Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen has always felt uneasy these days.

It always feels like something bad is going to happen.

Could it be that I had an illusion when I read the memorials about the severe drought in the four northern states?

Zhou Chen put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed the center of his brows.

In the past two days, the matter of Empress Wu Ying and General Wu Jin has come to an end, and everything has returned to normal.

I don't know if it's because the Ministry of Household Affairs had no money or something. There has been a backlog of memorials for the severe drought in the four northern states.

But now, seeing that the household department has money, all these memorials about the severe drought in the north have been sent to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, waiting for Zhou Chen's approval.

In the past two days, Zhou Chen has dealt with the urgent memorials sent by the prefectures of the four northern states.

In both cases, the local government is unable to provide disaster relief, and the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to allocate funds to provide disaster relief and save the people.

"These courtiers seem to dislike the fact that the Ministry of Households has money in the treasury."

"As soon as the house ransacked to fill up the household department, all eyes were on the household department's treasury."

Zhou Chen sighed in his heart.

Zhou Chen would not be so naive as to think that the officials sent these memorials for help from the severe drought in the north to him for the purpose of disaster relief and relief of the common people.

If it was really for disaster relief and relief of the people, such memorials would not have been backlogged for such a long time before.

It was obvious that these courtiers were ulterior motives rather than drinking, and they were all eyeing the considerable amount of silver taels sent to the Ministry of Households this time.

Too.

Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money.

Isn't this exactly what Zhou Chen wanted to achieve?

At this time, Cao Zhengchun walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"emperor."

"The person behind Zhao Gao, the old slave has already found out."

Cao Zhengchun came to Zhou Chen's side,

Said softly.

"oh!"

Zhou Chen was taken aback for a moment, and a gleam shot out of his eyes.

"who is it?"

Zhou Chen was very curious about this behind-the-scenes man who wanted to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, even the empress Wu Ying and him, the emperor, dared to plot.

Zhou Chen really wanted to see who was so bold as to let Zhao Gao poison the Tai Tuo to death in the prison, and let him, the emperor, take the blame.

"Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun sent two notes to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the note.

There are not many words on the two notes, only a few words of chat.

Zhou Chen glanced, and the light in his eyes flashed; "It turned out to be him."

Zhou Chen's expression didn't change much, and he didn't seem too surprised by the answer on the note.

really.

Zhou Chen was not surprised by the answer on the note.

To be precise, Zhou Chen had long made a suspicious list of the people behind Zhao Gao.

Coincidentally, the answer on the note was one of the ones on the list.

Therefore, Zhou Chen was not surprised by the result that Cao Zhengchun found.

Zhou Chen put down the two pieces of paper in his hand and smiled; "None of my brothers are fuel-efficient lamps."

"They all stare covetously at the chair under my buttocks."

"Especially my fourth brother, the late emperor named him the 'Happy King', he is not at all happy, and he still thinks about these things, he is ashamed of the late emperor's intentions. "

Zhou Chen said sarcastically.

It is said that Zhou Qian, the king of Xiaoyao, was named the "King of Xiaoyao" because he likes to be free and unrestrained. Now it seems that there is some truth in this statement.

That's right, the answer on the note is the Happy King 'Zhou Qian'.

Xiaoyao Wang Zhouqian is also the person behind Zhao Gao.

Cao Zhengchun next to him listened to Zhou Chen's words and lowered his head silently. An eunuch could not intervene in this kind of royal matter.

All he had to do was pretend to be deaf and dumb, waiting for Zhou Chen's order.

Zhou Chen asked him to arrest people, and he did.

Zhou Chen asked him to kill, and he killed.

This is the true meaning of his existence as the governor of the East Factory.

As for the others, that's not something he, the governor of the East Factory, should worry about.

After Zhou Chen put down the two notes, he tapped the dragon case regularly with his fingers and fell silent.

Does anyone know what Zhou Chen is thinking?

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation suddenly became dull.

A few minutes later, Zhou Chen stopped tapping the dragon case and said, "Immediately send an order to the Eight Sage Kings to enter the palace and ask him to come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to see me."

Cao Zhengchun next to him heard the words and immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then, Cao Zhengchun waved his hand to signal an inner guard in the hall to go out of the palace immediately to deliver the decree.

...

"My lord, I have seen the emperor."

Half an hour later, the eight virtuous king Zhou Xian entered the palace and came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and directly greeted Zhou Chen as a monarch and minister.

Regardless of the status of the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian in the royal family, this courtesy of the monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded.

Even if the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian is the uncle of the emperor Zhou Chen.

This point, the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian was very clear in his heart.

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian.

The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian is much older than before, and he is not as capable as before.

It seems that Zhou Junxian's death dealt a great blow to the Eight Sage Kings.

Zhou Chen sighed inwardly, and waved his hand to the Eighth Wise King; "Uncle Eighth Emperor, don't be too polite."

"I called Eight Emperor Uncle here today because I have something to ask Eight Emperor Uncle."

As Zhou Chen said, he motioned to Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun immediately understood, and sent the two notes to the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian.

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, you should take a look at this first!"

The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian took the note from Cao Zhengchun after hearing the words.

To be honest, the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian was a little curious about why Zhou Chen was in such a hurry to recruit him into the palace.

With doubts and curiosity, the Eighth Sage King glanced at the contents of the two notes.

Those few words made the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian's hands tremble uncontrollably, and the note almost fell to the ground.

"My lord, is this true?"

"This kind of thing is not a trivial matter, especially when it involves the prince of my Great Zhou royal family."

Eight Sage King Zhou Xian looked up at Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

There is one thing that the Eight Sage Kings did not dare to say, that is, it not only involves ordinary royal princes, but also princes of the direct bloodline who are the same royal brothers as Zhou Chen.

If there is no solid evidence for this, there will be a big problem.

Zhou Chen met the gaze of the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian, and said noncommittally, "Uncle Eight Emperor, do you think I would joke about such a thing?"

"I'm also wondering, has the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty become so rotten?"

"Such rebels appear one after another. Is it because I have lost my morality, or is it that the people in the royal family are dissatisfied with the emperor and want to overthrow the emperor?"

"Uncle Eight Emperors, you are in charge of the clan's mansion, and you tell me that someone from the royal family is gone, and you still think that I can't lift a sword anymore."

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian coldly.

Although Zhou Chen's tone was calm, it was like thunder to the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian's ears.

The Eighth Wise King, Zhou Xian, knelt on the ground with a 'plop'; "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of not being in charge of the clan's mansion."

The Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian knew that this was not asking for advice, but was asking him how the Eighth Sage King Zhou Xian was in charge of the clan's mansion.

People in the royal family repeatedly appear this kind of evil-hearted person. Could it be that he, the head of the clan's mansion, is just doing nothing?

"Uncle Eighth Emperor, what I want to hear is not guilt."

"If the Eight Emperor Uncle can't handle the affairs of the royal family, then I don't recommend handing over to Dongchang to handle it."

"Dongchang can handle the affairs of the queen and her relatives well. I believe that the royal family's affairs can't be difficult for Dongchang."

Zhou Chen looked at the Eight Sage King Zhou Xian and said slowly.
