Power ministers always make things difficult for me

"Why go to jail?"

baffling.

Rong Qin smiled and said unhurriedly: "Don't the Imperial Master have doubts about the inference of the truth? Whether Jiang Mingcang is worth doubting, in fact, the truth is not clear in his heart, and he must confirm it after all."

"Is it possible that...the Imperial Master doesn't dare?"

"What am I afraid of!" Pei Qi was aroused by him and wanted to win. She knew Jiang Mingcang's character very well. Even if he wanted to check, he couldn't find anything.

Simply convince him and never dare to doubt Jiang Mingcang again.

"If Lord Rong cannot find anything useful this time, please put aside your suspicion of His Majesty's despicable intentions."

Rong Qin shook his folding fan, nodded with a smile, and raised his hand in the direction of the door: "Please, Master Imperial Master."

Hmm... Even if nothing could be found out, he would continue to doubt Jiang Mingcang if he should.

This is nothing more than a temporary measure.

After all, he has always been a villain in Pei Qi's eyes, and he can chase him back without even using a horse.

Pei Qi, who was striding out at this moment, naturally didn't know what Rong Qin was thinking.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Rong Qin followed behind.

"Did I let you go?" Pei Qi glared at him.

Rong Qin didn't care at all, he just let himself lie inside and leaned back lazily: "What's wrong with the original person who came here and now he is carrying the original information together with the national master?"

"No, get down!" Pei Qi gritted his teeth.

He has martial arts skills. If he doesn't want to leave, he can just fly over. The relationship between the two of them is not that good yet, right?

Although it is only a short-term cooperative relationship at present, this relationship is only a private transaction. If word reaches His Majesty's ears, what will he think?

But Rong Qin didn't take it seriously. He held his head and opened his mouth: "I don't."

"you!"

How can a dignified right minister behave like a scoundrel!

"Rong Qin, my patience has its limit!"

Rong Qin took his time and looked at her with a smile: "Oh, let's get angry?"

Pei Qi: "..."

Pei Qi rolled up his sleeves and turned his head to find some handy weapon in the carriage to beat him up, but in the end he failed.

After locking the teacup on the low table in front of him, Pei Qi grabbed it and threw it towards Rong Qin.

Unexpectedly, Rong Qin had expected it. He raised his hand slightly to catch the teacup and placed it firmly in front of him.

He also poured a glass of water and cast a provocative look: "Thank you, Imperial Master. I know I'm thirsty, so I handed you a cup."

Pei Qi: "..."

Who wants to pass you a cup!

"Master Imperial Master, do we want to leave?"

Seeing the two of them in such a posture, the coachman outside the door didn't know whether to leave for a moment, so he poked his head in and asked cautiously during the gap between words.

Pei Qi had no choice but to compromise with Rong Qin and didn't want to mess up the situation, so he had to grit his teeth and compromise.

"go!"

……

Outside Dali Temple.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Pei Qi climbed out with a dark face, not wanting to stay with Rong Qin for a second longer.

Dali Temple was an important place for the imperial court, and countless criminals were imprisoned there. If you want to enter, you must obtain Liu Shuen's permission.

Pei Qi walked to the door and nodded politely to the guards: "I have something to do and I want to go to Dali Temple. Please let me know..."

"No need." Rong Qin followed up from behind and interrupted Pei Qi's words: "Could it be that the Imperial Master has forgotten that half of this Dali Temple is the original one. If you want to go in, why bother?"

"Come with me."

Pei Qi: "..."

All right. Rong Qin holds great power, so it is reasonable for him to interfere with Dali Temple. If not, how could he interrogate her personally in the first place?

It's no wonder that Liu Shuen, a rare honest official, could personally deny the transfer of the gold medal arrow.

In the final analysis, it's just one person setting up a trap and thousands of people setting it up.

Seeing that Pei Qi didn't move, Rong Qin turned around and glanced sideways at her: "What else does the Imperial Master have to do?"

Thinking of Liu Shuen's kneel and kowtow to the late emperor in court, Pei Qi couldn't help but move his lips: "Liu Shuen's wife died young, his daughters are all married, and his only son is out on business, and he has never had any interference with the court. I think I don’t understand that an honest and upright official like him is willing to do things for you.”

"What kind of leverage did you use to threaten him?"

Rong Qin was slightly stunned.

After being troubled for a long time, it turned out that I was thinking about this.

Yes, Liu Shuen is an upright official, and it is not easy to make him obedient.

Rong Qin stepped back and walked slowly to Pei Qi: "Actually, Liu Shuen and you, the Imperial Master, are the same kind of people. They are willing to put their whole hearts into the so-called loyal king and caring people."

"The Imperial Preceptor can weigh the pros and cons and use all his resources to prevent Jiang Fengchuan from ascending the throne, because in the Imperial Preceptor's heart, Jiang Fengchuan is violent and murderous. As long as he becomes the new emperor Dasheng, he will not be able to do well."

"But...Liu Shuen is different."

Rong Qin paused, noticed Pei Qi's puzzled eyes, and suddenly chuckled.

It seemed that he didn't understand what he meant.

"Liu Shuen came from a humble background and gained fame with the ambition of serving the country. However, due to the lack of power in the court, he could only start from a humble official."

But even so, Liu Shuen had outstanding abilities and solved countless cases. Even the late emperor who was far away in the imperial capital had heard about him and admired him as a person.

Then, he walked step by step to the position of Minister of Dali Temple.

But what does this mean?

Pei Qi still didn't understand and looked at him with a frown: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"The truth is that Liu Shuen, like the Imperial Master, cares about nothing more than peace and prosperity in the world."

Rong Qin leaned close to her ear, covered his whispering movements with a folding fan, and said in a deep voice: "But the Imperial Master must not forget that this majestic court has no room for honest officials."

"Liu Shuen never formed a party for personal gain, nor did he want to find anyone as a backer. How could he be able to find out all the unscrupulous corrupt officials in the court and imprison them in Dali Temple one by one, and yet he could live unharmed until now?"

"As Ben Xiang said just now, half of this Dali Temple belongs to Ben Xiang. If Liu Shuen can't contain that group of people, then Ben Xiang will do it."

In other words, those powerful thieves who were once identified and arrested by Liu Shuen were actually... all in the hands of Rong Qin.

Rather than saying that Rong Qin threatened Liu Shuen, it would be better to say that Liu Shuen voluntarily cooperated with Rong Qin.

Pei Qi couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Rong Qin in disbelief.

Rong Qin would actually help Liu Shuen and fight against corrupt officials?

According to Rong Qin's personality, this is simply impossible.

But all this is reasonable and reasonable...

Wait!

Pei Qi suddenly thought of something, and subconsciously grabbed Rong Qin's sleeve and asked, "Even so, Jiang Fengchuan's brutal killing was seen by everyone, and even if Liu Shuen had an affair with you, he would not recognize him as the new emperor! "

"How do you explain this?"

Rong Qin lowered his eyes at the hands holding his sleeves, and looked into Pei Qi's eyes, half smiling.

"Because...if Liu Shuen doesn't obey, the truth will find a reason to let him go after he was finally caught in Dali Temple."

"When the time comes for those who are reinstated and return to the court, isn't it Liu Shuen who will be the first to be eliminated?"

After saying that, Rong Qin pretended to sigh with regret: "Well... but people like Liu Shuen naturally don't care about their own lives."

"But Imperial Master, you have to know that everyone has a scale in their heart."

"In your eyes, Jiang Fengchuan is a foolish king no matter what. If he ascends the throne, it will be the worst outcome."

"But in Liu Shuen's heart, no matter how cruel Jiang Fengchuan is, he is still someone who once guarded the border and protected the city. And those corrupt officials are the real evil ghosts who use the people as bait to pursue personal gains and use any means."

"Compared to Jiang Fengchuan's ascension to the throne, maybe...Liu Shuen doesn't want those people to be released from prison."

Therefore, I was willing to use my own body as a pawn to join his chess game.
