Chapter 63 Being tripped up
  When Wang Lian heard about it, he had to remind him.

"Your Majesty, messages are flying around the palace today. They all say that Your Majesty went to Yikun Palace not to see the imperial concubine, but to see Ren Yuhuan."

"They also said that Your Majesty is placing Ren Yuhuan in this way because the Imperial Concubine is pregnant, and he also thinks that she is of a low origin. When the Imperial Concubine's child is born, she will be included in the harem."

Shen Yanzhi sat on the chariot, his face sullen and expressionless.

Wang Lian knew in his heart that Shen Yanzhi was angry.

But he still took a deep breath and continued: "Your Majesty, it's not that your slave is daring to overstep his bounds. It's just that there are many messages everywhere, and you can't find the root cause. If you say it for a long time, it will become true..."

Shen Yanzhi smiled coldly: "It doesn't matter who is distributing the messages, they are just those who want to get benefits and want to cause trouble."

I just want to see what these people want to do.

"Okay, let's go back to the imperial study today."

Wang Lian breathed a sigh of relief and immediately directed the palace people to control the study.

After that, Shen Yanzhi continued to go his own way as always, while Ren Yuhuan, as the catering lady, often stayed not in the imperial dining room, but in the imperial study room.

When Shen Yanzhi saw what was going on, he would ask Ren Yuhuan to cook tea, and she was like a personal serving maid.

The concubines in the harem were all jealous, and they all went to Concubine Shu to complain.

But Concubine Shu had a sullen face and just ignored it.

Those concubines ignored her when they thought of Concubine Shu. I guess the rumors were true!

In fact, this rumor was spread by Ren Yuhuan herself. She was still a little unsure about Shen Yanzhi's mood, so she tried many times to prevent him from being half-hearted.

Seeing that Shen Yanzhi didn't take the rumors to heart at all, he felt a little relieved at this moment.

However, the prime minister and two adults rushed directly outside the imperial study hall and knelt down to see his majesty.

Ren Yuhuan originally wanted to retreat, but at the moment, he was helping Shen Yanzhi polish his ink, so he couldn't leave him alone.

Shen Yanzhi ignored the announcement from the palace servants. Seeing Ren Yuhuan's embarrassment, he said: "Keep polishing the ink, I still want to use it."

After receiving the order, Ren Yuhuan continued to kneel down and help Shen Yanzhi polish the ink.

Her sleeves were swinging on the desk, revealing a pink singlet underneath the blue shirt.

Shen Yanzhi remembered that the imperial concubine once wore a single piece of this color when she was sleeping, so he couldn't help but stare at it a few more times.

"Let them in."

The prime minister came to the stage with the minister of Dali Temple and the censor of Yushitai, knelt down and saluted, and then stood up.

The three people's eyes suddenly fell on Ren Yuhuan, who was wearing ink.

Three sharp eyes stared at her as if they saw something dirty. Ren Yuhuan tensed up and tightened the magic block in his hand, causing a few drops of ink to fly.

It happened to fall on the yellow brocade tablecloth on the desk. Ren Yuhuan was startled and was about to confess, when he saw Shen Yanzhi move the teacup over to cover the ink spots.

But he didn't look at her, and just asked below: "What's the matter with the three ministers of the court coming here together?"

After all, the prime minister was old and calm, so he just bowed and reported back: "Your Majesty, I have received a joint letter from the Yushitai and the Dali Temple to impeach the Grand Master Ren Tianbao."

The minister of Dali Temple came forward and reported: "The details of Ren Tianbao's case of seizing land near the capital and beating tenant farmers to death have been written down in the book. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Wang Lian hurriedly came down, reached out and took it and handed it to Shen Yanzhi.

Ren Yuhuan, who was kneeling next to him, felt mixed after hearing this. Her father didn't know how much he had done this kind of thing, and he would be found out this time, especially after Ren Qianyu was made a noble concubine, his father, who was so carried away, did so many things like this.

At that time, everyone was afraid of his power and did not dare to say anything. Now that it has been discovered, I am afraid that someone with an intention is searching everywhere to find a flaw.

Although he didn't know much about the previous dynasty, Ren Yuhuan also knew that Shen Yanzhi favored his father.

But the officials who have always been at odds with each other are all from the Ministry of Civil Service and the Minister of Civil Affairs. How come they actually brought in the Prime Minister and the Yushitai, and even the Minister of Dali Temple came?

Ren Yuhuan's mind was spinning rapidly and he came to a point.

The child, the child in the imperial concubine's belly is Shen Yanzhi's first child. It has always been said in the palace that your majesty only loves the imperial concubine. It is very likely that this child will become the prince.

They hope to suppress Ren Tianbao's power and stop the power of his relatives.

That's why the prime minister took this side.

After Shen Yanzhi read the twists and turns, his expression was not very angry, and the prime minister gave Yushitai a wink.

Master Yushitai stepped forward and handed over his hands to report: "Your Majesty, there are countless cases where the Grand Master has behaved like this, and there are more than one cases that have resulted in human lives. It has aroused the anger of the people and cannot be tolerated. Your Majesty, please take a closer look."

Wang Lian hurriedly walked down and took the impeachment package from Master Yushitai and handed it over.

But Shen Yanzhi didn't look at it immediately, he just pressed it on the table.

"As you said, this has happened for half a year. How come it is only exposed now?"

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Dali Temple immediately raised his hands and went forward to report: "It's a coincidence that the Minister of Dali Temple was out in the suburbs and encountered a group of people chasing a person, so he stepped forward to stop him and rescued that person."

"Who would have thought that after the man was rescued, he would say that he was being hunted by the Grand Master and had already killed his family, and he would not let him go now."

"Dali Temple immediately jointly investigated with Yushitai and investigated the case on Zhou Zhe. All the evidence is there. Please give your Majesty a clear review."

Shen Yanzhi hummed before picking up Zhou Zhe to look at it.

"You think that the grand master is not worthy of being an official, and you want me to demote him and send him to another place?"

Ren Yuhuan's heart was moved, but he suppressed his expression, lowered his head and just polished the ink, as if he had never heard it.

When the prime minister saw Shen Yanzhi's suspicious expression, he understood something in his heart.

I'm afraid that if His Majesty treats this matter as a factional struggle in the imperial court, then he won't be able to capture Ren Tianbao.

So he immediately stepped forward and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, please look at the time of occurrence of various cases. They all occurred after the imperial concubine was granted the title. Ren Tianbao usually considers himself a relative of the emperor and has always been arrogant and does whatever he wants. How can your majesty do it?" tolerate?"

Shen Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, and he held the two points in his hand and knocked on the table.

"You mean that my tolerance of favoritism has led to Ren Tianbao taking advantage of his power to do whatever he wants?"

The prime minister just wanted to remind Shen Yanzhi to pay attention to his relatives, but he didn't want Shen Yanzhi to see only this side, so he quickly confessed in fear.

"I don't mean this. I just remind your majesty that relatives should not go too far."

Shen Yanzhi threw the two documents on the table and nodded affirmatively: "The Prime Minister is right. I understand what you mean. Prime Minister, please raise your head."

The prime minister breathed a sigh of relief and quickly straightened his body, waiting for Shen Yan's next words.

"However, if there are so many supervisory departments such as Dali Temple, Yushitai, Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Ministry of Punishment, as you wrote, if so many cases have occurred but they have not been investigated for half a year, wouldn't it be too much for people who have nothing to do with their corpses? many?"

"Is this how all my departments work?"
