Chapter 689
"Eunuch He, why don't you go and report that the Tianbei incident is about the lives of dozens of people." The Minister of the Household Department said anxiously.

He Chengzhi was in a dilemma, "My lord, please go back."

Hubu Shangshu frowned, lifted the corner of his robe and went directly to the closet on the floor, "I implore you to see the emperor."

"My lord, why are you doing this?" He Chengzhi asked.

"Dozens of people in Tianbei are in dire straits. Please ask the emperor to meet the humble minister."

Seeing this, He Chengzhi sighed, turned around and walked to the imperial study, "Your Majesty."

"He's gone?" Emperor Zhaowen asked.

He Chengzhi shook his head, "Master Chen just knelt outside, please see him."

"If I don't go out, is he planning to kneel down forever to threaten me?" Emperor Zhaowen said angrily.

He Chengzhi knelt on the ground with a plop.

Emperor Zhaowen glanced at him, "Do you think I should see him?"

"I believe that the emperor will make a wise decision, and I dare not speak rashly." He Chengzhi kowtowed back.

Emperor Zhaowen sneered, "Even now you dare to fool me."

"I don't dare." He Chengzhi knew that Emperor Zhaowen was venting his anger, so he hurriedly replied.

"Get out, since he wants to kneel, he should continue kneeling. I want to see how hard his knees are."

"Cha." He Chengzhi hurriedly got up and left.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Eunuch He come out again, Chen Shangshu hurriedly asked.

He Chengzhi shook his head, "My lord, you should go back first, the emperor is in a fit of anger, and no one will be seen."

Angry?
"What troubles has your majesty encountered recently?" Chen Shangshu was puzzled, it was just Tianbei's troubles recently, what else could there be?
He Chengzhi was silent, seeing this, Chen Shangshu knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, but if he left here, would he not even be able to enter the palace next time?

"I'll just keep kneeling here."

He Chengzhi sighed, and said nothing more.

It didn't take long for the news of Hubu Shangshu kneeling in front of the imperial study room to spread, but the people on King Rui's side were calm because Chen Shangshu belonged to King Duan.

"Sure enough, the kind of master has the kind of subordinates. The nature and style of the minister of the household department and the king of Duan are exactly the same. They are both so...straight." The speaking staff member said and finally laughed out loud.

"If Chen Shangshu annoyed the emperor because of this, and was dealt with by the emperor, it would undoubtedly cut off the king's arm." Who knows that the Ministry of Households is the place with the most lucrative water. After all, it is different from the Ministry of Punishment in charge of money and food.

The Ministry of Household, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry, except for the Ministry of War, the other five have their people involved in them, and their positions are important. Among them, the Ministry of Punishment is taken over by their princes, but the Minister of the Ministry of Finance is Duan Wang In addition, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also deliberately stood on their side. As for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, they are evenly matched.

If Chen Shangshu is dealt with, they will have the opportunity to support their people to go in, and then the situation where King Rui and King Duan are evenly matched in the court will also be broken.

"Continue to wait and see." King Rui ordered.

"Yes."

Mrs. Chen and Chen Shuhui both knew about Chen Shangshu's entry into the palace. They thought that Chen Shangshu would be back soon, but they couldn't be seen until nightfall, and the two couldn't help becoming anxious.

"Mother, don't worry, we'll let someone inquire again." Chen Shuhui comforted.

"En." Madam Chen nodded, but she couldn't hide the worry in her expression.
