Wu Yuan's inquiry made people panic.

Prime Minister Wen still wanted to dissuade him, but when he thought of Wu Yuan's uncompromising character, he finally gave up.

But the most fundamental reason is still this matter. It is not possible to investigate. It is also unjustifiable not to investigate. It is impossible to say whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!

Xiao Chenyu was not as panicked as before. Since the five hundred thousand taels of gold had been given away, there was no need to worry about the Xiao family's affairs.

We thought nothing would happen to us, but unexpectedly, Wu Yuan called his name again in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Chenyu!" Wu Yuan shouted.

"I'm here." Xiao Chenyu didn't dare to hesitate and agreed.

"You come from a noble family and know something about other noble families, so I order you to be the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the matter of selling and buying officials on my behalf without any mistakes. In addition, I will give you a Shangfang sword, with the right to kill first and report later."

Xiao Chenyu stared, never expecting that he would suddenly transform into an imperial envoy?

And there is also the Shangfang Sword given by the emperor. Although this is the first time I heard the title Shangfang Sword, it sounds very powerful.

What's even more amazing is that he actually has the power to kill first and then play later. Oh my god!

Xiao Chenyu's own heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. This was truly a great event that would bring glory to our ancestors.

"I thank your Majesty for your appreciation. I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust and investigate this matter thoroughly." Xiao Chenyu said very excitedly.

But after I finished speaking, my heart suddenly twitched again. Thinking about it carefully, something seemed not quite right.

The power of this imperial envoy is not small, but if you think about it carefully, it is an offending job.

If this matter is thoroughly investigated, I'm afraid people will be jealous.

Although the Xiao family is the number one tea merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, it is not the richest family. The real gentry is in the hands of those salt merchants. Those people are really relatives of the emperor, and they are not something the Xiao family can offend.

.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that this job is not so wonderful.

The main reason is that Xiao Chenyu doesn't know how far Wu Yuan wants to go, but it's not appropriate to ask about this kind of thing now. In any case, this imperial envoy will never give up.

The other ministers also looked at Xiao Chenyu with envy, doubt, and gloating, but no one would deny that this imperial minister had really great power.

It is really incredible that the new emperor gave such a high official to a sixth-grade official.

Wu Yuan didn't care what these people thought, and then looked at Tian Wenxing, "Tian Wenxing, I ordered you to be the imperial envoy, are you willing to investigate the matter of selling officials with Xiao Chenyu?"

Xiao Chenyu and Tian Wenxing had different moods after Wu Yuan finished speaking.

Xiao Chenyu did not expect that Wu Yuan also arranged for Tian Wenxing to follow him. He had seen Tian Wenxing's performance just now. He was a difficult person to deal with. He felt more like a wise and foolish type.

Compared to Xiao Chenyu's complicated mood, Tian Wenxing was surprised at first, and then agreed, "I respect His Majesty's will."

Tian Wenxing would not disobey any of Wu Yuan's orders, but it was a pity that he could not go back to study and communicate with General Xin.

During those days in Boulder City, Tian Wenxing lived a very fulfilling life and experienced another side of the army.

But I can only say sorry to General Xin, he is going to carry out the mission assigned to him by Wu Yuan.

And this was also the first thing Wu Yuan told him to do after saving him.

Tian Wenxing is very motivated and ready to go all out.

Prime Minister Wen on the side looked at his complacent look, and couldn't help but feel worried. Tian Wenxing's character was too upright, and he was not suitable for investigating such a case full of human emotions.

I'm afraid Tian Wenxing will offend many people after this incident.

Thinking of this, Prime Minister Wen was willing to take the risk of making Wu Yuan unhappy, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I understand this child Wen Xing. He is still young and has little qualifications. I am afraid he is not qualified for this job. Please forgive me for taking back his life."

"Teacher, I..." Tian Wenxing did not expect that Prime Minister Wen would come forward to stop him, and subconsciously asked Prime Minister Wen to leave it alone.

"What am I? Shut your mouth. I want to fly before I have learned how to run?" Prime Minister Wen scolded.

Although Tian Wenxing was unwilling to do so, he still knew that once he was a teacher, he was always a father.

Furthermore, Wen Cheng's kindness towards him was also not small.

"Yes, I realize my mistake." Tian Wenxing said, then lowered his head and stopped talking.

Prime Minister Wen didn't care about Tian Wenxing's mood now, he just prayed that Wu Yuan could take back his life.

"Prime Minister Wen, I know very well what you are thinking. What I want to tell you is that the flowers in the greenhouse are the ones that cannot withstand the most blows. If jade is not polished, it cannot be used. If it does not experience wind and rain, how can there be a rainbow?

"

"Without going through wind and rain, how can there be a rainbow?" Murong Haitang and Yan Fei looked at Wu Yuan in high spirits, and were shocked by Wu Yuan's words.

The other ministers were also savoring it carefully. The more they thought about it, the more they admired it. Such a simple sentence contained the philosophy of life.

Prime Minister Wen also opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn't know how to refute.

At this time, Tian Wenxing finally summoned up the courage to say to Prime Minister Wen: "Teacher, just let me go. I will definitely be able to do it."

Prime Minister Wen smiled bitterly, and in the end he could only nod in agreement without saying anything more.

Xiao Chenyu, who was not far away, saw this scene and immediately realized that Wu Yuan seemed to attach great importance to Tian Wenxing.

But the most troublesome part is Tian Wenxing's stubbornness that can be seen through at a glance. Xiao Chenyu is already wailing in his heart. With such a partner, why don't you offend everyone to death?

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you two. Any investigation results can be reported directly to the Accounts Department. After all, it is related to the bank issue. Of course, I will always pay attention to you."

"The silver issue?" Xiao Chenyu seemed to understand Wu Yuan's meaning for a moment.

The matter of selling an official position to buy one is a serious crime of beheading, and the investigation results should be conveyed to the emperor for review first.

But they actually asked them to contact the account department directly and said it was a bank issue.

Doesn’t that mean that the new emperor’s real purpose is not to seek guilt, but to make money?

After understanding this, Xiao Chenyu felt very good.

If this was the case, he was confident that he could satisfy Wu Yuan. He was very familiar with how to deal with those aristocratic families.

Murong Haitang's eyes also lit up. Originally, she took the lead in talking so much, and her purpose was naturally to collect money from those wealthy gentry, but her initial plan was to raise donations, and major contributors could be rewarded by Wu Yuan

A one-off official position.

But now it seems that there is no need to go to such trouble.

Although the process may be similar, the statement is completely different. Wu Yuan asked them to spend money to atone for their sins.
