"I don't know!"

Sima Jian shook his head: "Although he is my son-in-law, he is unpredictable, and I don't know his next move!"

Mrs. Zhang was a little disappointed and turned around and asked: "Do you know the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Shangshu Hube’s eyes were a little dodgey: “We don’t know either!”

"snort......"

Mrs. Zhang said bitterly: "Shang Shu, I heard that you encouraged the King of Huangzhou to attack each of our families for the sake of official titles. Is it true?"

Shangshu Hube almost jumped up: "This is a rumor!"

"This is slander!"

"That's absolutely not the case!"

"Yeah?"

Madam Zhang looked unbelieving: "Shang Shu, why are you doing this?"

"Isn't the food in your house food?"

"Did your family's money come from the strong wind? Donating it will not hurt you at all?"

"Mrs. Zhang, you can't listen to rumors, you have to believe me!"

The Minister of Household Affairs said hurriedly: "This time, my family has donated a lot, but my vitality is also severely damaged. How can you listen to rumors and doubt me?"

"I really never instigated the King of Huangzhou to take action against each family!"

Then, he turned his attention to Sima Jian: "This is the refugee relief plan formulated by Mr. Zuo Xiang. What does it have to do with me?"

Everyone's eyes turned to Sima Jian!

Sima Jian closed his eyes helplessly: "If you think it is the truth, then it is the truth!"

Sima Jian did not refute!

Suddenly, the study fell into silence!

Six ministers, Mrs. Zhang, and all the masters are thoughtful!

At this time, the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Punishment looked at each other. They hesitated to speak, and finally did not speak again!

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyelids: "I believe it was not the left prime minister!"

Sima Jian opened his eyes: "As long as you understand!"

Immediately afterwards, Old Man Zhang with a gloomy face said again: "Two ministers, although you are now under the control of the King of Huangzhou, you are also members of a noble family, so don't turn your elbows outward!"

"Of course not!"

The Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Xing said in unison: "It's just that now both the Hubu and Xingbu are under the control of Huangzhou Wang. We can't help ourselves. You must understand!"

"We are really reluctant to work under him, and it's hard work!"

"snort......"

Mrs. Zhang was full of disbelief: "Shang Shu, is this really the case?"

"The treasury was empty, and you could not escape accountability. But now that the treasury is replenished, you are becoming more and more secure in your position as Minister. What's the pain?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance: "..."

Then Mrs. Zhang cast her suspicious eyes on the Minister of Punishment, and she seemed to have something to say!

The Minister of Punishment said hurriedly: "Mrs. Zhang, our Punishment Department has not benefited this time!"

"lie!"

Mrs. Zhang narrowed her eyes, with wrinkles filling the corners of her eyes: "Thieves are everywhere in the world today, and your criminal department is working hard but has made no achievements. If you continue like this, you will not only be dismissed from your position, but you may also be punished by the emperor, right?"

"Mrs. Zhang, don't talk nonsense!"

The Minister of Punishment will never admit it: "Since I took charge of the Punishment Ministry, I have been working hard to arrest thieves from all sides and maintain the order of the empire. However, there are too many thieves and I can't stop them!"

"Yeah?"

Mrs. Zhang didn't believe it at all: "The Ministry of Punishment is doing nothing, and His Majesty seems very dissatisfied. If you don't make any more achievements, you, the Minister of Punishment, will probably be done with it!"

The Minister of Civil Affairs blushed but did not refute!

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishment, you are now directly under the control of the king of Huangzhou. His reputation is very useful to you. It can make the gangsters from all sides surrender and flee for their lives. It can make your Ministry of Punishment breathe a sigh of relief, and it can make you inexplicably make many achievements.

With your merits, you can securely sit on the throne of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right?"

"Mrs. Zhang, you think so much!"

The Minister of Justice's face turned red: "I have never thought of it this way. This is all your conjecture!"

"I and you all share weal and woe. I have always opened the door to convenience for you in my position as Minister of Punishment. Have you all forgotten?"

Having said this, the Minister of Punishment raised his eyelids and said, "Mrs. Zhang, have your descendants done enough bad things?"

"If it weren't for me, the Minister of Punishment, you Zhang family descendants would have been imprisoned and executed long ago!"

"What do you think?"

The more the Minister of Punishment spoke, the straighter his back became: "Everyone, what are the people of your families like... You know for yourselves that if the things they did were dealt with according to the laws of the empire, they would be beheaded ten times.

Not an exaggeration!”

"But now, not only are they fine, but they are also living extremely well. Isn't it because of me?"

"Yes or no?"

Mrs. Zhang has ceased her activities!

Everyone thought of the lawless people at home!

They also remembered some bad things!

At this moment, when they looked at the Minister of Punishment, there was gratitude in their eyes!

yes!

If the Minister of Punishment had not covered up each of their families, if he had not killed those unruly people who dared to complain and eliminated their troubles, they would not be able to feel comfortable above the laws of the empire.

At this time.

"Cough cough cough..."

Sima Jian coughed a few times and attracted everyone's attention: "Everyone, do you really think that this time you were lured to the palace to petition?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "It should not be the fault of the Sima family leader!"

"The Sima family has been in charge of the government for more than ten years and has always protected the interests of our families. He has a long-term vision and is cautious in doing things. This kind of linking up to force the emperor is definitely not the behavior of the Sima family!"

"It's just that we were careless and angry at the time, and didn't notice anything unusual about Sima Yu, so we were fooled!"

"yes!"

Regret appeared on everyone's faces: "You were careless!"

"No!"

Sima Jian shook his head in denial: "You are not careless!"

"You are arrogant!"

"On weekdays, each of your families relies on your power, your true identity, and the protection of your officials to do whatever you want in the imperial capital. Now, you don't even pay attention to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Everyone is silent!

Yes!

now.

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyelids, her face full of anger: "Master Sima, when we followed the current emperor to force him to the palace, he said beforehand that if he won the world, he would share it with us, right?"

"right!"

Everyone nodded: "This matter has been recorded in the family history of each family!"

I saw Mrs. Zhang standing up with a slap on the armrest: "But after he ascended the throne, he seemed to have forgotten his promise to us. He did not give us fiefs, nor let us share the world. He just granted officials to each family so that each family could have their own.

It’s just a little bit of power, but it’s no different from how we were treated in Da Qin!”

The more Mrs. Zhang spoke, the angrier she became: "So, what's wrong with us using our privileges to make our family members live a better life?"

"Is there something wrong?"

"That's right!"

No one became angry: "Master Sima, do you think this is true?"

"Why......"

Sima Jian sighed quietly, with a heavy heart: "Everyone, I called you here this time because I wanted to tell you... Now that the King of Huangzhou has returned to the court as the right minister, you must act carefully and keep a low profile.

Some!"

"He doesn't do things according to common sense. No one knows what he can do... I'll tell you the truth here. Please take care of yourself!"

finally!

Mrs. Zhang asked: "Master Sima, if we have a conflict with King Huangzhou, which side will you stand on?"

"Of course I'm on your side!"

Sima Jian said without hesitation: "The wealthy families in the imperial capital belong to the same family!"

"What I want is your words!"

Mrs. Zhang stared at Sima Jian and said, "Then the old woman will just tell you...if the king of Huangzhou continues to serve as the right minister, there will be no way for us to survive, so we decided to kill him!"

"What?"
Chapter completed!
