Chapter 50 This time, it seems that the country can be disrupted [For further reading]
Wan Hong put away himself, pretending to be wise, and said to please Ning Chen:
"Master Ning, if you have anything to ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Seeing Wan Hong like this, Ning Chen suddenly felt comfortable.
Looking at Wan Hong's appearance, Wan Hong himself is obviously very comfortable.
Ning Chen wanted to speak, but he saw Wan Hong twisting back and forth with a big meat ball in front of him.
Ning Chen frowned and said, "Okay, go ahead and change your clothes. Don't twist back and forth."
Wan Hong stood up and grabbed the linen clothes on his body, trying not to let the linen clothes touch his skin.
Wan Hong grabbed one side and said, "Master Ning, I really can't get used to wearing these clothes.
Even though I have an undershirt underneath, I still feel cramped."
"Hurry up and change. My time is limited." Ning Chen looked at Fatty Wan's appearance and was speechless.
Wan Hong confessed again and then went to the back to change clothes.
Soon Wan Hong changed back to his accustomed silk and satin and sat in front of Ning Chen again.
"Tell me, what happened in the court during my absence?
Also, what is the situation regarding the fifth prince?"
Wan Hong responded, and then recounted the events to Ning Chen in a clear and chronological order.
This sounds much more comfortable than Sun Feilan's confused and confused words.
According to Wan Hong, the short period of time when he was not in the court was really exciting.
The cooperation between Lin Dunxin and Dawu Zhao completely parted ways after they moved to Lin Youwei, the minister of household affairs.
Therefore, during Ning Chen's absence, Lin Dunxin relied on his status as left prime minister.
Wu Zhao led the civil servants and forced him to reject several decrees.
Most of them are appointed by officials.
Lin Youwei's Lin Party collapsed, leaving many positions vacant.
For Wu Zhao, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity.
You can place some people who will benefit you.
For Lin Tunxin, this is also an opportunity to expand his influence in the DPRK.
Therefore, between Wu Zhao and Lin Dunxin, one activated the imperial power technique in advance, and the other continuously used his dragon-binding technique.
It can be said that the court hall is very lively every day.
Although Lin Dunxin had the ability to force Wu Zhao, Wu Zhao relied on his own skills to firmly capture several key departments at the time.
Of course there is sacrifice.
Not to mention anything else, Cao Xing was promoted based on his merit in the exam before Ning Chen left.
He was directly transferred from Dali Temple and went to Jingzhao Mansion to serve as governor.
It seems that the level has been improved, but everyone knows that it is the most difficult to be the governor under the emperor's feet.
Especially because of Emperor Shun's previous actions and Wu Zhao's rise to power.
Nowadays, the capital can be said to be in a state of flux.
To put it more simply, Cao Xing is now Jing Zhaoyin.
Beheading is a good idea, but relegation is not a good idea.
Ning Chen didn't quite understand the matter of Cao Xing.
According to what Fatty Wan said, Lu Gao once recommended Cao Xing to come to his Hu Department and serve as the head of the Jin Department.
However, Cao Xing refused. He seemed to regard Lu Gao as a poisonous scorpion and did not want to come into contact with him at all.
Although the head of the gold department is not as high as Jing Zhaoyin, he is safe and has a bright future.
Basically, the next step is to succeed Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Hubu, and Lu Gao will definitely become the Minister of Hubu.
When the time comes, there will be someone covering the top, and it will still be in a place with real power like the Ministry of Household Affairs. No matter how you look at it, it will be better than Jing Zhaoyin.
What did Cao Xing think?
Fatty Wan was not very clear about this either. Fatty Wan even said that Lu Gao was depressed about this for several days.
Ning Chen didn't think much about Cao Xing and Lu Gao for the time being.
We have to wait until tomorrow, after the court, to see about this.
As for the fifth prince's matter, Ning Chen heard Fatty Wan explain it clearly.
The truth of the matter is not as simple as Sun Feilan said.
That beautiful commoner girl was not discovered by the fifth prince himself.
It was the Fifth Prince's men who discovered it and then told the Fifth Prince.
Of course, robbery still exists.
At the same time, the family situation of the civilian girl was indeed as Sun Feilan said.
He was a down-and-out military household, and his home was in Anlefang, next to Yanzuofang.
It is also a place where poor people gather.
Moreover, there is not only one such dilapidated military guard in Anlefang.
So if you look at the background, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this military household.
At most, I gave birth to a beautiful daughter.
As for the fifth prince, his background is a little bigger.
There is no other reason. This fifth prince is the biological brother of Wu Zhaoyi's compatriots.
At the same time, according to Fatty Wan, this fifth prince can be regarded as a pioneer of the royal family's anti-Wuzhao.
Within the royal family, Wu Zhao was very unwelcome as the crown prince.
Therefore, in Ning Chen's opinion, this time the so-called fifth prince raped a common girl.
It was most likely a test of Wu Zhao, and at the same time a blow to Wu Zhao's authority.
If this matter is not dealt with, Wu Zhao's authority as the crown prince will be undermined.
At the same time, if it is publicized publicly, it will definitely chill the public.
Especially this time, the fifth prince robbed a civilian girl from a military household.
Although he is just a run-down ordinary military household, how many people who join the military today can guarantee that they will become successful?
Most of them will eventually return to normal life after serving in the military.
Or die directly on the battlefield.
When I think of myself fighting to the death at the front, my family behind me is being bullied.
Who has the heart to serve the country?
Now it is because both parties have a tacit understanding, so the matter is not publicized.
But if Wu Zhao doesn't deal with this matter, then someone will naturally jump out and spread the word.
Of course, it would also be very difficult for Wu Zhao to deal with this matter.
Putting aside the fact that the fifth prince is her brother from the same mother-in-law.
Even if he was just an ordinary prince, Wu Zhao had not been in charge of the government for long.
He started to attack his brothers, which would definitely make the royal family members dissatisfied and make them unstable.
In this way, they would have an excuse to depose Wu Zhao.
In short, this wave is very difficult for Wu Zhao.
"What do all the ministers in the court mean?" Ning Chen continued to ask Fatty Wan.
Fatty Wan said: "The attitude of the ministers in the court towards this matter is to make it a trivial matter.
Zuo Xiang and others hoped that Wu Zhao could persuade the fifth prince.
Since you like the other person, give him an identity.
In this case, the matter will be resolved.
Most people think so, they all say.
The eldest princess has just gained a foothold.
At this time, it is really not appropriate to have a head-on conflict with the royal family members.
It would be great if we could reduce big things to small things.
In this way, the world will be peaceful, which will be good for everyone."
"What's the attitude of the eldest princess now? Are you planning to make it a trivial matter?" Ning Chen continued to ask.
Fatty Wan told Ning Chen what he heard, "I don't know what the eldest princess is thinking.
But I heard them say that the eldest princess must have been persuaded by Zuo Xiang and others.
If you plan this matter, just make it a trivial matter.
At most, it's just that your dignity has suffered some losses.
It’s just that the fifth prince doesn’t agree with this approach.”
Ning Chen thought about this matter in his mind, and felt that it seemed feasible.
Because according to what Fatty Wan is saying now, if this matter is not handled well, the court will be in turmoil, and it may even cause chaos among the royal masters, and then cause instability in the country.
There is nothing more sycophant than causing trouble to the country.
