The carriage crushed two long ruts on the snow. After a long silence, Zhao Hongjie said, "Looking north, are we still gathering with Li Da and the others?"

"Next time."

Originally, Chen Yichen planned to ask Zhao Hongjie to take care of Han Yong, so he went to find Li Da and other classmates in Yingtian Mansion to have a drink.

After all, I haven’t seen you for more than a year after leaving Shandong. I want to see what you have changed now as the end of the year.

But Han Yong's death made Chen Yichen lose this mind.

"Okay, anyway, you have been ordered to return to Beijing this time. There are more opportunities in the future, so I will gather next time."

"Um."

The carriage turned back to the Beizhen Fushiyaya. Before getting off the car, Zhao Hongjie still looked a little depressed and remembered, and said, "Xiangbei, I don't know what you have experienced during the water control in Shandong."

"But no matter what happened, as long as you need a word, brothers are there forever!"

Zhao Hongjie wanted to tell Chen Yichen that Han Yong was gone, and that he and the group of classmates and brothers from Yingtian Mansion could also go to the top.

Listening to Zhao Hongjie's words, Chen Yichen squeezed a smile on his face and replied: "I have never doubted it, go."

"See you next time."

Zhao Hongjie waved his hand, turned around and walked quickly into the Beizhen Fushiyaya.

He didn't know that Chen Yichen was related to the death of King Lu, and he was happy to meet again after a long separation. Now he feels that he should be cautious everywhere.

Seeing Zhao Hongjie's figure disappearing from his sight, Chen Yichen turned his head and looked at Bian He and said, "Mr. Bian, bribe the Wu to prepare for the burial of Mr. Han Qian, and then find someone to escort the coffin back to his hometown in Shandong for burial."

"In addition, Mr. Han Qian's parents, wife and children must also be properly placed."

"I understand."

Bian He bowed his orders, and even if Chen Yichen didn't give these instructions, he would take the initiative to do it.

The snowflakes in the capital were still flying all over the sky. Wang Lin, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei commander in the Forbidden City, was standing in front of Wang Zhen at this moment.

"Uncle, nephew is not doing his job well, Han Yong is dead."

Dead?

Listening to Wang Lin's report, Wang Zhen was only a little surprised. After all, Han Yong had been tortured by several rounds of severe torture by the Jinyiwei before, so it was normal that he could not hold on.

But the next sentence is not that simple.

"Did Han Yong explain what he said before his death?"

"No, Han Yong was tortured by Zhao Hongjie and suddenly he didn't say anything."

When Wang Zhen, who was lying on the recliner, heard the name Zhao Hongjie, sat up instantly.

"Why was he in the Ministry of Justice's Prison?"

"I don't know."

Wang Zhen did not continue to ask questions, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, and then suddenly clapped his hands and cheered.

"Okay, okay, okay, originally our family only suspected that there was something strange behind the matter of King Lu. Now it seems that Chen Yichen must be unable to escape!"

After hearing this, Wang Lin asked with horror expression: "Uncle, do you mean that King Lu was killed by Chen Yichen, how dare he kill the king?"

No matter how domineering Wang Lin and others are, they are still as superior and inferior as superiors. Although King Lu is not the emperor, he is still in the position of the king. Killing him is equivalent to plotting a rebel.

Chen Yichen wrote a memorial to expose King Lu’s plan to rebel, who would have thought that he was the real rebel-making official!

"No one can be sure of things without evidence."

The matter of killing the king is not trivial. Even with Wang Zhen’s current status, he dared not speak randomly.

"We can only say that we did not read it wrong at the beginning. This boy is really decisive and does not leave any hidden dangers for himself!"

When saying this, Wang Zhen was not furious, but instead showed an appreciation.

In his eyes, Han Yong was "manifested" by Zhao Hongjie. In fact, behind it was Chen Yichen's instruction to prevent risks before it happened!

Chen Yichen was young and could detect his actions so quickly that he immediately acted against the enemy and took the lead in silence.

The decisive behavior and the ruthless action are worthy of being the only one who can pass the third grade!

"It's really amazing."

At this moment, Wang Lin also reacted and nodded in agreement.

Chen Yichen had seen him twice in the court, with a gentle and upright look on his face, but unexpectedly there was another face behind him.

"But uncle and nephew don't understand something. Since I had known that Zhao Hongjie was Chen Yichen's man, why would he keep him by my side to support him?"

The relationship between Zhao Hongjie and Chen Yichen is a classmate in Yingtian Mansion. Wang Zhen actually knew about it early, but he never made any statement.

Even though he was "betrayed" by Chen Yichen, Wang Zhen did not take his anger on Zhao Hongjie, and even promoted him to Qianhu, the Jinyiwei.

As Wang Zhen’s nephew, Wang Lin naturally understood the relationship, but he still couldn’t understand why his uncle did this. Now Chen Yichen is in the limelight and still installing his people in the Jinyiwei, wouldn’t it be a disaster for raising a tiger?

Faced with Wang Lin's doubts, a deep smile appeared on Wang Zhen's face, and then said Dandan: "Many times the fatal blow comes from the people he trusts the most."

"Zhao Hongjie is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you will benefit endlessly."

"My nephew understands, but can Zhao Hongjie really use it for us?"

From what happened today, we can see that Zhao Hongjie dared to take the risk of helping Chen Yichen silence him in the Ministry of Justice's prison, which was loyal.

Wang Lin was really not sure that his uncle could completely subdue him.

"Now Zhao Hongjie is just an open card to us, but for Chen Yichen, he is a secret card, and the initiative is in our hands."

"My uncle is good at planning, and my nephew has to learn more."

Compared with his other nephew, Wang Shan, Wang Lin has to be a little more restrained in character. Since his uncle has a plan, he will follow his orders.

Looking at Wang Lin's look that he didn't understand, Wang Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Compared to his two incompetent nephews, looking at Chen Yichen's strategy now, he is no match for the same level. If this boy can be used by him, controlling the court is nothing, and making achievements in history is just around the corner!

But Wang Zhen just couldn't understand it. Judging from Chen Yichen's silence style today, he is also a person who seeks profit and avoids harm.

Then why did he break up with himself for the sake of Yu Qian?

What a pity, this kid has no way to die if he wants to be an enemy of him!

Chen Yichen naturally didn't know about the conversation between Wang Lin and Wang Zhen, so he returned to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage.

Seeing Chen Yichen's mood in a low mood, Chen Qingtong asked with concern: "Husband, have you encountered something outside?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

Chen Yichen tried his best to pretend to be as usual. He would never bring the right and wrong in the officialdom to his home, which made Chen Qingtong and his mother worried.

"Is it really okay?"

Chen Qingtong's eyes were bright, and she knew that her husband was better than his wife, not to mention that Chen Yichen almost wrote the words "depression" on her face.

"It was just that after meeting Zhao Hongjie, I felt a little sad when I learned that an old friend had passed away."

"The dead are gone, and the living are like this. Don't be too sad."

"Um."

Chen Yichen nodded, then walked to Chen Qingtong and hugged her gently.

"Husband, it will be the New Year in a few days. It is said that this year's dynasty meeting will be far beyond the previous years. We have to think of our congratulations to His Majesty in advance."

During the Ming Dynasty, every Lunar New Year's Day, a "big court meeting" would be held, also known as a great ceremony court meeting.

In addition, the first day of the Ming Dynasty was called Zhengdan Festival, so this dynasty meeting was named Zhengdan Festival.

As you can see from the "big" in the name alone, the scale of this dynasty meeting is far beyond that of the ordinary dynasty meeting. Under normal circumstances, all civil and military officials and foreign envoys in the capital on this day must enter the palace to congratulate the emperor on New Year.

In order to eliminate the impact of natural disasters in various places in recent years, the Zhengdan Dynasty meeting prays for good weather in the coming year. Not only will the capital officials go to the palace to pay homage, but some officials from local prefectures must come to Beijing to participate, and the number will be as many as 10,000.

As the Sanyuan Di titled by Zhu Qizhen, Chen Yichen naturally had to offer a gorgeous congratulatory message to demonstrate the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty's literary style.

But after Chen Yichen entered the official career, he went out to control the waters in Shandong and did not participate in the Zhengdan dynasty meeting in the eleventh year of Zhengtong. In addition, the scale this year is far greater than that of previous generations, Chen Yichen had to prepare more carefully to prevent the emperor's dissatisfaction.

"I see."

Regarding the congratulations, Chen Yichen felt like a green poem to Emperor Jiajing. A pile of nonsense made of gorgeous words is meaningless to the country and the people.

But this is true in the officialdom. Even if you know that this falls into the category of "not asking the people and ghosts and gods", you have to cooperate with it as much as possible.

"By the way, there is another thing I almost forgot about."

After Chen Qingtong said that, she turned around and took a letter of worship from the desk.

"This is a greeting letter sent by Gaoge when his husband was away in the afternoon. Open it and take a look."

Among the cabinet ministers in the Ming Dynasty, only one of them had the surname Gao, and that was Gao Yu.

Although Chen Yichen had worked under Gao Yu, his relationship with him was relatively unfavorable. On the day he left Dong Pavilion, both sides said heart-to-heart, which was considered to be a decent person.

But even so, Chen Yichen and Gao Yu had no personal relationship. How could he give him a message?

With this question, Chen Yichen opened the letter, which said that Yang Pu would bury his coffin in his hometown in Hubei after the New Year, and invited him to go to Yang's mansion to pay tribute.

"It was a great loss for the imperial court to leave Yangge. As a Hanlin, my husband went to Beijing to pay tribute to him in peace and reason."
