As the auxiliary minister appointed by the late emperor, he worked quietly for so many years and finally gained the strength to dominate the court.
But he had been quiet for many years, and the emperor had never suffered from him, and he didn't know how powerful he was.
Since the emperor wanted to protect Shangguan Yuan, he simply "retired" when faced with difficulties, took a sick leave for himself, and handed over the task of supervising the case of King Gui.
It has been eight years since Changsun Lue ascended the throne. How could he not see that Duke Rongguo Xu Huaishan was trying to establish his authority?
But just as Xu Huaishan expected, the young Changsun Lue had not taken his double-dealing Duke seriously yet.
He granted Xu Huaishan's sick leave almost without hesitation.
In this way, he could also take away King Luo's supervisory power on the pretext of stabilizing the overall situation.
From now on, the case will be tried by Bai Xingduan, the minister of Dali Temple, and Yushitai will be responsible for supervision.
It seemed like a reasonable thing, but Bai Xingduan was trembling with fear and complaining endlessly.
The forced Changsun Lue sent the Minister of Punishment, Wu Daolv, to preside over the trial with him.
However, Bai Xingduan was still timid: "Your Majesty, even if I preside over the trial together with the six ministers, the weight is not enough!"
"What's not enough? Do you want me to be the judge?"
Bai Xingduan was frightened to tears by Changsun Luedi's roar.
Yi Zhonglun stepped forward to offer advice, "I think this matter is not only a question of weight, but also a matter of whether you dare to die."
Shangguan Yuan had just received twenty canes, and his buttocks were in severe pain.
He finally walked out of the palace, but he didn't expect the emperor to send him back again.
A few drops of cold sweat fell down.
Qianru was worried, but the emperor didn't tell her, so she couldn't follow him, so she had to wait at the palace gate for Shangguan Yuan to come out.
Not long after, Xu Rongrong was carried out.
The imperial staff is truly well-deserved. With only twenty staffs, Xu Rongrong's buttocks blossomed and her clothes were soaked with blood.
Tsk! It really hurts to look at it!
But he was still very energetic, and his glaring eyes were so bulging that they almost fell out of his head.
When passing by her, he did not forget to threaten, "Wait, I will pay you back tenfold!"
Qianru pretended not to see or hear, her eyes were only looking forward to Shangguan Yuan coming out safely.
While looking at it, I recalled the injury on Xu Rongrong’s butt in my mind.
She also received twenty canes a few days ago, but she was still able to walk normally. It seemed that the emperor had planned it long ago and intended to be merciful!
Soon, Shangguan Yuan and Yi Zhonglun came out jostling each other.
It seemed that Yi Zhonglun wanted to help Shangguan Yuan, but Shangguan Yuan didn't want to pay attention.
Didn’t we just have a fight?
What's the cause of this trouble?
Qianru leaned over to help Shangguan Yuan, but Yi Zhonglun stared at the injury on her neck as if looking at his wife.
"You have to use some good medicine, otherwise it may leave scars."
How unbecoming is this? Qianru quickly avoided Yi Zhonglun's sight and hurriedly dragged Shangguan Yuan into the car.
Unexpectedly, the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion followed them all the way to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as they got off the car, Yi Zhonglun also got off the car and walked into the door without ceremony.
What kind of revenge tactic is this?
Qianru panicked for a while.
After a while, I learned from Shangguan Yuan that the emperor asked Shangguan Yuan and Yi Zhonglun to assist Dali Temple in trying the case of King Gui.
So, Yi Zhonglun used this matter to get entangled.
"Why is he like this? Can't we go to the official office to discuss official matters?"
"He is a very difficult person and has many evil ideas. If you don't want to see him, just avoid him."
Qianru also wanted to avoid it, but she was afraid that Shangguan Yuan would be plotted by Yi Zhonglun, so she had no choice but to follow him shamelessly.
"Isn't it enough that King Luo and Duke Rong are supervising the trial of this case?"
"Rongguo announced his sick leave, and now he is the chief judge of Dali Temple. Yi Zhonglun and I are the assistant judges, and the Yushitai is the supervisor."
"Can this be done?"
"It's all Yi Zhonglun's idea."
The emperor agreed with Yi Zhonglun's idea. It seemed that the emperor wanted to let Shangguan Yuan escape from it.
Qianru thought this was a good thing, but was afraid that Shangguan Yuan would be rigid and unintelligible.
But then I thought about it, if I was caught seeking selfishness, the Yongzhong Hou Mansion would most likely fall into a place of no return.
The consequences were terrible, so she had no choice but to stop encouraging Shangguan Yuan to pursue his selfish thoughts.
But she didn't instigate him, but Yi Zhonglun couldn't help but want to reach a consensus with Shangguan Yuan on leniency.
He is an associate judge, not the chief judge. Doesn't Yi Zhonglun deliberately encourage others to make mistakes by doing this?
It's tolerable, but it's intolerable.
Just as the maidservants given to her by the queen arrived, she sent a dozen young and beautiful ones to "invite" Yi Zhonglun away.
Unexpectedly, Yi Zhonglun was so thick-skinned that he actually enjoyed her beauty trap and refused to leave.
Not only did he not leave, he also asked Yu Fu to go back to his house and bring all the official documents over. During the trial of King Gui's case, he had to stay at the Yongzhong Hou Mansion.
Angrily, she asked the maids to throw Yi Zhonglun out, but Shangguan Yuan said: "Let him live."
In the final analysis, it was because I didn't hire any guards.
Although I live in the same place as Huwei Camp, all the soldiers in the camp have gone to visit their relatives and have not returned yet.
Now that he is involved in King Gui's case, he will get into trouble if he is not careful, but Yi Zhonglun takes advantage of it.
He is the prime minister and has three thousand private soldiers in his palace.
As long as he gives the order, those soldiers can go to the Hou Mansion and protect Shangguan Yuan and her together.
So angry!
But after weighing the pros and cons, I couldn't refuse.
Qianru had no choice but to take her anger out on Qianer, "It's fine if you want to stay, but you have to pay for room and board first."
"I have good intentions. It is better to reconcile enemies than to marry them. Is your huge Marquis Mansion still short of this little money?" Yi Zhonglun saw that Qianru would not let go, and said, "Then I will let them stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion during the day.
, come back after dinner in the evening."
"No, either pay the money or get out!"
"Okay, then you write me a receipt and I will reimburse the emperor later."
Qianru was not afraid of her eldest grandson making things difficult for her. She collected the money with one hand and handed over the receipt with the other.
In the evening, when An Tai came back from the government office, Qianru told him the matter aggrievedly, "You said there are such scoundrels in the world?"
"Qianru, you have to calm down. How ruthless a person is is not measured by how violent he is when he loses his temper, but by how low he can keep his temper. He is already the prime minister, and to be able to do this, he must have an extraordinary heart.
.Be careful!”
An Tai's words immediately awakened Qianru.
A man wants his face and a tree wants his skin. Yi Zhonglun, who is the prime minister, yet he risked his face to come here and act like a rogue. He must be planning to get a reward tenfold or a hundredfold.
She and Shangguan Yuan had just offended Rong Guo Gong's family, and Rong Guo Gong and his daughter had something against Yi Zhonglun.
However, after Yi Zhonglun left the palace, he moved directly into Yongzhong Hou Mansion without returning to his residence.
This itself is unreasonable.
Be extremely careful!
Thinking, thinking, she sent more maids to Changsunji and his wife, rotating them three times a day to ensure that someone was guarding them at all times.
