Wang Chengjue sat in the sedan chair with a dark face and restlessness. From time to time, he looked out the window through the curtains, and his usual calmness disappeared.
Shangguan Rongqin and Gu Qingyin have been missing in Mingjinyuan for a day. This is a big deal. He knew that he could not hide it. He thought that the prophet had met the King of Jiangling and then reported the truth to the emperor. After all, with King of Jiangling, he could only take the title of dereliction of duty.
But he stepped into the imperial study room and saw the emperor playing chess with someone. The man was wearing a brocade purple robe, a brocade ornament, a golden snake wrapped in silk belt around his waist, and his ink hair was tied into his official hat. His face was like a jade, his eyebrows were like a sword, and his eyes were like stars. Seeing him standing at the door of the study room, he glanced at him faintly, and then withdrew his gaze.
Wang Chengjue sweated on his forehead, but when everyone has arrived here, there is no way out. He can only walk in with his teeth, pay tribute to the emperor, and greet Han Jinqing.
Before he could speak, the emperor's slight voice sounded first. My Mingjin Garden has not yet been completed. Who gave you the courage to bring people in private?
Wang Chengjue immediately knelt down and said in panic: I was confused for a moment and asked my subordinates to make such a big mistake, which disturbed the Lord.
The emperor put a white piece on his fingertips, thought for a while before slowly landing on the chessboard, letting him kneel down, and said: Are you here to confess your guilt?
Obedient and listen to the voice. The emperor probably already knew what he was going to report today. How could Wang Chengjue not understand?
If we really talk about it, the Ministry of Works will take people to Mingjinyuan, which has not yet been completed, and there is nothing wrong with this. There is no such precedent before, let alone the inspectors of the Censorate, but now something happens, so we can't talk about it. Wang Chengjue knelt down, thinking, his face became more and more uneasy.
His forehead almost hit the ground paved with black jade, and he calmly said: Lord Shangguan and Lord Gu disappeared in Mingjinyuan. As the Minister of Works, I am naturally unreasonable. The situation is urgent, so I came to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide.
The emperor then turned his face. Because he was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long, his old age was already visible, with swollen eyelids and muddy eyes. Looking at the minister kneeling in front of him, he said coldly: The two imperial officials have been missing in Mingjinyuan for more than a day. As the Minister of Works, you have been delayed until this time to report. Do you know how many variables will be there in a day?!
Wang Chengjue's body trembled, minister, stupid
If the two adults make any mistakes, the blame must be borne by your Ministry of Works. At that time, you, the Minister of Works, don't have to do it anymore! A sharp look appeared on the emperor's old face.
The emperor does not need to be angry. According to the ministers, although the Ministry of Works has the crime of inviting officials to enter the park without authorization and concealing the whole story of the accident, it is now necessary to first dispatch troops to Mingjinyuan to save people, and then determine the crime of the Ministry of Works based on the rescue situation.
Han Jinqing twisted the blackspot on the side and said lightly
The emperor nodded and said hoarsely: Prime Minister Han’s statement is reasonable, and he also told him about this matter early. Otherwise, the entire imperial guards would be in the mountains to train and rectify, and I would not be able to dispatch troops to rescue them in time.
The prime minister is wise and powerful, and it is actually the blessing of the emperor and the court. Wang Chengjue knelt down and said loudly
What else can I ask Han Jinqing to say when I meet him here? The priest of the Ministry of Works has not yet concluded his conviction, so he gave two first
In any case, he had to win opportunities for himself and the Ministry of Works, and then continued: I beg the Lord to give me the opportunity to atone for my sins and temporarily hand over the command of the imperial guards to me. I will do my best.
Master, it would be better to leave this matter to me. My minister and Mr. Shangguan were both the supervisor of the spring training. Han Jinqing's indifferent voice came in before he could finish his speech.
Wang Chengjue was almost biting his teeth. Han Jinqing got involved at this time. This matter really won't be good.
The sedan chair slowly moved forward. Wang Chengjue tried his best to press his temperament, lifted up the curtain again and looked at the figure riding on the horse in front of him, and hated himself for why he had sat in the sedan chair when he entered the palace. Now he was eager to return to Mingjinyuan in front of Han Jinqing, reminding the officials of the Ministry of Works that were not ready, and could only be like an ant on a hot pan.
There was a small branch of the Imperial Army who arrived at Mingjinyuan almost at the same time, with about fifty people. What surprised Wang Chengjue was that the commander was actually Ji Zhuoyun himself.
