The Palace Attendant Censor Wanqi Xie has become famous! And he is very famous!

Some of his words of advice to Emperor Zhao were polished by an unknown close minister, sent to Hu Quan through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then urgently published in the palace bulletin the next day.

According to the above description, when Zheng Yinian returned south, Emperor Zhao believed that he was most likely a spy for the Jin people. However, Yushi Wanqi argued with reason, analyzing everything from the conviction and pardon decrees issued by Emperor Zhao himself to the hearts of the people in the north. He pointed out that Zheng Yinian had made meritorious contributions and no faults in his trip to the south, and the emperor should not doubt him.

As a result, the Emperor Zhao, who was annoyed by Wanqi Yushi, immediately said, "Even if the spy matter is unclear, it can also be called false accusation." Wanqi Yushi took off his hat and proudly replied, "How can false accusation convince the world? How can false accusation rule the world?"

After hearing this, the emperor suddenly came to his senses and stepped forward to hold Wanqi Yushi's hand. He expressed his shame and praised Wanqi Yushi's defense as a model of loyalty.

Regarding this matter, Hu Quan, the editor, could not help but write his own feelings before publishing it in the newspaper. He said that of course, Wanqi Yushi deserved respect, but it should be remembered that this kind of thing happened in the harem, and no one knew about it except for a few imperial attendants. However, the emperor did not care about his own face and took the initiative to let his attendants report the matter to the imperial court to publicize Wanqi Yushi's "loyal minister model", which was also a very generous thing in itself...

In short, as the official bulletin with an increasingly large circulation was issued, Wanqi Kaimo was destined to become famous throughout the country. In fact, when he was riding his donkey home that day, countless people he knew or didn’t know bowed to him in the street, making him feel a little elated and a little frightened... He didn't expect that the emperor had this trick, right?

Of course, Emperor Zhao also received a lot of praise, because since ancient times, the emperor who was willing to accept advice seemed to be the best emperor.

However, apart from them, there was one person who was caught in the crossfire and was so frightened that he lost his soul... Yes, this person was Zheng Yinian, who returned with a loyal heart and a personal letter from the Second Saint and Empress Dowager Ningde.

The former "model of loyal minister" Zheng Yinian, who was full of energy and energy in the past two days, visited old friends everywhere, and even cried and told stories of the North in the homes of several important officials. As soon as the official report came out today, he claimed to be sick that night and refused to leave his old house.

Come to think of it, if it weren't for the stubbornness of Wanqi Yushi, Emperor Zhao would have already regarded him as a Jin spy and "falsely accused him". The emperor's likes and dislikes and intentions were clear, so how could he dare to show his face? Only Wanqi Yushi became a role model, and the emperor admitted his mistakes, so he didn't dare to hide like this... So, his brother Zheng Xiunian, who had just returned from Yangzhou and found a job in the capital, had to continue to travel around to deal with those things for his brother.

Two days later, an official document was delivered to the Chongwenyuan where the capital province and the Privy Council were located, asking Zheng Yinian to explain the documents from the two emperors and the empress dowager. Zheng Xiunian had to bite the bullet and go there on behalf of his brother who had "experienced the hardships of the north for a long time" and was "seriously ill and unable to get out of bed."

This trip will take a whole day.

After dark, Zheng Xiunian, who was about 40 years old, returned to the old house. He was already exhausted, but he forced himself to go straight to see his second brother. After driving away the maid and closing the door, he could not help stamping his feet and said:

"Once the emperor reveals his likes and dislikes towards you, even if there is a stubborn person like Wanqi Yushi, it will not prevent others from targeting you a long time ago!"

"Need I say this? Since ancient times, people like Wanqi Yushi are rare. Most people are those who are devoted to trying to figure out the emperor's intentions."

The person who answered his brother Zheng Xiunian by the candlelight was Zheng Yinian himself. He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. At this moment, he was sitting on the couch, covered with a quilt, but his face was ruddy and his words were smooth. He didn't look like he was seriously ill at all. "I just don't know who is so impatient, regardless of reputation and grudges, to target me now?"

"It was Zhang Jun, the Prime Minister of the Privy Council." Zheng Xiunian sat down on the stool beside the bed, shaking his head more and more. "He almost believed that you were released by the Jin people to negotiate peace... In my opinion, you should not think about becoming an official for a few years."

"How can it be within a few years?" Zheng Yinian also smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to enter the government in this lifetime... In the final analysis, it's not that Zhang Xianggong looks at me coldly, but that the emperor is suspicious of me! And how old is the emperor?"

Zheng Xiunian was silent at the bedside for a while, but suddenly whispered: "Second Brother, tell me the truth, how did you come back? Did you really escape back on your own, or did the Jin people give you a word and let you go?"

Zheng Yinian hugged the quilt around himself and said nothing.

After a while, Zheng Xiunian could not help asking, "We are brothers, can I sell you out... If this kind of thing is really confirmed, do you think I can get away? Or are you in the north, and you actually think that the official's deeds from Huaishang to Yaoshan are all fake?"

"How could it be?" Zheng Yinian saw that he couldn't escape, so he said in a slightly dry voice. "It's just that the people in the north have suffered more than you can imagine, brother. So what can I say if I have the chance to come back this time? Even if the Jin people really told me to stop and not get involved in this matter, can the Jin people still cross the river to testify? I can stay in the old house and be a rich man..."

"That's true, but you have to be careful." Zheng Xiunian's words became dry. How could he not hear that his brother had simply admitted it? Fortunately, this matter was just a false accusation. "But don't think too much, rich man... Our family is a native of Bianjing. During the Jingkang Rebellion, most of our wealth was lost. When we returned from Yangzhou, only some of the businesses we had set up in other places were still profitable..."
