"Master Zhou must have had a hard time during this period."
Zhou Mingzun quickly replied: "I am ashamed. If I could have found out the truth about the missing person case earlier, I could have saved more people."
"Master Zhou, I hope you can always remember what I said today."
Zhou Mingzun looked at Su Chenyu with some doubts. Su Chenyu explained, "Master Zhou, what you are thinking about at this moment is the people. I hope you can learn from Chen Hechuan's experience and always remember your original intention, so that you can shoulder your responsibilities."
Shen Hechuan was arrested and the post of prefect of Xiangyang became vacant. Su Chenyu was going to promote Zhou Mingzun to be the prefect of Xiangyang.
Zhou Mingzun immediately knelt down. Facing such a master who could distinguish right from wrong, he was convinced and replied very seriously: "I will definitely live up to your trust!"
After Zhou Mingzun left, Baili Yanqing asked, "Your Majesty, would you be willing to appoint Zhou Mingzun as the governor of Xiangyang?"
"Of course Father will not agree. It all depends on how Jian Suining writes it."
"You want to support Jian Suining?"
"Father wants to control Jian Suining simply because he is weak. As long as Jian Suining can form his own faction, Father will not be able to control him!"
At this time, Su Chenyu had not yet realized that she had begun to think about undermining the power of Emperor Wei Jing, but Baili Yanqing discovered it.
But Baili Yanqing did not remind Su Chenyu that if Emperor Jing of Wei became a puppet emperor, it would be a trivial matter for them.
By the time Jian Suining's memorial was delivered to the desk of Emperor Jing of Wei, the incident of the "Xiaozang Case" had become a hot topic among the people, and people were praising Su Chenyu, Baili Yanqing and Jian Suining.
When Emperor Jing of Wei read Jian Suining's memorial, he could not suppress his anger. He was angry at Shen Hechuan as well as Jian Suining and others.
"Jian Suining really did a great job this time."
Cai Quan understood what Emperor Jing of Wei meant. While changing the tea, he said casually, "Your Majesty, there have been a lot of rumors in the palace recently. I'm afraid the situation outside the palace is even worse."
Emperor Jing of Wei took a deep breath. The most important thing at the moment was to appease the people. He read the memorial written by Jian Suining again, which mentioned Zhou Mingzun. If this person could take over as the governor of Xiangyang, he should be able to stabilize the situation in the fastest time.
"Grind!" Emperor Jing of Wei did not hesitate any longer and quickly finished writing the imperial edict.
When handing the imperial edict to Cai Quan, Emperor Jing of Wei asked another question: "Why did Fengyi and her husband also go to Fufeng Town?"
Cai Quan smiled and replied, "I heard that Madam Baili's birthday is coming up, and Princess Fengyi and her husband want to prepare a birthday gift for her, so they chose Fufeng Town. After all, the embroidery in Fufeng Town is really outstanding."
"This old lady Baili is really a formidable figure." Emperor Jing of Wei pursed his lips, somewhat unhappy. This old lady really took herself too seriously. She even dared to let the ruler of a country personally prepare a birthday gift for her.
Cai Quan unknowingly put a veil on Emperor Jing of Wei and withdrew.
Not long after, the imperial edict for Zhou Mingzun to take over as the prefect of Xiangyang was announced. Even Zhou Mingzun did not expect that the imperial edict for promotion would come so soon.
After the palace servant who announced the decree left, Zhou Mingzun subconsciously wanted to thank Su Chenyu, but this time, Su Chenyu stopped him: "Sir Zhou, this time you should thank Prime Minister Jian. If Prime Minister Jian had not praised you so much in the memorial, I'm afraid the emperor's decree would not have come so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingzun immediately said to Jian Suining: "Prime Minister Jian's kindness will never be forgotten."
From then on, Zhou Mingzun could only stand on Jian Suining's side, but Zhou Mingzun believed that his choice this time would not be wrong!
