"I was full of ambition before I took up my post in Ji County, but it wasn't until I arrived that I realized how difficult it would be. Fortunately, Song Chi helped me achieve what I have today. Please tell me more about it..."
This is the second letter, different from the evidence.
Feng Yuan wrote in great detail, leaving out every detail, from how Song Chi made his mark at the female general's homecoming banquet.
"This boy will surely become a great man in the future and will be the hope of our Qingliu Party. However, he has now offended the Prime Minister and is facing a difficult situation. Teacher, please... protect him even if you have to abandon him."
"Student, Feng Yuan respectfully presents."
"You'd rather risk your own life to protect Song Chi... Do you think so highly of him? Okay, that's exactly what I want."
Lu Taiyuan murmured, picked up the letter and placed it on the oil lamp. The moment it touched the lamp, the letter ignited. He threw it into the copper basin at his feet and watched it turn into ashes.
Then he carefully folded another letter filled with evidence and placed it against his chest.
"Currently, there's no direct evidence that Song Shiwen is behind this... The primary culprit is the Han family of Ji County, and the secondary culprits are the local officials. You should impeach the Prime Minister during the court session... The Prime Minister, feeling guilty, will undoubtedly want to close the case quickly and be eager to get rid of the Han family. As a result, the Han family and the local officials will become his abandoned pawns..."
“This is it.”
Lu Taiyuan pondered the contents of the secret letter.
Of course he knew that given Song Shiwen's current location, these unclear evidences could not do anything to him.
Even if there is irrefutable evidence, he may not be able to be touched.
But he can move his people.
As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. Since we can't touch Song Shiwen, we can touch his forces and subordinates, which will also hurt him.
The clever thing is that if Song Shiwen was really behind it, he would definitely not dare to make a big deal. Even if he did it in secret, it would not be foolproof.
If he continued to send people to investigate, he would definitely be found, and Song Shiwen would definitely stop him. So if he wanted to end this matter quickly, he could only give up the Han family and his control over Ning'an Prefecture.
That's enough!
Lu Taiyuan has been in the officialdom for a long time and knows how to make choices and be content.
His thoughts after reading the evidence were consistent with this. The problem was that he was the second-in-command of the current dynasty, but the suggestion in the secret letter was proposed by Song Chi.
Not only did he find the evidence, he even planned out what to do next...
This boy is truly a monster, luckily he is useful to me.
"Someone come!"
Lu Taiyuan shouted at the door.
"Master." A servant came in immediately.
"Prepare the car immediately. I want to go to Prince Qing's Mansion."
"It's too late now."
"Prepare the car, let's go now!" Lu Taiyuan's tone left no room for refusal.
It’s better to do it sooner rather than later.
He received the secret letter first, which meant he was one step ahead. He wanted to expose it before Song Shiwen could react, and then directly impeach him at the court meeting tomorrow!
However, he still needs to discuss this with His Royal Highness Prince Qing.
A little book boy actually affected the overall situation in the court.
Lu Taiyuan thought about this and walked out of the study. The oil lamp was still on, and a few pieces of thin paper were casually placed on his desk.
Anything that appeared on the deputy assistant's desk must be a major national event. Among them, there was a special one, which was a household registration. The name written in the first column was Song Chi.
It turns out... Song Shiwen already knew there was a Song Pond in Ji County before Feng Yuan sent him the message...
It's late at night.
Song Shiwen had not fallen asleep yet. He had been sleeping very uneasily recently and always had a bad premonition, so he was reading some memorials about state affairs in the study.
He is the prime minister of the dynasty and has to deal with countless government affairs every day, but today he can't even read the memorials!
Old Wu has been away from Beijing for quite some time, but there has been no news from him since then.
This is very abnormal.
Logically, he should have returned earlier. Song Shiwen secretly sent Old Wu back to investigate in detail how serious the situation was and whether it was really a crisis as Han Yu said.
And then there is the matter of dealing with that rebellious son!
Either bring them back or kill them.
This is a very simple task for Old Wu?
Why did it take so long?
Song Shiwen put the memorial down heavily, and the noise startled Song Ming who was sitting opposite him.
In order to teach his son, he asked Song Ming to follow him and see how to handle government affairs.
"Father is still worried about the situation in Ji County. Don't worry... Han Yu has already sent a message. They have intercepted the secret letter sent by Feng Yuan. Since it can't reach the capital, nothing will happen."
Song Ming stood up and went to his father.
"Also, tomorrow the Ministry of Personnel will issue a document transferring Feng Yuan... As long as Feng Yuan leaves Ji County, nothing will go wrong."
"Yeah, nothing will happen."
Song Shiwen said in a low voice, "It took a lot of effort to transfer Feng Yuan away from Ji County. His Royal Highness Prince Qing is putting a lot of resistance. If nothing goes wrong now, there will be trouble in the future. How is this any different from trying to cover up one's mistake?"
"This time, we lost after all."
His face was gloomy.
After receiving several urgent letters from Han Yu, Song Shiwen couldn't help but feel anxious. In order to control the situation, he had to transfer Feng Yuan first.
But in the eyes of others, this is a sign of having something to hide.
Feng Yuan had been in office for less than half a year. He had done nothing wrong during that time and had no reason to be transferred. However, as the Prime Minister, he still forcibly intervened.
Tomorrow, the Ministry of Personnel will issue the document.
This also damaged the reputation of the Prime Minister, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew what he had done, and the affairs of Ji County must not be exposed.
"Han Yu wrote very clearly in the letter that Feng Yuan had no such talent when he first took up his post in Ji County. It was all thanks to Song Chi's assistance. Otherwise, Feng Yuan would have difficulty controlling the county government. And the evidence of his crimes was also found by Song Chi."
Song Ming was throwing dirty water crazily beside him.
