Chapter 424 The people this time are not doing well!
"Have you heard about it?"
"What?"
"The current right prime minister of our Da Rui, Mr. Tan Wenhan, is the reincarnation of the land god in the mountains, who has come to the human world to experience the calamity!"
“Wow!”
Turning around, he said, "Have you heard? Our Da Rui's Prime Minister Tan was a mountain spirit! He was later rescued by the Da Rui royal family and came to the court to repay his gratitude!"
"Wow!"
The passerby was shocked to find that he was holding a shocking secret and must not reveal it casually. Unexpectedly, on the way back, he ran into a friend: "Hey, let me tell you, our current Prime Minister Tan was actually a mountain spirit!"
"Mountain elves?" The friend was surprised. "A fox or something like that?"
"Hmm... about right?"
The friend's eyes lit up: "Oh yeah!!"
The two of them parted ways, and the friend happily continued on to the teahouse.
Today they had an appointment with a few friends to have a small gathering at a teahouse. As soon as they sat down, he excitedly said, "Let me tell you something! I just ran into Brother He on the road, and he told me a shocking secret!"
"What what?"
"Our current Right Prime Minister, Prime Minister Tan! He is actually a vixen!"
"Alas!!"
"puff--"
Behind a few people, Tan Wenhan, who was dressed lightly and casually, just took a sip of tea leisurely, then spat it all out, and then started coughing violently.
What?!
What on earth are these people talking about?!
Isn't this the message he sent people to spread? ! !
…
Jiang Yingcheng is taking a nap.
She had not given up on her "escape" plan in recent days and had not even been able to sleep well. However, every time she was about to leave, she would be caught by her brother, the prince, who came to pick her up, and taken to Chongyun Palace to attend court...
After a few times, a thin layer of shadow gathered under her eyes - sleepiness.
Jiang Tinghuai felt distressed, and was also afraid that she would really run away from home to go to the battlefield to find her handsome father. He had no choice but to keep a close eye on the little girl as if she were a personal pendant, and at the same time ordered people to put up soft couches in the places where she usually stayed, so that the little girl could take a nap at any time.
Jiang Tinghuai withdrew his thoughts and listened attentively to Lu Yao's report.
"There was nowhere to hide in the bamboo forest, and our men could not get too close. We only saw two people from a distance walk out of the wooden house after the maid left, and then disappeared into the city..." Lu Yao paused for a moment, and then said, "They disappeared into Yongqing Lane."
"Perhaps the guards have been too strict these past two days. The people I have arranged inside have not been able to pass on the news. The specific situation will require further investigation..."
Jiang Tinghuai suddenly fell silent, his face looking extremely ugly.
Yongqing Lane, that was the secret base of Prince Xin in the capital that the young man had discovered at the end of the secret passage.
However, the young man had clearly said in his heart that Ding Can, who passed the message to Fang Yiwan, was a subordinate of King Jing. But both King Jing and King Xin were interested in competing for the throne, so how could the two of them get together?
Jiang Tinghuai suddenly felt a headache and raised his hand to press hard on the corner of his forehead a few times.
My admiration for my father reached its peak at this moment.
This is just the minor internal affairs after removing the Ministry of War, which has already made him so exhausted.
"Is there anything else important?"
Lu Yao knew very well that the young prince was under too much pressure as he was new to government affairs, but he didn't have any good solutions.
However...
He could still ease His Highness's nervousness a little.
Lu Yao smiled slightly and pretended to be relaxed: "There is indeed one more thing... It's not too important--"
"What?"
"Rumor has it that Prime Minister Tan, Master Tan—"
[…Grandpa Tan?] A clear and tender voice suddenly sounded from the direction of the back hall.
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Lu Yao: “…”
When did you wake up? Why is there no movement at all?
[Hmm? Why didn't Uncle Lu say anything? ]
Lu Yao closed his eyes: "Master Tan--"
Suddenly, a eunuch walked in quickly and lightly, and whispered something to Eunuch Changshun. Lu Yao also stopped reporting and stood there leisurely.
[What happened? What happened~] Jiang Yingcheng's curiosity was completely aroused by the twists and turns of the process. He unconsciously moved forward a few steps, wanting to see with his own eyes what was happening outside.
At this time, Eunuch Changshun came up to Jiang Tinghuai and said, "Your Highness, Lord Tan said he wants to see you for something important, and he is already waiting outside."
Jiang Tinghuai, who didn't know what was going on, didn't think much about it and nodded casually: "Please invite Master Tan in."
Lu Yao, who had already learned the whole story from his men, said: "..."
Jiang Yingcheng, who personally created this "wrongful case": "..."
[Hmm... Chengcheng seems a little sleepy again! ]
She has to go back and get some sleep!
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Jiang Tinghuai: “???”
A bad premonition suddenly came to his mind, and before he could open his mouth to ask anything, the sound of footsteps began to come from far away at a very fast frequency.
A moment later, Tan Wenhan appeared in everyone's sight.
"Your Highness!" As soon as he appeared, he knelt on the ground with a bang, and said in a miserable voice, "Your Highness, please help me!"
Jiang Tinghuai was startled by him, and hurriedly stood up from his seat and went to help him: "Prime Minister Tan, what is this...?"
Tan Wenhan, who had been holding his head high all his life, suddenly lowered his head and almost burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty——"
"I have no face to face my ancestors, Your Highness—"
Jiang Tinghuai exclaimed in shock: "What is so serious?!"
Tan Wenhan whimpered, his expression sad and angry: "I don't know why there are rumors among the people that Chengchen is a fox spirit in disguise, who has bewitched two generations of kings in succession and is now sitting on the position of right prime minister!!"
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Although this news was a shocking blow to Tan Xiang, but...
Jiang Tinghuai's gaze wandered in the air for a while, and finally seemed to accidentally fall on Tan Xiang's already old face, and his eyes instantly became meaningful.
"Ah, ah this..."
The people of this generation are not doing well...
Tan Xiang has already become like this, isn't it enough to prove his innocence? !
Tan Wenhan: “…”
"Your Highness?"
Are you looking me in the eye when you speak, Your Highness?
Jiang Tinghuai coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment: "This is really too much! Minister Tan, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly and clear your name..."
[Huh?! ]
The young man who hadn't made any noise for a long time suddenly spoke up, and the hearts of the few people in the front hall who could hear his voice skipped a beat.
[Hiss——] Jiang Yingcheng was almost stunned by the evolution of this rumor, [Chengcheng just made up a legend about the reincarnation of a mountain god, how did it turn into a fox spirit?!]
Jiang Tinghuai felt so guilty that he almost kowtowed to Tan Xiang himself to apologize for the boy's rumor-mongering.
It turned out that you were the one who spread it!!
The next moment, the young man's surprised voice rang out again, with a kind of beauty that didn't care about the life or death of his brother, the prince—
【Isn't this right? ! 】
[Where is my sworn brother? Why is there no news about my sworn brother?! ]
「Hmm……」
The people of this generation are not doing well!
Lu Yao: “…”
Jiang Tinghuai: "..."
Tan Wenhan: “…”
