Chapter 825: To Save or Not to Save

The capital city was still not peaceful the next morning. Everyone was paying attention to the palace. No, they were paying attention to the Emperor's reaction. A whole night had passed and everyone was waiting for the result. The real prince or fake one was the biggest event in the royal family since the founding of this dynasty.

At the Zhou family's manor, Zhou Shuren got up early, without even having breakfast, and took his wife to climb the mountain. There were no very high mountains near the manor, and although the road was not particularly easy to walk on, it did not stop the couple from having fun.

They have been in the ancient times for so many years, and even though they just came from the countryside, they are not at ease at all in order to integrate into the ancient times. After Zhou Shuren took the imperial examination, he was even more cautious and did not dare to make a mistake. Until now, although there are still crises everywhere, they have the confidence. Although they are tired, they can also enjoy a relaxed life.

Zhou Shuren stood on the stone platform at the top of the mountain. It was already bright outside. He looked at the sun rising in the distance and said, "I haven't enjoyed life for a long time. The scenery in the distance is so beautiful."

Zhulan looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance and said, "It is indeed beautiful. This is life."

When you go up the mountain and see snakes, you can just forget about them and ignore them.

Zhou Shuren put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "The conditions here don't allow it. If this is really a dream and we still have the chance, I will definitely take you on a trip."

Although Jianyan and others were very far away, Zhou Shuren still spoke vaguely.

Zhulan's heart was moved. It would be great if she could really go back. "If possible."

The two of them sat close to each other, neither of them mentioned the chaos in the capital, and they both enjoyed the tranquility.

In the capital, at the Mansion of Marquis Yao, Yao Wenqi sat in the study waiting for news, sitting motionless. One wrong step leads to another. The Fourth Prince and Zhang Jinghong left the capital, but he did not take it to heart. So what if Jiang Huai found out about the problem? There are problems every year and they are cleaned up every few years, but still nothing has been found.

He was relieved about Jiang Huai's matter, but he was soon slapped in the face and slapped him twice. The fourth prince Zhang Jingxi really touched the vine.

Because he was too far away, by the time he found out, Zhang Jinghong had almost touched the inside.

Nothing can happen to Jianghuai. Every step they take requires a large amount of money. The island has been captured and an important source of money has been lost. If something happens to Jianghuai, the two major sources of money will be completely cut off.

The money was cut off. Haha, without money, he could not move an inch. He had no choice but to follow Shen Yang's move. Fortunately, he had the patience to keep Shen Yang's move.

Hanlin Academy. Shen Yang was a little afraid to enter the Hanlin Academy. He had been expecting someone from the palace to look for him last night, but nothing happened. His heart sank. If he was really a prince, would the emperor refuse to see him?

He still dares to go out now because he hopes that the emperor will go to investigate the truth.

Chang Lian got off the carriage and saw Shen Yang standing at the gate of the Hanlin Academy. He looked away calmly and did not stop. He was about to enter the Hanlin Academy when his sleeve was grabbed. Chang Lian turned around and asked, "Why are you grabbing me?"

Shen Yang let go of his hand awkwardly. He suddenly realized that among all the people he knew, only Zhou Changlian had the best family background. "I, I want to ask, what did Lord Zhou say to you?"

Chang Lian's mouth twitched, "My father is not in the capital, and even if he is, he is just a minister. You asked the wrong person."

After saying that, Chang Lian strode away. He felt that it would be really stupid for him to contact Shen Yang. This was a matter of the royal family, and the Zhou family was just ministers. Although his father was highly valued, he did not have the courage to interfere in the affairs of the royal family!

Shen Yang saw that everyone passing by was looking at him, his face flushed, and he lowered his head as he entered the Hanlin Academy.

The dean had mixed feelings when he saw Shen Yang. He hadn't slept all night last night, and the Hanlin Academy was now in the center of a vortex. He was really afraid that the emperor would be angry and he would be implicated. Seeing Shen Yang lowering his head in fear, he felt a little heart-attacked.

The emperor is a little special to Shen Yang, but if you really want to say who is special, it is still the most special to Rong Chuan. He really doesn't want to believe that Shen Yang is a prince. His temperament and behavior are far from those of the other princes.

Shen Yang entered the room, and the noisy room suddenly became quiet. Everyone returned to their seats, as if they had important work to do.

Shen Yang walked in with his lips pursed, lowered his head and sat down, unable to help but clench his hands.

Inside the palace, the emperor looked at the ministers of the six ministries and the grand scholar and said coldly, "What's wrong with my face?"

The adults in the room lowered their heads instantly, not daring to move.

The emperor snorted and threw the letter in front of Sun Da Ren, the Minister of Justice. "This is the Ministry of Justice that you manage. What have you been doing for the past three years?"

Mr. Sun felt bitter. How come all these things happened at the same time?

Lord Sun quickly confessed his guilt, "I deserve to die."

The emperor frowned and said, "I'm giving you a chance to make amends. If you mess up this time, don't blame me for being merciless."

Sun Da Ren's back was covered in cold sweat. He knew that the emperor was really angry. "Yes, I will definitely not let the emperor down."

The emperor said to Xiao Qing, "The fleet that bought grain will be back soon, so you guys in the Ministry of Revenue should be more cautious."

He got a lot of inspiration from this grain purchase. If he wants to continue this business, he currently only trusts the Ministry of Revenue and feels at ease leaving it to the Ministry of Revenue.

Xiao Qing accepted the order and said, "I obey your order."

The emperor looked at the scholars again, feeling too lazy to look any further, and said, "Alright, all of you go away."

The prince waited until all the adults had left before he spoke: "Father, Shen Yang's identity has been exposed. The more Zhang Jinghong knows about Jiang Huai, the more dangerous he will be. Should we protect him?"

The Emperor looked at the Prince and asked, "Do you think we should save him?"

The prince replied, "I think we should save him. Zhang Jinghong is very aware of current affairs. His goal is very simple: to stay alive. Father has already given him a chance to live. It is better to save him to the end and replace him with a loyal subject. Besides, his identity is always a problem. If you want to punish him, just say a word to father."

Whether it was due to the evil deeds of the previous dynasty or something else, there would always be a knife hanging over Zhang Jinghong's head. In order to stay alive, he could only be more loyal to the royal family.

The emperor patted the prince on the shoulder and was very pleased. He was pleased that the prince recommended Zhang Jinghong and was pleased with the prince's way of employing people. "Yes, I have already arranged it yesterday."

Yao Wenqi wanted to destroy Zhang Jinghong, so he wanted to protect him and protect him well. Yao Wenqi wanted to kill Zhang Jinghong, so they would be mortal enemies. He never worried about having too many knives, but only felt that there were too few knives to use.

At the Zhou family's manor, Zhulan and her husband had just come down from the mountain to have breakfast when Steward Ding came over and said, "Master, Mr. Deng is here."

Because of the mountain climbing, everyone in the room had already had breakfast, and now only Zhulan and her husband were having breakfast.

Zhou Shuren held the bowl and said, "Please come in."

Butler Ding walked out in quick steps. He could actually go back to the capital, as he was the chief butler. However, he did not want to go back. It was the smartest thing to do to stay by the master's side and serve him. He had been away from the capital for many days, and the most important thing for him at the moment was to stay by the master's side and be ready for him at any time.

When Mr. Deng came in, Zhulan had already eaten her fill.
