Chapter 451: Joint Governance
"How did Lord Jiang know this, even though I didn't know it?"
"In that case, Lord Jiang has more than just a close relationship with the Guiyuan Sect."
Jiang Chongfan never expected that Gu Jingchun would know all this, and he was suddenly panicked for a moment.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"My Jiang family is upright and honest. How could we have any connection with a sect as shameful as Guiyuan Sect?"
"Am I talking nonsense?"
"I just happened to have captured a man from Guiyuan Sect. How about you confront him first, Lord Jiang?"
"presumptuous!"
Jiang Chongfan shouted angrily.
"I am an official appointed by the imperial court. How can I confront someone just because of a word from you?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan also spoke.
"In that case, I also think it's better to confront each other!"
"Besides, I previously asked Lord Jiang to investigate Jing Chun's assassination. At that time, you swore that it was the Guiyuan Sect's doing, but you still haven't caught the perpetrators. Now is the perfect time for a confrontation."
Jiang Chongfan became even more panicked when he heard this.
He has now completely offended Guiyuan Sect. If he confronts the people from Guiyuan Sect, wouldn't he be handing his own handle to himself?
So he refused immediately.
"Your Majesty, my son was injured by Guiyuan Sect. If I were to confront them now, they would surely slander me."
"Therefore, even for the sake of my son, I will not confront the people from Guiyuan Sect."
Gu Jingchun also smiled when he heard this.
"It seems that our Lord Jiang is guilty."
Jiang Chongfan snorted coldly as a response.
This episode also made other ministers start to think.
After all, the events of the past two days were basically led by Jiang Chongfan.
Now, he suddenly discovered that Jiang Chongfan might be related to Guiyuan Sect.
Who wouldn't think too much about this?
So, in an instant, the ministers also began to make their own calculations.
At this time, Shen Hechuan directly shook Gu Jingchun's hand and announced: "I would like to take this opportunity to announce something today."
"As everyone knows, the late Crown Prince was the one who loved the people the most and was quite beloved by the people."
"And now, since Jingchun is the bloodline of the late crown prince, I have decided that after the wedding, I will handle state affairs with Jingchun and govern Dacheng together."
As soon as the news came out, all the ministers looked up instantly.
Jiang Chongfan, in particular, had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
But Chen Hechuan didn't give them this opportunity at all. After the announcement, he no longer cared about their reactions. He directly announced the withdrawal of the court and then pulled Gu Jingchun away.
Gu Jingchun did not expect Chen Hechuan to suddenly announce this news, and he was stunned on the spot.
It was not until she was pulled into the bedroom by Chen Hechuan that she came to her senses.
She looked at Shen Hechuan.
"Why did you say that just now? Do you know that your words will probably make those ministers even more dissatisfied?"
Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
"dissatisfied?"
"Then they're dissatisfied. I think they've been too idle lately, so they keep coming over to meddle in our affairs."
Gu Jingchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Why don't we find something for them to do?"
When Chen Hechuan saw Gu Jingchun's expression, he guessed that she might have already made up her mind, and he immediately became interested.
"So, how can we find something better for them to do?"
Gu Jingchun curled the corners of his mouth.
"Since we are looking for trouble for them, we must defeat them one by one."
The tenth day before Gu Jingchun and Shen Hechuan’s wedding.
This day.
Chen Hechuan had originally prepared himself to confront the ministers again.
However, he did not expect that at the morning court today, except for a few words at the beginning, after which Shen Hechuan thought twice, there was no other intense reaction.
This made Shen Hechuan feel a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but lower his head and carefully look at the ministers below.
It's okay to look at it, but it's scary when you look at it.
At this moment, all the ministers had bruised faces and noses, and some even came with one leg dragging.
This appearance is really too terrifying.
This made Shen Hechuan ask a question.
"My dear ministers, what's going on?"
The ministers looked at Chen Hechuan and immediately felt miserable.
Yesterday, after they returned home from court, everything was normal at first.
Little did they know that after lunch, all the dirty things they had done in secret would be exposed.
If it were just a normal relationship between a man and a woman, it would be fine.
Among them, there was also a minister who was rumored to have a crush on the wife of another minister.
Not only did he get beaten by his own wife, but he was also beaten by the husband of someone else's wife.
Not only that, it was rumored that some ministers actually liked their father's concubine, and were accidentally caught by their father.
This naturally meant another beating.
As for those who are dominated by their wives, there is no need to mention it.
If he said a few more words to the girls in the brothel, it would reach his wife's ears and he would inevitably be chased and beaten.
However, some of those who have a decent private life may encounter bandits for no reason when they go out. Not only will they be robbed, but they will also be beaten.
The worst off one was Jiang Chongfan.
He is already so old and is strict with himself. He has no bad habits and is not interested in women. Moreover, he goes out to study after returning home.
I like to stay in the study and read.
But that day was so tragic that the bookshelf behind him collapsed and fell directly on him.
He was pinned down and hit hard, but fortunately his life was not in danger.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also high-rollers being chased by gamblers, and lustful men being chased by fat girls...
There are endless reasons for various bizarre injuries.
And that’s not all.
This is just physical damage after all.
The most important thing is that family secrets or some shameful secrets will be involved during this period.
It caused conflicts and disputes in the family, making them all very annoyed.
Some were even tormented and couldn't sleep all night.
Today he came to court with dark circles under his eyes.
At this moment, I can hardly open my eyes, so naturally I don’t have the energy I had yesterday.
And when the morning court is over, these ministers will return home and there will be a new round of surprises waiting for them.
After all, they are all officials and the things they have the most are secrets and backyard affairs.
It's so easy to make a home messy.
And so, three days passed.
The ministers were tortured to the point of being worse than death.
At this time, if they haven't discovered any clues yet, it would be abnormal.
Furthermore, during this period of time, the people have been spreading the stories of the late prince.
