The wife is the king of the palace

Chapter 56 The minister will consider it.

"Apart from that, does the Prime Minister have any other clues?" Xu Lan asked after explaining the situation.

They are all investigating this matter, Jin Qi is, Lin Xu is, and he is too, but so far they have really not investigated much, and even less can be used.

Lin Xu shook his head lightly. He didn't know much about it. Although he may have guessed a little more than Xu Lan and Jin Qi, those were just his guesses, and it would only be foolish to speak out without any real evidence. Misleading the direction of the investigation.

"From this point of view, we can only continue to investigate the court uniform honestly." Xu Lan smiled wryly.

The guard's side can be regarded as a clue, but without knowing the appearance of the other party, the scope of the drawing is too large just because the other party knows the status of the guard's shift.

Although the palace is heavily guarded and the schedule is always very strict, there are quite a few people who know the schedule of the day, at least twenty or so.

Even if they continue to investigate, it can only be used as evidence in the end, and there is nothing to prove at all.

"Be more careful." Lin Xu warned.

Xu Lan is also a smart person, he doesn't need Lin Xuduo to tell him that now that they have managed to catch a clue, the people on the other side will definitely be eager to get rid of this clue, so they must be more careful, in case they still have nothing. After investigation, those people were all dead like the servants who took care of the imperial garden when they were poisoned.

At the end of the topic, Xu Lan looked up at the sunshine outside the house. Now that it is autumn, the sky is not as bright as before when the sun was high and the sun was high. Even in the morning, the sky is still cloudy.

"It's autumn, and I should be busy next time." Xu Lan sighed.

Every autumn and winter is the busiest time for the court, and even Xu Lan, who has always been relatively free, will be extraordinarily busy during this time.

"Isn't it already busy?" Lin Xu said.

Xu Lan, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, can still be lazy, but Lin Xu has already started to get busy. The matter of flood control has been put on the schedule, and the next thing to do is to keep out the cold.

After a while, once the Chinese New Year is approaching, the Ministry of Rites will start preparing for the New Year's sacrifices to ancestors and heaven. As the head of all officials, Lin Xu will naturally not be able to stay out of the matter, and one can imagine how busy it will be.

Xu Lan smiled, "This year has just passed."

Although it's only autumn now, and there are still several months before the Chinese New Year, but when I get busy, I lose the concept of time, and I don't care about feeling these things at that time.

After the words fell, Xu Lan seemed to think of something because of the topic of the Chinese New Year. He looked at Lin Xu with interest, "Recently, many people in the court are discussing the matter of giving the emperor a concubine. What do you think, Mr. Prime Minister?" ?”

Ever since someone mentioned this matter last time, there has been an undercurrent in the court. Many people have even made arrangements and preparations in secret. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, ancestor worship is about to begin, and the topic of adding branches and leaves to the royal blood is natural It was a matter of course that it was brought up again.

After all, this is a big event for Jinqi, and it is also true for all the officials in the court. There is no one in Jinqi's harem now, even if he can't be called queen, as long as someone can be placed by his side, even if it is just an ordinary concubine Concubine, many things will be very different.

If the prince can be born smoothly, the future will be even more limitless.

"What do you think?" Lin Xu asked in confusion.

Xu Lan smiled and continued: "Yesterday, the emperor was furious because of the assassination. It is estimated that no one will dare to talk about it in a short time, but this is not a solution after all, and it won't last long."

Lin Xu, who was still puzzled, stopped talking when he heard the words, but just looked at Xu Lan silently. A smart person like Xu Lan must have seen something about the matter between him and Jin Qi.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xu spoke again, "Let's talk."

If Lin Xu were to choose, he would actually like the current situation a little bit. Jin Qi is the emperor and he is the prime minister.

day.

Seeing that Lin Xu didn't want to say more, Xu Lan didn't force her, so she got up and left.

Xu Lan just left, before Lin Xu had time to stand up, another group of people came in from outside the door, and when they saw Lin Xu, they hurried forward respectfully.

"Your Excellency." The few people who came were officials from the court, and they were all within the third rank.

"What's the matter, everyone?" Lin Xu got up and returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

"Aren't you busy, Prime Minister?" Several people looked around, but the room was empty at the moment.

"Nothing for the time being." Lin Xu's implication was that he could decide whether he had something to be busy or not, depending on what these people were up to.

Perhaps this lukewarm attitude made several people a little embarrassed, but they were already used to Lin Xu's appearance, so they didn't struggle too much, but looked at the leader among them.

That person received the attention of the rest of the people, and stood up, "Actually, the officials and the others are here this time because they have something to discuss with the Prime Minister, and please help the Prime Minister."

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know if the Prime Minister knows about the recent officials in the court who persuaded the emperor to accept his concubine and make him a queen?" the man asked.

Lin Xu's body paused imperceptibly, but there was nothing unusual on his face. Lin Xu had already guessed the purpose of these people, and he looked up at them, "You should go to the emperor about this matter."

"We have already persuaded the emperor, but the emperor has always despised this matter, so we wanted to ask the prime minister to persuade him. This is also for the future of my Dayu. I think the prime minister will not refuse."

"The prime minister has always been clear-headed, and the prime minister has long understood the stakes. We are also concerned about Dayu's country and society."

"The emperor is always willing to listen to the prime minister. If the prime minister speaks to persuade, the emperor will definitely think more about it."

A few people said the words they had already thought up one sentence at a time, and then looked at Lin Xu eagerly, for fear that he would not agree.

Lin Xu glanced at the few people quietly, neither agreed nor refused, "I know about this matter."

"What do you mean, Mr. Prime Minister?" Someone on the side immediately asked eagerly after hearing the words.

Seeing this, the leading man quickly stopped him, not allowing him to continue, "Then let's thank the Prime Minister first."

Lin Xu has always been favored, which is unique in the court. If Lin Xu is willing to persuade, Jin Qi will definitely agree, but they don't want to push Lin Xu into a hurry.

Lin Xu nodded, went to get the information and read it, and was ready to follow up on the matter of the post station.

Seeing this, the few people had no choice but to leave in embarrassment.

After they left, Lin Xu also stopped what he was doing. He glanced at the empty room.

Jin Qi is not young now, just like what Xu Lan said, even if this time is avoided, there will be a next time soon, even if it can be delayed for a year, there is still the next year.

Lin Xu looked down at the information in his hand, and was about to refocus his energy on government affairs, when there were footsteps outside the door, the footsteps were somewhat familiar, and he quickly stood at the door from far to near.

"Come in." Lin Xu said without raising his head.

The chief eunuch who came to convey the message raised his hand that was about to knock on the door and froze in place. After a moment of surprise, he entered the door, "Your Excellency, the emperor is here to invite you."

"Did you say what it is?" Lin Xu quickly browsed the information in his hand.

"No, but it may be related to the previous assassination." The eunuch said.

That incident was very troublesome, and Jin Qi was even more furious last night, but Lin Xu has not yet come forward about this kind of thing, which is a bit abnormal.At this moment, Jin Qi sent someone to look for him, it must be because of this matter.

"I see." Lin Xu said so, but he didn't intend to get up immediately. He didn't collect the materials until he finished reading all the materials in his hand.

When he came to the imperial study, Lin Xu walked to the imperial case after entering the door, "Your majesty."

Jin Qi is wearing a dragon robe, and is reviewing in the imperial study at the moment

Memorial, I don't know what I saw, he threw a bunch of notebooks on the table.

When Lin Xu entered the door, he was throwing the booklets he had only glanced at into the small pile, as if he didn't intend to read more.

"You all go out." Jin Qi waved all the servants back.

When there were only two people left in the room, Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu, "Do you know what Xu Lan investigated?"

"Judging from the current situation, there should be more than one person on the other side, and it is very likely that He Zheng and the others are just small heads." Lin Xudao, it is not He Zhengzhi who can do this in the palace and Jinqi's territory. arrived.

Jin Qi obviously agrees, and he has also vaguely sensed that there should be other people behind this. Knowing that Lin Xu is what he thinks, Jin Qi relaxes a lot, "I heard that Xu Lan has already gone back, why did you delay so much?" How long have you been here?"

"After he left, someone came to ask the minister about something." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi quietly, and before Jin Qi could speak, he said, "Please ask the emperor to persuade the emperor to let the emperor accept the concubine as soon as possible."

Jin Qi didn't expect that Lin Xu would suddenly mention this. There was a moment of irritability in his eyes, but he soon calmed down again.

Recently, many officials in the DPRK have been tirelessly bringing up this matter, and even many of them mentioned it in the folds, which makes Jin Qi very annoyed now.

Jin Qi took a look at Lin Xu, and smiled, "It's not impossible to draft, but there are not many people in this world who I can admire."

Jin Qi changed his voice and pointed at Lin Xu, "However, if the prime minister looks like this, I can consider it. If I like it, maybe I will favor only one person, but it depends on performance."

Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu presumptuously, and the words "how to behave" were clearly written in his playful eyes.

"I will consider it." Lin Xu's face remained unchanged.

"Huh?" The playful smile on Jin Qi's face couldn't hold back, Lin Xu's brain is broken?
