The civil servant standing in the hall looked at the King of Shu anxiously, and had to bite the bullet and said,
"Your Highness, there is news from the capital that Xu Tianqi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and four censors have been dismissed and investigated for false accusations!"
What? !
Xia Yunchang stood up suddenly, with an incredible look on his face.
What? !
Xu Ziang and others who were kneeling on the ground were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.
What? !
Chen Ke was stunned. This result was too unexpected.
What? !
Wu Jiutian and others were also shocked. According to their deduction, even if the Chen family did not die,
they would lose a layer of skin. How could there be such a reversal?
Being stared at by everyone, the civil servant who was reporting felt a lot of pressure, and he said tremblingly:
"Your Highness, please allow me to report that last night, Chen Baiwang, accompanied by the King of Qi, entered the palace to meet the emperor.
Half an hour later, the order to investigate Lord Xu was issued. Lord Xu and the four censors who wrote the letter were arrested that night and thrown into prison!"
Xia Yunchang's face was gloomy, and he sat dejectedly in his seat.
In order to help Xu Tianqi to the position of Minister of Rites, Xia Yunchang spent a lot of thought and used a lot of connections.
And the four censors who wrote the letter together were the ones he spent a lot of money to recruit for his own use.
Unexpectedly, they were all involved at once!
King Qi, what does King Qi have to do with it? !
Xia Yunchang roared angrily in his heart. If he guessed correctly, this time, it must be King Qi who tricked him.
No, where is the secret letter?
The reason why he supported Xu Tianqi in writing a letter to denounce the Chen family was because of the existence of the secret letter.
He had seen a copy of the secret letter, which was written by Chen Dayou to a beastman leader, and the letter also revealed some movements of the Great Xia army.
This is solid evidence, and it is 100% written by Chen Dayou.
No matter how foolish your majesty is, he can't ignore this letter, right?
Xia Yunchang didn't care about losing his composure and asked anxiously,
"Where is the secret letter? Hasn't your majesty read the letter?!"
The civil servant said with a bitter face,
"Your Highness, there is news from the palace that Chen Dayou's so-called treason was just the will of the retired emperor. He went on a business trip in the name of business,
but in fact he secretly gathered news about the beast tribe for the retired emperor. All of Chen Dayou's letters of treason are on record in the Secret Service Department and Hidden Dragon Pavilion of the military!"
What ? !
Xia Yunchang was stunned. He never thought that there would be such a twist.
Xu Ziang had already fallen to the ground, crying with snot and tears, and cried aggrievedly,
"Even if the Chen family is innocent, my father doesn't know. I don't know how it can be considered a false accusation!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Yes, ignorance is not a crime. This is how it should be.
Just don't forget that Chen Baiwang went to Beijing to apologize overnight, and I'm afraid he cried bitterly in front of Your Majesty.
In order to appease the Chen family and the group of old people who served the emperor, could His Majesty not be ruthless and deal with Xu Tianqi?
Xu Tianqi's foundation was not stable to begin with, so who else could he deal with if not him?
This time, Xu Tianqi was afraid that he would not be able to keep his official hat.
This is the court, where one can make clouds and rain at the turn of one's hand. Who dares to say that he has won until the last moment?
Wu Jiutian even suspected that the so-called secret letter was deliberately sent to Xu Tianqi by Chen Baiwang.
Xu Tianqi suddenly ascended to a high position, and it was inevitable that he was carried away by his success.
He also wanted to perform well in front of the King of Shu. It is conceivable that when he saw this secret letter, he was so excited and eager.
After Xu Tianqi reported the Chen family, Chen Baiwang almost rushed to the capital on time and staged a self-torture plan in front of His Majesty.
After all, the Chen family is a royal merchant for two generations, and they have made great contributions. Chen Dayou had a close relationship with the emperor during his lifetime.
His Majesty has just ascended the throne and has not yet completely eliminated the power of the retired emperor. How could he not seek justice for Chen Baiwang?
It can be said that from the moment Xu Tianqi received the secret letter, his fate was doomed.
So smart, so smart, these people are really, really none of them are free.
Everyone figured everything out and looked at the dazed Chen Ke, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.
Before the monthly exam, rumors were flying everywhere, saying that the Xu family father and son had achieved a double kill against the Chen family father and son.
Who would have thought that the double kill did happen, but it was the Chen family father and son who killed in return!
Chen Ke stood there dumbfounded, but a warm current surged in his heart.
So many things happened in Meicheng, but his rich father never showed up. Chen Ke was a little bothered in his heart.
But unexpectedly, his father did not show his strength, and with a sudden move, he immediately turned the situation around.
Awesome, you are worthy of being my Chen Ke's father.
Whoever dares to look down on the ancients again, I will slap him to death!
Xia Yunchang, the King of Shu, who was sitting on the main seat, finally came to his senses at this moment and guessed that Chen Baiwang was the mastermind behind this reversal.
Xia Yunchang couldn't help laughing, looking at the civil servant and said,
"What other news do you have? Tell me all at once!"
"Also, there is also,"
the civil servant said cautiously,
"Your Majesty has issued an edict that Chen Ke, the third-generation descendant of the Chen family in Shu, is gentle, respectful, frugal, and diligent in his studies.
He should be a model for scholars. Therefore, the empire grants Chen Ke the title of fifth-class viscount!"
The whole audience was silent.
Zhang Guanyuan opened his mouth slightly and rolled his eyes, almost dropping his eyeballs to the ground.
Chen Ke was also extremely shocked and thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Gentle, respectful, and frugal?
Diligent in study?
And a role model for scholars, are you talking about me?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes, Chen Ke scratched his head. That's right, it should be me.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha."
King Xia Yunchang of Shu suddenly laughed heartily, looked at Chen Ke with praise, and praised,
"Well, very good, nephew, you have brought honor to the children of Shu!"
Regardless of whether you are sincere or not, Chen Ke bowed and said, "I am honored, Your Highness."
The fifth-class viscount, it doesn't sound like a good thing, but it should be considered a noble title, right?
So, I am now a true noble?
He didn't notice that the students kneeling on the ground looked at him with jealous eyes, almost spitting fire.
While spitting fire, Su Yuqing's eyes were a little more burning.
My father was right. He was not in a hurry to ask the Chen family to cancel the engagement.
So nominally, I, Su Yuqing, am still Chen Ke's fiancée!
Although Chen Ke is annoying, he is an upright viscount of the empire after all, and the only third-generation heir of the Chen family. He is much better than Xu Ziang, right?
Xu Ziang has been given the title of handsome man and warm man in vain. What else does he have except being a little sweet-mouthed?
His father has also fallen, and he still owes Chen Ke a lot of debts, which he may never be able to pay off in this lifetime.
In this monthly exam, he actually scored the ninth from the bottom. He is really a show-off with nothing on his body!
No matter how you look at it, Chen Ke is better.
Forget it, I, Su Yuqing, accept my fate and marry Chen Ke!
Su Yuqing thought to herself, and unconsciously moved her position to keep a little distance from Xu Ziang.
Xu Ziang was in a trance. How could he notice the little movements of the girl next to him?
Chen Ke bowed to Wu Jiutian again and said,
"Principal, I have an immature idea. I would like to use the two million taels of silver I won to set up a foundation to specifically support the orphans of the martyrs,
so that their children can also have the opportunity to enter the academy for further study. Let's name the foundation Young Eagle!"
