Zhang Qianshu, who has been promoted to cabinet minister and head of the household department, is undoubtedly the person who knows Emperor Chongzhen best at this moment.

Therefore, just by glancing at Emperor Chongzhen sitting on the dragon chair, Zhang Qianshu understood what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking.

Just when the atmosphere in the main hall was becoming more and more depressing because of its solemnity. Zhang Qianshu, who was also kneeling in the main hall, had to get up from the ground and said respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen......

"Your Majesty, Lao Chen has an idea here...... I don't know if it's feasible......"

Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, staring at Zhang Qianshu in front of him, and asked expectantly: "Zhang Aiqing is worthy of being my minister, and he can always give me a solution at a critical moment...... Tell me, what's your solution? If the method is suitable, you will once again make a great contribution to me and the imperial court......"

Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen's pair of hot eyes, Zhang Qianshu hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, this kind of thing, whether it is on the reputation of His Majesty or the reputation of the imperial court, has some very huge impact. Under such circumstances, Lao Chen thought that this kind of thing could only be done in secret. The imperial court could neither issue an edict nor leave any evidence against the imperial court......"

As long as you don't let yourself make an order, it means that you no longer need to worry about the so-called face.

In this way, all kinds of worries and worries in my heart will disappear completely.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Qian's words were finished, the solemn expression on Chongzhen's face disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was covered by a heartfelt smile.

Affirming loudly to Zhang Qianshu: "Zhang Aiqing." Tell us what you think...... I think. This idea of yours is very suitable for the imperial court......"

"Yes. 陛xià...... The minister's idea was that His Majesty would directly send a confidant official to Empress Yi'an, who knew the token representing Her Majesty at a glance, and secretly went to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to find Empress Yi'an, and told Empress Yi'an about the current predicament faced by the imperial court, so as to seek Empress Yi'an's help......"

"In this case. For the imperial court, there are two benefits......"

"Two benefits......" Hearing this, the heat on Chongzhen's face was immediately covered by expectation. Facing Zhang Qianshu, he asked expectantly.

"What's the benefit, tell me quickly, I really want to know what you have to say, what is the mystery."

Zhang Qianshu did not hesitate, and replied directly: "Your Majesty." The first benefit that Lao Chen wants to say is. Even if the imperial court's intention to ask Empress Yi'an for silver is not realized, this matter is only known to us and Empress Yi'an. It will not have the slightest impact on the reputation of the imperial court. ”

The second benefit was just the opposite, Empress Yi'an agreed to the court's request and gave the court silver. In this case, the Shanxi Governor's Mansion will definitely investigate this matter, after all, this matter involves 10 million taels of silver. ”

"However, no matter how much the Shanxi Governor's Mansion investigates this matter, it has nothing to do with the imperial court... Because, in this matter, the imperial court did not leave the slightest evidence against itself. ”

"As for who should be responsible for this matter in the end, the old minister doesn't say, and His Majesty should also be clear..."

"As long as the culprit of this matter is identified as Empress Yi'an by the Shanxi Governor's Office, then Wei Zheng's prestige in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will be hit by an unprecedented huge blow."

"Because, appoint Empress Yi'an as the director of the Education Department of the Governor's Palace, appoint Princess Le'an as the deputy director, and hand over 20 million taels of silver to Empress Yi'an....This series of decisions were all made by Wei Zheng in the face of the opposition of his subordinates, and he forcibly passed Guò and decided..."

Although after this incident, Empress Yi'an will also become a very big victim.

However, in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, whether Empress Yi'an was wronged or not had no way to compare with the stability and future of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after Zhang Qian's words were finished, Emperor Chongzhen replied without thinking: "Good way, really good way... Zhang Aiqing, you are worthy of being my minister of the humerus, and you have solved a big problem for me-......"

"I have decided that this matter will be done according to your ideas....After the next dynasty, I will immediately arrange for my henchmen to secretly go to Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to meet Empress Yi'an."

In the Governor's Mansion of Shanxi, Zhang Yan, who had just been appointed as the director of the Department of Education, did not show the slightest relaxed expression because the New Year was approaching.

In order to fulfill his promise in front of Wei Zheng, he used the shortest time to solve the problem of education shortage in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. Zhang Yan, who has slowly integrated into the role of the director of the Department of Education, directly asked Zhou Shuyuan about the population distribution of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, and with the assistance of Le'an, formulated the construction plan of schools in various places.

He slammed the very complicated number of documents in his hand on the desk in front of him. Princess Le'an's face directly showed a tired expression from the heart.

After rubbing his head that had begun to swell with both hands, he complained to Zhang Yan, who was still serious beside him: "Imperial sister-in-law....I really didn't expect that being an official would be so tired....I really don't know, since being an official is so tired, why are there so many people vying to be an official...."

"It's been a few hours, and I don't even know the distribution of the population of a prefecture. If I hadn't made a guarantee in front of Wei Zheng, I really wouldn't want to be the deputy director of the Department of Education. ”

After putting down the paperwork she was flipping through in her hand, Zhang Yan also rubbed her tired head. After taking a deep breath, he said to Le An in front of him: "Since you have promised Wei Zheng, you must do this well..."

"Think about it, Wei Zheng handed over 20 million taels of silver to us for disposal, how much trust does this have....since Wei Zheng trusts us so much, then we can't let him down, let him look down on us, especially you as your future wife......

Hearing this, Princess Le'an directly showed a smile full of ** on her face.

Without thinking about it, he said to Zhang Yan: "Imperial sister-in-law, don't think that I didn't see it....From Wei Zheng's eyes on you, his attitude towards you." I'm sure this Wei Zheng also likes you very much......"

"Otherwise, this Wei Zheng would not have left you alone in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi...... Every time I face you, I go toe-to-toe with you....On the surface, this Wei Zheng is against you. However, I don't think so....With Wei Zheng's current identity, if he didn't like you, he would never have turned against you again and again. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yan's face also turned red.

After glaring fiercely at Princess Le'an, who was sitting in front of him, with a hint of anger, he retorted loudly: "Le'an, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm your sister-in-law....If outsiders hear it, how can I still live in this world with your imperial sister-in-law, not only that, but it will also have a very big impact on the reputation of the imperial court......"

Seeing that Zhang Yan was already angry, Le An could only keep his mouth shut. Then, with a sullen face, he said: "If you don't say it, you won't say it....but, I'm sure that this Wei Zheng definitely has some ill intentions towards you..."

Just when Zhang Yan was about to say something, a palace maid who she had brought from the palace suddenly walked in. Under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, he said mysteriously.

"Queen, princess, someone from the capital... This is a token brought by someone who came..."

After taking a serious look at the token that was already in her hand, the puzzled expression on Empress Yi'an's face was immediately covered with excitement. looked at Princess Le'an, who was also puzzled by her, and said excitedly.

"Le'an, I know this token... This is the jade pendant that your imperial brother has been wearing on his body....since this person has a jade pendant, it means that this person was sent by your imperial brother....your imperial brother has not forgotten us, otherwise, he would not have secretly sent someone to us..."

"Brother Huang....It's really Brother Huang who sent someone to see us..."Princess Le'an, who was shocked, said to herself.

Then, as if he had suddenly won five million, he exclaimed excitedly: "I just said, with the character of the imperial brother, he will never leave us alone after sending us to the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi..."

"Quick, let someone from the capital come in immediately, I'm going to see him now......"

Just as the palace maid was about to convey the order, Zhang Yan, who had calmed down from the excitement, followed up and ordered: "Wait a minute... When you bring her in, you must not let outsiders know......In addition, arrange some of my own people around the study that I brought from the capital, and this matter must be kept secret..."

"Since your imperial brother sent someone to meet us secretly, it means that your imperial brother has something that cannot be known to outsiders and wants to sue us......"

Princess Le'an was stunned for a moment, and then showed a very admiring expression to Zhang Yan.

"It's still the imperial sister-in-law's thoughtfulness....what are you still doing in a daze, and you will immediately do what the imperial sister-in-law said......"

Under the anxious waiting of the two people, a middle-aged man dressed as an ordinary businessman finally walked up to the two and gave them a big gift.

After seeing the visitor, the last trace of worry on Zhang Yan's face disappeared. With a hint of anticipation, he asked: "You are General Zhang, the imperial guard next to the emperor....you came to see us on the emperor's orders...."

The guard kneeling in front of Empress Yi'an affirmed loudly: "The queen is wise....the last general is the fourth rank of the imperial guard, and he came to see the queen and the princess by order, and brought the emperor's message to the queen and princess..."

After getting the other party's affirmation, before Zhang Yan could speak, Princess Le'an took the lead and shouted: "Sure enough, it was the imperial brother who sent us to see us....Imperial sister-in-law, it seems that the imperial brother has not forgotten us... I'm curious to know what the Imperial Brother has brought to us. ”

After speaking, he directly shifted his gaze to the guard in front of him. With a face full of anticipation, he asked: "Quick, sue me, what did the imperial brother let you say to us, did the imperial brother ask us how to say........."
