Chapter 48 Mission Impossible
After the Lantern Festival, Ye Baiqing's admiration for Xiao Chen was like the water of the Yellow River, overflowing beyond control.
If the imperial concubine is Xiao Chen's little fan, then Ye Baiqing is now Xiao Chen's little fan!
Xiao Chen was very passive and had no choice but to accept him as he yelled affectionately at each other, and then gritted his teeth and threatened him with death.
No matter how you say it, Ye Baiqing is also a talented person, at least there is no problem in being a copywriter in the West Factory.
Moreover, he is also the Imperial Academy handpicked by Emperor Li Wanjiang, with him joining, Xichang's compulsion has been improved several levels at once...
Now that Xiao Chen came out and went in, he was surrounded by several expert guards at all times, the safety was greatly improved, and the ostentation was also there, so when he walked, he was a little bit drifting.
Of course, there may be other reasons, so it is not enough for outsiders, ahem.
Now he is looking forward to something happening in the palace, so that he can train the team well and improve the big guy's ability to handle affairs.
But he didn't expect that the first errand assigned to him by the queen would be extremely difficult...
"What is this?" Xiao Chen came to greet Murong Danqiu that night, and by the way presented the second little invention that he had just successfully developed after crossing over.
It is also epoch-making.
"Hey, my servant was worried when I saw the inconvenience of my mother's menstruation. After thinking about it day and night, I came up with such a thing. Queen, can you give it a try?"
That's right, what Xiao Chen invented was sanitary napkins, as well as several women's products such as tampons.
In order to please the queen, he really did anything!
But the effect is very good.
"What a shame, how did you come up with it?" After Murong Danqiu changed into it, he really didn't feel too good!
"In the final analysis, it is the loyalty of the slave to the empress..." Xiao Chen happily apologized.
"Well, I also know that you are loyal to me, so I need your help with something." Every time Murong Danqiu is so polite to Xiao Chen, it must be something big!
So Xiao Chen immediately had a very bad premonition...
All ears are listening.
"You know that Chen Jisheng was arrested by the emperor, right?"
"Who?" Xiao Chen has been busy building the West Factory for the past few days, and inventing in his spare time, so he didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court.
"Censor of Zuodu, Chen Jisheng, Mr. Chen, because he confronted the emperor face to face, and even spoke rudely, the emperor was furious, beat him with thirty court sticks in public, and sent him to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison."
"Master Chen has been a teacher in my family for several years. He taught me my enlightenment. He is not only upright and talented, but also has the ability to stabilize the country. My father also thinks highly of him, so..."
"So what?" Xiao Chen said in his heart, you won't let me rescue him, will you, dear?
"So, I want you to find a way to rescue him...at least to save his life first." Murong Danqiu really meant that.
No, ma'am, are you kidding me?
The emperor personally broke into the officials of Jinyiwei Zhao Prison, can any of them survive?
Besides, even your empress can't save him, I'm a little eunuch...
I thank you for taking me so seriously! But slaves can't do it.
"This..." Frowning, thinking how to evade?
"Xiao Chen, I really didn't make it difficult for you, but I think you can do this." Murong Danqiu rarely took the initiative to hold Xiao Chen's hand.
Looking at him is also unprecedented tenderness.
"You won't let me down, will you?"
This... means it has to be done!
Besides, how can I let you down?
After returning to his new residence in the Xichang yamen, Xiao Chen frowned and sighed repeatedly.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and others hurriedly asked, why did your lord sigh?
In front of his confidantes, Xiao Chen didn't have to hide anything, he told the big guys about the impossible task that the Queen had entrusted to him.
"Difficult!" Ye Baiqing frowned, "I heard that he not only confronted the emperor face to face, but also said a lot of rebellious things... I heard that the prince of the East Palace was involved, so the emperor was so furious."
"Oh? What did he say about the prince?" Xiao Chen thought to himself, why is it related to the prince?
"He impeached the prince for misbehavior, going in and out of brothels, living a luxurious life, and obstructing the eyesight... That's all, he also said that the prince made friends with the ministers of the court, the generals of the frontier, and even raised a group of thieves in the East Palace. sign!"
"This old man is really serious, he really wants to die?" Xiao Chen grinned when he heard this.
It turned out that it wasn't Li Wanjiang who wanted to kill him, but he wanted to die himself!
"That's why he must die! If the emperor forgives his crime, wouldn't that mean he will be convicted of the prince's crime?" Ye Baiqing's words made sense.
"This matter is difficult to say, but it is not impossible." Zhuge Xiaosheng who had been silent all this time said suddenly.
"Oh? Hurry up and tell me how to do it?" Xiao Chen was overjoyed.
"I think the emperor is currently in a dilemma. He definitely doesn't want to kill Chen Jisheng. After all, Chen Jisheng's reputation as an upright official is well known throughout the world, and the emperor doesn't want to lose the reputation of killing an upright official."
"In addition, Chen Jisheng's impeachment of the crown prince is probably 70% true. The emperor may be half-believing and hesitant now."
"You mean the emperor is suspicious of the prince?" Ye Baiqing heard Zhuge Xiaosheng's implication.
"At least I don't trust him completely. Let's not talk about him at the moment, just say that Chen Jisheng is actually not a capital crime, because he is the censor of the left capital, and he can be rumored. This alone is enough to exonerate him."
"The problem now is that none of the ministers in the court came out to speak for him. Even if the emperor doesn't want to kill him, he still needs a reason, doesn't he?"
"You mean to ask me to go before the emperor to intercede for him?" Xiao Chen frowned, "I'm afraid it won't work, I'm an eunuch, I can't discuss government affairs indiscriminately."
"Brother Xiao, of course you can't do it, but you can find other people. As long as you explain this truth clearly to him, the smart ones will naturally understand." Zhuge Xiaosheng smiled.
"Hmm... Do you think it's okay to talk to Zhu Xiaochuan?" Xiao Chen was the first to think of him, and he was the only important minister in the court who had a little friendship with him.
"Brother Xiao, great advice!" Zhuge Xiaosheng flattered him.
"Don't do this with me, you kid! I think it's not enough for him to be the only one in this matter, and we have to find someone who has weight... how about Wang Anbang?" Once Xiao Chen got his train of thought straight, he suddenly became enlightened.
"Brother Xiao, this is really a good opinion of you!" Zhuge Xiaosheng clapped his hands and applauded.
We all know that Wang Anbang and Chen Jisheng are rivals, and he is also Li Wanjiang's favorite. If he intercedes, it will carry a lot of weight.
As for how to convince this person?
However, Xiao Chen also knew what he wanted, as long as he did what he liked.
What is Master Wang Anbang's favorite thing? Silver!
As long as the money is enough, this person can do anything!
And he's a smart guy too.
Xiao Chen felt that he could take this opportunity to get to know him and be a good friend with him...
