Extreme alert

Chapter 1635
As one of the six thieves in the capital, Li Yan's position is really extraordinary.

It is not easy to live in Chang'an, but it is really difficult to be a thief in the capital.

The thief who was criticized by too many people can be safe and sound in the capital and enjoy the glory and wealth, then he must be covered by a protective umbrella.

The umbrella is Zhao Ji.

Now that the weather is fine, Zhao Ji puts away his umbrella, and Li Yan looks like an ordinary thief.

Looking up at the Son of Heaven, Li Yan was full of humility, "My lord, I really don't know anything about what happened yesterday. After learning that Liu Xin, a slave, dared to disrespect Mr. Shen, I immediately tied up this slave and brought him to the outside the palace."

Shen Yue felt a little strange.

It's not surprising that people like Li Yan meet the wind to make the rudder, and it's not a problem to find a slave as a scapegoat. The problem is-how did Li Yan choose to surrender so quickly?

It hasn't been long since Zhao Ji officially announced his respect for Shen Yue, but Li Yan seems to have been prepared?
Turning to Shen Yue, Li Yan smiled coquettishly and said, "This must be the talented and handsome Shen Young Master?"

Shen Yue glanced at Lin Lingsu.

Lin Lingsu actually shook his head.

What Lin Lingsu meant was—it wasn't Li Yan who he enlightened!

This is also normal. Those corrupt officials mostly have a fluke mentality, thinking that they can let their subordinates take the blame and survive themselves. How can the arrogance accumulated on weekdays be changed in a day and a half?
But Li Yan got wind of it early?You know you have to be frank and lenient this time?

Shen Yue remained silent.

Li Yan's face changed slightly.

As the chief executive, to praise Shen Yue so much, to him, it can be said to be as humble as dust, but Shen Yue is indifferent?
Zhao Ji finally said, "I don't know how Mr. Shen plans to deal with Liu Xin?"

Shen Yue frowned again, keenly feeling Zhao Ji's hesitation.

After all, people have feelings. No matter how the people in the capital talk about the six thieves, Zhao Ji has been with these thieves since he became the emperor. The only thing Zhao Ji can rely on is these thieves.

This is like the people in the world who rely on stimulants. They know that stimulants are not good for them, but when they are free from stimulants, they feel nothingness and no support.

Seeing Shen Yue's silence, Zhao Ji hesitated and said: "Mr. Shen, after learning that Liu Xin offended Mr. Shen, I will naturally deal with this blind slave..."

Lin Lingsu felt a little uneasy, naturally because she was worried about sitting down.

Liu Xin was not the only one who didn't open his eyes, but also Lin Lingsu. Fortunately, Lin Lingsu was prepared, otherwise he might be tied up outside the palace right now.

"For the sake of notarization, I invite the parties to come here." Zhao Ji waved his hands when he spoke, and several people walked in from the Lanxiu Xuan, and they were Chen Dong, Zhao Mingcheng, and Li Qingzhao.

These three people were either eclectic or talented, but when they entered the palace to meet the emperor, they were unavoidably trembling. They didn't dare to raise their heads and knelt down to salute Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji said calmly, "Get up."

The three stood up, not daring to look aside.

Zhao Ji flipped through the three documents next to his hand, and said in a deep voice, "These three people are all related to Mr. Shen, and they also saw the whole story of yesterday's incident. I asked them to record their testimony. Chen Dong's testimony explained Mr. Shen's behavior at that time. just……"

The three of Chen Dong couldn't help but looked to the side, and when they saw Shen Yue, they all had weird expressions.

They never dreamed that Shen Yue would actually become the emperor's guest in just one day?Let the emperor look at it differently?

What kind of glory is this?

How could Shen Yue have such abilities?

Shen Yue didn't reply, Zhao Ji didn't urge him, but said in a soft voice, "I heard Chen Gongshi once asked Zhang Tianshi about his life?"

Chen Dong was slightly stunned, and said in a low voice: "I am young and frivolous, and I don't know the heights of heaven and earth, so please forgive me."

Zhao Ji said calmly, "People want to know their fate, it's their nature, what's the crime?"

Chen Dong heard Zhao Ji's words very peacefully, and his heart was very agitated.

For him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Zhao Ji said again, "I heard Zhang Tianshi once predicted that Chen Dong will be a loyal minister, and his name will be immortal!"

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

This is not necessarily a prophecy, perhaps it is the answer that Zhang Jixian read from the heavenly scriptures.

From Shen Yue's point of view, this prophecy does have the meaning of admiration for Chen Dong, but it also heralds some tragic endings for Chen Dong.

Why?

Immortal is probably an adjective for martyrs!
Did Zhang Jixian remind Chen Dong that he would be sentenced to death for his faithful words?
"Master Zhang, am I wrong?" Zhao Ji asked slowly.

Zhang Jixian took a look at Shen Yue, and said in a deep voice, "Pindao did say such words."

Zhao Ji sighed, "At the beginning I heard about this, but I just laughed it off. But after watching Chen Gongshi's words and deeds and what he did yesterday, I realized that what the Celestial Master said was indeed shocking and alarming. It's a pity...but I always It’s hard to understand the truth.”

Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts when they heard the words, and they couldn't understand what Zhao Ji was saying.

Did Zhao Ji praise Chen Dong?Or do you want to turn Chen Dong into a loyal?

Zhang Jixian said with a smile, "The ancients said - hearing the Tao in the morning, and dying in the evening. As long as you wake up, it's never too late."

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said, "Master Zhang, it seems inappropriate to talk about death in the morning and evening in front of the emperor." He finally started to fight back.

The situation was not good for him.

Chen Dong's testimony was in favor of Shen Yue, and Chen Dong wrote a letter not long ago to get rid of the six thieves.

Naturally, the loyal words were discarded before they reached Zhao Ji's ears. Li Yan and Liang Shicheng were in charge of all the affairs of the inner palace, so naturally they would not let such remonstrances reach Zhao Ji's eyes.

But Li Yan knew that Chen Dong was definitely on the opposite side of Li Yan, and now Zhao Ji kept saying something to prophesy loyal ministers...

Where there are loyal ministers, there are treacherous ministers.

Who is the traitor?

If Li Yan doesn't fight back again, he is afraid that there will be no chance to distinguish.

Zhang Jixian laughed and didn't tell the difference, but Chen Dong said: "Then what are you talking about in front of the emperor? Ignoring the sufferings of the world, ignoring the imminent crisis, and only talking about singing and dancing, and singing praises to deceive the emperor?"

After a word, everyone was silent.

On the contrary, Li Yan had a look of complacency, and immediately said: "I don't know what Chen Gongshi said? You are a mere Gongsheng, so the actions of the Holy One are still ordered by you?"

Zhao Mingcheng showed fear when he heard the words, knowing that this was a trap.

Since ancient times, the words that the emperor violated the law and the common people are the same crimes are all superficial words. In fact, don't say that the emperor broke the law, even if the emperor's relatives violated the law, no one would dare to question the crime without the emperor's signal!
All relatives of the emperor have privileges, let alone the emperor?
To criticize the people around the emperor, you must have extraordinary courage, Li Yan is luring Chen Dong to attack the shortcomings of the emperor!
The emperor naturally has shortcomings, and everyone has shortcomings.

However, most people with more shortcomings are taboo about others mentioning their shortcomings, especially the emperor!

A person who is always on top naturally finds it difficult to tolerate people who are always at his feet pointing out his problems.

Chen Dong was silent.

Zhao Ji squinted his eyes slightly so that no one could see what he was thinking.

After a long time, Chen Dong finally said, "Of course Chen is not qualified to send the Holy Majesty," he suddenly stopped calling himself a humble minister, and it seemed that he had made a difficult decision.
