Chapter 697 Dirty Work

Prime Minister Wang continued with a sneer, "Prince Wu'an was a tyrant all his life, but his death was so miserable that not even his body was intact. His head was chopped off, his clothes were stripped off, and his body was left exposed in the wilderness for several days. It was only discovered after it had rotted and stank."

Wang Jin: “…”

Look, he only knew in the palace that Prince Wu'an was killed. His father, who was recovering in the mansion, knew everything about Prince Wu'an's murder, even such details.

Prime Minister Wang glanced at his son and said, "Your father has been in the court for decades and has a lot of information. You are far behind me, so just practice slowly!"

Wang Jin calmly replied, "Father, you are so well-informed. I admire you. In your opinion, can the emperor guess that the Empress Dowager was behind this?"

Prime Minister Wang sneered, "The emperor is young but very cunning. I'm afraid he had expected the Empress Dowager to take action. He just pretended not to know and went with the flow."

"Look at it now. The annoying Wu'an County Prince and his son are dead, and this hidden danger has been completely eliminated. It has given Jiang Quan and his son a stern warning. The emperor's hands are still clean."

"Such a scheme! Such a method! Hey!"

Wang Jin whispered, "So, the emperor has always respected and praised the Grand Empress Dowager, not just for show. There are also real benefits."

The most difficult and dirty work was done by Empress Dowager Zheng, and it was done neatly. This was a good thing for Jiang Shaohua.

How ridiculous is Empress Dowager Zheng, so arrogant and self-righteous that she doesn't even realize that she's being treated like a rag by Jiang Shaohua!
Prime Minister Wang sneered: "That old woman only has the advantage of status and seniority. If she really fights against the emperor, she is no match for him."

Don't laugh at the Grand Empress Dowager. Father, you are not that strong. You have been in the court for decades, but you are still suppressed by the emperor and can't raise your head.

Wang Jin glanced at Prime Minister Wang but did not say aloud the rebellious words in his heart.

Prime Minister Wang was a little unhappy and glared at him: "Why are you looking at me like that? I was seriously injured on the day of the palace coup and had to retreat. Otherwise, with me here, how could the emperor sit on the throne so easily! And you, a rebellious bastard, have already surrendered to the emperor. You have split the Prime Minister's party into two, and now you don't have the strength and confidence to compete with the emperor."

Wang Jin had been scolded so often in the past few months that he had already learned to ignore it. He responded calmly, "There are only ministers who are loyal to the emperor in the court now. There is no such thing as the prime minister's party or the empress dowager's party."

Prime Minister Wang was choked.

The Prime Minister's Party still exists, and it is indeed divided into two. Most of them follow Wang Jin. However, Wang Jin, this bastard, is the emperor's confidant, so how can the Prime Minister's Party stir up trouble?
As for Minister Zhang, he lacks strength, cannot see the situation clearly, and keeps jumping around, which will lead to his end sooner or later.

The officials of the Grand Empress Dowager Party changed the fastest. They were originally led by the father and son of Anguo Gong. Now Zheng Chen has escaped and no one knows where he is. Anguo Gong has been recuperating at home with the empty title of Minister of War and has not been seen for a long time. His influence in the court is far less than that of Prime Minister Wang. The Grand Empress Dowager Party naturally changed their attitude and became loyal ministers of the emperor.

There are also the former princess party, who are now influential figures in the court, such as Minister Dong, Minister Yang and Minister Ding.

All in all, there is now an unprecedented harmony in the court.

Prime Minister Wang was choked by his son and impatiently drove him away: "Alright, go back to your own yard as soon as possible. Don't make me angry here."

Wang Jin smiled, stood up, bowed and left.

Prime Minister Wang snorted, not wanting to even look at his son. But when Wang Jin carefully closed the door, he relaxed his brows and raised the corners of his mouth.

Is Duke Anguo worthy of being compared with him?

snort!
It would be best if Zheng Chen, that evil creature, died quietly outside. Once there was any news, it would immediately turn into sharp arrows, and the first target would be the Zheng family!
Look at his son. Although he is not filial and obedient enough, he has a pure mind and is walking on a bright and smooth path.

He stretched his hand too far, angered the emperor, and did not benefit Wang Jin at all. Whatever! He would just endure it! Just consider it as paving the way for his son.

……

In the Showa Palace.

Jiang Shaohua finished reviewing all the memorials at midnight.

Chen Sheren brought over some midnight snacks: "Your Majesty has been busy for so long, you must be hungry. I asked the imperial kitchen to make a bowl of noodles."

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said, "You know me best. I am really hungry. I can eat as much as a cow."

She had a big appetite to begin with, and after three months of pregnancy, her appetite became even better. In addition to three meals a day, she also had a snack in the afternoon and a midnight snack at night.

I eat a lot and consume a lot of energy. I have been pregnant for more than six months, but except for my bulging belly and rounder face, there is no obvious change in my body shape.

After eating a big bowl of hot noodles, my stomach was filled and the fatigue from a busy day was slightly relieved.

Chen Jinyu came forward and supported Jiang Shaohua.

Jiang Shaohua laughed: "I can walk very fast and steadily, so I don't need anyone to support me."

Chen Jinyu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to show my loyalty."

Cui Du was cultivating grain in the imperial farm, and it was a busy time, so she couldn't go back to the palace all the time. In her spare time, only Chen Jinyu and Sun Zelan could chat with her.

Chen Jinyu helped Jiang Shaohua into the bedroom. Yin Zhu Tubai immediately came forward and helped the emperor change his dragon robe.

Chen Jinyu obviously wanted to talk to Jiang Shaohua privately today, so she didn't leave and just stayed aside. Jiang Shaohua smiled and glanced over: "Do you want to talk about the murder of Wu'an County Prince?"

Chen Jinyu nodded.

At this moment, there were only four of them in the dormitory. No matter what was said, Yin Zhu Tu Bai would not spread a single word.

"Has the Emperor anticipated that the Empress Dowager would take action?" Chen Jinyu asked in a low voice.

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "Prince Huaiyang also expected it. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in the capital so servilely. He is just seeking a real way to survive."

Prince Wu'an did not have such vision and left the capital full of resentment, and he deserved to become the target of Empress Dowager Zheng.

Chen Jinyu thought about it and smiled quietly, "That's good. The Empress Dowager has let out a sigh of relief. Apart from the future troubles, the Emperor can just pretend he doesn't know."

It's really good to have someone do the dirty work.

Jiang Shaohua did not hide anything in front of Chen Jinyu: "I originally thought that I would kill one to shock the royal family and keep one to preserve the dignity of the royal family. Speaking of which, the Prince of Huaiyang is scheming and cunning, and is more threatening. However, he is really good at seeing things, so it doesn't matter if he keeps them."

As for the Prince of Wu'an, he is dead. There is no point in living for such a domineering prince who bullies the people in his fiefdom and is full of resentment after his title was taken away. (End of this chapter)
