As one of the six thieves in the capital, Li Yan is the general manager, and his status is really extraordinary.

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

A thief who has been criticized by so many people can actually stay safe and sound in the capital, enjoying wealth and wealth, so he must be protected by a protective umbrella.

The protective umbrella is Zhao Ji.

Now that the weather is sunny and Zhao Ji closes his umbrella, Li Yan looks like an ordinary thief.

Looking up at the emperor, Li Yan was filled with humility, "Your Majesty, I know nothing about what happened yesterday. After learning that Liu Xin, a slave, dared to be disrespectful to Mr. Shen, I immediately tied up this slave and brought him to Outside the palace."

Shen Yue felt something strange.

It’s not surprising that a person like Li Yan can take advantage of the situation. There is no problem in finding a domestic slave as a scapegoat. The problem is how did Li Yan choose to surrender so quickly?

It didn't take long after Zhao Ji officially announced his high regard for Shen Yue, but Li Yan seemed to be prepared?

Turning to look at Shen Yue, Li Yan said with a charming smile on his face, "This must be Mr. Shen who is so talented and has a beautiful tree facing the wind?"

Shen Yue glanced at Lin Lingsu.

Lin Lingsu actually shook her head.

Does Lin Lingsu mean that he enlightened Li Yan?

This is normal. Those corrupt officials mostly have a lucky mentality, thinking that they can let their subordinates take the blame and survive. How can the arrogance accumulated in daily life be changed in a day and a half?

But Li Yan got wind of it early? He knew that he would have to confess and be lenient this time?

Shen Yue remained silent.

Li Yan's face changed slightly.

As the general manager of the palace, for him to praise Shen Yue so much was as humble as dust to him, but Shen Yue was actually indifferent?

Zhao Ji finally said, "I wonder how Mr. Shen plans to deal with Liu Xin?"

Shen Yue frowned again, keenly sensing 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 ones Zhao Ji can rely on are these thieves.

This is like people in the world who rely on stimulants. They know that stimulants are bad for them, but without stimulants, they feel empty and helpless.

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 slightly uneasy, naturally worried about Lian Si.

It was not only Liu Xin who was upset, but also Lin Lingsu. Fortunately, Lin Lingsu had been prepared, otherwise he would have been tied up outside the palace right now.

"In order to seek notarization, I invite the parties involved to come here." Zhao Ji waved his hands as he spoke, and a few more people walked in outside Lan Xiuxuan, and they were Chen Dong, Zhao Mingcheng, and Li Qingzhao.

These three people may be eclectic or talented, but when they enter the palace to see the emperor, they are inevitably trembling. They dare not raise their heads and kneel down to salute Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji said calmly, "Get up."

The three of them stood up, not daring to look around.

Zhao Ji flipped through the three copies next to him and said in a deep voice, "These three people are all related to Mr. Shen and have seen the whole story of yesterday's incident. I asked them to record their testimonies. Chen Dong's testimony explained what Mr. Shen was doing at that time. just……"

Chen Dong and the others couldn't help but look to the side, and when they saw Shen Yue, they all looked strange.

They never dreamed that in just one day, Shen Yue would become the Emperor's guest? Would the Emperor treat him differently?

What an honor is this?

How could Shen Yue be so capable?

When Shen Yue didn't reply, Zhao Ji didn't push him and said softly, "Did I hear that Chen Gongshi asked Zhang Tianshi about his destiny?"

Chen Dong was slightly startled and said in a low voice: "I am young and frivolous. I don't know how high the world is. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Zhao Ji said calmly, "It's human nature to want to know fate, so what's the crime?" Gu Chi

Chen Dong felt very peaceful after hearing what Zhao Ji said, and his heart was very agitated.

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

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

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly.

This may not necessarily be a prophecy, but may be the answer Zhang Jixian saw from the heavenly book.

In Shen Yue's view, this prophecy does have the meaning of praising Chen Dong, but it also foreshadows Chen Dong's somewhat tragic ending.

Why?

Immortal is mostly an adjective given to martyrs!

Did Zhang Jixian remind Chen Dong that he would be convicted and die for his loyal words?

"Master Zhang, am I wrong?" Zhao Ji asked slowly.

Zhang Jixian glanced at Shen Yue and said in a deep voice, "The poor Taoist indeed said such words."

Zhao Ji sighed, "When I heard about this, I just laughed it off. But recently, when I looked at Chen Gongshi's words and deeds, and what he did yesterday, I realized that what the Heavenly Master said was indeed shocking and alarming, but it's a pity... I have always been It’s hard to understand the true meaning.”

Everyone in the palace had their own thoughts when they heard what Zhao Ji said, and they couldn't understand what Zhao Ji meant.

Does Zhao Ji praise Chen Dong? Or does he want to turn Chen Dong into a loyal hero?

Zhang Jixian smiled and said, "The ancients said that if they heard the Tao, they would die at night. As long as they wake up, it is never too late."

Li Yan's eyes flashed 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 biased towards Shen Yue, and Chen Dong not long ago submitted a letter to eliminate the Six Thieves.

The loyal advice was naturally rejected before it reached Zhao Ji's ears. Li Yan and Liang Shicheng were in charge of all affairs in the inner palace, so naturally they would not let such advice reach Zhao Ji's eyes.

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

There are loyal ministers and traitorous ministers.

Who is the traitor?

If Li Yan doesn't fight back, he's afraid he won't have a chance to tell the difference.

Zhang Jixian laughed it off without distinguishing, but Chen Dong said: "Then what are you talking about in front of the emperor? Ignoring the suffering in the world, ignoring the imminent crisis, and only talking about singing and dancing to bring peace and praise to the emperor to seduce the emperor?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Li Yan, on the other hand, had a hint of pride and immediately said, "I wonder what Chen Gongshi said? You are just a Gongsheng student. Do you think the behavior of the Holy One should be ordered by you?"

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

Since ancient times, the rhetoric that the emperor broke the law and the common people are equally guilty is all rhetoric. In fact, let alone saying that the emperor committed a crime, even if the emperor's relatives committed a crime, no one would dare to question the crime without the emperor's signal!

All relatives of the emperor have special privileges, let alone the emperor?

Criticizing those around the emperor requires extraordinary courage. Li Yan is tempting Chen Dong to attack the emperor's shortcomings!

The emperor naturally has shortcomings, and everyone has shortcomings.

But the more flawed a person is, the most taboo is for others to mention his shortcomings, especially the emperor!

A person who is always on top will naturally find it difficult to tolerate someone who is always at his feet pointing out his problems.

Chen Dong was silent.

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