Yan Qingzhou won three yuan in a row and was named the top scholar in Xuande Hall. Naturally, he was proficient in both literary and military strategies.

In contrast, the British Duke's Mansion is becoming increasingly corrupt. This generation of British Duke is a typical example of being reclaimed and abolished. He cannot maintain his hereditary title, which shows his ability.

Of course, Chu Xun is also partial.

Yan Qingzhou was a well-deserved pillar of the country. He was both a civil and military official, and had a deep attainment in both civil and military affairs, and had a high prestige in the Chu Dynasty.

But he also knew that the iron rule of prosperity will lead to decline, and his achievements are beyond the master's power, and he has always avoided the edge.

Such a good minister is really rare in a century, so the emperor's heart has been biased from the beginning.

He had no brother-sister relationship with Chu Ling'er himself. If he had not been due to his mother-son relationship with the Empress Dowager and the need to give a symbolic explanation to the Duke of England, he would not have even raised an army to punish Yan Qingzhou.

What's more, after arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Yan Qingzhou was right every word. Ning Zhiyuan went to the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason to ask for advice, and even walked around in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It was difficult for people not to doubt his intentions.

When did Ning Zhiyuan have such a good relationship with Yan Qingzhou?

Is it because I want to form a clique with Yan Qingzhou?

As a young emperor, Chu Xun was the most resentful person to form cliques among his ministers. When he heard Yan Qingzhou's words, he planted a seed of doubt in his heart and placed his extremely oppressive gaze firmly on the white-haired British Duke.

Poor Duke of England, who has obtained this official position by relying on his father's concealment, has no real talent and knowledge, and he lives in court every day.

Now he was caught off guard against the youngest and most promising chief minister of the Chu Dynasty, and he couldn't explain his son's intentions anyway.

The British Duke thought Chu Xun had already known about the princess, and he kept silent but didn't want to affect the princess' reputation.

What the emperor doesn’t say, how dare he, a minister, speak more?

In the end, not only did he not seek justice for Ning Zhiyuan, but he was even asked to apologize to Yan Qingzhou.

When the British Duke heard Chu Xun's request, he sipped his old blood in his throat and almost didn't vomit it out directly.

What did he hear?

He actually wanted to apologize to Yan Qingzhou, when he insulted his son so much?

The British Duke's old face turned red, and in Chu Xun's deep eyes, he gritted his teeth word by word:

"...I am not good at educating my children... I hope Lord Yan will forgive me."

He almost squeezed out of his teeth, and his expression on his face was very distorted. If his eyes could kill people, Yan Qingzhou would have died many times at this moment.

Yan Qingzhou's eyes remained unchanged, and he accepted the apology from the British Duke calmly. After the British Duke finished saying this, he pursed his thin lips slightly and said with a smile:

"The British public opinion is heavy. It is a good thing for Mr. Ning to study, but he doesn't have too much thought."

This is to say that Ning Zhiyuan is too focused and does not concentrate on reading sages, and even comes to the mansion to ask for teaching and ask questions.

Yan Qingzhou had a deep meaning in his eyes. Although Ning Zhiyuan was wrong this time, was it all Ning Zhiyuan's fault?

No!

Chu Ling'er is the most wrong.

But Chu Ling'er was the legitimate princess of the dynasty, and the time is not yet ripe, so it is not easy to defeat the empress dowager.

Moreover, he guessed that if Chu Ling'er woke up, she would immediately tell the Queen Mother about the news of Shen Ke at the Chief Auxiliary's Mansion.

According to the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Shen Ke, she would come and tell Chu Xun immediately.

The only way to solve all this is to force the British Duke to tell the secret.

The emperor was angry and took Chu Ling'er and the Empress Dowager, and was unwilling to meet with the Empress Dowager.

After all, the Chief Auxiliary Mansion is not a secret place, so it is very far-fetched to go in and investigate this reason.

But when lifting Chu Ling'er out, everything seems very reasonable.

That's why he replied like this.

Upon hearing this, the British Duke choked again.

When he looked up, Chu Xun's brows frowned even tighter.

The Duke of England became anxious when he saw this.

He was already in his sixties, and the title of Duke of England would be passed to his son in time.

Yan Qingzhou spared no effort to slander his son in front of Chu Xun. If his son enters the court in the future, wouldn’t he be even more disliked by the emperor?

The British Duke was anxious, and the pros and cons of the previous head was thrown out of the sky in just a moment.

What royal face, what etc.

The emperor may only know that the princess has gone, but he doesn't know that it was the empress dowager who begged her old Fengjun to allow her, and that her son was also threatened!

I have been struggling in the court for decades, and this life of being angry has long been enough!

"Your Majesty! The dog is really wronged!" Thinking of this, the British man closed his heart and made a fuss and even knelt down.

Yan Qingzhou, who was standing quietly beside him, was cold and arrogant. Seeing this, a smile flashed in his eyes.

But it was too fast and no one noticed it.

"Unforgivable?" Chu Xun mistakenly thought it was the British Duke who was dissatisfied and immediately smiled angrily: "Duke of England, I thought that you had been working hard for decades for the Chu Dynasty to give up this matter. You are so ungrateful. Could it be that you are so confused!"

Chu Xun was quite polite about what he said.

The British Duke was basically a transparent person in the court, just a person standing there to make up for the numbers, and did not contribute to the country at all.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Xun stood on Yan Qingzhou's side without wavering at all.

"Your Majesty, the old minister does not deny the mistake of the dog son, but the dog son is forced to do so!" Although the British Duke was not valued by the emperor, he had never received such serious reprimand.

However, Chu Xun's rage also made him understand the seriousness of this matter, and he dared not hide it in his heart.

"Oh?" Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the British Duke carefully: "Then tell me, what is the secret?"

He has no princes under his knees now, and there is no prince forming cliques.

Could it be that someone with some evil intentions who attempt to subvert the Chu family's territory?

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Chu Xun's eyes.

If this is true, he will not show mercy!

The British Duke was frightened and dared not hide it. He immediately told the emperor everything that the old Fengjun in his family told him.

In order to make the emperor understand Ning Zhiyuan's innocentness, he even took the initiative to add fuel to the fire, shaping Ning Zhiyuan into a helpless image.

He also successfully portrayed the Queen Mother and Chu Ling'er as a person who could do anything to achieve his goal.

Especially Chu Ling'er, as a royal princess, not only did not know how to protect the royal face, but even forced her minister's son to take her to see her lover without the words of a matchmaker.

If this behavior is spread, its reputation will definitely be completely destroyed!

If Chu Xun hadn't known Chu Ling'er's true identity before, he would have protected his sister.

But since he learned that Chu Ling'er was the daughter of a minister, he had no love for Chu Ling'er.

Hearing this, a hint of disgust flashed between his eyebrows and eyes.
