If it was only like this then it was alright but it was because of Cang Zai Qing that he divorced Chen Rou Qiu and even formed a feud with the Chen family. Now if this was spread out, others would say that he mistook the fish's eyes for pearls. Shen Wan's heart was already faintly regretting it. Cang Zai Qing's belly had his child but he was afraid that his career would be ruined because of Cang Zai Qing. In terms of feelings and power, he still had to value power. Not to mention that the woman who was sleeping beside him was someone else's wife, Shen Wan was unable to let it go.
His eyes were deep in thought for a while and just as he was about to give instructions, he saw one of his attendants rushing in and shouting, "Master, something has happened! Not good! "
Shen Wan frowned and said angrily, "What is the propriety of being so flustered!"
That attendant was trembling as he handed a letter to Shen Wan. One did not know why but his eyes were somewhat evasive.
Shen Wan looked suspiciously at the attendant. This attendant was the person who followed him and usually followed him to pass messages to his colleagues.
After looking at two lines, Shen Wan's face suddenly turned green and if one looked carefully, one would be able to detect some fear.
…
In the Imperial Study, Emperor Wen Hui was in a rage.
Emperor Wen Hui sneered as he threw the memorial in his hands onto the ground. The eunuchs beside him did not dare to breathe loudly. When the Emperor was angry, there would be millions of corpses. Especially at this moment, one dared not touch Emperor Wen Hui's bad luck.
The first item on the memorial was a list of things that Shen Wan had done from a few years ago until now. It didn't seem to be a big deal. But Emperor Wen Hui was after all a person who had walked out of the bloody storm that his brothers fought for power. The memorial was written very cleverly but every line described the unusual relationship between Shen Wan and Prince Ding, Fu Xiu Yi.
Among the nine sons of Emperor Wen Hui, the one he was most assured about was the Crown Prince and Prince Ding. The Crown Prince was after all born of an orthodox lineage and his body was weak, thus Emperor Wen Hui would subconsciously be more relaxed with him. Even though Prince Ding was outstanding, he did not care about the matters of the court and in addition Consort Dong Shu had a temperament that did not fight or snatch, this made Emperor Wen Hui feel extremely comfortable. Emperor Wen Hui could see the open and secret fights between the various princes but would not say anything to stop it. As long as they didn't go overboard, he would be happy to see such a situation of mutual checks and balances. Once one touches power, one would not be willing to let it go. Seeing his sons grow up one by one and reaching the age of dragons and tigers, Emperor Wen Hui would also be wary.
What he hated the most was that the princes and the ministers were too close to each other. Although this was an unavoidable fact, for example, his nine sons each had a group of supporters. But when this son became the Prince Ding who did not fight or snatch, Emperor Wen Hui was somewhat unable to accept it. On the contrary, he was even angrier than before.
In the past, Fu Xiu Yi showed that he did as he pleased and did not care about worldly affairs, but now in Emperor Wen Hui's eyes, there was only one word: Act!
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey." Emperor Wen Hui's face was gloomy, "Each and every one of them think that Zhen is easy to fool. Since it is like this, Zhen will fulfill their wish!"
…
The matters of the Imperial Court had always changed in an instant. There were many who went to the Emperor's Hall in the morning and became a farmer in the evening. If they committed a crime and became Tian Sherang, then their luck was pretty good. Most of them ended up in prison, and a knife slit their throats, implicating their entire family.
Shen Wan was such a person.
After the fight between the Shen and Chen family a few days ago, one thought that things had gradually calmed down. Who knew that a group of officials suddenly came to the Shen residence to arrest people. Some curious commoners inquired and heard that it was Shen Wan who did not do his job well in court and implicated the entire Shen residence. The specific charges were not clear and the commoners were easy to coax as they believed that he did not do his job well. But there were smart people who could see that the matter was unusual. One knew that if the task was not done well, then why would the entire Shen residence be destroyed? This was clearly a serious crime that required the execution of the entire family.
