After Reincarnating, an Evil Consort Only Wants to Torture Scums Chapter 335

Chapter 335 Chapter 335: Praise me or scold me

Zuo Shiwen, who couldn't move, was currently nestling in his office room, gnawing corn bread, and quickly memorizing something with the other hand, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, he raised his head from a pile of paperwork.

"Zuo Langzhong, your servant has something to say to you."

Zuo Shiwen swallowed what was in his mouth, thanked the visitor, got up and walked out.

I was stunned for a moment when I saw a white and tender young man standing at the entrance of the ceremony gate.

This is his servant.

"Why are you pretending to be my boy and looking for me?"

The servant cupped his fists towards Zuo Shiwen, and said: "Lord Zuo calm down, the servant is under the order of my master, please move to the nearby teahouse to catch up on the old days."

"Who is your master?" Zuo Shiwen asked with a frown.

"The Eighth Prince."

Zuo Shiwen: "..."

Can he refuse?

Chu Jinyan wanted to meet Zuo Shiwen, so he had to come quietly, so the teahouse he chose was also a very common one.

The wing room is very simple, and the room on the left and right sides where he is is also booked by him. The sound insulation is not good, and I am afraid that there will be ears on the partition wall.

Sheng Xian guarded the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Zuo Shiwen stood at the door of the wing room, still feeling unreal.

"Lord Zuo, please." Sheng Xian made a gesture of invitation and opened the door for him.

Zuo Shiwen took a deep breath, raised his legs and walked into the wing.

After he entered, Sheng Xian closed the door again.

In front of an ordinary round table, Chu Jinyan sat there casually, with a cup of tea in front of him and several plates of snacks on the table.

"My minister sees His Highness the Eighth Highness."

Zuo Shiwen cupped his hands and saluted Chu Jinyan.

"Your Majesty Zuo, you don't need to be too polite, just sit down." Chu Jinyan raised his hand and said.

The purple robe is embroidered with gold. This thick and extravagant color cannot suppress the boundless nobility that is naturally born on the man. A deep purple girdle is inlaid with gemstones of various colors, shining gorgeously in the sunlight.

An extremely handsome face, a smooth and fair face with sharp edges and corners. Under the sword eyebrows as thick as ink dance, a pair of brilliant galactic eyes are clear yet elegant.

Zuo Shiwen couldn't help sighing in his heart that he was blessed.

"Thank you, Your Highness, I don't know what your Highness is talking to Wei Chen about?"

He is not familiar with the eighth prince at all, it can be said that he is not familiar with all the princes.

Zuo Shiwen didn't think that he would fall into the eyes of any prince one day. After all, his character like a rock is really unpleasant. He has been an official in the court for so many years, and he can't count how many people he has offended. Even his own wife, who has a deep relationship with him, sometimes hates him so much that she grits her teeth.

As for the fact that he is still serving as an official in court, Zuo Shiwen thinks that he is relying on his ability.

No rebuttal accepted.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he is dispensable to others as a doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Otherwise, how come more than ten years have passed, and those who entered the court later than him have been promoted, but he is still standing still?

"Have you heard what happened in the Ministry of Punishment?" Chu Jinyan poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zuo Shiwen.

Zuo Shiwen was so startled that he almost fell off the stool, and hurriedly stood up flattered to take it.

"I heard about it."

Although the incident of being poisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was not known to everyone in the capital, all the officials in the court heard about it.

He is not qualified to go to court, so I don't know how the emperor finally dealt with this matter.

"Do you want the position of Minister of Justice?" Chu Jinyan asked directly.

When Zuo Shiwen heard this, he was stunned.

He stared blankly at Chu Jinyan, forgetting to regain his senses for a moment.

After a while, he found his voice, and looked at Chu Jinyan with a look of horror: "Your Highness, I don't understand what this minister is saying."

"Didn't everyone say that your character is upright like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, why are you pretending to be confused with me again?"

Zuo Shiwen: "..."

So, Your Highness, are you praising me or scolding me?

Zuo Shiwen took a sip of tea and suppressed the shock in his heart.

It wasn't that he wanted to pretend to be confused, but that the Eighth Prince's words were too shocking.

It was as casual as asking him if he wanted to buy Chinese cabbage.

That's the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"Your Highness, although Lord Cui made a mistake, the emperor has not yet punished him." Zuo Shiwen said, trembling his lips.

Chu Jinyan smiled casually: "As long as he makes a mistake, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will never fall into his hands again. Mr. Zuo, I heard that you have a lot of experience in legal punishment and prison, so you don't want to go to the next level?"

Zuo Shiwen stared blankly at Chu Jinyan.

The eighth prince didn't just talk casually.

But why choose him?

"Your Highness, the humble minister has no power or power in the court. If you choose the humble minister, this move may be wrong."

Zuo Shiwen bowed his head and said.

Punishment Department, of course he wants to join.

But as soon as he accepted this, he joined the camp of the Eighth Prince. From then on, he couldn't help himself, and he became the Eighth Prince and lost the Eighth Prince.

Chu Jinyan sighed quietly: "Oh, who said no, but who told someone to recommend you, even if it was a wrong move, I will admit it."

Zuo Shiwen: "..."

Why does His Highness not play cards according to common sense?

Without waiting for Zuo Shiwen to speak, Chu Jinyan suddenly said seriously: "Master Zuo, I have already handed over the memorial to recommend you to be Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I believe there will be an official document issued in the near future. Me, how about this? Before I become the crown prince, you will continue to be a pure minister. Once I am established as the crown prince, you will have no choice. I will sit on the throne safely, and you will be an important minister. I will be dragged down Go down...then you can do it yourself."

"what?"

Zuo Shiwen was stunned by Chu Jinyan's series of operations.

The Eighth Prince asked him to sit in the Ministry of Punishment, but he didn't ask him to do anything. Instead, when the Eighth Prince became a prince, he leaned over.

"This... this humble minister is taking advantage of His Highness, isn't it good."

"Then why don't you show your loyalty to me now?" Chu Jinyan said expressionlessly.

Zuo Shiwen looked troubled: "Your Highness, my humble minister..."

As soon as he spoke, Chu Jinyan stretched out his hand and interrupted him: "I don't mind being taken advantage of, what's wrong with you taking advantage, I just ask you a word, Ministry of Criminal Justice, do you want it?"

Do you want?

Yes!

He is stubborn, but not stupid.

This is obviously an opportunity that is beneficial to him and can go further. It would be a fool not to seize it.

Zuo Shiwen stood up, and made a deep bow to Chu Jinyan: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this opportunity."

Although he took over the Ministry of Punishment, before the Eighth Prince became a crown prince, he might not be able to be a pure minister, but the Eighth Prince expressed that he would follow his will, and this respect was even more precious to Zuo Shiwen.

But what surprised Zuo Shiwen even more was Chu Jinyan's handling style.

He said that by letting himself be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he can be sure that the emperor will agree to the submitted memorial.

Knowing that the emperor loves the eighth prince, but he doesn't know that he loves to such an extent that the emperor agrees to use whomever the eighth prince wants to use.

Based on this love, if he can't sit on the crown prince, unless he is too stupid and can't afford to support him, but so far, it seems that the eighth prince is not.
