Chapter 702

After Lou Zhi Jing fell, the vacant position.

Originally, it wouldn't have been Mao Jie's turn.

But with Prince Cao's full support.

Even without Jia Hui spending money.

Prince Cao spent a lot of money to bribe officials in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue.

Of course.

If it were just Prince Cao.

It wouldn't necessarily be successful.

After all, there were also people from Prince Yu, Prince Chu, and others eyeing this position.

Fortunately, the current Minister of War, Shen Zhui, enforced the law impartially.

And appreciated Mao Jie very much.

And the Emperor was also unwilling to let Prince Yu continue to grow.

He naturally saw that Mao Jie had defected to Prince Cao.

Otherwise, Prince Cao couldn't have been so painstaking.

And Emperor Yongshun was happy to see Prince Cao's power rise.

Because of his suspicion and jealousy.

He did not hope for Prince Yu to continue to grow.

Now the Crown Prince had lost another person from the Ministry of Revenue.

If he let Prince Yu grow again.

Then the balance would be completely lost.

And he wouldn't be able to suppress it!

So Prince Cao's rise was something Emperor Yongshun was happy to see.

Mao Jie was also someone he appreciated.

Therefore, Mao Jie was also promoted to Director of the regular fifth rank as a matter of course.

It's just that.

Mao Jie didn't achieve any merit like Man Chong.

A regular fifth-rank Director was already the limit.

It was impossible to add the title of Reader of the Hanlin Academy.

To this.

Jia Hui was still very satisfied.

On the surface.

This case.

The Crown Prince suffered heavy losses.

Prince Cao benefited.

In reality, Prince Cao didn't gain anything, at most he gained a little reputation.

But he was met with strong hostility from the Crown Prince and Consort Yue, the mother and son!

Prince Yu and the others were also eyeing Prince Cao, extremely vigilant!

Prince Cao became the target of public criticism.

And Man Chong and Mao Jie were actually both Jia Hui's people.

The biggest real winner was therefore actually Jia Hui.

And he didn't pay anything.

He made a fortune!

In addition.

Mei Changsu, this Qilin talent, was also a loser.

The plan he had planned for a long time.

Completely went bankrupt.

He gained nothing, and it disrupted his entire plan.

Because the "Dry Well Corpse" case was the beginning of his full intervention in the court.

Originally, as long as he succeeded, from then on, the Crown Prince's party and Prince Yu's party would fall one after another, a brand new court situation would be brewing, and all the schemes were for the ultimate goal—to avenge the Red Flame Army.

But now everything had come to nothing!

For a period of time after that.

Mei Changsu had no choice but to remain silent and seek another opportunity.

However, Mei Changsu, knowing that his time was running out.

Time was tight.

After a series of blows and the loss of relatives and friends.

He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

And he lacked Dr. Yan's reminders to take medicine and treatment.. 0

He fell ill.

Under these circumstances.

Fortunately, at the critical moment.

Lin Chen, the young master of the Langya Pavilion and Mei Changsu's friend, rushed over.

And temporarily saved Mei Changsu.

"Your condition has worsened; you originally had two years of life, now I'm afraid you only have a little over a year!"

Inside the room.

Looking at Mei Changsu, who was lying on the sickbed and slowly waking up, he heard a voice that seemed to fly from beyond the sky.

His gaze turned to the window.

A man with a slender figure, long hair falling straight down, a very handsome appearance, and long eyebrows reaching into his temples, was shaking a folding fan with incomparable elegance.

This person was his close friend Lin Chen.

A person who could see through the world and had a very fast and sharp mind.

He knew everything in the world, was wild and elegant, loved to joke, was both civil and military, valued love and righteousness, had high medical skills, and gave people a feeling of being unfathomable.

Mei Changsu smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it to be like this."

"I returned here full of confidence, only to find that everything was not going according to my wishes."

"In one year, I'm afraid my plan won't be completed."

He was full of unwillingness and despair.

Seeing him like this.

Lin Chen was silent for a moment.

Since they met.

This was the first time he had seen the other party like this.

He sighed in his heart, and on the surface, he showed a happy smile, using a relaxed tone: "That's not necessarily true!" 1.0

"I don't even know who my opponent is; I am sure I have been targeted and aimed at, but I can't figure out who it is."

Mei Changsu's heart was in a mess.

"I said not necessarily... let me give you a hint!"

Lin Chen said lightly: "Who is not in your original expectations and plans."

"Who is not in my original expectations and plans?"

Mei Changsu was stunned for a second.

He suddenly woke up, sat up from the sickbed, stared at Lin Chen, and finally spat out a name:

"Jia Hui!"

"Could it really be him!" ===== CHAPTER 703 =====
