Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 451 Xu Jing Returns
Lun Wenxu now knows what it feels like to be deserted by everyone.

Liang Chu has made it clear that he and Lun Wenxu have severed their relationship as master and disciple, and their relationship has come to an end.

Lun Wenxu had completely lost his biggest support in the officialdom, and there was no possibility of promotion from then on.

His best friend Zhan Ruoshui is now extremely disappointed in him, and the two of them may never be friends again.

The eyes of the Hanlin Academy's elite scholars looking at him became extremely complicated, and most of them were filled with contempt and disdain.

This method is really too mean and shameful. It is understandable that you and Chen Ce don't get along. After all, you are both in the officialdom, and this kind of thing is understandable.

You can also take revenge on Chen Ce, but can you use some decent means? That way, even if you fail, they won't say anything.

But this method of spreading rumors is really disgusting and dirty.

The entire Hanlin Academy was now empty, with only Lun Wenxu sitting blankly on the armchair.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Li Zhen glanced at Lun Wenxu coldly and said, "Master Lun, please don't wander around these days. I will hand this person over to the Ministry of Justice and let the Ministry of Justice judge your fault."

Lun Wenxu was immediately furious and pointed at Li Zhen and asked, "What on earth is Chen Ce going to do?"

"Isn't it enough to humiliate me now? If you were going to hand it over to the Ministry of Justice a long time ago, why did you bring people to the Imperial Academy?!"

Li Zhen said indifferently: "Of course I will ruin your reputation. Didn't our master say that he would ruin your reputation? His words always count."

"I've given you a chance, but you didn't repent and instead became even worse. Now you're questioning what our parents are going to do?"

Lun Wenxu sneered, "What a joke! Chen Ce was dismissed from his post a long time ago. What do you mean by your master? Which government office is he from?"

Li Zhen said, "So you didn't know yet. That's right. Our master is so low-key, how could he let you know?"

"The Admiral of the Internal Investigation Bureau, the Admiral of the Internal Investigation Bureau, can I call him Sir?"

Lun Wenxu was horrified and said in astonishment: "Him? The commander of the inner factory?!"

No wonder he could get the Neichang to do things for him, and no wonder the Jinyiwei had to give face to Chen Ce!
Li Zhen sneered, then left with his hands behind his back, leaving Lun Wenxu sitting alone in the Hanlin Academy, trembling all over.

……

The Ministry of Justice quickly sent someone to call Lun Wenxu over to assist in the investigation.

Chen Ce got married recently, and now there are rumors about Chen Ce that are not good. Emperor Hongzhi takes it very seriously and directly asks the Ministry of Justice to deal with him severely.

After the Ministry of Justice finished reviewing the case, Emperor Hongzhi personally issued an edict to the Ministry of Justice, stating that Lun Wenxu, as a Hanlin staff member, had low moral character and no integrity, and was transferred to Wadao as a county magistrate.

That was not all. Emperor Hongzhi also ordered the Ministry of Rites to report the matter in full to Shuntian Newspaper and use it as the newspaper headline to quell the rumors about Chen Ce in Shuntian Prefecture.

At this point, Lun Wenxu became completely famous. Even if he wanted to refute and confront the Ministry of Justice's decision, he didn't have the courage to do so.

He now only wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible and go to Japan to serve as an official. Even though his future was ruined, he did not want to continue to embarrass himself in Shuntian Prefecture.

Lun Mansion.

Ning Cheng arrived at Lun Wenxu's mansion early. This mansion was originally given to Lun Wenxu by Liang Chu, but Liang Chu had ordered people to take it back yesterday.

Lun Wenxu thought Ning Cheng was here to take him to his residence. Thinking of what he had done to Ning Zhijun, he couldn't help but feel remorseful.

"Father-in-law, I..."

Ning Cheng pressed his hand and said, "Haha, Lord Lun, don't be so anxious to call me father-in-law. I can't bear it."

"I came to you today to give you a divorce agreement. Lord Lun, please sign it."

Lun Wenxu looked at Ning Cheng in astonishment and said in a lost voice: "Father-in-law is also going to add insult to injury?"

Ning Cheng said coldly: "What do you mean I have to add insult to injury?"

"How have you treated my daughter these days? Do you think I don't know? You insulted and abused my daughter wantonly, and I couldn't bear to beat or scold her. In the three months since I married you, you did everything!"

"You are still shamelessly calling me father-in-law?"

"Lun Wenxu, you are unworthy of being a Hanlin official. Your character and morality are so corrupt, you are unworthy of being a human being!"

"Hurry up and sign this divorce agreement!" Lun Wenxu said coldly, "What if I don't sign it?"

Now that his true face had been exposed, Lun Wenxu no longer pretended.

Ning Cheng laughed loudly and said, "Do you really think that with your current character, you can successfully leave the capital?"

"Aren't you afraid of some accidents on the road?"

"you dare!"

Ning Cheng said, "Why not? Lun Wenxu, you are too naive. Do you really think that all officials are kind? Do you really think that everyone is Chen Ce and Chen Chunjian?"

"I am not afraid to tell you that it is Chen Chunjian who does not want to do anything to you, otherwise he would let you die in the capital and nothing would happen to him!"

"Do you think Chen Ce can't do what I can do?"

Lun Wenxu clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves and his face twitched violently.

It is impossible to say that he is not afraid. Although he appears to be very strong in front of others, he is actually very weak inside. Now when he heard Ning Cheng's threat, he immediately became scared.

"I'll sign it!"

Lun Wenxu didn't dare to say anything more to Ning Cheng and signed the divorce agreement immediately.

At this time, people from the Liang family also came over and took back Lun Wenxu's house.

This is what it means to be deserted by everyone!

……

Chen Ce's wedding date is set for the tenth day of June.

Zhu Houzhao said that he would give Chen Ce a house as a wedding venue. After all, the small courtyard in Huaihua Hutong could not accommodate so many people.

But Chen Ce refused.

He had already bought a courtyard for Madam Wu on Zhengyang Street.

On the ninth day of June, Chen Ce had already moved into his house on Zhengyang Street.

Early in the morning, Zhu Houzhao came happily wearing new clothes, accompanied by eunuchs such as Liu Jin, and personally decorated the yard for Chen Ce.

Emperor Hongzhi even directly assigned twenty palace maids from the palace to Chen Ce to serve Chen Ce and his family.

The courtyard was bustling with activity, except for Chen Ce, who was sitting in the middle hall drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

Carriages were parked outside, and a number of high-ranking court officials, including the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Works, and the Vice Minister of Rites, arrived at Chen Ce's courtyard to congratulate him.

The Ministry of Works also brought many craftsmen to move various furniture, all of which were paid for by Minister Xu himself.

Chen Ce hurried to greet several high-ranking officials of the court.

It seems that this wedding banquet cannot be kept low-key even if it wants to.

"teacher!"

A voice came from outside, it was Xu Jing.

Chen Ce was stunned for a long time. Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and started coughing violently.

Xu Jing hurriedly trotted to Chen Ce and said, "Teacher, please don't get up."

Xu Jing's eyes were red, Chen Ce was getting thinner and thinner, and his face was getting uglier and uglier, as if he was about to run out of energy.

Chen Ce shook his head and said softly, "No, it's okay."

"Didn't I tell you not to come back?"

"I am an unfilial student." Xu Jing burst into tears and said, "I have disobeyed the teacher's order. Please punish me, teacher."
