From the very beginning of entering the palace, she is the pawn of the Empress Dowager Yuan, if she is just an ordinary woman, the emperor will not be so disgusted, but whether it is the queen or the concubine, they are all means that the Empress Dowager Yuan wants to use to control the emperor and consolidate her position, how can the emperor not be disgusted?

Now, all the fate of the Zhong family is due to loyalty to the Empress Dowager Yuan, if Concubine Zhen has a long brain, she should understand that instead of kneeling here, it is better to stand in the palace, and in the future, there will be no chance to intercede or take revenge.

Empress Dowager Yuan is an extremely conceited woman, she ruined the Zhong family, she will inevitably feel that protecting the daughter of the Zhong family is a gift now, the concubine will be grateful, and those who are loyal to her in the court are watching, the Zhong family is ruined, if the queen mother can't even tolerate the daughter of the Zhong family, then, the loyalty of those people will also sprout other thoughts.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager Yuan will not touch the concubine, but will protect her.

What to do, Concubine Zhen should understand if she thinks about it.

Concubine Zhen knelt there and couldn't return to her senses for a long time.

Because she has been kneeling for a long time, the sun is shining, she is already delicate, her face is already very bad, and the palace maid who has been kneeling beside her hurriedly said, "Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang's words are not unreasonable, you better go back, your body is important!"

When Concubine Zhen heard this, she nodded, "Help the palace to get up!"

The palace people hurriedly stood up and helped her up, but before she could stand firmly, Concubine Zhen was dizzy, her body was weak, and she collapsed to the ground.

Several palace maids hurriedly helped her and shouted in horror, "Niangniang, Niangniang, wake up......"

Concubine Zhen was carried back to her bedroom.

The affairs of the early dynasty were transmitted back to the Zhangde Palace, and the Empress Dowager Yuan's condition worsened.

Lou Yueqing had a rare free time and took Ling'er out of the house to play.

Lou Yimin left the house early in the morning, and took the upstairs Putuo Nunnery to see Mrs. Ning Guo, and Lin Peiyun also went out to the Fuguo Mansion early in the morning, so there was no one at home.

Take the little girl out of the city early in the morning to play, let the housekeeper look at the house, bring the necessities of life, and plan to go to Zhuangzi to live for a day or two, anyway, there is nothing big in Beijing now.

It's none of her business.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, Rong Zhi was discussing the government with several ministers, except for a few ministers in the palace, there were no palace maids who were waiting, which showed that the matter of discussion was very secret.

Several ministers include Shen Wangye, Qin Youxiang, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the new Dali Siqing, and the Hubu Shangshu.

The atmosphere in the hall was tense and even a little depressing.

Several ministers lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, and Rong Zhi sat behind the table, looking at the note in his hand, this is the note received early this morning, it was sent from Jinzhou quickly, it was Lou Yichen who had not received his order before he received the order 800 miles to send the note, and the report of this incident in Jinzhou.

Looking at the content above, Rong Zhi's face was very bad.

The atmosphere in the entire hall became more and more gloomy, and several ministers held their breath, although they had been standing here for a long time, Rong Zhi didn't say a word, so he let them stand.

Suddenly, something was thrown out of Rong Zhi's hand and smashed on the ground between them.

Several ministers were puzzled, not understanding what this meant.

King Shen was more daring, and asked puzzledly, "Dare to ask the regent, what do you mean by this?"

Rong Zhi's face was not very good, presumably suppressed and not angry, when King Shen asked, he said lightly, "Uncle Wang, take a look!"

King Shen is a generation older than him, so he calls him Uncle Wang.

Hearing this, King Shen bent down and picked up the fold on the ground and opened it to look at it, but slowly, his face became extremely bad.

Qin Youxiang looked at King Shen and couldn't help but wonder, why did the regent have a bad face when he saw it, and King Shen also reflected so much when he saw it?

When King Shen saw the back, his hand holding the song was shaking, his face was full of anger, he raised his eyes to look at Rong Zhi, and said in a deep voice, "Lord Wang, if what Song Shu said is true, the Guo clan should be beheaded all over the house, and it will not be an exaggeration to say that the nine clans are all over the place!"

Privately mining gold mines, forcibly conscripting miners, disregarding people's lives, and attempting to rebel are the major crimes of the nine clans.

Hearing this, several ministers were shocked, what crime did the Guo family commit to beheading all over the house?

Everyone knows that King Shen has inherited the temper of the old prince, and he has moved to justice, everything is subject to the law of the country, what is it that makes the prince feel that he can punish the nine clans?

The great sin of punishing the nine clans is not something that can be arbitrarily convicted.

The Guo family originated in Jinzhou, it is the emperor of Chu State, rich and rival the country, with a very high status, and has an in-law relationship with the Yuan family and the British Prince's Mansion, which affects the whole body, the Guo family is guilty, how to deal with it?

Rong Zhi looked at Lord Shen, then looked at a few people next to him, and said lightly, "You guys take a look too!"

Hearing this, Qin Youxiang was the first to take the fold in the hand of Prince Shen, and when he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more dignified his expression became, and even, his face was pale, and his body trembled slightly.

After reading it, several ministers also watched it one after another, and none of them had a good face.

Rong Zhi looked at them with such a bad face, twisted his eyebrows slightly, and watched them slowly speak, "These are the results of Lou Yichen's investigation in Jinzhou, what do you think?"

Qin Youxiang said in a deep voice, "Lord Qi, if what Ning Guogong played is true, it is not an exaggeration for the Guo family to punish the nine clans, and the local officials colluded with the Guo family's officials and businessmen to cover up their heinous crimes, and they should all be convicted!"

Such a big thing, it is impossible not to be noticed, but no one reported it, and even, in the past year, several officials in the Jinzhou area died violently, but no one reported it, and even all of them were wiped out.

Liu Kanghe, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said in a sonorous tone, "Your Highness, the Guo family, the Yuan family and the Ying Wangfu are all in-laws, such a big matter, I am afraid that the two families are also involved, the ministers are bold, please order a thorough investigation!"

Who here doesn't know the thoughts of those families? What the Guo family is doing, I am afraid that those two families are not inseparable, and it is even possible that they are involved in it, or they are the masterminds.

The mind of the Yuan family is already Sima Zhao's heart.

This time the matter of the Zhong family, they all know, it is just the queen mother's substitute for the ghost, thinking of what the queen mother did, it is really chilling, the Ningguo Mansion is the founding general of the Chu State, has been guarding the frontier, loyal to the king, the queen mother actually thought of such a conspiracy, fortunately was dealt with by the county lord, if the queen mother put her mind on their mansion, it is estimated that it will really be calculated.

But she is the queen mother, unless she has done something that will cause destruction to the country of Chu, it is difficult to convict, this time, isn't it?

When Rong Zhi heard this, he thought about it, and said lightly, "What is the truth, I will hand it over to Uncle Wang to investigate, but the crimes of the Guo family have been exhausted, Liu Kanghe, talk about Chongshan, the case of the Guo family, you two are responsible, and the Guo family are all in prison, waiting for the fate!"

The Guo family can't stay in any case, and whether other people are involved or not, then we have to find evidence to make a decision.

Liu Kanghe, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and today's new Shaoqing of Dali Temple talked about Chongshan, and immediately knelt down to receive the decree when he heard the voice.

Rong Zhi glanced at the Hubu Shangshu and said lightly, "Zhou Shangshu is responsible for counting all the Guo family's property and filling it into the treasury!"

When Zhou Jinfu, the head of the household, heard this, he stepped forward and said, "The minister's order!"

After Rong Zhi finished speaking, he didn't want to talk nonsense, so he immediately spoke, "You guys go back first, Qin Xiang stays!"

didn't tell Qin Youxiang to do things but let him come, naturally there was something.

"Wait for the resignation!"

After everyone retreated, there were only two people left in the hall, Qin Youxiang looked at Rong Zhi and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what His Royal Highness the Regent has to explain?"

Rong Zhi pursed his lips and looked at Qin Youxiang.

……

After a stick of incense, Qin Xiang left the palace.

Rong Zhi sat there leaning on the dragon chair, bowing his head to review the folds.

Ming Shu walked in, "Lord Qiqi, the county lord has just left Beijing, it seems that he went to Zhuangzi outside the city!"

Hearing this, Rong Zhi raised his eyes, "Can you bring someone?"

Shen Shu replied, "Bring a few maids and guards!"

Rong Zhi's face sank, this woman is really confident enough, at this critical juncture, she dared to run to Zhuangzi outside the city, that's all, just bring so many people, she is really not afraid that those people will send a master to take her life?

After thinking about it, he said lightly, "Send Xuanying to protect her!"

Hearing this, she was stunned and a little surprised, Xuanying was rarely in Beijing, and she was only ordered to return to Beijing in the past few days, and she was a little surprised that the prince was calling her back to Beijing at this time, but now she can be regarded as understanding.

The prince only has two female secret guards, both of whom are extremely high in martial arts, but he never let them be by his side to protect him, Xuan Yue was sent to the side of the county lord of Qingning, and Xuan Ying has been working for the prince outside, but he was suddenly recalled, and he thought there was something big......

Seeing that Ming Shu didn't react, Rong Zhi frowned, "Something?"

Shen Shu immediately said, "This is the arrangement!"

"Go ahead!"

Bow your head and dodge away.

After he left, Rong Zhi sat there and continued to review the recitals, but he couldn't calm down no matter what......

The woman......

How did he get into it?

Why did you get into it like that? I can't figure it out......

Picking up the pen, he understated it on the paper in front of him, and then several vigorous and powerful characters were printed on it.

The vermilion ink penetrated the paper and slowly spread.

Lou Yueqing......

Looking at the words on it, he put down the pen and spread out his palm, looked at his palm, and pondered......

Perhaps, it's really time to let go......

The British Prince's Mansion held a funeral for Rong Jingjing, because Rong Jingjing made a mistake and was imprisoned, so she couldn't find any justice when she died, and the fire in the prison was not man-made, it was an accident, so she had to endure it.

The scale of the funeral was extremely small, and only a few people from the family and the Yuan family came to mourn.

The King of England also plans to bury Rong Jingjing tomorrow, although he is angry about Rong Jingjing's matter, but now is not the time for him to seek justice, the distress letter from the Guo family has been delivered, the matter is big, the two families are in-laws, and the British prince is in a hurry, not to mention, this matter, the British King's Mansion is not completely irrelevant.

After all, the British Royal Mansion and the Yuan family are also people who stand on the throne and support the emperor to regain power, so although the British Royal Mansion has not been involved in this matter, it has always been aware of it, and it is not innocent to report it.

Therefore, while white cloths were hung inside and outside the British Palace, the British prince and his son were frowning for the letter from Jinju.

Princess Ying also didn't know how to be good, something happened, but her maiden family, she and Mrs. Yuan are the daughters of the Guo family, although they are married, but if something happens to their mother's family, they can't escape.

Even if she is married to a woman, she is a royal person, whether it is even or beheaded, she will not be implicated, but if she doesn't care, she will not be at peace in this life.

What's more, a woman's biggest reliance is not her mother's family for so many years, although the king of England is not as favored as she was back then, but she also respects each other like a guest, but it is just because the Guo family has too much money.

They were silent for a long time, and they couldn't even care about the grief of losing their daughter, Princess Ying was already sick after losing her beloved daughter overnight, and now she was even more strong so that she was not stunned by the news of the Guo family, but her face was extremely bad, looking at the British prince and asking in a deep voice, "Lord, how is this good?"

This is no small matter.

Illegal gold mining is a big crime full of beheadings, but it also led to the death of many people with forced miners, and it was even found that the dead man's pit was buried, and hundreds of corpses were buried.

Even the officials on the Jinju side suffered.

When the prince suddenly encountered such an accident, his face suddenly turned a lot older, and he said in a deep voice, "This king has no other way, I didn't expect Lou Yichen's kid to find out so quickly, this is also to blame for your brother, who did things so carelessly, and was found out in a few days, and now I am afraid that the regent already knows it, if it is...... I'm afraid that the British Prince's Mansion will also suffer!"

Although he knew about this, the Guo family was too bold to do things, and they didn't even know how to converge.
