With such a promise from Yu Ruyan, Tang Yunluo had infinite expectations in his heart, as if the mountains on the lake were right in front of him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It didn't take long for Zhao Wenzheng's visit in the palace to have an eyebrow, and Aunt Jing relied on her age and high seniority to have private contact with people in the imperial kitchen. She used the excuse of taking care of Zhao Wenzheng's diet, so no one ever doubted her.

There is a eunuch and an imperial chef in the imperial kitchen, and the eunuch Xiao Guzi often uses Zhao Wenzheng's diet as an excuse to go to Aunt Jing's room, and the conversation between the two is unknown and very suspicious.

The secret investigation found that Xiao Guzi often had bold contact with the imperial chef Li, and every time it was after Aunt Jing met Xiao Guzi. This line is already very obvious, Aunt Jing, Xiao Guzi and Li Daring are people on the same line, through Aunt Jing to collect things about Zhao Wenzheng, Xiao Guzi will send a message to Li Daring, and Li Daring will take the news outside.

The corrupt officials investigated by Xiao Feiqing have been sent to secretly monitor at all times, and if Zhao Wenzheng has an order, he can be arrested immediately.

What's more, Li Shi also found that there are many mansions in the capital and Yongcheng that are very mysterious, and they all belong to a mysterious person. Since the last time Yu Ruyan exposed her whereabouts in the Lin Mansion in the north of the city, the Lin Mansion has been abandoned. But several other mansions began to move from seclusion to activity. According to the people around them, these houses are often visited by guests, but they are very guarded, and almost no one knows the true faces of the people inside.

Li Shi had already informed Zhao Wenzheng of what he had discovered, and Zhao Wenzheng sent the secret guards of the Imperial Forest Army to closely monitor the mansion.

At the same time, Zhao Wenzheng sent Xiao Muzi to add some medicine to Aunt Jing's diet, and Aunt Jing has been seriously ill recently. Zhao Wenzheng ostensibly punished the Tai Hospital and asked the Tai doctors to treat them wholeheartedly, but in fact, he had already explained the judgment of the Tai Hospital, and it was good to do a good job on the surface.

In the mansion in the capital, the old man in black frowned.

"Master, Aunt Jing has been sick recently, and the news in our palace is a little unreasonable."

The old man said: "It's really old, it's useless!" ”

"Master, don't be angry, it's normal to have some minor illnesses when you're old, Zhao Wenzheng has already ordered the hospital to diagnose and treat it well."

The old man said angrily: "Recently, Zhao Wenzheng's kid doesn't know what he's doing, it's mysterious." We didn't make any mistakes, did we? ”

"Probably not. But ......"

"But what?" The old man asked, raising his eyebrows.

"But it seems that the magistrate of Yuxiang County has revealed his whereabouts......"

The old man slapped the table angrily and said, "What?!" ”

"The Master Calms His Anger......"

The old man stood up and scolded: "A group of useless things, how did his whereabouts leak? Can anyone secretly investigate? ”

"Not yet."

The old man said angrily: "It's all a bunch of fools! Be careful lately...... No, stop all activity and brake quietly. ”

"Yes, master."

All parties have been prepared, and the original form of the cicada is about to emerge.

Although Xiao Feiqing still did not catch the conclusive evidence of the cicada, Yu Ruyan insisted on revealing the true face of the cicada in the court, which caught him off guard, so Xiao Feiqing had no choice but to suggest it to Zhao Wenzheng.

Zhao Wenzheng didn't ask who Lingcicada was, but the two cabinet ministers had already said so and nodded in agreement.

"Is there any danger in the court tomorrow?" Zhao Wenzheng asked.

Xiao Feiqing said: "This minister has already thought about it, in order to avoid a dispute in the court tomorrow, the wicked dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, and the minister has already agreed with General Yang to protect him secretly outside the palace." and also notified General Chu Yang to send the Imperial Forest Army to ambush near the Qianyuan Palace. ”

"That's very good." Zhao Wenzheng said, "I can't wait, I want to know the true face of the cicada." ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Your Majesty, Weichen promises that tomorrow in the court, there will be nothing to hide from the cicada." Also, you were assassinated last year when you were not on the throne, do you still have the black stone that was broken at that time? ”

"Keep it." Zhao Wenzheng turned around and took it out of the cabinet and said, "This I have quietly let people check it, it is a unique black mountain jade from the Western Regions, which is extremely rare. It is said that the emperor of Chu loved this black mountain jade and ordered someone to buy a mountain mine. Does this have anything to do with cicadas? ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "Naturally, the Black Mountain Jade is exclusively used by the royal family of the Chu State, if it is found in the Chen State, wouldn't it be ......?"

Zhao Wenzheng interrupted Yu Ruyan's words and said, "I understand. ”

The conversation in the East Warm Pavilion also indicates a bloody storm in the court tomorrow.

The next day, Tang Yunluo deliberately sent Yu Ruyan to the gate of the palace, and opened his mouth several times to speak, but he didn't know where to start. Yu Ruyan saw his thoughts and comforted: "It is the wicked man who is in trouble today, not me. ”

"But no one can predict what will happen in a moment?" Tang Yunluo was still very worried.

Yu Ruyan smiled: "With General Yang and General Chu here, I am safe." Even if you don't believe the two of them, you should trust me, right? ”

"I believe it." Tang Yunluo pulled her hair for Yu Ruyan and said, "Be careful." ”

"Okay." Yu Ruyan nodded, turned around and entered the palace.

Tang Yunluo looked at her departing back, hating that he couldn't be by her side when she was in danger. Luckily, this is the last time. After catching the cicada, Yu Ruyan can retire and go boating on the lake with herself.

Yu Ruyan's figure gradually blurred, or Tang Yunluo's eyes were a little moist, and Tang Yunluo himself didn't know. Seeing Yu Ruyan disappear into the deep palace, Tang Yunluo could only go back to Yunfu with worry and quietly wait for her to come back.

She'll definitely be back.

Yu Ruyan walked into the Qianyuan Palace step by step, just like when she put on the crown dress for the first time and entered the court, her feet were thousands of pounds, and her steps were heavy.

"Going to court."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhongqing is flat."

Today's few sentences seem extraordinarily long.

"Do you have a book?" Zhao Wenzheng asked.

Yu Ruyan came out and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." Recently, the Hanlin Academy has become extravagant, and some scholars have made friends with Jinke Jinshi in private, and there is corruption. In addition, among the six ministries, there are also many officials who have made friends with the newly appointed Jinshi, and they are suspected of forming gangs. ”

"Scholars, please be cautious, when did the Hanlin Academy make friends with Jinshi in private?"

"Yes, no one in our Ministry of Industry will do that."

"Neither do we have in the Ministry of Rites!"

"We don't have it in the Criminal Department!"

Ministers, you seem to be extremely dissatisfied with Yu Ruyan's words.

Zhao Wenzheng didn't know why Yu Ruyan said this, but the words began, and he always had to continue: "I hate corruption the most, haven't you seen it clearly last time I started killing?" ”

"Your Majesty, you can't just judge our crimes based on the one-sided words of the scholars."

Many ministers shouted in the court, all of them were dissatisfied with their own confessions and Yu Ruyan, and after a while, under Zhao Wenzheng's silent gaze, they gradually calmed down.

Zhao Xuanfang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no conclusive evidence for what the scholar said. And I, Chen Guo, have always stipulated that all the Jinshi in the list are protégés of the Son of Heaven, and it is strictly forbidden for ministers to make friends in private. I hope the emperor will be aware of this matter. ”

Yu Ruyan sneered and said, "Prince Zhong, if I say that you are the first and most corrupt in these many corruption cases, you will definitely refute me, right?" ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Xuanfang asked puzzled.

Yu Ruyan glanced at Zhao Xuanfang lightly and said, "Prince Zhong, no, do you think I should call you Prince Zhong, or should I call you Lingcicada?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the hall was silent.

The subtle changes in Zhao Xuanfang's eyes still did not escape Xiao Feiqing's eyes on the side. A few days ago, Yu Ruyan wrote the word "loyalty" on the paper, which made Xiao Feiqing both surprised and unwilling to believe it. At that time, Yu Ruyan already felt that Prince Zhong was the fine cicada sent by the Chu State to the Chen State for many years. Although he had doubted it, he excluded Zhao Xuanfang from the list again and again.

Yu Ruyan's return to the dynasty is his credit, and Zhao Wenzheng's accession to the throne is also a great help, so he was promoted from the loyal Bo Po to the prince. Zhao Xuanfang is not a direct bloodline of the royal family, so the titles are all earls, but because of his integrity, he has always been quite prestigious in the clan and the court. Coupled with the later sealing of the prince's throne, he was even more prosperous. Although Zhao Xuanfang is usually low-key, for various reasons, it seems that he is indeed very feasible.

Because of his high status, he can know about Chen Guo's various policies, and because he has great power, he can act in the anti-corruption case. This loyal prince, who is sanctimonious on weekdays, harms people's lives, exploits the people, and does all kinds of evil.

Yu Ruyan said righteously: "Your Majesty, what the cicada has done in my Chen State is too numerous to write. The floods killed countless people in five state capitals and displaced tens of thousands of people; used He Luoyi to almost harm the mother and son of the six princes and destroy the relationship between Chen and Chu; repeatedly assassinated the emperor and his ministers, intending to cause civil strife in the imperial court; spread unfavorable words to the emperor among the people, damaging the emperor's prestige; Dealing with corruption cases, Ming repaired the plank road to secretly Chen Cang, pocketed the silver obtained by corrupt officials, and found substitutes for dead ghosts from the prisoners of Chen and Chu, so that those officials involved in the case could escape justice. ”
