Fifteen days later, the restoration of the embankment in Hunhe County was completed ahead of schedule, and the king of Han led all the officials of Hunhe County to inspect the embankment, and then rushed back to the northern capital overnight to ask for merit from the imperial court.

Two days later, the King of Han was faintly excited to go to the early dynasty, waiting for Mu Ze's praise and the post of auxiliary minister, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the main hall, he was subdued by Huluduo and put into prison.

Yelu Zongtu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as soon as the King of Han went to Hunhe County for nearly a month, in order to repair the embankment earlier, he couldn't eat during the day and couldn't sleep at night, and finally the task that could be completed in nearly a month was completed within 15 days, and he successfully evacuated nearly 100,000 people around the canal, and also eradicated the robbers who plagued the people.

If the emperor doesn't reward him, why should he put the exhausted Han King, who has just returned, has no time to rest, and is exhausted, to be put in prison?

Treating meritorious ministers like this, isn't the emperor afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people and chill the hearts of all the ministers?

With such rewards and punishments unknown, who will dare to do things for the emperor wholeheartedly and benefit the people from now on?

After the rumors are out, where is the prestige of the emperor? Where is the righteousness? ”

Seeing that King Han was about to be taken down the hall, Yelu Zongtu hurriedly blocked in front of King Han, and said in a sad tone, but he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.

In particular, Yelulai did not return to his house last night, nor did he send someone to tell him where he would stay overnight, which made him feel even more inappropriate.

The other Han king's henchmen also seconded the proposal, and everyone was shocked by what suddenly happened in front of them.

Some ministers with a keen sense of smell have faintly sensed that the first purge after the new emperor ascends the throne is about to begin, which is what the previous emperors must do to stabilize the regime after they ascend the throne, but everyone did not expect that the new emperor would be the first to attack the king of Han.

And for no reason, to attack the King of Han who had just returned from meritorious service, this is simply joking with his own throne.

Mu Ze smiled coldly, the demeanor of a young king has gradually revealed, and said: "Hold it down, the king of the sect is not in a hurry, I will definitely give the king of the sect and the ministers a reasonable explanation."

"The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackeys are cooking, if the emperor wants his brother to die, the brother has to die, but please don't forget that the hundreds of thousands of people in Hunhe County are still waiting for the emperor's relief, the emperor, the emperor ......"

King Han wisely did not mention his grievances at this critical moment, only showed that he wholeheartedly remembered the virtue and benevolence of the people, he knew that he and Mu Ze were destined to have a big war, and everything today has made him realize that the war is about to begin, at this time, he must do everything he can to win people's hearts.

The court has undergone another great change, and everyone's hearts have become extremely uncalm, but at such a critical time, everyone unexpectedly found that the figure of the regent Nalan Bing was missing.

Nalan Bing, long before the early dynasty, went to meet the former Empress Yelu and now the Empress Dowager Dexian.

After the Empress Dowager Dexian succeeded to the throne from Mu Ze, she moved out of the East Palace and lived in Jingchong Palace.

She saw Nalan Bing swaggering into Jingchong Palace, and even saw that she didn't even salute, so she sat aside comfortably, not taking her in her eyes at all, and her beautiful eyes were fiercely cold.

"Being the regent princess has grown in ability, and when she saw the mourning family, she couldn't even salute it, don't you know the way, just by virtue of this mourning family, you can be cured of a big disrespectful crime."

The Queen Mother leaned on her phoenix chair and looked at Nalan Bing.

Nalan Bing smiled lightly, casually fiddled with her weak boneless slender hand, and said slowly: "I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will not have time to deal with the sins of the concubines in the future."

"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother glanced at Nalan Bing and didn't take her words to heart.

"Hasn't the Queen Mother received the news yet? The newly restored embankment of the Han King burst the night before, and Hunhe County suffered countless casualties, and the emperor was furious, and after receiving the news, he sent Mu Keya to Hunhe County overnight to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Just now, Mu Keya came with the news that the reason why the embankment would burst was entirely because the King of Han was so happy that he constantly forced the designer Ban Hui to reduce the construction period that should have been one month regardless of the danger of the embankment.

He was also corrupt and perverted the law, he did not evacuate the people according to the emperor's requirements, and the three million taels of silver that the emperor later allocated to him to settle the evacuated people were not distributed to the people, and all of them were collected by the king of Han into his own pocket.

As a result, thousands of innocent people will die in the floods after the levee bursts, and those who do not die will be displaced and have no families.

In addition, the king of Han bought the second grade of stone and clay at a price twice as high as the market price, and received a high bribe, nearly two million taels, otherwise the rain this time was not as big as the previous few days, even if the construction period was short, it would not have caused such a serious embankment breach.

What angered the emperor the most was the Han King's disregard for human life. In order to shorten the construction period, the king of Han recruited a large number of strong men to repair the embankment, which was nothing, but he was anxious for quick success, regardless of their physical capacity, day and night forced them to work with high loads of stones, and the weather was hot, many people got sick, and some people also had symptoms of plague, the king of Han not only did not send witch doctors to heal them, and reported to the court, but burned all the sick people to death, their families came to find people in vain, and threatened to go to Beijing to sue the emperor, as a result of a family of nine except for a ten-year-old girl, All of them were secretly executed by the King of Han.

But the sky net is magnificent, negligent but not leaky, so coincidentally, Mu Keya, who had just arrived in Hunhe County, saved the little girl who was being chased and killed by the guards of King Han, and the truth of all this will be revealed.

Queen Mother, the above crimes, capital crimes every day, and punishment for several crimes, you are going to be busy with the aftermath of King Han, how can you have time to pay attention to whether I have committed the crime of great disrespect? ”

Nalan Bing said lightly, and the more he talked, the happier he became, but the Queen Mother became more and more frightened when she heard it.

"Hugh is talking nonsense and slandering the King of Han!"

The Queen Mother's heart was not in a frenzy, and she hadn't gotten any relevant news about such a big thing until now. But just looking at Nalan Bing's attitude, what she said doesn't seem to be fake.

The Queen Mother clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face was bloodless, and the whole person jumped up from the phoenix chair.

"The Queen Mother should know that Mu Keya, as the leader of Huluduo, is a person, and Niangniang should know that he will not slander the King of Han."

Nalan Bing was still smiling, provoking the queen to tear her face apart.

At this moment, the palace people hurriedly reported that the emperor had put the king of Han in prison, and when Mu Keya returned to the northern capital with all the evidence, it was the day when the king of Han asked for beheading.

When the queen heard the news, she felt that the sky suddenly turned around.

Tears wet his eyes violently, but he desperately endured it because of Nalan Bing's presence.

"Someone, change the clothes of the mourning family, the mourning family is going to see the emperor."

"Why should the Queen Mother rush to intercede for the King of Han? After all, he is just your adopted son, and he is my mother-in-law's son after all. It's the flesh that fell from my mother-in-law, and now my mother-in-law doesn't care about the life or death of King Han and pursues her own happiness, why does Niangniang react so much?

I don't know what to do, do you think that the Queen Mother is his biological mother? ”

Nalan Bing's words made the Queen Mother stunned, and the fire had obviously entered her heart and lungs, and a mouthful of blood was pressed against her throat but she swallowed it forcefully.

Her concern for the King of Han seemed to arouse Nalan Bing's suspicions, and at this time, she also hoped that she could save the King of Han by remembering the compatriot relationship between the King of Han and Mu Bai, so she would never dare to let Nalan Bing know the true identity of the King of Han.

He was raised by the mourning family when he was an infant, fed him, taught him to speak, and helped him walk, all of which were done by the mourning family themselves, and even in order to love him wholeheartedly, the mourning family took the initiative to drink the soup of the child.

In the past 20 years, he has not been a mourning parent, but he is better than his own. The mourning child said that he would never do such a rebellious thing, and someone must have framed him. ”

The Queen Mother naturally also knew about the plan of the King of Han and Yelu League, they just found a robber to prepare to plant the blame to Nalan Bing, what is eager for quick success and quick profit, and the corruption is not within their plan, not to mention that the King of Han is not the kind of person who is shallow-eyed, and when he takes over this country, the whole world is his, and he doesn't care about this few million taels of silver at all, there must be something wrong with this.

She looked at Nalan Bing tentatively, she suspected that this matter was related to Nalan Bing, but she also knew that because of her relationship between Mu Bai and King Han, King Du Han had always been merciful, and she was not sure for a while.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Not biological, better than biological? ”

Nalan Bing looked at the queen mockingly, and said: "No wonder the Queen Mother said this, after staying by the Queen Mother's side for a long time, the King of Han is actually very much like the Queen Mother in terms of appearance and temperament, saying that she is not biological, Nalan Bing really doesn't believe it."

The Queen Mother was shocked.

Nalan Bing walked to the Queen Mother and whispered in her ear: "Niangniang, although almost all the palace people in the palace twenty years ago have been dealt with by you, how can there be an impermeable wall in this world?"

Some time ago, the emperor happened to fall into the lake, was hit by me, rescued from the lake, fortunately saved in time to pick up a life, and at that time, he was found at the bottom of the lake in time because there was a light at the bottom of the lake, but he didn't care at the time.

Later, I heard my mother-in-law inadvertently mention that when the prince was full moon, the first emperor gave him an egg-sized night pearl as a full moon gift, the night pearl was rare and precious, but it was accidentally broken in half by the prince at that time, and the mother-in-law found a skillful craftsman to use the larger half of it to make a very delicate collar for the prince.

Mu Bai once asked the prince where the night pearl collar was now, and the prince said that he had lost it, but he didn't know where it was.

A few days ago, I passed by the lake again, and connected everything before and after, and thought that the light in the lake was very much from the pearl of the night, so I jumped into the lake on a whim——"

When the queen heard this, her heart beat faster, but she held her breath tightly and couldn't easily divulge her emotions.

Nalan Bing hooked the corners of his mouth lightly and continued: "Sure enough, it took a lot of effort to finally let me find the Night Pearl collar, but next to that collar, I actually found other things, can Niangniang guess what it is?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she was in a trance and almost fell.
