Outside the four elephants, the clouds are raining.

Emperor Jingxiao stood on the platform with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky with heavy eyes.

The breeze after the rain was slightly cool, flooded with saturated water vapor to hit the face, blowing the hem of the emperor's rolling dragon robe into the air, and the sound of "horn" swayed in the air.

Just looking at the back, it reveals the coldness and majesty that belong to the king.

When the sun returns, the remnant sun is like blood. The afterglow of the west dyed the yellow robe on the emperor's body bright red, rippling layer by layer, like the blood of the scarlet, gurgling all over the emperor's body.

Since ancient times, which monarch in the most cold heights has not held a butcher's knife in one hand and a pen in the other, looking at blood-stained paintings?

This country is not easy to come by, as an emperor, others will never be allowed to covet it-

"The suspect in the dummy case hasn't been found yet?"

After a moment of silence, Emperor Jingxiao suddenly asked, his voice fluctuating, lukewarm.

Behind him, Leng Qingtang arched his hand:

"Emperor Qi, it is the incompetence of the ministers. After July 7, the masked man was nowhere to be found. In order to arrest him and bring him to justice, the minister has sent five concerted efforts to investigate day and night, and set up heavy precautions for other provinces. Once the prisoner is infested, he will be taken down on the spot. ”

The emperor's brows were tightened, and his eyes became colder:

"I'm going to capture you alive! I want you to bring him to my eyes, so that I can see him clearly! ”

The emperor gritted his teeth secretly, and a voice in his heart reminded him from time to time:

Whoever learns of that and rebels against me will die!

"Your Ministers obey."

Leng Qingtang's thin lips raised slightly, and he bowed. Between the low eyebrows, a clear color in the phoenix's eyes quietly swung.

was summoned to the palace, and on the way to Sixianglu, someone told him about the emperor's scolding of Kagura.

Leng Qingtang is so cunning, how can he not know the purpose of Wanli's kid running to the National Teacher's Daolu?

Dongchang caught the three officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Privy Council, and Wan's father and son immediately used the treasure to test the emperor's tone, which shows that the secret matter of Baishuiguan and the case of the Zheng family many years ago were indeed implicated in Wan's case.

Throwing stones to ask for directions, this trick really worked.

The next thing he Leng Qingtang has to do is to fan the flames and take advantage of Emperor Jingxiao's violent and suspicious personality to make him turn against Wan and kill each other......

At this time, the emperor asked again:

"What can be said among the people these days?"

The nerves at the tip of the eyebrows fluctuated slightly, Leng Qingtang had already taken precautions, and spoke slowly:

"Back to the emperor, I did hear some gossip. This action has spread to a wide range of the capital, and it is likely that it will disturb the people in all directions again and again, causing many dissatisfaction among the people.

However, since the day of its completion, the East Factory has taken the eradication of adultery as its own responsibility, and the ministers are the society and the emperor, even if they are misunderstood and scolded by people who do not know the truth. ”

This is not a long sentence, but it gives too much information.

Under the emperor's nose, Leng Qingtang not only swore to express the loyalty of his courtiers, but also implied that those who turned their backs on Dongchang and ran to the emperor's ears to blow the wind were traitors who had two hearts and were disloyal to the emperor.

Emperor Jingxiao turned around, and his pale and yellow face faced the humble courtiers. There are only two gazes, blazing like electricity, staring straight at the handsome face of the person in front of him, as if there is a mysterious power that penetrates the human body and sees through the human heart in an instant.

"Could it be that no one talked about the Zheng family's case twelve years ago?"

Feeling a sharp look above his head, Leng Qingtang's face turned pale, and he replied unhurriedly:

"The emperor can rest assured, since Bian Moqi died twelve years ago, the rumor has become extinct in the market. If there are any more rumors, whether it is in the court or outside the palace, the day when the ministers are there, they will strictly admit the rumors and stop the rumors, so that the emperor can rest easy. ”

Emperor Jingxiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, his eyebrows crooked, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay, why can't I trust you!"

The name "Bian Moqi" was really mentioned at the right time, and it seemed to remind Emperor Jingxiao of another past.

The emperor will not forget that when he first appeared in the ceremony, he sent someone to secretly destroy Zheng Ran's family in order to prevent future troubles. It didn't take long for him to target the former admiral of Dongchang, who had secret dealings with Zheng Ran.

And the person who came forward to investigate the Border Governor was the Dongchang Thousand Households Leng Qingtang at that time, and the good apprentice who was accepted by the Border Governor himself!

Soon, the news of the persecution and tragic death of the Governor reached the emperor's ears, and he appreciated Leng Qingtang's ruthlessness and promoted him to take over as the new governor of Dongchang.

Emperor Jingxiao took two steps forward and passed by Leng Qingtang's side, and his mental activity did not stop:

Indeed, since Leng Qingtang took over the East Factory, he has been loyal to the South China royal family.

Not to mention his repeated strange cases, he was wrongfully punished with a cane the year before last, and even during the period of recuperation in the house, he had to work hard, secretly investigated, and cracked the case of the corruption of the tribute girl and Mu Yangbu's political history.

To be suspicious of such a loyal person is to appear to be narrow-minded and not a wise and martial monarch.

Think about Shen, Sun, and Ding again, hum! What is the hero of the society? It's ridiculous –

Just because they helped me seize power and ascend to power, can now they regard themselves as "social heroes", swaggering, doing whatever they want, and even using the past and the four words "social heroes" to blackmail me?

Don't think that I don't dare to touch them!

Emperor Jingxiao knew that for the sake of the stability of the foundation for thousands of years, some past events were destined to become secrets that could not be disclosed. Only the dead can keep the secret forever!

Raising his eyes gloomily, Emperor Jingxiao's pair of turbid eyes were filled with a trace of scarlet color, as if he was twisting blood, and said coldly:

"Now that Shen Kun, Sun Yuan and Ding Qiwei have pleaded guilty, the case is over. The three of us exterminated the nine clans, and the harem Qi Concubine was the daughter of the Ding family, and she was given wine for self-determination. You go down, I will go back to the Qinming Hall to draft the decree later. ”

"Wechen obeys."

After saluting, Leng Qingtang bowed and retreated, a trace of smile lines appeared on his lips, gloomy and proud.

At present, the emperor wants to kill those three people, and when the holy decree is given, the facts will be settled, which will be an excellent blow to the Wan clan and the Wan clan's henchmen. Naturally, they and the emperor were suspicious of each other and estranged.

Their monarchs and ministers fight the law, and he, the admiral of Dongchang, can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Since then, it has been one step forward since the day his great revenge was avenged-

……

The sun and the moon are like shuttles, time is like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, by mid-August, Gu Yunxi has entered the palace for more than half a month.

Early this morning, Gu Yunxi was dressed neatly and walked into the main hall of Chuxiu Palace early.

She thanked Concubine Xu for her kindness to rescue her from the celebrant supervisor, and after more than ten days of recuperation, the wounds on her body have healed, but the scabs have not yet faded, but this does not affect the return to serve the mother.

Holding a tray with a cup of herbal tea on it, Gu Yunxi stood respectfully in front of Concubine Xu, bent his knees to salute, and called lightly in his mouth:

"Mother, Wan'an."

Seeing her coming, Concubine Xu's eyes lit up, and her tone was a little joyful:

"What's going on? Is the wound healed? I'm not busy here for now, but if you're not feeling well, you can rest for a few more days. ”

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid is in good health, and she doesn't dare to slack off. Seeing the end of the summer, the slave maid made a new apricot pear herbal tea and offered it to the mother to try the heat. ”

Gu Yunxi stepped forward obediently, served the herbal tea in Concubine Xu's hand, and then knelt on his knees, saying to the point:

"Niangniang has the grace of regeneration for slaves and maids, and slaves and maids are unforgettable, only when they are cows and horses to repay their kindness."

As he spoke, he knocked down, and his forehead touched the ground, making a "bang" sound.

Concubine Xu's face was flat, and she looked at Gu Yunxi and kowtowed, before she said:

"Get up, you don't have to thank Bengong. In fact, this palace came forward to confront the celebrant not for you, but for the palace itself. ”
