Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "Dad, are you thinking of the county lord too calculatingly?" Doesn't Dad often say that trees are big and windy? The county lord is extremely smart, and she must also understand this truth, isn't she worried that the power in her hands will be too great to cause the emperor's ...... Even if the emperor doesn't deal with the county lord, is the new empress willing to use the county lord as a courtier who can command hundreds of officials? ”

Zhao Shangshu thought for a while and said, "The prime minister has no military power, and he has little impact on the new emperor. The county lord must also want to get rid of her after she is used up. But no matter what, the new emperor will definitely not kill the county lord, countless pairs of eyes in the world are watching, the reason why the empress can successfully ascend the throne is all supported by a series of achievements made by the county lord, setting an example for women to participate in politics, and giving confidence to the people all over the world, especially the "Yangtao Treasure Book", which taught many poor farmers planting and breeding techniques, and their lives became better. When the new empress sits firmly in the country, the county lord will definitely take the initiative to resign from the official position of prime minister and return to Yangtao County with a lot of money to be the emperor of the soil. ”

Zhao Yun suddenly said: "Dad, if the county lord takes the handle of all the ministers, plus the support of the people, do you think she will oust the new empress from power, and she will be the empress herself?" ”

Zhao Shangshu was stunned for a moment, shook his hand, and said, "This is impossible, the emperor still pays attention to blood." If the county lord does this, it is a rebellion. Besides, our emperor has already announced that the children and grandchildren of the county lord will be crowned kings for generations, and she will return to Yangtao, and her status is not much different from that of the emperor, so there is no need to take risks. In the next few years, Daddy estimated that what the county lord was thinking about was how to make more money! ”

In short, Zhao Shangshu taught his son: Follow the county lord, everything must be considered in terms of corruption, it doesn't matter if you are corrupt, just share some benefits to the county lord while being corrupt!

If Xu Zhilan hears the conversation between the Zhao family's father and son, it is estimated that his stomach will be full of laughter! His only thought is to run away with Xi'er and Niangzi, the affairs of the people's livelihood in the world are his business, as long as it is not caused by him. Now for Xu Zhilan, it is like burning on a fire, staying in the court to do things, for fear of exposing the identity of a man; fled and didn't do anything about the restoration of Hualan Kingdom, and was afraid that more than 100 people from Lan Keqing would chase and kill him. The key is that Xi'er is a weak woman, and her ability to escape is too poor, and she is seriously holding back!

This night, he couldn't sleep in bed, Xi'er hugged him from behind and asked, "Xianggong, what are you thinking?" ”

Xu Zhilan turned around, hugged Xi'er, kissed her face, and said, "I wonder when you will be able to learn the 'Orchid Heart Sutra'?" ”

Xi'er'er was ashamed, she really couldn't learn this exercise, and every time she made a move, her whole body was numb, and it had no effect at all. She whispered: "Xianggong, when I am pregnant with a baby, I will leave first and find a hidden place to wait for you." ”

Xu Zhilan doesn't know why, after so many years, why can't he conceive a baby? He unconsciously touched the soul bell in his hand again, cursed a few words in his heart, and went to sow seeds with Xi'er'er!

Although the Sitong Dart Bureau is under construction, two months is a bit long and there are too many variables! Now, only the method of making Xi'er pregnant can force Xi'er to leave early, otherwise Xi'er will not leave, I am afraid that if something happens to Xu Zhilan after leaving, the Xu family will be dead! Although Xi'er didn't say it, Xu Zhilan knew Xi'er's thoughts.

Princess Ziyang was called to Funing Palace by her mother, and the mother and daughter talked for most of the night, analyzing how Xu Zhilan would rectify the Qin family. Although the inexperienced Zu Ling was followed by Qin Yougui's people, and several important witnesses who reported to Zu Ling had been killed, they could not all be killed. The death of a witness can be interpreted as a coincidence, ten or eight of them are all dead, the coincidence is so outrageous, fools know that the Qin family is killing people!

It's not that Qin Yougui doesn't want to give gifts to bribe Zu Ling, it's just that the other party is here to get him, and he thinks it's the same whether he gives it or not!

On the 27th, above the court, Princess Jinyang was very looking forward to Xu Zhilan taking out a thick fold and listing Qin Yougui's countless crimes in public, and then his father Emperor Long Yan was furious, and arrested Qin Yougui and tortured him, Funing Palace collapsed, and she Kunning Palace was the only family! The idea was beautiful, but Xu Zhilan quietly went to court, patted his ass and left, and didn't say anything.

Princess Ziyang was so worried that she was distracted, and when she discussed political affairs today, she was very substandard, although it was not good in the past.

Zhao Shangshu thought that Xu Zhilan had reached some kind of agreement with Funing Palace, or Xu Zhilan had obtained sufficient benefits, and Qin Yougui's matter would be over!

The other ministers saw that the county lord of Yangtao did not make trouble to Qin Yougui, and most of everyone's hanging hearts were relieved, as long as the county lord collected the cash, everything would be easy to do!

Xu Zhao called Xu Shi, the left and right of the Supervision Yuan, to the palace to ask about the situation, but the two said that the matter was supervised by the county lord, and they were not easy to ask.

"It's the New Year in two days, and I don't know how many things Vice General Qin has been corrupt and perverted for, what does the county lord want to do?" Gonggong Liu thought in his heart, praying that Xu Zhilan would not toss a big case during the New Year, which would make people panic, and it would not be good for the New Year.

Xu Zhao also has such worries, thinking about it, it is better to call Xu Zhilan over and ask directly.

Xu Zhilan just came to the Supervision Yuan, and before he finished drinking a cup of tea, his father-in-law came to pass on the emperor's edict and asked him to go to Xu's study to meet the emperor. He straightened his dress and got into a carriage to the palace.

"The son has seen his father, but I don't know what his father sent?" The emperor's expression was always so calm, and Xu Zhilan observed some useful information, but failed again!

"Zuling investigated Qin Yougui's affairs, and I have also heard about it, and I heard that he has returned yesterday, but I have found it," Xu Zhao asked while drinking tea.

After taking out the original manuscript submitted by Zu Ling, and after Liu Gonggong took it away, Xu Zhilan said: "Although there is no solid evidence, Erchen believes that the clues obtained by Master Zu through the secret investigation are true. It's just that the end of the year has come, and all countries are coming to the court, discussing this matter at this moment, publicizing it, and affecting the prestige of our country. In order not to startle the snake, Erchen was ready to go to the frontier in person to investigate in detail, implement them one by one, and ask his father for permission. ”

Xu Zhao was very angry after reading it, but he remained silent and asked, "Yangtao, when are you going to leave?" ”

"The moths of the country should be subdued as soon as possible. Erchen originally planned to set off immediately, but he was worried that if he left Jinling at the end of the year, the ministers would say that Erchen was not filial, and it was difficult to make a decision in his heart. "Since the emperor asked, Xu Zhilan wants to take the opportunity to leave with Xi'er'er, although it is not the Lingyun Pass route, but it is also a good choice to leave from the Western Regions.

Xu Zhao walked back and forth in Xu's study twice, glanced at Gonggong Liu, and after stopping, he looked at the inkstone placed on the right side of the bookcase in a daze.

After receiving the hint, Gonggong Liu looked at Xu Zhilan and said: "The county lord's words are wrong, for the monarch to share worries, and eliminate the great harm of the country, this is a great filial piety!" ”

Xu Zhilan was happy in his heart, Gonggong Liu is really a good person! He hurriedly said: "Gonggong Liu has taught the right lesson. ”
