By the time Mu Xue put all the hearty meals into her belly, it was already half an hour later.

The spring night breeze rippled, Nangong Li hugged Mu Xue and snuggled up to each other on the swing, feeling the quiet of the years.

But the years have been quiet,

But the candles in the Heart Nourishing Hall were lit until late at night.

The emperor was furious and read the ledger in his hand roughly, and one angrily snapped the thick ledger shut, and there was a big noise.

"This account book should really be written by Yin Yuangao?"

The officials involved in this account book almost include half of the important officials in the court, and it is no wonder that such a large salt field has been mined for nearly two years, and he, the emperor, only now knows about it.

Is this person of the Yin family thinking that he is blind?

"Yes, and Weichen has taken it upon himself to escort all the family members of the guilty minister Yin Yuangao back to the capital, and ask the emperor to forgive him."

At the beginning, the emperor only said that he would escort Yin Yuangao back to Beijing for investigation, so now Gao Qi brought more than a dozen of Yin Yuangao's family members and dozens of slaves back to the capital, and he had to report to the emperor first.

Compared to this filthy ledger, this little thing that Takasaki will not be subject to the king's life is nothing.

At this moment, the emperor's face was gloomy, staring at the account book interestingly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fortunately, you brought back all the families of the guilty ministers, otherwise if you let them escape, wouldn't it make those officials in the court even more disregard for the law?" But there is one more thing I want to ask clearly, why didn't I catch Yin Yuangao? Did he abandon his family and run away? ”

The emperor didn't know that Yin Yuangao was actually dead.

If Yin Yuangao is not caught, it will cause a catastrophe.

"According to reliable sources, Yin Yuangao is dead, and I heard that it was done by a Jianghu organization."

"Jianghu organization??"

The emperor's words were filled with a hint of relief that he didn't even notice.

It's good if people die.

If a person doesn't die, it's hard to guarantee that the queen won't spend a lot of energy to rescue, how good it is to die now, it's still the Jianghu organization that killed him, but it helped him.

"Yes, but what exactly organized Weichen to return to the capital, I haven't found out yet."

The proof is there.

According to this account book, a series of corrupt officials will definitely be able to find out a lot.

But the emperor looked at the account book placed on the dragon case, and frowned very tightly.

Because there are too many officials involved in this, and there is also a patriarch of the three dynasties, if this is investigated and dealt with ruthlessly, it will shake the foundation of the imperial court.

If the court is unstable, then the entire capital will be in turmoil.

"Then you go ahead and investigate this matter, I need to know what kind of Jianghu organization did such a thing. When the matter is clear, you will come back and forth. You have been tired and hard all day long, so kneel down today."

The emperor meant to let him retreat, but he stood there motionless, as if he had something important to return to.

The emperor frowned, and when he saw that he was not retreating, he asked with some doubts: "What's the matter?" Is there anything else to talk about? ”

Before, when he sent someone to escort his wife and children home, before parting, it was his wife who told him that in fact, the prince had not sent anyone to tell the emperor in the palace about when he would return to the capital.

So when he was at the city gate before, the words that Prince Li said were only used to blackmail the prince.

But he is not stupid, if the prince blocks the mouths of those people at the city gate, then no one will tell the emperor about the prince stopping himself.

A determined look flashed in his eyes at this moment.

The prince's methods were too despicable, especially when the prince's eyes were full of anger when he looked at his daughter before, he firmly thought that he must protect his family.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, when my subordinates entered the city before, ......"

In fact, this Gao Qi did not deliberately slander the prince, nor did he want to speak for Nangong Li, but just told the emperor everything about this matter.

There is no oil and vinegar, and there is no personal feelings, but the matter is restored in a decent manner.

The emperor behind the dragon case didn't mean to be angry, but just a cruel and bloodthirsty smile on the corner of his lips.

Pi smiled and said interestingly: "It's really interesting, General Zhao, who guards the city gate, is afraid that it is the prince who gave him." ”

It sounded like just a bland sentence, but this Takasaki heard the meaning of slaughter.

He kept his head down, not daring to speak again.

The entire Heart Cultivation Hall fell into a strange silence, and only the emperor still carefully turned over the slight sound of the account book.

Fang just took a rough look at it, and after a careful look at it, Gao Qi only felt that the emperor's eyes that were as cold as a cold pool in the past were tumbling with scorching karmic fire.

Presumably, with his return to the city, there will be countless bloodshed in the capital.

For example, General Zhao who defended the city.

For example, the family members of the guilty minister Yin Yuangao.

The officials involved in the ledger, Takasaki didn't know what the emperor would do.

But these two families are afraid that they will inevitably go to prison.

The Forbidden City is the home of the emperor.

The city gate is the gate of the emperor's house.

The right to enter and exit the door has other ill-intentioned people to interfere, how can the emperor easily let go of General Zhao who is guarding the door.

At three o'clock the next day, in the palace of nourishing the heart, the early dynasty.

The emperor didn't sleep soundly all night.

When I woke up in the morning, my mood was extremely uncomfortable.

His face was ugly, but he didn't take out the account book, and went to investigate and deal with them one by one according to the officials involved in the account book.

Originally, those officials who had been bribed were terrified, but when they heard that Yin Yuangao was dead, they were all relieved.

are firmly connected to the city, if the emperor asks, he only says that he is wronged, and he will not admit it.

Moreover, when several of their discerning officials saw that the emperor did not seem to want to mention the matter of Yantian, they breathed a sigh of relief even more smoothly.

The decree to dismiss General Zhao and his lieutenant came out of the palace at noon, on the grounds of negligence and dereliction of duty.

Then the emperor asked General Gao Qi Gao to recommend a confidant to take over the position of General Zhao in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Moreover, the emperor also determined that Yin Yuan's high crime should be beheaded in the early dynasty, and his family members should enjoy the punishment of sitting together.

But when he said this, there was a sudden uproar in the court, and the officials in the court were clearly divided into two factions.

One is the emperor's direct henchmen, advocating cutting grass and eradicating roots, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and upholding the unhealthy spirit of the court.

One is a supporter of the queen, asking the emperor to be lenient and benevolent in order to show the emperor's grace.

As if embarrassed, the emperor was impatient with their quarrels, and with a wave of the dragon sleeves on the spot, he locked all the people in the prison for further discussion.

"Do you think the queen will be desperate to rescue Yin Yuangao's family?"

When Mu Xue asked this, she was leaning against the window on the third floor of the Jinlong Silver Village.

Just because the field of vision here is relatively wide, Mu Xue and Nangong Li can see that there is a high-spirited little general with a team of Imperial Forest Army in the direction of the city gate.

When passing through Chang'an Avenue downstairs, the people were cleared to both sides.

The battle was very large, and the emperor's intention was to tell the people of the whole capital, and even more so to warn the prince who was about to move.

Now he is too lazy to blame the prince for his life, that person already has a heart of disobedience, and he can't persuade him no matter what.

Nangong stood in front of the window and blocked a large amount of daylight.

Hearing Mu Xue's words, he shook his head interestingly: "Eighty percent no, my father has determined Yin Yuangao's crime early in the morning, and the crime should be punished, and the family will enjoy the punishment of joint sitting." How could the queen's selfish old witch take risks for a person who is already dead. ”

If Yin Yuangao hadn't died, it would still be a bit possible.

But if he didn't save his family, the queen's minions would definitely not follow her sincerely when they saw the queen being so selfish and affectionate. How could she not know this? ”

Oh, yes.

Seriously, the people who are locked up in the cell at the moment are all relatives of the queen.

Thinking of this, Mu Xue seemed to understand something.

She turned her head and asked the man beside her: "According to your spies, did the emperor get impatient with the quarrel this morning, so he put people in prison first and stayed for trial?" ”

The message is this.

The person who came to report said that the emperor was very embarrassed to do so.

But Mu Xue always felt that it wasn't like this.

The emperor should be waiting....

Both are waiting for the queen to do it....

I don't expect the queen to do it,

After all, this thing.

If the queen does it, the emperor will definitely have a chance to clean up the queen.

If the queen doesn't do it, then the emperor will sit and wait for the queen to lose the hearts of those old ministers.

It's like a double-edged sword.

The emperor pretended to have a headache at the moment, and with an attitude of watching the fire from the other side, he looked coldly at what kind of death the queen's mother and son could do.

In this matter, Mu Xue seemed to have seen the trick behind this matter, lowered her eyes, as if she was thinking about something,

Nangong Li raised his hand to hug her shoulder, and answered her question in a warm voice: "Actually, what do you think, this king also knows, because this king also thinks so in his heart." In fact, this king should have thought of a more important thing a long time ago. ”

Nangong Li's voice was gentle, but his eyes flashed with a cold glow.

He looked at the lead clouds rolling in the distance in the distance, and the corners of his lips hooked into a bloodthirsty smile.

Hearing him say that he missed something, Mu Xue's eyes flashed with surprise: "There are still things you haven't considered, let's hear about it." ”

"Didn't this king tell you before? Didn't Yin Yuancai hold nearly 70,000 infantry in his hands? ”

Mu Xue nodded and asked naturally, "What's wrong?" ”

"The 70,000 soldiers and horses brought by Yin Yuancai are nearly two thousand miles away from the capital. Last night, the king thought about it all night, for so many years, the emperor more or less transferred all the people of the Yin family out of the capital, and even far away. In this way, even if there is really something wrong in the capital, the soldiers and horses of the Yin family will not have time to return to the capital, if they spend a month or two on the road, then Xiao Xue'er, do you think they will still have influence on the situation in the capital when they come back? ”

It's not just that it's not influential.

If you bring your troops back to the city after everything has settled, you will be trapping yourself.
