Li Yange's death has already affected something to a certain extent.

Treason was originally a felony, and Li Yange was dead without proof, not to mention that this matter had attracted the attention of the emperor.

Before the sun even rose, the palace was already busy.

The officials were dressed in official uniforms and black gauze hats, and entered the palace with a lot of concern.

The early dynasties were without exception to discuss some trivial things, which made some ministers sleepy.

"The minister has his own performance!"

Suddenly, a strong voice woke up the people above the main hall, so that they couldn't help but look sideways.

This person is none other than Huang He, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who is in charge of ceremonies and sacrifices, and is also one of the most trusted ministers around the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor just waved his hand casually and let him continue.

"According to the fact that so many things happened some time ago, the old minister was ordered to investigate the Heavenly Master who was invited by the harem some time ago, and now he finally has some clues. What kind of Heavenly Master is this, it turns out that he is just a beggar pretending to be a Heavenly Master! ”

Maybe everyone still felt bored at first, but this bombshell news really blew everyone's minds away.

"Is that really the case?" The emperor's face was gloomy, and the richness and heaviness in his eyes could not be dissolved.

Huang He knelt down straight, and the whole person was prostrate on the ground, "What the old minister said, I don't dare to say a word that is false." ”

"How can a beggar have the courage to pretend to be a heavenly master to enter the palace, someone must have instructed him, I don't know if Aiqing found out who is doing the blame?"

The emperor's voice was even lower, and he faintly felt a thunderous posture.

Huang He hunched his waist and didn't raise his head, and replied with some hesitation: "Is this...... The old minister is incompetent, the other party is hiding too deeply, and there is no clue at all. ”

There was an uproar in the hall.

The fact that the dignified and ceremonial servants can't investigate shows that the other party is not only deeply hidden, but also has an extremely powerful background.

"Li Aiqing." The Emperor pondered for a few seconds before suddenly speaking.

Li Ke has already claimed that he is sick and has not been to the court for a month, and this shouting is naturally Li Qing, who was just released a few days ago.

Li Qing's eyelids have been jumping since the morning, but you feel that nothing good is waiting for you.

The emperor turned his gaze to him and asked bluntly, "Since Li Aiqing's daughter also has the ability to be related, I wonder if Li Aiqing wants to defend this matter?" ”

Although Li Qing has no great skills, he has been in this officialdom for decades.

Li Yange has a marriage contract with the fourth prince, which more or less represents his position.

Now this matter doesn't seem to be aimed at the deposed prince Tuoba Huan, who is hostile to him?

No emperor would allow his sons to target each other so blatantly.

Li Qing naturally understands these truths.

He hurriedly bent down and said in a panicked voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian! The old minister has always been loyal, and the little girl was confused for a while, did something wrong, and now she has already died with her will. The old minister dared to beg His Majesty not to pursue it again, and to give the old minister's father and daughter one last bit of face. ”

"What are you nervous about? I don't mean to blame you, it's just out of the search for the truth of the matter. The emperor rubbed his swollen and aching temples and said, "Don't mention this matter again, let's retreat." ”

Even if no conclusion was reached in the early dynasty, it does not mean that the emperor will really let go.

He intuitively decided that this matter was related to the fourth prince Tuoba Yuan, and instructed the little eunuch to send a few volumes of Buddha to pass by, so that he could meditate on the Buddha in the mansion.

Tuoba Yuan was puzzled, and the whole person was even more depressed.

He walked around the room several times, and his mind was about to burst and he couldn't come up with any way, so he had to become more and more irritable in the house.

Concubine Li wanted to do something to find out what happened, but the emperor didn't even want to see her in person for several days.

couldn't see the emperor, and his son was confined to the mansion again, and Concubine Li could only be helpless in the Splendid Palace.

Concubine Li's fall from grace brought great convenience to the queen, and she took this opportunity to start cleaning up the people in the palace.

first solved the problem of a few Jieyu who have been more favored in the palace recently, and used various reasons to kill them one by one.

There are only a few concubines in the entire harem who can't make big waves, and no one can be her opponent.

The harem can finally have a short period of peace, but this does not mean that the previous dynasty can be as stable.

The princes all have ghosts in their hearts and are waiting for the opportunity to move.

At this time, Tuoba Truss was drinking with the fifth prince Tuoba Jun in the Drunken Immortal Building.

"At present, in the entire huge harem, only the queen is in power, if the prince wants to ascend the throne, it will be just around the corner." Tuoba Jun frowned, and his whole person was a little gloomy.

Tuoba Truss put down the wine glass in his hand and smiled dumbly, "Since there isn't one, then let's create one." ”

In the light of the current situation, this is a good opportunity.

If you offer a beauty, that beauty is favored, and no one will say good things to him in front of the emperor?

For a time, Tuoba Jun's mind turned a thousand times.

"I don't know what the imperial brother thinks?"

Tuoba didn't reply to him immediately, but just asked him to calm down and listen carefully to the sound of the piano, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Isn't it the geisha of this drunken immortal building, Zhao Yunniang.

It is said that the girl in the drunken fairy building is as beautiful as a fairy, and she only sells her art and does not sell her body, and she lives a leisurely life.

But in the end, they are all unwilling, who wants to live here for the rest of their lives, only living in this small world?

Zhao Yunniang is naturally no exception.

She promised that after she was favored, she would say good things for Tuoba Jun in front of the emperor.

Zhao Yunniang is beautiful, with a colorful body and a unique temperament.

Such a beautiful woman was sent to the palace by Tuoba Jun in the name of filial piety, how could she not be favored.

She was born bewitching but not cheesy, and she has a good ability to observe words and emotions cultivated in the drunken fairy building all the year round, and her good piano skills are even more superb.

As long as she is given the opportunity to climb up, overnight, Zhao Yunniang will be favored by the emperor and named Yun Guiren.

Although she is becoming more and more favored, her contact with Tuoba Jun has not been broken, and she abides by her promise and reports the emperor's movements.

It's just that......

"Master, the emperor has often been sleepless lately because of corruption, and the corrupt officials seem to be related to Lord Lin of the Supervision Department."

Zhao Yunniang stood in front of a man and reported the recent situation with a very respectful look.

The man turned his back to her and played with the white jade cup in his hand, "Good job, if the emperor and the five princes have any movement, report to me immediately." The Fifth Prince's side must also be hidden, and he must not be allowed to discover your identity. ”

The man said, turning slowly.

This raw face is so delicate, if it is not a mop truss, who else can there be?

From the very beginning, all this was arranged by Tuoba Truss.

The Drunken Immortal Building is one of his properties, and arranging for Zhao Yunniang to enter the palace is also expected.

After Zhao Yunniang left, only Tuoba Truss and Sanqi were left in the room.

"Master, what should I do next?" Sanqi said.

Tuoba Huan carelessly filled the jade pot in advance and filled the tea: "Go and investigate the supervision department, and then check the people who have improper dealings in the supervision room." ”

"Yes."

A breeze moved, and Sanqi was gone.

It is not easy to record corruption, let alone the Department of Supervision.

Therefore, even if the people under Tuoba Truss went out in person, they did not find much useful evidence.

Tuoba Truss looked at the things in his hand that looked like waste paper, and couldn't help frowning.

Looks like I'll have to make my own trip.

At night, Tuoba Truss changed into a strong suit, leaped over the roof, and quietly entered the Supervision Department from above.

Looking at the soldiers stationed at the door, he took out a small porcelain vase from his bosom.

Just a small pill, smashing towards the guard's position.

As soon as the small particles hit the ground, they exploded, and a puff of smoke instantly floated around them, and when the smoke cleared, the guards had all fallen to the ground.

Tuobaju stepped forward and took the key from the guard's clothes, opened the door, and he walked in, a smell of old age coming over his face.

Rows and rows of shelves stand on top of thin ledgers.

These ledgers were not recorded by year, but by purpose, which made it easier for Tuoba to find evidence.

What he was looking for was a record of the disaster relief money.

Throughout the ages, every time something big happened, no matter how much the emperor allocated money, it was the people who suffered.

The last time he went to Jiangnan to treat the plague, he had already noticed the twists and turns in the doorway.

If he hadn't handled it properly, and those officials wouldn't have had time to embezzle, the plague would certainly not have been able to be dealt with so quickly.

Tuoba quickly wrote down the amount of disaster relief money in recent years, and he read every account and remembered it all.

Only after all the important accounts had been written down did he put the ledger back on the shelf and quietly left.

As soon as he returned to his mansion, Tuoba stayed in his study and wrote down the things in his memory.

"You take this with you to check, and you must not let go of all the details."

As he spoke, he handed over what he had just written to Sanqi.

This is not only the amount of disaster relief money, but also the detailed time, as long as you follow this clue, you will definitely be able to find out.

With such an order, the secret guards searched for evidence of corruption much faster, and it only took three days to figure out the general situation, and the evidence had already been delivered to him on the fourth day.

Early in the morning, Tuoba Truss went to the morning court.

"The son has a good performance." Tuoba truss took a step forward, with a righteous and awe-inspiring posture.

The emperor was a little surprised, after all, Tuoba Truss had never said a word since the crown prince was abolished.

"Exactly."

"In recent days, Erchen learned that Lord Lin Xulin of the Supervision Department has embezzled disaster relief funds many times, and the amount of embezzlement is as high as 1 million taels of silver, and the maximum amount of bribes is 10,000 taels of gold."
