Chapter 469: Grain and Grass

Linglong's whole expression was tense and very nervous.

The bird's nest in Xi'er's house was taken out and first checked with a silver needle, and then put it under the nose and sniffed gently.

Linglong saw his movements getting more and more nervous.

Seeing that Xi'er put the bird's nest in cold water and put a little salt in it, a shocking scene appeared.

The otherwise calm water suddenly boiled, bubbling with countless small bubbles.

Linglong was shocked and covered her mouth with her hand, "How could this be sent by the old lady!" ”

The most important thing is that this box has been sealed, and it was only opened a few days ago, and the county lord of Anle has no chance to do it at all.

"There is only one explanation, that is, this bird's nest is being put into the box and has been tampered with!"

Xi'er thought that the matter was very important and wanted to tell Cheng Yuru, but Cheng Yuru was playing with her temper and didn't listen to anyone, so she could only go into the study and tell Cheng An.

"What do you say, what will happen if the bird's nest is passive?"

As soon as Cheng An heard that Cheng Yuru had an accident, his whole face was tense after he quickly bounced up from the chair.

"I just gave the master a pulse, and I didn't see anything, and that medicine is harmless to the body, it will only increase people's hunger!"

Hunger!

Cheng An suddenly remembered Cheng Yuru's good appetite these days.

"What a painstaking effort! I know about this matter, you will be by his side for the past few days, and tell me in time if there is anything! ”

When Cheng An was the only one left in the study, the hand under his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.

He called Ning Ze directly, "Check it out for me, you must find out who did it!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yuru almost had an accident, Ning Ze was very efficient, and soon found out that the third prince had sent someone to leave the capital and the destination was Cheng Yuru's hometown.

"Good, good!" The corners of Cheng An's mouth were cold, and he looked at the palace with a smile.

Above the court, Cheng An put on a fold, like a stone falling into the lake, setting off ripples.

"How can this be reasonable, there is such audacity and recklessness, check, you must check it to the end!"

The emperor was furious, and everyone knelt down to plead guilty.

Cheng An took the initiative to stand up, "This matter is related to tens of thousands of soldiers in the frontier, and the minister asks to personally receive the order to investigate this matter, and all the moths in the court must be cleaned up." ”

"Minister......s" A minister heard Cheng An's words, and was just about to speak, but the eldest prince stepped forward, "The border war, bloody battles, but the grain and grass were replaced by corrupt people, but the desperate soldiers had no food and grass to use, and their crimes were not resigned, and the ministers begged for their lives to investigate together!" ”

Since Cheng An's fold was handed over, the third prince's face was extremely ugly, like a palette, blue and white.

Originally, there was still room for the matter to be turned back, but when he heard the words of the eldest prince, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the third prince took the initiative to walk in front of Cheng An and the eldest prince, "Very good!" ”

Inexplicable two words.

Cheng An's face did not change, and he said flatly, "I don't know what His Royal Highness means!" ”

"I hope you will have a smooth ride for the rest of your life, and don't plant it in my hands!"

The third prince put down a cruel word that was not painful and walked into the queen's palace.

Then he knew everything about the palace, got the news, and was anxious.

"Are you sure you didn't have any handles left?"

How so?

If you want people to know, you can't do it unless you do.

Not to mention such a large sum of silver.

The third prince fell into deep thought, and only spoke after a long time, "There are some people we can't keep, and we have to break our tails to survive at a critical time!" ”

"Is that your grandfather?"

"The queen mother, no poison and no husband, can only sacrifice for our affairs, not to mention that even if my grandfather admits that he will not lose his life for the sake of his past achievements."

"You ......"

When she heard that her son was going to sacrifice her father.

The queen tried to stop her, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.

"That's it! It's all up to you! ”

Speaking again, his voice was full of sadness.

The third prince saw the queen's sadness, but he didn't care about him, there were still many things to do, and he left in a hurry.

In the huge palace, the estimated figure of the queen sat on the chaise longue.

There was an unprecedented loneliness on her delicate face, and her tears kept sliding down the corners of her eyes, but she cried and cried and laughed, laughed and cried.

"This is the result of my lifelong struggle, is this really what I want!"

Since entering the palace, she has been the queen of ten thousand people under one person.

She stood on a high place and understood the truth that high places are unbearable, but more helplessly.

Standing on the top of no one, overlooking thousands of people, what do you get in the end?

The grandmother was guarding the door, and when she heard a miserable cry coming from inside, she hurried in.

Seeing the queen burst into tears, she hugged her in her arms in distress, "Niangniang, what's the matter, what did the third prince say!" ”

"It's nothing, I just feel tired, I've fought for a lifetime, I've been fighting for a lifetime, and what's left in the end!"

"Niangniang, your good days are still ahead, after the third prince ascends the throne, you will be the model of women in the world, and you will be the queen mother! Don't be discouraged! ”

……

The grain and grass were exchanged, and the grain and grass bought by the household department were unconsciously replaced with grain that the animals did not eat, and this matter spread from the court, and the people talked about it, and the soldiers were even more indignant, asking the emperor to investigate it thoroughly.

"These corrupt officials are really hateful, if it weren't for General Chu's strategy to end the war in time, maybe we would have suffered from the war, and the corrupt officials should be punished by the nine clans and killed cleanly!"

"Isn't it, these people who kill a thousand knives, corrupt officials and corrupt officials can't be killed, and the court is disappointing!"

"Fortunately, we have the God of War general, otherwise ......"

At the thought that the soldiers at the border would be unclothed and hungry after using those things, many parents who were soldiers in their families were indignant and eager to rush into the homes of corrupt officials and behead them.

There are constant gossips in the capital, coupled with deliberate guidance.

Everyone hated those who appropriated food and grass.

Cheng An had already controlled the evidence, but he didn't move, and seemed to be busy looking for evidence every day, but in fact he was waiting for someone to throw himself into the net.

The eldest prince tried his best to investigate the case every day, and he and Cheng Anxin took care of it.

When the two met in private, they talked about the affairs of the imperial court.

With the help of Cheng An and others, the eldest prince has obtained the help of many courtiers and has received the heartfelt support of many generals.

The three princes ran every day, hoping to destroy the evidence, but they didn't know that his throne was getting farther and farther away from him.

A few days later, Cheng An accused the three princes of accepting bribes, buying and selling officials, misappropriating grain and grass, and selling grain and grass.

"You rebel ......"

The emperor was so angry that his blood surged, his eyes rolled, and he fainted.

When he woke up again, looking at the dark night sky, he instantly looked like a dying person, and said in a voice like a gossamer, "These wastes! ”
