Chapter Ninety-Five: Exposed
"That's how Luan'er thinks of me? How could I poke it out, I know that he is my son, naturally I am very happy, I will help him ascend to the throne, in the future, Dashang and Chaoyang will be a family, let's share the prosperity, wouldn't it be good? ”
Liu Fengluan broke free from her embrace and looked at him, her eyes full of vigilance, "What do you want to do?" Jue'er is the queen's concubine, and he has the support of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is only a matter of time before he ascends to the throne, so why do you need your help? ”
A cold light flashed in Murong Xiuqi's eyes, this woman was much smarter than before, but he seemed to prefer her like this, "Since you have asked so, I will say it bluntly, I want you to cooperate with me, remove Dongfang Yi, and support Jue'er to ascend to the throne." ”
Liu Fengluan is not stupid, he naturally knows that he has a plan, "What good do you do by doing this?" ”
"Luan'er, you are getting smarter and smarter, after Jue'er ascends the throne, you will let him sign a co-prosperity agreement with Chaoyang Kingdom, and in the future, the treasury income of Dashang will be divided into 30% to Chaoyang every year."
"Don't you think about it!" Liu Fengluan shouted, she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief, this is the man she loved nineteen years ago, and he actually wanted to take advantage of it, not to mention the emperor, even she knew that she could not agree.
Murong Xiuqi knew that she would not agree so easily, and no longer persuaded her, but reached out to pick her chin, looking at the anger on her face, he unexpectedly felt that she was very good-looking at the moment, so as soon as his heart moved, he kissed it, and Liu Fengluan was stunned for a moment and immediately wanted to break free, but her hands were held tightly by him, and she couldn't struggle.
Murong Xiuqi picked her up and walked to the bed on the side, Liu Fengluan gradually stopped struggling after a while, and after Murong Xiuqi put her down, she immediately put her hands on his shoulders and kissed him back passionately......
An hour later, Liu Fengluan left in a hurry, the carriage quickly rushed to the city gate, Liu Yingyuan got off the carriage and hurried into the palace with the "palace maid", the guard guarding the door saw this and dispelled the previous doubts, presumably the queen mother is in a hurry, but this prime minister's mansion is not far away, the palace maid went for so long to invite people back, maybe the Xiangye was delayed in the mansion?
The two hurriedly returned to Kunning Palace, at this time Ziqing, who was lying on the bed pretending to be the queen, was really anxious, for fear of being discovered, and immediately got up after hearing the sound, and saw the queen mother and Xiangye coming back together, so they put their minds at ease, "You change your clothes and go down." ”
After Liu Fengluan let Ziqing go down, he immediately turned to look at Liu Yingyuan, seeing that his face was gloomy, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, "Brother, I ......"
Liu Yingyuan looked at her, frowned and said, "Niangniang, you are still so confused, why did you forget your identity as soon as you saw her?" Now you have a handle in his hands, which is a great disadvantage to us. ”
Liu Fengluan was a little disappreciative in his heart, but his face was also worried, "He wants to get rid of the emperor and let Jue'er ascend the throne, and after ascending the throne, he will sign a co-prosperity agreement with Chaoyang, and in the future, the annual treasury income of Dashang will be divided into 30% to Chaoyang." ”
"What? You promised? Liu Yingyuan was shocked when he heard this, and only then was he relieved after seeing Liu Fengluan shaking his head, "I have prepared 100,000 taels of gold for him, hoping to deal with him for a while, you must not agree to this matter, the gains outweigh the losses, now the emperor's body is not as good as before, Jue'er is just waiting a few more years to successfully ascend the throne, why take such a risk?" ”
"Brother, don't worry, I didn't agree, the stakes are very high, and I can still distinguish the priorities."
"That's fine, you don't care about this matter anymore, I'll deal with him." Liu Yingyuan's face was not very good, his voice was a little cold, the two talked for a while, and Liu Yingyuan left in a hurry.
This night is not destined to be a peaceful night, Chen Guiren in the palace started in the middle of the night, gave birth to a little prince at dawn, Dongfang Yi is nearly fifty years old, at this time can get a son, naturally it is the beginning, personally give the name "Yu", and plan to feast on all the princes and nobles tonight, to celebrate the birth of the Nine Emperors.
Shen Qian, who was sitting in the study, couldn't help but smile, this opportunity came at the right time, and their plan was believed to be very successful.
At the palace banquet that night, the Seventh Prince did not participate due to physical discomfort, and the same "due to illness" failed to enter the palace as well as Lord Yushi, Li Changfeng, but he was really sick, this disease was not an accident, but man-made, early this morning, Qingfeng quietly sneaked into the courtyard of Lord Yushi, put some ingredients in his breakfast, and let him go to the thatched house countless times a day.
I found a doctor, but I only said that I had eaten something unclean, and it was not a big deal, and I just took medicine and rested for a few days.
Those account books were quietly sent into Li Changfeng's study, Li Changfeng just went out to a thatched house, and when he came back, there was an extra box on the desk, and there was a note on it: Prime Minister Yuqing Mountain Secret Room Hidden Gold! Li Changfeng's face changed, and he immediately opened the wooden box and took out the account book inside and opened it, and he was immediately shocked when he saw it, this Liu Yingyuan had such a big courage! Li Changfeng is an upright person, he has taken the eradication of corrupt officials as his own responsibility all his life, and immediately called a small servant to change him into court clothes, Mrs. Li hurried over when she heard the words, and persuaded him: "Master, your illness is not cured yet, it will be cold outside, you better not go out." Li Changfeng shook his head, picked up the wooden box and walked out, the butler had already prepared a soft sedan chair to carry him to the gate, got into the carriage and hurried to the palace. The carriage stopped outside the palace gate, Li Changfeng got out of the carriage, walked over and flashed his waist card to the guards guarding the door, and the guards saw that it was Lord Yushi, and immediately let him in. Today's palace banquet was held in Changle Palace, over the years, the palace banquets will be held here, today is the emperor's banquet for the Nine Emperors, the second grade and above the adults have to bring their families to participate, Li Changfeng walked outside the Guangle Palace, the eunuch who was guarding the palace gate immediately saluted him, and said: "Lord Li, what is the matter at this time?" Li Changfeng nodded and said, "You go and report, this official has something important to report to the emperor!" When the little eunuch heard this, he immediately ran in and whispered to his master, that is, the emperor's personal eunuch Degonggong. Gonggong De glanced at the door, saw Li Changfeng standing there holding something, and immediately walked into the main hall and came to the emperor to whisper. The emperor's face did not change, nodded, and then stood up and left from the side, everyone was enjoying the song and dance, and they didn't care when they saw the emperor leaving, and the closest to the emperor's position was sitting on Prime Minister Liu Yingyuan's family, which was a great honor. The fourth prince stood up, raised his wine glass and said to Liu Yingyuan: "Uncle, the lord toasts you." The four princes, Dongfang Jue, gestured to the opposite side, and then drank it all. Liu Yingyuan immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Fourth Prince." Drink the wine from the glass. For a while, the hall was staggered, and it was not lively. After the emperor went out, he asked Gonggong De to call Li Changfeng to the side hall. The emperor knew Li Changfeng very well, if it weren't for something important, he wouldn't have come so late with illness, something important must have happened. After Li Changfeng walked into the side hall and saluted the emperor, he raised the wooden box in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister found this at home, I don't know who sent it, the minister saw the things inside, and felt very frightened, so he immediately came to report." Dongfang Yishang nodded at Gonggong De, who immediately walked over, took the wooden box in Li Changfeng's hand, and respectfully handed it to the emperor.
He took it, put it on his seat, opened it and saw that there was a note on the top, which was the one Li Changfeng saw, the emperor picked it up and looked at it, his face immediately changed greatly, his eyes narrowed slightly, he quickly took out the account book inside, and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the darker his face became, and finally it was directly black like the bottom of the pot. Dongfang Yi slammed the account book to the ground, his chest kept rising and falling, and Gonggong De immediately knelt on the ground and persuaded: "The emperor is angry, take care of the dragon body!" Indeed, the emperor is nearly fifty years old, and his health is not as good as before, and the imperial doctors often advise him not to get angry and hurt his body. Li Changfeng also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister implores the emperor to send troops to Yuqing Mountain to search the secret room!" A map is also attached to the box. Dongfang Yi nodded and said, "Xiao Dezi, go to the Praetorian Guard Camp to pass on my order, and let Mu Feng, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, immediately take five hundred Praetorian Guards to Yuqing Mountain immediately!"
Father-in-law De is over fifty years old, and only the emperor will call him "Little Dezi", so he was ordered to go down immediately. Li Changfeng said: "Your Majesty, now that the Prime Minister's family is still in the palace, should you take it immediately?" The emperor shook his head, and at this time, the anger in his heart was gradually suppressed, and his face was not so dark, and he said: "Don't worry, wait for the Praetorian Guards to find conclusive evidence before moving them, I want everyone to get the stolen goods, and don't give him a chance to quibble!"
A vicious light flashed in the emperor's eyes, the Liu family has gradually become rampant in recent years, and I don't know how many people in this court have already voted for Liu Yingyuan's door, he has long wanted to get rid of the Liu family, this is a great opportunity, it is really like heaven's help!
The Praetorian Guards were killed, and immediately quietly left the city under the leadership of Mu Feng, and advanced towards Yuqing Mountain according to the instructions on the map.
A team of people traveled very quickly, and they came to Yuqing Mountain in more than an hour, seeing that this was just a small hill and didn't think much about it, Mu Feng took out the map in his hand, looked at the route indication above, and finally found the big pine tree, he jumped on the trunk of the tree, groped carefully, and really touched a mechanism.
Everyone watched the ground in front of them slowly crack a hole, and looked at each other for a while, and after Mu Feng came down, they ordered twenty people to follow him, and the others were ordered to stay outside.
Everyone was holding torches in their hands, naturally they were not worried about the darkness in this secret room, and soon came to an end, Mu Feng groped on the wall for a while, pressed the mechanism, the stone door slowly opened, and the firelight illuminated the secret room, and everyone was also stunned by the scene in front of them, these Praetorian Guards couldn't help but swallow their saliva one by one, it was the first time in their lives to see so much gold, everyone was a little stupid.
Mu Feng was also stunned, but he quickly reacted and said to one of the Praetorian Guards: "You immediately rush back to the palace and report to the emperor that a large number of gold bricks have been found in the secret room of Yuqing Mountain!"
