Chapter XXVIII
Although he cut off contact with this gang after that day, he may find out what else he has done to this point, and I am afraid that with Zhao Shengmin's upright character, he will not end well.
Cold sweat broke out.
I couldn't help but look to the side because of my leg disease, Zhao Shengyi, who was sitting in a high position on the side.
Zhao Shengyi was as indifferent as usual, dressed in court clothes, but his eyes narrowed slightly as always, which made people feel that there was an evil spirit.
I don't know what he's thinking.
There is an indescribable resemblance to the person on the dragon chair.
The one on the dragon chair, the dragon robe.
looks similar to Zhao Shengyi and Zhao Shengmin, but compared with them, they have a little more sense of vicissitudes brought by time, but they also have more mature charm.
The hair is already a little gray.
The expression is cold and arrogant, and there is a little more unpredictable between the domineering.
"Then Yi'er, do you know anything for yourself?"
Narrow eyes looked at Zhao Shengyi.
Zhao Shengyi stepped forward in response.
"As my father said, my sons have also found some clues these days."
Zhao Shengyi glanced at Bai Guoan, and Bai Guoan trembled in fright.
"Oh?"
The man on the dragon chair said expressionlessly, and his tone did not fluctuate.
"Erchen has found out these days, this bandit is actually not a small gang around the imperial city, those gangs are not a problem, but they are just some bandits that are not successful, I believe that if the third emperor brother makes a move, he will definitely be able to directly cure it."
The implication is that there is no backer.
No one colluded.
Naturally, it may not be true, but this trick is clever to lead the troubles to the east first.
If there is no collusion, then both of them benefit.
If there is, Zhao Shengyi is just wrong in the information, and he will find a scapegoat according to his means, and Zhao Shengmin can't find out for a while that he is ineffective, and the emperor doesn't like to do things badly.
"Then who do you want to carry out this assassination?"
The emperor naturally heard this calculation, but he did not arrange it according to his wishes. Instead, ask other questions.
Zhao Shengyi naturally knew that he would not get his wish.
"In the past few days, Erchen has found out that these people are the actions of the so-called big gangs that have become more and more active in private in recent days."
"Oh? I don't know this, and no one has reported it, so I don't know what caused their recent restlessness? ”
As he spoke, he glanced at these civil and military generals who lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
If no one reports it, how do you want them to report it?
There is indeed nothing unusual under their jurisdiction, and the Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department, who are specialized in these secret intelligence matters, have been entangled in other matters related to the elimination of bandits in the past few days, and they are also unreasonable to take these subtle matters into account.
And this Zhao Shengyi has always had information that does not know the source, but it is surprisingly accurate.
"It seems that in recent days, there have been disasters in some areas, but the relief funds sent by His Majesty a few days ago have not been in place, which has caused injustice among the people, and even some gangs want to rebel on this ground, and this assassination is the initial ......."
As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar everywhere.
Conspiracy?
This is no small topic.
Moreover, according to the prince's remarks, it is not only those gang members outside the government and the opposition who will have an accident.
There are also those officials who have caused the people's grievances by withholding food and salaries, and I am afraid that they will also be implicated.
When the emperor heard this, his expression changed slightly, and the darkness in his eyes increased by one percent.
"If this matter continues to be investigated, it will be handed over to the prince."
Zhao Shengyi's eyes flashed with triumph when he heard this.
The emperor saw it clearly.
He spoke again.
"On the other hand, just in case, the bandits on the edge of the imperial city will be handed over to Min'er."
Hearing Zhao Shengyi's remarks, although he was surprised, he couldn't interject, and Zhao Shengmin, who couldn't cope with it, could only cope with this errand that was a chicken rib when he heard it.
This prince is getting more and more terrifying. I think it was because of his leg disease that he didn't take it seriously, after all, the military power can't be handed over to a wasted person.
With military power, why worry about the throne?
But in recent days, although Zhao Shengyi has rarely been in court due to physical reasons, there must have been an uproar every time.
More and more noticeable.
And the arrival of Dr. Bai a few days ago gave him signs of recovering from his leg disease.
This move is getting harder and harder.
After the court, the ministers discussed a lot, and the emperor summoned Zhao Shengyi and Bai Guoan separately to stay.
Bai Guoan was afraid to face the emperor.
It is different from being afraid of Zhao Shengyi's being threatened and unpredictable.
This kind of fear seems to be out of the natural fear and vigilance of creatures that are stronger than themselves, too aggressive and deterrent, but it is not the shock brought by Zhao Shengmin's temperament out of solemnity.
I'm afraid it's the so-called royal spirit.
And Bai Guoan was originally a submissive person, and now he is also in an embarrassing situation, and he is even more afraid of this repressive temperament.
On the contrary, Zhao Shengyi looked very natural, with one hand on his head, sitting in a wheelchair and watching this seemingly funny scene between a predator and a prey.
The one on the dragon chair finally spoke.
"I heard what Yi'er said, but the doctor Bai who cured his leg disease is the daughter of Bai Aiqing's family?"
Although it was just an ordinary question, Bai Guoan couldn't help but look at Zhao Shengyi, hoping to find some help, and his tone trembled slightly.
"Yes, yes......"
"I heard that she still has a marriage contract with Wei Aiqing?"
The emperor's tone was unwavering, but this dirty deal was suddenly dug up, and Bai Guoan was scared for a while.
"Back to Your Majesty...... Indeed it is. ”
Looking at Zhao Shengyi's expression again, he was a little displeased.
Although Bai Guoan did nothing, he was still proficient in learning based on people's faces, and immediately understood that this conversation was the meaning of the prince.
"Yi'er's leg disease has not healed, and she still needs to keep Dr. Bai to treat it, but if you do this, I am afraid that it will delay the happy event of Bai Aiqing's family......"
"No, nothing, the marriage contract is canceled."
Bai Guoan hurriedly said in order to curry favor with Zhao Shengyi.
"The little girl is not here, Xia Guan is thinking of finding a good place for her to lead this marriage, if it is so inappropriate, it will be canceled."
Hearing this, the emperor nodded, glanced at Zhao Shengyi, and saw a smile that seemed to be true and fake.
"Then it's not good if Bai Aiqing breaks the contract by herself, after all, this matter is still related to Yi'er's matter, so it's better for me to make this decision."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is really considerate to your subordinates......"
Bai Guoan opened his mouth to be polite, and the emperor and Zhao Shengyi were a little tired of hearing it.
After Bai Guoan finished speaking, the emperor hurriedly sent him away.
Then the conversation between the rest of the two was completely different from the atmosphere just now.
"Dare to ask my father, what is the reason for summoning his sons? Is it just to let Erchen see this scene? ”
The tone is not friendly, even a little cold.
"What Yi'er asks for is naturally for you to see if your father is done."
The emperor finally had some expression on his face, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes.
Zhao Shengyi couldn't see his expression the most, but he didn't show his lifeless color, but narrowed his eyes, and hooked his lips as if he was smiling.
"Yi'er naturally wants to thank her father."
The tone makes a simple appearance, but the expression is unlikable.
"Oh, let me come."
and no more bickering.
After the emperor finished speaking, he got up and walked out, and Zhao Shengyi silently followed.
The two of them walked to the imperial study in a moment, and dismissed the maids and guards, and there were only two people left in the room for a while.
"What does Father mean by this?"
Zhao Shengyi pretended not to know about the deal between the emperor and him.
"Yi'er, don't pretend anymore, just say it. How much do you find out about this? ”
This is what this old fox should look like, why pretend to be a loving father.
"The list of the main officials involved who can be shaken is about already there, and this sect involves a lot, if they are all cleared, I am afraid that it will be bloody for a while."
"Oh? Those officials are related, but the evidence is complete? ”
"No, the evidence is complete, it's just those few people who can't be shaken...... Thinking that the father and the emperor also have a number, the sons will not repeat it. ”
"Heh, sure enough, but if you are everyone, it will be sooner or later if you do too much...... So how many branches and leaves can be pruned? ”
There was rarely a trace of obvious killing intent in the emperor's eyes.
"It's going to take some time...... But it must be faster than the brocade guard, if they don't hinder it. ”
It does sound funny, but the public family is hindering people on the same side from doing things, but Zhao Shengyi's power is in the dark, and no one knows about it except for himself.
It can't be made public, but it needs to be hidden, and even the emperor only knows that it is a secret organization, and the rest is unknown.
"Heh, but it's okay to investigate, this time it's up to you to do it, Jinyiwei called to follow Min'er to investigate the bandits."
Zhao Shengyi nodded, naturally satisfied with the result and arrangement.
"But when it comes to bandits, it really has nothing to do with the people in the court?"
The emperor's mind was naturally meticulous, and he did not miss anything that could be exploited.
"It's not about it, it's something connected to the big gangs, it seems to be a rudder or something, a separate organization. Needless to say, I have a good idea of the relationship between these sizes. ”
But I'm not going to explain it.
That's it.
"That's hard work. Go back, don't work too hard. ”
began to pretend to be intimate again.
Zhao Shengyi sneered in his heart, so hypocritical.
"Then the minister retired first."
He drove his wheelchair to the door.
Suddenly, I heard the yellow-robed man talking behind his back.
"That Doctor Bai, is it really possible to cure your leg disease, so you are so partial or ......"
Zhao Shengyi stopped, but did not speak.
"As a father, I just want to remind you, don't see yourself clearly, don't regret what you deserve when you can't get it......"
Zhao Shengyi naturally knew what he was talking about. ~
"Father, rest assured, your sons will not repeat your mistakes. In contrast, you might as well think carefully about how to uproot the tree you were carrying in the first place. ”
The man behind him looked at Zhao Shengyi's back, and his eyes seemed to be nostalgic.
Like, worthy of her child, her temper is similar, her speech is similar, and even the elusiveness between her eyebrows and eyes is similar.
It's just that he doesn't like to laugh like she does.
