By the time the father-in-law took back the dinner and put it in the side hall, it was already half an hour later.

Yun Chen sat on the chair, looking at these four dishes and one soup and felt much more comfortable, eating food is more expensive than much, seeing this dish, presumably the kitchen has put a lot of effort into it.

"Father-in-law, the dinner is exquisite, reward."

"Yes," Father-in-law Quan said with a smile, "This Chef Li has put a lot of effort into this dinner, and now His Majesty likes it, so it is not in vain for him to toss so much." ”

Yun Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything more, picked up the chopsticks and was about to start.

The father-in-law wanted to give Yun Chen cloth vegetables, but she refused. The meals are all very close, she can get them, and she is more used to picking up the dishes herself.

After dinner, Yun Chen took the geography book he had just read, returned to the apse and lay on the chaise longue to continue reading.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while and take a walk in the Imperial Garden?"

"No need." Yun Chen said without raising his head.

This geographical chronicle describes the topography and location of Yunguo and the surrounding countries, and of course, the famous scenic spots. The description is very detailed, which is exactly what Yun Chen needs now.

Understanding the distribution and geography of the country as a whole is fundamental to governance.

Thinking of this, she still didn't know the distribution of national forces in the Chenyun Continent. The geography focuses on the topography and the like, you can learn about the layout of each country, but there are some contents that cannot be found in the geography, thinking of this, Yun Chen closed the book and looked at the father-in-law waiting on the side and asked, "Father-in-law, is there any detailed information about the Chenyun Continent in the palace?" ”

Quan Gonggong thought for a while and said, "There are some library pavilions, but they are not comprehensive. However, the minions heard that the Hades Temple was for sale. ”

"Hades?"

"This Hades Temple is very mysterious, and in just ten years since its establishment, it has become the number one force in the Chenyun Continent. No one knows who the master of the temple is or where his headquarters are, but his branches are spread all over the country. ”

"All countries? This point is worth scrutinizing. Yun Chen pondered for a while and said, "Could it be that other forces are left to their own devices?" ”

"The minions heard that other forces and several countries had besieged the Hades Temple, but in the end, for some reason, they all failed."

"Those are too far away from us right now, don't think about them yet. Wait until later......" Yunchen didn't continue to talk about this, but the whole father-in-law knew what he wanted to say. It is true that those cloud countries that are now in a third-class country are too far away.

"Find a way to let people go to the Hades Temple to get the detailed information of the Chenyun Continent, don't let others know, there will be extraneous branches."

"Yes"

The next morning, Yun Chen had just finished breakfast and there was a noise outside, and Yun Chen motioned for his father-in-law to go out and have a look.

After a while, Quan Gonggong came in and said, "It's the prime minister who led the hundred officials outside the palace, and I want to come to see Your Majesty, do you want to go back to the dormitory and lie down first?" ”

"What are you doing lying down, they can't hold it back, it's time for me to go to the show." Yun Chen said playfully. "Tell them all to go to the Qianyun Palace."

"Yes" and exited the door.

Outside the door, the minister saw the whole father-in-law come out, and they all stared at him one by one.

The father-in-law saluted the ministers and said, "Left and right, Your Majesty asked you to lead the hundred officials to the Qianyun Palace." ”

"Father-in-law, how is Your Majesty's health, if it is very serious, you don't need to get up and go to the Qianyun Palace, you have to rest more, we are just worried that Your Majesty will come and see." It was Su Zhiqing, the secretary of the military department, who spoke, and he was also the head of the Su family of the four major families.

Father-in-law Quan smiled harmlessly and said, "Su Shangshu, Your Majesty has already gotten better, so please move to the Qianyun Palace." ”

Seeing this, the other ministers knew that they couldn't find out any news, so they walked in the direction of the Qianyun Hall one by one.

Inside the dormitory of Qingyun Palace

Lian Mo was changing into court clothes for Yun Chen.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in, and he was so frightened that he wanted to call someone, but fortunately he was stopped by Yun Chen.

"It's your own person, you go down first."

"Yes, the slave and maid are gone."

After Lian Mo walked out, Long and his entourage saluted, took a piece of information, handed it to Yun Chen, and said, "This is the distribution of the power of the officials in the capital and the connections between the various families. There are also officials who have embezzled and taken bribes and plotted to murder His Majesty here. ”

Yun Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "So fast?" He took it and looked at it briefly.

Long Yi explained, "Long Wei has been secretly collecting information about officials so that his master can need it from time to time. ”

I see. "Now that all the civil and military officials are waiting for me in the Qianyun Palace, I don't have so much time to look at these, so you can pick the important ones first."

"Yes, the more powerful ones in the capital are the four national mansions and the four major families. From the current point of view, the power of the four major families is stronger. The four major families are the Su family, the Xu family, the Zeng family, and the Ye family. Su Zhiqing, the head of the Su family, is the secretary of the military department, and the young master Su Junhao, the Su family is mainly engaged in the mining industry; Xu Haonan, the head of the Xu family, is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the young master Xu Lizhao, the Xu family is mainly engaged in the tea industry; The head of the Zeng family is Zeng Zeshen, the head of the household department, and Zeng Mingxuan, the young master, who is mainly engaged in the rice and grain industry; Ye Minghui, the head of the Ye family, is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the young master Ye Yuqi, and the Ye family mainly operates restaurants. ”

The four princes are Qingguogong, Yasukuni, Zhenguo, and Fuguo. Qingguo Gong Cheng Weize is also the left minister of the dynasty, the son Cheng Lixuan; Yasukuni Duke Deng Junxi is also the right minister; And the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo died in the palace change fifteen years ago, and the prince ......" Saying this, Long Yi couldn't help but glance up at Yun Chen

"What's wrong?" Yun Chen felt his strange gaze and couldn't help but ask.

"Tang Ziyi, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion, and Qiao Mohan, the prince of the Fuguo Mansion, were admitted to the harem by you four years ago."

Hearing Long Yi's words, Yun Chen felt that there were ten thousand horses boiling in his heart.

Four years ago? That's right, she remembered. Originally, because I had just accepted the memory of the original owner, it was a little vague, but now it's all clear.

The original owner was only eleven years old at the time, and he began to recruit beautiful men. But that's not the point, the point is that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Fuguo died because of the rescue, and as a result, you put the son of someone into the harem. Are you worthy of those loyal servants? Yun Chen was messy in the wind.

Yun Chen coughed a few times uncomfortably, feeling a little weak in his heart. Although she didn't do it, but now that she has taken someone else's body, the matter caused by the original owner is naturally solved by her.

"Well, that's it for now. You go down first, and I'll see the rest for myself. ”

"Yes, what about the subordinates who are close to protect you, or?"

Yun Chen thought for a while and said, "Get close, it's not safe lately." After a pause, he continued, "You wait a minute, go and gather the dragon guard first, and someone will come to summon you later, and you will follow him on a mission." ”

"Yes, the subordinates will definitely complete the task." After saying that, he disappeared again......

Yun Chen opened the door of the hall and walked out, and the slaves and eunuchs outside the door saluted him one after another. She waved at them casually, motioning for them to stand down.

"Father-in-law, you go to the underground palace first........."

Yun Chen didn't want to bother the Grandmaster about this, but the opportunity was rare, and she was reluctant to miss it.

After ordering good things, Yun Chen walked towards the Qianyun Hall according to the diameter of his memory.

When Yun Chen walked outside the hall, the eunuch guarding the door was busy opening the door of the hall and saluting. He waved at them and walked straight inside.

When the civil and military officials saw Yun Chen coming in, they all stopped talking and stood back in their positions. The huge Jinluan Hall instantly fell silent.

When Yun Chen walked up to the high platform and sat on the dragon chair, the hundred officials below shouted long live and bowed.

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Yun Chen looked around at the person kneeling on the main hall and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today, I heard that you Aiqing are very concerned about my body, and I am very moved." Speaking of this, she deliberately paused and looked at the officials below. As expected, I saw the expressions of the officials below as if they were ghosts.

She continued, "I have so many people who care about it, so it's fine. So you can rest assured. ”

There was silence below.

It was thanks to yesterday's events that I had died for the rest of my life, and now I can realize it. Let me know that I must be kind to loyal ministers, know how to make good use of people, and accept advice. ”

"It's just ......"

It's still quiet down there.

But her heart was lifted up by her sentence "just".

"It's just that those evil ministers still have to be dealt with harshly. It's like I was injured yesterday and fell into a coma. The commander of the forbidden army specially inspected the Taihe Hall for me, and guess what? Yun Chen asked leisurely leaning back on the dragon chair.

Damn, how do we know how.

But that's just their mental activity, and on the surface they're very quiet, trying to reduce their presence.

"Hey, don't you say it? Since you have spoken, I will tell you. A layer of oil was poured on the ground where I fell yesterday, don't you say it's strange. I don't even know how the oil got to the Taihe Palace, do you know Aiqing? ”

There was silence below, but some of the officials were already shivering.

"It's okay, everyone can guess. Like running over by yourself? What better than flying by yourself? ”

There was silence down there.

"Let's talk about it, let me listen to it and listen to the advice."

At this point, several officials suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.

Yun Chen glanced at them a few times and shouted to the forbidden army at the door, "Someone is coming, drag them down." ”

I secretly said in my heart that the combat effectiveness of these officials is not good, and the few minions who participated in the murder fell so easily. must have been caught with some fatal handle, otherwise these few would not have the courage to participate in the murder.

After the forbidden army dragged them down, Yun Chen said again, "Since everyone is so shy, then it's up to me to ask questions." ”

"Hmm~~" Yun Chen pretended to look around, and suddenly said, "It's better to be Zuo Xiang, how about you talk about it?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister, the old minister......"

"Then Zeng Shangshu, you can tell me?" Before Zuo Xiang finished speaking, he was robbed by Yun Chen.

Zuo Xiang's words were choked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down in one breath, and his face was flushed with suffocation.

"This, Your Majesty, how can the old minister know about this kind of thing, Your Majesty, don't embarrass the old minister."

"It's embarrassing for you, so Jiang Shangshu, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister is ...... to you," Jiang Zhize suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"Hey, I'm just asking you to guess, why are you so excited?" Before Jiang Zhize finished speaking, he was robbed by Yun Chen.

At this time, the whole father-in-law walked softly from the side hall to the side of the high platform, panting slightly, and nodded to Emperor Chen quietly.

Emperor Chen looked at it and hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

Having said that, if the hundred officials don't know what she means, then they are fools. Emperor Chen began to fight back, and caught them off guard.

Yun Chen can say it directly in the court, she must have conclusive evidence.

After this time, the courtiers had a different understanding of Emperor Chen.

Was the brutality of the past nature or a pretense? If she's been pretending, she's terrible.

"Zuo Xiang, Zeng Shangshu, Jiang Shangshu, you can't open your mouth, so I can only invite you to sit in the Criminal Department, so maybe you will want to speak."

"No, Your Majesty, spare your life, it's Zeng Shangshu, he is the mastermind, I'm just giving him a convenience. Your Majesty, please spare your life...... "It is Jiang Zhize who is begging for mercy."

Among the many officials of the Cloud Kingdom, nobles accounted for the majority, while a small part were commoners. This Jiang Zhize belongs to a small number of officials, he studied hard for more than 20 years, and finally climbed to the position of secretary of the ministry, because of the greed of the moment and the demagogy of others and went the wrong way, of course, he had to die and struggle.

"Your Majesty's ministers are loyal to you, and my Qingguo Mansion is working with the ancestors of Yunguo to build the foundation of the country, but it is not said that it will be caught."

Zuo Xiang is worthy of his aristocratic background, and what he says is righteous and full of confidence.

As the saying goes, if you lose, you don't lose the battle, Yun Chen is very disdainful of Jiang Zhize's behavior.

"Oh, really?" Yun Chen looked at Zeng Ze and said, "Zeng Aiqing, what about you?" Nothing to say? ”

Zeng Zeshen suddenly laughed wildly, and the ministers below looked jealous, but Yun Chen was not surprised. He looked at him with a blank face.

After laughing for a while, Zeng Ze smiled carefully, looked at Yun Chen with sharp eyes, and shouted, "Faint Jun, you deserve to die." ”

"Bold, even insulting the Holy One." Seeing that someone was insulting His Majesty, Quan Gonggong interrupted him sharply.

Yun Chen raised his hand to stop him and said, "Let him say, I'm also curious about how I should die." ”

"That's right, I did that thing in the Taihe Temple. But so what, how have you been sitting on the throne for so many years of mediocrity and cruelty. If you say that you will beat and kill officials who do not agree with your wishes, you will kill them, and you don't care about the people at all. I am doing harm to the people. ”

"So you want to rebel."

"Rebellion? Wechen didn't dare. Wechen is just getting rid of the faint king for the people of the world, hahaha. Zeng Ze smiled madly when he said this, and his entire facial features looked muddy and terrifying.

"I originally thought that as long as you died, everything would be fine. I didn't expect you to be so fatal, fall from such a high platform, and actually didn't die. Zeng Ze said fiercely.

Yun Chen smiled indifferently, sighed and said, "Alas, I disappointed you, there is a sentence I don't know if you have heard, the scourge will last for a thousand years." ”

The courtiers originally looked at Zeng Ze and insulted Emperor Chen, but they didn't expect Emperor Chen to come to such a sentence, and they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

"Hmph, if you want to arrest me, it depends on whether my Zeng family agrees." Since Zeng Zeshen was broken by Emperor Chen, he simply broke the jar and threatened Emperor Chen.

The Zeng family has existed for hundreds of years, and in the past ten years, it has been in power with several major families, and its power is huge, and there are people in all departments. Moreover, the major families are intertwined, and they affect the whole body. He decided that Emperor Chen was doing to his family.

"Well, I know that the Zeng family has a lot of power in the Cloud Country, so I made some preparations in advance." Yun Chen said a little playfully.

"You, what did you do?" Zeng Ze had some ominous premonitions.

"It's nothing, it's just that I invited a few royal grandmasters to take Long Wei to Zeng's house as a guest in advance." Yun Chen said lightly.

"I guess I'm almost back at this time." Yun Chen was afraid that it would not be enough to stimulate him, so he added.

His words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Zeng Ze's detail, the royal grandmaster and Long Wei dealt with the Zeng family together, does the Zeng family still have a way to live?

Although there was turmoil in Yun fifteen years ago, and the royal grandmaster also folded many strong people, Yun Guo was one of the super powers before, and the emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. Moreover, fifteen years ago, the situation was critical, and the Zeng family did not want others to criticize them.

"You faint king, I'm going to kill you." Suddenly, Zeng Zeshen suddenly mobilized the spiritual power in his body and smashed it towards the high platform.

"Your Majesty~" Father-in-law Quan shouted when he saw this scene.

The ministers below looked at them one by one, not because they didn't want to go to Emperor Chen, but because they were shocked by Zeng Zexi's crazy actions.

They didn't expect Zeng Zeshen to be so bold and actually make a move against Emperor Chen on the Jinluan Palace, so they forgot to react one by one.

The forbidden army guarding outside the hall heard the sound and immediately rushed into the hall.

"Bang~" The sound of the object hitting the ground made the sluggish ministers react, and they all looked at the place where the sound came from.

The result was to their surprise, it was Zeng Zeshen who was thrown to the ground.

As the head of the Zeng family, Zeng Ze's cultivation was in the middle stage of the Spirit Venerable, although it was not very high, but it was out of reach for many people. As a result, he was stopped by someone and thrown out. The people below looked wonderful.

"Hmph, just this point of cultivation, and dare to stab in front of the palace, it's really beyond my strength." A powerful voice came from the high platform.

Everyone looked at the high platform, and saw a man in a black robe standing in front of the desk, tall and thin, with a long beard, and his beard and hair were all white.

Yun Chen stood up from the dragon chair, walked to the front of the man, clasped his hands into fists and saluted, and said, "Yun Chen has seen the Grandmaster. ”

Yun Chen had never seen the Imperial Grandmaster, but there was such a cultivator who still came to save her at a critical moment, except for Long Wei, there was only the Imperial Grandmaster. It's just that I don't know who it is, so I call it a grandmaster in general.

The forbidden army and the ministers saw which man Emperor Chen called the grandmaster, and hurriedly knelt on the ground. The only one who can make the emperor call a grandmaster is the grandmaster of the royal family, who has hardly shown up.

The Imperial Grandmaster is the guardian of the Cloud Country, and he is very powerful, and other forces are very jealous and afraid of him. Otherwise, Zeng Zeshen would not have gone crazy when he heard that the royal grandmaster had gone to Zeng's house.

"Boy Chen, okay, you can recognize my identity at a glance, you are not the same as what I heard. My name is Yun Che, and I am your grandfather. The man didn't look at the ministers below, but waved his hand to Yun Chen indifferently.

"Yes, Uncle Grandpa."

"Although I know that Long Wei is by your side, I can't help but come and see the old man."

Yun Chen looked at him and smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zu for coming to the rescue this time." ”

Yun Che waved his hand absently and said, "By the way, we have already settled the matter of the Zeng family." The other old men have all gone to your Qingyun Palace, you should first deal with your court in advance before coming over. After speaking, without waiting for Yun Chen to react, he disappeared without a trace.
