Chapter 596: I Can't Afford It

Cheng Ruhai's expression was firm, as if he had seen through the situation.

"King Cheng's steward has just been arrested, and the emperor has already thought of it," Cheng Ruhai said, "Don't look at Su Kun and others making a big move in the southeast, they want to exhaust the forces and armaments of the imperial court, and when the imperial court is exhausted, King Cheng will send troops from the northwest again, fortunately, we found it early, and now the northwest frontier may have started a war." ”

Li Xu frowned slightly.

"Wait until the Northwest stabilizes." Cheng Ruhai looked at the palace.

The implication is that when the time comes, the emperor will free up his hands to move the Song family and the Xu family.

"My lord," Li Xu pondered for a moment and finally said, "There are still some doubts in King Cheng's case, you said that although King Cheng went to the northwest, where did he settle down?" The previous actions of Duogansi and Uszang were indeed provocative, and they were all secretly arranged by someone, and because of this, it was all the more necessary to have real evidence, in order to appease the Northwest Frontier, the imperial court had paid too much price over the years......"

Without waiting for Li Xu to finish speaking, Cheng Ruhai said: "According to what you say, do you want to appease Cheng Wang?"

Although the northwest is important, it is more urgent for King Cheng to rebel, and then go to investigate...... Delayed time, is it possible to wait for the king to build momentum first? Do you know how much Da Zhou will suffer at that time? ”

After Cheng Ruhai finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xu: "The emperor and the official have high hopes for you, if you want to make great achievements in the future, you must look far-reaching, don't care about the details, the case is to be investigated, but when you encounter such a big case, you can no longer stick to the rules."

When the imperial court sends troops and the northwest fights, the Chengwang case will come to an end, and the next thing to investigate is Chengwang's henchmen, you have to be prepared. ”

As soon as Cheng Ruhai's voice fell, he saw Meng Lingyun come out and say, "Lord Cheng, our eldest lady has a case to tell you." ”

Case?

If Ruhai had listened to it in the first two events, he might have listened to it, but now he doesn't need it.

The Xu family may have heard something, but now they finally can't sit still and come to him to show their goodwill.

Cheng Ruhai raised his head and looked at the sky: "The case is not solid, Miss Xu is worried, Miss Xu should continue to put paper kites!" "Do what a lady can do.

Cheng Ruhai walked forward after speaking.

"My lord," Meng Lingyun's expression was not as calm as usual, and he walked forward anxiously, seeing that he was about to step out of the palace, "Our eldest lady said that the stakes are very high...... It may be related to the Great Zhou ......"

Meng Lingyun was stopped by the officers and soldiers at the door.

Cheng Ruhai snorted coldly and continued to walk forward, he was afraid that there would be another change in this case, so he stayed in the palace these days, and now that everything is settled, he should also go back to the yamen.

"What's going on?" A carriage and horse arrived in front of the palace, and the eldest princess of Jiashan lifted the curtain, "Lord Cheng, what happened?" ”

Cheng Ruhai's eyes fell on the eldest princess of Jiashan.

"Eldest Princess." Cheng is like a salute before the sea.

The eldest princess of Jiashan got out of the carriage and looked at Meng Lingyun with a frown: "Did you hear it?" Miss Xu has something important to tell the adults. ”

Cheng Ruhai's face was natural, with a businesslike expression, and he did not answer the words of the eldest princess Jiashan: "The Criminal Department still has official business for the official to deal with......

The eldest princess of Jiashan didn't want to let Cheng Ruhai go like this: "I entered the palace today and heard that the queen mother is unwell and wants to see Miss Xu, is there any will?" ”

Cheng Ruhai shook his head, this eldest princess of Jiashan has been walking around for Xu Qinghuan recently, and the gate of Kunning Palace is about to be broken by her, the emperor's meaning is already obvious, but the eldest princess of Jiashan still doesn't seem to understand, and if she continues like this, she will definitely be implicated by the Xu family.

"Eldest princess," Meng Lingyun said, "My eldest lady really has a case and wants to ......."

Cheng Ruhai looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the door, and the officers and soldiers immediately pushed Meng Lingyun into the door, and then the vermilion palace gate was immediately closed.

The eldest princess of Jiashan frowned: "Didn't Lord Cheng hear it?" Miss Xu must have found an important clue. ”

Don't say that you can't go anywhere if you are locked up in the palace, even if you really have clues, the yamen doesn't need a female dependent.

Cheng Ruhai bowed down and said: "There is an explanation above, you are not allowed to enter the palace, the eldest princess can't see Miss Xu, let's go back!" ”

"You ......"

A trace of anger appeared on the face of the eldest princess of Jiashan: "If the case is delayed, I am afraid that Lord Cheng will not be able to afford it." ”

"The eldest princess is too worried." A smile appeared on Cheng Ruhai's face, he was the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xu Qinghuan was just a prisoner.

After Cheng Ruhai finished speaking, he ignored the eldest princess of Jiashan and turned around and got on the warm sedan chair.

The eldest princess of Jiashan raised her head and looked at the palace, let out a long sigh, and let people walk back into the carriage.

The carriage and horses galloped forward, and the eldest princess of Jiashan lifted the curtain and looked out again.

"Eldest Princess," the housekeeper's mother said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Miss Xu will definitely have arrangements." ”

Having said that, she still didn't know Miss Xu's intentions, Miss Xu asked her to come to the palace when she saw the paper kite, and she also knew that Cheng Ruhai would definitely not let them meet, and she said those words at the gate of the palace, not just to get away with it.

Hopefully, there will be a turnaround soon.

Before that, she wanted to spread the news so that everyone would know that Miss Xu had other clues, but Cheng Ruhai refused to pay attention to it.

Outside the palace, Li Xu watched all this quietly, and when he raised his head again, the paper kite in the sky was gone.

Li Xu's gaze deepened.

……

In the palace.

The emperor walked out of the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and after several busy days, he finally finished reading the recital on the table.

Although there were many things that worried him, he could feel the feeling of authority in his hands.

The Zhang family has reined in their arrogance and does not dare to interfere in the government and politics strongly, and several cases in Beijing have gradually gained a clue, except for ...... The letter that Xu sent me.

The Emperor rubbed his forehead, ready to put aside it for now.

The palace people stepped forward to serve the emperor and lay on the bed, and the main hall was lit with soothing incense.

The Emperor breathed a deep sigh of relief, closed his eyes and fell into a dream.

This sleep made him sleep very peacefully, as if he dreamed of the time when Taifu took him to study, the sun shone on his shoulders, and it was very warm and comfortable.

Soon everything around him changed, he sat on the throne, and the courtiers of the Great Zhou were kneeling below.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened to Fengyang."

An eager voice woke the Emperor from his slumber.

The emperor opened his eyes and saw Feng Shun standing aside.

"What's the matter?" The emperor asked.

Feng Shun's face was ugly, and his lips were pale: "Your Majesty, Fengyang...... Rebellion. ”

The emperor suddenly froze, and immediately became extremely sober: "What did you say? ”

"Fengyang Mansion...... It's the other way around. ”

Why Fengyang.

Didn't King Cheng flee to the northwest? How is Fengyang Mansion.

The emperor's forehead burst out: "Summoning the military department and the household department to enter the palace......" As soon as he said this, he immediately remembered, "Who sent the news?" Fengyang prefect? What about tantra? Bring it to me. ”
