Before Chinese New Year's Eve, the Qinzhou private mining case was finally concluded. The main culprit Wang Shichao naturally abandoned the city, confiscated his family property, all the men were exiled, and the female dependents were confiscated into the government as slaves. All Qinzhou officials involved in this case were all cut off and abandoned the city, and their family property was confiscated, and those who did not report it because they were coerced or feared were confiscated and their families were confiscated and their families were enslaved.

Su Rang also carefully investigated the seized secret correspondence between Wang Shichao and Chang'an officials, several of which were correspondence with Liang Jingrui. Both of them were very cautious, and the letters used secret words, Su Rang studied for a long time, and suspected that a large amount of the gold that Wang Shichao had secretly dug up had flowed into Liang Jingrui's pocket.

Su Rang didn't dare to hand over such a letter directly to Dali Temple, so he had to secretly bring it back to Chang'an and hand it over to Yuwentai.

A few days later, Dali Temple received some letters, all of which were correspondence between Wang Shichao and several Chang'an officials, but the ones with Liang Jingrui were missing. Dali Temple and Yushitai trembled, for fear of mistakes, worked overtime day and night, according to this list one by one arrest and detailed investigation, there was no mistake or omission.

Soon Hou Mo Chen Chong also handed over the folds from Qinzhou, and all those in the local army in Qinzhou who had been ironclad people would be dealt with according to military law.

Seeing that Yu Wentai had put away Liang Jingrui's letters, Monaro couldn't help but ask: "This is an opportunity to eradicate Liang Jingrui, why did the prime minister ......?"

Yu Wentai smiled coldly: "This is an opportunity, but not the best opportunity." These letters were written in secret language, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not cry out for injustice. It is useless to make irrefutable evidence. He pondered for a moment and said, "Liang Jingrui, an old fox, this private mining case, Gu can get rid of a few more of his party friends, and it is already a harvest." You can't be in a hurry to deal with him, boil the frog in warm water. He'll make mistakes. ”

This case, in practical sense, not only copied the private mines in Qinzhou and confiscated the gold that Wang Shichao had privately embezzled, but the imperial court immediately sent people to take over the gold mines, and also got rid of several Yuwentai's political enemies by the way. Those people usually impeached one after another, righteously and sternly attacking Yuwentai for controlling the government and despising the emperor, but turning around and doing this kind of thing, how could Yuwentai let them go easily.

This New Year, Yuwentai had a very comfortable time. On Chinese New Year's Eve, he entered the palace to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner held by the Supreme People. During the banquet, everyone knew that Yuwentai had successfully implemented the six edicts through the Qinzhou case, and they were quite complacent, and they came to toast one after another, and they said all the beautiful words. After one night, Yuwentai was also a little drunk.

Feeling that he had drunk a little too much, he got up and went outside to blow the wind and scatter the wine. The drums in the hall made his head swell and hurt.

He stood at the corner of the palace tower and looked into the distance by the railing. On the cold Chinese New Year's Eve, every household hung lanterns at the door, and Chang'an City was brilliantly lit.

The starry sky on the winter night is exceptionally clear, and the stars are sprinkled all over the deep blue sky, shining brightly, echoing with the lights of Chang'an City in the distance.

Spring goes to autumn, and another year has passed.

survived another year in this troubled era.

He thought to himself, and he didn't know if that little thing had eaten Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and what he was doing now. It should be very lonely to celebrate the New Year alone. This palace banquet is really boring, let's quit the palace banquet next year and spend the New Year with her.

was thinking dizzily when a light voice sounded behind him: "Prime Minister." ”

He looked back and saw that it was a bright girl in full costume. Wearing a cross bun, full of pearls, wearing a garnet-red miscellaneous draped hairdress, with a long curtain hanging between his arms, the triangular hair under the skirt is like a swallow in the night breeze, light and agile like a fairy. She was white and beautiful, with petaled lips and a five-petal plum blossom-shaped forehead between her forehead, looking at him with affection.

In the past two years, he has met Gao Ping several times in the palace by chance, and he already thinks that she is the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in the past few years. And she is extraordinarily beautiful under her costume tonight, which is really a little thrilling.

"It turned out to be Princess Gaoping." He owes a debt.

Gao Ping squatted slightly, and said in a soft voice: "It's not the first time we've met, the prime minister doesn't have to be formal, you can call my nickname Yongxing." ”

Yu Wentai was a little embarrassed and asked, "What's the matter with the princess?" ”

"Nothing." Yongxing lowered his eyes and smiled, with ten thousand styles between his eyebrows, "I just heard that the minister also came to the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, so I wanted to come and take a look." ”

She said boldly and straightforwardly, but her face turned red, and she half-bowed her head a little shyly. The handsome Langjun, who generously gave her a private house in the past, is now a very popular minister, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. Two years have passed, and there is more maturity and vicissitudes between his eyebrows and eyes, but he has become more and more handsome and straight. Yongxing thought about it, and couldn't help but rejoice infinitely in his heart.

He's about to become her husband.

His father originally wanted to marry the sixteen-year-old Princess Shunchang to Yuwentai. After she heard about it, she ran to the Yuan Bao Torch and cried and made trouble, degraded Princess Shunchang, whose biological mother was not of high status, to be worthless, and also told Yuwentai about giving her a private house two years ago, which proved that Yuwentai also had a heart for her. Yuan Baoju originally doted on her, seeing her so persistent, and knowing that she did have a private house in Nanyang that I didn't know who gave it, so I agreed to let her marry Yuwentai.

On the day of the marriage, Yongxing secretly hid outside the Qinghua Hall and watched Yuwentai. She thought that when he heard about this marriage, he knelt down and thanked him with joy, but she didn't expect him to be calm and didn't know what to say to the emperor.

Maybe he was used to seeing the scene, and he was already pampered. Yongxing thought so.

Since ancient times, there has been no minister who has refused a royal marriage, not to mention that she has confidence in her appearance. Two years ago, she was just a little girl who had not yet grown, but now she is slim, and in the harem, she is exposed to those concubines to please and compete for favor.

That time I went to worship the Buddha in Yongchang Temple, the royal temple, and even the little novice in the temple saw her, and the rosary in her hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

She knows that no man will be silent to the peerless beauty, and she believes that Yu Wentai will be moved when she sees her now.

Yongxing felt that she and Yuwentai had the right to one and the other was good-looking, and they were a natural pair. After marriage, she will be a good wife and mother, raise eyebrows with him, give birth to children for him, and try her best to bridge the relationship between him and the royal family, so that he can be a loyal minister and a good general, and be the father's son-in-law.

So tonight, taking advantage of the night, with such a magnificent imagination, she came dressed up to surprise him.

Yuwentai was dumbfounded. Gao Ping is now fifteen years old, and his identity is very different from that of two years ago, are these young girls so unreserved?

He took two steps back and said, "Yuwentai, a rough man who is on tiptoe, what is there to see. There are all foreign ministers here, and there is a lot of inconvenience, so the princess should go back quickly. ”

Yongxing half-lowered his head and smiled shyly, and said, "Yes." The palace ladies also said that I was anxious and laughed at me. When you get married in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to see each other every day? ”

When she said this, she raised her eyes, glanced at Yu Wentai, blushed, and quickly lowered her eyes, only the long eyelashes like a fan fluttered.
