Tong Xuan stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, and was full of respect.

Emperor Tianlong stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, and said a little tiredly: "You say." ”

"Your Majesty, ten days ago, General Hua Shao led his troops to crusade against Baili, and the minister Qingming returned to the northwest and guarded the border pass!"

"Oh? Nowadays? ”

"Yes." Tong Xuan nodded, his tone full of sonorousness, "Last year, due to the snowstorm, the military affairs in the northwest have been greatly affected, and the ministers have been suppressed according to the emperor's will, which has slightly calmed the morale of the army. Now the time for the minister to leave is not short, and now it is indeed time to go back. ”

Obviously, this remark should not be mentioned now, but Tong Xuan put this matter on the table, with only one purpose - to let Emperor Tianlong see the situation in front of him clearly, and carefully consider whether the position of the queen is abolished or not.

Sure enough, after listening to Tong Xuan's words, Emperor Tianlong groaned.

Hua Xiyan blinked, took a step forward, and smiled harmlessly: "General Tong is too worried, since this decree was issued by the imperial court, it represents the emperor's will, even if the general is not there, other officials will inevitably implement it completely." ”

"How can this be?" Tong Xuan urgently retorted.

Hua Xiyan smiled more meaningfully: "Oh? What's the difference? The people are just acting according to the doubts, but whether this is conveyed by the general or not, what does it matter? ”

"My Li family's army has always guarded the northwest, and the military and the people are integrated, which is naturally different from the local officials! ...... again" Speaking of this, Tong Xuan's voice suddenly stopped, because he realized that he had gotten into Hua Xiyan's sleeve.

Hua Xiyan looked at him with a smile, and his moist eyes seemed to be saying to him: You say, why don't you say it?

Tong Xuan's handsome face sank, his eyes were already cloudy, and now it seemed to be dripping from the cloud.

"Chang Yan is right, he is not in a hurry for a while, he has not returned to Beijing for a long time, doesn't General Tong miss this place in the capital?" Emperor Tianlong opened his mouth and echoed Hua Xiyan's words, "Stay in the capital for a few days first, and don't be in a hurry to defend the matter." ”

"The Emperor's ......"

"That's it!" Emperor Tianlong interrupted Tong Xuan's words impatiently, waved his hand and said, "This matter can be discussed later!" ”

"Chang Yan Yunqi, all Aiqing, come in with me!" Emperor Tianlong paused as he walked towards the imperial study, and glanced back at Empress Li with a complicated expression.

"The queen will go back to the palace to rest first!"

After all, he was affected by Tong Xuan's words, and after all, he was afraid of Li Yao's army.

Hua Xiyan was not in a hurry at all, because she knew that even if Empress Li couldn't do anything today, then her position would definitely not be stable.

Three days, Huaxi Yan guessed, three days at most.

The spacious study room suddenly became crowded due to the entry of several people. In fact, it is also the emperor who is the emperor's office, where is the place to discuss the government?

Hua Xiyan found a place and sat down, adjusting a comfortable posture for herself.

Emperor Tianlong didn't pay attention to her immoral and arrogant posture, but asked Xiao Tianyou, "Zuo Xiang, how is the matter of the Yang family?" ”

He has been seriously ill for so many days, and the affairs of the Yang family should indeed be dealt with.

When Xiao Tianyou heard this, he respectfully said: "Back to the emperor, the imperial history has thoroughly investigated the Yang family, and indeed found a lot of coins in the Yang family. Moreover, the field where Yang's furniture minted coins was also found out by the imperial history. ”

Xiao Tianyou handed over an account book to Kang Shun and handed it to Emperor Tianlong, as expected, Emperor Tianlong was not much surprised.

"How many coins have been found?" Emperor Tianlong's voice was flat and bland, and he couldn't hear any joy, anger and sorrow.

"A total of seven million taels of silver."

Emperor Tianlong's hand paused, as if he wanted to slap the table, but he held back vigorously, and asked nonchalantly, "What's the use?" ”

"In addition to the expenses of the Yang family itself, it seems to be ......"

Xiao Tianyou stopped at this point, as if he was considering whether to continue.

"I forgive you for your innocence!"

"Yes." Xiao Tianyou had a guarantee, so he dared to continue to pray, "According to the account books found in the Yang family this time, as well as the things that were previously searched in the ministry, a lot of silver money has flowed into the hands of the prince. A few days ago, the prince ransomed a girl in the red sleeves and used 200,000 taels of gold. ”

"Huh...... He's a big spender! Emperor Tianlong sneered with disdain.

Xiao Tianyou wiped the sweat oozing from the corners of his forehead, and his voice couldn't help but be a little weaker: "After the prince took over the money, the specific flow is unknown, but the minister dared to guess that it may have flowed into the treasury together with the taxes paid by the prince every year. During the period, when Shengtian needed money, whether it was a snow disaster or a drought, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took out this part. ”

Ning Xuan's own prince's mansion is very simple, but he is not stingy with every disaster relief, so he is also quite favored by Emperor Tianlong, and he has a good reputation among the people.

"And ......"

"After I finish it at once, what does it look like!"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Tianyou's speed of speech immediately tripled, "This time I went to check the account books of the state treasury, and the minister simply checked it out, and found that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince supervised the construction of the Yangzhou Palace, he deducted a lot of silver money from the raw materials, which caused the construction period of the Yangzhou Palace to be delayed again and again, and it has not yet been completed." Tracing back to the origin of this incident, the minister also found that when the Rongchang Palace was built first, the same situation occurred. ”

Hua Xiyan, who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, heard that it had something to do with his home, and slowly opened his eyes.

Everyone knows that now this Princess Changyan is the tip of the emperor's heart, for fear that there will be a little bit of indiscretion, and the troubles of the Li family are really endless one after another!

"I remember the matter of supervising the construction of Rongchang Palace back then, and I handed it over to Li Xuan?"

"It's General Wuwei!" Xiao Tianyou nodded.

"Let's go take a look over there......"

"No need." As soon as Emperor Tianlong's words fell, Hua Xiyan interrupted.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all turned their heads to look at her.

"Rongchang Palace is very good, you don't have to go to see it." Hua Xiyan explained lightly, "Even if you cut corners, it doesn't hurt, after all, it's such a big project." All these years have passed, and if something happened, it would have happened a long time ago. ”

"The Eldest Princess......"

"Lord Zuo is too worried." Hua Xiyan waved his hand a little disappreciatively, "The queen mother has made a mistake now, and it is because of her high position and power in these years. When the Rongchang Palace was built, the queen mother was still alive, and the queen mother was very kind to others, and she cared for the current queen mother. And this palace was just a baby girl back then, and the queen mother would never be so ruthless and do something in Rongchang Palace! ”

There are many people in the ministers below who are members of the Li family, but now they are silent and dare not come out, whether it is for the Li family to fall into the well or say all the good things. It's all a matter for their superiors, and the wisest thing for them to do is to keep silent and wait for a second thought before making a decision.

Emperor Tianlong did not immediately speak, but fell into another deep memory because of Hua Xiyan's words.

Hua Xiyan smiled, and continued: "The events of the year will pass in the past, if it is mentioned now, it will inevitably disturb the soul of the queen mother, this palace believes that according to the mind of the queen mother, it will definitely not make enemies here, and the death of the queen mother is a misunderstanding." Ministers don't have to be entangled, living in the moment is the most important thing. ”

Emperor Tianlong's temples jumped suddenly, and it seemed that Hua Xiyan's words touched the deepest string in his heart, making his head hurt uncontrollably again.

The more praise he received from Queen Lixin, the more his self-blame and guilt became, and Hua Xiyan's generous and tolerant attitude made him no longer have the shame to raise his head.

Hua Xiyan gave Emperor Tianlong a smiling expression, but did not give him a smiling look.

"I don't know where Yang Jinwen is now?" Emperor Tianlong pinched his forehead fiercely, and his voice was extremely tired.

"Back to the emperor, it has been found, it is in a small county near Taiyuan, and now it is being escorted back to Beijing." Xiao Tianyou has obviously investigated the matter clearly, "But the person who kidnapped Yang Jinwen was incompetent and did not find out." ”

In fact, after the last oolong at the birthday banquet of Emperor Tianlong, everyone understands that the ten ** is the hand of the Li family, but there is no evidence. This lack of evidence becomes more and more misnountiful.

"First detain the people of the Yang family and hand them over to Dali Temple for trial. I want to see what else I can find! ”

Xiao Tianyou nodded and took the order.

Emperor Tianlong, who had just married, didn't deal with it, Xu was in a very bad mood because he thought of some old things today, as if he had exhausted all his strength to listen to these things of the Yang family.

So, without any surprise, he threw the matter to Hua Xiyan.

Hua Xiyan played the role of the princess of the regent very well, and she looked conscientious.

When he returned to Rongchang Palace, Hua Xiyan felt a sense of exhaustion coming to him, so he rushed into his wing room and fell on the bed.

Yun Qi walked over slowly, peeling off her embroidered shoes and coat one by one.

Although Hua Xiyan was lying, he did not fall asleep immediately, but stared at the top of the bed with wide eyes.

"What are you thinking?" Yun Qi stood beside the bed, looking down at her.

"Thinking about the person who poisoned me today."

"Didn't you already know who it was?" Yun Qi laughed softly, looking like he had already seen her through.

"I've got it." Hua Xiyan hugged the quilt and turned over, "It's just that I can't think of it, who helped her?" ”

Yun Qi raised a pair of elegant eyebrows, with a smile in his eyes: "Zhiwei, are you really unexpected, or don't you want to think about it?" ”

Hua Xiyan hugged the quilt very annoyedly and hummed a few times.

It's really annoying, why do some people always look like the kind of Xiaoqiang who can't be killed!

Yun Qi sat down with a smile, playing with her green hair, and his voice was as gentle and delicate as a zither whispering: "Zhiwei, Yang Jinrong is not a simple character, Ning Xi, he naturally wants such an assistant!" So, he helped her, so what? ”
