Tu Su Qingli committed suicide once, causing all the people in the Yutang Palace to be replaced, and finally she didn't have to see the seemingly respectful but disdainful faces of the two palace maids, her heart was extremely relaxed. The one who was re-sent to serve her was a palace maid named Lu Qi, who looked very comfortable and delicate, so she brought someone to serve her.

At night, there was no one else in the hall, and Lu Qi waited for Tu Su Qingli to drink medicine: "Miss, you are really reckless this time, fortunately you were rescued in time, if something really happens, your father and brother, how sad it will be." ”

Tu Su Qingli touched his aching neck, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes: "Originally, I just wanted to make a show, but who knew that there were some mistakes, and I almost really hanged myself." I always felt that things were unusual, maybe the queen wanted to harm me, but she always looked at me very unpleasantly. ”

Lu Qi was a little surprised: "Do you suspect that the queen mother sent someone to do something to you?" ”

The idea of pretending to commit suicide was helped by Lu Qi, in order to replace a group of palace people, so that she could successfully come to Tu Su Qingli's side, but I didn't expect that when Tu Su Qingli pretended to commit suicide, he really almost hanged himself, but fortunately, he achieved his goal in the end, otherwise the consequences would be serious. She was afraid that Tu Su Qingli would secretly hate her because of her idea, so she could only guide her to divert her attention.

Tu Su Qingli was indignant: "What about doubt, the identity of Miss Yan of my Tu Su family is nothing in front of her, even if there is conclusive evidence, no one will believe it." ”

Seeing that she didn't mean to resent herself, Lu Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, if you are wronged now, it doesn't mean that you will be wronged forever in the future, there is no way now, it doesn't mean that there will be no way in the future." Now it's better to be patient for the time being, and when the goal of the head of the family is achieved, you successfully enter the harem and get a place, even the queen can't do anything to you, and when the time comes, today's humiliation will definitely be repaid a hundred times. ”

Tu Su Qingli nodded, and finally had a smile on his face: "What you said is right, it's nothing to endure for the time being, the more I endure today, the more the emperor will pity me in the future, and when the time comes, everything will not be known." ”

Lu Qi served Tu Su Qingli to lie down, and when she heard this, she responded with a smile: "Yes, you hurry up and take care of your body now, everything is planned by the head of the family for you." ”

When Tu Su Qingli fell asleep, Lu Qi changed into inconspicuous clothes, came to a secluded place outside the palace, put the note written in his hand under a peony flower, covered it with soil, and then quietly left.

It didn't take long for the content written on the note to be reported to Shen Ninghua.

"Niangniang, that Lu Qi claimed to be a person from the Tu Su family, but in fact she was secretly following the arrangements of Baili Jinyu and Baili Jinjing, and the slave maid asked people to secretly check, her parents really had something to do with the Tu Su family, and it is estimated that this is also the reason why the third prince and the fourth prince sent her to contact Tu Su Qingli."

Shen Ninghua nodded: "Let people keep an eye on this Lu Qi, if there is any news to be reported in time, isn't Tu Su Qingyun, the helmsman of the Tu Su family, coming to Kyoto?" It's also good for people to keep an eye on, don't make any trouble. ”

"Yes, Niangniang, don't worry, the slave will definitely be arranged."

"Where is the envoy of the Great Yue Kingdom now?"

"Ten days before we get to Kyoto."

"Let people pack up the post house and let them live in it, don't be busy entertaining, don't let them move around, when will the northwest border get the city of Da Yue Kingdom, and when will we talk about peace talks."

"Yes, sissy."

Baili Junyi was tough in the court, and cleaned up the ministers who were clamoring for peace talks, and then the court was much quieter.

Ten days later, the envoys sent by the Great Viet State arrived in Kyoto, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to greet them politely introduced them to the post house, and then the guards stepped forward to guard them, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites retreated.

The envoys of the peace talks looked stupid, how can they say that they also represent the Dayue country, are the people of the Da'an country too ignorant of them, and suddenly some people shouted to meet the emperor.

The guards glanced at them with disdain, but they were the emperor's defeated generals, and they dared to shout so confidently: "The emperor has an order, the envoys have worked hard all the way, and they will rest for a few days first." ”

"I'll ask to see the emperor in person."

"The emperor is busy with affairs, how can you wait to see him if you want to, what do you think of the emperor? It's not impossible to ask to see each other, let's write an excerpt first, and we'll let someone deliver it for you, as for whether the emperor can see it or not, it depends on the emperor's meaning. ”

The envoys had no choice but to endure their anger and began to write official documents asking to see them, but unfortunately, after these official documents were handed over to the guards, they were directly used as straw paper, and they were not even qualified to enter the palace. The emperor said that he would dry these people for ten and a half days first, and now it is only the next day, so why is there a hurry.

A few days after the arrival of the peace talks, Tu Su Qingyun, the head of the Tu Su family, came to Kyoto with people. Less than three days after arriving in Kyoto, they began to hand out worship notes to various officials, not to mention, the Tu Su family is also somewhat famous outside, and many officials have given them face and invited them to come to the party.

Hongling recorded the names of the officials that the Tu Su family had been in contact with in the past few days and presented them to Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua for inspection.

Baili Junyi didn't expect that the Tu Su family, which started as a businessman, had been hidden for so many years, and there was still so much energy, which attracted many officials to make friends: "It seems that this Tu Su family has a lot of plans." ”

Shen Ninghua threw the list of officials aside: "The positions of these officials are uneven, some are high and some are low, it stands to reason that the Tu Su family has just come to Kyoto, so they shouldn't visit like this." ”

Baili Jun was stunned: "You mean, these families used to have a relationship with the Tu Su family?" ”

"I'm not sure, Hongling, you let people check it out, look at the net worth background of these officials, together with their wives and concubines, children, henchmen and others, I always feel that the Tu Su family is playing a big game of chess." Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, a little solemn in his heart, these officials have high and low official positions, spanning the six departments, if they are really related to the Tu Su family, then the matter will be serious.

Baili Junyi obviously thought of this: "Ning Hua, do you suspect that the Tu Su family has a premeditated plan?" ”

Shen Ninghua shook her head: "I'm not sure, I just hope I think too much." If the Tu Su family wants to be born, they should have been prepared in advance, and it is impossible to make a sudden decision. For example, the trade route from Jiangnan to the northwest, if there is no escort from the imperial court officials, just relying on a Tu Su family, no matter how bold they are, they do not have the ability to hide it so seamlessly. ”

Baili Junyi frowned: "When you say this, I also remember." When the whereabouts of the grain in the northwest were traced, the local officials did not get much oil and water at all, and more often paid tribute to Beijing with the money they earned from the sale of grain. Moreover, this path has been around for many years, and if it weren't for this year's heavy snowstorm, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been exposed. The Tu Su family should have started preparing many years in advance, and what they are waiting for is today. ”

Shen Ninghua couldn't help but inhale slightly: "Thinking about it this way, that Tu Su Qingyun's mind is really admirable, let Hongling investigate first, and then check it." ”

Because there were too many things to investigate, and many things had been extremely long, it took nearly half a month for Hongling to send the specific news to Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua.

Seeing these news, Baili Junyi's face was ugly: "Hongling, are you saying that these officials have received bribes from the Tu Su family, and there is still a lot of evidence in the hands of the Tu Su family?" ”

Hongling nodded, the more he investigated, the more shocking it became, who would have thought that the Tu Su family, which had been hidden for many years, would have so much energy, and almost half of the officials in the court were involved: "Back to the emperor, after you ascended the throne, you once purged the court on a large scale, and dismissed many old-school officials from their posts and investigated them, if it weren't for your decisive actions, the officials who are now connected with the Tu Su family are afraid that they will exceed two-thirds of the civil and military officials." ”

"Moreover, the slave maid investigated that after the abolished prince Baili Jinyi ascended the throne, the Tu Su family had secretly contacted many officials, but it didn't take long for you to lead the troops to besiege Baili Jinyi, and the first emperor supported you to ascend the throne, and after that, the Tu Su family fell silent, and it was not until recently that it began to act again."

Shen Ninghua's face was cold, and his plain white fingertips were slightly closed: "It seems that the Tu Su family has already made a plan, if Baili Jinyi sat on the throne at the beginning, now, the Tu Su family is afraid that it has already tossed out of the hall." ”

After Baili Jinyi ascended the throne, he treated the courtiers well, added official positions to many people who supported him, and implemented the so-called benevolent government, which was completely different from the thunderous methods of Baili Junyi. In that case, the Tusu family, which was involved with two-thirds of the officials in the DPRK and China, could easily achieve anything.

Hongling opened her mouth and said: "Back to the emperor and the queen's mother, the slave maid also investigated that many officials' families have concubines who have a relationship with the Tu Su family, and most of these concubines are extremely favored, because of the limited time, the things that the slave and maid can find are not too specific, and I don't know how the Tu Su family sent these concubines into the official's mansion." ”

Shen Ninghua nodded: "It seems that the Tu Su family is really unpredictable, so then you should check it carefully and try to find out everything clearly." ”

"Yes, sissy."

Baili Jun slammed the paper in his hand on the table: "Tu Su family...... originally thought it was just an inconspicuous small fish, but who knew that it was a sky-swallowing giant beast, so it was okay, and the officials of the court and the central government would also be cleared up and dealt with with them together. ”

Seeing his angry appearance, Shen Ninghua couldn't help but speak to reassure: "Because of your previous actions, most of the officials in the court have reined in, even if the Tu Su family has their handle, they have to think twice before doing things, and we still have time to plan slowly." ”

Baili Junyi nodded, and the killing intent in his eyes was full of intent: "Well, I still don't believe it, but I can't help a family!" "Let's see how big a wave the Tu Su family can make!
