Chapter 90: Doubt
readx;? Man's first wishes are good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info But while walking, I forgot my original purpose, which is really sad!
Shi Jian'an swallowed his saliva and paused. In fact, he just wanted to share his work with others, after all, Ji Kang's threat to the north was so small that no one cared if he spied on any important information.
"Hmm...... Although they have the four princes in charge of the country, they have heard from the people in their palace that their old emperor has been clamoring for the eleventh prince to ascend the throne...... Alas, I don't understand that. Shi Jian'an remembered the sentimentality he felt for the eleventh prince a few months ago when he heard about him.
"I knew that this was the case, why did I send him to our northern country in the first place. β
Shi Jian'an muttered like this, and the hundred officials seemed to think of something, and they all looked at him, "Eleventh prince?
"Hey, what's wrong with him?
"I don't know...... Didn't care about ...... either."
The hundred officials talked one after another, and the emperor on the dragon chair frowned slightly, let the injured child go back to the throne......? Doesn't he hate hurting children the most?
Seeing that the emperor was silent, Shi Jian'an didn't dare to continue. The voices of the hundred officials gradually became smaller and smaller with the silence of the emperor. In the end, it was so silent that you could hear the breeze blowing outside the temple.
In fact, the court in the north is allowed to have discussions, but since the emperor ascended the throne, the iceberg face that has not changed for thousands of years has gradually made the hundred officials dare not speak.
The emperor also had a headache, he wasn't angry, but these people always thought of themselves like this.
"Don't say anything. The emperor asked casually.
But in the ears of the hundred officials, the emperor is talking the opposite.
"The ministers don't dare. The officials responded in unison.
The emperor's brow furrowed even deeper, and he simply didn't explain it to them. Looking at Shi Jian'an, he asked tentatively, "Do you say that Su Bingcan asked the eleventh prince to go back to the throne and ascend the throne?
Shi Jian'an licked his lips in embarrassment, "You know they don't know." The Seventh Prince has been secretly searching in Ji Kang's territory, and if he can't be sure that he is dead, it is estimated that he will send someone to infiltrate the northern country...... Although it is impossible for him to sneak in. β
The emperor squinted, this was indeed a problem. Regardless of whether their so-called Seven Princes sent people to infiltrate or not, they never believed that the death of the wounded child was the biggest threat.
He didn't want to go back in a mad way. Not only because he was reluctant to him, but also because of Ji Kang's internal and external troubles, he really didn't feel at ease to let the madness go back. Is that safer than being a concubine for yourself?
Thinking like this, the hands in the emperor's sleeves suddenly clenched togetherβit seemed that the madness followed him and only kept hurting......
"Ahem. β
Seeing that the emperor was distracted, Yuan Yuan immediately deliberately pretended to have an uncomfortable throat and coughed lightly.
The emperor immediately responded to Shi Jian'an, "Well, is there any other information?"
"Uh...... Yes. Shi Jian'an said: "The two princes have been facing the enemy barbarians outside the fortress for several months, and this time they have brought the enemy's largest granary, and it is only a matter of time before they win a big victory." β
"Doesn't this mean that their second prince will soon return to the court?" asked an official.
Shi Jian'an looked at the person who spoke, it was his boss, Shangshu Gong of the Second Rank Military Department. He is very interested in both military and politics, but the northern kingdom has always been smooth sailing, and he has no place to show his strength, so he often pays attention to the military and political intelligence of the Great Celestial Empire.
Now when I heard that the little Ji Kangguo was so interesting, I asked with interest for a while.
Shi Jian'an saluted him and said, "Yes." If the second prince returns to the court......"
"They Ji Kang will definitely have civil strife. Gong Tong proudly took Shi Jian'an's words.
Shi Jian'an glanced at the emperor and saw that he didn't show any praise for Gong Yitong, so he didn't care that this old guy stole his limelight. Just smiled, "Yes." β
"Oh, there's a good show to watch this time. β
"Let's talk about something inside the Northland. Some officials couldn't wait to talk about the harem, but when they saw that they were far from the topic, they couldn't help but pretend to be impatient.
"Internally, let's talk about it every day, and there's nothing wrong with occasionally talking about other countries' affairs and learning from other people's experiences. Gong Yitong was happy about this, so he didn't look at the official who spoke, and said with a smile but a tough attitude.
"We don't have so many royal heirs in the north. β
I don't know who came up with such a sentence again, and the brows of the officials who wanted to talk about the harem were twisted together.
"Even if there are so many imperial heirs, our northern kingdom will not be chaotic. They argued, "We have always been patriarchal and orderly, where will there be chaos." β
"They are also young and orderly, inheriting the primogeniture. "The Ministry of Rites is still a serious way to popularize science for everyone. Probably an occupational disease, he stood upright from beginning to end and spoke in a proper manner.
The official of the harem faction was anxious, "Can it be the same? Which of us northerners doesn't yearn for freedom and peace?"
As soon as these words came out, all the officials nodded. The stability of the northern kingdom that has been able to survive among its neighbors for thousands of years and has never changed dynasties and has been ruled by thousands of families is absolutely inseparable from the general desire for freedom and peace among the people of the northern country.
"Hey, it's useless to argue, let's get back to business. β
Someone put forward an opinion, but it was soon led to the matter of the harem by the harem faction.
"Emperor, I heard that you are the only one in the harem who pampers and hurts the adult. I'm afraid it's not in line. β
"Whose rules?" the emperor asked coldly.
The officials shuddered and remained silent.
"Why didn't any of you mention the flooding near Yuanyang Ping? Is it that the prosperity of this northern country is only tied to this harem?"
The emperor swept over the hundred officials with cold eyes, and he couldn't see these people mentioning the harem. Mention it, every time it gets mad, he can't stand it.
"Several major murder cases in Pingzhou have been shelved in the Department of Justice for more than a month, you are all so keen on other people's family affairs, why don't you help the family of the deceased find the murderer?"
Baiguan lowered his head.
"This year's harvest season is coming, and I haven't listened to you discuss the tax rate. Do you want to do everything for Lone to remind you?"
"Humβ"
As soon as the emperor's words fell, the sound of bells and drums in the distance melodiously reverberated in the main hall.
"Retreat. β
The emperor said without hesitation, and then turned around and left the Xuanzheng Palace.
Baiguan has seen this situation many times in the past month, but each time they are still standing in place in a daze and awkwardness, not knowing what to do.
After all, what the emperor said was the truth. In the long run, what is the use of this court?
"It's time for us to introspect. β
Someone broke the silence first.
"Well, I don't think we're going back to-day. Let's go to the temple and confess. β
As soon as this cry sounded, everyone nodded frequently. They are indeed too impetuous these days. For the sake of the Northland, they could not continue like this.
"Let's go, go to the temple. β
The emperor outside the hall heard the footsteps of the officials scattering, and couldn't help but look up at the white sky.
Yuan smiled, "Did the emperor do it on purpose?"
"The affairs of the harem are measured. However, the officials have forgotten their original intentions, which is contrary to their desire to be virtuous and assist Gu to achieve great causes, which requires enlightenment. β
The Emperor took a breath, stepped on the stairs leading to the second floor of the Xuanzheng Palace, and continued: "Just like they said, we northerners all yearn for freedom and peace, and so do they. Nobody likes strife. At the beginning, they persuaded Gu to accept concubines in the hope of extending the heirs of thousands of families and stabilizing the inheritance of the northern kingdom. β
As they spoke, they were already standing upstairs in the Xuanzheng Palace. Looking from afar, you can see palaces in the haze, and the background is the looming mountain shadow in the fog, a prosperous and peaceful.
"That's nice. The coin yuan sighed. He is a native of Jikang, and he can understand the happiness of being a northerner.
That's why we need everyone to work together to protect them. As he spoke, the emperor tilted his head and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the hundreds of officials who were going out of the palace in groups.
The coin yuan looked dumbfounded, "It's so good-looking......"
The emperor's eyes were cold, "Go back to the palace without injury." β

Ye Xinyun heard the bell of the next dynasty ringing, so he sent Lin Huande to serve and freshen up. As soon as he finished freshening up, he asked Lin Huande to help him go out for a walk. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a row of people from Gong Zhengji standing at the foot of the steps, staring at him intently.
"What is this for? Didn't Bengong say it? If he is not interrogated, Bengong will not say a word. As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Huande angrily, "Didn't you say don't let these people in?"
Lin Huande frowned, and before he could explain, the second-class palace attendant stepped forward and smiled: "Little Lord Night, don't misunderstand. We're not here to interrogate you. β
"Oh, then can you still come here to drink tea? Who doesn't know that your people in the palace have never eaten the fireworks of the world. β
Ye Xinyun's sarcasm didn't make the second-class palace attendant change his smile in the slightest, and he continued to explain: "Heh, we are naturally not here for tea. We're here to catch the suspects. β
"Yo, you guys are so bold. Bengong said that he wouldn't let you interrogate, but you came directly to arrest Bengong!" Ye Xinyun glared at him angrily.
He didn't say anything, and looked at Lin Huande.
Lin Huande shrank back, immediately took a breath, pointed at him angrily and said to Ye Xinyun, "Little master, they are here to arrest me." These people don't say I'm a suspect!"
Ye Xinyun was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and looked at the second-class palace attendant, "The people of your palace chief are quite good at doing things." Do you know who he is? He is Lin Jide's son! Will he kill his father? You ...... Scold. β
Ye Xinyun said that in the end, he didn't bother to say anything more. He felt that these people from Miyashoji had disappointed him too much.
"Doesn't the little lord of the night doubt it?" the second-class palace attendant smiled instead of being angry, and looked at Ye Xinyun meaningfully.
Ye Xinyun was also a little bottomless by him, "Doubt, what do you suspect? I suspect that the injured concubine is almost the same!"
