The emperor slowly closed his eyes and said, "You overestimated my patience, and I underestimated the energy of Yi in the palace......"

The eldest princess looked at the emperor and gasped and said, "I know, you have been giving me opportunities, in fact, I have been giving you opportunities, as long as you don't want to kill me, I don't ...... at all I can't muster up the courage to harm you...... Because in this life, I have become accustomed to being behind you, and it is not easy to stand completely opposite you, and I don't want to harm you...... So I haven't made a shot. ”

"And yet you've made me despair. Li Yunrui gasped, and then smiled gently: "So kill me, if I live, I will definitely do everything to kill you." ”

"No one can kill me. The emperor said calmly, and then his hand slowly exerted force, but at this time, the knock on the door outside the Guangxin Palace stopped very strangely, and a trace of strangeness flashed in the eyes of the eldest princess.

"You're my sister. The Emperor suddenly stretched out his hand, gently stroked her cheek, and murmured, "Even if you are very bad, you are still my sister." ”

......

......

This was the last conversation the Emperor and the eldest princess had in this world.

Then the palace gate of Guangxin Palace was broken open by a few snow-like knife lights, after a hissing sound, the palace gate collapsed, and the queen mother, who was calm but extremely anxious in her eyes, walked into Guangxin Palace in the company of the old eunuch Hong and under the arch guard of several tiger guards.

"Emperor!"

The Queen Mother looked at the shocking scene in front of her and screamed.

The eldest princess glanced at the emperor who was close to her with a somewhat distracted gaze. After discovering that the emperor heard this scream. A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

I don't know who this smile is mocking.

One finger, one finger. Gradually loosened from the eldest princess's reddened neck. It's like a deadly poison ivy attached to a tree branch.

The Emperor closed his eyes. It took a long time. Breathe on your own. Then slowly withdraw your palm. He turned back and tidied up his dragon robe that had been messed up by the eldest princess. Expressionlessly, he greeted his mother. took her hand and whispered, "Queen Mother." Let's go back. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes stayed on slumping under the palace walls. Stroked his hot and red neck. The eldest princess, who was constantly gasping, trembled.

The emperor held the Empress Dowager's hand slightly. Said softly: "Queen Mother, let's go." ”

The words are gentle though. Although a compromise was expressed. But it is also full of irresistible majesty. The Queen Mother's hands trembled again. Said in a trembling voice: "Go back to the palace." Hurry back to the palace. ”

The emperor suddenly stopped at the gate of Guangxin Palace. The expression on his face was as calm as ever. His brow furrowed slightly. said, "I think." All the people of the world are my people. ”

The tiger guards who broke into the palace before froze their expressions.

A few winds sounded. Several Tiger Guards who followed the Queen Mother snorted miserably. Collapsed in a pool of blood.

The emperor respectfully helped the queen mother out of Guangxin Palace.

Old Eunuch Hong followed behind him with his hands in his hands.

Guangxin Palace Underground Palace Gate. Shut it up again. He also shut in the eldest princess's wheezing voice.

Today's meeting was postponed for half an hour. The time when the thirteen gates of Kyoto opened. It was also postponed for half an hour, which was enough time for a lot of things to happen in the palace. It is also enough for the civil and military officials in the central region to roughly know what His Majesty has done.

Therefore, no one dared to go to the Imperial City after half an hour, and all the ministers of the earthly court. All according to the original time. Honestly waited outside the gate of the palace.

It's just that the atmosphere in the venue today is very weird, and no one will get together to discuss and chat. Even the cold noise seems to have become a sin. There was a strange silence. It made all the locals feel a pressure.

Just before the wee hours of the morning. Most of the eldest princess's power in the court has been swept away. And some forces, even these officials in the past, are not clear at all. The operation came so quickly. He was so decisive and ruthless. The net was so clean and neat that these officials felt a little cold.

It is said that the command place in Kyoto is the old black dog in the prison office.

Officials, of course, know how high the level of the incident is. However, standing in front of the imperial city, they figured it out. After all, this world is the world of His Majesty. It's not the princes who are in the world. It's not the eldest princess's plaything. As long as His Majesty wants to move one day. Naturally, these people will be swept away with great ease.

It was only at this time that the ministers returned to their usual reverence for the man sitting on the dragon chair. I remembered. These people seem to have become accustomed to His Majesty's silence over the years. and forgot his supreme glory and great achievements back then.

It's just that the officials can't just be silent, because they don't know what will happen next at the meeting. If His Majesty wants to take advantage of this matter to carry out another major purge of the court. The old men who wrote in the door. I am very worried about whether the Qingguo local bureaucracy can withstand such a storm.

Van Tis has arrested too many officials.

If you catch another batch. Who will do things for the court?

More often than not, it's speculation. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess offended Her Majesty for what happened, and she ended up like this. In any case, these officials could not guess the real cause of the incident, and naturally they could not associate the bloody and miserable scenes in the palace.

There was no news coming out of the palace, and it seemed to be very calm.

......

......

The whip sounded jade. The ministers lined up in the upper hall in turn, including the two scholars of Shuhu, who were at the forefront of the middle book under the door, as well as the Shangshu of the Ministry, and Fan Jian, the Shangshu of the Household Department, was also among them, but there were already a few fewer people in the middle of the place under the dragon chair.

These people are only afraid that they are in the Dali Temple or the Supervision Institute at this time.

The ministers bowed their heads and entered, and after a moment of calm, they were stunned to find that there was no one on the dragon chair.

Shu Wu glanced at Scholar Hu worriedly, although he didn't say anything. But there was enough information in his eyes. This old scholar has served His Majesty for many years. Of course, knowing His Majesty's mental means, since it is said that it will be postponed for half an hour, it means that His Majesty must be sure that everything will be finished within half an hour.

With His Majesty's bearing, there is something that is not sure. He won't do it. He won't say it either.

But half an hour has passed. But he still hasn't gone to court, could it be that things in the palace have been so troublesome?

By this time, the rain in Kyoto had long since stopped. The sky is glowing with red morning clouds, although there is no heat, it is enough to make the viewer feel a little warm, but the ministers of Qingguo on the Taiji Hall are cold and nervous in their hearts.

With a eunuch singing, the man in the dragon robe finally came late.

Long live the mountain. Speak in order. Hand over the recital. Send it for review. All the proceedings of the pilgrimage seemed so smooth and natural on such a morning. No one dared to make His Majesty the Emperor angry.

Shu Wu raised his head and peeked at it. He found that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair with a calm expression, only a slight look of exhaustion.

Anything that touches the head always has to be done by someone. After all, the rules of the imperial court are here. The duties of the ministers are here. The two books were suddenly arrested and imprisoned. The Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the third out of ten, and two major bloody cases suddenly appeared in Kyoto, such a major event. Even if you pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can't hide from it.

Shu Wu sighed. After secretly saying sorry to myself in my heart. Out of the queue slowly told the story of last night. Then I respectfully ask for the oracle.

The Emperor rests on his chair. After a long silence. Said slowly: "The matter of the Supervision Yuan." All of them have my will, and these people are in prison. ”

Shu Wuping Suri also dared to clash head-on with His Majesty. Strict remarks. But he knew that this was just His Majesty's need for a slightly comical courtier, but today's matter was very big, so he couldn't ask rashly. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, moistened his throat, which was a little dry because of nervousness, and said respectfully: "I don't know what Yan Shangshu and others have committed. ”

The Emperor glanced at him. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Eunuch Yao had already taken out several copies of the folds and files from the yellow silk box beside the dragon chair. Trotted down the platform. It was distributed to several old ministers who were at the forefront.

What is written on the folds and dossiers, old guys like Shu Wu and Fan Jian certainly know it. I have already guessed it. But when they circulate it themselves, they still have to show shock, anger, and guilt.

Of course, the file is the result of the investigation of the Supervisory Yuan, and it is charged with the crimes of the ministers who were imprisoned last night. It couldn't be clearer anymore, the confessions were there, and the human and material evidence had entered the Dali Temple, completely biting those ministers to death, and it was impossible to give them any chance to turn over.

And these ministers in the court performed those three expressions. Naturally, he wanted to show His Majesty that he and his people knew nothing about the crimes of the officials and Yan Xingshu, so they were shocked. As a colleague in the DPRK and China, I am extremely angry at these criminal ministers who eat the monarch and deceive the monarch and oppress the good people...... As for the guilt, it is naturally because of the fact that after several years in the same dynasty, he was unable to discover the ambitions of these criminal ministers in advance, and failed to inform His Majesty in advance. Exposing the ugly face of these places will inevitably lead to the crime of not knowing people. Your Majesty's Sacred Heart Imperial Judgment...... I can't help but feel a little ashamed of Your Majesty, the court, and the people of Qingguo.

These three expressions are very sufficient, but the emperor's expression is still faint, and the corners of his lips are showing self-deprecation and mockery, the reason why he is half an hour late in the court today is naturally because he wants to appease his mother in the Hanguang Palace, and he also has to take care of everything in the palace.

Obviously, he did not explain the reason for his anger to the Empress Dowager, but it was very strange that he was not able to erase the eldest princess secretly, and His Majesty the Emperor was not so disappointed.

In addition to the three expressions among the ministers, there is also one expression, and that is fear and fear.

The dossier was circulated in the court, and there were already four officials kneeling on the ground, and these officials were also in some relationship with the eldest princess in the past, and they were inseparable from the things involved in the dossier.

These four ministers knelt in the Taiji Hall and kowtowed desperately, but they did not dare to shout for the Holy Lord's mercy, because they knew that His Majesty the Emperor hated most those who shamelessly begged for mercy.

The emperor glanced at the four ministers indifferently and said, "The sin is not as good as the public. ”

The four ministers were shocked, as if they didn't expect His Majesty to spare themselves so easily, and the great joy after the shock made one of them unable to help but sit on the ground, speechless for a long time.

The Emperor glanced at the man with a frown. Didn't say much either.

......

......

After the court meeting, the imperial study. At this time, the remaining land is the real center of power in Qingguo, and the elders of the six books and three temples are still sitting on the embroidery pier as in the past, but today these big people seem to feel that they are sitting on the tip of a needle, and they are very sad.

There is no crown prince to listen to the lecture today. The ministers are speculating in their minds. But he didn't dare to show the slightest on his face.

The Emperor glanced at the men. Said slowly: "Something. I can talk about it in the court, but there are some things that I can only talk about here, because you are the pillars of my country. The Son of Heaven's family affairs. It is also a state affair, and you must always know it. ”

Everyone's hearts tightened, knowing that this was about the eldest princess, so they quickly bowed forward.

"Yan Xingshu and the others are just minions, and I won't kill them lightly. The Emperor was half-reclining on a low couch. said: "In the court." I won't make a big move, just that. Let's take a look. ”

At this time, the ministers had the dossier in their hands. It's not the few dossiers that were circulated in the court. It's really some secrecy. So the ministers no longer have to disguise those three expressions. Because these three expressions are from the depths of their hearts.

The eldest princess Li Yunrui betrayed Yan Bingyun, the leader of the Qingguo Supervision Yuan's secret spies in Northern Qi!

Collusion with the Ming family and secretly organized pirates. Loot the goods in the inner warehouse!

Secretly make Jiaozhou sailors slaughter the island!

Instruct the assassins to assassinate the court officials in the streets!

......

......

Scholar Shu's fingers holding the dossier were trembling. Although these officials knew that the eldest princess was powerful and ambitious, they could never have imagined that it would reach such an extent. In particular, these four counts are so horrifying. When Nanqing negotiated with Northern Qi. The chips suddenly thrown by the Northern Qi people. Qingguo was caught off guard and shook the capture of the leader of the Northern Qi secret spies in the court...... It's actually the eldest princess who operates it single-handedly?

The earthquake shook so much. Many ministers still remember it vividly, especially when there was another snowflake of words in Kyoto. The words on the paper pointed directly to the eldest princess. also forced the eldest princess to leave Beijing helplessly...... Yan Bingyun is now the leader of the four places in the Supervision Yuan, and it is something that these ministers in the Imperial Study are all aware of. The ministers thought that it was just a verbal attack, but they did not expect it. It turned out to be true!

"This ...... This ......" Shu Wu was angry in his heart, but he couldn't say anything at all.

The investigative provisions on the dossier are too detailed. The context is too clear. So much so that it is difficult for these ministers, even if they do not believe. In particular, the last three charges are still in prison.

"There's a gadget called Junshan Huidi. The emperor closed his eyes and said, "It's something that Yun Rui made out, although Mr. Tent ran away." But after all, the black rider still caught a lot of people. As for the assassination in the street...... The two Assassins are still in prison. ”

Scholar Hu was a little calmer, although he didn't know why His Majesty wanted to put the affairs of the royal family on the table, he still asked sincerely: "Will it be ...... After all, it was all the result of an investigation by the First Yuan of the Supervision Yuan. ”

It was said very clearly, and the people heard it. If these big sins really point to the eldest princess, in the future, there will be no possibility of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess making a comeback, but everyone knows that since Fan Xian took charge of the Supervision Yuan, he and the eldest princess have been fighting to death and life in Kyoto and Jiangnan in the future, and they are very happy.

If the eldest princess loses power, then Fan Xian's faction will become the most important party in the court.

That's why Scholar Hu will have some reminders.

The emperor said slowly: "It is true that everything is investigated by Fan Xian, but this young man will not do such a small trick as framing him...... The assassin's confession and the Jiaozhou sailor's territorial painting are both there, the account books are also there, and the Ming family's confession has come out, so there is no need to suspect it anymore. ”

Seeing that His Majesty did not listen to his secret words, and knowing that His Majesty must have other plans in his heart, Scholar Hu replied to silence.

"Fortunately, Yan Bingyun is not dead. The emperor suddenly opened his eyes and said indifferently: "Otherwise, how could I face the people of Qingguo, whether it is a son in the army or a secret agent in the supervision institute, they are all good sons who were born and died for my Daqing, but they were all sold and sold by the powerful for their own selfishness!"

His voice rose and he said in disgust, "Disgusting......"

......

......

There was silence in the imperial study, and after a long time, the emperor said tiredly: "But Yun Rui is my own sister after all, if you have any grievances, you can attack me." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the imperial study knelt on the ground in unison, and they didn't even dare to say it, they all felt extremely strange in their hearts, what kind of identity did the eldest princess have, and who would dare to force the emperor to use Qing Law to punish her for capital crimes? It's just ...... Wouldn't it be better to deal with these things in the palace, why did Your Majesty have to tell these people so openly...... Oh my God, where did you get that word from?

"In order to avoid civil discussions, the eldest princess Li Yunrui will not remove the title and the fief. The emperor suddenly spoke: "Ren Shao'an!"

Kneeling at the back of the Taichang Temple Zhengqing Ren Shaoan hurriedly moved a few steps forward, his legs were trembling, and his heart was also drumming, originally the imperial study meeting had nothing to do with himself, and he had been suspicious and scared before, but at this time he realized that His Majesty wanted to answer his own order.

Taichang Temple manages the living and living of members of the royal family, and should be courteous.

"The minister is here. ”

"The eldest princess occasionally felt the wind and cold, and went to the Xicheng Royal Palace to recuperate. ”

"Under the custody of the Supervisory Yuan. The emperor paused, slowly closed his eyes again, and said tiredly: "When the embankment of the Great River Land is all repaired, let her come out." ”

"Minister...... Command. Ren Shaoan was so frightened that he was about to cry, thinking that the river was thousands of miles long, even if Yang Wanli could cultivate again, he was afraid that it would take hundreds of years, and at that time, the eldest princess was only afraid that she would become a skeleton early.
