The emperor slowly closed his eyes and said, "You overestimated my patience, and I underestimated your energy 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 softly: "So kill me, if I live, I will definitely try my best 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, and found that a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's lips when he heard this scream.

I don't know who this smile is mocking.

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

The emperor closed his eyes, took a long time, calmed down his breathing, then slowly withdrew his palm, turned his body back, slightly tidied up his dragon robe that was messed up by the eldest princess, greeted his mother expressionlessly, took her hand, and said softly: "Queen Mother, let's go back." ”

The queen mother's eyes stayed on the eldest princess who was slumped under the palace wall, caressing her hot and red neck, and kept gasping, trembling all over.

The emperor took the Empress Dowager's hand and tightened it slightly, and said softly: "Queen Mother, let's go." ”

Although the words are gentle, although they express a compromise, they are also full of irresistible majesty. The Empress Dowager's hand trembled again, and she 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, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he said: "I think that all the people in this world are my people. ”

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

A few winds sounded, and several tiger guards who followed the Queen Mother snorted miserably and fell in a pool of blood.

The emperor respectfully held the hand of the Queen Mother out of Guangxin Palace.

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

The palace gate of Guangxin Palace was closed again, and the wheezing sound of the eldest princess was also shut inside.

――――――――――――――――――――――――Today's court meeting has been postponed for half an hour, and the opening of the thirteen gates of Kyoto has also been postponed for half an hour, which is enough for a lot of things to happen in the palace, and enough for the civil and military officials in the court 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 upper court honestly waited outside the gate of the imperial palace according to the original time.

It's just that the atmosphere in the room today is very weird, no one will get together to discuss and chat, and even the cold noise seems to have become a sin. The deformed silence made everyone feel a sense of pressure.

Just before the wee hours of the morning, most of the eldest princess's power in the court had been swept away, and some of the forces were even unknown to these officials in the past. This operation came so quickly, the attack was so decisive and ruthless, and the net was so neatly closed, that these officials felt a little cold.

It is said that the one in command in Kyoto is the old black dog of the Inspectorate.

Of course, the officials knew how high the level of this incident was, but standing in front of the imperial city and thinking about it, they figured it out, after all, this world is the world of His Majesty, not the world of the princes, and it is not the plaything of the eldest princess.

It was only at this time that the ministers returned to their usual supreme reverence for the man sitting on the dragon chair, and remembered that they seemed to have become accustomed to His Majesty's silence over the years, and had forgotten his supreme glory and great achievements.

It's just that the officials can't accept it silently, because they don't know what will happen next at the court meeting, and if His Majesty wants to use this matter to carry out another big purge of the court, the old men in the middle of the door are very worried about whether the bureaucracy of Qingguo can withstand such a storm.

Van Tis has arrested too many officials.

If another batch is arrested, who will do things for the imperial court?

And more people are guessing that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess offended Her Majesty for something and ended up like this, no matter what, these officials can't guess the real reason for the incident, and naturally they can't think of those bloody and miserable pictures in the palace.

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

............ The whip sounded jade, and 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 rank 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 bachelor has been serving His Majesty for many years, and of course he knows His Majesty's mental means, since he said that he would delay it for half an hour, it means that His Majesty must be sure to finish everything within half an hour.

With His Majesty's bearing, he will not do things that he is not sure of, and he will not say them.

It's just that half an hour has passed at this time, but he still hasn't gone to court, could it be that the affairs in the palace have been troubled to such a point?

At this time, the rain in Kyoto has already stopped, and 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 these Qingguo ministers in the Taiji Hall are cold and nervous in their hearts.

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

After the mountain shouted long live, he spoke in order, handed over the chapter, and sent it for review, and the procedures of all the court meetings seemed so smooth and natural, and on such a morning, no one dared to make the emperor's majesty a little angry.

Shu Wu raised his head and peeked at it, and found that His Majesty the Emperor was sitting on the dragon chair calmly, only slightly tired.

Anyone has to do anything that touches the head, after all, the rules of the imperial court are here, the duties of the ministers are here, the two books of the palace were suddenly arrested and imprisoned, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was three out of ten, and two major blood cases suddenly appeared in Kyoto.

Shu Wu sighed, and after secretly saying sorry to himself in his heart, he slowly told the story of last night, and then respectfully asked for the holy oracle.

The emperor propped up his jaw in his chair, and after being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "The affairs of the Supervision Yuan are all in accordance with my will, and these people are all in prison. ”

Shu Wuping Suri also dared to clash head-on with His Majesty and admonished him sternly, but he knew that this was just His Majesty's need for a slightly funny courtier, but the matter was very big today, 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, 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 imperial platform, and distributed them to several old ministers standing at the forefront.

Of course, old guys like Shu Wu and Fan Jian knew what was written on the file and had already guessed it, but when they circulated it themselves, they still had to express shock, anger, and guilt.

Of course, the file is the result of the investigation of the Supervision Yuan, and the charges against those ministers who were imprisoned last night could not be clearer, and the confessions are all there, and the human and material evidence has entered the Dali Temple, and it is impossible to give them any chance to turn over.

And the three expressions performed by these ministers in the court were naturally to show His Majesty that they were shocked that they didn't know anything about the crimes of the officials and Yan Xingshu. 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 for several years in the same dynasty, he was unable to discover the wolf ambitions of these criminal ministers in advance, failed to inform His Majesty in advance, exposed the ugly faces of these people, and could not escape the sin of knowing no one, and worked hard for His Majesty to judge the Sacred Heart...... I can't help but be a little ashamed of His Majesty, the court, and the people of Qingguo.

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

Obviously, he didn't explain the reason for his anger to the Empress Dowager, but it was 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 horns and sè who had something to do with the eldest princess in the rì, and they had nothing to do with 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 their Emperor Xià hated 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, and they didn't seem to 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 frowned and glanced at the man, but said nothing.

............ After the imperial study, what remains at this time is the real center of power in Qingguo, and the elders of the Zhongshu including the six parts and three temples are still sitting on the embroidered pier like Rì, but now these big people seem to feel sitting on the tip of a needle, and they are very sad.

There was no crown prince to listen to the lecture today, and the ministers were speculating in their hearts, but they did not dare to show the slightest on their faces.

The emperor glanced at these people and said slowly: "There are some things that I can talk about in the court, and some things that can only be talked about here, because you are the pillars of my Qing country, the family affairs of the Son of Heaven, and the family affairs of the Son of Heaven are also part of the state affairs, and you must always know." ”

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 half-leaned on the low couch and said, "In the court, I won't make a big move, just look at it first." ”

At this time, the files in the hands of the ministers were not the files circulated in the court, but some real secrets, so the ministers no longer had to disguise those three expressions, because these three expressions were issued 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!

Collude with the Ming family, secretly organize pirates, and rob the inner warehouse goods!

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 they would come to this kind of situation, especially these four charges were too frightening. When Nanqing negotiated with the Northern Qi Dynasty that year, the Northern Qi people suddenly threw out the chips, which caught Qingguo off guard, and the capture of the Northern Qi spy leader who shook the court...... It's actually the eldest princess who made it with one hand!

The shock of that incident was too great, and many ministers still remember it vividly, especially when there was another snowflake of words in Kyoto, and the words on the paper pointed directly at the eldest princess, and 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 the ministers of the Imperial Study are all aware of, and the ministers originally thought that it was just a verbal attack, but they didn't expect it to be true!

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

The investigation in the dossier is so detailed and contextual that it is difficult for these ministers to believe it, if not believing, especially since the last three charges are still in prison.

"There's a gadget called Junshan Club. The emperor closed his eyes and said, "It was something that Yun Rui made out, although Mr. Tent ran away, but after all, he still let the black horse catch 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 ...... 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 clearly. If these big crimes really point to the eldest princess, in the future Qingguo, there is 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 openly and secretly, in Kyoto and in Jiangnan, fighting to the death and life, and they are 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 is with the painting of the Jiaozhou sailor general, the account book is also there, and the confession of the Ming family has come out, so there is no need to suspect it. ”

Seeing that His Majesty had not listened to his secret words, Scholar Hu knew that His Majesty must have other plans in his heart, so he 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 spy of the Supervision Yuan, 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 raised 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 His Majesty have to tell himself so frankly...... Oh my God, where did this word come 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, 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, and at this time he realized that His Majesty was going 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 river 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 the eldest princess at that time was only afraid that she would become a skeleton early.
