Qianqing Palace, in the upper study.

Emperor Tianyou had never been so calm as he was today, sitting there quietly, his eyes falling on the little paper figure on the imperial eucalyptus.

Emperor Tianyou's gaze turned to Jia Jue, and asked word by word, "What you said is true?" ”

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king! There is also a paper figure with the name of His Royal Highness King Liang written here, which was also found behind the shrine in Lu Nansheng's mansion. ”

Saying that, Jia Jue held the paper figure in his hand and offered it, Emperor Tianyou's face was gloomy to the extreme, he took the paper man and looked at it, and then looked at the birthday eight characters behind him, it was indeed the birthday eight characters of Zhu Wucheng, the king of Liang, a fire of anger rose in Zhu Qinde's heart, he tried to restrain the anger in his heart, and slowly asked: "How did you arrange it?" ”

"The Lu clan has been imprisoned in a small courtyard, and the rest of the people and animals have all been killed."

"Okay, you're doing a good job!"

Emperor Tianyou nodded, and said to Dai Quan: "Bring Lu Nansheng here, I want to ask him personally." ”

After a while, several wolf-like forbidden soldiers escorted the embarrassed Lu Nansheng in, Lu Nansheng kowtowed like garlic, and begged: "Your Majesty spares your life, the criminal will never dare anymore, the criminal does not know that the Warat people will enter the prison at this time, otherwise they will definitely not dare...."

"Enough!"

Emperor Tianyou interrupted him, stretched out his hand and put the paper figure with his name and birth date still in front of Lu Nansheng, and asked, "Say, who instructed you?" ”

“.....”

Lu Nansheng's eyes fell on the little paper figure in front of him, and when he saw it clearly, he was so frightened that he was covered in a cold sweat, and he felt an extreme fear in his heart, could it be that he found it in his home?

Emperor Tianyou glanced at him deeply, and said word by word: "Explain the person who commanded the people behind the scenes, I can be extrajudicial and don't punish your nine clans!" ”

"The First Evolution"

Lu Nansheng was like five thunderbolts, he opened his mouth, cried loudly, and shouted that he was wronged.

Emperor Tianyou patted the armrest of the dragon chair and shouted: "This is what Zhongwu Bo searched from your study, the evidence is conclusive, if you still have a little filial piety, you can honestly confess, otherwise don't blame me!" ”

Lu Nansheng was startled, and then he saw Jia Jue standing on the side, and immediately crawled in front of Jia Jue and kowtowed repeatedly, shouting that he was wronged, saying that he didn't know about it.

Without waiting for Jia Jue to speak, Emperor Tianyou waved his hand and ordered: "Give death!" Zhu clan! ”

Hearing this, Lu Nansheng thundered like five thunderbolts, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty spare your life!" The minister has been wronged.... Your Majesty....."

Dai Quan: "Don't pull it down yet!" ”

Jia Jue felt a little unbearable in his heart, knowing that he shouldn't know about this, but this was also his retribution, for his own selfish desires, he caused this catastrophe in Xuanfu, regardless of whether he was deceived by others or not, he had to bear the consequences.

There was silence in the hall.

"Your Majesty!"

Dai Quan handed over a bowl of hot tea at this time.

Emperor Tianyou took a sip, eased his mind, and then put his eyes on Jia Jue, and said slowly: "Today's incident is thanks to you, not only did you destroy the intelligence network of that beast buried in the capital, but also found out about it, no wonder I always feel weak and weak, it turns out that I have been tricked by someone." ”

Speaking of this, he groaned slightly, and then said: "Don't meddle in this matter, I will order Dongchang to investigate this matter thoroughly." As for the seized money .... You also know that the Xuanfu War Treasury is empty, and I have already sent this money to the treasury, and I will not make it difficult for you, you can use 30,000 taels to reward the soldiers, and I will allow you to recruit an additional hundred armored soldiers. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jia Jue hesitated for a moment, then suddenly knelt down and whispered, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say a word or not?" ”

Emperor Tianyou glared, "Say!" ”

"Your Majesty, don't you doubt how the people behind this learned about the birth of His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Liang, if it is possible to say that His Royal Highness King Liang's birthday was leaked by the people around him, but Your Majesty's side..."

Emperor Tianyou sat up straight and said word by word: "This thief!" ”

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body!"

Dai Quan persuaded in a low voice.

Emperor Tianyou let out a long sigh, "What do you think?" ”

Jia Jue immediately answered, "Dare to ask Manager Dai, how many people in this palace know His Majesty's birthday?" How many people in this clan know? ”

"This...."

Dai Quan was very confused and didn't know how to speak.

Emperor Tianyou glanced at him deeply, "You tell Zhongwu Bo!" ”

"Yes!"

Dai Quan groaned and said: "Only the Queen Mother knows about it in the Imperial City, and only the Great Sect in charge of the Jade Disc of the Zongren Mansion in the clan can access these.... In addition, the great sect is loyal to the uncle of the king according to the generation..."

Jia Jue immediately asked, "Is that also the uncle?" ”

Dai Quan was silent.

Emperor Tianyou was furious, and slapped the palm of the "snap" on the eucalyptus.

Dai Quan was stunned and knelt down.

After a while, Emperor Tianyou calmed down and sighed, "This matter must be strictly sealed from the news, you don't disclose the slightest bit of information to the outside world, I will take care of everything, you go back." ”

Jia Jue replied loudly: "Yes." ”

Suddenly, Emperor Tianyou's face changed again, "Has the Lu Mansion searched carefully?" Why is there no King of Shu? ”

Jia Jue had already stepped out of the upper study with one foot, quickly stopped, bowed down and replied: "The courtiers have searched carefully several times, but they have not found anything, maybe they have forgotten!" ”

Emperor Tianyou sighed again and said tiredly: "Go!" By the way, I went to King Liang's mansion and told King Liang that he would take care of the affairs of the household department first, and I would not appoint a new household secretary for the time being. ”

Jia Jue's heart was relieved, bowed and exited the study, turned around and left quickly.

Looking at Jia Jue's distant back, Emperor Tianyou said to himself: "Everyone has their own little abacus...."

Speaking of this, he said coldly: "The Holy Ancestor Emperor is too merciful, and he has finally left hidden dangers for future generations. ”

At this time, a murderous intent flashed in Emperor Tianyou's eyes, he stood up, walked a few steps in the hall, and suddenly asked, "I heard that the relationship between King Shu and Da Zongzheng is also good?" ”

Dai Quan: "Yes. ”

Emperor Tianyou groaned, and only after a while did he say, "I am also embarrassed.... You go and invite Shoufu and Lao Guogong here, and pay close attention to the movements of the Shu Palace, and when the time is right, you can cooperate with Nanzhen Fusi, I plan to make a decision! ”

Dai Quan: "Yes. ”

Just an hour after Jia Jue walked out of the imperial city, Shenwu General Feng Tang led three thousand forbidden troops to surround the Dazongzheng Mansion, and half an hour later, Chen Hai, a cabinet minister, knelt under the steps of the Wenyuan Pavilion Hall to accept the holy decree issued by Emperor Tianyou: "Chen Hai, a cabinet scholar, is old and frail, and can not bear the heavy affairs of the court, so he is specially allowed to return to his hometown for retirement, and from now on, he will be removed from all his posts and given five hundred gold, Qin this!" ”

"Thanksgiving!"

In the Ministry of Industry, Wang Yaozu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, also received the will, but it was not the will to return to his hometown to support the elderly, but to remove him from all positions and go to prison for strict trial.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites Lang Zhongwei Ji, the Ministry of Officials Lang Zhong Chang Sun Hao, and the head of the Ministry of War Wang Zhi were imprisoned and raided their homes.

In just two hours, Da Zongzheng, Chen Hai, a scholar of the cabinet, Wang Yaozu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Industry, Zhongwei Ji of the Ministry of Rites, Sun Hao, the middle chief of the Ministry of Officials, and Wang Zhi, the director of the Ministry of War, were arrested or dismissed one after another.

.......

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Zhu Wuxiang, the king of Shu, smashed the tea bowl on the ground and smashed it, just now, he got the news of the secret agent, Da Zongzheng has been given to death, this is his biggest supporter in the sect, and the emperor has selected the new Da Zongzheng, Huainan King Zhu Xunkun, this person is his uncle, but unfortunately the relationship with him is very bad.

This is nothing, what annoys him the most is that the emperor let King Liang take charge of the household department, which makes him feel a frustration that he has never felt before, and he loses face greatly.

Shi Luo Yinghe, the governor of the palace next to him, was also very disappointed in his heart, he didn't understand why the emperor's attitude had changed so much, he had already agreed that the king of Shu had won over the noble military, and he would have a banquet tomorrow to entertain those generals.

"Your Highness, I found out, Lu Nansheng shouted before he died, he didn't curse His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Liang!"

Zhu Wuxiang's chief guard walked in from outside.

"Damn Jia Jue, you dare to be behind the Yin King!"

Zhu Wuxiang still didn't understand what was going on, and said through gritted teeth: "This king is really blind, and he even sent him an invitation written by himself." ”

At this time, Luo Yinghe whispered on the side: "Your Highness is angry, this matter is estimated to have little to do with Jia Jue, if he did something from it, it wouldn't be so simple, after all, this is a witchcraft that has always been hated the most by the royal family." ”

"You know!"

Zhu Wuxiang was also dizzy and scolded angrily.

Luo Yinghe was stunned, shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhu Wuxiang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, he knew his father too well, and knew that he must have doubted himself, this was to support the fifth child to take the throne, otherwise he would not let a cabinet scholar Zhishi, but did he really have no chance?

Zhu Wuxiang slowly calmed down, he sat on the chair and pondered for a moment, sighed for a while, and said to the chief of the guard: "The king of the Song Mansion will not go to mourn in person, you can go on behalf of the king." ”
