Chapter Forty-Seven: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger

The meaning of the arch fire in these words was a little obvious, Cui Ming couldn't help but glance at Wu Jieyu with some strangeness, and secretly speculated in his heart whether she said this with a simple heart and a quick talk, or with ulterior motives.

Because in his opinion, Wu Jieyu, a concubine who has no strong relatives and no heirs, really brings down Li Hao, and it is not good for her, unless she is helping someone.

Now Cui Ming realized that he seemed to pay less attention to this concubine, and he didn't know about her situation in the palace.

Therefore, he could only pretend to be helpless and talked about Li Hao: "Look, even you know the truth, but I, a son who is praised by the world as virtuous, pretended to be confused, and I don't know if I really don't understand, or I pretend not to understand in front of me."

After speaking, he didn't forget to sigh: "Forget it, who made his wings stiff now, I still have to rely on him to help deal with state affairs, I hope he can have an effect after thinking about it behind closed doors this time."

And I am old after all, and this country will always be handed over to him in the future, and when I close my eyes, I will not be able to see it."

Zhang Jieyu seemed to be taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is the lord of the Great Lodge, and you will be blessed by God for a long life, and you still need to show the direction for this state affair."

Cui Ming waved his hand when he heard this, and replied, "Long life is boundless, I don't dare to think that if I live for so long, I won't become an old monster.

I still know my own body, and my energy in recent years is indeed not as good as usual, and it is time to slowly let go of power.

The prince is a bit stubborn, and I am a little dissatisfied with him, but I have nothing to say about his ability, and he is the best candidate at the moment."

Zhang Jieyu hurriedly objected: "Your Majesty, don't say that, you can still fight rice and ten catties of meat now, last year's winter hunting in the horse farm, you got the most prey, and shot a tiger to death, this body will definitely live a hundred years."

Moreover, if Concubine Rong said something arrogant, His Royal Highness the Prince's ability is undoubtedly extraordinary, but the other princes in the palace may not be able to share his worries for His Majesty.

After all, there are still long days ahead, and Your Majesty doesn't need to be so anxious at all, so you might as well take another look."

At this point, Cui Ming felt that the topic was in place, and asked, "Also, I have other sons who have grown up, so in your opinion, among the other princes, who has more outstanding talents?"

Zhang Jieyu is not a fool, so naturally she will not name specific people, but said: "The concubines don't have much contact with the princes, so they don't know that much.

But thinking about it, the princes are all true dragon blood, and they have been taught by famous teachers since they were children, so they will not be bad at learning skills, maybe as long as they can be given a chance, they will be able to bloom their brilliance."

Cui Ming didn't expect Zhang Jieyu to speak in a tight tone, so he nodded and said, "Give me a chance, I really have to give a chance."

After speaking, Cui Ming ended the topic and pulled Zhang Jieyu to prepare to rest.

At this point, Zhang Jieyu has also completed part of the task, at least from what she just said, she concluded that Cui Ming's dissatisfaction with Li Haode exists, but the degree has not yet reached the point where it is easy to store.

She was able to survive in the palace and get a throne, in addition to the help of Zheng and Ming, she is still a little smart.

She knew that the Zheng family was holding their own handles and forcing themselves to tempt, and she really had no way to refuse, but she could choose which step to try.

The answer I got now is even a progress, at least I can go back and pay a difference.

It's just that what Zhang Jieyu didn't expect was that Cui Ming's alertness was even higher than she thought, and after leaving here the next day, she even found Yan Xu to come.

asked him to cooperate with his personal eunuch Tang Zhi to investigate Zhang Jieyu's situation.

See if she has any contact with the courtiers, and who she is closer to in the palace.

However, for the time being, Cui Ming didn't want to make any moves, so he instructed in advance: "When investigating, remember to do it secretly, and after you have the results, you will only report to me, and don't alarm others."

Both of them were Cui Ming's trusted henchmen, and after they got the order, they quickly implemented it.

But in fact, in Cui Mingde's heart, it is big

Zhi also had some guesses, after all, Zheng and Ming did not deal with Li Hao, and they had already put things on the bright side.

Cui Ming had also used this contradiction to restrain Li Hao before.

In fact, the relationship between Zhang Jieyu's side was indeed not investigated, and it was quickly identified and reported to Cui Ming.

Cui Ming fell into deep thought for a while when he got the news, and began to think about how to deal with this matter.

In his heart, the stability of the Su country and the peace of the royal family are naturally in the first place, that is, he can use the Zheng family to restrict Li Hao, but the Zheng family can't really have ambitions, so that the country is in turmoil and the brothers are separated.

Although this sounds very unfair and unreliable, who made Cui Ming the emperor, he has the absolute right to speak.

While Cui Ming was thinking, Li Hao also got the news from Jinyiwei, and couldn't help sneering.

This Zheng family is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, so they have to do this kind of superfluous thing, and they have been found out.

Originally, it was just a matter between Li Hao's father and son, but now that they have been disturbed, things have probably taken a new turn, which has just diverted the nervous emotions that have just been made by Li Hao.

The subsequent development is indeed in the direction that Li Hao wants.

After Cui Mingde thought about it, he decided to only deal with Zhang Jieyu, which could be regarded as a knock on the mountain and the tiger, so that the Zheng family knew what was the bottom line.

In the end, Zhang Jieyu was made an excuse by Cui Ming, and she was deprived of all titles in the name of disobedience and sent to the cold palace.

The holy decree was brought to Zhang Jieyu by Tang Zhi personally, and after listening to it, Zhang Jieyu's whole person was paralyzed to the ground.

She didn't understand why it was so difficult for her to just want to live well in this deep palace.

But she didn't cry out for injustice, after all, her family's lives were in the hands of others.

Although she also understands that as she loses her use value, it really depends on God whether their lives can be left behind.

But it's better than that, let them just die.

After announcing the decree, Tang Zhi did not leave directly, but walked to Zhang Jieyu and squatted down, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Jieyu doesn't have to worry about the small family, your parents and younger brother have been taken out by the marquis and arranged to live in Yingcheng."

Hearing this, Zhang Jieyu's eyes lit up, but then she felt bitter, because it was obvious that Cui Ming had already known everything about her own affairs, and then she made this decision, and after all, she became a pawn for people to play with at will in her life.

Finally, after brewing for a long time, she bowed to the ground and said, "Thank you for your grace, and the concubine is grateful."

As another party to this incident, Li Hao was lifted from the ban on thinking behind closed doors and regained the opportunity to participate in politics in the previous dynasty, which was also the second warning that Cui Ming gave to other ambitious people.

It's just that Cui Ming may have thought a little badly, he overestimated the imperial power a little, because ambition is not something that can be stopped with a little warning.

Especially when they have already used tricks against Li Hao, aren't they really worried that Li Hao will not liquidate them after he takes the throne?

After all, among the characters that Li Hao set up for himself, there is no such thing as benevolence and righteousness, and repaying grievances with virtue.
