Chapter Eighty-Eight: Turmoil in the Court
"Go get some food ready and send it to the study in a moment." Ye Yun said as he took out a regular dress from the cabinet, and then walked behind the screen.
"Yes." Bai Zhi retreated.
After a while, Ye Yun changed his clothes and came out of it and went straight to the study.
Sitting in front of the bookcase, Ye Yun held the pen and pondered for a long time before he began to start writing, the tip of the pen turned, and a letter from home sent to the frontier many years late was quietly born.
"Knock knock, master." Bai Zhi stood outside the door with a snack.
"Enter!"
"Squeak~" sounded with the sound of the door opening, and Ye Yun just finished writing the last stroke.
"What is the master writing?" Bai Zhi put the snack next to the bookcase, tilted her head curiously and looked at the ink in the middle that had not yet dried.
Without solving Bai Zhi's doubts, Ye Yun calmly put away the letter, raised his hand to take out an envelope from the mezzanine, and put the letter in it before saying, "Chu Ci can be in the mansion?" ”
"In the backyard."
"Give him this letter, and let him send it to the Duke of the Frontier Daying Town as soon as possible."
"Yes, Bai Zhi will go." Taking the letter with both hands, Bai Zhi turned around and walked out of the study.
As soon as Bai Zhi left, Ye Yun leaned back on the back of the chair, calculating the time in his heart, the corners of his mouth hooked up with mockery, and muttered to himself: "Count the days, that matter should also be settled..."
As Ye Yun expected, two days later, Jiang Yan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, accused the fourth prince Yuwen Yi of colluding with the officials of the household department to sell official salt privately.
Above the court, Yu Wenyong looked at Yu Wenyi, who didn't know how to repent like a clown jumping off the beam, and was still trying to get rid of his guilt for himself, and a wave of anger rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet.
"Enough!" Yu Wenyong roared angrily, so frightened that Yu Wenyi immediately stopped speaking, and lay on the ground in fear, not daring to beg for mercy and excuse.
"Yuwen Yi, as a prince, knows the law and violates the law, and the crime is increased by one degree, and from now on he will be confined in the prince's mansion, and if he is not allowed to go out without an edict, all the shops under his name will be sealed.
Li Qiong! ”
"The minister is here!" Li Qiong, the head of the household who knelt behind Yuwen Yi, responded tremblingly.
"As the head of the household, you are a self-thief, and you are in an embarrassment with Yuwen Yi, causing great losses to the imperial court.
"The emperor is gracious~The emperor is gracious~" Li Qiong hurriedly begged Yu Wenyong for mercy, but Yu Wenyong didn't want to look at him more, and let the forbidden army drag Li Qiong out of the Taihe Hall by the arm.
Not long after, the forbidden army returned to the palace again to reply: "Your Majesty, the sinner Li Qiong has been executed." ”
Yu Wenyong waved his hand, and the forbidden army retreated with a fist.
The deathly silence in the hall, Yu Wenyong's cloudy dragon eyes continued to wander on the ministers, and everyone who was oppressed by Long Wei felt that their hearts were tight, and they were afraid that they would accidentally provoke the emperor and fall to the ground.
As if he felt that the beating was almost over, Yu Wenyong retracted his gaze and said lightly: "I know that I am old and my energy is not as good as before, which also makes some people have other thoughts, but I want to tell you that I am not dead yet!" As long as I don't die for a day, this Luoyun won't be in charge! When the words fell, a fierce light burst out of his eyes and hit Yu Wenyan's body.
Yuwen Yan tightened his back, and immediately knelt down and said, "Father is angry!" ”
At the same time, all the ministers followed suit, knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "The emperor is angry!" ”
Yu Wenyong snorted coldly: "Calm your anger, of course I have to calm my anger, otherwise wouldn't it take advantage of some people's hearts!" That's it, let's all disperse. ”
"Yes, the ministers are leaving!" The ministers got up from the ground, leaned over and slowly retreated outside the temple.
In the Taihe Palace, Gonggong Dou glanced at the empty hall, stepped forward and said: "The emperor is angry, the fourth prince is still young, and he did the wrong thing in a daze, and now that he has been punished, he must not dare to act recklessly in the future." ”
"It's just that it's excusable when you're young, if you're too careful at an older age, then..." Yu Wenyong didn't finish the next words, but Dou Gonggong already understood that the emperor was wary of the four princes.
At the gate of the noon gate, Su Muyun glanced at the eunuch who was kneeling on the ground and wiping the bloodstains, raised his feet and walked to the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and was about to get into the car, when Ji Liang called him from behind: "Su Xiang stays!" ”
Su Muyun turned around and looked at Ji Liang: "Lord Ji!" ”
"Can Su Xiang take a step to speak?"
Su Muyun nodded, and the two walked to the corner of the palace wall.
"If you have anything to say, Lord Thistle, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Yesterday, the dog went to the general's mansion to sit down, and when he came back, he talked about escorting the military salary, so I wanted to ask Su Xiang, but is there really such a thing?"
"This matter is true, it is hand-picked by the emperor, Lord Ji can tell General Fu, don't worry, try your best to handle this matter, the emperor has his own reward."
"The General's Mansion has been cold for many years, why would the emperor suddenly hand over this important task to the General's Mansion?" Ji Liang asked the doubts buried in his heart, 200,000 taels of military salary is not a small amount, if you do a good job of the Sacred Heart Pleasure, the reward is not a problem, if you don't do it well, the head will fall to the ground in an instant!
The more he thought about it, the deeper Ji Liang's brows furrowed.
"Lord Ji, how can you and I guess the emperor's thoughts, if the General's Mansion wants to return to the old scene, now is the opportunity, take advantage of it." Su Muyun said earnestly.
"Having said that, but..."Ji Liang said worriedly: "The frontier is far away, and General Fu has not led troops for many years, which inevitably makes people worry~"
"The emperor has selected General Fu, which means that the emperor values General Fu's ability, and Lord Ji does not need to worry, we must believe in the vision of the saint, and discussed the autumn hunt with the emperor yesterday, the emperor seems to want Lord Ji and King Jing'an to be jointly responsible for this matter, Lord Ji still has a psychological preparation in advance, presumably the holy decree will be issued soon."
"Thank you Su Xiang for informing me!"
"Lord Ji doesn't need to be polite, government affairs are busy, and Su is one step ahead."
"Su Xiang walks slowly!"
Seeing Su Muyun get into the carriage, Ji Liang left at this time.
As soon as the bloody storm in the court ended, Hengwu received the news from the palace and went to the study.
"Master, I just received the news that because of the private salt, the emperor was furious, the four princes were imprisoned in the mansion, and Li Qiong, the head of the household, was dragged to the noon gate and beheaded."
Closing the book, Ye Yun said calmly: "This palace knows." ”
"The four princes resold official salt privately, but they were only imprisoned, such a painless punishment, the master's game is a blank cloth." Hengwu said with a little regret.
Ye Yun smiled lightly and said, "Definitely, there are some things that can't be rushed, once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will grow bigger and bigger." ”
"In this way, it made Yuwang pick up a bargain."
"Hengwu, the person who can sit in that position is not a fool, King Yu seems to have brought down Yuwen Yi through Jiang Yan's mouth, but in fact, he has also exposed himself in front of his father, in the future, his father will definitely be wary of all the Yuwang Mansion." When the words fell, a gleam flashed in Ye Yun's eyes.
Looking at the person in front of her who was talking and smiling and analyzing the situation, Heng Wu felt that she was becoming more and more unable to see through her master.
