The scorching summer is silently gone.

Just as the sensational assassination of the Hanging Temple in Kyungkoku gradually disappeared from the discussion of the people of Kyoto, the dinner table, the tea shop, and the Qinglou shipyard that were originally hotly discussed about it were now replaced by the rest of the fashionable novelty gossip.

That's the reality.

No matter how sensational the news is, it will still pass after all.

Ordinary people didn't feel the ripples of the Hanging Temple assassination on the court, and the once-prosperous Ye family officially announced its withdrawal from the Qingguo stage, although there was a great grandmaster Ye Liuyun behind him, but the discerning people knew that it would be difficult for the Ye family to return to the court in a short period of time.

What is not known is a certain change in Emperor Qing's attitude towards the Supervisory Yuan.

Even Dean Chen, who knew the emperor's mind best, clearly felt the anger hidden under Emperor Qing's calm face, and everyone in the court thought that it was the dagger in the Hanging Temple that made His Majesty what he is now, but Chen Pingping noticed that His Majesty was not angry because of this matter.

It's just a pity that Emperor Qing can't tell what happened that night.

Even if it was against Chen Pingping, the old black dog he trusted the most.

"Old Five... Are you back in Beijing?"

The middle-aged man with a slightly tired face pinched his sour neck, and said to the wheelchair in front of him without looking up.

Chen Pingping in the imperial study was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, and the dean's skinny hands pulled up the woolen blanket on his lap that had been with him for many years: "As far as the minister knows, Wuzhu has gone to the north a few days ago and has not returned to Kyoto."

Emperor Qing, who raised his head, only bowed slightly, and there was no superfluous expression on his slightly cold face.

Chen Pingping silently remembered Emperor Qing's sudden question, knowing that His Majesty the Emperor could not have suddenly thought of Wuzhu to ask, Chen Pingping, as the biggest conspirator in Qingguo, has used extremely delicate and needle-like thoughts to defeat the enemy in front of him under his feet over the years.

"The Hanging Temple is caused by the negligence of the Supervisory Yuan."

"The old slave pleads guilty to His Majesty."

Emperor Qing's eyes swept over Chen Pingping, who had been following him since the Chengwang Mansion, the most ordinary five-standing eunuch in the palace at the beginning, and now he was already the most frightening dean of the Supervision Yuan in the dark night of Qingguo, and the memory in Emperor Qing's eyes flashed away, and he quickly recovered as before.

"It is enough to achieve the goal."

"But this time, the royal family's handling of the Ye family is still not very decent, and the Supervision Yuan has to come up with something to block the mouths of those ministers in the court."

Chen Pingping responded respectfully, and directly accepted Emperor Qing's results.

Emperor Qing still needs a reason to deal with the Ye family in the court, and the Supervision Yuan is actually a violent institution belonging to Emperor Qing, but whenever this tiger that is feared by the world shows signs of losing control, Emperor Qing, as the master, will directly choose to break the leg of this tiger.

"Your Majesty."

"The survey of the courtyard on the south side has come to an end..."

.......

In the blink of an eye, the autumnal equinox arrived.

On the day of the autumn equinox, every household in the country has to sacrifice to the moon, and the autumn harvest, autumn ploughing, and autumn planting are extremely busy in this season, but on the day of the autumn equinox, the whole country is resting, sacrificing to the bright moon, and looking forward to the autumn of the coming year will not encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, and the harvest will be fruitful.

All the members of the court rested, and even the army camped on this day, and the border gate also ushered in an extremely quiet day.

Qingguo is located in the central south of the mainland, since ancient times there has been the custom of eating mutton on the autumn equinox, mutton on the autumn equinox, dumplings on the winter solstice, so this half a month from the Northern Qi side of the business travel to the territory of Qingguo, almost all of them are cute and immature lambs.

It looks cute and tastes so good.

The aroma wafts from the streets of Kyoto's houses, the smoke rises from the chimneys, the smell of green onions, ginger, garlic and stir-fried over a hot fire in the windowsill next to the kitchen, and the smell of slow-cooked mutton on a small stove is more like a high-door house.

Naturally, there is also a banquet in the palace that looks lively, but in fact has its own ghosts.

Lu Ze went to the Queen Mother's Hanguang Hall by himself, because Wan'er had reached the labor period set by the imperial doctor, such a meaningless gathering, Lu Ze did not agree to let Wan'er participate again.

The queen mother's palace is definitely the most magnificent and majestic one in the harem.

Now Emperor Qing's reputation for filial piety is well-known in the capital, so on the side of Yushitai, if the minister is corrupt and derelict in his duties, it is all something that is not painful, but this unfilial reputation will kill him.

In the palatial palace, all kinds of new furnishings and objects are shining, reflecting the light of the palace.

The children of the royal family in the palace are chatting and eating silently, and the people gathered in the palace today are very neat, and it may be the most neat in these years, including the eldest prince who has not returned to Beijing for a long time, as well as King Jing and his family, and the eldest princess who was driven to Xinyang at this time last year.

Li Yunrui sat next to the queen.

These two women who have fought side by side for many years still look very intimate at the moment, and even whisper from time to time, the rest of the royal family in the palace is very in awe of the old woman on the main seat, after all, the eldest princess and the queen are by the queen mother's side every day, and it seems much more natural at this time.

"Wan'er... It's almost the end of the day, right?"

Putting down the bowl in her hand, the Queen Mother picked up a handkerchief on the side and covered her mouth and began to cough.

Lu Ze replied softly after saluting, "If you return to the emperor's grandmother, it is estimated that it will be in these two days."

The Queen Mother hummed, and then looked at her daughter Li Yunrui on the side, with a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

This displeasure naturally feels that Li Yunrui is a mother, and his care for her daughter is so insufficient.

The atmosphere of the dinner is generally not very lively, and the royal family banquet is even warmer than the ordinary people's homes to some extent.

Lu Ze felt a little bored, thinking about going back early to accompany Wan'er in the house.

But at this time, Wan'er has two brothers by her side, and she thinks it is much more lively than Lu Ze here, at least there is a big treasure.

Originally, Wan'er wanted the two brothers of the Lin family to return to Wuzhou at this time to visit their old father at home, but the old father-in-law wrote a letter with very strong words, asking Lin Gong and Dabao to accompany their sister who was waiting to give birth in Beijing, and come home to find him, an old man.

Lin Ruofu, who returned to Wuzhou to retire, is surprisingly good compared to when he was in Kyoto, Lin Xiangye may not have such a big burden on his shoulders, and his mental state is much better.

.......

This family banquet made everyone see that the queen mother's preference for the eldest princess Li Yunrui was still there, otherwise she would not have deliberately left her and Emperor Qing after the end, and it was estimated that she had something to explain to the emperor's son.

It's just that no one expected that the Supervision Yuan would choose to take a sudden action against the inner library.

And this shot is unusually ruthless and decisive, after the Supervision Yuan has a thorough grasp of the situation of the Ming family in Jiangnan, it finally got the order to do it, and several major shots did not give the first chaebol in Jiangnan half time to react, and many people and goods were controlled in the first time.

In fact, the initiator of all this is Lu Ze in the East Palace.

At the beginning, Chen Pingping followed Lu Ze's hand to solve the problem of Zhu Ge, the host of the Supervision Yuan, and Lu Ze also mixed a sinister trick in the cumbersome Eucalyptus Sect, and directly handed the dark line of the smuggling of the second prince Li Chengze and Li Yunrui to Emperor Qing through extremely trivial hints, and this seed finally reached the point of taking root and sprouting at this moment.

Emperor Qing can allow Li Yunrui, his younger sister, to take over the inner library to fill his own pockets, but he will never allow Li Chengze to make a lot of profits behind his back.

Especially in this way.

Money can make ghosts push ghosts, and real money can even make ghosts push ghosts.

Chen Pingping vaguely noticed that Emperor Qing had been staring at the Supervision Yuan for too long, so he decisively chose to play the cards of the inner library, at least with the eucalyptus that shocked the court even more to attract some of the attention.

Therefore, when the Ming family's smuggling is real

When the world knew about it, it shocked the world in an instant.

It wasn't until today that the people of Qingguo knew that such a big hole had been broken in the pocket of the original inner treasury silently, and the imperial court had lost countless white silver on the customs side of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the nameless anger swept the entire Qingguo in an instant!

What is a tax?

Taxes are the foundation of a country!

The reason why Qingguo was able to set off huge wars again and again, the war horse was so strong, and the spear was so sharp, all of which were allocated from the taxes of the imperial court, and the imperial court set up many taxes, in addition to the original most basic ones, and set up heavy taxes on salt and iron tea later, because the Ye family, the richest man in the world, emerged behind, and after the fall of the Ye family, the Qingguo royal family inherited the rich inner treasury.

It's just that I didn't expect that in just ten years of hard work, Neiku would become such a scarred appearance.

It is no wonder that His Majesty wants to reform the inner treasury and put the crown prince in charge of the inner treasury.

The snowflakes on the court were sent to the eucalyptus of Emperor Qing's imperial study, even the officials who originally belonged to Xinyang became a little silent, obviously they didn't expect that the eldest princess would dare to do such a treason thing as smuggling in Northern Qi.

Although Li Yunrui was not mentioned on the recital, the spearhead had been pointed directly at Her Royal Highness the eldest princess.

Lu Ze blocked the news of the East Palace.

Because Wan'er has reached the stage of giving birth at this time, there is nothing more important for Lu Ze at the moment than this matter, and the mansion quickly entered a fiery state of preparation, and Lu Ze personally sat in charge, just so as not to make any mistakes.

At this time, there were naturally many people's eyes near the East Palace.

Lu Ze cut off all the hands that dared to reach out very neatly, because there would be no kind eyes at this time, and Lu Ze could only believe in himself and a few people around him.

Fortunately, in the end, the mother and son were safe.

When the baby's cry resounded in the dormitory, listening to the news of the safety of the mother and child, Lu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and then a sincere smile bloomed on his face, and the big treasure beside him also smiled from ear to ear.

The eldest brother clapped his hands excitedly.

"Dabao wants a little nephew!"

When there was a lot of noise in the court about the eldest princess and the smuggling of the Ming family, the news of the birth of the emperor's grandson in the East Palace also reached the palace, and the turbulent court became quiet for a while, and people remembered that they seemed to have forgotten an important matter.

The relationship between the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... That's a lot!

At the beginning, the East Palace and the eldest princess were intimate, and the queen and the eldest princess often met in the harem, coupled with the real identity of the county lord of Wan'er, the offensive of the court against the eldest princess slowed down a little.

In Changxin Palace, Li Yunrui was dressed in gorgeous clothes, dressed beautifully and listened to the news from the people below.

She chuckled lightly, and her coquettish face bloomed with a different dazzling brilliance, which even made the Changxin Palace much brighter at this moment.

"Cheng Qian."

"My aunt told you about it."

"The relationship between us can't be cut off so easily, not to mention that you are still the husband of my family Wan'er, and now that Wan'er has given birth to a grandson, it is the best protection for me."

Li Yunrui felt powerless for the first time because of the fierce offensive of the Supervision Yuan.

Especially when she got a promise from the queen mother before, but her emperor brother still chose to acquiesce in this matter, the collapse of the Ming family undoubtedly broke Li Yunrui's most powerful arm, and she still didn't know that it was a good son-in-law who stabbed her in the back.

.......

Lu Ze didn't pay attention to Li Yunrui's thoughts at the moment.

Because he was sure that the little holy scroll left by the eldest princess's mother-in-law on Emperor Qing's side would soon be exhausted, Lu Ze's attitude towards Wan'er's biological mother, his nominal aunt, was very complicated, but this did not prevent Lu Ze from hesitating when he did something to her.

The water in Kyoto is getting muddy.

What's in the market

There are all kinds of rumors, and what came back from the Northern Qi Dynasty even had rumors that the little Fan of the Supervision Yuan was a disciple of the Ye family, and this Tisi of the Supervision Yuan was the commander of the Ming family's affairs this time, Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing both intended to let Fan Xian show himself, but what he didn't expect was that such rumors would spread and become another conversation after people were drunk.

The news spread quickly through the streets of Kyoto.

There is no real evidence for this kind of rumor, but the so-called rumor is a rumor, because people will deliberately magnify it, not to mention that this matter is the truth.

The Ye family really brought too many things to this world at the beginning.

Although the Ye family was accused of treason after Ye Qingmei's death, many things of the Ye family have not been forgotten with Ye Qingmei's death, and there are still many people in this world who remember that little leaf.

Lu Ze ignored the disturbances outside, and just quietly hugged his son, who was extremely big-eyed.

Wan'er looked at her husband and son with a gentle expression.

She was just stunned when she heard the news from her mother, and then left this matter behind, and Wan'er was more open-minded than ever at this time.

Lu Ze told Wan'er about the recent interesting things in Kyoto.

The latter remembered the Fan family: "The child of the master of the Ye family? This thing... How did it get out?"

Lu Zezheng was teasing his son's laughter, and replied casually, "Who knows."
