"Emperor Qi, although these mountain bandits in Tongzhou have been entrenched for many years, they have always been inexhaustible wildfires, and the spring breeze blows and grows. But in the end, they are just mountain bandits, if it weren't for these bandits in Mingzhou, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to make such a big wave, so that Nandi would fall into such a situation. ”

"Fang Shoufu is right, Your Majesty, this Mingzhou has been handed over to the princess of the country for five years, according to the taxes reported below, it is beyond the surrounding three states every year, and it is close to the richest Qingzhou and Yuezhou."

"In any case, it is a fact that the princess is tyrannical and oppressive against the people in Mingzhou, if the emperor can't give an explanation to the people of Mingzhou, I'm afraid that Dazhao will really go to war!"

"The emperor thinks twice."

"The emperor thinks twice!"

……

"Think twice? They all made me think twice, but don't I know what their ideas were? ”

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Shengde swept the fold in front of him to the ground, and the expression on his face was extremely ugly.

He and Qi Xiao had already deduced that the enemy had a back move, but they didn't expect this back move to come so quickly, so that they didn't have a little time to breathe.

That's right, today's news of the rebellion of the five counties of Naming Prefecture and the mountain bandits in Tongzhou was directly sent to the early dynasty by 800 miles.

What made them even more troublesome was that the soldier who came to deliver the letter did not suppress the news at all, but shouted along the road to the front.

The soldier himself said that it was the request of the officials, and the ministers in the court also said that the people also had the right to know about such a major event, not to mention that the soldiers were also in order to evacuate the crowd in time and send a message to the capital as quickly as possible, right?

But in reality?

Not to mention the same state, Shan Fengxi's fiefdom Mingzhou rebelled, and it was still because of the news of the rampant expropriation, which was enough to make most of the people change their views on Fengxi.

But that's not the tricky part......

"Your Majesty, the news of the princess's assassination in the eldest princess's mansion last night has spread, and many courtiers said that they were almost killed in the pond. And ......"

"What else? Say! ”

Glaring at Zhao Xi, who was hesitant on the side, Emperor Shengde felt that he was now an ant on the hot pot, anxious, he was very anxious!

Zhao Xi dared to slack off in this regard, and immediately said:

"The slogan that the sky is dead, Mingzhou should be prosperous, there is no way, and Zhaoming is punished, I don't know who passed it on today. Now the streets are talking about it......"

Emperor Shengde: "......"

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Shengde almost didn't have to think about it to know who it was.

Who wants Feng Xi to have an accident the most now?

Naturally, it was the person who hid in the gutter and controlled everything, as well as the prince and the fourth child who hated Feng Xi to death.

No matter which of these three parties it is, making Feng Xi stink is what they want to do the most.

"Zhaoling, tell me, what do you think?"

Finally, Emperor Shengde set his eyes on Qi Xiao, waiting for his good son-in-law to come up with a useful idea.

He didn't believe that he was worried, and the son-in-law in front of him was not worried.

When Qi Xiao heard this, he immediately said:

"Judging from our interrogation of Liu Rong last night, Little Phoenix is actually just a person who takes the blame for the people below. But Mingzhou was originally her fiefdom, and a large part of the tax revenue was indeed handed over to her, plus the people below unanimously said that she was expropriating and extorting, and the other two factions in the DPRK and China were targeting ......"

"Yes, these people make it clear that they want her to take the blame, and it must be her fault if it's not her fault!"

Emperor Shengde flicked his sleeves, didn't he know this? He knows it, too!

What he wanted to hear was a solution to this matter!

Then he listened to Qi Xiao say:

"Father, haven't you noticed that although the people in the same vein as the crown prince and the four princes are counting the little phoenix today, few of them ask you to punish her heavily?"

Emperor Shengde was stunned.

Yes, even Chu Yu, the most talkative official, only asked him to give an explanation to the people of Mingzhou, and did not directly ask him to deal with Feng Xi.

Explanation and disposal are two different things, and there are so many articles that can be done in it.

Something is wrong, there is definitely something wrong inside!

Seeing that Emperor Shengde had eased up, Qi Xiao cooled down a pair of peach blossom eyes and said:

"If Erchen's guess is correct, the next plan of these people should be to write a letter asking you to put Little Phoenix under house arrest and ask Erchen to avoid this matter."

When Qi Xiao said this, Emperor Shengde immediately understood.

"You and Xi'er can't meddle in this matter, but the imperial court always has to take a stand against Mingzhou. At that time, who will I send to Mingzhou to quell the rebellion? Not only do you have to avoid it, I'm afraid that Li Cifu and others who are with you and Xi'er will have to avoid it! ”

And once the princess of the protector is not allowed to participate, those who are neutral, towards him, the emperor, I am afraid they will also be beaten as the princess of the protector.

In the end, if he, as the emperor, wants to deal with this matter fairly, he must hand over part of the rights to quell the chaos and verify to the crown prince and the fourth child.

And what results can they find out?

No matter what it was, it couldn't be good for Feng Xi anyway.

But if he must protect Feng Xi and prevent them from going to investigate, they will bite Feng Xi to death and ask the court to give Baixin an explanation as soon as possible.

What to say?

Since Feng Xi was convicted, instead of directly cutting off the fief, it would be a disaster of imprisonment and a disaster of raiding his family.

But if he did, wouldn't he be confessing his sins for his hapless daughter?

"The situation we are facing at the moment is very tricky, if we don't send the case down, not to mention that the south is easy to change, even the little phoenix will be difficult to get out.

But once the crown prince, the fourth prince and those people hiding in the shadows are allowed to investigate, the little phoenix may not only not be able to escape the notoriety of rampant expropriation, but will also be forced to carry a lot of lives of the people and soldiers of Mingzhou......"

Qi Xiao had thought about it in the morning today.

If he is the crown prince and the fourth prince, he will definitely try to make more people in turmoil as much as possible, and the consequences will be more serious.

Regardless of the scene, the message will be as bad as it can be.

At that time, the Princess Protector's Mansion will not just be a matter of trouble, but will fall.

"Ruthless, they're really ruthless!"

Emperor Shengde sat on the dragon chair a little decadently, at this moment, even if he wanted to help his daughter, he couldn't help, and he might even help more and more.

And Qi Xiao's speculation soon became a reality, and the two factions led by the first auxiliary Fang Qian and the official Shangshu Chu Yu quickly wrote to ask themselves to quell the chaos, and the crown prince Feng Jing and the fourth prince Feng Yu knelt directly outside the Heart Cultivation Palace.

It's just that they said that this move was not for themselves, but for the people of Nandi and Mingzhou.

But Emperor Shengde understood that they were forcing him!

Emperor Shengde didn't want to express his position, but who knew that Qi Xiao, who had returned to the side hall and discussed with Feng Xi for a short time, said:

"The sons begged their father to grant their requests tomorrow morning, and ordered the sons and little phoenixes to be placed under house arrest in the palace until the matter was clarified. As for the transfer of troops, Erchen felt that the Shen family's long-idle sailor was good. There is a lot of water in the south, and it must be their field of expertise. ”
