In the next ten days, Emperor Xuanwu has been very busy, so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, and he can't see people.

Concubine Yu came over during the period, saying that her father promised to confess his guilt and hand over all the silver taels obtained from corruption, and asked the imperial concubine Niangniang to intercede for him, so that the emperor would allow him to return to his hometown.

Jiang Xinyue didn't agree, whether he could let him get out of the whole body depended on the results of the imperial court's investigation.

If he was really a heinous person, it would be impossible for Jiang Xinyue to ask for this favor.

This kind of behavior that consumed the emperor's feelings for herself, just for the sake of Yu Concubine's father's death, why did she do it?

Requested, can only be asked by the eldest princess.

The emperor was so busy that it was time to return to the palace, and the corruption case of the governor of Liangguang and the siege of Yuzhou were superimposed, and after the emperor was busy, it was the turn of the officials under him to smoke under his feet.

The decree for the dismissal of officials has been issued, and the new governor of Liangguang is Jiang Xinyue's uncle Jiang Yanxi.

Both cases were urgent, and the money taken from Governor Yu's mansion happened to be used in Yuzhou, which was riddled with holes due to drought.

The emperor should have taken a fancy to this, so he was in such a hurry to let the uncle take office.

The long line of entourage behind the carriage, the sound of regular and neat footsteps, compared to the relaxed atmosphere when it was there, was much heavier when it went.

The emperor's face was also a little more melancholy, and more and more of the current situation in Yuzhou was reported back, and the emperor's anger was more and more prosperous day by day, and he was even so angry that he couldn't eat several times.

If it weren't for Jiang Xinyue's persuasion, Emperor Xuanwu would even want to put on his wings, fly to Yuzhou, and personally kill the assassin of Yuzhou.

Jiang Xinyue had thought that because of the drought for several months, the people of Yuzhou would have an extremely difficult time, but she never thought that Zhu Qianyi would use purgatory on earth to describe the scene of the people in the city in his letter.

Thousands of miles of red land, starvation everywhere.

The hot wind blew the dry riverbed, and there were dead trees everywhere, and every blade of grass on the ground that was still a little green had long since been devoured by the people.

The original rivers and lakes were all dry and smoking, and many people did not give up and dug all over the riverbed into potholes, but they did not dig out a single bit of water.

Zhu Qianyi said that there were still a lot of dried corpses lying in the holes dug out, and I don't know if they died of thirst when digging water, or if they couldn't see the hope of life, so they specially dug a grave for themselves and waited quietly for death.

The city was besieged for several months, without water and food, and in order to survive, the people in the city burned and looted more than once, killing the red-eyed, eating human flesh raw, and eating human blood, like monsters.

The Yuzhou Assassin not only didn't care about the life and death of the people, but also sent his henchmen to defend the city, regarded human life as a mustard, and deliberately set up a martial arts arena, so that people who were desperate for water could fight to the death in it, and then give a little water to the people who won.

More people died in the arena than in natural disasters.

On the day Zhu Qianyi arrived, there was a great riot in the city, and the remaining people rose up to resist in order to survive, regardless of men, women and children rushed to the gate of the city.

Zhu Qianyi went with the holy decree, but the people no longer believed in the government, and they killed fiercely one by one.

He not only had to repel the people, but also to prevent the guards from hurting the people, but the cronies of the original Yuzhou assassin Shi shot the people and guards indiscriminately on the city wall.

There was a young man among the people who was the leader, and Zhu Qianyi formed an alliance with him during the fight, and only after he killed the cronies sent by the Yuzhou Assassin Shi was willing to believe that he was really here to help the people of Yuzhou.

Jiang Xinyue looked at the letter handed over by the emperor, and only felt that the paper that was fluttering on weekdays seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and even her fingers were trembling slightly.

Looking at her red eyes, Emperor Xuanwu looked up at the sky, and the tears that should have rolled down were held back again.

"I sometimes think that I don't care if I can go down in history, I don't care if history says I'm a tyrant. Is it necessary to punish every corrupt official of the nine clans, so that the world can be clear? ”

"But the emperor still thinks that human life is precious, and he is easily unwilling to use this kind of implicated crime."

Jiang Xinyue leaned on Emperor Xuanwu's arms to comfort him: "The concubine believes that as long as the emperor has been so diligent in government and loving the people, it will accumulate over time. One day, such corrupt and bad officials will be replaced by good officials, and the people will live a prosperous and stable life. ”

Will there really be this day?

Looking at Jiang Xinyue's affirmative eyes, Emperor Xuanwu hugged her tightly: "I will try my best to complete such a grand scene as soon as possible for our children." ”

He hopes that after the sixth day, he will not have to work as hard as him.

Jiang Xinyue returned to Hexi Palace, and before the stool was hot, she was told that Xiao Ronghua had found it and was now hiding in her palace.

"You say...... Is she Xiao Ronghua? ”

Jiang Xinyue looked at the almost disfigured, shrunken, and nervous "crazy woman" in front of her, and she couldn't believe it.

Xiao Ronghua in memory is still a bit beautiful and confident.

What kind of torture made her so inhuman?

Jiang Chuan smiled bitterly: "If she sneaked in from the dog hole, it would be difficult for the slave to send her back, in case Concubine De ...... Mother, the dog hole slave doesn't know what they dug up for, it's already blocked. ”

"What are you doing on the block?"

Jiang Xinyue said calmly: "At night, I and Xiao Xiangzi took advantage of no one to dig it up again, and tomorrow we will make a big announcement in the palace, and I will say that Concubine De is shameless, and while the palace is not in the palace, dig a dog hole under the wall of the vegetable garden of the palace, and steal the vegetables of the palace to eat." ”

"Huh?"

That's a bit too down-to-earth.

It sounds impossible, but it feels like it's really like that.

"As for Xiao Ronghua......"

Jiang Xinyue thought for a while: "Continue to let her hide, this palace wants to see what Concubine De sells?" ”

She has been away from the palace for too long, so she has to check up and down first, and then take the initiative to attack if there are no mistakes.

On the second day, Concubine De cheered up and prepared to meet Jiang Xinyue's revenge on herself, but she didn't expect a rumor to spread in the palace, saying that she was ...... Stealing vegetables?

"The imperial concubine said that she planted purple jade grapes in the vegetable garden when she left, but when she came back, there were many less, and after her investigation, she said that someone saw Sister Luyin not sleeping in the middle of the night, and took a few little eunuchs to dig a dog hole under the wall outside the Hexi Palace......"

Therefore, it was rumored in the palace that the people in Concubine De's palace dug holes under the walls of others in order to steal the fruits and vegetables planted by the imperial concubine, causing the imperial concubine to be furious and grabbed the green and beat the board.

Lu Yin touched the swollen buttocks that was spanked: "Niangniang, the slave was really cautious that night, and absolutely no one found out." ”

Of course Concubine De knew, she snorted coldly: "Jiang Xinyue may not have found out, but the concubines all went to the palace, only the palace stayed in the palace, no matter what happened in her palace, she would be counted on the head of the palace." ”

said that she stole vegetables, just to block her.
