Wen Nianruan covered Xiao Xixi's small mouth and whispered: "Don't call me 'sister-in-law' in front of others, or call me sister."
Although she confirmed Hongxing's affair, she shouldn't be too blatant. It would be better to keep a low profile.
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently.
Wen Nianruan told her what happened between her and Yun Chenan, and Xiao Xixi seemed to understand. She was still confused about emotional matters.
When Qiu Bai brought Gungun over, Xiao Xixi was very happy. She had never seen such a beautiful cat. With Gungun in her arms, Xiao Xixi's mood instantly improved.
When she left Fuhua Palace, she took Gungun away, and Wen Nianruan asked Gungun to play with Xiao Xixi for a while.
In this room, within a short time, the news that Tang Hanming and Shen Yuan were imprisoned spread throughout the imperial capital. After Tang Ren knew that his precious son was in prison, he immediately went to the palace to see Xiao Jinran.
In the imperial study room, Tang Ren was kneeling on the ground with a face filled with fear and shouting: "Your Majesty, Quan Zi is guilty, and it is all because of the old minister's incompetence in educating his son. Please forgive me, spare Quan Zi's life, and give him a chance to change his ways.
"
"Let him live? Do I give him too few chances? Does King Chang Shu think that I am blind and cannot see the evil things Tang Hanming did in the imperial capital!"
Xiao Jinran's face was dark and angry, and he threw the memorial in his hand in front of Tang Ren. Tang Ren trembled in fright, and it was obvious that the emperor was really angry.
The memorial listed Tang Hanming's evil deeds in the imperial capital in the past few years. It was so full of evil that it was difficult to write down, and every one of them could have punished Tang Hanming with death.
Tang Ren picked up the memorial with trembling hands and looked at it, his pupils widened. The things on it were indeed done by Tang Hanming, but he had already dealt with them before the incident came to light. Why was he dug out again?
Already.
If these crimes were exposed to the world at this time, Tang Hanming's life would really not be saved.
Tang Ren was horrified. He had obviously handled these matters very cleanly, how could he be dug out?
Yun Chen sat aside and drank tea quietly.
He asked Xizhu to find out those crimes of Tang Hanming, and hit the snake seven inches. His move was to prevent Tang Hanming from turning over.
Since he dares to bully his girl, he must be prepared to pay the price.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this, these are all false accusations. Although Han Ming was a bit arrogant and domineering in the imperial capital, he will never do such harmful things. I beg the Emperor to find out the truth."
At this point, Tang Ren could only grit his teeth and refuse to admit it.
"False accusation?" Yun Chen'an raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said in a gentle voice that could not detect any emotion or anger: "If King Chang Shu feels that I am wronging the Crown Prince of Tang Dynasty, then I don't mind giving away all the witnesses."
Come here and see if I am wronging Prince Tang."
Tang Ren was startled, looked at the memorial in his hand, then looked at Yun Chenan, twitching the corners of his mouth: "Yes, it's you."
"Well, these incriminating evidences were all found by me," Yun Chenan said calmly, his face calm.
Cold sweat broke out on Tang Ren's face. He wanted to ask Yun Chenan why he put his son to death, but he didn't dare to ask in front of Xiao Jinran.
If he had asked, he would have confirmed Tang Hanming's charges.
Tang Ren looked at Xiao Jinran with an aggrieved look on his face: "Your Majesty, please be aware that Quanzi must have been framed."
He couldn't let anything happen to his son. He was the only legitimate son in his palace and his lifeblood.
This time Tang Ren tried his best to save Tang Hanming's life, which was different from the last time Tang Ying'er died tragically at Xiao Yi's hands. He didn't feel sad or painful at all, and even thought of using Tang Ying'er's death to
Suppress Xiao Yi.
After all, they have more than one daughter, Tang Yinger, but only one son, Tang Hanming.
To put it bluntly, his daughter is just a piece of grass in his heart, and his son is a treasure in his heart.
Xiao Jinran knew clearly what Tang Ren was thinking from his eyes, and it was useless even if he cried out for injustice.
Originally, Tang Ren was also a member of the Queen Mother, and she was worried that she would not have a chance to deal with him. Now was a good opportunity, and Xiao Jinran could not waste it.
He said solemnly: "Tang Hanming's crimes were so heinous that I cannot shame the people of the world for the sake of King Chang Shu, so I will first imprison Tang Hanming in prison until Dali Temple finds out what happened in the memorial, and then I will make a judgment."
"Your Majesty." Tang Ren panicked instantly. If he waited for Dali Temple to find out what happened in the memorial, his son would undoubtedly die.
"Okay, please step back first."
Before Tang Ren could finish speaking, Xiao Jinran waved him away.
Tang Ren looked horrified. The only one he could find now was the Queen Mother.
He got up from the ground neatly and left the imperial study room in a panic.
Xiao Jinran sneered in his heart, knowing that Tang Ren would go to the Queen Mother for help.
He turned to look at Yun Chenan: "What do you think of Zi Shu?"
Yun Chen'an raised his eyes: "Cut the grass and root out the root, and avoid future troubles forever."
Xiao Jinran's eyes narrowed: "What Zishu means is that he wants to use this to get rid of King Chang Shu?"
"yes."
Yun Chenan spoke bluntly, with no emotion on his plain face: "King Chang Shu has always been loyal to the Queen Mother, and the power behind him is not small. The emperor can no longer allow him to develop. If we get rid of King Chang Shu, it will be equivalent to killing him.
The Queen Mother's arm."
"However, getting rid of King Chang Shu is not that easy, nor does it happen overnight."
Xiao Jinran calmed down, he felt that what Yun Chenan said was right, but the foundation Tang Ren had laid over the years could not be easily overthrown. It was indeed difficult to eradicate Tang Ren in a short time.
Yun Chenan smiled lightly, with a strategist in his eyes: "Your Majesty, in two days it will be time to pay taxes and silver in Bayi and Shu. It just so happens that there is a shortage of escorts. I think King Chang Shu is a good candidate."
Xiao Jinran pondered: "What Zishu means is"
"Stealing a beam and replacing it with a pillar, guarding yourself and stealing."
In eight words, Yun Chenan explained this plot.
They are all smart people, Xiao Jinran knew it at a glance. He tapped his fingertips on the table and turned to look at Yun Chenan, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes: "Zishu has never liked killing, why did he deal with King Chang Shu this time?"
Damn it, why did King Shu offend you?"
Although Yun Chenan's responsibility as a national advisor is to assist the emperor, he rarely participates in government affairs. The case of Tang Hanming is an exception. When Tang Hanming was imprisoned, Yun Chenan immediately found out his many years of evil deeds and presented them to him.
Every evil deed can make Tang Hanming's head fall to the ground.
And now, he still wants to catch all King Changshu in one fell swoop.
Xiao Jinran was puzzled as to when he, the Imperial Master, had taken such an active part in government affairs.
Yun Chenan stood up and prepared to leave. He brushed his sleeves, lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "I just want to help the emperor solve his problems. If Tang Ren doesn't get rid of him, he will be a disaster sooner or later."
Although he said this, his ultimate goal was to warm Nianruan.
Yun Chenan grew up in Buddhism and doesn't like killing. That's because no one touches his bottom line.
