After the assassination of Emperor Ling, the whole city wanted the assassin, and he was finally caught. Unexpectedly, he discovered many things from the assassin's mouth. The first one was the suspected rebellion of the Dongfang Hou Mansion. Emperor Ling was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.
The court was shocked.
No matter where it is, there is no room for thorough investigation. This investigation will definitely find many mistakes. After Emperor Ling ordered a thorough investigation, the court officials were secretly frightened and wished they could immediately renounce their relationship with the past.
The emperor has always hated court officials who formed cliques for personal gain. This investigation was good. It did not find anything related to the rebellion. Instead, it was found that the food, salary and disaster relief materials distributed by the court in the past two years had been embezzled by many officials. After that, the officials protected each other. Emperor Long Wei was furious.
King Ling and King Duan were ordered to investigate together to find out how many officials were involved.
Most of the time, the law is not punishable by the public, so the officials of the imperial court dare to work independently, commit corruption and accept bribes. However, this time Emperor Ling tried his best to investigate the corruption as the same as rebellion, which made all officials frightened.
, for fear of having anything to do with these two things.
Especially the people of King An, who usually support King An's political views in the court, and often disagree with King Ling. They are secretly worried that King Ling will avenge his personal revenge. After all, in the officialdom, who can have a clear account?
Who could withstand a thorough investigation, so everyone had no choice but to show their kindness to King Ling privately, hoping that he could bypass them and investigate others. Some people even betrayed their colleagues to plead for mercy.
While the court was in a state of uproar, the palace was as quiet as before. There were heavy guards outside the imperial study room. The emperor was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room. No one was allowed to disturb him. Even King An asked him to wait outside when he asked for an audience.
Later, I don't know what happened to King An's people. His staff hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in his ear, and he glared at the imperial study room hatefully and left in a hurry.
The bright yellow figure is sitting in front of the table reviewing memorials, while the white figure is sitting on a chair nearby, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking tea elegantly.
"Ah Ye, how are you? This pot of tea is good, isn't it? Can the Xueya Longjing you buy be comparable to the Qilian fragrant tea you sent?" Huang He took another copy from the side and drew two circles.
, and throw it somewhere else.
"The tea in the palace is of course good." The man in white is of course Dongfang Ye. He sat in the imperial study room naturally, without any embarrassment.
"Don't talk to me like a bureaucracy. Who doesn't know that the tea at Murong Villa is the best. According to me, your life as the owner of the village is better than mine." Emperor Ling's brows showed majesty, but his appearance was different.
He is handsome. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young. He is elegant but sharp, and has an aura that is not angry but powerful.
Obviously Ling Emperor often said such words, Dongfang Ye had long been tired of hearing them. If it were anyone else, he would have felt that Ling Emperor was implying something or meaning something, but Dongfang Ye would not misinterpret Ling Emperor's meaning.
One of the reasons why the emperor admired Dongfang Ye.
Very few people can get along with Ling Emperor so calmly, without any trepidation or caution, which makes him feel that he is Ling Emperor all the time. That feeling is actually not good. Dongfang Ye is an extremely sensitive person. He knows that he is like everyone.
What kind of way should we deal with each other personally, and the same is true for Emperor Ling.
In the eyes of others, this Ling Emperor is unstable, with deep thoughts and deep palaces. No one can see through his thoughts, but Dongfang Ye thinks that he is a very simple person, with a big heart and only for the people.
It's easy to get along with such a person, as long as he only has the people in his heart.
The higher the position, the more thorough the mind. The so-called climbing high and seeing far away, the person in the position can easily see through everyone's thoughts. If someone in the same position plays scheming tricks, they will definitely die miserably. Maybe they will not die until they die.
Understand why their thoughts can be guessed, unless one day they can stand in a high position, then they will find that standing in a high position can see everyone's actions.
"I heard that your wife is pregnant?" Emperor Ling saw that his expression was indifferent, so he brought up a topic that interested him. Sure enough, when talking about his wife, Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, but the meaning in his eyes was quite interesting, with a hint of amusement.
Be on guard.
"Thank you, Emperor, for your concern." In just a moment, Dongfang Ye regained his calm expression, and then said, "When the time comes to give birth to Lin'er, please ask the Emperor to give me his name."
The tone of matter-of-factness made Ling Emperor suffocate. Looking at his calm expression, he was really angry and funny. Who dared to talk to the emperor like this? However, this guy always looked like he was dying, and he did not put the emperor at all.
In his eyes, he just liked this boy's calm temperament, he was unhurried and took everything he encountered as if he knew everything at once.
"Well, when the time comes, I will prepare a name and have someone send it to the emperor." Dongfang Ye added, Emperor Ling has really changed his face, this guy has made it clear that he doesn't trust him.
At this time, a dark shadow flashed past, standing behind Dongfang Ye. Emperor Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at the visitor, and continued to lower his head to review the memorial, his face restored to the coldness and majesty that an emperor should have.
"How's it going?" Dongfang Ye asked in a low voice. At this time, the only one who could avoid the spies everywhere in the palace and the heavy guard outside the imperial study room was Master Ling Xuan, who was supposed to be meditating and chanting sutras in Ciguang Temple.
Ling Xuan's voice was extremely soft, still very abrupt in the imperial study room where it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. "The whole tribe of assassins lurking in the palace should be the dead men of King An, but among them there is no doubt that
There is someone with a black tattoo on his wrist and very good skills, so he probably didn’t go with them."
"Black tattoo?" Dongfang Ye frowned and was sensitive to the slight stiffness of the man next to the case. He ordered nonchalantly, "Put him in the water prison and keep an eye on him first, and deal with the others."
Ling Xuan nodded, and then said: "In addition, we caught one of Prince An's confidants and found two previous unaccounted for payments based on the clues he provided."
"Let people disguise themselves and go to Prince An." Dongfang Ye still maintained an elegant posture, playing with the ring in his hand, and asked, "This time, we have to pull up the fallen one, and don't leave anyone behind."
"Understood." Ling Xuan curled his lips and smiled, and his jade-like eyes shone with a glaze-like brilliance, giving him the confidence to win.
"By the way, is my dad okay?" Dongfang Ye asked worriedly.
As the saying goes, it's all about putting on a show. He was willing to be involved in disputes this time in Beijing, but Dongfang Ye also wanted to keep him safe.
"Don't worry, the people in the prison were disguised by our people. The Marquis has always been in Prince Duan's house." Ling Xuan always worked carefully, so naturally there would be no mistakes.
Dongfang Ye nodded and glanced in the direction of the window. He wondered how the girl was doing. The official document should have been sent to the Hou Mansion. I wonder if she would be panicked. This matter was well concealed from the court, except for the principal.
None of them knew that they needed an excuse to kill all King An's people, so they had to use the Marquis Mansion as a pawn to disrupt the tacit understanding among the court officials, so that they could find a breakthrough in the shortest time and kill King An's people.
Kill all the people.
He sighed and just hoped that the girl would believe him and not worry too much. He had promised her that he would not lie to her no matter what happened, but this time he left so far away and let her face those things alone. If It's true that he really wants to be by her side, but now he just wants to end things here quickly and stay with her without leaving her again.
However, what he didn't know was that some people always tried their best to get something and tried every means to get it, such as Shen Yi and others.
