Lin Xixue patted Feng Yuexian on the back and motioned for her to come forward and tell the emperor in detail about her previous findings.
But before Feng Yuexian was pushed out even half a step, she retracted stiffly, stood on tiptoe and leaned close to Lin Xixue's ear and said, "Sister Lin, you really want to talk to this dog emperor."
"What are you afraid of? You already said that he is a dog emperor. Just treat him as if you are talking to a chicken and a dog. Don't be nervous."
When Lin Xixue said this, she didn't even lower her voice, she just used a normal volume, which was naturally heard clearly by the emperor.
The emperor's face turned the color of pig's liver from suppressing the pressure, but he couldn't hold back the attack, so he could only hold the hand hidden in his sleeve robe until the veins popped out, and he gritted his back molars so hard.
Seeing that Lin Xixue really called him the Dog Emperor in person, Feng Yuexian seemed to be no longer as nervous as before. She mustered up the courage to take two steps forward and explain in detail the problems she had seen before.
"I have made everything clear to you. Let me ask you, has there been any large-scale restructuring of the structure of the palace?" Lin Xixue continued to ask.
"Is this a large-scale reconstruction?" The emperor stroked his long beard and said, "Huizhong, go to the treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately and get all the supervision drawings for the reconstruction of the palace, large and small."
"Yes!" The little eunuch who had been serving the emperor quickly ran out of the imperial study.
Only then did Lin Xixue discover that this young eunuch was the one who had been temporarily promoted by the emperor to replace the former chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Are you really ready to let such a young eunuch serve as your head of the House of Internal Affairs?" Lin Xixue's lips curved into a teasing smile again.
"Are you worried about his origins? I have ordered my close associates to investigate secretly. His origins are innocent."
"So, you are willing to continue using him just because he has a clean background?" Lin Xixue interrupted directly,
"How can I guarantee the position that I always have by my side if my background is unclear?"
"Have you never considered that even if you are innocent, you may be betrayed or betrayed by you for various reasons?"
"Of course I have considered this, so I am not always on strict guard against officials and let officials, big and small, restrain each other to prevent one party from becoming too powerful."
"I can only say that Yunzhou has reached the point where it is today, and it has nothing to do with you. I helped you this time. If you still don't know how to reflect, I'm afraid that in a few years, someone else will turn against you." Lin Xixue
He half-clasped his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and shook his head.
"That's enough. Since I took over, although I dare not say that I have worked hard to govern, I have not been a drunkard. I have devoted all my energy to the affairs of Yunzhou. How can I put all these responsibilities on my head!"
Perhaps Lin Xixue's accusation really aggrieved the emperor, so he couldn't help it and started arguing with Lin Xixue.
"Your Majesty, how long has it been since you left the Forbidden City? Do you know what kind of life the people of Yunzhou are living now?" Lin Xixue said the word "Your Majesty" in a strange way.
"How come I don't know that two or three years ago I traveled eastward and the people along the way lived and worked in peace and contentment. Why do you make it sound like I was living in dire straits?"
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? You go out in a big way. The local people have been prepared for it and arranged some people in advance to whiten it up. Is there anything strange about it?"
"You mean to ask me to go on patrol incognito? But if something unexpected happens to me during my trip, what will happen to Yunzhou Sheji?"
"So, aren't you, a dog emperor, still pretending to be confused? If you really believe that the country in Yunzhou is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and you don't close your doors at night and don't pick up things on the street, what dangers will there be if you go on patrol incognito?"
"this"
"The reason why you think it's dangerous to go on patrol incognito, isn't it because you think, as a commoner, it's not safe to travel?"
"Oh, I almost forgot, you still have this so-called dragon energy body protection, and you still have to worry about it. It shows that you yourself know very well that Yunzhou is not peaceful."
"So, I said you pretend to be confused because you understand. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"."
"Not to mention far away, right here in Jingyun City, there are people who dare to openly cheat on the imperial examination. Do you really have no idea about it?"
"What, you said someone cheated on the imperial examination?"
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you in detail. I'll take off this yellow robe myself and be a candidate. I'll know after I experience it for myself." Lin Xixue walked to the pillar beside her and leaned against the pillar with her eyes closed to relax.
stand up.
The emperor was stunned on the spot, "Are you going to be a candidate yourself?"
After a while, the little eunuch Huizhong who left returned to the imperial study with a large bundle of books. Lin Xixue quickly read the books, and then relied on her extremely powerful memory to list all the changes in the palace.
Then it was handed over to Feng Yuexian.
Feng Yuexian saw the changes summarized by Lin Xixue. She was somewhat enlightened at first, but then turned into confusion.
"These changes are not the root cause of today's weird Feng Shui pattern. I always feel that the changes recorded in these files are not comprehensive and seem to have been omitted."
"Is there something missing?" Lin Xixue touched her chin. It was actually very possible that the former head of the House of Internal Affairs had been assimilated by those slugs and secretly destroyed some key clues.
She originally thought that this clue was completely broken, but she turned her head slightly and saw that the emperor was pretending to be calm, but in fact he had a slightly evasive look in his eyes, which made her feel a little strange.
"Why are you avoiding your eyes? Do you know something?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just haven't had a good rest these past few days and my eyes are a little sore. It's okay. I just need to rest for a while."
"Haha, don't tell me. Anyway, this weird Feng Shui pattern has not been established where I live. Just wish yourself well."
Naturally, Lin Xixue would not force the emperor to tell the truth. After all, it had nothing to do with her at all. If there were no accidents, she would be unlikely to come to Jingyun City again in the future.
She really has no interest in caring about the emperor's life and death, as long as she can successfully obtain the fiefdom.
But when the emperor heard what Lin Xixue said, he was indeed a little panicked. He relaxed and hesitated: "Actually, this record is indeed incomplete."
"Can you tell me the key points, which changes were not recorded, and why they were not recorded. Please explain clearly." Lin Xixue pursed her lips, showing an impatient expression.
The emperor paced back and forth in front of the newly moved imperial cabinet for several times, beat his hands, and finally made up his mind, saying: "The reason why this change was not recorded in the files of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is because it involves the former emperor's affairs."
Some. Uh. Secrets."
"Well, what exactly is the secret?" Lin Xixue actually had no special interest in this little bit of gossip about the Yunzhou royal family. She only made further inquiries out of pure investigation.
"Few people even within my royal family know about this matter, so I ask you two to keep quiet after hearing it."
"I'm not that boring. I like spreading these gossips." Lin Xixue was not interested in these so-called secrets, but Feng Yuexian beside her was a young man after all, so she immediately became energetic and her eyes were filled with anticipation.
"Shi Aiqing, Hui Zhong, you two should stay out of the way first."
