The man scratched his head and said, "It has been more than a year. Anyway, the regent has led us to live a good life.
He is a god in the hearts of our people in Fengdu City, and we still need to build a temple for him to worship his statue."
As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers in the main hall were shocked. The regent actually had an iron mine in his hands, which had been mined privately for a year?
Li Wei shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the regent's private mining of iron ore is tantamount to treason."
You must know that iron ore is the raw material for forging weapons. Every mine in the territory belongs to the imperial court and cannot be owned privately.
All the officials suddenly changed the direction of the situation and agreed one after another.
"Your Majesty, this matter is related to Nanyue Jiangshan Sheji. Please make your decision clearly."
"Your Majesty, please make a clear decision."
There were loud shouts in the hall, asking His Majesty to punish the Regent. Only Shen Chi stood aside without saying a word.
He knew that he was a man of little words, and it was useless to say anything at this time. As long as His Majesty believed in Xiao Chengyi, there would be room for change in the matter.
Xiao Chongjun squinted his eyes, stared at the two people kneeling in the hall and asked, "Is what you said true?"
The two men nodded hurriedly: "Everything is true. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can go to Fengdu and ask.
Many people in our city have taken refuge with the regent and joined the army under him, and our brothers also came to Beijing to seek refuge with the regent to make a living."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Someone said: "The regent not only exploits the mines privately, but also raises troops privately? Is he going to rebel?"
Xiao Chongjun took a deep breath, waved his hand and asked the guards to take the two people down.
In the main hall, everyone looked at each other and waited for His Majesty to speak.
First there were the testimonies of the prince's close guards, and then there were the testimonies of these two Fengdu people. All the evidence pointed to the regent.
Xiao Chongjun didn't know whether he should trust his nephew anymore?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone from the palace reporting from outside: "Your Majesty, the regent has returned to Beijing and has now entered the city."
Li Wei hurriedly asked: "How many people did he bring back?"
The palace servant replied: "There are probably thousands of people. It looks like there are quite a lot of people."
Li Wei was a little impatient. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Chongjun and said, "Your Majesty, the regent secretly led troops to the capital. This intention is very obvious. If no precautions are taken, the capital will be in danger."
Xiao Chongjun rubbed his brows, took a deep breath and said, "Preach my decree and bring the regent here."
"yes."
The guard took the order and immediately retreated.
At this time, Xiao Chengyi and others entered the capital and were walking towards Shen's mansion.
Xin Ruyi had heard the news a long time ago and was waiting at the door with Mu Yunchu. Seeing the carriage appear, she excitedly held Mu Xuechu's hand and said, "Coming, coming."
The two of them rushed forward and saw the carriage stopped, the curtain was opened, and a clear and sweet voice came: "Mother, aunt."
Mu Yun'an quickly got off the carriage and rushed towards the two people.
Xin Ruyi's eyes suddenly warmed up when she heard this long-lost voice. She stretched out her arms and hugged Mu Yun'an and said with a choked voice: "Yan Yan."
Mu Yun'an raised his head, looked at Xin Ruyi and said, "Mom, Yan Yan misses you so much."
