Five hundred and ninetieth chapters can not afford
Cheng Ruhai looked firm, as if he had seen through the situation.
"The Emperor has already thought about the fact that Manager Cheng Wang has just been arrested," Cheng Ruhai said, "Don't look at Su Wan and others waging war in the southeast. They want to exhaust the court's troops and armaments. When the court is exhausted, King Cheng
Then send troops from the northwest. Fortunately, we discovered it early. War may have started in the northwest frontier now."
Li Xu frowned slightly.
"Wait until the northwest stabilizes." Cheng Ruhai looked towards the palace.
The implication is that the emperor will have his hands free to touch the Song family and the Xu family.
"Sir," Li Xu thought for a moment and finally said, "there are still some doubts about the case of King Cheng. You said that although King Cheng went to the northwest, is there any verification where he ended up? The previous actions of Duo Gansi and Wu Zang were indeed provocative.
It means that it was arranged secretly by someone. Because of this, it is even more important to have real evidence. In order to appease the northwest frontier, the imperial court has paid too much price in recent years..."
Before Li Xu could finish speaking, Cheng Ruhai said: "According to what you say, do you still want to tolerate Cheng Wang?
Although the northwest is important, King Cheng’s rebellion is even more urgent. If we go to investigate... it will waste time. Is it possible that we have to wait for King Cheng to build momentum first? Do you know how much losses the Great Zhou Dynasty will suffer by then?"
After Cheng Ruhai finished speaking, he looked at Li Xu: "The emperor and I have high hopes for you. If you want to achieve great things in the future, you must have a broader view and don't care about the details. The case must be investigated. But when you meet such a big person,
case, we can no longer stick to the rules.
When the imperial court sends troops and a war breaks out in the northwest, the case of King Cheng will come to an end. The next thing to be investigated is King Cheng's accomplices, so you have to be prepared."
As soon as Cheng Ruhai finished speaking, Meng Lingyun came out and said, "Master Cheng, our eldest lady has a case to report to you."
case?
If I had a busy schedule in the past two days, I might have listened to it, but now I no longer need it.
The Xu family might have heard something, and now they finally couldn't sit still and came to show their kindness to him.
Cheng Ruhai raised his head and looked at the sky: "Miss Xu is not worried about the case being unconvinced. Miss Xu should continue to fly the kites!" Do something that a female family member can do.
After Cheng Ruhai finished speaking, he walked forward.
"Sir," Meng Lingyun's expression was not as calm as usual. He walked forward anxiously and was about to leave the palace. "Our eldest lady said that the matter is very important...it may be related to Dazhou..."
Meng Lingyun was stopped by the officers and soldiers at the door.
Cheng Ruhai snorted coldly and continued to walk forward. He was afraid that there would be another incident in this case, so he had been staying at the palace these days. Now that everything was settled, he should go back to the Yamen.
"What's going on?" A carriage and horse arrived in front of the palace, and Princess Jiashan opened the curtain, "Master Cheng, what happened?"
Cheng Ruhai's eyes fell on the eldest princess of Jiashan.
"Elder Princess." Cheng Ruhai stepped forward and saluted.
The eldest princess of Jiashan got off the carriage, frowned and looked at Meng Lingyun: "Did you hear this, sir? Miss Xu has something important to report to you."
Cheng Ruhai's expression was natural and business-like, and he did not answer what the eldest princess of Jiashan said: "The Ministry of Punishment still has official business for me to handle..."
The eldest princess of Jiashan did not want to let Cheng Ruhai go just like this: "I came to the palace today and heard that the Queen is unwell and wants to see Miss Xu. Is there any order?"
Cheng Ruhai shook his head. The eldest princess of Jiashan has been walking around for Xu Qinghuan recently, and the door of Kunning Palace will be broken through by her. The emperor's meaning is obvious, but the eldest princess of Jiashan still doesn't seem to understand. If this continues, the Xu family will definitely be destroyed.
implicated.
"Eldest Princess," Meng Lingyun said, "My eldest lady really has a case that she wants to..."
Cheng Ruhai looked at the officers and soldiers guarding the door. The officers and soldiers immediately pushed Meng Lingyun through the door, and then the vermilion palace door was immediately closed tightly.
Princess Jiashan frowned: "Didn't Master Cheng hear that? Miss Xu must have found an important clue."
Don't say that you can't go anywhere if you are locked up in the palace. Even if there are clues, the yamen doesn't need a female family member to tell you what to do.
Cheng Ruhai bowed and said: "I have been told above that you are not allowed to enter or leave the palace. The eldest princess can't see Miss Xu anymore, so she should go back!"
"you……"
A trace of anger appeared on Princess Jiashan's face: "If the case is delayed, I'm afraid Mr. Cheng won't be able to bear it."
"The eldest princess is worried too much." A smile appeared on Cheng Ruhai's face. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Xu Qinghuan is just a prisoner.
After saying this, Cheng Ruhai ignored Princess Jiashan and turned around to get into the warm sedan chair.
The eldest princess of Jiashan raised her head and looked at the palace, let out a long sigh, and was helped back to the carriage.
As the carriages and horses galloped forward, the eldest princess of Jiashan opened the curtain and looked out again.
"Princess," the steward mother whispered, "don't worry, Miss Xu will definitely make arrangements."
Although she said this, she still didn't know Miss Xu's intention. Miss Xu asked her to come to the palace as soon as she saw the paper kite. She also knew that Cheng Ruhai would definitely not let them meet. She would never say those words at the entrance of the palace.
It would just be to show off one's words.
Hope things turn around soon.
Before that, she wanted to spread the news and let everyone know that Miss Xu had another clue, but Cheng Ruhai refused to pay attention to it.
Outside the palace, Li Xu watched all this quietly. He raised his head again and saw that the paper kite in the sky had disappeared.
Li Xu's eyes became deeper.
…
In the palace.
The emperor walked out of the Yangxin Palace. After being busy for several days, he finally finished reading the memorial on the table.
Although there were still many places that made him worried, he could feel the authority in his hands.
The Zhang family has restrained their arrogance and no longer dares to intervene forcefully in government affairs. Several cases in Beijing have gradually gained clues, except for...the letter sent by Mrs. Xu.
The emperor rubbed his forehead and prepared not to think about it for the time being.
The palace servants came forward to serve the emperor as he lay on the bed, and soothing incense was burned in the hall.
The emperor breathed a deep sigh of relief, closed his eyes and fell into a dream.
This sleep made him sleep very peacefully, as if he had dreamed of the time when the Taifu took him to study. The sun shone on his shoulders, making him feel warm and comfortable.
Soon everything around him changed. He was sitting on the throne, and the ministers of Zhou Dynasty were kneeling below him.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, something happened in Fengyang."
The urgent voice woke the emperor from his sleep.
The emperor opened his eyes and saw Feng Shun standing aside with a bow.
"What's the matter?" the emperor asked.
Feng Shun's face was ugly and his lips were pale: "Your Majesty, Fengyang...has rebelled."
The emperor suddenly shuddered and immediately became extremely sober: "What did you say?"
"Fengyang Mansion...has rebelled."
Why Fengyang.
Didn't King Cheng escape to the northwest? Why is it Fengyang Mansion?
Veins popped out on the emperor's forehead: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is summoned, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is summoned to the palace..." As soon as he said this, he immediately remembered, "Who sent the news? Fengyang Prefecture? Where is the secret report? Bring it to me."
