Chapter 36: Planting the Roots

Not caring that she was not wearing any clothes, Xia Qingxin wrapped herself in a quilt and started calling An Yi.

"An Yi, come in and I have something to tell you."

"What are your orders, Miss?" An Yi raised his head and glanced at Xia Qingxin, then lowered her head and said no disrespect.

"Can you go and protect Ah Ling? Your martial arts skills are so good. If you go, Ah Ling will definitely come back safely."

"Don't worry, Miss. An Er and several brothers are already on their way. This is also the master's special order."

The Marquis had already regarded Nalan Lingyu as his son-in-law. He knew that if Nalan died, the young lady would not be able to live alone, so he specifically ordered them to protect Lord Nalan. It was really well-intentioned.

"Daddy? It's great to have a daddy. Tell daddy that I love him." Xia Qing's heart was finally relieved. She was too tired last night and she was going to sleep in the dark today.

"Oh, by the way, tell Luli not to wake me up and keep those coquettish bitches away from my Fengxia Palace. There is no need to say hello today."

"Yes." The corners of An Yi's mouth twitched in worry. Didn't she get out of bed if she couldn't get up this month? She could count all the days for greetings. Do you still need to explain this matter? Charming bitch? This word

It's so real and fresh. Only the eldest lady's unique mind can come up with such words, not to mention that the daughter of a group of important court officials is a coquettish bitch. Who else has the courage except her.

When Lu Li saw An Yi appearing in his room, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

"An Yi, you are so shameless, how could you break into your daughter's boudoir without permission?"

An Yi's face turned red and he immediately turned around and coughed: "The eldest lady said that she was not allowed to wake up this morning and told those coquettish bitches to stay away from Fengchu Palace." After that, he left.

"That's what the lady said, right? How did you know? Did you also enter the lady's boudoir?" Looking at the empty room and the green fence, I realized that the comfort has disappeared. This smelly An Yi, wait for her later

Just tell Qingzhu about this and let Qingzhu scold her.

An Yi was shot while lying down. He lay on the roof depressed and sighed. This job is really difficult to do. They are all difficult masters. If An Er hadn't sneaked away with his brothers, he would have stayed here now.

It's not him anymore.

Outside Bianjing City, Nalan Lingyu, under the leadership of General Fei Yi, was sitting on a high horse and leading the three armies to prepare to set off. He was the only one wearing brocade clothes, his white eyes fluttering in the wind, and his whole body was majestic, like a

A unique holy lotus.

On the city tower, Baili Mingyu encouraged morale with a hypocritical smile. Putting down the rebellion this time was a small matter, killing Nalan Lingyu was the big deal. How could an emperor allow a cuckold to be worn on his head?

"Princess, look at this person, he's so good-looking." The palace maid named Yue Wu looked at the dazzling person downstairs with an infatuated expression.

"Shut up, I know that this is Nalan Lingyu, the famous number one scholar at that time. When my father was still alive, I asked him if he wanted to marry him, but he refused." Baili Yuting stared at the bottom of the tower.

A person who cannot bear to look away even for a moment.

"But I heard that Master Nalan has not gotten married yet, and he doesn't even have a concubine."

"Really?" What a good opportunity. She has taken a liking to this man. When he returns in triumph this time, she will definitely ask the emperor's brother to let him be his consort.

Baili Yuting hid in a corner of the tower and watched secretly. She sneaked out this time. The emperor didn't let her run around. But if she hadn't secretly come to see the army today, how could she have seen such an outstanding man?

, a hundred times more outstanding than the imperial brother. Baili Yuting's heart was beating fast, especially when she thought about how this man would mess with her in the future, her face turned as red as the sunset.

"General Yu, Master Nalan, I hope you will not disappoint my hope and return in triumph as soon as possible." This is the last time I see you Nalan Lingyu, I hope you go well.

"I will definitely live up to the emperor's holy will and will definitely return as soon as possible." Nalan Lingyu and Yuyi dismounted their horses, kowtowed their thanks to the saint, and finally led the army to set off.

Baili Mingyu, if you want me to die, you must first check your own strength. In terms of military strength, I am not as good as you, but in terms of strategy, you are still far behind me. Qingqing, wait for me to come back.

Thinking of the things that kept Baili Mingyu busy last month, a smile appeared on Nalan's face.

That was morning a month ago.

"I have something to report." Jia Lianjie, the Minister of Household Affairs, walked out of the team.

"Oh? What can I say, Ai Qing?" Baili Mingyu raised his eyebrows. As soon as the Minister of Household Affairs comes out, something big will happen.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Li Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture recently received a complaint. Hundreds of tenant farmers filed a lawsuit against Liu Yishou, the imperial censor of our court. He not only forcibly bought land but also charged high rents and taxes, which resulted in a massacre outside Bianzhou City.

The people of the village are in dire straits, so please ask the emperor to severely punish Mr. Liu."

"Your Majesty is unjust." These are all matters that the Prime Minister confessed to. How could he not do it? He said that he was a scapegoat for the enemy, but he couldn't say that this matter was obviously directed at the Prime Minister.

Liu Yi, the imperial censor, knelt on the ground with a splash of his hands and tried his best to cry out for his injustice.

"Master Liu, you still dare to quibble at this point. Your Majesty, this is evidence." Jia Lianjie bent down and presented the evidence in his hand. Eunuch Gao took it and presented it to Baili Mingyu.

"Liu Yishou, this is the so-called injustice!" Baili Mingyu became angry instantly after seeing the evidence. This worm actually embezzled no less than millions of taels of silver.

"Prime Minister Jian, I will leave this matter to you for a thorough investigation. Report any situation immediately! Retreat from the court." After saying this, he threw the evidence directly to Liu Yishou who was kneeling on the ground. Liu Yishou was so frightened that he was shaking all over. Now it was all over.

"Your Majesty."

Nalan Mingyu looked at Liu Yishou who was kneeling on the ground with a sneer at the corner of his mouth. This is just the beginning. I want all your confidants to be sent away by your own hands. Hu Wei felt that what happened to Liu Yishou was very strange. As expected,

When he saw Nalan Lingyu's expression, he instantly understood that the partner he had chosen was indeed a good one, and he could bring down people so quickly.

"Master Nalan, the weather is nice today. Are you interested in having a drink with me, General?" Hu Wei walked over and patted Nalan on the shoulder. You are a good boy.

"General Hu, can you please be gentle? As a scholar, I can't help you slapping me like this." Nalan Lingyu wished that his internal injuries could be eliminated. A military commander is a military commander, and he didn't know the severity of this move. If he continued to be slapped like this, he would probably vomit blood.

.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, I forgot that you are not a Lianjiazi. In order to make amends, you have to drink this glass of wine with me."

"Okay, let's go now."

When Nalan Lingyu and Hu Wei had already gone away, Jian Xiang walked to Liu Yishou and said, "Master Liu, the emperor asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly this time to leave you with a complete body. You go back and prepare."

Let’s go when you’re ready.”

"Prime Minister, is there no other way? I don't want to die yet." Liu held Jian Xiang in his arms as he cried with mucus flowing from his nose. He really didn't want to die.

"You don't want to die, but you still have the nerve to say that even if you are asked to do something, others will get caught. Didn't I tell you to take it less, but you refused to listen. Something will happen now!" Jian Xiang said with a look on his face!

He looked at Liu Yishou impatiently. It seemed that the person behind him was warning him. So what was he trying to do? He had to find this person, otherwise there would be endless trouble.

"Prime Minister, I know I was wrong. I just ask you to let my family go. I know what to do." Knowing that the situation was over, Liu Yishou let go of the hand holding Jian Xiang and collapsed on the ground.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of your family." Jian Xiang sighed and left. This time the person behind him just killed one of his less important subordinates. Whose turn will it be next?

In the Royal Study Room, Baili Mingyu started throwing things as soon as he came in. This Liu Yishou was really ignorant. It was in vain that he valued him so much. He also brought his daughter to the palace and gave her the title of Zhaoyi. His daughter's beauty was not gentle enough.

The girl from my hometown is pretty, and it’s a good thing that I dote on her every night. It’s really disgusting to think about it.

"Here comes Liu Zhaoyi, who doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and has a vicious heart. He demoted her to a beauty and moved to the Fangfei Palace." Eunuch Gao did not dare to say much to Baili Mingyu who was in a rage, so he had to hurry out and go to Huancui Palace to declare the imperial edict.

After calming down, Baili Mingyu felt that this matter was very strange. According to the evidence, Liu Yishou began to accept these fields as early as five years ago. Why are the tenants reporting him now? Is there someone behind the scenes?

?

"Xinghuo, go help me with something."

Since Wildfire died, the leader of the secret guard has become Starfire. Starfire and Wildfire are equally skilled in martial arts, but are slightly stronger than Wildfire in light kung fu. Starfire disappears after receiving his life.

An hour later, Xinghuo stepped into the imperial study room again.

"Master, there is indeed something fishy behind this matter. I asked several tenants, and they all said that someone asked them to file a complaint together. They said that if they go to file a complaint this time, the land will be returned. Those with some status among them will also get it.

I only had two taels of silver, so I took the lead in beating drums to complain."

"Have you found out who it is?" If he found out who it was, he would be cut into pieces.

"The person behind this matter is very clever and has not left any clues. However, my subordinates speculate that this person may have a grudge against Mr. Liu."

"Okay, I understand, you can go down." This imperial censor is an extremely important position. He can help him monitor the civil and military officials of the DPRK and China, and he can also control the information coming from various places. Who should be replaced if such a position is vacant?

Substitutes are a problem, not to mention that he has only just ascended the throne and it is still unclear who belongs to which party in the DPRK.

Seeing that Baili Mingxi is currently traveling around the country and has no interest in government affairs, but who knows what he is like in private. She has not yet figured out how many people in the government are his spies, but Baili Mingxuan does not need to

After all, he is a biological brother from the same mother, and besides, his IQ is not that high yet, so there is no need to be careful.

It seems that I have to carefully consider the choice of this censor doctor. This is the most important way for me to get information. (To be continued)
