On the 23rd of the first lunar month, when the New Year's Day came, the envoys from the northern Xinjiang entered the palace to face the Holy Spirit and proposed marriage in their words.
The emperor did not respond, only said that the matter would be discussed later.
Because of the presence of foreigners at the banquet, several princes were considered safe, and they did not fight with each other. However, the envoys from the northern Xinjiang were extremely dissatisfied with King Yu, and they provoked several times in their words, but King Yu responded without pain.
After the banquet, the emperor was preparing to rest. Concubine Qi came to the imperial study with two boxes of account books, and reported to the emperor that the internal affairs department's accounts were wrong. Some people were secretly greedy for money and silver.
After hearing this, the emperor was furious, and immediately called the head of the Internal Affairs Department to inquire, and dispatched staff to check the account books.
The chief of the Department of Internal Affairs was bitten to death and pleaded not guilty, and finally hit a pillar to his death. The three stewards under his command also committed suicide. The account book was checked, and the amount of money that Qi Guifei reported was correct. The emperor ordered the whereabouts of the silver to be traced, and finally found it on Concubine Li.
Before King Ling and Li Qingzhou returned to their mansion, they were announced by the emperor to enter the palace again. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they saw Concubine Li, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and felt bad. The emperor threw the account book to Li Qingzhou for inspection, angrily scolded Li Guifei for mismanaging palace affairs, and ordered an investigation into the whereabouts of the silver. Other officials and stewards in the Department of Internal Affairs were questioned by sticks, and finally someone could not bear the punishment, and explained that everything was done by Concubine Li, and also said that all the money was taken by Concubine Li.
The arranged men are greedy for ink. Concubine Li firmly refused to admit that the supervisor and several important stewards were dead, and the emperor could not convict them without proof of death. Just here, Concubine Li brought someone to report back, saying that she had caught a palace maid who stole. During the interrogation, she was implicated in an old case. The maid explained Concubine Li Gui to Zhou Gui.
The person prescribed medicine and ordered the guards to rape her, causing Zhou Guiren to become pregnant. The interrogation again involved many old cases, and Concubine Li was stunned on the spot.
King Ling knelt down and pleaded for mercy, and his forehead was blue and purple. The emperor ignored it at all, and directly ordered that Concubine Li was demoted to a concubine and temporarily imprisoned in Liuli Palace. Li Guifei cried and fainted, and when she woke up, she was thrown back to her palace. In the past, she was only grounded, and there were palace maids by her side. Now, she is the only one in the huge palace, and she is no longer a high-ranking concubine, but was demoted to a concubine.
For the sake of the eldest prince, she might not even be able to keep her concubine position.
The emperor ordered the internal affairs department to be reorganized. With the secret help of Princess Yide, Concubine Qi took the opportunity to eliminate most of the people who had placed Li Jia'an. Taking the opportunity of rectifying the Internal Affairs Department, Concubine Qi obtained the consent of the emperor to release a large number of the elderly in the palace, and paid special attention to cleaning up the eyes of the Li family. As a result, the eyes and eyes of King Ling and the Li family were less than half. The Li family wanted to fight back, but before they even started, they discovered the products under their hands.
The industry was impacted, and the next investigation turned out to be Yi Baoxuan.
King Ling was very angry, thinking that Qi Ming had completely surrendered to King Jin, and was about to take Yi Baoxuan to vent his anger, but he received news from Qi Ming that King Jin's legs were more than half healed, and he is now practicing walking.
When King Ling found out, he was flustered, and a King Yu had already made him unable to handle it. If another King Jin was added, it would be even more stretched.
In anger, he did not discuss with Li Qingzhou at all, and secretly instructed the nails placed beside King Jin to poison King Jin again.
This time, before Nail could make a move, he was caught by King Jin's people, and the cause and effect were explained under interrogation. The King of Jin took people directly into the palace and put the poison in front of the emperor. The emperor was furious when he heard the words, but more disappointed. He didn't expect that King Ling had become so mad that even his own younger brother did not hesitate to poison him. Although there was no direct attack, he secretly supported King Yu and King Jin to suppress King Ling, and gradually closed in his hands.
power.
It was extraordinarily lively for you to fight with me in the courtroom. Today you have the upper hand, and tomorrow I will be better. Fortunately, the emperor has balanced it, and the entire Dali Dynasty has not been completely messed up.
Mu Yunyao and King Yue had already arrived in Yancheng.
Yancheng is not far from Kyoto, but it is not contaminated with the flashy atmosphere of Kyoto. At this time, it is the end of the year, and the city is full of festive atmosphere, which is extraordinarily lively.
After landing in Yancheng and finding a good inn to rest for a while, Mu Yunyao and King Yue switched to carriages and slowly walked towards Xiayan Village.
It was still early when they arrived, and the smoke from the cooking could be seen in the distance from the village.
Mu Yunyao remembered the Yang family who had taken special care of her and her mother before, and couldn't help but step forward and follow her memory to find it.
Most of the village has not changed, but Yang's house has been replaced with a new house, and the whole yard is much brighter.
The carriage went down, causing many children to come out and follow the carriage from a distance, and some were very excited to point at the tall horses.
When Mr. Yang heard the barking of the dog and came out, he opened the door and saw the guards around the carriage, and his heart was suddenly tense. Just as he was wondering if he should go back and call his husband, he saw an imposing man descending from the carriage.
He was dressed in a dark purple cloud-patterned brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a red gold crown on his head. His face was handsome and his breath was cold. He was even more handsome and arrogant than the gods sung in the play. I feel my legs go weak when I bow.
Just when she didn't know how to react, the Zhijian man turned around and picked up a woman from the carriage. To be precise, it should be a girl. This girl is slender and slender, wearing a silver silk brocade cloak with snow-white burrs, which makes her look extraordinarily warm, making her delicate and sweet face more agile and delicate. She stepped out of the carriage slowly, her cloak swaying during her movements, revealing a beautifully embroidered body
The floristry skirt.
Yang shi looked at the girl who got out of the car, and the more she looked, the more familiar she felt, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yao... Yaoer? Are you Yunyao?"
Mu Yunyao looked at it, Yang's spirit was much better than before, and her clothes were neatly dressed. At this time, she was surprised, but her eyes were full of excitement, and she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Aunt Yang, it's been a long time. I'm gone, are you all right?" When Mr. Yang heard this, his eyes turned red, and he didn't care about the fear of King Yue, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mu Yunyao's hand: "Yunyao, is it really you? Okay, that's great, I've been thinking about you and Sister Su Qing. Where have you been for so long, and why haven't you heard any news at all
Has it come over? Mu Yunyao let the Yang family pull, and the feelings in her heart were also very complicated: "Aunt Lao is concerned, my mother and I are all well. "
