Master Yi's behavior was no different from directly admitting the words of depression, his face changed again and again, and he slowly retracted the hand that was stretched out in the air.
He could see the imprint on the paper very clearly, it was used to communicate with the capital, and the detailed arrangements for inciting the common people to slander Sullen were passed on to those who stayed in the capital to work on the paper with this imprint.
Now that Shen Yu is holding one of them, is the rest also in his hand? Not only this incident was written in his letter to the capital, but also many other things that should not be known to outsiders.
Thinking of the consequences of His Majesty knowing about those things, Master Yi's face was ashamed.
"Can you plead guilty?"
Master Yi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, was awakened by a slightly chilly voice. He looked forward in panic, and after a long while, he kowtowed heavily: "I am guilty."
Sure enough, Shen Yu put away the letter paper in his hand, Shi Shiran walked back to Shang Junlin, and sat down: "Why are you targeting me? As far as I know, the Yi family has no plans to send their children into the palace."
After the incident with the woman from the Tan family, Shang Junlin sent someone to check which worlds had actions, and there was no Yi family in it. It can be said that the Yi family never had such an idea from the beginning to the end.
Mr. Yi was silent.
Shen Yu broke his fingers: "Let me guess, it's because of Yi Jianming?"
Since there is no conflict of interest in the matter of the harem, it must be that he has done something unfavorable to the Yi family in other places. I searched my memory gloomyly, and there is only one thing that can be matched.
"Yi Jianming was deprived of his imperial examination results, and he will not be allowed to be an official in this life. He was cultivated by your Yi family with a lot of energy. Unfortunately, he has become a waste before doing anything for the family. You are not reconciled, so you pointed the finger at me , do you think that Yi Jianming would not be punished by His Majesty if I hadn't appeared on the day of the Qionglin Banquet?"
Every word of the gloomy words hit Mr. Yi's mind. Since he was a child, he has never encountered such a mistake. Yi Jianming is the child he values. Among the juniors of the Yi family, he likes him the most. Loser to others, the successor he had placed high hopes on, was ruined just because of a small incident!
How could he swallow this breath!
After that incident, although Yi Jianming didn't suffer any physical injuries, the child's mental state had undergone a huge change. He was in a daze all day long, and he still looked like a son of a noble family.
As for those who went to the Qionglin Banquet with Yi Jianming, of course he did not let them go. They were just small families that depended on the Yi family, and it was easy to clean them up.
"Since Your Majesty and Your Majesty know everything, I have nothing to say." Master Yi collapsed to the ground.
The aristocratic family and the poor family have had a long-standing grievance, and they are not surprised that Jiang Huaiqing, who seems to have no foundation, is depressed. The court is like this. It is always accompanied by intrigues, infighting, and political enemies. Now the court seems to be stable , is already the result of Shang Junlin's exhaustion of mental balance.
"I would like to know, how did your lord get the letter?" The thing that directly made Mr. Yi unable to quibble was the rolled up letter paper that Shen Yu took out, and he would only choose his confidant to send letters. And if they find out, they will use all means to destroy the letter, and no one knows the channel of the letter, so why did the letter end up in Shen Yu's hands
Mr. Yi couldn't figure it out.
"You ask this." Sullen glanced down, "What do you think?"
Master Yi was taken away by the guards waiting outside, and before he left, he didn't get a gloomy answer.
Of course, Shen Yu would not tell him that the letter was specially used to blow him up.
"Ayu's ability to imitate is really amazing." Shang Junlin reached into Sullen's sleeve, and took out the piece of paper on which Master Yi's expression changed drastically.
During this period, the fingertips slid across the soft skin, causing tremors.
Shang Junlin hugged Shen Yu from behind, stretched his hands around his waist and stretched out to the front, and unfolded the letter paper.
If Mr. Yi were here and saw the letter paper being slowly unfolded, he would definitely scold him shamelessly.
——Except for the pattern painted on the end, there is nothing on this piece of paper.
In the beginning, they really had no clue about the person who planned this matter behind the scenes. Later, Shang Junlin listened to Sullen's suggestion, followed the plan, and ordered Yinlongwei to search along the road secretly. The focus was on every road leaving the palace. They caught a messenger.
It's just that when the man saw that he was discovered, he destroyed the letter on his body immediately. Yinlongwei sent the news back and brought back the destroyed letter. Shen Yu restored it according to the patchwork pattern and made a letter. The letters are almost the same, but the fake ones are fake after all, Master Ruoyi might be able to find something wrong if he wasn't distracted by Shen Yu's words.
It's a pity that there is no if.
"The rumors in the capital have been brought under control. Now that the culprit has been found, the Xinggong should also deal with it." If it weren't for Shen Yu's desire to lure the snake out of the hole, Shang Junlin would never have allowed these rumors to spread in the Xinggong for so many days.
"What does Your Majesty plan to do?" Sullen's wrist was held, and the man's callused fingertips intentionally or unintentionally rubbed the inside of his wrist, bringing a tingling sensation.
If it was Shang Junlin in the past, he would definitely kill the person who spread the rumors directly, but now he knows that Shen Yu doesn't like this, so he was silent for a while, and asked: "Ah Yu, how do you want to deal with them?"
Turning his head gloomyly, he looked at Shang Junlin: "Your Majesty, the leaders, can deal with it as he wants. As for the others, they will be fined for one year, so as to make an example."
The rumors came and went quickly, and within half a day, no one in the palace dared to talk about it. As for the capital, Shang Junlin had already had people suppress the rumors.
The people in the capital are not as easy to fool as Master Yi thought. After the news of what Master Yi did was reported to the capital, everyone suddenly realized.
"As I said before, your lord would not do such a thing. Look, now that the result has come out, your lord was indeed framed by someone."
"Master Yi...does it have anything to do with that Yi Jianming who was disqualified from the imperial examination because he was jealous of a poor student and wanted to deal with him?"
"The surname is Yi, what do you think?"
"No wonder he wants to slander your lord. If your lord hadn't been there, the poor students would have been bullied by others, right?"
His words received a lot of echoes. There are many aristocratic families in the capital, and there are more ordinary people. These aristocratic families are used to being superior and think they are superior. The senses of ordinary people are really not good for them. They are more able to bring in poor students.
"Not only this, have you forgotten that the fraud was discovered in time before the imperial examination? It was also discovered by your lord. If you are so considerate, how could you kill a woman because of jealousy?"
"When those words first came out, I felt that something was wrong. Before Your Majesty entered the palace, there were no people in His Majesty's harem. After Your Majesty entered the palace, His Majesty even said that there is only Your Majesty in this life. You just fell in love with another woman, and you want to bring that woman into the harem?"
"If Your Majesty really had the heart, the harem would have been full long ago. It's not like the ministers haven't mentioned this a few years ago. Don't you think it's suspicious?"
"So there is no such thing as His Majesty wanting to recruit new people. Since there is no such thing, the fact that Your Majesty set fire to others because of jealousy cannot be established."
"I have a cousin who works in an aristocratic family. Do you know that just a few days ago, the aristocratic family was reprimanded by His Majesty. The reason is that a woman from the aristocratic family intentionally approached His Majesty and was sent off. It is not the noble lord but His Majesty himself... "
Speaking of this, I understand what should be understood. The causal relationship was wrong from the beginning. If this is the case, no matter how high-sounding the reason behind it is, it will not hold water.
Restaurants and teahouses were discussing this matter, and under the deliberate guidance of some people, the wind reversed quickly.
"Finally, the truth is revealed, and I'll say Brother Yu is not that kind of person." Jiang Huaiqing listened to the discussion of the people downstairs, and poured himself a glass of wine.
He Chengyu picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are as strong as gold, it's impossible for a random person to get involved."
"That's right, I don't know what these aristocratic families are thinking. His Majesty has made it clear that the harem will not be filled, and they are still going on."
"Since ancient times, the wealth and power have moved people's hearts. What they fancy is the power represented by His Majesty's death. The appetite of the aristocratic family is getting bigger and bigger."
Jiang Huaiqing also knew this. After he really stepped into the court, he felt the huge difference between Dahuan's interior and his imagination. The seemingly stable appearance was only supported by a strong pillar. Once this pillar It's only a matter of time before it collapses.
He also understood why His Majesty would reuse officials from poor families, not because of his preference, but because the court has been controlled by the family for a long time, if there is no force to fight against it, the imperial power will become a joke sooner or later.
Mr. Yi was repatriated in advance, and the crimes he committed were also reported to the world. The power of the Yi family that had taken root in the capital for many years was quickly divided up by other families.
"The competition between aristocratic families is worse than that between aristocratic families and poor families. If you think that they will be united as one, it is a big mistake." Said Bai Zi depressedly.
Under the shade of the tree, Shang Junlin and Shen Yu sat opposite each other, and between them was a chessboard made of rosewood, which Shang Junlin specially ordered the palace staff to find out from the warehouse.
Shang Junlin held the sunspot in his hand, and immediately dropped it: "Actually, in comparison, the aristocratic family and the royal family are similar. In the war-torn era of the previous dynasty, there was always a saying of 'a dynasty with iron-clad family and flowing water'."
Before the founding of Dahuan, this land had experienced a century of wars, and it was not until the establishment of Dahuan that this situation was improved.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to win."
On the chessboard, with the fall of the last white piece, the situation reversed instantly. The white piece that was originally at a disadvantage surrounded the sunspots layer by layer with lightning speed, and cut off all their retreats.
Shang Junlin threw back the chess piece in his hand, and said simply, "I admit defeat."
"Your Majesty lost today, but you must do what you say."
"Of course, I won't mess with you tonight."
Shen Yu was slightly relieved, seeing that there was no abnormality in his body after that time, Shang Junlin wanted to make trouble with him every time, calling it "more adaptable".
Shen Yu felt that she didn't want to get used to this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty," Eunuch Meng came quickly, with a rare panic on his face, "Master Xun Chao Xun has something to ask to see you."
"Let him come in and see me."
Eunuch Meng led the order to go out, and not long after, a slightly embarrassed man in his thirties came in: "Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Subei, please give relief as soon as possible!"
