But it can also be seen how much hatred Li Yao has in his heart.

Yin Chu and Yin Chao looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

This matter is not easy to handle!

……

Daming Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Long'an was looking at the newly submitted papers from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although he knew that Lin Ruhai was a capable minister, he was very relieved to see that the Ministry of Household Affairs had recovered [-]% of the deficit in such a short period of time.

In particular, he was more and more satisfied when he heard that the families of the founding heroes had sold their businesses one after another to repay the deficit in order to show their loyalty and respect.

However, Emperor Long'an once again circled Jia Qiang's name with a red pen.

Jia Qiang!

This young honorable man who was originally planned to be used as a knife really surprised him.

When I first heard what he said to the Supreme Emperor in the Zuixian Tower, I thought it was a villain.

Therefore, Emperor Long'an originally arranged for Jia Qiang, a good minister of the Supreme Emperor, and Jing Chu's former minister to fight to the death, and it is best for both sides to die together.

But after the Jiangnan incident, Han Bin and Lin Ruhai presented several folded papers, coupled with Jia Qiang's various behaviors in Yangzhou Mansion, finally made Emperor Long'an realize that this young man may really be just a straight-hearted man, and he really It is so respectful to the Supreme Emperor.

After he returned to Beijing, this series of events happened, allowing Emperor Long'an to fully see his true nature.

Although she is sharp-edged, her filial piety is commendable, and she is as pure and filial to Lin Ruhai as a child.

For Lin Ruhai's disciples, there would be no problem with being loyal.

And dare to use things, but also bold and ruthless, is indeed a good minister...

Of course, it's not without flaws. She's a little more irritable and reckless. In addition, she's a little more affectionate.

How could Emperor Long'an's ears be hidden from what happened in Rongqingtang that day?

For a girl, you have to make trouble to the point of resigning from office, what a bastard!

However, such a person who is not greedy for power, at least it seems to be the case at present, can be used with confidence.

You are still so young, and you can spend a few years well, so that you can leave it to the successor king and be the minister of the humerus.

As for whether to worry or not, Jia Qiang will sit down...

The emperor is suspicious, but also conceited.

The more ambitious the emperor, the more suspicious, but also the more conceited.

With so many shortcomings Jia Qiang has shown so far, if Emperor Long'an still doesn't have the confidence to control him, then don't be an emperor.

Just as he was satisfied with closing the memorial and was about to deal with the next business, he suddenly heard the report from Huangmen: "The second prince, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, Mrs. Yin Jiatai, and the First Class Marquis of the Ningguo Mansion, Jia Qiang, are seeking an audience outside the palace."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, his brows furrowed immediately, his heart sank, and he said, "Xuan."

After all, he got up and greeted him personally.

Mrs. Che, the wife of the Yin family, is one of the few women in the world that Emperor Long'an rarely respects. He has always believed that the reason why the empress is so virtuous is inseparable from Che's teachings.

There are not many people who understand in this world, and it is even more difficult for an old woman who has been widowed for many years to understand so well.

In addition, when he was in the most difficult last year, Empress Yin went home in person, ransacked her mother's house, and brought several carts of belongings back to the palace, which relieved Emperor Long'an's urgent need.

For so many years, the Yin family has always silently supported him behind the scenes, but never asked for benefits, and strictly abided by their duties. Based on this alone, it is not an exaggeration for Emperor Long'an to stand up and greet him.

Not long after, seeing the servant of the Huang Gate leading the three princes, Mrs. Che and Jia Qiang into the room, Emperor Long'an ordered the fourth and fifth princes to say, "Li Shi, Li Xuan, help you all." Grandmother, please sit down."

The second prince Li Yao's face turned pale, and he knelt down politely.

Naturally, Jia Qiang is indispensable...

Emperor Long'an pretended that he hadn't seen him, and asked Che with a smile, "Mrs. Tai is celebrating her birthday today. I should have congratulated the Empress in person. It was only delayed because of heavy state affairs."

Che said with a smile: "What kind of birthday is not a birthday? I haven't had it in the past many years. The minister's wife is very generous. After serving the emperor, the empress can breathe. With this blessing, I can live a good day. Speaking of which, it is all due to His Majesty's grace."

Emperor Long'an said with a smile: "Hey, this matter is also due to Madam Tai's virtuous virtue, which influences the heavens to send this kindness. Is Madam Tai in good health? Is the family going well, but someone dares to be disobedient and make Madam Tai angry?"

As he spoke, his gaze was like a knife scraping across the face of the second prince Li Yao, which made Li Yao's complexion turn paler.

Mrs. Che said with a smile: "It's still thanks to the great blessing of the emperor. The children in the family are still filial. Having a baby is not an integer. Even five princes are here. It's too much. It can't be like this in the coming year. The ministers can't afford it." ah!"

Emperor Long'an said with a smile: "They should be divided, even if they were born in Tian's family, they should pay more attention to filial piety. It's just that I heard that only four went, why did one go later?"

Li Yao hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Returning to the father, the minister has been thinking about it behind closed doors because he disobeyed the holy will today and angered the father. But I have been thinking about my grandmother's birthday in my heart. Time to kowtow to grandma."

Emperor Long'an snorted, and was about to say something when he saw the Queen coming in from the outside and said with a smile: "It's good to hear that my mother has entered the palace to thank you, so my concubine came to have a look. My mother is also old, so it is Xie En, You should hand in the booklet first, and you shouldn't disturb the emperor's state affairs."

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, he immediately waved his hands and said, "Hey, what do you call the empress? Mrs. Tai is not even invited by me, so I am very happy to be here, what else can I pass?"

Empress Yin hurriedly stepped forward to hold down Che Shi who got up to give her a national salute, and said with a sneer: "The emperor is not willing to accept your salute, so mother wants me to take it?"

Che said with a smile: "National rituals can never be abolished." After a pause, he pointed to Jia Qiang and said, "You sent this to your home. I am very satisfied with it, and I have also discussed it with Mrs. Rong Guotai." , recognized this grandson-in-law. This is the first time he begged me today, and it was because of his mother's fault, so I had no choice but to come to the palace brazenly and beg for favors from the emperor!"

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Long'an and Empress Yin were startled. After looking at each other, Empress Yin said with a smile: "It turned out to be my fault..." Then, she looked at Jia Qiang and said, "Ninghou, you Tell me about it, what is wrong with me?"

Jia Qiang said in a deep voice: "How dare I say the fault of the mother of the country? I just want to tell Mrs. Tai that there are people in the palace with ulterior motives who pretend to be the empress and want to provoke a death struggle between the minister and the second prince, so they have the audacity to beg Go to Madam Tai and ask Madam Tai for help!"

Empress Yin's complexion changed suddenly when she heard the words, and she sternly reprimanded: "Bold! Jia Qiang, what nonsense are you talking about? People with ulterior motives? How can there be people with ulterior motives in the palace? You are teaching me a lesson and disciplining the six palaces without virtue. ?”

Jia Qiang did not give in, but looked at Empress Yin stubbornly and said, "If it weren't for someone with ulterior motives, how could they accuse Xue's daughter of entering the second prince's residence?"

Empress Yin was completely baffled, and became more and more furious, saying: "What are you talking about? The daughter of the Xue family, the daughter of the Kong family, since she is named in the Ministry of Rites, it means that she is a duty and her blessing to serve in the prince's mansion. Can you pick and choose here? Although Li Yao made a mistake and was punished by his father, he is still the son of the emperor and the palace. Who gave you the courage to meddle in palace affairs? I see You are so proud of being favored, you have lost your head!"

Hearing this, Li Yao burst into tears after being aggrieved for a long time. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Father, Queen Mother, Jia Qiang humiliated my son several times. Just now, she was still mocking my son in front of my grandmother's house. Heavenly family. My son, my son begs the emperor and mother to be the master, if my son is really not a heavenly family, I would rather die!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Long'an's expression turned extremely gloomy, and he looked at Jia Qiang solemnly.
