Dressed as the villain's stepmother

The eldest prince could not move, and Jiang Lianzhu felt very unhappy for a moment.

"You don't have to feel so aggrieved."

Liao Yunchuan knew Jiang Lianzhu's temperament best, so of course he saw the reason why Jiang Lianzhu was unhappy.

"What was lost is reaped in the east. Although Xiao Xiyan and the Queen Mother were victorious in this royal temple, it was not so smooth for Prime Minister Xiao in Kyoto. Otherwise, Prime Minister Xiao would not have been with Xiao Xiyan and the eldest prince. On the premise that there is no engagement, let Miss Qianjin of the Prime Minister's Mansion be pregnant with a child."

"You mean, the Prime Minister is also hampered by us?"

Jiang Lianzhu had never been a fool, so she immediately understood the meaning of Liao Yunchuan's words.

However, if you think about it carefully, if Prime Minister Xiao hadn't been pushed too hard, he probably wouldn't have watched his daughter do such a thing as getting pregnant out of wedlock!

In this dynasty, pregnancy out of wedlock was a scandal.

Even if she had an affair with a royal prince and was pregnant with a child, it would still be a shameful thing.

"It's not my fault that you didn't know about this. Although you left the capital behind me, you didn't have time to hear the inside story of the case where the Marquis of Zhenbei and the Third Prince brought the Prime Minister to court."

On that day, Jiang Lianzhu left the capital and went to the royal temple according to the plan she had discussed with Liao Yunchuan.

At the same time, the third prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei, who were responsible for investigating the case of Liao Yunchuan's death, simultaneously attacked the prime minister.

"Before I came here, I heard Zhenbei Hou mention it."

"However, with the things investigated by Zhenbei Hou and the Third Prince at that time, it was impossible to take down the Prime Minister in one fell swoop and convict him!"

Jiang Lianzhu had heard a little bit about the plans of the third prince of Zhenbei Hou.

"Yes, you are right."

Liao Yunchuan fully recognized Jiang Lianzhu's judgment.

"But don't forget one thing. Sometimes, a group of ants can kill an elephant."

"Although Marquis Zhenbei and the Third Prince have no way of overthrowing the Prime Minister immediately, they can eradicate the Prime Minister's right-hand man and the forces that have supported him to this day bit by bit!"

Liao Yunchuan said it very calmly.

Jiang Lianzhu thought for a moment and understood everything.

"Is it possible that the third prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei have a cannibalization plan?"

She never thought that the target of Zhenbei Hou and the others was not Prime Minister Xiao, but the forces around Prime Minister Xiao.

"Well, you guessed it right."

Liao Yunchuan smiled and nodded.

"At the beginning, His Majesty knew that it was impossible for the Third Prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei to directly overthrow the Prime Minister, so the Emperor made two preparations."

"On the surface, the people who obstructed the Prime Minister's actions were the Third Prince and the Marquis of Zhenbei, but behind the scenes, the people who collected evidence to bring down the Prime Minister were you and me. Only by working together can we bring down Prime Minister Xiao and the forces behind him. Catch them all in one fell swoop.”

It is impossible to say that Jiang Lianzhu was not surprised.

Sure enough, the emperor was heartbroken.

The heart of the emperor is unpredictable.

Jiang Lianzhu used to think that the third prince was the prince who was more favored and valued by His Majesty. Now it seems that when everyone in the world really cares about him, they are all pawns in the hands of the emperor.

"Your Majesty wants to use that explosion to eradicate the sub-forces around the Prime Minister?"

After Jiang Lianzhu calmed down, she asked Liao Yunchuan beside her.

"The patrol and the household department."

Liao Yunchuan spit out two groups of people, but Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and didn't find anything wrong here.

"When the incident happened that day, I rushed to the yard to rescue you. On the way, I met people from the patrol team to maintain order. Not only that, the people from the patrol team also entered the fire scene to save people. If these things were revealed to His Majesty, the patrol team would The guards also have merit, so how can they be targeted for eradication?"

She couldn't figure it out.

"This matter actually cannot start with the patrol team alone."

Liao Yunchuan closed the window, lit the charcoal fire in the meditation room, and put a blanket on Jiang Lianzhu's knees. After everything was done, he told the whole story.

"On the seventh day of the lunar month, the court held a meeting to discuss matters. The third prince and the others sued the Prime Minister for taking human lives. Naturally, the Prime Minister refused to admit it."

"So, the Third Prince and the others reported the government agencies related to this matter to the court. Before, I told you that at the place where the explosion occurred that day, there was a family who had stockpiled a lot more black powder than in previous years. , do you still remember?"

Jiang Lianzhu has been listening attentively.

She remembered everything about Liao Yunchuan's death that day.

"Of course, Liu Qingqing also went to investigate afterwards. That family made fireworks."

"That family is not just an ordinary person who makes fireworks and firecrackers. Behind him, he has the father of the prime minister's wife and the Minister of Household Affairs as his backers!"

Liao Yunchuan snorted, revealing the dark transaction in Kyoto.

"Fireworks and firecrackers are a dangerous business, but relying on the power of the Prime Minister's Office and the Minister of Household Affairs, they have been doing business in places where residents gather for more than ten years, but behind this are the Prime Minister's Office and the Minister of Household Affairs. It’s just a way to make money.”

Concealed.

Jiang Lianzhu finally understood the meaning of Liao Yunchuan's words.

"If that place is not an ordinary small shop, then the feedback information submitted by the patrol when they went to search it is not credible! In other words, the patrol is protecting the problematic shop!"

After thinking about it, Jiang Lianzhu slowly put the whole thing together.

"You are right. The leader of the patrol is actually the brother of the Prime Minister's wife. As the Prime Minister's brother-in-law, he naturally wants to cover up the situation for the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

Liao Yunchuan snorted coldly.

"The prime minister's wife's father and her brother, who is the leader of the patrol, are all involved. Now the prime minister should be the one to blame!"

Jiang Lianzhu asked curiously.

"It's impossible for Your Majesty not to see that the Prime Minister intends to murder you!"

"Yes, it was a method that everyone could see. Of course, the Prime Minister couldn't quibble, so he took advantage of the situation and shouted injustice in the court. He kept saying that he failed to restrain his family because of important family and country affairs, and asked Your Majesty Everyone involved must be dealt with severely.”

"hiss!"

Jiang Lianzhu took a breath of cold air.

"The Prime Minister was so courageous that he cut off his right-hand arm! He pushed out the patrol team and the household department, and the seat in the court became vacant. I wonder who got the advantage?"

A strong man cuts off his wrist, but the prime minister is very vicious and cruel to his own people.

Just throw it away.

"His Majesty has long wanted to eliminate the Prime Minister's people. After this position became vacant, he immediately found someone to fill it. In addition, the patrol was handed over to General Cheng Xu who returned to Beijing."
