A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Shen Zhao saw Li Chaoyun's cold eyes and heard her impatient tone, but Shen Zhao thought that she had not completely let go of her worries.

As a couple, even if there is a rift between them, they can't stay cold to each other forever. When she returns to the Shen family, he will coax her well.

He said a few more nice words and then turned and left.

Seeing Shen Zhao leave the main room, Li Chaoyun turned around and returned to the inner room.

As soon as I entered the inner room, I was hugged and heard a man's deep and hoarse voice in my ears.

"Why is it taking so long? I can't wait any longer..."

More than an hour later, Li Chaoyun changed his clothes and entered the palace. At this time, the palace gates were already locked, but the East Palace was in the outer palace, so it was not difficult for Li Chaoyun to see the prince.

The prince met Li Chaoyun in a side hall of the East Palace and asked as soon as he entered the room, "Why are you here to see me so late at night?"

Li Chaoyun stood up, performed the family ceremony, called his cousin, and then said, "We found traces of outsiders walking around the place where those things were hidden. To be on the safe side, Shen Zhao ordered the things to be moved to another place."

"I came here today to ask my cousin if we should find a proper place to put those things."

The prince's face darkened when he heard this. "Do you know who is investigating?"

Li Chaoyun shook his head. "Maybe he was hunting, or maybe... he was someone with ulterior motives."

The prince said in a deep voice: "We can't be careless. Shen Zhao did a good job this time. Let's move the things out first."

Li Chaoyun was worried. "Cousin, in my opinion, that thing needs to be placed in a safe place. It would be better to find a place deep in the mountains far away from the capital and let the craftsmen concentrate on research."

The prince was silent, muttering, "A safe place..."

Then the prince thought, "I know where to put it safely. The safest place is of course the Military Equipment Bureau."

Li Chaoyun was puzzled. "Cousin, sending it to the Military Equipment Bureau is equivalent to handing it over to the court, right? By then, these things will have nothing to do with you, cousin."

They had gone to great lengths to get this thing to the capital. If it was really handed over to the court, not to mention the crown prince, even Li Chaoyun would not be willing to accept it.

Especially in the current situation of the Li family, Li Chaoyun is eager to help the prince ascend the throne. Shen Zhao is the merit of following the dragon, and Li Yunzhou no longer has the emperor's protection.

The prince shook his head and said, "My goal is not to get these firearms, I want to make firearms."

"But how many days have passed? Those people have been researching in the mountains all day, but they haven't figured out anything yet."

"A few days ago, I placed a trusted aide in the Military Equipment Bureau. If these things were in the Military Equipment Bureau, do you think those people would study them day and night?"

Li Chaoyun thought for a moment and blurted out, "That's a good idea. As long as they figure it out, we can find someone to do it outside."

But then she curled her lips again: "Then these things are handed over to the court for nothing? I am unwilling to do so."

The prince's eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "If we can't give it to the court for nothing, then... we can kill two birds with one stone. What if this thing was bought by the third brother? What would father do?"

"We'll take this opportunity to get rid of the third brother, and then send this thing to the Military Equipment Bureau. When the Military Equipment Bureau figures out how to make it, we'll make it ourselves outside. As long as we make it first, we'll win."

Li Chaoyun also thought that this method was good, but how to lead this thing to King Cheng was a problem.

When the two were discussing how to plan their layout, someone suddenly came in to report.

"Your Highness, the King of Loyalty has begun searching the mountains behind Yuanping Town in the suburbs of Beijing."

"Lord Shen Zhao sent a secret letter, asking Your Highness what to do."

The prince narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed, "Song Hongshen... why would he search the mountain for no reason? Was it the order of the emperor father?"

The eunuch who delivered the message shook his head and said, "We don't know yet. Our people are investigating."

The prince slapped the table beside him and said, "It's too late. There's no way it can be led to the third brother. It's really a good deal for him. Tell Shen Zhao to bury the things on the spot as a last resort."

"Anyway, this thing will end up in the Military Equipment Bureau, so we still have a chance. It's just a pity, it's such a good opportunity to get rid of the third brother."

Li Chaoyun suddenly came up with an idea.

"Cousin, since we can't get rid of King Cheng, why not find someone else? Let's take this opportunity to get rid of Shen Zhixiu, and then there will be no one to compete with Lord Chen for power."

The prince's expression changed when he heard this, "Do you have a solution?"

Li Chaoyun nodded, "Although I can't guarantee that it will be foolproof, I can still let Shen Zhixiu have a good drink."

After that, the two of them conspired for half an hour. The prince nodded frequently, agreeing with Li Chaoyun's plan.

He never thought of using Shen Zhixiu after he ascended the throne, so it would be a good thing if he could get rid of him early.

The emperor has been paying much attention to Shen Zhixiu these days. If this continues, your position as the chief minister of the cabinet will be in name only.

Afterwards, the prince sent a secret letter to Shen Zhao, setting a tight net for Shen Zhixiu.

Shen Zhixiu didn't sleep well all night, waiting for news from Song Hongshen. But Song Hongshen didn't send a message to Shen's house until dawn, but he didn't find any suspicious people or things.

Shen Zhixiu was not surprised. Those who could do this for the prince must be loyal confidants. The matter was of great importance, so those people must be extremely cautious.

But since the search had already begun, he couldn't stop. He sent a message to Song Hongshen, asking him to expand the search area.

Afterwards, Shen Zhixiu got up, changed his clothes and went to court as usual.

In Qianyang Palace, several imperial censors looked tense today. It was hard to tell whether they were nervous or excited, or maybe both.

Jin Zhian, the Deputy Chief Censor of the Censorate, suddenly stepped forward and with just a few words he stunned all the civil and military officials in the Qianyang Palace, including Emperor Xuande.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lord Shen Zhixiu."

"He actually secretly used food and fodder to win over the Northern Frontier soldiers in an attempt to buy off their hearts."

"Mr. Shen is in a high position of power, and this move is suspected of subverting the government."

After Censor Jin finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Elder Shen is starting to take over the military power? This is no small matter.

If it were really confirmed, not only Lord Shen, but the entire Shen family would collapse in an instant.

Shen Zhixiu looked puzzled. What was going on? If he remembered correctly, Censor Jin was the prince's man, but most people didn't know that.

The prince secretly won over a lot of people, but did not show it on the surface, just waiting to use them at the critical moment.

It seems that the prince is determined to take action against him this time, otherwise he would not have thrown out Censor Jin.

Emperor Xuande frowned and looked at Censor Jin, "What do you mean by this? Explain it clearly, don't make me guess."

Censor Jin said loudly, "Your Majesty is very insightful. I have received news that a few days after the grain and grass in the northern border were robbed a few years ago, Lord Shen sent people to deliver grain and grass to the northern border. The quantity was quite large."

"I have asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, but they are all unaware of the matter."

"I cannot understand why Lord Shen would pay for this out of his own pocket."

"But I don't believe he has no ulterior motives. After much thought, I think he is after the military power in the northern border."

"Prince Ning is still young, and there is no guarantee that he will not be deceived and do something foolish. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly. Otherwise, I am afraid that if something really happens, with Elder Shen's talent and knowledge, the country will be ruined."

A sneer flashed in Shen Zhixiu's lowered eyes. Censor Jin actually did not forget to praise him.

They said that with his talent and knowledge, the country would be ruined. Doesn't that mean that his power is too great and has reached the point of shaking the foundation of the country?

Emperor Xuande couldn't believe it. Did Shen Zhixiu really use his own money to support the war in the northern border?

Based on his understanding of Shen Zhixiu, he would not do such a thing.

Even if I really did it, I wouldn't hide it.

So he did not scold Shen Zhixiu, but continued to ask Censor Jin, "Where is the evidence? Impeaching the current cabinet vice minister is not something that can be done with words."
