Mind reading, I used the concubine system to become the empress

That man was the only official other than Wei Zhong who held himself upright.

The man was totally unaware that his thoughts had been revealed.

Still thinking carefully.

Hey, what should I eat for lunch when I get home today? The roast goose in Dongshi seems good.

The braised food in Xishi is also good, it’s so hard to choose.

Just buy them all.

The emperor and Wei Zhong's eyes instantly shifted to him and became strange.

The emperor felt very unlucky.

No wonder this man stood so straight, his mind was filled with food and nothing else.

Wei Zhong also sighed and thought to himself that he never expected his colleagues to be such good people.

Maybe the emperor's gaze was too intense.

Mencius seemed to have realized something. He couldn't help but look up at the emperor, feeling a little puzzled.

Your Majesty, are you looking at me?

He took a quick look at what he was wearing.

There is nothing wrong with it. Your Majesty must be looking at the person behind me.

Then he became contented again.

I've even started thinking about what to eat for dinner.

The emperor was speechless and at the same time very puzzled as to how such a person could become an official!

Is it because of connections? If the recommendation system is not changed, I am afraid that Dayan will be in trouble.

The emperor was dissatisfied and glanced at the people who were whispering. Seeing that no one else had made a report, he became even more angry.

He snorted coldly.

When Chief Steward Zhao saw the emperor's expression, he immediately shouted, "Silence!"

The court suddenly became quiet.

The emperor sneered and said, "Don't you have anything to say about this important matter?"

"I don't know."

The emperor looked sarcastic.

"Duke Zheng, your daughter is also involved in this matter, and you don't know it?"

Duke Zheng, who was named by the emperor, knew that he could not escape responsibility for the matter and only hoped to minimize the losses.

He was ready to blame everything on his uneducated grandson.

Duke Zheng looked terrified: "Your Majesty! I don't know anything! It must be that the boy at home is worried about his aunt, so he hooked up with Qian Shicheng."

"Your Majesty, if you punish him, I will not hesitate."

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my poor parenting and raising such a bastard. I am ashamed to face my ancestors."

When Lin Shu heard this, he was so angry that he spit out bubbles and stared at Duke Zheng.

[He lied. He was the one who secretly helped Qian Shicheng to have correspondence with his bad mother. If it weren't for the Emperor's close watch on the harem, he would have been cuckolded long ago.]

When the emperor heard Lin Shu's blunt words, he coughed twice.

But now that this matter has been exposed, it's no different from being cuckolded.

Due to Lin Shu's angry gaze, Duke Zheng's inner thoughts were exposed.

It must be that the damn girl revealed something, and that's why the emperor caught her.

But it doesn't matter. As long as the letters are burned, the emperor will have no evidence. Then the girl can just deny it and even commit suicide to prove her innocence, and the matter will naturally be over.

The emperor's eyes were full of mockery. "Duke Zheng, do you think that the evidence has been destroyed? As long as the imperial concubine refuses to admit it, I can do nothing about it."

When Duke Zheng heard this, his body froze and he looked at the emperor in shock. The emperor looked like this, I'm afraid he has already got the evidence.

Didn't they burn the evidence?

unless……

Duke Zheng's heart sank, unless the emperor had known about their actions long ago and all the letters had been read by the emperor.

Thinking of this, Duke Zheng's eyes were somewhat dejected.

He didn't expect that the emperor was so scheming at such a young age!

He watched them make all the plans, pretending to be clueless, and even watched his favorite concubine confide in others.

He is so patient and thoughtful, it was not unfair for me to lose.

The more Duke Zheng thought about it, the more disappointed he became, and finally he became completely disheartened.

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable listening to his thoughts. He cleared his throat involuntarily and sat upright, looking calm and as if he had the overall situation under control.

Wei Zhong saw that the emperor had everything under control and thought what Duke Zheng said was true.

I sighed in my heart: I didn't expect that His Majesty is so wise and powerful, and has everything under control. It seems that the clues I found are just a drop in the ocean. Dayan is lucky to have such a Majesty.

Suddenly, the worship of the emperor was heightened.

Lin Shu, on the other hand, was completely confused.

[That's it? Is this the state of the Duke? My father just made up a few words and he is like this. Isn't it obvious that he admitted his guilt? ]

[With this kind of mentality, he is still trying to learn how to rebel. Tsk tsk, I think he is just bored and wants to try the Nine Clans Candy Crush Saga.]

Other ministers in the court had the same idea as Lin Shu, and some even showed disdain for Duke Zheng.

No wonder the Duke Zheng’s Mansion has become increasingly decadent in this generation. It shows that this guy is really no good.

When the emperor produced the evidence of Qian Shicheng's correspondence with Concubine Zheng and Duke Zheng, everyone in the court felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to their foreheads.

This letter of rebellion was usually burned after reading. Now that it was in the hands of the emperor, I was afraid that the emperor had already been keeping an eye on them before they had any idea and secretly replaced the note.

My goodness, no wonder Duke Zheng was like this, it turns out the emperor had known that they were planning a rebellion a long time ago.

Be patient, keep your troops still, and defeat the enemy with one move. Terrible, terrific.

The way they looked at the emperor changed instantly. They originally thought that the emperor was a madman who killed people without blinking an eye.

Now there was more fear in everyone's eyes, and they were also frantically thinking in their minds whether they had done anything suicidal and whether they had been targeted by the emperor.

They looked at the emperor uneasily, and felt that the emperor's eyes were full of threats and warnings.

Lin Shu found the ministers' frightened expressions amusing and looked around, observing this and that.

This allowed the emperor to roughly understand what the court officials were thinking.

It turns out that these people have never taken him seriously since he ascended the throne. They are simply afraid that he will kill someone.

The emperor was a little upset for a moment, but when he saw Lin Shu looking around with a curious look on his face, he felt that there was nothing to be angry about.

With this little lucky star, aren't these ministers now much more obedient?

After all, there is a long time to come, and we will slowly settle the accounts with these old guys later.

Wei Zhong watched all this and felt very happy.

Now that the authenticated physical evidence is in place, everyone is convinced, and no one involved in this matter can escape!

He felt a little proud as he listened to the emperor pronounce the punishment on them.

This is the emperor of their Great Yan. With him around, Great Yan will surely regain its peace and security and reach a higher level.

After the emperor sentenced the Zheng and Qian families to confiscation of their property and extermination of their nine clans, he ended the court meeting and left with Lin Shu.

The remaining relevant personnel will be sentenced by the Ministry of Personnel according to the law.

When Wei Zhong returned home, all the joy in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Because his servants got some information from Wei Lai and Wei Zhi.

The two brothers were stopped on their way to Beijing by someone who promised them money and official positions as long as they listened to them and acted according to the plan.

When Wei Zhong's family is disliked by the emperor, that person will let them replace Wei Zhong and become important officials in the court, thus rising to the top overnight.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhong threw the teacup to the ground in anger. Who on earth is trying to harm my family?

"Have they ever told each other about their identities or any of their characteristics?"

The servant said, "The other party has never revealed his identity and has covered his face. But every time he has a need, he will make a request at a grain store in the East Market. The other party may respond."

Wei Zhong asked his servants to secretly observe the store and called Wei Zhi over.

"Find a way to lure out the contact person. If you can do that, I will spare your life and let you live. If you can't do it, I will make you wish you were dead."

"Think about it carefully. If you agree, go find the butler."

After saying this, Wei Zhong turned away, feeling disgusted if he stayed with this man for even a second longer.
