The whole world thinks that I am trying to usurp the throne

One day later, the general of Fuguo, Shi Yuanlu, made great contributions to King Qin, but was innocently framed for treason and imprisoned. Countless people knelt outside the palace gate, begging Emperor Wen to release Shi Yuanlu, but failed.

On another day, more than a dozen officials of the fifth rank and above also jointly signed on the zhezi to plead for the teacher's order.

During the period, I don't know who made up a ballad, pointing out that Emperor Wen was insane, obsessed with women, neglected the government, and practiced nepotism, so that the people were destitute and displaced.

This song spread quickly, and everyone from the children in the market to the women in the palace heard about it.

Emperor Wen had already been hollowed out by wine and sex, and even took aphrodisiacs to have sex with Chen's siblings. Since the day the Zhao family rebelled, he had nightmares every night, and his energy and spirit became worse day by day.

After seeing so many excerpts and hearing Li Chou's report on the situation outside the palace, he was afraid of arousing public grievances, so he ordered a thorough investigation of the person who spread the song, and at the same time released Shi Yuanlu, and ordered Shi Yuanlu to go back to the palace from now on. Called not to return to Beijing, otherwise it will be punished as treason.

Shi Yuanlu led an army that lost nearly a thousand people back to the border. When he left the city, the people lined the road to see him off.

Two days later, Yan Xun was ordered by Emperor Wen to search Zhao's house together with Zhou Cozy.

Yan Xun went to the study room, wanting to check if there were hidden accounts and other things, he flipped through the books on the shelves one by one, and when he came to "Huainanzi", he accidentally pushed the "Huainanzi" in by mistake. Go, the strange thing is that this "Huainanzi" has already been against several cases, why can it still go in?

He simply pushed "Huainanzi" to the end, "Huainanzi" and the books beside it were turned over immediately, and then jumped out in a flash.

He was slightly taken aback, and looked carefully, and found that there were fine gold bars hidden in the dark compartment. He removed all the gold bars, and what was pressed under the gold bars was either something beside him, or the hidden account he was looking for.

This secret account recorded when and where who paid bribes and the amount of gold and silver bribed. He turned a few pages and found Han Shi's name in this secret account!

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, closed them, and looked again. The word "Han Shi" was still firmly attached to the thin and smooth Chengxintang paper——Han Shi, Tiancheng 29 years, the sixth day of July , Liu Ji Tea House, 500 taels of silver.

If the secret account is true, then what is the purpose of bribing Zhao Xi?

The place where the Zhao family stores grain and grass is still unknown, the rice price in the capital has skyrocketed due to rice shortage, so Xiao Yuebai came to Zhao's house a little later.

He heard that Yan Xun was in the study, so he went there unhurriedly, but as soon as he entered the study, he saw Yan Xun with his head down, reading a book, his hands trembling slightly.

Although Yan Xun loves to act coquettish and shameless towards him, he has always been calm, and now that he looks like this, something important may have happened.

Seeing no one around, he called out in a low voice, "Ah Xun."

Hearing the sound, Yan Xun raised his head and looked at Xiao Yuebai, his elegant eyebrows and eyes were full of shock.

Xiao Yuebai took the booklet from Yan Xun's hand and read it carefully, she was also astonished.

"Sir." Yan Xun secretly tore off Xiao Yuebai's sleeves, "What should I do?"

Xiao Yuebai asked instead: "Ah Xun, what do you want?"

Yan Xun was at a loss, his voice became lower, looking at Xiao Yuebai, he asked again: "Sir, what should I do?"

Xiao Yuebai rubbed Yan Xun's forehead hair, and said softly: "Treason is a felony. If this secret account is true, it is unknown whether Han Shi was involved in the treason or just bribed. But if he Involved in the matter of rebellion, why did you tell you and me about the Zhaojia Tunliang matter?"

"Mr. is right, Xingzhi will definitely not have anything to do with the conspiracy, but..." Yan Xun rubbed Xiao Yuebai's palm, "But I have to see Xingzhi before making a decision."

Even though the two haven't met each other for a long time, and they seldom exchanged letters, Han Shi was once a very close person to Yan Xun. Yan Xun's actions were clearly selfish and against the law. For Bai, Yan Xun's wishes are the most important thing, so he just nodded and smiled: "Ah Xun, you go ahead, I will take care of this place, and you will come back as soon as you ask Han Shi, be careful not to be caught by others." Seeing you leave the Zhao residence, so as not to cause trouble."

Yan Xun stood on tiptoe and kissed Xiao Yuebai's lips: "Thank you sir."

Xiao Yuebai said with a smile: "Why do you and I need to thank you?"

Yan Xun avoided the crowd and got out of Zhao's Mansion, and hurried to Han's Mansion. Zhao's Mansion is not far from Han's Mansion, but within two cups of tea, he stood in front of the Han Mansion's door, and was about to knock on the door. Coincidentally, The door opened to the two sides, and it was Han Shi and Mrs. Han who came out.

On the day of Han Shi's burial, Mrs. Han went insane, but as soon as she saw Han Shi alive in front of her eyes, she got better day by day and regained her senses.

Han Shi supported Mrs. Han and reminded softly: "Mother, be careful about the threshold ahead."

Mrs. Han Er said with a smile: "Mother, save it."

Seeing that Mrs. Han had already crossed the threshold, Han Shi raised his head to look at the road ahead. As soon as he raised his head, Yan Xun's figure suddenly came into his eyes.

Yan Xun is his beloved, but he is not loved by Yan Xun.

Han Shi felt a pain in his heart, and his eyes immediately dimmed. After a long time, he smiled unnaturally: "Ah Xun, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you have time to visit me today? Unfortunately, my mother and I are going to visit you today." Going up the mountain to offer incense, I have no time to accompany you, sorry."

Yan Xun noticed Han Shi's strangeness, pretended not to know, but clung to Han Shi's ear, and said in a low voice, "All right, I have something to ask you."

Hearing Yan Xun's solemn tone, it must be something important, Han Shi's heart sank, and he said to the second wife of the court, "Please wait a moment, mother."

Mrs. Han Er nodded, then stepped into the sedan chair waiting at the side and sat down.

Han Shi led Yan Xun to a dark place in the mansion, and asked, "Ah Xun, what do you want to tell me?"

Yan Xun looked at Han Shi's face carefully, and finally, staring at Han Shi's eyes, he cut to the point and said, "All right, did you bribe Zhao Xi, the Patriarch of the Zhao Family?"

Hearing this, Han Shi was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then confessed: "I did bribe Zhao Xi."

In this way, the secret account is real, Yan Xun frowned slightly: "When and where, how much money?"

Han Shi didn't know where Yan Xun knew that he had bribed Zhao Xi, but he expected that Yan Xun would not harm him, nor would he conceal it: "Last year, in the 29th year of Tiancheng, on the sixth day of July, Liu Ji at Jiekou The tea house, a total of 500 taels of silver."

What Han Shi said was exactly the same as what was recorded in the secret account, Yan Xun gasped for breath, and finally asked, "Are you involved in the Zhao family's treason case?"

Han Shi shook his head and said, "I have nothing to do with the Zhao family's rebellion case, but after hearing about the Zhao family's grain storage, I secretly guessed that the Zhao family might want to rebel."

Yan Xun breathed a sigh of relief: "What do you want to bribe Zhao Xi with 500 taels of silver?"

Han Shi pondered for a moment, but smiled: "Ah Xun, you should know that I am not valued in the Han family. My two elder brothers are also capable. I am not as good as them. Unwilling to be buried in the Han family, but fearing that there is no way out, the Zhao family was in full swing before, so what's wrong with me joining the Zhao family?"

Han and Zhao are political enemies, and Empress Zhao and Concubine Han are also incompatible. If Han Shi's defection to Zhao's family is known to everyone in the Han family, there is no need to speak out in the Han family.

Yan Xun immediately went through Han Shi's assassination case in his mind, and asked, "Okay, since you have taken refuge in the Zhao family, why were you assassinated, and why did you tell me and the husband about the Zhao family's grain?"

"Although I took refuge in the Zhao family, I didn't expect that the Zhao family intended to usurp the throne. I never thought of getting involved with the rebels, so I happened to hear about the Zhao family's grain storage, so I hurried back to the capital. It's a pity. The Zhao family has already deceived His Majesty with their beauty, and instead of hoarding food privately, it has turned into following orders." Han Shi smiled wryly, "Actually, I have never met Zhao Xi, the 500 taels of silver was collected by Zhao Xi's confidant, now Come to think of it, Zhao Xi probably never considered reusing me, he just planned to use me as a pawn when dealing with the Han family in the future."

Yan Xun asked in a deep voice: "All right, have you ever benefited from the Zhao family?"

Han Shi categorically denied: "I have never benefited from the Zhao family."

Yan Xun stared at Han Shi with burning eyes: "It's okay, what you just said is true?"

Han Shi said with certainty: "Every sentence is true."

"That's good." Yan Xun's tone became lighter, "In the past few days, Dali Temple Minister Zhou Hezhou may summon you, and you can answer the truth."

Han Shi bowed to express his gratitude, and then said: "I have to go to offer incense with my mother, Ah Xun, if you have nothing else to do, I will not accompany you."

Yan Xun heard that Han Shi's words were unfamiliar, so he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and he didn't show anything on his face: "All right, I'll take my leave now."

He passed Han Shi away and went back to the Zhao Mansion. Seeing Yan Xun coming back, Xiao Yuebai asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Yan Xun roughly recounted the conversation between himself and Han Shi, and said again: "I believe what I say is true."

Xiao Yuebai caressed Yan Xun's eyebrows, and said with relief: "Since this is the case, Han Shi will definitely be fine. He bribed much less than others, and he has never benefited from the Zhao family. Ah Xun, you don't have to worry."

Yan Xun's brows and eyes stretched as soon as Xiao Yuebai's fingertips touched him. He looked up at Xiao Yuebai's pair of peach blossom eyes, and said with a smile, "I will hand over this secret account to Zhou Cozy."

Xiao Yuebai warned: "If Han Shi is summoned by Zhou Co, the fact that he bribed Zhao Xi must be known to the Han family, and it may be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Han family in the future. If you want to help him, you can ask Zhou Co to summon him secretly. Don't let the Han family know about it."

"Mr. is indeed thoughtful." Yan Xun happily bit the corner of Xiao Yuebai's lips, and went to find Zhou Cozy.

After another two hours, the inspection of the huge Zhao family was completed.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, a fire broke out in an abandoned Taoist temple one mile away from the capital, and the fire continued. Fortunately, there were no people nearby, and only some weeds were burned.

When this matter reached Xiao Yuebai's ears, Xiao Yuebai was drinking the newly brewed peach blossom wine at the poetry meeting organized by Yan Xun.

His face was slightly flushed, and he raised his head to look at Yan Xun. Yan Xun's face was hard to distinguish between emotions and anger, but the backs of his hands, which were half hidden in the sleeves of his clothes, were tense, obviously racking his brains to think about poems.

He lowered his head again, and drank a cup of peach blossom wine. This peach blossom wine is not high in alcohol, and the fragrance of peach blossom is overflowing. It is soft in the mouth and lingering in the mouth. The title of this poem meeting is this peach blossom wine.

The abandoned Taoist temple contained grain and grass hoarded by the Zhao family. After Xiao Yuebai was seized yesterday, he had already moved the grain and grass to other places.
