King Qin and the second prince fought fiercely outside, but the capital gradually stabilized.

After the emperor resumed the early dynasty, he decisively dealt with several officials who were usually close to the King of Qin, and even the families who were closely related to the King of Qin were put on the line.

Among them was the Li family who had been granted a marriage to Teng Yu by the emperor at the time. The position of political governor was withdrawn, and he was demoted three levels in a row, and was sent to a remote place to serve.

The emperor's thunderous tactics turned towards the center, and the unstable ministers gradually put away their sharpness, and the officials who were actively standing in line were not so enthusiastic, and they kept their own place as if they had never known the princes.

After dealing with the unstable factors in the court, the emperor brought up the case of Jiangnan Salt Affairs and lost his temper. In addition to the list submitted by Teng Yu, several others were beheaded and exiled.

The ministers listened in horror, not daring to answer, for fear that the emperor would burn his anger on himself.

How many people standing in this hall are really clean and spotless?

On the contrary, the Minister of Dali Temple seized the time to read Teng Yu's book, saying that he exceeded his authority to handle the case with impure thoughts, and he did not take the court laws or His Majesty seriously.

His evidence has not been verified, and the judgment on this case is too arbitrary. He even imprisoned and beheaded officials without the consent of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple.

The accusations made Teng Ze useless, and before the emperor expressed his opinion, Teng Yu quit, threw up his sleeves and left, not going to court for half a month.

Seeing this, the minister of Dali Temple certainly refused to let go of this great opportunity, saying that he was guilty and asked the emperor to discipline him strictly, otherwise he would become more and more courageous in the future, wouldn't he even kill a first-rank official if he dared to say so?

This person was originally Teng Yu's deadly enemy, and everything he said about the emperor was discounted, but after experiencing the betrayal of King Qin, the emperor became more cautious about those who could threaten his throne.

Therefore, among the three princes, he neither clearly favored anyone nor overly rejected anyone. Ren Dali Temple Secretary was impassioned, but he only fined Teng Yu half a year's salary.

God knows when the third prince lived on his salary.

This innocuous punishment naturally made people see clearly the emperor's attitude towards this matter. In the case of Jiangnan, no one dared to speak again.

The list of officials drafted by Teng Yu did not include the chief and deputy envoys of the Salt Affairs Department. He knew that this was the emperor's heart disease, and people who were not appointed by him might not be there for long.

There was a reason why Teng Yu didn't go to the court. Yin Xu went to the main altar of the Devil's Cult, and he didn't get over it after half a month.

"Your Highness, Seventh Young Master ordered someone to deliver something." Han Sen pushed open the gate of Jingge Garden and stood respectfully at the door.

Teng Yu was lying under the tree drowsy, and immediately regained his energy when he heard this, "He didn't come back?"

"Never seen."

"Let people bring things to this yard, and they all shouted." Teng Yu stood up, fastened his long and flowing black hair behind his head with a hairpin, and tightened his fur coat.

It was getting colder and colder, and Teng Keng didn't know if he was infected by Yin Xu, and he even hated the cold winter.

More than twenty guards came into Jingge Garden with a dozen large boxes, and placed the boxes side by side in front of Teng Yu.

Teng Yu recognized that these guards were all those who were rewarded by the emperor. Unexpectedly, Yin Xu trusted them and dared to let them act alone.

"Where's your master?" Teng Yu pretended to be calm and asked.

"The master is still in Qixia Mountain, and the position of the leader has been settled, but the elders in the religion are stubborn and need time to train them."

Teng Yu felt that he was troublesome, and there was nothing for the old men to teach them. After the training, they would not have a good life for a few years.

"Then what are these sent?"

"The subordinates don't know, but the master only said that it's a good thing, and it's safe to keep it at home."

"Does he have anything else to say?"

The leading guard took out a thick letter from his pocket and handed it over, "Master said, it is very important for you to read and reply to the letter!"

Teng Yu frowned, and accepted the letter, "Then you all leave, Han Sen arranges for them to rest, and when they leave, take Qingsheng and Wang Ren away together, they are his apprentices anyway, so we can't let them go forever." I am in foster care."

Han Sen agreed with a low eyebrow, but he was a little reluctant to let Wang Ren go out.

After the people left, Teng Yu opened the boxes one by one. After finishing more than a dozen boxes, he felt that his eyes were about to be blinded.

No wonder Yin Xu was worried about putting these things in the Devil's Cult, no wonder he said they were good things, what a good lady with an elbow in her head.

Half of the dozen or so large boxes were filled with gold, silver and jade wares. The gold and silver were piled up in boxes, which looked pleasing. There was also a box of books, two boxes of medicinal materials, and three boxes of weapons.

He opened Yin Xu's letter, thinking it might be some important information. After all, the guard had a serious face just now, but it turned out to be just Yin Xu's daily nagging.

Moreover, Teng Yu was a little dizzy with his handwriting like a dog crawling. He thought: No wonder he had to cover it so tightly, probably because he was afraid of being seen?

"...The life in the mountains is easy and leisurely, and I live very well, but there are many poisonous insects and poisonous things, and they always like to play hide-and-seek with me. Later, I got tired of playing with them, so I sent out thousands of disciples in the sect to wipe out all the poisonous things around me. I caught them, not to mention, there are quite a lot of them, it's a pity to think about wasting them, and I can't finish them, so I ordered people to dig a deep pool, intending to raise them for the benefit of future generations... There are so many strange people in this mountain, and there is an old man who likes them In spite of my beautiful appearance, I still want old cows to eat young grass after a lot of age. That night, he put aphrodisiac incense in my room, trying to sneak into my room secretly with the intention of committing crimes. The old man had scars on his face and his eyes were cloudy , yellow teeth, and bad breath, I refused to do so, removed his descendants, and threw him into a deep pool. Unfortunately, his old skin was yellow, and the pets didn't even want to talk, so I had to let him roam free I'm alive... I stole the things I sent home from the forbidden area in the back mountain, and it's not considered stealing. They belong to me anyway. I just took some of them home, and a fool would put all the eggs in In the same basket, you keep it on your behalf. As a storage fee, the three boxes of weapons will be given to you... Don’t blame me for being stingy. I wiped it, so the three boxes in your hand may be the last money, remember to chew slowly... Oh, I also found a strange thing, the one surnamed Zuo and the one surnamed Right have fallen out recently, One morning I saw a man surnamed Zuo coming out of a room surnamed You. I knew what was going on with his lazy body and walking posture. Another soldier, the surnamed You ate clean and wiped his mouth and refused to admit it. Seeing him suffer from a dumb loss, I feel better for many days... Although the scenery in this mountain is beautiful, it is cold, and I will always wake up from the cold at night, and I can't get out of it. I want a hand stove to save face, and many beauties recommended themselves as pillows and said they would warm my bed. I despise them for being too shady, and I don’t know who will warm the bed for whom when they sleep together..."

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth twitched, and when he read the end of the letter, Yin Xu expressed his miss for him in a tactful tone, which dissipated the sour feeling he had just had.

Teng Yu entered the room and quickly wrote a reply letter. There were only two words on a thin piece of paper: "Looking forward to returning!"

He ordered people to put everything back into the warehouse, except for the three boxes of weapons.

After finding Han Qing, Teng Yu asked him to personally take people to Huizhou and send these things to Guo Yanshan's secret processing factory.

"It's just right, take a message to Yu Xuezhong, let him prepare for the transfer."

"Your Highness, the matter has been settled? Your Majesty..." Although the emperor was cured of the poison, his previous bad temper remained. He played a naysayer.

This is probably the sequelae of being betrayed.

"This hall will let Yu Xuezhong's name appear in front of him." Teng Yu didn't intend to use the people around him this time, so it was normal for Han Qing not to know that things were going on.

Han Qing nodded, saluted and exited the room.

Three days later, the new salt envoy was selected, and it was indeed Yu Xuezhong. The response from the court was mediocre, except for some acid words, no one objected.

Yu Xuezhong was able to sit on the magistrate's position at a young age, and he was full of talent and ability. It was just because he was an official outside the country all year round and kept a low profile. When this name came out, some people in the court did not even remember who is he.

After getting to know his life and thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was a man with no relatives and no reason, which saved a lot of trouble.

Although some careful people found that Huizhou was the place where the third prince went to relieve the disaster at the beginning of the year, the two sides must have communicated, but recalling the memorial sent by the magistrate at that time, it seems that they did not speak too radically to the third prince. Nothing bad, neither salty nor bland, like a stranger.

The emperor was very satisfied with this, and after comparing several candidates repeatedly, he was selected.

When Teng Yu got the news, he just smiled, not surprised, this time he followed Cheng Yi's contacts, he was a staunch royalist in the eyes of outsiders, and the people he recommended were naturally neutral.
