Your Majesty, after he played stupid and overturned the car

In the middle of the night, there was a drizzle in Yijing, and there was an oil lamp in the sleeping hall, and the broken light dimly seeped into the couch from the bed curtain.

Ming Wanzhao was overwhelmed by something in his heart and couldn't sleep peacefully, so he sat up slowly and carefully.

As soon as he moved, Lu Yunchuan opened his eyes with a feeling, and brought him back into his arms with his arms around his waist.

"Why did you wake up?"

Ming Wanzhao's forehead rested on his shoulder, like a young animal seeking comfort, his long eyelashes cast a small shadow, and after a long while, he said softly: "Ge Tongqian escorted the disaster relief funds to Jiangdong, and exchanged the relief funds for Sha Shi transported the money back without anyone noticing, and with his courage, he would not dare to be so presumptuous, so the money was not for himself, and the testimony said that the money was handed over to Lu Zuoxian, so it must be true."

Lu Yunchuan woke up, stroking the little emperor's cool and soft hair with one hand, like stroking a cat.

"The aristocratic family made money, but from the year when the Northern Xinjiang people entered Liang in the Shengyuan period, there were mountains of corpses and blood in the east of the Jiangdong. Not to mention the harvest, even the people were gone, and even Lingxi suffered. But the imperial court was poor, but the aristocratic family was not poor. If Longnan didn't end up with refugees everywhere, even if people died, the imperial court wouldn't pay for it."

In the end, the money was paid out, and it was returned halfway through.

It is conceivable why the Jiedu envoy Kong Bi committed suicide, his family members died tragically and his son disappeared, and seeing the carts of sand and dirt sent by Yijing, how could he not feel ashamed?

Ming Wanzhao was silent for a while, and said: "Lu Zuoxian wants so much money, not only for glory, I'm afraid he has other uses."

"Zhechong Military Mansion in Yijing is under the management of the Ministry of War. There should be more than a hundred thousand soldiers and horses. With Yue Tinggu here, the clothes should be good enough for use. This is a big expense."

Ming Wanzhao frowned, hesitated to speak.

"But Lu Zuoxian will definitely not leave his wealth and life in the hands of others." Lu Yunchuan changed the topic. "Money can be of great use. Raising soldiers and raising horses costs money, Your Majesty."

"You know that Lu Zuoxian raised private soldiers." Ming Wanzhao's voice was also very soft in the silence.

Lu Yunchuan opened his eyes, and looked at Ming Wanzhao who was nestled by his side. He seemed to have a bit of affection, but he didn't know what to think of. A cold light flashed from his brown eyes, like a white blade.

"It's not difficult to guess." Lu Yunchuan kissed him on the forehead, coaxing: "After dealing with Lu, you are the real monarch of Daliang."

Lu Zuoxian's daring to walk with Qi Yan is enough to prove that he has nothing to fear. His confidence lies in the aristocratic family and also in the Lu family.Shijia will not stand by

Watching the chief minister of the cabinet die in prison, they are united in sympathy, trapping the roots of the girder in a tangled knot, and feeding themselves with the flesh and blood of the people all the time.

Su Jinhuai waved his knife, wanting to cut off the root of this coil, because he had already realized that the mutual consumption between the poor family and the aristocratic family cannot be balanced for too long, and only the poor family's children without roots will be consumed.If he continues to remain silent, the situation that has been achieved through years of painstaking efforts will be destroyed in one go.Since he made a move, he was desperate, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow.

In the past, there was Ming Rongri, even though he had no real power, he could help each other with Su Jinhuai, but now there is only Ming Wanzhao who is pretending to be crazy, so Su Jinhuai has to fight.

This is what Ming Wanzhao is happy to see.

To the aristocratic family, Huairou is tantamount to connivance, and the only way to do it is to draw from the bottom!

When the chess game has not reached the final move, no one knows what the outcome will be. Daliang is at the end of his life, and Ming Wanzhao is a pawn trying to turn the tide.

He opened his eyes but didn't speak, but his phoenix eyes seemed to hide thousands of words.Lu Yunchuan then kissed the delicate and beautiful corners of his eyes again, and said softly, "Go to sleep." It's almost dawn. "

In the prison, Lu Zuoxian and Su Jinhuai sat on the floor across the fence.

Su Jinhuai said calmly: "Old Lu Ge, I never imagined that one day, you will also enter this prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Ten years of sharpening your sword, Ji Yuan, you must have put in a lot of effort for today." Lu Zuoxian smiled calmly, "The world is like a new game of chess, this game of chess has not been finished yet, right now I am in prison , Maybe it will be changed tomorrow.”

Su Jinhuai was not annoyed either, he was silent for a few breaths, and then slowly said: "When you were an official in the past, you were high-spirited and full of ambition. But now, as Lu Ge is old, there are few loyal ministers in the court, and there are only a few capable ministers. Instead, you are treacherous. Da Liang has been in power for nearly 300 years, and it seems to be coming to an end."

At the end of the words, there was a bit of a sigh of vicissitudes, Su Jinhuai watched helplessly how the beam changed from being full of capable ministers in the court to the current appearance of the aristocratic family dominating one side.What I thought about when I became an official was how to create a prosperous world, which is better than leaving a good name in the history books through the ages.But after going through the lingering so far, what he thinks about is how to let Daliang survive.

"Daliang, Ji Yuan, how about Daliang? What about Ming's?" Lu Zuoxian seemed to be an outsider, pointing at Daliang Jiangshan disdainfully, "When Sheng Yuan was alive, Daliang was already in decline. He listened to Chu Rensheng's words and wanted to be a Shengshi Mingjun, promoted you, also promoted Han

door. "

"But so what? Chu Rensheng wants a prosperous age where everyone has the opportunity to become an official, but the prosperous age that the family wants is definitely not like this. Lord Sheng Yuan is afraid, he is afraid that the family will shake the imperial power, so he dare not do what he did a few years ago , but Chu Rensheng doesn't know how to restrain himself!"

"If it weren't for this, how could the monarch and his subjects have come to this point in harmony?"

Su Jinhuai laughed out loud, and said hoarsely: "What a harmony between the monarch and his subjects!"

"Old Lu Ge!" Su Jinhuai was full of disappointment. He shook his head and sighed, "It's nothing more than the word "benefit". What's wrong with him?! It's you who are wrong! Greed for profit, greedy for money and power, you...you...!"

Su Jinhuai spoke to the point of excitement, covered his lips and coughed for a long while, but his eyes showed the sharpness that he had forbeared for many years, as if he was still the handsome young man with bright heart and embroidered mouth.

"Us? We are just following the trend." Lu Zuoxian added a mocking smile, "Ji Yuan, open your eyes carefully, you are an upright official and a capable minister, but not all people in the world are like you! The world is like this, if the world is drunk and you are sober, then you are wrong!"

Su Jinhuai braced himself to stand up, looked down at Lu Zuoxian from a high position, and said: "Flowers are not as red as a hundred days, I know that the beam will fall down one day, and I also know that what I did today is only a few words on paper in future generations, but at least I live in the future." At this moment, Lu Zuoxian, you and I have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and now it's time for a result."

Lu Zuoxian also stood up in the prison, looked at Su Jinhuai's back, and sneered.

In Chengming Pavilion, all important ministers are present.

In the past, it was led by Lu Zuoxian, but now it is led by Su Jinhuai.

Su Jinhuai went to the prison last night, and it was late when he returned home, he was a little mentally weak at the moment, and looked even older.

He spoke a little hoarsely: "The old case in Longnan has been fixed, Ge Tongqian himself admitted, how to steal the sky for the day, and who gave the disaster relief money to." After he finished speaking, he picked up another file, "This is what Ge Tongqian explained. Yes, one of the real accounts of the Ministry of Households, and some accounts of the first year of Shengyuan, which are related to one by one."

"The Chu family of Sangcheng."

The house was full of dead silence. The great Confucianist Chu Rensheng died of illness in his prime, and his son Chu Wangqi was murdered in the Chu residence for corruption of ink and collaborating with the enemy. In the past, the Chu family was the head of the Yijing family. The scolded country thief.

Su Jinhuai said indifferently: "Everyone can take a look at it. The case of corruption of ink is about the tax of Sangcheng, but it is written in black and white that Sangcheng's tax is not only handed in as much, but also much more than other cities. As for For the crime of collaborating with the enemy, the evidence back then was a volume of documents, but it is a pity that neither the Ministry of Punishment nor the Dali Temple

Never found it. "

Yue Tinggu supported his own self-respect, even though Lu Zuoxian entered the prison, he didn't see any panic, the old god sipped tea on the ground, and said: "Even if you are wronged in the corruption case, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime to punish the nine clans. Besides, years ago It was found that the Chu family had private contacts with Beijiang, and Beijiang went to Lingyang Pass unimpeded in the spring of the following year, which is not uncommon."

"Hey, that's all." Yue Tinggu put the teacup back, and said with a smile: "Isn't it about the case of Mr. Lu Ge today? How did you get into these old cases?"

"Yue Shangshu." Xing Ye said coldly, "Of course the case discussed is old Lu Ge's case, which involves the old case in the past, so it should come to light. Isn't the Kongbi case in Longnan also an old case? The case file of Chu's case is in Dali Temple The yamen, I looked through it yesterday, and the evidence on it is the cipher text of Chu’s correspondence with Beijiang, with Chu’s private seal stamped on it. But there is no word about how to communicate with the enemy.”

Ignoring Yue Tinggu's uneasy expression, Xing Ye handed the file to the attendant, motioning him to hand it over to everyone present to read in turn.

"The case of such a serious crime was hastily closed." Xing Ye said in a slightly low voice, "And the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment who supervised the handling of this case at that time was the son of the Zuo family who married the daughter of the Lu family."

He paused for a moment, glanced at Zuo Huaidao, and said: "I think Zuo Shangshu also knows this person, and he should call him cousin. Zuo Jiyun."

Zuo Huaidao watched Ge Tongqian die in prison, and Lu Gelao was also sent to prison. At this moment, it was Liushen Wuzhu, who was suddenly called by his name, but he didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only show Yue Tinggu with his eyes, the meaning was obvious: What should I do now?

Seeing his eyes, Yue Tinggu cursed inwardly as a waste, he didn't expect the Lu family to leave so many tails, he caught people yesterday, and today they have solid evidence, it is conceivable that Su Jinhuai has already made preparations, this is a game!

"It's all speculation." Yue Tinggu snorted, "Lu Ge has been in the court for many years, but he made some mistakes in a moment of confusion. What about the merits of the past? At worst, the merits and demerits are equal, and now there is no one in the court. Ge Tongqian died If you die, you will die, let's make it a big deal, Mr. Su."

Shen Lin slapped the table with a palm, causing everyone to look over in shock.

"A major event has been resolved?" Shen Lin's face was gloomy, staring at Yue Ting Gudao, "Thanks to Shangshu Yue, who is still an important minister in the court, if everything can be resolved, what's the use of the law? He Lu Zuoxian made a mistake. It was a moment of confusion, how do you let Master Kong and Master Chu's family who died in vain under the Nine Springs sleep peacefully?"

Yue Tinggu's face darkened, and he also jumped up at the case, his eyes showing murderous intentions, "Master Shen, speak too carefully, don't be too quick to talk!"

Xing Ye saw that the secret path was not good, he knew that Shen Lin was an upright person, and he didn't call him out today, but he didn't want to be offended by a reckless man like Yue Tinggu!

Sure enough, Shen Lin looked fearless, and took a step forward calmly, "What? Yue Shangshu, don't you want to kill the subordinate in public?!"

Yue Tinggu's expression was cloudy, he looked at him for a while, then he sat back suddenly and said: "How come, you can't hurt someone's life innocently if you work with Mr. Shen."

The atmosphere relaxed slightly, but after a while, the guards outside came in and said, "My lords, just now the imperial guards came to spread the word that Yang Shen, a student of the Imperial Academy, is bringing a student from a family to make trouble outside the palace gate."

Su Jinhuai frowned, "What's the trouble?"

The subordinate officials bowed their heads and said, "I... want the cabinet to release Mr. Lu from prison."

The room was filled with silence, and Su Jinhuai's calm face gradually sank, as if it was covered with a layer of frost, and seemed to be covered by a shadow. He was silent for a while, then got up suddenly, and said repeatedly: "Okay! Good! Good!"

Three good ones in a row, even Yue Tinggu was a little suspicious at the moment, and didn't dare to make a sound.

Su Jinhuai flicked his sleeves and went out, clearly in his dying years, but he remained firm at every step.

"Old man, let's go and see what kind of students the Imperial College has taught!"
