Chapter 365 The twins are here
On the way back, the two went to the palace to restore their lives to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor had learned from the General of the Central Army that Xun''s punishment, but after confirming it again with Lu and Meng Qianqian, he finally believed that this "generation powerful minister" who almost stole his country was really defeated.
The sword that had been hanging over his head for many years was finally taken down at this moment.
While he breathed a long sigh, he suddenly felt that he was much older.
The ministers have retreated.
In the huge East Hall, only one blessing is left by his side.
Eunuch Fu accompanied the Supreme Emperor through so many years of ups and downs, and he followed him to the temple.
What the Supreme Emperor is thinking, how could he not understand?
The treacherous minister was executed and the case came to an end, but for the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, the crisis was not completely resolved.
Meng Qianqian had almost never sleeped for a night, and then she had a big fight outside the city gate. She suddenly entered the East Hall full of warmth. She felt sleepy and fell asleep on the table without realizing it.
The Supreme Emperor looked at her heartless appearance and suddenly his solemn expression lightened. He couldn''t help but smile: "This girl can fall asleep anywhere. Is my Zhaoming Palace where she naps?"
With his smile, the stone in Eunuch Fu''s heart fell to the ground.
It must be Mrs. Lu.
Eunuch Fu said with a smile: "Mrs. Lu arrived at Zhaoming Palace and was as at peace as she returned to her own house."
"I feel at ease, I think I''m so brave."
The Supreme Emperor said this, but there was a rare pampering between his eyebrows.
The Supreme Emperor has always been strict with his son. Although his daughter is relatively kind and gentle, only Princess Wanping is the only one who is lawless.
Eunuch Fu felt that the look of the Supreme Emperor looking at Mrs. Lu today was not much different from Princess Wanping.
There is no way, who made Mrs. Lu the old lady’s heart and soul? Who made Mrs. Lu be able to make her own contribution and even take a nap to make the Supreme Emperor amusement?
The Supreme Emperor winked at Eunuch Fu.
Eunuch Fu understood and immediately took the Emperor''s cloak.
Just as he was about to put it on, Lu Yuan said calmly: "She is my minister''s wife, please abide by the etiquette."
The Supreme Emperor took the whisk from Eunuch Fu''s hand and slapped Lu Yuan hard.
Lu Yuan was not wronged this time.
The Supreme Emperor favors Meng Qianqian, who is the granddaughter of his grandchild. The defense of the bad boy and the woman should be beaten up!
"You, accompany me out for a walk."
The Supreme Emperor whispered to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan followed the Supreme Emperor out of the East Palace unwillingly.
Eunuch Fu covered Meng Qianqian with a cloak, and asked the palace servants to bring two charcoal basins next to Meng Qianqian.
"What? Are you afraid that something will happen to her in Zhaoming Palace?"
The Supreme Emperor looked at his three-step look, and wished he could give him another kick.
But when he looked down, he saw that he was the dignified emperor, holding a eunuch''s whisk in his hand, and then he decisively threw the whisk to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan took the whisk and waved it casually.
The Supreme Emperor inexplicably thought of the lazy King Miao. The grandfather and grandson were exactly the same. Why didn’t he find this kid quite a rogue in the past?
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly: "I''ve beaten the Prime Minister and I''m too lazy to pretend?"
I thought Lu Yuan was a bit polite, but Lu Yuan admitted generously: "Yeah."
The Supreme Emperor: “…”
The Supreme Emperor said seriously: "Don''t think that Xun Xiuyuan can rest assured as he dies. How can the frontier army appease his private army, and how can the ten princes suppress it. One by one, it may not be easier than dealing with Xun Xiuyuan."
Lu Yuanfeng said lightly: "There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain."
“What’s the way?”
The Supreme Emperor asked angrily.
Lu Yuan said: "The merchant''s twins have been rescued from Qianji Pavilion. With them here, we can comfort the frontier army."
The Supreme Emperor said again: "Where is Xun Xiuyuan''s private army? Although he is dead, it is difficult to guarantee that his old subordinates will not unite with the ten princes to launch a mutiny under the banner of revenge for him."
Lu Yuan said with a serious look: "The private army is indeed very difficult. After Rong returned, he thought about his solution and saw whether he had incorporated them or suppressed them. He would never give them a chance to launch a mutiny!"
Mutiny?
Impossible.
The military pay is gone, what should I use to launch a mutiny?
Loyalty and pride?
Is there something that can be raised by Xun''s country into a private army?
Naturally, it is impossible for Lu Yuan to tell the truth. He had to spit out his military pay.
Immediately, my family will have to eat with three mouths. If I spit out gold, my family will be in short supply.
In addition, there is another reason, that is, the Supreme Emperor cannot feel that this matter is solved too easily, otherwise it will seem that the matter itself is not worth mentioning.
If you have to do things, you have to take credit, and take them to the greatest extent.
The Supreme Emperor glanced at Lu Yuan deeply: "How sure are you?"
Lu Yuan: "70%."
If others say this, the Supreme Emperor may think that the other party is making a big fuss, but Lu Yuan won a beautiful victory in Beiliang on his first expedition, and his ability is beyond doubt.
Such Lu Yuan made the Supreme Emperor think of someone.
Forget it, Lu Yuan is from Miaojiang, how could he be related to that person? The Supreme Emperor shook his head and asked Lu Yuan again: "The top ten princes surrendered on the surface, but in fact they were conspiring with Xun Xiuyuan. Last time you said that Chen Long was the Prince of Loulan. Can he really help the disaster of the princes?"
Of course not.
The disaster for the princes lies in their territory. Unless their fiefs are changed, they will not be able to submit to the court.
But Lu Yuan didn''t say that, how could the Supreme Emperor pardon Chen Long''s sins?
The princes want to kill, and the brother-in-law wants to save him.
Lu Yuan said without changing his face: "Loulan King is the leader of the ten major princes. As long as Chen Long wins the throne of Loulan, the disaster of the princes will be solved."
The Supreme Emperor paused and looked at the endless snow scene: "Killed the ten princes."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
The old man is very unhappy.
Coincidentally, he and Meng Xiaojiu had this idea.
“By the way, there’s one more thing.”
The Supreme Emperor asked suspiciously, "The State of Xun Xiang has six adopted sons. I already know that Xun Yi and Xun Wu have not appeared from beginning to end. Why is this?"
Lu Yuan said: "Let me talk about Xun Wu first. Xun Wu has been doing business in various countries, providing financial resources and inquiries for Xun Prime Minister. Since he is a well-informed person, it is impossible for him to know the situation of Xun Prime Minister. Either he died or he also betrayed."
"As for Xun Yi, we have never seen him. I suspect he is not from the Great Zhou, and there may not be such a person at all."
"No matter what, since Prime Minister Xun was the most critical moment, they did not show up, and they should not show up for his affairs again."
When the Supreme Emperor heard this, he felt relieved.
When the two returned to the East Palace, Eunuch Fu found that the worries between the Supreme Emperor''s eyebrows were gone, and they were much more relaxed.
It seems that the Supreme Emperor''s worries have been resolved by Governor Lu.
The couple, one is the pistachio of the Supreme Emperor and the other is the thinking tank of the Supreme Emperor, and either is indispensable.
The Supreme Emperor was very happy, turned his head and couldn''t laugh: "What are you doing?"
Lu Yuan returned the whisk to Eunuch Fu, bent down and carried the sleeping Meng Qianqian up: "Take your wife home."
The Supreme Emperor: "Snow stops before leaving."
Lu Yuan: "Stop."
The Supreme Emperor glanced at the snowy courtyard, and it was really not snowing.
"Look, you''re worried."
The Supreme Emperor also disliked Lu Yuan. No wonder Mr. Miao called Lu Yuan a bad boy. Isn’t Lu Yuan the same?
Lu Yuan wrapped Meng Qianqian tightly in his cloak and snorted coldly: "If you want someone to accompany me, go find my wife. There are so many beauties in the Supreme Queen''s harem, and one is different every day. What are the wife who dominates me doing?"
The Supreme Emperor snatched the whisk from Eunuch Fu''s hand and drove Lu Yuan out in a furious manner.
-
The changes in the prime minister''s mansion spread throughout the capital in less than a day.
The people did not believe it at first, until the Ministry of Justice posted a full report on the streets and alleys, and reported in detail the numerous crimes of Xun''s country. The people believed it.
The people do not have a deep understanding of crimes such as raising private troops, colluding with princes, intending to rebel...
What they want is nothing but family food and clothing. Whoever takes charge of the country and who will be the emperor will be the same for them.
But when they saw the end of the newspaper, someone spread the taxes stolen by Xun Xiangguo to the people of various families, and each household was stolen for a total of ten taels!
Ten taels!
The people''s anger was suddenly lit-
Master Hu looked at the people who rushed to the Ministry of Justice and wanted to pull Xun Yu out of the cell and beat him to death, and was stunned: "The Grand Commander''s move is really effective. Who dares to say a little good thing for the prime minister again, and can be torn by the angry people."
The guilt that should be paid was evidence, and the person that should be killed was also killed.
How to deal with the aftermath and how to provide for the people is not the matter of the Governor’s Office.
You can''t carry everything on your shoulders, and you have to give all civil and military officials a chance to show off.
Meng Qianqian went to buy paper money and paid tribute to the deceased people of the Chu Prince''s Mansion and the merchants in the back mountain of the Governor''s Mansion to comfort their spirits in heaven.
Sometimes she doesn''t understand why she was reborn.
Now she understands that she returns with a mission of revenge.
Meng Qianqian knelt in front of the offering, took out the booklet in her arms, and crossed out the name of Xun Xiangguo.
"Dad, mom, second uncle, second aunt, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle... Xiaoqi, don''t worry, I will not let anyone kill you."
The night is silent.
A figure stood behind the rockery, looking at Meng Qianqian''s back for a moment.
Until Meng Qianqian left, he also brought the incense, candle and paper money he had prepared to worship the people Meng Qianqian had worshipped.
-
This month, the capital was busy.
The matter of Xun Prime Minister caused an uproar in the capital. The Prime Minister''s Mansion has been investigated, but there are still many people who have cursed at the gate of the Prime Minister''s Mansion.
Every day, I am trampled.
Meng Qianqian didn’t know how many injuries she had gone to the Ministry of Justice to treat.
On this day, she went to the Ministry of Justice for treatment again and returned to her house when it was dark.
As soon as I entered the yard, I found that the yard was empty and there was no one.
"Strange, where did you go?"
As soon as Meng Qianqian finished speaking, a familiar and cheerful voice came from behind: "Grandmaster and daughter-in-law! You are back!"
"Grandpa?"
Meng Qianqian''s eyes lit up and she turned to look at the door.
King Miao walked into the yard with silence: "Grandmaster, my wife, see who did I bring back?"
Ho, Lao Bai never disappoints people!
