witch chaotic country

Chapter 780
Under repeated astonishment, Xin Yuan fell to the ground, holding two scrolls of bamboo slips in his hand, in a dilemma.No matter how true or false what Tan Yaoyu said today, the Xin family has already been pushed to the point of the knife.

If Tan invites rain to be rejected, the matter of the two youngest sons being greedy for ink will definitely be strictly investigated, and the entire Xin family will be in danger at that time.If Tan Yaoyu is agreed to, the Xin family will become a thorn in the side of the Xianbei nobles.

It's just... If the eldest son can be allowed to serve as a military officer, then he will be the first general of the Han Dynasty since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty.His Xin family must be a sudden rise among the Hanchens!Although the title Houdang doesn't sound good, if there are real benefits, who would care about it?

Besides, according to what Tan Yaoyu said, the Xin family is a queen party on the surface, but they are really cronies of the emperor.If it is death anyway, even a person like Xin Yuan is willing to fight for it!
Thinking that he could truly be equal to Cui Hao in the future, Xin Yuan felt that the word "rear party" was not so harsh.

Coming out of Xin Mansion, Tan Yaoyu involuntarily took a deep breath, feeling the chill in the air permeate the internal organs, and she immediately became more energetic.

Yingfeng saw her exhaustion, and comforted her distressedly: "Things are going well. This set of rhetoric is impeccable. Xin Yuan will definitely believe that you are here to win him over for Tuoba Tao. This knife of the Xin family will do it anyway. cut a way for you."

Tan Zhaoyu nodded, "It's really thanks to your people this time. If the Ying family hadn't found out so many secrets, it would be really difficult to handle these nobles. Next, it depends on when the Xin family compromises, and how they expand Ba Tao doesn't have much face."

Seeing that there was no one around, Yingfeng took Yaoyu into his arms, and said softly, "You saw the things on the bamboo slips too. After the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty, how many evil deeds did the Xianbei nobles do? None of this is necessary. As long as we inquire carefully, we can find out so many. Although there are many corrupt officials in the Southern Dynasty, they are not as ignorant as they are of people's lives... just to celebrate birthdays and bathe in the blood of hundreds of children This kind of thing..."

In fact, it's no wonder that Xin Yuan was so frightened, even Tan Yaoyu was almost so angry when he read the content on the bamboo slips for the first time.

"King Jianning will try his best to cover up these things for the sake of the clan's face, but Shu Yun dare not. Find someone to reveal to him the content on the bamboo slips. Be careful, don't let him realize that we are releasing the news."

Ying Feng laughed aloud, "Look at me, my lady!"

Tan Yaoyu blushed when he suddenly called "Lady", but this person was really good at sneaking away, so he had to wait for the next opportunity to take revenge.

In the next few days, Shu Yun only felt that dark clouds were covering the top and everything was not going well.

He was ordered to investigate the cause of the prince's death. He originally wanted to follow the clues of the Ramoche Temple to find out who was behind the scenes, but who would have thought that a stick would stab a rat's nest, and the nobles' crimes would become more and more investigated.

After Shuyun found evidence against the three nobles in a row, he couldn't stop sweating!He didn't dare to conceal the report, and he didn't dare to make it public, so he had to hide from King Jianning, and went to the palace at night to ask Tuoba Tao for instructions, whether he really wanted to investigate further.

After Tuoba Tao saw those iron-clad crimes, he was so angry that he directly ordered to copy all the homes of the three nobles!However, this is only the corner of the prince's case.Even though Tuoba Tao is now convinced that the prince is wronged, he hesitates in the face of this case, not knowing whether he should investigate it or not...

The nobles acted so absurdly that none of them could withstand scrutiny.If there is another investigation, before the real culprit is found, I am afraid that all the Xianbei nobles will be convicted.At that time, how can we talk about the stability of the court?

Tuoba Tao only felt distraught, and after the court ordered the three nobles to be dealt with severely, the next court went directly to Yuntai Temple.

The moment he saw Tan Yuanyu, Tuoba Tao felt a little more at ease in his heart.It's like a person who has nowhere to turn to finally sees the floating island, knowing that it is not the end, but still feels that he has found a glimmer of hope.

Yao Yu was not in a hurry to ask about the case.In the past few days, ghosts and wolves were crying and howling in Pingcheng, nearly a hundred people were escorted out and beheaded, which shows that Tuoba Tao was furious.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tuoba Tao guessed that she was trying to avoid suspicion.She always has a good grasp of the scale.As long as he doesn't speak, Yao Yu won't say much, but whenever he speaks, Yao Yu will be willing to help him.

Because Yao Yu is the only woman he hopes to be with him at this moment.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to give the crown prince justice. I won't be able to find out the person who framed you..." Tuoba Tao's voice was weak.Before coming here, he had already decided to ask Shu Yun to stop investigating the case.

Tan Zhaoyu was not surprised, and said while pouring tea for Tuoba Tao, "At least in His Majesty's heart, the crown prince has been rehabilitated. I believe that this is the most important thing for Crown Prince Jingmu."

Yao Yu's words immediately made Tuoba Tao's eyes blush, "I am sorry for you. In order to make this court stable, I had to wrong you."

Yao Yu handed the tea to Tuoba Tao, and said in a soft voice: "If your Majesty really wants to stabilize the court, you should continue to investigate. It's just that...the investigation is not listed. Return the things found to each family. They sound the alarm to let them know that you are not ignorant. The second is to give them a chance, if there is something that can be cured, let them remedy it by themselves. It is better than His Majesty being kept in the dark for the rest of his life."

Tuoba Tao paused when he received the tea, did he check it out?Indeed, not being held accountable does not mean not knowing.If they let them go this time, I'm afraid they will be even more confident.

Tan invited Yu to take a sip of the tea in his hand, "Let them know that His Majesty has the final say on whether to pursue it, when to pursue it, and how to pursue it. Only in this way can they be afraid. Otherwise, they really think they can How can the court be stable if you intervene in the establishment of the reserve?"

Tuoba Tao nodded, "You're right. I'll ask Shu Yun to investigate in secret."

"Your Majesty, please give him more manpower," Tan Yaoyu said, "There are many people around Your Majesty, but there are not many who are trustworthy and reliable. Don't let some people be forced into a hurry, and the soldiers are in danger."

Tuoba Tao thought that the imperial army dared to surround Tan Yaoyu's Yuntai Temple, so he understood Tan Yaoyu's concerns and nodded again.

"There is one more thing," Tan Yaoyu continued: "I want to take this opportunity to promote the eldest son of the Xin family to join the Imperial Guard. However, his qualifications are still young, and he needs to promote another person whom His Majesty trusts to be in charge of the Imperial Guard. .”

Tuoba Tao took a sip of tea, quickly wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Why don't you plan to play tricks when you are seeking an official position with me, and beat around the bush?"

Tan Yaoyu glanced at Tuoba Tao, as if to say is it necessary?

"You don't know why this palace promoted a Hanchen? Or why you choose this time?"

Tuoba Tao was choked up by Tan Yaoyu's question, he was used to being insincere when others asked him for benefits.But thinking about it carefully at this moment, it seems that Tan Zhaoyu's promotion of this person is entirely to pave the way for him to centralize power.

"Why the Xin family? Do you have contacts with them?"

"I've never seen it before," Tan Yaoyu said boldly, "It's just that the palace has inquired with the wives of various prefectures. Among the Hanchens, he is the only one who has served as a military officer and married a noble lady from Xianbei."

Tuoba Tao thought about it for a while, "Well, it's a deputy post after all. But for the position of commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army, we should find a suitable candidate."
