Dajin royal family

Chapter 191 Who is the target?

Chang'an, Imperial Palace Garden.

Since he came to the throne, the emperor has been diligently handling the affairs of state. Despite some of his personal thoughts, the emperor is still a very competent emperor in the eyes of the ministers.Of course, just being competent and wanting to be a "good emperor" in the words of the ministers is impossible for him in this life, because it is impossible for him to live in peace with the aristocratic family.

The emperor knew this very well, so he would do everything by himself, lest some omissions would allow some people to take advantage of the loopholes.The price of burning one's own energy in this way is that the body is getting thinner and thinner. Even if you eat the best medicinal diet, these things will not be able to make up for it in a short time.

Therefore, as the emperor's favorite little princess, Princess Yiyang received a hint from the empress today, insisting on pulling the emperor to throw pots in the imperial garden, so that the emperor can relax during the busy government affairs.

How could the emperor not be clear about Yi Yang's little thoughts.While touching his daughter's love for him, he also strengthened his mind. In order to protect this family, there are some things he must do with all his heart.

"Father, I won two. Father only got one, not as good as me." Princess Yiyang was wearing a delicate light pink skirt, holding a small firefly fan in one hand, and an arrow in the other.

The emperor laughed and said: "Well, I am indeed not as powerful as Yi Yang, and I am worthy of being my good daughter."

After being praised by his father, Yi Yang continued to concentrate on throwing pots happily.The emperor put down the arrow in his hand, turned around and walked to sit on the carpet laid out by the servant in advance, watching his daughter play with a smile on his face.

Maybe it's good to relax like this once in a while?

The emperor smiled and took a sip of tea, closing his eyes to enjoy a moment of tranquility.

Not long after, Yi Yang was tired from playing, so he went to the emperor, and quietly covered him with a robe while the emperor was asleep.As soon as she put it on, the emperor opened his eyes, "What's the matter, are you tired?"

Yi Yang shook his head, went to sit behind the emperor and knelt down, stretched out his tender little hands to hold the emperor's shoulders. "No, the queen mother asked Yi Yang to rest with the father, how can she only care about herself, the father must be very tired dealing with government affairs."

The emperor smiled gratifiedly and said, "I'm not tired, this is what I should do."

Yi Yang pouted and said: "There are so many ministers in the court, why do they still leave so many things to the emperor to deal with, it's really dereliction of duty, they should be punished to go back to the mansion to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors."

"You little girl." The emperor said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "It is the ancestral system for me to handle government affairs, how can I blame the ministers, according to what you said, all the ministers in the Manchu Dynasty have to be sent back."

It's really out of intention, how can the power in this hand be given to others casually.

"By the way, I've been looking at you a few days ago, and I was a little unhappy. Your aunt Xiao told me that you didn't play with Zhe'er for some days. What's the matter, but Zhe'er made you angry again?" The emperor enjoyed his daughter's rubbing Squeeze the service, while picking up the volume on the table to read.

Speaking of this, Yi Yang said awkwardly: "No, my daughter is not angry with you, it's just."

"Just what?" The emperor teased: "Well, my daughter has grown up, and now she has something on her mind, and even the emperor can't talk about it. If she gets married in the future, I'm afraid we will never see each other again."

Faced with the emperor's ridicule, all the maids and maids serving around laughed.Yi Yang patted the emperor lightly, dissatisfied: "Father Huang Guan will make fun of his daughter, so what's on his mind, it's just that a few days ago my daughter went to Zhao Wang's mansion to find Leping to play, she was not in the mansion, so she was a little unhappy."

There are too few princesses and princes who are of the right age for Yi Yang in the palace, and she basically has no playmates in the palace.Speaking of this, the emperor felt a little guilty towards Yi Yang, and said: "If you want, you can bring Princess Leping into the palace and let her stay for a few more days."

"She doesn't want to." Yi Yang pouted and said, "Le Ping is with her sister-in-law."

Speaking of this Yiyang, she was filled with sorrow and resentment. There were not many playmates in the palace. After all, Leping, a little sister and best friend from the clan, suddenly ignored her and stayed in her brother's house every day to accompany her sister-in-law. , Forgot her little sister to the sky.

"Accompany sister-in-law?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then remembered Jiang Chengxiao, and said with a smile: "Then I can't help it."

At this moment, A Weng came over and said softly, "Your Majesty."

The emperor knew that there was something to do, so he put down the scroll and stood up, "Yi Yang, you can play by yourself, the emperor still has something to do."

After straightening his clothes, the emperor left under the protection of a group of internal guards.Yi Yang bowed his knees and saluted, "Respectfully send off my father."

Seeing the emperor leaving, Yi Yang didn't have much thought of throwing the pot, and his mood was a little depressed.A maid serving beside him said: "Princess, why don't you go to Langya County's mansion?"

Hearing this, Yi Yang's eyes lit up.

In the imperial study room, the emperor's face was as calm as water, sitting on the couch, looking at the kneeling inner guard under the steps.

"Your Majesty, Lord Langya has arrived in Qi County. General Shen should have seen him by this time." The inner guard presented a secret letter.

The emperor opened it and looked at it, and said: "Very well, go tell Yu Zheng and let him go to Bohai County immediately."

"Yes." The inner guard received the imperial edict from A Weng and withdrew.

The emperor looked at the letter, and suddenly asked Ah Weng beside him, "Do you think Yu Zheng can find out?"

A Weng thought for a while and leaned back, "With Lord Langya serving as cover in Qingzhou, no one in the court would have thought that His Majesty would send Mr. Yu Zheng to Bohai County. As for whether the slaves can be found out, it still depends on Mr. Yu Zheng." wrist ability."

The emperor nodded, "I hope Yu Zheng won't disappoint me."

A Weng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, slaves should not talk about government affairs, but if Lord Yu Zheng goes to Bohai County now, will it be detrimental to the stability of the court?"

The emperor shook his head and did not explain. The hand holding the letter gradually tightened. After a long time, he said: "The capital will be moved to Luoyang next year. There are some things that need to be done in advance."

Hearing this, Ah Weng stopped talking, and if he talked too much, he would be a servant interfering in politics.

"Your Majesty, Pei Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is asking to see you." The voice of Minister Jia Nei came from outside the imperial study.

"Biography." The emperor said softly, and put the letter away.

Not long after, Pei Yun walked into the imperial study and bowed to the emperor, "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been around forever."

"Excuse me." The emperor raised his hand and asked: "Pei Aiqing sees me, but what's the matter?".

Pei Yun nodded, and reported: "A month ago, the minister reported that the number of ordnance in the Ministry of Industry was missing. Does your majesty still remember?"

The emperor nodded, "I remember this matter, I asked Aiqing to check it out for me at the time, but now it has been found out?"

Pei Yun said: "The minister found out that this matter has something to do with Yu Binghong, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry. This is the statement of the officials involved in the case of the Ministry of Industry. Please read it." Then, Pei Yun took out the memorial from his sleeve and handed it in Give it to A Weng, and A Weng will hand it over to the emperor.

While the emperor was reading the memorial, Pei Yun said: "Actually, I couldn't find out the case for a while, because the stolen ordnance could not be found. Until a few days ago, a shop in Datongfang caught fire, and the Chang'an county captain led people While the fire was being extinguished, the stolen ordnance was found in the basement of the store."

"After hearing the news, I immediately led people to investigate the shop, and found that its owner is a merchant from Tocharian. This person's name is Kang Qiaoli. He has repeatedly bribed officials related to the Ministry of Industry in Yu Binghong, and secretly traded arms. Now That man has died in the flames."

The emperor put down the memorial and snorted coldly, "Yu Binghong is so good, he dares to take out ordnance and sell it privately, he really doesn't know how to live or die."

Pei Yun said: "Your Majesty, this statement is only the testimony of the officials involved in the case of the Ministry of Industry. Yu Binghong is in Taiyuan, and this matter needs to be investigated carefully."

"What Aiqing said makes sense. Wei Xin, as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was to blame for the theft of the ordnance of the Ministry of Industry, but it is still worse than Binghong's testimony. This matter must not be made public. Aiqing must investigate this matter for me in private. The truth came out."

The emperor pondered slightly, "The captain of Chang'an County has meritorious service. You can investigate the case with him this time. Remember, no one will know the truth until the truth is found out."

Pei Yun is such a smart person, the emperor mentioned Wei Xin and told him to keep quiet, he immediately understood what the emperor meant, and secretly cried out "Bitter" in his heart, but his face still showed a serious promise.
