Chapter 816 The whole family is a rebel (100)

Xiao Ji could always easily resolve Princess Jinyang's anger. He had been like this since they met.

But Princess Jinyang could easily stir up his emotions, dissolve his melancholy, and make him forget his sorrow and smile.

The palace people left, and the hall was silent. After the young emperor and empress had some tender affection, the tall and steady emperor slowly spoke: "I know everything about this matter. The list of these people..."

Originally, he wanted to ask the palace servants to write down the names of those people who obviously had bad intentions in the memorials and then send a copy to the queen, but the queen came in person, so there was no need to do this.

I think Zhang An had already memorized those people's names.

Speaking of business, Princess Jinyang's face turned a little cold, "They are not afraid that you will give Yan'er too much power, but they know that Yan'er has always disliked the aristocratic family, and they are worried that after she has more power, she will interfere in government affairs and take action against them."

But it's only a matter of time.

Even if Xiao Ji and Yan'er didn't do it, when Buyi ascended the throne in the future, he would never allow those greedy aristocratic families to expand their power indefinitely and erode the hard-earned peace and prosperity.

Xiao Ji held her hand and comforted her, "I know, I have my own arrangements for this matter."

He seldom calls himself "I" in front of his family. He is the emperor of the world, the son of his father, the husband of his wife, and the father of his children. He does not want to lose these precious identities in front of his beloved family.

But sometimes, he also needs to use his status as an emperor to reassure the people he loves.

Princess Jinyang didn't ask any more questions and started talking to Xiao Ji about other things.

In the outer hall, Zhang An quickly memorized the names of those people. At the same time, some people's life backgrounds, official positions, political positions, family members, etc. appeared in his mind.

Half an hour later, Princess Jinyang came out and Zhang An immediately followed her.

"Your Highness, I have written down all the names."

"check."

……

Almost at the same time, the palace servants also reported to Xiao Ji that Zhang An had checked the memorial.

That's a memorial.

Without your Majesty's order, privately reviewing the memorials would undoubtedly be courting death.

The palace ladies thought that even though Zhang An was the Queen's confidant and had a special status in the palace, he would not be able to escape death after committing such a big mistake.

But Xiao Ji's reaction was beyond his expectations.

Xiao Ji was not angry, and there was not even a trace of displeasure on his face. Instead, he said, "I know about this."

Do I know?

The palace servants had no idea what Xiao Ji meant, nor did they dare to guess the emperor's intentions, so they just pretended that they saw and heard nothing.

After the palace maid left, Xiao Ji called another person up.

"Your Majesty, my king."

After the ceremony, Wang Wu stood up and saw Xiao Ji writing, so he stayed there and waited for orders.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ji stopped writing, as if he had just remembered Wang Wu, and said to him, "Wang Wu, have you heard about the ministers impeaching the princess?"

Since Wang Wu entered the Supreme Court, he was either trying cases or on his way to try cases every day. He was often so busy that he rarely even went back to his mansion.

In the past few days, he cooperated with the Lang Wei Army to capture fugitives. It took him several days to return to Chang'an. He was summoned to the palace before he even had time to sit down. He really didn't know what was going on.

Another more important reason was that Wang Wu was too cold-tempered and often kept to himself. His relationships with his colleagues in the Supreme Court were very ordinary. Other officials and members of aristocratic families were intimidated by his reputation for killing people and did not dare to get close to him at all, so they had fewer channels to obtain information.

Wang Wu said, "Your Majesty, I don't know." Xiao Ji smiled and signaled the palace servant to hand him the memorial. After confirming Xiao Ji's intention, Wang Wu opened the memorial. After reading only a few lines, his face turned pale. Even someone as patient and restrained as him could not help but show his emotions.

"Your Majesty, this man is spreading lies to confuse the people, committing treason, slandering the eldest princess, and sowing discord among the royal family. This is simply treason. Please issue an order to have him arrested!"

Wang Wu knelt on one knee, looking excited, as if he was ready to sharpen his knife and start a killing spree.

Xiao Ji just smiled and said nothing.

Wang Wu was puzzled, but he shifted his gaze under the subtle watchful eyes of the palace servants and saw the memorials piled up like a small mountain in the distance.

That is?

Could it be that they are all memorials that are unfavorable to the eldest princess?

Wang Wu's eyes darkened, and there was a hint of murderous intent in them.

Xiao Ji sat back on the dragon chair, his expression gloomy, "So many memorials, so many people, are you going to arrest them all? Can the prison of the Imperial Court accommodate so many traitors?"

Rebellious ministers and traitors!

Wang Wu became even more excited. Since he was a traitor, he knew what to do!

He immediately said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The prison of the Imperial Court really can't hold so many traitors, but the princess intends to let the soldiers in the fiefdom cultivate the land. At this time when there is a shortage of manpower, why not send these people to the north and let them contribute to the stability and prosperity of the north."

Contribute?

I'm afraid it's until the last drop of blood is shed!
Xiao Ji smiled, his smile as warm as a spring breeze.

He nodded and said to Wang Wu: "Your Excellency Wang has not disappointed me as always."

Having already seen the ability of his majesty to rule his subjects, Wang Wu no longer showed an expression of being flattered. Instead, he remained calm and assured sincerely, "I will not disappoint your majesty."

The paper that the princess had worked so hard to invent was not meant for those losers from aristocratic families to write nonsense on it. It should be used in places where it is more suitable, entering thousands of households, and being placed in homes and schools to allow more people to learn to read and enlighten the world.

These villains who harbor evil intentions but claim to be upright, selfless and devoted to the country should, together with those prisoners, shed their last drop of sweat and blood in the vast desert outside the Great Wall, and finally let their flesh and blood merge with the common slaves and the yellow land whom they hate, fear and avoid.

Wang Wu entered the palace exhausted, but left in high spirits.

The excitement that could not be concealed was even more exciting than the day he was conferred the title of Marquis.

But those who knew him well knew that his appearance was not due to any reward from His Majesty, but because he had been given some important assignment.

In short, someone is going to be unlucky again!
Not long after Wang Wu left, Zhong Xing also returned to the palace. Before entering the palace, he went to the Supreme Court to investigate a case that Jin Yan had mentioned before. This took some time and he had no idea what he had missed.

When he saw Xiao Ji and knew what had happened in the past few days, he couldn't help but feel distressed, "Uncle, Your Majesty, Uncle! I am your nephew and Yan'er's cousin. Even if you want revenge, it should be me who does it, right?"

How can we let that kid Wang Wu get away with it?
Xiao Ji's eyes were slightly stern. "Who said it was revenge? It was obvious that those noble families were moved by the great ambition of the princess and the enthusiasm of the soldiers and civilians on the border to fight the enemy, and they volunteered to go to the border to guard it."

Zhong Xing was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

After a while, he whispered, "Then you sent Wang Wu, isn't it because he has the most dealings with the noble families, and the noble families are the closest to him, so it would be good to have someone to take care of him along the way?"

Wang Wu killed so many people from the aristocratic families that their heads rolled down. The aristocratic families hated him with gnashing teeth. If Wang Wu were to handle the matter, would those people be able to make it to the outside of the Great Wall alive?
Xiao Ji: "What else?"

Zhong Xing: “…”

Fine.

People who play politics are really dirty.

Yan'er never lied to me!
