Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 225 Xuanyuan Ming's Brilliant Lie
Xuanyuan Ming quickly defended himself, saying: "Father, please listen to my son's explanation. My son is not negligent in his duties. He only traveled day and night to return to the capital after receiving a secret report!"

"Secret report? What secret report? Report something?" The emperor didn't believe Xuanyuan Ming's words at all. If there was really a secret report, how could he, the emperor, not know about it?
You know, Bloody Guards is the most elite intelligence agency in Dashun, even if he wants to know what the ministers eat for a meal, he can know it, let alone other important events!

Xuanyuan Ming then said: "I received a secret report saying that Tianyimen secretly moved the main force to the capital. It is dangerous, but they suddenly moved all the most core forces in the sect to the capital. It is said that even the mysterious master of the sect has also arrived in the capital. From the capital!"

After Xuanyuan Ming said these words, he silently sweated for himself. Fortunately, his subordinates were able to find out such news for himself a few days ago. He originally planned to find out the secret stronghold of Tianyi Gate, and then ask the emperor for credit. , At this time, I can only take it out to excuse myself.

After Xuanyuan Ming finished speaking, the emperor showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Tianyimen? When did you get this news? Why didn't you report it to me immediately?"

"I also got the secret report when I was in the Yellow River, and I was worried that Tianyimen's intentions were wrong, so I rushed back day and night. I wanted to find out and report it to my father. I didn't know that I was thinking about it so I forgot. It is really unfilial for my father and emperor to worry about my son and minister for the great event of disaster relief in the Yellow River!"

Xuanyuan Ming blamed himself deeply, then prostrated himself on the ground, admitting his mistake very sincerely.

The emperor asked again: "Then what have you found out in the past few days?"

"I found out that the fire in Lvliu Lane in the capital was probably caused by Tianyimen, in order to create chaos and make people's hearts unstable!" Xuanyuanming's ability to lie is getting stronger and stronger.

The emperor frowned and asked: "I asked Jing Zhaoyin to investigate this matter, but nothing abnormal was found. What's more, even if someone set the fire, what does it have to do with Tianyimen? Tianyimen And why are those houses in Luliu Lane burned down alone?"

Xuanyuanming's nonsense became more and more slippery, and he opened his mouth and said: "Although there are several houses in Luliu Lane, one of them was bought by my ministers. They must have known that they had done this and deliberately burned them down. The minister's house, intending to demonstrate to the court!"

"You bought it?" The emperor became more and more confused, "What are you doing buying a house in Luliu Lane?"

Xuanyuan Ming said embarrassingly: "My son occasionally makes friends with some knowledgeable people, but it is inconvenient to bring them into the East Palace, so I bought a three-entry house there, so that those guests who have nowhere to stay in the capital have a place to stay! "

After hearing this, the emperor praised Xuanyuan Ming a little, and said, "I am so relieved that you can have such a mind of a virtuous and virtuous corporal! Then... the fire, didn't it hurt your disciples?"

"It's...fortunately, no one lived in the house at that time, only a few servants who were in charge of taking care of the house suffered an indiscriminate disaster!" Xuanyuan Ming didn't dare to say that his retainers were burned to death, otherwise the emperor might have to investigate. Those who were burnt to death should be paid for by him.

The emperor said: "So you came back specifically for the burning of your house?"

"The main purpose is to track down the conspiracy of Tianyimen. This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, they dare to act recklessly. It's really audacious. I can't ignore it!" Xuanyuan Ming said righteously.

The emperor nodded, if it was true what Xuanyuanming said, Tianyimen dared to conspire to burn down Xuanyuanming's private house, then it really had to be investigated!

"Then what clues did you find out? Who is the owner of Tianyi Gate? Where is their den?" the emperor asked.

Xuanyuan Ming said with grief and indignation: "My son has been searching for several days, but they have not found any trace of them. I think after this case, they are afraid that you, Father, will find any clues, so they have already hidden them. However, my son is confident and sure." We will find out their stronghold, and then wipe them all out!"

"No... Tianyimen should not be wiped out, but should be recruited instead. If they can be used by the imperial court, those forces in the Jianghu will not be a problem in the future!" The emperor has his own plans.

Tianyi Sect is the No. [-] sect in Jianghu, and its influence is so wide that even the emperor has heard of it. One can imagine the deterrent effect on other Jianghu forces.

The Dashun Dynasty had not been established for a long time, and many of the forces that used to compete with his Xuanyuan clan were hidden in the Jianghu, waiting for opportunities to move, so for many years, the Jianghu forces have always been a serious concern for the emperor.

He has always been thinking about how to eliminate these opposing forces. Tianyimen is a good breakthrough. Now that they have come to the capital, they must have a lot of plans. It would be best if they are willing to use it for him. No, it won't be too late to find a way to destroy it!
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Ming asked worriedly: "If they refuse to submit to the imperial court, what if they want to plot rebellion instead?"

"Of course we want to guard against them, but the main thing is to appease them, supplemented by extermination!" said the emperor.

Xuanyuan Ming nodded, and praised: "Father Huang Shengming, I admire you!"

"You got the news, and I will give you some credit, but you have left the Yellow River privately, which caused criticism from the courtiers, so I have to punish you!" The emperor was very clear about rewards and punishments.

After hearing this, Xuanyuan Ming was relieved, the so-called punishment was nothing more than blocking the mouths of those ministers, the emperor no longer had any doubts about him.

"Yes, my son is willing to be punished!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

The emperor nodded and said, "How is the matter of disaster relief handled?"

"When I came, I had entrusted it to Liu Shangshu. Although the disaster was serious, after I arrived, I was busy day and night with disaster relief and comforting the people. I only dared to leave temporarily after everything was arranged!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

When the emperor heard this, he was naturally relieved, and said: "Well, I still believe in your ability to handle affairs. As long as the disaster is under control and the people are at peace, you will still have no faults!"

"Yes, I understand in my heart that I will return to the Yellow River as soon as possible, continue to do the unfinished business, and must handle it properly, so as not to let the emperor worry about it, and not let Baixin complain!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

The emperor said: "Well, if that's the case, you can go back after the court tomorrow morning. Remember, no matter how the courtiers criticize you tomorrow, you must accept it with humility. As for the rest, I will explain it to you!"

"Yes, I thank my father for your kindness!" Xuanyuan Ming kowtowed again.

Xuanyuan Ming heaved a sigh of relief, just after leaving the palace, he met Xie Chongguang, Xie Chongguang looked at Xuanyuan Ming nervously, leaned over, and said, "His Royal Highness, did the Emperor make things difficult for you? You really... "

"It's settled, so why worry about it? Your main task now is to deal with Xuanyuan Jue's people, don't meddle in my affairs!" Xuanyuan Ming's attitude towards Xie Chongguang is not that good.

Xie Chongguang was given a harsh meal, but he didn't dare to say anything, instead he said: "Your Highness is wise, King Jingjing has kept a low profile these days, even yesterday morning, when the officials complained to His Highness, he didn't join in, but helped Your Highness speak!"

"Really? He's smart, and... you have to discipline your daughter well, don't just be jealous and make trouble for me, this time if it's not for my wit, I will fall into her hands !" Xuanyuan Ming said angrily, if Xie Siru didn't go to harm Yingying, why would he rush back to the capital?

Xie Chongguang looked at Xuanyuanming puzzled and asked, "I don't understand what Your Highness means!"

"Hmph, find a chance to ask your good daughter, she dared to investigate Ben Gong's whereabouts in private, the fire in Luliu Lane was her masterpiece!" Xuanyuan Ming snorted coldly.

Xie Chongguang's face turned pale, and he asked, "How could this happen? Is it... Is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Would I still wrong her? If it weren't for the fact that she was pregnant, I would never let it go!" Xuanyuan Ming gritted his teeth.

Xie Chongguang was taken aback and said, "I really don't know about this matter. The concubine concubine has always been well-behaved and sensible, how could she commit such a foolish thing?"

"Nice and sensible? I don't think she is the only one who is confused. You are also confused enough. You don't even know what your own daughter is. What kind of prime minister are you?" Xuanyuan Ming was very dissatisfied with Xie Chongguang.

Xie Chongguang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "I am guilty, please forgive me, Your Highness, I will definitely investigate this matter and give Your Highness an explanation!"

"Forget it, don't meddle in this matter. I have already pushed this case to Tianyi's family. As for your good daughter, I can stop pursuing this matter, but if there is a next time, No mercy!" Xuanyuan Ming warned sternly.

Xie Chongguang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Your Highness Xie is magnanimous!"

"Okay, I have something to do, and I need your help to come up with an idea!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

Xie Chongguang hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, it's okay to say!"

"This is not a place to talk, you go with me!" Xuanyuan Ming brought Xie Chongguang back to the East Palace.

When they arrived at the study, Xuanyuan Ming said: "I want to accept my side concubine!"

"Side concubine? Has someone chosen, Your Highness?" Xie Chongguang asked.

Xuanyuan Ming nodded, and said: "She is already in the East Palace, but I still need to give her a legitimate identity!"

Xie Chongguang immediately understood, and asked, "Is...is this empress a bit special?"

"Well, she doesn't have a high family background, but I want to make her a side concubine, and I'm afraid that the emperor will not agree, so I must give her a status worthy of the crown prince's side concubine!" Xuanyuan Ming said.

Xie Chongguang was slightly displeased, his daughter could only be a concubine, but a woman of unknown origin was to be made a side concubine, wouldn't that be a slap in the face to him?
But in front of Xuanyuan Ming, how could he dare to say such a thing, he just asked: "Your Highness, I understand what you mean, but this matter is not easy to handle!"

"If it's easy, will I still need to discuss with you?" Xuanyuan Ming said dissatisfiedly.
