213 Chapter 2 Conspiracy to change ([-])
"Your Majesty, more than half of the civil servants and generals in the court are members of the Wang family. If such a thorough investigation of corruption is carried out, I am worried that it will trigger a shock in the court." Lu Kai started worriedly.

"You are just timid, take some time and learn from Cheng Rong." Ming Gong frowned and shook his head dissatisfied.

Cheng Rong quickly smiled and said: "My lord, I think Lord Lu's proposal is very reasonable. After all, the court should not be in chaos. As long as the king has a goal to catch a few heinous criminals and punish them with death, then the rest will be killed." If you lose your mind and don't get involved, the king's benevolence will spread widely in the court. In addition, if you are lenient and intimidating, you will not be afraid of them committing crimes again in the future. A well-rewarded reputation."

"Well, Cheng Rong, you're right. I see, let's do it this way. In addition, the property of the Wang family exceeds the annual income of the national treasury. In my opinion, let's confiscate them all." Mingong nodded in satisfaction. .

After leaving the Shuilong Shuren Hall of Jianjia Palace, Lu Kai looked at Cheng Rong's proud back, and couldn't help feeling jealous: "Well, Cheng Rong, in front of the king, you have given up the limelight. Let's see. Who is the real prime minister!"

It was late at night, and the bleak cries of the autumn grasshoppers outside kept coming and going, and Bao Si was lying alone on the bed, with the shadow of the carved window lattice reflected by the candle on her face, and she couldn't help crying.

"My lord, what's the matter with you? Your Majesty will come here shortly after finishing the government affairs. I know my lord's pain, so please don't be too sad." Axi, who was beside Baosi, hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Axi, didn't you hear, did someone curse in the distance?" Suddenly, Bao Si asked a strange question.

Ah Xi felt baffled, and hurriedly persuaded him, "Who dares to curse our Jianjia Palace? I think they are just complaining, so please don't take it to heart, my lord."

"Your Majesty is here!" At this moment, Ming Gong walked into the bedroom with his hands behind his back, sadly.

"My concubine pays my respects to the king!" Bao Si hurriedly prepared to get out of bed to salute, Ming Gong helped her up, and smiled happily: "Si'er, why are you so polite? You said, there are often people who don't know their identities in Jian Jia Palace. Not far away to make trouble and curse, the widow has found out this time, and has sent the Imperial Forest Army to arrest them. Also, the widow has made an order that in the future, if anyone who spreads gossip and malicious attacks in the palace is found out, he will be executed immediately, so in the future you Don't worry about it anymore!"

"Your Majesty!" Bao Si suddenly felt how much warmth and security the man in front of her had given her at a critical moment, and she could not help but touch her heart, and cried loudly in Ming Gong's arms.

"Sister Ge Concubine, why has witchcraft been practiced for half a month, and those puppets are buried in relevant places, why is there still no movement from Bao Si?" Inside Qiu Yunxuan, Concubine Yun asked anxiously Concubine Ge, anxious.

Perhaps, Baosi has the body protection of witchcraft, and this ordinary witchcraft may not be able to hurt her. "Concubine Ge was helpless.

"What a Bao Si, if I don't make your life worse than death, how can my sister feel at ease?" Concubine Yun gritted her teeth immediately.

"It seems that Bengong can only use that move." Concubine Yun murmured in front of Concubine Ge.

Thousands of miles away from the Xirong Kingdom, on this day, a slender girl from the Central Plains was brought into the tent of Generalissimo Boding of Xirong. Boding was very surprised. The paper letter was handed to Bourdin respectfully.

Boding opened it and took a closer look, and recognized that it was Concubine Yun's handwriting. Inside, Boding was invited to return to the Central Plains to assassinate Queen Baosi of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Marshal, this is obviously deceitful. This woman in the Central Plains just wants the Marshal to avenge her. The last time Qishan was defeated is a clear proof. The Marshal must not be fooled by this woman!" objected.

"No, this commander just doesn't think so. As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger's cub. Maybe we will get a lot of benefits by taking advantage of the battle in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Chiju, This time, when you go to the Central Plains, you will follow me with you." Bordin decided.

Qiu Yunxuan, the moonlight was bright and clear, I heard that Concubine Yun had a relapse due to the poisoning last time, Ming Gong came down from the court, and hurried to Qiu Yunxuan, only to see Concubine Yun lying on the couch with a haggard face.

"Why did you drink this damn poison once? It's so poisonous. Concubine Yun, what if something happens to you, what will happen to Fu Hai?" Ming Gong helped Concubine Yun gently wipe her forehead with a handkerchief in distress.

"Your Majesty, it's all the concubine's fate. Your Majesty, don't hurt your body because of the concubine." Concubine Yun couldn't help covering her cherry lips, coughed a few times, panted loudly, and her complexion became more and more ugly.

Ming Gong took the veil and was surprised to find that the veil was covered with blood.

"Quickly pass on the imperial physician!" The panic-stricken Ming Gong immediately got up and called out loudly.

The trembling little Ruzi hurriedly invited the imperial physician Fang to feel Concubine Yun's pulse. After a while, the imperial physician hurriedly knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, the empress is too poisoned, and I'm afraid there will be great danger this month."

"How unreasonable! Even if you treat Concubine Yun every day, you must cure Concubine Yun's illness, otherwise, I will kill you alive!" Ming Gong said angrily.

"Your Majesty, it's not worth doing this for your servants and concubines. Please put the government first, and don't blame the innocent imperial physician." Concubine Yun broke down in tears.

"Concubine Yun, speak up, no matter what request you have, I will satisfy you. I know that in this harem, only you and the queen understand my heart best!" Ming Gong called out hastily.

"My lord, please treat my concubine's son, Fuhai, kindly." Concubine Yun said with tears like rain.

After leaving Qiu Yunxuan, Minggong had his hands behind his back, his expression was very tangled, Xinyue saw the clue, and quickly asked softly: "Does Your Majesty want to satisfy Concubine Yun's wishes and make Prince Fuhai the crown prince?"

"No, the widow hasn't thought it through yet. Once it is established, it will be abolished. The widow doesn't want to hurt another one's own flesh and blood." Ming Gong said melancholy.

"Is the king determined to establish the prince born to the queen?" Xinyue asked in a daze.

"Only in this way can I be able to live up to my own heart. I am thinking, can I satisfy Concubine Yun in another way, for example, give Imperial Concubine Jin to commit suicide?" Ming Gong blurted out.

"Ah?"" Xinyue was speechless in fright, but Minggong was cruel. He thought of how the Wang family had power over the government and how imperial concubine Jin sent people to spread rumors and attack Baosi. All the things, all of them touched his murderous intention.

"Could it be that the widow really wants to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots?" Ming Gong fell into deep thought.

In the cold palace, although it was midsummer, it was already terribly cold.The life and death of Imperial Concubine Jin is only a thin line.
