After the surprise, Emperor Yanguang felt endless anger.

Five,280,000 taels, this is the annual tax amount of the Chu Dynasty! In fact, the treasury income in recent years is far from reaching this amount.

Wealth can rival a country, wealth can rival a country! But the emperor, who was the emperor, asked him for 200,000 taels, was not even worth it.

Two hundred thousand taels, not even a fraction of it. How ridiculous, annoying!

...

After a long time, Emperor Yanguang came to his senses.

He looked at Wang Xiao and slowly said, "Wen's family...is there any evidence of guilt?"

"Yes, half a bottle of poisoned wine was found in Wen Hongyu's house, and he had money to prove that he wanted to murder the prince."

Emperor Yanguang nodded.

This is a capable person.

Wang Xiao said again: "It's a pity that Wen Hongyu was just instructed. Therefore, he saved the prince again at the last moment. We are incompetent, and we have not found out who is the real murderer of Hou Mu..."

Emperor Yanguang raised his eyebrows.

He naturally understands the meaning of this sentence.

You can also make some money from these "Muhou's real murderers".

This is really...so good!

Emperor Yanguang then sat upright and said seriously: "Assassinate the prince and commit a conspiracy to rebel. This case must be thoroughly investigated!"

Wang Xiao kowtowed.

He did not have an official position and could not respond to words like "the minister received the order". After kowtowing, he looked up at Emperor Yanguang, and seemed quite well-behaved.

"Get up." Emperor Yanguang said, "You are Chunning's accurate horse. You are involved in these matters and are stained with blood from soldiers. Are you afraid of impeachment by all officials?"

This sentence is gentle, but another harsh sentence.

What do you mean by playing with power and controlling military power?

Those who are emperors have a deep mind, but it is really hard to coax.

Wang Xiaocai stood up, and was stunned when he heard this, showing a serious expression, and said solemnly: "I will smile at the sky with my own sword, and I will stay with my own and my heart."

Hearing this poem, Emperor Yanguang stared at his face for a moment, and suddenly chuckled.

The young man is still very knowledgeable and has a scholarly spirit.

"It's hard for you to have the will to serve the country." Emperor Yanguang encouraged and waved his hand and said lightly: "That's it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wang Xiao bowed and slowly retreated.

The bright yellow curtain swayed slowly, and the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Emperor Yanguang suddenly spoke again and said slowly: "Your marriage with Chunning is about to be imminent. In the future, you will call me the 'father emperor' and the 'child minister'. Do you understand?"

Wang Xiao was stunned, and then his face showed a look of panic.

Then, I burst into tears of gratitude.

When he left the hall, he secretly curled his lips.

Father?

Bah, is this a reward? I got you five million taels of silver, but I didn’t give you any benefits. I just took advantage of me when I opened my mouth.

You, the emperor, are a little too stingy. Don't think I don't know what you think. It's nothing more than: I should reward you, but I don't have money, so what kind of reward can I give you without spending money...

Then, Emperor Yanguang summoned Zhang Yongnian, and Wang Xiao waited at the stairs.

He stood in the palace, looking at the deep night before dawn, listening to the crying of the ministers in the distance, and feeling the undercurrents in the high places of the temple. He suddenly felt that he might not necessarily want to save the country and the people, or perhaps he just likes this kind of intrigue.

Ha, power.

He chuckled in his heart and shook his head.

After only a while, Zhang Yongnian retreated from the hall.

I believe Emperor Yanguang and this martial artist have no common topics.

The two walked side by side for a while, Zhang Yongnian glanced around and said softly: "Your Majesty has given you three things. First, to calm the wrath of the court officials; second, to fine me a year's salary; third, to inspect the Jinyiwei in a few days."

Wang Xiao nodded, feeling quite satisfied.

Although he has no official position, Zhang Yongnian listens to him, this is the situation.

Although this martial artist doesn't talk much, he is clear in his mind and has a good idea. He is an excellent talent.

"The last two points only explain one thing. Your Majesty's punishment appears, but he is still satisfied with our performance tonight. You must make sure to hand over the more than 5 million taels. Military discipline is the top priority. We can punish the Wen family without asking about it, but Your Majesty's silver cannot be ignored. This is the foundation of the roots." Wang Xiao explained.

Before he knew it, his tone was a bit like Lu Zhengchu, slow and solemn.

After saying that, he said something again: "Don't be a flower head when reviewing, come all the time. Your Majesty is a wise man, don't play with vain in front of him."

Zhang Yongnian nodded and said, "I will understand it in the end."

Wang Xiao said again: "As for the first thing, do you have any suggestions?"

Zhang Yongnian shook his head and said, "The factory guards have touched the root of civil servants, and they may not be able to be good."

Wang Xiao said, "You are right. But civil servants are also humans. Do you know what human nature is?"

Zhang Yongnian shook his head again.

"Try to profit and avoid harm."

Wang Xiao said, looking at the bandaged cloth strips on Zhang Yongnian's face, and stretching out his hand to untie it.

Behind the strip, there is a shocking empty eye socket, which is terrifying to look at.

Wang Xiao sighed: "It's a pity that your eye is, be careful in the future."

After hearing this, Zhang Yongnian lowered his head silently.

"Raise your head and let the civil servants see it." Wang Xiao said, "Let them see what the Jinyiwei is! Ask them, can they save the Chu Chao from day to night?"

Wang Xiao said, taking out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yongnian, saying, "The Wen family participated in the assassination of the prince, and his majesty has already seen it. This is Wen Hongyu's account. The supervisory censor Kong Bin accepted bribes from the Wen family and incited the Censorate to make a desperate remark, with ulterior motives."

The paper in his hand was obviously torn off from the booklet, which shows that Wang Xiao not only grasped the evidence of the crimes of an official Kong Bin.

"Let them all look at the accounts, do you know how to do it?"

Zhang Yongnian said: "I know."

Wang Xiao nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that the first place to be opened in the Xiangyuan was the Zhaozhu..."

As they spoke, the two of them walked around the palace and could see the heads scattered on the Jinshui Bridge from afar.

Wang Xiao pondered, "I won't go with you. There are two things to calm the wrath of all officials. First, the real murderer behind the prince's case has not been found yet, and the officials who asked for advice today are suspected. Second, during the reign of Emperor Taizu, nearly 20,000 people were involved in the case of Duke Ding. We are not afraid of death. If the officials in the court fall down, they will grow one after another immediately."

Zhang Yongyuan bowed: "Thank you for the horse to pick up the points."

Wang Xiao was quite nagging: "Remember, the factory guards and civil servants are already in power, so don't expect them to recognize you. You are the Jinyiwei, and what you need is their fear."

"yes!"

"By the way, there is also a man named Luo Deyuan. His Majesty mentioned this man and don't kill him." Wang laughed and said with his hands behind his back: "Let him see what kind of mind we are..."

The news came back to Qianqing Palace. Emperor Yanguang on the imperial bed heard that the officials who had been remonstratively advised had retreated, but sighed deeply.

"I thought I could save a morning court today."

But when he thought of the more than five million taels of silver he got out of thin air, he felt happy again.

He stood up and looked at the hazy sky outside the hall, and suddenly reminded himself in his heart:

Before I passed away, if Wang Xiao was still there, I must remember to kill him first...
