Chapter 654 Negligence
.Recommended: Xuming's new work "Old Day Chapter" http://www./4_4760/
When the incident was exposed to the emperor, it was no longer a mess. In addition, the good things the Empress Dowager and the Zhao family did in Chongzhou, the emperor was afraid of alarming the enemy, so he calmly took Chongzhou back, which did not mean that he had extinguished his anger towards the Zhao family and the Empress Dowager.
It's just that I didn't find it because of the hair.
Now that the matter about the imperial kitchen has been exposed, it just happened to give the emperor a chance to deal with Empress Zhao and the Queen Mother.
Because he trusted Empress Zhao, the emperor gave her great power. He only cared about the previous dynasty and the affairs of the harem were under the control of Empress Zhao, naturally including the imperial kitchen. Because Concubine Li would supervise at all times, and was not afraid that Empress Zhao would not be careless.
But the emperor did not expect that there would be a fight between the snipe and the clam to make a profit.
In other words, Empress Zhao and Empress Dowager had already formed an alliance, but they only made an appearance of being cold in relationships on the surface to fool him and Concubine Li.
The emperor also had a headache when he thought of Concubine Li running to Yongning Palace several times a day.
The emperor did not directly question the Queen Mother with the account book of the imperial kitchen, and found Queen Zhao. The emperor Long Yan said furiously, "I think you are in charge of the harem and managed in an orderly manner. I can be called a virtuous queen of the generation. I didn't expect that you were in charge of the imperial kitchen for me like this!"
Queen Zhao was so scared that she knelt on the ground and admitted her mistake, "The emperor calmed down, it was because my concubine had neglected..."
Before she could finish her words, the emperor smiled coldly, "Is negligence negligence or not at all? I just read a few pages of the account book and found many problems. As the queen, if I can't see this, I should question your talent! I can't check it out, and I can't find out how much silver the imperial kitchen has greedy for so many years. Don't worry about this harem!"
The emperor threw several thick books in front of Queen Zhao. The sound of the smashing of the ground was shocked and his face turned pale.
Then, Empress Zhao was bombarded out of the imperial study with several large books.
Queen Zhao was so angry that she wanted to hit the wall, while Concubine Li was so happy that she couldn't stop talking about it.
After fighting for so many years, I didn’t expect that there would be a day when the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly.
The imperial kitchen is the territory of the empress dowager. Over the years, the empress dowager and the Duke of Yong have gained a lot of benefits from the imperial kitchen. Now the emperor forces Empress Zhao to check the imperial kitchen, which is really satisfying.
If she couldn't find out, Empress Zhao would have to hand over the phoenix seal. But she was Concubine Li, who had been thinking about the phoenix seal for twenty years, and it was time for her to return it to her.
If found out, it means that the Empress Dowager and the Duke of Yong's Mansion have to vomit out all the benefits that have been eaten for so many years. If the Empress Dowager and Duke of Yong are willing to be content with Empress Zhao, they will definitely have a rift with the Empress Dowager.
No matter what the result is, it is a good thing for her, and she will not be in a good mood.
Now the Empress Dowager has turned to her side, and with the emperor's support, she is definitely sure to take the Empress Dowager down in one fell swoop.
Concubine Li is full of confidence.
Everyone here is happy and sad, while others are also looking at the dark side.
On the small couch by the window, Minglan looked at a line of small words on the rice paper, twisted his eyebrows and twisted. She asked Bizhu, "Did I read it wrongly, how many words are these?"
Bizhu came over, looked carefully for a few seconds, and while beating her fingers, she said word by word: Someone wants to compete with you for a man.
After counting, Bizhu said, "The princess is eight words."
She really read it right!
Someone wants to compete with her for Chuli
Who is so uneasy...
Minglan looked at Yuque and asked, "Who wants to compete with me for my husband?"
That crisp and gentle tone was so weak that Bizhu and Xueli were all weak. Really, they didn't hear a little anger from the tone of their princess.
Someone wants to compete with her for the prince's prince. She is so angry that she takes a knife. That's normal, but she looks gossipy like she's nothing, as if she's watching other people's fun, and a few maids can't understand it.
But Yuque is another arrogant person, and replied with two words: Guess.
Minglan was not angry that someone wanted to compete with her for Chu Li, but was stirred up by these two words.
She wants to guess it, does she need to ask it
Minglan coaxed Yuque like coaxing Mao Ge'er, and Gu Yunlan coaxed Yuque as if he was coaxing Gu Yunlan. As a result, the more he coaxed, the more he went to the sky.
Minglan was so angry that he wanted to throw it out of the window and go cool. When Chu Li came back, he saw Minglan's angry look. He said, "Who made you angry?"
Ming Lan pointed at Yuque like a green onion and said, "It's not it yet, I only spoke halfway."
Chu Li sat down, Bizhu came over to bring tea, and he asked, "What did Yuque say?"
Minglan told Chu Li about someone trying to steal him from her. Chu Li twitched the corner of his mouth almost unpredictably and said with a laugh, "I think Yuque is making fun of you, you still take it seriously."
Chu Li wondered if Minglan had a worse memory. Who told him that he did not marry the princess in his previous life. He did not marry the princess in his previous life. He still missed him when he married the princess in this life. He rushed to be his concubine.
He was poisoned and had no medicine for no medicine. Ordinary people may not know. Can the powerful people in the capital still not know?
Yuque jumped on the small table and added a line of small words: The provocation method is useless to me.
Chu Li:...
Seeing Chu Li reaching out his hand, Yuque hid in Minglan's arms. Forget it if he was thrown away, he would throw it away again. If he throws it, it would not be too shameful.
Minglan was also afraid that Yuque was tempted, so he advised Chu Li, "Whoever cares about you will always know."
When Minglan spoke, Yuque came out of her clothes. Although it was just a small piece of jadeque, it was ordinary and it was not necessary to change candied haws, but Chu Li saw its provocation.
I really deserve a beating.
Chu Li felt that his palms were itchy and he had to catch Yuque.
Just as he was about to reach out, the secret guards' voice came from the window, "Master, something happened."
He didn't even knock on the window and reported it directly, which showed that the matter was serious. Chu Li stood up, and Minglan's smile tightened a little, and followed Chu Li to the window.
The secret guard reported, "After returning from the Jingzhou message, several trusted officials of the Mo family drank and had fun on the pleasure boat. The water in the pleasure boat entered the water, and Hua Niang, all drowned. The Minister of Justice took people to Jingzhou. On the way to Jingzhou, they encountered assassination, and the account book was destroyed. The Minister of the Shangshu was injured, but he had no worries about his life."
Minglan stared at him, isn’t this a person’s evidence and physical evidence destroyed?
Without personal evidence and physical evidence, even if you know that the Mo family is greedy, even the emperor will not be able to do anything to him, unless he can directly issue an order to search the Mo family regardless of the world's long-lasting words.
The old prince was going to destroy the Mo family. The testimony and account books were sent to the Emperor Long's case. The Mo family actually dared to destroy the account books and kill people to silence them. This is how Tai Sui was tired of rushing to get into trouble.
Chu Li looked cold and asked, "Where is the Minister of Justice, I'm back to Beijing."
The secret guard shook his head, "No, I only had to take care of it for half a day, and the Minister of Justice set off for Jingzhou."
Chu Li nodded and said, "I understand."
The secret guard retreated.
Minglan looked at Chu Li and said, "Can you still investigate this case?"
