Yan'er twisted the hem of her skirt with her little hands and said awkwardly: "I'm telling you, Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has said that she will let her slaves serve you and you are not allowed to go back, so..."
Qin Yun looked at her sweet and shy face and was quite amused. He actually wanted to tease this little palace maid and throw her on the dragon bed at night to transform her into a real woman.
I guess Xiang'er is recovering from his injuries, so that's what he meant by letting Yan'er come.
But there were too many things going on right now, and he had no time to think about those romantic matters.
In the past, the government affairs were messed up by the original owner and he didn't care about anything. Now it will take time for him to pick it up.
"Just tell me what I want you to go back. I'm very busy." Qin Yundao said.
Yan'er's big eyes showed a hint of disappointment, she bent down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Feng Lao asked to see him.
Qin Yun put down the memorial and said with a pleasant expression: "Old Feng."
Old Man Feng smiled and bowed down. Although he was respected, he always regarded himself as a subordinate.
"Lao Feng, has there been any progress?"
Old Man Feng nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the Shadow Guards found the place where more than thirty killers originally hid, in an abandoned house somewhere in the imperial capital."
"Abandoned house?"
Qin Yun frowned and asked: "Did those killers leave any clues there?"
Feng Lao shook his head: "Your Majesty, no. These killers may seem reckless, but in fact they are well-trained. I saw it when it rained in the night and didn't leave any clues."
"But, I found out the owner of this house!"
Qin Yun's eyes shot out a bright light, and he took three steps forward: "Who is it?!"
Feng Lao said in a deep voice: "Xia Yan!"
"A few years ago, there was an oiran from a brothel in the imperial capital."
"Finished." Qin Yun frowned.
Mr. Feng explained: "This woman's background is nothing special. She is just a beautiful and promiscuous woman who was redeemed a few years ago."
"And Lao Nu sent Shadow Guards to investigate all night, and the person who redeemed Xia Yan was the Prime Minister Lin Changshu!"
"Back then, when he was not the prime minister, he married a noble lady for the sake of his future, and secretly placed Xia Yan in this private house, where the killers were hiding."
"It wasn't until the year before last that he took Xia Yan back after he was promoted and made a fortune."
Hearing this, Qin Yun's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? The assassin in black is obviously related to Lin Changshu. If he is related to him, then the Wang family who supports him must also be related.
"Someone is coming!"
Qin Yun's face was ashen and he wanted to take Lin Changshu to jail as a warning to others.
"Your Majesty, please be slow."
Mr. Feng stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, it is not the best idea to touch Lin Changshu now."
Qin Yun took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and waved his hand to drive back the imperial guards.
Mr. Feng continued: "Your Majesty, Lin Changshu is just a puppet of the Wang family group. He is definitely not the mastermind. Killing him will only alert the enemy. Besides, it would be too reluctant to kill a prime minister with this little evidence."
"We might as well pretend not to know anything for now and follow this thread to investigate."
"If some more useful evidence is discovered, then General Xiao's army will return to the court, and the Qinglong Guard will be in your Majesty's hands. It will be easy to eradicate the Wang family."
Qin Yun frowned and was silent for a while.
He understood the meaning of keeping a low profile and playing the long game to catch the big fish, but he was just a little angry.
"Okay, Mr. Feng, I listen to you."
"I will leave this matter to the Shadow Guards. I will closely investigate all the evidence of Lin Changshu's crimes. It is best to find out the evidence of his collusion with the Wang family!"
Mr. Feng nodded steadily, glanced at Qin Yun, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't know whether to talk about or not."
Qin Yun waved his hand: "You and I, the king and the minister, have the relationship of master and disciple. It doesn't matter if Mr. Feng just says it."
After saying that, he took Old Feng's withered hand and walked forward, personally bringing him a chair, which was very close to him.
Feng Lao was flattered, and his cloudy eyes were a little moist.
In so many years, this is the first time I have seen His Majesty treat me so kindly.
He sat down slowly, his face turned red, and he said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Yun smiled slightly and said you're welcome. This old man was loyal to himself and Daxia, so he should be respected.
Mr. Feng hesitated for a moment, organized his words, and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the former prime minister, Pei Ren?"
Qin Yun recalled for a moment that Pei Ren seemed to have been executed by himself, as if he had committed something that made him, Long Yan, furious.
"Well, remember, what's wrong?" He said calmly.
Mr. Feng wiped away the cold sweat, as if he was afraid to continue talking.
"Your Majesty, I feel that the death of the former prime minister Pei Ren may be the key to investigating the Wang family group, and it is much more deadly than the assassination."
"oh?"
Qin Yun's eyes widened with interest.
"I have been busy these days and have forgotten many things. How about Mr. Feng help me recall my memories? Just say so and I will never blame you."
Hearing this, Feng Lao sighed.
He began to slowly tell some old stories from that year.
Qin Yun listened quietly, and the more he listened, the weirder his expression became.
It turned out that the former prime minister Pei Ren was also a loyal minister. He saw Qin Yun being obsessed with beauty and ignoring the government affairs. He was heartbroken and could do nothing.
Wang Wei took advantage of the opportunity and sent Wang Min into the harem, and vigorously developed party members and cronies in the court, and his power became stronger and stronger.
It is precisely because of this that Pei Ren began to fight openly and secretly with the powerful minister Wang Wei.
The court at that time was considered balanced.
However, because of an incident, Pei Ren was beheaded, and now there was no one in the court who could compete with Wang Wei.
And this matter has a huge relationship with Qin Yun himself!
On the 22nd birthday of the original owner of the body, he entertained hundreds of officials in the original Weiyang Palace.
That night was extremely luxurious and lively. As the prime minister, Pei Ren naturally had to bring gifts to celebrate His Majesty's birthday, and that night, as required, he also brought his wife Pei.
After three rounds of drinking, the original owner, the bastard emperor, got drunk. He didn't know what was going on. Seeing that Mr. Pei was good-looking and well-informed, he became lustful.
Someone actually kidnapped Ms. Pei secretly and then forcibly occupied her for the whole night.
The incident broke out the next day and continued to ferment.
How could Pei Ren, a generation of scholars, have suffered such humiliation? Standing in the Tai Chi Hall, he pointed at Qin Yun and cursed angrily, using all the curse words. After cursing, he actually took out a dagger and claimed to kill Qin Yun, this foolish king.
.
Because of this incident, he was imprisoned.
The original owner of the body also felt that the majesty of the king was gone and he was embarrassed. In a rage, he chopped off Pei Ren's head. He was so aggrieved that he died.
And then.
It was an unpleasant thing to seize the wife of a minister. In order to cover up her ugliness, she gave Pei a new identity, named her Jieyu, and then locked her up in the cold palace.
The entire Prime Minister's Office was also implicated and all were exiled. Anyone who dared to mention causing trouble would be beheaded directly.
Over the years, this incident has become a taboo, and no one dares to mention it again. The reputation of Emperor Qin Yun has become very bad. If people familiar with the matter don't talk about it, it doesn't mean that they don't hate it.
Perhaps this was also the reason why many ministers approached Wang Wei.
After listening, Qin Yun was speechless for a long time.
