The night was dark, Emperor Wu lay on the bedside and read for a while, and was about to go to bed when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.
"Your Majesty!" Lu Ming, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, hurriedly entered the emperor's palace and knelt down on one knee, "The Crown Princess and Mr. Huangfu ask to see you."
Emperor Wu turned his head subconsciously and glanced at the sky outside: "The Crown Princess and Mr. Huangfu?"
It's so late, why would these two people ask for a meeting together?
"yes."
"Let them in."
After a while, Yun Zishu and Huangfu Lingfeng walked in, with Yun Zishu in front and Huangfu Lingfeng a step behind, maintaining the dignity and respectability that a monarch and his ministers should have.
After entering the palace, Yun Zishu bowed slightly and said, "I have no choice but to disturb the emperor so late. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Huangfu Lingfeng stood aside and glanced at Yun Zishu silently, secretly thinking that the royal family in the imperial city said that he was unruly and arrogant. He saw that the Crown Princess was even more aloof and arrogant than him.
After all, the Crown Princess was so perfunctory in her salutes in front of the Emperor, and she had been married to the Crown Prince for so long, yet she still hadn't changed her name to "Father"?
Emperor Wu looked at them puzzled: "You came to the palace so late to see me, but something happened?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "There's something going on, and it's not a big deal."
Emperor Wu suddenly became interested: "Tell me about it."
"I want to take the Royal Guards to ransack the house, and I hope the Emperor will allow it." Yun Zishu's tone was calm, as if she didn't feel how shocking this sentence was at all.
Emperor Wu was silent for a moment, then slowly sat up and asked, "Whose house is being raided?"
"Master Wang, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Emperor Wu looked surprised: "Is there any evidence?"
"The evidence must be copied out." Yun Zishu said this in an extremely calm tone, with a calm and calm demeanor in her eyebrows. "Major General Huangfu can help me. I believe there will be no problem."
When Emperor Wu heard this, his eyes fell on Huangfu Lingfeng's face: "Do you think it's feasible?"
Huangfu Lingfeng nodded: "It's feasible."
Tonight's plan was planned by the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, how could it not work?
Emperor Wu took a deep breath. He didn't expect Yun Zishu to be so fast. He subconsciously felt a little impulsive. The Minister of Civil Affairs had developed a lot of power in recent years. She rashly led people to raid the house, fearing that it would be difficult to convince the public. What if...
But with Huangfu Lingfeng assisting, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
However, in order to be more confident, Emperor Wu still asked: "Is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at home now?"
"No." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "He is trapped in Nansheng Hall."
Nansheng Pavilion?
Emperor Wu frowned: "He went to visit a brothel?"
"No." Yun Zishu shook her head, "It's his son visiting a brothel."
Huangfu Lingfeng stood aside, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. He couldn't help but wonder if Yun Zishu was infected by the prince's reticence. She asked and answered questions like this when talking to the emperor? Is it to titillate?
Sure enough, Emperor Wu looked at Yun Zishu silently: "You can say a few more words."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and said calmly: "Wang Shangshu's son went to the Nansheng Pavilion tonight, intending to compete for the oiran girl Nansheng. Unfortunately, he went a step too late, and the Nansheng girl was ordered by other distinguished guests. Wang
The young master refused to give up and took out
After throwing tens of thousands of taels of silver notes at someone, he was determined to get Miss Nan Sheng. Unfortunately, the distinguished guest was also a tough guy and refused to give in. During the fierce argument between the two parties, Prince Wang was thrown from the third floor window and accidentally fell.
A broken leg."
She spoke in enough detail that Emperor Wu's eyebrows moved slightly: "So Wang Shangshu went to seek justice for his son?"
Yun Zishu nodded: "Yes."
"Who is that distinguished guest?"
Yun Zishu raised her lips: "Prince."
Emperor Wu twitched the corner of his mouth, well, it turned out that it had been planned, so there would be no problem.
Emperor Wu was in a good mood and slowly leaned back on the bed: "The princess has no idea about the prince's visit to the brothel?"
Yun Zishu said calmly: "He went there to do business, but he just happened to choose the location at Nansheng Pavilion, which has nothing to do with visiting a brothel."
Emperor Wu nodded: "Since you and the prince have already made a plan, I naturally have no reason to object. I hope you will have a good harvest tonight."
Yun Zishu nodded: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huangfu Lingfeng resigned: "I will assist the Crown Princess, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Emperor Wu has nothing to worry about. Although Huangfu Lingfeng often acts carelessly and is unreliable, there is no doubt about his ability to do things. With his help, no one can stop him in the Shangshu Mansion.
"Early tomorrow morning, officials from the DPRK and the Central Committee will successively submit articles to impeach Wang Shangshu. It is already July, and in two months it will be the season of questioning and beheading after the autumn." Yun Zishu said indifferently, "In two months, it should be
It is enough to find out the big and small fish involved in Wang Shangshu's buying and selling of officials. The emperor can first think about who should be handed over to save this political achievement."
When Huangfu Lingfeng heard these words, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. The tone and courage of the princess's words at this time were indeed similar to the prince, but not as cold as the prince.
"Lu Ming." Emperor Wu turned to look at the commander of the Royal Forest Army who was standing aside, "You must gather your troops immediately and leave the palace with the Crown Princess. You can do whatever she asks you to do."
"Humble your duties and obey your orders."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yun Zishu saluted and thanked her, then turned and left the palace.
"I will take my leave first." Huangfu Lingfeng bowed hastily and turned to follow Yun Zishu.
Emperor Wu stood up and walked to the palace gate, silently watching the departing figures of Yun Zishu and Imperial Palace Ling Feng, knowing clearly that it would be difficult to sleep tonight.
"Yuan Hai."
"The slave is here."
"Zaijia Baoxiang Palace." Emperor Wu raised his hand, "I'm going to talk to Concubine Gua."
"yes."
Lu Ming ordered the Imperial Guards to follow Yun Zishu out of the palace. When he arrived outside the palace, he found that Yun Zishu had not spoken since she got on the carriage, and the carriage showed no sign of moving.
"Wait for now." Yun Zishu leaned against the carriage, and her voice came from the carriage, "Wait."
wait?
Lu Ming was confused, what are you waiting for?
Yun Zishu didn't say anything, just leaned quietly in the carriage. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been riding a horse with more momentum.
But it doesn't matter. Riding a horse or a carriage will not affect the result of the house search tonight.
The sky was getting darker and darker, the torches in the hands of the imperial guards illuminated the dark night, and the air was filled with the smell of an approaching rainstorm.
Time passed little by little, and Wang Shangshu was struggling in his heart, with cold sweat seeping out layer after layer. Under the pressure of the prince's unyielding momentum, he finally stood up and walked outside the door, calling out to a servant: "
You go back home immediately and ask your wife to prepare 50,000 taels of silver for you. No matter what you think of, ask her to collect it tonight."
As he spoke, he tried his best to wink at the boy, but he didn't know if he understood: "Sir, do you want banknotes or silver?"
The Minister of Libu's face froze, and he wished he could slap him to death. Can he show a little bit of embarrassment?
"grown ups?"
The Minister of Civil Affairs took a deep breath: "It's so late, it would be good to get some money, whether it's banknotes or silver, as long as you can get 50,000 taels together."
