Xin You was silent for a while and said calmly: "Then I wish him happiness and success."

“Girl, don’t you like Mr. He? Since Long Live Grandpa is willing to marry the princess to him, why don’t you tell Long Live Grandpa?” Xiaolian was anxious about Xin You’s reaction and couldn’t help but say something else.

Xin You had long known that her thoughts could not be hidden from Xiao Lian, who was with her day and night. Now when Xiao Lian asked her, she no longer concealed her thoughts: "The Emperor will not agree. If I say it, I will be controlled by others."

 Not only the forces that wanted to get rid of her quickly, but also that person. From now on, whenever she wanted to fight, he would be able to make her compromise with Sir He.

His support for her and the preference he showed these days will not blind her. When necessary, what he cares about is the interests of the country and himself.

“My servant doesn’t understand.” Xiao Lian shook her head.

Xin You smiled and said softly, "Because I don't want to be a princess who can be used to do favors to my subjects at any time."

If after revealing her identity, she returns to the royal family and becomes a peaceful princess, and she likes Mr. He, he will definitely be happy to see it happen.

 Not only did he satisfy his daughter's wish, but he also showed favor to his ministers.

 But she wanted to implement the New Deal and change some of the political patterns of the dynasty, and Mr. He's unencumbered background was destined to fail her.

It is not difficult to deduce that if there is a princess who stirs up troubles, and then there is a prince-in-law who can follow the princess to death without family restraint, that person will only agree to it unless his brain is crazy.

Xiao Lian vaguely understood, and looked at Xin You with distressed eyes: "Girl, what should you do?"

  Xinyou did not answer.

Stepping into the political whirlpool, it is destined that there will no longer be a planned answer.

 She doesn’t know what the future will be like.

Fast forward to August, the tax collection in the North was successfully completed. Although it was not as much as the increase in tax revenue in the South, it also doubled.

Emperor Xingyuan was completely relieved and rewarded Yong Anbo and others who went to the north to implement the New Deal. Even Xiaoba was given the empty post of sixth-grade school captain and began to vigorously implement the New Deal across the country.

 With successful pilot projects in the north and the south, it will be much easier to promote it. This is easy not only because there are ready-made examples, but also because there is a level of confidence that was unprecedented before the New Deal was implemented. Seeing the tangible benefits, the emperor was determined to promote the New Deal, and some wavering officials became firm.

With the increase in national treasury revenue, the flood disasters reported in some places are no longer so annoying, and they are nothing more than disaster relief, building dams and other matters. It can be said that most of Emperor Xingyuan's worries were suddenly solved by money during the flood season every year.

Since he was less worried about state affairs, Emperor Xingyuan had more energy to pay attention to He Qingxiao, who was shutting up and thinking about his past.

Nearly a month has passed, and the boy has still not moved. Is it true that he won't kill him?

 The more Emperor Xingyuan thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

 In a mansion, several officials gathered together to discuss, headed by Sun Ying, the Minister of Rites.

“At the moment, the New Deal seems to be unstoppable.”

“It’s all Xinyou’s fault. The noble princess is so imprudent that she insists on interfering with the affairs of the court.”

“I heard that sharing the land with farmers is just the first step. Later, the government and gentry will be promoted to work as errands and pay grain—”

 One person stood up and said, "It's tolerable, but who can't be tolerated!"

If we say that working on the farm is cutting out their flesh, then working as a messenger and collecting grains for the officials and gentry is like breaking their bones and pulling out their tendons. It is a huge insult to their ten years of hard work to gain fame.

"It's not just Xin You. The Marquis of Changle, He Qingxiao, is able to feed himself and the whole family is not hungry. It is because he does not push the oil and salt through the iron surface that the implementation of the new policy in the south is so smooth."    "Don't think about it, if there is a new policy to be implemented, he will be a good one. knife!"

One person suddenly smiled: "If we break this knife, we will save a lot of trouble."

Someone immediately supported: "That's right. The emperor prefers Xin You, and we can't do anything about her for the time being. It's better to deal with the Marquis of Changle first. The emperor has been dissatisfied with He Qingxiao recently, so it's a good time to bring him down..."

 A few days later, a famous official impeached He Qingxiao for shielding the guilty minister.

"Xie Yang disrespected His Majesty, which was originally a capital crime, but Changle Marquis He Qingxiao secretly sent Xie Yang out of prison when he was ill, and used the corpse of another person to pretend that Xie Yang died of illness in prison. As the envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town, He Qingxiao, but If you are obedient to your yin and your yin is disobedient, you will deceive the emperor and ignore your superiors. I think it is a crime to deceive the emperor!"

After hearing the content of the impeachment, Emperor Xingyuan was in disbelief.

Xie Yang was an engineering major. A fire broke out in a royal garden the year before last. Emperor Xingyuan wanted to expand the garden. Xie Yang repeatedly remonstrated with him on the grounds of extravagance. However, to no avail, he made disrespectful remarks and was sentenced to prison.

Emperor Xingyuan heard about Xie Yang again, that is, he died of illness in prison. At that time, he still felt a trace of regret, thinking that after the anger subsided, he should release the smelly stone, quit his official position and send it away far away.

But it's one thing for him to have a little regret, and it's another thing for Beizhen's envoy to be his eyes and ears.

 You can hide Xie Yang’s matters from him, but what about other matters?

Emperor Xingyuan was already furious. He suppressed his anger and asked for evidence, and then saw Xie Yang with his own eyes.

Yan Guan said again: "Xie Yang was hiding in Shicheng, and he happened to be recognized by a traveling businessman. The opportunity came to my ears. I was afraid of disturbing the grass and alarming the snake, so I quietly sent people to capture this guilty minister, and then I dared to retaliate to Your Majesty."

Emperor Xingyuan stared at the man kneeling below with a livid face, and asked coldly: "Xie Yang, what else do you have to say?"

Xie Yang is only in his thirties, and now looks more than ten years older than his actual age, with many gray hairs growing on his temples.

When Emperor Xingyuan asked, he kowtowed heavily: "It is not a pity for the sinners to thank Yang for his death. Please forgive Mr. He..."

Emperor Xingyuan couldn't listen to a word of Xie Yang's plea for He Qingxiao. His chest was filled with anger, and he wanted to kill the young man who had betrayed his trust immediately.

That's all for others. The rebellious minister was the envoy of Jinlin Weibei Town and his eyes, ears and arms. Was this a simple betrayal of his trust? It was clear that he, the emperor, had become a joke to all the noble officials!

Emperor Xingyuan was so angry that his eyes turned black and his fingertips became cold. He gritted his teeth and said, "Congratulations to Qingxiao for your visit!"

He Qingxiao, who was supposed to go to court, was in the Marquis' Mansion because he was punished to shut up and reflect on his past mistakes. It was already more than half an hour later when he came to the palace after receiving the order.

 “I congratulate Qingxiao for meeting Your Majesty.” Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, He Qingxiao knelt down and saluted.

Emperor Xingyuan looked down at the panicked young man. His heart became more and more angry, but his voice sounded calm.

 Eerie calm.

 “He Qingxiao, the official impeached you for subverting the good news and shielding the guilty minister Xie Yang, can you plead guilty?”

He Qingxiao turned her head slightly and looked at Xie Yang who was kneeling beside him.

Xie Yang burst into tears and his eyes were full of guilt.

He Qingxiao looked away and lowered his head: "I will be punished by death."

"You really deserve to die!" Emperor Xingyuan saw that he recognized him and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, "Someone, take He Qingxiao outside the Meridian Gate and kill him with a stick!"
