Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 138 Storm

After Weiyuan Hou left that night, the concubines in the harem also rushed outside the Ganqing Palace in the name of concern for the emperor.

Fortunately, Xie Xi and Cao Shouli had already made arrangements, and the eunuchs in the Sili Supervisor had no choice but to deal with these concubines who had lived in the harem for a long time.

When the concubines saw that the people from Dongchang were guarding the door, they were all silent. Even the most arrogant concubine Tang Zhuang, who was usually the most arrogant, asked Zhang Gu a few questions and left in a hurry.

It is rare that an extremely harmonious scene appeared in the harem, but the disputes in the previous dynasty became increasingly fierce.

On the morning morning of the next morning, the most lively scene in Zhengxing appeared.

In the past, civil and military officials formed a faction with each other and formed a group of people. This time, they tacitly pointed the finger at two people - Liu Qingyuan, the chief assistant of the cabinet and Luo Xiu, the Minister of Works.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Qingyuan, has always been a firm party to establish the legitimate party. He was regarded as the leader of a civil servant in the past, but this time he was impeached for no reason.

The reason why Liu Qingyuan was impeached was extremely simple, he was just a corpse and was left alone.

Luo Xiu, the Minister of Works, was even more violently. After the last time the censor was unsuccessful, Li Zhuwen, the censor of the Censorate, gathered two more censors to participate in the court and participated in Luo Xiu's corruption and bribery for public purposes.

During the Dayan period, the comments between civil officials rarely used corruption to make a fuss.

A fourth-rank official’s annual salary is only enough for the expenses of a family of four. If he does not have some extra income, he will not be able to support his decent officialdom.

Apart from taking the emperor's pulse regularly, there is nothing else. Lin Zisu reiterated the cause and effect and always felt that there was something omission in this matter.

When choosing Li Zhuwen, it is naturally because this person has no interest in various factions.

Zuodu Censor Tao Ran secretly cursed Li Zhuwen in his heart. He sent someone to send a message to Li Zhuwen last night, asking him to prepare to participate in Luo Xiu's memorial today.

After the court meeting, Xie Yao issued an edict, Luo Xiu, the Minister of Works, was suspended from his post and was allowed to participate, and strictly investigated all kinds of affairs such as bribery.

This Li Zhuwen is an exception. He first worked as a Qingshui Hanlin for three years, and then served as an academician for two years. He had no idea about these official system rules.

There is such a way to poison without knowing the truth. If it is to take the emperor's life, there are some strong poisons, so why should I apply such poison?

Not to mention that in recent years, the imperial court's treasury has been tight, and the annual salary cannot be paid in full. Most officials rely on income other than their salary.

On that day, the Ministry of Justice sent people to surround Luo's mansion, and Luo Xiu was also thrown into the imperial prison by Xie Yao in the name of the prince of the State.

The emperor shook his head and said, "It can be said yes, or it can be said not."

Therefore, although Lin Yuanzhi had several more charges than others, he still stayed in his mansion.

Lin Zisu replied without hesitation: "Is it because I have cured Your Majesty?"

As soon as his attendance was heard this time, all the officials at the court meeting looked awkward.

Lin Zisu didn't understand the emperor's meaning, and was waiting for the emperor to continue speaking, but the emperor said something irrelevant: "Su Yatou, don't worry, I won't let those people make trouble."

If I wanted the emperor to be ill, I would not give such a small amount of weight, so I would easily solve it.

The emperor's poisoning is difficult to explain anyway.

But this time it was beyond his expectations. Xie Yao did not hesitate and did not give Luo Xiu any chance to argue.

It would be a public anger that was exposed.

Time is in urgent need, and Tao Ran has no time to read the contents of Li Zhuwen's participation. Anyway, it's just a reason to find.

Besides, if others are not clean, they will not be much better. This is equivalent to participating in yourself. No censor would use this crime stupidly.

Tao Ran was nervous. The last time Li Zhuwen handed over the memorial, he didn't even startle a splash.

Lin Yuanzhi and Luo Xiu have a good relationship, and the Lin family is not spared. On the second day after Luo Xiu was admitted to the imperial prison, Lin Yuanzhi was also regarded as Luo Xiu's accomplice, and the Lin family also encountered the same experience as the Luo family.

The emperor was extremely poisoned this time. After being controlled by the golden needle, he took the medicine prescribed by Lin Zisu that night and had no symptoms of poisoning.

As Luo Xiu was impeached and imprisoned, all the officials related to Luo Xiu were liquidated.

When Lin Zisu heard that Lin Yuanzhi was implicated, she finally found it difficult to calm down.

Fortunately, Lin Yuanzhi had the identity of Corning Bo. According to the Dayan regulations, the Lord's crime must be reported to the emperor by the clan's office before he can be convicted.

Although it is a well-known secret, it cannot be told to outsiders.

However, the difference is that in addition to the cliques, Lin Yuanzhi also had several crimes such as contempt of the royal family, privately entrusted with each other, and lax family tutoring.

It seems that the emperor is already confident. He has detoxified him and is worthy of Xie Xi's trust.

The memorial he participated in was somewhat convincing to others.

When Tao Ran heard this in the court, he was stunned. Li Zhuwen, a nerd, chose such a reason.

This sentence is quite strange. Logically speaking, as an emperor, you don’t need to make any promises to yourself.

It’s ridiculous to think about it. Luo Xiu had just taken office as Minister of Works, but it took only a few months. Doesn’t such a memorial accusation that the emperor of unknown employment?

The capital was already covered with dark clouds, and a storm began.

"Su Yatou, do you know why your family suffered such a disaster?"

Lin Zisu, who was far away in the Forbidden City, still knew that Lin’s mansion had been surrounded by the Ministry of Justice.

The reason is very simple. The salary set by Taizu during the reign of time was too low, and the salary of most officials was barely enough to make a living.

But he had to do it, and in desperation, he chose Li Zhuwen to find out what consequences would be.

Because the queen claimed that the emperor woke up within seven days, Lin Zisu could only temporarily live in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Cao Shouli arranged for the people from the East Factory to monitor the movements of civil and military officials. The emperor knew every move of the previous dynasty.

This sudden poisoning made the emperor lose his usual rationality. At the moment he woke up, he began to reflect on whether he had been too polite in his past governance.

When listening to the secret report, the emperor never shyed away from Lin Zisu, as if he regarded Lin Zisu as a junior around him.

Immediately afterwards, the former disciples and officials related to Luo Xiu were implicated, and more than a dozen Beijing officials were successively sent to the imperial prison by the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate.

This promise from the emperor is to highlight his importance to himself.

Lin Zisu still couldn't let go of her heart completely. Although the emperor used her plan, it was still different from what he expected after all these few days.

Based on the secret reports she heard, the emperor had lost control of some things in the capital.

While having meals in the side hall that night, a young eunuch who delivered the meal suddenly slipped to Lin Zisu and whispered: "Miss Lin, my master asked me to ask you, how is the emperor's condition?"
