The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 428 428. Different intentions

Wei Dalang stood in the court and listened to Emperor Qi's instructions on all matters. He thought to himself, fortunately, his father had already planned it. Now, even if the Water Transport Department turns over everything, they can't find out anything about them!

Emperor Qi immediately asked General Su to bring 50,000 Jeju troops to support Bai Chaoan and others in Jinling City. He also drafted an imperial edict. If the evidence is conclusive, Bai Chaoan can kill him first and report later!

General Su took the tiger talisman and the imperial edict that day and ran in the direction of the Jeju Army.

Fortunately, Jeju and Jinling City are in the same direction, so there will be no time delay.

In the palace, Emperor Qi and Xiang Bai were talking alone.

Facing this veteran of three dynasties, Emperor Qi was both respectful and afraid.

If the matter had not been revealed to this extent, he actually had no intention of pursuing it.

After all, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and the people in Zhejiang and Zhejiang will not live an uneventful life because of this.

When the Celestial Dynasty was prosperous and everything was peaceful, this was his summary of his more than ten years in power.

Now that things are happening like this, and after floods and earthquakes, Emperor Qi feels that his past diligence in serving the people has been in vain.

So it's a bit frustrating.

Bai Xiang naturally knew what he was thinking, but it was just like this that Bai Xiang felt that Emperor Qi was not a good emperor.

If the late emperor was still alive, how could the Water Transport Department dare to be so presumptuous!

I'm afraid things will be suppressed as soon as they start to appear, so why worry about today.

"Xiang Bai, can you tell me whether God thinks that I, the emperor, have not done well, so things happen one after another to warn me."

"Your Majesty, the floods in the southwest are caused by the hands of Nanyue and Jiao Rong, and the earthquakes are caused by the floods. As for the corruption of the Water Transport Department, you must know what kind of Daluo gods are behind it, so why bother to bring all the blame? Regarding oneself, according to my humble opinion, whoever commits the evil will be responsible for it."

Bai Xiang knew everything about General Meng's secret letter.

Therefore, Duke Wei's crime cannot be evaded. Now it depends on Emperor Qi's decision.

But looking at his indecisive look, he seemed a little reluctant to let go.

Emperor Qi was indeed reluctant to give up. It would not be difficult to overthrow Duke Wei, but the difficulty was that if he fell, the Ninth Prince would have no chance, and the situation in the court would favor the eldest prince, Prince Ke.

He is still in his prime now, and it is not a good thing for his son to stand out too much.

The threat to his throne is huge.

Therefore, this was the fundamental reason why he could not make up his mind to punish Duke Wei, or the Ninth Prince's faction.

It's a pity that Bai Xiang doesn't take action easily, and when he does, he has murderous intent.

"I heard that the second brother of the Feng family handed over the mine because it collapsed."

"What?"

The collapse of the mine is not big news, but the collapse of the Feng family's mine is a bit strange.

Ever since he could remember it, he had always heard his father praising the Feng family's mine management for its proper management. There had never been any mistakes since the beginning of the dynasty.

How could the Dharmakaya collapse now?

I quickly asked why.

"Your Majesty also knows that the eldest daughter of the old minister married into the Feng family, so we need to know more about this. The reason why the mine collapsed was not the fault of the Feng family, but someone did it deliberately, with the purpose of obtaining Feng's family. The family's account books were taken as his own. Thus, by suppressing the Feng family's power in Liangzhou, he cleverly seized the mine for his own use."

He didn't speak much, but every word fell into Emperor Qi's heart.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about where the Feng family mine is? Where is it closest? If someone really takes that mine as their own and secretly forges weapons, I'm afraid some people will have different intentions."

Hanging on the side of the imperial study is a map of the mountains and rivers of Dajin.

Emperor Qi looked up and saw the word "Qianzhou" in big letters.

All of a sudden, alarm bells rang in his heart.

Qianzhou, Liangzhou.

The Feng family's mines make weapons, and Qianzhou's mountains and clouds are just the right conditions for hiding private soldiers.

And this line was connected by him himself.

Thinking of how noisy Concubine Wei was during the days when the marriage was granted, Emperor Qi felt as sick as if he had eaten a fly.

He never expected this.

For a moment, he was very angry at Duke Wei's calculations.

At that time, Concubine Wei was focused on Princess Qianling. He also felt that the threat was very great, so he specifically found someone to attack her, and then chose an inconspicuous granddaughter of Prince Yu to restrain her. Unexpectedly, she was actually being plotted against her. This gave them the opportunity to be together in a legitimate way.

If Bai Xiang hadn't pointed it out today, I'm afraid he would still be in the dark.

Seeing the change in his expression, Bai Xiang was very indifferent to this.

These words were actually just his guesses, and it was even said that he deliberately led Emperor Qi to think this way in order to make him determined to deal with Duke Wei.

Emperor Qi would not make this determination if he unreally touched his reverse scales.

What he fears most is the change of imperial power, even if the other person is the son he cultivated with his own hands.

Over the years, he had been observing that the Ninth Prince was indeed not a man worthy of such a big responsibility.

If he ascends to power, I'm afraid Da Jin will have little hope for the future.

Therefore, even if the Ninth Prince was dragged down from his high position due to his deliberate "framing" at this moment, he would not hesitate.

Emperor Qi fell into endless silence, and Bai Xiang did not urge him.

After standing there for who knows how long, Bai Xiang's legs became numb, and then he heard that Emperor Qi had called for Wang Gonggong.

"You go to the harem and tell the queen that the imperial concubine is crazy and unfit to hold a high position. From now on, the imperial concubine's golden seal will be taken away from her, she will be demoted to a noble person, and she will be banned from the Hanzhang Palace. She is not allowed to go out unless ordered to do so."

As soon as this order came out, Bai Xiang had no reaction. The prince was so shocked that his jaw dropped, but he did not dare to show any expression on his face.

"Yes, I obey your order."

As soon as the prince left, Emperor Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

When he looked at Bai Xiang again, his eyes were different from the hesitation just now.

Xiao Yunli was indeed his favorite son and the one who was most like him, but if he had any objections, he would not be able to keep him.

Concubine Wei's end was just a warning to them, but if she still wanted to cause trouble, it would be no wonder that her father was ruthless.

Among the royal family, the most indispensable thing is the so-called family affection. After losing one son, he also has many other sons.

Bai Xiang knew in his heart that His Majesty was about to take action.

According to his understanding of Duke Wei, he was afraid that this was just the beginning.

That night, after the Empress personally brought people to read out the imperial edict, Concubine Wei was completely stunned.

She didn't know what happened and why His Majesty suddenly became angry.

Logically speaking, isn’t everything about Concubine Liu Xian in the past?

Is it possible that someone wants to harm her?

So she shouted that she was wronged, especially when she saw the queen's sneer expression, her anger was aroused again.
