Chapter 611 Brain Powder

The tea in the teacup has run out of heat.

Li Shizhong sat alone in the tea room, and the words of Master Qian Zhongshu Ling echoed in his ears.

"...Don't get too close to His Royal Highness, and don't have too much contact with any prince. The Liu family are all cruel and ruthless people, and it's just a free time to turn their faces. According to this old man, in the royal family, only Mrs. Zhao is still affectionate. You are righteous, and you are also capable. It's a pity that as a woman, you can't do great things after all..."

He thought of these words over and over again, almost dazed.

The hawker's yelling sounded outside, and Li Shizhong was awakened by the yelling, and suddenly came back to his senses.

He laughed at himself, how stupid!

It was not the first day he had seen the Liu family's ruthlessness.

The person who sits on the throne does not have a hard heart, nor can he sit in that position securely.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his mind was clear and open-minded, and unconsciously he lost a little bit of the desire to pursue a career.

Seeing Qian Zhongshu Ling seemed to herald his future.

He drank the residual tea and walked out of the tea room, feeling a little lighter all over.

He took the initiative to find Qian Fu and told him to pass on a message, "Tell your Highness, I'm quitting. Whether he wants to cut off my arm, or draw out the bottom line, it's up to him. From now on, I will be a pure minister." .You should come to me again for help with the matter of fly camp dog dog."

"What did you promise my Highness before?" Qian Fu asked.

Li Shizhong sneered, "Don't worry, I am a trustworthy person. The things I promised before are still valid. But from now on, don't come to me. At worst, we will die."

Qian Fu laughed, "The final result of the dead fish and the broken net is that the fish is really dead, and the net can still be used after repairing it. I hope Mr. Li is a trustworthy person and don't go back on what he says. If you want to be a pure minister, my Highness will never stop you. Farewell !"

Li Shizhong also shook his sleeves and left.

Qian Fu returned to the palace, met Liu Zhao, and conveyed Li Shizhong's words.

After hearing this, Liu Zhao laughed.

"He actually wants to be a pure minister? Could it be that the sun comes out from the west?"

Qian Fu bowed and said, "This old slave thinks he wants to distance himself from His Highness."

Liu Zhao smiled sarcastically, "It's not the first day he wanted to separate himself from His Highness,

What's going on this time? "

"Master Li met with Lord Qianzhong Shuling before this."

"I see!"

Liu Zhao smiled knowingly, "Send someone to watch Li Shizhong, there is no need to do extra things, just watch what he has done, who he has met, and what he has said."

"The old slave complies."

Liu Zhao went on to say: "My Highness doesn't believe it, he can really be a pure minister."

After finishing his business, Liu Zhao came to the upper room.

Gu Jiu waved at him, "Come and have a look."

"Who sent the post?"

In Gu Jiu's hand, he was holding an invitation card.

She smiled and said, "Aunt Fu Ya sent someone to send it. It's not a year or a festival, why do you think she posted me a post?"

"Could it be that you want to intercede for Chaoyang?"

"We thought about it together. I plan to reject Aunt Fuya, and the reasons are ready-made. I was assassinated on the street before, although I was not injured, but I was frightened and my spirit has not been very good. I am not willing to write, so you reject her for me."

Liu Zhao nodded, picked up his pen, and rejected Princess Fuya's invitation according to Gu Jiu's intention. Ask someone to send the post back.

"Why does Aunt Fuya speak for Princess Chaoyang? Doesn't she know that it's a troubled time now, and one more thing is worse than one less thing."

Gu Jiu was a little curious.

Liu Zhao guessed the reason, he said: "Back then Princess Chaoyang helped Aunt Fuya, and Aunt Fuya owed her a favor. Now that Princess Chaoyang begged her, she sent you a message, which is to repay the favor. "

After listening to this, Gu Jiu sighed, "It's hard to repay a debt of favor. I'm most afraid of being in debt to others."

"With me here, what are you afraid of?"

Gu Jiu rolled his eyes at him, "Did Your Majesty tell you how many days did you ask you to reflect?"

Liu Zhao said indifferently: "When the turmoil passes, it's almost time for me to go out."

"In your opinion, how long will it take for this turmoil to pass?"

"almost!"

The Jinwu Guards were vicious in their affairs, and wherever they went, families were destroyed. At the same time vigorous and resolute.

Emperor Wende issued a death order, and Wei Zhong carried it out without compromise.

Sleep up to two hours a day, most of the time, no time to sleep at all.

In this way, after working day and night, he finally cleared up the case.

Regardless of whether they were involved in the assassination of Mrs. Zhao, as long as they were named by Emperor Wende, the Jinwu Guards would arrest them all.

No one who is an official these days has a clean ass.

Under the killing power, I am not afraid that I will not be able to ask useful things.

Now that the facts of the crime are known, how to convict him depends on Emperor Wende's will.

Early in the morning, Wei Zhong took a shower specially to wash off the smell of sweat all over his body, and his whole body was completely clean.

He trimmed his beard again, put on court clothes, and looked majestic.

Dressed up, took the file, and went to the palace to meet Emperor Wende.

When Emperor Wende saw the file, he praised him a few words, "That's right, the result came out so soon."

"Thanks to His Majesty, the case went well this time."

Hard Bones was finished three years ago. Those who have survived until now are all a bunch of soft bones, and if they are tortured a little, they will all be recruited.

Emperor Wende flipped through the file, "Have you found out the origin of the refined crossbow?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, we have found out everything. It was all lost in the West Jingying Camp three years ago."

Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "Jingxiying is already rotten, and it needs to be completely rectified."

In fact, Emperor Wende already had a candidate for the commander of the Jingxi Camp in his mind. Before the time came, there was no promotion.

Now that the time is right, Emperor Wende can no longer hold back, and wants to promote his confidants wantonly.

Emperor Wende said to Wei Zhong: "You go back first, I will make my own decision on this case."

A few days later, Emperor Wende made an order.

The arrested civil servants, without exception, were all ransacked and exiled.

None of the generals captured, beheaded, exiled, came to a good end. No matter who pleads for mercy.

This time, many positions were freed up.

Before the courtiers flocked to move, Emperor Wende directly acted arbitrarily, announcing the appointment of personnel in the early court.

Li Shizhong got his wish and was promoted to Zhongshu Ling. From now on, he is Master Zhongshu Ling.

However, the position of servant in Menxia Province fell to a little-known Zhongshu Sheren, surnamed Lu.

It wasn't until this time that the courtiers suddenly realized.

This Zhongshusheren with the surname Lu, who never shows his face, turned out to be someone who was placed in Zhongshu Province by Emperor Wende in his early years. Hidden too deep.

You must know that Lu, whose surname is Zhongshu Sheren, has worked in Zhongshu Province for nearly twenty years.

Damn!

Rather than saying that the one surnamed Lu hid deeply, it is better to say that Emperor Wende hid deeply.

Emperor Wende has been on the throne for two or three years, but he hasn't revealed a word, how deep is this.

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking about their colleagues, who could be the nail buried by Emperor Wende?

The previous Shang Shuling, the lord, still failed to gain the upper hand in the weird court turmoil, and was finally forced to resign from his post and left Beijing in despair.

The newly promoted Shangshuling lord is not unexpected.

Mr. Zhao, Minister of the Household Department, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Finance and concurrently Minister of the Household Department.

Now, the Ministry of Households overwhelmed the Ministry of Officials.

The courtiers began a new round of whispering, what is the meaning of Emperor Wende's move?

Before the courtiers discussed the reason, Emperor Wende announced the appointment of generals. Without exception, all generals came from the palace, and they were all confidantes of Emperor Wende.

In the entire capital camp, half of the key positions were replaced by Emperor Wende's people.

Emperor Wende had completely mastered the military power of the Beijing Daying Camp. His imperial power has also been consolidated like never before.

The courtiers were powerless to refute this arrangement.

It cannot be said that the military power should be handed over to someone with two hearts. Beware of a censor jumping out and impeaching a man who harbored evil intentions and conspired to rebel.

The most sensitive thing right now is the word rebellion.

Kill me!

The reason why Emperor Wende set off a major case was not because he suspected that someone was conspiring to rebel.

Civil servants and military generals, those who died, those who were exiled, the blood at Caishikou in the capital has not yet dried up, and then it is the turn of the clan.

The courtiers stretched their necks, wanting to see how Emperor Wende would deal with the clan.

Emperor Wende did not disappoint the long-awaited ministers.

Following three decrees in succession, he seized the titles of Chaoyang and the other two old lords, and demoted them to common people.

Secondly, everyone in Youcai Gambling Workshop, whoever is involved, will be served with a guillotine at the mouth of the vegetable market and beheaded for public display.

None of the dozens of stewards in the Princess Mansion were spared, and they were all thrown to the vegetable market to be beheaded.

Except for Chaoyang, all the people in the princess mansion were exiled for a thousand miles and rushed to the northeast to open up wasteland.

The family members of the two old princes were not spared and were exiled to the south to open up wasteland.

Chaoyang and the two old princes were imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple.

...

Emperor Wende was in high spirits and came to the Compassion Palace to pay his respects.

"How is the queen mother?"

Empress Dowager Xiao became haggard and tired, "Recently, there have been more people entering the palace to pay their respects, and the Ai family has also worked hard for a few days."

"I have already said that the queen mother does not need to pay attention to those people."

"They are all relatives of the royal family. Relatives with broken bones and tendons can't really disappear. And they didn't make things difficult for Aijia. Aijia said they couldn't help, so they all left wisely."

Emperor Wende snorted, "In the past, he was too kind to these clans, and each of them acted mischievously based on their clan status. This time, I hope these people can learn a lesson and restrain themselves."

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed and asked, "Are you going to keep them locked up?"

Emperor Wende said seriously: "I promised my mother that I would save Chaoyang's life, so naturally I will not kill her."

Empress Dowager Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Take it as repaying her favor for helping your father."

"What the queen mother said is very true, and I think so too."

Empress Dowager Xiao was really relieved, "This mess is finally over."

At the banquet held by Princess Huyang that day, who would have thought that the dispute between Gu Jiu and Princess Chaoyang would cause such a big disturbance.

The blood at Caishikou was still wet, and hundreds of human heads rolled to the ground. Absolutely appalling!

Several civilian and military generals in the capital were arrested and beheaded.

There are three or four thousand people who were exiled alone.

There were tens of thousands of slaves who were sold off.

In the recent period, the capital is full of criminals who have sold their wealth.

Tens of thousands of people were involved in this chaos.

I don't know when the blood at Caishikou will be dry.

...

After the case was over, Beijing City Wells had another theory.

Said that Mrs. Zhao is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, the star king in the sky.

Whoever offends the God of Wealth will not end well.

For example, the Zhu family back then, and the Chaoyang Princess Mansion today.

The Zhu family resolutely surrendered, and the whole family was saved.

Relying on his status, Chaoyang fought to the end, but the whole family got involved.

This is a foreign relative, but reduced to exile and open up wasteland.

Tsk tsk, this fate is also embarrassing.

"Hmph! It's all nonsense!"

Sitting in the teahouse, Zhou Yi listened to the diners talking about how great the God of Wealth is, and felt annoyed that anyone who offended the God of Wealth would end badly.

The nanny who followed Zhou Yi was specially arranged by Princess Fuming. The purpose is to keep an eye on Zhou Yi and prevent her from messing around.

The mother advised her: "Grandma, don't say a few words. Mrs. Zhao is not what she used to be, so it's best for aunt to avoid her sharp edge."

Zhou Yi gritted her teeth, remembering the first month banquet, she begged Gu Jiu for help. In the end, Gu Jiu shook her face and directly rejected her. As a result, her marriage has still not been settled until now.

She said disdainfully: "What's so great about her is that she can make money. If I can make money too, wouldn't I also become the God of Wealth?"

The mother was upset, she stared, and said: "Grandma be careful, Mrs. Zhao is not good at making money, she has a bit of ability to turn things into gold. Outside the gate of the south city, refugees used to gather, and it was a dirty place. I don't know anyone in the capital. But Mrs. Zhao has a way to turn the outside of the South City Gate into a hen that lays golden eggs. Only the God of Wealth has this ability."

After identification, this nanny is clearly Gu Jiu's fan!

Princess Fuming sent Gu Jiu's idiot fan to serve Zhou Yi, is it because she wants to piss Zhou Yi off?
