Chapter 360 Avoiding bigger variables
Linfengdu in the north was where Emperor Mingxi's army was stationed.

Inside the camp, Black Eagle reported back: "Your Majesty, Miss Xiao and her group are heading south."

Emperor Mingxi's eyes darkened: "Duan Lei didn't ask where he was going?"

Black Eagle looked troubled and responded: "Your Majesty, when I heard that Miss Xiao, she just replied, just follow her, and ignored Duan Lei. Duan Lei had nothing to do. Your Majesty, Miss Xiao really went to arrest Ye Green?"

Emperor Mingxi chuckled softly: "When did Xiao Jinxi become so easy to talk to? She answers whatever I ask. She is telling me on purpose."

"Dugu Ziyan and Xiao Tianhao have been colluding together for a long time, and because of Qingluan's relationship, Xiao Jinxi must know about Ye Qing."

"It doesn't matter. If she wants to go out, let her go out. I just want to see what is her real purpose of going out? Where will she go in the end?"

"Did you send Ye Qing's portrait to Duan Lei?"

Black Eagle hurriedly replied: "I have already given it to you. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Duan Lei will destroy it after reading it."

"Yes." Emperor Mingxi said: "Tell Duan Lei, if I want to know Xiao Jinxi's whereabouts, just keep an eye on me. Don't interfere in Xiao Jinxi's affairs and make all kinds of excuses for Xiao Jinxi. As long as you see it is Ye Qing, Send the message back immediately. Black Snow will naturally know how to do the rest."

Black Eagle bowed and replied: "Yes. However, Your Majesty, Miss Xiao made those people stand with bowls all night last night, for fear of testing their martial arts skills. Will Wei Mo figure out who Hei Xue is?"

Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi chuckled softly: "Heixue is best at camouflaging and hiding, and is not so easy to see. She single-handedly led that team, and she knows how to cooperate with her."

Black Eagle responded: "The Emperor is right, as long as Miss Xiao is willing to keep people, Hei Xue can always find a suitable opportunity."

Emperor Mingxi asked: "Well, has the news been released?"

Black Eagle responded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the news has just been released."

"Soon, the people in the northern border will all know that the emperor was very angry when he heard about Zhang Tianling and Yang Yuqing. He ordered Vice General Wang to go to the northern border to summon the Marquis of Wu'an to come to Fengdu to express his comfort. He also ordered the Marquis of Wu'an to escort Zhang Tianling and Yang Yuqing. Yang Yuqing came together to interrogate the two of them in front of the emperor. Your Majesty, according to time, Vice General Wang will be able to arrive at the northern military camp tomorrow."

"Very good." Emperor Mingxi chuckled softly: "Marquis Wu'an, Murong Yi, you are looking for Prince Yu! I am the emperor of Tianqi! I want to see if you will accept this imperial edict! Ha... you If you don't accept it, then I can prove that you have rebellious intentions, and those rumors will naturally be questioned by the world."

Then he asked: "Xiao Yun hasn't shown up yet?"

Black Eagle looked troubled and responded: "No, Your Majesty, several strongholds have sent signals, but they still haven't received a reply from the leader. Your Majesty, will the leader not come to the north?"

Emperor Mingxi shook his head: "No, Xiao Yun's martial arts is so high. There are not many people who can capture him and keep him trapped. Wait a minute. Remember, keep an eye on people."

Black Eagle responded hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the leader of that stronghold doesn't know about it. The guard has never gone out, and the leader can't find him there."

"Well, very good." Emperor Mingxi responded, but his face was dark, his brows were furrowed, and the stone pressing on his heart could not be put down. There were really not many people who could capture Xiao Yun and trap him. I'm afraid!After so long, Wu'anhou Mansion should have noticed that the person was missing.But Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi never showed a trace of nervousness, which was unusual.And until now, there is no news about Xiao Yun, which is too unusual.

At this moment, the voice of the secret guard came from outside the camp: "Commander."

Hearing the sound, Black Eagle hurried out of the camp, and when he came back, he held a message in his hand, with an anxious expression on his face, and hurriedly reported back: "Your Majesty, the news from the Imperial Capital, the three banks you asked to check before have been found. Bao. Chang Qianzhuang and Huiyuan Qianzhuang have no problems. Only this Sihai Qianzhuang is..."

Hearing this, Emperor Mingxi's face darkened: "What happened to Sihai Bank?"

Black Eagle said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the real master behind Sihai Bank is... the Eleventh Prince."

"What!" Emperor Mingxi was instantly shocked: "Murong Yi! It's actually Murong Yi!"

Black Eagle looked troubled and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, when Concubine Li married into Tianqi, Sihai Bank was prepared by the Mo family for Concubine Li. However, this item was not included in Concubine Li's dowry list, so No one in the Apocalypse court knows anything about it. Except... except... Emperor Qianxing."

Emperor Mingxi could not hide his anger, opened the letter and glared...
Black Eagle said tremblingly: "According to the information we found, the scale of Sihai Bank was not large back then. It was Emperor Qianxing who secretly supported it, and it gradually became one of Tianqi's top five banks. In addition, in these years, the eleventh Under the prince’s management, Sihai Bank is now ahead of Baochang Bank and Huiyuan Bank.”

Emperor Mingxi stared at the letter in his hand, his eyes full of murderous intent, and growled: "Ha...ha... No wonder Prince Yu was able to secretly find out the bank account information, but did not reveal any information. It turned out to be Your Murong Yi's handiwork!"

"Ha...Emperor Qianxing, you really love this little son! Even if he dies, I'm afraid this little son won't be able to rely on you! Hehe... Emperor Zongyuan is your legitimate descendant, but he hasn't received such protection from you. !”

Feeling the anger of Emperor Mingxi, Black Eagle lowered his head tremblingly, feeling increasingly uneasy. Sihai Bank belonged to the Eleventh Prince, and Prince Nayu must have more evidence in his hands!Nowadays, the northern border is full of rumors. Now it seems that Prince Yu is competing with the emperor for the hearts of the people!Will Prince Yu reveal to the world everything he found out from the bank? If so, even Emperor Zongyuan will be implicated. If so, the current situation will only be more unfavorable to the emperor!
After a while, Emperor Mingxi picked up a pen and paper and started writing quickly. Soon, he handed the letter to Black Eagle and shouted angrily: "Send the message back and let them find an opportunity to press charges, seal up Sihai Bank, and immediately control all For money coming in and going out, first take down the main store in the Imperial Capital. If you want to do it quickly, speed it up for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Black Eagle quickly took the letter and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Emperor Mingxi shouted: "Wait a minute."

Hearing the sound, Black Eagle hurried back, bowed and waited.

After writing the case, Emperor Mingxi frowned, with doubts in his eyes. He always felt that something was missing?What is it?
Suddenly, I remembered something in an instant, with surprise in my eyes, Yangzhou!
By the way, Yangzhou is a place rich in grain. Murong Yi’s grain was allocated from Yangzhou last time, but he couldn’t find where it was allocated from!The business of Sihai Bank has already covered all the capitals of Tianqi, and half of the money transactions in Yangzhou are controlled by Sihai Bank.

By the way, the Rong family, most of the food in Yangzhou is in the hands of the Rong family!One controls money transactions, and the other controls food!Murong Yi and Rong Haoyu, these two are definitely related!
By the way, Cangyang Pearl!Xiao Jinxi’s Cangyang Pearl, the Rong family’s Cangyang Pearl!That's right, Rong Haoyu is Murong Yi's man!
Emperor Mingxi could no longer hide his anger. He took back the letter and started writing again, shouting angrily: "Black Eagle, take down the Imperial Capital Head Office and Yangzhou branch together. Also, take down all the Rong family's stores in Yangzhou. One Don’t let them go!”

Black Eagle was startled: "The Rong family of Yangzhou? Your Majesty, are you saying that the Rong family of Yangzhou also belongs to the eleventh prince? But after the Rong family's granary caught fire last time, the Rong family just asked the government to investigate, and there was no other follow-up action."

Emperor Mingxi smiled and shouted angrily: "No, Rong Haoyu is giving up his car to protect his commander! In order to cover up this relationship, Murong Yi is really willing to give up! Hurry! Send the message immediately and get them all for me! "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Black Eagle hurriedly accepted the order and left. At this time, he was already deeply shocked. It seemed that the Eleventh Prince had just returned to Apocalypse, but his foundation in Apocalypse was already so deep!
After writing the case, Emperor Mingxi smiled softly and said coldly: "Prince Yu, Murong Yi, Xiao Jinxi, when I cut off your money and food, I want to see what you will have to fight with me!"

······
The Imperial Capital of Tianqi, the residence of Drunken Immortal.

In Meixiang Pavilion, Jiang Mu hurriedly walked over, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Uncle Yun just sent someone to deliver the banknotes. The bank has already found those banknotes."

Hearing this, Prince Gong Murong An quickly took the letter and opened it, his voice turned cold: "Han Xiao! Is this the Dai Viet businessman that Miss Xiao found out before?"

Jiang Mu hurriedly replied: "Yes, that's the person. His real name is Han Su, and he is from Nangong Chu, Prince of Qi in Daiyue. This person was originally the domestic slave of Prince Qi, and later he started to sell goods between Tianqi and Daiyue. He was made in Tianqi The identity is Han Xiao. Now it is certain that this person is the one Nangong Chu arranged to contact Emperor Mingxi in Tianqi."

"That day, a new batch of banknotes happened to come into the bank, and this person just went to pick it up. He took out a total of 500 taels of banknotes. Those banknotes with serial numbers we saw were just a few of them."

Hearing this, Prince Gong Murong'an's eyes darkened and he shouted angrily: "So, Eunuch Cao is from Nangong Chu! Haha... Nangong Chu is really powerful. You are a prince from Dayue, but you are like me, Tianqi." What a stir-up! Even so early, he quietly arranged for people to enter the palace, and even walked all the way to Emperor Zong Yuan to serve as a food taster."

"This Han Xiao is not only the person who secretly contacted Nangong Chu and Emperor Mingxi, but also secretly contacted Eunuch Cao. Ha... Nangong Chu, you really make the best use of everything." Jiang Mu angrily said: "Your Highness, So, maybe Nangong Chu knew about the Queen Mother’s poisoning back then. My lord, could it be that Nangong Chu ordered Eunuch Cao to do it? "

Prince Gong Murong'an had murderous intent in his eyes and shouted angrily: "Yue'er never paid attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, and poisoning Yue'er has no direct benefit to Nangong Chu. The only possibility is that he is doing it for others. .”

"This other person cannot be Emperor Zong Yuan! How many years did it take Nangong Chu to bury this chess piece, and he also walked all the way to Emperor Zong Yuan and became such a close person, how could he let Emperor Zong Yuan know about it."

"Moreover, Eunuch Cao fell into the water and died half a year after the New Year's banquet in Zongyuan's tenth year. During these six months, he was still responsible for Emperor Zongyuan's food tasting. If Emperor Zongyuan knew that he was from Nangong Chu, even if he didn't kill him, I will never leave him in such a close position!"

"Then who else could this other person be?"

"Heh... The final winner of the four sons' inheritance is right there now. Who else can it be besides Emperor Mingxi!"

"How could Nangong Chu expose such an important chess piece so easily? The only possibility is that there are greater benefits! That is the blood jade!"

Jiang Mu understood instantly and exclaimed: "At that time, Emperor Mingxi had not yet ascended the throne, and was just an unknown sixth prince. Therefore, in order to obtain the blood jade from the sixth prince, Nangong Chu helped him remove obstacles along the way and ascend to the throne! This includes poisoning the Queen Mother!"

Prince Gong Murong An shook his head: "No, Jiang Mu, you are wrong. Murong Xuan has never been unknown, he has hidden it too deeply!"

"The Sixth Prince that the world sees is gentle and quiet, haha... This is just a disguise for him to hide himself!"

"Because his wings are not yet full and the throne is still hanging in the balance, he has to disguise himself!"

"It wasn't until the 14th year of Zongyuan, when Emperor Zongyuan's health began to fail, that the fight for the right to inherit the throne really began. Only then did he take off this disguise and start openly participating in the fight for the right to inherit the rightful son!"

"No, that's not right. At that time, although Murong Xuan began to participate in the fight for heir apparent, he had not really taken off the disguise. In the eyes of the people, he was still the sixth prince who was as gentle as jade and benevolent."

"Jiang Mu, don't forget that Miss Xiao was still helping him at that time. Murong Xuan had no support from his mother's clan. Without Miss Xiao's secret help and the backing of Wu'an Hou Mansion, It’s not easy for Murong Xuan to stand out from all the princes!”

Jiang Mu understood instantly: "Your Majesty is right. But it happened that the Queen Mother was pregnant at that time, and she was her legitimate son. And although the Queen Mother's mother's family has tempered its edge, the shadow of its former fame is still there."

"If this legitimate son came out, how many people would be jealous! There must have been a lot of people who were eyeing this legitimate son back then."

"That's right." Prince Gong Murong An shouted angrily: "And Murong Xuan has been secretly planning for the throne for a long time. Naturally, he cannot let this legitimate son come out."

"Perhaps Murong Xuan was waiting for others to take action, but at that time Yue'er had already started to guard against the people in the palace. Murong Xuan couldn't wait for others to take action, so he could only take action himself. And that New Year's Eve The banquet is the best opportunity for him to take action."

"If Yue'er is miscarried in other ways, it will be easily detected. Then he will no longer be able to hide it, and he is more likely to lose himself."

"So, he got this medicine from Ye Qing! It silently caused the fetus to develop abnormally and become an idiot!"

"If Doctor Liu hadn't come to the palace to diagnose his pulse and discovered all of Murong Xuan's plans, he would have been able to eliminate the biggest rival to the throne quietly!"

Jiang Mu's face was full of shock and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty, Murong Xuan was only a teenager at that time, and he was already so thoughtful and conspired so much!"

Suddenly, Prince Gong Murong An thought of something!His face became darker and he shouted angrily: "No, Jiang Mu, it's not just that Murong Xuan chose to poison the child in such a covert way, not to cause Yue'er to miscarry, nor to let Yue'er die directly. In addition to not exposing himself so easily, There is a more important point!”

Hearing this, Jiang Mu was immediately confused: "What's more important? Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Prince Gong chuckled softly and said: "Because Yue'er has a weak temperament, and she never pays attention to the affairs of the previous dynasty, but she has a highly popular mother clan. There is such a person in the middle palace, and Murong Xuan For me, it couldn’t be better.”

"Those women in the harem back then were not easy to get along with, and the second prince's biological mother, Concubine Wang, was even more noble."

"If this queen dies and Emperor Zong Yuan appoints a new queen, whether she is promoted from the harem or appoints a new queen, I am afraid that the battle for the right to inherit the throne will not be the same as it was back then!"

"That's why he kept Yue'er, a queen with a pair of idiots, to avoid bigger changes. After he ascended the throne, the Queen Mother would still be in charge of Tianqi's harem, which would affect his reputation. But it’s better!”

"So, after the battle for the fourth son's inheritance, the second prince, the third prince, the seventh prince and their respective biological mothers all died for various reasons."

"But Emperor Mingxi did not touch Yue'er, because Yue'er has always stayed quietly in the imperial garden, no threat to him, and because Murong Xuan only ascended the throne, she needs the Queen Mother to be there."

"It's not that he doesn't want to move, it's that he is still waiting, waiting for his throne to be secure before taking action!"

"To completely cover up the poisoning that year, if all those involved are gone, then no one will mention it again! So, Murong Xuan is waiting!"

Jiang Mu understood instantly and exclaimed: "So that's how it is, it's terrible! Murong Xuan was only a teenager at that time, and he already had such leverage!"

At this moment, Prince Gong could not contain his anger and shouted angrily: "Jiang Mu, has Uncle Yun sent a message to Shiyi about this matter?"

Jiang Mu hurriedly replied: "Yes, Prince, don't worry. Uncle Yun was shocked when he found out it was Prince Qi's person, so he hurriedly sent a message to the Eleventh Prince."

Prince Gong smiled and shouted: "Very good. How did this happen back then? Only Nangong Chu, Murong Xuan, and Ye Qing knew about it. Now these three people are over there in the north, and they have to pay for it. It’s much more convenient to have something come out.”

"Jiang Mu, send a message to Eleven, saying that I want to know the truth about that year and let Eleven think of a solution."

Jiang Mu hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will go and deliver the message immediately."

Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to send a message to Prince Yu about this?"

Prince Gong shook his head: "No, the fourth brother is still in the imperial mausoleum. Now because of the sacrifices, there are more courtiers coming in and out of the imperial mausoleum. The people of Emperor Mingxi are watching, and they will alert the snake if they are not careful."

"Let's wait until fourth brother leaves the imperial mausoleum. We must not mess up our position now. Everything is going according to plan. We must not make mistakes at this time."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." Jiang Mu hurriedly took the order and left.

Behind the desk, Prince Gong sat quietly, his face dark, his eyes filled with murderous intent. After a long time, he said coldly: "Murong Xuan, this king not only wants to pull you down from the position of emperor, but also You will be infamous and have no place to live in from now on!"
