"It must have been the request of Concubine De. He thought it didn't matter. He had nothing to do, so he took over the concubine to pass the time."

He twitched his lips in disbelief, "I've only seen it in books before, and this is the first time I've seen it alive. Such people act without reason, without a sense of responsibility, and commit violent acts. There must be some inside story that we don't know. , we can just take advantage of it.”

Seeing the glint in Yiman's eyes, the prince smiled slightly, "I told Zhou Yu today."

Yiman stopped talking and turned to look at the prince with question marks on his face.

"Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?"

The prince looked at Yiman with a smile, "I've been thinking about this issue since the last time we got married. You have to find someone who can take care of you. I think it's not impossible for Zhou Yu to be a face-sitter."

The Zhou family is a top-notch family alongside the Cui family, and Zhou Yu is a direct descendant of the Zhou family and the leader of this generation. How can such a person be placed in such a shameful position?

Did you even talk to Zhou Yu?

Yiman's expression suddenly became distorted, "Brother Huang, do you know who Zhou Yu is, right?"

"I know, he is probably the future patriarch of the Zhou family."

"You asked him directly?"

"asked."

Yiman opened his mouth, closed it again, and sighed, "Brother Emperor, if you really can't do it, don't leave the palace in the future. He has three thousand disciples under his command. If you humiliate him like this, I'm afraid he will find someone to assassinate you."

The prince smiled slightly, "I asked him, don't you want to hear his answer?"

Seeing that the prince was serious, Yiman put down his pen and looked directly at the prince, "Brother, I don't think it is necessary to get married. I am fine by myself. I am helping you now so that I can follow my own wishes in the future. , standing at the pinnacle of power, living wantonly."

"What if you meet the man you like?"

Yiman thought about it seriously, "Then I will have the choice of letting him be the consort or the consort."

The prince pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay."

"Princess, after checking the accounts for so long, it's strange that the seventh prince's accounts are really clean, as if he has no desires or demands."

Yiman sighed and rubbed his eyes, "People have desires, even if they have weird personalities."

"There is no need for purchases in the royal palace. Apart from his salary and rewards, there is almost no income or expenditure in his account."

Then his desire must be expressed elsewhere.

Yiman stretched his stiff neck and looked at the account books on the floor and Lu Bo who was slumped on the ground. "Okay, hurry up and send it back to the East Palace before anyone finds it."

"Yes."

"What's going on outside the palace now? Are there many people in the palace who step on the Duan family?"

Lu Bo got up from the account books that were all over the floor, "Not many. After all, the Duan family has a profound background. Except for the ministers who come from a poor family and have nothing to worry about, there are almost no impeachments."

Although they haven't been exposed yet, how could the wolves around them give up? The Duan family, who might turn into fat meat at any time, is just trying to catch the rabbit.

Today, major aristocratic families are still expanding their strength to cope with the emperor's new policy.

Yiman snorted coldly, "Then let's give him another push."

Only by letting the Duan family take care of themselves can the seventh prince be exposed naked.

"What does the princess mean?"

"Find some desperadoes who are not afraid of death and pretend to be the families of those girls to beat the news." Lu Bo's feet softened and he almost tripped. He looked at Yiman tremblingly, "Princess, this is the story of Dengwen." Drums are no small matter, aren’t they?”

Yiman sneered, "Forging a witness is also a capital crime."

"Princess--"

"Give them more money, no matter whether they can produce evidence or not, as long as they beat the drum and explain the matter clearly, it will be enough. Now the emperor, the prince, the prince, the Qingliu minister, and some aristocratic families are all staring at the Duan family This piece of carrion. The bigger the fuss becomes, the more evidence they will be able to dig out. We are just giving them an opportunity."

"But princess, what if those desperadoes are caught and questioned?"

"It's enough to make it clear that the Duan family kidnapped good girls in their ancestral land and were corrupt. After beating the drum and rolling the nail board, they are already weak. So we need to find some volunteers and give them more money."

Looking at the princess with a cold light in her eyes, Lu Bo's heart tightened, he swallowed and nodded nervously.

"Yes, servant girl understands."

Early the next morning, when the emperor and his ministers were still attending court in the Zichen Hall, they heard the heavy and distant sound of drums.

Eunuch Fu glanced outside and lowered his head silently, pretending not to hear.

The emperor's heart tightened and his brows gradually furrowed. Looking at the ministers in the palace who lowered their heads and pretended to be dead, he knew he had heard correctly.

"Who is beating the Dengwen drum?"

Outside the palace, a carriage stopped not far from the palace entrance. Yiman sat in the carriage and looked out through the gap in the curtain.

There were about ten people at the gate of the palace, dressed in rags and poor, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing. There was only one leader, who stood under the dusty drum and swung the drumstick with all his strength.

Yiman took a look and frowned slightly, "Are they all desperadoes who paid to find them?"

"Two of them were really persecuted by the Duan family and fled to the capital. After careful questioning, I found out that one's youngest son was beaten to death by the young master of the Duan family, and the other's wife and daughter were all robbed to the Duan family. . The servants have explained everything carefully and clearly, and will follow the instructions taught by the princess."

He let out a silent sigh, bullying men and women like this, committing all kinds of evil, and the charges will only increase.The Duan family deserves to fall together.

A group of guards came out of the palace gate and stopped a dozen people who were beating the drums.

Seeing more and more people gathering together, Yiman lowered the curtain and asked, "Have everything been explained?"

Lu Bo nodded, "My servant just told the student from Jiang Lu that scholars and scholars should be more involved in the world and understand the sufferings of the people. She didn't say anything else."

Jiang Lu is a man of many tricks and has the courage to fight.When you hear the news here in Denwengu, you know what to do.

As long as the literati and students pay attention, the people will also be aroused.At this moment, the court was discussing, and the Duan family master could not receive any news. Any assistance would definitely be caught off guard.

As long as he is forced to prove his innocence, there are plenty of people in the court who can dig up evidence.

Duan Ruhai, who is now hiding, could fill a page with his crimes.

North Korea
When the emperor heard the news from the imperial guards, he looked at Master Duan who was standing on one side with a livid face, wishing he could chop him alive.

Since ancient times, those who have been beaten are those who failed to manage the government well and forced the people to complain. This was regarded as a slap in the emperor's face.

The people were already overwhelmed by the aristocratic family's torment, and the trouble in the capital was actually made public.The emperor also became angry at the kind of people who beat the drum to complain.

Arrangements are already being made to promote the New Deal, so why don’t we wait while these unscrupulous people are so anxious?
"Duan Aiqing, what did you say?"

Master Duan knelt on the ground with his hands folded, "Your Majesty, the Duan family has a great business, and there may be people who deceive the superiors and conceal the truth from the subordinates. But they will never commit crimes such as rape, humiliation, and robbery. What's more, what the unscrupulous people outside said is definitely a false accusation. Please be careful, Your Majesty." .”

The censor glanced at Zuo Qinglu, nodded, and took a step forward, "Mr. Duan, there was a rumor in the capital a few days ago that Duan Ruhai, the number one scholar in the Jin Dynasty, together with the seventh prince, kidnapped and sold young girls, used people as spittoons, acted rampantly, and had an extravagant style. How did he, who has not yet become an official, get so much gold and silver power? Could it be that he is not the majesty of Lord Duan, but also the Seventh Prince?"
