"Your Majesty, I haven't finished speaking yet."

The emperor slapped the table hard twice, "If there's anything else, tell me."

Chu Nan swallowed, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Sir Duan borrowed the Qi family's merchant ship to transport goods to Beijing, which caused the salt ship to sink. Your Majesty must not have known what the Duan family was transporting."

Chu Nan gritted his teeth and said, "It's iron stone."

iron stone?

The government and the public were suddenly in an uproar. Tieshi was able to make armor and weapons, and his intention to make weapons privately could not be more obvious.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Duan intends to rebel. He actually planned it more than ten years ago. He is so audacious that it is difficult to describe. I would like to ask Your Majesty to wipe out the Duan family so as not to shake the country."

Immediately some old ministers came out to cry and curse, and then Yanguan Yushi joined in. In the end, almost all civil servants were dismissed.

The emperor was shocked and angry at first, but now he looked at the officials who were like jumping masters and accused the Duan family, his face turned blue, and he wished he could cut the Duan family into pieces.

Master Duan frequently looked out of the corner of his eye. He never expected that the prince's people would attack him as soon as they came to court, without even saying hello.

But none of the people or things he prepared arrived.If he was talking without proof and pulled out the eldest princess at this time, he would definitely be considered as taking revenge for personal gain.Without evidence, the crime may be increased.

Master Duan's heart almost jumped into his throat, but he could only lower his head and bear the anger.

At this time, outside Hanyuan Hall, the prince's guards surrounded Hanyuan Hall and controlled it.

The remaining guards of the East Palace escorted the evidence and witnesses found by Master Duan directly back to the East Palace.

Bai Yi and Zhi Ge pinned Commander Bai of Su Wei in Baoxia. The secret guards of the East Palace blocked the emperor's secret guards one on one.

Commander Bai had his arms twisted and looked at Bai Yi bitterly, "Bai Yi, don't think that I can't recognize you just because you cover your face. Let me go. You are treason and deceiving me."

Bai Yi said five words expressionlessly, "You have no evidence."

"you--"

In the court, the anger was already overwhelming.

The ministers in the court were like a flood of water, but Mr. Duan was like a small flame, which was immediately annihilated.

Master Duan was thinking fast. Seeing that there was no sound outside the palace door, he gritted his teeth and straightened up, "Your Majesty, I want to sue the eldest princess——"

"Your Majesty, my son has something to announce."

The prince, who had not spoken a word for ten thousand years, suddenly stood up and saluted.

Although the emperor did not like to see his frail and sick son, he was excellent after all. If he were not frail, he would be considered a good prince.

Seeing that it was rare for him to speak in the court at this moment, he temporarily suppressed his overwhelming anger towards the Duan family and raised his hand, "Speak."

The prince finished his salute politely and said, "Your Majesty, when I went to court, I heard that Mr. Hua, the Minister of Punishment, had something to say, and it seems to be related to the Duan family."

Is there anything else going on with the Duan family?
The emperor looked at Master Duan as if he were looking at a corpse.

Hua Xiang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I have something to report."

The emperor held his forehead with a headache, fearing that something bad would happen to the Duan family again, "You tell me."

"Weichen used to work in the Ministry of Industry. A few days ago, some of his former colleagues came to ask questions. Weichen discovered that-"

"Say--"

Hua Xiang suddenly knelt down, "Wei Chen discovered that there was a problem with the Hezhou Weir built the year before last. The Duan family used many of their children to guard official positions, exploited people at all levels, and accepted bribes, which made the Hezhou Weir construction unfavorable. Wei Chen calculated and asked last night, Hezhou Weir this year It’s already overburdened and will have to be renovated next year.”

There was a crash, and the ministers quickly knelt down as they looked at the memorial teacup that had been pushed to the ground by the emperor.

"You - you -" Seeing that the emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak, Hua Xiang kowtowed quickly, "Wei Chen, as the person in charge of Hezhou Weir, has an unpardonable crime. But the Shi family, together with the governor of Hezhou, sent Wei Chen to With no power, Wei Chen could only write and draw in his room, and with pressure from the Duan family, Wei Chen could not do anything.

Wei Chen knew that he was guilty and had already checked out the list of people who had been bribed by the Duan family in the Ministry of Industry of the Central Committee of the CPC. Thanks to Wei Chen's sincere advice, most of the people above him were willing to testify and asked for your Majesty's clear judgment. "

"Death, I want you to die. The Duan family will kill the nine clans and kill the nine clans."

The emperor pointed at the hatred on Mr. Duan's face, and his face turned blue, as if he was about to pass away.

Eunuch Fu quickly stepped forward to comfort him, looking anxious.

The emperor could tolerate corruption and bribery for the time being, but a rebellion and a Hezhou weir were matters directly related to the country and the country, and had already touched the emperor's objections.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to quickly interrogate the whereabouts of those iron stones?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the incident happened more than ten years ago. Maybe the Duan family has already formed a group of troops now."

"His Majesty."

In the eldest princess's house, Yiman closed the door, walked to Zhou Yu and sat down.

"You haven't slept for two days. Now that everything has been arranged, go to sleep."

Yiman shook his head slightly, "Brother Huang hasn't sent me a message yet, so I'll take this opportunity to tell you something clearly."

Zhou Yu poured a cup of tea for Yiman to refresh himself.

Yiman slowly came closer, his face getting closer and closer, staring into Zhou Yu's eyes, "When did you fall in love with me?"

Zhou Yu's eyes became crooked, the tips of his ears turned red, and suddenly warm jade smoke appeared in front of his eyes.

Yiman was bewitched by the appearance in front of him and swallowed, "Stop, don't laugh."

Zhou Yu's smile slowly retracted, but the twinkling smile in his eyes remained unchanged.

Yiman held his forehead and sighed. Will looking at his face from close range often make him faint?
"What are your plans for the Zhou family?"

Regardless of whether it is the emperor, the prince, or her, the trend of suppressing the aristocratic family will not change.

Although they did not agree with some of the policies of Emperor Chunke's New Deal, the Duan family had already entangled a group of second-rate aristocratic families in making trouble, and the results were obvious and did not cause much trouble.

The Cui family and the Zhou family have always been the leaders of the Daling family, and the future trend will inevitably be reflected in the two families.

Zhou Yu's smile gradually dissipated and turned into a warm jade stone, "The innocent people of the Zhou family will be returned to your fiefdom and become a local aristocratic family."

There was worry in Yiman's eyes. The key was whether the Zhou family could retreat from the rapids in the capital.

The emperor would definitely not believe that the Zhou family sincerely wanted to settle down. If there was a conflict with the Zhou family, the prince would be the first to rush forward.

Yiman smiled and said, "I do have a good idea, but I don't know if it goes against your plan."

Zhou Yu's eyes seemed to have water flowing through them, softer than he had ever seen before.

"The Zhou family assisted the emperor brother and me to evade the emperor's power, and then the Zhou family retreated in peace."

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he suddenly nodded with a smile, "Okay."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "Don't you think about it?"

"Following the dragon's merits will be beneficial to the Zhou family."

Yiman poured Zhou Yu a cup of tea, picked up his own cup and clinked it, "Then it's settled, Mr. Zhou?"

"Okay." (End of this chapter)
