My whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts, and I won money on the road to exile.

Half an hour later, in the Zhengtai Hall of the emperor's palace, the screen retreated to the left and right, with only the monarch and his ministers. The emperor looked at Gu Tai, frowning,

"We are the only two people here, Gu Tai, what do you think?"

"The biggest thing the disappeared mansions have in common is that most of them were the mansions of exiled officials."

"I am the son of heaven, and I don't believe in those theories about strange powers and chaos. But if there are any strange phenomena, they must be done behind the scenes by people with different intentions. I also feel that the matter in the imperial city is inseparable from the Su and Wang families. "

Emperor Mingde looked at Gu Tai, their eyes facing each other. They both felt that this matter was inextricably linked to the Su family. But if we really wanted to say it was the Su and Wang families, we couldn't find any useful clues.

"Other families have lost their belongings, and there is nothing wrong with their mansions. Only our Gu Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion have disappeared."

"and this!"

Emperor Mingde took off the dragon crown and pulled off his wig, revealing a bald head in Gu Tai's shocked eyes.

Gu Tai felt hot in his heart and fell to his knees in front of Emperor Mingde, holding his thigh and crying.

"The emperor's love for his ministers will never be forgotten until his death."

"Gu Laosan, before I ascended the throne, you and I, the three brothers, have been together for many years, but now I feel very lonely. If there is anyone in the world who can comfort me, it is you, Lao San."

"Your Majesty, Song Laoer—"

For a moment, Gu Tai really wanted to say that he suspected that when Su Chengyi married Song Jinhe, Song Jinhe's pregnant son Su Zhenbei might be the emperor's dragon seed.

But just for a moment, he bit his lip again and forced to swallow these words.

The emperor is the emperor, he can kill his father and his son, so how can we talk about the righteousness between the emperor and his ministers?

Hearing Gu Tai mention Su Chengyi, the emperor couldn't help but think of the time when the three of them traveled together in the world before he ascended the throne. But I just thought about it, and then said with a sinister look,

"Gu Tai, send someone to follow. After arriving at Xiangqiao, get the Su family's army token. Directly destroy the entire Su family. No one will be left alive."

Overnight, so many incredible things happened in the imperial city. Everything points to the Su and Wang families. I just can't find any clues.

If you can't find it, just look for it, and simply don't want to guess anymore. The way to make people feel at ease is to simply let the person who makes you feel uneasy disappear.

"There is also something about the Prime Minister's Mansion. Is there something I don't know whether to say or not?"

"speak!"

"I just ordered my subordinates to secretly investigate the theft of the Prime Minister's ancestral hall. I found that they seemed to have lost a batch of food."

food?

Emperor Mingde narrowed his eyes.

The prime minister lost food and didn't report it to the official?

What is the connection between food and the theft of ancestral halls?

If there is plenty of food, what does the prime minister want to do?

Everything is self-evident.

"If the Prime Minister doesn't report it, does Zhaowei still want to investigate?"

"If you don't check, the Prime Minister has the world in mind and the people in his heart. I asked him to go south to provide disaster relief, which naturally wins his heart the most."

Emperor Mingde sneered.

The prime minister conspired with him and Gu Tai to create the East Palace Case, killing the prince and destroying the Su and Wang families. Then what? Since the prince is gone, naturally all the princes will focus on the prince's position. Where is the Prime Minister? He has made so much secretly over the years that his wealth is probably more than the national treasury. Not only that, he was also thinking about food.

This is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone on the road knows it.

Since the prime minister cares about the world so much, he wants to be the master of the people in the world. Then, let him go to disaster relief and serve the people.

Otherwise, how could he be worthy of the things he had spent so much time planning over the years?

"Leave all disappearance cases to Zhaowei. Send people to investigate secretly. Since the thief has stolen so many things, he has to use them. As long as he uses them, sooner or later he will be found."

The monarch and his ministers talked secretly for a while.

Gu Tai bid farewell and was going to see the third prince off to Northern Xinjiang.

As soon as Gu Tai left, the Queen Mother and her entourage arrived at the Zhengtai Hall. "Your Majesty, you cannot harm King Yan like this."

The Queen Mother frowned and sat in the upper position,

"No one can cure the plague, and King Yan will definitely die if he goes there. Your Majesty, the late emperor left a legacy, and you cannot kill King Yan."

The Queen Mother looked at her son. In the past ten years since he ascended the throne, she really could not understand him more and more.

"King Yan is not of the former emperor's blood. The former emperor left King Yan behind, which is the biggest life-saving talisman for our royal family. King Yan must not die in the Eastern Expedition."

Emperor Mingde raised his eyes and looked at his mother, and sneered in his heart: Are you my mother or King Yan's mother?

"Mother, if King Yan doesn't go to the east to conquer, I will go and do it myself, okay?"

The Queen Mother's expression immediately changed.

"Is it true that the Great Qi court has no other generals available except King Yan?"

Alas, my lord, you are so confused. The Duke of Zhenguo has such loyal ministers and good generals, so why do you have to kill them all?

When your father was here, our Daqi was so mighty and majestic. Is it now that there are no generals available?

"The King of Yan is marching eastward, the prime minister is touring the south for disaster relief, the third prince is heading to the northern border, and the second prince is repairing the imperial mausoleum. Queen mother, do you think I have arranged this?"

The Queen Mother was startled and looked up at the expressionless Emperor Mingde. I felt sad.

Did the emperor think her harem was interfering in politics?

"Otherwise, the queen mother still feels that it is not feasible to conquer King Yan in the east. Would it be better for me to conquer it myself?"

This question was a bit aggressive.

No matter how many thoughts the Queen Mother had, she could only swallow them at this time.

Yes, after all, the emperor has been on the throne for ten years, and he is no longer the mediocre prince who relied on his maternal relatives to ascend to power.

"Your Majesty, you are my biological son. Your mother will naturally choose you between Prince Yan and you."

The Queen Mother sighed,

"It would be better for King Yan to go to the Eastern Expedition. This man's life and death will depend on his fate."

The Queen Mother sighed and returned to the palace.

As soon as she returned to the palace, the Queen Mother immediately sent a confidant eunuch to chase King Yan with a box.

In the box, she put a life-saving pill.

That was the birthday gift given to her by Master Guiyi when the late emperor was still alive.

The Queen Mother asked her confidant eunuch to deliver life-saving pills to King Yan, and told the eunuch that it was impossible for King Yan to say anything, especially the plague, which must not be mentioned in front of King Yan.

The Queen Mother only asked the eunuch to bring a message to King Yan: King Yan is the only one in Da Qi who can fight. For the sake of the country and the people, please ask King Yan to save his life first no matter what the situation.

Not to mention the harem, as soon as King Yan returned to the palace, he immediately wrote novels about Yan,

"Get the status of exiles for these two adults, and send them immediately to Zhou Fu'an. Tell him that these two people were sent by the Right Prime Minister to secretly protect Chu Mingyang."

Yan Xin secretly cursed: He is using the guise of right prime minister again. I saw with my own eyes that when you went to court just now, you threatened the right minister again. That Chu Mingyang is really useful.

The two imperial doctors next to them had grim expressions on their faces, but they dared not speak in anger. I cried in my heart and said: King Yan, are you really a dog? You threaten us with our family members and force us to follow you to treat Mr. Xiao Guo's health. But, can you give us the identity of an official? Why do you have to give us the status of an exiled prisoner?

Yan Xing, who was next to him, also felt bitter: Alas, I just sent away a ghost doctor, and now I have to send two imperial doctors away. Master, do you really think he keeps everything secret? He simply wanted to announce to the whole world that he was determined to protect Su Zhenbei, and anyone who dared to touch Su Zhenbei would have trouble with him.

Master, you are at odds with the emperor.

Master, you really think you have a long life!
