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

Chapter 73 It’s all about playing tricks

The party of Zhen Guogong, Wang Taifu and the prince originally had the most power in the court, but the emperor wanted to suppress the prince's party. It was only then that he and Gu Tai were cultivated to form a court situation that could compete with the princelings.

Now that the prince and his party are dead, Queen Qian is in the cold palace.

His daughter, Concubine Xi, was in charge of the Sixth Palace, and his grandson, the second prince, became the eldest son of Emperor Mingde. Next, the emperor only needs to appoint his daughter Xifei as the new queen. The second prince is the eldest son who speaks the truth.

The commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army is Gu Tai's man. Gu Taiming is the emperor's man, and the emperor trusts him the most.

However, Prime Minister Zuo knew that Gu Tai had a very close relationship with Concubine Li in the harem and had been secretly supporting the third prince.

The prince has passed away, and the battle for the prince's inheritance is imminent.

He must not give Gu Tai and the third prince a chance to become powerful and become his grandson's rival.

"What the Prime Minister Zuo said is absolutely true. My imperial army is really useless. If the enemy robbed yesterday it was not the treasuries of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If they had stolen my head, I am afraid that I will not be able to see all my ministers today."

What does the emperor mean by this?

All the ministers bowed their heads and did not dare to come forward to reply.

After all, the court is now in shock, and officials related to the prince have been imprisoned and exiled. So many seats are available.

The Duke of Zhenguo is the head of the military commanders, and the Wang Taifu is the head of the civil servants. Both seats became vacant overnight.

Will Gu Taiwei and Zuo Xiang sit in those two seats as they wish?

And how should they stand in line next to benefit themselves? Or is it better for you not to take sides?

All the ministers were panicked for a moment!

"I'm guilty! No thief was caught, and no suspicious traces were found. It's just——"

Ji Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, strode into the hall and knelt down before the Holy Spirit. There was something in the wooden tray held by his hands, and he looked troubled.

Report this thing, he always felt that it looked familiar and felt a little uneasy. Don't take revenge, he can't bear the crime of deceiving the emperor.

"No suspicious traces found?"

Qian Yinge, who had always been silent, raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor, then looked at Ji Wei dissatisfied.

"What are you talking about, Commander-in-Chief? Not to mention that the tens of thousands of sets of top-grade armors and refined weapons in the Armed Forces are all gone. It's just that the basins, pots, chopping boards and stoves in our imperial kitchen are all gone. There really isn’t even a trace?”

pot? pot? Chopping board stove?

All the ministers were shocked.

What kind of thief is this?

"This is?"

Qianyin Pavilion was the best at observing faces and could best understand Emperor Mingde's thoughts. Seeing Emperor Ming De's eyes fall on the thing in Ji Wei's hand, his expression was strange. He hurriedly stepped forward, took the tray from Ji Wei's hand, and held it in front of Emperor Mingde.

"Long live Lord, look at this - eh -"

Mom, these are clearly a pair of big flower pants!

"Bold Ji Wei! You despise the emperor's power and present such a dirty thing to stain the eyes of the Holy Emperor."

Qianyin Ge's face sank, he flicked his whisk and gave a sharp shout.

Overnight, under the noses of so many domestic experts, everything in the Treasury of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was quietly stolen. One hundred thousand forbidden troops could not find any useful clues. Do you dare to leave any dirty things behind?

All the ministers were extremely curious and secretly took a look at the contents of the tray.

The minister who was closer to Dan Chi recognized the thing at a glance as a pair of large flowered pants.

His eyes immediately shook, he couldn't believe it. They looked at each other and exchanged glances, and they both saw the same shock as their own in the other's eyes.

That thing is really a pair of flowery pants.

From the looks of it, it's still a pair of men's flowery underpants.

Unexpectedly, the emperor was okay with this.

(No wonder the ministers thought it belonged to the emperor. You must know that in this inner palace, there is no real man except the emperor. The eunuchs’ underwear is all custom-made. Besides the emperor, which man would dare to wear this kind of underwear in the palace? Big flower pants.)

Dog eunuch, didn’t you show this to the emperor with your own hands? As soon as he turned around, he said that I had stained the eyes of His Majesty.

Ji Wei secretly scolded Qianyin Pavilion for being such a dog, but he didn't dare to say it openly. As the commander-in-chief, he commanded a hundred thousand imperial troops to guard the imperial city. As a result, all the major warehouses of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were stolen overnight. But he didn't even touch the shadow of a thief. Even if the emperor chopped off his head in anger, it would be a minor blow. Ji Wei’s head touched the ground,

"I led the troops to search the palace, but there was nothing strange. Only this thing does not belong to the palace, but it hangs high above -"

Ji Wei paused for a moment, knowing that what he said next would arouse even greater anger from the emperor. But he had to say it, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only touch his head to the ground again,

"I am guilty, I am guilty!"

"Is this thing hanging high in the palace?"

Even Qianyin Pavilion's expression changed.

A pair of flowery pants for a foreigner, hanging high in the palace? Throughout all dynasties, there has been no such scandal.

Qianyin Pavilion is the eunuch in charge of the inner palace. Emperor Mingde's personal eunuch. Others will mistakenly think that these flowery pants belong to the emperor. Qianyin Pavilion will not misunderstand. After all, every thread on the emperor's body has to pass through his hands.

"Hang where?"

Emperor Mingde also saw what it was at this time.

There was a dark light in his eyes.

"On the plaque of Zhengde Hall!"

Ah!

The faces of the ministers had different colors, and they quickly lowered their heads.

That thief was too much of a thief, so he just stole so many treasures. Why did he even steal the emperor's flowery pants? Just steal it and hang it out for people to see. Tsk tsk, the emperor must be so angry that he will vomit blood.

The emperor was furious and laid down millions of corpses.

All the ministers fell to the ground and did not dare to breathe out.

"Summon Gu Tai quickly!"

These four words were pronounced exactly the same by Emperor Mingde.

Others didn't know it, but Emperor Mingde recognized it at a glance.

Only one person in the entire Qi Dynasty has these large flower pants. That was his childhood friend and confidant Gu Tai.

Gu Tai came to the palace last night, but why did his flowery pants appear in the palace?

There was no way a thief could just take off something so close to his body.

Unless he took it off himself and the thief stole it.

At this time, Emperor Mingde did not consider why the thief was so bored and stole such a useless thing.

What Emperor Mingde was thinking was, under what circumstances did Gu Tai take off this thing, and where did he take it off?

(Our suspicious Emperor Mingde is online again)

"Summon Sir Gu, summon Sir Gu quickly!"

Qianyin Pavilion saw that the emperor's face changed again and again, and quickly asked Xiao Huangmen to go to Xuanhuang to give his speech.

"I am reporting to your Majesty to go to the northwest to provide relief, and then transport military supplies and pay all the way to Yancheng to show my great power. The journey is long and difficult."

The left minister took another step forward,

"What's more, when I leave, I will also represent our Daqi Dynasty as an imperial envoy to discuss mutual trade with the envoys from Northern Xinjiang. It will take more than half a year to come and go. The wedding of the third prince is approaching, but it is difficult to make the trip."

"What the Prime Minister Zuo said, the old minister seconded."

An old civil servant came forward,

"Relieving disasters in the northwest, taking over Yancheng's defense, and negotiating with each other are all not a day's work. The third prince is a noble person, and he has been away for a long time. The risks are extremely high. Only mistakes can shake the country. I suggest that two more ministers, one civil and one military, be sent. Let’s go together to send military rations to show our majesty and establish mutual trust to calm the people’s hearts.”
