Chapter 455 The King's Heart
After sitting alone for a while, he finally called Su Yan over, and put the stack of deeds in the envelope into an envelope and gave it to him: "Together with the two pots of peonies brought back from the imperial garden, take it to the girl."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Su Yan couldn't help but smile: "Just let Wu Teng go back, what is this?"

"The Zhang family's two properties in the southern suburbs back then."

He raised his fan conveniently: "I begged the emperor for Han Dun's body. He borrowed me from the Falcon Camp to teach the first two months to train the palace guards. I took this opportunity to beg for it."

The Han family obtained countless belongings from the Zhang family, and it may not be impossible to recover them after careful investigation, but it is easy to cause speculation. It is considered good to be able to get a few houses where the Zhang family lived.

Su Yan understood, looked at the land deed, but asked: "Why does the emperor use the coach to train the guards?"

The guard battalion in the palace is also managed by Liang Xiu. Liang Xiu has made great contributions to the Li family in the past. He is not only loyal and trustworthy, but also top-notch. It is impossible to fail to train such an important guard.

Xiao Huai smiled slightly, and said half a day later: "It's just an excuse to get close to Prince Yan's mansion.

"This kid is very smart, and his mind is rare, so he won't make things difficult for us, but he must have other intentions in doing this, let's just watch."

He looked ahead and stopped his fan.

Su Yan nodded and went out.

Qi Rui waited here for Xiao Huai to leave the palace, stood in the moonlight under the corridor for a while, then turned around and went to the Palace of Compassion.

The lights were on in the Compassionate Ning Palace, when the palace servants saw him coming, they immediately bowed to report, Qi Rui waved his hand to stop him, and when he walked to the threshold, Zhou Fu'an had already heard the news and came out in a hurry.

Empress Dowager Zheng was leaning on the jade mat, her makeup was not applied, and her long hair was loose. She was supposed to be in a trance, but when she heard the movement at the door, she suddenly turned her gaze over and became sharp: "The emperor is finally willing to come!"

Qi Rui went in first and saluted under the couch, then sat down on the embroidered pier, and said humbly: "I have a lot of miscellaneous things these days, it's my fault that I didn't come to pay my respects to my mother.

"So I came here to plead guilty, and I also asked my mother to forgive me."

Empress Dowager Zheng twisted her brows and eyes, gritted her teeth for a long time and said: "The emperor's wings are hardened, and he joined hands with Xiao's father and son to deal with his own mother without telling me. This method even I look up to. Now that you are under house arrest here, how dare I let it down on you?" you?"

Qi Rui didn't make a sound, just sat with his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart.

Empress Dowager Zheng became more and more angry, and angrily slapped the table: "You are so brave!

"Although Han Dun is not tolerated by you, he is thinking about our mother and son. The Xiao family father and son are ambitious, ten times more vicious and dangerous than Han Dun!
"You dragged Xiao's father and son in to destroy a Han family, what's the difference from bringing wolves into the house?!"

Qi Rui raised his head, the young man's handsome face was still calm: "I don't know why the mother thinks that the Xiao family father and son will definitely take my throne?"

Empress Dowager Zheng choked and clenched her teeth.

"In the old days when the state was established, the merits of the father and Uncle Yan were determined, and there were still many veterans in the court, and the father died only three or four years ago.

"Prince Yan's mansion has all the honor and favor of the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will share the world equally with the Li family. He doesn't necessarily want this seat. Why did he threaten the imperial power in such a short period of time?"

The young man's voice was slightly hoarse, not pleasant, but calm beyond his age.

"Unless, he has some deep hatred for our Li family. What do you think of the queen mother?"

"Where is the deep hatred?" Queen Mother Zheng sneered, clutching her cuffs, "How can our Li family feel sorry for him?"

Qi Rui took the tea from Li Qiu, and said: "A few days ago, I took back from the Taifu the copper box that my father kept with him in the past."

Seeing that Empress Dowager Zheng frowned, he continued: "In that box are some marching histories from the war against the Great Qin in the past.

"It's not a secret, but it will be inconvenient to put it in the National History Museum for people to refer to. Because everything was written by the counselors in the past, it is stored in the Taifu's place.

"I took a look, and there are some things about Uncle Yan and the Wei family. How did Mrs. Wei die, the queen mother?"

Empress Dowager Zheng's complexion changed suddenly, and the five fingers that were originally resting on the cuffs also tightened involuntarily.

"Why are you asking this?!"

Qi Rui's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Uncle Yan is obsessed with Mrs. Wei, and he has never had a second heart, and brother Xiao also grew up in Wei's family, and Wei's family protects him in every possible way.

"From this point of view, the Wei family has great kindness to Uncle Yan. With his great power, it is impossible for him not to be able to protect his wife and the Yue family."

"For the sake of greater power, what is a mere Wei family?" The corners of Empress Dowager Zheng's lips were both disdainful and sad.

Qi Rui didn't force it either.

After a while, he changed his tone: "My son is very strange, most of the Taifu knew about the matter between the empress mother and the Han thief, but why didn't he stop it?

"Even Thief Han was promoted to the position of Chief Assistant by the Taifu. Did he have any agreement with the Queen Mother?"

"No!" Empress Dowager Zheng changed her face, "I don't know."

Hesitation flashed in her eyes, these days her thoughts were all immersed in Han Dun's death, and she never thought about his scruples.

She didn't even have time to think deeply about Mrs. Bi's reaction to the whole incident.

Qi Rui stood up: "The queen mother has a good rest, when she remembers, send a message to Qianqing Palace."

After speaking, he withdrew and walked out, his etiquette was impeccable.

Empress Dowager Zheng screamed: "I know you blame me and want to punish me, but you put me under house arrest just to let others take advantage of you!"

Qi Rui stopped under the door, and turned around after a while: "If I really wanted to punish you, I would have already been handed poisoned wine."

Empress Dowager Zheng was at a loss for words, and looked up again, but there was no one under the door.

……

The Chengyun Hall of King Yan's Mansion.

He Lanzhun offered tea to King Yan who had just practiced swordsmanship: "The emperor proposed to Jihan with Han Dun's corpse to let the coach of the Shen Falcon camp go to the palace to train the guards, and Jihan agreed to have dinner in the palace at night.

"The Queen Mother is still ill.

"And Mrs. Bi took over all of Hanton's errands, and a large number of positions in the six departments are being transferred."

King Yan wiped his sword with a silk handkerchief, and said after a while: "Is there a vacancy in the Ministry of Punishment?"

He Lanzhun paused slightly, and replied: "It turned out that the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to serve as the censor, filling in the vacancy of Han Jin before."

"Let Huo Jiu go to fill in the lack of the right servant. Then he will go on the road and send a memorial to the Qianqing Palace, and transfer Weiyuan Hou's son Jin Xiao to be the prison supervisor.

"Go to the Shen's house and tell Huo Jiu to go back to the house."

He Lanzhun glanced at him.

King Yan raised his head and looked into the distance, put his sword on the stone table in front of him with his backhand, and said again: "A few juniors in the bookkeeping department, you also take it with you, and let them get started before next year's spring."

Speaking of this, the end of the sentence is a little slow, and it also shows a bit of solemnity for no reason.

He Lanzhun said nothing, watching the sun shine on him through the branches and leaves.
