Chapter 223 A Mess
In the last fraud case in the Chunwei Imperial Court, Qin Suqian, the former Minister of Rites, was dismissed from his post and sent to prison. After Dali Temple tried it, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison without pardon.

Before Qin Suqian was sent to prison, he wrote a letter and had it handed over to Xu Zhi.She said in the letter that she would take responsibility for the fraud of the female Jinshi Ke Chunwei, but Xu Zhi wanted to promise her one thing, and if necessary, someone would contact him.

After Xu Zhi received this letter, he was worried for a few days and then put the matter behind him. Who knew that before the Yuquan Mountain review, Ming Han, who had failed in Chunwei Enke, actually posted a visit.Originally, he didn't have a good impression of this son named Sun Shan, but this person actually carried Qin Suqian's handwritten letter, so Xu Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet Ming Han.

Ming Han destroyed the autographed letter in front of Xu Zhi, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu Ge, don't be nervous. The next time I came here, I just borrowed a little from my old friend. In fact, it was for the future of Mr. Xu Ge." Come."

Xu Zhi sneered and said nothing at the time, destroying the letter does not mean that he can sit back and relax from now on. Qin Suqian is not dead, but was imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial Army. Bite him.Besides, he still doesn't know if she has any secrets in her hands that he doesn't know about.

Seeing that he was impatient, Ming Han still maintained a very good manner, "Mr. Xu Ge has been in the court for many years. Everyone has seen your hard work and worry. However, since His Majesty came to the throne, he has been influenced by the emperor's husband and has always been at odds with Mr. Ge. , Elder Xu Ge's current situation in the court, I don't need to say more, I think the old man knows it well."

The smile on Xu Zhi's face became colder by three points, "How about this officer, it's not your turn to be laughed at by a failed candidate!"

When the first emperor was in power, he and Jiang Qixi were allowed to compete with each other, in order to check and balance.But Ning Yuezhao is different now, she has great trust in the imperial husband Jiang Nian, although there are constant rumors outside, but as a close minister of the cabinet, he can still see these ways, so he has been ordering Xu Miaoyun not to have any unreasonable thoughts.

Ever since Jiang Nian became the emperor's husband, he has always been teasing him, even Ning Yuezhao beat him up several times. He wanted to put his own people in some important positions, but these two just refused to let him do so.Not to mention Jiang Qixi, even Yan Zhenglang has a tendency to surpass him.He was so indignant that he could hardly sleep at night!
Ming Han smiled lightly, "I don't dare to laugh at Elder Ge, it's just that I'm sincerely thinking of you."

Xu Zhi waved his hand, "Speak directly!"

Ming Han said nonchalantly: "What is the situation between His Majesty and Xiao Jingtian now, Mr. Xu Ge must have a good idea in his mind. If something happened to Yuquan Mountain this time, did Mr. Xu Ge ever think about what would happen?"

It is well known that Xiao Jingtian and the empress are at odds, and the empress has been married to the emperor's husband for nearly a year and has never given birth to an heir. If she has one or two, the only person who can entrust this country is King Kangyu.

King Kangyu dominates the south of the Yangtze River. Although the number of soldiers in his hands is not comparable to that of the emperor's imperial army, he holds a quarter of the tax revenue of the empire in his hands, and his financial resources may not be inferior to the national treasury.

Next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly!Several generations of Ning's direct descendants wanted to remove this unsightly side branch, but the northern border had never been peaceful, and the turmoil in the northwest alone was enough for the emperor to have a headache, so he had to let King Kangyu sit on the throne.

This situation was suppressed a little until the former emperor's husband Wang Chengye was in power, but during the stand with Beiqi, Wang Chengye was seriously injured and lingering in the bed, unable to preside over the government.The first emperor's ability was mediocre, and he was only conservative during his reign.

Ming Han suddenly brought up the matter of successors, Xu Zhi immediately became alert, and scolded: "Absurd, Your Majesty is still young, Yuquan Mountain is just a routine military parade, what can happen!"

Ming Han didn't show surprise at his reaction, he just smiled and said: "Old Xu Ge, there is no one else here, no matter how loyal you are, His Majesty won't hear it. Besides, even if His Majesty heard it, he would only feel that You are playing."

Being exposed mercilessly by Ming Han, Xu Zhi was a little annoyed, "Ming Han, if you want to trap me in injustice, even if you ask that woman to do it, you will be dead anyway, I am not afraid of you!"

"I just want to remind Mr. Xu Ge, why are you so angry? Since you mentioned Mr. Qin, I have to make something clear." Ming Han sat up straight and looked directly at him, his expression no longer The previous gentleness was replaced by indifference.

"Mr. Xu Ge may not be afraid of death, but have you thought about the hundreds of lives in your family? An Chen, the former Beiqi spy, and Liu Feilong, the cheating man in Chunwei, these people have a lot of connections with you." Yuanyuan, I heard that His Royal Highness once rehabilitated the Lu family, I wonder if he is interested in these two cases."

Now that the Xu family has a big business and a large population, it doesn't matter if it's just his life, but there are so many people in the family.If there is a little carelessness, it is also possible to end up with a whole family of copycats.What's more, Xu Zhi knew what he had done by himself.He used to be confident that he would do it cleanly, but these few times he didn't act smoothly, and he really couldn't guarantee whether there was some fatal trick in Minghan's hands.

Seeing the hesitation on Xu Zhi's face, Ming Han hooked the corners of his lips, and continued: "Actually, you don't have to be so nervous, you are all on the same boat, aren't you?"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Zhi closed his eyes resignedly, and even changed his name.

Ming Han smiled, "It's nothing, I just want to borrow the hands of Mr. Xu Ge in the court."

Having said this, he got up and left, leaving behind Xu Zhi who was anxious.

Later, something happened to Yuquan Mountain Dayue, and Xu Zhi knew at that time that Ming Han must have done all of this.Ming Han sent someone to tell him that he must make the empress and the Jiang family turn against each other.

Although Jiang Qixi doesn't intervene in government affairs very much now, the Jiang family's children and disciples are all over the court and the public, because Jiang Nian's relationship is all loyal to the empress.

Taking advantage of this incident, he used his power in the court to fuel the flames, making people believe that the empress had an affair with Xiao Jingtian, and he himself continued to defend Xiao Jingtian, which was actually intensifying the conflict between the two sides.If the Empress disposes of Xiao Jingtian, the Northwest Army will definitely mutiny, and then King Kangyu will be able to go north in the name of King Qin; if the Empress does not dispose of Xiao Jingtian, there will be a rift with the Jiang family.

It's a pity that man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. Jiang Nian was lucky enough to survive. When Xiao Jingtian was captured by the empress, Ming Han was also arrested. Xu Zhi can only pin his hopes on the Northwest Army.Sure enough, the Northwest Army mutinied, but Xiao Jingtian was released by the empress, and the disaster was put to rest.Xiao Jingtian surrendered to the empress, Ming Han and Song Yiyi's identities were exposed, and they would be beheaded at noon tomorrow.

Ming Han never told Xu Zhi who he was, maybe Bei Qi, or King Kang Yu.Although he admitted in Chongtian Palace that he was from Beiqi and would be beheaded tomorrow, Xu Zhi felt uneasy, afraid that he might hold something against him, and if he died, he would be finished too!

When Xu Zhi looked through the official documents in the cabinet in the evening, he found that there was a note mixed in the official documents. The handwriting on it was crooked, which was obviously deliberately hidden.The letter stated that he does not need to interfere with the future affairs, and King Kangyu will arrive in the imperial capital soon.

Xu Zhi broke out in a cold sweat immediately, but fortunately he used an office room by himself.He flipped through the official document, it was the document from the Ministry of Rites, needless to say, it must have been written by Qin Suqian again.

He really didn't know how he was entangled by this nightmare woman, and was forced to board a pirate ship!
There is no need to worry about tomorrow's affairs for the time being, Ming Han has already become an abandoned child.However, as a vassal king, King Kangyu should be stationed in the fief, and he is not allowed to leave without an edict.

Right now, the army on the northwest side, led by Xiao Jingtian's deputy general Luo Feng, is advancing towards the imperial capital. Xiao Jingtian personally led people to stop it. It is not known whether Xiao Jingtian pretended to be a vassal to the Empress. It may not be known when the troops from both sides join together and return to the carbine.

If the imperial capital was in chaos all his life, and King Kangyu took the opportunity to lead his troops northward, then...

The more Xu Zhi thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he didn't have the heart to deal with official business. Seeing that the time was almost up, he wanted to abduct him to the Hanlin Academy and go back to the mansion with Xu Miaoyun to discuss business, but was told by the people of the Imperial Academy that Xu Miaoyun temporarily replaced Wang Liyou to discuss politics. The palace is waiting for an imperial edict.

Xu Zhi had no choice but to go back to the mansion in a distraught state, waiting for Xu Miaoyun to come back.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun frowned after listening to Xu Zhi's narration.

After a long time, she spoke slowly, "Father, my daughter thinks that Ming Han's analysis is right. Your Majesty is really not a wise master. With this country in her hands, the dragon chair may not be able to sit in prison."

Xu Zhi looked at his daughter and frowned, "Being a father, I never thought of any big rebellion. Although your majesty was a little willful, he didn't make any big mistakes. Now he is still showing his edge, and her imperial husband Jiang Nian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Jiang Nian is as scheming as his father!"

When Jiang Nian was mentioned, a sharp light appeared in Xu Miaoyun's eyes, which soon dimmed.

"It doesn't matter if you don't save fuel. His right arm is useless. With that temperament that likes the new and dislikes the old, it won't be long before this palace will accept the emperor's servant."

Xu Zhi said in a deep voice: "The imperial hospital has always kept secrets about the imperial husband's condition, how do you know that his right arm is disabled?"

Xu Miaoyun sneered, "Today, His Majesty was approving papers in the Palace of Political Affairs, and the imperial husband also went, but he never used his right hand from the beginning to the end."

Having said this, Xu Miaoyun became angry again.

Xu Zhi frowned even tighter, "It's been almost a month since the emperor's husband was injured. It stands to reason that if it's a flesh injury, it should be healed..."

He paused, his eyebrows relaxed slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of coldness, "It seems that he is also afraid of losing His Majesty's heart, even if his hand is lost, he still insists on His Majesty, and even a young male minister stays by His Majesty's side." I can't stand it."

Xu Miaoyun said sullenly: "It's not entirely true. Although the emperor's husband can't write with his right hand, his sanity has not been damaged. He...he asked Yan Qingchi to write on his behalf!"
