MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 72
early morning
As soon as Gan Yongfu shouted that there was something to do, he started playing and retired from the court without incident, Yin Ji went out to play and explained the daytime murder case yesterday that caused a lot of trouble in Shengjing and everyone panicked.
Yin Jilang said: "Your Majesty, the thieves are so bold that they killed so many ordinary people at the foot of the emperor in broad daylight. It is really a heinous crime. We must strictly find out the real culprit behind the scenes, otherwise we may not be able to convince the public and make the people feel dissatisfied." Even panic."
After Yin Ji finished speaking, someone stood up and seconded. He dared to kill so many people in broad daylight. No matter what the people behind them were doing, it could be seen that the other party was bold and lawless. Not to mention the common people, even the ministers were afraid. , I am afraid that one day they will touch their heads.
Yin Ji reminded Emperor Changde, "Your Majesty, the incident of ghosts haunting the quarry last year has not passed for a long time. If you don't find out the matter and give an explanation to the people, I'm afraid the people will think too much."
As for what to think about, Yin Ji didn't say that before the prince realized that it was aimed at him. When the second prince's family dominated last year, hundreds of people were killed in the quarry, but now he is the only prince in the court, and the people may think that he, the prince, ordered people to do it.
And this matter has nothing to do with him, the crown prince would never allow such a hat to be put on his head, the crown prince immediately echoed Yin Ji's words, "Father, my son thinks that Lord Yin's words are justified, please order the thorough Check this out."
The people from the prince's group breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him talking, they were afraid that the prince ordered people to do this, and if they really wanted to investigate it, they would have to clean up the mess for him. Since it is not, it is natural to follow the steps of the prince and demand a thorough investigation.
None of these people noticed that Emperor Changde was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
However, both civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty felt that this matter should be investigated, and they also used public anger and grievances as an issue, and Emperor Changde had to respond.
In a bad tone, he ordered Yin Ji, "Since Aiqing is all about the common people, and this person died in Shengjing City, it is a matter within your jurisdiction, then let Aiqing thoroughly investigate this matter, and I want to see it too." Let's see who is so daring to kill at the emperor's feet!"
Emperor Changde's sharp eyes fell on Yin Ji, Yin Ji's body trembled, and a chill suddenly appeared.
The entire early court only talked about this matter, and Emperor Changde said Yin Ji's name and asked him to investigate the matter thoroughly, and said to retreat from the court with a full face of displeasure. The uninformed ministers thought that Emperor Changde was dissatisfied with the murderers, while those who knew, such as Yin Ji, knew that Emperor Changde was angry with him and instigated the courtiers to secondly investigate the matter thoroughly.
Originally, Yin Ji was only 50% convinced that Emperor Changde was the man behind the scenes. Now seeing his reaction, Yin Ji believed 80% of the time, and the remaining 20% needed evidence to speak.
As soon as the court was over, Emperor Changde went back to his bedroom holding his stomach full of anger, scolding Yin Ji in front of Qian Yongfu, "I thought he was capable and would look at his face, but now he seems to be an elm My head, I shouldn't have let him be the governor of Shengjing, he is so stubborn!"
"Check, I asked him to check, and I'll see what flowers he can find." Emperor Changde was so angry that his heart ached, and after cursing for a while, he leaned on the chair and rested while covering his chest.
Qian Yongfu served tea, and then persuaded in a low voice, "Why does the emperor need to know a courtier who doesn't know how to adapt? This slave thinks that Lord Yin is suitable to be the young secretary of Dali Temple to investigate some difficult and serious cases. The matter that the governor of Shengjing has to take care of Too many and trivial, really not suitable for him."
Emperor Changde snorted coldly, "You said why didn't I see that he was such a person at the beginning. In vain I wanted to promote and reuse him. He is not good-looking."
If you want to do Yongfu to say this, Yin Ji is really wronged. You didn't tell people the truth, and he didn't want to have a good eye.
Of course, Qian Yongfu thought this way in his heart, but in reality he completely followed Emperor Changde's thoughts and listened to what Emperor Changde liked.
When Emperor Changde calmed down and felt that Yin Jijue couldn't find him, he began to ask Qian Yongfu, "Where are the people sent out last night, and they haven't come back yet?"
"This..." Gan Yongfu looked at Emperor Changde cautiously, a little hesitant to speak.
"What, what, say!" Seeing Qian Yongfu's reaction, Emperor Changde knew it was not good news, so the anger that had just been suppressed suddenly came up again.
Gan Yongfu had no choice but to tell the truth, "Earlier this morning, I asked the servants of the Wei family to send the body to the yamen, saying that they went to kill the daughter of the Su family last night. But the number is wrong. If there are two missing, I don't know if I ran away." He was still caught by the Wei family."
"Snapped!"
Emperor Changde raised his hand and slapped the table hard, "Wei family, it's Wei family again, the death of Wei Su is not enough, there is another Wei Yunzhao, I am really too merciful to spare his humble life."
He should have let Wei Yunzhao die at the border just like his father, so that he wouldn't be an eyesore to him now.
When it came to the matter of the Wei family, Qian Yongfu didn't dare to answer, after all, the emperor's hatred and fear for the Wei family had never been less since Qian Yongfu knew about it.
Emperor Changde quickly calmed down again, "You don't need to look for the letter, go, and send someone to get rid of that woman from the Su family. In addition, Wei Yunzhao was not active at the Wei family, so he killed his younger brother. Well, count it as my warning to him."
Emperor Changde's eyes fell on the teacup in his hand, "If you want to blame them, blame the Wei family for being too ungrateful, and they are dishonest when it comes to this. If they want to meddle in their own business, I will let them see this meddling." end."
Gan Yongfu was startled, but his face didn't show, "Yes, I'll arrange it now, my servant."
"Your Majesty, the two missing people?"
Emperor Changde picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Didn't it mean that all the corpses were sent to the Yamen?"
Gan Yongfu understood, no matter if he escaped or was caught, he should be regarded as dead, "Yes, I will order you to continue."
Qian Yongfu bowed and retreated, Emperor Changde also stood up, went to the wall and twisted a vase, a wall opened by itself, and there was a secret room inside.
The secret room was lit with oil lamps. It was very large, but there was only one bed, and the surrounding walls were covered with torture instruments, which were regarded as decorations. Those instruments of torture were used on Jiang Jinyue before, but now they are a little different.
The oiran who looked so much like Jiang Jinyue was brought back to the palace by Emperor Changde and never arranged a place to live. Emperor Changde directly locked him in this secret room, and he was only able to go out and let the wind walk around very rarely.
Emperor Changde said that he was afraid that the queen would kill her if she saw that she looked too much like Jiang Jinyue, but in fact he wanted to lock her up and torture her, and he was also afraid that she would wander around the palace and cause people to gossip.
No matter how similar she looks, she's not Jiang Jinyue, she's just a prostitute in a brothel who doesn't deserve much attention.
The emperor only favored a prostitute in a brothel, and there were many people who were dissatisfied. The courtiers decided to persuade them. Emperor Changde felt that it was too troublesome and didn't want to deal with it. .
But these were the initial thoughts, and now they are completely different, and now Emperor Changde feels that he cannot do without this beauty. Emperor Changde named the beauty Ruyue, and Ruyue's greatest ability was that she could make Emperor Changde feel comfortable, and enjoy pleasure even in an inhumane situation.
These pleasures were brought by Ruyue holding the instruments of torture on the wall, and Emperor Changde enjoyed it every day.
"Beauty, do you miss me?" Emperor Changde, who was still angry just now, put on a smiling face as soon as he entered the secret room, and opened his arms to hug Ruyue.
Ruyue was dressed coolly, with a seductive and alluring figure, Emperor Changde became more and more satisfied the more he looked at her, he hugged her and kissed her several times.
And the beauty is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has a delicate voice like a hook, which makes people itch. She caressed Emperor Changde's face with her weak and boneless hands, and called out delicately, "Your Majesty."
Emperor Changde felt that his bones were brittle, and he wanted to do beastly things when he hugged people.
It's a pity that he couldn't stand up, so he could only ask Ruyue to make him comfortable, Emperor Changde grabbed Ruyue's hand, "beauty, hurry up, I miss you."
Ruyue smiled coquettishly, "Does the emperor miss the servant's house or those things on the wall?"
Emperor Changde urged her to get the instruments of torture, "I want the beauty to hold those objects, it makes my whole body itch."
Ruyue smiled more and more seductively. After seeing Emperor Changde scratching his heart and lungs with anticipation, she got up to choose the torture tools. She browsed them one by one, "Which object does the emperor want to be lucky with today? It's this sheepskin." The whip is still a small wooden stick, I think this small whip with thorns is good, how about looking at the brand of this small whip today?"
Emperor Changde couldn't say no, he kept urging Ruyue to hurry up.
Ruyue took off the whip and slammed it heavily on the ground, making a crackling sound, Emperor Changde's body shook, and expectations arose.
Apart from himself and Ruyue, Emperor Changde also hid this new hobby from Qian Yongfu, because Emperor Changde knew very well that it would be too humiliating and degrading for a majestic emperor to rely on this method to obtain pleasure.
But ever since he was crippled, he felt that he hadn't had a happy day. In the past, beating Jiang Jinyue was to vent his inner anger, but now Ruyue brought him physical comfort. Even though he knew in his heart that this was wrong or not, it was like an addiction, and he felt that he couldn't do without Kisaragi.
The whip fell on him, and Emperor Changde made a comfortable sound, and the more he looked at Ruyue, the more satisfied he became. At the end, I felt more refreshed, and the previous anger had already dissipated without a trace.
Seeing his reaction, Ruyue also took the opportunity to make a request, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll, but I haven't been out for a long time." Ruyue hugged Emperor Changde's arm and acted like a baby.
Just enjoying it, the beauty begged again coquettishly, even though Emperor Changde didn't want Ruyue to go out, he couldn't resist, and finally agreed.
The condition is that he is with you.
Ruyue naturally had no objection, changed into beautiful clothes, happily left the secret room with Emperor Changde.
Qian Yongfu had ordered the good people to come back, and when he saw that Emperor Changde led Ruyue out, he went to the Imperial Garden to clean up the people first, the emperor didn't like people to see Ruyue beauty, so every time he went back to the Imperial Garden, there must be no other People are here.
Ruyue herself knew that the dog emperor was preventing her from sneaking away, but she didn't care, anyway, she didn't come out to meet those irrelevant people.
After walking around the imperial garden, after receiving the news she wanted, Ruyue obediently urged Emperor Changde to go back, she was so sensible, Emperor Changde liked her even more.
"My beauty is really flattering, come on, let's go back now," Emperor Changde took Ruyue's hand and happily walked back.
After locking Ruyue into the secret room, Emperor Changde was also in a good mood, and began to deal with the memorial and get down to business.
Then the first booklet was presented by the eldest prince. Emperor Changde saw that the border gates written by the first prince on the booklet were not stable, and that war might break out at any time, so he could not return to Beijing for the time being, so he threw the booklet on the table, "Do as much as you can." It’s something that doesn’t know how to appreciate it.”
"This boss, I asked him to go back to Beijing to compete with the crown prince for the position of heir. He is good. He would rather stay in that **** place than come back. Since he wants to stay, he should just stay in the border gate for the rest of his life, never to die." came back!"
Qian Yongfu gently persuaded, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness also refused to return to Beijing to protect Dayue and not let the Emperor worry about the border affairs. It is really a filial piety. Why should the Emperor be angry?"
Emperor Changde snorted, "Why am I so angry? I think he is not up to date. If he wins the crown prince, the world will be his. Some people will help him guard it, and he needs to suffer by himself?"
"This...doesn't this happen to mean that His Majesty has no intention of competing with his brothers, and it's a good thing for brothers and sisters to respect each other. The emperor should be happy."
Emperor Changde couldn't be happy at all, the throne has to be contested to prove it's a good thing. But now, the second child is dead, and the whereabouts of the fourth child is unknown, and it is not known whether he is dead or not. The fifth child can't fart with a stick, and the sixth child is a sick man who will disappear suddenly one day.
Not to mention the other young ones, he had so many sons, but none of them could stand up to compete with the prince for the throne, Emperor Changde was very frustrated. In my heart, I even wondered if these people thought that he had not managed the country well, leaving a mess in the future, so they refused to take over.
Of course, he thought that the reason why the eldest prince came back was because of those old things in the court, and those who hadn't seen him all went to the prince's side. This was not the situation he wanted to see, so the boss had to come back.
Emperor Changde narrowed his eyes, and ordered: "Qian Yongfu, draft an imperial decree to let the eldest prince return to Beijing as soon as possible, if he dares to refuse and delay, I will not spare him!"
"Yes," Qian Yongfu respectfully replied.
The edict had just been written and sent out when the prince received the news, and the prince hurried to Changning Palace to find the queen.
The queen looked as if she had expected it long ago, "Bengong said long ago that he will not stay at the border forever, and he is not an honest person. If you ask you to get rid of him, you will not listen."
The queen said: "I've never lost sight of people in my palace. Don't learn from your uncle's unwarranted kindness. Don't forget that you are a prince. The future emperor will always kill decisively and leave no room. Otherwise, you will leave it to yourself." Woe."
For example, the Wei family, the queen has been regretting it.
The crown prince listened to the queen's words this time, "Don't worry, the queen mother, the minister will make arrangements, and I will never let the elder brother step into Shengjing."
"Oh, by the way, Queen Mother, you have heard about what happened in court this morning. As for the daytime murder case that Yin Ji wanted to thoroughly investigate, whoever wants to touch a weak woman like Su Qiao, you dare to do it." Do it."
The queen said indifferently, "Think about how many people in the world can kill people in Shengjing in broad daylight. You will know who did it. Don't meddle in this matter."
"How could it be?" The prince was really surprised to hear the queen's words, and his mother almost directly said that his father did it.
The queen sneered, "There is nothing impossible, anyway, you don't care about this matter, as if you don't know anything."
It is true that the crown prince doesn't know anything, but, "Empress mother, my ministers have echoed Yin Ji's words in the court today, please make an order to thoroughly investigate this matter."
The queen was unhappy for a moment, thinking that the prince couldn't even figure out such a thing, and he was too brainless. But soon she shook her head, "It's okay, as long as it doesn't implicate you."
The queen frowned as she spoke, "This Yin Ji is really short-sighted. At first, I thought he had a bright future, but I didn't expect him to be so ignorant. My son, you should look for a side concubine again. This Yin Ji The family is unreliable."
The crown prince was also dissatisfied with Yin Ji's attitude, and felt that it was a great blessing for the Yin family that his dignified crown prince fell in love with his daughter, but the father and daughter were not happy about it, and they really didn't show face.
The crown prince said: "Don't worry, mother, I will definitely find two women who are willing to be side concubines. As for Yin Feifei, even if she enters the East Palace in the future, it will be just a decoration, I won't even bother to look at her."
If it wasn't for the imperial decree to bestow marriage, he would have gone to Yinji to get rid of the blind woman.
The queen showed a gratified expression and praised the prince a few words.
Before the prince left Changning Palace, he asked the queen what Yue Heng was doing recently. The prince still wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. Seeing him like this, the queen comforted him: "Don't worry, everything is under the control of this palace. He can't get rid of him." Feng Lang, besides, how difficult is it to get rid of him? If any of the soups and medicines he drank in these years is not poisonous, I can ask someone to add a little more to kill him. You'd better get rid of the boss first, that's the way to go The person who competes with you for the throne."
It's also a coincidence that the crown prince ran into Yue Heng who was wearing a fox quilt and hugging the stove as soon as he left the Changning Palace. It was already April and it was already hot. He was still dressed like this, he really didn't look like a long-lived person. Yue Heng has been ill for a long time, and rarely goes out, his face is paler than a woman's, but he is sickly and pale, not good-looking at all, the prince thinks so.
Yue Heng also saw him and wanted to come over to salute him, but for some reason, the prince always felt that Yue Heng was a threat to him, and he didn't bother to take care of him, so he went straight away without waiting for Yue Heng to come over.
Yue Heng seemed to be calling His Highness the Crown Prince behind his back, but the Crown Prince pretended not to hear it.
But after walking for a while, the prince suddenly turned his head around again, and Yue Heng was still standing there looking at him. The prince felt a chill down his spine when he met Yue Heng's gaze. He didn't know how to describe that gaze, but instinctively felt a little scared .
The prince first moved his eyes away, then felt that something was wrong, and when he looked at Yue Heng again, he saw him waving his hands and smiling at himself, which was completely different from the feeling just now.
The prince snorted coldly, ignored Yue Heng, turned around and walked away quickly.
It's just that he was still worried about Yue Heng, and once he returned to the East Palace, he arranged for someone to monitor him, "Keep an eye on Gu Gu, and report his every move to Gu, understand?"
The subordinates took orders.
Yue Heng also soon realized that there were two more nails in his residence, he smiled casually, "It seems better than his arrogant and brainless mother."
But it's not going anywhere.
In the huge palace, everyone has their own thoughts.
The author has something to say: update one chapter first, and the other chapter may not be updated until after nine o'clock.
