"What did you say?"

Seeing that the palace gate was about to fall, Jia Cong was about to rest with Baochai when he saw Li Rong personally rushed back to the palace from Jia's mansion and reported on Ma Daopo's affairs.

After hearing this, Baochai's expression changed drastically, and Jia Cong's expression became a little dazed.

It turns out that there is really a Daopo Ma...

"Your Highness, can you leave the palace?"

Li Rong asked afterwards.

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "I left the palace late at night, afraid of being tricked by a traitor... I went to tell Zhan Peng, and asked him to send an order to the Jinyiwei to arrest Ma Daopo immediately and interrogate him strictly. Check the suspects involved in the case, and there is no need to submit a memorial. First, take the question down. If there are those who resist the arrest, they will be killed without mercy. Wei Chen is personally concerned about this matter. There must be a great reputation behind this matter. In addition, let Zhan Peng transfer another thousand East Palace six to the Jia family to guard the Jia family. Li Rong, you will lead people to isolate the Jia family and the Grand View Garden. All the Jia family servants and maids should not enter the Grand View Garden without permission. The kitchen drinking water is controlled by the palace servants, but this matter does not need to disturb Lin Daimei and the others."

When Li Rong heard this, she hurriedly took the order and left.

After she left, Jia Cong lost sleepiness and put on again.

Seeing this, Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to serve and asked, "Master, should you be careful?"

Jia Cong sneered and said in a cold voice: "I want to harm me if I can't help but such a shameful method?"

Baochai's expression changed again when she heard this, and she asked, "What did you say? Don't you want to harm the girl?"

Jia Cong shook his head and said, "If Sister Lin gets tuberculosis, I will never escape the misfortune after returning to the palace. Then, Sister Bao, you will definitely be infected by me. Haha, the people behind this are a good way. They came up with such a desperate plan, which is to make my family die!"

Baochai and Ying'er's face turned pale when they heard this, and they didn't think about this.

How much hated Jia Cong would have come up with such a plan?

Who is Ma Daopo?

Baochai's heart trembled suddenly, she looked at Jia Cong in panic and asked, "Master, could it be my mother and the others..."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Where do you want to go? They are now being watched by the discipline nanny and are already isolated from inside and outside. If they have such supernatural powers, they don't need to go to find Aunt Zhao. But... Then again, Aunt Zhao looks stupid on weekdays, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, I still understand a little."

After laughing, Jia Cong stroked Baochai's face and said, "Don't be afraid, the palace life will never lack such conspiracy and calculations. This has been the case in all dynasties. But there are very few who can succeed. At least, these small tricks will never be effective for me. Go to the Palace of Yangxin."

...

Daming Palace, Hall of Health.

In the East Nuan Pavilion, after several officials on duty were reported overnight, Jia Cong told the story roughly and said, "I think this matter is probably not that simple, and there is a great reputation behind it. What do all the officials think?"

Zhao Qingshan's face was hard, his eyes were blazing fire, and his voice was loud: "This is a major case of rebellion! When the late emperor was still alive, the three princes died unknown. Later, it was found that they were done by Prince Yizhong, but the ending was not detailed. Now the thief rose up again and pointed his vicious hand at Your Highness. If this thief is not eliminated, the country will have no peace!"

Lin Qinghe also frowned and said, "Your Highness, this case should not be ignored. The person behind him may have a big plan."

Wei Yi, who temporarily handled the cabinet affairs as a sacrificer, said slowly: "The motive is nothing more than three points: one is the imperial power. If your highness fails, the imperial power will inevitably fall aside. The second is the new law. The new law was promoted by the late emperor and the new party, and it spread to the world and touched the interests of too many people. They originally thought that after the emperor ascended the throne, the new law would be abolished, but His Highness unswervingly supported the new law and its support was even better than the late emperor. Many people were desperate and inevitably took risks."

Jia Cong asked, "What about the third one?"

Wei Yi hesitated for a while and said, "Your Highness, I have heard a rumor that it is...behind Prince Yizhong, there may be...the emperor's support. The late emperor reigned for fourteen years, and although he offended countless people, there were also many loyal people who loved it very much. So..."

"presumptuous!!"

Before Wei Yi finished speaking, Zhao Qingshan was angry and roared at him.

Wei Yi smiled bitterly, knelt down and apologized: "I have defiled the court with the words of the market. Please ask Your Highness to punish him."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said, "The cabinet is not as good as the court. Those who should speak are not guilty. No matter what the officials are, they think it is beneficial to the country, but they can say nothing. As for what you said, I can tell clearly that this is a false statement. If it is really done by the father, the late emperor would never leave a will in person before the great ceremony and pass it on to the father. Since ancient times, those who fight for imperial power in the Tian family are not considered strange things. But if the three cousins ​​who were poisoned by others are done by the father, would the late emperor not know? This is a traitor that ruins my Tian family and family.

The most important thing is that the new law is the thing that the late emperor attaches most importance to in his life. In history, it will be famous throughout the ages. If the internal struggles of the real Tian family are so cruel, how could Gu inherit the aspirations of the late emperor and continue to vigorously promote the new law? Don’t Gu know that the more prosperous the new law, the more the wise and wise the late emperor are admired by future generations? In a sense, as long as the new law is carried out, the late emperor will live forever in the hearts of the people.”

Jia Cong's previous words may not convince everyone. But the latter words really convinced everyone.

In history, even if the new emperor ascended the throne, even if the son inherited his father's business, he would usually use a series of new policies to eliminate and downplay the policies of the previous emperors, so as to understand the imperial power and be the only one who is the only one.

However, Jia Cong not only did not change the new law, but also promoted the method of the late emperor more and more vigorously.

How could this be done by an enemy?

Wei Yi apologized again, and Jia Cong waved his hand to exempt him from the crime, saying, "Wei Qing can tell this matter directly before Gu, but Gu only feels relieved. How could he be blamed? In the past two years, Daqian has suffered many disasters and difficulties, and national affairs are heavy and difficult. If in this case, Gu and the cabinet cannot trust each other and work together, the country will be in danger."

As soon as this statement was made, all the ministers in the cabinet were greatly moved.

The desire to meet the wise ruler makes every minister think it is a blessing in life.

After several confessions and talking about the important matters again, the ministers became increasingly no longer restricted and could let go.

Dong Xin, a cabinet clerk who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, said in a deep voice: "I also have a guess. After the auction of the Jingyingxue recipe, I summoned the Shanxi merchants and told them that the court wanted to supervise the silver account. I can see that the Shanxi merchants were extremely opposed to this matter and reacted fiercely. Even though I warned him with the words of Your Highness, the Shanxi merchants still did not agree."

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically. Lin Qinghe said in a deep voice: "Mr. Dong, you think this is done by Shanxi merchants? Who are the only merchants have such courage?"

Dong Xin was not afraid of Lin Qinghe. He glanced at him and continued to say to Jia Cong: "Of course I will not involve you for no reason. After I ordered the Jin merchants to be inadmissible for the order to be subject to court supervision, I have been waiting for impeachment by all officials. Over the years, the Jin merchants have been funding the scholars from the North to study. It is well known that according to the practice, on the second day, I should be impeached by all officials and compete for profit with the people. However, after waiting for several days, there was still no movement. This matter is definitely not in common. Of course, I did not conclude that this matter was done by the Jin merchants. It is not a clue."

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I heard that behind the sudden death of the three princes of the late emperor, there are faint shadows of some families in the south of the Yangtze River. As the saying goes, cutting off people's hatred for money and killing their parents even more. What Dong Qing said is reasonable... Wang Chun."

The eunuch in charge of the Eastern Palace hurriedly replied: "I am here."

Jia Cong said: "I passed on the orphan's will and immediately encircled the Jinyiwei to the Jin Shang Hall."

He asked Dong Xin again: "Who was the most intense reaction that day?"

Dong Xin said: "Go back to Your Highness, he is Cao Zhun, the head of the Cao family in Pingyao. The Cao family is one of the three major banknotes for Shanxi merchants."

Jia Cong said "yes" and continued to say to Wang Chun: "Cao Zhun, the head of the Cao family, and seal the new Bank of China in Beijing, China and Japan. In addition, martial law is strictly imposed in Beijing to prevent minor troubles."

Wang Chun hurried to pass the imperial edict, and Jia Cong said to Zhao Qingshan again: "Tomorrow, I will send the coffin of the late emperor into the imperial tomb, and the Taifu will take charge of the court. He ordered the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and Lantai Temple to strictly investigate the case. This time, be sure to find out the bad guy behind me, and Ming Zhengdian's punishment!"

...

"Bang!"

Inside Yonghefang of Yanping Gate, the Medicine King Temple.

The Taoist temple, which had been closed, was hammered in the quiet night, and rushed into countless cemeteries wearing three mountain wingless gauze hats and black black quail brocaded clothes.

Four or five Taoist priests who had just finished evening classes and some sweepers were shocked by the fierce evil spirits who broke into the door.

The leader's Jinyiwei looked like lightning. After sweeping around, he asked sternly: "Where is Ma Daopo?"

The Taoist nuns looked at each other, and an old Taoist trembled and said, "Go back... Go back to the official, preside over today... I have never returned today."

The Jinyiwei shouted sternly, "Where has the thief gone?"

The old Taoist became more afraid and trembled and replied: "There is a noble man in Beijing County Prince's Mansion today. I asked the host to go and recite the Medicine King Sutra, but I have not returned yet."

Hearing this, the Jinyiwei's expression changed slightly, but he did not leave. He ordered to a deep voice: "Take all the people in the temple back to the imperial prison, search the Taoist temple, and do not let it go."

"Here!"

"Others, follow me to Beijing County Prince's Mansion!"

"Abide by the order!"

...

"Da da da da!"

"Smack!"

A burst of rapid and noisy horse hooves and footsteps sounded outside the guild hall of Shanxi merchants located in Gulou Street, Guangdefang, Xicheng City.

Someone came in to report, but soon after, more than a dozen leading figures of Shanxi merchants walked out the door. When they saw the soldiers and horses surrounded and blocked, their faces changed drastically.

As soon as the person in the middle stood up, he bowed and asked, "The people from the east are rising to Chang's Sun, Lei Zhitai, I wonder what the adults are doing to close the door late at night?"

An official from the Jinyiwei came forward, looked at the famous Shanxi merchant elite and said, "I am the governor of the Jinyiwei North Punishment Department, Han Tao, hereby come to ask for someone to ask for questions according to the imperial edict of His Highness."

Lei Zhitai's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said, "I wonder who the Prince wants to ask? I dare to ask, what happened?"

Han Tao sneered and said, "What happened? You Shanxi merchants are so brave that they dare to participate in the major case of rebellion that attempted to murder the prince! At this moment, the entire Shenjing City has been martial law, and the capital city is Dasuo. Where is Cao Zhun of the Cao family in Pingyao?"

Amidst the shock and panic, a burly man stepped out of the line, his face pale but he couldn't bear it, and said, "It's Cao Zhun, but I don't know what the lord is saying."

Han Tao stared at the person coldly for a moment, nodded and said, "It's really a courageous person! Come on, please ask Cao Zhun to go back to the yamen to ask."

"Here!"

A group of tiger and wolf masters stepped forward, took down Cao Zhun, who had already become trembling all over and dragged him out.

Han Tao said to Lei Zhitai: "Don't worry, don't go out in the guild hall these days. Wait until the Jinyiwei joins the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Lantai Temple to review, and you will definitely be cleared."

When Lei Zhitai and others heard this, their faces were gloomy, but who dared to say more?

Only Lei Zhitai was braver and bowed, saying, "Mr. Han, Lord Lao, for Caomin, said to Your Highness a substitute for Caomin."

When Han Tao heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lei Zhitai said in a deep voice: "A few days ago, a cabinet minister talked with Cao Min and others about the matter of the imperial supervision of the investment of the bank account. After several days of discussion, Cao Min and others thought that this was because of Your Highness's kindness to protect Cao Min and others. Cao Min and others were very grateful and willing to accept this trip."

When Han Tao heard this, he looked at Lei Zhitai deeply, and his eyes swept over the increasingly chaotic Shanxi merchant behind him, and smiled faintly, saying, "If the shopkeeper Lei says, I will report to the crown prince. But I will still remind you, don't underestimate your highness. If the matter tonight has nothing to do with you, no matter whether you accept the goodwill of the court or not, you will be safe. If it is really related to you, let alone the silver number, you will not be able to save your life even if you carry all the silver from Daqian! It is crazy to murder the crown prince, and it is difficult to tolerate the law of heaven!"

Lei Zhitai held his head up and said with his chest: "Don't worry, sir, other grass-roots people dare not guarantee it, but Shanxi merchants will never dare to do such a beast without a king or a father."

Han Tao looked at him straight and said, "You don't have to come forward directly. Isn't it count if you pay money from behind?"

After saying that, he ignored Lei Zhitai, whose face suddenly changed, and left a team of soldiers in brocade clothes to block the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce Hall, Han Tao led his men to leave with Cao Zhun.

That night, the capital was shaken and the world was shaken!
Chapter completed!
