Before Chu Qinghuang resigned and left, he thought for a long time and finally decided to tell him good news.

"If the Ling family is accused, their property should be worth half a year's tax revenue to the Xiqi treasury." She said in a calm tone, "The reason Xiqi has not been able to get rich for so many years is because these powerful families are greedy and use whatever means they can. When it comes to amassing wealth, as long as my father is more aggressive and ruthless in his management, I can't say that he is as powerful as Dongling, but at least he can be as powerful as Dazhou and Northern Xinjiang."

The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "Is it worth half a year's tax revenue to the treasury?"

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "I only got the news recently, but there is not enough evidence yet, and it will take some time to investigate carefully."

"What a Ling Ancheng!" The emperor's tone was cold and furious, and he suddenly picked up the teacup and threw it out, "How dare he? How dare he!"

When the guards waiting outside the door heard the movement, they all shivered. They subconsciously turned their heads to look at Eunuch Chen and the commander of the imperial guards. They saw that Chen Hai's expression was as usual and Chu Xuanyi's expression was calm.

The two of them looked as if they didn't hear the noise in Yuqian Palace and didn't react at all.

As expected of a father-in-law who has served the emperor for many years, a commander in charge of the imperial army, he is full of determination and admirable.

In Yugan Palace.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and the veins on his forehead were pulsing, showing his anger.

The Holy Emperor!

The Holy Emperor!

Every morning the ministers in court shout long live, and the most popular thing they shout during discussions is "My Emperor's Ming Ming", but what's the use of having the Emperor's Ming Ming?

All the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty were corrupt, abused their private power, sought personal gain, and had evil intentions. They were all seeking benefits for their families. Who else truly served the king and was loyal to the country?

Everyone in the court was coaxing him, and any official he randomly pulled out was richer than the emperor. The emperor who was more than ten thousand people was simply a joke!

The emperor took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe his face.

"I just lost my composure." He said in a deep tone, "Qinghuang, I want to uproot the Ling family's influence! I give you half a month to find out all the evidence of the Ling family's corruption, bribery, and personal enrichment. The very close officials will get to the bottom of it and no one will be let go!"

Chu Qinghuang nodded: "I don't have enough manpower."

"Except for the dark pavilion, I will ask the imperial army to cooperate with you." His Majesty the Emperor said, turning his head and shouting coldly, "Chen Hai, Chu Xuanyi!"

When the two people waiting outside the palace heard His Majesty the Emperor's summons, they quickly opened the door and entered, bowing their heads in salute.

"From now on, the eldest princess has the right to enter and leave the palace and Yuqian Palace at any time, anytime, anywhere, without interrogation."

"yes."

"Chu Xuanyi, the eldest princess will start carrying out my secret orders immediately. You will cooperate unconditionally with everything she asks you to do!"

"I obey the decree."

"Men are not allowed to enter the forbidden area of ​​the harem at will." The emperor ordered coldly, "Even if the prince wants to see his mother and concubine, he must obtain my consent, otherwise it will be your dereliction of duty as the commander of the imperial army. Chu Xuanyi, did you hear this clearly? ?”

Chu Xuanyi lowered his head and accepted the order: "I obey the order."

"In addition." His Majesty the Emperor closed his eyes, "Female relatives and concubines of the court are also not allowed to enter the palace at will unless summoned."

"yes."

After issuing a series of orders, the emperor thought for a while and said calmly: "What have the princes been doing these two days?"

There was silence in the hall.

The sudden question made both Chen Hai and Chu Xuanyi quiet down.

"Back to the emperor, several of the princes are studying hard." Chen Hai smiled respectfully, "Only the third prince is recuperating in the palace. He has been living in seclusion recently and has not heard any news."

The third prince is recovering from his injuries, the legitimate son of the Feng family is recovering from his injuries, and the noble sons of the clan are also recovering from their injuries.

The imperial city has been a lot quiet recently. All the people who offended the eldest princess are either recovering from their injuries or in prison. There are very few who are intact.

"Studying?" the emperor said coldly, "How old are they and are they still studying? I have never seen any of them take the initiative to intervene in major affairs of the government. Each of them is better than the other in fighting for power and conspiracy! They are all useless!"

Chen Hai lowered his head in fear: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

His Majesty the Emperor sat on the chair, his brows filled with a hint of coldness: "Let's go do your work and leave me alone for a while."

"I excuse myself."

"Slave, please retire."

Turning around and walking out of Yuqian Palace, the moment the door was closed, the air seemed to become a little subtle.

Chu Xuanyi looked at Chu Qinghuang with a calm look and a little humility.

This girl is still cold and noble, bright and indifferent, and exudes a high and noble aura, which is no different from the last time I saw her in the eldest princess's mansion.

This is an innate tolerance.

But Chu Xuanyi knew clearly in his heart that he was also from a royal family, but he had never felt such magnanimity from those princes. If the eldest princess was a man...

"Prince Yi." Chu Qinghuang's voice was indifferent and calm, "What my father and I said in the palace just now, whether you heard it outside or not, are not allowed to be spread. If someone leaks the news..."

He looked around slightly and said, "Everyone on duty today must be held responsible for their crimes!"

Wow!

All the guards on duty knelt down: "I didn't hear anything, my eldest princess, please take a closer look!"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, Princess." Chu Xuanyi lowered his eyebrows, "I am willing to accept any punishment if a word is leaked about today's matter."

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "I believe you will not seek death."

After that, he turned around and left.
