Long live the best

More than a dozen scholar-officials were transferred here to urgently deal with the mess of the household department.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?" Qi Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came from outside the palace and asked hesitantly.

"Let's talk." Qin Yun said while approving the memorial.

Qi Yong frowned: "Your Majesty, now the civil and military officials are quite critical of your unrestrained arrest and interrogation."

"Also outside the palace, the streets and alleys are slandering His Majesty for being cruel and bloodthirsty, and saying that Concubine Shu is a demon queen, harming the country."

"Even the children made up nursery rhymes for you."

"Today, officials from the household department and others were arrested, and the opposition to you has reached a climax. I am wondering if your majesty can stop for a while and relax a bit, otherwise something serious will happen after a long time."

Qin Yun frowned, and put down the memorial: "This is Wang Wei's scheme, and he deliberately added fuel to the flames, so don't pay attention to it."

"Your Majesty..." Qi Yong wanted to persuade him again.

Qin Yun's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "Qi Aiqing, I know you are loyal, but the matter has reached the point where there is no room for relaxation."

"What I want is to withstand the pressure, find evidence, and then get rid of Wang Wei. But Wang Wei puts all kinds of pressure on him and incites officials and people to escort him."

"If I regress, he will win, and my reputation will also deteriorate. This is a game that has already begun. Next, it depends on who has the last laugh."

When Qi Yong heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, since you have a plan, the old minister will stop talking."

Qin Yun nodded, and suddenly asked: "Among the imperial capital, are there any capable people who coexist with civility and fame, and whose family background is clean?"

Qi Yong was stunned for a moment, then said: "Yes!"

"Who?" Qin Yun asked.

"Henan Li's eldest son..."

"For another one, I don't want these powerful ministers' children."

Qi Yong frowned and thought for a while: "Yangchun Academy, Gu Chuntang."

"What's the background?" Qin Yun asked.

"He came from a poor family, but his grandfather was a scholar for three generations. This son has a very high literary attainment. Almost all Confucian scholars in the Manchu Dynasty have read his articles. Moreover, he is high-spirited and upright, with a very good heart. Even the grand master Wei Zheng admires him very much." Praise." Qi Yong said.

Qin Yun frowned, and Wei Zheng praised him?

"Okay, I got it, you go down and investigate his relationship background, and then tell me if there is no problem."

Qi Yong nodded and left.

Shortly after.

Eunuch Xi came to report: "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking to see you, and she wants to tell you something."

"The noble concubine?"

"Wang Guifei."

Chapter 67 Resentment like a snake and a scorpion!

Qin Yun frowned, what would this woman tell him?

After thinking about it, he still left the imperial study and came to the cold palace.

In a mottled palace, there are very few servants, but there are too many forbidden troops around, surrounding it heavily.

"See Your Majesty." Wang Min stood at the door, dressed in plain clothes, and bestowed a blessing on Qin Yun, with a delicate demeanor.

Qin Yun couldn't understand her acting like this, so he said lightly, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Wang Min lowered his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yun expectantly: "Your Majesty, can I sit in the palace?"

"Can't!"

Qin Yun directly refused: "If you have anything to say, just say it here. I am very busy. If you don't plead guilty and confess, then you will be spared. I have already given you a chance, but it is a pity that you don't cherish it."

Wang Min was silent, shedding tears.

The beautiful face is full of sadness, like Daiyu burying flowers, which makes people feel pity.

"Your Majesty, are you really ignoring the relationship between husband and wife? This cold palace is so cold that I dare not sleep."

"If Your Majesty really doesn't want my concubines anymore, my concubines would rather die!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun sneered even harder.

"The love between husband and wife, you are ashamed to say these words to me!"

He stepped forward, looked at her with a trace of resentment, and pinched her white chin with one hand: "I ask you, what's the matter with Wang Qingluan?"

Wang Min hesitated for a moment, and then returned to normal. She guessed that this matter might be revealed.

"Your Majesty, Qingluan is the concubine's cousin, and also the concubine's personal servant girl. When the concubine is not feeling well, it is understandable to let Qingluan sleep with her?"

"There are so many women in the harem, and if the concubines want to please His Majesty alone, how dare they refuse when His Majesty is in high spirits?"

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "The explanation is good, but it's a pity that I don't believe it at all."

"You are the one to blame for being in the cold palace. You know better than anyone else whether you have done those things."

"I'm very busy, and I have something to say. If you're just pleading for mercy, then you don't need to say anything."

There was a glint of darkness in Wang Min's peach blossom eyes. Qin Yun's expression was too cold, which made her feel that her self-esteem was damaged.

She was not reconciled, she paid so much to enter the deep palace, but in the end she gave Concubine Xiao Shu a dowry.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, I am loyal to you. If you hate me now, you will definitely regret it in the future."

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows: "Are you threatening me?"

Wang Min raised his head and put away his pitiful look.

A little cryptically said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the court hall and the harem have been places where open and secret struggles have been fought. Do you really think that the Xiao family can be relied upon?"

Qin Yun was angry: "How dare you scare me!"

Wang Min was very calm, and said with burning eyes: "Your Majesty, this concubine is just telling the truth. I know that you don't like the Wang family's prosperity and meritorious deeds, but just imagine, if there is no Wang family, Daxia can still survive the wind and rain. In, have you come now?"

"Even if the Wang family disappears, isn't the Xiao family you supported the next Wang family?"
