Guan Di didn't have time to put on his bamboo hat, so he got on his horse and hurried to the palace with tens of thousands of blood letters in his arms.

The rain and snow hit his face, which hurt like a knife. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, slapped the horse's back hard, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped along the palace road.

……

King Li heard that there were refugees entering the capital with tens of thousands of blood letters, and he was very surprised: "How did you do it?! Didn't everyone who came to the capital in the past stop them? Why didn't they stop them this time? Everyone has already arrived in the capital. Got it!"

These country bumpkins from Jiangning, Xihai, and Northern Xinjiang often come to Beijing to work, but they are stopped in time every time. This makes them dare to act recklessly in the local area, amass money wantonly, and dominate the local area.

"Your Majesty, in the past, when someone came to Beijing to accuse, the commotion was huge, but this time, this refugee came to Beijing quietly, and the spies didn't even find out about it, so my subordinates really have no way of knowing. "Chu Qi spread his hands helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the blood book of ten thousand people is now in the hands of the commander of the Wude Department. I heard that Guandi has gone to the palace. Do you want to send someone to intercept it?"

King Li raised his leg and kicked Chu Qi hard on the butt, causing him to stagger and almost fall to the ground: "Idiot, go quickly! You must stop him by me!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates will go now!" Chu Qi crawled out and ordered people to stop Guandi. He thought about it and was not in such a hurry. Even if he rushed to the palace, it would be a waste of time. It's evening, and His Majesty may not see him.

What they didn't expect was that six commanders came out from the Wude Division. All six of them were wearing the clothes of the commanders and riding fast horses. The troops divided into six groups and rushed to the palace.

The people from the Chu Seven Sect had to follow these six people respectively, but the two sides were equally powerful. In the end, only three people were intercepted, and they were all fake commanders of the Wude Division. They didn't even see the real Guan Di.

"My lord, my subordinates are incompetent and couldn't stop all the people. The weather is too bad and I can't see the people clearly! There are three more commanders entering the palace! We can't do anything in the palace!"

Chu Qi was anxious and angry. What was going on every day?

King Li paced back and forth anxiously: "Hurry up and send someone to the palace to find the concubine. Please find a way to stop these three people!"

Damn Guandi, I really underestimate you!In such an emergency situation, would you think of using a cover-up method? !

In the palace, after Concubine Wan got the news, she immediately led people to the palace gate, but she was still a step too late. By the time she arrived at the palace gate, Guan Di had already arrived at the Zichen Hall.

Concubine Wan could only sigh, and there was nothing she could do. She was no longer favored by His Majesty, and even going to the Zichen Palace was of no use.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to Your Majesty!" Guan Di knelt at the door of Zichen Hall. Li Youcai saw that it was him and knew that he was a good official, so he hurried in to report.

Xuanzheng was eating soup, looking at the memorial, lamenting that the weather outside was so bad, and the people were going to suffer again. Hearing Li Youcai say that Guan Di braved such heavy rain and snow to enter the palace, he must have something important, so he put down Soup, wiped his mouth: "Come in, I'll give you a seat."

After Guan Di saluted and said hello, he handed over the blood letter of ten thousand people in his arms. He spoke sincerely. In recent years, the people of Jiangning have been in dire straits. Officials have colluded with corruption and perverted the law to plunder people's wealth and anointing in the name of the imperial court.

He also presented some evidence that had been collected.

"Since your Majesty came to the throne, the country of Northern Chu has been strong and the people have become prosperous. The people have all praised your Majesty as a wise king who is rare to see in a thousand years. He is the only emperor in the ages, a peerless wise king, and the lucky star of our Northern Chu! But these officials who have no conscience are actually... It is really shameful and hateful to do such a thing and ruin His Majesty’s wisdom regardless of the foundation of our country, Northern Chu!”

Guan Di clenched his fists and spoke with indignation.

He knew that Xuan Zheng might not have such strong sympathy for the common people's lack of clothing, displacement, hunger and poverty, but what he must care about most is his own reputation, and whether he can leave a mark in the history books after his death. With one stroke, could the world praise him as the emperor?

"Is there such a thing?!"

After Xuan Zheng read the book written with thousands of blood, his lips trembled with anger.

"Since we discovered this before, why didn't we report it?!" Xuan Zheng asked, looking at the evidence.

"I am panic-stricken. This evidence points directly to the current court official. There is insufficient evidence, so I dare not act rashly." Guan Di knelt on the ground and kowtowed. His clothes were still dripping, making the floor wet.

Seeing this, Xuan Zheng waved his hand and ordered Li Youcai to move the brazier to Guan Di's side.

"In your opinion, what should be done about this matter?" Xuan Zheng closed the blood book with a "snap" and threw it on the table.

"Back to Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, a thorough investigation should be carried out! To be honest, I rushed from Wudesi to the palace, and encountered assassins one after another along the way. Even in the palace, some people tried to stop me, etc. Those actions that are daring, blinding the Holy Spirit, and deceiving the emperor will never be tolerated!"

When Xuan Zheng heard this, he was even more outraged. In order to suppress this matter, he dared to stop people in the palace?Do you really think that the emperor is dead? !

"Tomorrow morning, I will order a thorough investigation into this matter!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Guan Aiqing, please stay in the side hall to rest tonight." Xuan Zheng said while rubbing his temples.

Guan Di kowtowed and thanked him, knowing that His Majesty was protecting his safety.If he leaves the palace and encounters an assassin on his way back to Guan Mansion, his life or death will be uncertain.

"Your Majesty, over there in the Guan Mansion..." When Guan Di got the blood letter of ten thousand people, he rushed to the palace with excitement in his heart. He actually forgot about Yun Yishu and Rong'er in the Guan Mansion. If he had If they don't go back tonight, they will definitely be worried.

"Don't worry, I will let someone tell them so that they won't worry."

The palace sent someone to the Guan Mansion to inform Mrs. Guan that His Majesty had left Mr. Guan behind and would stay in the palace tonight, so that they did not have to worry.

Before that, Xuan Ming had sent some secret guards to guard around Guan Mansion, and asked someone to send a message to Yun Yishu. Guan Di had entered the palace for the sake of Jiangning's disaster and refugees, so that she could rest assured and raise her baby with peace of mind.

……

In the morning of the next day, Xuan Zheng lost his temper in the court hall. He had worked hard for half a lifetime to be praised by the people as "one emperor for eternity". Now, because of the disaster in the south, his good reputation was ruined.

He hated that this matter had become such a big deal, and that the local officials used the guise of the imperial court to collect taxes, but none of the money got into the hands of the imperial court. He even hated the governors, and the inspectors and censors for not investigating it earlier. These things have caused public resentment to boil over today.

Xuan Zheng's overwhelming anger frightened all the officials to kneel on the ground and did not dare to speak. After King Li and Concubine Wan were punished, everyone pushed down the wall. However, Wan Dexian was an all-rounder and handled matters in the court with ease. He bribed officials and held a The handle for all the imperial officials.Even when things happened to Wang Li, Wan Shun and Wan Yao, they couldn't implicate him.
