Quickly wear "I am the empress"

After a while, all the assassins in black were knocked to the ground by Gan Tang. Liu De also brought people at this time. He is the governor of Chang'an. He is responsible for the security of the entire Chang'an city. Now that Zhiyu was assassinated, he also lost something. crime of duty.

"My lord, are you okay?"

Seeing Liu De coming in a hurry with a worried look on his face, Zhiyu shook his head, pointed to the black-clothed assassin lying on the ground and said: "Send them all to the Ministry of Punishment and tell Wang Ba that no matter what method is used, we must find out who is behind the scenes." The one who gives orders.”

"Yes."

After receiving Zhiyu's instructions, Liu De respectfully responded and waved his hands to take the assassin away.

"Your Majesty, this is a low-level official who failed in his duty. Do you still want your Majesty to punish you?"

Zhiyu waved his hand, "It's none of your business. If I take action against aristocratic families, they would already dislike me."

"The aristocratic family is so powerful that it is impossible to guard against it. Send more people to patrol and don't let them run rampant."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Hearing that Zhiyu had been assassinated, Mrs. Guo inside the palace was greatly frightened. Before Zhiyu returned to the palace, she was already waiting at the entrance of the palace, followed by a large group of imperial doctors.

Seeing this, Zhiyu shook her head helplessly and said with a warm face: "Mom, I'm fine."

"Those people were all taken care of by Gantang."

Guo Fu looked Zhiyu up and down. Seeing that Zhiyu was really fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Azhi, just be fine."

"My mother just heard that you were assassinated, and her heart was in a state of panic."

Zhiyu patted Mrs. Guo's hand in a comforting manner and held her hand, "Mom, my child is fine. Now I will go find out the details of the assassin. My mother will go back to the harem and wait for me. I will go to my mother later." Say hello."

Mrs. Guo nodded palely, "Okay, you must be safe."

Zhiyu nodded, "Don't worry, mom, this is our territory, nothing will happen."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo gave up and said, "Okay, state affairs are important, A Zhi, you go and do your work first."

Zhiyu responded with a smile and led a group of people directly to the study. At the same time, he also sent people out of the palace to summon the left and right prime ministers.

Mrs. Guo looked at Zhiyu's hurried away figure and sighed sadly. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Misfortunes depend on blessings, and blessings depend on misfortunes. A Zhi is now promising, but danger also accompanies her...

"Prime Minister Deng, second cousin, I am going to take advantage of this assassination to take action against the noble family."

After hearing Zhiyu's words, Deng Yu and Guo Kuang looked at each other, nodded and said, "But it depends on the prince's orders."

Seeing that the two expressed their stance, Zhiyu called them forward and secretly arranged a task for them.

After leaving the imperial study, Deng Yu and Guo Kuang had a big argument in the street before they got home. The quarrel between the two young prime ministers attracted countless people to watch. In the end, Liu De sent someone to Advise the two of them to go back.

When everyone saw that the two prime ministers, who were usually as close as brothers, were quarreling fiercely, they were suddenly curious. What was going on? This made the two of them quarrel red-faced regardless of their usual friendship.

Of course, you don’t need to go out of your way to inquire. As long as you listen carefully to a few sentences, you will be able to understand what the two prime ministers were quarreling over.

All in all, the prince was assassinated today, and Prime Minister Guo was furious. He felt that after finding out the person behind the scenes, he would definitely punish the nine clans as a tribute to others. However, Prime Minister Deng believed that doing so would shake the foundation of the country, and when the prince first arrived in Chang'an, If mass killings are committed, public sentiment may be unstable.

After knowing the reason for the quarrel between the two prime ministers, the people talked a lot and felt that Guo Kuang was right. All those who assassinated the prince should be killed.

They have lived a hard life for so many years, and now they have finally met such a good and wise prince as the prince. They don’t want anything to happen to the prince...

After the two prime ministers left, Zhiyu silently summoned Wang Ba from the Ministry of Punishment and asked him to cooperate with Deng Yu to secretly collect evidence of the family's crimes.

The storm was about to come, and Chang'an City fell into silence after Zizhiyu was assassinated. This state lasted for half a month.

During this period, the two prime ministers had been in a state of incompatibility. Even in the court, the two would turn away when they saw each other.

Zhiyu has always had a cold-looking attitude towards this, and sometimes adds fuel to the fire from time to time, which intensifies the conflict between the two.

Although people do not feel the undercurrents in the classroom directly, they can still get a glimpse of it. The simplest way to spy is from the storytellers who can be found everywhere in the streets.

Looking at the talkative storyteller on the stage, the people secretly cursed that there was something wrong with Deng Yu. When the prince was assassinated, what was wrong with killing the person who arranged the assassination? He actually stopped him. I don't know what he was thinking. .

"If you ask me, this Prime Minister Deng might be in the same group as those assassins. Otherwise, why wouldn't he agree to Prime Minister Guo's proposal?"

In a simple restaurant, a bearded man took a sip of wine and complained in a daze.

After hearing this, a big man sitting next to him looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. Then he shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. Didn't Prime Minister Deng say he was afraid of shaking people's hearts?"

"Ha ha."

"What shakes the hearts of the people? Our hearts are all towards the prince, and we all hope that the prince can take revenge."

"If the prince cannot take revenge, we will be aggrieved. The prince is so kind, and I don't know who is short-sighted enough to send someone to assassinate her. She should be punished by the Nine Clan."

As public opinion turned towards Zhiyu, Deng Yu secretly came into contact with many aristocratic families.

Half a month later, looking at the list of aristocratic families sent by Deng Yu in her hand, Zhiyu smiled lightly. Since the people supported her revenge, she was going to "retaliate".

The next day, a shocking news suddenly broke out in the court that had been silent for a long time. Liu De, the Governor of Chang'an City, and Wang Ba, the Minister of Punishment, wrote a letter stating that the people identified by the assassins and ordered to assassinate them were several aristocratic families under the rule of Prince Ding.

Hearing the news, Zhiyu was furious and immediately ordered Guo Kuang to lead people to arrest these people.

At the same time, Wang Ba, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, said that he had found out in recent days that many aristocratic families were working against the common people, bullying the countryside, and making the people live in dire straits.

After Wang Ba finished speaking, he also presented the evidence he had found.

After Zhiyu read the contents of the book, he scolded the family for being ruthless and not caring about the people. He immediately sent people to put all the families who committed crimes into the sky prison.

Zhiyu's actions directly wiped out all the first-rate and second-rate aristocratic families in the Central Plains, and other small aristocratic families instantly became panicked.

It's not that people from these aristocratic families have never thought of resisting, but the crimes Zhiyu convicts them of are all reasonable. It's just that no one held them accountable in the past. Now that Zhiyu pursues them, none of these aristocratic families are innocent.

In order to appease the people, the people from the Ministry of Punishment announced all the bad things done by these aristocratic families. For fear that people would not be able to read, Wang Ba also specially arranged for storytellers to explain the bad things done by these aristocratic families.
