Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

"How is this possible?" The Dali Temple Minister took a long time to find his voice.

He was originally only a fourth-rank official in the Ministry of Justice. Because of his disagreement with Chu Jiang, he was demoted to be a prefect. He had a very good reputation in the local area, so Yin Jinan promoted him to be the Minister of the Dali Temple.

He felt that the image of these powerful people in the capital had shattered to the ground. They were not powerful people at all, they were murderers and ungrateful beasts.

When Jiutian was about to report the names of the names by pinching her fingers, Yin Jinan suddenly stopped her and said, "You can only report the main ones, and give the rest to Lord Qi (Qi Songliang, the Minister of the Dali Temple)."

Qi Songliang immediately promised: "Yes, I will find out all the thieves."

"Emperor Yangsheng, Chu Hanhua, Chu Jiang, Cui Yingxiong (Minister Cui), the Ninth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince... Chunyu Hualong, Guo Taian..."

About ten people were reported in nine days.

They are all top dignitaries in this capital city.

Wang Can was speechless at the moment and just looked at Yin Jinan quietly.

Yin Jinan had no feelings for Wei Mu. He had no feelings for Lady Song, the wife of Duke Xun Guo in his previous life. He and Wei Mu were only mother and son in form.

However, given his current position and identity, he must avenge Wei Mu's unjust death.

How should he report it? Should he make it public that his biological mother was eaten by an ungrateful person?

This is a huge shame and will go down in history.

But if we don't talk about the actual situation and only talk about killing people, it would make him appear bloodthirsty, narrow-minded, and intolerant.

"Lord Wang, Lord Qi, Lord Gu, you should secretly monitor these families and find out all their properties and families. Start with the royal family."

If we start with the royal family, other noble families and officials will not be too vigilant. They will just think it is a conspiracy and palace fighting.

Qi Songliang, Wang Can, Gu Bahuang and the others left. Yin Jinan looked at the shaky Wei Mama and said to Xiahou Yan, "Please arrange two palace maids for Wei Mama. She is old and needs someone to take care of her. If she gets sick or has a disaster, she should be treated in time."

Xiahou Yan went to arrange the people, Jiu Tian asked Yin Jin'an: "Why didn't Second Uncle ask me to report the list of names?"

"It will definitely be bad for you if you talk too much. Can you name a few of the main ones? If they still can't follow the clues, such an official is not worthy of being promoted, right?"

Revenge must be taken, but killing so many people at once would definitely leave him with a reputation for cruelty, and his mother was eaten by someone, and this matter really could not be made public.

What if some perverted person, such as those from the Liao Dynasty, the Uighurs, or the powerful people in the capital, spreads a rumor that Yin Jinan's flesh and blood can improve intelligence and is also a magic medicine?

Everyone is destined to die, but I don’t want to die so miserably.

The list was drawn up, Yin Jinan looked at it and circled the Ninth Prince's name.

Let’s start with the Ninth Prince!

He said to Xiahou Yan: "Go and inform the Ninth Prince that I will go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion tomorrow. I want to visit the Ninth Prince's uncle."

When Xiahou Yan informed the Ninth Prince one day in advance that his Majesty would come to visit, the Ninth Prince was very surprised.

He handed Xiahou Yan a few ingots of silver and asked why His Majesty came to visit.

How could Xiahou Yan tell him the truth? He smiled and said, "You are His Majesty's uncle, so His Majesty will naturally be closer to the prince."

"Will Your Majesty visit the other princes?"

"meeting."

The Ninth Prince couldn't help but put on airs and snorted, "I thought he was going to chop me off, too."

"Your Majesty needs the support of the prince."

After Xiahou Yan left, the Ninth Prince was very proud and said to his eldest son Xiao Yuanrong: "So what if he becomes the emperor? So what if he forces his brother to abdicate? If he can sit in that position, others can do it too."

Xiao Yuanrong also looked down on Yin Jinan and sneered, "Even if he is not stupid, how many connections does he have? He can only rely on those puppets of the Spirit Clan. Governing a country is not like fighting a war. It is difficult to conquer a country, and it is even more difficult to keep it."

The Ninth Prince told him to be careful with his words, and both father and son looked at him with disdain, but Yin Jinan was the emperor after all, and they did not dare to be disrespectful blatantly. At the very least, they wanted to see what the purpose of his Majesty's visit to the palace was.

The Ninth Prince quickly contacted the few old princes who were still alive. Those old princes had already fallen during the time of Emperor Yang Sheng. The Ninth Prince usually looked down on them, but now he needed them to take sides.

After a discussion, the old princes decided that they did not seek wealth and honor, but only peace. As long as the new emperor gave them some royal treatment, they did not want to make any trouble.

Everyone decided to see Yin Jinan's attitude first. If his attitude was good, they would offer some food, gold, silver and treasures. If Yin Jinan was not sensible, then don't blame them for being rude.

The next day, the morning court was cancelled and Yin Jinan went to the Ninth Prince's Palace.

The State of Qi had just been established, and its first prime minister Chu Jiang was from Huainan, so the guard of honor and etiquette of Western Xia basically followed those of the Yulong Kingdom.

Yin Jinan’s guard of honor was majestic and magnificent.

When the Luan Emperor travels, the distance from the Imperial Palace to the Ninth Prince's Palace is only four miles, and the ceremonial guard can reach the Ninth Prince's Palace in a short time after leaving the palace.

But the people on the street were very excited, and everyone wanted to see the new emperor... It was said that his majesty was the most handsome man in the world, and neither the Emperor Chen nor the Crown Prince of Yulong Kingdom could compare to him.

However, the phoenix carriage was everywhere and the guards were so dense that the common people could not see the emperor's face. Even the Ninth Prince and his men could not see it because His Majesty was still wearing a mask.

Yin Jinan led Jiuxia down the phoenix carriage, and the Ninth Prince, the Ninth Princess, Xiao Yuanrong and people from all the rooms and courtyards came out to greet them at the gate of the mansion.

When they saw Yin Jinan and Jiutian coming down, they all knelt down and saluted.

The Ninth Princess looked at Jiutian, held out a top-grade jade ruyi to her with both hands, and said respectfully, "Long live Princess Longxiong."

Yin Jinan asked Jiutian: "Do you like it?"

Jiu Tian said with a smile: "Princess Jiu, you are too polite."

She gestured to the palace maid behind her, "Take it. This is a token of the Ninth Princess's heart."

When the Ninth Prince's wife saw that she accepted it, Yin Jin'an did not object and was overjoyed. This jade ruyi was worth a lot of money. The fact that Princess Longxiong accepted it showed that His Majesty and the Ninth Prince's Mansion were truly sincere in their friendship.

Every room in the Ninth Prince's Mansion has floor heating. As soon as you enter the house, you will feel warm and comfortable. It is almost the same as the Imperial Palace. He is indeed the richest of all the princes.

"Your Majesty is visiting the palace today. If you have any orders, I will do them even if it means death." The Ninth Prince is Yin Jinan's uncle in name, but they are also monarch and subject.

If the king leaves the court and runs to his home, something must be wrong.

Yin Jinan said, "To be honest with Uncle Ninth Prince, I am good at killing people, but I am not good at governing the country. I have exchanged opinions with my father these days and found that he used to rely more on that thief, Prime Minister Chu, and he couldn't give me any strategy for governing the country. After discussing with the court officials, I decided to ask Uncle Prince and my cousin to help me."

When the Ninth Prince and Xiao Yuanrong heard this, they were overjoyed and their backs straightened immediately. Your Majesty is indeed sensible and has seen the strength of the Ninth Prince's Mansion!

The father and son hastened to express their loyalty, saying that they would certainly not let His Majesty down.

Seeing their respect, Yin Jinan said, "Then my uncle and my cousin will draft a memorial and submit it to me. I will rule the world with my uncle and prosper the Xiao family."

The Ninth Prince let down his guard a little at this point.

Yin Jinan dismissed everyone around him and whispered, "Uncle Wang, there is a very urgent matter right now. I don't trust anyone else. After thinking about it, only Uncle Wang is the most suitable."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"I have some connections with His Majesty Emperor Chen of Yulong State. He gave me many thunderbolts as gifts. Now he has given me a batch of new thunderbolts, which are more powerful and safer. I am really worried about others taking this kind of weapon, so it is best for my uncle to take it for me."

Xiao Yuanrong asked excitedly, "Is it the powerful weapon that the Yulong Kingdom envoy used during the last siege?"

"Exactly."

"Your Majesty, all countries are eager to get such weapons. If we have such weapons, why should we be afraid of the Liao Dynasty and the Uighurs?"

"I thought so too. The Uighurs have been driven out, but the Liao army is still at the border, so I want to make a concerted effort to drive the Liao army back to their lair." Yin Jinan said, "This is a serious matter, please keep it secret."

The Ninth Prince and Xiao Yuanrong were both extremely excited.

Of course they knew the importance of this weapon and of course they kept it secret.

The news of this weapon must never be leaked, not to other nobles and aristocratic families in Qi, nor to the Liao army or Uighur bandits.

What’s more important is that the Ninth Prince wants this weapon so badly!

He and Xiao Yuanrong thought at the same time: get these weapons and make them theirs.

The Ninth Prince asked, "Your Majesty, when and where did you and Emperor Chen agree to take it?"

"I have an appointment with him to meet at the border of Changhe Town and Qi State at the end of March. Qi State has just been established and there is a lot of work to be done. I really can't leave.

Uncle Wang, brothers fight together to fight tigers, and fathers and sons fight together in battle. The weapons are too important this time, and I cannot trust outsiders. I wonder if Uncle Wang and my cousin are willing to go on a trip for me?"

"If I can help your majesty, I will die for you."

The two sides hit it off immediately.

Yin Jinan's words made sense. He was familiar with the clay pot thunder, so the Ninth Prince and Xiao Yuanrong had no doubts at all.

The Ninth Prince and his eldest son Xiao Yuanrong were overjoyed and readily agreed to the task.

This matter is extremely important. If His Majesty asks them and they do not agree, they will probably die. Only the dead can keep the secret.

Besides, they also wanted to go and get this kind of weapon very much.

He immediately asked Yin Jinan anxiously who he wanted to send with them?

Yin Jinan said, "I will send my personal guards and my uncle to go with me. Emperor Chen sent me a total of 500 thunderbolts, which will be loaded into about ten carts. My uncle and my cousin will bring absolutely reliable soldiers and horses, and disguise themselves as a caravan to avoid attracting attention."

The Ninth Prince was even happier. He took his own soldiers with him and looked for an opportunity to kill the emperor's guards on the way back. Then the weapons would be theirs.

After Yin Jin'an and Jiutian returned to the court, Xiahou Yan came to report: "The Ninth Prince's Mansion presented Your Majesty with 100,000 dan of grain and five large boxes of various jewels, gold and silver."

"Oh, you still want to confuse me." Yin Jin'an sneered, "Have you arranged everything for the journey?"

"arranged."

Yin Jinan leaned back in his chair, looking at the sunlight outside, a cold smile forming at the corners of his lips.

The whole story about taking the Heavenly Thunder Weapon was just a lie I made up just to expose the cards of the Ninth Prince, Xiao Yuanrong and the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Didn't you eat Wei Mu's flesh and blood to achieve immortality? This time I'll test whether you are immortal.
