Reborn Big Sister eats melon with her left hand and raises her baby with her right hand

Emperor Yong'an hoped that the Imperial Master would reach an agreement with the resentful ghosts by then and not torture him any more.

The national teacher readily agreed, but as to whether he could satisfy the resentful ghosts, that depended on Yunmeng.

After the matter was settled, Emperor Yong'an did not rush to leave, but asked the imperial teacher to help him pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits.

Yunmeng saw that the Imperial Master had handled the matter well and that he could also extort some money from Emperor Yong'an, so he happily left the palace and returned to the prince's mansion.

Yunmeng was able to leave, but the Imperial Master could not. He had to pray for blessings and exorcise evil spirits for Emperor Yong'an, and he was busy until dawn before Emperor Yong'an left.

There was no grand court meeting today, so Emperor Yong'an returned to his bedroom to rest. He forgot about going to court to work and review memorials, as he needed a good rest.

Some people were worried because Emperor Yong'an did not attend court. Those ministers who were threatened by the Left Prime Minister and had to plead for him all looked dejected.

They thought that if they stuck their heads out, they would be cut by the knife, and if they hid their heads, they would also be cut by the knife, so they decided to submit the memorial quickly and wait for Emperor Yong'an's knife.

In the end, Daozi didn't arrive, but instead he got a piece of news: Emperor Yong'an's private vault had been emptied!

This is the imperial palace. Who has the ability to empty the emperor's private treasury? Do you want to give up your job here?

The most outrageous thing is that there was a rumor that it was a ghost that moved away. Who would believe this?

But after careful consideration, he found it credible because the palace was not the residence of their ministers, and they knew very well how strict the palace's defenses were.

To exaggerate a little, even a mosquito couldn't fly out. In this case, how could the emperor's private treasury be lost?

Some people also thought of the Qiankun bag, believing that Cheng Miaomiao entered the palace to take revenge on Emperor Yongan and emptied Emperor Yongan’s private vault.

Anyway, no matter what, they all confirmed one piece of news, that is, the emperor's private treasury was empty.

Emperor Yong'an came to the small court meeting with a gloomy face. After sitting down, he glanced around sharply. Anyone could see that the emperor was in a bad mood.

If anyone offends the emperor at this time, I'm afraid the day will end badly.

Eunuch Qiao stepped forward and shouted, "If you have something to say, report it early. If not, leave the court!"

After shouting three times, no minister came forward to make a speech. They exchanged glances, signaling the other to go first.

Emperor Yong'an waited for a while, then asked leisurely, "Everyone loves chatting, is there anything else to talk about?"

For some reason, when the ministers heard the cold whistling sound of a knife, they always felt that the emperor wanted to kill them.

"Lin Ailiao, you and the Left Prime Minister are in-laws, so don't you have anything to say?" Emperor Yong'an asked by name.

"I am terrified." Lord Lin immediately walked out of his seat and knelt in the hall. He stuffed the memorial in his hand into his sleeve and said loudly:

"I really don't know anything about the Left Prime Minister. Although I am related to him by birth, our relationship is not harmonious."

Lord Lin rolled his eyes and immediately defended himself, "Your Majesty, you don't know that my daughter has been through a hard time in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion."

When he was moved, Lord Lin's eyes turned red and he told like a woman about his daughter's hard life in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion.

To be honest, life was really hard. Not only did we eat poorly, we wore poorly too, and the gifts we brought back home to visit our relatives were the worst.

And all this was caused by the old lady in the Zuo Xiangfu Mansion. The old lady was a money-grubbing slave. Not only did she deduct the dowry of her daughter-in-law, she also calculated the dowry of her grandson's daughter-in-law.

You won’t know until you tell me, and once I tell me, I’m filled with tears.

Lord Lin's performance was very successful and reminded Emperor Yong'an of the day when the Left Prime Minister's Mansion held a banquet. Indeed, the banquet was so bad, and one didn't know how bad it would be in private.

Fortunately, the deducted money all went to him, no, it all went to the thief!

Emperor Yong'an felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe when he thought about his private treasury being emptied again.

Damn it, don’t let him know who did it, otherwise, his entire family will be wiped out.

Thinking of annihilating the entire family, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Did you find Cheng Miaomiao?"

When Minister Wei heard the question, he hurried forward to answer. Cheng Miaomiao had not been found yet. The woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

We searched so many people's homes last night and did find something, but they were all small finds. We didn't find Haru, and neither did Cheng Miaomiao.

Finally, Wei Shangshu pleaded guilty, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Please punish me."

Emperor Yong'an said nothing, but just stared coldly at Minister Wei, which made Minister Wei lower his head even more. He instinctively felt that he had to take the blame.

No, it wasn't him who stole from the emperor's private treasury, so why should he take the blame? If anyone should be blamed, it should be Cheng Jijiu.

Don't think that everything will be fine after you retire, that's impossible. Since Cheng Miaomiao committed a crime, let's kill Cheng Jijiu as a sacrifice to heaven.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan." Minister Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly:

"I suggest that Cheng Jijiu's family be taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded in public.

Firstly, if Cheng Miaomiao has any conscience and still has a little bit of father-daughter affection, he will come to the execution ground to rescue her, and I will make sure he never returns.

Secondly, if Cheng Miaomiao did not come to the execution ground, it would mean that Cheng Miaomiao was selfish and had no humanity.

We can condemn him in public opinion and morality, so that she will lose the support of the people and lose her support. Then there will be no place for her to stay in Kyoto."

Emperor Yong'an did not comment after hearing this, but since there was no other choice, this was the last resort.

What if, let’s say, Cheng Miaomiao was caught, Emperor Yong’an couldn’t help but hold out a glimmer of hope.

Soon, Minister Wei left the hall to make arrangements. When the others saw the gleam of envy in their eyes, they also wanted to leave.

Emperor Yong'an swept his cold eyes over the ministers in front of him, and the list given by the imperial teacher flashed through his mind.

If he wanted to take those things out of the national treasury, I'm afraid the Ministry of Revenue would not agree. But if he didn't take them from the national treasury, his private treasury would be emptied again.

So where does the money come from?

Emperor Yong'an's eyes fell on Duke Dingguo. This bastard was not a loyal minister. Which prince did Duke Dingguo want to protect last time?

Oops, I can’t remember. Never mind. That’s not important. What’s important is that Duke Dingguo’s Mansion is rich.

Now that they are fattened up, let’s kill them.

Emperor Yong'an had an idea in his mind, and immediately gave Eunuch Qiao a look, asking him to make the arrangements. Today he was going to raid the house of Duke Dingguo.

In the past, when the homes of other ministers were raided, a lot of money would be lost. This time, Emperor Yong'an decided to send his own confidants to do the work.

After Duke Dingguo overthrew the Left Prime Minister, he was indeed in great glory, and there seemed to be a tendency for him to replace the Left Prime Minister.

There was calculation in the eyes when he looked at the ministers of Zuo Xiang's lineage. If that lineage still didn't get closer to him, then don't blame him for being rude.

Only when they all fall can Duke Dingguo place more of his own people in power.

This is the officialdom, this is the struggle, and Duke Dingguo does not feel the slightest bit of guilt when he schemes against his opponents.

If the atmosphere today wasn't wrong, Duke Dingguo would have wanted to detain the Left Prime Minister's favorite student and have him accompany the Left Prime Minister.

As for those who wanted to plead for the Left Prime Minister, well, Duke Dingguo hung his old face and said that he would settle accounts with them one by one in the future, and anyone who did not bow to him would be killed.
