Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

After hearing Xu An's words, Wu Xie fell silent.

He understood Xu An's meaning. He had already alerted the enemy. If he could not hit the target now, the people behind the trafficking case would definitely kill people and cut off all clues that could lead to them.

By then, many people would indeed die.

He could kill people for their grudges in the martial arts world.

But when it comes to the court, he could not do it as he did before.

"Damn, this is a bit beyond the scope. With my current ability, I can hardly do it."

Xu An also fell into deep thought.

"It's not safe to rely on the people in the government office to investigate alone."

"And I can't guarantee whether there are any of their people in the government office. If there are, it's easy for the news to leak out."

"But the only people I can use are the dozen people in Zhan Peng's government office..."

Xu An shook his head secretly. It would not be a big deal if he relied on those dozen people alone.

And the resistance was too great. Zhan Peng and his people would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Qin Xiaohu gave money, and the focus in the near future must be on Zhan Peng and his men."

"Then let them slow down the investigation and confuse the enemy."

Xu An knew that although Qin Xiaohu gave money, it was just a delaying tactic.

The other party needed more time to deal with the finality, and he also needed more time to investigate the case.

"When you are in doubt... you have to ask for help."

Xu An originally wanted to ask Xu Xiao when he was in doubt, but he thought of Xu Xiao's character and gave up.

If I ask him, he will probably ask Qin Xiaohu, right? It's not that troublesome, I will just send soldiers to crush him to death!

"Well, let Xu Xiao help investigate, I still have to solve it myself, this cheap father... is not very reliable."

Xu An decided to let Xu Xiao use his forces to investigate. As the Grand Marshal of the Daqian Army, he should have some of his own forces in the dark.

As for Emperor Yuan Kang... Xu An skipped it directly.

Although he has secret guards and Jinyi Guards.

But this old man is very bad. If you really go to him, who knows what trap he will dig for you.

"What do you want to do?"

Wu Xie's cold voice came.

"Now? Now of course it's a body search!"

Xu An hugged Rou'er tightly, and his hands began to get dishonest.

Rou'er's delicate body stiffened, and her pretty face suddenly blushed.

"Unfortunately, I have something to do today, so I can't go any further."

Xu An pinched Rou'er's perky part behind her and smiled: "Next time, Rou'er, remember to compensate me, the young master."

"And tell Song Yuyan that this young master has taken a fancy to her and is going to make a lot of money with her."

Xu An gathered his robes, turned his head and winked at Rou'er: "The two thousand taels, half of it is the betrothal gift from this young master to the beautiful Song, and the other half... is for your hush money."

Hush money?

Rou'er was stunned, and her pretty face changed slightly.

She knew that Xu An was talking about the content of his conversation with Qin Xiaohu just now.

"Okay, Rou'er will keep it a secret." Rou'er smiled and nodded.

"Wuxie, go back home."

Xu An glanced at the hot Song Yuyan on the stage, shook his head and walked away.

What a pity, if he wasn't in a hurry to go back, he would have tried to flirt with such a beautiful woman... Hiss, it hurts me to death.

He was still thinking about good things the previous second, and the next second Xu An was grinning in pain and almost fell to the ground.

Damn, the butt ointment got on my pants!

...

The palace.

"Hahaha..."

The devilish laughter of Emperor Yuan Kang almost shook the rubble of Shulan Palace away.

"Empress, I like this little guy more and more now. This little bastard is really my lucky star."

"I originally wanted to use him to make trouble so that I could deal with Du Ruhua and others and regain control of the Ministry of Revenue, but I didn't expect this little bastard to exceed the task."

"He actually used a piece of wood to expose the administrative problems that bothered me the most, and also gave corresponding rectification policies."

"Let the officials from various places come back to take the exam again, haha, this trick is simply wonderful."

"Not only can those bad apples be expelled, but also break Zhao Si's layout in various places over the years."

"From this plan, this kid has the qualifications to be crowned king and appointed prime minister!"

When the queen saw her husband in high spirits, the corners of her lips could not help but rise slightly.

These days, she saw the emperor smile more than in the past few years combined.

In the past few years, sometimes even if he smiled, it was just to deal with the ministers and children.

But now his smile is sincere and genuine, and the one who created all this is the lazy little bastard from the Xu family.

This little guy is really very capable!

"But he also used a piece of wood to hit the court and your majesty in public."

The queen lowered her head to do needlework and snorted coldly:"And this little bastard did this with bad intentions."

Emperor Yuan Kang's smile suddenly froze.

Then, his face gradually became cold.

"It's a bit embarrassing, but compared to reviving the government, what does my face matter?"

"The most important thing is that I'm embarrassed, and that's the fault of the civil and military officials in the court. I can take this opportunity to deal with them."

"For example, today, several of Zhao Si's confidants were replaced at once. It was worth it."

"The Ministry of Revenue controls the money of the world. It collects taxes every year, but the Ministry of Revenue has no money every year. The world is plagued by disasters every year, and the people are living in poverty. There are rebellions everywhere in the world."

"I know very well that this is caused by their private increase of various harsh taxes, but in the end it all became the people's fault!"

"I know, but I dare not govern, because I must complete the centralization of power before I have enough power to root out the local problems."

At this point, the emperor's cold face gradually softened.

"Before, I didn't fight with Zhao Si and let him become powerful because I wanted to support Xu Xiao."

"Xu Xiao didn't disappoint me. Most of the army of Daqian is under his control, so I'm not afraid of them now. Even if they rebel against the whole world, what can they do?"

"As long as the army is in my hands, it will only take a moment to quell the civil strife after the centralization of power is completed."

The queen bit off the thread and looked up at Emperor Yuan Kang: "Although the start is not bad, Your Majesty should not be careless."

"Among the people who were replaced, except Du Ruhua, who is still a person, Qin De Hai, Zhang Anshi is nothing but a waste. "

"The six ministers, the ministers, and the nobles of Kyoto are still hiding behind the scenes and have not taken action... The real storm has not yet begun."

Emperor Yuan Kang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "This is what I am worried about. The storm is coming, so Xu An, this little bastard... What's wrong with letting his conspiracy succeed?"

The queen snorted coldly and gritted her teeth and said: "What do you mean by letting his conspiracy succeed? In order to be a prodigal son, he did not hesitate to provoke conflicts between your majesty and the ministers. His crime is unforgivable."

"Sun Kuohai, go and catch that little bastard and bring him to the palace for me."
