Then there is no more

Yin Liqun was one of Emperor Xianwu's former confidants.

If it weren't for his confidant, Emperor Xianwu would dare to put him in the position of Xunyan Yushi.

Salt is the cornerstone of a nation.To obtain a high degree of centralization, it is not enough to master the army, and salt is also the top priority.However, most of the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River colluded with the local tycoons, and they did a good job of deception. How much profit went into the pockets of the local tycoons every year, this is all to show the flesh of Emperor Wu!Why did Shen Yi not dare to disclose it to the public when she invented the drying salt method?Because the sun-dried salt method came out, the production of salt was greatly increased, which would break the situation where salt was firmly controlled by many salt merchants and the forces behind them, and push Shen Yi to the opposite of the salt merchants.

For the time being, Shen Yi doesn't have that much energy to fight against them.

Yin Liqun was upright and yet tactful. After he became the censor of the salt inspection, he helped Emperor Xianwu sort out some chaos in the salt field in the south of the Yangtze River to a large extent.However, the typical ones that he took to operate were still some small salt merchants. When he wanted to sharpen his sword and rush towards those big salt merchants, he himself stood on the cliff.It can be said that Yin Liqun has no weaknesses. He has no relatives or friends as weaknesses, he is not greedy for money and lust, and he is not afraid of death. He has the support of the emperor behind him... However, he died in the end, and died of an unacceptable condition. disease.

Over the years, when Emperor Xianwu thought of Yin Liqun, he sometimes felt that Yin Liqun should not be that kind of greedy person, and sometimes felt that Yin Liqun had failed his trust.After Yin Liqun's death, Emperor Xianwu's series of arrangements for Jiangnan were disrupted, and he had to start all over again.

At this time, Princess Anding told Emperor Xianwu another truth, the so-called visceral disease was just a poisoning effect.

Emperor Xianwu was surprisingly angry.

Back then, Yin Liqun died at the hands of Jiangnan tyrants, so the exchange of tributes this time must have something to do with them.But how could Emperor Xianwu be afraid of them!He gradually calmed down, thanked the eldest princess, and returned to the palace with Yushan tea and the peaches that were rewarded to Bian Jingyu.

Outsiders only know that the Eldest Princess has recovered from an illness, but they don't know that many hidden schemes have been exposed.

Who is the hunter and who is the prey, quietly reversed.Emperor Xianwu didn't alarm anyone, and watched coldly as the people behind the scenes laid out a line for transporting poisonous vegetables and fruits to the East Palace, and then followed this line to pull out all the cancerous tumors hidden in the dark.

The packaged peaches and tea leaves, as well as the vegetables and fruits that were subsequently packaged were sent to the death row, where several heinous prisoners on death row ate them every day.They didn't respond at first, and after eating for several days, they showed symptoms of inexplicable trance and inexplicable excitement.

This matched Yin Liqun's pulse case at the beginning!Yin Liqun's death is indeed suspicious!

Thinking that his beloved crown prince was about to die of "dirty-disease", Emperor Xianwu suddenly felt that the people behind the scenes could be punished!

When the people behind the scenes thought they had the chance to win, Emperor Xianwu's counterattack had already begun.Emperor Xianwu felt that Princess Dachang was right, that Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi were indeed his lucky stars.Otherwise, the prince must fold in this time.And if the storage position is turbulent, the whole country will be turbulent.

However, many things are going on in secret, it is not easy for the emperor to reward Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi publicly for the time being.

The emperor didn't summon Bian Jingyu very often recently, but pointed him to the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, who was a fifth-rank official.Bian Jingyu was promoted two ranks at a time from Xiuzhuan of the Imperial Academy to Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials.After entering the Ministry of Officials, Bian Jingyu did not rely on her own favor to tell her colleagues and superiors what to do, but plunged into the old files and did some work of summarizing and sorting out the materials.The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials, and there are actually a lot of things to dig out in the case file. The emperor's appointment of Bian Jingyu as a doctor of the Ministry of Officials actually has his purpose, and it is not for Bian Jingyu to be promoted casually.

Even though Bian Jingyu didn't face the Holy Spirit very often recently, no one dared to deliberately target him.Because, although the emperor doesn't summon him often, the emperor has started to summon Shen Yi often!Shen Yi has a title, even if she doesn't take the imperial examination, she can still be appointed as an official.In order to see him, the emperor actually granted Shen Yi the position of imperial bodyguard.I don't know what drugs they gave the emperor, the emperor likes them so much!Everyone is not a fool, if they deliberately punished Bian Jingyu, and Bian Jingyu turned around and gave Shen Yi a pillow blow, Shen Yi would be able to sue the emperor immediately.

Besides, today's Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Shen Deyuan.With Shen Deyuan taking care of her, Bian Jingyu is naturally at home in the official department.

Shen Yi explained the Agricultural Classics to the emperor whenever she had something to do.Don't underestimate the wisdom of the common people. In fact, there are ways to increase grain production everywhere, which are sorted out by experienced farmers bit by bit.It's just that the speed of information dissemination is too slow at this time, and knowledge exchanges cannot be carried out in various places. It is a pity that the experience summed up in one place cannot be transmitted to another place.Shen Yi wanted to collect the wisdom and experience of the people from all over the place into a book.

To the emperor, these are trivial matters. With a flick of a pen, Shen Yi has an errand to study agricultural classics.

In the blink of an eye, it was August, and the emperor was about to close the net.The death row inmates who ate large doses of poisonous vegetables and fruits for three meals a day had symptoms of skin ulceration.Shen Yi only knew that they were probably poisoned by heavy metals, but she didn't know which metal exceeded the standard.

People at this time do not have the concept of heavy metal poisoning, but this does not prevent them from using this method to harm people.

"Guess where those poisonous vegetables and fruits came from?" Shen Yi knew something when she met the saint, and told Bian Jingyu when she got home, "There used to be a small village, and the villagers raised money to fight After a well, the skin of the whole village slowly festered and died. At first the locals thought it was a disease, but later they thought it was cursed. Everyone was scared to death, and the village became a dead village. Later, some people suspected that it was There was a problem with the well water. This matter should have been reported to the imperial court, but after being known by interested people, someone deliberately concealed the matter. They used the well water to irrigate vegetables and fruits, which harmed Yin Liqun. Twenty years have passed, They planted fruit trees and so on near the well, just waiting for when to use this method to harm people!"

That village is a small village in the south.The poisonous peaches and jade camellia were originally cultivated in the south, as long as they were transported to the capital to replace the original tributes.As for the vegetables and fruits, because the East Palace needs to eat fresh ones, they must not be transported over after being cultivated in the south, so they brought in buckets of well water and set up a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. Vegetables and fruits are irrigated with this kind of well water.

The manpower and material resources consumed are innumerable!

In other words, the whole thing started with the people from the south of the Yangtze River, and the people from the capital city responded, so they almost killed the prince!

Bian Jingyu shook her head and said: "People's hearts are terrible. But fortunately, the prince is fine, and their calculations gave the emperor a reason to eliminate the powerful Jiangnan." Emperor Xianwu has been on the throne for decades, and the army has always firmly held In the hands of the emperor, the emperor is not incapable of arresting Jiangnan Haoqiang, he just lacks a reasonable reason to arrest them all.The emperor can't kill people casually, and killing people directly will cause endless troubles.But since they chose to poison the East Palace, and the emperor had the evidence, the emperor finally had a reason to make them bleed like rivers.

This incident can involve countless people inside and outside the capital.The emperor regained his composure after being angry. He must have thought about maximizing his interests.As for who is responding in the capital, the emperor probably knows it well.On this day, he summoned the prince and the fifth prince.

The Fifth Princess changed her husband into a court dress, and when she was tying a belt for him, she burst out laughing suddenly.

"What are you laughing at?" The fifth prince looked at his princess suspiciously.

The fifth princess said: "For some reason, I just suddenly remembered an interesting incident in my childhood. My eldest sister is the smartest among all the sisters. We read and practice calligraphy together, and she always learns the fastest and the best. .I was young at that time, and I was unconvinced in my ignorance. I thought that the lady in the lobby must eat better than me on weekdays. Maybe she ate something that could make her smart. So, I took I ate according to the diet list of the lady in the lobby, she ate one portion, I ate two portions. I ate for several months in a row, and I didn’t think I was smart enough to eat, but I gained a lot of weight.”

"Hehe." The fifth prince looked at his princess as if he was looking at a fool.Only a fool would do such a thing!

The fifth concubine didn't take it seriously, she took care of the fifth prince's clothes, and sent him out with a smile.

The fifth prince happily entered the palace.As soon as he entered the imperial study, he was about to kneel down to salute his own father when a booklet hit him on the head.The fifth prince was stunned.He hasn't gotten into any trouble recently!Emperor Xianwu sneered and said, "You are so powerful that you actually put your hand into the Prince's East Palace."

The fifth prince was a little dazed, he picked up the booklet and read it while shouting his grievances.

It was written in the brochure that on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, he bribed a certain eunuch, who was the rough eunuch in the small kitchen of the Prince's East Palace.On a certain day in a certain year and a certain month, he had a few words with a certain eunuch in a certain place. The eunuch and a maid in the Prince's East Palace were fellow villagers, and the two often had contact.

The Fifth Prince's heart skipped a beat.He didn't look any further.What is written in this booklet is true.

In fact, it is very common to send spies to brothers, and the fifth prince does not believe that the prince did not send spies to him and his elder brother's house!But this kind of thing cannot be put on the table.Once the emperor found out, it was not his fault but also his fault.The fifth prince wanted to deny it at first, but then he thought about it, since this booklet has recorded the matter so carefully, it means that the emperor must have evidence in his hand, and he can no longer deny it.

How can this be done!

The fifth prince suddenly remembered what the princess said when he was about to leave.

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Father, my son is guilty! My son has always admired the prince's elder brother very much. I don't understand. We were all born by the father's emperor. Why should the prince's elder brother...just grow up?" He looks better than me? Why is he smarter than me? I’m afraid he usually eats better than me. I thought, if I eat the same as the prince’s brother, maybe I can become smarter. It’s a pity that I usually eat better than me. I keep arguing with the prince's brother, and my brother probably doesn't want to talk to me. I... I did bribe a few people, but I just want to ask the prince's brother what he likes to eat on weekdays, so that I can secretly take care of the prince's brother in the mansion. Taste it!" He said, tears streaming down his face.

At this time the weather was still a bit stuffy, the fifth prince was only wearing two pieces of clothes, and the court clothes were the middle clothes.

The fifth prince rolled up the sleeves of his court clothes, and wiped his tears with the softer inner clothes.There is a row of little rabbits embroidered on this jacket.The fifth prince moved in his heart, raised the sleeves of his jacket, and said, "Father, look, the prince's brother's zodiac is secretly embroidered on the sleeves of my clothes! By the way, it is also embroidered on the trousers, and the socks are also embroidered. .” In order to prove his love for the third brother of the prince, the fifth prince unbuttoned his belt in court.

The jacket and socks worn by the Fifth Prince were made by Bian Ci.Bian Ci said: "At first, I wanted to embroider my concubine's zodiac sign on the prince's middle coat. When the prince puts on this dress, it's as if the concubine is always by your side. However, the concubine likes rabbits the most, so I changed the embroidering Rabbit."

This kind of boudoir secret is not enough for outsiders.

"That's enough! You are lying to ghosts!" Emperor Xianwu said dissatisfied, "Didn't you always only have your elder brother in your eyes?!"

"Father!" The Fifth Prince cried out heart-piercingly, "My son... I can't help myself!"

emperor:"……"

The prince stood beside the emperor, and quickly poured a cup of tea for the emperor again.He did this also to ease the atmosphere at the scene.

The fifth prince knelt and climbed two steps forward, hugged the leg of the third brother of the prince, and imitated Bian Ci's words, saying: "My brother asked someone to embroider the prince's zodiac sign on the clothes, and put on this clothes, just like the elder brother of the prince. It's like holding me all the time. I... My sincerity to the prince's brother can be learned from heaven!"

The prince raised his belt in horror.lighter!lighter!The pants are going to be ripped off.
