reincarnated as emperor [rebirth]

Chapter 19. The Wind Rises

A few days later, in the royal study.

Huangfu Yunzheng was sitting in front of the desk and chair, reviewing the memorial in his hand, but his mind was wandering elsewhere. When he was in a trance, he heard a very light knock on the door, and he withdrew his mind and looked up.

Feng Yang came in from the door, closed the door carefully, knelt down a few steps away, lowered his voice and began to report, after he finished speaking, he looked up at the person in front of him, waiting for instructions.

"You did a good job." After he finished speaking, Huangfu Yunzheng nodded in satisfaction, with a sneer on his lips. In the past few days, he asked Feng Yang to collect some evidence, and was going to catch him by surprise.This person is Du Yi's last high official in the palace, as long as he is dealt with, other small fish and shrimp can be ignored for the time being.After all these people have fallen, he will come to solve this troublesome family.

After a while, he raised his hand to let Feng Yang go down, let Wen Qing in, and ordered him to invite the prime minister into the palace. This matter must be done by someone with a high enough official position, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Thinking of this, he continued to lower his head to review the memorial. Half an hour later, all the papers were reviewed, and the prime minister also arrived in the palace.He stood up, asked Wen Qing to close the door, and then went inside with him and sat down, discussing in a low voice.

After the two reached a consensus, another period of time passed, Wenqing was asked to send the prime minister away, and Huangfu Yunzheng returned to the table, tapping his finger on the table, thinking secretly.He had a hunch that after this incident happened, Du Yi would be vigilant.

He didn't want to scare the snake before because he felt that the time hadn't come yet, but now it was enough, so he wanted to create a big commotion to let Du Yi understand that he, Huangfu Yunzheng, is not easy to deceive, and he won't fall in love with her so easily when!

In the morning of the next day, he deliberately got up early. After putting on his clothes, he strode outside and came to the main hall. All the ministers had already arrived. I know what I know.

With the voice of the palace people, the early court officially started. At the beginning, it was just some innocuous and trivial matters. Presumably these officials tried their best to get some things reported, otherwise they had no choice but to maintain their achievements.

After patiently listening to a bunch of nonsense, Huangfu Yunzheng nodded lightly, and looked at the palace man beside him. The palace man received his gaze and said sharply: "If you have a book, start playing, if you don't have a book, you will retreat."

Pretending to be casually looking at the two of His Highness, a moment later, the Prime Minister stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Say." Seeing him coming out, Huangfu Yunzheng felt a little nervous.

"I want to report one person, Taiwei Liushi." After saying this, the audience was in an uproar. He stood calmly where he was, and continued: "Taiwei Liushi intends to rebel. Someone saw him and others in a restaurant outside the city. Discussion matters are all about treason, Your Majesty, please investigate this matter strictly."

"It's true?" He pretended to be shocked and looked at Liu Shi, seeing him trembling all over, he stood up and refuted loudly, his wide eyes and constantly wriggling lips showed his current anger.

"Okay, I'll find out about this matter." Huangfu Yunzheng glanced over and stopped him from speaking. Unexpectedly, the Taiwei Liushi was really calm, and he retorted every sentence, so that he almost thought that It's spreading rumors, but it doesn't matter, he has already arranged for Feng Yang to enter his mansion to find evidence and remember the location, but he only needs to do a search, and he will be convicted of the crime, making him unable to escape even if he wants to!

But before that, Liu Shi will definitely go back to the mansion to check whether there is any evidence left in his mansion, so Huangfu Yunzheng issued another order. During the verification stage, Liu Shi is not allowed to go back to the mansion to have contact with the people in the mansion. It is to send someone to follow him, so that he has nowhere to hide even if he wants to hide.

After the morning court ended, Liu Shi walked out of the hall angrily. After walking for a certain distance, he began to feel uneasy, so he returned secretly, avoiding everyone's surveillance, and came to the Hall of Concentrating Heart.

Du Yi had already heard about what happened in the early morning, she was pacing back and forth anxiously, when she saw Liu Shi walking quickly from not far away, she was startled, she quickly screened everyone away and asked Ru Yin to close the door.

"The emperor has really suspected you? But, how did the prime minister know about it?" She looked at Liu Shi in front of her and asked puzzledly. She was really surprised how the prime minister knew Liu Shi's treasonous intentions. .

Liu Shi shook his head vigorously when he heard the words, the calmness receded from his eyes just now, he was a little panicked, the emperor would not let him go back to his mansion, and there were indeed some shady things in his mansion, although they were hidden in a very safe place, but There is no guarantee that they will not be searched out. If they are discovered, then they will die.

"Concubine Yi, you must find a way to save the minister." Liu Shi said anxiously. At the beginning, he was able to sit in the position of Taiwei, except that he had a little ability. Prompted, but it is very strange that since the emperor married the queen, the whole person has become very different from before, not to mention that he no longer gets tired of being with Concubine Yi all day long, and some methods of dealing with things have become more and more difficult. Strict, if he knew that he really had treasonous intentions, he wouldn't have enough heads to cut off.

Seeing Liu Shi so flustered, Du Yi was also very anxious, now Huangfu Yunzheng no longer loves her as much as before, and she is not sure whether he will listen to her, thinking of this, she said: "Okay , Bengong knows, you go back first, remember not to be too nervous, if you show your feet, even Bengong will not be able to save you."

"Yes, yes." Liu Shi nodded quickly, opened the door after resigning, looked around and hurried out, but he didn't know that his actions were completely under Feng Yang's surveillance, so naturally he couldn't escape being caught by Huangfu Yun Zheng knows the fate.

After he left, Du Yi turned around in place, her mind was a little messy, too many thoughts were mixed together, which made her a little confused, but she knew very well that the most important thing right now was to visit Huangfu Yun Zheng's tone, if he didn't believe it, then she would try her best to lobby and save Liu Shi's life.

Without further ado, she turned around and walked towards the imperial study room. After reaching the door, she took a deep breath and let the palace guards outside the door go in to report.

Huangfu Yunzheng was sitting on the chair, looking at the palace servant in front of him, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, he knew that Du Yi would come to talk to him, but he would never let her succeed, thinking so he waved the palace servant out, Refuse to see people.

"Your Majesty is not feeling well and is resting. I would like to invite Concubine Yi to go back." The palace man walked to the door and said respectfully.

"What?" Du Yi was taken aback when she heard the words. She thought of all possible answers, thought that he might refuse to see her, but she still had a way to go in, but she didn't expect that it would be such an excuse that made her want to go in. no.

After struggling for a while, she had no choice but to leave first and make plans when she went back.When she arrived in the Concentrating Heart Hall, she walked up and down, unable to calm down for a moment. She had a very bad premonition that something big was about to happen.

No, she had to contact her family to discuss countermeasures. Du Yi's eyes lit up and asked Ruyin to bring a pen and paper to write a letter with a few strokes, and asked her to find a way to send it out of the palace.After doing this step, she felt a little more at ease.

And after Ruyin went out, there was a person following her far away, it was Feng Yang, he followed her all the way to a place, saw her handing the letter to another person, followed that person out of the palace, Going to the door of Du's mansion, he quietly hid in the dark, peeking at the situation inside.

After a long while, the corners of his lips curled up, and he flew away and returned to the palace. Before he had time to rest for a while, he came outside the imperial study, and after entering, he told the emperor what he had seen.

Huangfu Yunzheng looked at the half-kneeling person on the ground, and after he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows, put down the brush in his hand unhurriedly, and said, "Keep an eye on them, and bring that person back to me." To tip off the barbarians and ask for help?How could it be so easy, they wanted to do this, but he refused to let them do so!

Feng Yang led the order and sneaked to the door of Du's mansion. As expected, in the middle of the night, he saw a person sneaking out of the door. He followed that person to a remote forest, and saw that person meeting another person. Presumably the person who connected was the one who was going to inform the barbarians.The people in the Du Mansion must have sensed the emperor's actions and wanted to inform the barbarians. Maybe the barbarians would send someone over to help, so this person must not be allowed to leave the territory of Dongcang Kingdom.

After waiting patiently for a quarter of an hour, the person who was connecting turned around and left. Feng Yang's pupils narrowed, and he flew to follow, and landed behind the person, patted him on the back, and fought with him.

Soon the man was lost and gradually lost. He stretched out his hand and twisted his arm, pressed him to the ground, touched his body with the other hand for a while, and took out a secret letter. It was written for the barbarian, he snorted coldly, knocked the man unconscious, put him on his shoulders and quietly left, and released false news that the man had been killed.

The news that the secret envoy sent to the Hu tribe was accidentally killed quickly reached the ears of the people in the Du Mansion. They felt nervous for a while, thinking that the secret envoy had encountered bandits and the like, so they could only pray for the secret letter Don't let it out, I still felt a little uneasy, they sent another person, and found that the secret letter didn't appear to be lost on the road, so they felt a little relieved.

It seems that the method of asking the Hu people for help may not be feasible. Some things are good to do once. If they send people out again, they may attract the attention of the emperor. Therefore, they tried to find a way to tell the matter to the people in the palace. Du Yi, I hope she can think of a better way.

After Du Yi heard the news, she did not act rashly. She wanted to see what the emperor would do first. If he stood still and she exposed herself, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?

Let's say that after the secret envoy was caught, he was locked in the sky prison. In the dark prison, the screams of prisoners being interrogated could be heard from time to time.

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps, and a bright yellow figure appeared at the door of the cell. After ordering the jailer to open the door, he walked in and stared at him without saying a word.

Even though he didn't speak, he still felt a sharp aura. It was obvious that this person was the emperor. He secretly swallowed a mouthful of body fluid and clenched his fists.

"I know all about what you and the Du Mansion did." After a long silence, Huangfu Yunzheng said in a deep voice. He looked into the eyes of the man on the ground with a scrutiny in his eyes, "If you tell me everything, I will Maybe you can keep your whole body, otherwise, there are so many tortures in this prison, and I don't mind letting you experience them one by one, let me know when you understand, I have a lot of patience."

This is clearly a threat!The secret envoy thought to himself, although it is important for him to keep his mouth shut when dealing with people, under the current situation, it is obviously better to be honest. He does not want to experience those tortures, and it is terrible to think about it.

Therefore, he opened his mouth softly and told all about the matter with the Du Mansion. After speaking, he silently lowered his head and curled himself up into a ball without making a sound.

Huangfu Yunzheng looked at his small movements, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, he glanced at the jailer next to him, turned and left.It's still useful to keep this person, so don't kill him yet.

Back in the imperial study, Huangfu Yunzheng sorted out his thoughts. After calming down, he realized that it was getting late. He stepped out of the door and returned to Qiushui Hall.

The pale yellow candlelight illuminated the room, and reflected the warmth on the face of the person on the bed. Huangfu Yunzheng took off his outer robe, went to take a bath first, then returned to the bedside, and told Ling Qiu what had happened in the past few days. things.

"It's a pity that I don't know where that person is, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble." Ling Qiu said with a sigh, that person is Du Yi's lover Liu He, because he is still hiding in the dark, causing some things to change It's tricky.

"Yes." Huangfu Yunzheng nodded in agreement, and then thought that even if he doesn't come out now, one day he will have a way to make himself appear, and the most important thing for him now is to send Liu Shi and others, Taking the pot out of the pot made Du Yi completely understand that this world is still owned by him, Huangfu Yunzheng!

The two discussed for a while, Huangfu Yunzheng ordered the candles to be extinguished, the hall suddenly became dark, only the moonlight shone on the bed, he looked at Ling Qiu in his arms, and closed his eyes in peace.
