[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

The courtiers were obedient, and his son, the emperor, had no objections, so the Supreme Emperor was very relieved to hand over the corruption of the Zhen family to the important officials for trial.

The anger of the people and students in the capital did not reach the ears of the Supreme Emperor and the Concubine Zhen Gui. Maybe they heard it, but they didn't take it to heart because they wanted to be famous and not fight with the officials. As they expected, they were convicted and executed as soon as they arrived in Beijing.

They seem to be very assured that the Zhen family will not collapse!

Under the mentality of the two of them, who were determined to settle the matter, the presiding officials presented the results that were exactly the opposite of what they had expected. Zhen family.

There are rich rules to follow on how to deal with corrupt officials, tens of millions of taels of silver, it is light to copy and execute a whole family, so the emperor declared that the Zhen family deserved their crimes, regardless of gender, age, ransacking, robbing Job, full family exile.

When the Emperor Taishang and Concubine Zhen received the news, the imperial edict to dispose of the Zhen family had been issued, and the people in the capital all applauded, praising the presiding judge for not being afraid of power, and praising the emperor for his sageness. Then he ran to the Supreme Emperor and wept bitterly, begging the Supreme Emperor to uphold justice for the Zhen family.

A rare gleam of clarity flashed across the cloudy eyes of the Supreme Emperor. The first thing he thought about was why the chief judge didn't understand his intention to exonerate the Zhen family, but instead presented the investigation evidence to the court. The Zhen family committed a felony?

In a trance, the Supreme Emperor realized that the presiding judge he personally appointed had betrayed him a long time ago.

Besides him, the Supreme Emperor, who else could those people rely on?The Supreme Emperor thought about this question in disbelief, but in fact, he already vaguely had the answer in his heart.

"Lao Liu, take care, none of my sons are worry-free, Lao Liu, you are hiding it so deeply!"

At the beginning, he thought that Lao Liu was filial and easy to handle, so he chose to hand over the throne to Lao Liu, but the truth is, after half a year on the throne, Lao Liu finally showed his fangs. !It's all fake!

When the matter reached this point, the matter of the Zhen family could no longer occupy the heart of the Supreme Emperor. He began to check his power hastily, to see how many of his former loyal ministers were left who were truly loyal to him.

Concubine Zhen attached great importance to the Zhen family. Seeing that she was powerless to save the situation, she fell ill in shock.

However, the Taishang Emperor, who was not in good health, could not hold on and lay on the bed before he finished checking his remaining power, and seemed to be even older and depressed for a while.

Regardless of whether it was the harem or the previous dynasty, the emperor's power no longer concealed his majesty. Only now did people realize that the harem had long been under the control of the new emperor.And in the court hall, when the new emperor's people were standing on the bright side, few people with two hearts found that they had no support around them, and they did not see the emperor's conviction. Lu Gelao and Yan Shangshu had already taken refuge. Have you got the new emperor?

They haven't discovered that the new emperor has done anything, but the fact is that the new emperor has already controlled everything.

In half a year, only half a year, the new emperor disintegrated the power of the Supreme Emperor and completely controlled the previous dynasty. What is even more surprising is that not only the court, but also the local forces have long been controlled by the new emperor.

Many people woke up suddenly, why did the Zhen family collapse?That's because the emperor is in control of the south, and the Zhen family seems to be the last obstacle for the emperor to control the place. With the fall of the Zhen family, the emperor will no longer hide his power and means.

When the emperor walked towards the dragon chair with a gentle face in the morning again, the officials in the palace were all submissive and did not dare to have any dissent.

Lin Ruhai, who made great contributions to taking down Jiangnan, stood in the court hall and changed his official residence. As expected, he was promoted, and it was still a real job.

There was also an unfamiliar face in the hall, and one could tell at a glance that this person, like Lin Ruhai, had made great contributions to the new emperor when he controlled Jiangnan this time, but that face looked familiar!

The surname is Jia, so it is possible that he is from the Rongguo Mansion, some people guessed so.

As if it was the last struggle, he lay on the bed, his thin hands were trembling, and he held the hand of the eunuch next to him very abnormally, and said, "Let the rebellious son, the sixth son, come to see me."

"Yes" the eunuch bowed in agreement, and left silently.

After receiving the call from Shangde Palace, the new emperor put down the imperial brush in his hand and said, "Got it!"

The eunuch who delivered the message had a worried look on his face, no matter how dull he was, he knew that the emperor's status in the palace was extraordinary now, it would be like in the past, the emperor would be there whenever he was called.

He was afraid that the emperor would be too lazy to deal with the emperor, and he would be angered by the emperor if he couldn't tell the emperor.

Seeing the emperor got up and walked out, the palace people were overjoyed and hurriedly followed.

In the sight of the Supreme Emperor, the new emperor walked in with his usual expression.

"I see my father, is my father better?" the emperor asked with concern.

However, the only difference was that the Supreme Emperor glared at him angrily, while the new emperor got up on his own without seeing the Supreme Emperor shouting after finishing his salute.

"Pretend, pretend, how long do you want to pretend?" The Supreme Emperor glared, and swung his arm fiercely, sweeping the porcelain bowls and other things on the table to the ground.

The new emperor was indifferent to the overlord's anger, and calmly told the palace servants, "Clean it up so that the pieces of porcelain don't hurt the emperor."

The palace man dared not move, he didn't know whether to listen or pretend to be deaf and dumb, the two big men, no matter the emperor or the emperor, could kill him.

"Get out!" the emperor said angrily.

Although being yelled at, the palace people were very quick to leave the center of the confrontation between the two big bosses.

"Why should the father be angry? I just got what the 'emperor' should have!" As the king of a country, if he doesn't have the authority he should have, how can he promote his political views to the whole country!

"Okay, okay, I was blind and mistook jackals for domestic dogs." The Supreme Emperor has been in power for decades, and it was difficult to accept being a "lonely person" for a while.

Comparing the emperor to a wolf shows that he is angry.

The emperor's expression was very calm, since he had won this game of scheming, he didn't pay attention to allowing the other party to take advantage of a few useless words.

"What do you want to order from the father and the emperor?" The emperor turned to ask.

... order?The Supreme Emperor froze, he wanted to abolish the emperor's throne, and wanted the emperor to hand over what was planned from him, but is it possible?

It's only now that he realizes that everything is out of his control, and the sixth son who obeyed his words back then was just putting on a show!

"The Zhen family..."

The Supreme Emperor just started to talk, but was interrupted by the emperor.

"Jiangnan is a land of prosperity. Most of the tax revenue in the national treasury comes from Jiangnan. How can I tolerate Jiangnan becoming someone else's pocketbook?"

"Although the Zhen family has embezzled tax money, how can you not know where the tax money embezzled by the Zhen family has gone? Generations of people have worked hard, and they have worked hard without credit. Why don't you let them go?" The matter was handed over to the Zhen family, not only because it was his nanny's house, but also because they had greeted Shengjia several times, spent all the property of the Zhen family and emptied the local Ku Yin, so he gave them Convenience, turn a blind eye and close one eye, let them collect money.After all, most of that money was spent on him, the emperor.

Even many local officials were aware of this and gave the Zhen family the convenience to collect money.

Therefore, to punish the Zhen family for embezzling a huge amount of salt tax, it is too much to turn your face and deny anyone!

The Supreme Emperor spent money on him, and the Zhen family was charged with the crime. I don't know how people in the know will talk about him, the Supreme Emperor.

As the overlord who spent money, if he couldn't keep the Zhen family, it would be sending a signal to the court: the overlord can't do it!

This is what the Supreme Emperor cares about the most. If he can't keep the Zhen family, the hearts of his side will be scattered!

"My son naturally knows the truth about the Zhen family's corruption." The emperor said calmly.

"However, father, the money the Zhen family earned from the salt tax has already exceeded the silver taels used to pick up the driver by several times.

The Zhen family was originally just an ordinary wealthy family, and it can only be considered a small rich family in the whole of Jiangnan. However, since your father gave them convenience, the Zhen family not only built their own bank to collect silver, but their family There are all kinds of gold and silver treasures, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, curios and antiques in his private treasury. It is a palace that has accumulated for several generations, and its wealth is not as good as that of the Zhen family. Not as good as in the middle.The Zhen family is so extravagant and rich, which point does not come from the salt tax?Which point is not the people's fat and people's ointment obtained from the search?So, father, don't think that you have wronged them by punishing the Zhen family for corruption. "

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was stunned, the Emperor's eyes flashed sarcasm, even if the Zhen family did such a thing, even if the father had heard about it, he would not have imagined it to be so serious, right?

"Father, do you still remember that when Lao Ba and the others committed crimes, they dragged the Zhen family down and hurt their vitality?" The emperor asked again.

Doubt flashed in Taishanghuang's eyes, why did he get so involved.

Without waiting for the Supreme Emperor to figure it out, the Emperor said directly, "The vitality was seriously injured, but in less than a year, the vitality of the Zhen family recovered. In the meantime, how much money should I search for? In less than a year."

"Cough, cough, cough..." The Supreme Emperor coughed violently, as if he wanted to deceive himself and others to prevent the Emperor from continuing.

"Not only that, the Zhen family fell so quickly, but also because they had thoughts that they shouldn't have, and put them into action." Conspiracy?Usurper?No emperor can tolerate such a heart from his courtiers.

"You..." The Supreme Emperor

"That's right, the Zhen family conspired with your father, your imperial concubine Zhen and Lao Ba, to abolish the emperor and support Lao Ba as the emperor."

"You..." The Supreme Emperor was shocked.

In the silence, the palace door was pushed open, and a eunuch ran in in a panic, shouting as he ran, "The Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, the eighth prince is dead! The eighth prince is dead!"

The Eighth Prince died?Just at the moment when the new emperor said that the eighth prince had the intention of treason?
