A hearty round ended, and both of them were panting.

Dongming Ziyu didn't exert too much force, and he didn't bother to try again. Although the doctor said that Shangguan Ruoli didn't have any fetal pressure, he still didn't dare to let go.

Shangguan Ruoli cleaned up his body, applied ointment, massaged it for absorption, and went to sleep.

The next day after Shangguan Ruoli had breakfast, he received the news that Dongming Ziyu asked Mo Xiang to send.

In the Yuejun Yamen's case files, there was indeed the case of Mrs. Zhou's disappearance and the case of the murder of Mrs. Zhou's family. The reason was a vendetta and it was an unsolved case.

Meihua Pavilion also found out that Concubine Sun and the eldest son of King Qin did live in Sun Haoming's house and did not go out usually.

The Sun family told the outside world that the eldest son of the King of Qin was a distant relative who looked very similar to the deceased eldest son, so they took him and raised him under the knees of Concubine Sun to comfort her in the pain of losing her son.

Concubine Sun and his wife lived in the nunnery to show off at first, but then they saw that the news had passed, the sky was high and the emperor was far away here, and the Sun family was here again covering the sky with one hand, so they simply moved back home two years ago.

Come and stay.

The time Mrs. Zhou saw her was probably the day Concubine Sun and her mother-in-law came back from the nunnery.

Maybe this is also a kind of fate, a bad fate.

…

More than ten days later, the emperor received a "gift" from Dongming Ziyu.

The emperor was in a good mood and praised Dongming Ziyu in the court for serving the country and the people and taking care of the emperor's worries.

The emperor ascended the throne, granted amnesty to the world, reduced taxes, and built water conservancy projects.

This series of policies resulted in a serious deficit in the national treasury, which was not rich to begin with. The emperor has been relying on his own small treasury to maintain it.

Seeing his hard-earned money being thrown into that bottomless pit, the emperor's heart was bleeding!

Now Dongming Ziyu's move is like a spring breeze!

The courtiers also breathed a sigh of relief. This emperor was supported by Dongming Ziyu. If they followed his example and copied corrupt officials when they needed money, they would be in big trouble.

As a result, the long-pending case of the Yue County Sheriff also came to an end, and officials were appointed according to King Xuan's recommendation. The original Yue County Sheriff was escorted to the capital to let the Ministry of Punishment investigate the crime before making any punishment.

There are also some ill-intentioned suggestions that Dongming Ziyu should hand over all the money instead of half.

Most of them are from the Queen Mother's party, as well as some other political opponents of Dongming Ziyu.

The emperor's happy mood was completely ruined by them, and he said coldly: "These ownerless things were found on King Xuan's fiefdom. Half of them were handed over to the treasury. It is not easy for King Xuan to sympathize with me! What? What do you mean? It's up to you."

If unexpected wealth is found in the house or village, should it be handed over to the national treasury?"

There is a law in Dongming. If minerals are found in one's own fields or hills, one should report it to the court, and the court will excavate it. But there is no regulation. If one finds ancient tombs, treasures and other things on one's own territory, one must turn it over to the court.

"Your Majesty, this is not the same nature. The fiefdom is not the private property of King Xuan, it still belongs to the court! It is just temporarily handed over to King Xuan for management!" Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment came out to remonstrate.

Shangguan Tianxiao came out and said: "King Xuan did not keep the other half of the money for private use! It was used as funds to develop terraces, build roads and docks, as well as pay for the border guards of King Xuan's fiefdom. These expenses should have come from the national treasury.

It comes from inside."

The minister of the Ministry of Industry said: "If terrace planting is successful, it can be promoted in hilly areas across the country. This will be a major event that benefits the country and the people!"

Marquis Dingyuan asked curiously: "I wonder what the terraced fields look like?"

So, everyone started talking about the terraced fields and decided to remove the problem.

The emperor's mood improved a lot, but when he went to court, his mood was not so good.

The two wounded and three corpses were placed in the emperor's study room, and Gu Lingran knelt there to plead guilty.

The Jin Yiwei often walked around the palace and in front of the emperor, and the emperor recognized these people as members of the Jin Yiwei at a glance.

He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Gu Lingran kowtowed and said, "Please forgive me for being lax in your service. This is because King Xuan caught an assassin in the Prince Xuan's Mansion in his fiefdom and almost killed Princess Xuan!"

When the emperor heard this, his body trembled, his eyes were as cold as a cold pool, and he asked in a deep voice: "Is Princess Xuan injured?"

King Xuan did not send these people to the main hall of the morning court, which was considered as giving him the emperor's dignity.

"Injured by shotguns, but not life-threatening." Gu Lingran took out a letter from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head, "This is a letter written by King Xuan to the Emperor."

Duofu wanted to reach out and take it, then check it according to the rules before handing it to the emperor. Unexpectedly, the emperor took the letter first, opened the wax seal, and read it over.

The letter first described in detail the process of the case of Feng Di's heart-breaking case, and then briefly talked about the assassination of Jin Yiwei and Shangguan Ruoli.

The emperor frowned and immediately thought that the silver was related to King Qin and the Sun family.

So, now that King Qin is dead, what will the Sun family do with the money?

Seeing that Shangguan Ruoli had suffered flesh wounds, his eyes turned cold and he asked the two living Jin Yiwei: "Tell me, who told you to kill King Xuan and Princess Xuan?"

The two Jin Yiwei lowered their heads and said nothing. Their families were controlled by Yan Wen, and they could not say anything.

The emperor sneered: "Don't tell me? It seems that you don't regard me as your master anymore. Go and arrest their family members and send them to prison first."

"Your Majesty, no!" they both said in unison.

No matter how powerful Yan Wen is, the emperor is the king of a country!

The emperor squeezed out one word from between his teeth: "Speak!"

One person said: "It's Yan Wen. He controls our family and uses it to threaten us to obey him!"

Gu Lingran and the emperor were not very surprised. Whoever was behind it had a rough guess.

The emperor looked helpless and slumped, and said calmly: "Tell me everything you know. I don't tolerate people with two minds, but I can keep your family safe."

"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!" The two royal guards kowtowed and thanked them. They were certain to die, but in the gap between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, it was not easy to save their family.

The emperor gave an order in a cold voice: "Xuan Yan Wen!"

"According to the decree!" A young eunuch took the order to announce the decree.

Duofu ordered people to take the two men down for questioning and carry the bodies down for disposal.

From outside came the eunuch's voice singing: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Then, a eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother wishes to see you."

The emperor's eyes were condensed and he said in a deep voice: "The Queen Mother, please go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and wait for a while!"

This is the Imperial Study Room, where political affairs are discussed. It's better not to let the Queen Mother in.

The Queen Mother's face darkened upon hearing this, but she still wore a virtuous and generous smile and went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to wait.

This is the place where the emperor met with his courtiers and guests. Looking at the splendid palace, the queen mother was a little doubtful whether she was the queen mother or the emperor's biological mother.
