Chapter 588 Su Yulun is dead

Chu Min raised his head fearlessly, "Father, do you think it's right for the queen to dominate the harem? What's wrong with my son doing this?"

Chu Min was smart. There was not a single word of blame against Su Ying in his memorial. Instead, he used the emperor's offspring and the country as arguments to hope that the emperor would expand his harem.

"It's not your turn to worry about this." Theoretically, Duke Jingguo knew that favoring only one person would definitely be problematic, but the emperor had only been on the throne for a short time so it wouldn't be too late to discuss the matter later.

"Don't dodge the main point with me. Am I angry that you submitted a memorial? Someone mentioned this matter in the court before, and the emperor has made it clear that the government of Chu is unstable now, and the external hidden dangers have not been completely eliminated. There is no need to rush to add concubines due to the successive natural disasters and man-made disasters. It will not be too late to discuss it after everything in Chu is better. And you, you actually secretly instigated those ministers to submit a memorial with you. Do you think the emperor doesn't know?"

Chu Min frowned. He did this secretly, how did Duke Jingguo know about it?

"Father, please don't be angry. I was indeed reckless in this matter. Tomorrow I will go to the palace and confess my crime to the emperor."

Seeing his son being taught, Duke Jingguo calmed down a little. "Your Majesty is right. As officials appointed by the court, the most important thing for us is to consider the country and the people, not just ourselves. Chu Min, I have high hopes for you. Don't let me down when you go."

Duke Jingguo took a breath of exhaustion before continuing, "Also, from now on, don't have any contact with King Jiangning. He has a son in his fiefdom, so he might have second thoughts. If you have too close contact with him, if something happens in Jinling City, you will most likely be involved."

Chu Min's face changed slightly. Jinling City was the fief of King Jiangning. "Father, has something happened in Jinling City?"

Duke Jingguo waved his hand and said nothing more, "Just remember what your father said to you today."

Chu Min lowered his eyes. He knew the character of Duke Jingguo. No one could force him to say something he didn't want to say. "Yes, I will follow my father's teachings."

Chu Min left the study and returned to his room. His face immediately darkened. He called his confidant and whispered, "Send a message to Jinling City immediately to find out what happened."

"yes."

Before Chu Min received a reply from Jinling City, news came from Qingyang County.

"Master, Su Yulun is dead."

Chu Min was startled, and looked at his confidant as if he was uncertain, "What did you say?"

The confidant spoke again: "Just now I received news from Qingyang County, saying that Su Yulun has been dealt with."

Chu Min came back to his senses and let out a deep breath, "Did you do it cleanly?"

"It's about a gold mine that collapsed and people were buried inside."

Chu Min finally couldn't help but reveal a weird smile on his face, "Great collapse, great collapse!"

With Su Yulun's death, Su Ying's support is completely gone, and the Prime Minister's lineage will fall apart. If someone stands up at this time to gather his people together, they will be a force that cannot be underestimated in the future.

"Someone, let the young lady come over."

"yes."

The confidant didn't understand why Chu Min asked Chu Yun to come over at this time.

"You can leave now. Once you get any news from Jinling City, please come and tell me immediately."

"yes."

When Chu Yun arrived, the confidant had already left.

"Greetings to father."

Chu Min looked Chu Yun up and down, and seeing that she was as graceful as a lotus in the water, he nodded with satisfaction and asked her to sit down.

Chu Yun has been favored since childhood, and Chu Min also dotes on her, but Chu Min's dote on her always makes her feel that there is something between them and it is not pure enough.

However, being born in a government mansion, it is normal for some things to be impure.

"Father asked Yun'er to come here, but did he have something to say?"

Chu Min nodded, "Your grandfather once mentioned to me that he wanted you to enter the palace, but he didn't expect the queen to interfere, causing the emperor to be furious and causing panic among the people in the court."

Chu Yun had heard about what happened in the court. She felt very disappointed. The emperor was not planning to allow anyone into the harem. Because of this, she had not been able to eat or sleep well in the past few days.

"But having said that, your grandfather was a veteran of several dynasties. If your grandfather asked the emperor, the emperor would surely not refuse."

Chu Yun looked at Chu Min in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

Chu Min continued: "Yun'er, tell your father, do you want to enter the palace?"

Chu Yun's face flushed suspiciously when she heard this, and the handsome appearance of the emperor flashed through her mind again. Although she was shy, she nodded and said, "Yes, I want to enter the palace."

After getting the answer, Chu Min nodded with satisfaction, "That's good, father will arrange this for you, you just need to act according to circumstances."

Chu Yun didn't understand what this meant, "What arrangements does father have?"

Chu Min shook his head and said, "You will know when the time comes. Go back."

Chu Yun always felt a little uneasy when looking at Chu Min's unpredictable expression.

…

The Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Kuncheng."

Sitting on the dragon throne, Xiao Jin's expression paused, and Zhang Shuming immediately handed over the urgent report.

When Xiao Jin opened the urgent message, his dark eyes suddenly darkened.

A sudden landslide occurred at the gold mine in Qingyang County, burying Su Yulun who went to inspect it in the gold mine, and his life or death is uncertain!

How could Su Yulun, as the prime minister, personally go to the depths of the gold mine to check the situation? This is clearly an attempt to silence him. These people are really bold!

"Let Wang Su come to see me immediately."

"yes."

Wang Su is currently the general of the North Camp in the suburbs. After entering the palace, Xiao Jin explained the situation in Qingyang County to him and asked him to immediately lead 5,000 troops to Qingyang County to capture Ma Zhi and others and find out the truth about Su Yulun's burial.

"I will obey your orders."

Xiao Jin paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back. He was just a small county magistrate, how could he have the guts to swallow up the entire gold mine? The city defenders of Kuncheng had been controlled by the people he sent before Su Yulun arrived, and now they were on the way to Beijing. Even if his remnants wanted to save him, it was impossible for them to kill Su Yulun. It was unlikely that he did this.

"Call Jiang Yang over to me."

"yes."

After Jiang Yang arrived, Zhang Shuming retreated and stood guard outside the door.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

Xiao Jin waved his hand and asked him to stand up. "I got the news today that Su Yulun was buried in a collapsed gold mine. I suspect he might have been killed, but Ma Zhi, a small county magistrate, doesn't have the guts to take action against the prime minister. I want you to send someone to investigate any suspicious person that Ma Zhi has come into contact with in the past six months. I want to know who is backing him up!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will send someone to investigate right away."
