Chapter 537 It is difficult for me to explain this to you

After the rebellion, the officials who had experienced it could even handle the subsequent matters with ease, thanks to their experience of Prince Yu's rebellion.

In just two days, all matters were handled.

The vacant official positions were also filled by students from the imperial examination.

Tao Hong and her son also fled Shengjing with Jiang Zhiyu's tacit consent.

The emperor had sent people to repair the Xu Mansion and gave them a courtyard with good land in the capital. The Sixth Prince's Mansion was sealed, and the emperor found various evidences of Xiao Yanli's crimes in it, including secret letters with Nanjun and Mobei in the past few years.

He had been involved in all three tribes in Mobei, and made friends with people in high positions.

Even though he had seen all the terrible things about Xiao Yanli, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw it.

If it weren't for Zhiyu, I'm afraid it wouldn't be him sitting on the throne now.

The emperor handed the letter to the ministers he trusted to study, hoping to find a way to defeat Mobei.

At the same time, the money for buying official positions that Xiao Yanli found in Jiang Zhaorong's secret room was also found.

The money, names, and official positions bought were all recorded clearly.

Of course, they were all small officials in various counties, and Jiang Zhaorong couldn't become a high official with her status at the time.

The emperor was deeply disgusted and gave the letter to Shi An, asking him to classify it and then hand it over to the people in various counties for a thorough investigation.

Tianqi experienced a major reshuffle from top to bottom. After seeing the emperor's thundering methods, everyone also restrained themselves and worked diligently.

Jiang Zhaorong was imprisoned in the Tianlao that day. When the emperor heard Jiang Zhiyu's request to see him, his expression was a little strange.

"Yesterday, Xing Maozhi came to report that Jiang Zhaorong seemed to be crazy."

...

Imprisonment.

Before reaching the cell, he heard miserable cries.

Xing Maozhi covered his ears in annoyance: "He does this every day, and I can't hear what he is shouting. Except for falling asleep at midnight, he starts again at dawn."

The noise attack made Xing Maozhi unable to interrogate the prisoners.

Jiang Zhiyu blinked slightly.

As they were talking, they were outside the cell. Xing Maozhi opened the door and was about to go in. Jiang Zhiyu held out her hand and said, "Master Xing, let me talk to him alone."

"Okay."

Xing Maozhi left without hesitation.

After making sure that there was no one else around, Jiang Zhiyu stepped in.

Seeing her, Jiang Zhaorong fell silent.

His eyes were cloudy, staring at Jiang Zhiyu. After a while, his eyes suddenly changed from alert to loving. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and murmured, "Zhiyu... Zhiyu..."

Jiang Zhiyu sneered, "No one is around, don't pretend."

Jiang Zhaorong seemed not to understand, and was still mumbling, and even walked towards her.

"I'm not Jiang Zhiyu," Jiang Zhiyu's calm words immediately stopped Jiang Zhaorong in her tracks: "Although my name is also Jiang Zhiyu, I'm not your daughter."

"You should have heard of some legends about people being possessed by spirits, you can compare me to that."

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes didn't waver at all, but the corners of his mouth raised sarcastically: "So, it's no use pretending to be crazy and stupid with me."

Jiang Zhaorong dropped her hands and stopped muttering.

"To be honest, at the beginning, I really thought you were a good father," Jiang Zhiyu sighed softly, "It was not until later that I realized that everything you did was for your own benefit."

"There is no need to explain the purpose of adopting Song Shiwei. It seems that you treat all the children equally, but in some important aspects, you are partial to one of them, which makes there always be a rift between them, but they all follow your lead."

"As for those who are of no benefit to you at all, you just let them go, or say a few comforting words, after all, it's just a few words, and it doesn't take much effort."

"Am I right?"

Jiang Zhaorong: "..."

Jiang Zhaorong's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his messy hair covered half of his face, hiding it in the shadows, so his expression could not be seen clearly.

Jiang Zhiyu didn't care whether he answered or not, and said to himself: "When you punished Song Shiwei at the beginning, you didn't do it for anyone, but because you were angry that she didn't listen to you, acted on her own, and got out of your control. Everything that happened later was based on this foundation."

"As for why you protected Song Shiwei so much later, even at the cost of breaking off the relationship, one is that you didn't want to sink your own costs, and the other is because of the treasure of the previous dynasty." "After all, it is

a legendary thing that is rich enough to rival a country. Compared with those of us who are temporarily favored by the emperor, the former is naturally more tempting."

When Jiang Zhaorong mentioned the treasure of the previous dynasty, her hands clenched unconsciously. He couldn't pretend anymore, and stared at her fiercely.

Jiang Zhiyu ignored his eyes.

"As for your final change in attitude towards Song Shiwei, it was probably because of the word 'emotionally agitated' in the letter."

After a moment's silence, Jiang Zhaorong suddenly laughed softly. The laughter became louder and louder, with a hint of madness in it.

"You're right. I've been an extremely selfish person since I was young. Besides these, my disappointing second brother also thinks that I kept him and ran around for him because of my mother, but that's not the case."

Jiang Zhaorong raised a strange arc: "I did spend almost all my family wealth for him, but as the prime minister, aren't there enough ways to make money? During the time I saved his life, it seemed that I was running around for him, but in fact, because of him, I had in-depth exchanges with almost all the ministers in the court." "

If I did this normally, it would definitely arouse the vigilance of those who have ulterior motives, but with Jiang Jianjin as a shield, they would only think that I was anxious and wanted to try every way."

"At the same time, they will also relax their vigilance against me because of my performance."

After speaking, every movement of Jiang Zhaorong was relaxed.

"But I really don't have any talent. Even if I sit on the position of prime minister, I have not made any achievements. I have to worry every day about what the emperor will ask me today. This is fate, and I accept it."

He sighed.

"By the way, you only talk about me," Jiang Zhaorong looked at Jiang Zhiyu, and the doubts in her eyes were about to overflow: "Possessed by a demon, what kind of demon are you?"

Jiang Zhiyu: "..."

Although he knew Jiang Zhaorong was asking about his identity, what kind of demon was it to ask such a direct question...

"I am a human, I came here by chance."

A human?

Jiang Zhaorong's eyes were even more confused. Jiang Zhiyu's answer not only did not solve his doubts, but made him even more confused.

Before he could ask more questions, Jiang Zhiyu spoke first: "It's hard for me to explain this to you, and it's useless for you to ask."

Jiang Zhaorong: "..."

He paused for a moment, and continued: "Since you are not her, why did you mix in?"
