At night, Emperor Wen was still in the imperial study.
Because of the Northern Huan delegation, Emperor Wen has not favored his concubines recently.
He really doesn't have that intention!
Thinking about having to negotiate the grain request with the Northern Huan delegation tomorrow, Emperor Wen was so worried that he couldn't sleep.
“Knock, knock…”
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Emperor Wen raised his head wearily.
The shadow guard came in hurriedly and whispered in Emperor Wen's ear.
Hearing the words of the shadow guard, murderous intent suddenly burst out in Emperor Wen's eyes.
...
...
"Is this absolutely true?"
Emperor Wen asked with a frosty face.
The shadow guard nodded slightly.
"How brave!"
There was murderous intent in Emperor Wen's eyes.
After the war five years ago, he strictly ordered all departments to pay all pensions to the fallen soldiers in full.
Anyone who dares to embezzle will not be tolerated!
Unexpectedly, someone still dared to reach out!
After trying hard to suppress his anger, Emperor Wen asked again: "Are you sure that the Sixth Brother has told the Third Brother about this?"
"Sure!"
The shadow guard nodded heavily.
"Okay, I understand, go down!"
Emperor Wen nodded slightly and waved his hand to signal the shadow guards to retreat.
After the shadow guard left, the cold light in Emperor Wen's eyes flickered again.
Third brother, third brother!
Don't let me down!
The sixth brother, on the other hand, performed quite well.
He also knew how to compensate those soldiers on behalf of his father, the emperor.
"Should I take back the people around Lao Liu?"
Emperor Wen murmured to himself, lost in thought.
Before Emperor Wen could think for long, another shadow guard came to report an important matter.
After hearing what the shadow guard said, Emperor Wen almost slammed the table and stood up.
The shadow guard glanced at Emperor Wen and reported carefully, "There are already many rumors about the Sixth Prince in the Imperial City. If we don't control it, I'm afraid it will spread quickly!"
"Haha, they are really amazing! Can't they tolerate Old Six?"
Emperor Wen was so furious that even his smile was exceptionally cold.
Looking at Emperor Wen's appearance, the shadow guard hesitated to speak.
Emperor Wen noticed the abnormality of the shadow guard and said sternly: "If you have any other news, tell me all at once! Don't hesitate!"
The shadow guard's face turned pale, and he stammered, "I... dare not say..."
"explain!"
Emperor Wen said with a dark face: "I forgive you for your innocence!"
The shadow guard hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "This afternoon, someone dug up a stone statue in the south of the city, and there were some words on it..."
Having said this, the shadow guard hesitated and dared not say anything.
"What word?"
Emperor Wen shouted angrily: "If you don't tell me, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor first!"
The shadow guard was frightened by Emperor Wen's momentum and said hesitantly: "Six sons go to the North Gate, the emperor and his subjects... the emperor and his subjects... all... go up the mountain..."
It was just a few simple words, but Shadow Guard seemed to have used up all his strength.
After saying these words, Shadow Guard's entire body was already soaked in sweat.
Upon hearing the shadow guard's words, Emperor Wen was so angry that he started breathing heavily.
Before Emperor Wen could get angry, Mu Shun suddenly ran in in a panic and whispered in his ear.
After saying this, Mu Shun presented a letter to Emperor Wen.
Emperor Wen opened the letter and just glanced at it, then he couldn't control the murderous intent in his body again.
Crash...
The furious Emperor Wen swept everything off the imperial desk and shouted angrily, "Notice everyone, tomorrow's court meeting will be moved forward half an hour!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Mu Shun and the shadow guard knelt down in fear and trepidation.
Emperor Wen was furious. He kicked Mu Shun to the ground and roared murderously, "Get out and pass on the message!"
Mu Shun did not dare to delay and ran out crawling.
…
“Knock, knock…”
Yun Zheng, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace!"
The butler's voice came from outside the door.
“…”
Yun Zheng was speechless.
You are sick!
What are you doing here in the middle of the night?
Is it because of the embezzlement of pension funds?
"You take care of the tea first, I'll be right there!"
Yun Zheng gave the order and got up immediately.
Xin Sheng hurried over and said, "Your Highness, let me help you dress!"
"Alright, alright! I can do it myself!"
Yun Zheng stopped Xin Sheng and put on his clothes.
Soon, Yun Zheng got dressed and came outside.
Seeing Yun Zheng, the eunuchs in the palace hurriedly saluted and said, "Sixth Prince, the emperor has ordered that the court meeting tomorrow be moved forward half an hour."
What the hell?
Half an hour earlier?
What kind of plane?
Are you deliberately trying to prevent people from sleeping?
"Okay, I understand."
Yun Zheng agreed gloomily and asked again: "Did something big happen?"
“Not sure.”
The eunuch who delivered the message replied: "But judging from the expression on Chief Steward Mu's face, it shouldn't be a good thing."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Yun Zheng nodded and asked the butler to reward the eunuch who delivered the message with a few taels of silver.
It seems that it is mostly because of the embezzlement of pension funds!
Who cares!
Anyway, as long as your goal is achieved, it's fine.
Du Bugui is the commander of the Blood Clothes Army after all. Even if he has a broken arm, he should still be considered an expert, right?
It's worth spending several thousand taels of silver to recruit such a talent!
After sending away the eunuch who delivered the message, Yun Zheng returned to his room.
Seeing that it was getting late, he was too lazy to go to sleep.
When the time was almost up, Yun Zheng took a carriage to the palace to attend the court meeting.
When we arrived outside the hall, almost everyone had arrived.
Emperor Wen suddenly announced that the court meeting would be moved forward half an hour, leaving everyone confused and many people gathered together to discuss the matter.
But no one knew what had happened.
Only Xu Shifu and Yun Li smiled at each other.
As expected, their plan has succeeded!
Even if Yun Zheng didn't die today, he would probably not escape the fate of being thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
Yun Li looked at Yun Zheng viciously and laughed secretly in his heart.
Coward!
The more than ten thousand taels will be considered as your burial companion!
Everyone waited outside the hall for a long time, but Emperor Wen was reluctant to call them in.
Such an abnormal situation made everyone even more confused.
However, everyone knows that this is definitely not a good thing.
I just don’t know who will be unlucky again.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, Emperor Wen summoned everyone into the palace.
Yun Zheng followed the crowd in and very tactfully stood in the same corner as yesterday, then worshipped with everyone else.
In the past, Emperor Wen would have asked everyone to stand up.
But today, no one knew what had gone wrong with Emperor Wen. He refused to let everyone stand up and just made them kneel like that, making everyone even more uneasy.
The time it took for everyone to kneel was just a cup of tea.
It was not until veteran ministers like Zhang Huai could no longer kneel that Emperor Wen spoke.
"Stand up!"
Emperor Wen's voice was cold, and he was obviously suppressing his anger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone stood up, and several old ministers almost fell down, but fortunately they were supported in time by the people around them.
"Sixth Brother! Get out here!"
Emperor Wen shouted loudly, startling everyone.
Yun Zheng himself was also confused.
Damn it!
What's going on?
What's wrong with this old guy?
Yun Zheng cursed in his heart and slowly walked out of the corner.
Emperor Wen held a letter in his hand and stared at Yun Zheng sternly. Then he said with a frosty face, "Last night, a member of the Beihuan delegation sneaked out and was discovered by the soldiers patrolling the city. We lost several people before we killed that Beihuan man!"
"This letter was found on that Beihuan man!"
"Mu Shun, read it to everyone!"
