"Grandma, you have to continue using this prescription for strengthening the body. You were really surprised yesterday and ran such a long way." Lamei felt very distressed.

She, Li Rui, Xue Bai and the other two had fainted out of fright. When they heard from Bi Tao that it was the grandmother who solved the problem, they just thought that the grandmother was amazing. Even Xue Bai and Li Luo, who came from the old lady's side, were convinced by her.

Yurong smiled and said, "Well, I will definitely drink it. But I am afraid to go out in the future. You should also be more vigilant, and maybe you won't suffer these unnecessary disasters."

Seeing that the number of guards outside had obviously doubled, La Mei was also a little frightened. At the same time, she said hatefully, "These smugglers are really bold."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Brother Xuan Ning will naturally handle Qingzhou's affairs. After what happened, he must have made up his mind not to be the same as before."

Then he asked the wet nurse to bring the child over to him. The son's name was chosen by Wei Xiang a long time ago. His father was of the Xuan generation, so he was named Xuan Ning, but the prime minister did not name him according to the generation division and named him Du Zhi.

Wei Duzhi, it is indeed a good name.

But this name was too adult for a little baby, so Yurong thought that she should give the child a nickname. She looked at her sleeping son and smelled the fragrance of milk.

She quietly pinched the child's hand, but he held one of his fingers. The baby liked to hold things unconsciously. Yurong had a very strange feeling of being a mother.

It seemed like she was everything to him.

After this incident, there were those in Qingzhou officialdom who took pleasure in the misfortune, and there were also those who felt insecure. The Cao family sent a lot of supplements, but these salt merchants even dared to rob and kill the wife of a third-rank official, which shows how courageous they were.

But Cao Yi is a slippery person. Su Judu and the Wei family have always been at odds. Wei Xuanning has no chance to do anything. Of course, he wants to leave after completing his term. This incident may force him to take the initiative to gain a foothold here.

At lunch, he came back to accompany Yurong. Yurong saw that his eyes were dark circles, and she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Didn't you sleep much last night? Did you have a nightmare?"

He rested in the study yesterday, and it looked like he didn't sleep well.

Wei Xuanning shook his head: "No, I just rearranged your affairs. As for the Qingzhou matter, it must be reported to His Majesty in two months. I am afraid that I will be demoted again if I fail to do so."

The emperor now wants to use him to deal with Prime Minister Wei. Of course, Prime Minister Wei is not a pushover. He heard that Li Xun and his brother Li Yu had both been reported.

"Then should I just go back to Kyoto? This way I won't be a burden to you." Yurong also wanted to go back and negotiate. Besides, she also wanted to go to the Empress Dowager and give her some advice.

Wei Xuanning blurted out immediately, "No, I won't let you leave me even a step."

Yurong's heart melted immediately, "Okay, I will stay by your side."

Fortunately, Wei Xuanning was reluctant to let Yurong worry, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I know my limits. Besides, the emperor may not really dare to do anything to me. Since the establishment of this dynasty, there have been contributions from the noble families. When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog will be cooked, but the emperor must have the ability to do so."

Of course Yurong knew this truth. The Wei family had resisted Emperor Feng'an, so much so that Emperor Feng'an was unable to eliminate the aristocratic families until his death. It was only after she took power that she was able to fight against the aristocratic families alone.

In the past, I always thought that the noble families were annoying, but now after seeing what Shen Shixing did, Yurong felt that maybe it was not the opposition between the noble families and the poor families. The root cause was that the fundamental system of the country did not allow everyone to have the opportunity to study. The so-called poor families were also those big landlords, merchants, or downtrodden noble families. Even the poor families formed cliques and wanted to monopolize all the imperial examination quotas.

Shen Shixing's three sons were all first-class officials, and the rest of Shen Shixing's party were all high-ranking officials. What was the difference between them and the aristocratic families?

After all, Emperor Feng'an's crackdown on the aristocratic families was nothing more than an attempt to eliminate dissidents.

Because of Yurong, Wei Xuanning originally did not want to use drastic measures, but he really could not bear it any longer. Regarding the issue of Yanling, not only did he not back down, but he became more and more courageous, like a madman, digging three feet into the ground here.

Cao Yi did not move, but Ju Du could not stand it anymore. Some of these people had close ties with the Shen family.

Zhu Du was angry and said, "Is this Wei Xuanning crazy? I've seen him as a child of an aristocratic family, and he behaves in a proper manner. Now guess what he is doing? He is arresting all the salt smugglers. Does he want everyone to be happy?"

Although the Shen family's share doesn't need to be given away now, all the interests of the governor are here, so why not take it away? He is just a country gentleman at home, and he got to where he is today because he married the niece of the Shen family. His family is extravagant, and even if the money in the frying pan is boiling, he has to take it away.

Anyway, with the support of the Shen family, and the emperor values ​​scholars from poor families, the Shen family will always be fine.

Madam Ju Du snorted coldly: "He is really impulsive and angry for his beloved. I have heard that Lord Wei loves his wife so much that he can't tell right from wrong. Those private salt dealers are really bold. They even dare to mess with the Wei family."

"Women have always been the cause of trouble. Wei Xuanning is really the same. She is going to turn Qingzhou upside down. If I don't take action, I'm afraid she will think that she can do whatever she wants in Qingzhou."

After saying this, he said disdainfully: "Forget it, no matter if he did it because of women or political achievements, if he wants to destroy the peace of Qingzhou, don't blame me."

After working in this place for a long time, Wei Xuanning was soon attacked by the authorities who made a move at will.

And not just one, but three, three in just one day.

Xu Gong still tried to persuade him, "Now it seems that they can no longer bear it and have begun to counterattack."

"I'm just worried that he won't fight back. Su Ju couldn't bear it, so let's teach him a lesson. Let's make sure those people give their confessions. We have another trick up our sleeves for him."

"Don't tell Grandma about these things." He said solemnly to the people around him after entering the room.

Xu Gong and others looked at each other and said they dared not.

Only then did he go to see Yurong with satisfaction.

At this time, Yurong was holding Duzhi and sleeping. The baby seemed to sleep every day. Yurong was singing a lullaby. Her voice was always soft and sweet. The baby fell asleep listening to it, and even the maids thought it was heavenly music.

When Wei Xuanning came in, he even felt that there was a holy light on Yurong's body. The servants saw that it was him who came back and quickly retreated.

Yurong quickly put the child in her arms gently on the bed, took his hand and said, "What's wrong? Why do you look so depressed?"

"I've been stabbed three times today. I'm so tired." Wei Xuanning held her hand and placed it on his face.

"What? You were assassinated three times." Yu Rong was even angrier than when someone else assassinated her. "It seems that there is no construction without destruction. You should turn the Qingzhou officialdom upside down. Isn't Cao Yi your Majesty's man? How much salt tax he embezzled from Qingzhou should have been made public long ago. There are people in this world who are dissatisfied with him."

How many brothers does the King of Han have?

Yu Rong couldn't help but look at Wei Xuan Ning and said, "What do you think? I'll write the speech for you. I'm going to criticize the emperor to pieces. Don't worry, people in that position are most afraid of others questioning their conduct. They are all very righteous and won't really do anything to us. You just need to pretend to be a loyal minister."

Her idea was very bold, and Wei Xuanning immediately responded, "Yes, that's right, absolutely."

But Wei Xuanning looked at her worriedly, "But you are from the Yang family, isn't this bad?"

"So what? They can't hurt you like this. What you did was right."

…

Soon there was an uproar in Qingzhou. Gu San, a private salt dealer in Qingzhou, and hundreds of private salt dealers of all sizes jointly stated that all the profits would be used by the emperor. Wei Xuanning wrote a memorial in the memorial to the emperor expressing the anger of the people of Qingzhou, which made Emperor Feng'an so angry that he threw the memorial away.

"Now that the noble families are joining forces and the whole world is in an uproar, what does Wei Xuanning want to do? Could it be that he wants to rebel?"

This is why Emperor Feng'an has always wanted to destroy the aristocratic families. The aristocratic families are too powerful and have their own private armies. As long as he openly attacks the Wei family, those people will probably collude with each other.

He was even a little caught off guard.

The Empress was his most proud political partner. After reading the memorial, she suddenly smiled and said, "This handwriting is Yurong's. Although she tried her best to imitate it, you can tell that it was written by her."

Emperor Feng An was puzzled: "What is she trying to do? She is a daughter of the Yang family, how can she help outsiders?"

"But the emperor told her to let it go, and that she deserved it even if she died in the turmoil. If she hadn't protected herself, she would probably be dead long ago. However, Wei Xuanning did his best for her, so you should know who she favors?" At this point, the queen also felt that the emperor was too heartless.

Forget it. Even though he and Third Sister were once so close, he was the one who stabbed Third Sister in the heart in the end. This man only cares about power and nothing else.

Until her death, the third sister thought that it was she who caused her to fall into the water, but she didn't know that the man was standing on the shore watching her drown and didn't let his servants rescue her.

Emperor Feng'an narrowed his eyes at the Empress and asked, "You seem to still blame me?"

"I dare not. I was also wrong in that matter. It was my greed back then that led to the current disaster." The queen seemed to have regrets as well.

Emperor Feng'an stepped forward and held her in his arms, his brows full of distress, "No, it's me, it's my fault. Xianzi, don't torture yourself."

Then, he smiled again and said, "With Yurong, the Wei family dared to burn their boats. Although this move is risky enough, it can also save themselves."

The Queen could hear his admiration for Yurong in his words, but she still asked worriedly, "Then how does Your Majesty plan to deal with Wei Xuanning? If you really kill him, I'm afraid the Qing Emperor will appear."

Does the Wei family also have a King of Qi?

That is what it means to get a hundred responses when one calls out.

By that time, the world will be in chaos, and not all the scholars and officials will be loyal to him. Many people from aristocratic families have already tolerated his favoritism to the Shen family, and they will probably find the right opportunity to change the candidate for emperor.

Obviously the young King of Qi is more suitable.

Emperor Feng'an said helplessly: "This girl is so cunning, what else can I do? Let her come back."

The queen smiled and bowed: "I thank you very much, Your Majesty."

"Get up, get up. Why should Xianzi and I be so distant?" The emperor hurriedly helped the empress up.
