Chapter 535 Please accept Nanyu’s greeting
Several confidants in Fengxi Palace knew the location and entry method of the secret room, and Emperor Shunwu would know it as soon as he asked.
Sure enough, when Emperor Shunwu heard what the empress said, he directly ordered people to send the empress to the Heavenly Prison.
Then he looked at the palace maids of Fengxi Palace who were already frightened to the point of shaking like sieves.
Although he didn't know the location of the secret room, he still remembered which of these slaves in the Queen's Palace had greeted him.
At this point, those people didn't care about much anymore.
When the queen was taken away, several people had already knelt down.
Some people were even afraid that if they spoke too slowly, the opportunity to redeem themselves would fall on others, so they all rushed to tell the location of the secret room and how to enter.
Without following Emperor Wu's orders, Nan Yu immediately called a few people to rush there after learning the location of the secret room.
When the empress dowager's body was carried out, it was already so rotten that it was unbearable to look at.
Emperor Shunwu burst into tears instantly and ordered people to make proper arrangements for the empress dowager's funeral immediately.
Everyone present was moved by the empress dowager's miserable condition.
Especially those ministers who were on the Queen's side, each of them felt extremely guilty.
They themselves dared not even think about what kind of punishment they would face next, and some even considered escaping.
How could Nan Yu give them a chance to escape?
In front of Emperor Shunwu, he ordered his men to take control of all the officials of the Queen's party.
He understood the principle that the law does not punish the masses. So many officials had more or less followed the Queen's party and done many rebellious things, but if they were dealt with immediately, it would be equivalent to a major reshuffle of the court.
A major reshuffle is possible, but only if there are suitable people to take their places.
Emperor Shunwu has always been indifferent to state affairs. How could he have trained so many people who could take over important tasks?
Therefore, although these people made mistakes, they cannot be cleared out immediately for the time being. Nanyu needs some time to train new personnel.
Emperor Shunwu was even more pleased to see that Nanyu arranged these matters with ease.
If this child could have recognized his ancestors earlier, perhaps this situation would not have occurred today.
Nan Yu was not unfamiliar to these ministers.
Many people know that he is Nan Qi's staff.
What everyone is puzzled about is why His Royal Highness Prince Qi was inexplicably imprisoned in the Sky Prison, while his staff can feel at ease in front of the emperor?
Emperor Shunwu didn't care what the ministers were thinking. He was controlled by the empress for so many days, and the kingdom built by his ancestors was almost lost in his hands. Thinking about this made him extremely angry.
After going through so many things over the past few days, he felt exhausted and simply left all the remaining matters to Nan Yu.
Nan Yu obtained this right in front of all the ministers, and even if someone questioned it, they didn't dare to say anything.
It has to be said that Nan Yu's methods were swift and swift. From the time the Queen's party was arrested until late at night, he had personally interrogated most of them and had people prepare detailed records, waiting to present them to Emperor Shunwu during the morning court tomorrow.
It was already late at night when Nan Yu returned to the Fei Mansion. Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had been waiting for him in the study.
He naturally knew why the two of them were waiting for him.
"Things went so smoothly today, thanks in large part to the contributions of the Ninth Young Master and Ninth Madam. Please accept Nanyu's greetings."
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both gladly accepted this greeting. Without their help, it would have been impossible for Nan Yu to turn the situation around.
Moreover, the affairs of the Queen's party may very well change this period of history.
Because historical records show that Nan Yu succeeded in seizing the throne only after Nan Qi ascended the throne, and the previous developments did not include these things done by the Queen's party.
After all, if He Zhiran had not arrived, Nan Heng might not have died, and in the end he was defeated by Nan Qi.
At the same time, judging from the current situation, the time when Nanyu will become emperor has also changed fundamentally. It can even be said that there is a high possibility that one less dynasty will appear.
After all, according to historical records, after Nan Yu took over the Dashun Kingdom, he did not disclose his original identity. He established a new dynasty.
In short, this historical change may not be a bad thing. During the years when Nan Qi was in power, he was even more incompetent and tyrannical than Emperor Shunwu, making the people of Dashun poor and destitute.
Nan Yu is different from Nan Qi. He is an emperor with great ambitions and cares about the people.
In other words, Nan Yu's early ascension to the throne is definitely a great thing for the people of the world.
Regardless of whether it changes history or not, as long as the people suffer less, it is a great achievement for them.
I accepted this gift with a clear conscience, but I still had to be polite on the surface.
"You are welcome, Third Prince. As a member of the Dashun clan, this is what we should do."
Nan Yu originally planned to tell the couple everything that happened today after some pleasantries, but after hearing Mo Jiuye's words "it's what I should do", he instantly changed his plan.
"It is clear that the Ninth Prince has not forgotten the people of Dashun. Nanyu hereby implores you to return to the court and continue to work hard for the Dashun regime."
Mo Jiuye didn't expect that his polite words would cause Nan Yu to misunderstand him.
He refused without a second thought, "After this incident, my Mo family has completely lost interest in high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Now my family is living a good life in the northwest and we don't want to have anything to do with the court anymore."
It can be said that his tone of refusal was very firm, and he did not give Nan Yu any chance to refute.
Originally, Nan Yu still held a glimmer of hope for Mo Jiuye to return to the court, but now he is certain that it will be difficult to convince him.
In this case, he is not in a hurry. He will use his sincerity to move the other party.
Mo Jiuye didn't know what Nan Yu was thinking, nor did he care about the details of how things developed today. He knew without asking that Nan Yu bowed deeply to them when he came back, which meant that everything was under his control and was going smoothly.
What he wants to talk about now is revenge for the Mo family.
Although it was an infuriating thing for Emperor Shunwu to order the Mohists to have their property confiscated and exiled, for the sake of Nanrui and Nanyu, he could not do anything to them now.
Looking at the bright side, even though Emperor Shunwu had the idea of dealing with the Mohists, he ultimately did not put it into action.
This is also the only reason why Mo Jiuye could let Emperor Shunwu go for the sake of Nanyu and Nanrui.
As a result, the biggest enemy of the Mo family in the court is now the queen and her mother's family.
"Third Prince, you are well aware of the purpose of our coming to the capital. We now have only one wish, which is to kill those who harbor evil intentions towards the Mo family."
"That's no problem. After I have reviewed the case and reported it to the Emperor, I will arrange for you to handle it."
Nan Yu now really wants to do something for Mo Jiuye. Without the help of the couple, it would be difficult for him to turn the tide regarding the affairs of the Queen's party.
In addition, his main purpose was to get Mo Jiuye back to the capital and continue serving the court.
