Quick wear: a good pregnancy, the treasure in the palm of an emperor's hand
Chapter 797: Brutal and Cold-blooded 9-year-old vs. Prime Minister's Mansion Dianjin 17
At this moment, the Grand Tutor stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, I have a suitable candidate in mind."
"Whom the Grand Tutor recommended?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
The corner of Taifu's mouth slightly raised, revealing a subtle calculation, and said slowly:
"Your Majesty, I think the Prime Minister is quite suitable. After all, the Prime Minister has always prided himself on his high moral character. Such an honest and upright person will surely be able to handle this matter properly and successfully."
Humph! Prime Minister Yun's legitimate daughter injured Prince Rong in the mansion, causing him to be hated by the Zhao family. If I don't make things difficult for him now, I will be unworthy of my official position.
Seeing that the emperor was still thinking, the Grand Tutor took advantage of the situation and said, "Your Majesty, disaster relief in Yunzhou is urgent. If you hesitate for a moment, it may cost another life.
If we leave this matter to the Prime Minister, who has a high moral character, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."
The Minister of History stood up and echoed, "Your Majesty, I also think that the Prime Minister is a good candidate."
Although Prince Rong has a special liking for Yun Jingxue, this does not affect his decision to ask the emperor to give this risky task to the prime minister.
However, Zhao Chengkun, the prime minister, remained silent and let his son speak.
After hearing his proposal, many officials and ministers who were related to the Zhao family expressed their agreement.
"Your Majesty, I second the motion."
"I second the proposal."
"I second this motion."
For a while, voices of agreement arose one after another in the court.
The emperor felt somewhat unhappy when he saw so many officials in front of him unanimously supporting the Zhao family, but he had to admit that the prime minister was indeed the right person to go to Yunzhou to provide disaster relief.
This disaster relief matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, the relief funds may be embezzled. Then not only will the victims not receive help, but the reputation of the court will also be damaged.
Now that there is a prime minister with such noble character to take charge, the emperor's worries can be slightly alleviated.
The disaster relief for Yunzhou had been settled, and the emperor was in a slightly better mood. However, when he thought of what happened in the harem this morning, his face darkened again.
He felt that today's affairs in the court had been dealt with, so he announced the end of the court.
The court officials bowed one after another and then filed out.
They walked all the way to the palace gate and were about to leave when they suddenly realized that something seemed wrong with the atmosphere in the palace today.
However, since matters in the harem have always been complicated, they did not want to speculate too much and therefore did not pay much attention to it.
Just when they had taken a few steps, they saw a large number of guards rushing in like a tide, rushing towards all directions of the palace.
This sudden scene surprised all the court officials. They stopped and looked at each other.
Upon seeing this, the Minister of Personnel hurriedly walked to the palace gate and asked the leader of the imperial guards guarding the gate, "What happened in the palace? Why are there so many imperial guards pouring into the palace?"
The leader guarding the gate bowed to the Minister of Personnel and then said in a low voice:
"I heard that the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace and the Queen's Fengyi Palace were robbed last night. So the Duke Jiuqian ordered the Imperial Guards to search for the thieves inside and outside the palace."
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Personnel's face turned very ugly, "Were only the Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace robbed?"
The gatekeeper nodded and said, "So far, I haven't heard of any other palaces being robbed."
The Minister of Personnel walked up to the Prime Minister and told him what had happened in the harem. Both of them walked out of the palace with gloomy faces. They were anxious, but they couldn't rush to the harem at this time.
When the emperor arrived at the Cining Palace, he saw that the empress dowager had not yet woken up. He said a few words of concern and then walked towards the Fengyi Palace.
After meeting Xie Yanci, he realized that not only had the Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace been robbed clean, but even Prince Rong had been castrated.
Although his favor for Prince Rong was somewhat watery, he was still his son after all.
The thieves are so rampant, don’t they take the king of this country seriously?
The emperor asked: "Besides the Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace, were other places robbed?" For example, his private vault.
Xie Yanci naturally knew what he meant, "Your Majesty, don't worry, only the Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace were robbed, and other places are safe and sound."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. The thief came and went without a trace. He was worried that his private treasury and the national treasury had been stolen.
Disaster relief in Yunzhou is urgent and the national treasury cannot afford to make any mistakes.
The emperor walked into the side hall with a gloomy face, came to the couch, stared at the lifeless face of Prince Rong, and the anger in his heart grew more intense.
His brows were tightly furrowed, his face full of anger.
The emperor turned his head sharply, his eyes fell on Xie Yanci, and he asked sternly, "Have you found any clues about the thief?"
Xie Yanci bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, the thieves are too cunning and their skills are extraordinary. Except for the Queen and Prince Rong who were unconscious and unaware last night, all the people on duty failed to notice anything unusual."
The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy, and a hint of doubt appeared in his voice, "How do you know that what they say is true?"
Xie Yanci explained, “Your Majesty, I have strictly interrogated all the maids and eunuchs in the Cining Palace and Fengyi Palace, but no matter how hard I pressed them, they all said that they did not notice anything unusual last night.
All the guards who were patrolling the palace at night were also questioned one by one, and they also did not notice anything wrong.
It is impossible to get so much wealth out of the palace without any noise.
But after searching every corner of the palace, there was no trace of the treasures, as if they had disappeared in an instant."
Because he was worried that Yun Youran might leave any traces, he specially asked people to patrol everywhere. Once there were any traces that were not cleaned up, he would have them deal with them immediately.
But his worries were obviously unnecessary. He didn't know what method she used to leave no trace at all, so he felt at ease and boldly let the guards search at will.
