After I traveled through the book, my sister kidnapped my mother

Chapter 55: People's Hearts Cannot Stand the Test

"What do you think?" Su Qingluo asked Yun Zhou seriously.

Yun Zhou put down the memorial and said, "Why not call the Dali Temple Minister and the co-signed censors over to question them first?"

"No rush. I'm asking you, do you think Prime Minister Qi really has the intention of being disloyal?" Su Qingluo took a sip of tea lazily.

[Mother, this is not the question. Although I don’t know the subsequent plot, I think it is normal for a prime minister with great power to have ambitions, especially when the one in charge of the government is a woman. Now the Wen family is weak and there is no one capable.]

[Those who have some ability and ambition may feel that they can give it a try.]

[Of course I am not saying that you, as a woman, cannot rule. I am condemning their ignorant prejudice!]

Wen Zhimiao couldn't say it directly, but he had already said a lot in his heart.

Su Qingluo lowered her head and scratched her chin, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

He admired Wen Zhimiao even more in his heart. In fact, to some extent, Wen Zhimiao was better at planning and strategizing than Yun Zhou, and was more suitable to be a superior.

She suddenly began to look forward to Wen Zhimiao growing up quickly, as she might shine more brightly than Yun Zhou.

Yunzhou is very good, but a little reserved. If you don't take the initiative to wipe it, you won't be able to discover this pearl.

But that’s fine.

"Your Majesty, human hearts cannot stand the test. How could someone who can sit on the position of Prime Minister be without ambition? We cannot gamble and we cannot afford to gamble." Yun Zhou said it vaguely, but his meaning was conveyed.

She didn't believe Qi Xiang.

"What you said makes sense. In that case, let's ask the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple and the Censorate to come and find out what's going on." Su Qingluo looked like she didn't care at all about the matter.

Yun Zhou didn’t know what the details were, and she hadn’t read the entire story, although she always watched some videos to get a general idea of ​​the plot.

But after all, it is not detailed, and many things can only be understood by reading the original text.

After all, the video contains relatively little information, and it is rough and may even be taken out of context.

However, no matter how out of context it is, the development of the story has deviated too much from the original.

In the original novel, Qi Xiang's evil intentions were revealed at least two years later, and after the male and female protagonists met.

The heroine was able to quell Qi Xiang's rebellion with the help of the hero.

At that time, the hero had already made many arrangements in the northwest and the court.

Although Yun Zhou still can't figure out how he did it, as a businessman who is not in the court, he is more powerful than the heroine, who is the queen who commands a large army and has the support of some court officials.

It can only be understood as a golden finger.

When the Chief Justice of Dali Temple and the co-signed censor came over, Yun Zhou was playing with Wen Zhimiao nearby, while Su Qingluo was sitting in the main seat, with a calm expression and a majestic look.

Dali Temple Minister Lin Quan and Censor Ye Fan from the Censorate bowed respectfully as soon as they entered the hall.

These two people's respect for the Holy Queen Su Qingluo is more obvious than anyone else.

Yun Zhou has always been good at observing people's words and expressions. Looking at the expressions of the two men, he guessed that they must have been promoted by Su Qingluo.

The Holy Queen Party is not part of the North-South Party.

There are not many of these people in the court, but they all seem to be very loyal.

They are not those upright people who claim to support the emperor. They say they are upright but are actually fence-sitters.

These people are absolutely loyal to Su Qingluo, and no one knows how Su Qingluo does it.

All I can say is that he is good at managing his subordinates and is a natural emperor.

Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao looked like they were playing, but they were actually listening with their ears perked up.

When other old ministers came, they would always remind Su Qingluo to avoid suspicion when they saw Yun Zhou and Wen Zhimiao.

But the two of them said nothing.

Su Qingluo asked them to sit down and went straight to the main topic to ask about the matter.

"How did you find out about this? And how did you know that the other party knew about this?"

"To your Majesty, I vaguely discovered some clues when I was investigating a murder case." Lin Quan was the first to step forward, took out a case file and handed it over with both hands.

Yun Zhou stood up, took the clan file and passed it to Su Qingluo.

Su Qingluo unfolded it and read it, then gave it to Yun Zhou.

Lin Quan and Ye Fan looked at each other. They were both Su Qingluo's confidants. Before this, it was clear that Ning Jun was the one that the Queen Mother trusted the most.

But now she has become Aunt Yunzhou.

Thinking about the policy essay that Su Qingluo had asked everyone to judge at the morning court last time, I thought it was written by this person.

Lin Quan and Ye Fan immediately had more respect for Yun Zhou, and they couldn't help but feel a little sorry that she was a woman. If she was a man, he could serve in the same court and would definitely become a close friend of them.

Yun Zhou sat below Su Qingluo and read the clan files carefully.

Ye Fan also handed in his inspection record.

As the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, Lin Quan accidentally discovered that a businessman who was well connected with both the black and white worlds had died in Xuandu in a tragic way.

He died by having his throat cut and all the blood drained from his body.

This businessman who deals in both black and white is named Dong Yong. His business is spread all over Tianxuan, and he has dealings with many businessmen and court officials.

It stands to reason that such a person cannot die so easily.

No matter which side they are on, they will do their best to protect him.

"According to the order of the Holy Queen, I have been tracking this person and recording the officials who have had dealings with him. Although the Dali Temple has been tracking him, it has not made any attempt to arrest him. The Holy Queen said that this person will be of great use in the future, so I did not dare to act rashly. I just collected many of his assets and handles in my hands, but he suddenly died half a year ago."

Su Qingluo nodded slightly: "I know that you have mentioned this matter in your letter."

"I followed the trail all the way and finally found that the Prime Minister's Mansion had some dealings with this person, and that the son of Prime Minister Qi was his guest of honor. I accidentally found a damaged letter with the seal of the son of Prime Minister Qi on it. The content on it was incomplete, and I could only vaguely see the words 'Bei Rong'."

"I wanted to continue to track down the eldest son of Prime Minister Qi, but I didn't expect to run into Censor Ye who was also here to investigate."

Ye Fan also stood up and told about what he had discovered.

He had been ordered to inspect the northwestern counties, but he found that the northwestern counties were a little strange. They seemed respectful to him as an inspector, but they were on guard at all times.

Ye Fan found it strange. If he had nothing to hide, why would he be so wary of him?

At first he just thought that the county magistrate was suspected of corruption, but after multiple investigations he still didn't find any clues. However, the same thing happened when he went to the next place.

"Although the northwest is bitterly cold, the governors of the counties in the northwest are all extremely poor. This is not normal, so I became suspicious. In the end, I found out that the counties had indeed joined forces to embezzle and accumulated huge wealth. The northwest belongs to the Northern Party, so naturally it belongs to the prime minister."

"Sure enough, I found out after investigation that a lot of these riches were sent to the Northwest Army."

"As for whether they were sent to the army to bribe the soldiers or to recruit new soldiers, I still don't know, because they were discovered by the Prime Minister's Office later, and they were bribed with a large sum of money and threatened with their official careers." Ye Fan really did not hide a single thing.

"I agree with you, too. Young Master Qi promised me a high position and generous salary, and threatened me with my wife's life. I had no choice but to obey. This joint letter was also written under the instruction of Young Master Qi."

"I am ashamed and have failed the trust of the Holy Empress. Please punish me." Ye Fan knelt down and apologized.

Lin Quan also knelt down, and his posture did not seem fake.
