The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

There were only four people left in the hall: the emperor, Zhao Rong, Qin Wan and Little Lion.

Qin Wancai handed the letter to the little lion, "Little lion, give this letter to your grandfather!"

The little lion immediately ran back from the emperor's bed.

After taking the letter, he handed it to the emperor like a treasure, "Grandpa Emperor, this is all thanks to the little lion!"

The emperor did not take the little lion's words seriously. After taking the letter, he read it carefully.

Then I found out it was an eye-catching letter from home, nothing different.

The handwriting is so shabby that it's obvious that it was written by a military officer.

"Crown Princess, what's wrong with this letter?"

Qin Wan said: "Father, this is a letter sent back by General Hongfu, but it is also their signal for help."

The emperor had an impression of Lieutenant General Hong, as he used to work for his eldest son.

"What's the mystery here?"

Zhao Rong also became curious and stretched his neck to read the letter.

"Grandpa Emperor, I know. You need to look at the larger words. This was discovered by the little lion!"

The little lion looked like he was begging for an expression.

Qin Wan also explained, "Father, the larger words in the letter are the messages that Vice General Hong wants to convey.

General Wang was defeated many times because there was a problem with military supplies. Some corrupt officials took advantage of the money, so the weapons of the soldiers were no match for the weapons of the Hu people. "

"Father, the most urgent task now is to conduct a thorough investigation of the Military Equipment Inspectorate!" Qin Wan suggested.

When the emperor heard that there was a problem with the weapons, his expression was shocked. He did not expect that someone would dare to tamper with the weapons.

He followed Qin Wan's instructions and, as expected, found Hong Yi's message for help.

"Be bold!"

After the emperor spoke angrily, he began to cough violently again.

Zhao Rong and the little lion approached immediately. The little lion stretched out his little hand and gently patted the emperor's chest, "Grandpa Emperor, please don't be angry. Let's catch all the bad guys and behead them one by one!"

The emperor coughed for a while, trying hard to suppress the itch in his throat.

The face that was originally very angry slowly calmed down after a moment.

For a moment, the emperor felt a sense of dejection.

So what if I'm angry?

If we start killing people again at this time, I'm afraid Chang'an City will be unstable!

Besides, it’s not that easy to find out who embezzled the money.

I'm afraid he won't live to see that time.

The emperor looked at his eldest grandson who was about to kill the corrupt official and rubbed his head, "Little lion, it's not that easy!"

Little Lion didn't quite understand, "Grandpa Emperor, why? Didn't Uncle Hong say he wanted to investigate the Military Equipment Bureau?"

The emperor also discovered that his eldest grandson was extremely intelligent. Although he occasionally spoke childishly, most of the time, his logic was clear.

"There are so many people in the Military Equipment Supervision Bureau, as well as local officials. It's not that easy to find out who interfered with the military supplies and who tampered with them."

If the emperor is in good health at this time, or the prince is in Beijing.

This matter must be investigated thoroughly.

However, the emperor felt that he would not live long. At this time, Chang'an City could not be in chaos. He had to wait for the prince to return to Beijing quickly.

Waiting for the four armies to quietly return to Beijing.

At this time, Chang'an City needs to be stable.

Qin Wan also understood what the emperor meant. "Father, this matter is not suitable for open investigation. We can only investigate secretly. However, Zhu Maosheng, the chief of the military equipment supervisor, is definitely not unrelated."

A name "Zhu Maosheng" appeared in the little lion's head!

He clenched his fists.

The emperor also understood that those former ministers did not treat the Zhao family father and son sincerely.

They only want to profit from the world, and when the critical moment comes, they will share the world's resources.

The emperor nodded and said, "Don't do anything about this yet. Wait until the prince returns to the capital before starting the investigation."

Qin Wan's eyes lit up, "Father, the Crown Prince is going back to the capital?"

"Five days ago, I sent someone to inform the Crown Prince to return to the capital immediately!"

The North is important, but not as important as the rest of the world.

When the emperor felt that his time was up, he secretly sent his trusted confidant to ride out of Chang'an at full speed to bring Zhao Zhen back to the capital.

As for the person who supported General Wang Sheng, he was replaced by Zhao Zhen's confidant Yang Su.

"Father, before investigating corrupt officials, Zhu Maosheng from the Military Equipment Bureau must not be used again. We must think of a way to not alert the enemy but also prevent him from participating in the affairs of the Military Equipment Bureau."

Qin Wan knew how important military weapons were. Besides, it was not just the north that needed weapons, the west and south also needed them.

If there are problems with the weapons in those areas again, then the Great Yan Dynasty will become a sieve.

"Father, we also need to find out whether the weapons the Crown Prince brought have any flaws. If so, the Armament Department will have to make a new batch of weapons.

This time, it is better to use new forging materials to directly make steel knives."

When Qin Wan said this, her eyes were very bright, and she didn't look like a pregnant woman who was about to give birth at all.

The new forging method that the emperor thought of was actually invented by his daughter-in-law, but it was applied to her cousin from her natal family.

The emperor looked at Qin Wan with admiration.

Thinking of his third son who couldn't even get a word in, the emperor sighed helplessly again.

"Okay, let Qin Ting be in charge of this matter and promote him to the position of Military Weaponry Minister!"

The emperor knew that the Qin family was originally a family of blacksmiths and that they had talent in this area.

Qin Wan was stunned, but still thanked her on behalf of her cousin: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The emperor looked at Qin Wan's big belly and stopped her from bowing. "Okay, go back now!"

Qin Wan took the little lion with her out of the Liangyi Hall.

After everyone left, the emperor also drove Zhao Rong out.

"Li Zhuo, has there been no news from the Crown Prince yet?"

Li Zhuo leaned forward, "Your Majesty, not yet!"

"Where are Zhan Sheng and the others?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will take another three days to reach the capital."

The emperor counted the days and felt every second felt like a year.

He wanted the prince to be back as soon as he opened his eyes tomorrow.

However, the necessary preparations still need to be made.

The next day was the day of the grand court meeting.

All the court officials gathered in the hall. They had not seen the emperor for three days.

In addition to worry, I also wanted to find out what happened to the royal family.

Not knowing any news is really painful.

I don’t know why the palace did such a good job of keeping secrets this time, and not a single piece of news got out.

The noble families who could not receive any news began to feel uneasy.

You said that the news about the emperor did not leak out, which is understandable, but how could the news about the concubines in the harem disappear?

It is impossible that the emperor would kill all the palace maids and eunuchs overnight!

There can't be no need for palace maids to serve in the palace.

At this time, with Feng Shun's shout of "The Emperor has arrived", all the officials stopped talking.

The emperor was helped to sit on the dragon throne.

Some brave officials looked up carefully at the emperor.

Seeing his haggard face and pale complexion, I had already made up my mind.
