The little concubine with many children and good fortune wins the harem by doing nothing

Su Qianqian frowned slightly, "Blackmail me? Why are you blackmailing me?"

Su Xinghe glanced at Chu Junze and said slowly, "Because you are now favored by the emperor, they must want to hold me hostage and threaten you to do something that is not conducive to the court in front of the emperor, and then bring down our Su family."

Chu Junze snorted coldly, "These noble families are really ambitious and their methods are so despicable."

Su Qianqian bit her lower lip, her eyes full of worry, "Does brother have any plan to deal with this now?"

Su Xinghe smiled confidently, "Don't panic, sister. Since I have sent the woman to the Dali Temple, I am sure that Lord Zhan will be able to pry something useful out of her. As long as the evidence is solid, we can take the initiative and impeach these evil-minded families to the emperor."

Su Qianqian nodded gently, "Brother, you have considered everything carefully, but we still need to be careful during this period to prevent them from taking desperate measures."

"Don't worry, I have added more people to protect the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my brother-in-law is here, so I don't think they can do anything." Su Xinghe looked at Chu Junze with a firm gaze.

Chu Junze held Su Qianqian's hand and said in a deep voice: "As long as I am here, I will never let Qianqian get hurt."

However, just when everyone thought everything was under control, an accident happened.

On the morning of the second day, news came that the woman who was sent to the Dali Temple had died mysteriously, and all clues were suddenly cut off.

Su Xinghe's face was gloomy, "It must be those noble families who are secretly doing evil. They are killing people to silence them!"

Su Qianqian was panicking, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Brother, don't lose your composure."

Chu Junze pondered for a moment and said, "Although there are no witnesses now, we have collected some circumstantial evidence before. Although it is not enough to bring them down in one fell swoop, it can serve as a warning to them."

Although Su Xinghe was unwilling, he had no choice but to accept this reality.

But when he thought that there might be a traitor in the Dali Temple, Chu Junze couldn't help but frowned again.

If Chu Junze could think of it, Zhan Ping and Su Xinghe could naturally think of it as well. It seems that the Dali Temple has not been completely cleaned up yet!

At this time, Zhan Ping, who was being talked about by the three of them, went to see Murong Xue quietly.

I have always asked Murong Xue to pay attention to the movements of the aristocratic families. I guess she might have some clues.

Soon Zhan Ping arrived at the Murong family's old house and knocked on the door.

When Murong Xue opened the door and saw Zhan Ping, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Brother Zhan, why are you here? Is there any progress?"

Zhan Ping entered the house, shook his head and said, "That woman is dead, and now the clues are gone, but we suspect there is a traitor in the Dali Temple. I asked you to keep an eye on the noble families before, did you get anything?"

Murong Xue frowned slightly, "I did find out something. I heard that those noble families were in close collusion with several important officials in the court, and they often met privately, and seemed to be planning something big, but I don't know what it is yet."

Zhan Ping's eyes were stern, "As expected, it seems there are many people involved."

On the other side, Chu Junze and Su Xinghe discussed countermeasures.

Su Xinghe sighed and said, "If we can't find the traitor as soon as possible and find more evidence, I'm afraid the situation will be unfavorable to us."

Chu Junze clenched his fists and said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will protect you and restore order to the court."

At this time, Eunuch Xi came to report that Zhan Ping wanted to see him and brought the news that Murong Xue had found out.

After hearing this, Chu Junze's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, "Since we know they are colluding, let's start from here. I don't believe we can't find any evidence against them."

Just as the two were lost in thought, a familiar cry was heard.

It turned out that Sibao and the others were hungry, so she immediately took Sibao and took them towards the bedroom.

Chu Junze watched their backs as they left and made a secret decision in his heart that he would never let the villains succeed and destroy this hard-earned peace.

Chu Junze turned to Zhan Ping and said, "Go and find out the locations and times of those private gatherings as soon as possible. We must catch them in the act." Zhan Ping took the order and left.

Su Xinghe said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this is dangerous. If we alert them, they will definitely counterattack."

Chu Junze said firmly: "This is the most direct and effective way. It is worth taking the risk and trying."

After feeding the child, Su Qianqian walked back and said, "Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I believe you can succeed. I think we can also get some information from the women of those families."

Chu Junze was a little hesitant, but Su Xinghe advised: "Why not give it a try? Sometimes, casual conversations between women can give you unexpected clues."

So Chu Junze sent Yin Liu, disguised her, and asked her to mingle with the wives of officials.

One day, she heard the two ladies whispering that there would be a big move in the near future involving huge wealth and official promotions.

Yin Liu hurriedly informed Chu Junze, who sneered after hearing this: "Finally, we caught the fox by the tail."

Chu Junze immediately summoned his trusted ministers to discuss countermeasures in secret.

After some discussion, everyone decided to split into two groups. One group, led by Su Xinghe, would secretly investigate the source and whereabouts of the huge wealth.

The other route was led by Chu Junze himself, who kept a close eye on the tricks behind the promotion of officials.

Yinliu continued to lurk among the female relatives to collect more intelligence.

A few days later, news came from Su Xinghe that this huge fortune was secretly funded by the Yong State with the purpose of disrupting the country's government.

Chu Junze also found out that some officials were planning to frame loyal officials from humble backgrounds in order to get promoted.

After Chu Junze knew everything, he was furious and immediately ordered to keep quiet and catch those people in one fell swoop when they took action.

Sure enough, during a secret meeting to discuss the conspiracy, Chu Junze led the Imperial Guards to surround them all.

Those treacherous officials were horrified and tried to make excuses, but the evidence was irrefutable.

In the end, all the treacherous people were punished, and the court finally returned to its original state.

At the same time, the Spring Examination also came to an end. The retired emperor Chu Yu, with a happy face, gave Chu Junze the list of several students he had chosen, and also gave him the test papers of those students.

Chu Junze took the test paper and examined it carefully. He saw that the essays were insightful and sharp. He nodded with satisfaction and had already decided to promote these students.

At this time, Su Xinghe said: "Your Majesty, the court is now in a state of peace and needs fresh blood. These students are very talented and will become pillars of the country if they are well trained.

But I think we should also examine his character." Chu Junze agreed.

Therefore, Chu Junze ordered people to secretly observe and investigate these students.

After a few days, the feedback was all positive. Although some of these students came from poor families, they were knowledgeable and had noble character.

What surprised him at the same time was that the sons of those merchants were actually people with real talents and good character.

So, after the results were announced, Chu Junze formally issued an edict to employ them, and for a while, there was praise throughout the court.

After those students entered the court as officials, they were indeed honest and upright, and actively implemented policies that benefited the country and the people.

When the people heard about this, they were full of hope for the court. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country became increasingly prosperous.

Chu Junze was deeply relieved when he saw this scene. He and Su Xinghe smiled at each other, feeling fortunate that the court was back on track and the future was full of hope.

Just as they were imagining a bright future, Liubao started howling again!
