The eldest son is fierce

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

It was already night, and Emperor Yanwen stood at the window, looking towards the north.

There is a sadness that is difficult to conceal between his brows.

"Chen Diaosi, I was impulsive after all..."

After a long time, Emperor Yanwen sighed softly.

Chen Diaosi bowed slightly and said nothing.

He knew the emperor was just talking to himself and didn't need his response.

"I shouldn't have told you about Tang Yi's plan in the Council of State today. But when I heard those old thieves actually want me to move the capital, I couldn't help myself."

"I'm afraid this news can no longer be concealed. If Beidi and Dongyu get the news first, the consequences will be serious."

In which dynasty would there not be a few people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?

Although these ministers appeared to be loyal and righteous, Emperor Yanwen knew very well that if the Northern Di army really arrived at the city, countless people would probably tie him up to the city wall and sacrifice him to the Northern Di.

He told Tang Yi about his plan in the hall, fearing that someone would pass the information on to Dongyu and Beidi in exchange for a chance to survive in the future.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. The Imperial Guards have fully deployed control and will not let the news leak out."

Chen Diaosi smiled and said, "As long as we can control it for about three days, we can create a time difference. Even if the news leaks out, Beidi and Dongyu will not be able to stop it in time."

Just as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Ning Chuan, a captain of the Imperial Guard, requests an audience."

Chen Diaosi respectfully stepped aside. The emperor did not turn around, but frowned and said, "Announce."

Ning Chuan soon entered the imperial study and, after bowing, said, "Your Majesty, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Gu Cheng, died suddenly at home."

Emperor Yanwen turned around abruptly, his face filled with surprise as he asked, "What?"

Ning Chuan said: "He died of poisoning. It seems like suicide, but I suspect he was murdered..."

Emperor Yanwen slammed his fist on the window sill, his face livid as he said, "I just asked the officials who owed money to the Ministry of Revenue to pay it back, and the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Revenue's finances suddenly died."

"Haha, good, very good!"

"Do you think that if you kill people to silence them, I will be able to do nothing to you?"

"Ningchuan, I will give you ten days. Within these ten days, I will know the truth."

Ten days? Ning Chuan was completely confused when he heard this.

In the past, such cases were hosted by the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. As long as the result was satisfactory to everyone, the case would be closed, which was good for everyone.

Handing it over directly to the Embroidered Uniform Guards would only prove that the emperor was angry and wanted to investigate it thoroughly.

But finding out the truth within ten days is extremely difficult!

"I obey your order." Ning Chuan had no choice but to accept it.

Emperor Yanwen pondered for a moment and said, "I will send you an assistant. Let Tang Yi assist the Jinyiwei in handling the case."

"I originally wanted to wait a little longer, but since someone doesn't want me to wait, then I won't wait any longer."

"Chen Diaosi, draft an imperial decree to appoint Tang Yi as a centurion of the Imperial Guard. He will begin his service there tomorrow."

At this point, Emperor Yanwen looked at Ningchuan and said, "Let the fourth brother be released as well. I'm letting them get used to each other because I originally wanted to handle the Ministry of Revenue's case."

"Now that the case has happened, let them work on it."

When Ning Chuan thought of Tang Yi and Xiao Di, his head suddenly became even bigger.

These two guys are both troublemakers, and one of them is a prince...

It's already bad enough to investigate the case, and now I have to take them both with me, which makes it even worse.

"I obey your order." Ning Chuan accepted the order and left the imperial study with a heavy heart.

Emperor Yanwen raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, his expression extremely ugly.

"Very good, you can't help it, right? Do you really think I can't catch you?"

"This time, I will let you see my determination!"

……

Tang family.

When Tang Yi returned home, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky.

In order to explain to Xiao Lan that a kiss would not cause pregnancy, he wasted a full two hours.

Tang Jing was already waiting in the courtyard.

At this moment, he had a dignified look on his face, cold eyes, and neat clothes, as if he had walked out of the shadow of today's banquet.

"Why choose today?" Tang Jing asked coldly. If Tang Yi hadn't chosen to take revenge today, the Tang family wouldn't have been humiliated so thoroughly.

Tang Yi had long known that Tang Jing would come to call for punishment.

He was eager to prove that he was right, eager to prove that he did not favor his concubine over his wife. So in front of Yan Shuangyu and Tang Hua, mother and son, his IQ was equal to zero.

It's quite sad.

"Why don't you go see Tang Yin?" Tang Yi retorted.

If he had seen his sister's injuries, he wouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

"I asked you why you chose today!" Tang Jing was a little angry and didn't answer his question.

"I asked you why you didn't go to see Tang Yin!"

"you……"

"He's your daughter too! What, are you feeling guilty?"

Tang Yi sat down on the wooden chair, resting his head on his hands, but his eyes were full of anger and mockery: "Did you finally convince yourself to believe Yan Shuangyu and Tang Hua, to believe that they were not intentionally concealing it, but were doing it for the benefit of the Tang family?"

"Are you afraid that seeing Tang Yin's injuries will shake you? That you'll doubt your eldest son, who you consider nearly perfect?"

"Oh, Minister Tang, you live such a ridiculous life."

Tang Jing's face turned pale and purple when Tang Yi hit the nail on the head.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Tang Jing took a deep breath and said coldly.

For him, nothing is more important than the glory of the Tang family.

But because of Tang Yi, the Tang family had just climbed to the top today, but was kicked back into the dust.

Tang Yi narrowed his eyes at Tang Jing and said, "Minister Tang, I don't even bother explaining this to you, but listen carefully. I'll only say this once."

"Believe it or not, that's your business."

"First of all, the poem that won the top prize in the Tang Dynasty painting competition was plagiarized from my poem."

"Secondly, Tang Hua used my poem to win the top spot, so his previous success on the imperial examinations might be questionable. You'd better investigate... to see if he cheated privately."

"Finally, if there is any cheating, then Minister Tang should be careful, because they have something on you..."

Tang Yi sneered and said, "Otherwise, once the truth is revealed, Minister Tang can count the charges himself and see which one is not enough to destroy the entire Tang family."

"This is one of the reasons why I ruined the Tang family's celebration banquet."

"My goal is to sever all ties with your Tang family in front of everyone!"

"It's okay for your good sons to get themselves killed, but don't get me and my sister into trouble."

Tang Jing was stunned.

Tang Yi's words were like rolling thunder, plowing his head.

Tang Jing's mind went blank. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He looked at Tang Yi and shouted, "Impossible! This is impossible! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Your brother is the top scholar. I carefully trained him to be the top scholar. How could he possibly cheat?"

"Tang Yi, don't frame your brother just because you can't beat him."

Well, faith collapsed.

Tang Yi raised his hand and said, "Give me back the jade pendant and go back to nurse your child! This is simply... unreasonable!"

Tang Yi snatched the jade pendant from Tang Jing, turned around and went back to the room.

Du Lingfei was standing outside the door waiting for Tang Yi. When she saw Tang Yi coming over, she said, "Don't worry, your sister didn't know he was here. After she woke up, she ate something and fell asleep again."

Tang Yi glanced at Tang Yin who was sleeping soundly in the room and said, "You should get some rest too! I'll go next door. Call me if you need anything."

During this period, he could only sleep in the small woodshed.

You can't let such a beautiful woman sleep in the woodshed, right?

……

East courtyard.

Tang Hua, Tang Hao, and Lin Zhu knelt in a row.

Yan Shuangyu was sitting in front of them, applying ointment to the wound on her face.

"From now on, don't mess with those two little beasts Tang Yi and Tang Yin anymore."

"The next thing will be handled by mother herself."

Yan Shuangyu's face showed evil intent.

Tang Yi, you can't stay here any longer.
