Prime Minister Chasing Her Husband

Li Zhiyuan said that he was busy, but it was not Xie Xuan's fault. The next day they woke up at the same time, Xie Xuan looked at Li Zhiyuan's red and swollen eyes, and said with some reluctance, "The Ministry of Rites is very close, let's sleep for a while."

Li Zhiyuan yawned and shook his head: "I'm going to report today, my father is the Minister of Rites, so I can't take his face off."

Xie Xuan agreed, so the two packed up and went out together, sending Li Zhiyuan to the Ministry of Rites first, and then Xie Xuan returned to Dali Temple.Xie Xuan interrogated a total of three people yesterday, two of whom were inserted by the second prince. After learning that their family members had been protected, they all changed their words one after another. It was the second prince's order.Xie Xuan did not expect that it would be so easy to try a case in this life. He thought that he never found out that the second prince had an underground bank in his last life, and the funds in it were used to buy people and do these shameful things As a matter of fact, the Daqing Casino in Kyoto is their daily money laundering place.

"I didn't expect those people to recruit so quickly, even the second prince's bank can confess. Do you think there is fraud in this?" Li Yong looked at the dossier handed over by Xie Xuan early in the morning, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Probably not. Maybe we were lucky. We happened to meet this person. He actually helped the second prince to do accounts. I think it is his subordinates. There are not many people in this underground bank. After all, the matter is very important. Daqing Brother Li, have you ever been to the gambling house? I haven’t been to the capital for so many years, I wonder if Brother Li knows?”

"Daqing Gambling House, Daqing Gambling House." Li Yong rubbed a few words thoughtfully, "One of the four major gambling houses in Kyoto, of course I have heard of this name, but yes, I know, I know who this gambling house is It's gone."

"Oh? Who is it?" Xie Xuan asked him.

"It belongs to Princess Yi's family."

"Concubine Yi? Brother Li, did you remember something wrong? I have never heard that King Yi married a princess in the eight years since I entered the capital."

"You don't know that it's because Princess Yi just passed away from illness the year you entered Beijing." Li Yongdao, "I remember that it was the first time that I received the emperor's order to go to Jiangbei with my father to change defenses. When we heard the news, it was said that we were to be stationed in the suburbs of Beijing and enter the city two days later, because King Yi loved his concubine so much, he asked the emperor to hold a grand funeral ceremony, and after the end, the corpse would be put in the imperial mausoleum and the plaque returned to the Taimiao. The day coincided with our return to the city. When Princess Yi was alive, Daqing Gambling House was the first of the four major gambling houses in Kyoto. There is a lot of sound and color. When the prince wanted to marry her, the first emperor refused to agree at first, saying that marrying such a woman would ruin the royal style and be disrespectful to the world. Who knows that King Yi has a deep affection for the princess and made an oath Unless she does not marry, let the emperor either let him go to the Yuanyin Temple to become a monk, or allow this girl to start. I heard that the first emperor went to the Taimiao to invite the Supreme Emperor, and finally agreed to this marriage and decreed the marriage. But It's a pity that the concubine went away in a few years, and the business status of this gambling house is much worse than before, from the first to the fourth."

"If it is true what Brother Li said, this business belongs to the Wangfei's family, how can that person say that this is the second prince's place? I told him that now his little treasury, the lives of him and his little lover are all in danger." In the hands of the emperor, what he said should not be a lie, and he has told such a confidential matter, if it is a lie, it is unnecessary."

"Could it be that the second prince really has a connection with King Yi?" Li Yong was puzzled.

"how do I say this?"

"Half a year ago, when the new emperor asked me to hand over my military power, I met my younger brother. He told me that the second prince might collude with King Yi, so I should pay more attention. But at that time, I was suddenly deprived of power. I don’t have anyone to spare, and I think that the emperor respects King Yi very much, and loves the second prince very much. Maybe my younger brother thinks too much and doesn’t pay attention. Until a few days ago, the emperor announced me into the palace late at night. Let me keep an eye on the movements of the two of you."

"I heard that when the first emperor passed away, the second prince was not there, only the emperor and the empress were in front of him. Could it be that the emperor said something at that time?"

"No, if that's the case, why did the emperor cut power before? He also named Prince Yi as the regent. When I entered the palace a few days ago, the emperor asked Prime Minister Tao to discuss the abolition of the regent. Thinking about it, he regrets it now. , there must be something inside, I can only ask my brother when I enter the palace next time."

"Wait, brother Li, do you still remember that the second prince advised Concubine Zhen to frame the queen? The queen has always been in the harem, and I have never heard of any connection with the second prince before. Why did the second prince let Zhen The concubine harmed her? And Jiang Chao, General Xiao's deputy general. General Xiao is the grandfather of the emperor but also the grandfather of the second prince. Is it possible that he only loves one of the two grandsons, and which one happens to be not the emperor? "Xie Xuan connected these several cases together, and found that if it was as he had guessed, then the case would be far more involved than he had thought, and the reasons behind it would be more complicated. "On the side of Concubine Zhen, Brother Li, did you find any clues?"

"After the fire, I was frightened, and I also confessed that the second prince asked her to do it. The news in my brother's palace was revealed to her by the second prince, and that's all."

"Not necessarily. After all, she is the most favored concubine in the harem. She always has two eyeliners of her own. She may have other news in her hand. It's just that you can't give her what she wants. It seems that Brother Li has to ask again. Be direct, think about it, what is she most yearning for now, and what is she most afraid of?"

Li Yong felt that the Xie Declaration was reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, left his subordinates, and went to the cell where Concubine Zhen was imprisoned, while Li Yong was planning to go to the Daqing Gambling House to find out the truth.When the gambling shop has the most people every day, it will be dusk. At that time, there are so many people, everyone is busy, no one cares whether there are any big customers in the gambling shop.Xie Xuan waited in Dali Temple until the sun went down, changed his official uniform, and was about to go to the gambling house. At this time, it was said that a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, asked to see him.

Xie Xuan didn't allow anyone to come in, and directly ordered people to drive the carriage to the front door, and walked through the front door to pick up Li Zhiyuan.

"Why did you come here? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me, and if you get off work, go straight back?"

"Don't put gold on your face, who will wait for you, my father said that you haven't been back since you became an official, let me take you back for dinner." Li Zhiyuan squinted at Xie Xuan, with disdain in his eyes.It's strange to say that before Xie Xuan kissed him, he had always been respectful to Xie Xuan. Although he was sloppy in the past, he had never been so presumptuous. But now, for some reason, whenever Xie Xuan said something, he wanted to do the opposite.

"That's unfortunate, I have something to do today, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to the house for dinner." Xie Xuan had a headache. It's not that he didn't want to eat the food in Li's house, but according to the confession, people from the underground bank would meet every fifteenth day of every month. Different people went to Daqing Casino to launder money, yesterday he was still thinking about coincidence, today it happened to be fifteen.

"Why don't you go? Daddy asked me to call you. You have changed into your regular clothes. It seems that you are off work. Where do you want to go?"

"I have an appointment, today is really unfortunate." Xie Xuan explained.

"Appointment? Didn't you say yesterday that you don't even have time to eat every day, so you have an appointment today? I mean why are you so busy when you take office? It turns out that you are busy making appointments with others every day. Okay, you, Xie Xuan, you, who did you make an appointment with?" Li Zhiyuan felt tense as soon as he heard that Xie Xuan wouldn't go back after work.

"What are you thinking about? I made an appointment with your elder brother Li Yong to talk about things. Some things are inconvenient to talk about in Dali Temple, so I made an appointment to find a secluded place tonight and make it clear. Let's talk about it first. It's a business matter, a more troublesome business matter."

As soon as Li Zhiyuan heard that he had an appointment with Li Yong, he stopped twisting and said: "That's all right, I'll go home for dinner tonight, you and Brother Li don't bother talking about things outside, eat more, Your Majesty The value of you is to let you succeed, not to let you die."

Xie Xuan smiled, stretched out his hand to rub Li Zhiyuan's face and said, "Understood, remember to go back to Xinfu after dinner."

Li Zhiyuan agreed, turned around, stepped into his carriage and was about to go home, when he heard a voice: "Brother Xie, Xiaoyuan."

Li Zhiyuan raised the curtain, leaned out of the carriage and saw that the person who came was Li Yong, riding on the horse.Sure enough, people who grew up in the military still prefer freedom even if they become civilian officials.

"Xiaoyuan came to pick up your brother? You two brothers have a very good relationship, unlike my brother, who has long since stopped clinging to me. But fortunately, there is still my wife waiting for me at home. I will go first. Your sister-in-law is still waiting at home." I took her to the outskirts of Beijing to eat wontons, and Xiaoyuan asked your brother to bring you to my house to play someday. Your brother said you love to eat them, and the green balls made by my wife are a must. You can't eat them anywhere else. "After Li Yong finished speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, he waved his horsewhip and left in the dust, leaving a heroic figure behind.

Xie Xuan had already been petrified, he lied to Li Zhiyuan once after he was reborn, but he was exposed on the spot. "Xiaoyuan, that, you listen to my explanation."
