Chapter 225
The sunshine in spring is just right, bright and warm, shining on the roof of the palace, like a layer of golden broken diamonds.

It was as cheerful as Wei Ziqian Shu Lang's mood.

Yuan Bao led Wei Ziqian all the way to the gate of Qinzheng Hall, and went in first to report.

Then, I heard a golden and cold male voice coming from inside: "Come in." Needless to say, it was the emperor's voice.

Wei Ziqian immediately put on his robe and stepped into the high threshold of Qinzheng Hall, and saluted the majestic emperor sitting behind the dragon case.

"Wei Chen pays respects to the emperor."

"Wei Aiqing, please."

Afterwards, Yuan Bao immediately brought a chair for Wei Ziqian to sit on without the emperor's instructions.

When Chen Xiao saw Wei Ziqian who was beaming with joy, he couldn't help but think of those annoying women in his harem.

Since Chen Xiao chose a concubine, her life has become less comfortable than before.

The emperor was originally a person who liked quietness, but also a person who did not love sex.

Otherwise, after a few years of marriage, it is impossible for the Cui family to be the main concubine, not to mention some beauties such as Liangdi and Liangyuan in the back house, and to marry all four side concubines no matter what.

It can be seen how pure-hearted the emperor was at that time.

However, since the selection of concubines, the few concubines in the harem have done everything they can to compete for favor and attract his attention.

Today, either Yang Zhaoyi, who was all dressed up, stopped him in the middle of the way, or Cui Xiurong's court lady begged the emperor who was having dinner with the empress in Weiyang Palace, and said something: "My servant begged the emperor for mercy, and the lady Xiurong was coughing because of the cold. , I implore the emperor to visit you."

Otherwise, Fan Chongyuan's delicate face after being favored, came to show off in front of the queen...

The most unbearable thing for Chen Ling was that none of the newly married concubines stopped.

Regardless of whether Chen Xiao's official duties in the imperial study are heavy or not, whether there are ministers discussing political affairs together.

They are all carrying food boxes, either hand-made cakes or all kinds of tonic soups stewed by themselves...

Eh!

I... upset... my head hurts...

What an annoyance!

When Bei Rong returned to the commander-in-chief's mansion before, he was busy with business and couldn't take care of meals. At that time, the princess Cui Xin made Chen Xiao's favorite food and sent it to the study to pad his stomach.

At that time, Chen Xiao felt that it was very useful!

Wei Ziqian saw the emperor looking at him with envious eyes?

No way, emperor, you have both sons and daughters, is it possible that you still envy me for having a daughter just now?

At the turn of the night, as if thinking of something, his expression gradually became serious again, and his eyes became deep.

Although Wei Ziqian did not go to court for three days, his subordinates continued to investigate the case and reported to him in time every day.

Apart from being with his little wife during the day, he usually spends his nights in the study.

As early as half a year ago, Wei Ziqian found out that something was wrong with the British Gong Gao Jingwei, because he had important matters to do, so he ignored him, but he also left two spies to follow up.

Now I finally have a look.

At this moment, he tentatively asked: "Your Majesty, is it something about the British Duke and Lantau Island?"

Chen Xiao stood up and took a few steps, returned to the table with her hands behind her back, pointed to the things they brought up on the table, looked back at Wei Ziqian and said, "You guessed right."

Wei Ziqian immediately knew what he was referring to.

Three days ago, he wrote the news of the spies' arrival in a statement to the emperor, pointing the finger at the British Duke.

When Chen Xiao got the news, he immediately sent people to conduct a thorough investigation of the British government. Even though they speeded up the end after they noticed something was wrong, they couldn't escape being caught.

The people sent down followed the clues and found a mine hidden by the British prince on Lantau Island not far from the outskirts of Beijing. They thought it was just an ordinary mine, but the spies in the palace sneaked in and found that there was actually a hidden mine inside. Many craftsmen smelting weapons and secretly training soldiers.

This was obviously a preparation for treason. The spies were terrified, and immediately sent back the news. Attached to it was the account book of British kilometers of expenses. The strange expenses all pointed to one place, which was Lantau Island.

"I never thought that he would have such wolfish ambitions!" Chen Xiao was furious when he thought that the courtier who was not tame or disobedient on the surface turned out to be a rebellious courtier hiding in secret and quietly preparing to overthrow him.

This is Chen Yong, who was demoted to Mongolia as a good assistant, in order to make a comeback.

Not only that, but also colluded with the Jin State, trying to use the strength of the Jin State to overthrow the Zhengde Emperor Dynasty who had just ascended the throne.

No wonder the Jin Dynasty sent the treacherous capital censor Shige Erna this time. This Ge Erna is a rare official from Changrong in the Jin Dynasty.

This person was deeply appreciated by Emperor Ning'an of the Jin Kingdom, and he was also a militant.

Oh, I remembered, in the Battle of Yuezhou that Wei Ziqian participated in, the Crown Prince Xiao Jinyuan's concubine who was killed by Wei Ziqian was Ge Erna's eldest daughter.

No wonder no wonder...

No wonder he, an envoy of the defeated country, didn't negotiate peace with his tail between his legs. Instead, he came to negotiate with those who made things difficult, so that the peace talks have not been reached yet.

His mind was to wait a few more days in Liang Guoming, so that they could contact in private and discuss countermeasures.

Chen Xiao carefully read through the things presented by the spies, and still had some doubts about the British Duke's motives: "Why did he take such a big risk, it doesn't make sense."

Didn't he know that if the conspiracy fails, it will be the fate of Zhu Jiu Clan.

This man is really out of selfishness, disregarding the common people in the world, disregarding the lives of hundreds of people in his Gao family.

Simply insane?

After I ascended the throne, I did not cut off his duke position, nor punished him for trying to assist Chen Yong in treason, but only took back his other positions in the court.

And that Gao Jingwei doesn't look like a fool, if there is no major fault, as long as his Gao family is in peace, he can also rely on the gold medal for avoiding death given to him by the late emperor, and he will have no worries for a lifetime.

Not only him, but Wei Ziqian also couldn't figure it out. For a moment, he wondered whether Gao Jingwei's brain had flooded.

Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, he won not only the support of hundreds of officials, but also the support of all the people.

"Be at peace, Your Majesty." Wei Ziqian lazily flipped through the physical evidence a few more times before throwing his hands away.

"The enemy is in the open, but we are in the dark." He turned his hands away, raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

Wei Ziqian thought of Wei Erlai who would change his face.

From the news obtained by his spies and the evidence in the hands of the emperor, Wei Ziqian found out that the person who connected with the envoy of the Jin Dynasty was the former prime minister Yan Ying.

Yan Ying has long been forgotten by them and has become a dispensable person.

Unexpectedly, Gao Yan's family is indeed Chen Yong's most competent mother family, and they will desperately help him ascend the throne.

The most urgent task is to secretly detain Yan Ying.Then send Wei Er to impersonate him to meet with the envoy of the Jin State, Ge Erna, and get evidence of their treason and adultery.
