Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1300: Night Liang Riot
royal palace.

The spies sent to Yeliang brought back two secret letters, which made the emperor happy and worried.

What is worrying is that military equipment manufactured by Tianchu was discovered in Yeliang. Although it did not have the special official seal of the Ministry of Industry, it was indeed made with Tianchu's craftsmanship.

The good news is that Prince Kang Liang Zechuan fell ill for no reason recently, and sought treatment from a doctor, only to find out that he had been poisoned by an incurable poison.

Moreover, this poison requires a unique medicinal ingredient of the Yeliang royal family to activate its toxicity.

The subordinates loyal to King Kang forcibly escorted King Kang to the military camp, publicized the matter, and denounced Emperor Yeliang for killing his brothers and persecuting loyal officials.

The Emperor of Yeliang denied it and said that there was a bad person who framed him and tried to cause civil strife in Yeliang.

At present, the two sides are still in a standoff. Although they have not yet come to blows, there seems to be a storm on the horizon.

After reading it, the emperor picked up another secret letter from Emperor Ye Liang, with satisfaction in his eyes:

He had already helped Emperor Ye Liang resolve the issue of Liang Zechuan as promised, but he did not specify how he would resolve it.

The situation has come to this now. When Liang Zechuan dies from the poison, Yeliang will surely riot.

Such a good situation made it worthwhile for him to carefully preserve the medicine for nearly thirty years.

He caught a glimpse of another secret letter, and his face turned cold:

The Han family is really tired of living.

Zheng Cheng carefully served hot tea:
"Your Majesty, someone heard the Grand Tutor chatting with an old friend, and he seemed to be planning to return to the court..."

The emperor impatiently put down the cup he had picked up, letting the tea spill onto the secret letter:
"Why is this old man here to join in the fun? What kind of place is the court? Can you come and go as you please?" Zheng Cheng glanced at the soaked secret letter, took a half step back, and lowered his body even lower:

"That year, the Grand Master was bedridden due to the death of his first wife, and he submitted a petition to retire...

Your Majesty, considering the kindness of the teacher and the trust placed in the Grand Master by the late Emperor, has stated in the court that the position of Grand Master will be retained, and he will wait for the Grand Master to recover and return to the court."

The emperor frowned and thought, his impatience growing:
At that time, he only wanted to gain a reputation as a virtuous person, not really wanting the old man to come back.

The emperor regretted saying this during the court session, and was even more annoyed that he was burdened by his false reputation. With a gloomy face, he cursed:

"You are a thief if you are too old to die!"

A complex expression of displeasure flashed across Zheng Cheng's lowered face. Although he knew that the emperor couldn't see it, he was still able to recover quickly as usual after years of caution.

After being angry for a while, the emperor calmed down and asked about other things.

Upon learning that the prince had privately instructed Yun Ping to hold a flower party, the date was set for the day after the release of house arrest, and that Lin Jinyan and Feng Siyao were specifically invited, the emperor snorted coldly:
"He is good at choosing people. Since Chengping is going to marry into the Lin family, he chose the girl from the Feng family. This can win over Chengping and the Marquis's family. I heard that the girl has a cold personality, but her family background is worthy of the prince, so let the prince go."

After saying this, the emperor suddenly thought of something and asked:
"How is the investigation going into the Qin family's son's assassination of the Lin family's girl?"

Zheng Cheng: "Jingzhao Yi seems to have obtained the confession from Mingye Pavilion."

"In this case, the prince chose Lin Jinyan. I'm afraid the Qin family's child has found a way to escape."

Thinking of this, the emperor frowned and weighed:
This boy is very scheming and is deeply trusted by the Crown Prince. He dares to steal the Xue family's treasures right under my nose. He must be an ambitious person. If we can get rid of him, it will be good for the future of the Crown Prince and Tian Chu.

"Send a message to Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Chen Qingshan, saying that the Gu family has made great contributions in defending the country, and the Lin family has made great contributions to the country by educating talents. Whoever harms the descendants of the two families must be severely punished."
