The emperor didn't sleep well that night. In other words, every year on this day, he would feel that there were eyes staring at him.

How many years ago on this day, the first emperor said to him, "Sooner or later, the country of my Great Zhou will be defeated by you."

"Short."

The first emperor called him that.

Every time he thought of the expression of the first emperor when he said this, the emperor couldn't help but cover his mouth to prevent the stinky water from his stomach from spitting out.

He was forced to snot and cry and vowed to make the emperor a good man and give the Great Zhou Dynasty a prosperous age.Maybe he can't keep the promise of the prosperous age, but he can't let the country fall into his hands, otherwise it will be regarded as being fulfilled by the former emperor.

This night, the emperor burned incense and took a bath to go to bed early, and did not let anyone disturb him, just to break through the annual routine and not wake up in nightmares. The room was very quiet, with the smell of benzoin, sweet and fragrant.The quilt on his body is soft and there is still a warm breath left by the sun, which penetrates into his body along his nose, making him feel warm and soft, and he can sleep peacefully with just a few deep breaths, just like in the queen's bedroom, let him He is extremely down-to-earth.

The emperor felt that he would fall asleep right away, because all he thought about were things that made him extremely happy. Maybe he would wake up the next day and find that he was already in the Heavenly Palace.

"Papa, papa, papa." There was a crisp crashing sound from nowhere.

It's like hitting the teacup with your finger, it's not pleasant, but there is a kind of anxiety that will make people smash to pieces.

The emperor raised his head, and immediately felt something flying head-on, hitting his forehead with a "slap", which made him dazed.

But he still saw his father's face clearly.That majestic face was full of strong anger, and the scarlet blood in the eyes was rolling, and he roared loudly, "Zhu Zi."

The emperor suddenly woke up from his dream and sat up suddenly. Something seemed to be dripping from his forehead. The emperor reached out to touch it, and his fingers were covered with sweat.

His head was still throbbing with pain, as if he had been beaten.

Every year today.He always dreamed that the first emperor would throw the wrench on his head.

The emperor was extremely anxious, and the former emperor was so angry because he passed the acne to his younger brother. His dear younger brother was not as hard as him, so he died young. In this way, he is the only one who can inherit the throne from his father .

The emperor thought of showing a row of clean and white teeth here.That's when he knew how much the late emperor didn't want to pass the throne to him.

"Come here." The emperor suddenly stood up and shouted.

The tail sound buzzed in the hall.

The servant immediately opened the door and walked in. The respectful small steps made the emperor feel a little better, and he regained a sense of superiority.

"Tian family, my servant will pour water for you." The servant bent over to make tea, and then carefully served it to the emperor.

The emperor waved his sleeves just as the tea was in front of him, and the tea bowl immediately fell to the ground.

The servant turned pale with fright and immediately knelt on the ground.The robe was also soaked with tea, and the servants outside hurried in to clean it up when they heard the sound.The emperor watched with cold eyes like this, and gradually felt that the chains on his body were loosened a lot. He no longer had to be afraid of the former emperor. The former emperor was dead, and now he was the one sitting on the throne, and he no longer had to be bound by anyone.

In an instant, the hall was cleaned again, and the emperor sat on the bed.Eyes are clearer than ever.Those civil and military ministers played every day, shouting and shouting for him to handle government affairs.Why didn't they know to present the memorial when he wanted to govern.

Now he just wants to see the memorial, he is an emperor, he should know his country well.

The emperor thought of this and cheered up. He must read something, otherwise he would feel empty and uncomfortable in his heart. "Go," the emperor said suddenly, "go and get all the secret documents that were handed to me. I want to read it."

Secret Zhe is the book that the emperor asked his trusted ministers to hand over, so that he can better control the political affairs, know himself and the enemy, and win a hundred battles. The emperor thought of this and smiled coldly. He does not go to the court to listen to the government, but no one can fool him.

The waiter went to hold the compact box first, then turned to look at the hourglass.

Maozheng.

Maozheng, the emperor reads the memorial.

The situation in Baoding is very clear. Dong Zhao is a military general. What he sees is armaments and defenses. Tatars invade several times in winter every year. Baoding camp is short of military supplies, and it is very likely that it will suffer defeat.

The emperor felt chills down his spine. He always felt that his practice had reached a certain level. Even if he couldn't explain the prophecy, he could foresee many things in advance. Perhaps the dream of the former emperor was the result of his practice, reminding him that now His world is unstable...he always feels that he will lose his world on this day of the year.

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly felt very frightened, and stretched out his hand to point to the servant, "Go, call the Minister of the Household Department, Zhang Erzheng."

……

The news about Zhang Erzheng passed on by the emperor quickly spread. Zhang Erzheng tidied up his official uniform and walked into the Shangqing Court step by step.

Feng Guochang heard the officials recount what happened early this morning, and opened his wrinkled eyes, "Why did the emperor pass on the Minister of the Household Department at this time? Do you know whose secret documents the emperor has read?"

Qiao Wenjing who was standing next to him shook his head, "I don't know, it stands to reason that it won't happen at this time, the emperor has been ignoring the government for a long time... Besides, the Shangqing Court has already calculated that the emperor should practice in seclusion this month... After the emperor leaves the customs, our accounts will also be closed. It will be straightened out."

Hearing these words, Feng Guochang couldn't sit still, he stretched out his hand for Qiao Wenjing to help him up, "Something is going to happen."

Something is going to happen?Is it possible that the emperor will pursue it?

"Probably not." Qiao Wenjing was in the household department, staring at Zhang Erzheng, the minister of the household department every day, "Zhang Erzheng didn't do anything, didn't even look at the accounts, and didn't tell the people in the household department to do anything. If he wants to check the accounts, he must find some helpers."

The matter must have happened in the Ministry of Household Affairs, who did the tricks, how the tricks were done, and how the emperor will pursue them. This is something they can't guess now.

The best way now is to go to the emperor's side and listen to what the emperor has to say.

The human heart is the most difficult thing to fathom. Although Feng Guochang understands the emperor, who can guarantee that the emperor will have a sudden whim and ask about political affairs.

……

Yang Mo is also watching the time here.It will take a long time for the accident in the palace to be reported, but according to Zhou Chengling's arrangement, everything should go smoothly.

Aunt Lu didn't know these things, so she could only watch Yang Mo's expression.

Yang Mo asked Aunt Lu something she didn't know, "Did mother say anything about the IOU?"

Aunt Lu shook her head, "No, Madam never said these things, she just said that Madam is getting old and Madam doesn't know what to do. My uncle and master are far away, so I don't know if I can help. Madam also said that Madam also I don't know if it has been implicated, and our Yang family has few relatives, so we don't know who to ask for help when it's critical."

Mother still thinks about these things.

Yang Mo thought of her uncle.Will my uncle know about these things?

Just thinking of this, the old lady came in and said, "Miss, someone came from the yamen and said they wanted to see Miss."

Aunt Lu's heart suddenly raised, could something have happened, she hurriedly looked at Yang Mo.

Yang Mo said: "Auntie is at ease. I'll come back after I go out to have a look."

Now is a critical moment, and no one knows what tricks Feng Dang will use.Thinking like this, Yang Mo went all the way to the front yard. The people in the yamen were waiting there, and when they saw Yang Mo, they handed over the documents in their hands.

Before Yang Mo opened it to take a look, the officials in the yamen got up and left.

Yang Mo took the document to the inner courtyard and asked someone to open it with a knife. Aunt Lu next to her was nervous and her heart was beating like a drum.

"How is it? What's the matter?" Before Yang Mo finished reading, Aunt Lu asked anxiously.

Yang Mo put down the paperwork in her hand and looked at Aunt Lu. "It's about the lawsuit."

"Lawsuit? Who sued us?"

Unexpectedly, Aunt Lu was so nervous, Yang Mo said: "It's not someone else who sued us. It's a lawsuit between us and the Chang family. The Chang family didn't return the rest of their belongings. The court allowed us to come and urge us."

It's a good thing, it's a good thing for her to go to Chang's house to collect debts.

Yang Mo told Mother Cui, who was in charge, "Go to the courtyard where my uncle lives, and ask my uncle to come over, and just say that I have something important to discuss."

Cui's mother came down, "The servant girl will arrange it."

Yang Mo nodded and went to change clothes in the inner room. It would be best if uncle was willing to go to Chang's house together, so that uncle could see the face of Chang's family with his own eyes.

In less than half an hour, a servant came and said, "My uncle is here, and I'm waiting for Miss in the front yard."

Uncle has been in Beijing for a while, and knows the ins and outs. Now that he has such an opportunity, he will definitely ask her about it.

Yang Mo changed her clothes and went to the front yard. Master Zhang Er and Zhang Yu were waiting in the house.

Yang Mo stepped forward to salute, and Master Zhang Er said, "How is the matter at Qiao's house?"

Uncle asked about Wang Zhenting's case, Yang Mo said in a low voice, "I found something belonging to our Yang family from Qiao's."

How could this be? Master Zhang Er was stunned for a moment.

Yang Mo said: "The Chang family has been walking around with the Qiao family. I think the Chang family is indispensable here. When my grandmother passed away, she taught Mrs. Chang everything about the family. If someone moves things from the Yang family, Mrs. Chang should not know."

"Too much deceit." Mr. Zhang Er suddenly stood up.

Zhang Yu next to him was taken aback. He had never seen his father lose his temper like this, and he never thought that Mrs. Chang, who seemed very friendly, was such a person.

"Go," Master Zhang Er looked at Yang Mo, "I'll go to Chang's house with you, and see what they have to say."

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered, sometimes angry and sometimes hesitant, he glanced at his father a few times before faltering, "Father, mother said... don't go to Chang's house..."

Master Zhang Er's expression suddenly changed.

Yang Mo pretended not to hear so as not to embarrass her uncle.

Even now, my aunt still wants to cling to the Chang family.

Master Zhang Er sneered, "She can't be the master of our Zhang family's affairs. Your sister is being bullied, but we just ignore it? It's fine if you're not in Beijing before. Now that you're here, we have to find someone for her." Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your dead aunt and uncle."

Zhang Yu raised his eyes to look at Yang Mo, and then nodded, "Father is right, mother...is deceived by the Chang family...that's why...If mother knows this, she will protect her sister like father."

Hearing his son covering up for his wife, Master Zhang Er's eyes softened, "It's good that you know."

The concierge prepared the carriages and horses, and the three of them went all the way to Chang's house.

When the servants of Chang's family saw him, they rushed to report, and soon Mrs. Chang came out to welcome Mrs. Chang, followed by Mrs. Jing with a haggard face.

Jing didn't put on makeup, her arm was trembling, she looked very miserable, she looked at Master Zhang Er, "Master...why are you here?"

She knows her husband's weakness best. He has soft ears and can't stand a few good words. She was sure that her husband would follow Yang to Chang's house, so she came early and waited.

The appearance of his wife aroused a bit of love and affection from Master Zhang Er, and thinking about Yang Mo's experience in the past few years, he still hardened his heart, "I heard from the elders of Chang's parents that Molan is just a girl who has not left the cabinet and should listen to the elders' arrangements. Now that her elders are here, they will support her today and make decisions for her."

Mrs. Chang's heart sank when she heard that.

Mrs. Jing also did not expect why her always weak husband said such a thing today, "What do you say to support and make decisions? It is impossible that Mrs. Chang is not Molan's elder."

Master Zhang Er ignored his wife, but handed the document in his hand to Mrs. Chang, "The imperial court issued a document to ask the Chang family to return the remaining property to the Yang family. There is no serious person in charge of the pulse, and the Yang family has been able to survive until now because of Molan's housekeeping, I am Molan's uncle, and my mother's uncle is the eldest, I will help her to settle this account together today."

Master Zhang Er paused slightly after finishing these words, "Before this, I also made it clear that the property of the Yang family should belong to the Yang family. Neither the Chang family nor the Zhang family has the right to move it. If anyone becomes greedy, Don't blame me for being disrespectful."

Whoever became greedy was referring to her, Jing was trembling with anger, and wanted to argue with her husband, but found that the husband didn't even look at her, and looked at the son next to him who also lowered his head and didn't speak .

Mr. Zhang Er said: "I can't say anything else. I know exactly the dowry that our Zhang family brought into the Yang family." He said and looked at Mrs. Chang. Check it out, so we can go to the Yamen to invite the officials."

It was Mrs. Yang who made trouble before, but Mrs. Yang was just a woman and they would always delay it. Now it is Mr. Zhang Er...

Mrs. Chang was not good at arguing in front of the door, so she hurriedly welcomed Mr. Zhang Er and Yang Mo into the flower hall and sat down.

After a while, the Chang family invited Master Chang back.

Seeing Yang Mo who was drinking tea leisurely, Master Chang's chest was on fire. These days, the Qiao family arranged to deal with Yang Shi, why didn't they suppress Yang Shi's arrogance, but made her even more arrogant.

Master Chang glanced at Mrs. Chang next to her. Didn't her mother already arrange to marry Yiwan to the Zhang family, and the two families would be able to fight each other if they got married, why did this happen again now?

Master Chang patiently talked to Master Zhang Er, "Didn't we already talk about it last time, how could the Chang family have so many belongings from the Yang family."

"No?" Master Zhang Er raised his eyes, "Did the Yang family be handed over to Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Chang after Mrs. Yang passed away?"

"My mother is just a helper. Where did you get so many things? Besides, the Yang family has long been strong."

Master Zhang Er sneered, "Outside is strong but inside is good? If the Yang family has no money, how could the Chang family be willing to marry this kind of marriage? It's not because Molan has a lot of dowry."

Being exposed in this way, Elder Chang raised his eyebrows, "That's because the two families are related, so they want to get closer. Where did these words come from?"

Mr. Zhang Er said: "No?" After talking, Mr. Chang became fierce. One can imagine what he looks like to Molan on weekdays. The object of the family, why does Chang Wuye want to marry the young lady of the Qiao family now? How can there be such a coincidence in this world? Could it be that the Chang family and the Qiao family combined to plot against the Yang family?" (To be continued.
