Chapter 517 Shocking
On the 25th day of the first lunar month, a sensational news came from central Beijing, saying that a group of bandits appeared on the trail leading to the capital, but for some reason, the bandits robbed a convoy of darts, and there was a person in it who said When the news about the fifth prince of the dynasty spread, Jing Zhaoyin had already led the crowd to arrest a group of people.

Also on the same day, Jing Zhaoyin's police officers found a group of peddlers on the official road leading to the capital from Jiangnan Road. The peddlers had dozens of carriages, each of which was filled with fine gold. Jing Zhaoyin's The policeman felt that there was something wrong with this matter, so he detained the caravan first.

The dynasty was only opened on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and after the opening of the dynasty, there was such a sensation in the capital. Suddenly, not only the court, but also the common people talked about it after dinner.

In the imperial study room, Huangfu Ye sat next to Emperor Zhaowu, flipping through the memorial in his hand, and Emperor Zhaowu looked at him with a stingy look on his face, and said in a deep voice.

"If you can't sit still, go out, so as not to be an eyesore in front of me. I asked you to help read the memorial, not to drink tea!"

Huangfuye put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and was about to leave, but before he could leave the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu called him back again.

"Come back! You haven't answered my question yet, why are you running away in such a hurry?"

Huangfu Ye said with a rascal face: "Just now, the father let the son go. The son just obeyed the father's order. I don't know what else the father ordered?"

"I'm asking you about Jing Zhaoyin's report today. What do you think of the bandits and the caravan?"

Emperor Zhaowu looked at the son in front of him. Since Nanyuan came back, this son's attitude towards him was completely different. No matter what he did or said, he always looked indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"Father's question is strange. Shouldn't father discuss with the crown prince about matters related to the government? It's also against the rules for father to ask his sons and ministers to help read the papers. Now that there is a prince, all this should be handed over to the prince." Prince, my son is an outsider, and I really don't want to get involved in it."

Huangfu Ye turned around, he looked at Emperor Zhaowu in front of him with a serious look, met his bottomless eyes, and told Emperor Zhaowu truthfully.

"What an 'outsider'! Aren't you my son? Shouldn't you share my worries?"

Emperor Zhaowu remembered that before, Huangfu Ye could always give him pertinent and appropriate suggestions on any matter, but now Huangfu Ye seemed to be a different person, he had not mentioned to him anything related to the government for a long time.

"I heard that the fifth younger brother is still in the Jingzhaoyin mansion. I will go to the Jingzhaoyin mansion first to confirm whether that person is the fifth younger brother. I will resign!"

Seeing Huangfu Ye striding out of the imperial study room, Emperor Zhaowu sat slumped, he knew in his heart that what happened in Nanyuan was indeed biased against Huangfusong, but now that Huangfusong has been demoted to be the king of the county, could it be that he did something wrong? not enough?
When Emperor Zhaowu was upset, Lu Zhong came to report that Concubine Chen had brought some cakes to visit the emperor. Emperor Zhaowu closed his eyes and nodded, signaling Lu Zhong to bring Concubine Chen in.

When Concubine Chen came in, a trace of sadness flashed in Emperor Zhaowu's eyes. He remembered how she was dressed in bright clothes when she was a noble concubine, and compared her clean appearance in front of him. Is it the woman he has loved for more than ten years? It's a pity.

"My concubine pays my respects to the emperor. Today, I have made a few cakes that the emperor loved in the past. Why don't you try them?"
