Chapter 317

Emperor Renhe remained silent for a long time. After reading the booklet, Li Wan felt uneasy. In her previous life, she provided Liu Jinyuan with many letters between Qin Muyin and King Cheng. The booklet did not mention that Shi Zhen was King Jingkang. People around me, some of the things mentioned in the notebook are open to discussion. The old Marquis of Yongping Hou Mansion is cautious and meticulous, and it is impossible to leave such a big loophole for Qin Muyin to turn around. Li Wan pondered this matter carefully, Shi Zhen impeached Qin Muyin colluded with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Qin Yuan was recommended by Qin Muyin for the position, and the two are uncles and nephews. Even if it is not a normal relationship, others should know that the relationship between the two families is not shallow, implying that Qin Muyin and Cheng Wang formed a party for personal gain. With a few strokes, it is not the style of the Yongping Hou Mansion to handle affairs at all.

"Your Majesty, my wife is finished." Li Wan closed the booklet and handed it to the father-in-law beside him obediently. The reason for the emperor's fury was nothing more than the list, and the things discussed later were all Lord Shi Zhen's guesses. A seed of doubt was planted in the emperor's heart.

Emperor Renhe looked at him from the left, turned his head slightly to the queen who had not spoken, and asked calmly, "Queen, what do you think?"

The queen was asked inexplicably, but without any hesitation, she said, "The harem is not allowed to be involved in politics. It's hard for a concubine to talk about such a thing. If you are asking about Lord Qin's character, a concubine can talk about it."

Emperor Renhe nodded, very satisfied with the empress' expression and tone, leaning on the table with his hands, ready to listen carefully, "Then empress, tell me about that child Muyin."

"That child was watched by the emperor and his concubine. He looks very much like the old lord. The concubine remembers that when he came to the palace when he was young, there were court ladies and eunuchs pointing at him. The Xia family didn't like to go out, and the old lord died again. Well, children who are a few years old have suffered a lot of stares in the palace. The emperor may not be aware of it. Some words, no matter how courageous the palace people are, they would not dare to pass them into your ears. The concubine has heard a lot. My concubine has no children, so I love him a little bit more, but he acts like a normal person and doesn't care about other people's pointing fingers. Isn't this kind of mind the same as when the old Marquis was young..."

Emperor Renhe froze, everyone said that Qin Muyin resembled the old Hou Ye, yes, he did, but there was also a bit of a downside, he would be stuck to the end if he recognized a person, and he would not be able to pull it back.

Recalling the past, Emperor Renhe frowned, the court was stable and no one dared to disobey him. Gradually, he felt more and more guilty towards Beiyanhoufu, so he often declared Qin Muyin to enter the palace. He didn't know the attitude, every time he wanted to summon Qin Muyin to the palace, Qin Muyin would come to the palace, and he would tell him many troubles, how old the child didn't understand anything, so he just listened and comforted him from time to time. A sentence, "If they are disobedient, you can just reprimand them, why bother to get angry?"

Qin Muyin didn't understand what was going on in the court, so he had no scruples when talking to him, and occasionally he could hear about a minister's behavior. During that time, Emperor Renhe's mood eased a lot.

He also knew about the palace people mocking Qin Muyin once, it was the first time he got angry since he came to the throne, and killed many people with a cane, only after listening to the Queen's talk did he understand that he had suffered so much grievance.

Emperor Renhe raised his head, leaned on Longtao, tapped his thighs with his hands, and said casually, "Li Shi, you mean that Shi Zhen's impeachment is all nonsense?"

One of the reasons why Emperor Renhe had doubts was that he knew that within two days, Shi Zhen would still hand over the booklet, which was the evidence about Qin Muyin and Cheng Wang forming a party for selfish purposes to rebel. He kicked his calf and fell into a coma for several days. The body was exhausted, and there was a lot of rumors about his coma in the court, those who were restless were jumping up and down, and those who were in Ansheng were waiting to see a good show. He tidied up the ministers one by one.

His eyes fell on Li Wan, waiting for her answer.

Li Wan lowered her head, remained silent for a long while, then raised her face, her luminescent eyes were full of clarity, and said word by word, "Your Majesty, there are many things Lord Shi said that the ministers and wives are not clear about, and they are puzzled in their hearts. All the names of the people are listed one by one, but the next few things are just mentioned in one stroke. For example, Hou Ye and Cheng Wang colluded to buy court officials in many places. These Lord Shi did not go into details. Yes, Mr. Shi has been living in Beijing, where did he hear it, not to mention his wife, the emperor summoned the cabinet to ask, if this kind of thing hadn't been heard by everyone in Beijing, Mr. Shi would not be able to understand it. Hearing the wind, why didn't the minister's wife hear about it?"

King Jingkang had a good plan, but unfortunately he miscalculated. The emperor imprisoned Qin Muyin because he was suspicious of the Beiyanhou Mansion, and even more jealous. If the emperor can doubt Cheng Wang and Qin Muyin, he can also doubt Shi Zhen and himself. The emperor's mind is not looking at the evidence but who is more suspicious.

Emperor Renhe raised his eyebrows when he heard this, his face was still a little pale, but there was a gleam of light in his eyes, Li Wan knew that she had touched the heart of the emperor, so she continued to speak harshly, "The minister's wife is in the Marquis's mansion, and the outside affairs, the Marquis, I never told my courtier's wife, but at this time, my courtier's wife still hasn't heard anyone in the capital talking about Lord Hou and King Cheng's bribery of officials, but rumors that Lord Hou and the queen empress deliberately concealed the poisoning of the emperor to deceive the emperor. The king's crime is unforgivable, the emperor can send someone out to inquire about it..."

Emperor Renhe didn't need to inquire, Li Wan was telling the truth. He just woke up and waited for ministers to see him at the gate of the palace one after another. If it were to be spread out, all civil and military officials would have no leader, and the border might not be peaceful.

The queen was not flustered at all when she heard that she was also involved, her eyebrows stretched, and her expression was calm, "Your Majesty, it was my concubine's intention to conceal your poisoning. After Dr. Zhang took the pulse, he secretly told Mu Yin, but Mu Yin couldn't make up his mind, and the concubine came up with this idea after learning about it."

"I'm not blaming you. You handled my coma well. Well, I'm tired too. Let's talk about it later." Although Emperor Renhe felt that it was impossible for Qin Muyin to form a party and keep secrets, he still wanted to wait. Shi Zhen would No new evidence will be presented.
