Chapter 528
Under the heavy rain, the imperial guards surrounding the palace also began to change their defenses. When the crowd was crowded, two people left the palace without anyone noticing.

One of them came to Liu Qi's residence.

Liu Qi hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past two days, but after the heavy rain, he felt drowsy, and just as he leaned on the soft couch, his confidant brought a drowned chicken in.

This person brought a message from the emperor, asking Liu Qi to enter the palace immediately.

Liu Qi asked someone to bring his special carriage into the palace first, changed his clothes, and then quietly went out through the back door. He braved the heavy rain and arrived at the back door of the Su Mansion first. After muttering with Xie Jue for a while, he quietly left the Su Mansion again. After taking off his clothes, he entered the palace through an inconspicuous small door.

After changing back with the double who was wearing a cloak covering his head and face, he entered the Emperor's Qiankun Hall.

Seeing the emperor's appearance, Liu Qi was startled: "What's the matter, Your Majesty? I just went to ask this morning, Miss Su is recovering very well, and there is no serious problem."

His face was dark and haggard, exactly the same as when he was in the queen's palace.

"Really, is Yue'er all right?" The emperor's complexion improved a bit, and he asked with some joy. After asking, in Liu Qi's nod, he saw the expressions of He Gonggong and Ding Gonggong again, and hurriedly coughed Said: "Old He, tell him about the matter."

"That's right." Eunuch He coughed softly, and told the story from beginning to end in a low voice.

It is said that Liu Qi's face turned white, then dark, then blue, then purple, and finally turned green.

It looked almost like the emperor's face.

In Liu Qi's heart, it was as if ten thousand muddy horses ran past, and he didn't know how to describe it.

You said, the emperor, how unlucky are you?
If Cai Bing and Concubine Li's treacherous scheme really succeeds, you are planning to kill your father, but you killed your dearest elder brother, and even fucked your wife first, making you the son of a man who has been a bastard for 13 years. Get the king's family.

Even if he died, he would have no face to see his ancestors!

After hearing Eunuch He's last words, Liu Qi read aloud: "Amitabha, God has eyes!"

"Stop chanting Buddha's name, tell me what to do now?" The emperor said anxiously: "Besides, it's not that God has eyes, it's Yue'er who saved me!"

Liu Qi cast a glance at him.

Scratching his head, rolling his eyes a few times, he said: "Of course we want to kill Cai Bing, and press him to death, so that those stinky civil servants don't dare to be troublesome. Cai Bing’s rebellious party went to prison together with the party! Back then, the late emperor could have bloodbathed the capital twice. Your majesty is kind-hearted, so if you don’t kill so many people, it’s okay to kill a few!”

The emperor smiled wryly: "Of course I also know."

How can I do it?

"Your majesty, after all, the sixth son was raised by you." Liu Qi rolled his eyes a few more times and said, "With your kindness, you will not execute him."

"That's natural, that child..." The emperor sighed deeply, looking at Liu Qi's appearance, he felt something was wrong, and said, "Say it directly, what's your idea?"

Liu Qi knelt down with a thud, and said: "I dare you, I want to ask the emperor to agree to make a deal with that person and Concubine Li. The emperor will keep the sixth son alive, but he will be demoted to a commoner and given a certain amount of property. Let the six princes go out of the palace to live, while Concubine Li and that person confessed the truth about the assassin's assassination back then, identifying that the main messenger of the assassination was Cai Bing, and today's murder of the two princes and the assassination of the emperor were all caused by Cai Bing. Instigated by Bing!"

"Ah?" The emperor was stunned.

"Your Majesty, now you know that all of this was done by Cai Bing, and that King An already has the evidence of the dragon robe and crown, what is missing is nothing more than confessions and witnesses." Liu Qi raised his head and said: "As long as Cai Bing ordered Concubine Li and the eunuch of the criminal palace to kill him, and Cai Bing asked Princess An to give him the dragon robe and crown. Let him be enthroned as emperor, so the evidence is so strong, who would dare to defend Cai Bing?"

The emperor frowned slightly in thought.

"But my son, why did you bring up the matter of the prince?" Eunuch Ding glanced at the emperor and asked aloud.

"Concubine Li has a son herself. If Cai Bing didn't have a handle, how could she be willing to work for Cai Bing? After assassinating the emperor, it would be better for her son to take the throne. Why did she give up the throne to Prince An?" Liu Qi said coldly. He snorted coldly, and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, you have always wanted to do this, right?"

"Brother Prince is too wronged." The emperor sighed and said, "But after all, it is the first emperor..."

"The first emperor was just deceived. If Cai Bing and the fourth prince hadn't resorted to such vicious schemes...Moreover, the first emperor did not publicly torture the first prince on this matter." Liu Qi said in a deep voice.

"That's true." The emperor nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

"By the way, the emperor, I have something to report to the emperor." Liu Qi stood up with the emperor's hand, and said: "In the past two months, the price of silk and precious stones in the capital has risen sharply, and I should have delivered goods to the emperor. The caravan has not yet arrived, and today, the steward of the minister came back and said that the goods cannot be transported because the road tax along the way is too high and expensive, and the silk and other things from Hangzhou and Yangzhou cannot be delivered!"

"Ah?" The emperor was stunned.

Is this turning point too fast?How did you get to Silk?
By the way, Yue'er said that she didn't see a merchant ship when she came here, and she also said that in Shangqiu, because there was no crepe this year, the maid of the Chen family almost smashed the shop.

"Your Majesty, the road tax is so high, and all of it goes into the pockets of local officials. Merchants dare not go to business, and the circulation of goods in the whole country will be cut off. The capital has a large population, and most of the things needed are shipped from various places. At this time, because there are still stocks, but once the stocks are used up, not only the price of rice will rise, but all prices will rise. Your Majesty, I am afraid that there will be civil unrest at that time!"

Seeing that the emperor still didn't understand, Liu Qi said directly: "Let's put it this way, I didn't understand why Cai Bing made the new tax law, but now I know that Cai Bing is a villain. I made up my mind to kill you, the emperor. Think about it, who will have a headache when the capital is in chaos? You? But where did all the money go? Cai Bingna! And Han Xiang! 80! It was Cai Bing who divided the dirt for Prime Minister Han!"

"They! They!" The emperor opened his mouth, so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"They are just bullying you! My emperor!" Liu Qi continued for him!
"Then..." The emperor looked at Liu Qi expectantly.

Since you discovered the conspiracy, there should be a solution, right?
"Your Majesty, when the incident with the former crown prince happened, the minister was still young, but I remember that after the incident with the former crown prince, there were a lot fewer capable ministers in the court. Then Prime Minister Han came to power by relying on the incident with the former crown prince. He and Cai Bing formed a clique for private interests and controlled the government. Many capable ministers either disdained to work with him and went to serve as officials, or they were demoted and punished by them, so that there was no one in the court." Liu Qi did not stop doing two things. He said: "Now that they dare to bully you like this, they bully you because you have no one of your own, so Cai Bing will be arrested, and Prime Minister Han's mansion will also be searched. As long as they find evidence that Cai Bing gave money to Prime Minister Han, they will not kill him. You can also dismiss him, as well as those guys who colluded with Cai Bing, all dismissed!"

"Remove all of them?" the emperor opened his mouth wide open, surprised.

Then who will help me manage the government?
"Your majesty, this time, you have cleared away the grievances of the former prince and found the real perpetrator. The upright students in this world will definitely be loyal to you. Your majesty, why do you have no one to use? You see, Mr. Gao is doing very well in Liangzhe Road, and everyone can see his political achievements, so he can be promoted to the cabinet directly." Liu Qi closed his eyes, thinking about the extra [-]% spice dividend, said : "As for the Liangzhe Road, I remember that there was an official named Bai Zhi with a very good official voice. He was framed by the third prince and the fourth prince. The late emperor was reluctant to kill him. The emperor can reactivate this person and go back to the Liangzhe Road to transfer. Make."

"Baizhi?" The emperor thought for a while and said, "When you said it, I really remembered that that person was indeed wronged!"

Mr. Gao has been on Liangzhe Road in the past few years. He has mentioned this person several times in the booklets, saying that this person left excellent laws and regulations on Liangzhe Road. Unfortunately, they were all abolished by the surname Yao. Now Mr. Gao only Can work hard to recover, but can't do what Bai Zhi did back then.

"Yes, there are more." Seeing the drama, Liu Qi hurriedly said: "The other ministers don't understand, but the minister is in the spice business and has a lot of dealings with maritime merchants. They all say that He Ming, the shipping director of Quanzhou City, is a good man. Officer, isn't the transfer envoy on Fujian Road also due? Your Majesty, you can bring them up. These people are all mentioned by your Majesty. They must be loyal to you, and they will definitely not work hard for you like those from the Ministry of Account Wear small shoes!"

As soon as the Ministry of Households was mentioned, the emperor thought of the brochure, showed it to Liu Qi, and said, "Look at this."

After reading it quickly, Liu Qi scolded: "What a bunch of moths! There is such a bully!"

"They really are using Yue'er to deceive the gap!" The emperor also said angrily.

"Uh, your majesty, are you smarter today..." Blunted, Liu Qi hurriedly said: "No, they are just bullying you, I tell you, although I don't make this tea, but as a qualified The businessman, I still know the yield of this tea. Let’s remove the good tea, and calculate according to 150 catties of loose tea per mu. Ten percent of the 750 million mu of tea hills is 150 million catties Tea, even if these teas are the cheapest loose tea, they cost 150 Wen per catty. What's more, this is Fujian, the most expensive tea place in Song Dynasty. Let's count it as [-] Wen per catty, which is [-] Wan Guan! This year's [-] million Guan is equivalent to getting into the pockets of those people!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Qi added coolly: "Your Majesty agreed, and you and Miss Su will be blamed when the time comes."

"Free! Absolutely free!" the emperor said angrily.

After the anger was over, he said again: "How to avoid it?"

This Cai Bingzao can be arrested directly, but what about those people in the household department?
"Your Majesty." Liu Qi said with a chuckle, "Didn't Chen Hanming come back? How could he let go of such a good opportunity? Your Majesty, as long as you disclose some information, Chen Hanming will naturally help you to bite it."

The emperor's face moved slightly, and his displeasure flashed: "Isn't this going to let Chen Hanming enter the cabinet?"

Liu Qi's heart moved, but his face did not show it: "Yes, the emperor can call Mr. Fu Da into the palace. This time, the emperor is righteous and only confines the queen in the palace. It is a great kindness to the Fu family. Naturally, they will be loyal to the emperor, and those literati are the most quarrelsome, you let Mr. Fu Da enter the court, and leave the quarrel to them."

Anyway, the cabinet can have five prime ministers!
"That's it! Very good!" The emperor nodded and said: "What else do you have, just heard about some good officials? Tell me about it, and we will draw up the decree together."

But in my heart, I couldn't help but think of Su Yue again. If Yue'er hadn't persuaded him in that situation, how could he be in this situation.

He was bullied to death for wearing a green hat a long time ago.
