In the imperial garden, a graceful woman in palace clothes sat there and watched the koi coming and going in the pond. Several maids around her threw the bait in their hands from time to time, causing the fish to fight for it. .
The woman had a beautiful face, and her eyes were shining. She looked at the koi in the pond calmly, and said with a smile: "You little girls, you know how to make me happy all day long."
A pretty maid smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's only ten years since you smiled. It's summer again now, when flowers are blooming and koi fish are swimming. It would be best if we often accompany the Queen Mother out for a walk in the future."
"You are right, the queen mother should come out more often and not stay in the room all day long."
When the maids heard this voice, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Slave servants, please see your majesty."
"Everyone, get up. My mother and I will be alone for a while, and you can go and do your work."
After the maids left, the empress bowed with a smile: "My child, please see your mother."
Tai Wei Zifu smiled and said: "Why, are you encountering some difficulties again? Let me guess."
"Is it about King Su?"
The empress shook her head: "My mother didn't guess right this time. It's about Liu Yijin."
Wei Zifu was stunned: "Is this the long-term worker of Zhou Papi's family in Qinghe Town that you mentioned?"
"Exactly."
Wei Zifu looked at the empress' frown and couldn't help but laugh: "You've already rewarded him, haven't you? What else do you want?"
The empress smiled bitterly and said: "The key is that this guy actually resisted the order."
"Oh?" Wei Zifu became curious: "The things that ministers often rebel against actually happened to a small long-term worker. This makes me a little surprised."
The empress pondered: "Yes, I never expected that I would meet a guy who regards money as dirt. The twenty-year-old Wolf Guard Chief is the only one in the history of the Daqian Dynasty. I gave him such a big gift." Glory, he was not moved at all."
Tai Wei Zifu said with a smile: "Maybe he looks down on this honor, or maybe he really doesn't care."
The Queen Mother's words silenced the Empress.
"Why, it's hard to judge?"
The empress dowager naturally knows clearly what the empress is thinking.
"Mother, now that the matter of Guanyin has come to light, all the officials in the court have written to me to let Prince Su go, but..."
The Crown Prince Zifu sighed: "King Su has a very high prestige in the army, but it concerns Maitreya Buddhism. If King Su is really related to it, he will definitely suffer harm if he is released."
"But if you don't let it go, it will naturally cause unnecessary trouble."
Wei Zifu stared at the koi in the pond, slightly lost in thought.
The empress hesitated for a moment: "Mother, if King Su is really related to Maitreya Buddhism, can I kill him?"
Wei Zifu's fingers trembled slightly, then nodded: "It is related to the fate of the country, so it must be handled with caution. If King Su really participates in the rebellion, even if the ministers object, we must avoid future troubles."
The empress hesitated: "But what if Prince Su has nothing to do with this matter?"
Wei Zifu remained silent, but his eyes fell on the koi in the pond: "When the water is clear, you can't see the fish."
"Since the founding of Daqian, Maitreya Buddhism has been a serious problem. If Maitreya Buddhism can be solved once and for all through this matter, King Su can also be used."
In the innermost cell of the heavily guarded imperial capital prison, a long-haired man in prison uniform sat there calmly, with a table of good wine and food in front of him.
The long-haired man gently filled the glass with wine and took a sip slowly: "Why did the prime minister have the leisure to come over to see me today?"
Prime Minister Liu Yong chuckled and said: "Wei Chen has been busy with other things during this period. Today I have the opportunity to come over and have a few drinks with His Highness Prince Su."
King Su smiled faintly and remained silent.
Liu Yong picked up a peanut and said with a smile: "An interesting thing happened in the court recently. I wonder if His Highness knows about it."
"I would like to know, but no one told me."
Liu Yong was stunned and couldn't help but chuckled: "I have forgotten His Highness's current identity."
King Su glanced at Liu Yong and saw that the latter's eyes were calm. He smiled lightly and said, "Yes, now I am a thief and you are a minister."
Liu Yong stood up in a hurry: "I don't dare. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knows that His Highness has been wronged, and the old ministers have united with other ministers to write to Your Majesty, requesting Your Majesty to release King Su as soon as possible to control the border, but?"
King Su frowned slightly: "Why, is your Majesty unwilling?"
Liu Yong was overjoyed, but a look of embarrassment appeared on his face: "But the memorial has been submitted for several days, and there has been no reply from His Majesty."
King Su's face suddenly darkened.
Liu Yong said hurriedly: "Perhaps in the next day or two, I believe His Majesty will issue an order."
"But what is gratifying is that the batch of official silver that was lost at the border has been found."
"Oh?" King Su's calm face showed a trace of emotion: "Who found out."
"Liu Yijin is just a long-term employee of the local landowner Zhou Papi's family."
"Oh?" This time, King Su was a little shocked: "How can a long-term worker solve such a big case?"
Prime Minister Liu Yong sighed: "Who can say otherwise? This Liu Yijin is like a divine help. He caught a monk who jumped into the Zhou Mansion and committed adultery. Just because there was a statue of Maitreya Buddha in his neck, he was able to dig out Maitreya Buddhism. It is simply unbelievable that you can find the stolen official silver just by walking around the mountain behind Piao Miao Temple."
King Su looked at Liu Yong quietly: "It seems that the prime minister is very interested in this matter."
Liu Yong laughed: "To be honest, not only me, but also the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are full of curiosity about this little guy. However, I heard that all the rewards given by His Majesty have been returned by him."
King Su couldn't figure out Liu Yong's trump card for a while, and said with a smile: "He is an interesting guy."
Liu Yong looked at King Su with burning eyes: "King Su has been guarding the border for many years, and he also selected a group of young people as the border reserve team. I don't know if he has any impression of this boy."
Liu Yong's words made King Su narrow his eyes slightly: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
Liu Yong laughed: "Your Highness Prince Su, don't get me wrong, I just asked casually."
"It's getting late. Wei Chen still has things to do, so I'll leave first."
Liu Yong turned around and walked out. After exiting the Tianlao gate, he waved to a carriage not far away and stopped in front of him.
After getting on the carriage, a woman in white clothes looked respectful: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"It seems that King Su doesn't know about this Liu Yijin."
"Then do we want it?" The woman made a motion towards her neck.
"It's easy to kill a long-term worker, but why don't you treat him as someone like King Su?"
The woman in white was stunned: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
Liu Yong laughed: "Isn't the reason why your Maitreya Buddhism has not been eliminated for so long is that officials from various places have protected it."
The woman in white hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, our Maitreya Buddhism just wants to find a place to survive. In fact, it has no other meaning."
Liu Yong smiled lightly: "I don't care what you Maitreya Buddhists want to do, but there is one thing that is my bottom line. I hope you can understand."
"For my use, you still have a glimmer of hope. If you dare to have any evil thoughts, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The woman in white hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, we Maitreya Buddhism will definitely obey your orders."
Liu Yong smiled lightly: "Just understand. It's up to you what to do next."
The woman in white was stunned: "Sir, are you asking us to build momentum for Liu Yijin?"
Liu Yong smiled and said: "As for how to do it, you can figure it out yourself."
