The carriage left Guo Mansion and headed straight towards the palace.
Near midnight, the palace had already fallen into darkness, and everything was silent.
Except for the guards who patrolled on time, there was no sign or movement.
After returning to the palace, Song Huan was not in a hurry to rest, but quickly went to the Yangxin Hall.
Sure enough, as expected, the lights in the Yangxin Hall were still bright.
Emperor Liang was wearing a coat, leaning over the table and reading the book.
At this moment, without the imperial attire, he looked no different from an elder of an ordinary family.
Seeing that Emperor Liang was still busy with government affairs late at night, Song Huan couldn't help but stepped forward and reminded him: "Father, it's late at night, so you should go to bed early!"
"Huh?" Seeing that Song Huan was here, Emperor Liang showed a faint smile and put down the memorial in his hand, "Where have you been, kid, so late?"
Song Huan sighed slightly, took out the sandalwood box he brought from the Guo Mansion, and presented it in front of Emperor Liang with both hands.
"My son, I really don't want my father to hear these terrible things. You have been busy with government affairs recently, and you are already overworked."
"If I hear these messy things again, wouldn't my mind become even more restless and my dragon's body even more uneasy!"
Looking at the wooden box on the table, Emperor Liang's smile faded.
"Fourth, what is this?"
Song Huan said honestly, "I'm afraid there's something you don't know, Father!"
"After the court this morning, I received a threatening letter."
"The letter threatens my son that if he doesn't release Zheng Yuan quickly, he will harm the prime minister's daughter, Cheng Susu!"
"Tell me, how courageous is this man? Not only does he dare to threaten the prince, I, but he even dares to kidnap the Prime Minister's daughter!"
Hearing this, Emperor Liang frowned deeply.
"Did Shangguan Yi do this?"
"How dare he be so bold and unscrupulous?"
Song Huan shook his head: "Shangguanyi acts cautiously and has cut ties with the Zheng family and his son long ago. This matter must not have been done by him."
"But, it doesn't mean it has nothing to do with him!"
"Because after investigation by my ministers, it was actually his second daughter, Shangguan Hanxing, who did this..."
"However, my son has immediately taken her and her concubine to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Shangguan Hanxing still looks fearless, but her mistress is very timid and has already taken advantage of everything!"
"Now I am a little hesitant. Because Shangguan Hanxing has a special status, I don't know how to punish him..."
Hearing Shangguan Hanxing's name, Emperor Liang's face became even more ugly.
"There is nothing special about her identity. What should be done according to the laws of Daliang? Let's do it according to the laws of Daliang!"
"You don't need to be embarrassed!"
Song Huan nodded: "Yes, I will leave this matter to Qi Yuandao, the Minister of Punishment."
"But after sending Miss Cheng back to the house today, I encountered something else!"
"Guo Tiande, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stopped my son, saying that he and Shangguan Hanxing were in love, and wanted to ask my son to release Shangguan Hanxing."
"In the wooden box is the favor money he gave to his son!"
"..." Emperor Liang was speechless for a moment. He felt that there were too many words to say and he didn't even know where to start!
"Didn't you say that Shangguan Hanxing has recruited all his concubines?"
"You mean, Shangguan Hanxing has more than one concubine?"
Song Huan hesitated and nodded.
Emperor Liang did not dwell too much on this topic, but was silently shocked.
Although she knew that Queen Shangguan and her younger sister looked very similar, their personalities were completely different.
But Emperor Liang did not expect that Shangguan Hanxing's private life would become such a mess!
Emperor Liang reached out and opened the wooden box on the table. What came into view was a stack of banknotes and a letter.
After briefly glancing at the banknote, Emperor Liang's expression turned serious.
"These ten thousand taels are the benefits Guo Tiande gave you?"
Song Huan nodded: "I didn't expect that Guo Tiande would be so generous in order to save his old lover!"
Of course, Guo Tiande himself is more generous.
But now that Daliang's treasury is already full, it shouldn't hurt to take a small kickback!
Emperor Liang picked up the confidant in the wooden box and took a brief look at it, but his stomach was turbulent.
"...presumptuous, really presumptuous!"
"Is this me, the court minister of Liang Dynasty?"
"Every day, we are doing such shameless things!"
Seeing that Emperor Liang was a little agitated, Song Huan quickly spoke to comfort him: "Father, don't be angry!"
"In fact, problems are gradually emerging, which is a good thing."
"Over the years, Daliang's officialdom has actually long been dominated by outsiders and incompetent officials, and there are many invisible problems."
"It's like a lake with surging undercurrents. It looks calm on the surface, but in fact it's undercurrents!"
"Even if you want to start rectifying it, you can't find any clues."
"But now, if there is a problem and you have clues, you have the opportunity to take action!"
Emperor Liang was furious and was in a state of rage.
However, Song Huan's words made his eyes light up and he opened up new ideas.
yes!
Something happened to the Zheng family and his son, which implicated the system of the personnel department, and Emperor Liang had not had time to deal with it.
Before the mess in the Ministry of Personnel has been dealt with, another problem arises in the Ministry of Punishment!
The previous case of the Ministry of Husbandry implicated Li Hua, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
Now that Li Hua has been suspended for investigation, the Ministry of Punishment has been handed over to the management of the two ministers on the left and right.
As a result, now that the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment is having problems again, wouldn't it be a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to make drastic changes to the Ministry of Punishment?
The official department and the criminal department are all places where the imperial master's gang members are spread.
Now, isn’t this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
Thinking of this, Emperor Liang glanced at Song Huan with admiration.
"I can't tell that you know how to take advantage of your own strength and take advantage of the situation!"
"You have done a great job in reorganizing the court this time. Tell me, what is your wish that you want me to help you achieve?"
Song Huan bowed respectfully.
"Thank you, Father!"
"My son does have a wish, but it is not related to him."
"Rather, it has something to do with the prince!"
"Prince?" Emperor Liang raised his eyebrows and blurted out subconsciously, "Do you want to be the prince?"
"No, no, no!" Song Huan denied repeatedly, "I mean, my wish is related to my eldest brother!"
After hearing this, Emperor Liang finally realized.
"Prince?"
"What does your wish have to do with him?"
Although half a month has passed since Song Yu peeked at the memorial, Emperor Liang still looked sulky when he mentioned his unfulfilled son.
Ever since he was young, he had really put too much care and expectations into him.
She has never even paid attention to his movements and is very confident in his choice as the crown prince.
But I didn’t expect that all my hard work would eventually be rewarded like this!
Emperor Liang was naturally disappointed.
Although the disappointment in Emperor Liang's eyes only flashed across his eyes, it was still keenly captured by Song Huan.
Fortunately, it’s enough to be disappointed with this son!
If Emperor Liang had no feelings for Song Yu for a long time, wouldn't it mean nothing if he saw Song Yu going crazy in the future?
