...
A secret that could cause a bloody storm... Zhao Wujiang narrowed his eyes and said doubtfully:
"What amazing secret?"
"I don't know." Li Yuanzheng shook his head and said seriously:
"The secret of the Dragon Fault Sword was only mentioned casually by the master back then, but I can't remember exactly what it was.
But the junior sister must know. "
"As a senior brother, you don't even know. How can she know?" Zhao Wujiang was confused.
Li Yuanzheng nodded seriously, as if recalling the past, with a smile on his face:
"The junior sister was not originally from the master. When they first met, she recognized the Dragon Fault Sword and wanted to snatch it from the master.
But she was no match for her master. She was forced to retreat every time with one move.
The master cherished his talent and didn't do anything harsh, so the little junior sister kept pestering the master, and finally became a junior junior sister after joining the master's sect. "
It seems that this junior sister really knows the secret of the Dragon Fault Sword, otherwise she would not start to rob masters like Li Changfeng... Zhao Wujiang thought, becoming more and more curious about the secret of the Dragon Fault Sword, and at the same time, he The little junior sister Li Yuanzheng mentioned was also curious.
"I will put this sword away." Zhao Wujiang said with a faint smile:
"When your junior sister comes to Kyoto, I will ask her again.
By the way, how is your junior sister’s cultivation? "
"It should be about the same as me." Li Yuanzheng said seriously:
"She is not on the sword list, but her strength is definitely among the top twenty on the sword list."
Zhao Wujiang asked:
"You have the strength but don't enter?"
"Brother Zhao, you don't know this. There are many aristocratic families in the vast world.
There are very few people from the aristocratic family who show up to the public. Except for some extremely powerful people, most people will not be included in these lists. "
Li Yuanzheng talked eloquently:
"And the younger junior sister is from the Jiang family, her name is Jiang Mengli."
...
After Zhao Wujiang finished chatting with Li Yuanzheng, he put away the Broken Dragon Sword, then left Xingqingyuan and walked towards the imperial city.
Along the way, he slowly thought about it and made plans to form his own force.
In addition to the powerful ministers, he wanted to form a force that included the three religions and nine streams of Jianghu as his other path.
While his mind was racing, he had already arrived at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace. He walked towards the emperor's palace without stopping.
Pushing open the door, what he saw was that the empress was still reading books.
After Xuanyuan Jing ascended the throne, she would often go to the imperial study room early in the morning to deal with political affairs. Even in her free time, she would continue to read various books to gain more knowledge, arm her mind, and do better. Deal with political affairs and deal with those courtiers who are still stubborn.
"The Minister of War has been convicted."
The empress didn't raise her eyes. With her unique footsteps and breath, she knew that Zhao Wujiang had returned. However, she did not ask about Zhao Wujiang's related situation. She only told the results of some things in a cold tone:
"Selling war supplies, all those involved were executed, and the residence of the Minister of War was ransacked to show the public."
Zhao Wujiang nodded and dared to reach out to strategic materials. No matter what dynasty or generation he was, he must die. There was nothing wrong with the empress's decision, and it was even more majestic.
Even if Zhao Wujiang does not set up a trap for the Minister of War, the Minister of War will eventually go into the abyss step by step because of his insatiable greed. In the end, the incident will be discovered and executed by the empress, but the result will come slower.
"The matter of confiscating the house..." Zhao Wujiang rubbed his fingers. He wanted to recommend himself to the house confiscation.
Whether it is the superb martial arts that may be hidden in the Mansion of the Minister of War, or the object corresponding to the key, or the money that the Minister of War has accumulated over the years, the possible records of which courtiers he has collaborated with, etc., he wants to be in charge of this mission. The officer in charge of confiscation of homes.
"It's up to you to confiscate the house." The empress said calmly, her beautiful eyes buried in books.
Zhao Wujiang's eyes flickered and he hummed softly.
Some things don’t require asking why.
It is true that he and the empress are currently separated because of Dugu Mingyue's pregnancy, but as they get along, they have gradually developed a tacit understanding.
Just like yesterday, he wanted to tell the Empress about the Minister of War, and the Empress also wanted to tell the results of the investigation into the Minister of War.
And today, he wanted to be the chief officer of the house search, but the empress appointed him the position of chief officer without waiting for him to ask.
The two have a tacit understanding and trust in each other, despite the cold tone between them.
Zhao Wujiang also knew that the empress' decision would inevitably make many courtiers dissatisfied and criticize her as the emperor.
At the same time, Zhao Wujiang also understood that the empress did this as a sign of domineering and determination that was unique to her.
She wanted to tell the ministers that she would never allow outsiders to interfere in the matter of confiscating the Minister of War.
She wants to follow the line of the Minister of War and dig out more dirt in the court.
"Tomorrow morning, the imperial decree will be in your hands." The empress looked majestic and wanted to give a few more instructions. Even if the imperial decree reaches Zhao Wujiang tomorrow, many courtiers will stop it. This is inevitable. She is a little worried about Zhao Wujiang. Boundless...
Zhao Wujiang smiled gently:
"Do not worry."
The empress's eyes trembled, and she hummed slightly, turned over a page and continued reading.
