After instructing the Long Shadow Guards on the specific action plan to steal the Grand Master's edict, Yun Yaoyao summoned the members of Yaoyao's legion.
In the past few days, not only was Yun Yaoyao so busy that she could only cook four meals on time a day and had no time to savor all kinds of delicacies, but the other people were also too busy to touch the ground.
Looking around, Zhou Siren stretched and exercised his hip muscles with a painful expression from time to time. Lin Qingti and Di Shunzhi's dark circles were frighteningly large. Ning Shouli's face turned several degrees yellow, resembling an old chrysanthemum in late autumn. Shrunk and wrinkled!
Yun Yaoyao sighed with emotion: "My dear friends, you have worked hard during this time!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, a large number of rewards were distributed.
Seeing the reward that was placed in their hearts, several people swept away the fatigue on their faces and accepted it with tears in their eyes.
They don't want to tire themselves into corpses, but His Majesty has given them too much!
Help them up and they can still do it!
Several people started discussing Tu Shanze again.
The Tu Shanze matter involves a lot. A favored prince has been planning for the throne with premeditated plans. The forces behind him are definitely complicated and huge.
Even after experiencing successive blows during this period, the skinny camel was still bigger than the horse, and he had to guard against his backhand.
What Yun Yaoyao wants is to get rid of him in a legitimate and popular manner.
With the strength of the Long Shadow Guards, the imperial edict in Master Tu's hand should not be a threat.
The last two steps to kill Tu Shanze were only conclusive evidence that could stop the public from talking about Youyou and the last powerful line of defense to protect him, Yan Qinghong, the Minister of Punishment.
"Evidence" Yun Yaoyao is ready.
During this period, the Xiongnu secret guards came to report that her rumor-mongering concubine was getting along like a duck in water among the Xiongnu and performed extremely well.
Laying out a series of lies and traps, the old Hun King finally became convinced that his only remaining heir was serving as a hostage in the Yanchi Palace.
The dispute between the old king and the new king disturbed the Xiongnu's peace.
The Huns proposed to exchange General Ning Shoujiang for the proton Hu Yanmu, but this time it was Yan Chi who took the initiative, how could it be so easy to let the other side get what they wanted.
Yun Yaoyao directly sent Ni Tiezui, the censor who was the most argumentative (climbing up the pole) in the imperial court, to the border to serve as a negotiator. If he wanted to return to Huyanmu, he had to make them bleed once!
The evidence Yun Yaoyao needs will wait until Ning Shoujiang returns to the capital in three days.
As for the reception of Yan Qinghong, the Minister of Punishment, this matter is a bit tricky.
The troublesome thing is not Yan Qinghong himself, but the reason why he firmly stands in the Zewang camp---
His pair of love-minded children.
Yun Yaoyao returned to her thoughts and looked at several close ministers: "How have you learned about Yan Qinghong's family situation in the past few days?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone had complicated expressions and looked hard to judge.
Lin Qingti reported the results of the investigation in detail over the past few days.
In short, it is the story of a pair of sons and daughters of Yan Qinghong, the King of Hell who could stop children from crying at night, and their deep love for Tu Shanze.
Yan Qinghong was ruthless in the Criminal Department, but he was a filial son at home.
I wonder if it is true as his old mother often said, Yan Qinghong's hands were stained with too much blood, his sins were heavy, and the retribution will be on his heirs.
There were many women in Yan Qinghong's back house, but he only had two children, one boy and one girl. They were both born with weak bodies, so they were held in the palm of their hands and loved by the entire Yan family.
The second young lady of the Yan family who was inexperienced and well-protected fell into a trap in a carefully planned "carriage lost control to save the beauty". She lost her virginity and heart to Tu Shanze. Now she is four months pregnant and is secretly raising her baby in the Yan Mansion.
When the Yan family first found out about her affair with Tu Shanze, they tried to persuade her that he was not a lover and that dirty water would harm her health, so they asked her to have a miscarriage and break off the relationship. As a result, she hanged herself three times that night.
Young Master Yan, who carried the hopes of the entire Yan family, was rescued by Tu Shanze in a "drowning on a cruise ship". He said that he wanted to repay his kindness. After going back and forth and hugging him, he fell deeply in love with him.
He promised not to marry for the rest of his life. Faced with the persecution of the Yan family, he even committed suicide to express his determination, saying that it was difficult to find a close friend in this world. If he could not protect him and repay his kindness, he would give his life back to him.
Yan Qinghong used countless methods against these two stubborn people, both soft and hard. He was so angry that he almost used the ten severe forms of torture he invented, but failed to correct them.
In desperation, he had to secretly change from the Neutral Party to the Zewang Party.
After Lin Qing finished speaking, Di Shunzhi couldn't help but complain: "This is so shocking. The brother and sister fell in love with the same prince at the same time. Even the script would not dare to write like this!"
From the bottom of my heart: Thanks to the Yan family brothers and sisters for providing the material~
Ning Shouli had a look of fear on his face: "King Ze is really terrible at playing with and taking advantage of her emotions. Fortunately, His Majesty dissuaded this little girl, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous!"
Zhou Siren keenly grasped the key points and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, since you already know the reason why Yan Qinghong is on the side of King Ze, you still let Wei Chen and others investigate the situation of the Yan family brothers and sisters."
"But you want to start with the Yan family brothers and sisters to conquer Yan Qinghong?"
Yun Yaoyao nodded: "Yes, to solve the problem we have to start from the root cause."
Zhou Siren frowned and was worried. He had three troubled children at home, and he knew how frustrating and hopeless it was to educate children. It was an eternal problem.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, even Yan Qinghong, who is very clever, can't do anything to them. Your Majesty, if you want to take action, I'm afraid it will be a thankless task. And since it has something to do with feelings, I'm afraid it will be even harder..."
Yun Yaoyao agrees with what Zhou Siren said. Love brain is always difficult to deal with, but this time it is a dual love brain.
Based on the detailed information about the Yan family brothers and sisters submitted by Lin Qing, Yun Yaoyao replied while thinking deeply.
"It is indeed not easy, but it all shows that there is a tiger in the mountain, and you have to retreat..."
The clouds swayed for a moment.
Your mother-in-law has spoken out her true thoughts again!
Yun Yaoyao corrected her calmly: "This is wrong. We know that there are tigers in the mountains, so walking in the tiger mountains is the way to be a human being. Don't shrink back and be afraid when encountering difficulties. Only when you face difficulties can you forge ahead... blah blah blah. ..”
Zhou Siren, who had been taught a lesson, lowered his head in shame.
However, after reading the documents submitted, Yun Yaoyao had a general understanding of the brothers and sisters, and she had a countermeasure in mind.
She has a way of managing the affairs of the court and her ministers, but she has to manage people!
Yun Yaoyao curled her lips and ordered them one by one what they needed to do.
Half an hour later.
Yan Qinghong, who was supposed to return to Yan's mansion, was secretly invited to Qianqing Palace.
Just as he was about to salute anxiously, a voice came from above.
"Yan Shangshu, I know that you are from King Ze's camp, and I also know that you are related to King Ze because of your own children."
"I will not pursue anything that happened in the past, but this time, you want to protect King Ze in the storm. Do you know what the result will be?"
"If you are not careful, the entire Yan family will be destroyed!"
Yan Qinghong's pupils shrank, and he knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
He closed his eyes, looking defeated.
No matter how secretly he hid this matter, he finally let His Majesty know about it!
He didn't want to just stay in his position, pursue his career, and not participate in any party disputes. However, a pair of his children had a relationship with King Ze. One had a child, and the other repaid his kindness every day.
Unless we want to abandon this pair of children, cut off the relationship and drive them out of the house, otherwise...
Of course, he had tried this method, but the pair of scoundrels didn't care at all. They didn't even care about their lives and still went to King Ze.
Yan Qinghong's blood pressure rose when he thought of this.
Yun Yaoyao continued to exert pressure.
"To tell you the truth, King Ze's downfall is the general trend, and I already have ironclad evidence that is enough to execute him. If you want to protect him, for me, it is just a little troublesome, and it is not enough to change the final result."
"When the time comes to protect King Ze, after he fails and he dies, will you, as King Ze's party, still be able to achieve good results?"
"The lightest thing is to dismiss one's official position to serve the people, the most important thing is to protect Zhu, Lian, Jiu, and clans!"
As soon as Yan Qinghong's words came out, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Regardless of whether His Majesty's words are true or false, the stakes are real.
But he did not dare to change his position immediately.
His daughter is the heir of King Ze, and his son has dedicated almost everything to repay his kindness. After he became a member of King Ze's party, he did a lot for King Ze. This is an indisputable fact.
Will His Majesty really not pursue the matter at all afterwards? Does he really dare to trust himself?
And if his stubborn children knew that he had tried hard to kill King Ze, they might wipe their necks and follow King Ze in front of him.
Yan Qinghong didn't dare to gamble.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and faced the pressure and said: "Your Majesty, the children in the family are not sensible, and the ministers will teach them well, but the ministers are not people who favor public interests for personal gain!"
"There is indeed no conclusive evidence to convict King Ze. King Ze is a prince, and it is inappropriate to be locked up in a prison..."
"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here because of these prevarications!" Yun Yaoyao interrupted.
After some beating, it’s time to give a sweet date and flatbread.
Yun Yaoyao said again: "I will get rid of the rest of King Ze's party without mercy, but for you, I have the heart to cherish your talents, so I called you here today."
"I can clearly remember all your achievements since you entered the Ministry of Justice. You are a rare minister..."
Yan Qinghong was stunned by the sudden praise. Although he was still frightened and uneasy, at least he was praised for his abilities and he was quite satisfied.
At this time, the king's eyes suddenly became serious and he said slowly.
"In three days, if I allow a pair of your children to voluntarily sever ties with King Ze, you will switch sides from King Ze's party to the royalist party and be used by me!"
"This is my sincerity to conquer you."
"Yan Qinghong, do you want to answer or not?"
Yan Qinghong noticed that the other party used the word "conquer", which gave him some respect and trust.
As the Ninth Five Supreme Being, Yan Qinghong was a little moved by the fact that the other party was willing to condescend to do these things.
This matter is beneficial and harmless, but now the future of following King Ze is really slim.
Moreover, if Your Majesty can really bring his stubborn son and daughter together, let alone defection, you can even make him fall!
Yan Qinghong nodded to the ground and said solemnly: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
