Zhao Shan looked Xiao Shuyu up and down and ordered: "Write down the names and situations of King Chu and King Wu's personnel in Luoyang, and I will arrange for people to investigate. If the investigation is true, in view of your contribution, I will train Zhao Shan Ce. What you call the title of king and the opening of a mansion, forget it for the time being."
"I accept the order!"
Xiao Shuyu answered respectfully.
She sighed inwardly.
Without the title of king and mansion, Zhao Ce's influence would be very weak. All this is because the emperor is too wise, he has already understood everything and has mastered everything.
Under this premise, there is a huge gap in strength between Zhao Shan and Zhao Rui. If Zhao Rui still wants to fight with the emperor, he will definitely die without a burial place. That is to say, Zhao Shan has always paid attention to the stability of the foundation and the lives of the people, and has been digesting everything about himself.
Otherwise, Zhao Shan would have reached Jingzhou long ago.
Zhao Shan did not stay, nor did he leave until Xiao Shuyu finished writing. He said directly: "Take care of yourself. I look forward to the performance of your mother and son!"
After saying that, Zhao Shan turned around and left.
Xiao Shuyu also walked to the gate in person and looked at Zhao Shan's leaving back for a long time, her eyes thoughtful. As a person with good news channels in the palace, she naturally knew about some of the rumors about Zhao Shan after he became emperor.
For example, Zhao Shan slept with the former queen Xu Yu'er and had a daughter. Now Xu Yu'er has moved back to the palace. However, Xiao Shuyu always listened but never spoke, and never interrupted.
It has nothing to do with her anyway.
There are so many emperors who sleep with women.
As long as a powerful emperor works hard politically and cares for the people, no one will care about how many women he sleeps with.
Among the emperors of the previous dynasty, some slept with their own little mothers, some slept with their own daughters-in-law, and some only doted on their wet nurses. Now that Zhao Shan has ascended the throne and slept with an unrelated Xu Yu'er, who can say anything?
Nothing more than a bit of criticism.
Female lust is of the least importance to the emperor.
It's just that Zhao Shan kept stuffing people into the harem one after another, obviously he was so beautiful. The women Zhao Shan stuffed into his harem were all stunning beauties. I heard that Zhao Shan is willing to criticize and take care of any beautiful woman in private.
Why is it that Zhao Shan doesn't even look at her? Is he old and yellow?
Is it really that old age is losing color?
Xiao Shuyu narrowed her eyes slightly, leaning on the edge of the palace door, and gently lifted her hair from her temples. There was a hint of charm in the coldness, and she seemed to be charming.
"Mother concubine!"
Zhao Ce walked up behind Xiao Shuyu, saluted, and asked, "What are you looking at, concubine?"
Xiao Shuyu came back to her senses instantly, put away her chaotic thoughts, and said with a smile: "Cer, my concubine just sent His Majesty away. Have you finished your homework today?"
"finished!"
Zhao Ce answered respectfully.
Xiao Shuyu said: "Your Majesty came to the palace and said that he wanted to promote the clan. This is your opportunity. Our Majesty is a talented and strategic emperor. Once your Majesty uses you to train you, you must be diligent and not miss the opportunity."
"Personal ability is important, but opportunity is even more important. With opportunities, even pigs can fly. If there are no opportunities, people with ability can only be ignorant. Do you understand?"
Zhao Ce seemed to understand, nodded and said: "Don't worry, mother and concubine, my son knows."
Mother and son returned to the palace holding hands.
Zhao Shan left Xiao Shuyu's palace, returned to the palace, summoned Zhang Xu, and said: "Zhang Xu, Xiao Shuyu will write a list of Zhao Rui and Zhao Gou's contact persons in Luoyang. These are the people Zhao Rui and Zhao Gou have won over. "
"Go and contact her personally. Once you get Xiao Shuyu's list, arrange for people from the East Factory to investigate quickly."
"When the people from Dongchang bring Qin Yueyao's brother and mother back to Luoyang, we will take direct action and kill everyone in one go."
"When the time comes, Su Yunxi will also be 'arrested', and we will tell the public that we have arrested her and charge her with evil intentions. With this result, the Su family will not be suspected, and Zhao Rui will not doubt Yunxi."
"As for the breakthrough, Xiao Shuyu betrayed Zhao Ce, Qin Yueyao also cooperated with Xiao Shuyu, and the two of them revealed all the information to me."
Zhao Shan gave detailed strategies.
In fact, these are not big things. Here in Luoyang, Zhao Shan has an absolute advantage.
"Slave takes orders!"
Zhang Xu answered immediately.
He was quite excited because this incident was an opportunity to prove Dongchang's ability.
Zhao Shan arranged everything, went out of the palace in person and quietly went to Su Yunxi's residence, told the next plan, and used Xiao Shuyu's list to close the net and catch him.
Su Yunxi was very excited when she heard that she was going to be 'arrested'. After Su Yunxi was overjoyed, she said seriously: "Your Majesty pretended to capture me, and I was naturally happy and wanted to stay. But can I pretend to escape and return to Xiangyang to support Your Majesty?"
"no need."
Zhao Shan shook his head and said: "Su Wei and the others are in Xiangyang, which is enough to support me. The last time you came to Luoyang to drive up food prices failed, this time you brought 500,000 taels of silver to operate, and you were able to escape again, but it was superfluous. It is easy to expose your whereabouts. Now it is best to take advantage of the opportunity of being arrested to stay in the palace. If you want to continue doing business, I will not object."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Su Yunxi felt happy.
Su Yunxi is extremely happy to be able to do business because she has something to do.
Zhao Shan stayed at Su Yunxi's residence all afternoon and returned to the palace after dinner.
After Zhang Xu and Xiao Shuyu met, they quietly investigated Zhao Rui and Zhao Gou's covert disguises. Although Luoyang was calm, they were already taking action.
In the blink of an eye, spring begins in February, and the weather is getting warmer.
On this day, Zhang Xu came to Zhao Shan and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress Hui's family has arrived in Luoyang and is temporarily settled in Luoyang City."
"good!"
Zhao Shan was excited and praised.
Finally home.
With Qin Yueyao's family members here, Zhao Shan no longer had any worries and asked, "Have you investigated the list provided by Xiao Shuyu?"
"It's been checked!"
Zhang Xu nodded hurriedly and replied: "The twelve officials involved in the case are all related to Zhao Rui and Zhao Gou. These people are not affiliated with each other and do not know each other's identities, so they can always live in peace."
Zhao Shan ordered: "Start immediately and catch everyone, including Du Wei."
"Slave takes orders!"
Zhang Xu hurriedly left to make arrangements.
After Zhang Xu left, Zhao Shan went to see Qin Yueyao again and said directly: "Yueyao, I will bring your brother and mother to Luoyang."
Qin Yueyao became excited and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you very much, Your Majesty."
Zhao Shan said: "Let's go, I will go and take a look with you personally."
Qin Yueyao also nodded hurriedly, quickly changed into a more luxurious robe, and then followed Zhao Shan out of the palace. Under the guidance of the eunuch of Dongchang, he went straight to the residence where Qin Wuji was housed.
