Liu Qi swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Majesty gave an order today. The queen mismanaged the harem and was imprisoned in Qinfeng Palace. The Phoenix Seal and the Golden Book were taken back and temporarily put in charge of my sister and Mrs. Wu." (Sister means aunt.)
As he spoke, there was a hint of panic on his face, and he added: "And I heard that His Majesty ordered a thorough investigation of the harem and killed many maids and eunuchs."
Qin Heng gently rubbed his tired brows, trying to digest this series of shocking news.
The situation suddenly changed overnight, and he had never expected such drastic changes.
He had a hunch that this matter must have been done by his father.
And that Yu Bazi...
"Which clan does Yu Bazi come from?"
Qin Heng raised his head and asked.
"She is the daughter of Yu Qian, the governor of Fengjun. She has been in the palace for three years now."
"Because of this incident, His Majesty has ordered that the Jiayi tribe be dealt with." Liu Qi shook his head, as if he was regretting something.
"What does grandpa think about this matter?"
"Grandpa said that this is a game between the Prime Minister and His Majesty. He asked me to tell the Eighth Prince not to get too involved in what is happening right now. The next period of time will probably not be peaceful."
"Your Majesty will seize this opportunity and must take action." Liu Qi glanced at him and warned carefully.
Qin Heng nodded: "I understand."
He knew these things in his heart, and now he was considering whether to go to the second prince's place.
Next, Qin Heng asked about the details of these messages.
In the palace, a confrontation was taking place at this time.
Li Yi bowed her head and knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly: "I have no way to teach my daughter. It is an insult to the dignity of the royal family. Please punish me."
"Since the Prime Minister has no way of teaching his daughter, then you know what the Queen has done wrong." Emperor Qin looked at him with deep meaning in his eyes.
Li Yi was stunned and didn't seem to react for a moment.
He didn't expect that Emperor Qin would ask him so directly.
This made him not know how to answer. He couldn't tell all the crimes.
Thinking in his mind, he slowly raised his head and blamed himself: "As the master of the harem, the queen is really not managing properly when so many tragic things happened."
"Your Majesty has taken back the Queen's Phoenix Seal Golden Book, and I agree with it very much."
When Emperor Qin heard this, he sneered in his heart.
What Li Yi meant was that the queen's crimes should be offset by the power in her hands. .
If the emperor breaks the law and the common people are guilty, if something happens to the queen, it will definitely cause chaos in the court.
It even affected the position of the prince.
As the emperor of Great Qin, he cannot let such a thing happen.
Sometimes, you can't swallow a fat person in one bite.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said coldly: "A few days ago, the imperial censor wrote a letter saying that Yu Qian was corrupt and perverted the law, and sealed the county. And his daughter Yu Bazi even killed Xu Meiren and framed the queen."
"I have issued an order to the Yi tribe. Let the prime minister handle this matter."
Qin Huang said calmly with no expression on his face.
He was indeed not wronged about Yu Qian's corruption.
As for the rest, it can only be considered that he is unlucky.
"I obey."
Li Yi felt relieved and quickly accepted the order.
He knew that this matter was over, and all that was left was to find a way to restore his daughter's rights.
This matter needs to be discussed in the long run!
In the main hall, Emperor Qin frowned in deep thought.
Next to him, Zhao Gan lowered his eyebrows and his body was hunched over like a shrimp.
After Li Yi withdrew, Emperor Qin didn't say a word, just sat there quietly.
Feeling the dull atmosphere in the palace, Zhao Gan slowed down his breathing as much as possible.
"The imperial censor is sent to the palace."
"promise."
Zhao Gan was excited and responded quickly.
Time passed, and in less than half an hour, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Emperor Qin looked up and saw a guard in front of the palace walking in.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see the imperial censor Liu Jicheng."
"pass."
"promise."
The guard turned and walked out, and then Liu Ji walked in from outside the palace.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Liu Aiqing, please rise." Emperor Qin raised his hand to indicate.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The murderer of Xu Meiren is Yu Bazi. I have ordered the Yi tribe to kill him."
"As for the murderer of the Eighth Prince, Yongxiang Order is still under investigation."
"The Queen mismanaged the harem. I have ordered the Qin Feng Palace to be placed under house arrest. In addition, the Phoenix Seal Golden Book has been taken back. Madam Liu and Madam Zhao are temporarily in charge of it."
"Does Liu Aiqing still have any objections?" Qin Huang said calmly with calm eyes.
Liu Ji's eyes flashed and he said respectfully: "I have no objection."
"I just hope that the murderer will be found as soon as possible. If he is not punished severely, I am afraid that similar things will happen again in the future."
"I hope your Majesty will order Zongzheng to investigate strictly."
Emperor Qin's face turned cold, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.
If Zong Zheng intervenes, I'm afraid this matter will become complicated.
"No matter who it is, as long as they dare to attack members of the royal family, I will never tolerate it."
"Your Majesty is wise." Liu Ji complimented without changing his expression.
"A few days ago, Liu Aiqing wrote to Tai Pu Huo Yuanji that his vehicle was lost and he was derelict in his duties. I have found out that he will be demoted to Tai Pu Cheng with immediate effect."
"As for the selection of the Grand Servant, I would like to trouble Liu Aiqing to submit a letter of recommendation." Emperor Qin said meaningfully, showing dissatisfaction.
"No." Liu Ji raised his eyebrows and responded happily.
On that day, an imperial edict came from the palace. Huo Yuanji, the imperial servant, had neglected his duty and was demoted to the imperial palace.
Huo Meiren became ill due to overwork and was no longer suitable to take care of the sixth princess, so she ordered Mrs. Liu to temporarily raise her.
The next day, Qin Heng rode in Wang Qinggai's car and headed towards Wuchang Mansion, the residence of the second prince.
He had submitted a greeting card yesterday and came to visit today.
In front of Wuchang Mansion, Qin Heng saw Qin Su standing in front of the door as soon as he arrived.
He raised his hand to signal, and Cao Zheng placed the wheelchair smoothly on the ground.
"I have met the Second Emperor Brother, and I would like to thank you personally for your help."
"Haha, it's the first time that the emperor's brother comes to the door. The emperor's brother should come out to greet you."
"Come on, let's go in."
Qin Su stepped forward and took the wheelchair.
"good."
Qin Heng smiled and nodded.
When you walk into the mansion, the first thing you see is a wide courtyard. There is a rockery in the center. The rockery is surrounded by flowers of various colors, which are very beautiful.
There is a small lake next to the rockery. The water in the lake is crystal clear, and there are various koi carps in it, playing and playing, which is very interesting.
Passing through the courtyard, there is a lobby. Qin Heng and others walked into the lobby. The layout inside is elegant, and the various furnishings are exquisite and gorgeous, reflecting a noble temperament.
Generally speaking, the second emperor's brother's mansion is much more exquisite than his You'an mansion.
"Someone come and serve tea."
"Go and bring the imperial concubine and Xiang'er."
Qin Su turned his head and gave instructions to the maid beside him.
"promise."
"Royal brother, I have already handed your letter to my father, and Mrs. Liu must have seen it."
Qin Su turned around and smiled.
Qin Hengshang clasped his hands in his fists and said sincerely, "I'm sorry for bothering you, brother."
"Hey, it's just a trivial matter, nothing worth mentioning."
"I wonder if the emperor's brother knows about the rumors in Qindu these days?" Qin Su waved his hand and asked casually.
