Chapter 514 515: Played a big game

Han Jinyi nodded, "Yes, my mother doesn't know what my father has been busy with in the past few months. She only knows that he is much busier than before. Who knew..."

Who would have thought that I would play a big game as soon as I came here!

Song Yunzhao guessed that what happened last time had completely angered Feng Yi, but with a war ahead, Feng Yi had no time or opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation, so he could only appease people's hearts before making plans.

 When the war is over, others will only focus on His Majesty's triumphal return, and few will care about the original military rations.

Song Yunzhao looked at Han Jinyi, "Master Han is doing things for His Majesty, for the people and soldiers at the border. The Emperor will definitely protect Master Han."

Han Jinyi felt slightly at ease after hearing what the imperial concubine said. The imperial concubine never told lies. Since she was sure of what she said, her tense body softened slightly and she sobbed: "I was really scared to death. My father this time It’s really shocking.”

Song Yunzhao agreed with this very much, but thinking that this was Feng Yi's instruction, she was not so anxious.

After a few words of advice to Han Jinyi, her mood improved a lot and she calmed down. Then she stood up and left.

The emperor in the court was furious. The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of War were all reprimanded. Song Nanzhen was also swept to the end of the typhoon.

Speaking of which, he had some grievances. This matter had never happened to him since he took over as Minister of Household Affairs. It should have been done by the former Minister. Perhaps it was because his daughter was a noble concubine. After he took over, those people were afraid of being exposed. I haven't even contacted the Ministry of Finance.

 But the Ministry of Households is in charge of money and food and cannot escape its responsibilities.

The censor handed over one after another information about the matter. Feng Yi became even more angry after reading the information. He rebuked several courtiers one after another, and even the two prime ministers were embarrassed.

Since Feng Yi ascended the throne, he has governed the country with benevolence. Faced with the important ministers left over from the previous emperor's dynasty, he still reused them. What's the result?

Looking at the documents presented by Han Zhengchun, looking at the shocking statements one by one, and looking at the clear evidence, Feng Yi couldn't suppress his thunderous anger.

In the past few days, the number of memorials rejected by the DPRK hit a new high, and the civil and military officials in the DPRK were frightened and their scalps were numb.

 This is the first time the emperor has been so angry since he came to the throne.

Even though the implementation of the New Deal failed many times last year, the emperor never made such a big fuss.

After the morning court, the ministers walked out in twos and threes, all with solemn expressions. Han Zhengchun had already disappeared. Song Nanzhen was tripped. The courtiers gathered around him, trying to get some information from him.

Song Nanzhen could not move even an inch, and kept saying that he did not know anything about it, but everyone did not let him go. It was Meng Jiuchang who arrived and fished him out.

Song Nanzhen thanked Meng Jiuchang with lingering fears. These courtiers seemed to be really panicked. Could it be that they were all related to the military rations case?

Feng Yi was furious, and people from all over the court were invited by the Three Law Departments to assist in the investigation. His relatives and nobles did not dare to act rashly at this time. If there were people in the palace, they sent messages to the palace to ask questions.

However, Yun Zhao immediately asked Concubine Shu to take care of the entrance to the harem after Han Jinyi came to the door. Recently, no matter which family submitted a message to the palace, they had to reject it.

 Song Yunzhao led by example and the Song family was no exception.

However, the Song family did not send the post to the palace. Even the wife of the Right Prime Minister sent it once. Concubine Shu struggled for a while and gritted her teeth and refused.

The concubine is usually very talkative, but once she makes a decision, she doesn't want to try whether it's an egg or a rock.

But this time, the storm suddenly happened. No one expected that the emperor had been keeping an eye on the military rations case, and actually ordered Han Zhengchun to investigate secretly, which caught them off guard. Many people who didn't even have their tails confiscated were busy begging grandpa to sue grandma. Trying to get out of this vortex.

 The former court was shaken, and some people in the harem were also panicked. It was rare for Song Yunzhao to behave like a noble concubine. When he knew that someone was deliberately gossiping and trying to stir up people's hearts, he immediately sent Zhang Maoquan away, reprimanded the leader and imprisoned the latter.

Yun Zhao will not punish Yun Zhao too severely if he is just gossiping, but it is not advisable to incite people's hearts. Once signs appear, they must be stopped in time.

"Have you found out? Where did this gossip first spread?" Song Yunzhao looked at Zhang Maoquan and asked.

Zhang Maoquan bent down and replied, "The matter first came from Zhao Liangren of Yujin Palace in Qingyan Palace. However, Zhao Liangren also heard about it when the palace servants around him went to the Huanyi Bureau to pick up clothes, and then he went back and said A few words."

“Can the Huanyi Bureau check it?” Song Yunzhao asked.

Places like the Clothing Bureau are the most chaotic. The palace servants here have a low status and can be regarded as servants in the palace. All the clothes in the palace have to be sent here for cleaning, so the workload is huge, so the palace servants here have a very low status. Also the most.

Because of the large number of people, people from all the palaces and palaces in the harem have to come to get clothes, and they are constantly coming and going, so it is also a good place to spread news.

 It is quite difficult to find out the source from such a place.

Zhang Maoquan shook his head, "My slaves were useless and couldn't find out who it was, but they caught a few of the ones who spread the word the most. After interrogation, they only admitted that they heard it from others, but they couldn't tell from whom. That’s what I heard.”

Song Yunzhao thought quietly, looked at Zhang Maoquan for a while and asked: "Did you say before that the person living in Yujin Hall is Zhao Liangren, with the surname Zhao?"

Zhang Maoquan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Zhao Liangren is the daughter of Zhao Mingzheng, the editor of the Hanlin Academy. She was a beautiful lady who entered the palace with Concubine Shu and others. However, she offended Concubine Shu not long after entering the palace. From then on There was silence in the palace."

"Go and check, do you have any contact between Zhao Liangren and Zhao Meiren recently?" Song Yunzhao looked at Zhang Maoquan and said, "Go and check again, whether editor Zhao is related to the Zhao family in Jiangnan, and whether they are the same clan."

"Yes, I'll go check it out right now." Zhang Maoquan hurriedly bent down and retreated. Seeing that the imperial concubine looked bad, he couldn't help but be a little suspicious. What does it matter if Zhao Liangren and Zhao Meiren are of the same clan?

However, he didn't dare to ask if the queen didn't tell her. He could only find out the matter as soon as possible before talking.

Song Yunzhao has been wondering whether there is any relationship between Zhao Liangren and Zhao Ling'e. A large family has many branches. Zhao Ling'e is a direct branch of the Zhao family. Zhao Liangren's branch has nothing to do with the Jiangnan Zhao family, maybe it is related.

However, the news first came from Zhao Liangren, which made Yun Zhao have to wonder whether Zhao Ling'e had said something to her.

 Otherwise she had never seen Zhao Liangren jumping out and jumping around in all the years she had been in the palace, so why did she suddenly appear in her sight now?

 Those who failed in the fight with Concubine Shu had already accepted their fate.

Now that he is active again, she doesn't believe that there is nothing to do with it.

Reminded of Zhao Ling'e's previous love of making friends, now that I think about it, this is a different approach.

Knowing that she could not easily see the emperor and use her charm, she started from other places and managed her reputation first.

 After all, Yun Zhao's biggest shortcoming is that he has a reputation as a domineering pet.

  In contrast, high and low are distinguished.

I will update one chapter in the early morning, and there will be another chapter that I will update probably in the morning. It may not be too early, my cuties, so you can check it out at noon.
