Under Ling Tianyin's strong urging, the matter was quickly found out.

As soon as the Zhong family's huge corruption account was announced, the whole country of Xili was shocked!

According to an incomplete confession, there were more than 80 houses in the capital and other counties that were only worth the money that was greedy for ink.

Not to mention the three-sided bookshelf-high mountain of gold bars in the cellar.

And for so many years, Lord Zhong has received more than 10,000,000 bribes.

With his own strength, he put most of the money inside and outside the court into his own pocket.

Not only that, but also through thorough investigation of corruption cases, which has been implicated for so many years, Lord Zhong secretly attacked those officials with different political views, besieging, slandering and even exterminating them.

When Ling Tianyin was in court, he angrily told the Zhong family's evil deeds in strips, and even said: "Half of the country in Xili, to be surnamed Zhong, is ridiculous!"

Several powerful officials of the Zhong family stood up to plead for mercy, but Ling Tianyin waved his hand and classified them as fellow party members.

Shoot directly.

Zhong Da was punished for all crimes, and his daughter Zhong killed the prince after the murder. All the charges became a firm fact.

Ling Tianyin was afraid that there would be leftovers, so all relevant people headed by Lord Zhong asked to be executed.

The emperor's heart technique, once ruthless, will not show mercy at all.

I heard that Zhong Xuyue, the young lady of the Zhong family, begged the emperor to spare her life.

She is willing to be sold to the court.

But Ling Tianyin only sneered when he found out: "I thought she was young and could save her life, but thinking about the mistakes she made, and what I said today, I think she'd better die, at least clean up. net."

The autumn rain in Xili Kingdom kept swaying, just like the tree-like Zhong family, after this violent storm, it finally disappeared.

Ling Tianyin uprooted the Zhong family, and the imperial court feared the emperor's power.

This time, the emperor is really moving.

Immediately afterwards, after the fall of the Zhong family, Ling Tianyin issued another imperial decree.

He promoted Concubine Lu, whom he had loved for many years, to be the queen.

As soon as this intention came out, Chao Ye was shocked.

Concubine Lu did not have a prominent family background to rely on. It was rumored that she was a demon concubine before. Everyone was puzzled. Why did the emperor raise Concubine Lu as the new queen at this juncture?

But soon, everyone knew that it turned out that the Crown Prince Lingzhou took the initiative to ask for Concubine Lu to be his adoptive mother.

Lingzhou has a noble bloodline and is the real eldest son of the emperor.

Everyone heard that the crown prince had contributed a lot to overthrowing Queen Zhong.

However, how could someone help outsiders to overthrow their own mother?

However, the origin of this is unknown.

It's just that Concubine Lu has the crown prince, the eldest son of the emperor, and his worth is suddenly incomparable.

Ling Tianyin seemed to be satisfied too, after thinking for a long time, he agreed.

Concubine Lu knew that Lingzhou had no mother to love him since he was a child, and she sympathized with him in every possible way, treating him like her own son.

Hearing that the news spread to the cold palace, Zhong Cai went crazy overnight.

When meeting everyone, he said, "Concubine Lu used a magic trick, and there are monsters under her skin!"

But no one cares about the words of an abolition.

And the uncle of the gardener from Zhongfu also stayed in the palace because of Gu Nuoer's relationship, serving a large garden.

After the fall of the Zhong family, Ling Tianyin took the opportunity to bring up all his confidants and ministers to replace important positions.

The power of the court returned to the hands of the emperor.

In the early autumn when things really settled down, Gu Nuoer and the others were also preparing to leave the country of Xili.
