The great eunuch Wang Zheng stepped forward slowly and said softly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness Yunhe has not eaten a grain of rice from yesterday morning to now. Do you think you should let Prince Ren go to Yong'an Palace?"

Emperor Zhaowu snorted coldly: "If you don't eat, it means you are not hungry. Whenever you are hungry, you will naturally eat."

He withdrew his gaze, walked to the dragon chair, sat down, and looked at Wang Zheng: "Send someone to tell her what she did in the hunting ground. She knows it in her heart. I didn't issue an order to reprimand her. I just wanted to give her face. She won't mess around and make trouble unreasonably." , let alone a month, even a year later, she will not leave the womb."

"this……"

Wang Zheng hesitated and said: "You know His Highness Yunhe's temperament, will it hurt her too much to say this?"

"It hurts."

Emperor Zhaowu didn't know what he thought of, and his tone became colder: "I was too arrogant to them in the past, and that's why I let them develop such a temper!"

Wang Zheng had watched Emperor Zhaowu grow up since he was a child, and Wang Zheng knew very well what he was thinking.

But when the prince and princess were involved, it was inconvenient to speak after all. After hesitating for a while, he nodded: "I obey the order."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, the emperor stopped him again.

Wang Zheng stopped and turned to look at Emperor Zhaowu.

Emperor Zhaowu thought for a few seconds and said slowly: "Tell Yunhe that if she stays in peace, I will allow her to move out of Yong'an Palace in one month."

Among the many princes and princesses, only Yun He has a simple personality and regards him as his father instead of his father.

He didn't want to ruin this last family relationship because of some insignificant things.

"My slave obeys the order."

The king smiled, saluted, and turned to leave.

After he left.

Emperor Zhaowu was the only one left in the huge study.

Empty and alone.

Having been on the throne for more than 20 years, Emperor Zhaowu was already used to this. His face was expressionless, and he reached out to pick up a memorial and browsed it.

After a while.

A clear voice sounded outside the door.

"The Prince of Zhenbei, Ren Shengsheng, wishes to see His Majesty!"

"allow."

The curtain opens.

Ren Pingsheng walked into the study, saluted solemnly, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

Emperor Zhaowu didn't even raise his head, and said in a calm tone: "Say."

Ren Pingsheng did not hesitate and said bluntly: "I have learned roughly where Mu Ying's corrupt money is hidden, but I don't know the specific location yet."

"Then wait until you find out and then report it to me."

"..."

My father-in-law doesn't play by the rules.

Normally, shouldn't we ask about the approximate location?

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty to borrow someone."

Emperor Zhaowu looked up at him and asked, "Who?"

"Master Xu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Ren Pingsheng said with a serious face: "I only need to ask Mr. Xu a few words, and I can know the specific location where the silver is hidden."

The voice fell.

Emperor Zhaowu understood his intention instantly and said nothing.

"If you ask a few questions and you can get five million taels of silver, why should you hesitate?"

Ren Pingsheng had no idea what his father-in-law was thinking.

Could it be that he knew that the money was actually embezzled by his third son and didn't want to make the matter bigger?

really.

According to Xiao Rongxue, Mr. Xu from the Metropolitan Procuratorate hated evil and had repeatedly confronted his father-in-law without giving in.

If he were asked to investigate the case, the prince would definitely be guilty of breaking the law and the common people. If the prince of Jin was directly thrown into prison, the emperor's plea would be useless. Wouldn't it be embarrassing?

But... isn't this exactly what I want?

After thinking this, Ren Pingsheng spoke again: "It involves five million taels of silver. I sincerely request your majesty to agree."

Emperor Zhaowu raised his eyes and looked at him: "What if I can't get the result?"

Then I can’t ask the result, so what else can I do?

You can't just kill me just because I don't handle the case well. I'm not your royal guard.

Speaking of which, I do seem to have a flying fish suit.

Ren Pingsheng suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and said seriously: "I am not completely sure, but I just asked Mr. Xu to ask a few questions, and if he succeeds, he will be able to recover five million taels of silver. There will be no loss to the court if we fail. I think

, worth a try.”

"It is related to the majesty of the imperial court. Everyone knows that the words of a third-grade Confucian scholar follow the law. If others encounter the problem, they will come to borrow someone from me like you. Should I lend it or not?"

Emperor Zhaowu spoke calmly.

Ren Pingsheng said: "I am different from them."

"What's the difference?"

"I am your Majesty's son-in-law."

Ren Pingsheng took full advantage of his thick skin and became relatives with the emperor from time to time.

"..."

Emperor Zhaowu was speechless for a moment.

Ren Pingsheng added: "Besides that, the most important thing is that I handle the case not only for the little Heavenly Master, but also for Your Majesty. The majesty of the court is naturally important, but the five million taels of silver are equally important.

I am willing to bear the infamy of disregarding the dignity of the imperial court, share your worries and recover this money for Your Majesty."

The voice fell.

The study fell into silence.

After a while.

Emperor Zhaowu spoke slowly: "It's not convenient for me to speak about this matter. You go and find him yourself. If he is willing, then he is willing. If he is not willing, I can't do anything."

Doesn’t that mean you said nothing?

A dignified third-grade scholar and a second-grade official, both in terms of cultivation and official status, they can keep up with my father.

Why do you come to help me for no reason?

Is it because the five million taels of silver were stolen from the people by corrupt officials?

It seems...it's not impossible.

Not to mention that as the censor of Zuodu, it is his duty to supervise all officials. With his strong and upright temperament of hating evil as much as hatred, he should not refuse after hearing about this, right?

After thinking about this, Ren Shengsheng no longer struggled, and saluted: "I understand, I will leave."

After saying that, he stopped staying and turned around to leave.

Emperor Zhaowu stood there, watching his back disappear from sight, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.

…………

After coming out of the palace.

Ren Pingsheng ran straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When he arrived at the yamen gate, he saw two officers standing there, with their backs straight and motionless.

"If nothing else, in terms of the appearance of the guards guarding the gate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is indeed far superior to other yamen.

This is also a good thing, after all, the more upright the Zuodu censor is, the greater the possibility of things happening."

He thought so and stepped forward.

"The important place of Yamen, no one can stop here!"

The two officers stretched out their hands to stop Ren Pingsheng, with serious expressions and solemn tones.

Ren Pingsheng took a step back and said seriously: "Ren Pingsheng, the Crown Prince of Zhenbei, would like to see Mr. Xu, the censor of Zuodu."

Prince Zhenbei?

The officer looked him up and down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Rong is a humble official."
