I said, "Mimei went out of the palace to ask for advice. In fact, she only asked one plan, but this plan was very effective. I think there are many problems that can be solved by using this method."

He asked, "What's the solution?"

"Tracking the origin."

"Tracking the origin?" Pei Yuanhao frowned slightly between his eyebrows: "What does it mean?"

"The meaning is very simple. What kind of reasons can lead to what kind of results; on the contrary, if you get such results, it must be because of such reasons before."

“That’s natural.”

"Then your majesty can see, who got the greatest benefit this time the censor was assassinated?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, and his deep expression became more and more gloomy under the candlelight.

I said, "Of course, the benefits are not your Majesty. No matter which official in Shaanxi is killed or injured, it is not a good thing for Your Majesty; even if the previous governor failed to implement the new policy and cheated on it, if he died, it would eventually damage the face of the court."

Pei Yuanhao frowned: "What did you say?"

I looked at him: "The emperor doesn't know why that adult is not implementing the new policy effectively?"

He looked cold and said, "The note below has not been handed over yet."

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - many things in the court are like this. As the emperor, he was too arrogant and saw national affairs every day, but some minorities, even the actions of a state and a government, could not be completely in his eyes. Even if he wanted to see, he could only see what the officials below gave him to him.

The resistance to the new policy actually comes from these.

So, I slowly talked about what Jabixing told me about what he had seen in Shaanxi, how the governor colluded with powerful gentry, and how he was wearing the sheep's heads from the new policy and selling dog meat that bullied the people.

Pei Yuanhao's face became more and more gloomy. At the end of hearing, I almost saw his face turn ashen.

The tea bowl was pinched in his hand and kept shaking. The tea in the bowl rippled out and poured onto his hand.

Finally finished speaking, I almost thought he would be furious, but Pei Yuanhao gave out a long breath and slowly put the tea bowl back on the table, just looking at his fingers, almost spasm-free.

He said: "This is the case with the new policy in Shaanxi at present?"

"Yes, more people have lost their land and household registration."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous light appeared at the corners of his eyes: "It seems that I am still too soft."

My heart moved: "Your Majesty is not thinking - those powerful and powerful gentry?"

He glanced at me but didn't answer this.

I dare not say anything else.

I shouldn't mention this matter, let alone tell me. Although he was not too suspicious of me, I should have paid attention to my identity as Miss Yan's family in Xichuan and immediately shut up.

The two of them became quiet for a moment.

On the small table, the candle fire flapped for no reason, making his eyes flicker. At this moment, there was another light knock on the door outside. Yu Gong responded openly, and then turned to the door of the inner room: "Your Majesty."

Pei Yuanhao looked up at him.

"On the Yuhua Palace, the Imperial Concubine is still..."

"Let her wait a little longer."

"yes."

Eunuch Yu hurriedly turned around and went out, walked to the door and whispered, and the man outside the door hurriedly left again.

Pei Yuanhao then raised his head and looked at me. His eyes seemed to be stained with the temperature of the candlelight, which was a little burning: "Continue what you just said - who did you benefit from this matter in the end?"

I was a little hesitant for a moment.

Nangong Lizhu is still waiting for him in Yuhua Palace, but what I say now is-

Looking at my eyebrows, it seemed that I was frowning slightly, and he seemed to feel something, and a little coldness added to his tone: "No matter what, you must make these words clear today. As for whether to listen or not, how to listen is my own business."

I thought for a while, gritted my teeth and said, "As far as things go, the death of the Shaanxi Provincial Administration Commission was indeed at the hands of the people, but if it were a mob - I'm afraid that Your Majesty will consider it again. After all, not every ordinary person can find a way out under such an official."

He didn't say anything, only his eyes were heavy.

"However," I continued, "the death of the Censor has nothing to do with the people. The Emperor also said before that when the Censor went to Shaanxi, he was traveling lightly and did not tell anyone his identity. He would be stabbed in this way. It can only be said that someone knew his identity in advance and killed him was not because of the people's sentiment in Shaanxi."

Pei Yuanhao looked at me with a slight squinted eyes.

These two items can obviously be involved in Nishikawa.

I also looked at him: "Xichuan did have such a criminal record, but there is no reason to do so."

“…”

"Your Majesty, doing this will not be beneficial to Xichuan, nor will it be beneficial to the Yan family."

“…”

"Killing a censor who went to Shaanxi for inspection will be of no benefit except causing conflicts between the court and Xichuan or starting a war."

“…”

"My brother, in front of him, he doesn't want to fight."

Pei Yuanhao frowned: "Don't he want to fight?"

"Yes, he told me that time he went back to Chengdu two years ago."

Pei Yuanhao's eyes suddenly lit up.

This was undoubtedly a great good news for him. Even an unexpected result. If the next three points today, he must have been worried that the alliance between Jiangnan and Xichuan would cause him heavy pressure and blows. But now I suddenly told him that Xichuan did not want another dispute, which simply gave him a talisman!

He said, "Be serious?"

"I dare not deceive the king." I lowered my head gently: "This is also the wish of the folk girl."

“…”

For a moment, he couldn't speak and just looked at me. His breathing became heavier and heavier, almost swaying the candle between us. He said softly: "Light..."

I said calmly: "The folk girl said this not to give you credit for your Majesty, but just hope that your Majesty can see the situation clearly."

He looked at me burntly.

"The killing of the officials of the imperial court has no meaning to Xichuan."

“…”

"If this happens, it will definitely not bring any benefits to Nishikawa."

“…”

"The young lady wants to ask Your Majesty that this matter has spread throughout the court. Compared to tomorrow's court, there must be many court officials who have to express their opinions on this matter..."

He said coldly: "Tonight, the notes are already full."

"What would his Majesty think they would have the most opinions?"

"What else can it be."

"So, whose wish has been fulfilled?"

“…”

He didn't say anything, but the candlelight reflected in his eyes was almost burning.

"You want to say--"

"The young woman doesn't want to say much, but she still said just now: There is a cause for everything, and there is a cause. Since such a conclusion has been reached, it is not difficult to find who did this."

"Do you want to say it?" His voice suddenly became hoarse, and he continued the sentence just now: "This is the Nangong family..."

Speaking of this, he stopped himself.

The avatar seemed to be cut off by someone, and it was cut off, and my breathing was suffocated for a moment.

He couldn't hear his breath either.

I looked into his eyes, not retreating, but just calmed down: "If you want to infer from such a result, the genius can only get this reason."

He fell silent.

"After all, it was Lord Nangong who had always wanted to use troops against Xichuan before."

Pei Yuanhao still didn't say anything, but I heard his breathing getting heavier and heavier, as if there was something in his heart that was constantly entangled and tearing, making it difficult for him to decide. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at me and said, "You know that today, the news of Qu Xueyi being stabbed came, and Nangong Jinhong was in my imperial study."

"ah?"

I was a little confused and just looked at him, and he said, "He suddenly got this news, was heartbroken and vomited blood on the spot."

My heart sank: "Ah?!"

I couldn't help but look out. Of course, at this time, I could not see anything. I only saw Eunuch Yu standing outside the door with her hands hanging down, and the candlelight shining on his wrinkled face, looking particularly old.

Pei Yuanhao looked at the swaying candlelight and slowly said, "Nangong Jinhong has only one sister, Nangong Jinya. She married Qu Junliang, the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace in her early years. The couple was in love with each other and a pair of fairy couples envied many people. But later, Qu Junliang did not keep the duty of a court official and deceived the emperor and was sentenced to beheading. Although Nangong Jinya was not implicated, she was already pregnant at that time."

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Then she-"

"After giving birth to a child, he died in love."

“…”
