Emperor An of Zhou was very satisfied when he heard this and laughed: "I am worthy of being my minister. This matter is indeed as you guessed, with many twists and turns in it! Do you know the Zhen family in Jinling?"

Although he wanted to catch all the remnants in one go, he didn't want his most capable minister to misunderstand and ruin the big thing.

Bai Yixiu was stunned, and then replied without hesitation: "In those years when Weichen was a salt inspector in Yangzhou, he was fighting wits and courage with those salt merchants, but in fact he was fighting with the Zhen family. Weichen could say without hesitation that the Zhen family was in Jinling at that time, and that was a local emperor.

Although there is no military power, the nearby military officers all obeyed the orders of increasing! Most of the income related to salt tax and salt fell into the hands of the Zhen family. How could Wei Chen forget such a tough opponent? If His Majesty had not taken care of Wei Chen, Wei Chen would not have left Yangzhou and Jiangnan alive!"

Emperor An of Zhou nodded. The things Lin Aiqing said were consistent with his investigation. The Zhen family was rich enough to rival the country, and it was true.

The wet nurse of the Supreme Emperor was Mrs. Zhen at that time, so she took good care of the Zhen family. Even Mrs. Zhen's daughter entered the palace to become Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen looked beautiful and favored in the palace, so she gave birth to a prince.

For a moment, the popularity of the Zhen family became more and more prosperous. In fact, if they knew their duty, they would not have any subsequent consequences. But those people did not think so, and they always wanted to get more.

The reason why the Supreme Emperor has been reluctant to take action against the Zhen family in Jinling is because of Concubine Zhen and the Seventh Prince.

If the Zhen family had not supported Concubine Zhen and Concubine Zhen's son, the Seventh Prince, later, in rebellion, the Supreme Emperor might not have punished the Zhen family.

In that mutiny, the prince and the seventh prince were both dead.

The Supreme Emperor suddenly lost two sons who were highly valued and loved, and they were in poor health, unable to recover, and could not afford to rest as much as possible.

Seeing the turmoil of the court and the unstable country, the Supreme Emperor saw that the third son was a capable one and directly made him the crown prince, then abdicated a few days later, and then allowed the third prince to succeed him.

Emperor An of Zhou ascended the throne under such a complicated and strange situation.

At first, he was indeed restrained when he ascended the throne, but he was very tolerant and his hands were broken. He gradually gathered power and sat firmly on the throne step by step.

The Supreme Emperor originally thought he was about to die, so he voluntarily gave up his throne to maintain the stability of the court and pass on the country.

But he never expected that after recuperation, his health would recover.

Can walk and jump, and gradually get healthy.

He has been an emperor for a lifetime and has great power. Now he has become the emperor who has lost power. The emperor feels uncomfortable and then he starts to interfere in the affairs of the court.

Even under the internal and external obstacles of the Supreme Emperor, it is obvious that the emperor can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

It is the prime of a person's talent and strategy. How could he do such a foolish thing?

Emperor An of Zhou smiled, "It's very simple. Concubine Zhen found Jia Yuanchun in the cold palace, and then proposed to help Jia Yuanchun take office, so as to achieve the goal of Concubine Zhen."

Bai Yixiu was shocked when he heard this and was slightly stunned, "Your Majesty, does Concubine Zhen still have connections and eyeliners in the palace?"

Emperor An of Zhou nodded, "Yes, otherwise it would be impossible to contact Jia Yuanchun in the Queen's Palace."

Bai Yixiu frowned slightly, "How can I be sure that Concubine Zhen contacted Jia Yuanchun? Maybe Jia Yuanchun took the initiative to come up with him?"
