"Your Highness..." Li Feng looked at Yu Jingdu with a guilty conscience, this time he didn't dare to speak at all.

Yu Jingdu closed his eyes tiredly, only to feel that his heart was a little uncomfortable.

He hardly dared to think, what exactly was Rong Zhuo thinking when he made this decision?

If the other party doesn't care about him, it is impossible to take such a big risk for him, but the price is too great for him.

He would rather fight for his life with the prince than exchange such a price for this result.

the other side.

When Rong Zhuo followed Jiang Jiyan out of the imperial study, his body was soaked in cold sweat.

"Did he believe it?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"I don't know." Jiang Jiyan said, "but he will soon believe it. Once the private army is under control, he will know that this matter cannot be related to His Royal Highness King Yan. Who would spend so much money to raise a few. Ten thousand soldiers and horses, and finally hand them over to him?"

"Then will he doubt the prince?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"What do you think?"

"Yes." Rong Zhuo said.

Jiang Jiyan glanced at him and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to let you..."

"It's okay, isn't it just jail time? I'm just going to be my father's company." Rong Zhuo said, "Tomorrow you have to ask my father for questioning, right? I have to collude with my father in advance."

"Don't worry, I will try to get you out as soon as possible." Jiang Jiyan said.

"Don't tell Qing... His Royal Highness King Yan."

"Why?" Jiang Jiyan asked him.

Rong Zhuo was silent for a long time, then said unintentionally, "He just woke up..."

Jiang Jiyan was stunned when he heard the words, and realized that Young Master Rong was worried about His Highness's body, for fear that the other party would be too excited and affect his recovery.

He couldn't help but raised his eyebrows sourly, somewhat understanding why His Royal Highness King Yan, who had always been cold, only treated Rong Zhuo differently.

Not to mention His Royal Highness the King of Yan, his heart as a bystander is melting.

"Jiang Shaoqing..." Rong Zhuo couldn't help but ask, "Are there any mice in your prison?"

"Uh..." Jiang Jiyan hesitated for a moment, and saw Rong Zhuo immediately frown, with a look of hopelessness on his face.

"Where's the cockroach?" Rong Zhuo asked again.

"This..." Jiang Jiyan hesitated, his expression already explained everything.

Just now, Rong Zhuo, who still looked at death as if at home, has lost his fighting spirit at this moment, and still has a look of grievance.

Jiang Jiyan's heart sank involuntarily, secretly thinking that His Royal Highness Yan Wang is miserable this time... The old and new feuds are too numerous to count, so what will give back to Young Master Rong?

The author has something to say:

His Royal Highness Yan Wang: can only promise each other

Chapter 53

After Rong Zhuo and Jiang Jiyan left the imperial study, the emperor's expression turned cold.

Laifu lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound, knowing that the emperor was really angry.

Although this matter has not yet been verified, it is of great importance. No matter how bold the father and son of the Rong family are, they would not dare to fool the emperor with such a thing, right?

To gather private soldiers, and there are still tens of thousands of private soldiers, this matter touches the bottom line of the emperor.

"Call Xue Cheng." The emperor said.

When Laifu heard the words, he hurriedly followed the words and called someone.

This Xue Cheng was the commander of the Imperial Army and one of the emperor's most trusted confidants.

After all, the Imperial Army is responsible for the security of the palace, and the emperor's life and wealth are in the hands of the other party.

After a while, Xue Cheng came.

This person looks about thirty-five or six years old, looks calm and capable, and is very reliable.

"Your Majesty." Xue Cheng bowed to the emperor after entering.

"Have you seen the file of the corruption case of money and grain for disaster relief in Yuzhou?" the emperor asked him.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I have seen it."

"Is there anything you want to say?" the emperor asked.

Xue Cheng was stunned, his expression a little blank, as if he didn't understand the emperor's intention.

"The result of the imperial envoy sent to Yuzhou was not very clear. Later, someone submitted more evidence before they were sent in." The emperor handed him the dossier, "There seems to be no problem with this matter on the surface. , but don't you find it strange?"

Xue Cheng glanced at the name on the file, "Your Majesty suspects that the person who submitted the evidence was ordered by someone?"

"It's not important. Some people are willing to do things they couldn't do for the imperial envoy, and I'm happy to see them succeed." The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "I think it's strange that these few people risked their lives to use that disaster relief. money?"

"People die for wealth and birds die for food." Xue Cheng said.

"There is a premise for people to die for wealth, that is, he is very short of money, or he wants the money to be of great use." The emperor looked at Xue Cheng, "These few people, I don't think they look like people who are short of money."

"Does Your Majesty want the ministers to check them again?" Xue Cheng asked.

"Everyone has been dealt with, there is nothing to investigate." The emperor sneered, with a bit of disappointment in his eyes, but this disappointment was not for Xue Cheng, but for the person who appeared in his mind.

After the incident in Yuzhou, the emperor was aware of the problem.

But he didn't go into it, because he felt that the result of this matter was a very severe warning to the person behind it.

No one is perfect, and he still knows to a certain extent what his own son looks like, so he will choose to turn a blind eye on many things. As long as the other party knows how to repent and repent, he will not be stingy to give a few more chances, just don't touch his bottom line.

But the matter of privately recruiting troops is obviously beyond the bounds.

Not only the army, but also tens of thousands of people, the emperor felt a chill down his spine just thinking about it.

"Take the disaster relief money to support the private army, it's really worth it." The emperor said and picked up another file, "I asked someone to find the file of the case of reselling tribute. You can also look at it. Look."

When Xue Cheng heard the word "suppressing private soldiers", he knew that this time he had encountered a major event.

He didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly took over the file and read it carefully.
