1157. Chapter 1157 This Won’t Work

Murong Zhan patiently negotiated with Zhao Yong, and did not leave the hunting ground and return to the palace until nightfall.

"This slave has seen the emperor." Eunuch Chang saw him outside Qianqing Palace and immediately knelt down to salute.

"Where is the young prince?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.

Eunuch Chang said, "The young prince has just had dinner and is waiting for the emperor in the main hall."

Murong Zhan strode into the main hall. There was no figure of Murong Yi in the hall. He frowned slightly and walked to the back hall. Sure enough, he saw Murong Yi sleeping soundly on the soft couch in the back hall.

Seeing the dark shadow under Merongyi's eyes, Merongzhan knew that the child must not have slept well for several days, "Give the little prince a quilt."

Eunuch Fu responded softly and took a soft quilt to cover Mo Rongyi.

Murong Zhan walked out of the back hall and asked Eunuch Chang in a low voice, "How is the little prince's injury?"

"Back to the emperor, the young prince was scratched on the shoulder by a sword. Judge Gong came to see it. There was no injury to the muscles or bones, and the sword wound was not poisonous. It only needs to be cured in two or three days." Eunuch Chang replied softly. road.

"Where are the people who escorted the young prince back?" Mo Rongzhan asked.

"Back to the emperor, they are still outside the palace, can they be summoned into the palace?" Eunuch Chang asked.

Murong Zhan looked at the sky and said, "Let them all go back and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

When Merong Yi went to South Vietnam, he arranged for four secret guards to protect him. There were many risks along the way. Only four secret guards would definitely not be able to protect Merong Yi. There should be people from Qian Luosha protecting Mo Rongyi on the way. Rong Yi's, otherwise the child would have suffered more than a slight injury.

Hehe, he was so blatant in assassinating a prince and even dared to do it near Kyoto. It seemed that the problem in South Vietnam was more serious than he imagined.

"Brother Emperor." Murong Yi came out of the back hall sleepily. When he saw Murong Zhan leaning on the couch and meditating, he breathed a sigh of relief, "You are finally back."

Seeing that he still looked like he hadn't slept enough, Mo Rongzhan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Why don't you sleep more?"

"After some sleep, I feel much better." Merongyi said, sitting down under Murongzhan, "Brother, I sent back 50 million taels."

"With so many dangers on the road, no one wants to steal the money?" Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that Ayi was assassinated because of the money. It seems that those people were not here for the money.

Merongyi said depressedly, "Why not? From the beginning, he pretended to be a pirate and wanted to steal the money. He didn't even say a word. His moves were fatal. If our people weren't also good at water, I wouldn't even be able to cross the river. Later, even the robbers didn't bother to pretend, and they just drew their swords at me every time. Fortunately, I am lucky."

"That's because the person who protects you is skilled in martial arts!" Mo Rongzhan glared at him, "What happened to South Vietnam?"

"Big deal!" Merongyi shouted, "Brother, I'll take a drink of water first and then tell you slowly."

This kid! Murong Zhan was angry and helpless, and signaled Eunuch Fu to pour a pot of tea for Murong Yi.

Merongyi drank half a pot of tea before he felt his mind clearing up. He started talking about it when he and Murong Ke arrived in South Vietnam, and told Murong Zhan everything about South Vietnam's anomalies, including Murong Ke's suspicions.

"...Brother Imperial, Sixth Brother said that those wealthy families in South Vietnam are the gangrene of Jin country and cannot be cured until they are cured." After finishing speaking, Merongyi's mouth was dry and he drank another cup of tea.

Mo Rongzhan's face was gloomy. He knew that there were signs of tax evasion by South Vietnamese merchants, but he didn't expect that they would dare to be so reckless and pervert the law. They had deceived their superiors and kept it secret for so many years. If he hadn't discovered the treasury's account books, he would have never thought of South Vietnam's problem. , originally planned to finish all other things before dealing with South Vietnam.

If it were a few years later and the wealthy families in South Vietnam could form their own country, how would he be able to subdue them?

"Your sixth brother is right, these people are indeed gangrene." Murong Zhan said coldly.

"Brother Imperial, the collusion between officials and businessmen there is too serious. Even if the imperial court sends imperial envoys, they still won't be able to dig out all the evidence of their crimes." Murongyi said in a low voice.

Mo Rongzhan raised his eyes and looked at him, "What are your sixth brothers going to do?"

"He said that if you want to know the secret of the collusion between the wealthy families, you must first gain their trust..." Merongyi said. He vaguely guessed what Sixth Brother wanted to do, but he was not sure.

If he wanted to eradicate the wealthy families in South Vietnam, except Murong Ke, there really was no one who could help him.

"You stay in Kyoto and don't have to go to South Vietnam." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice, "It's enough to have your sixth brother here."

"Brother Huang, I can go and help Sixth Brother." Merongyi shouted.

Morongzhan said, "I will send someone else to help him. I have other things for you to do."

"But..." Mo Rongyi gritted his teeth, "I have encountered so many assassinations on the road. Aren't Sixth Brother and the others more dangerous in South Vietnam?"

If Murong Ke hadn't released the news, no one would have taken action against Murong Yi. He thought why Murong Ke arranged so many people to protect him without knowing it beforehand.

"Your sixth brother is not afraid of danger." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "The more dangerous he is, the more he can survive in South Vietnam."

Merongyi was confused when he heard this.

"Okay, you're tired too. Just sleep in the palace tonight. Go back to the house tomorrow and rest for two days before picking up your errands." Murong Zhan said.

"Brother Emperor, I heard that the queen's sister-in-law went to Chengde Villa?" Merongyi thought of another thing.

Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "If you want to see her, go to Chengde Villa."

"You...have made the queen's sister-in-law angry again?" Merongyi frowned and looked at him, "I heard that you made some kind of concubine, brother, is it true?"

"Go back and rest." Mo Rongzhan said angrily.

Merongyi sat down again, "Brother Emperor, I won't leave until you make it clear."

"You are very courageous." Mo Rongzhan laughed in anger, "Yaoyao is doing well in Chengde Villa. As for the affairs in the palace, you don't need to worry too much. I have my own arrangements."

"Brother Imperial, if you like the new and dislike the old, and you have other beauties to accompany you, then at least wait until the Queen's sister-in-law gives birth to your eldest son. Now that she has not given birth to the child, you can let Concubine Shu get pregnant, just in case..." Murong Yi Thinking of the situation Yaoyao will face in the future, I feel anxious for her.

Morongzhan scolded, "You are very well-informed. How long have you been back and you have already found out everything?"

"I don't want to interfere with the emperor's affairs..." Mo Rongyi touched his nose, "I just feel it's not worth it for the queen's sister-in-law."

"I will never let down your sister-in-law." Mo Rongzhan said lightly, "Go back quickly, don't make me angry."

Murong Yi glanced at Murong Zhan doubtfully, and he decided to go to Chengde Villa to visit the Queen's sister-in-law in person tomorrow to find out what was going on first.

If Concubine Shu gives birth to a son in the future, he will definitely make his position clear early!
