Compared with the Ye family father and son who had a reunion dinner happily, Murongzhan's New Year's Eve was a little less enjoyable.
"Mother, why did you suddenly think of arranging people from your mother's family to the capital?" Murong Zhan did not spend New Year's Eve with the other concubines in the palace, but accompanied the Queen Mother with his brother Murongyi in the Palace of Compassion.
During the banquet, the queen mother suddenly mentioned that she wanted to arrange all her natal family who were far away in Weicheng to the capital. She hadn't seen her brothers and sisters for many years, and she suddenly missed them.
This request made Mo Rongzhan a little surprised. He remembered that the Queen Mother was not close to her natal family at all. If the Cen family hadn't sold their daughter into the palace to support their son, the Queen Mother probably wouldn't have had the hard life before. Married to the one I love.
The queen mother said, "Although the Ai family is not close to them, they are blood relatives after all, so it's not okay to let them suffer in Weicheng."
Murong Zhan didn't really want the Cen family to come to the capital. As the empress dowager's natal family, they naturally wanted to be named marquises. Being a marquis in Weicheng is very different from being a marquis in Kyoto. It is unknown how the Cen family's family education is. He was only worried that some people would use them to make trouble in the future.
"Your majesty, don't you want people from the Cen family to go to the capital?" The queen mother asked Mo Rongzhan with a frown.
"Mother, I don't mean that." Murong Zhan said, "If you want to see people from your natal family, why don't you let them enter the palace to greet you, and then stay in the capital for a while longer."
The queen mother sighed, "When people get old, they will miss their hometown and family members. Your majesty, you don't understand."
"Brother Huang, isn't it just to let uncle go to the capital, anyway, they don't understand anything, and then let them go to the palace to accompany their mother more." Murong Yi said beside him.
Murong Zhan said, "It's not something that can be done right away if uncle and the others are all in Weicheng, I will send someone to take them over."
The queen mother showed a smile on her face, "Okay."
After returning from the Palace of Compassion and Peace to the Palace of Qianqing, Murong Zhan still couldn't figure out why the Queen Mother wanted to bring the Cen family to the capital. She didn't even want to mention the Cen family before.
Something must have happened!
"Your Majesty, Lord Tang is seeking an audience outside the palace." Eunuch Fu whispered to Murong Zhan.
Mo Rongzhan's eyes darkened slightly, Tang Zhen came back so soon?
"Let him in." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice.
After a while, Tang Zhen walked in from the outside with a solemn expression, knelt in front of Murong Zhan, "Your Majesty, I have got the booklet."
"Is there really that booklet?" Mo Rongzhan's voice turned cold, and his eyes became sharper and more menacing.
"The minister also found out that Lin Zhanhong, the businessman who colluded with officials and threatened Lin Maoping, did not die in the fire that year, but changed his name and surname and left Jiangnan." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan's face became more gloomy, "Do you know where Lin Zhanhong is now?"
Lin Maoping told Mo Rongzhan about Lin Zhanhong's threat to Lin Maoping before he died. He asked Tang Zhen to go to the south of the Yangtze River this time. In addition to finding the booklet left by Ye Rongquan, he also wanted to find out the truth about the fire in the Lin family. .
"I only know that Lin Zhanhong fled to Dongqing country, and the exact name of the name change, I haven't found out yet." Tang Zhen said.
Mo Rongzhan looked down at the contents of the booklet, and found that there was no other evidence that could be used except Ye Rongquan crying about his injustice. If it was just his own grievance book, Ye Rongquan would not be able to let Ye Yaoyao protect him cautiously.
"Have you checked this booklet?" Mo Rongzhan asked in a deep voice.
Tang Zhen had already discovered that something was wrong with this booklet, but he would not tear it open for inspection without the emperor's consent, "I think this booklet is a bit strange, and the paper on each page is much thicker than usual. "
Mo Rongzhan put the booklet on his hand, turned around and took a sharp dagger on the desk, and gently cut a page.
One page turned into two, and there was a thin piece of oiled paper in the middle, on which densely written characters were written with charcoal ash. Mo Rongzhan cut the entire booklet with a sullen face, and there were five oiled papers in total.
The coherence of the above content is the truth of the year.
"Your Majesty?" Tang Zhen's quiet expression changed completely when he saw the content above.
"What a Ye Yisong! What a collusion between officials and thieves!" Mo Rongzhan laughed angrily. This is the evidence that Ye Rongquan wants to stay to defend himself. The reason for the assassination.
Tang Zhen looked at the contents on the five oiled papers, and looked at Mo Rongzhan in shock, "Your Majesty, there was always a problem with the salt tax in Jiangnan, but where would such a large amount of money be hidden?"
"Cao Lei." Mo Rongzhan looked at the fourth oiled paper with his fingers, "Ye Yisong and Cao Lei have colluded for a long time, the money that should have been handed over to the treasury must have been hidden somewhere."
"Your Majesty, isn't Cao Lei dead?" Tang Zhen frowned, "How to find out this batch of money?"
"Caojiazhai is dead, but he still has a son." Murongzhan said in a low voice, "Ye Rongquan knows too much, so he can't live in Jiangnan."
Tang Zhen said, "Is that money still there?"
Murongzhan remembered the news from Xue Lin that Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan were going to find Cao Lei's treasure house, which was probably where the tax money was stored.
"I want to go to Dongqing Kingdom in person." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice.
"The emperor?" Tang Zhen looked at him in shock.
Murong Zhan said, "Cao Lei's son must be in Dongqing Kingdom. Bai Ziqi and Shen Yuexuan are both looking for Cao Lei's treasure house. They may not know everything."
Now the only clues are the treasure house left by Cao Lei, and why Bai Ziqi was desperate to kill Cao Lei. He was also one of the people framed by Ye Yisong back then. Maybe he also knew the truth.
Tang Zhen said, "Your Majesty, that is Dongqing Kingdom after all."
"I went to Dongqing Kingdom in my humble clothes, and who knew that I was the emperor of Jin Kingdom?" Mo Rongzhan said flatly, "That batch of tax money is too important to Jin Kingdom to fall into the hands of other people."
"I will go to Dongqing Kingdom with the emperor." Tang Zhen said immediately.
"No, I still need you to go to Jiangnan again. Ye Yisong is able to embezzle such a large amount of tax money. There must be many minions in Jiangnan. In the past two years, I have only eradicated his influence in the capital. If you can't spare a shot, now is your chance." Murong Zhan said in a deep voice.
Tang Zhen nodded, "I understand what to do."
Mo Rongzhan pondered for a moment, "Let Qi Quan come back!"
Qi Quan is also Murong Zhan's confidant general. Now he is guarding the territory of the Jin Kingdom in a border town. Let him come back to the capital to calm down some people who are wandering in their minds, and prevent those people from making small moves behind the scenes when Murong Zhan is not in the capital. .
