After Zhou Yu finished speaking, Xu Bin immediately looked at Zhou Yu with wide eyes and disbelief.

But Xu Bin didn't say anything. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be of no use. In just a few words, he had completely seen Zhou Yu's cruelty and viciousness.

Although he didn't know what the acting emperor in front of him was going to do, Xu Bin already understood that this acting emperor not only wanted to kill his brother, but also wanted to kill the queen mother in the palace after death. Xu Bin felt that he was the one who could make everything happen.

There was no definite evidence about the chess pieces and bait at the beginning, but Xu Bin felt this way at this moment.

The Queen Mother is seriously ill? Xu Bin doesn't believe it at all. He knows that the Queen Mother Sun has always been in good health and will never become seriously ill for no reason. He also understands that the person in front of him is threatening him. If he doesn't cooperate, the Queen Mother will really...

He is terminally ill. How long has he already controlled the inside and outside of the palace to such an extent?

Xu Bin's face was ugly. He stared at Zhou Yu as if he wanted to see some real thoughts from his face, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.

Several Jinyi guards dragged Xu Bin away. Cheng Jing looked at Zhou Yu who was playing with the chess pieces again and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late."

"Yes." Zhou Yu nodded slightly and said, "Go back to the palace and rest."

After rejecting Cheng Jing's suggestion to let the palace maids attend his bed, Zhou Yu had a good night's rest alone under the service of the eunuchs and maids. He woke up early the next morning, ate something and went to the palace of Queen Mother Sun.

.

After stopping the reports from people outside the palace, Zhou Yu entered the courtyard and was led by the palace attendants to a spacious wing. He saw the Queen Mother Sun, Queen Qian and the late emperor's concubines who were eating breakfast around the table.

.

As soon as Zhou Yu appeared, the few people at the dinner table, led by Queen Qian, hurriedly stood up and saluted Zhou Yu.

"No need to be too polite." Zhou Yu waved his hand and walked towards Queen Mother Sun, who suddenly became sullen and sat motionless on the chair. He bowed slightly and hugged her with both hands: "I have met the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Sun said in a cold tone: "Why does the emperor come here so early today?"

"It's nothing serious, I just came to say hello." Zhou Yu stood up slowly, glanced at the one-year-old child in the arms of Queen Mother Sun, smiled and hugged the child directly in his arms. This move immediately silenced the audience.

, everyone looked at Zhou Yu nervously.

"Why is this little guy still in the palace? I haven't already given him a title, so he should live in the palace. It would be a blessing to stay with the Queen Mother instead of leaving the palace."

Zhou Yu didn't do anything to the child. He teased the child for a while and handed it to Queen Qian who was standing by.

"The Queen Mother is seriously ill and may not be able to persist. Now the Queen Mother is the most powerful person in the palace. I came here today to hope that the Queen Mother can regain control of the harem."

Empress Dowager Sun glanced at Zhou Yu and sneered: "No need, a mere harem emperor will not be able to control it."

Zhou Yu shook his head: "I always feel that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. If the Queen Mother doesn't want to, that's all. It's just that I have some things I want to ask the Queen Mother for."

Empress Dowager Sun said calmly: "How can I help you as a female prostitute? The Emperor please do it."

Zhou Yu pretended not to hear, and said to himself: "I wonder if the Queen Mother remembers Liu An. This man originally served in Datong, Xuanhua, and returned to the capital without permission. Along the way, he even claimed that he had met the late emperor and that the late emperor had returned to the capital.

He was given the title of Marquis, not by the late emperor, but by the emperor. The emperor gave him the title, and it was the emperor who asked him to return to the capital first to report to the capital so that the capital could prepare for the reception."

Empress Dowager Sun suddenly looked at Zhou Yu, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"I know that the Queen Mother will definitely want to know this news." Zhou Yu smiled and said: "But the court officials have reached a consensus that the late emperor is dead. Liu An's move is to disrupt the army. I have ordered him to be killed."

He will be beheaded, and his accomplices will be traced and their homes will be ransacked."

"By the way, Queen Mother, I am also going to send people to Oara to question Tuotuo Buhua about his intentions, and order him to be executed immediately first and the fake who caused trouble to the Ming Dynasty. In addition, I will also send people to supervise. It just happened that someone recommended someone to me.

His name is Xu Bin, and I am going to use him as my envoy to go to Wala."

The successive words made Empress Dowager Sun's face become even more gloomy. Her eyes looking at Zhou Yu were filled with undisguised resentment and ridicule: "Why would the Emperor ask me if he has this ability? The Emperor can do whatever he wants. Now

The Ming Dynasty Wara is at war with Naboer Ji Jin and Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, but I don’t know if they will listen to the emperor’s words.”

"If he is obedient, I will reward him. His choice determines the life and death of Alazhiyuan and the hundreds of thousands of Wala army. The Queen Mother does not know that I personally led the army to defeat the central army of Wala in one night. The 50,000 Wala army is not

If you die, you will be captured, and even Alazhiyuan has been brought back to the capital by me."

"I just need to ask Alazhiyuan to lead the envoys to Oara. It doesn't matter even if he has only a few pounds, a lot of money, and no flowers, and he doesn't listen to me. He knows how to do this deal of exchanging one head for many captives."

The queen mother's body started to tremble, and the others also looked at Zhou Yu who was talking in fear. Was he unabashedly saying that he wanted to kill the Baozong in front of them?

Cheng Jing suddenly came in from outside, glanced at the people present, and then whispered into Zhou Yu's ear: "Your Majesty, Xu Bin committed suicide in the prison after returning last night."

"He committed suicide. Is this person unwilling to be my pawn and serve the Ming Dynasty?" Zhou Yu nodded slowly, waved his hand and said: "Go down and behead all the remnants of Jingnan in the prison, and let the cabinet draw up a decree.

Announce to the world that these people are all a disgrace to the Ming Dynasty, are traitors, and are the masterminds behind the failure of the Battle of Tumubao. We need to put up a sign so that everyone can see their identities."

"For example, who is from the Queen Mother's palace, who is from Queen Qian's palace, and who is close to these remnants of the Jingnan crisis? Even if I am the emperor, I must do it with justification and evidence."

Empress Dowager Sun trembled all over and closed her eyes. A few tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and she gritted her teeth to keep from making a sound.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What a pity." Zhou Yu stood up and looked at the Queen Mother Sun, and said: "I saw Xu Bin last night, and I was going to give him a chance to tell the Queen Mother about it.

I just didn't expect that he would choose to commit suicide. This is indeed what I thought of, but even if he is dead, I can't let him off easily. It would be more comfortable for me to break the bones of such an unfaithful and unfilial person."

Cheng Jing bowed and said: "I understand that I will personally guard him and crush his bones and raise his ashes. However, Your Majesty, I am afraid that Liu An and the remnant of Jingnan will be involved in a wide range of things, and may also involve the family of the late emperor, empress, and concubines."

"Check first, if we are sure to kill the three clans."

Empress Dowager Sun suddenly stood up, pointed at Zhou Yu and said fiercely: "What on earth do you want!"

Zhou Yu answered Fei's question: "The late emperor's body has been found. He was completely disfigured by one hundred and eighty arrows. However, if he is the Queen Mother, we should be able to confirm his identity."

"Haha." Empress Dowager Sun suddenly laughed and said: "This is the only reason why you are planning everything. I tell you this is impossible. Your imperial brother is not dead yet, he will definitely come back, hahaha."

"Do you think I care about this?" Zhou Yucai thought it was ridiculous and shook his head: "If I cared about reputation, I wouldn't force the ministers to agree that the late emperor was dead, and call the truth a lie in front of countless soldiers. I wouldn't

I don’t care about fame and reputation, let alone whether I am in a right position. All I want is peace of mind in the world. If he appears, I will kill him. If he doesn’t appear, I will have him killed."

"Originally I promised you not to do anything to him. If he could come back and change his name at most and take your family to become a rich man under my supervision, he would be worthless to Ye Xian and could be killed at any time.

I'll send it back first. Originally, your family reunion was just around the corner, but you always like to do things that make me unhappy.

Things, I finally calmed down the chaos in the capital, blocked Ye Xian's army at Zijin Pass, and defeated the Wala army at Juyong Pass. Everything was developing in a good direction. You just like to do things to show yourself.

The sense of presence seems to remind me that I must kill you all."

Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly became cold and cold, staring at the Queen Mother Sun like a poisonous snake: "Do you think I can't tell that the Queen Mother is poisoned? I will definitely investigate this matter, Cheng Jing."

"I'm here."

"Announce the poisoning of the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother cannot recover, let all the people in the Palace of the Queen Mother be buried with the Queen Mother."

Cheng Jing said in a deep voice: "My lord, I obey the order."

"Hmph." Zhou Yu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and strode away with his hands behind his back, leaving behind the dark-faced Empress Dowager Sun and the panic-stricken concubines of the Baozong.

All the way to the Wenhua Hall, Zhou Yu calmly waved his hands to indicate to the ministers that there was no need to be polite. After walking in, he sat down on the dragon chair.

Everyone could see that Zhou Yu was in a very bad mood at this time. He was gloomy and suppressed with rage. No one dared to provoke Zhou Yu.

Cheng Jing very wisely stood up and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager suddenly fell seriously ill and there is no way to recover. It is found that the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill because she was poisoned. The Emperor ordered that the matter be investigated strictly. If the Empress Dowager

The Empress Dowager died of illness and everyone from Qingning Palace was buried with her."

Yu Qian was shocked and asked quickly: "Your Majesty, can we find out that it was someone from Qingning Palace who poisoned me?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and said coldly: "Who else would poison other than Qingning Palace? Who would benefit the most from the death of the Empress Dowager?"

There is no solution to this problem, because if the Empress Dowager dies, then only Empress Dowager Sun can really benefit the most.

She could lift the confinement of Qingning Palace and leave there on her own, and even continue to show off her power as the emperor's elder. She could also reunite the Queen Mother's Party, which had finally begun to collapse, to oppose any decision of the emperor.

This is the advantage of Empress Dowager Sun, but it is also the disadvantage of Ming Dynasty.

Yu Qian wanted to say something, but Zhou Yu didn't give him a chance to speak: "Ministers, can you finish the list that I asked you to write yesterday? Now submit it to me. I am ready to take a good look at it."

Cheng Jing immediately took people to receive the coupons that the ministers took out. Yu Qian also took one out and slapped it on Cheng Jing's hand. He hurriedly said to Zhou Yu: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence or evidence for this matter."

It would be better to be more detailed. In the Qingning Palace, there are the former empress’s concubines, as well as the empress dowager and the former empress. They are just concubines. There is no reason for the empress dowager and empress to be buried together.”

"Should I let them bury the late emperor with me?" Zhou Yu snorted and said, "The one they want to bury with me is the empress dowager, the most sage and empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty. She is the most noble person in the Ming Dynasty. I don't want to talk about this now.

No need to say more.”

Yu Qian wanted to say something else but was stopped by the official next to him: "Master Yu, please rest for now. No matter how much your Majesty is still angry, it's useless. It's better to wait for Your Majesty to calm down and then give you some advice."

Yu Qian helplessly looked at the pile of folded papers: "I'm worried that if I don't say it now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance. Then I'm afraid I won't be buried with him but will be punished for treason. I'm afraid that the burial with him is just a cover."

"well."

Zhou Yu opened the folders one after another and looked at them. From the first folder he opened, Zhou Yu saw many different names. As more folders were opened, Zhou Yu even saw more names.

Even Yu Qian and the cabinet elders have it.

But generally speaking, there must be something wrong with the ones whose names are mentioned the most in these excerpts.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry and just wrote it down in his mind, and then asked Cheng Jing to put the fold away.

"I have seen the list of everyone." Zhou Yu tapped the table twice, said a name casually and asked: "This person is neither a court official nor a military commander, let alone a palace minister, so how can he

Known by all the ministers."

The ministers did not speak but Cheng Jing dared to speak: "Your Majesty, this person's surname is Sun, and he is the brother of the Queen Mother."

"Sun." Zhou Yu laughed out loud, making all the ministers shiver: "By the way, my surname is Sun, Sun Jizong. It's a good name. I will inherit the clan, but which clan will I inherit? The Queen Mother is

If he is an orphan from Jingnan, how can he have relatives? Could it be that this Sun family member is also a member of Jingnan?"

Yu Qian was horrified and said: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to say such nonsense."

Zhou Yu glanced at Yu Qian: "I'm not talking nonsense. I have the imperial edict of Emperor Yongle in my hand to prove it. The things left by our ancestors cannot be fake. That was the wise and mighty Emperor Yongle, who was more than twenty years old."

You personally served Mr. Yu many years ago, so you should know that he will not act without aim."

"Your Majesty!" Yu Qian spoke again in a deep voice: "Whether it is true or false can be confirmed slowly, but the most important thing now is Oara, Fujian, and floods."

"You are right." Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Just let the Jin Yiwei investigate. If you want to find the problem, kill the nine tribes and confiscate their homes and put it into the national treasury. This Sun Jizong is the name that appears most in the list given by all the ministers.

If he was really innocent, why did he let so many ministers wrongfully accuse him?"

"Master Yu, do you think that the ministers around you are actually the ones with evil intentions, and that the person named Sun is actually an innocent person?"

Yu Qian knelt down quickly: "I don't mean that, but the country is unstable and it is not appropriate to go to war again, Your Majesty."

Zhou Yu stared at Yu Qian and said: "I only know how to destroy and then build up. This Ming Dynasty has become a mess because of Baozong. If we don't take this opportunity to completely cut off these carrion, this Ming Dynasty will only get worse and worse in the future.
