Chapter 52 Sleepless Nights
"The Regent entered the palace and learned from Chongjia that I was not in Jinluan Palace. Then he guessed that I had left the palace. Then he went to the Princess's Mansion to let the Princess prove that he did nothing, so there were only four killers without reinforcements because he could do nothing at that time."
Wen Wenlan's thin lips were pursed into a line, and complex emotions surged in her deep eyes.
If he said this, there are two things that would not make sense. One is why the Regent directly intercepted Chongjia with clear and accurate goals, and the other is why he went to the Princess's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, this was planned." Buyu hesitated for a moment and finally spoke, "Let the Phoenix Guard take action."
Wen Wenlan raised his hand and told him not to be anxious. She didn't know the other party's situation yet. It was not appropriate to just expose her trump card rashly.
"I think there is someone around the Regent." Wen Wenlan took a breath, "We should meet a master who can calculate and calculate."
If so, then everything makes sense.
The man behind the Regent calculated in advance that he was going to leave the palace today. After everything was arranged, the Regent came to the palace to "meet" Chongjia by chance. After confirming that he had left the palace, he went to the eldest princess's mansion. First, let the eldest princess testify, and second, to prevent the eldest princess from running around with the token.
I guess the four killers were targeting them at the city gate, but because there were too many people, they didn't take action.
Wen Wenlan's mouth curled up a cold curve, and the man could even calculate that he could use the eldest princess' token to go out.
It's been leaked that I have lost my life.
"But that man's kung fu is not enough, otherwise the Regent would not have personally checked whether I had left the palace." Wen Wenlan shook his sleeves and said, "I will send the order. Within three days, except for the officials of each hall in Chang'an Palace, the other eunuchs and palace maids will be replaced by the people of the Phoenix Guard, and they will be quietly."
Wen Wenlan is not sure whether the other party knows the existence of the Huangwei, so he can only test it step by step before taking other plans.
"The Regent's temporary let go of the first time and observe it secretly." Wen Wenlan clenched his fists, "throw the bodies of the four people into the alley yesterday, and make them look like an internal fight, and notify Jingzhao Yin by the way."
Someone was selling private salt in the capital, so she had to "tell" Jingzhao Yin in advance that some of them would be busy in the future.
He nodded without saying a word and wrote down, "What should we do about the Minister of Revenue?"
Trafficking private salt in the Southern Dynasties was a death sentence.
"Liu Bensheng has a high position and is very powerful. He dares to do private salt transactions in the capital, which means he must have a way out. Let Fengsi prepare and find a way to do business with Liu Bensheng."
Wen Wenlan stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. The Ministry of Revenue has always been a department that everyone envies, and the Minister of Revenue is the best position to make money.
What does the Minister of Revenue sells private salt? Either the Minister of Revenue is insufficiently greedy or there is a problem with the treasury.
Treasury...
Wen Wenlan's heart tightened and said quickly, "Go and secretly check the current situation of the treasury."
Although the Southern Dynasties are still peaceful now, the surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and no one knows when the fight will start. The treasury must not have problems.
Hearing Wen Wenlan say this, Buyu thought of this layer, and he immediately turned aside, "Do you not plan to abandon the Minister of Revenue?"
Wen Wenlan breathed a long sigh and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
"No, I suspect that Jufulou belongs to him. If so, it will be difficult to solve him."
After three years of ascending the throne, there have been no omissions. I thought the world was peaceful, but I didn’t expect that it was just darkness covered by light.
The Minister of Revenue sells private salt, which should be abolished, and he is the Regent, so he cannot keep it. For both public and private, Liu Bensheng should not stay, but...
If Liu Bensheng fell down, the regent would support more Liu Bensheng. If she had been in the past, she would have been sure to change her own people, but today's incident made her discover that the water in the court was far more than what she saw... turbid.
"Collection of evidence first, Liu Bensheng, no hurry." Wen Wenlan closed his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath of turbid air, "Let the people of Fengshi go to all parts of the country to see who can pay attention to it in advance after the autumn examination."
The opponent is his own emperor brother, who is far-sighted and has been through the court for a long time, and has more experience in these things than he is. If he wants to beat the emperor brother, he cannot take action in front of him and run to the front.
When dealing with the affairs of the previous dynasty, she also had to check whether there were any problems in the harem. She had to find out whether Chongjia had accidentally said that she was not in the palace or had colluded with the Regent.
"You go down first, you are tired today, so let's change to Buyan's stay at night." Wen Wenlan waved, "I'm tired, I'm going to rest."
Lying on the bed, Wen Wenlan couldn't sleep. Although she was the king of a country, she suddenly realized that she was so weak.
Although she held the jade seal in her hand, she did not control the whole country. She used to think that she could take it slowly, but now she is threatened with her life and has to reconsider it.
Wen Wenlan stared at her, and a raging fire ignited in her bright eyes. The Southern Dynasty must be completely in her hands.
Not only Wen Wenlan can't sleep at this moment, but there are also people in a certain courtyard in the capital that are destined to be unable to sleep.
