Chapter 349 The Prince Makes Things Difficult
Of course he didn't want to believe that this case was committed by someone from the royal family.
Originally, he thought that the Fourth Prince was extremely evil, but after hearing Jiang Yue's words, he denied his thoughts.
But there is really no evidence to prove that he is not his fourth younger brother.
"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"
"Your Majesty!" Minister of Finance Cui Wanqian stood up.
"Because of the Northern Yan spy incident, General Chen has banned trade. Food from outside the city cannot be brought in, and people inside the city are already competing to grab food."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan looked a little unhappy. How could he be blamed? It was clearly Jiang Yue who asked him to do this.
He couldn't help but look back and glance at Jiang Yue. Seeing a look of surprise on her face, he couldn't help but think that he shouldn't have listened to her orders.
He thought His Majesty would reprimand him, but instead His Majesty said:
"General Chen is right. People are not allowed to enter the city for the time being regarding trade within the city." After hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but raise his head.
When Zhao Chongxiu heard this, his heart was in a mess, like a ball of tangled thread.
"Cui Wanqian, regarding the matter of food, Wanjia, pay attention. The truth must be complicated."
Cui Wanqian: "Your Majesty, if grain merchants don't enter the city, the people will have trouble keeping themselves fed."
Zhao Chongxiu thought to himself, it has only been a few days, this phenomenon should not happen so quickly.
"We'll discuss this later!" Zhao Chongxiu put on his dragon robe and dismissed the court.
And once again Jiang Yue was left behind,
"General Jiang, follow me."
…Jiang Yue followed Zhao Chongxiu and strolled in the imperial garden.
The chrysanthemums in autumn are of various colors and shapes, competing with each other in beauty.
It was Jiang Yue's first time to visit the Imperial Garden of the palace. In addition to feeling the beauty, she also felt an invisible sense of oppression.
About the oppression brought about by this case.
The emperor and his ministers strolled in silence for a long time before Zhao Chongxiu said:
"I thought about it all night last night and came up with ten thousand reasons to excuse him. I just want to ask you, is what you said today true or false?"
Jiang Yue thought to herself that the emperor did listen to what she said.
She said: "To deceive your majesty is to deceive the emperor!"
The implication is that she cherishes her life very much.
If this is true, how can the evidence be explained? Zhao Chongxiu couldn't get over this matter.
Although the court seemed to be harmonious on the surface, it did not prevent the ministers from forming cliques.
"Could it be that someone wants to harm the Fourth Imperial Brother?"
who can that be?
"Jiang Yue, investigate this matter secretly. Also, pay more attention to the matter of Dajin. Find an opportunity and kill them!"
"Yes!" Jiang Yue accepted the order.
Zhao Chongxiu is by no means a good person and is always ruthless to his enemies.
And at this moment, his purpose in looking for Jiang Yue was to let Jiang Yue get rid of them.
Since you refuse to leave, there is only one way out, and that is death.
Of course he knew it wouldn't be easy.
The reason why he made this decision, of course, was because of today's food crisis.
These two things are also one thing.
"Regarding the grain merchants, let's put it this way. Since the grain merchants cannot come in, you will take their place and accept the sale of grain. I suspect it has something to do with the Great Jin."
At present, such critical issues still need to be resolved as soon as possible.
"Yes." Jiang Yue thought to herself, His Majesty wants her to do business?
It actually satisfied her thoughts.
The two of them continued on their way.
Zhao Chongxiu thought about recent events and took Jiang Yue to a rockery, where he saw that it was pitch black.
Jiang Yue was wondering about this, Zhao Chongxiu said:
"I have already ordered someone to make the fireworks formula you mentioned last time, but the effect is still not good. It can't even blow up the rockery in the imperial garden."
"It's a far cry from the strategy you told me to use to defeat the enemy."
In order to crush Northern Yan, Zhao Chongxiu found Jiang Yue's idea novel. Although he was not in a hurry for success, he always had a desire to win.
Jiang Yue thought about it and analyzed:
"Your Majesty, what we are going to make is a siege weapon, which is different from the gentle fireworks. I think the formula and ingredients should be more clear."
Zhao Chongxiu: "Go on."
Jiang Yue nodded and continued:
"When Taoists make elixirs, they often face the risk of explosions. Perhaps the mixture they use to make elixirs will cause violent combustion and explosions. I think that although the materials used are similar to those of fireworks, there will be some differences."
Jiang Yue thought that we should never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, as the first gunpowder was invented by the ancients.
She believed that His Majesty could do it.
"Oh? You have observed it very well." Zhao Chongxiu smiled with satisfaction.
No wonder the recipe I researched last time was not powerful enough. It turned out that there was a problem with the ingredients and the person who was doing the research.
He had already made a secret decision in his heart and sent someone to secretly visit several Taoist priests.
...Jiang Yue finally finished being questioned by His Majesty.
Of course, she also knew that the reason why His Majesty trusted her was more or less related to General Ling.
She also saw that His Majesty was a benevolent and righteous monarch, and was also very shrewd. The turmoil in the court must have been under his scrutiny.
On the way out of the palace.
Jiang Yue had just walked out of the Imperial Garden when she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approaching her angrily.
Compared to the first time they met, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was more targeted towards her this time.
She clasped her fists and said, "Your Highness."
But Zhao Yuanzhen's face turned pale and he said angrily:
"My fourth uncle has no grudge against you, why did you frame him?"
Jiang Yue guessed that it was about this matter. She shook her head and said:
"Your Highness, you misunderstood. I did not intend to frame the Fourth Prince."
"Misunderstanding?" The more Zhao Yuanzhen looked at Jiang Yue, the more angry he became.
"Then why did you appear in the Biyue Tower by such a coincidence and perform such a great deed? Father was deceived by you, but this prince does not believe you!"
"In my opinion, you are in cahoots with Beiyan!"
Jiang Yue still shook her head:
"Your Highness, please do not wrongly accuse a good person. I have no grudge against the Fourth Prince in the past or in the present, so why would you want to harm him? There is something strange about this matter. Please listen to my explanation. Yesterday, the Fourth Prince..."
"You are wrongly accused?" Zhao Yuanzhen was indignant and refused to listen to any explanation.
"Someone come!" He was furious and immediately called over his two close guards:
"General Jiang not only framed the Fourth Prince, but also offended this prince today. Capture her and send her to the Ministry of Justice!"
"This..." The two guards looked at each other.
One person said, "Your Highness, His Majesty..."
"Why, you want to disobey the orders of this prince?"
"My subordinates dare not!"
The two guards usually only obeyed the orders of their Crown Prince. One of them said to Jiang Yue:
"General Jiang, I'm sorry."
Then, he tried to capture him, and the other guard did the same.
Jiang Yue would not surrender easily.
She dodged again and again, trying her best to think of a way to escape.
Just as the two guards approached her, she used both of her palms to clamp down on the two guards, one in each hand.
"Your Highness, there is something fishy going on here!"
The two guards did not dare to make a big fuss. In their opinion, Jiang Yue was a favorite of His Majesty.
As he was originally defeated, he could only look at Zhao Yuanzhen helplessly, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I cannot defeat General Jiang."
Zhao Yuanzhen still had an angry look on his face, and his eyes were red with anger.
"Jiang Yue, just because you have won military merit, do you think you can do whatever you want?"
