Liang Tao could not really think about the remaining courtyard of Duke Qi. If this was spread, how mean would the court have to be?

Liang Tao politely sent the Duke of Qi out of the yamen, stood in front of the yamen, and watched the dawn of Qi leave with a smile.

When the Qi State stallion disappeared from sight, his smile disappeared, his brows frowned and his face was shivering.

Two ministers from the Ministry of Revenue stood beside him and said in confusion: "Shangshu, this Duke of Qi knows and has paid his family fortune. Shouldn't he be happy?"

Another minister seemed to have some clarity and said, "The Secretary of State is worried that the Duke of Qi is still trying to trick him. Not all of these?"

Liang Tao shook his head and sighed: "No, this Qi Duke is just the beginning. Let's see, our Ministry of Revenue is in trouble."

The two ministers were stunned and stunned. The Ministry of Revenue had obviously made a fortune, so how could there be trouble?

As if it was confirmed by Liang Tao's words, a carriage was coming not far from the street in front of the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue's yamen rushed to check it out, and a yamen run over quickly and said in front of Liang Tao: "Shangshu Liang is the Marquis of Jingning. He also came to donate his family's wealth and spend the hardships with the court."

As soon as the yamen runner finished speaking, another one came over and said, "Shangshu, the founding marquis of Hanoi County are here."

"The Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works during the Yuanfeng period is here."

"The Secretariat, who retired in the third year of Yuanyou, has come. He is the in-laws of the Duke of Qi..."

The two ministers looked at each other, looked at Liang Tao, and raised their hand and said, "It's still the Minister of State who can see far away, so the lower officials can't wait."

Liang Tao waved his hand to stop their flattery and said, "You can deal with it first. If you have any trouble, I will come forward. By the way, these people can't mess with you. Good tea and snacks to treat you, good words, be more attentive, don't save trouble. Just say so much money, let's bear them."

The two ministers suddenly felt excited when they remembered the wealth of Duke Qi. One of them whispered: "Do you hand over the Shangshu? Just like in the past, you can fill it in the inner treasury?"

Liang Tao nodded, glanced around, and said in a low voice: "Officer Chen specially sent someone to explain that one person would send in without losing one's head. If one is left outside, we...

The two ministers looked at Liang Tao's neck-wiping action, and immediately said, "Don't worry, the minister, the lower officials will never reach out at all!"

Liang Tao nodded, looked outside again, turned around and entered the yamen.

The two ministers secretly raised their anger and waited for these big men to come and donate their wealth.

When the two of them reached the level of Minister of the Secretariat, even if they were so secretive in the court, they could not know where they were. These people must have nothing to do with the Duke of Qi!

The Ministry of Revenue was busy, and Princess Qi'an in the palace was released. She looked ugly and had guessed everything. When someone left the palace to inquire, she knew that the Duke of Qi had donated all the wealth of the Duke of Qi's mansion yesterday. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.

She was so angry that she almost had her teeth broken. She ignored Empress Meng who had returned and went straight to Cining. Without saying a word, she wanted to hang her rope.

Cining was so scared that she hurriedly came out to stop her. Empress Dowager Gao couldn't hide, so she had to let her in.

Princess Qi'an knelt in front of Empress Dowager Gao, without the diligent pleasing of the past, nor was there any sorrow. She said directly: "My mother, as an aunt from the official family, I am now homeless. Please give me a way out for my son to live."

If the dignified princess fell into such a field and said such words, Empress Dowager Gao would have felt very distressed and would have to make any compensation.

But now Empress Dowager Gao looked dull and said, "Who forced you to die? Is it the queen?"

Princess Qi'an could certainly hear the meaning of Empress Dowager Gao's words, and said with no expression, "I don't know about Wang Lian. My son is the princess, the daughter of Emperor Yingzong. My son is fifty years old. He stepped into the coffin with one foot, and I don't know if there will be a place to be buried in the future..."

Empress Dowager Gao's eyes turned cold and said, "What, are you so anxious? Wouldn't you send me off first?"

Seeing that Empress Dowager Gao was so harsh, Princess Qi'an couldn't hold on, so she looked up at Empress Dowager Gao and said, "Duke Qi is confused, but he is not so extreme. The government does this, and it is mostly because of the involvement of the mother..."

Zhou He's face suddenly changed and looked at Princess Qi'an in surprise. He really dared to say anything!

Can such a thing be made public when the emperor and the empress fight for power or the defeated party?

Sure enough, Empress Gao was soaked like water and said coldly: "Come here, drag Princess Qi'an out for me. I passed my imperial edict, Princess Qi'an was disobedient and unfilial, took away the title of Princess, and ordered to stay in the door to think about her mistakes."

Princess Qi'an looked shocked and said, "My mother, are you going to abolish my abolished number? Are you trying to force me to die?"

Empress Dowager Gao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. The palace maid came in and quickly dragged Princess Qi'an out.

Princess Qi'an shouted that even Emperor Yingzong was moved out, but she still failed to move Empress Dowager Gao.

Empress Dowager Gao looked ugly, closed her eyes, took a few breaths, and suddenly said angrily: "Has they always been like this?"

Zhou He turned sideways and didn't speak.

Empress Dowager Gao always felt that she had handled the government well, and that the world was peaceful and the people were in their hearts. How could she remember these dirty things?

Empress Dowager Gao dealt with Princess Qi'an, and the imperial edict was issued to the government affairs hall very quickly.

This is the imperial edict issued by Empress Dowager Gao, not the imperial edict of Zhao Xu, nor the political edict of the Political Affairs Hall. It is conceivable that the shock caused in the court and the public.

The Ministry of Revenue Affairs became more and more lively. There were more nobles and courtiers coming to donate. A long line was lined up in front of the Ministry of Revenue Affairs.

The Duke of Qi State.

Princess Qi'an was escorted back. Yes, she is no longer the princess.

When Duke Qi looked at his wife who had been in his past years, he felt countless feelings in his heart, but said, "The Empress Dowager was originally a way out. Now the official family and the Empress Dowager have offended us. Look, it won't take long. We will either go to prison and die, or go to Lingnan."

Princess Qi'an wants to kill Duke Qi now, but she can still hold it back and sneered: "I won't leave, I'd rather be imprisoned than leave. I'll clear my relationship now. I don't believe that the official family will jail my aunt!"

The Duke of Qi did not speak silently. There was no such reason in the past. But today's official family is different, he will kill people!

The Duke of Qi could not convince Princess Qi'an, or rather, he did not want to convince him.

Imperial City Prison.

The family of Gu Zhengyang, Hou of Ningyuan, was locked up here, wearing prison uniforms, and more than a dozen people were crowded in a prison cell.

After so long, the family has calmed down and has not continued to cry and make a fuss.

Gu Zhengyang sat aside with a calm face. Even at this time, he was already the head of the family and occupied a single place.

Old Mrs. Gu leaned against the wall, her eyes closed, her face full of wrinkles, and she was unprecedentedly old.

Mrs. Gu was full of worry, and surrounded by a group of children, she quietly wiped her tears, without any help.

I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Zhengyang looked up at the window. There was some sunshine there, feeling the smell of rottenness in the cell, looked at Old Mrs. Gu, and said with concern: “Mother, are you okay?”

Old Mrs. Gu opened her eyes, looked at him in a turbid manner, and said weakly: "After a while, I will ask the prison guard for paper and pen, and write a confession for the official, and write it more sincerely."

Gu Zhengyang hesitated and said, "Mother, will it still work at this time?"

Old Mrs. Gu sighed lightly and said, "Give me your best to do my best."

Gu Zhengyang was very obedient this time, nodded, and then remained silent.

In the cell, it was very quiet and no one spoke.

Dali Temple.

The case of "Burning Kaifeng Prefecture" investigated by the Ministry of Justice has basically ended, and more than a dozen prisoners have been tried in court at one time.

The three temple ministers were in charge of the case, and the case was simple and clear. The trial was conducted in the morning and the verdict was announced in the afternoon.

Of the fourteen people, three were sentenced to beheading and the rest were guarded!
