Chapter 211 - Yin Qi Overabundance

As the battle between the Duke of Qin and the Second Prince intensified, the capital began to gradually calm down.

After the return of the morning assembly, the emperor decisively dealt with a few officials who were usually close to the Duke of Qin. Even the family that was related to the Duke of Qin had suffered.

Amongst them was the Li Family whom the Emperor had decreed to marry to Teng Yu back then.

The emperor's lightning-like methods caused the distracted officials in the imperial court to gradually withdraw their edge. The officials who were initially standing on the queue were no longer as enthusiastic, and they behaved as if they had never met any princes.

After taking care of the unstable elements in the court, the emperor brought up the case of the Jiangnan Salt-revenue Management again. He became extremely angry, and other than Teng Yu's list of names, he cut a few others and exiled them.

The ministers listened with trepidation, not daring to answer, for fear that the emperor might set fire to them.

How many people in this great hall were clean and spotless?

On the other hand, the official from the justice court grabbed the opportunity to read Teng Yu's book, saying that he did not care about the laws of the imperial court or the emperor when he overstepped his authority to settle cases.

His evidence had not been verified and the verdict was too arbitrary. He had even executed the officials without the consent of the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court.

One crime after another scolded Teng Yu for being useless. Before the emperor could express his opinion, Teng Yu had already left. He did not even have half a month to attend court.

Seeing this, the Supreme Court did not want to let go of this opportunity. They said he was afraid and wanted the emperor to discipline him. Otherwise, if he grew more and more daring, he would kill even a first rank Supreme Judge.

This person was Teng Yu's sworn enemy, so everything he said was listened to by the emperor at a discount. However, after experiencing the Duke of Qin's betrayal, the emperor was even more cautious against people who could threaten his throne.

Thus, out of the three princes, he had no clear sense of favoritism towards any one of them, nor would he unduly reject any one of them.

Only the heavens knew when Third Prince had lived off of his salary.

This nonchalant punishment naturally revealed the Emperor's attitude towards this matter. In the case of Jiangnan, no one dared to speak anymore.

The list of officials that Teng Yu had drawn up did not include the main representative of the Salt-revenue Management Division.

There was a reason why Teng Yu did not attend the assembly, he went to the Evil Sect main altar, and did not receive any news for half a month, he had already decided to leave, and was not willing to watch those stubborn old fogeys.

“Your Highness, the Seventh Young Master has sent someone to deliver this gift.” Han Sen pushed open the door to Scenic Garden and said respectfully.

Teng Yu was sleeping soundly under the tree, immediately becoming spirited after hearing that, “He's not back yet?”

There are so many weirdos in this mountain, and there is an old man who wants to eat young grass when he's old. That night, he placed an aphrodisiac incense in my room, and tried to sneak into my room with the intent to commit suicide, but the old man had a scar on his face, his eyes were cloudy, his teeth were yellow, and he had a bad breath. I resisted the urge to kill him, removed his roots, and threw him into a deep pool.

Anyway, it's all mine. I only took part of it back home, so only a fool would put all the eggs in the same basket. You keep them for safekeeping, and as a safekeeping fee, I'll give you those three boxes of weapons ...

Don't blame me for being stingy. I heard that the weapon crafting disciple was under the tutelage of the Great Elder and was not the same person as me. He was accidentally cut by me, so the three boxes in your hands might be the last ones.

Oh, I also discovered another strange thing. The one surnamed Zuo and the one surnamed Yu had a falling out recently, I even saw the one surnamed Zuo come out of the room one morning, looking at his lazy body and his walking posture, I knew what was going on. He refused to admit it, but in the end, heh heh.

“Although the scenery in the mountain is beautiful, it is still cold. At night, they would wake up from the cold and be unable to control their face, so many beauties recommended themselves to bed, saying that they would warm my bed. I despise them for being too cold, but who knows who will warm the bed if they sleep together ...”

The corner of Teng Yu's mouth twitched. At the very end of the letter, Yin Xu had used a euphemistic tone to express his feelings and feelings for him, causing that bit of sour feeling that had just appeared to dissipate without a trace.

Teng Yu went into the house and quickly wrote a reply. On the thin piece of paper, there was only two words: “Looking forward to returning!”

He ordered people to put the items into the storage room, except for the three boxes of weapons.

After finding Han Qing, Teng Yu had him personally bring some people to the Hui State, and deliver all these items to Guo Yanshan's secret processing plant.

“Just nice, bring a message to Yu Xuezhong, let him prepare for transfer.”

“Your Highness, has the matter been confirmed?” “Your Majesty, that ...” Even though the poison had been dispelled, the bad temper of the Emperor was still retained. He had become autocratic, sinister, and indecisive. It was said that very few people dared to rebel against him.

This was probably a side effect of being betrayed.

“This hall will let Yu Xuezhong's name appear in front of him.” Teng Yu didn't plan to use the people around him this time, so it was normal for him not to know how the situation had developed.

Han Qing nodded, then bowed and left the room.

Three days later, the new salt transfer envoy was chosen, it was indeed Yu Xuezhong, the imperial court responded normally, other than some people who spoke a few words, no one else objected.

Only because he had been an official for a long time, and kept a low profile, when the name came out, there were some people in the imperial court who did not remember who he was. They did not even think about it.

After getting to know his life, after careful consideration, they discovered that he was someone who wasn't related to anyone, so there was less trouble.

Although some people were careful to discover that Hui State was the place where Third Prince went to provide relief early in the year, there was definitely an exchange between the two, but when they thought back to the Advice Letter that was sent over by the Prefect, they did not seem to be too harsh on the Third Prince, not too good, not too bad, not too salty at all, just like a stranger.

The emperor was very satisfied with this. After comparing a few candidates over and over again, he still chose him.

Teng Yu only smiled when he received the news, he was not surprised at all. This time, he was going with the network of people Cheng Yi gave him, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a firm royalty, so the people he recommended would naturally be neutral.
