MTL - The Legitimate Daughter Returns: The Real Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 376 Something happened to King An

 Yuwangfu, study.

 Xiao Jin entered the room, and there were already several people standing in the room.

 When they saw Xiao Jin, they all bowed respectfully.

 “I see His Royal Highness King Yu.”

Xiao Jin sat down, her expression no longer showing the gentleness she usually displayed, but became sinister.

“What do you think about the Yangzhou matter?”

The people standing downstairs are all officials from the court.

They were not wearing court uniforms, but it was easy to tell from the respectful gestures of several people that they were all Xiao Jin's people.

Several people looked at me and I looked at you, but no one could stand up and say a word.

It wasn't until Xiao Jin's expression became more and more impatient that someone slowly walked out.

 This person is Chen Cheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

“Your Highness, I believe that the Yangzhou magistrate’s actions will lead to an investigation if he goes too far. I will definitely warn my subordinates not to do this.”

"Ah."

Xiao Jin snorted lightly, and several people in the hall couldn't help but shrink back, with a bit of fear.

“I think there is something hidden in this.”

Chen Cheng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what he was doing and subconsciously tensed up his nerves.

 “Your Majesty, what you mean is...someone leaked the secret?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the other people fell to their knees.

“Your Majesty is aware of this, but I will definitely not dare!”

“My lords, please get up quickly. I know what kind of people you are, but Yangzhou is far away from the capital. It is difficult for me to control what will happen.”

As Xiao Jin spoke, his eyes lowered and fell on a few people.

Those people didn't dare to get up. They just lowered their heads and listened to Xiao Jin's instructions.

"There is no intention to pursue the Yangzhou matter any further, but the tail that needs to be cleaned up should be cleaned up, your lords."

 “I understand.”

There is no need to think carefully about Xiao Jin's words. The Yangzhou prefect will be forced back to the capital soon, and he may not live long.

 The adults looked at each other and fell silent.

 “Master Chen, please stay for a moment.”

"yes."

Chen Cheng stopped, turned around to look at Xiao Jin, and quickly lowered his head.

 After the others left, Xiao Jin got down from his position and walked to Chen Cheng.

“Master Chen, there is something that I, after thinking about it for a long time, would like to leave it to you to handle.”

 “Please give me your instructions, Your Majesty.”

 Chen Cheng returned without any hesitation.

 Xiao Jin nodded with satisfaction, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Chen."

  —

 Wang An’s Mansion.

 Wang An is lying in the gentle countryside, lingering.

Suddenly, the door was broken open and the Imperial Guards rushed in.

 “What do you do?”

 King An's concubines fled in all directions, while King An looked at the imperial guards who rushed in with cruel eyes.

Feng Hu, the leader of the imperial army, stepped forward and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, King An, your Majesty has a decree, and he ordered us to take you into the palace."

 “Father?”

 Wang An's expression changed, and he saw that the faces of all the people in the imperial army were indifferent, and his heart became even tighter.

What happened?

Feng Hu stared at King An and said, "Your Highness, let's go."

 “I, the king, will change my clothes first!”

King An knew that he could not run away, so he turned around and put on his clothes before leaving with the imperial army.

With such a big battle, many people in the capital have heard about it.

 In the palace.

 Wang An was taken to the Jinluan Palace.

As soon as he entered, King An saw several ministers kneeling on the ground.

His legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground before anyone could step forward.

 Emperor Jianwen raised his head coldly and looked at King An.

 “Lao Liu, why don’t you come forward?”

 Wang An felt that his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.

 Although he didn't know what happened, King An understood that Emperor Jianwen's reaction was definitely not a good thing.

not to mention…

  King An’s eyes passed over several ministers. These people were all working for him secretly!

 “Master Feng.”

Emperor Jianwen spoke calmly.

Emperor Jianwen didn't need to say anything. Feng Hu understood. He lifted Prince An with one hand as easily as he was carrying a piece of clothing, and brought Prince An to the front.

 Wang An tried his best to control himself and sat up on his knees.

 “My son...my minister...see, I have met my father.”

“Do you know why I came to you?”

Emperor Jianwen didn't care about King An's inappropriate etiquette. He just lowered his body slightly and asked every word.

Sweat broke out on King An's forehead, and several adults nearby had already prostrate themselves on the ground, unable to utter a single word.

 “My son... I don’t know.”

“Eunuch Wan, go and give my sixth son a good talk.”

 Emperor Jianwen withdrew his gaze and gave the order.

After receiving the order, Wan Gonggong bowed his head and walked down to King An.

A few dull sounds sounded, and several account books and a piece of iron ore appeared in front of King An.

 Wang An felt a chill all over his body, and he kowtowed violently. While kowtowing, he said, "Father, please calm down. Father, please calm down. My son... I also want to give my father a surprise!"

At this time, King An's voice became sharper and he did not stutter.

 Emperor Jianwen looked at it with interest, but did not speak.

Eunuch Wan lowered his head slightly. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Emperor Jianwen did not make any move, and then he said: "Your Highness, Prince An, please take a good look at this account book."

Where did King An dare to move? His hands kept shaking, and he finally managed to hold an account book.

“Old Liu, what was the surprise you said you wanted to give me?”

 Suddenly, Emperor Jianwen spoke.

This sound startled King An, and the account book fell to the ground again.

Without bothering to look through the pages, King An lowered his head to the ground and said, "Father, my son also discovered a mine not long ago. He originally planned to mine it, but let me tell you, father, that my son has absolutely no intention of taking it for himself!"

 “What about the mine?”

 Emperor Jianwen's voice became colder and colder.

Even the father-in-law’s heart tightened. It had been many years since he had seen the emperor so angry.

"Mines?" King An was stunned, "Those mines are all in the mines."

 He thought that Emperor Jianwen was angry that he did not report the mines and formed a party for personal gain, but it does not seem to be the case?

Although those ministers were working for him, King An knew that his mother-in-law died young and her natal family could not give him much help, so he knew very well how far he could go.

Therefore, establish good relationships with several royal brothers early on, so that no matter who ascends the throne, he will be safer.

 Emperor Jianwen sneered when he heard what King An said.

He slammed the table and said, "In the mine! Old Six, you are really good at telling lies! I haven't seen a single mine in this mine!"

"impossible!"

 Wang An exclaimed in surprise.

But soon, he realized that what he said now was clearly a slap in the face to his father.

 His father must have asked someone to check whether there is any ore in the mine. King An's back was sweating even more, and his clothes seemed to be getting soaked.

“My father is aware that my son really did not embezzle those iron mines!”

 King An was trembling, but he couldn't produce any evidence.

Emperor Jianwen was a little bored and waved his hand, "Lock up Prince An first."

"yes."

Feng Hu picked up King An again and took him down with several other officials.
