Chapter 967: Repairing the Imperial Mausoleum

Within two days, news came from Xue Chen.

He asked the secret agents in the palace to investigate privately and found out the source of the rumor.

The rumor was first spread by a eunuch in charge of horses in the palace.

At the same time, it was also found out outside the palace that someone deliberately spread these words in teahouses and taverns.

The young eunuch in charge of horses was soon secretly captured by Xiao Yu's people.

After a torture, the young eunuch confessed that it was the eunuch in Lin Xianfei's palace who found him, gave him silver, and asked him to spread these words everywhere.

Outside the palace, Xue Chen also quickly caught two people.

He took the people to the Jinyiwei prison, and under torture, the two confessed.

Someone gave them silver to spread these words outside.

According to the oral statements of the two people, people drew their portraits and searched secretly throughout the capital.

The whole capital was almost turned upside down, but the man was not found.

Xue Chen had no choice but to report it to Xiao Yu truthfully.

Xiao Yu said coldly: "No need to look for him, he must have left the capital."

"At this point, I don't need any evidence. Some people are asking for trouble, so it's not my fault."

He called Xue Chen over and gave him instructions in a low voice for a long time, and Xue Chen nodded repeatedly.

When Xiao Yu finished speaking, Xue Chen said solemnly: "Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely handle this matter well."

Xiao Yu nodded slightly, "No hurry, we must wait for the right time."

The next morning, after listening to the ministers' reports, the emperor suddenly said to Xiao Xuan with a smile: "Prince Jin has done a good job recently, and he has made progress after getting married."

Xiao Xuan now has an idle position in the Ministry of Works. He occasionally reports and does nothing.

Hearing the emperor say this, Xiao Xuan was overjoyed, knowing that his father was deliberately promoting him. He had been ignored by his father in the past few years. Now his father began to suspect Xiao Yu and finally remembered him.

He quickly bowed his head to thank the emperor, "I am ashamed, and I will work harder in the future."

The emperor said lovingly: "The construction of the Huguo Temple will be handed over to you. The Huguo Temple is related to the dignity of my Great Qi and the face of the royal family. You must do this job well."

Xiao Xuan was so excited that he trembled all over. With a real job, he also had power and benefits. His mother's move was really wonderful.

The emperor turned to look at Xiao Yu again. Xiao Yu lowered his eyebrows and stood there quietly.

The emperor looked at him more and more and felt irritated. He said coldly: "Prince, have you been idle recently?"

"I heard that you gather with those people from the underworld every day and don't do your work. If this goes on, how can I be assured of handing over the country to you in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers below trembled in their hearts.

The emperor continued: "From now on, you will go to the imperial mausoleum to supervise the construction. If there is any mistake, you will be the only one to blame!"

Every emperor will start to build his own mausoleum as soon as he takes office.

Now the emperor's mausoleum has just started construction.

Sending the prince to build the imperial mausoleum, it is unknown when it will be built.

The whole court of civil and military officials realized the emperor's intention, which was to keep the prince away from the political center of the capital.

Everyone has heard the recent rumors, no matter where the rumors came from, the emperor must have listened to them.

It is obvious that the emperor now hates the prince and wants to promote the Prince of Jin.

For a moment, the ministers in the hall had different thoughts.

Xiao Yu stepped out and knelt down to thank him, "I will do my best to build the imperial mausoleum."

The emperor snorted and stood up and left.

The eunuch next to him "snapped" the whip and shouted, "Dismiss the court."
