Chapter 124 Desire for profit, Wen Shichu 16

When marching and fighting, as a general commanding the three armies, Nian Gengyao hated the most was hesitation and procrastination when giving orders.

Naturally, he was a decisive person. He decided to make Ulanara and Uya suffer for the Empress Dowager and the Queen, and immediately sent people to investigate the two families.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

Since the Wuya clan had a queen mother, their status was very prominent, and they could be said to have become the head of the Baoyi clan. Their members were corrupt, occupied good farmland, and raped women, but these were considered minor offenses. After a thorough investigation by Nian Gengyao's men, they found that they dared to intercept the tribute.

In comparison, the Ulanara clan, who simply relied on the queen in the palace to accept bribes, seemed particularly honest and decent.

A few days later, a group led by Nian Gengyao reported the crimes of the Uya and Ulanara families in the court, causing an uproar among all the civil and military officials in the court.

The incident happened suddenly and the emperor was caught off guard by Nian Gengyao. Even if the testimonies were true and the crimes were real, the emperor was very angry about the actions of the two families. However, he was even more dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao for impeaching his maternal family, the Uya clan, and the queen's maternal family, the Ulanara clan, without permission.

In fact, the emperor was unwilling to acknowledge that the Uya clan was his maternal family. He felt that he was raised by Empress Xiaoyi Ren, Tong Jia. Although the jade plaque was not changed to Tong E'niang, his status was much superior and nobler than that of other princes. He believed that the Tong family was his maternal family, and even addressed Tong Jia Longkodo, Tong E'niang's younger brother, as his uncle.

But no matter how much he was unwilling to admit it, everyone knew that his biological mother was Uya, and the Uya clan was his real maternal family.

Therefore, although the emperor did not have much affection for Uya, he was still very dissatisfied with Nian Gengyao's sudden suppression of Uya.

Nian Gengyao came prepared. The evidence of the crimes of the two families was irrefutable, and they could not refute it. Moreover, there were few people from the two families in the court.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the emperor had no choice but to order that the men from both families be imprisoned first, the woman and her child be imprisoned in the palace, and people be sent to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The emperor stormed out and returned to the Yangxin Palace in a rage.

After the morning court session ended, the news that the Ulanara family and the Uya family had committed crimes spread like lightning throughout the entire harem in a short while. Naturally, Jingren Palace and Shoukang Palace also learned about this. The palace people were trembling with fear, but still reported the news to their respective masters.

Yixiu had another headache and frowned as she pondered over a countermeasure. At this moment, she was actually glad that her position as the queen was unstable and did not bring much convenience to the Ulanara family, and her family did not have much ability to do evil. But it was different for the Uya family. The empress dowager, as the emperor's biological mother, could bring insignificant help to the Uya family. What's more, the empress dowager had been very favored since the previous emperor's time. She must be much more anxious than her.

Knowing that there were people who were more anxious than herself, Yixiu’s headache was relieved a lot.

The empress dowager was indeed extremely anxious. Her family knew her own affairs. Ever since she was named Depin by the previous emperor, the Uya clan had become arrogant and relied on her favor to do many evil things. Now that the fourth prince had become the emperor, the affairs in the family might have reached the point where they were too numerous to record.

The empress dowager could not sit still or stand steadily. After thinking it over, she still could not calm down. She wanted to send someone to the Yangxin Palace to invite the emperor, but she felt that it was not sincere enough, so she planned to go to the Yangxin Palace in person to plead with the emperor.

At this time, in the Yangxin Palace, Nian Gengyao was asking for an audience.

The emperor didn't want to see him at first, but he was still afraid of the Nian family and Nian Gengyao, so he had to see him.

At the morning court, I had to issue an edict, and now I have to meet you.

This morning, the emperor was forced to do two things he didn't want to do. What dignity does he still have as an emperor!

When Nian Gengyao came in, he saw him with a dark face and burning with anger.

The emperor spoke with gritted teeth, uttering word by word, "General Nian, what other advice do you have?" Wasn't what happened this morning enough?

Although Nian Gengyao knew the emperor very well, he knew that he cared about his reputation. He had already angered him during the morning court session, so his request to see him in the Yangxin Palace was naturally to calm him down.

Nian Gengyao came in and paid his respects. The emperor did not call him to get up, so he knelt on the ground, crawled forward, put himself at the lowest position, hugged the emperor's legs, and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I know that what happened this morning displeased you, but I did it for your own good."

Before Nian Gengyao finished speaking, the emperor was already shocked. One has to know how arrogant Nian Gengyao was usually, but now he was so humble, kneeling on the ground with his arms around his knees and begging for mercy. It must be said that the emperor felt a subtle sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"I heard that the people of the Uya clan are taking advantage of your status and acting recklessly and lawlessly. How can I tolerate this?

When I am on the march and fighting outside, I dare not slack off for the moment, not because I am afraid of losing the battle, but because I am afraid of losing face for you.

Fortunately, I have the trust of the emperor, and all matters concerning the war are under my control. I am a virtuous minister and a wise emperor. I am looking forward to leaving my name in history with you and creating a good story between the emperor and his subjects!

Your Majesty, you must not let those villains ruin your wisdom!"

The emperor laughed loudly after hearing these words and personally helped Nian Gengyao up. "Good, good, good! You are worthy of being my great general Nian!"

The emperor knew that there was something fishy in Nian Gengyao's words, but these words really touched the emperor's heart. Once upon a time, he also valued Nian Gengyao very much and thought that the two of them would become a pair of monarch and minister that would be passed down through the ages.

Furthermore, all the ministers in the court already knew about the crimes of the Ulanara and Uya families, and they could not hide them. Now they had no choice but to burn their boats and scrape the bone to heal their wounds.

He could not do without Nian Gengyao. Since Nian Gengyao was so persuasive in trying to appease him and give him a way out, the emperor had no choice but to go along with it and whitewash the situation.

Therefore, when the empress dowager arrived at the Yangxin Palace, Nian Gengyao had already left, and what she faced was the emperor who was determined to severely punish Uya. No matter how she pleaded, it was of no avail.
