That apology letter was not an apology letter at all.
That was a reminder.
Emperor Longqing was still very angry when he remembered it.
He moved his eyes coldly and disgustedly to the conspicuous apology letter next to him, suddenly reached out to grab it, and threw it into the stove next to him.
Then he stared at it coldly until it was burned to ashes, leaving no trace.
Then he called out to Mr.
An to come in.
Mr.
An feels that he is at risk of losing his head recently.
The emperor who had served him for decades was becoming more and more uncertain, like the face of a child in June who changed at every turn.
He began to serve the emperor when he was still a vassal king.
The emperor used to be a very mild-tempered person, respectful to superiors and tolerant to subordinates, and was very popular among the people.
But since becoming the emperor, everything has changed.
The emperor's suspicion gradually increased at first, and finally even the Ming family became suspicious.
With just one informant letter, he actually sent an imperial envoy to escort the Ming family to the capital for trial, causing all the Ming family members to die on the way. .
Then his suspicion became more and more serious, and the eldest prince, Empress Ming, and the eldest prince, one by one, all ended badly, and the Feng family also fell.
Not to mention Cao An, Cao Wen and the others.
When the emperor used them, he did regard them as his confidants, and he was very fond of them.
He even gave them the privilege of not having to bow down to pay homage to the King of Qin.
But it was time for the emperor to dislike them.
They didn't even leave any corpses behind, and all three clans were wiped out.
And King Chu Eunuch An got through it bit by bit, and eventually became the person who accompanied Emperor Longqing the longest and the person he trusted the most.
He used to be very confident about his position in Emperor Longqing's heart.
Over the years, he was the only one who never failed to say that Emperor Longqing had said, be cautious in words, careful in deeds, careful in thinking.
He asked himself that he had done it.
But even so, he clearly felt that the emperor's suspicion had become much heavier recently, and he had to be extremely careful when serving him.
Emperor Longqing's cough interrupted his trance.
He quickly stepped forward and asked softly: "Is Your Majesty going to the Moon Palace tonight?"
Emperor Longqing has been very cold to the Queen recently.
It has been a long time since he was there.
He is either in Concubine De's Lan Yue Palace, or he is going to Concubine Lin Shu, or he is accompanying the fourth prince in his own Tai Chi Palace.
Queen Fang even used Princess Yonghe, but unfortunately they couldn't change Emperor Longqing's mind.
Eunuch An also received things from the Queen's Palace, ranging from nail clippers made of pure gold to large rosewood carvings, and a complete set of huanghuali wood furniture, all included in the gift list.
But he didn't dare to answer.
He even dared not mention Empress Fang's kindness and say good things to her as she wished.
He has been keenly aware of Emperor Longqing's recent anxiety and anger.
Emperor Longqing shook his head and asked him to summon all the cabinet ministers to the imperial study room to discuss matters.
Eunuch An quickly went to the cabinet and invited Xia Song and others.
When Xia Song and others entered, Emperor Longqing was immersed in looking at something.
He raised his head when he heard the cry of long live, raised his eyebrows to invite them, and asked them pleasantly: "How are the war horses in the north doing now?"
The Tatars in the north were always eyeing him.
Emperor Longqing transferred Lian Bo to the border to raise horses.
This job was not easy to do, but it had to be done well.
It has been more than a year now, and the memorial just came a few days ago.
Xia Song replied: "Our own war horses are never strong enough, and there is a gap compared with the Tatar horses.

After Lian Bo went there, he tried his best to get some horse breeds from the Tatars and improved them.
After that, the incidence rate of these war horses is much less than before, and the survival rate is also very high.
Now it has achieved remarkable results. " Emperor Longqing looked much better and even smiled: "Heavy reward" Xia Song nodded in agreement, and Emperor Longqing asked again: "How is the forging of Fujian's weapons?
Liu Biping said that General Lai Wenqiang of Dayu had developed a set of tactics to deal with Japanese pirates, which required weapons to be coordinated, and the drawings had been given to the Ministry of War.
How are the Ministry of War and Ministry of Industry preparing?"
Xia Song didn't say anything, and Qian Shiyun took over: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we are almost ready.
The weapons have been built according to the drawings and are still in the testing stage.
After people from Fujian come to see them, they can Built in batches and shipped to Fujian.”
Emperor Longqing's expression became more and more gentle, and he nodded to express his satisfaction.
Then he changed the topic and asked: "How is the matter with Prince Jin?"
The group of Jinyi guards who had gone after King Jin were all wiped out.
After receiving the news, the prefect of Dengzhou chased him all night long, but unfortunately King Jin still escaped.
When the news came back to the capital, Emperor Longqing was furious.
He had ordered the cabinet to issue a document asking local officials to conduct a strict investigation and make sure to catch the King of Jin.
It has been so long since he gave the order to the cabinet.
In his opinion, no matter what, there should be a result.
This group of people, just like the old fritters, always adhere to the principle of leaving a hint in everything so that they can meet each other in the future, and they are always unwilling to kill everyone.
Besides, there may not be any of them who have been bribed by King Jin with huge sums of money.
Otherwise, how could King Jin know the news in advance and run away?
It was Xia Song's turn to answer this matter in person.
Xia Song paused and then told Emperor Longqing: "Strict orders have been issued to various places, and the Jinyi Guards are also investigating.
I believe there will be news in the near future."
"It's best this way."
Emperor Longqing smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes at all: "Otherwise, I will be really frightened.
Prince Jin is conniving at his son to commit murder under my nose, and then making provocations.
If this is the case, If I can make him run away, then I really have to doubt whether this court is my court or the court of King Jin. " The words had a heart-rending allusion, and everyone was startled.
They looked at each other and hurriedly shook their heads and shouted long live the mountain, but they were also busy saying they didn't dare.
Even Xia Song was a little moved.
He shook his head and said, "I am scared.
Your Majesty is worrying too much.
The court is naturally your Majesty's court.
Of course we are all your ministers."
Emperor Longqing smiled slightly and did not comment.
He only stayed with Xia Song to eat with him and dismissed the others.
Then he said: "Sir, do you know what the apology letter given to me by the King of Jin is about?"
Xia Song was given a seat.
He bowed down from the chair next to him, then touched his beard and shook his head: "I don't know."
Emperor Longqing glanced at him and then slowly calmed down the smile on his face: "This is a memorandum for me.
In it, he listed all my sins since I ascended the throne.
They ranged from saying that I got the throne unfairly to scolding me for punishing me."
To sum up, killing meritorious ministers means that I am not qualified to sit in this position."
Xia Song's complexion gradually changed.
These words were not what he should hear, but now Emperor Longqing told him
