Chapter 1436: Died from a slut!
The next day, morning

Amidst the backache, Ye Mingsheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window. His intuition told him that he got up late today, so he casually asked:

"what time is it now?"

Hearing Ye Mingsheng's question, Jinyu outside the door immediately came over and reported:

"Your Majesty, it is now 2:45 PM!"

Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but shook his head when he heard that. Usually, he would have had breakfast and started working in the imperial study at this time, but he hadn't gotten up yet. Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but want to get up, but as soon as he moved, the pain in his lower back made Ye Mingsheng stop.

As if she had noticed Ye Mingsheng's pain, Jinyu beside him asked with concern:
"Your Majesty, how are you? Are you in pain?"

Ye Mingsheng did not answer Jinyu's question, but opened his mouth and ordered:

"Bring me two cushions! I need to lean on them for a while!"

Jinyu immediately found two cushions and placed them on Ye Mingsheng's lower back. Then Ye Mingsheng leaned against the head of the bed to rest.

As emperor, Ye Mingsheng spent most of his time sitting in the chair in the imperial study and reviewing memorials submitted from various places.

Although Ye Mingsheng is not a workaholic like Ye Zhupi Laosi, he still works about four hours a day and rests five or six days a month.

Ye Mingsheng also calculated when he had nothing to do. He spent at least eighty hours sitting in a chair at work in a month...
Over the years, Ye Mingsheng has some problems with his waist and cervical spine. When he was young, Ye Mingsheng didn't care much about it, but as he grew older, these problems became more and more serious and prominent.

The medical school also gave Ye Mingsheng a treatment plan for this problem, which required Ye Mingsheng not to sit for long periods of time, but to get up and exercise after working for half an hour, and then to use acupuncture, cupping and other treatments.
At the beginning, Ye Mingsheng also followed this plan, but the problem was that Ye Mingsheng was a little slow to enter the working state. It took him half an hour to enter the working state. At this time, he got up to exercise, and when he came back, he had to enter the working state again. This really affected his work efficiency.

The work that Ye Mingsheng could handle in one day before might take him a day and a half according to this method!
So after a period of time, Ye Mingsheng abandoned the plan of the medical school and changed to exercising once every working hour. Although this did not affect his efficiency, Ye Mingsheng's problems with his waist and cervical spine had not been completely improved!

Originally Ye Mingsheng had problems with his waist. He had fought with Chen Rouer yesterday and had fought with Jinyu again in the early hours of this morning. Especially since these two were more gentle than the other, Ye Mingsheng felt a little uncomfortable!

So at this time, this old waist also protested to Ye Mingsheng!

Leaning on the cushion, Ye Mingsheng felt his waist was a little more comfortable. He secretly reminded himself to be restrained. He was now in his thirties, not a young man. He could not gallop like before...
At this time, Jinyu continued to ask with concern:
"Your Majesty, is your waist feeling better? Do you want me to ask the imperial physician to come over?"

Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:
"It's okay! I'll be fine after a while! Bring me something to eat!"

"What would you like to eat, Your Majesty?"

Although Ye Mingsheng was a little hungry, he had no appetite, so he immediately ordered:
"Give me a bowl of porridge! It should be thicker, and then just some side dishes!"

"Yes!"

After hearing that, Jinyu took the order and left. After Ye Mingsheng leaned back for about a cup of tea, he felt the pain in his waist relieved. He stood up immediately, and then with the help of the palace maid, he simply washed and changed his clothes.

At this time, Jinyu had also arranged the meals, and Ye Mingsheng was just about to start eating. Although Ye Mingsheng just asked Jinyu to make some casually, Jinyu did not deal with Ye Mingsheng casually. There were three types of porridge alone, namely black rice porridge, millet porridge, and eight-treasure porridge!

There were nine kinds of side dishes, including braised beef in soy sauce, fried peanuts, steamed pork ribs, etc. Although Ye Mingsheng felt it was a bit wasteful, he also knew that it was Jinyu's thoughtfulness, so he didn't say anything.

Just as Ye Mingsheng was enjoying his meal, a palace maid walked into the room and reported:

"Your Majesty, Director Ye wants to see you for something!"

Hearing Ye Cheng come to see him at this time, Ye Mingsheng also remembered what he told him last night about Wang Xuecheng's backstabbing. He immediately realized that he came to see him at this time, which must mean that the matter has come to a conclusion. He immediately ordered:
“Let him in…”

With Ye Mingsheng's permission, Ye Cheng also walked into the room. He was about to report the progress of the matter, but when he saw Ye Mingsheng eating, he was also hesitant. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said:

"You talk while I eat! It's out of the way!"

After saying this, Ye Mingsheng gave a look to Jinyu who was standing beside him. Jinyu immediately obediently left the room and closed Ye Mingsheng's door.

Seeing this, Ye Cheng immediately reported:

"Your Majesty, Director Wang died in the medical school half an incense stick ago due to excessive blood loss and failed rescue efforts!"

Upon hearing the news of Wang Xuecheng's death, Ye Mingsheng was a little stunned. It felt it was very sudden. Although he heard the news that Wang Xuecheng was stabbed three times last night, Ye Mingsheng had never thought that Wang Xuecheng would die!

Although Wang Xuecheng has always been regarded by Ye Mingsheng as a dirty glove that does dirty work for him, Wang Xuecheng has been loyal and hardworking over the years, completing all the tasks assigned by Ye Mingsheng with quality and quantity without any major mistakes. Ye Mingsheng also remembers him as a favor!
Therefore, when Ye Mingsheng heard the news of Wang Xuecheng's departure, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Who killed Wang Xuecheng?"

Ye Cheng said without hesitation:
"Your Majesty, the one who murdered Wang Xuecheng was a captain named Zhao Zibo from the Coordination Office!"

After hearing this, Ye Mingsheng was somewhat surprised and asked back:

"Ye Cheng, are you saying that Wang Xuecheng was killed by his own subordinates?"

"Your Majesty, based on the current investigation, the situation should be like this..."

Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised to hear Ye Cheng's affirmative answer. At this time, Ye Cheng continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, Director Wang was assassinated by Zhao Zibo at his home last night!"

Ye Mingsheng was even more puzzled when he heard this:
"Why is he going to Zhao Zibo's house in the middle of the night instead of sleeping peacefully at home?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Ye Ling was dissatisfied with Director Wang's keeping mistresses outside. Because of this matter, the couple quarreled a lot, and sometimes even fought. So Director Wang rarely went home to sleep, and usually slept with his mistresses!"

"I heard that Zhao Zibo's wife, Yang, was one of Director Wang's mistresses. Some time ago, Zhao Zibo was exiled to Yongliang by Director Wang. I don't know how he managed to sneak back!"

"Last night, when Director Wang was having an affair with Yang, this Zhao Zibo suddenly rushed out and stabbed Director Wang three times without warning!"

"It is said that while Zhao Zibo was killing people, he was also shouting at you two adulterers, if you don't let me live, then we will all die together!"

Because the incident happened suddenly, by the time the guards around Director Wang reacted, Director Wang had already fallen in a pool of blood!
"When these guards wanted to capture Zhao Zibo, Zhao Zibo set the Zhao Mansion on fire. He had made preparations beforehand and there was kerosene in the house. When he lit the house, it caught fire in an instant. He and Yang also died there...
Listening to Ye Cheng's story, Ye Mingsheng also felt a little bit unbelievable. His director of the Coordination Department, the biggest spy chief in Daqian, was actually killed by his subordinates just because he had an affair with his subordinate's wife?
Last night, after learning the news that Wang Xuecheng was stabbed three times, because the matter was still shrouded in mystery and there were no results of the investigation, Ye Mingsheng also wondered who wanted to assassinate Wang Xuecheng!
The first people Ye Mingsheng thought of who might assassinate Wang Xuecheng were the people who opposed his layoff plan during this period. During this period, his layoff plan had laid off a lot of redundant staff in local governments. Therefore, many people who lost their iron rice bowls were dissatisfied and caused a lot of trouble!
Although the provincial secretaries and provincial judges in various places did not dare to say it outwardly, they were also opposed to Ye Mingsheng's layoff plan in their hearts. So when faced with these former colleagues who were making trouble because of layoffs, they inevitably felt sympathy for the former colleagues, and even sympathized with them, so they were a little lenient in suppressing them!
At this time, the role of the Unified Coordination Office was greatly highlighted, so Wang Xuecheng did a lot of things for himself and arrested a lot of people during this period!

So after hearing about Wang Xuecheng being assassinated last night, Ye Mingsheng was the first to suspect that Wang Xuecheng was assassinated because of this incident!
Secondly, Ye Mingsheng believed at that time that the people who assassinated Wang Xuecheng might be some of the old people from the Great Zhou Dynasty, or people from his former hostile forces!
After Ye Mingsheng established Daqian, in order to maintain the stability of the dynasty and avoid any future troubles, he ordered the Coordination Office to continue hunting down the remnants of the previous dynasty. Wang Xuecheng has always been very ruthless in dealing with these remnants of the previous dynasty, so if they want to kill Wang Xuecheng, it is understandable!

In addition to the above two possibilities, Ye Mingsheng also suspected that certain forces within Daqian were involved in this matter...

After all, the existence of the Coordination Office has affected many departments of the court, and Wang Xuecheng's style of doing things is relatively strong, which has greatly affected the power in the hands of these people. And most importantly, as a spy agency of Daqian, the Coordination Office has a very developed intelligence network!

Therefore, as the director of the Coordination Office, Wang Xuecheng may have some leverage over certain people, just like his predecessor Huo San, which made the other party want to get rid of him!
Ye Mingsheng thought of these three possibilities, but he really didn't expect that Wang Xuecheng actually died of a love murder, and was killed because he had an affair with his subordinate's wife!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng, who was originally very sorry about Wang Xuecheng's death, also felt that Wang Xuecheng's death was not so regrettable!
But Ye Mingsheng changed his mind and felt that he had no right to blame Wang Xuecheng!

After all, it wasn't just Wang Xuecheng who had an affair with his subordinate's wife. He himself also had an affair with his subordinate's wife in Liaoyang. In the end, he even married Bai Yuanyuan back home in a dignified manner!
So what Wang Xuecheng is doing now can, in a sense, be regarded as a follow-up action!

Realizing this, Ye Mingsheng felt a little embarrassed, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed. He pondered for a moment and asked:
"How's the situation over at Ye Ling?"

Seeing Ye Mingsheng asking this, Ye Cheng considered his words and said:

“Although Sister Ling and Wang Xuecheng have separated, they have been married for so many years and still have deep feelings for each other. When Sister Ling knew that Wang Xuecheng was seriously injured and had received emergency treatment at the medical school, she rushed to the medical school as soon as possible…”

"After Wang Xuecheng died, Sister Ling also fainted from crying!"

Ye Mingsheng was also a little surprised when he heard this. Just like he didn't expect that Wang Xuecheng died of a love murder, Ye Mingsheng also didn't expect that Ye Ling loved Wang Xuecheng so deeply that she could still be so sad after knowing that Wang Xuecheng died of a love affair!

At this time Ye Cheng also continued:
"Your Majesty, although the Yijing government office immediately blocked the news after the incident yesterday, because the Zhao family was very angry last night, and it involved a sensitive figure like Director Wang, there are still some rumors outside now!"

Ye Mingsheng also had a headache after hearing this. Although he felt a little disgusted that Wang Xuecheng died because of a trick, Ye Mingsheng also knew that in the eyes of many people, Wang Xuecheng had always been his lackey!
Therefore, if others really knew that Wang Xuecheng died because of X, they would not only mock Wang Xuecheng, but also mock themselves, using this to attack themselves and say that they did not know how to judge people!

Therefore, for the sake of the court's reputation and your own reputation, it is better for you not to make the truth of the matter public!
Seeing Ye Mingsheng didn't speak, Ye Cheng hesitated and said tentatively:

"Your Majesty, you said that Zhao Zibo was demoted to Yongliang by Director Wang because he did something wrong, which made him unhappy, so he plotted to assassinate Director Wang?"

Hearing Ye Cheng say this, Ye Mingsheng pondered for a moment, and felt that there was no problem, so he immediately ordered:

"Your idea is good. I'll leave this matter to you, Ye Cheng!"

Ye Cheng also accepted the order upon hearing this:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I promise to handle this matter beautifully!"

After hearing Ye Cheng's assurance, Ye Mingsheng, who knew his abilities, felt much more at ease. He then waved his hand and Ye Cheng bowed and left.

After Ye Cheng left, Ye Mingsheng fell into deep thought. The death of Wang Xuecheng had come to an end. He should now think about some follow-up issues...
