479. Impeachment
Emperor Wen closed the fold in his hand, looked at the expression of the minister in the palace with half-squinted eyes, and his face was covered with frost.
"I sent Li Fei to Fujian to thoroughly investigate the case of embezzlement of ink that the fourth child found before, what do you think he said to me?"
Judging from the expression on the emperor's face, Liang Xingyong knew that what was written in the fold was by no means a good thing, he shrank his head and did not dare to step forward to speak.
The courtiers of the first hall of the Qianyuan Hall looked at each other a few times, and when they saw that the first assistant was silent, most of them also shrank their heads and did not say a word.
Xie Ningyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, glanced at the ministers, frowned, stepped forward and asked, "Lord Li has found out the clues in the Fujian case?"
Emperor Wen glanced at him, "Li Fei impeached the two of them for not seeking their jobs in their positions, and allowed the victims of the disaster in Fujian to wander and harm the township," After a pause at this, those cold eyes stared at Xie Ningyuan, laughed, and sighed a little in his tone, "Xie Aiqing, do you know who he impeached?"
Xie Ningyuan can also be regarded as the patriarch of the three dynasties in the court, although the official position has been promoted and lowered, but it is really lacking, especially knowing the temperament of this emperor, knowing that he is showing such a look at the moment, then this matter must be related to himself.
Xie Ning bowed to the end and replied: "The old minister doesn't know, but no matter who it is, if it is dereliction of duty and disaster to the government, it cannot be tolerated!"
Emperor Wen smiled, he had always known the temperament of his courtier, so he simply said: "It's no one else, it's your eldest son Xie Jianning and your grandson Xia Mingche." ”
As soon as the words fell, Xia Shijing, who was also in the hall, felt a thunderbolt hit his head on the sunny day, and he couldn't stop dizzying.
How...... How could it be the second son?
The second son has always been smart, and he is also a new Tanhualang, and the epidemic has just recovered, why was he impeached in the blink of an eye?
He opened his eyes wide, stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there must be something inside to this matter, the courtiers have always been loyal and patriotic, and a few days ago they worked hard in office and contracted the epidemic, which is getting better, how can you do such a thing, please ask the emperor to investigate!"
Xie Yanning, who was standing on the side, frowned and glanced at him, this Xia Shijing was not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he jumped out at this time, and he didn't have any brains at all.
If the emperor really believed Li Fei's impeachment, he was afraid that he would not be so calm, he was simply provoking the emperor.
He hurriedly gave Xia Shijing a look to signal him to shut up, and said to the emperor in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't know what evidence Lord Li has for impeaching Lord Xie and Lord Xia?"
Emperor Wen didn't look at Xia Shijing, glanced at Xie Yanning lightly, and said: "Li Fei said in the excerpt that a large number of victims of the disaster in Fujian have flowed in large numbers, and Xie Jianning has not taken care of it, but has been checking the disaster situation on the river embankment and the coast, and Xia Mingche should have managed the river, but he checked the old accounts deposited in the river over the years, and the two of them saw the victims starving, but they have not done anything," Speaking of this, Emperor Wen sighed," Where is he impeaching the two of them, he is asking me for disaster relief food, Liang Xingyong, you are the head of the household department, you come to talk to me, how to resettle so many disaster victims in Fujian?"
The emperor directly threw the problem to Liang Xingyong, making Liang Xingyong's head break out in a cold sweat, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, last year was not a good year, several large granaries in Yanzhou and Dingzhou were sent down as military food, and now the grain for disaster relief is really a little nervous, and the minister has gathered some rice grain from the granaries of Yunzhou and Ningzhou, and now it has been allocated, and the problem in Fujian will be alleviated after the rice grain arrives, you don't have to worry too much." ”
The corners of the emperor's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, Liang Xingyong is used to saying beautiful words, and many things can be rounded back after his hands, which is also where he likes Liang Xingyong, so he will mention him as the first assistant, but now Liang Xingyong's tactfulness is extremely disgusting to him.
He said coldly: "It is said that I am the Ninety-Five, I am the Son of Heaven, and this world is my people, but I can only sit here and watch the people of Fujian be displaced, and my courtiers will only say to me that there is no need to worry, if you are replaced by the victims of the disaster in Fujian, are you willing to listen to those words of Fang Cai?"
The emperor suddenly attacked, and the entire Qianyuan Hall was silent, and no one dared to speak out, for fear of provoking Long Yan's anger.
The emperor looked coldly at the courtiers in the first hall and refused to make a sound, slowly stood up, and said in a deep voice: "There was a Wei clan disaster in my country first, and now there is such a natural disaster in Fujian, I am the son of heaven, if I let my people be displaced, what else will I do!"
The loud words made the courtiers unable to stop their cold sweat, and they didn't know what the emperor was going to do.
"Spread my will, all the officials of the DPRK and China will be reduced by half for this three months, and handed over to the household department, which will be used as disaster relief food.
The final word was reached, and almost all the officials were punished. His Royal Highness's ministers dare not speak out, and they can only swallow their own bitterness in their hearts.
I heard the emperor say again: "From today on, all my daily living expenses will be reduced, and the expenses in the harem except for the queen mother's palace will be halved." ”
This is to lead by example, and the ministers in this palace have nothing to say, even the emperor himself has deducted his own example, can he still say a word as a courtier?
A court meeting dispersed, and several pavilion elders stood under the eaves of the corridor outside the upper study, looked at each other a few times, sighed, and didn't know where the emperor's temper would burn.
……
When Chanyi woke up, the sky was already bright, and there was a cool breeze blowing in through the window in the early morning of summer, which made people feel comfortable.
She rubbed her eyes and looked to the side, sure enough, the side of the bed was empty, Chu Shaoyuan got up early in the morning, but he didn't wake her up.
She sighed, she couldn't help but sleep too deeply, when she married Jian Anjie in her previous life, she always called Jian Anjie to get up, but she didn't expect that in this life she would be able to sleep until she woke up naturally, and she was really much more comfortable without her mother-in-law.
She smiled wryly and shook her head, got up and called Jinping, Jinse, and Jinxin to come in.
The maid who accompanied the marriage brought the two big maids beside her, plus a second-class maid Xiaolan and Qingyue, who was waiting by Chu Shaoyuan's side before, and Jinxin, a total of five maids.
After Jinping and Jin Se served Chan Yi and washed, Jin Xin stepped forward and said: "The prince said that he still needs two teas to spare, and if the princess is hungry, she will set breakfast first." ”
Chanyi said with a smile: "What's the point of eating alone, it's strange, you will clean up the things you want to take today, and when the prince comes back, you will directly set the meal, you don't have to be confined here." ”
The maids retreated, Chanyi gently pushed open the window, and the scenery of the entire blue lake was taken into view.
On the edge of Bihu Lake, Chu Shaoyuan was driving wooden stakes, and his short outfit highlighted his majestic physique even stronger, making Chanyi secretly speechless, no wonder he was hugged to sleep at night, and felt that the hardness on his body was not soft at all, it turned out to be practiced like this.
