The gate of the imperial city opened on time, and the courtiers waited in front of the Chongxing gate, waiting for the emperor to summon them.

When Zhao Yuande went to deliver the decree, there were many ministers who were whispering with a fold in their hands, and when they heard this will, they all showed a look of surprise.

Liang Xingyong, the first assistant of the cabinet, couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Gonggong Zhao, is the emperor unwell?" ”

The only thing he thought of was that Emperor Wen was not in good health, so he would dismiss the early dynasty today and change it to a partial hall discussion, after all, this was the first time that Emperor Wen had removed the early dynasty since he took power, and even if Concubine Chen passed away, it was only half an hour late.

Zhao Yuande shook his head, with a taboo and unpredictable expression, which made Liang Xingyong's heart feel more uneasy, and he wanted to ask again, but Zhao Yuande turned around and said to the courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, please." ”

Refusing to talk, Liang Xingyong frowned, and it was not good to say anything more.

When the courtiers all arrived at the side hall, Emperor Wen asked Zhao Yuande to pass a few elders into the study room.

Liang Xingyong saw at a glance that Chu Shaoyuan, Prince of An, and Chu Shaohan, King of Yijun, were standing quietly beside the emperor, his heart was beating, and he vaguely understood why the emperor would depose the early dynasty today, it must be that the third prince and the fourth prince had a dispute over Fujian, and the emperor would be so embarrassed.

After the courtiers saluted, Emperor Wen raised his head and glanced at Liang Xingyong, his clear eyes were full of red silk, and he looked extremely tired, which made Liang Xingyong's heart more and more uneasy, but he didn't dare to show half a point, for fear that Emperor Wen would not like it, so he saw Emperor Wen suddenly raise his hand, and an account book on the table was thrown directly under his feet, accompanied by Emperor Wen's faint and lonely voice, which made Liang Xingyong's heart feel more and more uneasy.

"I remember that Aiqing has been in charge of the household department for many years, can you explain to me that what is recorded in this booklet is true?"

Liang Xingyong was terrified, and hurriedly bent down to pick up the booklet, and only after reading a few pages, he couldn't restrain his legs and seemed to kneel in front of Emperor Wen, "Your Majesty, this booklet, this is not a ......" He opened his mouth to argue, but the discrepancies of every account on the booklet were very clear, and even at a glance, he had only one thought in his heart, the emperor was going to settle accounts after the autumn!

He simply has suffering in his heart, these things he clearly did under the instruction of Emperor Wen, Emperor Wen has always connived at Qin Bohou, so he will naturally take more care of Qin Bohou, which is embodied in the discrepancies in these account books, he has always thought that the emperor's attitude towards Qin Bohou's greed for ink is a little ambiguous, he dared to do this, could it be that he guessed the wrong intention of Emperor Wen from the beginning?

Liang Xingyong couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he only felt that he was very wronged, and he was unwilling to rush up, he opened his mouth to plead: "Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, these accounts have always come according to the old practice, Fujian has often been invaded by Japanese invaders over the years, and there are wars in Fujian almost every year, these things are all things that the ministers dare to send documents after you order......

"So, it's me, isn't it?" Emperor Wen sneered and interrupted him, "The Japanese invade every year, and I also send rice, grain, money and goods to Fujian every year, this is true, but I have said that you Liang Xingyong will give these rice, grain, money and goods to Fujian by two or three times?" I really have a group of good courtiers, and I know how to solve problems for me! ”

Liang Xingyong only felt that his mouth was very bitter, when he usually distributed rice, grain, money and goods like this, why didn't the emperor mention it at all, but he wanted to make such a big move this year? Could it be that the emperor was dissatisfied with him and wanted to remove him from the position of first assistant? As soon as he raised his head, he saw the angry Emperor Wen, who was staring at him with a cold look at him at this time, which made him panic in his heart, and stepped forward on his knees, his voice was even more trembling, "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister does not know about it, although this official document is approved by the minister, but the specific number is not set by the minister......

Such an excuse made several cabinet elders present a little embarrassed, Liang Xingyong was really too bold and shameless, the emperor had already expressed his attitude, Liang Xingyong still dared to make excuses, was he really not afraid of the emperor's guilt? If he justified it like this, it was better to simply admit it, so that the emperor would not be too angry, so that he could save his life.

Emperor Wen couldn't help but sneer, he couldn't push it and planted it on his subordinates, how did Liang Xingyong be chosen by him before?

It's just that he won't move Liang Xingyong now, because the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are more important, he thought, asked Zhao Yuande to hand another booklet to the other courtiers in the room to look through, and said in a deep voice: "You all see, my Dayan's Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, the two most important yamen, actually hide such a big case of embezzlement of ink, it really makes me feel sad, I have always been a person who is strict with myself and lenient with others, but I didn't expect that my tolerance will make these moths grow bolder day by day, and I Dayan will live like this for a few more years, Isn't it about to be hollowed out? ”

The account book was flipped through among the courtiers, and everyone who read it couldn't help but show a shocked look on their faces, no wonder the emperor wanted to investigate Qin Bohou, just with the amount of ink he had been greedy for ink in the past ten years, it was enough for him to be killed dozens of times with a thousand knives.

At this time, Yan Yunwei commanded Feng Ming to come in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has caught the assassin, what do you think should be done?" ”

Chu Shaoyuan had been standing silently in the study, and at this time he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, he really didn't expect that Qin Bohou would have such a ability, to be able to insert eyeliner in the palace, and almost endanger the safety of his father, so there was Yan Yunwei in the palace to guard the entire imperial city like an iron bucket, even if such a mistake occurred, he would be able to capture people alive within a few hours, and then it would depend on who this assassin would spit out.

Emperor Wen nodded, "Hand over the person to the Criminal Department," and then said to Shen Wei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, "Give me a good trial of him, I want to see who gave him the courage to kill people in the palace, and he didn't even take me in his eyes at all!" ”

Shen Wei was in charge of handling the large and small cases of the Criminal Department as the secretary of the Criminal Department, and when he heard Emperor Wen's order at this time, he almost immediately understood what this person had committed in the palace before, he quickly nodded and responded, his mind moved slightly, this assassin He was basically able to determine who it was.

When the elders heard this, they knew that the emperor had brought them in, but it was actually because assassins had been mixed in the forbidden palace and killed people, which was also incredible, what kind of person was so bold, did he not want to die or did not want to live? A few cautious people immediately went to see Chu Shaoyuan and Chu Shaohan, thinking, could it be that the two princes were hurt?

Chu Shaoyuan's face was cold and lonely at this time, and he added a face that was originally five points similar to Emperor Wen to seven points, but Chu Shaohan was a little absent-minded at this time, his eyes were wandering and looking at a room full of courtiers, with some looseness in his eyes, neither as cold as Chu Shaoyuan, nor as angry as Emperor Wen, as if everything in this room had nothing to do with him, as if he was a little careless.

Having said that, Emperor Wen was also a little unable to hold on, stayed up all night, and finally caught the assassin, at least he could sleep peacefully today, he waved his hand, "You all retreat, don't stay up all the time, go back to the palace to sleep, the third come with me," he said and glanced at Liang Xingyong lightly, "Liang Aiqing is here to reflect and reflect." ”

After Emperor Wen finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the inner hall, and clearly punished Liang Xingyong for kneeling, Liang Xingyong endured the pain from his knees, and kowtowed respectfully to Emperor Wen to thank him.

Chu Shaoyuan didn't know what Emperor Wen had called him, so he hurriedly followed, and when he passed by Liang Xingyong's side, he glanced at him lightly, Liang Xingyong, the head of the household, was really competent, if it weren't for Xia Mingche who knew how to make a detour, he was afraid that he would have to escape.

Liang Xingyong noticed Chu Shaoyuan's gaze, he didn't know how the account book of the household department got into the hands of Emperor Wen, at this time, seeing Chu Shaoyuan's eyes with a little contempt, he suddenly realized in his heart, followed by great hatred, hating Chu Shaoyuan is troublesome, but he still has to pretend to be respectful on his face, and he has to salute Chu Shaoyuan to leave, for a while, his heart was almost angry as if he had been stabbed a few times, and he couldn't breathe.

Chu Shaoyuan paid so much attention to what he was thinking, and followed Emperor Wen all the way to the inner hall.

Emperor Wen rubbed his eyebrows on the couch, he was not young after all, he was tired after staying up all night, he exhaled softly, went to look at Chu Shaoyuan, and found that his clear eyes that looked like himself were still very energetic, and he was relieved and beckoned to him.

"Yishu, do you know why I left you alone?"

Chu Shaoyuan shook his head: "The son doesn't know, the son guesses that the father is going to tell his son something." ”

Emperor Wen nodded, "Chen Jing did help me back then, I was embarrassed by my face, I always thought that as long as he didn't do too much, I could endure it, but I didn't expect him to be so dissatisfied, I once warned him, but unfortunately he was stubborn, I knew that this matter was just the beginning, with his temperament, he would not give in so easily." ”

Chu Shaoyuan had never been to Fujian, but according to the news brought back by Ming Yanlou and the letterhead written by Xia Mingche, he learned that Qin Bohou had a high reputation in Fujian, and he was the chief soldier of Fujian.

He hurriedly said: "Father, is it good for that son to go to Fujian and bring Qin Bohou back?" ”

Emperor Wen also had this intention, he said in a deep voice: "This matter must be kept secret, since you have entered the palace, and there are assassins in the palace, I will not be conspicuous if I keep you in the palace these days." ”

Chu Shaoyuan nodded, thinking that he hadn't gone home overnight, and now he had to go to Fujian, and he wouldn't be able to come back in ten days and a half, and Wanzhao would definitely be anxious, so he asked tentatively: "That son ordered someone to go home and get some daily things into the palace, and also settle down at home by the way." ”

Emperor Wen thought that he had only been newly married for a long time, and shook his head with a smile, "Go and command, your daughter-in-law in the province will not be able to sleep and eat at home." ”
