Chapter 132: Accepting Bribes
Others didn't know how much Mu Chenghuang helped Shen Ke behind his back, and the discussion became more and more deviated, and the noble girl and the official woman who had just suppressed their temperament began to say that this Mu Chenghuang actually took someone else's favor as a congratulatory gift, and it was really shameless.

Zhao Yu saw that his stone really stirred up a thousand waves, so he retracted his body very satisfied, glanced at Zhao Meiren, and smiled.
In this situation, Mu Chenghuang should have been embarrassed, she was also very calm, Shen Ke heard this, just ordered Peony to say something, Peony came around from the outer seat, and said something in Mu Chenghuang's ear, Empress Dowager Pei looked at the movement here, and didn't ask much, just waited for Peony to go back, and then asked: "This maid is so familiar, but the Shen family's girl's personal maidservant?"
When Shen Ke showed the final design manuscript to Empress Dowager Pei for a few days, Peony also entered the palace with her, and it was not surprising that Empress Dowager Pei recognized it.
"Yes," Mu Chenghuang said smoothly, "just tell me a little thing." β
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Pei raised her voice slightly.
"After the banquet, I will talk about my shareholding in detail. β
"Shares?" the eldest princess pretended to be surprised cooperatively, "Could it be that you are still the eldest proprietor of the Shen family, Fifth Emperor Sister?"
"No," Mu Chenghuang said with a smile, "It's just a little bit of effort." β
Empress Dowager Pei also raised her body back slightly, as if she was impressed by the fifth princess, only to hear Mu Chenghuang's faint voice say: "Give the Queen Mother this string of white jade Buddha beads, with Mu Chenghuang's current ability, it is indeed unaffordable, Chenghuang took his ten years of dividends in the Shen family to offset it, and asked Miss Shen to help take it from the treasure meeting." β
Zhao Yu suddenly smiled and said: "I remember that this white jade Buddha bead was auctioned at a very behappable price at that time, 88.88 million yuan, it really didn't arrive first, this is actually just the fifth princess's ten-year dividend, it seems that the benefits that the fifth princess got from the Shen family before this are really a lot." β
Zhao Yu's words are very obviously aimed at Mu Chenghuang, Mu Chenghuang is most famous in the palace is that he has a bad temper, and the second famous is that he is poor, especially if the concubine died, Xiang moved back to Jiangnan, although the old lady of the Xiang family, Mu Chenghuang's grandmother still remembers Mu Chenghuang in the palace very much, and people will always bring something into the palace during the New Year's holidays, but after all, the mountain is high and the road is far away, and the old lady never thought that her granddaughter, the emperor's daughter, was bullied by the best sister of the mother concubine before her mother's death to the point that she didn't even have good food, so the servants brought it from Jiangnan were also some snacks that Mu Chenghuang loved to eat when he was a child, or artemisia vegetable cake and other authentic Jiangnan food, which cannot be eaten in the capital.
Every time Mu Chenghuang receives such a thing, he always wants to cry without tears, grandma, grandma, the silver carp you sent is very fresh, and the artemisia vegetable cake is also very delicious, but the granddaughter's small kitchen here is useless, and even the charcoal fire is detained, and the artemisia vegetable cake is delicious, but she is not full, can you send two big steamed buns to your granddaughter? Your granddaughter is hungry.
Even though he complained bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say half a bad thing about the reply to the servant, his grandmother was different from other women, especially like girls, but he had no choice but to give birth to six sons in one go, and the son gave birth to a litter of sons, and finally he was nearly forty years old before he got such a baby girl as his mother.
The death of the mother concubine was a big blow to herself, but for her grandmother, the blow was even greater, when the concubine was selected to become a concubine in the palace, the grandmother was afraid that the concubine would not have a care in the capital, so she moved to the capital with the two brothers of the concubine, and let the mother concubine a brother who was originally a magistrate in Jiangnan apply for an order, and entrusted a lot of relationships, so he was transferred to the capital with great difficulty, as if this family was the star of Gongyue, and it was precisely because of this that after the death of the concubine, the grandmother really did not want to stay in the sad place of the capital, so the family moved back to Jiangnan, so Mu Chenghuang, who had no support in Beijing, began to live an authentic poor life for half a yearγ
There is no concubine, there are so many cases in the palace, and there is no timely protection from the family, in the eyes of others, Mu Chenghuang is poor and miserable, but now he actually knows that Mu Chenghuang can get so much silver just by dividending, and he can't help but blush.
Zhao Yu looked at Mu Chenghuang proudly, the person who dared to threaten his sister, he wanted to let out this evil breath, Mu Chenghuang also looked at him and laughed, no, why did Mu Chenghuang laugh, isn't she embarrassed now, this smile made Zhao Yu's goosebumps rise layer after layer.
"Probably, it's because the palace solved a troublesome matter for Miss Shen, so Miss Shen only let me join the shares a while ago, and the proportion of this share is relatively high. β
Zhao Yu's eyebrows twitched, and he felt that he had fallen into Mu Chenghuang's trap, Mu Chenghuang turned back to the Empress Dowager Pei and Mu Yuanan, and put this palace jewelry bidding meeting in 1510, how did the Qian family bribe the presiding official to remove Shen Ke's name from it, the Shen family is Dashun's jewelry everyone, this bidding, you will understand it with your toes, there will definitely be Shen Ke's name.
However, Mu Chenghuang didn't say that he used some unsavory information and Zhao Meiren to exchange this opportunity for Shen Ke, but just said that he told Zhao Meiren, and Zhao Meiren also felt that this matter was too much, so he wrote a letter to his brother Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu suddenly changed from a person who deliberately provoked trouble to a person who presided over justice, he was very embarrassed, after all, his previous performance was tense with Mu Chenghuang, and although the money bribed by the money shopkeeper did not come to him, it was all used to honor Kang Fushou, the internal servant of the Inner Servant Province, and Kang Fushou was Concubine Xi's person, and with Concubine Xi supporting her in the palace, even if she knew, she couldn't say anything.
Mu Chenghuang has always only said that the money shopkeeper bribed, but did not say who the bribe was given, although she didn't want Kang Fushou to escape from the beginning, but it was not her style to mention people's names, and this kind of despicable person, she prefers to play yin.
This bidding meeting was hosted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the six ministries sent officials to cooperate, and it was related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so it was inevitable that Kang Fushou would not be able to escape, Mu Yuanan's heart was already very clear, corruption and bribery were a major crime in this dynasty, and this historical tragedy was not a joke.
Concubine Xi saw that Mu Chenghuang intended to say that her people had accepted bribes, and immediately put on an angry look: "This is really, Kang Fushou is also an old man in the province, how is this a thing, he even forgot to add the name of Miss Shen, and now it is easy to change what he did wrong, but this crime of accepting bribes, there is no physical evidence and no witness, so he was convicted in a hurry, the emperor, I am afraid that it will cool the hearts of these old people in the palace." β
"Who said there is no evidence?" Mu Chenghuang lowered his head and smiled, then looked at the Empress Dowager Pei and said, "It's just that today is the Queen Mother's banquet, and it is always inappropriate to discuss other things here. β
Mu Chenghuang didn't say whether the evidence was here or Shen Ke's, or that it wasn't on these two people at all, which told Concubine Xi that Concubine Xi didn't even have a chance to attack the evidence.
Concubine Xi felt a little uneasy in her heart, after all, she didn't know how crucial the evidence Mu Chenghuang said, but she couldn't make any moves, Kang Fushou was promoted when she was in charge of the phoenix seal, this is known to everyone, she has already said a word for him, and she can't be so obviously protective.
"Evidence is naturally the best, the atmosphere in this palace is also to be regulated, after all, Cheng Huang and Cheng Qing were still inexperienced before, and many things were not handled well enough, not to mention that the concubine was laughing, this is just a lot of people who come to the concubine to vomit bitterness. "Since it can't go all the way, Concubine Xi just wants to take the opportunity to remind the emperor that now the eldest princess is going to get married, and Empress Dowager Pei's body has not been very comfortable, so she can't seriously hand over the affairs of the six palaces to a yellow-haired girl like Mu Chenghuang.
Mu Yuan Anxin had a plan, but he didn't like Concubine Xi's hint, so he just said: "Since there is evidence, I will definitely not spare this matter, and I will definitely reward and punish clearly." Fu said to the Empress Dowager Pei a little apologetically: "Before I came, I promised the Empress Dowager that I would not talk about official business at the birthday banquet, and now that the sons and daughters have made an exception, I hope the Empress Dowager will forgive me." β
Empress Dowager Pei has always been generous, but she just nodded and said: "It's not a business, this supplier of palace jewelry is also a matter of the palace." β
Although this matter is indeed a little inconsistent with the atmosphere of today's banquet, but fortunately, it is only the nearest seat that is being discussed, and the people in the middle and outer seats cannot hear it, and they still drink and talk happily.
Zhao Yu saw that the situation was not as he expected at all, he just swallowed a sip of warm tea, although he was a foreign minister, he was also the brother of the palace concubine Zhao Meiren, plus he had made achievements before, this time he was **** with Zhao Meiren sitting on the seat, Zhao Meiren saw Zhao Yu beside him a little impatient, and just whispered: "My brother really can't speak, but this makes the fifth princess please." β
He can't speak? How else is he going to speak?
Zhao Yu said a little angrily: "It was you who begged me to add my name, and before I came, I deliberately shook out that the white jade Buddha beads are worth a lot of money The person is also you, no matter how you say it, you are right, the person who does the work is me, and the person who is scolded is also me, you have such a temperament, no wonder people have caught the handle in the palace." β
"What is a handle?" Zhao Meiren was about to cry angrily, if it weren't for her brother who had always loved her the most, how could she make requests like this, my brother had never said anything bad about himself, why did he become an official now, and people have changed, "Is it easy for me to be in the palace sister? Brother doesn't help much, do you hope that my sister will enter the cold palace in the future, and my brother will be happy." β...
