Chapter 178: Old Things
The rest of the words, Murong Zhen couldn't tell Chen Zixiu in detail. But when he came to the emperor, he directly begged for grace to leave the palace tomorrow to visit relatives.
"Got it figured? I won't necessarily take you in this way. Gao Shenghan pulled the wool and dragged the pompom to tease the black cat, while talking casually.
Murong Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at it, quickly lowered his eyes, and said calmly: "The minister has something unclear, ask the emperor to explain." β
"Say."
"In the last years of Chengping, when the emperor first ascended the throne, why did he drown 28 river workers at Dakengkou." The new emperor's accession to the throne is a general amnesty for the world, and only this freak directly kills people for fun.
Gao Shenghan was stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Gonggong Deng. She didn't find it in her memory, and she had to ask for help.
Gonggong Deng glared at Murong Zhen suspiciously, approached the emperor and whispered: "...... Silver is not on the line. The Dakengkou river was diverted, the treasury allocated millions of silver to go down, and the water supervision and supervision department found that the earthwork and stone were not right when they inspected and inspected, and then traced that the silver actually used for river repair was less than sixty percent, and there was a serious sabotage and delay in the fortifications, and the supervisor went to the imperial ......
"I cut people down in a fit of rage?" Gao Shenghan screamed.
"No," Gonggong Deng caught the emperor, can you not vent your confidence, "The emperor will investigate in detail the officials involved in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Officials, and the three divisions of the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be tried, and the old Li Ge, the old Dong Pavilion, and the old Fuguo Gong will listen to and follow the case until it is over. β
"The result?" Gao Shenghan really didn't have any impression at all, presumably the original owner didn't rest assured about this. The last years of Chengping...... The emperor just burped before she came to power, what do you know? She was only fourteen at the time, right? It's not pro-government yet, is it?
Gonggong Deng pursed his lips.
The results speak for themselves. That's what Murong Zhen said.
Gao Shenghan was shocked!
Twenty-eight! Drowning!
"This is your motivation for entering the palace?" Gao Shenghan stiffened his face and drove the briquettes away.
"The minister just admires the emperor's demeanor, and has no other thoughts." Murong is really stupid to tell the truth. His friend was innocently implicated in that disaster, and the drowning verdict was approved by the emperor himself, saying that it was to sacrifice to the river god to appease the anger of the river god. After that, due to the shortage of silver, the new river channel was not re-excavated and has been abandoned. Hatefully, it seemed to confirm the absurd claim that the sacrifice could appease the wrath of the river god, and in the following years, there was indeed no more flooding at the mouth of the big pit.
Gao Shenghan waved his hand and waved away Gonggong Deng. With her hands behind her back, she slowly paced to Murong Zhen's side, circled around him for half a circle, and suddenly leaned close to him and whispered, "You like men?" β
Murong is really cold, and his hair stands on end!
"The Emperor's ......"
"Chen Zixiu is very cute."
ββ¦β¦β
"He's stupid and naΓ―ve."
Murong Zhen decided not to say anything.
"How is Shen Yifei? You don't like his type? Or Qin Feng like this? I've heard you've slept together. Actually, it's fun to stay in the back garden, right? Convenient for all kinds of ...... Well, I mean that I don't really care about each other when you're lonely. β
"Your Majesty, it's not too early, for the sake of the emperor's health, the minister will retire." Murong Zhen was worried that if he stayed any longer, he couldn't help but break the neck of this shameless and unbounded goods.
"Go, go, go!" Gao Shenghan waved his hand impatiently, watching him retreat to the door and open the door to step out, and said again, "Remember to come back often!" When I miss you, I can't find you, and you'll talk to your little brother at night. β
Murong Zhen paused, lowered his head, said good night again, and respectfully retreated.
Grandpa Deng waited for people to walk away before he came in slowly, picked up the fluff balls and toys that the briquettes had discarded, and sorted them one by one. Then he waited for the emperor to wash and change clothes, wash and sleep.
"Old Deng," Gao Shenghan closed his eyes for a long time without feeling sleepy, and then opened his eyes and stared at the top of the black tent, "Let's be honest with me." Where did the money go in Da Kengkou. β
Gonggong Deng hesitated for a moment, and told the truth: "At that time, the emperor died, and the mausoleum was not completed......
Gao Shenghan grinned, wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Embezzlement of public funds for a dead man, but he didn't want to lose the emperor's face and lose the credit of the court, the officials below were worried that the river was not repaired and Zuihou would be responsible, so they deliberately delayed, and waited for the officials who did not know what to do to inspect and found that it was wrong, and they came up to participate, and the inexperienced ones threw things to Dali Temple according to the process......
Gao Shenghan looked at the five-clawed golden dragon with embroidered gold thread looming on the top, and his heart was bitter.
There is no money to repair the river, but there is money to hold a grand funeral for the emperor and his own enthronement ceremony.
No matter how the people lean back, the face of the royal family and the face of the court are the most important things.
Gao Shenghan turned over, thought silently, and said in a low voice: "Find a time to make a dojo for those people." β
Father-in-law Deng agreed. Gao Shenghan said again: "Check the list of the deceased to see if there is a ......" has something to do with Murong Zhen.
Gonggong Deng waited for a while and didn't follow, thinking that the emperor was asleep, so he tiptoed up, folded the quilt for the emperor, and walked around to see what was wrong, closed the window and closed the door, and then turned around and slept with his clothes in front of his feet.
Gao Shenghan closed his eyes, slowed his breathing and thought about his thoughts.
Murong Zhen's ambiguous attitude towards Chen Zixiu was discovered not long ago. It was during the time when Chen Zixiu came back from Qilu.
However, more often than not, it seems that he is looking at another person through Chen Zixiu.
So many people in the back garden didn't notice it, even Gonggong Deng and Gonggong Gao didn't notice it, she just observed it for a while and felt something else. That's why I frequently looked for Chen Zixiu to show affection. It turned out that Chen Zixiu seemed to have let go of psychological pressure, and he was not too reluctant to fool around with himself, and his relationship with Murong was really a normal young man's interaction. It's just Murong Zhen who has the problem.
That's why she tested Murong Zhen. Starting from the investigation of his family, he knew his father's official inauguration process, knew that he had a favorite little brother, and knew that since he opened the library, he had read the most cases of river and water affairs, as well as trivial things. However, she never expected that Murong Zhen would question what happened before she crossed over.
In the side hall of Zhenlong Palace, Murong Zhen took care of his sundries.
In fact, there are not much, just a few changes of clothes, a few objects rewarded by the emperor.
There is a lake-blue fan sleeve embroidered with orchids and kingfishers in the clothes, it looks like it has been some years, the corners are a little brushed, but it is very clean, and the knots on the fan cover are newly braided, and the old ones have been worn out.
Murong Zhen looked at the fan cover, a little stunned.
Qingzhou, Anwangfu.
"Childe, a letter from the capital."
Wang Zicong took the letter handed by the attendant, opened the envelope, opened the folded letter and read it quickly, and a sneer hung on his lips.
"Overestimating his attachment to me."
