Anti-Corruption Operations (5)
www.biquge.info After Chen Ding woke up, the ministers looked at Chen Ding speechlessly, wanting to know what Chen Ding would do next, Chen Ding stretched his waist and said slowly: "Is it time for dinner?" β
"Poof" The ministers were shocked, and complained that Nandi was not perfunctory? But no one dared to show their true hearts, and even a few officials who were good at flattery hurriedly said: "Yes, Nandi is tired, let's rest."
The other courtiers who had been robbed of the limelight threw contemptuous glances at the official
Chen Ding smiled and said: "It's a little tired"
The ministers despised Chen Ding, the Southern Emperor clearly slept all afternoon, and they stood on top of the main hall and stood stupidly all afternoon, who was tired?
Chen Ding looked at the ministers and said, "Oh! Are you telling me about the prime minister?"
The courtiers hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, Nandi has made the entire imperial capital restless, is Nandi ready to suspend his position?" β
"Unloading? Why! He did this with my permission," Chen Ding looked at the ministers suspiciously
"What?"
"Ahh
... The shocked expressions of the ministers met Chen Ding's eyes
Chen Ding said slowly: "You may not know the reason, well, I can understand this, I said before, for corruption, I am not to blame in the past, but now I will tell you something"
The ministers looked at Chen Ding, and Chen Ding sighed and said, "Beichen destroyed the Benyang Kingdom a year ago, right?"
The ministers nodded, "Since everyone remembers it, it's much easier to say, I set up a Beichen Zhuji Mansion for Benyang in order to stabilize Benyang after the war, I remember that I just gave Beichen Jifu 10 million taels of silver every year, Hubu Shangshu has been caught, isn't it, that Hubu Shilang, don't you say?" β
The ministers looked at the two household servants, and the waiters pursed their lips and trembled: "Yes"
Chen Ding sneered and said: "Beichen has never received a penny from me, 30,000 Beichen disciples!" Without a penny of supplies, how can they survive in Benyang, where there are still enemies? You officials who took this money, what kind of peace do you have? β
Several officials in the palace were worried, Chen Ding breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter will not be easy to pass, I will investigate this matter thoroughly to the end."
Chen Ding stood up after saying that, waved his hand and said: "If there is nothing to do, go down to the court, and when the prime minister finds out to your house, cooperate more, I gave him a token to cut first and then give it, in case I accidentally cut the wrong person, even if I Chen Ding wants to save your pillars, but unfortunately it is beyond the whip to reach " Chen Ding said very plainly, but the tone of the warning is still very strong, and the ministers also have a bottom in their hearts, and they have closed their mouths, they now know, The Southern Emperor is iron-hearted to prepare to rectify the government, and then dissuasion is tantamount to looking for death, the Beichen Empire is all established by Chen Ding, and the political opinions should make these courtiers in the palace dare not compare with Chen Ding, plus Chen Ding's domineering royal atmosphere, moody character, military attachΓ©s respect Chen Ding, and civil officials are afraid of Chen Ding, so the discussion of general political opinions is nothing more than to inform Chen Ding of some possible consequences, and the final decision is made by the prime minister and Chen Ding
Just as everyone was about to disperse and leave, suddenly a servant shouted loudly outside the door: "Zuo Yunqiu, left forward to meet the Southern Emperor"
βοΌβ Chen Ding looked out of the door suspiciously, and the corners of the ministers' mouths suddenly showed a smile, and they looked at each other and nodded
"Let him in," Chen Ding said
Zuo Yunqiu walked up to the hall quickly, put his hands on his chest, knelt down on one knee and said: "Minister, Zuo Yunqiu knocks on the Southern Emperor, and wishes the Southern Emperor to dominate the industry for a thousand years."
Chen Ding shook his head and said, "Yun Qiu, you learned these rules from poisonous charmers!" You and I don't need so much courtesy, you say, why are you coming to me? β
Zuo Yunqiu said: "Tell the Southern Emperor that the prime minister led Chenxiong's five hundred men and horses to surround all the ministers' mansions, and not only that, but they actually began to turn over the courtiers' courtyards."
"Oh!" Chen Ding was not very surprised, he replied very calmly, Zuo Yunqiu was very puzzled when he saw Chen Ding's calm appearance, and continued: "The prime minister will churn the minister's mansion together, put these aside, and he is very unfriendly to the old sect master of the Poison Sect, the old sect master has been in poor health recently, and now he is even more angry."
Chen Ding frowned and said, "What? What is the old sect master doing in your mansion? β
"Emperor Nan, the old sect master wanted Mo Mei to come over and take a look, but who knew that it was just in time for this matter," Zuo Yunqiu said
Chen Ding frowned, pursed his lips and said, "Did the prime minister find anything in your mansion?" β
"No," Zuo Yunqiu didn't want to reply directly
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, it's just to find out some belongings brought by the old sect master, the prime minister has to insist that the minister is corrupt, I think he has been unscrupulous for his own political achievements recently," Zuo Yunqiu said
"That's right, Nandi, Prime Minister, he has recently used despicable means for his own status and in order to be able to show himself in front of you, Nandi, you have to curb it!" The courtiers chimed in
Chen Ding glared at the other courtiers, and said in a flat tone: "I'll go to see the old sect master these days, as for the matter of the prime minister, I will learn carefully, if it is really as you said, I can remove him from his position and exile him to death, but if Zuo Yunqiu is here, you!" You dare to lie to me, don't blame me for not telling the old feelings, you are slandering the loyal ministers of the court and ruining the pillars of the court, you have to think clearly about this result"
Zuo Yunqiu nodded fiercely and said, "I know"
Chen Ding nodded and said, "The others should step aside, Yun Qiu, you can stay and have dinner with me."
After everyone left, Chen Ding walked to Zuo Yunqiu's side, a faint fragrance came from Zuo Yunqiu's side into Chen Ding's nostrils, Chen Ding frowned, looked at Zuo Yunqiu with a sluggish expression, snorted coldly, and walked out of the hall quickly
On the dinner, the delicacies were displayed on the table, Chen Ding sat in the middle, Nier was by his side, Chen Lu sat next to Nier, Zuo Yunqiu sat directly opposite Chen Ding sluggishly, without saying a word, Chen Lu's eyes couldn't help but drift to Zuo Yunqiu's cheeks, and Zuo Yunqiu had never looked at Chen Lu since the beginning of the dinner, Chen Ding said lightly: "Don't look at him, he is no longer Zuo Yunqiu, he is poisoned"
Zuo Yunqiu raised his head, Chen Lu looked at Chen Ding in shock, Nier put down her dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Chen Ding in confusion, Chen Ding slowly lifted his eyes to look at Zuo Yunqiu, Zuo Yunqiu's eyes looked at Chen Ding, the corners of Chen Ding's mouth rose: "I really don't know that Mo Mei can do this, and actually use ecstasy incense to control you for so long, is this kind of love interesting?" β
Chen Lu looked at Zuo Yunqiu, his wrist trembled a little, he wanted to say something, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips and stopped talking, he was not the original him, and he was not the original self, so it seemed that he and Zuo Yunqiu really had nothing to say...
