The next day, Chengyou put on his court clothes and came to the court, and reported the disaster relief to Xi Ze, Xi Ze was very satisfied after hearing it, and said loudly: "Chengyou, this time for disaster relief, you performed very well, not only restrained the local riots, quelled the war, but also helped the victims, so that the people can be fed, do a good job, I decided to reward you well, come to people, proclaim!" ”
Sixi was about to step forward to announce the decree, when suddenly a voice came out: "Wait! ”
Xi Ze was slightly stunned, raised his eyes, it turned out to be Lord Qin, Xi Ze asked, "Qin Aiqing, what do you have to say?" ”
Lord Qin stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, this disaster relief, the minister and King Rui went together, and the minister found that King Rui privately pocketed the silver taels for disaster relief, a total of 50,000 taels, and now these silver are in King Rui's mansion, please check the emperor!" ”
When Chengyou heard this, it was like being struck by lightning, didn't Xue say that no one saw it? So how did this Lord Qin know? Looking at Xi Ze, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, the wind was surging, he was panting heavily, and said angrily: "Chengyou, what the hell is going on?" It's so disappointing that you embezzled more than 50,000 taels of silver for disaster relief! You rebel! ”
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed in Chengyou's mind, all of them were good things done by the Xue family, it was really not enough to succeed, and there were more than failures, Chengyou felt heartbroken, he hurriedly came out of the ranks, and arched his hand: "Father and the emperor are angry, and the sons and daughters have not embezzled the silver taels for disaster relief, these are all misunderstandings!" ”
When Lord Qin heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Misunderstanding?" So where did you get those boxes of silver in your house? The emperor hasn't rewarded you yet, did you fall from the sky? ”
Chengyou forced himself to remain calm, didn't look at Lord Qin, and said to Xi Ze: "Father, the son doesn't know about those boxes of silver, but the son didn't embezzle the disaster relief silver, please father and emperor!" ”
Xi Ze snorted heavily when he heard this, and said angrily: "This Lord Qin is the most fair and strict, and never tells lies, can he still slander you!" And thou shalt say, Do you have four chests of silver in thy house? ”
"This ......"
Xi Ze said angrily: "Do you still want me to send someone to search your Rui Wangfu to search you before you admit it?" And thou shalt say, Where did the four chests of silver come from? I didn't reward you so much! ”
Chengyou frowned and said: "Father, Erchen doesn't know where the silver came from, Erchen doesn't know at all, but Erchen really didn't embezzle, the silver for disaster relief has been sent to the victims, and Erchen didn't take a penny, please believe Erchen!" ”
Xi Ze snorted heavily, and said coldly: "You have liked to lie since you were a child, do you think I will still believe you?" ”
Chengyou felt that his head was big: "Father, that was when I was a child, and now that I have grown up, I am talking about political affairs, how can my sons lie?" Why don't you trust your sons? With so many people here, Erchen doesn't dare to bully the king! ”
Xi Ze didn't believe what he said at all, and said: "Whether you are telling the truth or not, only you know it in your own heart, you can't understand the origin of the four boxes of silver, so go to the Criminal Department to think clearly!" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, I don't look at you differently because you are the son of the imperial concubine, I must find out about this matter! Come on, take King Rui down, strictly investigate King Rui's mansion, and make sure to investigate this matter clearly! ”
So, Seungwoo was sent to a prison cell like this!
When Yun Tian heard the news, he came to the prison of the Criminal Department like a gust of wind, Xia Wanfeng was doing things inside, and when he saw Yun Tian, although he was not surprised, he didn't expect her to come so quickly, he bowed his hand: "Meet the imperial concubine!" ”
Yun Qian looked flustered, barely calmed, stood upright, and said, "No courtesy!" Xia Xiang, what the hell is going on, King Rui has just come back, why did he go to prison? I'm really anxious to die in this palace! ”
Xia Wanfeng let out a long sigh and said, "This matter is an order handed down by the emperor, the emperor is angry, and it is not easy for Weichen to do it!" This is a political matter, don't get involved, don't get involved, so as not to anger the emperor and affect yourself! ”
When Yun Tian heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said very worriedly: "King Rui has been pampered since he was a child, he has always grown up by the side of this palace, and he has never suffered hardship, and suddenly let him come here, he must not be able to adapt to it, Xia Xiang, this palace knows, this is the place you manage, you must not treat King Rui harshly, if you need silver turnover or something, this palace has it!" As he spoke, he took out a large bag of silver and gave it to Xia Wanfeng.
Xia Wanfeng hurriedly postponed and said hurriedly: "Niangniang, what are you doing?" Wechen doesn't dare to accept your money, so many people here are watching! If Weichen accepts your silver and turns back, there is no good fruit to eat, don't be like this, Weichen is fair and strict to everyone, and treats everyone equally, don't worry, Weichen will definitely take care of King Rui and will not treat him harshly! ”
Yun Tian was helpless, and saw that there were people all around, so he had to take back the silver, looked left and right, and asked, "Where is King Rui locked up now, can this palace go to see him?" ”
Xia Wanfeng was not embarrassed, nodded, and said, "Come on, lead the way for the imperial concubine!" ”
The jailer took Yun Tian all the way to the room where he was closed, opened the cell door for Yun Tian, said "Please hurry up", and then retreated.
When Chengyou saw the clouds pouring in, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "Mother, why are you here?" ”
Yun Tian glared at him angrily, and seeing that there was no one around, Fang walked a few steps towards him and said, "Why do you say I came here?" Yun Tian looked at it carefully, frowned and said, "See for yourself, is this cell a good place?" It's so dark and damp, the light is so bad, it's dirty everywhere, maybe there are rats and cockroaches, how can you live? Why didn't Xia Xiang arrange a better location for you? ”
Chengyou hurriedly comforted: "Mother, don't worry about me, I'm fine!" It doesn't matter! ”
Yun puffed up and said: "Before you leave, what did I tell you, you can't take the silver for disaster relief, you can't take it, you want money, the mother concubine has it, you can give it to you, why do you still take it?" I was caught by your father, can I have a good life for you? ”
"Oops......" Seungwoo frowned, elongated his tone, and said, "I didn't take it!" ”
"You didn't take it, you're going to come here?"
Chengyou let out a long sigh and said, "I told my father, I didn't take it, the matter of the silver has nothing to do with me, but my father doesn't believe me, and I can't do anything!" (To be continued.) )
