Chapter 39: The Emperor is furious

Since Duan Xinran liked Buddhism like her mother, she found that under the influence of Buddhism, her whole heart and vision have improved, and she can have a strong sense of observation every time she comes into contact with others, she can see at a glance that Lin Nanyan is a woman dressed as a man, and guessed that most of the faces that look like men are disguised, and also include the person who follows her...

Several people sat in the midst of drunkenness, and talked happily.

"Still don't know what to call a girl?"

"Just call me Xinran!"

"Xinran, good name!"

Ming Ge, who was already in memory on the side, suddenly lit up in her mind after hearing the word Xinran, how could she not recognize it? Suddenly... Suddenly... Duan Xinran! Isn't it the fourth princess of Qi Kingdom! Her young lady saved the princess!

"Childe praised it." Duan Xinran lowered his head and chuckled. She's been reminded of this, but this little girl doesn't seem to have discovered her identity yet! However, she noticed that Ming Ge on the side had a momentary pause, and she knew that someone still knew!

You must know that the names of all the people cannot contain the same words or the same pronunciation as the names of the royal family, and in this case, they should take the initiative to avoid it, so the only one who can be called Xinran is the princess today, but where did Lin Nanyan notice these at this time...

Because she had already been led astray by Duan Xinran's smile, Lin Nanyan was wondering if she would kill both men and women, and whether this "hero saving beauty" made the girl tempted by her! The more cranky she thought, the more she felt that this was the case, and even the classic old saying from the book she had read before inexplicably welled up in her mind: "The little woman has nothing to repay, but to make a promise with herself..."

"Gongzi Yan, I wonder if you live in Shangjing City?" Duan Xinran had the intention of getting along with her sincerely, so he didn't hide her true identity.

It's over, it's over, is this a promise to be made by example! Now they have begun to check his residence, although she is outstanding, but he is not a man!

"I... I'm here to take the imperial examination! "Forget it, it's better to get away from the topic.

"Oh, then I want to wish Yan Gongzi the title of the gold list in advance."

"Hahaha, thank you so much!"

Take the imperial examination, then it will be easy to find!

Time passes minute by minute...

Before the dinner gradually came to an end, Duan Xinran approached the maid beside him and whispered: "Go and settle the account, and pack me a hundred flower cake!" ”

She thought that she would have to avoid the maids around her in her next words, after all, most of her people around her were her father's people, and she couldn't guarantee what her father would do if he learned about this person... Although she is her father, she is also the monarch of Qi State, and she has always understood the unfathomable truth of the emperor's heart, and it has nothing to do with whether she is a princess or not... Is it the father's favorite child...

"Yan Gongzi, I have a few words I want to say...... It's just..."

"But it doesn't hurt to say..."

"Young Master Yan, maybe I should call you - Miss Yan!"

Palace

In the past few days, the eunuchs and palace maids around the emperor have all acted cautiously with the spirit of twelve, because the saint was furious because he read a booklet that he didn't know who presented him, and Long Yan was furious! The people of the entire palace are more cautious than usual...

At this time, the court was strangely quiet, like the calm before the storm...

The emperor sat silently on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers below, and after a long time, he said sharply:

"Doesn't Zhong Aiqing have anything to say?"

But everyone in the court stood with their heads bowed in black, and the emperor's face gradually turned pale, although he was full of people in the court, he was so silent that he couldn't even hear the sound of breathing, and he could really hear the needle. But for the five princes, the noise in their ears still exists, but it is a little quieter than usual... But only slightly, because my ears were filled with not only frightened voices but also the sounds of watching the excitement, but there was also such a calm voice, as if everything was under control.

[The prince is corrupt and corrupt, forming a party for personal gain... It must be a felony, but nothing is absolute...]

The hearts of the five princes moved, how could these nine princes be so calm? This prince is corrupt and bribe-taking, and he is also involved in the imperial examination, how can he not know anything about it, so it seems that he will definitely not be able to get out safely, because he knows about it, but he does not report it, which is the crime of bullying the king... What's more, there is a suspicion of bribery if you don't report it; But... Wait a minute... The fifth prince's eyes touched the account book in front of the prince, and suddenly thought in his mind, could this account book be presented by him! But how dare he! Offended the prince so much! However, when he thought of the Nine Emperor Princes in his previous life, he not only sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare! However, it may not be as he wishes, because he clearly remembers that although the crown prince was also discovered by the emperor in his previous life, he had taken a lot of bribes, but the prince finally retreated. Therefore, if this booklet was really presented by the Nine Emperor Princes, then it is conceivable that he would welcome the crazy revenge from the ruthless and vicious prince, and he would be very willing to see the Nine Emperor Princes retaliated against by the crown prince, and he was even more happy to see his miserable situation, so that he began to expect that this booklet was the work of the Nine Emperor Princes.

At this time, the emperor suddenly picked up a blue ledger and threw it at the crown prince.

"Smack!" The prince didn't dare to hide, let the book slap on his head and then fall, the account book fell to the ground according to gravity, the prince knelt down in fear, his face was facing the open account book, and he clearly saw that the account book was written with a list of recent bribes...

Then there was a deathly silence, and before the prince could say anything, the emperor said coldly: "I have already made a decree, if I find that the corrupt people will be severely punished, the prince, the prince, do you really think that you are the prince, I dare not do anything to you!! The idea of embezzlement and bribery has even hit the matter of the imperial examination! I see that you prince is already bold and omnipotent! ”

As the emperor spoke, the crown prince kowtowed, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look on his face: "This matter is definitely not the work of the sons!" ”

The five princes who heard the prince's voice all sighed at the prince's superb acting skills, obviously the alarm bell was loud in his heart, but he could still look like he was wronged.

The emperor turned his head to stare at the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, and the two of them kowtowed: "The minister is guilty, the minister is guilty, but this matter has nothing to do with the prince, it is the ministers who have embezzled and accepted bribes in the name of the prince without authorization." While talking, the two of them glanced at the prince from the corner of their eyes, he probably thought that this glance was very well concealed, but he didn't know that this small action was extremely conspicuous to the emperor sitting above...

It's like the students who make small movements under the podium are always complacent and think that they have escaped the teacher's eyes, but they don't know that the teacher standing on the podium has everything in their eyes, and the reason why the students who make small movements are not criticized is just that the teacher turns a blind eye, if you don't believe it, you can try to stand on the podium and look down when you have the opportunity.

The emperor slapped the dragon chair and said angrily: "You are really loyal, do you still have me in your eyes?" Have you forgotten who the emperor is? He pointed at the prince angrily and said: The evidence is conclusive, the booklet in front of you can contain all your bribe-taking records in the past few years, extremely detailed, including who gave bribes, when and where, and how many taels of silver, you still dare not admit it! If it weren't for you, these huge sums of money, would they, the little courtiers, dare to embezzle and accept so many bribes from the imperial examination? I'm really old, stupid! ”

The prince was calm and composed, his eyes swept deeply over the household department and the Ministry of Rites, kowtowed, and said: "The son of the minister implores the father and the emperor to investigate, and he cannot be convicted of the son of the son with just a booklet!" ”

"Enlighten the father, the son has evidence to submit!" At this time, the Nine Emperor Princes, who had been speechless, suddenly stepped forward and spoke.
