Chapter Ninety-Four: The palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, and I can't bear it!
Wu Yue looked at the direction in which Sandezi bowed and left, and said secretly in his heart, "Wei Chengmo, you have dedicated your life to the imperial court, and you have cultivated a capable Dongting for me. I owe you a debt of gratitude. In the future, your Wei family will become famous, rich and glorious, and that is also an ironclad thing. But now, at the most critical time, you have accepted bribes, and you are still the most feared of the three feudatories. If in the future, when I set out to deal with the three feudatories, these courtiers who were defiled by them will definitely be dragged out and severely punished. ”
"If you don't leave the court at this moment, then it will be difficult for me to be involved in the future."
"Hey... Rather than this, it is better to let you leave the court as soon as possible. Wu Yue said, slowly stood up, walked down slowly, came to the seat not far away and sat down, turned sideways, picked up the snack on the tea table next to him, lowered his head and chewed it.
"Your Majesty, when did you come? I went to the Qianqing Palace to look for you just now, but I didn't find it. At that moment, Hesheri Wan'er strode in.
"Oh, the imperial grandmother is not feeling well, let me stay with me for a few days." Wu Yue put down the refreshments in his hand, looked at Wan'er at the gate of the palace, and said with a gentle smile.
Wan'er smiled, strode to the seat next to Wu Yue and sat down, picked up the pastry plate that Wu Yue had placed on the tea table, and took it into her arms.
"What are you doing, stealing my pastries to eat?" Wan'er said, frowning and stuffing one of the pastries into her mouth, "glaring" at this Wu Yue.
Wu Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Wan'er, today Suo Zhongtang and the imperial grandmother have set our wedding date, and tomorrow it will be made public to the court, in the future, these pastries, you want to eat as many as you want. You don't need to go to great lengths to enter the palace and rush to eat with me. Wu Yue chuckled and looked at Wan'er and said.
When Wan'er heard this, her face couldn't help but flush, and she pushed the pastries in her arms on the tea table, and slowly lowered her head.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to be my queen? Wu Yue deliberately teased and said.
Wan'er raised her head sharply and shook it vigorously.
"No, I do. It's just ......" Wan'er was embarrassed for a while.
Wu Yue faintly felt that there was something wrong with this little girl, and he didn't know whether to say it to himself, or how to tell himself, so as not to make himself angry.
Wu Yue slowly stood up, came to Wan'er's side, leaned her head lightly on her body, and raised her hand to pat her back.
"Wan'er, you and I have known each other for more than three years, and you should know best what kind of person I am. If you don't think it's my primary concern, you can choose not to say it, and if it's something you think I need to know, then even if I'm going to lose my temper, you have to tell me and let me know. ”
Wan'er's eyes were red, and she nodded heavily. But he didn't speak directly.
Wu Yue didn't bother her, and after she pondered for more than ten minutes, she slowly continued, "Wan'er, have you thought about it?" ”
Hesheri Wan'er woke up from her contemplation and responded, "Xuan Ye, when I was going out today, I passed by my grandfather's study, and faintly heard the voice of the cabinet and the middle hall. ”
Wu Yue smiled and nodded, "Your grandfather is the first auxiliary minister, and Ji Bilong is the auxiliary minister, and it is normal for them to discuss some important affairs of the imperial court, this is not a big fuss." ”
Wan'er shook her head.
"If it's a simple court, I won't be embarrassed. But what they talked about was about the military salary and silver allocation of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi. I remember you mentioned that the three feudal districts spend half the world. The huge amount of military pay they demanded was reluctantly given by the imperial court with all its might. But this time, he took out a million pieces of silver and gave it to his grandfather. Let the grandfather agree to the matter of the king of Pingxi increasing the salary. ”
Wu Yue suddenly frowned, "Did your grandfather take it?" ”
Wan'er nodded.
"Grandpa didn't shirk and took the silver ticket handed over by Curb Pilon." Wan'er said, straightened up, looked up at Wu Yue, and then said, "Your Majesty, grandpa is confused for a while, don't you treat grandpa's sins." After the slave returned home this time, she asked her grandfather to hand over all the money she had received over the years to the court. ”
Wan'er said, her knees weakened, and she knelt in front of Wu Yue.
Wu Yue's eyes were micron, and he raised his hand to gently help Wan'er up, and then sat on the chair, looking straight out of the palace gate.
"Sony, what kind of medicine is this sold in the gourd? Didn't I just ask him for the bribes he's been taking over the years? Where did he get the courage to dare to accept it again? Is there something unspeakable? ”
"And this Suppilon? As an auxiliary minister who is responsible for the expenses of the entire imperial court, he dares to blatantly do such a disobedient and greedy thing, it seems that this old boy has to hurry up and tighten his flesh. Wu Yue said silently in his heart, and his originally stretched hands suddenly clenched at this moment.
Seeing this, Wan'er hurriedly knelt down in front of Wu Yue again.
"Your Majesty, please let Grandpa go. Let go of grandpa, as long as you can let go of grandpa, the slave is willing to be a concubine, or promise, or even always there, you can do it. Slaves just want to stay by your side and serve you. Wan'er said, bowing deeply to Wu Yue.
Wu Yue turned his head and stepped forward to see Wan'er helping him up again.
"Your grandpa is your grandpa's business, you are your business. It's not the same. Besides, think about it differently, Suo Zhongtang dared to accept this million taels of silver so blatantly, what else is hidden behind it, do we need to investigate it carefully and then make a conclusion? ”
"Maybe it's not as bad as you think?" As Wu Yue spoke, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of Wan'er's eyes.
Hesheri Wan'er nodded. "I'm also worried that my grandfather will go astray, on one side is my grandfather, and on the other hand, I want to marry the person I want to marry the most in my life, and the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat. I can't bear it. ”
Wan'er said, her arms were strong, she hugged Wu Yue, and she choked up.
Wu Yue didn't know how to comfort Wan'er for a while, so he could only let her hold her and cry loudly.
"Who bullied Wan'er, Xuan Ye is you? You stinky boy, do you think that if you are the emperor, this palace will not dare to beat you? Xiaozhuang's voice appeared at the most opportune time, and then her figure walked out slowly under the support of Aunt Su Mala.
"Imperial grandmother, don't blame Xuan Ye, everything is my fault." Wan'er saw that Xiaozhuang had the urge to beat Wu Yue for herself, so she hurriedly let go, walked quickly to Xiaozhuang, and said anxiously.
"Humph! Little rabbit cub, if it weren't for the granddaughter-in-law of the palace to help you intercede, you kid would have waited for a few crutches in the palace. Xiaozhuang said, raised his hand and clenched Wan'er's arm, and said with a kind smile, "Let's go, stay away from him, so that he won't have anything to go crazy!" ”
Wan'er nodded, lowered her head and turned around, and helped Xiaozhuang up with both hands. And Xiaozhuang took advantage of the situation, gave Wu Yue a look, signaled to him, and the next thing was left to herself.
Wu Yuemu sent Xiaozhuang and the others to leave the apse, only then did he come back to his senses, shook his head with a wry smile, picked up the leftover pastries from Wan'er next to him, chose a small piece, and stuffed it into his mouth.
