"Your Majesty, Wechen has told the emperor everything he knows, and I ask the emperor to forgive Wechen's crime of bullying the monarch and accepting bribes, and he will be punished lightly."

Kneeling at the bottom is not Lord Zhao, who else can there be, Burhaqi Huzhuo stood on the side, it seems that Huzhuo has made a contribution.

Hu Zhuo stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Zhao was virtuous before, he will now make up for his mistakes, and provide us with the necessary evidence that Lord Fucha bought and sold officials and lords to fornicate with the private government, and asked the emperor to be lenient." ”

Lord Zhao had a bitter face, trembling in his heart, it was not easy for anyone to say that he had embezzled in front of the emperor: "Weichen is ashamed of his trust in the emperor, but he really only did so many things before, and received less than four thousand taels of silver. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, although Lord Zhao has done wrong things, he can be regarded as diligent during his tenure, except for a few things, there is nothing out of the ordinary." Hu Zhuo hesitated, but he was afraid that the emperor would doubt himself, so he just said truthfully: "During the investigation of Weichen, the people said that Lord Zhao is a good official, and the people's remarks are always wrong. ”

"Zhao Zhide, have you ever wronged a good person in order to clear the charge of others, let others be imprisoned in vain, or shouted that the heinous person walked out of Dali Temple intact?"

"Wechen dares to swear to the sky, in the case of the Ertu family, he has never done such a thing that loses his conscience, and the most serious thing is that the sentence has been reduced, and he will be released after a few days, but it is also because of his light crime, the emperor will believe in Wechen again."

Seeing Lord Zhao swearing and raising his fingers to swear, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "You are such a fool, it was in vain that I personally supported you to this position!" ”

"Wechen is ashamed of his love for the emperor, if he didn't want to make up for his mistakes, Wechen would have died on the stone pillar now!" The exaggeration made Hu Zhuo glance at him, and he didn't see that this old man was so shameless on weekdays, which was really an eye-opener.

"Okay, don't come to this set," the emperor waved his sleeves: "I ordered you to leave the imperial study and immediately make a list of the wrong things you have done in the past few days and hand it over to me, in addition to compensating the people, you must also return the bribes you have received twice to the real hands, if you can't take it out, you don't have to be an official, can you have any objections?" ”

"Naturally, there is no nature, Weichen thanks the emperor for not killing." Even if Lord Zhao couldn't take out so much money for a while, he still said that the emperor's grace was great.

"Go out and collect some money, but you must know that if I hear that you are still hiding dirt from the Fucha family, I will not be able to protect your head." Originally, when Hu Zhuo came to say that Lord Zhao had evidence about this matter, he was a little suspicious, why Zhao Zhide would betray his little financier, could it be that he had another plan, until Hu Zhuo explained that he found the clue first, and wiped off Lord Zhao's bottom through the Ertu incident, and Lord Zhao still had a conscience for the country and the people, so he believed a little.

"The emperor can rest assured, Weichen has made a big mistake, and he will do his best to do things only for the emperor and the people in the future, otherwise Weichen will be thundered and the whole family will ......."

"Stop." The emperor drove Lord Zhao out.

"Aiqing, you go and bring the capital to me in person, you don't have to tell him anything, I want to see if he can have a word of truth in his mouth."

"Weichen obeys the order, bring Lord Fucha over now, and the emperor will wait for a while."

On the road outside the gate of Changchun Palace, a palace maid ran in a hurry, and the people passing by took a closer look, it turned out to be the first-class palace maid Ru'er of Changchun Palace, I don't know what happened, in the winter, there was a thin sweat on her face.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, it's not good Niangniang......"

The voice is from far and near, such as the concubine in the winter morning has always been unwilling to get up early, but because of the invitation to be still up before dawn to freshen up, now just dispersed to ask for peace, and was about to rest and sleep half a year of sleep, but heard Ru'er's shouting, very annoyed, opened the curtain and shouted: "What is it called early in the morning!" What's so in a hurry! There is no peace in this palace for a moment! ”

This morning, Concubine Jiang's ridicule upset her, and even Hua Ying's casual eyes looked like mockery and disdain in Concubine Ru's eyes.

"Master, Ru'er is the most talkative, and she usually doesn't be in such a hurry, so you better listen to the news brought by Ru'er."

Witty words waited for Concubine Ling to get up from the soft couch, Concubine Ru also knew that she was too angry when she got up, and now she saw Ru'er kneeling on the ground tremblingly, and said impatiently: "If there is anything, just say it, let you have no rules like this, it must be a big deal, and this palace will not blame you for the crime of being noisy." ”

"Niangniang...... Ru'er cautiously glanced at Concubine Ru's eyes, knowing that what she was about to say would definitely make Concubine Ru angry or panicked, so she didn't dare to speak.

Concubine Ru saw that she was about to get angry again, and the witty words hurriedly pushed Ru'er: "Ru'er has something to say directly, Niangniang is in a bad mood now, so don't waste Niangniang's patience." ”

It was precisely because she was in a bad mood that she didn't dare to say it, Ru'er took a deep breath and wanted to finish directly: "Lord Fucha has been escorted to prison......"

It's a pity that she didn't follow her wish to finish speaking in one breath, and in less than half a second, Concubine Ru immediately interrupted, and her voice was a hundred times harsher than what she called just now: "What did you say!" How could Amma end up in jail! Are you crazy! ”

"!" Witty words grabbed Ru'er and wanted to push Ru'er's arm: "Listen to Ru'er first, Niangniang!" If this is true, let's think about it earlier! "To be honest, the first reaction of the punch line to Ru'er's news is to believe it, she has been with Concubine Ling for many years, and when she never entered the palace, she has heard a lot of the cats in Fucha's family, but she is a person who only knows loyalty, to put it bluntly, she is unconditionally partial to the master, and she has never felt that they have done anything wrong, but she will worry that these things will be exposed, but she didn't expect that so many years have passed, but now the East Window incident has happened.

Ru'er saw that she was safe, and she didn't care if Concubine Ru's current mental state could be listened to, so she said everything she knew, something happened in Fucha Mansion, and these palace maids were also ill-fated, so how could they take care of comforting Concubine Ru: "I heard that the emperor found the evidence that Lord Fucha colluded with his henchmen for personal gain, and even found out that the Ertu family, the mother of the former Beicheng Niangniang, bought girls to kill children with the acquiescence of Lord Fucha, and after Ertubuqi was imprisoned, he bribed the officials to acquit him. There is already conclusive evidence in this case, so the emperor will let Lord Huzhuo directly put Lord Fucha in the prison to continue the interrogation. ”

Concubine Ru only felt that her eyes were dark, and Witty Yu poured her a cup of hot tea on the side, but she couldn't warm her body: "...... How could this suddenly happen, and where did the conclusive evidence come from? Amma has always said that what she does is seamless, how can this be...... The emperor is really ruthless, and he doesn't care about the feelings of the first emperor and his grandfather at all, but even the palace has received money from the people below, does the emperor know everything......"

"Niangniang, don't panic first, the emperor is not looking for you, it means that there is no matter for you yet, you have to stabilize, our Changchun Palace still depends on you." Witty words were distressed: "If you are in a hurry directly, it will be useless to say anything, Niangniang." ”

"Yes, steady, steady," Concubine Ru said repeatedly: "Yao'er, call Yao'er over, quickly." ”

"Okay, Niangniang will drink saliva and sit down first, and the slave will go now."

But in a moment, the palace basically knew the news of Concubine Ru's father being imprisoned, and the queen almost set off fireworks to celebrate, but she was still very calm: "Xinyu, let people tell Yao Er that if there is any bad way, tell Concubine Ru, it is best to let him completely lose the emperor's favor and directly become a waste concubine, so that the palace will also eliminate a confidant enemy." ”

I thought it would take a while, but I didn't expect good things to happen so quickly. Yao Er, a chess piece, has been doing things for her, such as the concubine is staring at the queen's position, if the time really calculates the queen, Yao Er can also tell the queen in advance, and the queen can take the lead, but what she didn't expect is that she doesn't have to wait for that day at all, the Fucha family will have an accident by herself, if the concubine wants to be the queen, it is better to solve her own family's affairs first, a daughter of a criminal minister is not worthy of ascending to the back seat.

"It's just a pity, this palace should be able to use Concubine Ru's hand to do more things, if she falls like this, this palace is really unwilling." said that it was a pity to be like a concubine, but her actions couldn't deceive people, and the queen gently stroked her face with her hand, and said: "There is finally a good thing, otherwise this palace would have been wrinkled with anger before." ”

Xinyu smiled and talked to her, the queen was in a good mood, and her mood was not bad: "Even if the queen mother doesn't have that chess piece, she can still sit firmly in the middle palace, and there are no others without her, the slave maid looks at that Fei Chang is good, people are smart and clever and ruthless, unlike Du Promise, who only knows how to compete for favor, and ah, the mother is the eternal life of youth, don't worry about wrinkles, the slave doesn't see anything." ”

"How's Fei Chang doing over there?"

"I'm still quite patient, and I've never come to find my mother."

"Oh?" The queen raised her eyebrows, it seems that she is not mistaken, she is indeed a medium-used, she can endure falling out of favor for so long, if Du agreed, she would have come to beg her to let her find a way to see the emperor.

"In this case, let's invite Fei Chang to come to Kunning Palace tomorrow, since people are sincere, we can't treat her badly."

"The slave understands."
