The emperor's order was handed down, and the efficiency was really fast. Within two cups of tea, several ministers had already been called in.

Chu Nanyue took a closer look at the past, and sure enough, there were no people from the Ministry of Works, but they were a few who often followed Dongling Hong's side.

After the ministers came in, they all looked at Donglin Hong intently. And Tanglin Hong was extremely careful and did not look at them often.

"I know something today." The emperor said leisurely.

Several ministers didn't know why, so they had to say: "Weichen is ignorant, please ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

"I ask you, what else did you do when you built the dam?" The Emperor's eyes were searching.

The emperor's words were not understood, but the eyes of several ministers flickered with some flickering, and they looked at Tanglin Hong carefully from time to time.

Chu Nanyue knew that they were actually Donglinghong's cronies, so naturally everything listened to Donglinghong. She felt uneasy.

I heard a minister step forward and say, "Your Majesty." The ministers did their best to build the dikes, but they did not derelict themselves in their duties. ”

"Second child, did you hear everything?" The emperor sneered, his eyes already cold.

"Why don't you ask a few more words?" Tanglin Hongdao.

He tried to pretend to be calm, but the drift of his tone showed that he was nervous.

The emperor may really want to give him another chance, so he really continued to ask, "Okay, I'm asking again." Pingjiang's case. Does it have anything to do with you? If you dare to deceive me......"

Before the words fell, the minister, who didn't know anything, knelt directly on the ground and said, "Please forgive your majesty." It was the fault of the guilty ministers that affected His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "What mistakes have you committed?" And what does it have to do with King Yu? ”

The minister trembled and said, "Your Majesty." When the embankment was built, the sinners knew King Yu's preferences, so they privately built underground canals to attract the water of the Pingjiang River, so as to curry favor with King Yu. ”

This remark can't help but be in line with Dongling Hong's words just now.

Chu Nanyue casually looked at Dongling Hong, and found that his expression was obviously relaxed.

Chu Nanyue frowned, guessing that the emperor would react.

I only heard the emperor say: "Underground canal? You are so bold! The people of Linjiang are now living to this point, and they are all caused by you! ”

Dongling Hong also looked angry and said: "At that time, I said that my father would definitely be angry. How can you do such a thing without asking me what I mean?! ”

Chu Nanyue looked at the father and son like this, as if they were standing on the same line.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister deserves to die!" Several ministers were already kneeling on the ground, and at this moment they even kowtowed and said.

"In that case, doesn't King Yu know about it?" The Emperor asked.

His tone had already softened, and his words at this moment were more like wanting to hear more about the words of Dongling Hong's subordinates.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu doesn't know. His Royal Highness had previously advised the guilty ministers to explain the matter to the emperor earlier. His Royal Highness King Yu even ...... I want to take all the blame on myself. The minister said ashamedly.

Hearing this, the emperor's gaze was much gentler. Xiang Dongling Hong said: "Hong'er, I really blame you." ”

The possibility that Tanglin Hong was concealed by his subordinates does exist, and in such a short period of time, Donglinhong has no chance to collude with his ministers.

"No, father, the son is indeed guilty. Erchen knew that he was not strict in disciplining his subordinates, and begged his father to punish him as well. Tanglin Honglang said.

Chu Nanyue felt that it was not good, and listened to the emperor's meaning, even if he didn't fully believe it, he had already believed most of it.

Although Chu Nanyue didn't want to think so, in the face of family affection where blood was thicker than water, it was even possible that the emperor believed Donglinghong's words from the beginning.

The emperor closed his eyes, as if he was really thinking about Dongling Hong's suggestion, and his voice was deep, and he said, "The officials involved, degrade." ”

Listening to the emperor's intention, he wanted to degrade all the officials present, so as to give an explanation to the people along the Pingjiang River.

None of the ministers made a sound, and they were already willing to accept the punishment.

I only heard the emperor say again: "King Yu, don't report if you know." He was fined for one year and thought behind closed doors for a month. ”

"Thank you, father, son, and the son will be punished." Tanglin Hongdao.

Chu Nanyue knew that the emperor's punishment had reached the limit, after all, under Donglinghong's sophistry, the fault was no longer Donglinghong's, and Donglinghong had at most one fault for lax discipline.

"General Chu has the courage to investigate and thoroughly investigate the banks of the Pingjiang River, which is a great achievement." The Emperor looked at her and applauded.

"The last general is just worrying about the emperor, and he doesn't dare to take credit." Chu Nanyue replied.

"In that case, after General Chu receives the reward, he has to do something for me again." The emperor pushed the boat down the river.

"Chu Nanyue, but by the emperor's orders." Chu Nanyue said in a straight voice.

"The Pingjiang matter has not really been resolved. I sent you to bury the underground canal, cut off the canal, and rebuild the Pingjiang water conservancy, what do you think? The Emperor spoke.

Chu Nanyue has a spirit, it turns out that the emperor has the people in his heart, and he has never forgotten to solve the current problem.

So she said, "The last general commands!" ”

There are rewards and punishments in the imperial study, but there is never a relaxed atmosphere. Everyone knew that the emperor was still angry and didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor was in a bad mood, and soon after he finished speaking, he really returned to the dormitory.

And Chu Nanyue and Dongling Hong also walked out of the imperial study one after another.

Walking on the way out of the palace, Dongling Hong's tone seemed a little arrogant, probably because he had torn his face with Chu Nanyue, and he was no longer afraid to speak.

"General Chu. I used to think that you didn't want to associate with me because you didn't want to cling to the powerful. But I didn't expect that General Chu had already looked at me unpleasantly, and this time he actually united with my sixth brother and participated in me in front of the emperor. Today, it seems that I underestimated General Chu. ”

She has no personal relationship with Tanglin Hong at all, let alone deliberate revenge. In the final analysis, it is Tanglin Hong's thinking that is too complicated.

Chu Nanyue glanced at him coldly and said, "It's His Royal Highness King Yu who thinks too much, and if he says that he will unite with His Royal Highness the Sixth, the last general really can't do it." ”

"Do you dare to say that you entered the mansion with my sixth brother this morning not to inquire about the situation? He told you a lot about my past, didn't he? What tricks do you want to play?! "Dongling Hong's eyes are gloomy.

Chu Nanyue knew that the relationship between their brothers was not really good, but like Dongling Hong, he did not hesitate to doubt the number of Dongling, which sounded a little chilling.

Chu Nanyue began to rejoice, and Tanglin Shuo had previously offered to give up participating in this matter. Otherwise, it is not her and Dongling Hong who are really arguing now, but the two brothers Dongling Shuo and Dongling Hong.

"Then His Royal Highness King Yu might as well think about it carefully, if His Royal Highness King Yu did not lead the water of the Pingjiang River to the mansion, how could the last general tell the emperor about this?" Chu Nanyue tried to clarify the truth, and there was a faint meaning of maintaining Tanglin Shuo.

She watched Donglinghong's face change slightly, and she couldn't hang it on her face, and she knew that maybe even Donglinghong himself understood that his words were not tenable at all.
