Sima Wen and Xiao Wang have worked together for a long time, and they are also very familiar with each other, and they both belong to the kind of king's henchmen.

Hearing Xiao Wang's words, Sima Wen said with a sense of wine: "Prime Minister Xiao is now a duke, and in my Feng Kingdom, even if it is Lord Xue, the head of the country, he is only a marquis......

"Huh?" Xiao Wang waved his hand and said, "Brother Sima is my country's supervision order, and he has the right to inspect hundreds of officials, and this matter must be helped by Brother Sima." ”

"Oh?" When Sima Wen heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know what the prime minister said, you might as well speak up." ”

Xiao Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Sima, dare to ask you to play the king in the morning tomorrow morning, just say ...... Let's just say that I am Xiao Wang, corrupt and cheat, use my power, and enrich my own pockets......"

"What!?" Hearing this, Sima Wen was shocked and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, you, what do you mean by this......"

Xiao Wang said: "After returning to China, I did receive some money, and now, the king is building a new Hedong to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I am also afraid that one day, the matter will be revealed, if it comes to that time, my end, I am afraid it will not be easy, rather than this, it is better to directly ask Brother Sima to start this matter." ”

"Is that true?" Sima Wen asked in a condensed voice.

said that Xiao Wang was corrupt and would not believe it if he was killed, but he couldn't figure it out, Xiao Wang had just obtained the position of duke, but why did he come to him again to say this. You must know that if Xiao Wang is really corrupt and corrupt, even if his head is found, with his power, it can be covered up!

There is no doubt that if the prime minister of a country wants to cover up such a trivial matter, is it not easy!? Not to mention that Sima Wen is a supervision order, even if he really finds out that Xiao Wang is corrupt, I am afraid that in terms of human feelings, he will take the lead in notifying Xiao Wang and ask him to pay attention to himself, but now......

His wine immediately woke up halfway, looked at Xiao Wang and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, if this is the case, the king will punish you, you have to think clearly." ”

"Please also ask Brother Sima to complete it." Xiao Wang arched his hand and said.

"This ......"

Even Sima Wen, who was exquisite, couldn't understand Xiao Wang's meaning at this time.

The next day, the court meeting, the main hall of the wind country, after the court, the ministers knelt down, Lu Chen wore a royal robe, wore a crown, sat on the throne, and said: "The secretaries have the right to play, and they have no book to retreat." ”

Sima Wen was the first to come out and said: "Minister, there is a book." ”

"Oh? What is the matter with Lord Sima? Lu Chen said.

"Minister, as a supervision order, has the responsibility of inspecting hundreds of officials, recently received a report, Prime Minister Xiao Cheng, you are a duke, but you use the power in your hands, corruption and fraud, fill your own pockets, and hide millions of taels of silver!"

Sima Wen said in a shocking voice, in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, in front of Lu Chen, impeached Xiao Wang.

The two of them, both of whom are ministers of the DPRK, if in normal times, even if Xiao Wang is really corrupt, then Sima Wen will not be impeached so directly in the DPRK!

Hearing this, Lu Chen gasped and asked in a condensed voice, "Is there any evidence for this matter!?" ”

Sima Wen said: "Back to the king! This matter, when Wei Chen first received the report, he was also skeptical, but after inspecting, he found that Xiao Chengxiang's home did pile up millions of taels of silver, such a huge amount of gold and silver, with the prime minister's money, it is absolutely impossible to have, therefore, Wei Chen has reason to suspect that Xiao Cheng is indeed using his power to make a lot of money! ”

Yes!?

Hearing this, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Xiao Wang with incredible eyes, people beat drums in their hearts, almost everyone, they all felt that Sima Wen was too direct, how to say, Xiao Wang is also the prime minister of a country, even if he is corrupt, he should say hello to him in advance, and should not be impeached in public in front of so many ministers, so that the king will not be able to punish him even if he does not want to punish him.

When Lu Chen heard this, he was annoyed and angry, and couldn't help but stand up, pointed at Xiao Wang below, and shouted angrily: "Xiao Wang! ”

"Minister, minister is in ......" Xiao Wang swallowed his saliva and stood up.

"What Sima Wen said, but it's true!?" Lu Chen asked again.

"Your Majesty, this ...... This ......," Xiao Wang stammered.

As soon as he saw him like this, Lu Chen didn't need to ask anymore, he already understood, he only felt a wave of anger rushing to his head! Xiao Wang, but he is the minister he trusts the most, but now, Xiao Wang, as the prime minister of Zuo, has taken the lead in corruption, how can Lu Chen not be angry!

He couldn't control his emotions almost instantly, and pointed at Xiao Wang and scolded:

"Xiao Wang! Piff! You horseman! In vain, the king trusts you so much! Did You Know? You are the prime minister of my wind country! Your behavior! Your every move! All represent my wind country! But now, you ignore the prestige of the prime minister and collect money privately! I'm so angry with this king!! ”

I have never seen a king so angry! Lu Chen's scolding made the ministers below silent, one by one, they lowered their bodies tightly, and they didn't dare to come out, while Xiao Wang almost buried his head in the crotch of his pants, and lowered his body there, how dare he fight back.

Lu Chen continued to scold: "Duke! This is the Duke of my Windy Country! This is the left prime minister of my Fengguo! Spread it out, what face does this king have to face the people of the world!? ”

Xiao Wang below is ashamed.

Lu Chen's anger could not be extinguished, and he continued to scold: "Xiao Wang! You follow this king to fight in the north and south! Assist the king and conquer the world! Isn't the higher the position! The more you forget who you are!? ”

As he spoke, Lu Chen shouted again: "Pass on the king's edict!" Immediately deprive Xiao Wang of the Duke of the throne! Relegate it to a marquis! ”

"Minister, thank you King Longen—" Xiao Wang hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Get out! Get lost! I don't want to see you again today! Lu Chen said angrily.

"Minister...... The minister retired first...... Xiao Wang hurriedly arched his hands, bent over, and withdrew from the main hall.

But Lu Chen said so, but in his heart, he trusted Xiao Wang even more!

Because a man, a minister, if he has no weakness, then the king, how to rule.

In fact, Lu Chen doesn't mind Xiao Wang's corruption at all, as long as he doesn't do this kind of thing under certain circumstances, it's like a war on the front line, obviously there is no military salary, but you are embezzling military salary, which Lu Chen can't tolerate! But Xiao Wang's matter is not the case, but he is greedy 'very usual', and his talent and accumulation of some wealth are understandable.

In this case, what Lu Chen saw was that Xiao Wang had his own selfishness, not any big ambitions.

In this way, it also made Lu Chen trust him even more, because Xiao Wang is the prime minister of Zuo, if he doesn't love money, power, and no greed, then Lu Chen will be more and more afraid of him!

This is also Xiao Wang's political mind.

For Lu Chen, it is the heart of the king, when he hides dirt and dirt, and turns corruption into gold.
