Chai Baochen was about to ask for an understanding, when the long whip in the eunuch's hand flicked three times, and he sang at the top of his voice: "Go to court!" Someone said to Chai Baochen: "This lord, don't hurry up and line up, be careful of insulting the king!" ”

When Chai Baochen heard this, he knew that now was not the time to speak, so he hurriedly returned to the position where he was standing just now, and followed the team into the Jinluan Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The candles in the info hall are brilliant, and the main hall is particularly majestic and magnificent.

Sure enough, Wang Zhen, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the governor of Dongchang, asked: "Ministers, if you have something to do, you have nothing to do to retreat from the court." ”

The hall is very quiet. Just when Wang Zhen was about to say "scatter the dynasty", Wang Huan suddenly stood up, bowed down and said, "The minister has something to play." ”

The emperor looked back at Empress Dowager Zhang behind the curtain, and then turned around and said, "Aiqing, please speak." "It seems that the little emperor is very familiar with the affairs of the previous dynasty, and his speech is well organized.

"Go back to the emperor and start playing the Empress Dowager. Summer is coming, the water prevention and control along the Yellow River is weak, and every year when heavy rain comes, there will be dangerous situations. The dealers were devastated and the people were displaced. After the heavy rain, the plague spread, the people lacked food and clothing, life was miserable, the dead pillowed each other, and even there was a human tragedy of cannibalism. The minister thinks ......"

"It's hateful, there is such a thing!" Little Emperor Zhu Qizhen shouted. Although he didn't know how to govern the country very well, several Taifu taught him the truth of being a king every day, so he still cared about the people very much.

"Yes! It's so hateful. Not only hateful, but also killable! Wang Wan said angrily.

"Kill whom?" When it came to killing people, Zhu Qizhen had no idea. He only knew that the Lord Wang in front of him was a first-class official that Yang Rong had just promoted.

"yes. Lord Wang, you have to make your words clear. Is there anything wrong with this? Empress Dowager Zhang suddenly interjected and asked.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, the imperial court has special silver money every year for river rectification and appeasement of the hungry people, and the care for the people can be seen. However, some people dare to be greedy for the money used to control the Yellow River and provide relief to the victims, so that the Yellow River is repaired every year, and the embankment still breaks after the repair, and the people have to live in fear every day.

Why is that? Because the officials who govern the Yellow River are greedy for special funds, the governance of the Yellow River is only for show. Why do they dare to do it so blatantly? Because he has someone behind him to support him and dare to deceive his superiors and subordinates. Therefore, the Yellow River is always untreatable, and the people complain of misery. ”

"Who the hell is so bold!" Zhu Qizhen said angrily.

The emperor suddenly shouted, this is, Wang Zhen trembled in fright.

Wang Huan raised his head, looked at the emperor and said, "It's the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant - Wang Zhen!" ”

"Ahh Wang Zhen suddenly screamed, and then realized that he had lost his temper, and he stood up again.

The emperor looked at Wang Zhen beside him suspiciously, and then asked, "Lord Wang, do you have any evidence?" ”

"Yes! This is the account of the money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the Ministry of Industry this spring, and one-third of the money has already been spent before the Yellow River has begun to be controlled. According to Cao Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it was misappropriated by Wang Zhen. The emperor doesn't believe it, but he can confront Cao Rui! ”

Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Wei. Cao Wei came out of the ranks, bowed down and replied: "Whether the silver has been greedy by the prince or not, Weichen doesn't know." I only know that he borrowed 4,000 taels from the Ministry of Industry's money for the treatment of pornography. But when it was borrowed, it was in the name of the emperor's inner palace. The rest of the ministers didn't know anything. ”

Cao Rui's answer can be described as a Tai Chi, and all the force that Wang Huan hit on the prince's body was removed. not only helped the prince and made him feel sorry for himself, but also cleared up the relationship with himself. The inner palace wants to borrow money, and there is no way to do it himself.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "Lord Cao, is this serious?" ”

"That's true, Weichen dares to be sure, otherwise he is willing to accept justice." Cao Wei said affirmatively.

"I know about it. Does anyone have anything else to do? Empress Dowager Zhang asked.

There was silence in the court. Wang Zhen reacted for a long time and said: "Scatter the dynasty!" ”

The officials walked out in twos and threes, and everyone talked about what had just happened. Many people were surprised by Wang Huan's actions, and some officials whispered: "Lord Wang dares to participate in the prince's book, it's really tired and crooked." Look, we'll know the result in a few days, and the prince will definitely have nothing to do. Others commented, "Yes." Wang Zhen won the trust of the emperor, and this money was actually borrowed by the harem, which Lord Wang should not have checked, otherwise he would not have been alarmed. The prince's misconduct will sooner or later teach the little emperor badly. ”

"Well, we'll see. It's another storm. ”

Chai Baochen listened to these discussions, quickly caught up with Lord Wang, and shouted, "Lord Wang, please stay." The student is Chai Baochen. ”

Wang Huan didn't look at him at all and continued to follow his own path.

Other officials gave the two men strange looks. Chai Baochen didn't care about these faces, and continued to follow Lord Wang, saying, "Lord Wang, did the student do something wrong. If I'm wrong, you can beat me and scold me, but don't ignore me. ”

When Lord Wang heard this, his pace slowed down, he turned his head to look at Chai Baochen, and said, "Go, go to my residence and talk." ”

Chai Baochen's heart warmed and followed behind.

Wang Zhen followed the emperor to Kunning Palace, and along the way, the emperor blamed Wang Zhen for embezzling the funds for the management of the Yellow River, which was really guilty of the country's social welfare. Wang Zhen explained: "Your Majesty, although the slave has embezzled four thousand taels, not a single copper has entered his own pocket, and not all of it has been spent on you." ”

"What? You repeat, to whom did it go? When have I ever spent so much money? Zhu Qizhen said angrily. That is, Wang Zhen has such a good relationship with the emperor, if he changes someone else, the emperor will already beat him.

"Back to the emperor, do you remember the bazaar that was opened in the Imperial Garden not long ago? All of them were bought with silver. Otherwise, where would the minions be able to replicate the border trade like that? Also, those ancient Persian silver coins were also exchanged for silver, which is a real silver coin. Your Majesty, you said, can this work without money? "What Wang Zhen said is half-true, there are really these things, and the fake thing is that it doesn't cost so much money to buy these things. The emperor lived in the palace and didn't know the concept of money, let alone the price of goods, so he couldn't hear the flaws.

"Well, you didn't tell me in advance, if I had known this, I wouldn't have played that trade game. What does this make the ministers think of me, haven't I become a faint king? Zhu Qizhen shook his head and sighed.

Empress Dowager Zhang stepped out of the sedan chair and walked into the room. Wang Zhen accompanied the emperor and walked in.

After Wang Zhen entered the house, he knelt on the ground with a "plop", and was just about to ask for guilt, when he heard the Empress Dowager Zhang shout: "Come on, slap his mouth!" ”
