The emperor heard the beautiful words of Concubine Shu, but he was not moved in the slightest, he snorted coldly, his anger increased instead of decreasing, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, you still have the face to ask? My old face will be lost by your mother and son!"

Concubine Shu listened to the meaning of the emperor's words and seemed to implicate Rui'er?

In any case, let the emperor remember the benefits of Rui'er first, knowing that the emperor is the most important filial piety, Concubine Shu thought about it and shed two lines of miserable tears, and cried weakly: "Your Majesty, Rui'er has been deferential to the emperor all these years, treating her brothers with humility and courtesy, and always abiding by the demeanor that a prince should have, how could she do anything that hurts Long Yan?"

The emperor laughed angrily when he heard Concubine Shu's words, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, stood up and pointed at her and said sharply: "Your son who keeps praising you, do you know what he did?"

Concubine Shu was scolded one after another, and she lost her backbone for a while, and looked at the emperor speechless with wide eyes.

The emperor chuckled, his eyes were full of gloom, walked up to the concubine, and looked at him condescendingly: "My emperor, the king of Jin, the humble prince praised by the courtiers, do you know what he did in private?"

Concubine Shu's heart sank when she heard the word "hook", could it be that thing... How could it be, Rui'er has always been the most careful!

How shrewd is the emperor? Naturally, he saw the slight changes in Concubine Shu's eyes, and it was indeed an accomplice between mother and son! Without waiting for Concubine Shu to speak out and defend herself, she sneered and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is willing to be a lowly person to do what a merchant does, which is really insulting to his ancestors. ”

Shinong Industry and Commerce, in this era, the status of merchants is still very low, and the so-called people with a little bit of face do not despise the business of merchants, let alone people in the royal family!

If the courtiers hear about it, Rui'er won't want to sit on that one, who will support a person who insults the reputation of his ancestors? Concubine Shu panicked, and just wanted to speak, she heard the emperor continue: "Hmph, forget it if you do such things, he still dares to rely on the power of the Jin Dynasty to make huge profits by improper means, suppress his peers, and when he encounters a tough lawsuit, he will press down the palace platform to make perjury and testify, such a modest prince is really an eye-opener for me!" The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became, and even looked at the crying concubine Shu felt bored, kicked on her, and shouted: "The concubine has no way to teach her son, she will be punished for thinking behind closed doors for a year, and her salary will be halved, and you will not be able to meet without a purpose." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at the concubine who kicked on the ground, and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

Concubine Shu felt a chill in her heart, not for her own punishment, but for Rui'er, how to deal with this matter?

Fang Ruo, the personal female official of the concubine of Huayu Palace, had already heard the emperor's angry reprimand, but she didn't dare to come forward to persuade her, and when she saw the emperor who was angry and left, she hurriedly ran into the palace, and saw the concubine who fell to the ground with a pale face, and exclaimed: "Niangniang, how are you?"

Concubine Shu came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and grabbed Fang Ruo's arm, Fang Ruo was caught in a pain and did not dare to speak.

"You go and inquire and see how the prince's mansion is now, and what is the emperor's disposition?"

The emperor also saved face for Concubine Shu in front of the palace maids in the courtyard, and when he came to Huayu Palace, he retreated, so the palace maids of Huayu Palace only knew that the emperor angrily reprimanded Concubine Shu, but she didn't know why! Fang Ruo was surprised when she heard this, why did she still implicate the King of Jin when she heard it now? But she didn't dare to slack off when she heard Concubine Shu's arrangement, and hurriedly agreed.

The emperor summoned Jin Rui into the palace when he left Huayu Palace, but he wanted to see what his three sons were going to explain?

Jin Rui couldn't have imagined that when he was busy looking for clues to the enemy, the enemy had already used the hand of the shopkeeper Sun to explain everything to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and the Jingzhao Yin Mansion handed all this to the emperor with the principle that the case was implicated and the prince did not dare to deal with it easily.

Standing in the Qinzheng Palace, the emperor threw a stack of testimonies on Jin Rui's face; Jin Rui glanced down, sure enough, it was Sun Wencai's handwriting, and he secretly hated in his heart, if it wasn't for Peng Hao's instructions to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to guard Sun Wencai carefully, the people he sent before would have already sent Sun Wencai's dog on the road, and he could still give him a chance to bite himself?

The emperor couldn't help but be even more angry when he saw Jin Rui's face not change, and scolded: "You have read the sage books for so many years into the belly of a dog? You dare to do such a thing under my nose?

Jin Rui's face was very ugly, but he didn't dare to show it, it was really uncomfortable to forbear, the emperor's words could not be said to be unreprimanding, but he also slapped Jin Rui in the face, and it was the first time that the adult princes were reprimanded like this!

The emperor was also angry, and he became more and more irrational when he spoke, and Gonggong Su looked busy and took a cup of herbal tea and put it in the emperor's hand, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, take a sip of tea to extinguish the fire." ”

Father-in-law Sun was also worried about the emperor's body, but he also indirectly sold Jin Rui a face; who knew that the emperor saw the teacup picked up with one hand and fell directly on Jin Rui, the tea flowed down the placket and the teacup was shattered.

Seeing this, Gonggong Su hurriedly knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say anything more, and Jin Rui also knelt down in fear and shouted: "My father is angry, and my son knows his mistake." ”

At this time, defending will only make the emperor even more angry, but it is better to admit it, and win a reputation for daring.

"Knowing the mistake? can it be ended with a sentence of knowing the mistake?" The emperor looked at the cold "snort", and his voice was still cold.

Jin Rui put his head on the ground and said respectfully: "Father, the son knows his mistake, and the father takes care of his health." After a pause, he said: "Erchen was confused for a while and made a mistake, and he didn't dare to deceive and justify, and he will definitely solve the matter completely after returning home, so as not to disgrace the royal family." ”

The mother and son both speak better than they sing! What dragon body matters, I am afraid that I can't wait for my own death in my heart! The emperor's eyes became gloomy and fierce when he thought about it, and when he looked at Jin Rui who was kneeling, he only felt irritable, his head was beating for a while, and he was not in the mood to teach him any more lessons, so he waved his hand impatiently; Jin Rui's eyes darkened and he retreated.

The atmosphere in the Qinzheng Palace is still condensed, Gonggong Su has also followed the emperor for many years, and the emperor's temperament can also understand one or two, knowing that King Jin's move really angered Long Yan, I am afraid that not only a reprimand can dissipate his anger, but there is still a lot of news about this matter.

As soon as Jin Rui returned to the Jin Palace, Wen Ge came to him and said that Sun Wencai in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion had confessed, and Sun Wencai not only told the fact that he had repeatedly defrauded, but also said that he was only the second shopkeeper and His Royal Highness the King of Jin was the shopkeeper behind the scenes.

Jin Rui listened to Wen Ge's words with a cold face, gritted his teeth and said: "Transfer all the people who are looking for the account books back, gather everyone to find Sun Wencai's family, and give this king a thousand knives after finding it." "I got such a big reprimand, lost such a big face, and the reputation established in the court disappeared overnight, and became a laughing stock among the princes, this Sun Wencai is the first merit!

Wen Ge was stunned when he heard this, the account books have always been Jin Rui's top priority, why did he stop looking for them at this time?

"Lord Wang, it's not good. A man who looked like a servant ran into the main hall and saw the queen of Jin kneeling on her knees and said in a trembling voice.

Jin Rui was anxious, watching this person run in recklessly, and suddenly shouted as if he had lit a cannonball: "If you have something to say, you can't rush to mourn in a hurry?"

When the man heard this, he was prostrate on the ground, and his voice was full of fear. "The prince atons for his sins, and the small one has something important to report. ”

Jin Rui took a deep breath, rubbed his eyebrows, and said impatiently: "If you have something, just say it." ”

When the man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lord, just now there was a letter from the palace saying that Concubine Shuniang was reprimanded by the emperor and punished with a one-year grounding. ”

Jin Rui's eyes instantly became murderous, it was not enough for him to be reprimanded? Even his mother and concubine were reprimanded and punished? Father, you are really ruthless!

Wen Ge heard this, how could Concubine Shu be punished for no reason? Just now he was anxious to speak, only then did he notice that King Jin's clothes were wet, and he was still stained with tea leaves, and he looked embarrassed and angry, thinking that he was called into the palace, he was shocked, could it be that the emperor already knew about the shop, so he would be angry and punish Concubine Shu?

"Lord, does the emperor know?" Wen Ge didn't dare to imagine the consequences of the emperor knowing about this, and asked tentatively.

Jin Rui stiffened and nodded with a gloomy face.

Wen Ge was shocked, this is terrible, how can such a weak force as the Jin Wangfu bear under Long Yan's anger?

Jin Rui waved his hand and sent away the people who talked back and forth, the matter of the mother concubine was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to worry about it now, it was better to deal with the matter of the shop first, and said with a gloomy face: "Let's do things first, and plan the rest later." ”

Wen Ge knew that the situation was serious, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly convened the rest of the staff in the house to discuss how to deal with the affairs of the shop, the appeasement of the merchants who were oppressed in previous years, the compensation for compensation, and the shop should also be closed.

Jin Rui's face changed, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly changed out of his tea-stained clothes and came to the front yard to receive orders.

Although I haven't heard the content of the holy decree yet, as long as I think of my father's angry face and my mother's punishment... Jin Rui faintly sensed in his heart that this holy decree was not a good thing, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy, could it be that the concubine's punishment and his merciless reprimand were not enough to calm the anger?

King Jin answered. The proclamation of the decree was held in his hand and the holy decree was swaying, and he shouted.

Jin Rui lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "The son accepts the order." ”

The father-in-law of the decree glanced at Jin Rui, then opened the holy decree in his hand and read: "The king of Jin has the emperor's grace, fined for three years, and suspended for one year. ”

Jin Rui listened to his thoughts for a moment, and his heart sank.

Wen Ge listened on the sidelines, frowning deeply, needless to say, the one-year suspension can be said to be a fatal blow to Jin Rui, and now the Jin Wangfu is weak compared to other palaces, so a one-year grounding is equivalent to completely cutting off the connection between the Jin Wangfu and the government.

Now the princes are struggling to win over and buy the courtiers, and Jin Rui has been suspended for so many years... What a seismic change should be in the DPRK and China?

How could Jin Rui not think of what Wen Ge could think of? But can the emperor's holy decree still be reversed? Gritting his teeth, he suppressed the anger overflowing in his heart, and said in a voice as low as possible: "The son of the minister received the order. ”

The housekeeper of the Jin Palace, knowing that his prince must be in a bad mood, was busy and courteously sent his father-in-law out of the mansion, and gave a generous reward.

The father-in-law of the decree smiled and cushioned the purse in his hand, still put it back in the butler's hand, and said with a smile: "Our family doesn't dare to receive the reward for doing things for the saint, so we will leave." After speaking, he left without waiting for the housekeeper's reaction.

The housekeeper looked at the back of the father-in-law of the Xuanzhi, and was stunned, didn't he even accept the reward of the Jin Palace? Could it be that the Jin Palace?

When Concubine Shu in Huayu Palace heard the emperor's punishment of King Jin, her face turned pale, she sat on the concubine couch weakly, her eyes were dull, and she muttered: "Your Majesty, this is going to cut off the life of our mother and son." ”

Peng Hao arrived at Jingzhao Yin's Mansion here, and before he could speak, he heard Lord Zhao say that Sun Wencai had confessed, and the matter implicated the King of Jin, and he had no right to ask about this matter anymore, so he had already written a note and handed it to the emperor.

Who can interfere in this matter of the emperor's ruling?

Sun Wencai actually confessed, could it be the means of the group of people who robbed Sun Wencai's family? In this way, it will not be the people who rob the people of the King of Jin! Who in this Kyoto would have such a big enmity with the King of Jin to do this? However, Peng Hao was of course happy to see this happen, and he didn't stay long, so he turned around and went back to his house.

As soon as Peng Hao returned home, he heard that Peng Mo had a fever again, and he rushed to the Mohe Garden before he had time to rest.
