Hearing that his son was arrested by Wang Wenming, Du Wubo was very nervous, after all, the third prince Wang Wenming is Wang Zhengbin's right-hand man, it can be said that Wang Zhengbin has many things that are not suitable for him to do it himself.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!"

"Your Majesty......"

At this time, several ministers came out, and several people who played were a few ministers who were very active yesterday and advocated agreeing to the marriage between Xiao Wuyue and the thirteen princes of Yue Kingdom.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should you do?" Wang Zhengbin was on the dragon chair, and he didn't look at the ministers, but just lowered his head and looked at the performance, and asked, his words were not emotional.

The ministers who were accused were basically convicted by Wang Zhengbin. After all, it was he who asked Wang Wenming and others to investigate, and on the other hand, it was determined that they had been bought by Yue Guo, since they were all bought by Yue Guo, then it was not me Hua Yan, and Wang Zhengbin would not be soft when he used the knife.

At this time, a minister who was desperate fell to his knees in horror and took the lead. The ministers who were played knelt on the ground one after another, Wang Zhengbin counted them, there were seven people, of course, Du Wubo did not kneel.

Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground, the surrounding ministers remembered that the presence of the king was like a tiger, and the existence of sitting on the dragon chair was not something that their ministers could grasp. No, the minister who knelt on the ground stood on the opposite side of the king last night, and he was very tough, but today he knelt in front of the king, and this is the reality.

Wang Zhengbin looked at the seven ministers kneeling below with a little headache, some of them were even second-grade officials, hereditary titles, and some generations of important ministers of the court, what was the result?

"Ministers, what do you have to say?" Wang Zhengbin sighed.

The ministers below were all discouraged, and one of the second-grade officials took off their black gauze hats and said: "The guilty minister has nothing to say, and the criminal minister is ashamed of His Majesty!" The other six ministers also learned to take off their black gauze hats, and said in unison: "The criminal minister is ashamed of Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhengbin waved his hand with a headache: "Come on, put these seven ministers in prison, and convict them when they are found out!"

Immediately, a group of soldiers stepped forward and escorted the seven ministers down, leaving only one black gauze hat on the ground.

"The Ministry of Rites, Luo Cheng is involved in your affairs, you can say something. Wang Zhengbin asked the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the old minister did not admit his guilt just now.

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister just said is the truth, but the minister has not had time to comment on it. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu walked out of the column and said calmly.

"Oh, is it? Then please ask the secretary of the Ministry of Rites to tell me what I have spent all those expenses for?" Wang Zhengbin gently rubbed his forehead.

"Your Majesty, those expenses are all expenses used in diplomacy between ministers and surrounding small countries, including the birthday of the monarch of the island country in the East China Sea, the marriage of the prince of the mountain barbarian adjacent to the Chu State in the north, and the concubine of the king of the small country of Dahan in the west. "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu has already said something in his heart, but now he seems calm when he says it.

"Oh, I see, but I haven't ordered diplomatic affairs with the Mountain Barbarians and the Great Cold Country. After all, neither of these two small countries is connected to our national territory. Wang Zhengbin thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, this is the minister's own initiative, and the minister believes that although these two small countries are not connected to our territory, the establishment of diplomacy can also expand the economic development of our country. For the crime of making an unauthorized claim, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime. After speaking, the Ministry of Rites knelt on the ground. Anyway, this one crime is not serious, not to mention that my original intention is to strengthen the country's economy, it depends on whether you cure my crime or not. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu had already sneered in his heart.

"Oh, I see! It seems that the Ministry of Rites has really worked hard for our country! It really touched me so much!" Wang Zhengbin said excitedly.

As soon as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu heard this, his heart suddenly became excited, and he was fully prepared, and he was afraid that you would be strict with a wife who spoiled her daughter all day long? Thinking about it, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu felt that Wang Zhengbin was not so terrible, so he stood up.

As soon as the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up, a loud shout came: "Bold! Your Majesty didn't say to let you get up, you dare to get up? The Ministry of Rites Shangshu raised his head, and the person who drank him was the third prince Wang Wenming!

"Your Majesty, this ......" Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites looked at Wang Zhengbin puzzled.

Wang Zhengbin said with a sneer on his face: "Aiqing, you just kneel first, I will ask a few people first." After speaking, Wang Zhengbin nodded to Li You, the manager beside him.

The chief steward Li You stepped forward and screamed, "Bring three ambassadors to meet!"

The Ministry of Rites supplied in his heart, three ambassadors?

At this time, three people in strange costumes walked up and said in a non-standard continental lingua franca: "The ambassador of the East China Sea Island Country to Huayan Kingdom, the ambassador of the Great Han Country to Huayan Kingdom, and the ambassador of the Shanbarian Kingdom to Huayan Kingdom meet His Majesty King Huayan!" After speaking, the three of them knelt down.

"Three ambassadors, hurry up!" Wang Zhengbin raised his hand to let the three ambassadors calm down.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu looked at the three people beside him, and his heart was already cold, maybe he was going to plant it this time, and he was ready to meet him.

"Ministers, yesterday evening, the Great Han Country and the Mountain Barbarian Kingdom have sent ambassadors to our Huayan Kingdom to conduct friendly diplomatic affairs, and I have approved it. Wang Zhengbin explained.

Wang Zhengbin paused for a moment, and waited for the surrounding ministers to accept the news before asking: "Three ambassadors, I heard that both the Ministry of Rites and your country have carried out diplomatic affairs, and they have also sent a large amount of property. ”

"King Yuhua Yan, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of your country has not sent an envoy to my Great Han Kingdom. ”

"King Yuhua Yan, no one in your country has ever been to my mountain barbarian country. ”

"King Yuhua Yan, the Ministry of Rites did look for me a few days ago. The ambassador of the East China Sea island country, the only one of the three countries that is adjacent to the Huayan Kingdom, said.

"Oh, what's the matter with you?" asked Wang Zhengbin.

"King Yuhua Yan, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu sent two boxes of gold and silver, so that in the future, if His Majesty testifies in the inquiry, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu has sent an envoy to my island country in the East China Sea. However, he had already handed over two boxes of gold and silver to the third prince and explained the situation. The ambassador of the East China Sea island country said.

"Hmm. Wang Zhengbin nodded, looked playfully at the Ministry of Rites who was already kneeling in a cold sweat and said: "The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites, you can be a quasi-first-class minister, is there anything else to say?"

"Spare your life, Your Majesty! The minister is guilty, and the minister's crime is extremely evil, but please spare my people." It's not a pity that the guilty minister died, but all the mistakes are the fault of the minister. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu suddenly begged for mercy, and his head was still banging on the marble floor, and after a while, blood stains appeared.

"Your Majesty, these are two open and secret accounts that were searched from the house of the Ministry of Rites, and the correspondence between the Ministry of Rites and other countries has also been found!" Wang Wenming stepped forward, handed over the two account books and a few letters to Wang Zhengbin, and glanced at Prince Wu, who was pretending to be calm on the side.

Wang Zhengbin looked at the bloody and blurred Ministry of Rites Shangshu on his forehead, gritted his teeth and shouted bitterly: "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu, you are bullying the king, this is treason, and you have to punish the nine clans!"

"Your Majesty, it's the minister's fault, it's the minister's fault! For the sake of the minister's sister marrying the first emperor, I beg Your Majesty to spare my clan. Saying that, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu began to kowtow again, and a sixty-nine-year-old man kowtowed with blood all over his head, looking miserable.

Wang Zhengbin sighed. The sister of the Ministry of Rites was once a famous beauty in the royal city, of course, in the previous dynasty, and was favored by the first emperor and accepted as a concubine, so the Ministry of Rites was able to sit in the current position.

"Herald!" Wang Zhengbin said. "Yes!" several soldiers standing guard outside the hall walked in.

"Take down the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, remove the flower feather on the top, behead the noon gate, confiscate the family property, and all the clansmen who are officials in this dynasty will be dismissed from their official positions, and their clansmen will be exiled to the coast, and they will not be hired as officials in the court for ten years. The widow of the first emperor was connected to the harem to accompany the queen mother. Wang Zhengbin said with his eyes closed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!" said the Ministry of Rites Shangshu kept kowtowing.

"Yes!" a few soldiers dragged away the book of the Ministry of Rites, and a few little eunuchs also quickly walked out of the main hall to convey their will.

This matter, Wang Zhengbin rubbed his forehead, for the sake of his baby daughter in the past two days, headaches have become a habit.

"Du Wubo, what do you say about your son?" Wang Zhengbin asked while rubbing his forehead.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life! My son is definitely not intended, Your Majesty, please spare my son's life, the minister is such a son, Your Majesty, please!" Du Wubo immediately knelt on the ground with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed to Wang Zhengbin again and again.

"But your son robbed the people's daughter, this is still in the royal city, under my nose, this matter has a great impact. Wang Zhengbin opened his eyes and said.

"This, Your Majesty, Minister, This, please spare my son's life! Please Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take my son's place!" Du Wubo's tears continued to flow, and his forehead was also bruised, and if he knocked again, he would definitely bleed soon.

Wang Zhengbin didn't speak, just thinking about something, and then spoke: "Du Wubo, the position of city lord in Dingyuan City on the coast of the East China Sea is now vacant. ”

"It's Your Majesty, after the ministers returned to the clan land, they moved to Dingyuan City to guard the city for Your Majesty!" Du Wubo knocked his head on the ground and said.

"Your son's matter has had a great impact, and he will be punished by cutting off his hands, so that his memory will increase. Wang Zhengbin said again.

"It's Your Majesty, the minister will always discipline this rebel when he returns!" Du Wubo finally raised his forehead, which was already oozing blood.

"Well, step aside!" Wang Zhengbin mumbled.

"Thank you, Lord Longen, the minister retires!" Du Wubo kowtowed again, then got up and walked out of the hall in disappointment.

"Whew. Wang Zhengbin exhaled a long breath, looked at Prince Wu on the side and said, "Prince Wu, I'm sorry." There's a lot to do at home and you've been waiting for a long time, so let's start the competition now. ”

"His Majesty King Hua Yan's wisdom today is admired, so let's start the competition now. Prince Wu sighed, now he was alone.

Long Fan and Xiao Wuyue walked up from the apse, Xiao Wuyue walked towards Wang Zhengbin, and Long Fan walked towards Prince Wu and the Thirteenth Prince with a smile on his face.
