King Shou failed to leave the palace but it does not mean that he is sitting still, Fu Shugu has just been escorted to the capital, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple have received the emperor's holy decree to dismiss Bai Caishu and investigate it. Fortunately, King Shou had already dealt with it, so Bai Caishu could wait at home with peace of mind.

But what Shou Wang didn't expect was that Xia Fu's guy found the account book of the lost building out of nowhere. The above records are all gifts given by Fu Shugu to the major officials of the imperial court Shouwang faction over the years, especially Bai Caishu's huge amount.

And all of them have the name seal of Fushugu as a certificate. Fu Shugu flatly denied this matter, and resolutely said that the matter was a joint false accusation by Xia Fu and Ye Linchen.

The prince's people took advantage of the topic to say that King Shou's control was not strict, which made the government unclear, and asked His Majesty to severely punish Fu Shugu and Bai Caishu.

There was a petition before and after the evidence presented by Xia Fu, and the anger that Emperor Li had accumulated was all revenge after all.

The people who ordered Wu Goutai and Yushitai to investigate the truth of everything in Jinling and suspend all the officials related to Fu Shugu for questioning.

For a time, everyone in the court was in danger.

Xie Yaoguang, who had been recuperating at home for many days, finally came to visit King Shou this night. It is tantamount to giving the Shou King, who was overwhelmed by things, a charcoal in the snow.

Shou Wang Ping retreated, leaving only Jiang Huaixin and Xie Yaoguang to discuss countermeasures.

Xie Yaoguang knew King Shou's thoughts.

"Your Highness is worried about Bai Caishu?" Xie Yaoguang looked at King Shou and raised his eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Exactly. Miss Xie also knows how important the officials are to this king. According to the king's opinion, it should be to abandon the valley of the book. King Shou's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, and he sneered, "Fu Shugu is so bold and reckless, it really makes this king feel cold." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but snort lightly, and the sneer in his eyes was unconcealed, "Your Highness, do you really want to keep Bai Caishu?" Haven't you come to your senses yet?"

Hearing this, King Shou was stunned, and then restrained it again.

"Miss Xie means that she hopes that His Royal Highness will give up Bai Shangshu?" Jiang Huaixin, who took over the conversation, twisted his eyebrows and looked at Xie Yaoguang for a long time.

"Your Highness, think carefully about who sent King Ding to Jinling!" raised his eyebrows and smiled a little sarcastically, straightened his back, and a trace of coldness flowed in his phoenix eyes, "Is it the prince?" No. Your Majesty, your father! What did he send King Ding to Jinling for, you know better than me that King Ding is a new hand in government affairs. Don't you think that Your Majesty already knew about these things, and in order to hide people's eyes, he pretended to send King Ding and Xia Fu to patrol the salt. ”

Hearing Xie Yaoguang say this, King Shou was stunned in vain. What she said is indeed very reasonable, the king is not in charge of government affairs, it stands to reason that there is no need for the father to send a prince and a book to inspect the salt land at the same time, and it is enough to go to Xia Fu. But the nature of his father's dispatch of the king is different, one represents the emperor and the other represents the court. After thinking about it carefully, King Shou suddenly understood that the emperor was probably aware of such news early in the morning, so he would send two people at the same time.

"Even if you give up Bai Caishu so rashly, the strength in the hands of His Highness will suffer a lot of losses." Shen Yin Shaoqing Jiang Huaixin glanced at her and said in a deep voice.

"Losses? The shore of the land is not the king's minister! Are they Your Highness King Shou, your courtiers, or Your Majesty's courtiers? Your Royal Highness, don't be confused, this world is the emperor's minister, and the emperor's ministry is even more emperor's, Bai Caishu has chosen a mediocre governor without knowing anything, so that the people are not happy!" Xie Yaoguang raised his eyebrows and did not hide the ridicule in his eyes, and the mockery became more and more obvious under the opening and closing of his lips, "Bai Caishu feels that he is for the sake of His Highness." But he is so chaotic that it is all His Majesty's country, Your Majesty is not a faint king, how can he tolerate such chaos under his rule. ”

The words are cold. It was like a sharp knife mercilessly piercing King Shou's heart and waking him up. King Shou was not confused, hearing Xie Yaoguang say this, he already understood that he was probably just asking him to abandon the ministry so easily, and he was really unwilling to burn it all after years of planning.

What's more, the ministry is the biggest cornucopia in his hands, and Bai Caishu has added much wealth to him through the ministry over the years. And Bai Caishu himself is also very good at ingenious...... Won his heart.

However, King Shou didn't know much about the origin of Fu Shugu, and Bai Caishu gave a lot of gifts when he recommended this person. At that time, I thought that this person was a wealthy family with some talents, but I never thought that Fu Shugu would dare to do such a thing.

He took a sip of the teacup and said leisurely: "Your Highness, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

What is small? Knowing that Bai Caishu is now dead, he still tries his best to protect him, just because Bai Caishu is in charge of the ministry, and the transfer and selection of officials in the world are reluctant to give up this cornucopia. If King Shou has been obsessed with this matter, he will inevitably be rejected by Emperor Li.

A pun intended. The words hit King Shou's heart directly, and a trace of struggle flashed on his face.

"Miss Xie is right. However, I heard that Miss Xie has also been to Jinling recently, and even has business dealings with the Fu family. Jiang Huaixin squinted at Xie Yaoguang, met her implicit sneering gaze, and chuckled and pushed the implied tentative words over, "I don't know what Miss Xie is doing in Jinling now?"

Xie Yaoguang's eyelids lifted when he heard this, and he smiled at Jiang Huaixin's scrutinizing gaze, "Recently, I received a letter from my father asking me to go to Jinling to see the silk business. It just so happened that I heard that the Fu family had a good reputation, so I was thinking about whether I could do business with them. Who would have thought that Fu Shugu would have Xia Bu used as silk, such an act is really against his duty. ”

King Shou was thinking about how to deal with Bai Caishu's words to the two of them at the moment, as if he hadn't heard it. just raised his eyes and looked at Xie Yaoguang, who had a calm expression.

Seeing that Xie Yaoguang was frank, Jiang Huaixin didn't say much. can only suppress the doubts in his heart for the time being, after all, now Shouwang still trusts Xie Yaoguang very much. I don't have any evidence in hand, so it's not good to frame me rashly. I just feel that sometimes Xie Yaoguang always appears so appropriately, recalling this time, it seems that there is always her there.

"Your Highness Yaoguang thinks that you don't have to worry too much about the outcome of the case. The most important thing at the moment is to remove himself from this matter, in case the prince makes a fuss about this matter. Wanli tilted her lips and smiled, no longer hiding her words, "Don't let Bai Caishu become a stain on you, if Your Highness exposes Bai Caishu at this time." I think Your Majesty will praise you for this, and even the people of Jinling will be grateful to you. ”

Shouwang still has a clear priority at the critical moment. No matter how much Bai Caishu has done for him over the years, it can't compare to his status in Emperor Li's heart. If the power is gone, it can be rebuilt, but once the Sacred Heart is lost, the will of the people will will not be so easy to recover.

"The king knows what to do. But I have to bother Miss Xie, you go to the Dingwang Mansion for this king, so that he doesn't have to give this king face, and he can judge how he wants. King Shou bowed his head helplessly and said with heavy eyes.

"Your Highness don't worry. Yaoguang should handle this matter properly for you, so please don't lose your sacred heart in front of Your Majesty because of this matter. Xie Yaoguang lifted his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Besides, Your Highness, even if you lose the ministry, don't you still have me?" ”

Xie Yaoguang's words made King Shou stunned. Yes, how did he forget that he still had Xie Yaoguang by his side. How can the wealth brought by a mere official be compared to the rich Xie family. If you lose the favor of your father in such a matter, it will inevitably be worth the loss. Although the support of the Xie family is not necessarily comparable to the support of those families, as long as the wealth of the Xie family is there, he wants to win people's hearts with his ability.

Seeing that King Shou was a little shaken, Xie Yaoguang couldn't help but sneer. Sure enough, using the support of the Xie family as bait is far more attractive than other things. King Shou himself has his own opinions, no more than the prince, he relies on Su Qinglin for everything, such a person often seems to be the most difficult to control, but in fact, with a little temptation, he can master it.

"Miss Xie's words really made this king suddenly brightened"

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite, it's good that you can figure it out. But please don't forget who is the master of this world, and who gives you your current position and power. Wouldn't it be a ruin to fight against it? ”

Xie Yaoguang's voice was light and pleasant. However, in Shouwang, it sounded like a bowl of cold water poured on his heart, still with a hint of chill. Years of cultivation still kept King Shou calm, and when he saw him stand up, he smiled at Xie Yaoguang: "Delay Miss Xie for so long, and the king will send someone to send you back in the middle of the night!" ”
