CHAPTER XXXII

Following.

When Mocha woke up, Emperor Ming Xuan had already gone to the court, and when he heard Shui Yue and others say that the sky was still bright, the imperial concubine ran to the Qianqing Palace, but the emperor ignored it.

When Mo Cha heard this, she shrunk her neck a little embarrassed, she remembered that the emperor was here last night, leaving only Gonggong An in the Qianqing Palace.

Mo Cha also knew about yesterday's incident, so she didn't express any opinions, so she stayed in Mingyu Palace honestly, which was no longer something that the harem personnel could interfere with.

And on the court.

The whole atmosphere was extremely depressing, and Gao Taishi knelt on the ground with trembling legs: "The old minister has no face to face His Majesty, and he has no way to teach his son, and he also rushed into the emperor and begged the emperor to surrender." ”

The other ministers didn't say anything they knew or didn't know, only the members of the Gao Taishi team all admonished one after another, all of them were childlike and stubborn.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty saw the performance of the ministers, did not speak, and looked at the Dali Temple and the officials.

The official came out: "Your Majesty, Gao Gon is relying on the Taishi Mansion to rob the people's daughters and disregard people's lives, and he doesn't take the laws of Daqi and the emperor in his eyes at all." ”

When Gao Taishi heard this, he said with surprise on his face, "Master Chen, this can't be said with a few words. ”

Dali Siqing also stood up: "Back to Your Majesty, yesterday's investigation and visit learned that the prisoner Gao Gon did a lot of hard work, the winter of the year before last, killed the trader, but also intimidated and threatened the dealer's family, last year and robbed the people's daughter, and finally connived at the subordinates to burn the poor woman's family alive, a rare escape, was beaten to death, and many other things are really difficult to say. ”

When the others heard this, they were all angry, not to mention Dali Siqing, and when it came to the back, they were determined to ask for their lives for the people.

Gao Taishi prostrate on the ground, with ruthlessness in his eyes, decided to abandon this son.

"The old minister has no way to teach his son, and he didn't know that this son of evil was doing a lot of evil outside, so please ask the emperor to punish him." Gao Taishi's sad voice resounded in the court, making people unbearable to see the white-haired man sending the black-haired man, and he was about to plead.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty didn't seem to see it, "Since the old lady has this awareness, and he also knows that this kind of behavior is really outrageous, and there is a righteous act of killing relatives, then take Gao Gon to the noon gate and behead him." ”

I didn't expect Emperor Ming Xuan to play cards at all, and when Gao Taishi heard the decision, he was directly about to faint, but before he could implement this idea, he heard Prime Minister Lin take out an excerpt and an account book.

"Master Gao still faints again later, it's too early." Prime Minister Lin said lightly without any tone.

When Gao Taishi saw the account book, he felt uneasy, and when he heard Prime Minister Lin say this, his old face was red, and his face was red and his neck was thick: "What is Prime Minister Lin Cheng talking about?" The old man didn't understand. ”

Prime Minister Lin didn't say anything to him.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the list of corruption and bribery found in the investigation of Gyeongju last year, and the evidence is this account book, which clearly records the amount of corruption by Gao Taishi and Gyeongju Mansion Yin, and I also ask the emperor to investigate."

Prime Minister Lin lifted his official robe, handed it over with both hands, and handed the things to Grandpa An.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty took the fold, his face became more and more pale, and he directly threw the fold in front of Gao Taishi, and looked at the account book again.

"It seems that I really underestimated the old lady, buying and selling official positions, embezzling disaster relief salaries and food, good, very good, really a good official of Daqi." Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty was furious.

Master Gao and the people involved in it were in a cold sweat, and the others shouted that the emperor was angry.

Gao Taishi also wanted to quibble, "Your Majesty, this is slander, a naked frame-up, the old minister is incorruptible, he will never do this kind of behavior, ask the emperor to see it." ”

Prime Minister Lin looked at it coldly: "Heh, it's really come to this point that the old lady can still speak so righteously, you are greedy for the silver taels of disaster relief, have you ever thought about the lives of tens of thousands of people in Gyeongju, and buy and sell official positions at will, when the law of Daqi is an ornament?" ”

"Prime Minister Lin, don't frame the old man." Gao Taishi argued.

"That's enough, above the court, Master Gao, don't quibble anymore, don't let the others shout out in person, stand up." Emperor Ming Xuan said coldly.

So in full view of everyone, four or five officials came out, and the others were very surprised, looking at these shameless people, and stayed away from them, so as not to cause repercussions.

When Gao Taishi saw this scene, he completely stopped talking and did not speak.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty compared the list one by one and saw that there were still two attempts to get by.

Snorted coldly: "Qiao Shilang, Guanglu Shiqing?" ”

After the two ministers heard the name, they both knelt on their knees and begged for mercy, originally they still mustered up the courage to refuse to admit it, but the above list was there, and this group of people were begging for mercy.

"The circumstances are serious, causing hundreds of deaths, and the crime is unforgivable, then all the officials will be dismissed, including Gao Taishi and all those involved in corruption and bribery, and all the families will be assigned to the frontier, and the first offender will be beheaded after the autumn."

"The emperor spared the life of the old minister, thinking about the past feelings, spare your life!" Gao Taishi's roaring voice begged for mercy to Emperor Ming Xuan.

But Emperor Ming Xuan glanced at it coldly, "If it weren't for the thought of the imperial concubine, it would not be an exaggeration to execute the bloodstained guilt of the imperial master." ”

When Gao Taishi heard the imperial concubine, he stopped cooking, because this is the only backer of the Gao family, and he can't be implicated, if the imperial concubine falls, then the entire Gao family will never turn over.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty saw that he was interested, "Prime Minister Lin, there are also official positions in the transaction to be handled by you, and they will all be severely punished, and all these sinners will be put on death row, so let's retire from the court if there is nothing to do." ”

Those ministers all sent the emperor to the emperor, and there were many discussions in the court behind them, it seems that not only the previous dynasty has changed the sky, but the harem is estimated to be in chaos.

After returning to the harem, Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty went to the Qianqing Palace, and after a while, Prime Minister Lin Cheng met him.

"Xingyu, this can be regarded as making those people honest." Emperor Ming Xuan was full of smiles, and there was still a look of anger in the court.

"It's still Your Majesty's cleverness, so it's broken in one fell swoop." Prime Minister Lin also complimented with a smile.

"You go to inspect the officials who are promoted below, and then give me the list, it will be hard for you!"

"Speaking of hardship, the last time His Majesty promised to be a minister, he has not fulfilled his promise." Prime Minister Lin Cheng said with a smile, that expression was particularly annoying.

"You foodie, when did I promise you, forget it, it's cheaper for you, Xiao Anzi, go to Concubine Chun and ask her to cook some meals, I'll accompany her to eat, make more."

Gonggong An hurriedly walked towards Mingyu Palace.

Only Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty and Prime Minister Lin Cheng were left in the Qianqing Palace, and suddenly Prime Minister Lin Cheng seemed to think of something, and his face was slightly constricted.

"Your Majesty, the king of the northwest may have moved." Prime Minister Lin Cheng said it.

Emperor Ming Xuan's smile was slowly contained, the king of the northwest, it seemed that he still refused to give up, called the secret guard, and asked people to keep an eye on the king of the northwest's every move.

"If he seeks death, it will fulfill him." Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty said without emotion.

The two talked about something else.

And here in Mingyu Palace, after Mo Cha listened to Grandpa An, he had a somewhat sweet and shy smile on his face, if it was someone else, he would probably think about it, and wanted to become the emperor and Prime Minister Lin Cheng to treat her as a cook, but Mo Cha knew that Emperor Ming Xuan meant the kind of thing to entertain friends and introduce her to his brother, which was a manifestation of fancy to her.

Mocha asked Shui Yue and the others to prepare the ingredients and eat hot pot at night.

The imperial concubine who knew the news in Litang Palace stumbled to the Qianqing Palace to ask to see Emperor Ming Xuan, but Emperor Ming Xuan did not see her, and the imperial concubine had no choice but to go back.

After the emperor finished dealing with the folds, he asked people to ask for ink tea.

Mo Cha also knew that Mingyu Palace was a harem, and men from outside the dynasty could not enter it at will, so he had already asked Shui Yue and the others to prepare and directly bring the ingredients to the Qianqing Palace.

Wait for the ink tea to mix all the hot pot seasonings and divide them into two pots, one side is a red soup spicy pot and the other side is a clear soup and bone broth, separated by a mandarin duck pot.

There were all kinds of food on the table that could be simmered, and Prime Minister Lin asked about the irritating spicy smell in the air, and he sneezed twice in a row.

Emperor Xuan of Ming also laughed at him, "Xingyu, wait a minute, you probably won't be able to enjoy such deliciousness." ”

The mutual ridicule of the two shocked Mo Cha, looking at the demeanor of the two, she made up tens of thousands of words of rotten novels in her brain, and stared at the two of them with bright eyes.

Xu is eyes were too warm, Emperor Ming Xuan looked at Mocha a little strangely, and pulled her jealously, "Ai Concubine, I can't be unsightly→_→"

Mocha blushed and covered her face shyly, she couldn't explain that she didn't look at Prime Minister Lin, but Y.Y, but she couldn't say it, and she would probably suffer if she said it.

When Prime Minister Lin saw this scene, he had a new understanding of ink tea, and he thought he was a charming and charming person, but he found out that he was out of the dust at the banquet, and now he found out that he was a simple, pure and shy child, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a child, he is almost ten years old from Emperor Ming Xuan.

After taking their seats, looking at the bottom of the tumbling pot and smelling the domineering spicy smell, the three of them only felt that saliva was secreting in their mouths.

Mo Cha soaked the meat in the spicy pot, and then boiled the vegetables in the clear soup pot, Emperor Ming Xuan ate it and knew how to operate, but Prime Minister Lin Cheng first watched their actions and then did it himself.

He soaked a piece of mutton, the spicy and fragrant taste, and the smooth meat quality instantly captured his heart.

The three of them drank fruit brew while their mouths were hot, and they were hearty.
