"Is that true?" The Emperor's anger had reached its peak, and he tried to keep his composure, confirming to Wen Qiao again. Wen Qiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, nodded silently. The room fell into a brief calm, and in less than a minute, the entire room was filled with the emperor's voice, "Xuanjiang Cheng enters the palace!"

The emperor sat down heavily on the stool, he reached out and rubbed his forehead, squinted his eyes and lowered his head, after relieving himself a little, he looked at Wen Qiao in this posture, and said in a heavy tone: "Wen Qiao, I handed over the affairs of Fuzhou to you, and this is how you did it to me?" How many days have it been! Instead of making a little progress, you're still giving birth to something like this!"

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Xiang Gexing hurriedly asked someone to pour a cup of tea, he bent his knees and handed it to the emperor, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, let's dissipate our anger first." The most important thing now is to find out about this matter first. ”

After persuading the emperor to Gexing, he asked Wen Qiao again: "Shizi, do you have any doubts about the grain and grass contract?" Although the emperor's reaction was very angry, he didn't say a word of suspicion about Wen Qiao at all, and Xiang Gexing asked him directly, so Wen Qiao felt a little better.

If the emperor is still willing to believe in him at this time, then what he needs to do next will be easier. "Alright, get up." The emperor glanced at Wen Qiao, who was still kneeling on the ground, and said loudly. Wen Qiao didn't refuse, and stood up directly.

He stood in front of the emperor and told the emperor everything that happened this time, and finally said: "The minister thinks that there must be something wrong with Jiang Cheng, but he will definitely quibble later." Now the grain ministers who have been transferred are still kept in place, and if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can directly send someone to check it. ”

The emperor waved his hand, and he said: "Let people check the matter of the grain and grass being transferred first, what is the situation in Fuzhou now?" If the grain and grass are gone, they can continue to send it over, but the situation in Fuzhou is related to the lives of the people, and once this matter is done wrong, there is no point of recovery.

Wen Qiao replied, "The minister has already asked Lord Zhang to transport the remaining grain back to Fuzhou first." After handing over the situation in Fuzhou to the agent, the chamberlain who had just been sent by the emperor to deliver the message came in from outside, "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang has already arrived at the imperial study." ”

The emperor didn't say that the others were in the Tai Hospital just now, and according to the usual practice, Jiang Cheng was taken to the imperial study by the chamberlain. The emperor's eyes swept a glance at the attendant who came in to pay respects, then got up and said, "Let's go, I want to see what kind of explanation you want to give me about this matter today!"

This was said to Wen Qiao. Wen Qiao blinked an eye again, and the emperor had already followed Xiang Gexing out. Wen Qiao had no choice but to quickly put on the robe placed next to the bed, and then followed the emperor's footsteps. When he arrived at the imperial study, Jiang Cheng, who was wearing an official uniform, was standing at the door.

"Your Majesty." Jiang Cheng saluted the emperor. The emperor glanced at him with slanted eyes, pointed to the closed door of the imperial study, and said, "Go in first."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng lowered his head and replied. The door of the imperial study was opened by the chamberlain, and the emperor walked in the front, and Xiang Gexing followed the emperor one step behind. After that, Wen Qiao, whose face was still a little pale, and finally Jiang Cheng.

There was a dull sound when the door of the imperial study was closed, and the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the entire imperial study was filled with a depressing and majestic momentum. There was only a few steps between Wen Qiao and Jiang Cheng, and the emperor's gaze pressed on Jiang Cheng, making him seem to be afraid of the emperor's appearance.

The emperor looked at Jiang Cheng for a while, and suddenly asked, "Jiang Cheng, have you successfully escorted the grain and grass?" Jiang Cheng arched his hand to the emperor and replied, "Your Majesty, the minister has successfully escorted the grain and grass to Linzhou according to your orders, and has already made a good handover with Lord Wen."

After he finished speaking, as if he had just noticed Wen Qiao, he asked in surprise: "Isn't Lord Wen supposed to be in Fuzhou to deal with the flood at this time, why did he appear in the capital?" Wen Qiao glanced at Jiang Cheng silently, as if he was asking Jiang Cheng why he was knowingly asking.

"Really?" The emperor asked again, "What happened to the grain and grass being transferred?" After speaking, the emperor directly slapped the case heavily, and his tone was filled with monstrous anger, "Jiang Cheng, you are so bold!"

"Your Majesty?" Jiang Cheng was so frightened that he knelt on the ground subconsciously, a trace of puzzlement and surprise flashed on his face, and finally his eyes turned to Wen Qiao, and said, "At that time, Lord Wen personally inspected the grain and grass, how could he suddenly be transferred now?"

"Why was it suddenly transferred?" The emperor asked rhetorically, "Then this is going to ask you!"

The emperor was furious, and Jiang Cheng's body began to tremble, "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister really doesn't!"

"Your Majesty!" The door of the imperial study was opened from the outside again, and the personal attendant beside the emperor hurriedly walked in, he walked quickly to the emperor's side, and said a word in a low voice. The emperor frowned, and a displeased expression appeared on his face, "Why did he come here at this time?"

The chamberlain leaned over the emperor again and said, "Let him in first." These words moved Wen Qiao's heart, and the chamberlain listened to the order and walked out quickly to invite someone.

When Wen Qiao came back to his senses again, there was already an additional person in a black robe in the imperial study.

The three princes still exuded an oppressive aura from top to bottom, Wen Qiao turned his head sideways to look, and just received the eyes of the three princes. Then the voice of the third prince sounded in the hall, "Yo, the prince is also here?"

"Can you still make some facts?" On the dragon chair, the emperor frowned slightly and looked at the three princes below. The third prince saluted the emperor first, "The son has seen his father. After being called out by the emperor, the third prince saw several other people in the imperial study, and said with a slightly surprised tone: "It turns out that my father is discussing business, is it not a coincidence that the son is here?"

The emperor is getting older year by year, and the heirs around him have been injured and disabled in recent years, and a large number of royal families have finally fallen into a withered situation. The third prince, as a prince who is still stable and safe to this day, has made the emperor feel that it is not easy.

In addition, he didn't care too much about the three princes in the past, and since he deliberately promoted the three princes, he has become more and more indulgent to the three princes.

After listening to the words of the third prince who didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the emperor did not answer, but called Jiang Cheng, who was still kneeling, "Jiang Cheng, from beginning to end, only you and a few people from the treasury are preparing, do you want me to call the people from the treasury again?"

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Cheng knelt down and made a big salute directly to the emperor, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister really doesn't have it."

"Father? What did Master Jiang do wrong?" The third prince chuckled and blinked, and asked. He has always looked like a yin owl, but at this time, he suddenly smiled, which made people feel a little naïve from this.
