Chapter 142: The Truth of the Divine Decree
Unexpectedly, she still alarmed Concubine Hua in the end, and the speed of transferring the disaster silver was fast enough.
If there is no evidence to prove that Concubine Hua and Zhao Yihai are the masterminds of embezzlement of disaster silver, their Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion will really fall into the Yellow River and will not be able to clear the charge of corruption, and even the eldest brother will be executed.
Shang Kelan fell silent, she hung her head slightly, and her face was solemn.
Gardenia bit her lip and stepped forward and said, "Niangniang, let the slave go and get the disaster silver back, you can't risk your body anymore!" ”
Shang Kelan raised her eyes, shook her head at her, and said: "No, the matter is big, this palace must personally retrieve the disaster silver, besides, Concubine Hua seems to know everything about the movements of this palace, and this palace suspects that there are her spies in Xianya Palace." ”
On the side, Wen Chun frowned and said, "The slave maid will let Gonggong Fu check it later." ”
That's right, Forp!
Shang Kelan had a flash of inspiration in her mind, took Gardenia's hand, looked directly at her and said, "Let Fupu follow you, with him, this palace can be much more relieved." ”
After experiencing these things, she also saw Fupu's ability, and with Fupu's help, it must be much smoother to retrieve the disaster silver.
Gardenia nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, the slave will definitely get the disaster money back with Father-in-law Fu!" ”
I wonder if Your Majesty has sent someone to look for the disaster silver?
At this time, Shang Kelan thought of Jin Yantang.
It's just that her body is too weak after all, and after discussing this matter with Gardenia, Shang Kelan lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Unitary time, the imperial study.
Fu Qingxi walked in with a young man about twenty-five years old, who was wearing the official uniform of a civil official of the third grade.
"Your Majesty, the servants of the Ministry of Officials ask to see you."
After Fu Qingxi brought people to the main hall, he respectfully bent down and saluted Jin Yantang.
Jin Yantang rubbed his eyebrows, put down the brush, raised his eyes and said, "You can step down." ”
"Yes."
Fu Qingxi left the imperial study and closed the door, although he was guarding the door, he kept an eye on the movements in the imperial study.
After the people left, Jin Yantang motioned for him to sit down in front of the bookcase on the left, and asked, "Chen Shilang, has the matter of Concubine Jia's canonization of the Holy Decree come to fruition?" ”
Chen Shilang arched his hand and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has found out that the holy decree was written by the Governor of Yangzhou Li to imitate your notes, and the Governor Li bribed the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to change the canonization decree of the county lord of Jinyang, and the minister also found out that these people were instructed by Concubine Hua to do this. ”
But why did Concubine Hua help Concubine Jia?
Jin Yantang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender and powerful fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and then asked, "Is there a whereabouts of the disaster silver?" ”
Chen Shilang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is handled by Dali Temple, and the minister has checked Shang Gongzi's confession, and there is no mention of where the disaster money is." ”
Hearing this, Jin Yantang frowned slightly: If this is the case, then Shang Kelin is either hard-mouthed, or he really didn't do anything to bend the law for bribes and disregard people's lives.
But if it wasn't Shang Kelin, who would it be?
Jin Yantang was thoughtful, but in fact, in his heart, the balance of doubt had already tilted towards Concubine Hua and Zhao Yihai. Qiandu Chinese Network
Seeing that he was silent, Chen Shilang thought about it, got up and came to Jin Yantang, took out a few folds from his arms and handed them to him, and said respectfully: "In addition, these are the folds that the minister secretly intercepted in the ministry, and the content on them should be seen for yourself." ”
As he spoke, he took a few steps back and stood aside, hunched to the side.
Jin Yantang lowered his eyes and glanced at the folds on the table, and then opened it to read, he looked at ten lines at a glance, and after reading one book after another, the corners of Jin Yantang's eyes couldn't help twitching.
"Ridiculous!"
He couldn't help but spit out these two words heavily, and threw them back on the table without mercy.
These excerpts are all written on the excerpts that ask him to demote the concubine to the throne of Concubine Chen, and in addition, some excerpts also place some trumped-up charges on Zuo Xiang's head.
As if to say yes, these officials actually used him as an excuse to set off a new wave of the draft again, saying that it was time to add some beauties to the palace to pass on the lineage for him and continue the bloodline of the Great Zhou.
But now that the situation is unstable, the victims have not yet settled down, and the famine disasters in various places have not been resolved, these officials want him to live a faint life of big fish and meat, and completely treat him as the second emperor!
Chen Shilang lowered his head and couldn't help but smile, and then coughed and said: "The ministers have followed His Majesty all the way to this position, and these courtiers have indeed exceeded their qualifications and age, please let Your Majesty be angry." ”
Jin Yantang rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and said: "Tomorrow morning, if those old stubborn people mention the matter of letting me be drafted, you can cover up for me, and settle the victims in the country first." ”
Chen Shilang pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty, the draft is only once every three years, according to the rules, you should indeed choose a concubine to fill the harem, besides, there is an imperial concubine in your harem, and the imperial concubine was impeached by the ministers; There is only one concubine, and there is only one concubine, and now you are grounded, tomorrow morning, I'm afraid Governor Li will ask you for an explanation! ”
Speaking of Jin Yantang's tragic situation, Chen Shilang couldn't help but shake his head, but there was a playfulness in his eyes.
Jin Yantang glanced at him coldly and said, "If you can't block the draft for me tomorrow, I will send you to the West to be a foreign envoy." ”
Suddenly, Chen Shilang's face changed, he got up hurriedly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is reasonable, and the minister also feels that Your Majesty is choosing a concubine too early now, and the people should be the priority, and the minister will go to investigate the matter of the disaster silver!" ”
As soon as the words fell, afraid that Jin Yantang would use him as a punching bag, Chen Shilang hurriedly retired.
It's just that after he left, the expression on Jin Yantang's face gradually sank, and he returned to an indifferent look.
He rubbed the jade wrench in his hand, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Why did Concubine Hua help Han'er write that holy decree?" ...... between Han'er and Concubine Hua What kind of transactions were made? ”
As soon as night fell in the harem, the lights were bright, and after the red sleeves were killed by the cane, Ximeng Palace re-elected a palace maid in charge.
Zhao Kehan sat in front of the bookcase in the dormitory, slowly grinding ink on his hands, and at this time, a palace maid dressed in purple walked in and saluted her respectfully: "Niangniang, Concubine Chen's calligraphy has been found." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Kehan hooked his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Very good, Bai Shao, show her calligraphy to the palace." ”
Bai Peony is the name of this purple-clothed palace maid, her newly promoted palace maid.
As soon as she put the copybook in Zhao Kehan's hand, Zhao Kehan quickly flipped through the copybook.
On this copy, Concubine Chen's handwriting is beautiful and beautiful, like a fly's head, which is easy to imitate.
A dark glint flashed in Zhao Kehan's eyes, and then she put the notebook on the table, compared the handwriting on the notebook, she held a pen in her left hand, and slowly wrote a letter imitating Shang Kelan's handwriting.
The candlelight was swaying, the breeze was gradually rising, Bai Shao was waiting beside her, and when she saw that the wind was blowing outside, she was about to close the window, but Zhao Kehan suddenly stopped her.
"Bai Shao, give this letter to Xiao Ye of Xianya Palace, let her send it to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and in addition, buy a few guards and let them twist Xiao Ye to His Majesty."
Bai Shao carefully took the letter and said respectfully: "The slave obeys." ”
