Chapter 208: The Emperor is Angry

The flood in Lushui is getting more and more serious, in fact, the flood is not very serious at the beginning, all the forces in the court have been circling for a while, and the money, food and manpower for disaster relief have been transferred, because the above is more concerned, the levee that blocked the water was quickly built, but who expected that a few days ago a heavy rain, the new embankment collapsed, and the disaster was even more serious, so the assassin of Luzhou hurriedly reported urgently, and today's ministers of the early dynasty are discussing these.

"Your Majesty, the minister is playing!" An old man in a red robe walked out of the ranks: "According to the chief history of the subordinate of the Luzhou Thorn History, the Luzhou Thorn Shi reported that the Luzhou Thorn Shi embezzled money and grain, connived at his subordinates, and the new rice that the court had just allocated became Chen rice mixed with sand and soil in the hands of the people, and the 200,000 silver taels transferred down, a large amount of money is missing, and some time ago, when his subordinates were sent by the court to investigate thoroughly, the Thorn Shi deliberately shielded and obstructed, refused to hand over the account book, and did not allow the inspection, vague words, Wechen specially asked His Majesty to thoroughly investigate and punish the crime."

Shen Baizhou also stood on top of the court, he participated in the flood, and the history of the Luzhou assassin was also pulled up by him, seeing that someone dared to stand up and exclude his people, he was a little unhappy, his people have been suppressed these times, and now the other party is still biting, which makes Shen Baizhou even more worried.

"Your Majesty, the minister is against it." Seeing that the people on his side were suppressed, of course someone on Shen Baizhou's side wanted to stand up: "At present, the flood is serious, and the people in the affected areas are in turmoil, if the local officials are temporarily punished, it may cause panic, and besides, now that the disaster is affected, people's hearts are naturally impetuous, and there are indispensable people who chase after the wind and shadow and spread false rumors, if Your Majesty listens to the words of the villain, I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of loyal ministers!" The person who stood up spoke earnestly, and Zhou Zheng's face seemed to be full of concern for the country and the people.

"Humph!" As soon as they heard this voice, all the courtiers knew who it was. It's not that his official position is so high that everyone remembers, but he is a royal historian, and the family doesn't think about it, but this imperial historian, Master Li Kang, really makes everyone's hearts tremble, this Li Kang's personality is really strange, although he should be more active when he is a royal doctor, but this Li Kang also moves too much! From the concubine's birthday to the official's concubine to marry, the pomp is big, the cost is too much, and the style of life is not right, Lord Li Kang has to report it all, and he has to make sarcastic and ridiculous remarks, thanks to Li Kang There is nothing wrong with it, how many families can only watch Li Kang secretly grit their teeth, but there is no way.

"When this place is in chaos, villains will run rampant! What kind of chasing after the wind and shadows, with false rumors, when we are arguing here, then the history of Luzhou Thorn can be nourished! Weichen is also strange, why did this flood come, but the wife and concubine of the assassin Shi bought several clothes, decorated the mansion, and bought new slaves, Weichen really doesn't know, how did this flood become a "water blessing"? ”

Li Kang looked at the opposing courtier just now with sneering eyes, and the courtier's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and retreated.

The emperor in the palace was also in a bad mood, one or two of them were going to mess up, and his face was gloomy.

Shen Baizhou was furious in his heart, Luzhou Thorn History, when is it now, he has already said that he will be restrained, but that fool is still public, it is really yang and yin, but that Luzhou Thorn Shi is very good at "honoring" himself, if he is forced to be anxious, I don't know if he will implicate others, and he can only protect him.

Fortunately, Shen Baizhou's other people in the court immediately came out to interrupt, divert their attention, and gag, Shen Baizhou breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was a little better.

"Your Majesty, my son has something to report." Shen Huaijin also stood up with an indifferent face, the thorn history just now was just a small fish, and it was not too late to clean it up another day, but now there are more important people to deal with: "Langzhong Zhouguang of the Ministry of Engineering sent by the Luhe River flood embezzled the law, and the silver taels that cast the new embankment of the Luhe River were embezzled, and the heavy rain caused the dam to be eroded, which finally led to the collapse of the embankment, and the son asked for a strict investigation."

Shen Baizhou's face turned pale, but fortunately, Shen Huaijin stood in front of him and didn't see Shen Baizhou's expression. Zhou Guang, this is also Shen Baizhou's subordinate, this Luhe flood was not as serious as it is now, so Shen Baizhou also put some of his own people in it, one is to grow their qualifications, and the other is to ...... This recruitment of talents really needs funds, which faction of people in these things, do not make a lot of money, but this time Zhou Guang is really imprudent, and unlucky, this short time for the embankment with insufficient materials is of course short, but at that time Zhou Guang had already left that position, naturally he could find an excuse to prevaricate, but now that he encountered such a rain, the matter finally could not be hidden.

"Xu was the heavy rain that caused the dam to collapse, Your Highness may be a little anxious, hasn't the investigation started yet?" Shen Baizhou came out again to defend his henchmen.

Shen Baizhou suddenly stepped forward: "Erchen seconded the proposal, that Zhou Guang was so greedy, betrayed his father's trust, and caused disasters to the people, so he should be examined." Shen Baizhou's words shocked many people.

Shen Baizhou was actually angry in his heart, but he had to force himself to be more tolerant of Shen Huaijin, this Zhou Guang did make a big deal this time, if he tried his best to protect him, it was inevitable that he would not be implicated in the attack, and Shen Baizhou's eyes were dark, although Zhou Guang had a promising future, he became a Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry at a young age, but he would pay too much to protect him, Shen Baizhou remembered the plan that he secretly planned with Su Ruoyun, for Shen Huaijin, Su Zijin of Su Mansion was important, so he deliberately approached Su Ruoyun, If the hostility towards Shen Huaijin is too obvious at the moment, then this plan against Su Zijin is very likely to fail, and then all his plans will be in vain, so he has to endure it, and he has to wait until this matter hits Shen Huaijin hard.

"Alright, alright." The emperor was obviously angry, and as soon as he went to court today, those courtiers quarreled back and forth, and now there is finally a unified opinion: "Since Zhou Guang has done this way, then send someone to dismiss him and come back to review the conviction first!"

Everyone said yes again and again, and the turmoil and confrontation in the court finally ended with Zhou Guang, an unlucky ghost, being disposed of.

After the court dispersed, Shen Huaijin won the court and returned to the palace in a sedan chair.

At this time, in Shen Huaijin's study.

"Is this really true?" Shen Huaijinjun's face couldn't hide his joy.

The palace attendant was speechless in his heart: "Lord Wang, this is indeed a letter sent by Miss Su Zijin of Su Mansion." My own prince has seen it, why is he still so happy to ask!

"Prepare the horses!"

"Your Highness, you just came back from the court, why don't you take a break?"

"Go ahead, where are so many words." The squire finally went to prepare his horses.

Shen Huaijin's eyes were full of smiles, and when he thought of that woman with clear eyes, his heart was always extremely happy.
