When Fuyi returned to Yuhengxuan, the third lady had already left, and soon the sisters also returned from their lunch break, and they continued to lecture in the afternoon.

Because of other worries, until the class was dismissed before sunset, Fu Yi didn't notice Qin Ying's thoughts, thinking that her aunt came to Yuhengxuan at noon to compensate her instead of Pingli, so she didn't think much about it.

At sunset, Ping Jue returned on time, Zhu Rong sat down, and his younger brother showed him an article.

"You wrote that?" Zhu Rong was interested, but his eyes swept over a few lines, but his heart was dull.

"It's my father's article when he was young." Ping Jue said, "Today, the master took it to give a lecture, and finally told us that it was my father's study in the past. ”

Zhu Rong didn't look at it anymore, he had learned it when he was as old as Pingli, and he could recite it backwards.

Ping Jue said: "I will write better articles than my father to pass them on on his behalf." ”

Zhu Xiao asked: "My father's article is not good, so I have to replace him?" ”

Ping Jue responded: "The third sister-in-law once said that the blue is better than the blue, and the family and the country have a future. Brother, you also studied this article, you didn't think about writing another article to replace your father when you were a child? ”

Zhu Rong seriously recalled the past and said: "I didn't think about it, but I also wrote a lot of articles, since I was not retained by the school, it proves that my brother is not as good as my father." ”

After a little hesitation, Ping Jue asked: "Father is not the champion of the year, but you are, brother, I have always wanted to ask, was it really my father's personal fraud in the scientific examination back then, and pushed you all the way to the top of the palace examination?" ”

Zhu Rong asked: "What if it is, what if it is not?" ”

Ping Jue was asked: "I am ...... Curious. ”

Zhu Rong said: "Jue'er, you do your own learning, be loyal to your king, whether you are better than the blue, not in a few articles, don't do small things, and you can't get along with yourself." As for my brother's fame, you can tell everyone about this glory generously, and look forward to doing better in the future. I don't know what my father did, but I have a clear conscience about my fame. ”

Ping Jue was deeply moved, sat back on his seat, and only then opened the book, and saw the next person come to pass the word, saying that the second aunt was here and wanted to see the third son.

"Brother, I'll read the book myself first." Ping Jue was very well-behaved, "You go to see the second brother-in-law." ”

Outside Yuhengxuan, Min Yanshi was in a hurry, and when he met, he said, "Say a few words, I will leave immediately." ”

Zhu Rong asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Min Yanshi asked: "I just heard today that after you were in charge of the manufacture of firearms, you changed all the purchases of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Zhu Rongying: "It's changed, but it's not my personal opinion, what's wrong?" ”

Min Yanshi said: "I always thought that setting fire to the manufacturing place would either be a demonstration to the emperor or persecution of you, but now I have another idea, is it not whose interests are you moving?" ”

Zhu Rong thoughtfully: "If you say that......"

Min Yanshi said: "I'll check it now, if there are accounts to check, there will definitely be clues." ”

Zhu Rong asked: "Isn't there a clue, after the fire in the eldest princess's mansion, there were suspicious people coming and going?" ”

Min Yanshi said: "One of the links in the interests of the eldest princess is the eldest princess's mansion, before finding out the truth, no clues should be let go." ”

Zhu Rong no longer had any scruples, and said: "The manufacture of firearms involves not only the interests of gold and silver, but also the concubine, the four princes, and the Min family......"

Min Yanshi looked indifferent: "I have already checked, although I have nothing to do with it, but I can't be implicated by them in a vague way, how do you treat my uncle, how I treat my family, fortunately, they have no ability and can't turn the sky upside down." ”

At dinner, the couple talked about it and listened quietly, while seeing another emotion in the husband's eyes.

Since the incident, they have not picked each other, but she can feel that Zhu Rong is very nervous.

If this matter is involved with the father-in-law, even if the emperor is his own brother-in-law, it will be difficult to get unreserved trust in the future, and no matter how bad it is, it will affect the status of the eldest sister in the middle palace.

After the meal, neither of them spoke.

As the night wore on, the husband and wife lived in the same room, but they each did their own thing, so quiet that it was as if they did not exist for each other, until the sound of hurried footsteps outside broke the silence, and a gust of wind rushed in, shouting loudly: "Brother, look! ”

Zhu Rong stepped forward: "How can you break into the bedroom, your sister-in-law is here." ”

Fu Yi followed: "It's okay, Pingli, what did you find?" ”

Pingli put down several thick account books: "I caught the male pet who had an affair with the play, and served the eldest princess for many years, he didn't know what the eldest princess did, he only knew that this was the strictest and most cautious thing she guarded, and he stunned the eldest princess and stole it out." Qin Hao looked at it, and he said that the accounts recorded on it, these things can be used to make weapons and artillery, brother, take a look. ”

Zhu Ronglang called for controversy: "Go and invite the second aunt to come, if you are not at home, you will be in the household department." ”

Fu Yi lit the candle for Zhu Rong to read carefully, and he also took a book to read, although he didn't know what these things bought and sold in the account could be used for, but the amount of money in and out was huge, and it was definitely not a business.

"I've hid someone, and it's a dead end for him to go back." Pingli said, "Brother, I promised to give him back his freedom, let him leave the capital with his good actors, and when he goes back to raid the eldest princess's mansion, can you do this for me?" ”

Zhu Rong bowed: "If I forget, remember to remind me." ”

Soon after, Min Yanshi arrived, and there was another help and a reliable account room at home to help, and several people stayed up all night to check the accounts of the eldest princess's mansion over the years, colluding with the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War and officials from various places to corrupt and pervert the law in the manufacture of firearms, and check the old accounts of the household department.

At dawn, insisting on waiting for the results of the reason, Zhu Rong had already slept and shouted loudly, Zhu Rong covered the blanket that his younger brother had kicked off, and blew out the candles on the low table.

Min Yanshi washed his face, walked over after straightening his appearance, and said, "I'll go back and take a look at Yunzhi, I'm afraid that she will worry, and then I'll go to Taiwei's Mansion." The matter is very wide-ranging, and it is all the old accounts left by the first emperor, and if you want to calculate, the court will be in shock. Quickly, a holy decree can arrest the raider, but if there are concerns, the emperor will throw a mouse bogey, and there will be no bottom. ”

Zhu Rong said: "I'm waiting for your news, if the advice fails, I will ask you to enter the palace." ”

Min Yanshi bowed his head, and when he saw Fuyi coming, he said his hard work and left in a hurry.

"Fuyi, go to sleep." Zhu Rong felt sorry for his wife, "You are tired." ”

However, Fuyi looked at her husband's eyes more and more brightly, and the clouds that had condensed these days dissipated, and she was happy in her heart.

This matter has nothing to do with Zhu Chengqian from beginning to end, and the Duke's Mansion can stay out of it, so he must be greatly relieved.

The eldest lady is the burden and shadow that presses on the eldest sister's heart, and Zhu Chengqian is also rooted in his son's heart.

Suddenly, a bang startled Fu Yi, Zhu Rong subconsciously protected her, and the two followed the sound.

I saw that Pingli rolled down from the couch, and the person who woke up jumped up with a carp and put on a confrontational posture, the sleep marks pressed on his face seemed to be sleepy, but his eyes were murderous.

Zhu Rong couldn't help laughing, and the laughter came out of Qingqiu Pavilion, which was the most hearty laugh he had ever had in these days.

Let's say that Min Yanshi's words, with the habit of serving the first emperor, unconsciously were too cautious and cautious, forgetting that the current emperor has walked through the ghost gate, and in his eyes, it is a joke.

Early in the morning, Qin Taiwei checked the accounts provided by several young people, and with the clues he had found before, Shi Zhan quickly wrote down the memorabilia, and rushed to the court, and the above table reported the impeachment headed by the eldest princess of Yongqing, a part of the royal family and nobles and officials at all levels and regions were involved, and the first emperor was in power, and the military budget corruption lasted for ten years.

In the list, several officials of the dynasty were among them, and they fell to the ground in fright, Xiang Qi mercilessly ordered the forbidden army to drag people out of the main hall, and ordered Qin Taiwei to thoroughly investigate the matter, and to detain all the royal officials registered in Beijing within one day.

Some ministers admonished that they were worried that it would cause panic among the people and be harmful to the governance of the capital.

Xiang Qi said loudly: "The people hate corrupt officials the most, and they are afraid of anything in the capital, but they are not afraid of the court catching corruption, so I will detain all the people first, and then I will deal with them separately." ”

The new monarch acted resolutely, and the news reached the Duke's Palace, and he issued a decree to exempt Zhu Rong from his grounding and summon him to the palace for an audience.

When Zhu Rong received the order, Fuyi was already asleep, he kissed Fuyi's cheek, folded the quilt for her, and left in a hurry.

At this moment, the carriage that sent the girl to school in the Qin Mansion also arrived, Qin Ying got out of the car, looked at Zhu Rong who was gone in the distance, and looked up at the door plaque of the Duke's Palace, and saw the servants in the palace greeting her, she also tried to raise a smile: "There are many officers and soldiers on the road, we are delayed." ”
