Chapter 61: Great Changes (2)

The moment she touched his eyes, she only felt a little soreness at the corners of her eyes. She has never been a sentimental person, but for some reason, when she saw her father like this today, she couldn't help but cry.

Lady Snow whispered to her, "Mo'er! What is it to cry well? But feeling uncomfortable? Mother, send someone to invite Lang Zhong! As he spoke, he left the bed, but Yun Sleeve was tightly dragged by Yumo, and his feet froze, so he had to turn around to look at her.

"Mother, Mo'er is fine. It's just that I'm blinded by the wind. Yumo wiped the tears from his cheeks with his sleeves, and the corners of his mouth smiled in an attempt to hide the uneasiness in his heart.

Jiang Chengze looked at their mother and daughter, his long beard trembled slightly, as if he had something to say, but he didn't know how to say it. Seeing Yumo crying, the embarrassment on his face became a little heavier, he was also a powerful figure in the Southern Chu State in his life, less than forty years old, he was already in the high position of prime minister, and he had enjoyed the honor and favor for nearly twenty years. At present, due to the disaster relief in Pingzhou, the late festival is not guaranteed.

Although Emperor Fuxuan remembered his past exploits and did not pursue them vigorously, the future and glory of the Jiang family had already been cut off in his hands.

After pondering for a long time in his heart, he flicked his wide sleeves and finally spoke: "Mo'er, the Pingzhou case has been solved." Although his father has nothing to do with the corruption of disaster relief funds, he cannot escape the crime of being ineffective, and today the court has asked for the confiscation of all family property for the relief of the victims of the disaster in Pingzhou. As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced around at Yumo's boudoir, and said after a moment: "The emperor has contributed to the society in his father's life, so he does not have to suffer from imprisonment for his father." But my father was ashamed and had asked himself to return to his hometown and never return to Beijing. Since the Pingzhou case, he has often been haunted by nightmares in the middle of the night, and all he can see is the souls of those 20,000 people who froze to death......" Speaking of this, Jiang Chengze had already choked up and could not continue.

When Yumo heard the sound, his heart trembled slightly, and when he looked up, he saw the mist in his father's eyes, and he was beating his chest and sighing, with a look of guilt.

Mrs. Xue also sighed: "The matter has come to this, the husband still wants to open some!" The concubine heard from the herald from the household department that tomorrow Li Shangshu will personally lead people to the mansion to count, and then this garden will ......" said after a pause, and then said, "Now that Mo'er is unwell, it is better to quickly ask Zhuying to go outside to find a place to live." ”

Jiang Chengze shook his head and waved his hand, "No need." There are no valuable things in the Xu Garden, and I will explain to Li Shangshu that Mo'er just needs to recuperate. When the count is complete, we will return to our hometown immediately. ”

Father and mother said a word, Yumo was already full of shock, and suddenly looked sideways at Jiang Chengze, his eyes were complicated and puzzled.

"Daddy! Mo'er doesn't want to leave the capital! She knew that she shouldn't be at such an urgent moment, but ...... But last night...... His words were still in his ears last night, and if she had left like this, wouldn't they have been able to live again?

Mrs. Xue was stunned, stepped forward to hold her hand, and persuaded softly: "Silly child! My father and mother have returned to their hometowns, why are you left alone in the capital? "Knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, Yumo is her only child, how can she not know her thoughts, but in this situation, I am afraid that it can only make her break her thoughts early.

Although Jiang Chengze knew that Yumo and King Qin had a deep relationship, he didn't want her to be obsessed to such a point. At present, in order to protect himself, he has lost his official position and wealth, how can she, the daughter of a criminal minister, still have a ...... with King Qin

At this point, the scenes in the court today appeared in Jiang Chengze's mind again like a tide.

At that time, Jiang Chengze slowly walked into the Xuanhe Hall in the surprise of the ministers, leaned over and bowed his head and shouted: "The criminal minister Jiang Chengze greets my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

In the center of the Golden Palace, Emperor Fuxuan sat on the dragon chair in a bright yellow dragon-patterned brocade robe, his expression was slightly sluggish, he waved his sleeves and waved his hand, and said lightly: "Aiqing is exempt!" I heard that Aiqing was introspecting in the house because of the Pingzhou case, why did she suddenly go to court today? But something to do? "Emperor Fuxuan has always been very kind to Jiang Chengze, but this time he heard that the Pingzhou case was somewhat involved with him, but he never really blamed him.

When all the ministers in the palace heard this, they were all slightly surprised. Thinking about it, their emperor still attaches great importance to this prime minister, who has been removed from office for many days.

Jiang Chengze saw that the emperor was courteous to him, and he felt even more remorseful in his heart, and raised his head tremblingly and handed the middle of his sleeve to the attendant in front of the holy car, but still bowed his head and kowtowed, claiming that he was guilty and did not dare to get up.

Emperor Fu Xuan took the fold, lowered his head and glanced at it, then threw the fold on the case, and said: "In the Pingzhou case, Qing is guilty of being ineffective. It's just that Qing is my minister of the humerus of Southern Chu, how can I return to my hometown because of this incident and no longer serve the court? According to me, the punishment and confiscation of family property as mentioned in the Qing excerpt is acceptable for Pingzhou relief. As for what Qing said about returning to his hometown, he will never return to Beijing. ”

The monarch and the minister have worked together for nearly 30 years, and Jiang Chengze naturally does not want to give up Jun'en, but this case involves a wide range of people, if he does not retreat bravely at this time, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. At that time, I am afraid that if he wants to get out of the way, he will have no chance.

He was bowing his head and thinking in a daze, and Prince Xuanyuan Lang couldn't help but take a step forward, leaned over to salute, and said, "Father Emperor Shengming!" The prime minister's life achievements, how can he abandon the people of the world because of just a few disaster victims? In any case, please don't talk about the old man lightly! As he spoke, he turned around and walked to Jiang Chengze's side, personally helped him up, and whispered in his ear, "Uncle Yue, don't worry!" I have already arranged this matter, even if Li Chengru is arrested, he will not be able to pursue his father-in-law. What's more, I still have a trump card in my hand......" At the end, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips and chuckled.

Jiang Chengze stroked his long beard lightly, was stunned, and brushed his sleeves and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Wu Yizhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has a book to play! The Pingzhou case is a matter of great importance. Weichen was instructed to thoroughly investigate the case, and fortunately, with the full assistance of His Royal Highnesses King Qin and King Rui, he was able to find out the case in just a few days. Yesterday, the former Pingzhou governor Yin Li Chengru, who absconded, has been arrested, and he has confessed to the motive of the crime, the process and who instigated it. Wu Yizhong handed over the fold in his hand with a solemn face, and the chamberlain quickly took it and respectfully sent it to Emperor Fuxuan.

As soon as Wu Yizhong's words came out, the atmosphere in the Xuanhe Hall was suddenly solemn.

King Xuanyuan Che of Qin was dressed in a navy blue court robe, his expression was indifferent as usual, and he couldn't see his emotions.

Rui Wang Xuanyuan Qing beside him nodded slightly towards Wu Yizhong, but when his eyes touched Jiang Chengze in the hall, there was a faint sense of sadness.

Prince Xuanyuan Lang was as white as paper, his hand in his wide sleeves had already been clenched into a fist, and his sideways eyes skimmed into King Qin's eyes, a touch of ruthlessness faintly flashed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned as if he was smiling.

All the ministers bowed their heads in unison, with serious expressions, just waiting for the emperor to give instructions after reading the recital.
