Chapter 194: Confronting the Emperor, Who is afraid of whom!
Chu Junyi's eyes sank, and there was a trace of discomfort in his heart, what kind of virtue could that Baili Jinze be able to make Ning Hua care so much.
Although she hid it very well, he could still feel the hatred for Baili Jinze from her, that hatred was like magma hidden under the ice and snow, it seemed to be calm and unwavering, but in fact, his heart had been tyrannical and surging. If you don't care to the extreme, how can you have such a deep hatred, Ning Hua, what do you think?
Shen Ninghua saw Chu Jun stunned, and was a little strange: "What's wrong?" ”
"Huh? It's okay, I suddenly remembered something, Ning Hua, I heard Bai Wei say that you have slept late these days, but you can't sleep? You have injuries on your body, and you should rest more. ”
Shen Ninghua's expression was stunned, and a trace of unnaturalness flashed on her face: "It's okay, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”
Bai Wei pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss, not only has she slept late these days, but I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep early for the next period of time." ”
"What nonsense?" Shen Ninghua glared at her.
Bai Wei chuckled lightly and turned to serve refreshments.
Chu Junyi was curious, but when he saw Ning Hua's appearance, he didn't ask anymore, he just wanted to come over secretly at night to take a look. He chatted with Shen Ninghua for a while and then got up to leave, and did not go back to Xiao's house, but went directly to the government of the ministry.
It's time for all those people to gather.
The palace was full of officials, and many of them of slightly lower rank were standing outside the door.
As soon as Chu Junyi appeared, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him: "How come you adults have time to come over?" ”
In the palace, sitting at the top is Zhao Kun, the head of the Zhao family, next to him sits Lin Yue, the head of the Lin family, and the rest of the officials sit on both sides according to their ranks.
Chu Junyi sneered, and a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes: It's really a big battle, this dismount is really good, if it is an ordinary person, this will definitely be suppressed.
"Xia Guan has seen all your lords, but I don't know that the adults are coming, and I am not welcome, so I ask your lordships to forgive me."
"Lord Chu, I'm really busy, I don't know where I will go on business after I will no longer be on duty in the government after the next dynasty?" Lin Yue's expression was tense, his body looked extremely thin, but his eyes were exceptionally clear.
"It's inconvenient to tell Lord Lin where to go, and the adults also know that the lower officials are under the emperor's order, so they naturally want to do errands for the emperor all the time, and they don't dare to delay at all."
"It's that I've waited too much, Lord Chu is different from me."
Chu Junyi smiled: "It's no different, aren't they all working together for the emperor and working for the benefit of the people, ...... to talk about?"
"Lord Chu!" Lin Yue raised his voice to interrupt him, "Those high-minded talks can be talked about later, I have something to trouble Lord Chu when I come here." ”
"Adults, please." Because the relationship between the crown prince and the third prince is not good, the Zhao family and the Lin family have always been-for-tat, and now they choose to cooperate together in order to deal with him, I have to say that his face is really big.
"The emperor ordered you to investigate the matter of the Praetorian Guard, which can be said to be extremely important to adults, but how can you use your power for personal gain and declare personal vendettas!"
Chu Jun raised his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Where did you start with this?" ”
Lin Yue looked at Chu Junyi indifferently, and his voice was not slow: "Because the commander of the Praetorian Guard holds your handle, you will take advantage of the emperor's request to let you strictly check the gap of the Praetorian Guard, and directly correct him on the spot, isn't it intentional to kill people and kill people!" ”
Chu Junyi's expression was cold: "Lord Lin, there is no basis for what you say, if you don't have evidence, let's leave quickly, I am magnanimous and will not pursue your right to make false accusations, if there is evidence, then it is better, we will directly take it to the front of the palace to confront it." ”
Chu Junyi didn't care about the evidence in Lin Yue's mouth, and his tone was extraordinarily righteous and righteous.
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes: "Lord Chu, you can't take it back if you say this, are you sure you want to confront me and the emperor?" ”
Chu Junyi sneered on his lips: "It seems that Lord Lin must splash dirty water on my head, since this is the case, then I will continue, Lord Lin, please?" ”
Zhao Kun sat on the side, his eyes swayed, looking at Chu Junyi back and forth, he didn't hesitate at all, was he so confident that he could get out completely?
You must know that in officialdom, it doesn't matter whether a person is talented or innocent, what matters is what others say! Everyone is full of gold and ruined bones, since he has stepped into the officialdom, he doesn't even know this?
Chu Junyi stood straight, the look in his eyes was indifferent, these high-ranking officials and old men have done many things to reverse right and wrong on weekdays, and for so many years in the imperial court, I don't know how many good officials there are, because of their words, they have attracted the impeachment of many officials, obviously doing good things for the country and the people, but they have been tarnished, lost their lives, and even implicated their wives and children......
I want to knead him as a soft persimmon, and I want to weigh whether it will break their teeth!
Lin Yue smiled coldly: "Okay, since Lord Chu is obsessed, then we have to confront the emperor, not only will you be punished at that time, but I am afraid that even Princess Zhaohua will be implicated, I hope you still won't regret it at that time!" ”
Chu Junyi's face was expressionless, and his eyes mocked: "If you don't regret it after you get off the official, you won't have to worry about it." ”
There was such a big movement in the officials here, and Shen Ninghua quickly received the news.
"Bai Wei, help me change my clothes, let's go into the palace to visit my father."
"Yes, miss."
It's a good show, and those people should be thinking about pulling her into the water, so how could she not go and see it.
Shen Ninghua entered the palace first, and Baili Qingcang was closing his eyes in the study to recuperate.
"Why did you come here, didn't you say that you should take care of your injuries?"
Shen Ninghua smiled: "I heard that something big happened last night, and my son was worried about my father, so I came over to take a look." ”
Thinking of the Praetorian Guard, who had been cut in half, Baili Qingcang felt the pain in his forehead begin again: "Praetorian Guard...... My Praetorian Guard, I really didn't expect that it would be so eroded so badly, and those who were bought, in-laws, and co-opted to stand in line accounted for half of the Praetorian Guard, and I felt a chill in my heart when I thought of being protected by these people before. ”
"Father, since something has happened, it is a foregone conclusion, and thinking too much is nothing more than adding to your troubles. Now that the problem has been identified, it is enough to solve the problem. My father is the king of a country, and the vast world is governed very well, let alone a small Praetorian Guard? ”
"What do you little girl know, okay, I don't want these things, since you have entered the palace, you will accompany me to play a game of chess, and wait for dinner before leaving." Baili Qingcang smiled, but his heart was a lot more relaxed, yes, the huge world has been governed, not to mention a small Praetorian Guard!
Shen Ninghua's face froze: "Father, you obviously know that I am not the best at chess, and I lose every time, and you keep pulling me to play, isn't this a joke that you deliberately watched me?" ”
She complained in her mouth, but she took the chessboard from the palace maid's hand and straightened it, and directly took the sunspot over: "I'll go first." ”
"Haha, come to this trick every time, okay, the father will let you have three sons, you first."
Shen Ninghua smiled proudly: "I've been reading chess games a lot lately, and I've made a lot of progress. ”
"You girl who is not big or small!" Baili Qingcang glared at her, but there was not the slightest anger in his heart, since Jing Yan left, no one dared to talk to him like this, "If you can win, I will give you the white jade chessboard that I have collected for many years." ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes lit up: "Such a good thing, I'm welcome." ”
Lin Yue, Zhao Kun and others came to the front of the hall angrily, but they were blocked by the chief attendant: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has decreed that you are not allowed to disturb." ”
Lin Yue's eyes moved, and the officials on the side stepped forward: "Father-in-law, I have something important to come to see the emperor, and I hope that my father-in-law will report it." ”
"My lord, the emperor is playing chess with Princess Zhaohua at this time, and he said that he is not allowed to disturb, this is ...... Don't embarrass the villain. ”
Lin Yue's eyes tightened, and many officials on the side changed their faces.
The emperor is playing chess with Princess Zhaohua?
Chu Junyi smiled slightly, with Taoist warmth in his heart, this good daughter-in-law is a virtuous helper!
Lin Yue frowned and stiffened his face, suddenly knelt on the ground suddenly, and shouted: "Weichen asks to see the emperor, there is something important to report!" ”
The officials behind him hurriedly knelt down together and shouted: "Weichen asks to see the emperor, there is something important to report!" ”
In the main hall, Baili Qingcang's fingers paused, and the fingers holding Baizi tightened, and the chess pieces made of jade made a slight creaking sound.
Shen Ninghua got up: "Father, since a minister asks to see you, the minister will retire first." ”
"No, you can sit here, I don't have to think about it to know what they're going to do!" Baili Qingcang's face was covered with a layer of cold frost, "Announce them in!" ”
Everyone entered the door in a big way, and saw Shen Ninghua standing at the bottom of the steps, with different expressions on his face.
Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
Baili Qing's face was as cold as ice: "This will be neat, what are you doing?" ”
Lin Yue stepped forward: "Your Majesty, Weichen ......"
Chu Junyi opened his mouth to interrupt him: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin went to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials with all the adults, and after reprimanding the lower officials, he said that he had the handle of the lower officials in his hands, and the lower officials boasted that they were acting correctly and standing at the end of the position, so they confronted the emperor with all the adults and asked the emperor to discern it." ”
Baili Qingcang's cold eyes swept over the kneeling officials on the ground: "It's a coincidence, you alone have a handle, and you actually let the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen is also very strange, what kind of handle can make everyone know?"
Shen Ninghua chuckled in his heart, what everyone knows is not called a handle, but an ordinary thing.
Baili Qingcang looked at Lin Yue: "Tell me, what kind of handle is it?" ”
Lin Yue had some bad premonitions in his heart: "Back to the emperor, Chu Junyi has a huge amount of silver taels in his hands, and has had close contacts with Jiangnan officials many times, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard was aware of it before his death, and has been collecting evidence, and he doesn't want Chu Junyi to know, so he actually took advantage of this time when the emperor ordered him to investigate the matter of the Praetorian Guard, announce his personal vendetta, and kill the dignified first-class officials on the spot!" ”
Chu Junyi's eyes moved, and a huge amount of silver ...... No wonder Lin Yue came to threaten him so grandiosely before, it turned out that he had found out about these.
Baili Qingcang frowned: "You said a huge amount of silver taels?" ”
"Yes, according to the evidence left by the commander of the Praetorian Guard, there are at least millions of taels."
"Millions of taels? That's a lot. "The taxes collected by the imperial court are only tens of millions of taels a year, and Chu Junyi can have millions of taels of silver?
