"Okay, don't argue." Baili Qingcang frowned and snorted coldly, frowning and looking at Lin Yue and Zhao Kun on the ground, his tone was extremely dissatisfied, "You said before that the amount of silver in Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua's family is huge, but now you know the origin?" ”

Lin Yue and Zhao Kun's faces were even more ugly, not only did they fail to cause any harm to Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua this time, but on the contrary, they made the emperor sympathize with and trust them more and more.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is guilty."

"Hmph, menacing into the palace, a fluttering sentence of mistake is over, if Princess Zhaohua and Chu Aiqing can't tell in time, won't I be blinded by you?"

"The emperor is angry."

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes to look at Lin Yue, turned his head to Baili Qingcang and said: "Father, Lord Lin is the minister of the humerus of the imperial court, and it is not strange to be able to understand the dynamics of various families in Kyoto in a timely manner, but the ministers are a little puzzled in their hearts, and I don't know if I can ask Lord Zhao." ”

"Well, you ask." Baili Qingcang nodded in agreement.

A trace of coldness flashed in Shen Ninghua's eyes: "Lord Zhao, although my princess's mansion is not an iron bucket, it is also well managed, may I ask, how did you find out that a large amount of silver has entered my mansion?" ”

Zhao Kun's face changed, and he secretly said bad in his heart, and sweat oozed from his forehead unconsciously: "Princess Huiyu, this is the news that Weichen heard from others." ”

"Oh? It's strange that the matter in my princess's mansion would be spread so quickly, I don't know who Lord Zhao listened to? ”

"Yes......"

Lin Yue interrupted: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, the ministers are really worried that the people of Jiangnan have only been confused for a while, and they really don't know that the princess and Lord Chu have done so many good things for the country and the people......"

Chu Junyi sneered: "Lord Lin, in fact, the princess also has questions in my heart, and I also want to know, how do you know that there is a huge amount of silver taels in my mansion, it stands to reason that this batch of silver taels has only been in Kyoto for less than two days, and we haven't even figured out the number." ”

Lin Yue gritted his teeth: "Lord Chu, we don't know where this news came from, we only know ......"

Shen Ninghua frowned, his voice cooled down, and he directly interrupted Lin Yue: "Could it be that Lord Lin and Lord Zhao are suing us with news that they don't know where they got it?" ”

"This ......"

"Lord Lin, Lord Zhao, both of you are officials of the imperial court, how to investigate the case will not be unknown, there is no evidence here, you dare to go to the main hall to confront the emperor?"

Shen Ninghua coldly hooked the corners of his lips in his heart, these two people had already prepared witnesses and testimony, and even more specific evidence, but the premise of all this was that this silver was indeed obtained by looting the people, so the emperor would definitely be furious when he saw this evidence!

It's a pity that now that the ins and outs of this silver are clear, and it is a donation to be sent to the northwest for disaster relief, then there is a big problem with these evidences! They didn't dare to take it out!

Chu Junyi's expression condensed: "Your Majesty, there are specific arrangements for the money in the hands of Wei Chen, and there are specific account books for how to earn them, if the emperor is in need, Wei Chen can let people send the account books to Kyoto for you to consult, and the ministers now want to know, what is the evidence in the hands of Lord Lin?" ”

Lin Yue knelt on the ground, only to feel a cool breath rising from his knees and approaching his heart, he was now forced to the edge of the cliff by Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi, if the evidence was presented, it would be a false accusation, if there was no evidence, it would be a false accusation, this one framed the princess and the court officials, it was not so easy for them to get out.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a negligence of Weichen, and Weichen ......"

Outside the door, a loud announcement sounded:

"The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Shen Ninghua's eyes were slightly raised, and a trace of waves flashed in her quiet eyes, and the queen mother finally couldn't sit still in her Ningkun Palace.

"Queen, why are you here?" Baili Qingcang's face was cold, his eyes swept over Lin Yue and Zhao Kun, and he already knew it in his heart, but he couldn't help but be shocked:

He just moved the Praetorian Guard, and even attracted the Zhao family and Lin Yue, the two long-cherished enemies, to cooperate, if one day he wants to move the crown prince and the third prince, can these two families unite and pull him off the throne as the emperor?

Zhao Huiying bowed down, her elegant posture was exceptionally beautiful: "The concubine has seen the emperor, I heard that Ning Hua has entered the palace, and I want to come and see, she has saved the driver before, the emperor has rewarded her, and the concubine has not been rewarded." ”

"You're here for this?" Isn't the queen here for Zhao Kun?

"Yes, I didn't expect the emperor to be discussing things here, but it was not the right time for the concubines to come, and they blamed the people below for not doing a good job, and they didn't tell the palace in advance, the emperor was discussing things, so that the concubines lost their manners."

was interrupted by the queen, Zhao Kun didn't react, but Lin Yue understood at once, they were not framing Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua, but were deceived by the people below, and the people below didn't do a good job, even if the emperor didn't believe it, but he couldn't even behead two court officials for an unsuccessful frame, right?

Lin Yue leaned over, his voice choked: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty, and he hurried to question Lord Chu without investigating and understanding, but it was really because he heard that the impact of this matter was too bad, so he was too impulsive for a while." ”

Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Back to the emperor, a subordinate reported that he had received the news, saying that Lord Chu had embezzled millions of silver taels in Jiangnan, and also found witnesses and testimony.

Zhao Kun's face suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is also very strange, I am at home, but someone came to tell Weichen, I saw that a large number of silver taels entered the palace of Princess Zhaohua, and at the same time brought witnesses, Weichen originally wanted to verify, but I didn't expect Lord Lin to also hear about Lord Chu, the two of us combined, always feel that things are weird, this is why there is a confrontation in front of the emperor, now that I think about it, it is too impulsive, this is someone deliberately provoked."

Lin Yue added on the side: "Your Majesty, the ministers were deceived and almost misunderstood the princess and Lord Chu, which is really stupid, please punish the emperor." ”

Shen Ninghua looked coldly at the two people who were kneeling on the ground, one only admitting their mistakes, his heart was full of ridicule, he really deserved to be the two masters of the two families who had stood above the court for so long and did not fall, this ability to bend and stretch I don't know how many people can't learn it wisely!

Baili Qingcang looked at Lin Yue and Zhao Kun, and there was an atmosphere in his heart, but he did have concerns, these two people did not admit their guilt, so they couldn't kill the two court officials for Ning Hua and Chu Junyi.

"So, you, too, have been deceived?"

"Yes, the emperor is wise."

"Well, since you have also been deceived, then this case of framing the princess and the minister will be investigated by the two of you, and within three days, give me a satisfactory result, understand? Queen, do you have anything else, go back to your Ningkun Palace if you have nothing to do. ”

Zhao Huiying lowered her head: "Yes, the concubine retired." ”

"Princess Zhaohua and Chu Aiqing have done a good thing for the country and the people, they have been framed for not seeking fame and fortune, and the rewards and punishments are clear, those who should be rewarded should be rewarded, and those who should be made up for will not be treated badly, in this way, Princess Zhaohua will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold, ten horses of Ayaluo, two boxes of tribute jade and porcelain, and the reward of the left capital of the imperial history Chu Jun will be doubled, and the silver will be doubled."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Baili Qingcang sighed and looked at Lin Yue and Zhao Kun on the ground: "Two Aiqing, why don't you go down to try the case soon?" ”

"Yes, Weichen retired."

Out of the Golden Palace, Zhao Kun wiped the cold sweat on his head, looked up and wanted to talk to Lin Yue, but when he saw Lin Yue leaving in a hurry with an embarrassed face, he suddenly felt bored with himself, shook his sleeves and turned to leave.

The queen returned to Ningkun Palace, and Fang Xue hurriedly served tea: "Niangniang, but it went well?" ”

"Smooth?" Zhao Huiying's face became more and more bad, "This time it's really a big one!" ”

"Could it be that Lord Zhao and Lord Lin have missed?"

"Not only did they miss, but they almost lost themselves, if it weren't for the past of the palace, now these two people are afraid that they have been seized and imprisoned by the emperor."

"Ah, how can it be so serious?"

Zhao Huiying slammed the teacup in her hand to the ground: "This palace has long told them that if they can't hit with one blow, don't take it lightly, who is the Praetorian Guard?" That is the team that protects the life of the emperor's family, the emperor was touched to the bottom line, and he was about to kill people and put out the fire, these people hit them with their heads, isn't this rushing to find death? I had already said that the prince would calm down, but I didn't expect him to be so anxious! ”

"Mother's anger."

"Chu Junyi, Shen Ninghua, hum, these two people are really powerful, they are like two stones, the whole is smooth and hard, there is not even a gap, I originally thought that without the support of the Xiao family, Chu Junyi would not be able to become a climate, but now, without the Xiao family, he has emerged instead, and he is more and more like a fish in water. After this rectification of the Praetorian Guard, I am afraid that he will become a celebrity in front of the emperor in one leap. ”

"Niangniang, no matter how proud that Chu Junyi is, he is just a courtier, you are the master of the harem, don't be angry with them, it's not worth it if you get angry."

Zhao Huiying took a deep breath and sat in her seat, the look in her eyes was unusual: "You are right, this palace is the master of the harem, after so many years in the harem, all the big and small storms have come, and you can still capsize when you are about to kick the door?" Fang Xue, send someone to keep an eye on Chu Junyi and Shen Ninghua, don't startle the snake, I don't believe that they are really leaky! ”

"Yes, sissy."

In the princess's mansion, Shen Ninghua was playing with a set of jasper teacups, with obvious love in her eyes.

Chu Junyi sat next to her, with a warm pampering in his eyes: "Ning Hua, do you like jade?" ”

"Jade has a spirit, so I naturally like it."

"Ah, then it looks like I'm going to build a jade bed in the house."

Shen Ninghua flew over with a cold eye: "Although Lin Yue and Zhao Kun have been sent away temporarily, there are still many follow-up things, didn't you say that you would transport all the silver to the northwest for disaster relief, and you actually said that you have to do it, and don't arrange it?" ”

"When the news was spread, it was already arranged." Chu Junyi watched Shen Ninghua's movements, and the white jade tea cup set off her jade-colored fingertips, which was particularly pleasing to the eye, making him reluctant to stagger his eyes.

"Then you don't have anything else to do?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for dark."

"What are you going to do when it's dark?" Shen Ninghua frowned.

Chu Junyi smiled: "Didn't Bai Wei say that you went to bed very late before, I'll accompany you, by the way, let's see what you're doing?" ”

Shen Ninghua's face darkened: "Qingque, send off." ”

"Hey, Ninghua...... We've just been through it together...... Alright, alright...... I'll walk ...... myself."
