The minister who had previously targeted Hua Ronghua subconsciously glanced at King Han, and then continued: "It's impossible for her, but don't forget Yong'anbo, Mrs. Hua was born in the Kanglebo Mansion, and her husband holds military power in the north!" It is impossible for her to sit on the throne, but what about her husband? What about Conlebor? The minister thought that maybe the Conleber Mansion had a heart of disobedience, and it should be strictly investigated! ”

Shrinking in the crowd and sighing, thanks to Kang Lebo, who didn't let Hua Ronghua enter the door, was almost paralyzed with fright, and crawled to the front, knelt down with a plop, and shouted injustice.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor has been wronged! The minister is absolutely loyal to the emperor! Conlebord threw himself on his knees and wept.

He was really frightened, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "Your Majesty, the minister's loyalty can be learned from the world, there is no disobedience, that woman surnamed Hua has nothing to do with our uncle's mansion, and it is none of our business if she wants to rebel!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the disdainful eyes of the Manchu Dynasty fell on him. If the crime of rebellion is not done well, it is a big crime to raid the house and destroy the door, and it is reasonable to avoid it, but what this Kang Lobo did is also ugly.

The minister who had previously attacked Hua Ronghua sneered: "Kang Lebo's face has changed too quickly, right?" A few days ago, you told me that Zu Shangjide married such a daughter-in-law who is good at making money! Why did it become that a few days have passed and it has nothing to do with Bofu? ”

Kang Lebo's face turned red all of a sudden, and he shouted with a stiff neck: "Why do I say that Hua is the daughter-in-law of Bofu?" She didn't even enter the family tree, how could she be the daughter-in-law of my uncle's mansion? If you don't believe me, go check it out! Speaking of this, he straightened his back, this is a fact, and he is not afraid to investigate.

"Humph!" The previous minister snorted, and suddenly felt that it was really boring for him to break with him. Salute to the emperor, "Your Majesty, privately transfer the battalion soldiers, encircle and suppress the government office, and disregard people's lives, no matter which one you have, you have a heart of disobedience, and please ask the emperor to severely punish to revitalize the dynasty!" ”

"Please punish the emperor severely!" Seven or eight more ministers came out to echo him.

The hall fell silent for a while, and everyone waited with bated breath for the emperor to break down.

The emperor didn't get angry, looked at the ministers who were shouting for severely punishing Hua Ronghua, and then looked at the crown prince, but finally his eyes fell on Yong'anbo, and asked, "What does Yong'anbo think?" ”

King Han's eyebrows furrowed, and he threw a warning look at him, but Yong Anbo slid his wheelchair out of the train with his hand as if he hadn't seen it, and bowed his hand to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to ask these adults." ”

"Oh?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow, "You ask." ”

"Your Majesty." Yong Anbo turned his head to look at the ministers of the DPRK and China who had left the train with a righteous face and said, "I want to ask a few adults, can just one woman disturb the court?" He even asked the emperor to do it to revive the dynasty! Are you all vegetarians, not even as good as women? ”

As soon as Yong'anbo's words came out, the faces of the ministers turned red, and they glanced at each other, but they didn't open their mouths again.

King Han flicked the sleeves of his robe angrily and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Hua's private deployment of battalions to encircle and suppress the Fu Yacao and the lives of the people are all true through the excerpts of the Quzhou garrison general, and the relevant people should be directly punished on the spot to set an example!" ”

The emperor looked at the menacing King Han, and then looked at Yong'an Bo but closed his mouth, obviously not wanting to conflict with his biological father, so he finally looked at the prince on the side, "What does the prince think?" ”

"Father!" The crown prince first bowed and bowed, then got up and said, "Erchen thinks that King Han and the ministers are a little alarmist!" ”

"The prince should not be partial because of his private relationship!" King Han snorted coldly.

The crown prince raised his head and asked with a smile, "What does King Han think this king has to do with Mrs. Hua?" ”

King Han choked, if he bit the prince to death and had a private affair with Hua Ronghua, then the emperor could completely cure himself for the crime of arguing about the prince, but he was really unwilling to show weakness like this! In the end, he said unwillingly: "It's just a rumor." ”

"Can rumors be used as a basis for judgment? Is it possible to judge a case based on hearsay alone? ”

King Han was speechless when asked.

The emperor was secretly refreshed in his heart, and continued to ask: "Then how should this matter be ended according to the prince?" ”

The prince arched his hand and said: "Erchen thinks that the charge of privately transferring troops that you said first of all is not true, and the warrant for the transfer of troops in Mrs. Hua's hand was given by the king, so that when there is an abnormality along the way, she can mobilize officers and soldiers below 1,000 people nearby to protect the silver taels." The excerpt on the Quzhou garrison said that he ordered 800 troops at that time, which did not exceed the number of 1,000 people, and Mrs. Hua transferred troops for the safety of the silver, so the first charge was not established.

In the second and third articles, only the Quzhou prefect said that Mrs. Hua transferred troops to encircle and suppress the government and cao Cao, which caused dozens of government officials to die. However, these two points were not mentioned in the twists and turns of the Quzhou garrison. Erchen thought that since the Quzhou garrison had handed over all these treasures and would not hide anything from other things, it could also be understood that he did not know about the last two items that the Quzhou prefect said. This is strange, is there anyone else who is besieging the Quzhou Mansion?

Father, since the two sides insisted on their own words, Erchen thought that it would be better to wait for the head of the guard Sun to come back and ask again, so that he could have a clearer understanding of this matter, and it would not be too late to make a decision then. ”

The emperor nodded slightly and looked at the other ministers, "What do you think?" ”

Yong'an Bo Shili, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Several more ministers walked out of the train, "Ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

"That's it, then I'll wait for Chief Sun to return to Beijing." The emperor had a final word.

"Father, the son still has something to do!" The prince continued.

"Speak!"

"Erchen asked someone to estimate the box of treasures handed over by the Quzhou garrison, which is worth at least one million taels of silver! As far as Erchen knows, all the Quzhou prefect's annual fortune is converted into no more than five hundred silver taels, where did he come from the treasure of one million silver taels? You must know that last year, the tax revenue of the entire imperial court was less than three million taels. Erchen thought it was necessary to take a spot check on Quzhou's taxes in recent years. ”

When the prince's words fell, King Han snorted and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in charge of the Fanwu Hall, he has also begun to worry about these Xu Yinliang. ”

"Uncle Huang, this is not a matter of calculation, but to remove the moths of the court! Can't let him lead my Beipeng's Yulu but still digging into the corner of my Beipeng, right? The imperial court has been short of taxes for many years, but there are a lot of expenses, this king has always wondered, Beipeng is rich in resources, even if there is a disaster, it can't be a disaster everywhere in the world, why can't this tax be collected? Now that he has seen this box of treasures, the king understands that these taxes that should have been the imperial court have gone into the pockets of those individuals! Do you still have to turn a blind eye to these moths that endanger the imperial court? ”

As soon as the prince's words came out, the hall was silent. The emperor directly ordered, "The Ministry of Household Promotion and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will select personnel and go to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate Quzhou Mansion on the same day!" If other state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River have corrupt behavior, they can take the initiative to ask for the crime to hand over the dirty things, and if it is verified in the future, the crime will be increased by three degrees! ”

As soon as the emperor's edict came out, many ministers in the court who relied on Jiangnan to make a fortune secretly complained that it was bad, and they thought about writing a letter to Jiangnan immediately when they went back. King Han knew that the prefect of Quzhou was finished, and it seemed that he would have to deal with it as soon as possible after he went back, so as not to implicate himself.

No matter what these ministers thought in their hearts, they all looked reverent on their faces, "The emperor is sage!" ”

In the imperial study, the emperor and the crown prince sat and stood together.

The crown prince bowed slightly to the emperor, "Thank you for your tolerance." ”

The emperor looked at him very seriously, and suddenly asked, "Does the emperor really have nothing to do with that Fahrenheit?" ”

"Father? Father! The crown prince was a little annoyed, "Why does even my father think so?" Erchen and Mrs. Hua have no other contact except for the matter of Fanwutang! It's not that there are no beauties in the son's house, so why should you be concerned about her married woman? ”

The emperor smiled, "I just think that the emperor has interceded for this woman several times, and he seems to be a little kind of treat her!" ”

"I earned five million taels of silver in three years, didn't my father also praise her? Erchen just thinks that it would be a pity that Mrs. Hua's talent was ruined by Uncle Hanhuang! ”

The emperor sighed, "This Hua's ability is not small, and his ability to cause trouble is not small, I think King Han should hate her like a thorn in his eye now!" ”

"It's just for self-preservation, she can't think about things so comprehensively without going through the storm!"

"Haven't been through the storm? She didn't go through the wind and waves to stir up the Jiangnan officialdom, if she went through the wind and waves, she wouldn't have lifted my throne? The Emperor snorted coldly.

The crown prince opened his mouth and finally didn't make a sound, this father laughed for a while and got angry for a while, what did he think?

"That's it, the cause of this matter is not her, and I don't want to hold on to a woman who doesn't have the reputation of bullying the weak and afraid of the hard!" The emperor sighed, "But she is so bold and reckless that she dares to instigate the battalion to besiege the government and cannot go unpunished!" ”

"Father Emperor Shengming!" The prince's heart finally relaxed, as long as he could save his life. To be honest, he was also shocked when he read Hua Ronghua's letter, he never expected a woman to have such courage. When it comes to Jiangnan, the prince knows that King Han will definitely bite this matter, but he doesn't want King Han to get his wish, and he is reluctant to let Hua Ronghua's skill of collecting money on the one hand, and there is still a faint reluctance in the depths of his heart.

"But my father can also take this opportunity to clean up Jiangnan!"

The emperor glanced at the crown prince, "So I want to reward that Fahrenheit?" ”

"No, of course not." The crown prince felt that today's emperor was a little moody.

"Hmph, Jiangnan has been remediated for a long time." The emperor snorted, paused, and asked, "What do you think of what Yong'an Bo did today?" Is he acquainted with Mrs. Nahua? ”

The prince shook his head, "Erchen doesn't know. It is said that Yong'anbo and General Gongxi have long had a disagreement, and Mrs. Hua was forced to leave the house because of Mrs. Yong'anbo, so there should be no relationship between them, but Mrs. Hua went out of Kanglebo's mansion but hid in the tea restaurant under the name of Yong'anbo, and today Yong'anbo seems to be in trouble with King Han. ”

"Yong'an Bo was born by the deceased Princess Han, and King Han didn't like Yong'anbo's biological mother, and he always turned a blind eye to him; Later, King Han married his sweetheart, so he naturally felt more sorry for his sweetheart's child. The emperor snorted coldly, "King Han is also old and confused, and the wise eldest son does not hurt but prefers the second son who has achieved nothing!" ”

"I see." The prince recalled the situation in the early dynasty, and indeed could not see any trace of King Han's love for Yong Anbo, thinking of King Han, the prince said worriedly: "Father, I am afraid that King Han will interfere in the matter of Jiangnan, and I am afraid that the matter of Quzhou will also be annihilated by him." ”

The emperor looked at the crown prince and asked, "Prince, I ask you, even if you get the evidence of Quzhou, what can you do?" ”
