Chapter 326: After the Abolished
The petty official weighed his words and deeds, not only to express his worries, but also to fear that he would say the wrong thing and displease Lord Huang.
"Sir, no! Oh no! β
Lord Huang's family hurriedly ran towards them.
"What to run! What kind of thing to do slowly, what kind of system to shout so loudly! "Lord Huang loudly scolded his own family, although this is outside the palace gate, but after all, there are many people, and there is no wind at this juncture.
"My lord, this is your letter." After being reprimanded by his master, the family didn't complain, just handed an envelope to Lord Huang with trembling hands.
This is!
Lord Huang was shocked, and immediately recognized that the pattern on the envelope was the special totem of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Huang trembled and opened the envelope, but every time he read the content of the letter, the fear in his heart deepened.
"What's wrong with Lord Huang? What did the Prime Minister say in the letter? "is also the prime minister's protΓ©gΓ©, and that little official naturally recognizes their special totem.
"It's over, it's over, it's really over!" Where can Lord Huang still care about answering, now that even the prime minister has absconded in fear of crime, then he has to wait for the catastrophe to come!
Seeing that Lord Huang seemed to have lost his soul, the little official was also in a hurry, he gritted his teeth and reached out to grab the letter, wanting to see what was written, if something really happened, he had to deal with it in advance.
As a result, I finally knew why Lord Huang reacted like this.
The letter said that because King Lan was imprisoned this time, all the evil deeds that the prime minister had done over the years were exposed, including the fact that they helped others destroy the evidence of their crimes.
Taishi Huaiyu deeply knew how many bad things he had done before, so when he heard the news, he took the lead in escaping, but it was interesting enough, before escaping, he also returned Lord Huang, a sentient and righteous confidant with ulterior motives, and specially wrote a letter to remind him to be more careful.
"Lord Huang, what should you and I do now!"
"What else can we do, let's ask for more blessings!" Lord Huang left a sentence angrily and walked away with his family.
Recently, the capital is not very peaceful, and there are many people who have been affected inexplicably, and even many people often kneel outside the palace gate, and the guards do not listen to the persuasion, and scold and scold away.
Soon, the matter reached the ears of the emperor, because the previous King Lan and the prime minister all had accidents, so now the slightest movement will attract the attention of the emperor, listen to the performance of the officials under his command to know that these people are all in their hometowns, some are Pingxian, some are Shuiling Township, and even some come from the border.
These ordinary people were all treated unfairly by local officials in their hometowns, and their evil deeds were suppressed by local high-ranking officials who had been bribed.
Now that many deeds of King Lan and the Ministry of Shangshu have been involved one by one, and the prime minister is not spared from being involved, these people have also received rumors, and they have heard that King Lan is in prison, and they feel that it is time to seek justice for themselves.
"A few days ago, the prime minister said that he was unwell and did not go to the court, didn't I send you to the prime minister's mansion to investigate, what was the result?"
Taishi Huaiyu had not had time to tell the officials below about the escape with the money, and now when the emperor heard this, he hurriedly said what he knew.
"If you go back to the emperor, the lower officials will find out...... The prime minister has already gone to the empty building! And as far as the lower officials know, the prime minister still has the disaster relief money from Anping County last time in his hands......"
"What! Ran away? He's so bold! Tell me to go down, I will go up and down the country in the east, and I must go all out to hunt down Taishi Huaiyu! Be sure to apprehend him quickly! β
The emperor thought that he had been deceived by Taishi Huaiyu for so many years, since he still thought that he was a loyal minister.
"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!"
In the next few days, everyone in the capital fell into a tense atmosphere, but there was still no news of Taishi Huaiyu, but everyone in the capital was panicked.
Especially those victims who came from other places to sue the emperor, they had no money and no place to live, and no one paid attention to them when they went to the government to redress their grievances, so those victims openly entered the rice store and grain store to rob things.
"You, how can you do this! Everyone is an ordinary person, and I also open the door to do business, how can I live if you snatch the rice away like this! β
Seeing that his rice shop was about to be ransacked, the boss dragged a refugee to prevent him from leaving, "You can't go, you leave my rice for me!" β
"Hmph, if you open such a big store and wear gold and silver, will you still be worried about having no food! Our hometown was all flooded, and the entire court didn't care about it, who ever asked us if we were alive or dead! β
The man's eyes were red, and he remembered the scene when his children were less than a year old, starved to death, since the court had given up on them, why should they obey any laws and disciplines!
All of a sudden, all the victims of the disaster in various places crowded the shops to grab things, and there were even some robbers on the mountain, pretending to be victims of the disaster to do some murder and arson, and the government could not control it, not only that, but they also always robbed women, as long as anyone did not obey, they would end up with either death or cripplement.
It's just that in just a few days, the originally prosperous capital has become an unorderly border city.
When the queen learned the news, she was having lunch, and the whole person was stunned, "He...... Ran away? β
The palace maid didn't dare to look directly into the queen's eyes, so she could only nod her head, the news wanted to spread, and the jade spoon in the queen's hand trembled, and then fell directly into the soup bowl.
Her body shook, although she had already fallen out with the prime minister, but now in this situation, the prime minister is happy to leave, but the Taishi family who stayed in Donglin and her queen surnamed Taishi may not have a good life.
Just when the queen was shocked, a shrill singing voice came from outside, "The holy decree has arrived!" β
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: The queen Taishi has no talent and no virtue, the head of the Taishi family defected out of Beijing, and the Taishi family became a crime, from now on, the queen Taishi abolished the queen and entered the cold palace, Qin this!"
The father-in-law's shrill voice read the holy decree in this way, and then regardless of the pale queen, he handed the holy decree out with a smile, "Queen Niangniang, let the slave call you the queen mother for the last time, the queen mother has lived in the deep palace for a long time, I am afraid I don't know the water of the people outside the palace wall, Taishi Huaiyu deceived the monarch, embezzled the disaster money, and the east is full of disasters, the Taishi family is guilty, the emperor has been extraordinarily gracious, the queen mother is only abolished and lives in the cold palace, the emperor asked the slave to bring a sentence to the mother, For the rest of his life, he ate fasting and worshipping the Buddha to atone for the sins of the Taishi family. β
