Chapter 54: Help
It is the faint sunlight, the huge imperial city is covered with a layer of light bright color, and the ridged beasts on the eaves show light and shadow, and they are even more vivid, as if they are really standing on the top of it.
In the hall, there were all ministers in the hall, all of whom hung their heads and were silent, as if they were afraid that the next young emperor would call them by name.
Jiang Huaiyang sat upright at the top of the place, wearing a Ming and Huang court clothes, pursing his lips, there seemed to be cold frost between his eyebrows, and he seemed to have something else in his heart, no wonder the ministers were all looking like they didn't dare to come out.
His gaze wandered among the ministers for a while, and he said in a deep voice, "If all Aiqing can't play today, then I will speak first." ”
There are gradually people looking at each other left and right, not that they all have nothing to do, but seeing that the new emperor's face is not worried, no one wants to speak first, touching this person's moldy head.
At this time, I saw that he had something to say, and I was afraid that the person he was making trouble would be himself, and everyone would be in danger, and I was looking forward to the fact that there was an adult around him who played some trivial things, and dragged it out, so that the emperor was disturbed by everything, and forgot what he was going to say.
Master Cheng stood by the door, not easy to be noticed by Jiang Huaiyang, so he was bolder and quietly raised his eyes to glance at him.
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, although he is not very old, he has been ruthless, causing many older ministers to mention him very frightened. But Master Cheng is not too panicked at this time, as if he has the relationship of the eldest princess, he will be related to him, and there is no need to be afraid.
Even omitting the aura of killing like the autumn wind around him, Old Man Cheng realized for the first time that this new emperor was actually not as old as the eldest son in the family.
Thinking like this, he skipped the things he was going to play in his heart again, got out of the train, picked up the front guard and knelt in front of the emperor, "The minister has this music." ”
Xu is far away, and Master Cheng didn't know that Jiang Huaiyang's gaze had been falling on him. Although he was watching him from afar, Jiang Huaiyang's mind couldn't help but drift to the side, the hall was silent, but there seemed to be a bell ringing in his ears.
He remembered that the little lady was the daughter-in-law of Cheng Yushi's family.
No matter what he thought in his heart, his complexion remained the same, and he was still cold in the eyes of others. He said, "Aiqing, please speak." ”
Master Cheng clenched the wat board in his hand, "A few days ago, someone reported that in the past four years, the prefect of Moyang has successively deducted military salaries privately, totaling thousands of taels of silver, which has been verified. It's just that this silver money is missing, and I hope Your Majesty will send someone to recover it. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyang sneered and said slowly, "What I want to say is also this case." Now Aiqing mentioned it, but it was just right. ”
The ministers below were all nervous, and they couldn't help but look towards Master Cheng's direction, and secretly shouted that it was not good. Originally, he thought that he could delay it, but he was okay and said it directly for His Majesty.
Master Cheng also felt the complaining gaze of the surrounding ministers, and only felt that there seemed to be a thousand catties on his body, so he couldn't help but bow down, and his palms were slightly wet.
"I ask you," Jiang Huaiyang sat on a high place, staring down, and said in a deep voice, "This person has been corrupt for several years, and during this period, what have you done?" Do I want you to make you eat rice? It's because the news has reached me, and I just know about it. ”
Moyang is located on the border of Wuguo, near Hudi, and is an important border town. The officials involved didn't know how to hide it so tightly, and before their people went to search, they transferred the silver and silver gods unnoticed, which is really capable.
If it weren't for the fact that the military staff had more snacks and sent a letter to Beijing to compare it with the appropriation, I am afraid that it would not have been possible to find out in another 180 years.
Master Cheng opened his mouth, and the words of defense lingered in his mouth, and finally he only said, "The minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty." ”
It was not that he did not think about the consequences of this, and he did not care about his wife and children at home. Only in this way can His Majesty believe that there is no protection from him in the past four years.
Jiang Huaiyang was a little surprised, he would take the initiative to plead guilty. In fact, he knew in his heart that Moyang was far away from the border, and Rao was beyond the reach of Cheng Changyin, as the imperial history. What's more, a prefect can do this, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no one behind him.
But Jiang Huaiyang wanted to mention this matter, but he was actually selfish.
So he followed Master Cheng's words, "Since Aiqing knows his mistakes and is fined for one year, if there is any dereliction of duty in the future, he will no longer be tolerated, demoted and exiled." I hope Aiqing will take it as a warning and do it for herself. ”
For the demotion of officials and exile, one year of punishment is nothing more than a painless punishment. He knew that Cheng Yushi was still in office, and he never really thought about how to punish him heavily.
He just asked the Cheng family to do something, so that they could move their efforts from the marriage of their two sons to other places. even knew that he was ashamed and broke off his relationship with Zhaorong.
Below, Master Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his mid-air was also sufficient, "The minister obeys the order." ”
Several courtiers who were watching the excitement also withdrew their gazes.
After a while, the atmosphere in the court was slightly relaxed, and then he went out of class to play something, listened to everything silently, and after everything was played, he returned to his duties.
Chengfu East Chamber.
Ruan Yuyi embroidered the red plum pattern on the hem of her clothes, and suddenly felt colder, so she stopped what she was doing and said to Mu Ling on the side, "Go and cover the window." ”
Mu Ling smiled, "They all say that you don't want to wear this, you have to listen, the weather today is not as good as early autumn, and it is strange that it is not cold." ”
Look at Ruan Yuyi again, she is wearing a smoky shirt and a pure pleated skirt, the exquisite little flowers are delicately embroidered, but at a glance, it seems to be alive. A silver butterfly on the hairpin shakes in steps, swaying slightly between walks, and it is also about to flutter its wings.
She put on a few more stitches, and replied, "I used to think it was too fancy, and I didn't move once, so I put it under the shelver." Today, I was just thinking about which one to wear, and I happened to see this set, so I felt fresh to put it on. ”
I don't think much about it in the house, and when I have to go out, I really feel that it is too cold to do it, and I can't add another cloak to the left and right.
This silk thread is brightly colored, but it is a little darker than the red silk thread on the banyan tree in the Shenghe Temple. She couldn't help but wonder.
She embroidered a few flowers, then rested for a while, and when she was almost done, it was already afternoon. Because of Mu Xiang's experience yesterday, Ruan Yuyi thought about letting her rest, and planned to take Mu Ling to the temple.
made up for Ruan Yuyi, and the two were about to go out. It's just that before he could take a few steps, he saw Mu Xiang chasing after him.
She carried a cloak on her forearm, stepped forward and unfolded it, and tied it for Ruan Yuyi, "Why is Miss dressed so thinly today, and how can she be born if she suffers from the cold again." As she spoke, she glanced at Mu Ling, and there was some blame in her eyes.
When Mu Ling saw her coming over with a shawl, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to bring more clothes for Miss.
Ruan Yuyi let her tie her clothes calmly, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about her, I insist on wearing it." ”
"Miss, you know how to maintain this girl," Mu Xiang tied a neat and beautiful knot, and went around behind her, and straightened the collar behind her.
In fact, if Mu Ling wants to accompany Miss, she is still not very relieved, Mu Ling has always been straightforward, if he collides with the Son, it will not cause trouble for Miss. Thinking so, she said, "Miss, why don't you go with you today?" ”
"Didn't you answer me yesterday and want to rest for a day?" Ruan Yuyi turned her head sideways, looked at Mu Xiang carefully, and saw that her face was ruddy, but she didn't look like she was sick.
She was not resolute, and she couldn't resist the murmur, so she still took her with her.
