"Master, if you really hate this man, let's just leave him behind."

"He doesn't want to make a name for himself, let's just pour some dirty water on him, and let him die a good death."

Gonggong Li saw that the empress was still a little angry, so he thought about helping the empress come up with more ideas.

But he didn't notice that the empress's expression had changed at this time.

"It's okay, my measure isn't that small, scolding me? It doesn't matter, am I scolded less? ”

"Ever since I ascended the throne, there have been snowflakes of impeachment every day."

"The empress is mediocre, the empress is mediocre, the empress is mediocre."

"One out of every three folds says I'm stupid."

After the empress finished speaking, she closed her eyes and gently rubbed her forehead.

It's okay, this kind of thing is scolded, as long as you get used to it, it's not a big deal.

She thought so, and suddenly thought of being scolded by Zheng Xiu in front of hundreds of civil and military officials three days ago.

"But you can't just let him go, doesn't he want to fight for fame, it just so happens that there is one less director in the Ministry of Industry, so put him in the Ministry of Industry."

"Let's see if he can be an indestructible knife in my hand."

After all, scolding behind your back is not the same as scolding in front of your face.

After the empress finished speaking, she put aside the matter about Zheng Xiu, and then began to review the other twists and turns.

After all, she is not good at governing the country, if she can't quickly deal with the national policy, then spend more time.

Gonggong Li also slowly walked out of the palace gate backwards and closed the palace gate with his hands.

This is a little eunuch who walked quickly to Li Yuan's side, and then whispered.

"Godfather, someone paid a thousand taels to buy Zheng Xiu...... Click"

Speaking of which, the little eunuch gestured directly with his hand to his neck.

didn't expect that before he finished his movements, he was slapped on the back of the head by Gonggong Li.

"One thousand taels."

"Smack!"

"One thousand taels."

"Smack!"

"One thousand taels."

"Smack!"

Gonggong Li hit him three times in a row, but he still seemed to be a little puzzled.

So he gave the little eunuch a hard kick before he spoke.

"Do you know whose minion you are?"

"I ...... Is it Godfather's minion? ”

"Smack, fool, you're a minion of the saint."

"But ......"

"It's nothing good, you want to die, your godfather I don't want to die!"

Gonggong Li waved the edict in his hand before speaking.

"Remember, it doesn't matter how much money you get, you can enjoy it when you should enjoy it, for us, it doesn't matter."

"But you have to keep in mind one thing, and that is that we are all servants of the Holy One."

"This edict is used to save that Lord Zheng, your godfather is still here, and I can still do something for you."

"If I'm done, I believe that the two of us will be able to meet in Huangquan in two days."

Gonggong Li sighed that this godson was not angry, and walked towards the prison.

It is normal for eunuchs to raise godsons, and when people are true in a certain aspect, they will try to make up for it.

And this father-son relationship, in the eunuchs, is also a very important promotion channel.

At this moment, he was in a hurry to read the edict, but he didn't see the gloom in his own godson's eyes.

"Godfather, isn't the empress very angry, why did she transfer him to the Ministry of Industry?"

The little eunuch rubbed the back of his head, and then looked very curious.

"There are a lot of twists and turns, do you know how many things are going on in the Ministry of Industry every day?"

"Building bridges and paving roads, building palaces, all kinds of magic circles, and manufacturing weapons are all tasks of the Ministry of Engineering."

"Hundreds of officials, big and small, each of them even if they only take a small point, it is a huge deficit."

"At that time, that Lord Zheng will only have two choices, or he will go along with the dirt and give up the name he dreams of."

"Either then Lord Zheng will become His Highness's knife, and kill the Ministry of Works, a nest of snakes and rats."

"If you see anything in the future, think more and talk less, even if you have a loaf on the ground and you can get silver, it may not be something you can afford."

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the prison.

Naturally, there will be jailers who will bring these two angels to Zheng Xiu's prison door.

"Please take the order."

Zheng Xiu is indeed a little puzzled at this time, everyone is going to die and still have to take the paper?

Splicing? What kind of paper? Yellow paper for graves?

"Zheng Xiu of the Hanlin Academy, his eyes are not respectful, his mouth is crazy, and he loses his honor in front of the palace."

"But when I think of the first offense, I will serve the people wholeheartedly, exempt him from the capital crime, and demote him to the head of the Ministry of Works."

As he spoke, Gonggong Li handed this holy decree to Zheng Xiu.

"Congratulations to Lord Zheng for being exempted from the death penalty, take the order, Lord Zheng."

At this time, Zheng Xiucai took the holy decree handed over by Gonggong Li as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"Lord Zheng, then let's go back to the palace first."

Wait, my capital crime is forgiven?

No, you're back, that's it?

What's the trouble, won't my meritorious emperor be able to do it?

Thinking of this, Zheng Xiu was so anxious that she was almost speechless.

What are you kidding, then I won't be looking forward to this night in vain!

"Little friend, congratulations, there are only two people who can get out of this prison alive, as far as the old man knows."

"One is the first assistant in the 116th year of the Xia calendar, who was sent to prison because of the case involving the prince, and later was pardoned by the emperor because of the needs of state affairs."

"One is a general in the forty-fourth year of the Xia calendar, who was imprisoned for being involved in a rebellion case, and was later proven innocent and was also released."

"And you're the third person."

The old man who drank Zheng Xiu's green ant wine said hello to Zheng Xiu and took two sips of wine.

"I won't drink you in vain with this wine, I'll give you a word of advice, if you can go out, it must be the one who thinks about it, and thinks more about it in the future."

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't care about Zheng Xiu who was taken away.

tightened his clothes, hugged a bundle of straw, and then began to sleep.

"That", who is that?

Is the saint today, the one who is called the most mediocre empress?

Can I still alarm the emperor, then I can ask her to take back her fate.

Zheng Xiu complained in his heart for a long time, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, people and him are not at the same level at all, thunder, rain and dew are all heavenly graces.

Although he is alive for the time being, it doesn't matter, because he has set a small goal in his heart to die for justice.

It may be difficult to live, but isn't it easy to seek death?

If he dies because of the wrong thing, it will be too inconsistent with his goals.

Zheng Xiu thought about it, and was sent home by a carriage.

Looking at the small courtyard with bright and clean windows, Zheng Xiu's eyelids jumped a little.

This broken yard is not to mention sheltering from the wind and rain, and it is estimated that the wind will blow and it will fall without protecting it.

Zheng Xiu just packed up his things and began to prepare for the court.

After all, after all the night, the sky was already dark.

From his small broken courtyard, he changed into a more decent-looking court robe and went to the court first.

There is nothing new under the sun, and it is still the same every morning.

It's just that he doesn't know if it's an illusion, he always feels that the empress looked at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Zheng Xiu thought about it, this faint monarch is usually fine, and he is not serious in the court, so it doesn't matter, he is the emperor, just watch it if you want to.

And when it came to the next court, no matter who the other people on the road were, they all consciously hid away when they saw him.

After all, for a person like him, I don't know how many people are counting on him to die.

Others are afraid that they will have something to do with him.

So he could only inquire about the location of the Ministry of Industry and walk towards the Ministry of Industry.

At the same time, some of the directors of the Ministry of Industry also sat together.

"What do you adults think of this newcomer, Lord Zheng Xiu?"

"What opinion, no opinion, as long as it doesn't delay me to make money, I don't care about him even if he plays with flowers."

"Alas, that's not what I said, we're not clean here after all, otherwise we wouldn't have let the last chief disappear, after all, it's an official of the imperial court."

"You can't let him have real power, so let him check the documents, he just came, he is not familiar with the situation, and he doesn't understand the amount of materials at all."

"Let's do this, give him all the paperwork for these three months, and when he finishes accounting, it will take half a year anyway."

"Okay, let's do it."

"I'm going to get the paperwork about the data."

"I'll go, I'll go."

"Go together, go together."

After a period of laborious inquiry, Zheng Xiu finally found an approximate location.

After all, others always hide from themselves, that is, some eunuchs who are born in the face can still show him the way.

And it wasn't until the moment he reported that the trouble really began.

Shangfeng finished explaining the precautions, and soon a small official came out to hand over to him.

"Look, my lord, this is your office location, and your task is to go through the paperwork and see if there are any inaccuracies."

The little official named Cao Zhen said as he pointed to a table full of papers, not even pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Zheng Xiu picked up a copy casually and read it.

I found that there are mostly the names of some items, the value geometry, the number of purchases, and the total price spent.

Not only is the amount very huge, but it is also written in capital letters.

It's dazzling to look at for a while.

Zheng Xiu saw less than a cup of tea, so he chose to put these things down silently, and then walked out of the door of the Ministry of Industry.
