As soon as Zhou Gege returned to the West Wing, she quickly made a decision for the sake of the child in her belly.

Even if she offends Chang Fujin, she has to tell Lord Beile about it, and she can't go to Chang Fujin every once in a while to ask for peace.

After Yun'er helped her to the bed, Zhou Gege just thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and then instructed Yun'er: "Yun'er, you quickly go to the front yard to find Lord Belle, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Zhou Gege's faint voice came into Yun'er's ears, and Yun'er frowned slightly, but still nodded and walked towards the study in the front yard.

After Yun'er walked away, Zhou Gege couldn't help but whisper to the other maids in the house, and the maids retreated, and the house fell silent for a while.

Outside the study in the front yard of Baylor Mansion, Yun'er looked at Steward Yan, her tone was as soothing as possible, and explained to Steward Yan what happened in Dongnuan Pavilion today.

After hearing this, Steward Yan frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Yun'er's somewhat frightened face, then he nodded, and replied to Yun'er: "Okay, I will inform Lord Belle about this when Lord Belle comes back, you go back first." ”

Yun'er hurriedly responded, and slowly spoke: "Then it's time to worry about the strict housekeeper." ”

Steward Yan nodded lightly after hearing this, and ignored her.

At this time, in the Qianqing Palace in the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, glanced at the officials and princes standing below with a majestic expression, and planned to disperse after the last sentence as usual.

"All Aiqing still have something to play, there is a morning play, and there is nothing to retreat." The emperor glanced at the people below seriously, and then asked.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, two ministers came out, one was Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Industry, and the other was Lord Chen from the Ministry of Households.

The two glanced at each other, and their eyes seemed to imply that the other party had to let them play the emperor first, but no one was polite, and both of them were vying to present the song they wrote to the emperor first.

Gonggong Li stood on the left side of the emperor's throne, looked at the two officials who were fighting with each other, and hurriedly went down to collect the folds of the two officials and handed them to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Lord Zhang's fold, his eyes immediately widened, and he glanced at Lord Zhang who was bent down and the prince beside him in surprise.

The ministers below looked at the emperor's face and seemed to be a little angry, frowning tightly, and they didn't dare to say more.

The emperor did not have a seizure after reading Lord Zhang's excerpt, first, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the content of Lord Zhang's excerpt, and secondly, if he questioned the prince in front of the ministers, it would be detrimental to the prince's prestige, so the emperor eased his expression slightly.

However, when he opened Lord Chen's excerpt, he looked at the content on the excerpt, and it was extremely similar to the content of Lord Zhang, both of whom were protégés of Prince Shen.

The emperor angrily threw the two folds on the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and the officials were stunned for a moment, seeing that the emperor was angry, they knelt down one after another, and the prince glanced at the emperor nervously, and then carefully followed suit.

Master Zhang and Lord Chen also knelt on the ground tremblingly, waiting for the emperor's inquiry, both of them had been to the Yueminglou Tea Garden, and the fortune teller Daxian specially told them: wealth and wealth are in danger, and then gave them a list of corruption, and asked them to report these people's corruption.

Both of them have also been officials in the court for many years, but because they are Hanchen, their official positions have not been promoted much, and the appearance of fortune-telling immortals has made the mood of the two promotions ready to move, so they have the courage to fold, but I didn't expect the emperor to be a little angry at this time.

"Is it true that you two are participating?" The emperor asked the two almost sharply.

Lord Chen of the household department was sweaty, a little timid for a while, and his speech was a little hesitant, but it was still the Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Industry on the side who was bold, and replied without humility or arrogance.

"Your Majesty, every sentence played by the ministers is true, and it can be verified."

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace suddenly became a little dull, and the emperor looked at him with some surprise, this matter was not trivial, involving more than a dozen officials, almost all of them were officials under the crown prince and Suo Etu.

The emperor glanced at the Lord Zhang coldly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and coldly threw out two words, "Scattered Dynasty".

As soon as he got up from the throne, the emperor glanced at the officials who had not yet dispersed, "Mingzhu and the two officials who played together followed me to the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

When the prince heard the emperor say that he was scattering the dynasty, his hanging heart was relieved, and he soon walked towards Yuqing Palace.

In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Nalan Mingzhu stood respectfully in front of the emperor, the two officials stood behind him, and Gonggong Li had already picked up the two letters that the emperor threw on the main hall.

The Lord Chen of the Ministry of Household lowered his head, not daring to look at the emperor's gaze, and the other Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Industry seemed much calmer, he was summoned by the emperor alone on weekdays, and he only wanted to seize the opportunity.

After the emperor sat down, he handed one of the folds to Nalan Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, look at this fold." ”

Nalan Mingzhu slowly raised his head, respectfully took the fold from the emperor's hand with both hands, looked at the contents of the fold with a serious expression, and then was very shocked, but secretly thought in his heart: I finally found an opportunity.

The emperor took advantage of Nalan Mingzhu's efforts to look at the folded letter, and glanced at the two officials with blazing eyes, among which the one from the Ministry of Industry was neither humble nor arrogant.

After a while, the emperor saw that Nalan Mingzhu had finished reading the letter, his face changed, and he asked without being salty, "Mingzhu, what do you think of the content of this letter?" ”

Nalan Mingzhu's face pretended to be stunned, and his heart had already floated with a lot of joy, he had been fighting with Suo Etu for so many years, no one had taken advantage of anyone, and he never thought that such a good time would appear today, and he would encounter someone impeaching Suo Etu and the officials under the prince for corruption and bribery.

He had long wanted to get rid of Suo Etu, a big problem in his heart, and the emperor asked for his ideas, of course he would not let it go, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the servants feel that although these officials are the protégés of the prince and Suo Xiang, if corruption prevails, it will inevitably affect the imperial court." Slaves are courageous, and such corrupt officials must be strictly investigated in order to correct the style of officialdom. ”

His words were very light, but the emperor frowned, showing a worried face, his government has always been lenient, those corrupt officials, there are many ministers of the court, if it is strictly investigated, the court does not know how many corrupt officials will be found, the stakes are the most worrying for the emperor.

Lord Zhang, the official of the Ministry of Industry behind Nalan Mingzhu, seemed to see the emperor's concern, and without waiting for the emperor to let him speak, he spoke.

"Your Majesty, Wechen dared to say bluntly, if it is strictly investigated, it will definitely affect the court, Wechen suggests that those corrupt officials are temporarily shocked, and if they can return the embezzled money, they will not be held accountable"

When Lord Chen from the Ministry of Industry next to him heard some of his words, the pores all over his body stood up, and he vaguely seemed to have some feelings, what this Lord Zhang from the Ministry of Industry said seemed to be an official corruption? ! It seems to be somewhat similar to the excerpt he gave to the emperor.

When the emperor and Nalan Mingzhu heard this Lord Zhang's words, they all looked at him.

But the emperor did not reply to his words, but ordered Mingzhu to investigate the matter strictly, and let him withdraw from the Heart Cultivation Hall together with the Lord Chen of the household department.

On the way out of the palace, both of them were a little disappointed, the emperor called them to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he didn't ask them anything, the Lord Chen of the household department was a little hindsight, and couldn't help but ask Lord Zhang, "Lord Zhang, what you played to the emperor was the corruption of the crown prince and the officials under Suo Xiang?" ”

After hearing this, Master Zhang looked at him with a shocked face, was slightly stunned, and asked rhetorically, "Are you too?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then flashed a monstrous surprise.

Newcomers and new books, ask for collections, ask for recommendations, ask for comments, all kinds of requests.
