Chapter 293: Mrs. Huo
Although she is Mrs. Huo, she was also arranged by Li Yunsheng to come to Huo's mansion.
Therefore, as soon as she saw Li Yunsheng's name, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous in her heart.
always felt that Li Dang was going to arrange something for her.
Actually, for Huo Dingwen, her feelings are very complicated.
She was originally the one who fell into the abyss, but it was Huo Dingwen who rescued her.
However, the person who instructed her to approach Huo Dingwen was Cui Yan.
Once the minister's house is raided, if it is not the whole family who is beheaded, then the relatives will be sent to the Department of Education.
To put it nicely, the reception is all people who are either rich or noble.
To put it mildly, it is a government brothel, a place to have fun.
And she was a young lady from an official eunuch's family, and once became a prostitute in the teaching department.
She can't forget that day, Cui Yan entered the Teaching Department and asked her by name.
And the two of them were alone in the same room, just when she thought the other party wanted it, Cui Yan nodded with satisfaction and said something that made her scratch her head.
'It's really suitable to be Mrs. Huo. β
At that time, she didn't know that there was an official from Weidi in Jingshi, named Huo Dingwen.
It wasn't until under Cui Yan's arrangement that she met the man in front of her.
And Huo Dingwen is also the only man who doesn't look at her with the eyes of a prostitute.
The two of them can be said to fall in love at first sight, and under Cui Yan's arrangement, it is very easy for her to settle down.
After getting rid of prostitution, she married into Huo Mansion and became Mrs. Huo.
She knew that Cui Yan was a member of the Li Party, and the head of the Li Party was the name on the envelope - Li Yunsheng.
After getting along for this period of time, she found that she really liked Huo Dingwen.
However, she also had to admit that she approached Huo Dingwen at the beginning just to settle down.
Moreover, under Cui Yan's coercion, she did many things behind Huo Dingwen's back.
Even if she finds out that she likes Huo Dingwen, it is too late to stop it.
Cui Yan grabbed her handle in his hand, as long as he didn't obey his words, he was likely to return to that dark place again.
"Madame, what's wrong with you?"
The reason why Huo Dingwen showed her the letter was because she was a young lady from an official eunuch's family.
For the set in the officialdom, I know more than Huo Dingwen's Shangshu Ling.
But what Huo Dingwen didn't expect was that she was scared like this just by looking at the envelope.
Mrs. Huo, who returned to God, turned her attention from the letter.
But when she saw the contents of the letter, she exclaimed in surprise and clutched it to her chest.
"This letter was written to you by Li Yunsheng?"
Huo Dingwen shook his head: "Although it is Li Yunsheng's name, this is not his handwriting." β
As soon as she heard that it was not Li Yunsheng's handwriting, Mrs. Huo also understood.
This letter was not from Li Dang's people coming at her, but from someone to Huo Dingwen.
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm worried too, it's publicβ"
Before Huo Dingwen finished speaking, Mrs. Huo immediately interrupted him.
"Never!"
"I know that this is the next step, so I am hesitating whether to report to Your Majesty in private and let Your Majesty make up your mind."
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Huo couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Could it be that the Qing officials in the world are all elm heads?
"Not even more!"
"Why can't that?"
Huo Dingwen was a little puzzled, but he did not make this matter public, nor did he hide it.
In his opinion, reporting privately is the best solution.
"Once you say this in front of Your Majesty, it is no different from making it public.
Moreover, if you tell Your Majesty, only you and Your Majesty will know about this matter, and if the news spreads in the future, who will spread it? β
Mrs. Huo pointed to the tip of Huo Dingwen's nose.
"Your Majesty's first suspicion is you."
Huo Dingwen argued.
"But this letter was sent to me by someone else, and I just played it as it is.
Even if it is spread in the future, it is possible that the person who wrote to me will spread it. β
"What evidence is there that someone else wrote to you?"
"It's-I-"
Huo Dingwen pointed to the letter, but was speechless.
Indeed, even if he took out the letter, His Majesty would think that he had written it, in order to get himself out.
Therefore, once he told the empress about this, it would be his fault if the news leaked in the future.
Moreover, this letter was indeed written by someone else, and once he told the empress in private, the person who sent the letter was very likely to release the news.
He couldn't help but start to be a little annoyed in his heart, who had set him such a trap.
If it weren't for his wife's reminder, he might have really gone into the trap.
"What's your idea?"
Mrs. Huo took the letter in her hand and cautiously glanced at it again.
Then she glanced at the fold on the table, which was still open, so she saw the word impeachment at a glance.
Mrs. Huo asked seemingly casually.
"What is written in the husband's recital, can I take a look?"
Huo Dingwen hesitated, but still picked up the fold and handed it to his wife.
"Tomorrow I will go up and impeach these corrupt officials."
Mrs. Huo soon saw that something was wrong.
"As far as I know, all the people you want to impeach are Li Party officials."
"Madame can see at a glance that this is what Your Majesty meant.
In order to rectify the rule of officials, His Majesty specially sent someone to send me evidence of corruption against these people. β
"I'm afraid, Your Majesty wants to rectify not the rule of officials, but the people of the Li Party."
"How is that possible!" Huo Dingwen picked up the list of people on the side, "This has evidence of their corruption." β
"But didn't you notice, these are Li Dang's people."
At this time, Huo Dingwen had not yet reacted to the true intentions of the empress.
"Yes, Li Yunsheng is the first corrupt official in the world, and of course all the people in the Li Party are corrupt officials."
"Could it be that everyone except the Li Party is a clean official?"
Mrs. Huo was speechless when she asked this sentence, and it was really impossible to think about it carefully.
If everyone in the royalists is a clean official, he doesn't believe it.
"The others, that's, that's His Majesty's people, maybe His Majesty doesn't want to touch them for the time being."
Huo Dingwen was a little unconfident when he said this, so his voice became smaller and smaller.
Mrs. Huo smiled softly.
"Therefore, it is not so much that His Majesty wants to rectify the rule of officials, but that His Majesty just wants to rectify the people of the Li Party.
Moreover, these seem to be officials who have not asked His Majesty to resign. β
has been with Huo Dingwen for a long time, and she has become more sensitive to things in officialdom.
Moreover, all the original servants of Shangshu Province that she knew, and all the six Shangshu were not on this list.
Huo Dingwen didn't want to dwell on this matter.
"Anyway, they are all corrupt officials, and if they can catch one, they will have one less.
You haven't said yet, what should be done with this letter? β
Mrs. Huo placed both the fold and the letter on the table.
"Let the owner of the White Bird Nunnery report to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and say that the concubine of the first emperor is missing."
