Chapter 208: A bite back

More than a month later.

The imperial court officials who had been sent to tour for more than a month returned to the court today as scheduled.

In the court, the incomplete official ranks for more than a month were finally neatly organized, and the emperor was at the top, looking at the crowd below, there was a rare feeling of refreshment in his heart.

"Today, all of you Aiqing, who has been touring for more than a month, finally returned to the court. Historian Pan! ”

"The minister is here."

"I order you to record this trip in every detail and enter it into the chronicles of the Long Wing Kingdom!"

He was rarely physically and mentally comfortable, so he even spoke in a lighter tone.

"Yes."

But apparently, the emperor's state of mind was calm before the storm.

Fang Cai's order was just a loose and ordinary order, but at this moment, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the court.

The four princes at the front of the line unusually tilted their heads to the right, and exchanged glances with the right minister on their right.

Soon the four princes walked out of the queue and said in a loud voice: "Father, about this parade, the sons have something to offer. ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Erchen followed the parade throughout the process, and found many problems in the local government on the way, especially the extravagance of expenses."

As if he had been prepared, the four princes began to talk endlessly as soon as they opened their mouths.

"First of all, in the Taizhou area, the county Chengfu is extravagant and wasteful on weekdays, and it is even worse down the level, comparable to the wine pond meat forest, how extravagant and absurd life is!"

"What? Spread my will, and all the people in Taizhou from the county to the lieutenant will be dismissed! The wind of corruption and arrogance must not be spread at once! When the emperor heard this, he was furious.

The original intention of this tour was to thoroughly investigate the stubborn diseases of the local government, but to the emperor's great disappointment, such a serious problem was found in Taizhou, the first stop.

"Father, this phenomenon is not only in Taizhou! There are also Fanzhou, Danzhou and other places, all of which have varying degrees of this phenomenon. ”

The Four Princes continued to report their findings.

"Anything else?" The emperor's anger is even worse, this problem is really layer after layer, endless!

"Back to my father, the most serious problem is not the place, but the imperial capital."

"Dijing?"

"Yes, Father. There are many wealthy businessmen and magnates in the imperial capital. But no one's pomp can compare to the salt and iron branch with a lot of oil and water, and dare to call it 'rich and rival the country'! ”

The fourth prince raised his head suddenly, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what, it seemed that this was the focus and purpose of his report.

Who is the salt and iron branch of the imperial capital? There is no doubt that it is Hua Zhao's father, Hua Zhenghui; And who is the one who can really be called the rich one? There is no doubt that it is still Hua Zhenghui.

The purpose of the four princes is clearly revealed at this moment.

"Father, this salt and iron branch is not only pompous, but also rich and noble, and even the sons and daughters have heard of it-although the truth of this statement needs to be studied, it is not groundless-the outer doors of the thatched houses in its mansion are all made of extremely pure gold!"

This statement can be said to have thrown a boulder on the surface of the lake that was already causing ripples.

It's completely aimed at Hua Zhenghui.

It's not over, and then the fourth prince handed over a look to the right, and the right minister stood out.

He said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has seen with his own eyes that his life is extravagant, extravagant and wasteful, and the minister seconded it!" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and then one, two, or even more officials involved in the parade stood up, shouting, "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

At this time, the pattern above the court has become clear, and all these officials who have come out to impeach Hua Zhenghui are undoubtedly people of the same line as the four princes.

The purpose of the fourth prince's trip was to pull Hua Zhenghui into the water and dampen the confidence of his Hua family.

The relationship between China and China can be seen by discerning people in the court.

This Hua family is Xu Zexuan's quasi-in-laws, once the rich and powerful Hua family in the imperial capital and Xu Zexuan form a marriage, then Xu Zexuan's matter is almost final.

At that time, what Hua Zhao brought to Xu Zexuan, whether it is financial resources or power, will become an important bargaining chip for him to win the heir in the future.

Even the current situation has the potential to turn things around.

The emperor saw the impeachment of one official after another in the audience, and his long-accumulated anger finally reached its peak, and his right hand slammed into a row on the armrest of the dragon chair, and this loud noise resounded throughout the court.

But it was silent.

"A good salt and iron branch, a good rich country, a good flower Zhenghui! Go down early today, Gonggong Jiang! ”

"The minions are here."

"Immediately Xuanhua Zhenghui will see you."

"Yes."

The court was scattered, and the officials were talking about it outside the main hall, and no one dared to speculate what kind of punishment Hua Zhenghui would receive, and no one knew what turmoil would happen in the court.

Xu Zexuan knew that this was all the naked revenge of the four princes against him.

More than a month ago, Dong Humeng's incident shocked the imperial capital, implicating thousands of people up and down the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion, and even the queen who had nothing to do with this matter was implicated.

The four princes are undoubtedly in a big wound.

This matter was not done by Xu Zexuan himself, but it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it, and there is even his role as a driving force in the back.

And how could the four princes give up?

Xu Zexuan started from his mother's family, so he would retaliate with a tooth for a tooth and start from his in-laws.

It just kills two birds with one stone, retaliates against him, and can also cause him to hurt his right arm.

The fourth prince turned around, Xu Zexuan happened to collide with his line of sight, and in an instant, lightning flickered.

He could clearly see the smug smile on the face of the fourth prince.

The matter of seizing the heir is already involved, and if you are not careful, it will affect the whole body.

……

Flower House.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Emperor Xuan's Jingyan Iron General Branch is Zhenghui, see you immediately!"

"The minister takes the order." Hua Zhenghui knelt on the ground and took the holy decree handed over by Gonggong Jiang with both hands.

He had heard all about the court today, and knew in his heart that something would happen, and it was really fulfilled at this moment.

And he had prepared it in advance.

At the same time that the four princes reported to the saint that he was extravagant and wasteful, Hua Zhenghui's eyeliner placed in the palace immediately flew pigeons to pass the book, and he learned in advance that he was impeached by the four princes.

He understood that as soon as this incident came out, the emperor would undoubtedly shake his foundation, and even take back his salt and iron management rights, which was a sign that the king's heart was shaken.

By now, he has unreasonably obstructed the deliberate framing of the four princes, and can only start from himself, hoping to alleviate the emperor's anger.

So he immediately sent someone to call Hua Zhao, hoping to start with her.

So Hua Zhao was called to the study of Huafu by Hua Zhenghui on the grounds of "having important matters to discuss".

Hua Zhao also learned the news with the help of Luo Huaiqing's ears and eyes, although she could not predict the prophet, but out of her understanding of the original book, she also did some psychological construction along the way.
