As soon as these words came out, not only Li Mu, but even Emperor Chengjing's complexion changed in an instant.

But at this moment, the utility of the presence of all civil and military officials was reflected.

It is true that if Pei Yao has a problem, he will not be able to repay the account if he is confronted on the spot, and his reputation will be ruined, but if he has no problem, in front of the civil and military officials, Emperor Chengjing cannot forcibly charge him.

Li Mu is the prime minister, Lu Chuan is also, or appointed by the first emperor, in terms of it, Pei Yao's power in the court is no worse than that of the eldest prince.

So at this moment, Emperor Chengjing had to pinch his nose and ask Pei Yao to bring up his account book.

"The account book is now in the yamen, and the retainers will immediately send someone to get it." Pei Yao said.

Hearing this, Li Mu immediately opened his mouth, "The prince sent someone to go, it is inevitably suspicious, the emperor, the minister thinks that it is most appropriate for the emperor to send someone to pick it up." ”

When he said this, Pei Yao glanced at him coldly, sneered, and arched his hand.

"Since Prime Minister Li Cheng is not at ease and feels that he is lonely and suspicious, then please ask my father to send someone to go with his son's inner servant."

These words were a little yin and yang, and the faces of Emperor Chengjing and Li Mu were a little unsightly.

But Emperor Chengjing finally sent his cronies to find Hong Zheng, who was waiting outside the palace, and went to the yamen where Pei Yao worked together to get the account books.

The matter was even outside the palace, so during this period, the East Palace also quickly got some news.

The content is that Pei Yao was framed for embezzlement of disaster relief money and food, and at this moment he was detained by the emperor in the Jinluan Palace, and it was verified by the dynasty.

Concubine Yang is the most well-informed, which is also due to the fact that she has been in the East Palace for so long and has always been kind to her slaves, and her kung fu is not in vain.

Especially now that she is pregnant, the crown princess has contracted the epidemic and died nine times.

How many people secretly speculated that if the crown princess was sick, would Concubine Yang be corrected.

In this way, it is even more difficult to stammer, and the news is sent immediately.

And after learning the news, Concubine Yang also changed her face suddenly.

Corruption, that's not a trivial matter, or the dynasty was detained by Emperor Chengjing, if it is true, then Pei Yao will be in danger this time!

"The soldiers and horses of Huizhou rushed over, it will take a day at the earliest, quickly, Yunrou, you write a letter to my father, let him be on guard immediately, if there is something wrong in the capital, immediately try to solve the prince's predicament, and wait until His Royal Highness really has an accident, the East Palace is sealed, and the news will not be delivered!"

Yun Rou was also frightened and turned white, and she went busily.

And Yun Qian's side also supported Yang's and carefully comforted her, lest Yang have a fetal gas.

However, as the concubine of Nanning Houfu, the Yang family still had a little courage and courage, and quickly calmed down.

"I see that His Royal Highness has always been cautious, and he is a righteous gentleman, so he should not do anything to embezzle money and food for disaster relief, this time it is most likely that the eldest prince and others are framed, and His Highness may have a countermeasure."

"Yes, Concubine Fang, you are pregnant now, you have to be more careful, don't be frightened and worried, you have fetal gas."

Yun Qian carefully persuaded.

However, when she said this, Yang's eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something, and then said in a low voice.

"Such an important matter, I am a concubine and a pregnant woman, and my mother's family is still far away in Huizhou, so I can't help His Royal Highness if I know it, and the Lu family behind the crown princess has to be able to help one or two."

Yun Qian was slightly stunned, and then bowed to herself, "The slave maid immediately ordered someone to inform the princess." ”

And at this time, Biluo Zhai.

Fang Yu also knew the news that Pei Yao was in danger a little later, but she quickly sensed that something was wrong.

"I was called by His Royal Highness to the front yard to serve the pen and ink, and I happened to meet the second prince to discuss with His Royal Highness, looking at Hong Zheng's behavior, it seems that the relationship between the second prince and His Royal Highness is good, the father-in-law of the two princes is a household servant, how can His Royal Highness suffer a loss in the household department."

"But the slave maid heard that the second prince is now going north to help the eldest prince for disaster relief, could it be that these two princes turned against the water and used his position as a father-in-law to join forces with the eldest prince to deal with His Royal Highness?"

Qingrong frowned and questioned.

Fang Yu's eyes sank, and after thinking for a moment, he still shook his head.

"It's useless to think too much, we can't do anything here, it's better to protect our own good first, the hundred-legged insect dies without stiffness, and His Royal Highness's power cannot be underestimated, this time if the eldest prince and his party calculate, it will never be possible to completely bring down His Highness at one time."

Hearing her say this, Qingrong had no choice but to nod and say no more.

Throne room.

In less than half an hour, the account book that Pei Yao said was taken to the scene.

Now the three account books are placed together and presented in front of Emperor Chengjing.

After reading it, Emperor Chengjing's expression became a little stiff.

Seeing this, Li Mu's heart became more and more abrupt, his back was also a little tight, and he faintly felt as if he had fallen into a trap.

And at this moment, Pei Yao had already spoken in a deep voice.

"The three account books that the imperial uncle saw are not fake, but if you only look at two of them, it is naturally not right, the son did ask the household department for four million taels of silver, 1.65 million stone rice, of which seventy percent has been transported north by the military department and handed over to the eldest prince, but the remaining thirty percent were not embezzled by the son, but were sent by the son of another person, directly sent to the most affected states and counties, and the local officials directly took it to help the victims, this third account book, written clearly, if the emperor uncle does not believe it, he can send someone north to verify."

After he finished speaking, before Emperor Chengjing could speak, Li Mu couldn't sit still and asked sharply.

"The prince asked the household for food and money, why didn't he send it to the disaster area separately, such an act would inevitably make people suspicious, and the disaster relief was ordered by the emperor, and the eldest prince was responsible, the prince was overstepping his authority!"

"If Gu didn't act like this, I'm afraid that the number of refugees fleeing south at this moment will be twice as many as the number of refugees in the capital!"

At this moment, Pei Yao also changed his gentle attitude, and his eyes were sharp at Li Mu, not angry and arrogant.

Somehow, Li Mu, who was an official in the two dynasties, vaguely felt a bit of the power of the first emperor in Pei Yao at this moment, and inexplicably felt a trace of fear from the bottom of his heart for this young prince who could be his grandson.

Pei Yao didn't care what he thought in his heart, and only continued to say to Emperor Chengjing in a deep voice.

"The allocation of money and food in batches this time is indeed a decision made by the sons and daughters privately, but because they thought that the eldest prince went north all the way to check the disaster situation, and it took too long, so he sent a part of the money and grain first, to solve the urgent needs of the local people, and the sons thought that the emperor would hand over the logistics allocation of money and food to the sons and daughters, and the sons could be so dispatched, but they did not expect to attract people with ill intentions, so slander and planting, and ask the emperor to be the master of the sons and daughters!"

His voice was calm and powerful, and every official present could hear it clearly, and even more so Emperor Chengjing.

At this moment, Lu Chuan also followed closely to speak.

"Your Majesty, since this person jumped out today to slander the prince for corruption, Prime Minister Li Cheng is pressing step by step,-for-tat everywhere, lest he can't detain this corruption charge on the prince's body, and the ministers look at it, this Lord Qin is only six grades, where can I get these two account books, and I found that the abnormality was not reported to the household department for the first time, but it was revealed by the dynasty, and it was played at a higher level, who gave him the courage, or, who instructed him!"

As the two of them spoke one after another, Li Mu's face gradually became dark and blue, his old face was stiff and trembling, and his beard trembled a little.

Emperor Chengjing was not much better at the moment, and when he glanced at Li Mu, his brows were twisted.

In the end, I had to say that the matter was very important, and we would discuss this matter after we had to send someone to verify it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is still biased towards Prime Minister Li and the eldest prince, but this time it is indeed far-fetched, I am afraid that Prime Minister Li will have to suffer a little.

As soon as things were delayed, when the morning dynasty dispersed, it was already almost noon, how embarrassed Li Mu and the others were, how happy Pei Yao was.

happened to have something to discuss, so Pei Yao called Prime Minister Lu and others to go to the East Palace to discuss matters together.

However, as soon as he came back, he saw Fuxi's ugly face and rushed forward, crying and mourning, and knelt down.

"Your Royal Highness, it's not good, the crown princess heard that you were framed in the court, and she was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted, and she hasn't woken up yet!"
