After three rounds of drinking, everyone's conversation box naturally opened.

Emperor Dongjia saw that everyone here was also his right-hand man, or his close sons and daughters, and wanted to take this opportunity to ask everyone's opinions.

This matter has only recently erupted, the embezzlement incident. The source is just a common people suing the official, but they don't want to investigate the matter just happened to be a clean and honest inspector, the new official took office, thinking about making a career, so that the emperor can see his ability, the officials continue to dig deeper, but dig out a series of corrupt officials fraud, corruption and bribery, officials layer by layer of major incidents.

Such a scandal occurred at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the emperor was furious, and immediately ordered officials at all levels headed by Dali Temple to strictly investigate the matter, and must supervise and urge the party rebellion.

"Fu Yan, what do you think about the recent corruption case? Emperor Dongjia asked aloud. Chu Fuyan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, got up and bowed, "The minister thinks that hundreds of officials are corrupt and should be severely punished, if they are not severely punished, it will only make these corrupt officials worse, and there is no one in their eyes, so that the people will not be able to make a living." ”

Emperor Dongjia nodded and approved Chu Fuyan's statement. And then he set his eyes on Lin Qingjuan, who was sitting next to Chu Fuyan.

Lin Qingwan has always been very capable, if Lin Qingwan's attitude is similar to Chu Fuyan's, then Emperor Dongjia will also pay more attention to this. Sure enough, Lin Qingwan had the same attitude as Chu Fuyan in this matter.

"Back to Your Majesty, what the courtiers want is no different from their husbands. If you don't punish it severely, if the people complain, how can you come to the country and the people, and the world will be peaceful. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable, do other people have any opinions?" Emperor Dongjia has always been supportive of Lin Qingwan's opinions, so the rest of the people almost all hold the same opinion, after all, this kind of thing is said to be more wrong.

Therefore, the final result of everyone's discussion was to hope that the emperor would pay more attention to this matter. "In that case, let's step up efforts to supervise this matter. Dali Temple is not effective, and it has been delayed again and again, and it is necessary to find a suitable person to go. ”

As soon as Emperor Dongjia said this, everyone didn't dare to speak out again. First, originally Dali Temple also handled this matter, but they were not in a good position, and I was afraid that they would have to punish the crime together. If it is really severely punished, most of the officials in the government and the opposition are involved in this matter, and I am afraid that the career will come to an end in the future.

Seeing everyone's boos, Emperor Dongjia was a little dissatisfied, "Is there no one to take on this responsibility?"

Chu Yan got up, "The minister thinks that at this time, it is best for someone close to His Majesty to do it, and it is best to be the prince, so that the strength of the inspector will be great, and the ministers will be convinced." ”

Emperor Dongjia nodded, "What Aiqing said is reasonable, this matter should indeed be handed over to my princes." So, who of my princes can take on this important task?"

As soon as he heard this, Lu Yu, who had been standing aside for a long time, suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity. Originally, Lu Xian was gone, but he finally became

The most powerful contender for the throne is almost a sure winner.

But now, Emperor Dongjia suddenly summoned Lu Xian back to the palace, Lu Yu was a little flustered for a while, he didn't seem to understand Emperor Dongjia's heart, just because of a Lu Zhao called Lu Xian back to the palace. Lu Yu, who was angry, had been trying to find another opportunity to bring Lu Xian down, and now, this opportunity is right in front of him.

It just so happened that taking this opportunity, if Lu Xian was really asked to deal with this matter, then no matter what Lu Xian did, he would offend the ministers, and in the future, he would definitely not get the support of some important ministers of the DPRK and China, and Lu Xian would no longer be able to win the throne and compete with him.

"Father, the son thinks that the fourth brother can take on this important responsibility. First, he has been away from the court for a long time, so he doesn't have to worry about being involved with them, and the ability of the fourth brother is obvious to all. The fourth brother is the best person to supervise this matter. ”

As soon as Lu Yu's words came out, everyone had their own ideas. Especially Lu Xian, he really hates this big prince in his heart. Now that he has just returned to Beijing, is he so eager to make a move on himself?

Lin Qingwan had long expected that there would be such a situation, and she set up this situation just for today. Lu Yu's proposal is also in her plan, when Lu Xian comes back, Lu Yu will definitely use the topic to play and completely crush Lu Xian's road to the throne. Chu Fuyan noticed the change in the attitude of the people around him, and seemed to see the joy on Lin Qingwan's face, Chu Fuyan was a little puzzled, but it was not a good time to ask at this time.

"Xian'er, what do you think?" Emperor Dongjia opened his mouth to ask what Lu Xian meant, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Emperor Dongjia wanted an affirmative answer. How could Lu Xian not know?

It is very difficult for me to return to Beijing this time, and now if I go against my father's will, I am afraid that I will lose my favor forever in my father's place.

But if he really agrees, the impeachment of hundreds of officials and ministers this time is also the end of his future path to the throne, not to mention that almost half of the government and the opposition are involved in this corruption case, including himself.

Seeing that Lu Xian didn't answer for a long time, Emperor Dongjia frowned, "Xian'er, why hasn't you replied for a long time?" Lu Xian knew that he had to reply at this moment, so he wiped his sweat and stepped forward, "Father, the son thinks that he is really not waiting for this big responsibility." Erchen has just returned from Biansai, and he still needs to know more about the affairs of the court. Now if you are an inspector, I am afraid that you will not be able to show the majesty of the heavenly family. ”

Lu Yu naturally will not give up any opportunity to suppress Lu Xian, seeing Lu Xian's resignation, Lu Yu also understands a little bit in his heart, Lu Xian's resignation like this, I am afraid that it has something to do with this matter, then he must push this hot potato to Lu Xian.

"The fourth brother's words are wrong, the fourth brother's ability is obvious to all, and it is precisely because you have been away from the court for a period of time that it is better to get rid of this matter and really purge the traitorous party. ”

"Big brother, you!" Lu Xian was really anxious when he heard that Lu Yu was targeting him everywhere, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Dongjia.

Originally, Zhao Lu Xian returned to the palace for the sake of Zhao'er's face, but now he wants to hand over the task to this unsuccessful son, but Lu Xian shirks it in every possible way, which makes Emperor Dongjia even more dissatisfied.

"Xian'er, why do you want you to shirk this in every possible way, is it really incompetent or is there something else?"

Lu Xian knew that Emperor Dongjia was really angry, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Father, Erchen is not shirking, but Erchen really feels that he is not suitable for this matter and is incompetent, and the eldest brother seems to be so enthusiastic, how can it be better to let him do it!" Lu Xian became more and more angry the more he spoke, and finally when he talked about the eldest prince Lu Yu, his voice was mixed with hatred.

Seeing the-for-tat confrontation between the two princes, the remaining ministers, Lin Chu and the two families did not dare to speak out. Chu Fuyan originally wanted to get up and say a few words of his suggestions and opinions, but he didn't want to be pulled by Lin Qingwan on the side.

Chu Fuyan looked at Lin Qingjuan, but looked at Lin Qingjuan and shook his head at him, signaling him not to act rashly. Chu Fuyan knew that Lin Qingwan must have had his own plan, so he fixed his body and did not move in his seat.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the atmosphere to be extremely depressed, and Emperor Dongjia finally spoke up and looked straight at Lu Xian:

"This matter is up to you to do, if the supervision is unfavorable, and Dali Temple will be punished together!" Emperor Dongjia suddenly spoke, and directly named Lu Xian to do it. This matter is already a certainty, and it would be a great crime to resist the decree to shirk it.

"Yes, father, sons, please do your best. Lu Xian finally closed his eyes and turned his heart sideways, so he had to take this hot potato.

The result of this embezzlement was finally discussed, however, it ended with the angry order of Emperor Dongjia. The trouble was so unpleasant, but it made Emperor Dongjia's good interest completely destroyed.

After sobering up for more than half of the wine, Emperor Dongjia didn't want to continue to consume it, and everyone was out of interest, after all, the Son of Heaven was angry, and he was going to lose his head at every turn.

So this Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet was hasty, "Everyone, it's not too early, let's stop here today." Emperor Dongjia got up, Queen Yue glanced at Lin Qingwan, Lin Qingwan nodded, and Queen Yue helped Emperor Dongjia to retreat.

And Lin Qiuwen's expression was still not good, Lin Qingwan looked at it and sighed, I'm afraid that Lin Qiuwen's life will not be better in the future. After that, I'm afraid I'll still have to spend some time in this palace.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. The crowd bowed down and left the arena one after another. Chu Fuyan and Lin Qingwan also got up, Xu had been kneeling for a long time, his knees were a little sore, Lin Qingwan didn't stand firm when he got up, but Chu Fuyan was quick and hurriedly helped Lin Qingwan.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu. After Lin Qingwan stood firmly, he broke away from Chu Fuyan's arms and thanked him lightly. Then he walked to the carriage parked at the gate of the palace with the help of the bronze bird.

"Miss, are you alright? Tongque was a little worried, Lin Qingwan smiled, "Of course it's okay, don't worry." Let's go. And Lin Yanruo has been watching from the side for a long time, especially when Chu Fuyan is supporting Lin Qingwan, she has been biting her lower lip tightly, envying Chu Fuyan's feelings for Lin Qingwan.

"Husband, let's go together. Lin Yanruo saw that Lin Qingwan had already walked away from Tongque, and hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to take a sedan chair with Chu Fuyan.

But Chu Fuyan only thought about Lin Qingwan in his heart, "You go back by yourself first, I'll go find your sister." Before Lin Yanruo could say anything, he ordered his subordinates to let him and Lin Qingwan share a carriage. It's also convenient for herself to ask Lin Qingwan why she is so happy at the banquet today.

Lin Qingwan had already gotten into the carriage and waited for everyone to return to Chufu, thinking that it would be Lin Yanruo who would sit in one with him, but he didn't expect that the curtain was lifted, and it was Chu Fuyan who came up.
