Great Ye Empress

Chapter 243
"There are not many people who can tell the truth with me. I want to hear the truth from you..." The emperor tapped on the official document, "What do you think about this Xie Yunchu..."

"Since Your Majesty wants to hear it, the old slave will dare to express his opinion." Eunuch Gao said with a smile, "This little Xie s... Mrs. Xie... Even His Majesty said that he is a loyal and patriotic person, and Mr. Xie has been taught by Mr. Xie since he was a child, so he will naturally be influenced by Mr. Xie!"

The emperor nodded.

"Master Xiao Xie is smart, and he has the energy of a new-born calf that is not afraid of tigers. The old slave remembers... Niu Yushi once said that Master Xiao Xie handed Su Minghang's ledger to him a few years ago, not to Xie Shangshu, to say... ... Xie Shangshu allowed the eldest daughter of the Xie family to suffer in the Su family without helping her, so she couldn't trust Xie Shangshu!"

Eunuch Gao looked at the emperor's face, and continued: "Again... this time in the courtroom, Lord Xie even accused Xie Shangshu. I'm afraid that this is the personal resentment of this little Langjun."

The emperor agreed with it.

For so many years... Xie Jinyuan has always been cautious, the emperor did not find out that Xie Jinyuan had formed a party, but the two sons of the emperor himself... Since Xie Jinyuan became the official minister, he has been attracting him, but Xie Jinyuan is not moved, like this People cannot be greedy.

Therefore, the emperor agreed with Eunuch Gao, and Xie Yunchu's accusation of Xie Shangshu was a personal grudge.

"Sanyuanjidi, you are young, you should be young! When the old slave went down to send the word Sanyuanjidi to Lord Xiao Xie, seeing the eyes of Mrs. Xie, clean and clear, it shows that this person's mind is also very clear. Clean, when it comes to His Majesty... the longing and admiration in the eyes of Lord Xie, this old slave doesn't look like a fake! Come to think of it... This is also related to the Fifth Highness!"

Eunuch Gao said with a smile: "His Royal Highness and this little Xie are brothers and sisters in the same sect. The old slave seems to have a good relationship. The fifth prince asked you to open the warehouse before, and went in to find a piece of good jade. The tail fox is for this little Xie lord."

The emperor smiled when he heard Xiao Wulang, his most beloved son.

It is said that Xiao Wulang is naughty, but the emperor knew that he condoned this naughty.

Xiao Wulang's mother was beautiful but died young, which was the saddest thing in the emperor's heart.

Xiao Wulang has no strong mother's support behind his cleverness. He can only rely on the emperor's love. Even the child once told him bluntly that he was stubborn because he had His Majesty's father behind him, so he was not afraid of anything...

It is precisely because there is no intricate maternal power behind the fifth prince, and the frankness of the fifth prince, the emperor has more father-son affection for Xiao Wulang than other princes, and it is natural to love him.

"Old slave thinks, the fifth prince will definitely talk about His Majesty with Lord Xiao Xie every day. His Majesty has always respected and loved His Majesty, and he is the one who is closest to His Majesty and the most beloved among His Majesty's princes! Lord Xie is also influenced by His Majesty the Fifth Prince. Inevitably."

When the emperor heard this, he thought about it and said, "Speaking of the fifth, you will call the fifth today and let him accompany me for lunch."

"Yes!" Eunuch Gao responded with a smile.

The emperor rationalized his thoughts and held up the teacup...

Since Xie Yunchu and Xie Jinyuan had a falling out in the early years because of the eldest daughter of the Xie family, he was not afraid to reuse Xie Yunchu and make the Xie family dominance in the DPRK.

He can completely take advantage of the grievances between Xie Yunchu and Xie Jinyuan, and let them both work for him and oppose each other.

·
The eldest prince has just made an agreement with the third prince, sacrificing Xue Zhi, the minister of household under the eldest prince, to protect the third prince's elder brother, Shen Yanxing, the servant of the military department, the third prince will try his best to push the person of the eldest prince to take the position of minister of household, to avoid Now the fourth child, whose foundation is not stable, takes advantage.

When the eldest prince did not know how to tell Xue Zhi, the minister of household affairs, Xue Zhi first asked to see the eldest prince, and sent the news that the emperor ordered Dali Temple to arrest Wang Qiudao to the eldest prince.

"What happened to the arrest of Wang Qiudao, the former prefect of Taiyuan Mansion?" The eldest prince frowned.

"When Wang Qiudao was in office, he asked the court to allocate funds to build the granary, but the money was not used for the construction of the granary. Besides... In the ninth year of Yuanfeng, Taiyuan reported a drought, and asked the court to allocate rations for disaster relief. Taiyuan also did not There is no drought!" Xue Shangshu wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, "Now these things have been found out by Xie Yunchu who went to Taiyuan Prefecture to investigate the disaster relief and corruption case, and His Majesty has ordered Dali Temple to arrest Wang Qiudao."

The eldest prince was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Xue Shangshu: "What does this matter...what does it have to do with you?"

Xue Zhi hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness forgot! In the ninth year of Yuanfeng, there are still three months left for His Majesty's birthday. At that time, His Majesty could not have any money to prepare gifts for His Majesty. At that time, Wang Qiudao... gave His Majesty the money! The matter not only involves the Ministry of Households... but also the Ministry of Works, at that time, Mr. Dong of the Ministry of Works had not yet started his official career!"

The eldest prince tightened his fists, and Dong Pinggao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who had already entered office, was the uncle of the eldest prince.

At that time, the eldest prince received two sums of money, one from Wang Qiudao and one from his uncle... He also mentioned the construction of the granary.

The eldest prince also warned at that time that the granary is related to people's livelihood, and he would rather build it less or not...

Unexpectedly, they actually did not build it!

Really... greedy is not afraid of heaven and earth!

When Xue Zhi saw the eldest prince's complexion changed greatly, he hurriedly continued: "The next year, Wang Qiudao reported the severe drought in Taiyuan and the lack of food. It was also two months before His Majesty's birthday, and he sent gifts and silver to His Highness. At that time, His Majesty presented the congratulatory gift to His Majesty, and His Majesty was very happy and praised His Majesty!"

"So, Wang Qiudao is so greedy...for the sake of His Highness!" The eldest prince's voice rose suddenly.

Xue Zhi hurriedly knelt down: "Wei Chen has absolutely no intention of this. When Wei Chen came to His Highness, he just hoped that His Highness could find a way. If Xie Yunchu brought the people from Taiyuan House back to Bianjing, the matter would be hidden! Then... ... It's not just that the Ministry of Households is going to have a big problem, and it is difficult to ensure that the Ministry of Works is liquidated... If someone reveals the use of this greedy money, it will be detrimental to His Highness!"

The eldest prince looked gloomy, looked at Xue Zhi like a torch, gritted his teeth, and remembered the words of the third prince.

Disaster relief and corruption cases are too big, and in the end someone always has to stand up and take responsibility.

That being the case, then let Xue Zhi, the high-ranking minister of the household, stand up and take the responsibility, and it can be considered to be able to explain the past to the father and the officials.

Now that things have reached this stage, two corruption cases have been involved.

Then let the ministers of the Ministry of Finance stand up to him, until he is here...

As for the Ministry of Industry, the eldest prince still wanted to protect his uncle.
