After wearing the book, the Buddhist imperial concubine has spoiled again

Chapter 62 Disappointment
Hearing this, Pei Xuanling raised his foot and walked towards Fan Songkang.

There was a pillow-sized stone in front of Fan Songkang, which was mostly covered with yellow mud.

Even if the original appearance is covered by the mud, it is still difficult to hide the warm light of the jade.

Seeing this, he ordered someone to bring several buckets of water to wash the stones.

After rinsing, the beige rough stone was revealed.

The original stone is delicate and pure, and it glows with a soft aura under the sun, moist and transparent.

After looking at it with their eyes, touching it with their hands, and examining it with light, they finally confirmed that it was a piece of Hetian jade.

Not only that, Fan Songkang also said: "Your Highness, Lord Shangshu, and colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, this Hetian jade and that Bahrain stone, no matter the color or size, are consistent with the two jades lost in the warehouse."

"It's good if you find it." Song Fu said slightly, "Now that the jade is found, as for why these two pieces of jade are here, have you seen any suspicious people in the past few days?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one dared to speak.

Pei Xuanling tried to analyze, "Since the jade was found in the courtyard of the Ministry of Rites, it must have been done by someone in the Ministry of Rites. Moreover, this person is very powerful, and may be in charge of collecting tributes."

Speaking of this, he looked at Liang Chunrong, "As far as I know, Mr. Liang just meets these two conditions. No wonder your reaction is the most violent when the lonely man is looking for stones beside the rockery!"

At this moment, Liang Chunrong had beads of sweat on his forehead and cheeks.

"His Royal Highness, what you said is wrong. According to what you said, Mr. Fan also meets these two conditions?"

He first refuted the crown prince's words, and then knelt down to Song Fu, "Master Song, you have been wronged, you know me, even if His Royal Highness enters the Ministry of Rites, I will only be loyal to you."

"Because of this, His Royal Highness doesn't like me everywhere. He just wants to eliminate dissidents. You have to make the decision for me!"

Zhu Ji also spoke for Liang Chunrong: "Master Song, Mr. Liang has always been upright. I think there must be some misunderstanding."

Liang Chunrong is his capable subordinate, if he can protect him, he must protect him.

Pei Xuanling was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, he just said to the people present: "As long as you provide real clues, you will all be rewarded, but if anyone who knows the truth and does not report it, once he is found out by the orphan at that time, he will be dismissed from his post at least, and at worst he will be sentenced! "

As soon as the voice fell, an official from the Ministry of Rites said: "His Royal Highness, I remembered that a few nights ago, I left something in the Ministry of Rites. I returned to the Ministry of Rites late at night to pick up things, but I saw Mr. Liang moving stones beside the rockery."

"At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I took my things and went home. Looking at it now, Master Liang must have moved these two pieces of jade."

Then, another guard guarding the warehouse also said: "I also remembered that, the night before the jade was lost, Mr. Liang suddenly showed sympathy for us, saying that he wanted to invite us to eat roast duck, so as to drive us away, and then the next day, It was reported that two pieces of tribute jade were lost in the warehouse.”

Next, more and more people came forward and said what they thought was suspicious.

There are various indications that this matter is what Liang Chunrong did!
Fan Songkang: "Liang Chunrong, you also said that His Royal Highness wants to eliminate dissidents. You obviously feel the crisis when His Highness appreciates me. I think you are the one who wants to eliminate dissidents!"

"You are all talking nonsense!" Liang Chunrong hugged Song Fu's thigh, dying to sophistry, "Master Song, I was wronged for being an official, and I was wronged for being an official."

Before the prince entered the Ministry of Rites, he was appreciated by both Zhu Ji and Song Fu.

As for Fan Songkang, he is just an idiot that no one can look up to!
But since the crown prince joined the Ministry of Rites, Fan Songkang has been appreciated by the crown prince, and his status in the Ministry of Rites has gradually improved.

He was afraid that one day Fan Songkang would overtake him and replace him!
Therefore, he deliberately hid the tribute and wanted to use this to get rid of Fan Songkang.

He also deliberately chose something that was not too expensive, so that not only would Fan Songkang be charged with negligent care, but the matter would not cause too much trouble.

I didn't think about it, but things still made a big fuss.

He literally lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot!
"Little Liang, you really disappointed me!" Song Fu pushed Liang Chunrong away, "I will truthfully report everything you have done to the emperor!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhu Ji also said, "Xiao Liang, I am also very disappointed in you."

By this time, the truth had come to light.

Everyone in the Ministry of Rites sorted out the personal and physical evidence, covered Liang Chunrong's mouth with a cloth strip, and escorted Liang Chunrong to the palace of Emperor Jianyuan.

When they got there, several ministers of the Ministry of Rites reported the incident to the emperor.

After hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan said on the spot: "Liang Chunrong, the chief guest of the Ministry of Rites, framed his colleagues and disrupted the discipline of the Ministry of Rites because of his own selfish desires. He is now dismissed from his position, demoted to a commoner, and exiled to the northwest border pass three thousand miles away."

Hearing this, Liang Chunrong, who was kneeling on his head, shook his head desperately, and let out a "woo woo" sound.

However, with a cloth strip stuffed in his mouth, no amount of words could come out.

Every year, about [-]% of the criminals who go to the border for exile die on the way.

In the end, only [-]% of the people survived to reach the border.

Whether the remaining [-]% can survive is still a question.

"Your Majesty, Liang Chunrong is a subordinate that I trust more." Song Fu looked ashamed, "It's okay for me to discipline you, I'm sorry for the emperor, I'm sorry for my colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, and I ask the emperor to punish me!"

Emperor Jianyuan didn't express his attitude, he just looked at the prince, and deliberately tried to say: "Prince, Mr. Song is an official under you. When the tribute was lost, you were the one who was most affected. Now, Mr. Song will leave it to you to deal with. "

"." When Song Fu heard that the emperor had handed him over to the prince, his heart ached.

Pei Xuanling just discussed the matter, "I think that no matter how strict the law is, it can't restrain everyone, and no matter how self-denying and dedicated to the public, it can't restrain all subordinates."

"The loss of the tribute this time is mainly due to Liang Chunrong's problem. At most, Lord Song just trusts Liang Chunrong. Once the truth is revealed, what he did is fairly fair. Therefore, I do not recommend punishing Lord Song."

Song Fu disapproved of him, but it is not a gentleman's style to add insult to injury.

Moreover, this time, he really didn't think Song Fu was guilty of much.

In addition, the father doesn't look like he wants to punish Song Fu.

So, why didn't he sell Song Fu a favor?
Hearing this, Song Fu was slightly startled.

He has always been dissatisfied with the prince, and he entered the Ministry of Rites from the prince, and did not cooperate well with the prince's work.

Especially when the tribute was lost this time, he and Zhu Ji once questioned the prince's ability to employ people.

Later, the prince asked people to look for jade in the rockery, but he also strongly opposed it.

I thought the prince would take this opportunity to suppress him or target him.

I never thought that the crown prince didn't hit someone when he was in trouble.

Is the prince trying to win him over?

Well, it must be because of this.

First up, Emperor Jianyuan said, "Since the crown prince does not suggest punishing Song Aiqing, then Song Aiqing will be exempted from punishment."

Song Fu: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not punishing me."

Fan Songkang: "." Master Song only thanked the emperor, but not the crown prince. It was obvious that he still didn't obey the crown prince very much.

The matter was almost settled, and Emperor Jianyuan waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow the kings of Chu and Shu will go to Beijing to pay tribute, so please go back to the Ministry of Rites to arrange the reception."

Everyone: "Yes, I will take my leave!"

Back at the Ministry of Rites, Pei Xuanling summoned the ministers of the Ministry of Rites to discuss the reception of the two feudal lords.

After the loss of the tribute, some ministers who were not very obedient to the prince gradually began to become obedient.

Only a few old and stubborn, or sour Confucianism, still do not obey the prince, but they have to pretend to be obedient.

After the discussion, Pei Xuanling dismissed everyone and went to the study to review official documents.

Until the afternoon, Huang Dechang came in with a red lacquered gold box in one hand and a fly whisk in the other.

"Your Highness, there is news from the bottom. Regarding the fact that you have been assassinated many times, it is finally found out."

Pei Xuanling's writing hand paused slightly, "Say."
