After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 54
It was just the beginning of the sun, and the huge imperial city was covered with a layer of light and bright colors, and the ridge beasts on the eaves showed light and shadow, and they were even more majestic, as if they were really standing there.

In the hall, the hall was full of ministers, all of them bowed their heads and looked down, silent, as if they were afraid that the next young emperor would call their names.

Jiang Huaiyang sat upright at the top, wearing a bright yellow court dress, pursing his lips, his brows seemed to be covered with cold frost, and he seemed to have other thoughts in his heart.

His eyes wandered among the ministers for a while, and he said in a deep voice, "If the lovers have nothing to say today, then I will speak first."

Gradually there were people below looking at each other, it wasn't that they had nothing to do, but seeing the new emperor's uneasy expression, no one wanted to speak first, and offended him.

Now seeing that he had something to say, he was afraid that he would be the one who made trouble for him, and everyone would be in danger, and hoped that there would be some adult around him who would explain some trivial matters, and if he dragged on for a while, maybe the emperor would be disturbed by all kinds of things. I forgot what I was going to say.

Master Cheng stood near the door, it was not easy to be noticed by Jiang Huaiyang, so he was more courageous, and quietly raised his eyes to glance at him.

Since the new emperor came to the throne, although he is young, he has been ruthless, causing many senior ministers to mention him with fear.But Master Cheng is not in a panic right now, as if he has a relationship with the eldest princess, there is nothing to be afraid of if he is related to her.

Even ignoring the chilling aura around him like the autumn wind, Master Cheng realized for the first time that the new emperor was actually not as old as the eldest son in his family.

Thinking of this, he skimmed over what he was going to play in his mind, stepped out of the train, brushed his front lapel and knelt in front of the emperor, "I have my own play."

Perhaps it was far away, Master Cheng didn't know, but Jiang Huaiyang's eyes kept falling on him.Although he was watching him from afar, Jiang Huaiyang's thoughts could not help but drift to the side, the hall was silent, but there seemed to be a bell ringing in his ears.

He remembered that the little lady was the daughter-in-law of Cheng Yushi's family.

No matter what he thought in his heart, his complexion remained unchanged, and he was still cold in the eyes of others.He said, "Aiqing, please tell me."

Master Cheng squeezed the wat board tightly in his hand, "A few days ago, someone reported that in the past four years, the prefect of Moyang had been withholding military pay one after another, with a total of thousands of taels of silver. It has been verified. But the money is missing. I hope His Majesty will send someone to bring it back."

Hearing this, Jiang Huaiyang sneered suddenly, and said slowly, "What I want to talk about is exactly this case. Now that Aiqing mentioned it, it's just right."

The officials below were all tense, they couldn't help but look in the direction of Master Cheng, and secretly shouted that something was wrong.Originally, he was thinking of procrastinating, so he procrastinated, but he was so kind, he said it directly for His Majesty.

Master Cheng also felt the complaining eyes of the officials around him, and felt that his body weighed a thousand catties, which made him bend down a little bit, and his palms were slightly wet.

"I ask you," Jiang Huaiyang sat on a high place, looked down, and said in a deep voice, "This person has been corrupt for several years, and for such a long time, what have you been doing? Did I ask you to let you eat for nothing! It’s because the news has reached me, and I just saw you know about it.”

Moyang is located on the border of Wu State, facing Hudi, and is an important border town.The officials involved did not know how to do it, but they were able to hide it so closely from top to bottom, and before their people went to search, they transferred the money without anyone noticing it. They really had the ability.

If it weren't for the fact that the military staff sent more snacks, sent a letter to Jingzhong, and compared it with the allocation, I am afraid that it will not be discovered in another 80 or [-] years.

Master Cheng opened his mouth, and the words of defense lingered in his mouth, and finally he only said, "Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

It's not that he didn't think about the consequences of these words, and he didn't worry about his wife and children at home.Only in this way can His Majesty believe that he has not been able to cover up the past four years of concealment.

Jiang Huaiyang was a little surprised that he would take the initiative to plead guilty.In fact, he knew in his heart that Mo Yang was far away on the border, and even Cheng Changyin, as the censor, was beyond his reach.What's more, if a magistrate can do this, there is no guarantee that there will be no one behind him.

But Jiang Huaiyang wanted to bring up this matter, but it was actually selfish.

So he followed Master Cheng's words, "Since Aiqing is aware of her faults and has been fined for one year, if there is still dereliction of duty in the future, she will no longer be tolerated and demoted to exile. I hope Aiqing will take warning, Do it yourself."

For demotion and exile, a one-year salary is nothing more than a painless punishment.He knew that Cheng Yushi was still doing his duty when he was in office, and he never really thought about how to punish him severely.

He just wanted something to happen to the Cheng family, so that they could shift their attention away from the marriage of their two sons.He even knew that he was ashamed and cut off contact with Zhaorong.

Next, Master Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his breath was also full, "I obey the order."

The few courtiers who were watching the bustle sideways also looked back one after another.

After a while, the atmosphere in the court hall became a little more relaxed, and then those who had something to play went out of work, and those who had nothing to do kept their mouths listening. After everything was played, everyone returned to their duties.

The East Wing of Cheng Mansion.

Ruan Yuyi was embroidered with the pattern of red plums on the hem of her clothes, suddenly felt a little colder, so she stopped her hands and said to the wood spirit beside her, "Go and close the window."

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Everyone told you not to wear this dress, you must listen, the weather today is not as good as early autumn, it's strange that it's not cold."

Look at Ruan Yuyi again, she is wearing a floral blouse and a plain pleated skirt, the delicate flowers are delicately embroidered, at first glance, she seems to be alive.The hairpin is a silver butterfly swaying step by step, shaking slightly while walking, as if fluttering its wings and wanting to fly.

She went through a few more stitches, and replied, "I used to think it was too fancy, so I didn't move it once, so I put it under the box. Today, I was just thinking about which one to wear, and I happened to see this set, so I felt it." Put it on fresh."

I don't feel that much inside the house, but when I go out, I really feel that it is too cold, and I just need to add a cloak to the left and right.

This silk thread is bright in color, but it is a bit darker than the red silk thread on the banyan tree in Shenghe Temple.she couldn't help thinking.

She embroidered a few flowers and then rested for a while. When she was almost finished, it was already afternoon.Because Mu Xiang suffered from what happened yesterday, Ruan Yuyi wanted to let her rest and planned to take Mu Ling to the temple.

After filling Ruan Yuyi's lips, the two were about to go out.But before he could take a few steps, he saw Mu Xiang chasing after him.

There was a cloak on her forearm, she stepped forward to spread it out, and tied it for Ruan Yuyi, "Miss, why are you wearing such thin clothes today, if you catch cold again, it will be better." She glanced at the wood Ling, there was a bit of blame in this gaze.

When Mu Ling saw her coming with a shawl, he suddenly remembered that he forgot to bring an extra dress for the young lady. Now that Mu Xiang saw her, he felt guilty and touched the tip of his nose.

Ruan Yuyi calmly let her put on her clothes, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about her, I insisted on wearing it."

"Miss, you know how to protect this girl," Mu Xiang tied a neat and beautiful knot, then went around behind her, and fixed the back collar for her.

In fact, she was still not at ease asking Mu Ling to accompany the young lady. Mu Ling was always straightforward, if he bumped into the prince, wouldn't it be troublesome for the young lady.Thinking of this, she said, "Miss, why don't I go with you today as a servant."

"Didn't you agree with me yesterday and want to rest for a day?" Ruan Yuyi turned her head and looked at Mu Xiang carefully, seeing that her complexion was ruddy, but she didn't look like she was sick.

She was not determined at all, and couldn't resist Mu Xiang's nagging, so she took her there anyway.
