Rebirth of Wufu Jin

Chapter 103

As soon as Zhou Gege returned to the West Wing, she made a quick decision for the sake of the child in her womb.

Even if she offends Fujin, she still has to tell Lord Belle about it, and she can't go to Fujin to greet him every now and then.

After Yun'er helped her to the bed, Zhou Gege just thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said to Yun'er: "Yun'er, go to the front yard and find Lord Belle quickly, and tell me that I have something to do." to discuss."

Zhou Gege's faint voice reached Yun'er's ears, Yun'er frowned slightly, but still nodded, and walked towards the study in the front yard.

After Yun'er walked away, Zhou Gege couldn't help calling out to the other maids in the room in a low voice, and the maids backed out, and the room fell into silence for a moment.

Outside the study in the front yard of the Baylor Mansion, Yun'er spoke to Butler Yan, speaking as calmly as possible, explaining to Butler Yan what happened in Dongnuange today.

After hearing this, Steward Yan frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Yun'er's somewhat frightened face, then he nodded, and replied to Yun'er: "Okay, I will tell Lord Baylor about this when he comes back. , you go back first."

Yun'er hurriedly responded, and slowly said: "Then I will trouble Housekeeper Yan."

Butler Yan nodded slightly after hearing this, and ignored her.

At this time, in the Palace of Qianqing in the palace, the emperor sat high on the dragon chair, glanced majestically at the officials and princes standing below, and as usual, planned to leave the court after saying the last sentence.

"My dear friends, there is still something to play. If there is an early play, I will leave the court if there is nothing to do." The emperor looked at the people below seriously, and then asked.

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, two ministers came out, one was Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry, and the other was Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Households.

The two looked at each other, their eyes seemed to imply that the other party had to let themselves write the memorial to the emperor first, but none of them gave way, and both of them were eager to present the memorial they wrote to the emperor first.

Eunuch Li stood on the left side of the emperor's throne, looked at the two officials who were cross-eyed, and hurried down to collect the two officials' notebooks and handed them to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Master Zhang's book, and immediately opened his eyes very wide. He glanced in surprise at Master Zhang who was bending over and the prince next to him. The prince shook his body a little uneasily after being looked at by the emperor.

All the ministers below looked at the emperor's face seemed to be a little angry, frowning tightly, and dared not say much below.

The emperor didn't get angry after reading Master Zhang's notebook. Firstly, he had some doubts about the authenticity of the content of Mr. Zhang's notebook, and if he questioned the prince in front of all the ministers, it would be detrimental to the prince's prestige, so the emperor softened his expression a little. .

However, when he opened Master Chen's brochure, he looked at the contents of the brochure, and found that it was very similar to Master Zhang's content.

The emperor angrily threw two folded papers on the main hall of Qianqing Palace. All the officials were stunned, seeing that the emperor was angry, and knelt down one after another. The crown prince glanced nervously at the emperor, and then knelt down carefully.

Lord Zhang and Lord Chen who were on the show also knelt on the ground tremblingly, waiting for the emperor's inquiry. Both of them had been to the Yueminglou tea garden. The roster, let them report the corruption of these people.

Both of them have been officials in the court for many years, but because they are Hanchens, their official positions have not been promoted very much. The appearance of the fortune-telling fairy made them feel ready to be promoted, so they boldly made the offer. The son was a little angry.

"Is it true what you two participated in?" The emperor asked the two of them almost sharply.

Mr. Chen from the household department was sweating all over his head, he was a little timid for a while, and he hesitated when he spoke, but it was Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry who was on the side who was bold, and replied neither humble nor overbearing.

"Report to the emperor, all the words played by the minister are true and can be verified."

The atmosphere in the main hall of Qianqing Palace suddenly became a little dull. The emperor looked at him with some surprise. This matter was no small matter, involving more than a dozen officials, almost all of whom were under the crown prince and Suo'etu.

The emperor gave that Lord Zhang a cold look, raised his eyebrows slightly, and coldly threw out the word "Sanchao".

As soon as he got up from the throne, the emperor glanced lightly at the officials who hadn't left yet, "Mingzhu and the two officials who are presenting will follow me to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

When the crown prince heard the emperor say that the court was over, his hanging heart relaxed, and he walked towards Yuqing Palace very quickly.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Nalan Mingzhu stood respectfully in front of the emperor, and the two officials stood behind him. Eunuch Li had already picked up the two memorials that the emperor threw on the hall.

Mr. Chen from the household department lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of the emperor, while Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry seemed much calmer. He usually had few days to be summoned by the emperor alone, and he only wanted to seize the opportunity in his heart.

After the emperor sat down, he handed one of the papers to Nalan Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, take a look at this paper."

Nalan Mingzhu raised her head slowly, took the paperwork from the emperor with both hands respectfully, looked at the contents of the booklet seriously, then felt shocked, but thought to herself: finally found a chance.

The emperor took advantage of Nalan Mingzhu's time reading the paperwork, and gave the two officials a look with piercing eyes, among them the one from the Ministry of Industry was neither humble nor overbearing.

After a while, the emperor saw that Nalan Mingzhu finished reading the memorial, his complexion changed, and he asked, "Mingzhu, what do you think of the content of this memorial?"

Nalan Mingzhu pretended to be stunned, and there was already a lot of joy in his heart. He has been fighting openly and secretly with Suo'etu for so many years, and no one has taken advantage of the other. Someone impeached Suo'etu and officials under the prince for accepting bribes.

He had long wanted to get rid of Suo'etu's big worry, and of course he would not let the emperor ask for his thoughts, and immediately said seriously: "I want to report to the emperor, this servant feels that although these officials are old disciples of the crown prince and Prime Minister Suo, If corruption prevails, it will definitely affect the imperial court. This servant is bold enough to strictly investigate such corrupt officials in order to rectify the officialdom."

His words were very soft, but the emperor frowned, showing a worried look on his face. His government has always been lenient. Among those corrupt officials, there are many ministers who have the power of the court. If they strictly investigate, the court will not know. How many corrupt officials will be found out, and the stakes among them are what worries the emperor the most.

Mr. Zhang, the official of the Ministry of Industry behind Nalan Mingzhu, seemed to have seen the worry of the emperor, and he spoke before the emperor asked him to speak.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say frankly that if there is a strict investigation, it will definitely affect the court. I suggest that those corrupt officials should be punished temporarily. If they can return the money they have embezzled, they will not be held accountable."

Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Households next to him heard some of his words, and the pores of his body stood up. He seemed to have a feeling that what Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Industry was talking about was also about official corruption? !It seems to be somewhat similar to the note he gave to the emperor.

When the emperor and Nalan Mingzhu heard what Master Zhang said, they all looked at him.

But the emperor didn't reply to his words, but ordered Mingzhu to investigate the matter strictly, and then let him and the householder Mr. Chen quit the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

On the way out of the palace gate, both of them were a little disappointed. The emperor called them to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but he didn't ask them anything. Mr. Chen from the household department was a little bit late and couldn't help asking Mr. Zhang, " Mr. Zhang, what you reported to the emperor was the corruption of the Crown Prince and Suo Xiang’s subordinate officials?"

After Master Zhang heard this, he looked at him in astonishment, was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Could it be you too?"

The eyes of the two looked at each other for a while, and then there was a flash of astonishment.
