Cheng Si waved his hand.

"Madam, don't worry, the second wife's matter has nothing to do with us."

"Your Majesty is not a person who expresses anger. Ye Tingchao and Tang Su stayed out of the disaster because of their pure nature."

Cheng Si could see this clearly.

After serving as an official for ten years, it was unique for him to be the top scholar in high school before he was thirty in the Jing Dynasty.

Look at other people, whoever entered the official position through the imperial examination is not in his early thirties but in his forties or fifties.

And when he was less than forty, he was ranked second in the imperial court, and his official career was also smooth.

This shows how strong his personal abilities are.

At the same time, how observant he is.

We're chatting here.

The steward came in a hurry.

"Master, the second master is here."

Cheng Si chuckled and said, "Fight out and you'll be gone!"

The person in charge also heard the news in Beijing.

Hearing this, he turned around and left without saying a word.

Cheng Min was a sixth-rank minor official, but because his brother was the Minister of Household Affairs, no one in the court oppressed him.

He even took advantage of his brother's position to take bribes and enrich himself.

Now that His Majesty is furious and has ordered the imperial guards and secret guards to thoroughly investigate corruption and fraud, how can he not be panicked and anxious?

Who would have expected that when I want to ask my brother for help, he avoids me?
Cheng Min was so angry that he almost fainted. His anger was rising in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word.

If he didn't escape this disaster, he would still have to count on his brother for help.

I had no choice but to leave with a livid face.

About half an hour later.

There are people from the palace.

The visitor is His Majesty's personal chamberlain.

The former chamberlain was Eunuch Zhou, but he died escorting him during Nie Waner's rebellion.

Now this is Eunuch Liu, who is also the godson of Eunuch Zhou.

"Eunuch Liu."

Cheng Si bowed his hands and greeted each other.

Eunuch Liu turned his body sideways and said with a smile: "Master Cheng, you have defeated me. Your Majesty's decree."

Cheng Si hurriedly made preparations, but was stopped by Eunuch Liu.

After he read out the decree, he took the people and left.

When Mrs. Cheng heard the content of the imperial decree, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

"Husband, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the examiner of the imperial examination. Aren't you selected from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel?"

Cheng Si looked up at the blue sky and said, "What else can be done? Naturally, these two ministers cannot be saved."

Although he is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he is actually the youngest number one scholar, and his talent and learning are beyond doubt.

Presiding over an imperial examination is naturally a piece of cake.

**
Three days later, Feng He, as the commander of the secret guards, dispatched with his subordinates.

Together with the imperial army, he went in and out of various major mansions.

In the end, nearly 20 of the hundreds of officials in the imperial court were directly executed, and 40 of them were imprisoned due to lax self-examination.

All the assets in the government were confiscated.

Seeing the money on the account, Nie Fuyao tapped on the desk and said a number.

"Sent to the north, this is military pay."

Now among these six volumes, only the Book of Household Affairs must be completed smoothly.

This is still the most lucrative yamen among the six departments.

Of the other five ministers, two were beheaded, and the remaining three were dismissed from office and sentenced to up to 12 years and at least seven years in prison. At the same time, their descendants were also barred from serving as officials for three generations.

At this point, most of the official positions in the DPRK were suddenly vacant.

into the night.

Nie Fuyao was still handling government affairs in the imperial study.

Suddenly, a familiar breath appeared.

With a smile on her lips, she put down her ink pen, got up and walked to the door.

Eunuch Liu didn't understand what he meant and silently followed three steps behind him.

Then, a woman in black appeared in front of the imperial study room.

Eunuch Liu opened his mouth and wanted to call someone.

The next moment, the woman threw something and hit her on the dumb point.

Your Majesty, run quickly.

"Sister!" Nie Wushuang stepped forward, "I knew it was you."

Nie Fuyao took out a token from his waist, "You can enter and exit the palace freely. This time there is a batch of 500 million taels of military pay to be transported to the north. You will lead the team." Nie Wushuang took out the token and played with it, "Okay, hand over Give it to me, and you can rest assured, I guarantee that a lot of it will arrive."

Eunuch Liu put his heart down.

I think he is an acquaintance of His Majesty.

It's just one or two more, which is wrong.

That batch of military pay was official silver, and one ingot of silver was worth five taels.

Nie Wushuang followed the imperial study room and helped Eunuch Liu unlock the acupuncture points.

She clasped her hands behind her back and looked around.

Nie Fuyao ignored her and went back to review the memorial.

About half an hour later, Nie Wushuang felt bored and yawned.

Said: "Sister, I'm leaving first. I'll wait at the door of the house tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Nie Wushuang walked to the door and was stopped.

"Wushuang, after you go, you can stay at the border. The barbarians have been harassing our border all year round, so you can help."

"The Northern Commander, Guan Xinghe, is a famous general in our dynasty. You should learn from him how to lead troops in battle. Don't always be idle like this."

Nie Wushuang stretched his waist, thought for a while and said, "Okay, then let's learn."

Then he waved his hand casually, "Sister, I'm leaving, I'm so sleepy."

With a tap of the toes, the whole person disappeared into the night.

Eunuch Liu wiped his sweat secretly.

Who is this aunt? She dares to talk to His Majesty like this. Does she really not want the head?
"Liu Da!"

"Your Majesty, I'm here."

"Let's prepare dinner."

She's going to stay up late tonight.

Eunuch Liu took the order and went out to give instructions.

Nie Fuyao called out to Feng He.

Fenghe appears.

"Secretly investigate the Nie royal family to see if there are any suitable candidates."

Feng He's eyes flashed slightly, "Your Majesty, I forgive you for not obeying your orders. The late emperor would rather pass on the throne to you than choose a suitable candidate among the clan members. He does not want the imperial power to fall into the hands of others."

Nie Fuyao said: "Sooner or later, it is better to fall into the hands of the Nie family than to fall into the hands of others. Go ahead, father will understand."

Feng He looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally took the order and left.

The sky is bright.

Nie Wushuang came to the Hubu Yamen carelessly.

Seeing the stone pier next to it, I jumped up and sat down.

The guard on duty at the yamen gate saw this and was ready to rush forward to chase people away.

But they came face to face with a token.

After just one glance, I didn't dare to disturb him.

She covered her mouth and yawned, "Are the military pay not ready yet? I got up early?"

"Sir, the car is being loaded inside. It will be ready soon."

About a stick of incense later, large carts filled with military pay appeared one after another.

Nie Wushuang tapped his toes and flew onto a carriage.

"But Miss Nie?"

A middle-aged general came forward and asked.

Just from the light skill just now, he knew that this person was no ordinary person.

Nie Wushuang lazily hummed, "Lao Liang?"

Commander Liang choked, "Exactly."

"Then let's set off. I'll take a nap for a while. I stayed up a little late yesterday."

After saying that, he raised his hands to cover his face with his sleeves and began to take a nap.

Commander Liang was stunned for a while, then waved and said: "Let's go!"

This time I slept until noon, and the carriage had already left the city.

Rubbing his hungry belly, Nie Wushuang said: "Old Liang, do you have anything to eat?"

Commander Liang slowed down his horse and walked alongside her.

And handed over a cloth bag.

"It's past lunch time. There are steamed buns inside. Miss Nie, please just eat some."

Nie Wushuang took it, opened it, grabbed a bun, and took a big bite.

"Not so squeamish." (End of chapter)
