The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 10 Dealing with Corrupt Officials

Outside the palace, Zhao Mansion

Zhao Jingwu looked at the distinguished guests in front of him respectfully, then knelt on his knees and received the bright yellow imperial edict, "I obey the edict."

The prince helped him up and said, "Please call Zhao Hujun quickly. This matter is very important. Please also ask Zhao Hujun to bring more elite soldiers and generals."

Zhao Jingwu looked puzzled, wasn't he just going to suppress bandits? How many people are needed for a ragtag group of people?
The prince said nothing more and just handed him the secret decree.

Zhao Jingwu suddenly realized, "Wei Chen understands."

Late at night, the Qionghua Palace was brightly lit, and Concubine Shu's eyes, red and swollen from crying, were staring at the little baby on the bed.

He was afraid of missing the moment when Yaoyao woke up, and even more afraid that she... would never wake up again.

in consciousness space

Chu Yaoyao was so anxious that she asked, "What's wrong with you, system? Why did you suddenly drag me in?"

The mother-in-law must be worried.

System: Isn’t it because of the host that you revealed the plot?

System: The host's soul is not from this world. To the world's consciousness, you are abnormal data, and it will pay more attention to you. Once there is a violation of the rules of the world, it will be rejected at the least, and wiped out at the worst!

It took a lot of effort to escape the strict defense of the world consciousness and distribute the novice rewards to those people.

"Then what counterattack mission do you want me to do?"

Co-authoring this is still a high-risk profession?
Chu Yaoyao squatted on the ground, held her chin in her hands, and let out a long sigh, "Oh."

System: Host, don't be discouraged. As long as the counterattack progress reaches half, we will be recognized by the world's consciousness, and there is no need to be cautious anymore.

Looking at the almost non-existent progress bar, Chu Yaoyao chuckled and said, "Thank you." She was not comforted.

"How long do I have to stay here?"

System: Need to stay in the dark room for twelve hours.

Hearing this, Yaoyao lay down directly and stayed in this miserable place for half a day?
Destroy it.

The palace was quiet late at night, but many people stayed up all night.

……

Hall of Supreme Harmony

The morning court had begun, and as soon as Emperor Qixuan was seated, Xiao Wentao, Minister of War, stood up.

"Your Majesty, for such a big event this morning, Zhao Jingwu has been so late in coming. He simply doesn't take your Majesty seriously. He has really failed the emperor's favor. Please punish him severely."

The prince silently took half a step back and came.

"boom!"

Emperor Qi Xuan slapped the table heavily, "Xiao Shangshu is quite well informed. Why did no one report the serious banditry in Xuzhou and the burning of many fertile fields?"

The ministers looked at each other. They really didn't know, but they didn't dare to tell.

So they all knelt down and apologized, "I am incompetent, please forgive me."

"I have sent Zhao Jingwu to suppress the bandits. Can Xiao Shangshu object?"

Cold sweat broke out on Xiao Wentao's forehead, "I don't dare."

"If you have nothing to do, please step aside."

Censor Zhou stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report."

Emperor Qi Xuan turned his fingers and finally came, "It's accurate."

"The veteran wants to impeach Li Yan, the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, for embezzling food, grass and military pay."

When the prince heard this, he immediately became energetic. It turned out that his father wanted to use the help of Zhou Yushi to expose Li Yan's corruption.

Emperor Qi Xuan raised his eyes and looked over, pretending to be confused, "Is this happening?"

"Where is Li Yan?"

Li Yan walked out of the team tremblingly.

He originally wanted to borrow Xiao Shangshu's hand to give Zhao Jingwu eye drops in front of the emperor. Yes, Zhao Jingwu was delayed in coming, and it was he who reminded Xiao Shangshu.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Jingwu was fine, but he was impeached.

"Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused." As he said this, he shook out his old official uniform, raised his hand to wipe his tears, and revealed his middle coat with sleeves full of patches.

A trace of impatience flashed in Emperor Qi Xuan's eyes, and he was pretending to be so noisy. If he hadn't seen the account book with his own eyes, he would have been deceived by this man. Xiao Wentao also stood up to speak for him, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li is an upright man. He is very simple on weekdays. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a house with only four walls."

"It's not easy for Zhou Yushi to speak nonsense without evidence. Speaking of which, Wei Chen heard that Zhou Yushi's grandson had a quarrel with Mr. Li on the street a few days ago. I'm afraid..."

After hearing this, Zhou Yushi took out the memorial and the account book, "Here is the evidence. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Qixuan took the two things presented by Su Maowen. Although he had already read the account book once, the numbers on it would be shocking every time he looked at it.

"Boom!" He smashed the memorial directly onto Li Yan's head.

"How brave! Come here! Capture Li Yan and keep him under strict supervision! The case will be jointly tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. When the corrupt money is found, he will be beheaded in public! If his accomplices are found, they will be executed!"

Xiao Wentao returned to his seat in despair when Zhou Yushi took out the account books.

However, Zhou Yushi did not intend to let him go.

Zhou Yushi knelt on the ground with a plop, looking sad, "Your Majesty, I have served two generations of monarchs and served in the Yushitai for decades. I have sworn long ago that even if I am broken into pieces, I will never betray the trust of the late emperor and your majesty. I will never betray the trust of the late emperor and your majesty." He used his power for personal gain and misused his power, and now Xiao Wentao actually slandered me and used his official weapon for personal use, without distinguishing between public and private affairs!"

As he said that, Zhou Yushi hugged the pillars in the main hall, "I have been honest and honest throughout my life, and I will never be slandered by such slander. I am willing to die to clarify my will, and today I will stain the Tai'an Palace with blood! My late emperor, veteran I’m here to accompany you!”

After that, he was about to hit the pillar.

The incident happened suddenly and the ministers were frightened.

"Censor Zhou!"

"No!"

"Xiao Shangshu has gone too far."

"That's right, it's time to apologize to Mr. Zhou."

……

He looked at Zhou Chengyuan, who was leaning his head on the pillar, and Xiao Wentao, whose face was livid as thousands of people pointed at him.

Emperor Qixuan felt inexplicably relieved.

This Zhou Yushi was indeed loyal and patriotic, but too rigid.

Matters that are as trivial as sesame seeds and mung beans in the palace on weekdays have to be brought to the court. As an emperor, he has to take care of who he favors and how many women he has.

Threatened with a skittle at every turn.

There is nothing that can be done against him. He has the Shangfang sword given by the late emperor, but he cannot be beaten or scolded.

Now I am finally not the one who is forced to come to Taiwan.

Emperor Qixuan's mood was like drinking a pot of herbal tea that was refreshing in the dog days of summer.

cool!

"cough!"

We've seen the show, it's time for him to appear.

"Come here, help Mr. Zhou up quickly. Zhou Yushi's loyalty to the emperor can be seen in the sun and the moon. Of course I know it, but it is Xiao Shangshu."

Emperor Qi Xuan glanced at Xiao Wentao and said, "I defend the treacherous official regardless of right and wrong. Because you may not know it, I will make you plead guilty to Zhou Yushi in public, and I will fine you half a year's salary!"

Is Xiao Wentao interceding for Li Yan out of friendship as a colleague or...could it be that these two people have some conflicting interests?
Still have to check him out.

Then, Emperor Qi Xuan looked at the man clinging to the pillar, "What do you think, Censor Zhou?"

Xiao Wentao faced the courtier's gaze, walked over, bowed, and gritted his teeth and said: "I mistakenly trusted this villain, and was deceived by him to the point of not being able to distinguish between right and wrong. Please forgive me, Lord Zhou."

Zhou Yushi looked at him and snorted softly. Do you think it's all over if you just take it off?
There's no point in apologizing. You're actually speaking for a corrupt official. There's definitely something wrong with you. I'll definitely keep an eye on you from now on!
With his goal accomplished, Emperor Qi Xuan no longer wanted to watch the intrigues among his courtiers, and gave Su Maowen a look.

Su Maowen understood and said loudly: "Retreat from the court——"

Emperor Qi Xuan stood up and walked down the steps quickly. Come on, hurry up, I want to see Yaoyao.

After the dynasty dispersed, Zhou Yushi was surrounded by several ministers and walked out.

"Master Zhou is still very powerful. We were all deceived by Li Yan. Master Zhou knows everything and is a role model for us."

Zhou Yushi stroked his gray beard and said, "Everywhere, I am loyal to His Majesty."

An official asked curiously: "I wonder how Mr. Zhou saw through Li Yan's disguise and found the evidence?"

He didn't know what Zhou Yushi did.

If I said that things were put on my desk as soon as I woke up, would you believe me?
On the other side, Emperor Qixuan and the prince heard the cheers of the palace people as soon as they reached the entrance of Qionghua Palace.

The little princess wakes up!
