The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 385
Yun Lanyue intentionally asked Yan Beihui to say something at the banquet, Yan Beiqin didn't say anything more, but Princess Mingyuan was listening and seemed to understand something.

The royal banquet in the palace is also unambiguous at all. The emperor came to the south this time, and he brought half of the people in the imperial dining room. The food has the taste of the palace, and several dishes are also authentic. Wucheng cuisine is pleasing to the eye.

The emperor raised his glass and said: "Today the prince and princess finally arrived in Wucheng. This is a good thing. Come, everyone, drink this cup with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." All the ministers and concubines had different expressions after drinking the wine in their cups. King De is now living in the palace, and his seat has also changed. Arranged to the concubine side of the harem.

Although Yan Beiqin is also here, but in order to distinguish the difference between King De and the Crown Prince, the seats of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are arranged below the emperor's right hand side. Row, but slightly upward, only this one, clearly expresses the difference between the prince and the prince.

I heard that the emperor personally asked about the seat arrangement this time, which also clearly expresses who is more important in the emperor's heart.

In fact, last time in the case of Ningcheng, Yan Beiqin took the initiative to report to the emperor. Although Concubine Qiu said in front of the emperor that His Royal Highness did not have the decisive style that a prince should have, the emperor did not refute it face to face, as if acquiescing to Concubine Qiu's meaning, but said After all, the emperor likes such a prince.

Yan Beiqin has enough ability, and he can definitely stand on his own. What is commendable is that he knows that he can, but he still does not forget the rules of the monarch and ministers, and he does not think too much of himself and make his own decisions. The emperor likes this very much.

He would not blame the prince for losing his demeanor. Although Concubine Qiu Gui was right, what the emperor wanted was such a prince.

When he is still in power, he will decide at any time. When he is not in power, what he will do is his own business, and he only needs to know that the prince has this ability. Look , this time he said that after Ning Cheng's case was handed over to the crown prince, he did a very good job.

The emperor praised him a bit, and said: "You all know that this time the crown prince made a private visit for me along the way, and the prince did not disappoint me. During this private visit, Langzhou was exchanged for blood. According to the news just received, the prefect of Ningcheng, Langzhou Zhao Dahu allowed his son to burn, kill and plunder, not only did the father and son bear 120 six lives, but also a lot of gold, silver and jewels were found in the mansion, all of which came from unscrupulous sources, and now all of them have been filled into the national treasury."

All the ministers sighed after hearing this, even a small magistrate is like this, let alone a bigger official, what's more, Ningcheng is in the territory of Langzhou, so the prefect of Langzhou doesn't know about this matter at all, they But I have heard many versions.

The emperor continued: "The magistrate of Ningcheng is so rampant that he has nothing to do with the governor of Langzhou. The prince has already found out that the prefect of Ningcheng's successor is the younger sister of the governor of Langzhou. On the surface, the governor of Langzhou is a clean and just In fact, he used Zhao Dahu, the magistrate of Ningcheng, to accept the stolen money and work for him. Now it has been investigated clearly that the governor of Langzhou not only shielded the magistrate of Ningcheng, but also participated in many violations of law and discipline. The crown prince has full power to deal with it, crown prince, how are you going to solve this matter?"

Yan Beiqin stood up, and said loudly: "Since this matter has been investigated clearly, I think that if the governor of Langzhou cannot be properly punished, some people who are interested will think that the court deliberately favors the court officials, so they must be severely punished to comfort the people. heart of."

The emperor nodded again and again: "The prince is right."

"Father, so I think that this matter must not be tolerated. The magistrate of Ningcheng has already been dismissed by the minister, and now he has returned to the west, so there is no need to deal with it. However, the governor of Langzhou is also guilty of heinous crimes. I'm afraid it won't be enough to convince the public to investigate and prosecute."

"Well, that's right."

King De raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Weixiang, Minister of the Ministry of War diagonally opposite, Liu Weixiang understood, got up and said: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be considered."

"Oh? Does Liu Aiqing have other ideas?" The emperor frowned slightly, his face slightly dissatisfied.

Liu Weixiang lowered his head, did not see the emperor's face, and continued: "After all, the governor of Langzhou is an official appointed by the imperial court, and he was personally appointed by the Ministry of officials. The emperor also agreed. If I remember correctly, the governor of Langzhou is already here. He has been in power for more than five years, if he is dismissed at this time and the punishment is too severe, wouldn’t the emperor admit in disguise that he has appointed a corrupt official to manage Langzhou over the years? What will the people think at that time?”

The emperor thought about it carefully, and felt that what Liu Weixiang said was not unreasonable, so he hesitated.

Yan Beiqin said lightly: "Father, you are the king of the emperor. Although you are high above you, in the final analysis, you are working for the benefit of the people of the world. The reason why the people of Dayan trust us so much is because the father cares about the people. , not a person who cares about face, no one is perfect, and no one can do anything wrong, not to mention, the father has a lot of opportunities every day, and there are hundreds of officials in the court, even if there are hundreds of thousands of officials, how can the father test them one by one?",

The emperor nodded slightly, and the important ministers also discussed with each other, nodding to express their agreement with the crown prince.

Just as Liu Weixiang wanted to add something, Yan Beiqin continued: "Father, my son still has something to say."

"Prince, but it doesn't matter."

Yan Beiqin knelt down on one knee, with a solemn expression, and said, "If the emperor didn't punish the court officials who made a big mistake because of face, not only will the father feel uncomfortable, but if this matter spreads, it will be unfair. First, it’s a big deal to make the people feel disheartened, I don’t know what Liu Shangshu’s intention is, don’t you think of it?”

Hearing this, the emperor was furious, squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Weixiang, snorted and said: "Liu Shangshu, I really want to know what your intentions are!"

Where did Liu Weixiang think so much? King De gave him a look, and he just said that. In such a short period of time, he didn't think so comprehensively. He couldn't explain it all at once, and looked at King De subconsciously, but De Wang didn't look at him at all, he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking about.

Liu Weixiang hurriedly got out of his seat and knelt on the ground: "The emperor is aware that this minister is only expressing his own thoughts, and he is not as thoughtful as the prince. This matter is a slip of the tongue, please forgive me."

"Just a gaffe?"

"My humble servant has no second thoughts towards the emperor, Your Majesty!"

The emperor sneered in his heart, but he didn't want to tear himself apart with Liu Weixiang now, so he waved his hand to signal him to return to his seat, then looked at the prince and said: "Just do as the prince said, this matter must be severely punished, and the world must be told, my painstaking efforts , presumably the common people can understand a thing or two!"

"Your Majesty is wise."
