Chapter 634
The days progressed day by day, except that the emperor was temporarily unable to go to court early, and the meeting place was changed to the inner bedroom of Chengming Palace.

The courtiers felt that everything was business as usual.

But it seems that something is different.

"Your Majesty." The guards outside the hall leaned over to salute when they saw the person coming.

She nodded slightly and asked, "How long has it been?"

The guard remembered Eunuch Yu's advice, and replied respectfully: "Half..."

"Thought it out, huh?"

Greeting the Queen with eyes that showed no anger, but hidden intimidation, the guard had no choice but to say honestly:
"One and a half hours..."

She gave a satisfied smile and gently pushed open the palace door.

The situation in the inner bedroom can be said to be windy and sunny, with dense knives under it.

A man in white unlined clothes, with a robe over his head, sat on the edge of the couch, with two stacks of booklets piled up on the small table beside him.

There are several ministers standing in front, which are also divided into two columns. After the report on the right side is over, if Emperor Jing Yuan doesn't say a word, he can go to the left side.

According to the words of Dali Temple, this is called a court trial, and it is also called settling accounts after autumn.

At this time, with sweat on his forehead, he anxiously thanked his lord for the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"You approved the case in Heshui County?"

He opened the folder in his hand and asked quietly.

"Qizou the emperor, the minister ordered people to investigate, and Heshui County really lacks a bridge connecting the north and south rivers, so..."

"What kind of bridge needs 2000 million taels of silver?" He raised his eyelids with a half-smile.

Xie Shilang was stunned, and immediately knelt down and said: "The emperor is sage, the minister never accepted bribes and filled his own pockets. The prefect reported the stone materials and labor costs. The minister has seen it. Because the place is located in a plain and does not produce rocks, it needs to be collected from Pusui, a hundred miles away. County transportation, plus the people..."

There was a lot of babbling, and he had a headache when he heard it, so he snapped out the booklet and shouted:

"Xie Xing! I see that you are tired of being a Beijing official! If you say that you need to transport it from a hundred miles away, you believe it. If you say that the stone is expensive, you also believe it! Have you checked it? Have you seen what kind of stone it is? It's 2000 million casually. The two were sent out to build a small arch bridge with a cost of less than 800 million taels, and my money came from the sky!"

Mr. Xie's complexion suddenly turned paler than that of the man who was short of energy and blood.

"Sir...Sir..."

At the beginning, the detailed description was written in detail, and the compliments were eloquent, so I approved it when I was too lazy to check it.

Thinking about 2000 million taels, if you say it's a lot less, if you say it's too much, it's not too much.

"If it wasn't for Nian Zaiwei, the person who went to your house in the morning would be someone from Dali Temple! Cough cough..."

Eunuch Yu hurriedly handed over the ginseng tea, he took it and took a sip, still annoyed:

"Pick up the booklet, get out!"

Xie Xing shivered and stood back to the right.

The two officials on the left who escaped unharmed were gloating.

Fortunately, the remedy was timely. The Holy Majesty has been bedridden for a long time, impatient, and has a bad temper. He is much more vicious than before.

According to their reprimanded colleagues, there is only one chance to save them in dire straits, and that is...

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest."

Qing Lingling's voice sounded.

Qi Qi turned his head to look, and there was a beautiful woman standing leaning against the stone screen, with a smile on her lips, an irresistible charm.

Sure enough, the man who was angry one moment, was tender the next moment.

"Okay." He bent his eyes, and his tone was so light that he looked like a different person, as weak as a willow in the wind.

Then he waved his hands casually to the ministers: "You will submit the solution before tomorrow at Sishi, otherwise... go to Dali Temple to report by yourself."
