Chapter 139 Punishment
In the Golden Luan Hall, under the eyes of Emperor Dong Ling, all the ministers lowered their heads, cautiously, not daring to speak.

There were still two trembling ministers kneeling on the ground.

This kind of silence didn't take long, and before Emperor Dongling could suppress the anger in his heart, another censor stood up.

"Report to the emperor, and the ministers will participate in the performance." This is a typical example of adding fuel to the fire, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive.

Standing at the head of the ministers, Xiao Yu and Xiao Jue looked at each other, both of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Emperor Dongling sneered, "Tell me what's going on. I want to see who else dares to make a fuss at this juncture."

Emperor Dong Ling was so angry in the early court today because some unknowing officials below participated in a book from the Ministry of War in front of all the officials, saying that he was corrupt and dereliction of duty.

Several batches of refugees have flowed into Kyoto in recent days, all from the border.Later, there was a man who worked for the country and the people, neither from Prince Xiao Yu's side, nor from Xiao Jue's censor. When he saw this scene, he immediately felt angry and uncontrollable, so he ruthlessly joined the Minister of War One.

The content is that Minister of the Ministry of War knows that Xi Cang has raised his troops to the border of Dongling, but he still does not report the war to Emperor Dongling, which is dereliction of duty.And knowing that there was already a war at the border, the soldiers at the border did not resist. According to the refugees, it was because there was less demand for soldiers at the border. This is corruption.

The two crimes were put on the head of the Minister of the Ministry of War by the uninformed censor, and Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War immediately felt cold sweat on his forehead.

Not only Liu Shangshu, but also Emperor Dongling's heart was tightened by that memorial.

The battle he had suppressed so hard was still dug out.

Fortunately, no one has discovered the theft of the household department and military department.

However, Emperor Dongling still had to pretend not to know, as if he had been deceived by the Minister of War.With anger in his eyes, he looked at another censor who came to participate in the performance again, hoping that he would not give him another headache.

"My Majesty, I want to participate in Liu Shangshu today." The censor knelt on the ground under Emperor Dong Ling's sneer, and stood up the memorial in his hand. "I want to participate in Liu Shangshu's teaching of daughter-in-law."

Hearing what he said, both Emperor Dongling and Xiao Yu and Xiao Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Dongling showed a satisfied look towards Xiao Yu. The book that the censor participated in today's performance was well arranged.

Xiao Yu followed Emperor Dong Ling's eyes, his face paused, and he immediately bowed down respectfully, even though he still had doubts in his heart.Because this censor was not arranged by him at all.

The interaction between Emperor Dongling and Xiao Yu happened to be noticed by Xiao Jue.He straightened his back, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"Tell me." Emperor Dong Ling sat on the dragon chair, showing his majesty.

Under the words of Emperor Dong Ling, the censor continued, "Yesterday, on a certain street outside the palace, the daughter of Liu Shangshu beat and scolded a commoner woman in public. Such arrogant and domineering behavior is really shocking." pointing."

As he was talking, the censor suddenly became excited again, "Not only what happened yesterday, but I also heard that this Miss Liu was speaking to the princess and other nobles at the grandson's full-day banquet in Dongling a few days ago. She made a false statement. Later, she slipped and fell into the frozen lake, but she framed everything on Princess Yongle's head."

The censor knelt on the ground and said sternly, "I hope Liu Shangshu can teach his children well. Miss Liu is the person who will be the second concubine in the future. If she doesn't learn to behave well when she stays in her boudoir, she will become the second concubine in the future. I'm afraid that because of her gaffe, she will lose face to the Second Prince, and even our Dong Ling."

The imperial censor's voice was earnest, and Liu Shangshu's heart became tense when he heard it.His face turned pale, and before Emperor Dongling could speak, he immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Mr. Yushi is clearly slandering your minister, please be careful."

Liu Shangshu was on the verge of crying.He didn't hear Emperor Dong Ling's immediate anger, nor did he hear his anger, Liu Shangshu was extremely terrified in his heart.

He hastily cast his eyes on Xiao Jue for help.

As if feeling the scorching gaze on his back, although Xiao Jue still had a gentle smile on his face, the hands under the sleeves were gradually clenched.

"Father, in my son's opinion..." Xiao Jue still stood aside, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and it was Xiao Yu who spoke at this time.

However, before Xiao Yu finished speaking, Emperor Dongling interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

Emperor Dong Ling moved his eyes away from Xiao Jue and Liu Shangshu standing behind him, and landed on Taifu Han standing on the other side.

"Han Qing, as the interim prime minister, do you have any other views on the matter of Yushi's participation?" Emperor Dong Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a cool voice.

Han Taifu listened to Emperor Dong Ling's pointing out, and his thin body suddenly half-bowed.

His voice was genuinely gentle, and he only heard Taifu Han slowly say, "I think that the Minister of War may be too focused on the court of the country. I don't have any other opinions."

Taifu Han's words are just like that of Prime Minister Yan who was dismissed, they are all muddled.

Emperor Dongling pursed his lips in dissatisfaction when he heard Taifu Han's words.In his heart, Taifu Han has always been able to accurately point out the crux of the matter, but today, Taifu Han actually gave him a muddy life.

In fact, only Taifu Han knew exactly what happened today.

Taifu Han glanced sideways at the two censors who were kneeling on the ground, one was obviously left aside by Emperor Dongling and ignored it.The other one was valued by Emperor Dongling and wanted to draw all the courtiers to give their opinions.

Emperor Dongling's thinking, in fact, all the ministers can probably figure it out clearly.

Taifu Han didn't speak now, just because he didn't want to offend the prince or any faction of the second prince.

Because, no matter what he said, Emperor Dongling would eventually punish Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of War lightly.

Emperor Dongling didn't want people to hold on to the border issue.

"Han Qing is right. I also think that Liu Qing lacks time to discipline her daughter. In this case, I will punish Liu Qing to face the wall at home and think for ten days from today. I hope you can devote your time to your children's education. "

Emperor Dongling paused for a moment, then waved his hand to make the eunuchs beside him raise their voices, "Retire!"

The face of the censor who was left aside by Emperor Dongling changed, and before all the officials wanted to kneel down and send Emperor Dongling away, he shouted again, "Your Majesty, then..."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Dong Ling gave him a cold look, "I have sent General Hussars back to the border, and all the ministers are not worried. Retire!"

Emperor Dong Ling's cold voice immediately made all the ministers kneel on the ground, and sent Emperor Dong Ling to leave.

As soon as the sound of congratulations fell, Taifu Han was called by the servant next to Emperor Dongling, "Master Taifu, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study."

Taifu Han nodded in understanding, and under the eyes of Xiao Yu, Xiao Jue, and all the ministers, he walked out of the Golden Luan Hall first and walked to the imperial study.

The bright and yellow Imperial Study Room is different from the spacious and majestic Jinluan Hall. As soon as Taifu Han entered the door, he immediately knelt down to Emperor Dongling.

Emperor Dongling sat behind the table, condescendingly looking down at Taifu Han on the ground.

"In Han Qing's heart, are you dissatisfied with my hasty execution of Liu Shangshu in the Jinluan Hall?" Emperor Dongling didn't wait for Taifu Han to speak, and directly spread the words to Taifu Han.

Taifu Han's expression froze for a moment, "I don't dare."

Emperor Dongling sneered, "In front of me, you must not dare to say so. I just don't know what the other Qing family will have in mind."

This time Taifu Han didn't dare to continue talking.

Emperor Dongling looked at the somewhat thin Taifu Han with deep eyes, "Han Qing, can you guess who ordered today's censor to read a copy of Liu Qing's family?"

Taifu Han still didn't know what to ask, "My minister, I can't guess."

"Hmph." Emperor Dongling snorted coldly, "Even if you guessed it, you wouldn't dare to say it. I still don't know about you."

Emperor Dong Ling's heart was clear.

What Taifu Han guessed, Emperor Dong Ling could probably figure it out.

But Emperor Dongling thought that Taifu Han couldn't figure out who was behind the scenes in his heart.

Because Emperor Dong Ling guessed the person, Jimo Xia Zhi!

Not only was there a sneer in his heart, but Emperor Dong Ling also had a mocking expression on his face at this time.

"The hands of the Jimo family are stretched too far. Even though they are reclusive masters, what they have done today really makes me dissatisfied with them."

Earlier Jimo Xia Zhi wrote a letter to Emperor Dong Ling, the letter was full of threats, Emperor Dong Ling didn't need to care.But today Jimo Xia Zhi's arrangement in the court hall made Emperor Dong Ling extremely displeased.

She wanted Dong Ling to lose in his hands.

Emperor Dong Ling couldn't figure out why Jimo Xia Zhi wanted to attack Dong Ling.

Even if he fears the Jimo family, Emperor Dong Ling will not be a person who just sits and waits to die.

"Sir, panic." Taifu Han's body, which was already kneeling on the ground, slightly pressed down again.

Emperor Dongling looked at Taifu Han displeasedly, "They want to stretch their hands in the court hall." After a pause, Emperor Dongling continued, "But you don't know what is involved, and I won't blame it. But Today, Yu Shi's ignorant behavior is because Han Qing, as the interim prime minister, failed to restrain the behavior of all officials, so I want to punish you, can you accept it?"

"The emperor wants to punish the minister, and the minister will never raise any objections." Taifu Han replied respectfully.

Emperor Dong Ling pursed his lips tightly, "Not only do I have to punish you, but the second child also has negligence in disciplining his subordinates."

Emperor Dongling looked at Taifu Han with lowered eyebrows, and suddenly said coldly, "Han Qing, A Li has gone to the border now."

Mention of Han Poli's name, Taifu Han's heart tightened instantly.Taifu Han slightly raised his head to look at Emperor Dongling.

"I just want to tell you that Han Qing has to keep a secret." Seeing Emperor Dongling pursing his thin lips, "I plan to bring Jimo Xiazhi into the palace after the New Year's banquet."
