The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 212
"What does Huang Shangshu think is wrong?" Emperor Chu Huaitian asked.

Huang Jiadong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Shangguan Qing is the daughter of Shangguan Xianggong. According to the ancestral practice, the female relatives of the prime minister are not allowed to marry the prince. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Chu Huaitian said: "Shangguan's promotion is different from ordinary women."

"So what if the martial arts are super-grade, she is not a woman, but she wants to prevent Miss Shangguan from using martial arts to violate the ban, which is not good for His Majesty and Fourth Highness." Huang Jiadong saw Chu Qianhan's cold eyes, and his heart also cooled down. He was full of pride, He is not afraid of a mere prince.

"Shangguan Qing manipulated the craftsman department to compete with the people for profit, causing prices in the capital to skyrocket. Your majesty ordered the department to strictly investigate."

Chu Qianhan narrowed his eyes. Prices in the capital rose like this almost every year before and after the New Year. Huang Jiadong brought it up to explain the matter. He made it clear that he had framed him and wanted to put Shangguan Qing to death. He changed his mind: "Since Huang Shangshu said so , I must have the evidence, and please Huang Shangshu to show the evidence, please read it by Your Majesty."

Chu Qianhan looked at Huang Jiadong sincerely, but his eyes were completely cold.

Huang Jiadong said: "This is just a rumor, please order your majesty to investigate strictly."

Hubu Shangshu Wang Qiushan said: "Huang Shangshu doesn't seem to be a censor."

"I am loyal to the country." Huang Jiadong faced Chu Huaitian. According to his experience, as long as the current prime minister can be suppressed, someone will stand up and assist.

There are only a few chancellor positions, and whoever waits patiently for them to resign after their term of ten years expires can get rid of them as soon as possible, and the position can be vacated as soon as possible.When Liu Gang, the former prime minister, was around, the positions of his colleagues changed like a lantern.

But this time, after waiting for a long time, no one came out to respond, and he stood there alone sweating.

Chu Qianhan also took a step forward and said: "I also ask Father to order a strict investigation, and return Shangguan Qing to a clean slate."

"Sure." Chu Huaitian nodded in response.

Huang Jiadong fell into an ice cave, and the emperor's attitude was obviously biased. It was impossible for him to find actual evidence, and no one would cooperate even if he wanted to frame him.He turned his head and saw the gloating eyes of his colleagues, knowing that his official career was over.But he is not reconciled, because of a woman, is the emperor going to abandon a veteran like him?
"Your Majesty." Huang Jiadong fell to his knees on the ground.

Chu Huaitian waved his hand to let everyone leave first, seeing Chu Qianhan standing still, he said: "You will be back in a while, let's talk about it carefully."

"Yes, Royal Father." Chu Qianhan then withdrew.

After everyone in the imperial study had retreated, Chu Huaitian stood up from behind the imperial book case, picked up three memorials, walked to Huang Jiadong and handed them to Huang Jiadong, saying, "Look at this first."

"I obey the order." Huang Jiadong knelt and took the memorial to read.

The memorial is for the impeachment of Shangguan Qing, but the focus is not the content of the impeachment, but the defense written on it.The handwriting of the defense on each memorial is different, followed by Shangguan Qing's inscription, the judge's one, two and three comments, and the name of the girl who wrote the three defenses.

The three defenses were so brilliantly written that Huang Jiadong had to admit his talent.

Chu Huaitian said: "Shangguan Qing didn't take your impeachment seriously at all, and sent the memorial to the women's students to write their defenses, and then selected the best three of them to send to me. I know why she Don't you care?"

"It's His Majesty's trust." Huang Jiadong answered with difficulty.

"She doesn't care about my trust, she doesn't even care that I killed Shangguan's family." Chu Huaitian's words shocked Huang Jiadong, and Chu Huaitian continued: "Shangguan Qing's self-confidence comes from the court's lack of money. Knowing that you missed the rules, how much charcoal and ice are brought in from the local area every year, do you have no idea?"

At this time, Huang Jiadong was shaking like chaff.

Chu Huaitian continued to lower his voice and said: "Go back and tell the merchants in Jingnan that the craftsman has taken it back. If they are not satisfied, I still have 50 Imperial Forest Army. You can go to Jingnan to reason with them."

"The minister will die."

"I don't want you to die, go and bring a message, don't go back to the capital again."

"My minister is dead." Huang Jiadong slammed his head on the ground, his political career was completely over.

When the paralyzed Huang Jiadong was sent away, Chu Huaitian asked Shangguan Wenhe and Chu Qianhan to have an audience together, the important ministers who were invited out of the palace were scratching their heads and wanted to follow in to hear the scene.

Chu Huaitian gave Shangguan Wenhe a seat while Chu Qianhan stood aside.

Only then did Shangguan Wenhe carefully look at the third prince who was said to have turned white all night. Although Chu Qianhan's hair was snow white at this time, he lacked the coldness of the past. Such Shangguanwen and Xiangxiang's suave Chu Huaitian 20 years ago, and the prince Chu Qianyu ten years ago.

They are all dragons and phoenixes.

Shangguan Wenhe suddenly looked forward to it. If Chu Qianhan could become the crown prince, it would be fine for him to resign and return home with honor. Shangguan Qing could become the empress, which would definitely be the supreme honor of the Shangguan family.

"Tell me what's going on? Didn't you promise me to wait for three years?"

Chu Huaitian's words made Shangguan Wenhe a little puzzled. There was no need for Shangguan Wenhe to ask, Chu Qianhan took the initiative to tell the story, and then Shangguan Wenhe knew that Shangguan Qing's mother was the youngest daughter of Zhou Cang, the lord of Shenjitai. Qing is now the young master of the killer organization Shenjitai, and also the official concubine of the third prince recognized by Chu Huaitian.

Everything was agreed upon. Shangguan Qing stayed in the capital for three years to manage Luantai Division. Chu Huaitian allowed Shangguan Qing to go to Qiongya Junzhou to marry Chu Qianhan. Zhou Cang also nodded. Completely left out, no one ever asked what they meant.

Shangguan Wenhe felt so aggrieved that he was unable to intervene in his daughter's marriage.

"I can't wait, I'm going to marry Qing'er now." Chu Qianhan didn't say the reason, but only said his decision.

"It's okay if I agree. If you come back from Qiongya Junzhou obediently, I will give you a marriage right away." Chu Huaitian circled around, still wanting to pull Chu Qianhan back.

Chu Qianhan shook his head and said, "I won't move back to the capital, and I don't want to be a prince either."

"I never told you to be the crown prince."

"The eldest brother died, and the second brother saw through the world of mortals and disappeared. When I come back, I will be the highest ranked. Even if the emperor does not make me the crown prince, I will also be the first in line of succession. I will not be fooled." Chu Qianhan said clearly.

"Are you so disrespectful of my throne?" Chu Huaitian was furious.

"I am not here."

"Couldn't all the billions of people in the world and thousands of miles of land be able to hold you?" Chu Huaitian rolled up his sleeves, threw aside the emperor's dignity, and was about to beat someone up.

It was the first time for Shangguan Wenhe to see such an emperor, and his three views were trampled into a mess.

"Father, my way is not here."

"I'll just see where your way is." Chu Huaitian couldn't hold back his anger and punched Chu Qianhan in the face.
