Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 76 Ancient times ([-]) Whose disaster

Within the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, such a big thing happened on the night of Shangyuan that should have been celebrated by everyone!

In the morning, the court.

"I wonder how you all slept last night?" The emperor sat above and said in a low voice.

None of the officials below dared to answer, the atmosphere was silent for a while, and there was a sense of oppression that was about to come.

"Xizhao Tower, Shangyuanye... actually made such a fuss for me?!"

The emperor was furious, and all the officials dared not speak out.

"Father," Yan Jin stood up first at this moment, and said calmly: "The disaster of Shangyuanye is ultimately a man-made disaster. We should investigate and deal with it according to the rules. Finding the relevant personnel and punishing them is what we should do now."

In fact, the Ministry of Criminal Justice arrested and tortured relevant personnel last night. A supervisor has already pleaded guilty, and a giant log that was supposed to be used for the main load-bearing beam was also found in his home. read.

The overseer committed a heinous crime, and he was about to be killed by Qiu Hou, but how could this result convince the public?
The emperor looked at the unhurried Yan Jin, and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any ideas?"

Now that the emperor is in a fit of anger, if you answer well, you will surely win the praise of the Holy Majesty, but if you answer badly...

Yanjin was very calm and said respectfully: "No matter what, this Xizhao Building is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. If the Minister of Works fails to supervise it, it will be a big disaster. I should kill myself as a warning to others."

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is Cao Yushi. He was also taken by the Ministry of Punishment last night, and he is not in the court hall now.

The third prince Yan Ze frowned slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of deliberation he stood up and said, "Father, although the matter of the Xizhao Tower belongs to the Ministry of Industry, it is impossible for Mr. Cao to keep an eye on it all the time. Now, it’s not enough to kill, and..." Yan Ze glanced at Yanjin, and continued: "If I remember correctly, the construction of the Xizhao Building was completed by the Ministry of Industry and the wealthy businessman Xue Jiagui. I'm afraid Xue Jiagui should also investigate the matter."

Yan Ze's news is also well-informed. He knows that his seventh brother has ambitions and has been in contact with Xue Jiagui recently. Although he doesn't know the specific situation, it's good to beat him.

But Yanjin didn't panic when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said calmly: "Brother Huang, I forgot that although it is cooperation, the Ministry of Industry is mainly responsible for it. As soon as something happened in the building, he called the servants who were in charge at the time to come and punish each of them with a hundred sticks, this 'accountability' should probably be enough."

If you use a staff of one hundred, you will beat people to death directly, and you will basically die!

Yanze's face became uneasy, and Yanjin continued to tell the emperor: "The lack of supervision by the Minister of Industry is a serious crime. Besides, there were problems as soon as the Xizhao Building was built. Who knows if he has evil intentions? If it happens again and again. If this kind of problem arises in the third year, the country will never have peace, so please ask my father to make a decision."

The emperor's face was gloomy all the time, and his eyes became colder after hearing the phrase "hiding evil intentions", and he immediately issued an order, "Cao Yushi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has not supervised well and disturbed the imperial city. Now he is in prison and will be executed in autumn!"

Yan Ze subconsciously wanted to go forward to persuade, but immediately stopped, the emperor was in a fit of anger, and trying to persuade would also cause trouble.

Yan Ze turned his head to look at Yan Jin, frowning, his seventh younger brother was unusually calm, as if everything was under his control...

Cao Yushi, who was already in prison at this time, wanted to ask the emperor to defend himself, but his request was intercepted before it even reached the palace.

As soon as the court came down early, Yan Nanxu also heard the news that the emperor wanted to kill Cao Yushi.

"System, is there anything special about Cao Yushi in the original plot?"

"That's not much," the system flipped through the information, "Cao Yushi is a person who is purely loyal to the emperor. He didn't like Yanjin at the beginning, and later despised his way of usurping the throne. For a long time, he lurked to cause trouble for Yanjin. , but his personal ability is still very strong, Yanjin wants to recruit him, but he is unwilling until death, he is a very foolish and loyal person."

He sounds like a very stubborn and rigid person.

Yan Nanxu tapped the table with her fingers, and finally stood up, preparing to enter the palace to meet the saint.

"Hey? Host, what are you going to do?"

"Go save Cao Yushi."

"What are you doing to save him? He doesn't contribute much to the main plot, does he?"

"Those who are aware of current affairs may be heroes, but there is something valuable about those whose hearts are like stone and cannot be changed. Cao Yushi has been honest and pragmatic throughout his life, and he will not be guilty of this."

What's more, the matter of Xizhao Building this time may have something to do with Yanjin instead.

The emperor is in a bad mood today, and almost no one dares to touch bad luck, but Yan Nanxu is different, he stopped the loss in time, evacuated the crowd so that all the people could escape safely, and he should be rewarded.

When the emperor knew that Nanxu was coming, he calmed down and announced his audience.

Just as Yan Nanxu was about to salute, the emperor immediately stopped him and said, "Excuse me, just sit down. This is not in the court hall. Speaking of your meritorious service in saving people, I should be here to reward you."

"The sage's words are serious. It is the duty to help the people. How can we reward them?"

Looking at the nephew in front of him, and thinking of his younger brother who had a good relationship with him since he was a child, the emperor felt a little relieved, and said slowly: "You are just like your father, you are here to solve my worries and problems, I am really happy. By the way, What are you doing here today?"

Seeing that the emperor's expression had returned to normal, Yan Nanxu saluted again and said, "I'm here this time for the sake of Mr. Cao."

Hearing the name, the emperor frowned slightly, but did not interrupt.

Yan Nanxu continued: "The construction of Xizhao Building took about five months, and it was indeed mainly in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but Mr. Cao had two months in the middle because of the flood in the northwest and needed to be rebuilt, so he left Beijing to investigate the terrain on the spot. He didn't manage to personally supervise it for a month, and the construction was basically completed when he came back. Later, because the Ministry of Rites wanted to catch up with the Shangyuan Festival, there was no step of inspection and acceptance at that time. From this point of view, the accountability of this Xizhao Building is quite complicated. Your Excellency is indeed guilty, but after all, there were no casualties, and the principal culprit has already been killed, so he can be dismissed, but if this is not the case, please ask the Holy Majesty to investigate clearly and take it back."

The emperor's anger had mostly dissipated just now. Now that Yan Nanxu had explained it, he felt that the sentence was a bit harsh and seemed to be a sign of anger.

"Now that you have opened your mouth, in recognition of your many years of service to Cao Yushi, take it back."

"Thank you, Lord."

"Host, you are so amazing. You can change the emperor's mind so easily." On the way out of the palace, the system relaxed and chatted.

"Actually, if you think about this matter carefully, you can know that Cao Yushi's crime is not so serious. I'm afraid the emperor will regret it in a few days after his death. It's just that there is an opportunity now." And Yan Nanxu came to take this "opportunity".

"Well," the system expressed understanding, "yes, it is true that this matter is big or small. After all, there are no casualties, but there is a little loss of financial resources. In the past two years, the national treasury has been full, so I am not afraid."

This is also thanks to Yan Nanxu. Without him, so many people and dignitaries from various families would have accidents, and the nine clans of Cao Yushi would not be able to kill them.

However, the words of the system did mention Yan Nanxu a little bit. According to this line of thinking, could it be that someone wanted to deal with Cao Yushi and thus created this disaster?
On the way Yan Nanxu left the palace, he happened to meet Yan Jin who had entered the palace on business. The two greeted each other briefly and left.

Before walking away, Yan Nanxu glanced back thoughtfully, and happened to see Yan Jin glance at her sideways, with cold and gloomy eyes, even a hint of hatred.
