Deep Palace Conspiracy: My son will sit on the dragon throne and I will be the queen mother

He put his left hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, raised his right hand slightly, and commanded in a deep voice, "All my dear friends, please make yourself at home."

"Thank you for your grace." The officials stood up in fear and lined up on both sides, lowering their heads for fear of bumping into the Holy Driver.

"If there is no problem, I will withdraw from the court." Li Fuhai shook the fly whisk in his hand and shouted to the civil and military officials as usual.

Mr. Liu came out from the team holding the memorial and knelt in the center of the hall. "I have this memorial to you."

All the officials were curious. Mr. Liu was a public official, and usually memorials were used to impeach officials.

Moreover, as colleagues, they also know how eloquent Mr. Liu is. If he really talks about it, even His Majesty may not be able to stop him. It seems that today's morning court is still too early for the next court.

Emperor Yinde naturally knew Master Liu's temperament, and he really wanted to see what Master Liu was going to say today, "Liu Aiqing, please speak."

The young eunuch took the memorial and handed it to Li Fuhai. Before Li Fuhai handed it to Emperor Yinde, Lord Liu began to report, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lord Bai and Bai Sheng!"

His voice was so loud, and he glared at Bai Sheng.

Bai Sheng was the former Minister of Rites. Because of his daughter Bai Ruoqing's incident, he was demoted by His Majesty. He is now in the fourth rank.

Although the Bai family has lost power in the court, there are not many people who compliment Bai Sheng.

But who doesn’t know about the relationship between Bai Sheng and Qiao Shangshu, the Minister of Rites? That's really iron.

Bai Sheng is still serving in the Ministry of Rites, so he must still be with Qiao Shangshu.

Mr. Liu granted me a place to live today because the drunkard didn't care about drinking.

Emperor Yinde took the memorial and without reading it, he threw it on the imperial case casually, "Then please tell me, my dear, why you impeached Bai Sheng."

He picked up the tea cup that Li Fuhai had just served, took a few sips, and listened carefully to the report of the courtier below.

"Your Majesty, last winter, there was a snowstorm in the north. Mr. Bai Shengbai took the initiative to go to the north to provide relief. He spent half a month sharing your worries and helping your Majesty calm down the matter. It was originally a good thing, but according to reports According to my investigation, the money spent on disaster relief is far less than the money spent by the imperial court. I would like to ask Mr. Bai, where did all the money go? Was it eaten by you or drank by you?"

Bai Sheng stepped forward after hearing the words, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Your Majesty, I am wronged. It is Mr. Liu who is spitting blood on me."

"I am a public speaking officer. I never dare to say a word in front of His Majesty about things I am not completely sure of. Mr. Bai, do you dare to swear on the lives of your whole family in front of His Majesty that you are completely innocent?" Liu The Lord looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and said to Lord Bai in a vehement manner.

Bai Sheng said quickly, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Mr. Liu's nonsense."

"Are you afraid to swear? Or have you forgotten the things you did? This is the Jinluan Palace. Do you dare to lie in front of the Emperor?"

Master Liu roared angrily again, which made Bai Sheng speechless. He didn't dare to say anything and just knelt aside.

Master Liu once again bowed deeply to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Master Bai embezzled a total of 30,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of which he kept for himself, and another 10,000 taels, which he sent to In Qiao Shangshu’s house.”

"Nonsense!" Bai Sheng gave Qiao Shangshu only eight thousand taels, so he naturally refused to do it at this time.

"Which sentence did I say wrong?" Master Liu looked at Bai Sheng and sneered, "Then tell me, how did you divide the 30,000 taels of silver that you embezzled?"

"Or are there more that I haven't found yet?"

Bai Sheng immediately shook his head. If there was anything more, even these 30,000 taels of silver could directly kill him.

Master Liu said, and respectfully presented the pamphlet he had sorted out about what Bai Sheng had done with the money.

Regardless of whether it was a memorial or a pamphlet, Emperor Yinde did not open it and read it. He was angry after reading it.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Emperor Yin De smashed the tea cup down, hitting Bai Sheng's black gauze hat.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" All civil and military officials knelt down, and there was another short silence in the Jinluan Hall.

"How many times have I said that I can't see corruption in my eyes. If there is one, I will kill every one. What do you take for my imperial edict?" Emperor Yinde slapped the imperial case in front of him with a loud bang, showing his anger. The meaning is strong.

Bai Sheng also knew at this time that he had fallen into Master Liu's hands today.

"Your Majesty, I embezzled the money, but I definitely did not give the money to other colleagues. I plead guilty and please your Majesty not to involve innocent people!" Bai Sheng knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.

"Whether you sent it or not is not something you can just say. I need to investigate this matter further. Since you have confessed, I will deal with you first, Li Fuhai." Emperor Yinde ordered in a deep voice. , "Pull the criminal Bai Sheng down and behead him in public three days later. I want to see who else dares to be greedy under my nose!"

After saying that, Emperor Yinde stood up directly and walked away, showing how angry he was.

This incident naturally caused quite a stir in the previous dynasty. Since the Zhou clan was eliminated, Emperor Yinde has said more than once that he can no longer tolerate corruption and bribery in his eyes. If anyone did it, it was someone who did not care about the relationship between the king and his subjects. Unexpectedly, there was someone who hit the gun by himself.

The matter quickly spread throughout the harem. Although Emperor Yinde did not directly accuse Qiao Shangshu of this matter, it was just a lack of evidence and did not really let him go.

If Qiao Shangshu was really not involved, how could Emperor Yin De not summon Qiao Beauty, who was now favored by the Holy Spirit, for half a month in a row, and why didn't he take a look at Qiao Chongrong, who was pregnant?

Su Qingyao was very satisfied with Master Liu's performance. Although she said she didn't want any interests to be involved in the relationship between Ji Xingwang and his beloved woman, her idea was simply unrealistic now.

Ji Xingwang was an official in the court and was involved with both her and Concubine Hui. Ji Xingwang's wife's family should help her.

Seeing Master Liu's dedication, Su Qingyao only hoped that Ji Xingwang would not let down this good girl Liu Xianxian.

This matter passed quickly, although Emperor Yin De himself knew that this was Master Liu selling favors to Ji Xingwang, so he directly impeached him at this time.

But in the court, there is a mutual restraint, and the Qiao family has been proud for a long time, so it is appropriate to beat them.

In the eighth year of Yinde's reign, May 29th was the third prince Shen Chengze's third birthday.

The once-so-little baby was now three years old. Su Qingyao and Wen Xiuyuan had to lament that time really flies by. In a few days, it would be five years since they entered the palace.
