Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers
Chapter 261 The Prime Minister is arguing with the Regent again 10
Xie Yu hurriedly sat up straight, Xie Zhao hurriedly took out a book and began to read. When Tutor Su came in, the lazy uncle and nephew instantly turned into good students.
"Your Highness, you hold the book upside down," Tutor Su kindly reminded.
Xie Zhao turned the book over, and the pain in his palm came back again: "There is no class today, Master, what is the matter?"
Imperial Tutor Su did have something to say: "After a severe drought there will be severe floods. I hope the Emperor will make preparations early."
Xie Zhao put down the book in his hand and said, "The Prime Minister has also told me about this. I have already sent people to build a dam to prevent the Yellow River from flooding."
"Prime Minister?"
"Is there anything wrong with Master Su?"
Su Taifu raised his hand and smoothed his beard: "Li Qing is a man who can be used, but cannot be trusted!"
"If that's the case, why did the Grand Tutor allow your son to be on good terms with him?" Xie Zhao's tone did not reveal his joy or anger, but Xie Yu clearly realized that the emperor's uncle was angry.
Xie Yu held a memorial to the emperor's face and pretended to be busy. "Can't see me? Can't see me. Master Su, you have to bear the emperor's uncle's wrath alone."
"If it weren't for the fact that he and Zijin are from the same school, and if it weren't for the fact that my younger brother wrote to me asking me to take better care of him, I really would look down on such a corrupt and lawless person!"
"Taifu has not had much contact with Jintang. Don't listen to others' words and slander the court officials at will. You have no evidence to prove that he is corrupt."
Tutor Su was slightly stunned: "Your Highness, isn't this what you always say?" The Regent often said that the Prime Minister was corrupt, but he could not find any evidence, otherwise he would have killed all nine clans of Lord Li.
Xie Zhao: “…”Did I say that?
Guilty in his heart, Xie Yu turned to look at his nephew. From behind the memorial, he revealed a pair of big dark eyes. Seeing the uneasiness in the emperor's uncle's eyes, he nodded affirmatively:
"Uncle, you used to scold the prime minister often. I have written it down in my notebook. Do you want me to see it?" Xie Yu remembered clearly all the people the uncle hated. He would avenge him when he came to power in the future!
"What are you looking at? Look carefully at your memorial!"
Xie Yu nodded. The emperor's uncle was so angry that he had to add one more sentence to his notebook: [You can provoke the emperor's uncle, but you can't provoke the emperor's aunt! ]
Master Su stopped talking about the Prime Minister and urged the Regent to marry:
"Your Majesty, no one in the court supports you, so marriage is the best solution. You should decide on the positions of the princess and the two concubines as soon as possible.
In my opinion, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, the second legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Supreme Court, and the concubine's daughter of the Left Censor of the Inspectorate can all be selected as the prince's concubine.
They are all neutral officials. If they were to marry the prince, they should stand more firmly on the side of His Majesty."
Xie Zhao wanted to kick the man out. Everything Tutor Su said was unpleasant to the ears!
"No need, Master, you should worry about your youngest son. When Zijin comes back from the disaster relief work in the north, find him a wife as soon as possible, so that he won't hang out with corrupt officials like the Prime Minister all day long, which will damage his reputation!"
"Alas." When Su Taifu mentioned his youngest son, he felt a headache.
"It's not that I don't want to marry him, it's that mother and madam look down on ordinary people, and the one they like, Zijin doesn't like, so the situation is stuck here."
Xie Zhao took the opportunity to change the subject: "Aunt Heyi's birthday is coming soon. How about this? Let's have her come to the palace to hold a birthday banquet and invite all officials to bring their female relatives. Let her find a suitable wife for Zijin."
"This... Prince, my mother is a married woman from outside the palace. How can we hold a banquet in the palace? It's against the rules!"
Xie Zhao didn't care about any rules: "Without a concubine in charge in the palace, it's lonely all day long. It would be nice to have a birthday banquet to liven it up."
The two debated for a while, and in the end, Tutor Su was unable to refuse the prince's kindness.
He had no choice but to get up and leave the imperial study quickly, and go home to have a good talk with his mother. Holding a birthday banquet in the palace is much more complicated than holding one in the mansion.
Xie Zhao gave a thumbs up to his own cleverness. He found something for Master Su to do to see if he would urge them to get married. Not only that, he could also get rid of Su Zijin's love rival at the same time, killing two birds with one stone!
"Gray Shadow!" Xie Zhao called the head of the secret guards:
“Go and investigate that Magistrate Cai. If the evidence he has is true, destroy it. The money that the Prime Minister embezzled will be replaced from my private treasury, and I will double the amount and send it to the victims.
If the evidence is false and the Prime Minister has not been corrupt, then find out who is behind it. I want to see who wants to frame Qingqing! ? "
Given that Li Qing had a criminal record, Xie Zhao was not sure whether he was involved in this matter, so he took the opportunity to leave the hall, first to find out the situation before trying the case. He would also go to ask Qing Qing in the evening.
Xie Zhao was investigating the whole cause and effect, and Xie Feng also went to find someone to investigate after returning home. However, Li Qing himself was very open-minded, he ate and drank as usual, and didn't take anything to heart.
The original owner never left any evidence every time he was greedy for money. After Li Qing came, he didn't take a penny. What is he afraid of?
Knowing that he was not involved in the disaster silver, Xie Zhao did not need to stop and ordered the secret guards to find out who was behind Prefect Cai as soon as possible.
That magistrate Cai who cries all the time is obviously a small fry, and there must be a big fish behind him...
Three days later, the case of Prime Minister Li's embezzlement of disaster relief funds was handed over to the Dali Temple for trial.
Halfway through the trial, the regent sent someone to deliver new evidence, proving that the prime minister had nothing to do with the corruption case and that there was someone else behind the scenes. Unfortunately, that person's identity had not been found out for the time being.
Even under torture in the Dali Temple, Magistrate Cai refused to reveal who had ordered him to do so.
He cried and told them not to ask anymore, saying that the lives of the whole family depended on him, there was no way he could tell anyone!
Li Qing fed him a poisonous insect that could speak the truth, and only then did he find out the whole story. The mastermind behind the incident was Marquis Anguo.
He bribed the people around Su Zijin and colluded with Prefect Cai to embezzle 10,000 taels of disaster relief silver. Before the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple noticed the shortage of disaster relief silver, he secretly came to the capital and tried to frame the prime minister.
If Su Zijin knew that 10,000 taels of silver were missing from the disaster relief fund during this period, he would definitely investigate further. Then, they would use their backup plan to kill Su Shaoqing.
Li Qing's eyebrows moved slightly. Is Su Zijin in danger?
Xie Zhao asked Huiying to immediately send secret guards to the disaster relief site to protect Su Shaoqing. Even though that guy was annoying, he was Aunt Heyi's most beloved grandson after all, and nothing could happen to him.
After Tu Lu revealed the real murderer, Magistrate Cai burst into tears, hugged the prison railings and scolded Li Qing:
"You have found my enemy. I am in trouble. I have an 80-year-old mother and a son who can't walk. Wow wow wow..."
Li Qing blocked his ears helplessly: "Stop crying, I won't tell anyone about your confession, and I'll help find your family."
Prefect Cai immediately stopped crying, his fat belly stuck in the middle of the railing, and asked impatiently: "Really? Prime Minister Li, you can't lie to me, or I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Li Qing threw a handkerchief at him with disdain: "Don't worry, after I find your family, I will go and find trouble with Marquis Anguo."
"Wow, wow, wow... Prime Minister, you are such a good person. I will never call you a stingy little corrupt official again!"
