Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers

Li Qing's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the chance for him to make money?

The Prime Minister overruled all opposition and took on the mission to southern Xinjiang.

The court officials had mixed feelings. On the one hand, they hoped that this corrupt official would bring shame to Southern Xinjiang, but on the other hand, they were worried about the common people along the way, fearing that every last penny in their homes would be snatched away by Prime Minister Li.

With such mixed feelings, the ministers sent away Prime Minister Li and his youngest nephew, as it was said that the nephew was going to gain experience together.

Humph, I guess you won’t learn anything good by following a corrupt official!

In the carriage outside the capital, Li Qing glanced at the excited little emperor. This little guy insisted on pretending to be his nephew and coming out together, not afraid of the bumpy and tiring journey.

When each emperor ascended the throne, he would train a secret guard who was extremely similar to him, in case of emergency.

The one sitting on the throne now is Xie Yu's stand-in. He is still young, but his acting skills are very good.

Only Xie Zhao and Su Taifu knew about this matter, in order to prevent any mishaps to the real emperor outside.

Li Qing stopped Xie Yu who kept leaning out and said, "Do you have a stye on your butt? You've been moving around all the time. Go get some sleep. You haven't closed your eyes since last night. Aren't you sleepy?"

Since he was pretending to be his nephew, Li Qing would not be polite and would take care of him as if he were his own junior. He would criticize him when necessary. A child who lacks sleep will not grow tall!

This was the first time Xie Yu had left the palace since he was a child, and he was going to such a faraway place. He was too excited and didn’t want to sleep at all.

The prime minister kept nagging him for a quarter of an hour. The little emperor felt sleepy and fell asleep on Li Qing's legs.

Li Qing put him on the cushion beside him. The carriage was big enough, so he lay down and took a nap.

It was no surprise that he discussed post-war compensation with Nanjiang. Li Qing’s focus was not on them. The main purpose of his trip was on his way back from Nanjiang…

At the first stop, Li Qing "accidentally" got into trouble and was framed and thrown into jail.

Another one accidentally exposed his identity and took the opportunity to raid the house of a black-hearted prefect, finding a large sum of silver. He gave half to the people and kept the other half for himself.

He only left some antique calligraphy and paintings and threw them to the little emperor: "Your reward!"

After dividing the "stolen goods", Li Qing bared his teeth and rubbed Xie Yu's head vigorously:

"Your Majesty, you are still young, you can earn money slowly, you have to endure more hardships. I am old, I can't endure hardships, you deserve to enjoy the good life, this money is mine!"

Xie Yu: "..." Everyone said that the prime minister was corrupt, and today he finally believed it! Shouldn't the money confiscated from the property be turned over to the national treasury?

At the second stop, Li Qing led his soldiers to raid a bandit's hideout at night, emptied out all the property, went down the mountain to help the people, and asked Xie Yu to stay behind to settle the women who were captured.

Xie Yu took out the banknotes and cried, why did he have to pay?

Li Qing counted a lot of things from the bandits and returned most of them to the victims. He only kept 10% of the property.

But the young emperor spent all the five thousand taels of silver notes he brought with him. He was very angry. Not only did the imperial aunt embezzle money, but she also stole my small treasury!

At the third stop, Li Qing arrested many wealthy people who were unkind.

Almost half of their property was taken away by Prime Minister Li, who also warned these people that if they dared to bully ordinary people again, they would be beheaded in public.

Under his threat, the wealthy families took their silver coins and went one by one to apologize to those they had oppressed.

Prime Minister Li held the silver, waved his sleeves and left, taking away a wave of hatred.

……

Li Qing's journey from southern Xinjiang back to Beijing was very colorful, and he counted money until his hands cramped.

After arriving in the capital, countless memorials impeaching him were placed in the imperial study, which was so eye-watering.

Everyone knew that Li Qing would be greedy, but no one expected him to be so greedy. The court officials roughly estimated that Prime Minister Li’s current assets were definitely comparable to the national treasury!

Unfortunately, no matter how they impeached him, it was useless. The Regent made it clear that he wanted to protect Prime Minister Li and even announced on the spot that she was his future princess.

The court officials: "..." Okay, okay, let's play like this, eh? Who can beat you! ?

Thinking back to the days when they were terrified for the prime minister and pleaded for him, the ministers felt speechless. The protagonist was acting, but they, the supporting characters, were too immersed in the play.

They were all filled with regret and would snort every time they walked to Li Qing's side.

Although their relationship has been made clear, impeachment still needs to be carried out. The prime minister's corruption this time is too serious, and it is obvious to everyone. The evidence is conclusive, take out all his money!

The scandal of Prime Minister Li's corruption had caused widespread controversy, and all officials signed a petition to the emperor, asking him to punish Li Qing. When the news spread beyond the capital, the people were also talking about it.

Xie Zhao sneered and threw Li Qing into jail, where he was well fed and well cared for.

Three months later, the court received letters written in blood from the people. Countless people pleaded for Prime Minister Li, crying and saying that he was a kind-hearted man who worked for the benefit of the people and was a good official, and that the court should not punish him.

Some people even traveled thousands of miles to the capital to appeal for justice for Prime Minister Li.

In early June, the Dali Temple presided over the trial of Prime Minister Li’s corruption case.

Tens of thousands of people gathered from all over the place outside the city, spontaneously formed a team, broke into the capital, walked towards the palace, kowtowed with every step, and begged the emperor to release Prime Minister Li without guilt.

This move caused an uproar in the city. The Dali Temple Chief Justice tried the case under such pressure that his hair turned white.

"The imperial edict arrives——"

Eunuch Yu, the chief eunuch of the imperial palace, stood outside the palace, facing the excited people, and was a little worried that they would eat him.

Fortunately, this decree was in favor of Prime Minister Li. It roughly meant that the little nephew who followed Li Qing out this time was actually the emperor himself.

He saw all the good deeds that Prime Minister Li had done for the country and the people. He had been sick from traveling so much, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen after he recovered.

The emperor said that he felt bad and could not bear to watch the prime minister go to jail, so he decided to release him and reinstate him. The money was not considered as corruption by the prime minister, but a reward from the court!

After all, the prime minister has dealt with many corrupt officials along the way, so it is normal to give him some rewards.

As the imperial edict spread, the people gathered in the capital gradually dispersed. Steward Wu set up a tent outside the city and gave them travel expenses with a smile. They all came for his prime minister, so their round-trip fare was fully covered.

The people were even more grateful to Prime Minister Li, he was indeed a good official!

After coming out of the prison, Li Qing had gained some weight. He put on his official uniform again and entered the hall with his colleagues. He was still as arrogant as ever and confronted everyone he saw.

All the civil and military officials in the court: “…” They are convinced, completely convinced. No one can overthrow the Prime Minister!

In order to last long, one has to be a little hypocritical, or be as shameless as the prime minister!

Li Qing's actions completely cleared his reputation and made him a lot of money, directly turning the little emperor into his little fan.

Xie Yu followed him all day long, calling him "Aunt Imperial" and "Aunt Imperial". She would run to the Prime Minister's residence at any time, determined to learn all the Prime Minister's skills.
