After crossing, I became the most powerful cub in the palace

The queen was still a little puzzled, but Xiao Yuanjing's mind turned extraordinarily fast, and he quickly supported the queen and said:

"Empress, since the emperor wants the child to go there, the child has to go. Don't worry, the empress, the child will come back as soon as possible."

The empress held Xiao Yuanjing's arm and stared sideways at him: "The empress is waiting for you to come back, if there is anything that needs the empress, ask someone to pass a message to us, and the empress will definitely help you."

Xiao Yuanjing nodded and smiled, and after nodding vigorously, he followed Chengyou to Wende Hall to accept the emperor's summons.

The sky in autumn is always so refreshing, with a few clouds hanging in the clear blue sky, or scattered by the autumn wind, like catkins.

A group of people on the palace road headed towards Wende Palace headed by Xiao Yuanjing, different from Xiao Yuanjing's calm and calm, Cheng Youzhi had a dignified expression.

Every time he summoned Xiao Yuanjing to Wende Hall, bad things would always happen, and this time was no exception, he watched Xiao Yuanjing walk out of the dangerous Wende Hall again and again.

It's just that this time it came so fiercely, I don't know if Xiao Yuanjing can escape it.

Different from the past, there are many guards standing in front of the Wende Hall today, each holding a knife handle, looking solemn and serious. Xiao Yuanjing stopped in front of the steps outside the Wende Hall, looked up at the plaque of the Wende Hall, and could not help nodding his head Smile.

Cheng Youzhi was puzzled and said, "What are you laughing at, Your Highness?"

Xiao Yuanjing said: "Put it to death and live later, I was thinking, after today is over, I should be... safe."

Facing Xiao Yuanjing's confident appearance, Cheng Youzhi felt admiration spontaneously, and after Xiao Yuanjing stepped into Wende Hall, he stood outside the hall, closed the hall door, and waited in the hall together with the imperial guards. Ask outside the hall.

And when Xiao Yuanjing stepped into the Wende Hall, he could feel the murderous aura in the hall, which made Xiao Yuanjing's back tremble, and he stepped into the hall after he collected his breath in front of the hall.

Kneeling in the Hall of Wende at this moment is Hubu Shangshu, standing beside him is Yushi doctor, and in front of Hubu Shangshu are some accounts.

Xiao Yuanjing's eyes swept over everyone in the hall one by one, but Xiao Yuanchang was not there yet. Xiao Yuanjing stepped up to the hall with his head held high, bowed to the emperor, then glanced at the Minister of the Household Department, and did not ask any questions. Then, it was the censor who stood holding the jade gauge and said:

"His Royal Highness Changping, as Minister of the Book, did he not even know about his officials' greed for ink?"

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at Yu Shi, then looked back at the emperor: "Father, what's wrong with the Minister of the Household Department?"

The emperor looked dignified, with deep eyes, glanced at Xiao Yuanjing and said, "Jing'er, I'm here to ask you how much silver you transferred from the household department when you repaired the Zhenbei Palace."

Xiao Yuanjing thought about it carefully, and said: "At the beginning, when he was not in charge of the court, the government office of the Household Department evaded it twice, and finally allocated 2000 taels to the Ministry of Industry, none of which ever passed through the hands of my ministers."

The emperor's eyes froze, and he hurriedly said: "Yushi, what are these account books?"

The censor glanced at Hubu Shangshu who was kneeling on the ground and said:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, when the Minister of the Household Department allocated funds for the renovation of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, His Royal Highness Changping Wang said that 2000 taels were allocated, but 5000 taels were recorded in the account books of the Household Department. As for the extra 3000 taels? Where did he go, could it be that he was corrupted by people from all over the household department yamen?"

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really don't dare to be greedy. It is His Royal Highness Changping Wang who asked me to make this fake account. When repairing the Zhenbei Palace, the extra 3000 taels will be given to you." People from Zhenbei Palace."

When Xiao Yuanjing heard such low-level lies, he almost applauded him: "When did I ask you to give 3000 taels to the Zhenbei Palace?"

Hubu Shangshu looked back at Xiao Yuanjing and said: "Your Highness, did you forget that it was you who said that the Zhenbei Palace has worked hard to guard the border for generations. This time, the prince returned to Beijing to recuperate. We can't let them be wronged, so we allocated 3000 taels." They do everyday consumption."

Xiao Yuanjing pointed to himself, covered his lips and coughed lightly: "Go ahead, what else do you want to say."

Hubu Shangshu said: "Now that the incident has happened, doesn't Your Highness want me to bear this crime alone? If that's the case, I will no longer bear the crime for Your Highness."

As he said that, Hubu Shangshu kowtowed to the emperor like a heartbroken person:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Changping secretly colluded with the Zhenbei Palace. Since the opening of His Highness's palace until now, all taxes and silver have not been paid once. Only the ministers are asked to register their names. His Highness often asks the ministers to take care of the Zhenbei Palace. For the military salary, His Highness asked the minister to take care of them, and even let the minister buy a private house outside the city, Changping Wangdao, usually there are many people in the capital, so I met Prince Wei in the house outside the city."

The Minister of the Household Department who was speaking, as expected in advance, pulled out all the account books and the deeds of the private houses outside the city from the evidence in front of him.

The censor couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Changping is so lawless and unscrupulous in amassing wealth, colluding with the Zhenbei Palace, embezzling the user's money for the Zhenbei Palace's private use, this is really against the law. Your Majesty, please deal with it severely and clean up the corrupt officials in the court."

The Minister of the Household Department also quickly said: "Your Majesty, His Highness Changping Wang has been colluding with the Zhenbei Palace. Although the money embezzled before and after is only more than [-] taels, but His Highness is so lawless and embezzled for personal use. , but His Highness insists on going his own way and refuses to listen to the dissuasion of the minister, and the minister deserves death."

Xiao Yuanjing looked straight at the Hubu Shangshu, and listened to Yushi's embellishment, and couldn't help but sneered in his heart.

Obviously knowing that they are fabricated things, especially the evidence that he has not directly participated in, if it is put in normal times, the emperor will definitely not believe it.

However, there have been rumors in the capital these past two days, targeting Xiao Yuanjing and Wei Changgong. The emperor may not believe the matter of accumulating money to collect the Zhenbei Palace, but once Wei Changgong is involved, the emperor must be Unsatisfactory.

Regardless of whether it was true or not that the embezzlement of money from the treasury was for the private use of the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, in the emperor's heart, if Wei Changgong hadn't been there, perhaps these people would have targeted Xiao Yuanjing in this way.

Thinking of this, the emperor's expression became more serious.

Xiao Yuanjing hurriedly saluted and said: "Father, my minister has never done anything to steal money, nor has he embezzled public funds for his own use, nor has he evaded taxes. Not only that, but the amount of tax money my minister pays every month is only as good as that. Young master, father, please be the master for your son."

The emperor looked up at Xiao Yuanjing for a long time, and then said: "Of course I believe in you, my son, I can trust you, as for the Zhenbei Palace, I'm afraid I can't trust you, come here, the son of Xuanwei enters the palace .”
