Chapter 168 Severe Punishment

With such a move, Yu Wenzhe didn't dare to try it lightly, and he didn't dare to talk to Ye Donglan, but Ye Donglan didn't tease him, and occasionally gave him food.

The meal passed silently and harmoniously, and it was already dark outside, Ye Donglan asked someone to clear the table, while he patiently lit the candles in the room.

Yu Wenzhe was still a little numb, unable to think about what just happened.

He held the document in his hand but couldn't see it in the slightest. He watched Ye Donglan walking around in the room, lighting up the candles one by one, and the room was lit up. The candlelight reflected Ye Donglan's figure, occupying the All eyes of Yu Wenzhe.

After Ye Donglan finished lighting the candles, he came over and brightened up a few lamps beside Yu Wenzhe.

"Since His Majesty has to deal with government affairs, he still needs to brighten the lights."

Yu Wenzhe reads a lot on weekdays, and he would handle government affairs at night in the south, but after Ye Donglan was exiled, he was not used to having people by his side. He was fascinated by reading, even if the candles were dimmed late at night, he often ignored it. Now that someone was suddenly by his side like before, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

Seeing Yu Wenzhe lost in thought, Ye Donglan leaned over, "What is Your Majesty thinking?"

The sudden approach and the breath in his ear made Yu Wenzhe's mind blank for a moment, and then he stammered to find an excuse, "Of course it's a political matter."

Ye Donglan didn't pierce, stood up and said, "Then I won't bother Your Majesty."

Ye Donglan went to the outer room, with a stack of documents in hand. He glanced at the documents before raising his eyes to look at Yu Wenzhe. Yu Wenzhe gradually entered the mood, holding a cinnabar pen in his hand to review carefully, frowning and hesitating occasionally, and occasionally writing quickly.

Ye Donglan smiled.

Although it was fate that pushed him to this position, even though he didn't like this position, in fact, he was born to belong to this position.

The ability to never forget, was born in the royal family, has a heart of benevolence and love for all people, has also read poetry and books, and has the compassion of a literati, so he is suitable to sit on this position above ten thousand people.

As the night darkened, Yu Wenzhe went to bed peacefully, Ye Donglan tucked him in the quilt, extinguished the last candle in the house, closed the door and went out.

The night wind was a bit chilly, Ye Donglan rubbed his arms, but habitually sat down on the steps in front of the door, until late at night, Yu Wenzhe slept soundly, and he went back to bed.

Safe night.

Early the next morning, Yu Wenzhe and Ye Donglan went to court together, Yu Wenzhe sat in a high position, and Ye Donglan stood arrogantly at the head of the officials.

"Do you have something to start with, gentlemen?"

Yu Wenzhe read a lot of documents last night, and had some understanding of the affairs of the court. Today, he is much more natural, and when he speaks, he is not angry and pretentious, quite like an emperor.

Ye Donglan curled the corners of his mouth in relief, and the ministers discussed some trivial matters in an orderly manner, and discussed and resolved them one by one.

After no one played any more, Yu Wenzhe looked around the hall and said, "Since all my lovers are fine, I will say something."

Yu Wenzhe threw the memorial in hand down the hall, "Look at what this is."

All the ministers looked at each other, Ye Donglan walked over and bent down to pick it up, and handed it to Prime Minister Cong.

Prime Minister Cong was stunned for a moment, took it, and after reading it, his expression was unspeakable, and all the ministers continued to read, but they didn't know what to say.

"What? Nothing to say?"

Yu Wenzhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Prime Minister Cong, "Cong Aiqing, can you tell me first?"

Prime Minister Cong was taken aback when he was named. He had never inquired about the floods in the south, and he didn't know much about the situation in Tanyuan City. Yu Wenting had approved the money before, but Yu Wenzhe criticized Tanyuan City in the memorial. Bai Zhizhou, this attitude made him unpredictable.

Cong Jing saw that her father was speechless, so she stood up, "Your Majesty, I think that the funds from Tanyuan City cannot be appropriated."

Yu Wenzhe was stunned for a moment, but remembering that he just called Cong Aiqing just now, he patiently listened to Cong Jing's words.

"At that time, I also worked in disaster relief in the south. I learned a little bit about it. Tanyuan City is one of the few cities not affected by the disaster. Lord Bai made a false report to seek personal gain. He should be severely punished."

As soon as Cong Jing said this, there was an uproar in the hall. After all, they were not completely clean, and Yu Wenzhe's attitude made them a little panicked.

"Your Majesty, should someone be sent to investigate, in case Lord Bai really needs to use money to benefit the people."

Ye Donglan was aware of these things, and stood up and said, "This lord is really thoughtful. This king has investigated, and none of the funds that Lord Bai received before was used for the common people. On the contrary, he married a few young ladies. My concubine, I renovated my house."

The people who had just spoken immediately fell silent, they were still a little in awe of Ye Donglan's wrist, and once Ye Donglan said this, they all echoed Cong Jing's words.

Yu Wenzhe looked at Ye Donglan, the two looked at each other and smiled, then he said seriously, "Then do as Cong Aiqing said."

"Let's retreat."
