The princess is a man of science

The origin of this matter that attracted everyone's attention was that a commoner from other places came to Chang'an to sue the imperial court, and happened to bump into the imperial historian.This censor was the most upright and thorny one in the court, so he asked him who he wanted to sue and why.

When this person saw Yu Shi, he felt that he had met a savior, and immediately told the whole situation.It turned out that his hometown is not too far from Chang'an. Due to the annual flood, a river embankment was built last year.

However, this year, the embankment collapsed before there was much flooding. Obviously, it was not because of too much water, but because the embankment was built with jerry-built materials.

Coincidentally, the person who presided over the construction was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Zhao's father.

Thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded, hundreds of people were killed or injured, but local officials suppressed the report.That place is not far from Chang'an, and it was able to hide it from the court for a whole month.If this person hadn't come to complain, I'm afraid it would have been completely suppressed.

Yu Shi quickly reported the cause and effect of the matter to the emperor, implicating Liu Shangshu's corruption case.But just one corruption is not considered to be eradicated. Later, the people sent by the emperor found out that he was also corrupt in other projects. On weekdays, he even condoned his sixth son to extort bribes from officials and businessmen.

However, in the emperor's perception, Liu Shangshu was always thrifty and did not live a luxurious life. Where did the bribes he received go?The emperor inevitably had a lot of ideas in his mind, and ordered people to investigate strictly. The officials who investigated the case thought he had hidden the money, so they concentrated on looking for it.

However, they did not find the place where the money was hidden. Instead, they found out the whereabouts of Liu Shangshu's money. The money flowed into an unknown bank, and the money in the bank went round and round, and finally fell into an official of the Ministry of Rites hands.

As for this official, by coincidence, he is the uncle of the second prince Shu Heng.

Cutting the grass and removing the roots naturally means digging out the roots.Only Liu Shangshu, a loyal and patriotic grass, pulled out a string of long roots on it, and the second prince Shu Heng was tied at the end of the roots.

By now, people with discerning eyes naturally understand everything.The emperor didn't expect that Liu Shangshu, who he thought had been loyal to him, was actually from Shu Heng's faction, and even took bribes to supply him.

Before contacting about Shu Heng's use of money to win over officials, the emperor ordered Shu Heng to stop and think about his past in a fit of anger, and asked people to investigate who had anything to do with him.

For Shu Heng, the emperor still cared about the relationship between father and son, so the punishment was not severe.However, it was different for other people. He pulled out Shu Heng's henchmen and punished them severely according to their crimes. There were also many people who were exiled or sentenced to death.

Naturally, Liu Shangshu couldn't escape. With so many lives on his back, and cheating the emperor, he was directly sentenced to beheaded.However, because of someone's mediation, the emperor ordered the emperor not to kill his family, but exiled his family to Guangxi, and they were not allowed to return to Chang'an for life.

As the eldest son, Liu Sheng was of course exiled with his family, but later someone rescued him and allowed him to live again without having to go to Guangxi to suffer.Shu Jin obtained his confession, but did not show it to anyone, because according to the laws of Daqi, a son who sues his father will also be punished.

Liu Wenxi has already entered the royal family's genealogy, and Liu's crimes have nothing to do with him.But he still went to bid farewell to Liu Shangshu and everyone in the Liu family, and spread the news that Liu Wenxi asked Shu Jin to intercede, and the emperor was willing to show mercy to the Liu family.No matter how much Liu Wenxi didn't want to see the Liu family, he had to show that he was very filial to avoid being criticized.

When visiting the prison, Liu Wenxi looked at Liu Shangshu, and Liu Shangshu also looked at Liu Wenxi.During this time, he suddenly aged 20 years. His hair used to be almost all black, but now it is almost completely white. The wrinkles on his face have also increased, and his back is bent.He looked at Liu Wenxi with a pair of cloudy eyes, not knowing what to say, let alone nothing to say.

"I just want to know one thing now. Do you know about the fact that my sixth brother drugged me?" Liu Wenxi asked Liu Shangshu. He came today to know the real situation at that time.

"You really look like your mother." Liu Shangshu answered the wrong question and stared at him blankly.

Liu Wenxi looked at him and didn't know what to say. If Liu Shangshu pretended to be stupid, then he wouldn't be able to ask anything.

When the two of them were confronting each other, the sixth child of the Liu family, who had lowered his head and was holding quail behind him, suddenly spoke. He almost rushed in front of Liu Wenxi and shouted at him.

"You ask him if he knows? Of course he does. Liu Zhao, he is my father, not your father! He will defend me no matter what I do, even if I want to kill you, he will protect me, hahaha. "The sixth son of the Liu family seemed to be crazy, and shouted at Liu Wenxi.But Liu Wenxi felt that what he said was true. Liu Shangshu knew about it before, but he didn't know the purpose.

Later Liu Wenxi gave birth to Mengmeng, and Liu Shangshu learned about the good deeds he had done from his sixth son, but he still chose to remain silent.

"Don't you like the second prince, but now you have given birth to King Liao, hahaha, Liu Zhao, you monster! Why do you like the second prince? How can you be worthy of him?"

When Liu Shangshu heard his son say this, he was finally moved and wanted to cover his son's mouth.However, the sixth child of the Liu family was a young man after all, much stronger than Liu Shangshu, and Liu Shangshu had been tortured, so he couldn't stop him at all.

"Are you worthy, Liu Zhao, you are a flirtatious slut, □□!" The sixth son of the Liu family pushed Liu Shangshu away, and became more and more crazy towards Liu Wenxi.

When Liu Wenxi heard that he was scolding Liu Zhao, she almost didn't feel it, but it was a pity that Liu Zhao had such a younger brother.He looked at Lao Liu, but the other party didn't dare to look back at him, just kept cursing.

Liu Wenxi wanted to say that Liu Zhao had never done anything to Lao Liu, and his hatred came for no reason.But he didn't bother arguing with a lunatic about such things.

"Shu Heng has never liked you." Liu Wenxi said coldly to the sixth child of the Liu family, and he also knew how to poke the other's heart.Sure enough, when the sixth child of the Liu family heard this, he suddenly cried as if stimulated, squatting on the ground and crying with his head in his hands.

His howling was extremely ugly, Liu Wenxi looked at him, and a cruel thought came to his mind.

The day of Liu Shangshu's execution has not yet arrived, and the Liu family will be exiled in three days. If you want to realize his plan, you must hurry up.

Liu Wenxi didn't say anything more, he already knew what he should know.The cell was dark and damp, and there was a musty and rotten smell, which made Liu Wenxi feel bad.He left the prison, outside, Shu Jin was waiting for him in the carriage.

Seeing Shu Jin, all the gloom in Liu Wenxi's heart dissipated. He got into the car and leaned against Shu Jin.

In the next few days, another banquet was held in Liao Palace, and the princess stayed behind closed doors.Until the early morning of the fourth day, news spread that the sixth child of the Liu family had committed suicide in prison, while Shu Heng left the mansion privately, was punished by the emperor, and was lying at home at this time.

Shu Heng took the medicine and was rinsing his mouth with tea. When he thought about what happened the day before, he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't help feeling sick.It's also fortunate that he committed suicide with self-knowledge, and didn't let others know what he was thinking, or else... Shu Heng simply didn't want to think about it again.

"Bah, it's disgusting, I was touched by him." Shu Heng frowned and said disgustedly.Compared with the injuries on his body, he still felt that the sixth son of the Liu family made him feel more disgusted. He had always treated him as a confidant, but the other party had such thoughts about him.

After he found out about it two days ago, he tried to find a way to meet him, but he didn't expect him to cry aggrievedly, and wanted to save him himself.

Thinking of his face, Shu Heng retched for a while, and he also said that Liu Zhao also liked him.It's not that he has never met Liu Wenxi, Liu Wenxi has never looked at him directly, he is with Shu Jin, and the child has been born, so why did he like him before? Have the two of them met?

Of course, Shu Heng was not only angry with the sixth son of the Liu family, he was also angry with Liu Shangshu. He accepted bribes when he took bribes, and repaired the embankment well. He was not greedy enough, and even he was involved in it in the end.After this happened, even Concubine Xian's rank was downgraded, and now the emperor always goes to Concubine Shu, obviously wanting Shu Zhan to be the crown prince.

He worked so hard to pretend to be his grandson, only to make a comeback, but this road was completely cut off by Liu Shangshu.How unlucky he was in his life to meet father and son like them. To be honest, he really wanted the entire Liu family to be executed.

However, Shu Heng can only think about it at home. In fact, he has completely lost the trust of the emperor, and he will never have the chance to be the prince. Not happy.

Thinking of this, Shu Heng felt the wound hurt even more.

His side is not going well, but Shu Zhan is in a good mood. His biggest threat has been eradicated, and the position of the prince should be secure.Moreover, the emperor's health is getting worse day by day, perhaps, he won't sit on the throne for too long.

However, Shu Jin, who took the lead in planning the whole thing, didn't react at all right now.After Liu Shangshu's death, Liu Wenxi never appeared in front of everyone.Others said that he was filial, but Shu Zhan knew that Liu Wenxi might get bored with Shu Jin at home.

He guessed right, Liu Wenxi wanted to pretend to be a filial son, he couldn't go out every day, and he couldn't engage in obvious entertainment, so his daily life became playing with Mengmeng, or playing with Shu Jin.

Mengmeng is a simple and cute little girl, father and son don't have many things to play together.But Shu Jin's cute entertainment is very rich, especially when Chang'an is so prosperous, the fresh things are not comparable to Liaodong.There is a huge pile of pamphlets that the newlyweds can read, and Liu Wenxi reads them every day, and then they practice together.

When he was finally able to go out, Liu Wenxi felt that he had made up too much recently, and he wanted to support his waist when he went out.Then he went to see Shu Jin and put his hand on his waist. He didn't believe that Shu Jin wouldn't be tired if he worked harder?
