"The evil deeds done by the Prime Minister are far from limited to this. In February of this year, the Prime Minister returned to Ji County to hold a homecoming banquet for the female commander, and at the same time prepared relief grain for the victims of the Youzhou disaster and the military rations needed by the Northern Palace Army..."

Tang Shun's loud voice still echoed in the hall.

Song Shiwen was filled with extreme doubt. How much had this unfilial son discovered? Why did he know nothing about this? Han Yu must have been afraid of being scolded, which was why he was holding back.

He hesitated and wanted to interrupt, but he seemed to be losing his temper and trying to cover up his mistakes.

They had all heard about this matter. After the disaster in Youzhou, Your Majesty made relief for Youzhou a top priority, but the court was unable to provide money and food. The Prime Minister, in order to share Your Majesty's worries, took the opportunity to raise funds when he returned home.

This matter was handled by the Prime Minister, who also obtained procedural approval documents from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War.

Several months have passed and there is still no news. Could it be that the Prime Minister is also corrupt in this matter?

"Under the order of the Prime Minister, the grain stored in Ji County was withdrawn."

Tang Shun shouted, "Ji County Magistrate Feng Yuan investigated and was told that the grain was stolen by pirates shortly after leaving the city. In fact, there were no pirates at all. The grain didn't even leave the city before it went straight into the hands of local dignitaries. It was originally public grain, but it was turned into private grain. They didn't even bother to pretend it was going to be private."

Everyone was shocked. If it was true, it would be truly shocking.

"Um?"

At this time, Emperor Yuan Jing, who was sitting on the throne, hummed softly.

He had been leaning back and pretending to be asleep, and only now did he move. This light hum was like thunderclap out of the blue, making everyone tremble.

As everyone knows, His Majesty now attaches the most importance to Youzhou. If such a thing really happened, he would definitely be furious.

"Where did you get all this information? You're so bold to speak nonsense about state affairs without verifying anything." Zhang Shouyan, the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief, who received a hint from Song Shiwen's eyes, immediately shouted back.

Tang Shun must not be allowed to continue speaking. Song Shiwen, who values ​​his reputation, cannot bear to see his reputation tarnished in this way, even though what he said is the truth.

He knew he was in real trouble.

Han Yu... These people are such idiots, they can't even pretend. Song Shiwen looked expressionless, but he was actually extremely angry.

Tang Shun said directly: "I am the Censor of Jiangzhou, so I naturally have the power to supervise. As for the evidence I mentioned, the court can immediately send people to investigate and find out whether it is true or not."

“It’s shocking!”

The Second Prince, Mu Yunxiu, sighed deeply, "The treasury is empty. After the disaster in Youzhou, the imperial court couldn't even distribute relief grain, yet corruption is rampant in the local areas..."

"Isn't Prince Qing too arbitrary?"

Crown Prince Mu Yunyin continued, "It's just the words of a seventh-rank censor. Can it be used as evidence?"

"I don't know anything else..."

Liang Qingwu also stood up and said, "When the Prime Minister and I returned home, he clearly said that he would collect food and fodder for our Northern Army. Now several months have passed and the Northern Army has seen nothing."

Everyone looked strange. It seemed that Liang Qingwu had already sided with the Second Prince. As the female commander of the Great Zhou, her words carried great weight.

Then, Luo Chuannan also stood up.

"As everyone knows, the son of the Prime Minister has been pursuing my daughter for a while now. My daughter hates him to the extreme, but Song Ming is like a maggot on her tarsal bone..."

"you......"

Song Shiwen took a deep breath, but still held it in. Even with his self-control, he almost exploded. These words were too harsh. Was his son a thorn in his side?

Isn’t this an insult?

The court officials present were also shocked and puzzled. They did not expect Luo Chuannan to say such a thing.

Even if Song Ming really pursued Luo Yurou, it wouldn't be like this.

There are many powerful young men in Beijing who are pursuing Luo Yurou. Even when the Prime Minister implemented the policy of reducing his title, Luo Chuannan didn't say anything. What happened?

Luo Chuannan seemed not to notice Song Shiwen's ugly face, and continued: "Of course my Yu Rou will not fall in love with Song Ming, but the toad jumps on the instep, it may not bite but it is disgusting."

Every word is shocking and leaves people dumbfounded.

They all thought that what Luo Chuannan said just now was already too much, but they didn't expect it to be even more excessive.

What did Song Shiwen do to offend Luo Chuannan?

Or, what did Song Ming do?

"Luo Chuannan, don't say such harsh words!" Song Shiwen finally couldn't bear it anymore. If he remained indifferent, he would be laughed to death.

"My daughter was forced to run away from home and went to Ji County."

Luo Chuannan didn't respond, and continued, "I don't know whether the evidence presented by the censor is true or false. I only know that Ji County is Song Shiwen's private garden. Your Majesty's decree is not as powerful as the Prime Minister's!"

"Luo Chuannan, stop slandering me!"

Song Shiwen could no longer bear it. Luo Chuannan's words were more serious than all the evidence Tang Shun had said.

"Your Majesty, Luo Chuannan is simply slandering and framing me. I am your Majesty's minister and a minister of the Great Zhou. Ji County is Ji County of the Great Zhou!" He bowed quickly.

"I have no doubt about your loyalty. What I want to ask is how to explain these mentioned sins."

Emperor Yuan Jing's faint voice came down, and Song Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief. He noticed that His Majesty did not sit up straight, but was still leaning casually on the dragon throne, which showed that he did not take it seriously.

But there must be an explanation.

Song Shiwen knew that he could not hesitate. So many people were staring at him covetously. If he said something wrong, he would face a thunderous outcry.

This time I can only admit defeat.

He knew that the evidence Tang Shun mentioned was true, and even more so. There were even some that had not been dug out, but it was enough. He didn't dare to gamble. If he was endlessly entangled and investigated, he would definitely be found.

Fortunately, these pieces of evidence only point to him but cannot prove that it is him.

This is the clever part. The Han family is making money for him, but what people can see is only the Han family making money.

In this case, we can only give up Ji County, the Han family of Ji County, the prefect Zhou Zhengan... and the former Ji County magistrate Bai Yong, and many other people, all of whom will be abandoned.

It takes courage to cut off one's own arm.

But more of unwillingness.

How could he be willing to accept that all his hard work for so many years was gone in one day?

Rebellious son!

Treason!

Song Shiwen cursed in his heart.

The cleverness of this matter was that he was not prepared at all. He didn't even know what the current situation in Ji County was. A memorial was sent directly to the capital, and Lu Taiyuan selected a censor.

A censor’s mouth cannot be stopped, and a censor who dares to hit the Panlong Pillar cannot be stopped even more.

He doesn't dare, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't dare, and His Majesty doesn't dare either.

Therefore, these evidences of his crimes were made public in public, pointing the finger at him. If he wanted to preserve his reputation, he had to give up some people.

This time we lost.

And he lost to his own son.

Lu Taiyuan, Liang Qingwu and Luo Chuannan represent different forces respectively, but their joint attack is all related to that rebellious son.

In the first game between father and son, the father lost.

Song Shiwen thought about it, he raised his head and shouted, "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
