Shen Huai stood up and bowed, "I understand."
Prince Yueqing had already planned to let Shen Huai leave, but suddenly he remembered something and looked up at Shen Huai.
"By the way, spread the word that the emperor wants to execute Qi Xuan and his mother."
Everyone saw how Qi Xuan treated the princess outside.
He just didn't believe that the ministers and people would not be heartbroken if his royal brother executed two people.
If I could use this incident to ruin my brother's reputation, that would be a great thing. If not, it would at least annoy him.
Chen Huai understood his intention and left.
Looking at Chen Huai's departing figure, King Yueqing asked the subordinate who came in, "Do you feel that Chen Huai looks familiar?"
But he couldn't remember who he looked like.
The subordinate rolled his eyes silently in his heart. You've just met him, how can he not look familiar?
But he said respectfully: "I didn't feel that."
…
Shen Huai was extremely efficient. Within half a day, everyone knew that the emperor was going to execute Qi Xuan.
So, the next morning, they all came out to make speeches at the court.
[Tsk tsk, these ministers really play dead when it comes to serious matters, blaming the tyrant first.]
[However, how did everyone know about this even before the execution date for the domestic violence man and his abusive mother was decided?]
Yu Yiluo rolled her big black eyes.
[It must have been the Yueqing King who had the rumor spread. After all, he couldn't do it openly, so he could only quietly annoy people.]
The emperor was still listening carefully to Yu Yiluo's thoughts and took a step forward with deep thought.
"Your Majesty, Qi Xuan and the Fifth Princess were deeply in love. If you suddenly execute him, I'm afraid the people will think you are exercising tyranny and killing innocent people."
"Yes, yes. Everyone knows how Qi Xuan treated the Fifth Princess. If they really killed Qi Xuan and his mother, I'm afraid people all over the world would talk about it and say that the royal family is bullying others by abusing their power."
The emperor looked at the people who were talking with a smile, "Chen Huai, you are not qualified to be the Minister of Revenue."
Shen Huai's heart tightened. Could it be that the emperor discovered something?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the emperor continue: "I don't blame you for not knowing that Qi Xuan beat the princess, but as your subordinate, Minister Qi was beaten by the madam, you must not be unaware of it, right?"
"You tyrant are so cruel! Minister Qi was so afraid of being humiliated that he kept holding it in. And yet you turned around and told all the civil and military officials. How will he face these people in the future?"
emperor:"……"
After interrogating Minister Qi, if he has no fault in his official duties, I will dismiss him and will not give him another chance to face these ministers.
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone began to whisper.
"Silence." Eunuch Cao frowned and interrupted their discussion.
"Your Majesty," Prime Minister Li stepped forward, "Qi Xuan assaulted the princess. This is a slap in the face of the royal family. Your Majesty is wise. Such a person who commits treason is unforgivable."
Lord Qin also echoed.
Seeing this, Shen Huai didn't dare to speak again.
Sometimes he would see injuries on Minister Qi's face when he reported for duty, but Minister Qi was not a likable person, so they were too lazy to ask even if they saw it.
I didn't expect that he was beaten by his own wife. It's also rare.
"After I leave court, I will order someone to interrogate Minister Qi. As for the matter of Qi Xuan, I have made up my mind. The one who was beaten was my daughter, so of course you are talking without any regrets. If I hear any of you object again, I will drag his daughter out and beat her up too."
I strongly support dragging Chen Huai's daughter out and giving her a beating. That way, Chen Huai won't be in the mood to bark anymore.
The emperor stood up after saying this.
"Your Majesty, the matter of selecting a concubine."
Shen Huai remembered this and spoke quickly.
His daughter is now unmarried. Not only does the emperor not have a queen, but the position of one of the four concubines is also vacant. If his daughter works hard, she might be able to get a position as one of the four concubines.
[Oh, so he's planning to send his daughter to the palace. What a good plan.]
[But the tyrant is really stupid. These ministers like to find trouble for you, so you find trouble for them too, and everyone hurts each other.]
[This way, no one will have time to bother you, and you can also filter out some good-for-nothings.]
The emperor's eyes lit up. Luo'er still had an idea.
Having made up his mind, the emperor still wanted to say a few words to Chen Huai.
"You guys really have been eating too much free food. I don't choose concubines, so I choose concubines. If I choose concubines and favor them, will you accuse me of being greedy for women and neglecting state affairs?"
These people have something to say about what to do. Other ministers are there to help the emperor solve problems, but his ministers only make things worse.
Luo'er is right, these people are just good-for-nothings.
With some exceptions.
[The King of Yueqing's dog has run into a gun!]
Yu Yiluo waved her little hands.
Seeing Shen Huai being scolded, everyone else was glad that they didn't say anything.
"Why are you not talking anymore?" The emperor stared at Chen Huai. "You asked me to choose a concubine simply because you have a daughter who is suitable. Why don't you let me choose a queen?"
"They're not stupid. If you were to establish a queen, you would definitely choose from Consort Shu and Consort De. As for mother, I'm her only daughter, so they won't worry."
[There is no benefit for them in establishing a queen, so naturally they won't bring it up.]
The emperor felt refreshed after his retort and looked at Eunuch Cao, "After the morning court session, pick a woman and send her to Lord Shen."
[Hahaha, the tyrant really knows how to play games, and he's really good at using tit-for-tat tactics.]
Without waiting for Chen Huai to speak, the emperor directly carried Yu Yiluo away.
"Withdraw from the court——"
The ministers left the hall one after another. Someone walked up to Shen Huai and said with a smile: "Master Shen is very lucky. The emperor personally sent a beauty."
Lucky? Shen Huai doesn't think so.
Naturally, he didn't dare to deal with the person sent by the emperor casually. This was not a beauty sent to him, but an informant, or a big Buddha.
…
The emperor returned to the imperial study and ordered someone to go to the Dali Temple.
He wanted to see what the famous scene Luo'er was talking about was.
The group went to the Dali Temple. Because the Dali Temple Minister had taken leave, the matter was handed over to Yang Wen to handle.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the Emperor."
Yang Wen seems full of energy. It seems Yang Xin has accepted the fact that her fiancé is married to someone else.
The emperor asked him to stand up and said, "You are to interrogate Minister Qi immediately."
[Ah, Minister Qi is about to be interrogated. I'm looking forward to it.]
Yang Wen ordered someone to bring Minister Qi over, and he took the emperor to the interrogation room.
Soon, Minister Qi was brought over and tied up.
"Your Majesty, the person has been brought here."
The emperor signaled Yang Wen to begin.
"Qian, you are aware of everything your son and his wife did to the Fifth Princess."
Qi An shook his head honestly and said seriously, "I don't know."
[How could a hardworking worker who was busy working overtime and had to spend time with his mistress after work know about this?]
[All I need to get back to Qi's mother is a divorce letter.]
Yang Wen raised an eyebrow, "How could he not know about this when we live under the same roof?"
"I live in the study and have no business in the backyard. The woman who beat me is in charge of the backyard."
