Chapter 2 Scumbag Sun Minghao
Li Zhengda didn't know whether the previous story was true or not, but if what 011 said was true, then the wife Sun Minghao married later was his daughter. He wanted to hear what was going on!
Other officials, including Emperor Wu An, who was sitting on the dragon throne, couldn't help but lean towards Shen Shixu, wanting to hear more clearly.
When Shen Shixu heard this, he urged 011 to say quickly, "Xiaoyi, tell me more." 】
011 prepared his words and continued: [The wife that Sun Minghao later married was the result of his painstaking efforts. The girl’s father was the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and helped him a lot in his official career.
After Sun Minghao arrived in the capital, he couldn't find a place to live, so he had to stay overnight at Guangci Temple in the suburbs of Beijing.
Minister Li's mother, Old Lady Li, liked to worship Buddha and make incense money, and she often went to the temple to burn incense. Li Shiyu, the daughter of Minister Li, always accompanies her grandmother out of filial piety. Then she was seen by Sun Minghao during a incense-burning ceremony.
He saw that Miss Li was surrounded by maids and servants, and guessed that she came from a wealthy family, so he asked others.
It was no secret in the capital that Old Lady Li liked to burn incense. Many people knew about it, so Sun Minghao found out easily.
After knowing that the girl was the minister's daughter, he started to have ideas.
He bribed a young monk in Guangci Temple with money and asked him about the day when Minister Li's mother burned incense. After finding out the details, he secretly followed the old lady Li when she burned incense.
Not to mention that this scumbag has a bad character, his luck is pretty good, and he actually got a chance to show off.
Old Lady Li brought her four-year-old great-grandson out that day. The child was very active and when he saw that it was quite lively outside the temple, he insisted on staying to watch.
Li Shiyu loved her little nephew so much that she volunteered to stay and take care of him. However, the child was naughty and actually shook Li Shiyu off and ran away.
Seeing this, Sun Minghao hurriedly followed and took the child back by coaxing and scaring him. When she returned, Li Shiyu was so scared that she started crying. While comforting her granddaughter who felt guilty, Old Lady Li arranged for people to look for her.
When she saw Sun Minghao sending the child back, she thanked him profusely. It was at that time that Li Shiyu had an impression of Sun Minghao. 】
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengda almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his colleagues behind him helped him up. Everyone looked at his frightened expression and realized that what the system said was true.
Li Zhengda didn’t believe what 011 said before, but only his family knew that his grandson almost went missing, not even his close friends knew about it.
Not to mention Shen Shixu, who came to Beijing for the first time. Since these are true, then the things mentioned earlier about Sun Minghao abandoning his wife and children and leaving his mother behind are also true!
Li Zhengda felt a surge of anger in his heart and wanted to go back immediately to let his daughter divorce Sun Minghao. How could such a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children and treated the mother who raised him well be kind to his daughter?
Emotionally, he wanted to get rid of Sun Minghao as soon as possible, but his reason told him that he was still in the court, and he wanted to hear what else Sun Minghao had done.
[Sun Minghao has left an impression on the Li family. Although he has a bad character, he has good knowledge. In addition, the test questions three years ago were in his favor as they were about people's livelihood. As a person from a poor family, he naturally understood it. It just so happened that he got the top score.
When the horse-drawn parade was held, Li Shiyu was watching the number one scholar with her friend. She was surprised for a moment when she saw that the number one scholar was the young man who had saved her nephew earlier.
It just so happened that during that time, Minister Li's wife was looking for a man for Li Shiyu. Minister Li had only one daughter, so in addition to considering the man's family background and character, he also wanted to see whether Li Shiyu liked him.
Li Shiyu had a good impression of the man who saved his little nephew. In addition, Sun Minghao had now become the top scholar, so he had a promising future. Therefore, he revealed to Minister Li that he had a crush on Sun Minghao.
Sun Minghao was very good at disguising himself. When Minister Li asked his son to express his gratitude, he directly returned the gift, saying that he had only helped to the best of his ability and could not accept such an expensive gift.
This gave Minister Li a good impression of him, and he felt that he was not a person who would repay a favor. So when Li Shiyu said she had a crush on him, he agreed.
However, he didn't know that he was inviting a wolf into the house. Minister Li had been supporting him in his official career ever since his daughter married Sun Minghao, allowing his career to go very smoothly.
But Sun Minghao was not satisfied and wanted to go further, so he secretly contacted Minister Li's enemy. The Minister of Revenue wanted to retire and return to his hometown, and was examining two of his assistants. Assistant Minister Liu wanted to frame Assistant Minister Li for corruption and bribery, so he gave the money he had obtained through corruption and bribery and the forged account books to Sun Minghao, and promised him a position as a chief clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, and asked him to work in the storehouse of Assistant Minister Li's mansion. So that Minister Li would be brought to disgrace and he could ascend to the position of Minister of Revenue.
It seems like today is the day when Sun Minghao secretly placed the bribes and account books! 】
After listening to what 011 said, Li Zhengda looked angrily at Liu Fen on his left. He never expected that his colleague, who usually kept a low profile, actually had such a vicious mind.
Liu Fen was still laughing at Li Zhengda's joke, but he didn't expect that the system would also explain what he had done. At this moment, he did not even dare to look up at Emperor Wu An's expression. His whole body was shaking like a sieve. His corruption, bribery and framing of others were now known to everyone. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but was covered by Li Zhengda.
Emperor Wu An originally thought that he was just eating a melon from his ministers, but he didn't expect that this melon could help him get rid of a parasite in the court. This made Emperor Wu An look at Shen Shixu as if he was looking at a treasure.
The other civil and military officials looked at Shen Shixu with complicated expressions. They were envious of his ability to eat melons through the system, and they were also very happy to be able to eat melons together.
There's no guarantee that the melon will be eaten by themselves one day. Each of them has some secrets, more or less. Once the melon is eaten by themselves, the whole court will know about it.
It's okay to have an unknown habit, it will only make people laugh at it. If they were pointed out such an important thing as Liu Fen, their careers would be over, and even the lives of their families would be in danger.
Before these ministers could think clearly, Emperor Wu An gave a look to his trusted eunuch Quan Xi. Quan Xi grew up with Emperor Wu An and even went to the battlefield. He also saved Emperor Wu An's life on the battlefield and was one of the people Emperor Wu An trusted.
"If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court."
The ministers understood that the emperor was going to drive them away, so they saluted to Emperor Wu An's departing back before leaving.
After the court session, Li Zhengda immediately rushed home. The other ministers knew what he was in such a hurry to do, and most of them followed him, wanting to join in the fun.
Shen Shixu looked at the backs of those ministers who were leaving in a hurry, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, [Tsk, no matter what time or what kind of people, everyone is happy when it's time to get off work! 】
