Chapter 73: No Waste of Words, Perfect Solution
Golden Palace.
Civil and military officials dealt with the morning court as a routine.
From their numb expressions, it can be seen that they are as absent-minded as Xiao Junze on the dragon throne.
Xiao Junze hasn't had enough rest recently, so he looks a little depressed.
The ministers also became less enthusiastic.
Imperial Censor Fu Yunheng pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.
In theory, if the people of Shengzhou rode at full speed, they would definitely be able to reach the capital this morning.
Unless something happens on the way and delays the trip.
It seems that the person above is still unaware of what is happening in Shengzhou.
Xiao Junze glanced at the civil and military officials and felt extremely annoyed.
What a bunch of useless people, none of them cares about the theft from the national treasury.
It is said that after these ministers learned that the national treasury had been stolen, the first thing they did when they returned home was to move all the property in their homes.
Humph! You seem to be very concerned about the affairs of your own mansion.
Xiao Junze pinched his slightly painful brow.
Now I can’t think of the word “national treasury”. It gives me a splitting headache when I think of it.
When Chief Steward Ji saw Xiao Junze's unhappy expression, he knew it was time to leave the court.
"If you have something to report, please do not..."
At the same time, a guard's voice was heard outside the Golden Throne Hall: "Your Majesty, urgent news from Shengzhou Prefecture."
The guard bent over, holding a wooden box, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
Yesterday, he received a letter from his master and immediately sent people out of the city to welcome the people from Shengzhou along the official road.
Fortunately, nothing was delayed.
Fortunately, the master woke up and kept the secret for the time being.
After hearing the report from outside, Xiao Junze was stunned for a moment, and then his eyelids twitched.
Isn’t Chu Wenqian in charge of Shengzhou?
Could it be that something big happened in Shengzhou?
This feeling was too familiar, and he subconsciously thought it was some kind of bad premonition.
Thinking of this, he felt annoyed and said in a cold voice, "Show it up!"
Manager Ji frowned, walked hurriedly out of the hall, and took the wooden box from the guard's hands.
Shengzhou?
Could it be that the Queen's cousin has caused trouble?
He did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and went back to the Golden Palace.
Fu Yunheng looked at the wooden box in Manager Ji's hand and couldn't help rubbing his hands.
Get ready quickly. As the Imperial Censor, he also has to impeach Chu Wenqian for his crimes.
Wait a minute, and a "war of words" with the prince's party is inevitable.
With the help of the young eunuch, Manager Ji took out a memorial, a stack of signed confessions, and the joint letter from the people.
Steward Ji trembled as he presented the memorial to Xiao Junze...
Xiao Junze glared at Chief Steward Ji in displeasure, "Read it out in front of all the nobles!"
All the civil and military officials watched all this secretly, and suddenly felt that some people might be in trouble.
Could he be the Queen's cousin?
Chief Steward Ji pursed his lips, slowly opened the memorial, and began to read it in a shrill voice...
After hearing a few words, Xiao Junze was so angry that veins on his forehead started throbbing.
What?
The bandits in Shengzhou tried to rob Xiao Chengjin and his group, but ended up being wiped out by them.
And Chu Wenqian, the prefect of Shengzhou, actually colluded with this group of bandits secretly and even built up momentum for them?
Coincidentally, he was caught red-handed by the former prefect Yun Zhongan.
Xiao Junze was so angry!
It's all a mess.
Without waiting for Chief Steward Ji to finish reading, he snatched the memorial from Chief Steward Ji's hand with a sullen expression...
While he was angry at Chu Wenqian for being a ruthless official, he secretly resented that he couldn't even do anything to a group of exiles.
None of the two groups of assassins sent out returned. Needless to say, they were all killed.
There are also Qin Zhen and a few others who have not succeeded yet.
Xiao Junze quickly read the memorial and immediately threw it to the ground in anger.
When the civil and military officials saw this, they were shocked. The emperor was furious!
They all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
Chu Wenqian actually colluded with bandits. He couldn't be secretly building up power for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in Shengzhou.
Some ministers secretly thought: These bandits are so stupid!
Even if His Royal Highness Prince An was demoted...he should not be underestimated!
Robbing him, you must be tired of living!
Jiang Qinian, the head of all officials, showed a cunning smile from an angle where no one could see.
Fortunately, Yao'er had a small conflict with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and temporarily stopped communicating.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.
The prince's party, in particular, immediately became alert.
Xiao Junze tried his best to suppress the uncontrollable anger in his heart, gritting his teeth and saying, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"
Chu Wenqian secretly amassed wealth, surely it was for the sake of the prince!
He is now in his prime and will never allow anyone to covet his throne.
Humph! Since you insist on bumping into me at this critical moment, don't blame me for ignoring the relationship between you and the Queen.
Xiao Junze read two or three pages of the confession and was stunned when he saw the three words "Book of All Peoples".
Manager Ji observed Xiao Junze's expression and unfolded the Book of All People for him to read.
After Xiao Junze quickly read it, a dark light flashed in his eyes.
The late emperor appeared?
This Jiang Ruo can really cause him trouble.
The Dragon Soul Sword is actually in Xiao Chengjin's hands?
The late emperor really doted on Xiao Chengjin.
Xiao Junze closed his eyes, hiding the resentment in his eyes.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and glanced at the ministers who were hanging their heads, and a plan came to his mind.
Since it is what the people want, he will draft an edict and let Yun Zhongan handle this matter in accordance with the laws of the Dayan Dynasty!
Therefore, Xiao Junze recounted these matters in a businesslike tone and in a stern manner.
No matter what, I must not lose the dignity and demeanor of a wise ruler.
Of course, he simply skipped the matter of the Dragon Soul Sword.
When the civil and military officials saw Xiao Junze's appearance, they knew that Chu Wenqian was finished.
At the beginning, it was because the Queen whispered in the Emperor's ear that Yun Zhongan was demoted to the position of county magistrate for "poor political performance".
For this reason, Chu Wenqian had the opportunity to serve as the prefect of Shengzhou.
Now that this has happened, even if the queen pleads for him, it will be of no avail.
Different times, different circumstances.
Fu Yunheng looked at the current situation and suddenly felt that the lines he had prepared were no longer useful.
He complained in his heart: The people of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's party are too cowardly. When their companions are in trouble, they try to make excuses!
Alas, I can only say that the queen's cousin went too far.
You just want to make money, but you dare to collude with bandits?
The key point is that these bandits dared to rob His Royal Highness Prince An.
Just stupid as hell.
Haha~ No need to waste time, perfect solution!
Before leaving the court, Xiao Junze stated in a very majestic manner that he would comply with the wishes of the people and order the former prefect Yun Zhongan to resume the post of prefect of Shengzhou.
He also issued an oral order, asking the Minister of Personnel, Lord Tang, to recommend a candidate for the county magistrate to be appointed to the county government office where Yun Zhongan was located.
Therefore, after Xiao Junze returned to Chenghe Palace, he got very angry.
What happened in the Golden Palace was quickly reported back to Fengyi Palace and the Eastern Palace.
The Queen and Xiao Mocheng, mother and son, were immediately frightened out of their wits.
At this critical juncture, the mother and son would never dare to beg for mercy.
Lately, things have been going wrong.
Is it time to go to the temple to worship Buddha?
