Chapter 16
The most important thing is, because you don’t give her meat, we have to take drugs every day! Where is your conscience, Wei Taifu!!!
Wei Taifu:...
No, you didn’t really believe her lies, did you? She eats beans just because she likes to eat them!
When she had meat before, she also ate beans!!!
However, seeing that Emperor Mingde and the ministers looked like they were going to kill someone, Wei Taifu still admitted it.
Oh, forget it, let’s ask the kitchen to buy meat when we go back today! Anyway,
I have done what I should do, and if something like this happens again, I can’t blame him. After all, their eyes are murderous!
Finally, the fart smell was gone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Emperor Mingde ordered everyone to stand up.
Prime Minister Li stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think that now that the national treasury is well-stocked, we should immediately allocate the much-needed disaster relief funds to help the people in the south who are suffering."
Emperor Mingde nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. In this case, I will order you to be fully responsible for this matter and make sure that the disaster relief funds are delivered to the victims as soon as possible!" Prime
Minister Li responded solemnly, "As you wish!!"
"Your Majesty, after an overnight interrogation by the Imperial City Division last night, Grand Tutor Jiang has confessed everything. Presented here is the evidence of his collusion with Northern Frontier, as well as his handwritten confession. It records in detail the confidential intelligence he had previously leaked to Northern Frontier, as well as the list of officials he had bribed and the specific amounts. Please review it, Your Majesty."
Lord Song of the Imperial City Division submitted a detailed memorial, and Eunuch Cao immediately took it and presented it to Emperor Mingde.
After all, the voices of Wei Yinuo and the system yesterday only revealed some of the officials who accepted bribes from Grand Tutor Jiang, and did not fully reveal the details of Grand Tutor Jiang's collusion with Northern Frontier.
Now Emperor Mingde looked at the memorial submitted by the Imperial City Division, his brows furrowed, and he clenched his fists again!
These people are so brave!
Since the founding of Northern Zhao, there have been constant invasions by foreign enemies and constant wars. Since I ascended the throne, I have worked hard to govern the country. The soldiers of Northern Zhao have gone on many expeditions and finally wiped out the enemy. Northern Zhao is now able to enjoy peace.
Despite this, I have always worked diligently .
Now that this evidence has been presented, the ministers who originally held a lucky mentality can no longer bear it. They kneel down on the ground again with a "thump" and beg for mercy!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was bewildered for a moment and blinded by greed. I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"
Especially Lord Wang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. After learning about what Grand Tutor Jiang did through the narration of the "Guaguale" group yesterday, he regretted it so much. Now he only asks the emperor to show mercy...
Looking at the ministers kneeling below, Emperor Mingde took a deep breath!
Although he hated officials who secretly gave and received money, formed cliques for personal gain, and even enriched themselves and accepted bribes.
But he was not that cruel emperor. Once discovered, they would all be executed.
After all, there were quite a lot of people involved this time. If they were all dealt with, it would have a great impact on the entire court.
Fortunately, most of these people only accepted some benefits from Grand Tutor Jiang, and were not involved in the affairs of Grand Tutor Jiang and Northern Frontier, so they were not unforgivable.
However, in order to prevent such things from happening again in the future, Emperor Mingde decided to select a few people to make an example of them.
Grand Tutor Jiang, needless to say, committed the heinous crime of exterminating nine clans!
As Grand Tutor Jiang's lackey, Lord Wang was naturally not immune. Emperor Mingde directly dismissed him from his post, and at the same time, he was caned 100 times and immediately exiled to the frontier.
In addition, Emperor Mingde severely punished two other officials who accepted the most bribes and performed the most actively in this matter of establishing the crown prince.
As for other people, Emperor Mingde gave them a chance to reform, but confiscated all the bribes they had received before. However, if they commit the same offense again, they will be severely punished!
As for Concubine Hui, she colluded with foreign officials in private and interfered with the establishment of the crown prince. This was a serious crime, but Emperor Mingde only demoted her to Zhaoyi for the sake of the eldest prince, which was considered a leniency.
The most pitiful one is the eldest prince. Originally, he was indeed a favorable candidate for the prince, but Concubine Hui did something bad with good intentions. Although Emperor Mingde did not punish him, this incident undoubtedly affected his future. Alas
, I can only say that it is his bad luck to have to deal with a mother who doesn't understand the situation!
Just when everyone bowed their heads because of this matter and the whole court was silent, suddenly a voice rang out again.
Wei Yinuo: [Um, by the way, system, who was the person who just called me "little fat man" outside the palace gate? ]
System: [Oh, him, he is the Minister of Rites, Lord Lu. ]
Wei Yinuo: [Minister of Rites? No way, as the Minister of Rites, how can he laugh at a little girl so blatantly? So angry! So system, what's wrong with him? ]
Lord Lu: Is this little Lord Wei so vengeful? So, why am I so mean that I have to provoke her! !
System: [Let me see! ]
[Hey! There really is! And it's a huge melon! 】
The system's voice became excited!
Wei Yinuo: [Really? What is it? What is it? Tongzi, tell me quickly! ]
Emperor Mingde and the ministers immediately became interested and pricked up their ears!
However, in order to prevent Wei Yinuo from discovering that they were eavesdropping, they deliberately continued to talk about the affairs of the court, but their voices were unconsciously lowered.
System: [Hahaha, do you know? This Lord Lu has a very special hobby, he actually likes to play with eggs! ]
Wei Yinuo asked curiously: [Like salted eggs? There's nothing special about that! Isn't it normal to like to eat salted eggs? I like to eat salted eggs too! ]
The ministers were also very confused about the system's answer.
How can eating salted eggs be considered a special hobby?
Only Lord Lu was extremely worried at this moment: Could this Tongzi really know what he had done?
The system began to say: [How can this be the same! This egg stroking is not that salted egg! It is stroking, stroking, stroking! ]
Wei Yinuo: [Rubbing, stroking, stroking? Shit~ Tongzi, please tell me more? Could it be what I understood? Why do I feel a little bit excited? ]
