Chapter 98
Wei Yinuo couldn't help laughing crazily in his heart: [Hahahaha!]
[So that's how it is!]
[But I have to say, this Prince Jing is really good-looking.]
[And I think rather than saying that Prince Jing is afraid, it's better to say that he respects and loves Princess Jing.
Otherwise, with his status and position, how could he allow Princess Jing to do this.]
After hearing the praise from the system and Wei Yinuo, Prince Jing felt better, and even his originally drooping
back straightened a little.
To say that his appearance is really nothing to say.
And Master Wei really understands him.
The reason why he turned a deaf ear to what Princess Jing did
was because he really loved Princess Jing deeply.
In those days, countless girls in the capital were obsessed with him. He has always been in love with only Princess Jing.
Although his mother secretly decided to give him two concubines for the prosperity of the palace, his heart has always been with Princess Jing and has never changed.
Moreover, Princess Jing gave birth to two sons and a daughter for him, and even nearly lost her life during childbirth, so he has more sympathy for Princess Jing.
On weekdays, as long as the affairs in the palace do not hurt the foundation, the princess is basically the one who makes the decision.
Secondly, because he is born afraid of trouble and is too lazy to worry about such things.
At this time, Eunuch Cao came to inform the ministers to attend the morning court. When he
arrived at the court, Wei Yinuo was still talking to Xiao Xi about the affairs of Prince Jing and Princess Jing.
The ministers listened with joy.
But Emperor Mingde and several princes were confused after hearing what they heard.
What's going on?
What happened to Prince Jing and Princess Jing?
Did you just eat some big melon outside without our knowledge?
So can't you wait until the court to eat it?
What should we do? It
's so uncomfortable not to eat the melon!
Looking at the unhappy expression of Emperor Mingde, Eunuch Cao didn't know what to say.
You are the king of a country
after all, right? You used to be expressionless.
Why do you have this expression now because you ate less melon?
Not really, really not really.
But seeing that Emperor Mingde was still in a trance, he hurriedly reminded him softly.
"Your Majesty, the morning court has begun!"
Emperor Mingde finally came to his senses and officially entered today's morning court.
Several princes also immediately came back to their senses from their desire to gossip and listened carefully to the ministers' reports.
Only the fifth prince kept his head down, his face dark, and didn't say a word.
Don't ask him why!
The answer is that he didn't eat enough!
Hungry!
So hungry!
Too hungry!
I want to cry!!!
~~~~
It turned out that Eunuch Cao had brought the weight loss recipe tailored for the fifth prince last night.
So when the fifth prince woke up early this morning, the weight loss meal was placed in front of him.
The fifth prince was so angry that his face turned green!
He ate it reluctantly, but was only half full.
So at this moment, like Wei Yinuo, the fifth prince was still hungry.
At this moment, he really wanted to curse!
But he didn't dare to scold Emperor Mingde.
In the end, he took out his anger on Eunuch Cao. You are my father's bootlicker!
I never saw you so active on weekdays! My father asked you to take care of that diet meal that Wang Taiyi wanted. But he didn't ask you to get it so quickly! Can't you send it a few days later? ! He really wasn't mentally prepared at all! If he had known this, he would have eaten more last night! When he thought about the half bowl of meat left over last night and given to the servants, the fifth prince felt pain in his heart! ~~~ The ministers in the court first discussed the matter of Master Shikong of Huguo Temple today. Lord Song took out a memorial and handed it to Eunuch Cao, who took it and presented it directly to Emperor Mingde. "Your Majesty, after careful searches and interrogations by the Imperial City Bureau in the past few days, I have found the private vault of Master Shikong in the back mountain of Huguo Temple, where a large amount of property is stored. After interrogation by the Imperial City Bureau, Master Shikong has confessed that all the property was obtained by stealing and selling the treasures in Huguo Temple and embezzling the incense money from Huguo Temple over the years." "Not only that, there are also Buddha statues and other properties that he stole but did not have time to sell." "Currently, all the property has been registered and placed in the national treasury. The list has been attached to the back of the memorial. Please take a look." "In addition, I found more than ten buried corpses in the back mountain of Huguo Temple. After careful investigation, I found that some of them were the bodies of young monks in Huguo Temple, as well as several young women." "Shikong has confessed that those young monks were killed by him after they discovered the secret that he had stolen the property of Huguo Temple." "As for the young women, they were all defiled after being drugged by Master Shikong." "But because the dosage was too strong, the women never woke up again." The Imperial City Bureau is extremely efficient. Although the court has been closed these days, they have not been idle for a single day.
After the court session that day, Commander Song immediately sent people to completely seal off the Huguo Temple.
He personally led people to investigate.
Sure enough, just as the system said, almost all the valuable things in the entire Huguo Temple had been emptied by Master Shikong.
The belly of the big Buddha statue originally stored a large number of treasures, but now it is empty.
The other small Buddha statues have also been replaced by Master Shikong.
Those originally priceless treasures are now just some worthless imitations.
Fortunately, following the clues provided by the system, they quickly found Master Shikong's private vault.
The gold, silver and jewelry piled up inside are simply shocking!
Although the system had previously roughly stated that the amount of money inside was huge, Commander Song had already been mentally prepared, but as far as the eye could see, it was all piled up like a mountain of gold and silver, which was really shocking!
Even Emperor Mingde was shocked again when he saw the contents of these memorials!
"Your Majesty, I have ordered people to thoroughly check all the temples in Beizhao these days, and we have also gained a lot."
"Some abbots rely on their status to cover the sky with one hand in the temples, and wantonly take the property in the temples for themselves!"
"However, due to time constraints, we have only searched the temples in and around the capital."
"But even with these, the number is already jaw-dropping!"
"This is a list of the property stolen by the abbots from the temples. Please take a look first, Your Majesty."
Li Chengxiang also handed over a memorial.
