Chapter 249 Receive the imperial edict
"Your Majesty, the snake belongs to Minister Lu, and our Zhicheng is innocent!" The prime minister's wife wanted to say something, but was suddenly scolded by the prime minister.
"Okay, shut up, our Zhicheng has indeed bullied the young master, he is ignorant, and you should not follow suit." The prime minister scolded his wife.
"My husband!" The prime minister's wife stared at her husband: Didn't they agree at home? She was a woman who made trouble. Although the emperor was violent, he had always been tolerant of their family. He didn't like them, but he had never criticized them too much.
"Come on, take Minister Lu away first and investigate all the people in the Lu family." Xiao Yin said coldly.
The Imperial Guards personally went out and dragged away Minister Lu. At the same time, a team went straight out of the palace and headed for Minister Lu's house.
Previously, countless gold, silver and jewelry were seized from the home of the Minister of Personnel. Now, the home of the Minister of Revenue was also seized, and the people nodded in approval.
"This is what we mean when evil deeds are bound to be investigated. Why did the Ministry of Personnel investigate, but the Ministry of Revenue only arrested a small subordinate and left the Minister alone?"
"The Minister of Revenue neglected his duty and even let his own son use a poisonous snake to injure the sons of the Prime Minister and the Vice Minister. This is simply insane!"
"I heard that the poisonous snake came from the Western Regions. A second-rank official appointed by the court is so closely connected with the Western Regions. They should all be arrested and investigated!"
The people have long hated these corrupt officials.
However, the new emperor has been on the throne for three years, and a group of them have been purged. These people have shrank their necks and dared not to be too ostentatious. The new emperor also wanted to rectify the messy court system, so it was not easy to kill them all. So he tolerated them a little, hoping that they could mend their ways.
"Humph, in your eyes, is my tolerance tolerance, tolerating your wrongdoings?" Xiao Yin looked coldly at the prime minister and his wife who were still kneeling, and said: "Come here, revoke the title of the third-rank imperial lady from the prime minister's wife. As for the prime minister, you should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors first. Without my permission, you are not allowed to interfere in court affairs!"
"Your Majesty!" The prime minister looked at the emperor, wanting to cry but unable to.
Since the emperor attacked him in the court half a year ago and embarrassed him in public, he knew that it was over, everything was over.
That's why he urged Shangguan Jinghong to quickly deal with the princess and the emperor outside the imperial city.
In this way, the Wei Kingdom will cause internal turmoil, and they can seize the opportunity to seize the power of the Wei Kingdom, or...
The prime minister thinks that he is still too kind and not cruel enough!
Otherwise, Xiao Yin, who had been fighting outside in the past, had no power in the court at all, and it would be impossible for him to sit on the throne so steadily.
"Queen, confinement in the central palace!" An imperial decree was issued, and the queen did not react at all.
She knew this would be the result.
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Qi looked at the emperor. She had been standing outside the study for a long time. The emperor's edicts were like life-threatening orders, which made people tremble with fear. In the end, the emperor looked at her and his son, which made her heart beat fast.
"Concubine Qi is named the noble concubine of Qi, and the second prince Xiao Yuheng is named the prince Heng, the prince of Qizhu!" Xiao Yin said in a clear and deep voice.
"Uh... father!" Xiao Yuheng didn't understand yet. His back hurt so much. His mother was really cruel. She whipped his back until it bled. He thought his father would punish him. He didn't know that he would suddenly become a prince.
Concubine Qi was also a little surprised. Logically, her family background was not good, and her father was just a garrison general on the border. He had no connection with the court, let alone being able to assist His Majesty.
Therefore, in this harem, she only hoped to be able to live well and raise her son well. As for her son's future, it all depends on him. As long as he is not calculated or hurt by others, it will be fine.
"Your Highness, please accept the order. And His Royal Highness, why don't you thank him quickly!" Eunuch Gao looked at the couple, he smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and said.
Eunuch Gao also likes these two. Concubine Qi is a generous person. Although she has a bad temper, she never criticizes the palace maids and eunuchs for no reason. She is much more lenient in Qionghua Palace than in other palaces.
"Father, you won't punish me?" Xiao Yuheng raised his head and blinked at his father, thinking it was a bit incredible.
"If you want me to punish you, it's not impossible!" Xiao Yin looked at his biological son with disgust and said.
"My second cousin, he is really stupid. My uncle has always been protective of his shortcomings. He will not put on a show for others to see, nor will he talk about face. Why doesn't this guy understand? He is so stupid!" Baby Ruoxi was also a little speechless when looking at the silly second cousin.
Uncle is so ruthless, isn't it just to protect his own son? Why is this boy so stupid!
Dongju went to Fushou Palace, and soon left the palace with Hongmei.
That night, there were whispers in the restaurants and bars in the streets and alleys.
"The prime minister and the emperor have known each other for a long time, how could he not know that His Majesty is very protective of his shortcomings!"
"That's right, it was originally the son of Minister Lu who brought a poisonous snake to the academy, which is already a big taboo. Besides, the little princess is so doted on now, so how can the status of the little prince be bad? I don't know how these families educate their children!"
"I just don't understand, he is already the prime minister, why is he still unwilling? Could it be that he..."
Some words may not be thought of by anyone when no one mentions them.
But once someone says it, everything becomes clear.
This prime minister is looking for death!
In the Fushou Palace at night, Xiao Yin and Xiao Yue, brother and sister, as well as Concubine Qi and Xiao Yuheng were all there.
"In the final analysis, I trusted them too much!" The Queen Mother held Xiao Ruilin in her arms and said, "Lin'er has suffered so much, and when he went to the academy, he was still teased and persecuted by those little bastards. These people don't take me and the royal family seriously!"
"It's my son's fault. Mother, don't be angry anymore. I have punished them all." Xiao Yin coaxed the Queen
Mother. "Grandmother, don't worry, I beat those guys out of their coma. Those beasts dared to use poisonous snakes to deal with Lin'er. They are not thinking about it well." Xiao Yuheng said. Concubine
Qi held Xiao Xier in her arms. She liked daughters and wished that she and His Majesty the Emperor would also have a daughter.
"Heng'er, don't be so reckless all the time, like a child who has never grown up." Concubine Qi gently scolded Xiao Heng.
