Chu Di said calmly, "I watched a play early in the morning, and it touched my heart. I am rewarding Magistrate Sun."
Magistrate Sun was terrified.
They are all going to be fired, is this still a reward?
Oh my God!
He turned around and slapped Sun Yuxue in the face, "You rebellious girl, what have you done? Why don't you kowtow to the regent and apologize!"
Sun Yuxue covered her face with her hands, tears of grievance falling down her cheeks.
This was the first time her father had hit her since she was a child.
But she didn't do anything wrong!
She saw the Regent and Xie Wanyue arguing and wanted to take advantage of the situation. What did she do wrong?
"Father, I don't know where I went wrong. Maybe... the Regent is dissatisfied with Miss Xie and is taking his anger out on us."
right!
It must be so.
She figured it out instantly.
The Regent saw Xie Wanyue with her cousin with his own eyes. He was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger on Xie Wanyue, so he blamed them.
"When did this prince become dissatisfied with Miss Xie?"
"Last night, Xue'er saw you arguing with her own eyes..."
"Oh? Miss Sun, at such a young age, you're actually snooping into my private affairs?"
"I……"
Chu Dichi looked at her coldly, "When did this prince and Miss Xie have an argument?"
Looking at Chu Li: "Did we have a fight?"
Chu Li met his gaze, and when their eyes met, there was a flash of information in her eyes that only the two of them understood. It was a unique tacit understanding formed by living together and experiencing ups and downs together.
Even if there is a quarrel or a small conflict, it is not the turn of an outsider to interfere.
This is the sense of security that Chu Dichi gives to Chu Li.
No matter when or where, no matter whether he was happy or sad, he could always control his emotions and would not do anything to let her down.
Chu Li gathered the hair around her ears:
"No."
They never quarrel.
The occasional ups and downs are not something that an outsider like Sun Yuxue can comment on.
After going through the vicissitudes of life, true feelings have been formed. Can they be negated by a small quarrel?
Sun Yuxue is too young after all.
He seriously underestimated Chu Dichi's love for Chu Li, and also underestimated Chu Li's trust in Chu Dichi.
"Miss Sun, you must have understood. Miss Xie and I have never quarreled and have always been on good terms. But you have been stirring up trouble behind my back and disrupting my official duties. You are so ignorant of the rules and have no sense of propriety. If a daughter is not taught well, it is the fault of her father."
Chu Di said slowly:
"Come here, immediately dismiss Magistrate Sun from his post and investigate him. No mistakes!"
Magistrate Sun was shocked and sat down on the ground dejectedly.
It’s over!
His life's work, future, family business, and decades of hard work were all wasted.
Sun Yuxue was completely frightened.
Why?
Why is it so serious?
What she did was not a crime, nor did it cause any trouble, so why was she punished so severely?
"Rebellious girl!"
"You are a rebellious girl who ruins the family!" Magistrate Sun slapped her in the face, wishing he could kill her with a shovel in her ear, but it was still difficult to relieve the anger in his heart.
Sun Yuxue covered her face and cried:
"Daddy, I am innocent. I did nothing wrong. I am really innocent!"
Thank you Wanyue!
It must have been Xie Wanyue who instigated it!
Her eyes were red with anger and she was about to rush towards Chu Li. Jingying and Chongfeng stepped forward quickly, captured the father and daughter, and took them away by force.
“It’s unfair! Let me go… I’m innocent…”
The sound faded away.
Chu Li rubbed his earlobe, his reaction was unusually calm, as if he suddenly remembered something, and looked at Liu Shengnan next to him:
"You just said you wanted to marry me, how much dowry did you give?"
Liu Shengnan's legs went limp and she couldn't stand anymore:
"Thank you, thank you Miss, I dare not! It was... it was Sun Yuxue who asked me to come! She said that your parents had both passed away and you were all alone and helpless, so pitiful. She asked me to come and comfort you. It was all Sun Yuxue who instigated me!"
Oh my God!
My uncle has been dismissed from his post and is under investigation, so please don't implicate him.
What is this!
If he had known this earlier, he would not have coveted this beauty.
It’s all Sun Yuxue’s fault!
Chu Li looked at him: "If you don't want to marry me, then what are you doing here?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, get out, I'll get out right now!"
Get out of here now.
Get up and roll.
Roll quickly.
Liu Shengnan fled in panic.
Chu Dichi glanced away with cold eyes, and after a moment, he retracted his gaze and walked towards Chu Li.
However, when their eyes met, they were speechless for a moment.
The air between the two of them was somewhat quiet.
Chu Li pinched her fingertips for a long while before speaking hesitantly: "Last night..."
"Since you care about me so much, I won't bother with you and let's just forget about what happened last night." Chu Di said slowly.
"hold head high?"
"I spent the whole night in the study reading military books. I've had dinner and covered myself with a blanket. I didn't catch a cold and slept well. You can rest assured."
Chu Li pursed her lips. She wasn't really angry with him. It was just that she had forgotten a piece of memory, which made her feel depressed and uneasy.
Staying here won't help much.
"I'm ready to go back to the capital."
Chu Dichi stepped forward and asked, "You want to go back?"
"The people below have already found out that the person who assassinated me that night was sent by Princess Minghua. She has bad intentions. My eighth brother is alone in the capital, and I'm worried that he can't handle it."
"You left, what about me?"
"The war won't end anytime soon. You stay here to take charge of the situation. I'll go back to help my eighth brother, so that no one can take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble in the court."
Is she going to abandon him?
good.
good.
"Go back, don't worry about my life or death."
"Goodbye."
"?"
He kicked the flowerpot up into the sky!
-
"It's not that I can't approve it, it's that your request is too much!"
Bang!
In the imperial study, there was a crisp sound, and Chu Aotian threw the memorial on the table. He looked at the officials kneeling on the ground and pointed angrily:
"With the war going on and the national treasury in deficit, how can I get three hundred thousand taels of silver for you?"
Lu Zuoxiang knelt at the head, lowered his head slightly, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and said:
"Your Majesty, this is something we need urgently. With the war approaching, we urgently need to spend money to support the families of the soldiers who died in the war. Only by showing the sincerity of the Great Chu will thousands of good men be willing to join the army and go to the battlefield to defend their country."
Chu Aotian said angrily:
"The treasury is in deficit. Can I give you some silver?"
"This is the Emperor's business."
"you!"
"The treasury is in deficit. Your Majesty can think of a solution. I only know that if you don't comfort the families of the fallen soldiers, I'm afraid the people will have objections to you!"
Next to him, another official cupped his hands and said, "To purchase medicines and to supply the front lines, we need 100,000 taels of silver. Please approve it, Your Majesty."
Another official:
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War needs two hundred thousand taels of silver..."
Batch, batch, batch.
Can he jump onto the tree and pick the leaves?
So much money, do you really think he can just appear out of thin air?
Chu Aotian overturned the table and refused to do this!
Just kidding.
The emperor's uncle is still on the front line. If he doesn't stabilize the court, the situation will collapse.
He said sullenly, "You all should withdraw. Summon the Minister of Revenue to come and discuss things with him."
"yes."
Everyone knelt down and just as they left the imperial study, Chu Aotian's eyes turned red and he pinched Master Jiang's sleeve and cried, "Teacher, the emperor's uncle is not here, they all bully me!"
"It's the Ministry of Revenue that's in charge of the money, but everyone is putting pressure on me. Don't think I don't know, it's all that Lu Zuoxiang who's behind this!"
