Li Hugua was so nervous that he was sweating all over.
Last night, he and others finished their shift and were on their way home from the yamen when they met someone on the way.
He appeared here because of that person.
Seeing Li Hugua hesitating and being so nervous that he couldn't speak, Censor Lin became anxious.
He found Li Hugua based on the information provided by the informant.
In the letter he wrote to him, the informant vowed that as long as he brought the witness before His Majesty, he would be able to expose Tao Zhihong's immoral behavior.
"Li Hugua, as an officer in the Ministry of Justice, just tell me what you have to say. Don't be afraid. His Majesty will support you if anything goes wrong."
Just when Censor Lin was getting a little anxious, Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen stepped forward to help him.
Li Hugua finally mustered up the courage, knelt on the ground, pressed his hands to the ground, and whispered in a low voice, not daring to raise his head: "Your Majesty, I live in Liushu Hutong. Some time ago, my family suddenly ran out of food. My old mother was anxious to cook, so I went out to our neighbor, Master Qingfeng, to borrow some rice for the emergency. Who would have thought that I would encounter such an unbearable scene..."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang looked at Tao Zhihong with an unfathomable look.
Minister of Rites Gao Huaizhen stepped out again and sighed regretfully, "I believe this young man Li must have witnessed the Great General and his neighbor, Young Master Qingfeng, mingling together."
"General Tao, you really shouldn't have done such a dissolute thing, and even made a scene before His Majesty in the Golden Palace!"
"General Tao, as a pillar of the country, you actually did such a dissolute thing and even made a scene in front of His Majesty in the Golden Palace. It is really heartbreaking." Gao Huaizhen, the Minister of Rites, one of the six ministries, is over sixty years old with gray hair. He looks like an elegant old man. He is worried about the lack of virtue of the country's most trusted ministers.
Censor Lin turned his head to look at the kneeling figure and took the opportunity to remind him, "Mr. Li, please tell us in detail what you saw in Master Qingfeng's house."
Li Hugua tried hard to calm his trembling heart and whispered, "I saw Master Tao and Master Qingfeng sleeping together that day."
After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang closed his majestic eyes in disappointment.
"Lord Tao, you disappoint me so much."
This is his most trusted minister. If it happened to someone else, his personal moral flaws might not be a big deal, but not for Lord Tao.
He is a great general who protects the country. If his hobby of keeping male favorites gets out, it will shake the morale of the army.
How could the soldiers in the camp outside the capital accept and trust a general who loves to keep male favorites to lead them?
