Chapter 524: Stop pretending, let’s show our cards

"Raising a tiger to cause trouble? Good man?" Luo Jingfeng only heard these two words. He sarcastically said, "In your heart, I am a damned villain. Then why do you keep me? Kill me!"

Jin Cheng lowered his head and whispered, "You are my uncle, the one who loves me the most. I will not kill you."

He has eyes and can see Luo Jingfeng's true heart.

"Ha!" Luo Jingfeng didn't want to listen at all.

Eunuch Huang brought the food over again, but just as he put it down, Luo Jingfeng kicked him over again: "Get out! Get out!"

Eunuch Huang was in a dilemma: "Your Majesty, would you like to eat first?"

Jin Cheng shook his head: "If my uncle doesn't want to eat, I won't eat either. Please go out."

Eunuch Huang showed a worried look, but still obediently withdrew.

Luo Jingfeng was unmoved. He threatened madly: "Do you think I will soften my heart if you do this? Do you think I will still care about you? Liar, it's so boring! It doesn't matter whether you want to eat it or not. At worst, we will die together!"

Luo Jingfeng stopped making trouble.

He refused to eat or drink, and just opened his mouth to ask for death.

The proud Lord Protector of the Country, the sky has fallen, it doesn’t matter to him how or where he dies, it is meaningless anyway.

There was nothing in this world that made him nostalgic.

Jin Cheng sat on the edge of the bed in silence, without arguing.

In the afternoon, Bu Yan came in and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen is already waiting in Yu's study, waiting for you to come over and teach you how to review the memorials."

Jin Cheng raised his eyes and said, "Let Prime Minister Shen go back and rest. Bring the memorial here for me to read."

"Yes." Bu Yan went to do it immediately.

Luo Jingfeng sneered.

He felt that Jin Cheng was too arrogant. Whether he locked him up here or insisted on reading the memorials himself, he was just trying to prove his independence.

A twelve-year-old child, what can he do?

If Luo Jingfeng hadn't been on guard against him, he would never have succeeded!

The memorial was brought over, and Buyan also brought him a small table, neither too big nor too small, and placed it next to the bed.

Jin Cheng was lying quietly on the table, writing and drawing with a pen in hand. After writing a memorial, he looked up and asked, "Uncle, do you want to see how I review the memorial?"

Luo Jingfeng refused directly: "I don't want to."

Jin Cheng said to himself, "The Minister of Justice submitted a memorial to promote someone. I looked at the list and found that many of them were from his faction. If it was Prime Minister Shen who taught me to do things, then I would not approve it. But uncle, guess how I responded?"

Luo Jingfeng didn't guess.

Jin Cheng said: "I have transferred these people away. Now that they are no longer in the Ministry of Justice, it will be difficult for the Minister of Justice to intervene. I will not only curb their faction, but also let them slowly disintegrate."

Luo turned around in surprise, with a more inquiring look in his eyes.

Jin Cheng did not explain further and continued to read the memorials.

He reviewed the memorials faster than Prime Minister Shen taught him, but they were not written randomly. He read them to Luo Jingfeng as soon as he finished writing, and the ability he had been hiding began to show to his uncle.

——When Luo Jingfeng posed no threat at all.

"This official has submitted some nonsense reports again. Apart from dividing the water, he is also stirring up trouble. He is the one who needs to be shocked the most. If we follow the previous method, he will be fined for half a year, but officials also need to live. If their salaries are fined again and again, they will breed the desire to corrupt." Jin Cheng finished speaking and wrote the review, "Fifty military sticks."

The more Luo Jingfeng listened, the more frightened he became.

The young emperor was meticulous and took every aspect of his review of memorials into consideration, not only taking into account the factions in officialdom but also the various aspects of human nature.

He is completely different from the child who used to say “Prime Minister Shen is right” and “Prime Minister Shen is so great” all the time.

This kid, has he been hiding his abilities all along?

When did he learn all this?

Is it from Zongzhao religion?

No, not at all.

He was very good at appointing officials, which was the art of an emperor.

——Chu Heng taught him!

No wonder, no wonder he is so close to Chu Heng.

It turns out that Chu Heng had taught him these things a long time ago, and Chu Heng really didn't want to fight for the throne.

Jin Cheng quietly observed his uncle's expression, and he spoke at the right time: "Uncle, did you guess it? I started learning these things when I was eight years old. His Highness taught me for a year and a half, and he said I learned it very well."

Luo Jingfeng was indeed a little surprised when he heard the exact answer, but he still said stubbornly: "The art of being an emperor that Chu Heng taught you is just to manage officials. He is kind and soft-hearted, and cannot be a wise ruler. If you only listen to him, you will end up the same way!"

Jin Cheng shook his head: "Uncle, you are wrong. His Highness is not kind and soft-hearted. He just loves this world and all living beings."

Luo Jingfeng couldn't understand it and didn't know it at all.

Jin Cheng continued to review the memorials. He saw a familiar name at the back: "Bao Guyu, it's him."

The little emperor stood up from the bed, ran to the bookcase, and took out a small booklet from the gap.

The booklet looked a bit worn, as if it had been opened countless times.

Luo Jingfeng then realized that he really didn't understand his nephew. There were too many things about Jin Cheng that he didn't know.

The little emperor sat down, checked the names and official positions, and finally nodded and said: "He is the corrupt official who embezzled the most money among those who secretly dealt with Prime Minister Fan. Wei Yushi also reported him for corruption and bribery, but there was no evidence. According to regulations, no punishment can be imposed without evidence. But uncle, I clearly know..."

Luo Jingfeng gave him a contemptuous look in return.

If he follows his thinking, once he determines that the other party is wrong, he can directly execute the corrupt official even if he cannot find evidence for the time being.

But Jin Cheng is not him. This little bastard learned the art of being an emperor from Chu Heng. He ruled the country with kindness and was very cowardly. Of course, he could only swallow his anger!

Jin Cheng muttered, "If we leave him alone, he will extort no one knows how much money he will plunder from the people. Since we can't find a reason to search his house, let's create one for him."

Luo Jingfeng was shocked: “……?”

Jin Cheng shouted outside, "Bu Yan, come in."

Bu Yan came in and asked, "Your Majesty, what other arrangements do you have?"

Jin Cheng said bluntly: "I want to find a corrupt official, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Bao Guyu. Go to his house and set it on fire."

No words: “???”

Jin Cheng explained in detail: "Find a reliable person to blend into the undercover team, and search his house while the chaos is going on. Once a large amount of property is found, immediately make a big noise. Once the government notices it, the subsequent house search will be a natural process."

"Yes." Buyan swallowed and took up his new assignment.

As expected, the little devil is still the little devil. Even when he is the emperor, he still thinks of evil tricks. Now the corrupt officials are in trouble.

Your end has come.
