Chapter 525 Uncle Loves Cheng'er

After Bu Yan left, Luo Jingfeng frowned.

Jin Cheng told him, "This booklet was found in Prime Minister Fan's home two years ago when we were trying to overturn Prime Minister Yan's case. It records the corruption of hundreds of officials. Dad gave it to the late emperor, but the late emperor was afraid of unrest in the court, so he asked dad to burn it. Dad eventually kept it. He said the emperor would deal with it later. Later, I realized that the emperor he was talking about was me."

Luo Jingfeng didn't know about this.

But he also understood that Zong Zhao would not burn the books according to the late emperor's wishes, as they were all people who could not stand seeing dirty things.

Jin Cheng smiled and said, "Uncle, you will definitely guess that I will take action against everyone in the entire booklet next, right?"

Luo glared at him in surprise: "What else? Keep it for the New Year?"

Seeing that his uncle paid attention to him, Jin Cheng smiled even more brilliantly: "It's okay to wait a few more years, because the previous emperor's worries are not unreasonable. A large number of blood changes in a short period of time will cause unrest in the court. I plan to deal with them, but I have to wait and see. First, I will deal with a big corrupt official to replenish the national treasury."

Luo Jingfeng fell silent again.

He had been fighting outside for many years and did not know much about state affairs. He mainly used force in his actions, but the principles he spoke were very clear and could be understood by an ordinary person.

He was too stubborn to admit that his nephew was right.

My uncle remained silent.

Jin Cheng didn't insist that Uncle Yu would calm down immediately. He was the kind of person who never wastes time on internal issues. As long as his uncle was not so furious that he couldn't control himself, he wouldn't push him so hard.

That night, the fire burned fiercely.

Even the little emperor who had just fallen asleep was woken up.

The news from outside the palace came in, saying that the fire team had found a large amount of valuables in Bao Guyu's house. The little emperor rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy. Let the three officials investigate and report to me tomorrow morning."

Eunuch Huang replied, "Yes."

Luo Jingfeng hadn't slept the whole time, and watched his nephew pretending.

It turns out that he didn't collude with everyone.

No matter whether it was the plan to capture him or to set fire to the Bao family, only Bu Yan knew about it.

He kept Eunuch Huang, but did not trust anyone easily.

Good boy, you are really good at using people.

The next day, early morning court.

Wei Yushi's loud voice directly opened the curtain of a new day: "Your Majesty! I told you that old thief Bao Guyu was corrupt, but you still didn't believe me. Look, the submarine team encountered him last night, and this old thief actually embezzled 185,634 taels of silver!"

Little Emperor: “…”

You don't have to be so precise, can't people have some money left over from their salary?

The officials were talking about it, and some who were dissatisfied with Wei Yushi even suspected that he had set the fire.

But the evidence was solid and Bao Guyu had no way to deny it.

The young emperor nodded and announced the punishment according to the legal standards: "Bao Guyu was extremely corrupt, so he will be dismissed from his post and sentenced to be executed in the autumn. The money he embezzled will be taken by the Ministry of Revenue; Bao's family members will be exiled 3,000 miles, and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War will supervise them."

"yes."

After other officials have finished reporting.

General Pang suddenly appeared and said, "Your Majesty, may I ask why the Duke of Protectorate did not attend the court today? I heard that he has not come out since he entered the palace yesterday."

After these words were spoken, other officials began to whisper to each other.

General Pang asked this question, clearly suspecting that the Emperor had detained the Duke of Protectorate in the palace.

But how is that possible?

Not to mention that they are close uncle and nephew, the Duke of Protector of the Country has made great military achievements and has extraordinary martial power. It is impossible for him to be captured by a twelve-year-old child.

But the loyal General Pang was worried and had to check his heart.

Chu Jincheng smiled and said, "My uncle has been fighting for more than a year, and he can't come to court every day. I let him play Cuju and practice archery with me in the palace, so that he won't always say that I am a useless martial artist who can't even catch a pheasant."

A simple joke, with a hint of coquettishness.

It sounds like a child is pestering his uncle to play in the palace.

All the officials laughed it off, and General Pang felt a little relieved and did not ask any more questions.

After the court session, Jin Cheng came back and saw Luo Jingfeng telling Eunuch Huang to get out again: "If you don't want to eat it, take it away."

The Lord Protector of the State, who was imprisoned in the cage, felt that his self-esteem had been severely challenged. Even though he had seen his nephew's imperial ability, he still could not forgive the boy's deception and calculation against him.

Jin Cheng said to Eunuch Huang, "If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Take it out."

Eunuch Huang advised, "But Your Majesty, you didn't eat either. You are at this age and you are still growing up. You can't mess around with this kind of thing."

Jin Cheng waved at him.

Eunuch Huang advised him not to move and went out in silence.

Luo Jingfeng said coldly: "Don't try to threaten me with yourself. I don't want to live anymore. It's none of my business whether you live or not!"

Jin Cheng did not retreat but advanced, smiling and said, "Uncle, you still love me, otherwise you wouldn't have said you didn't want to live. I am still very important to you."

Luo Jingfeng glared at him and shouted, "That was once! It's gone after yesterday! I don't care at all, I don't want to see you again!"

Jin Cheng didn't care. He just said to himself, "Uncle loves Cheng Er, just like Cheng Er loves uncle. We will be fine."

These words made people shudder.

If he had heard it before yesterday, Luo Jingfeng would have been ecstatic and would have felt that his nephew was the closest to him in the world.

But now, Luo Jingfeng, who was imprisoned in a cage, felt only humiliation, ridicule and lies.

It's all a lie, it's all fake.

His calmness finally came to a halt, but it broke down again. He kicked the cage hard and went crazy: "I told you to stop talking!"

The iron cage made a loud noise.

Jincheng was also shocked.

He was just trying to see if his uncle would soften his heart by saying something nice, but his reaction was even more intense than before.

Jin Cheng pursed his lips and whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Get lost!"

Luo Jingfeng lost his temper and was full of energy.

The contrast between the two people who had not eaten for a day was very obvious.

Because my uncle was a military commander, he had thick skin and strong muscles. He had experienced all kinds of hardships in marching and fighting, and he would not die even if he was hungry for three to five days.

My nephew, however, has been spoiled since he was a child. He would make a big fuss if he didn't eat a meal. Now, after not eating for a day, his face has become noticeably paler, and even his voice sounds a little weak when he speaks loudly.

The little devil did not argue with his uncle. He sat at the desk and began to read the memorial again. However, before he had written a few words, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach.

"Bang——" the ink-stained pen hit the spread-out memorial, smudging the writing on it.

Jin Cheng covered his stomach with one hand and leaned on the table with the other hand. He was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The groan of pain was heard by Luo Jingfeng.

His first reaction was: "You are pretending again. You are such a good actor, why do you want to be an emperor? Do you think I will be soft-hearted towards you? Chu Jincheng, I tell you, I will never again..."

"Ah..." The little devil fell down in pain. He had no strength to support his body and fell directly from the edge of the bed, revealing his pale and bloodless face.

Luo Jingfeng immediately grabbed the iron railing, stood up and shouted: "Cheng... stop pretending! You... I..."

The Duke of Huguo wanted to continue speaking harshly, but seeing the pain on his nephew's face was not fake, he began to panic in his heart, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Someone come! Someone come quickly! Bu Yan! Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician immediately!! Cheng'er, Cheng'er..."

Luo Jingfeng wanted to reach out to see him, but the cage was too far away and he couldn't reach the child. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
