Chapter 731: Outlaws
Xu Shiyun was stunned for a moment.
who? Who is corrupt and accepting bribes?
Who was caught?
How much was embezzled? ?
She showed a rare look of confusion, and turned to ask Dengzhi: "Did I hear it wrong? He said that our two-and-a-half-year-old Shanshan was caught for corruption and bribery?"
Dengzhi was shocked: "Madam, it's true!"
"The young master was caught with corruption and bribery!"
Xu Shiyun's eyes went dark, and she barely managed to stand up with the help of Deng Zhi: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, follow me to the Imperial College!!"
"This bastard, he's only been in school for a month, and he's embezzled more than 4,000 taels!!"
When the people in the mansion heard the news, they had already prepared the horses. When they arrived at the gate, the carriage was already waiting there.
Yunniang hurriedly climbed onto the carriage, and the carriage headed all the way to the Imperial College.
At this time, the Imperial College would have already closed for business on normal days.
At this moment, the lights were on inside, illuminating the Imperial College.
There were soldiers in armor guarding the door. Xu Shiyun's eyelids twitched wildly: "This is..."
"The Imperial College has always provided talents for Beizhao, and Your Majesty attaches great importance to it. Today..." Facing Xu Shiyun's shocked gaze, Dengzhi said hesitantly.
"Today, His Majesty inspected the Imperial College. The young master was captured by His Majesty himself."
This was like a bolt from the blue for Xu Shiyun.
Xu Shiyun came to the Imperial College in panic, and there were many people standing in the courtyard.
Rong Che was breathing heavily, his cheeks flushed. "You little bastard, you learned to embezzle and accept bribes when I was still playing in the mud?"
"My Rong family is full of loyal people, you...you..."
"The lid of our ancestor's coffin can't even be held down!" Rong Che was heartbroken, he felt like the sky was falling.
He embezzled more than four thousand taels of silver in a month, which was not enough for him to earn in a year! !
Lu Yanshu and Lu Yuanxiao are both rare geniuses in the world. At this moment, they were both shocked by their youngest brother and were speechless.
Lu Yanshu took a deep breath, opened his robe, and immediately knelt in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, Shanshan is only two and a half years old, and he is still young and ignorant. It is because of me, as the eldest brother, that I failed to guide him and let him go astray. Please punish him..."
When Lu Yuanxiao heard this, he saw Xiao Shanshan with her head down, the little fellow curled up into a ball, not even as big as the pug raised by the imperial concubine.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Rong Che also knelt down without saying a word: "Your Majesty, it is my fault as a father that I did not teach my child well. I will be punished together with Shanshan for the mistake he made." As for begging for mercy, it was impossible.
Emperor Xuanping even found it funny when he saw this scene.
"My dear Rong, I envied the auspicious dragon and phoenix in your family. Now I see that God is fair..."
Emperor Xuanping was even a little bit cocky.
"I would like to ask, where did you get more than four thousand taels?"
"A group of young princes, whose average age is only five years old, can come up with more than four thousand taels in just one month?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly. Are the ministers too rich? ?
"Shan Shan, if you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely. Hurry up and tell me where the money came from!" Rong Che glared at his son fiercely. Pt. He thought that smoke was coming out of the Rong family's ancestral tomb.
Shan Shan hung her head and said, "If you can't recite, you can pass by paying money."
"If you fail to complete the assignment, you can pass by paying the money." This was all discovered by the emperor, and it was out in the open, so he couldn't refute it.
The little guy paused and refused to say anything more.
"Young master, lying in front of His Majesty is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Why don't you confess honestly!" The eunuch's head was buzzing, and he dared to hesitate in front of the emperor.
The account of more than four thousand taels does not add up.
Shan Shan pursed her lips: "Nothing else."
"If Uncle Emperor doesn't believe it, just put Shanshan in jail." Rong Che was shocked by Shanshan's expression.
"This bastard, Your Majesty...he..." Rong Che felt very disappointed. He had lived for decades and never dared to challenge the imperial power.
You are so bold!
The emperor was not angry, but instead smiled slightly.
"You actually keep the client's secret." The emperor couldn't help but laugh. It would be great if these two children, Lu Chaochao and Shanshan, were born in the royal family.
But in the Imperial College, nothing can be hidden from the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyes and glanced at the students, who had originally lowered their heads and dared not say a word, and their whole bodies tensed up.
"Yanshu Zhengyue, Yuanxiao, several people are different from Chaochao."
"On the contrary, this kid is just like her sister." The emperor even laughed heartily, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are exactly like Chao Chao."
It was the first time Shan Shan heard someone say that she looked like her sister, so she couldn't help but raise her head and asked, "How do you look like your sister?"
Rong Che glared at him, how dare he face the emperor directly!
The emperor said calmly: "They are all lawless lunatics."
Good good…………
After a while, a student walked to the front of the hall and said, "The student is guilty."
"The students are guilty."
"The students are guilty." As more and more students walked out, the teachers and adults shuddered.
The students kneeling down were no longer just from the small class.
Most of them have involved scholars who have achieved the title of scholar.
The student walking in front knelt straight and said: "The young master once found me, brought homework, and asked me to help with it. I..." He sighed in shame and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The price is considerable.
The students of the Imperial College were either rich or noble, and some of them already had control over their finances and were financially independent. Most students rely on monthly allowances from their families, and no one thinks money is too much.
Even the teachers gasped.
As time went by, Shanshan's business almost occupied the entire academy.
And it only took him one month.
What was most shocking was that he received more than 4,000 taels of silver. It’s all the difference in price taken in the middle. The actual amount of silver in circulation is over ten thousand taels a month.
Emperor Xuanping couldn't help but grin.
"If I study for a few more years, I'm afraid my private library won't be able to catch up."
"This son is not like you. The Rong family is an old-fashioned family and cannot give birth to such a treacherous minister..." The emperor remembered Rong Xiangshan's name. This kid must not be allowed to serve as an official in the court!
This guy is definitely a traitor in reserve.
The most surprising thing is that even though he was caught red-handed, he would rather be convicted himself than reveal his accomplices.
I’m afraid this group of students will still remember his kindness.
Rong Che could no longer tell whether the emperor was joking or blaming him, and he kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.
"Forget it, everyone get up." The emperor waved his hand with a calm expression.
"It seems that the Imperial College is still too relaxed, and the students still have such thoughts." He looked around and saw that all the teachers had already knelt down.
The teachers cannot escape blame for such a huge mistake.
The one who triggered all this was a child who was less than three years old.
"Shanshan is young, yet has such talent, but she doesn't know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate. General Rong, take her back to the palace and teach her well. Don't... go astray." The emperor glanced at him, then left with a group of people.
By the time His Majesty left, everyone was already covered in cold sweat.
Rong Che gritted his teeth and stood up: "Go home now!!"
May our ancestors bless us, our Rong family will be destroyed by this bastard! !
I thought I would raise a scholar.
The result is a treacherous minister! !
I feel so ashamed of the Rong family's ancestors, wuwuwuwuwu...
