Chapter 404: The Brutal Little Emperor vs. the Beauty Killer (10)
The imperial study in the palace.
After receiving the notification sound that the system's favorability value had decreased, Lu Cha leaned back in his chair worriedly. It was not difficult to guess the reason.
It should be that the heroine told the villain that she was peeping.
The title of Sejun has been completely secured.
Why not find a suitable time to confess to the heroine first?
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao, Lord Qian, and Lord Sun are here."
Xiaoshan's report interrupted Lucha's thoughts.
These three people were exactly the officials that Gu Guifan wanted to get rid of before.
As early as after the court session, Lu Cha asked Xiaoshan to summon them into the palace.
The three men knelt on the ground in fear and said in unison: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Lu Cha waved his hand and asked them to stand up. "My three beloved ministers, do you know why I summoned you to the palace?"
Seeing the ministers shaking their heads, Lu Cha's originally calm tone suddenly turned cold:
"You are cruel and inhumane, and you are unworthy of being an emperor. Did these words come from your mouth?!"
"Who gave you the guts to criticize me behind my back?!"
The leader, Lord Zhao, immediately knelt down trembling with fear, along with his two colleagues. "Your Majesty, please understand! We have never said such outrageous words!"
Although they do not like what Your Majesty does, they always remember their duties as subjects. How dare they criticize Your Majesty?
This is a capital crime punishable by loss of head!
Lu Cha deliberately tutted his words: "But Prime Minister Gu would not lie to me."
"He told me everything. You guys said it."
When they heard Gu Guifan's name, the three adults' faces turned green with anger.
Not long ago, Gu Guifan extended an olive branch, trying to win over the three of them.
But as subjects, they should be loyal to the emperor and the country. They righteously rejected Gu Guifan, but they didn't expect that the other party would turn black into white and slander them!
It's so despicable!
Lord Zhao spoke first: "Your Majesty! We can swear to heaven! We absolutely did not say such words! It was Gu Guifan who framed us!"
Lord Qian: "This old minister implores Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter! Restore our innocence!"
Lord Sun: "Your Majesty, please understand!"
Lu Cha picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying casually, "Everything requires evidence."
"Since you say the Prime Minister has wronged you, then prove to me who is lying."
"But this matter makes me very unhappy, so I will fine you one month's salary."
The three of them relaxed instantly and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
They thought that His Majesty had been bewitched by Gu Guifan and wanted to chop off their heads!
Even if they risk their lives to find something to hold against that villain Gu Guifan!
Seeing the three ministers leave with resentment on their faces, Lu Cha smiled cunningly.
She took away Gu Guifan's right to manage the government today. The other party will definitely be vigilant and hold the power in his hands even tighter.
Only by provoking conflicts and letting officials divert Gu Guifan's attention and distract his thoughts can he take advantage of the opportunity.
The three adults are in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works respectively, which is enough to give Gu Guifan a headache for a while~
Lu Cha leisurely put down the teacup and tapped the table three times.
A man in black emerged from the shadows.
It was the leader of the secret guards called back by Xiaoshan - An Jin.
"How many of Gu Guifan's spies in the palace have been dealt with?"
Dark Gold bowed his head and reported, "Only a small portion was removed. According to His Majesty's instructions, we fabricated the appearance of accidental deaths."
"However, the death of so many people in such a short period of time will arouse Gu Guifan's suspicion."
"The spies in the bedroom and the imperial study must be cleaned up. The spies in other places can be left alone for now." Lu Cha wrote down the names of the officials he had noted down at the morning court on a piece of paper and handed it to An Jin.
"Investigate these ministers."
"From corruption and bribery to trivial matters in the backyard, such as illegitimate children, favoring concubines and ignoring wives, etc."
People in Jinchang attach the most importance to reputation.
The dirty deeds in the homes of the rich and powerful were kept secret for fear that they would be discovered by others.
The reason why the original owner's reputation was so bad that it could spread to the public was closely related to the male protagonist's followers.
Treat others the way they have treated you.
We can't let her be notorious alone!
And An Jin was stunned.
But he believed that the words of His Majesty were the imperial decree, so he tactfully did not ask any further questions and took his leave.
At this time, Xiaoshan pushed the door open and came in: "Your Majesty, Consort Shen is here and said she made breakfast for you personally."
Lucha: "?"
Is the little villain so kind?
A second-rate person burns incense - no one believes it!
Lu Cha asked Xiaoshan to bring the person in.
After a while.
The beautiful lady in purple, carrying a carved food box, followed Xiaoshan into the imperial study.
Her skin was as white as cream, her lips were slightly upturned, and Shen Yi's already charming face was made even more bright and seductive by a little makeup, like a natural beauty, tempting people to fall at her feet.
Even after seeing many beautiful sisters' Lucha, I couldn't help but sigh:
The little villain's face is really good-looking.
I want to take it down and keep it forever!
Lu Cha teased Shen Yi maliciously:
"Didn't my beloved concubine tell me when she was in the palace that she wasn't feeling well today?"
