The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 786 The best friend of the reborn daughter of the Duke's Mansion (57)

"Fearful?" Emperor Mingchen raised a faint smile, but his tone was cold, "How come I didn't see it at all? Have you read the memorial you wrote carefully?

The whole article is full of baseless speculations, without any substantive evidence. Just because the Grand Minister of Agriculture's betrothal gift was generous, you allege that he is corrupt. Have you ever seriously investigated his family background?

Is he clear about whether his position might involve access to public funds? How dare he write such a memorial without knowing anything? I open the channels for people to express their opinions, hoping to hear different voices, rather than endless false accusations.

When the first memorial was submitted, I chose to keep it in my heart, just to see what new tricks you would come up with. As a result, not only did you not restrain yourself, but you became even more reckless.

Very good! Since you are so disgusted with others being rich, why not listen to the truth that I have found out!"

Emperor Mingchen raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch beside him stood up and began to read aloud the specific details of the bribes received by these imperial censors - including the time, place and specific amount of the bribes...

Without exception, the last piece of news indicated that all these imperial censors had met Prince Li Zhao Jiaheng.

After hearing what the eunuch said, the faces of several imperial censors changed, and one of the timid ones even fainted.

Emperor Mingchen did not look at these people, but directly took out the account books submitted by the Ministry of Revenue every year: "Take a look! Every entry here is recorded clearly.

I can even tell you that the money allocated to Zhou Aiqing from the national treasury was often not enough to support some of his experiments.

Just purchasing new seeds and planting and observing them was a huge expense, and he borne all of it.

The reason why he is rich is because his mother's family is the Baili family, and his parents who died young left him a rich fortune. "

Having said that, of course everyone present understood what was going on.

In a broader sense, Zhou Tianyu was framed; in a narrower sense, Prince Li couldn't get over it and wanted to cause trouble for the other party.

Emperor Mingchen said at this time: "These people not only embezzled and accepted bribes, but also falsely accused senior officials of the court. They should be dismissed from their posts, investigated and punished according to the law. As for the mastermind of this matter, Prince Li..."

The Crown Prince was actually very worried at this time. After all, he was suspected of instigating the incident, so he stood up and said, "Father, don't make it too difficult. The King of Dirty also committed similar crimes in the past. We can refer to his experience and punish him appropriately."

Prince Gu was the uncle of Emperor Mingchen. In order to compete with the previous emperor for the throne, he had falsely accused ministers, and it seemed that he was also a member of the Zhou family.

The title "King Gu" was changed at that time. Before the change, his title was "King Rui".

His name was changed and he was detained, and he was imprisoned for life.

With a sigh, Emperor Mingchen said, "Issue an order that Prince Li and his family move to Butterfly Garden and are not allowed to leave without permission. No one is allowed to discuss matters. We will make a decision based on how much he repents in the future."

Duke of Xing, Yin Chengye, was also in the court at this time. When he heard the result of the incident, he frowned in embarrassment.

It was natural for his eldest daughter, who was Prince Li's concubine, to follow him to Die Garden, but his other daughter would not get married until half a year later, so this matter became a bit difficult.

Break off the engagement! After all, this is a marriage with the royal family, and it is up to you to decide.

Don't regret the marriage! How can I marry my daughter if this person can't even leave?

Emperor Mingchen also saw Yin Chengye's dilemma, so he asked: "Duke Xing is worried about your daughter's marriage, if you..."

Before he could finish his words, Yin Chengye said, "Given Prince Li's situation, I think we can only keep things simple. I will send my daughter over in a few days. At least she can keep the prince company and give him some advice."

There is no need to do so. I am not someone who likes to push your daughter into trouble. So Emperor Mingchen thought for a moment and said, "Actually, if you don't want to send your daughter over, it doesn't matter. After all..."

"I think it is my daughter's honor to be able to advise Prince Li." Yin Chengye seemed to have completely failed to understand the good intentions of Emperor Mingchen, and just wanted to send Yin Yufei to Zhao Jiaheng.

Seeing that the other party was so persistent, Emperor Mingchen didn't say anything else.

This "corruption" storm just passed.

But afterwards Su Xiangran also warned Zhou Tianyu that it would be better to keep a low profile in the future.

"There are many cases of conjunctivitis in the capital! Who knows when it will hurt their hearts." Su Xiangran sighed, "Let's live in the farm more often in the future! It will be convenient to check the fields this way."

Zhou Tianyu smiled and explained: "Everything can be kept low-key, except the betrothal gift. I just want everyone in the capital to know that my sweetheart is the best in the world, and you are worth everything I have to marry you."

Faced with such passionate love, Su Xiangran couldn't help but kiss the other person, but immediately backed away.

Zhou Tianyu touched his lips that had just been kissed, with a silly smile.
