Chapter 13 is so exciting! Personal experience of ancient scenes
I heard the voice of the guard at the door.
Jiang Chen's temple throbbed.
Didn’t the Minister of Rites Liu Ping just invite him to come in?
Suddenly there are other accomplices?
However, in front of the emperor.
Jiang Chen didn't dare to reveal anything.
Instead, he learned to stand still like Su Dingxia, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
"Let them in."
I heard the words of the guard at the door.
The emperor whispered.
Su Dingxia stepped forward and responded.
"yes!"
Then, he strode out of the hall.
The voice was high and shrill.
"Announce that the Minister of Rites Liu Ping, the Vice Minister of Revenue Zhou Xuan, and the leader of the Iron Shirt Generals Jiang Haiping are here to see you!"
Jiang Chen stayed in the room and suddenly noticed that the emperor's cup was empty.
He immediately turned around silently and picked up the teapot from the table beside him.
Then add some hot water into the teacup.
Right at this moment.
Three men in official robes entered the study.
When they saw the emperor, they all knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Highness!"
"Long live the emperor!"
The emperor waved his hand and remained lukewarm.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The three ministers stood up from the ground leisurely.
In front of the emperor, several people bowed their heads and stood quietly.
He couldn't hide the respect on his face.
Jiang Chen had also finished pouring the water at this time.
He put the kettle away and stood quietly aside again.
He was a slave, and moreover, he was a eunuch.
You must remain quiet at this time.
This scene.
It is really similar to the scene of the ancient emperor discussing matters with his ministers.
Unfortunately, Jiang Chen is just a eunuch.
Otherwise, you have to give some good advice to Jiangshan.
In silence.
Jiang Haiping, the leader of the Iron Shirt Generals, stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty, I have already found out about the Imperial Salt Minister Que Xinyan whom you asked me to assist in investigating."
"Just as you expected!"
"He embezzled tens of millions of taels of government silver and still had thousands of acres of fertile land."
"There are hundreds of houses."
"This charge of corruption is absolutely true and cannot be denied."
"In addition, the other people you want to investigate are also guilty of corruption."
"But none of them embezzled as much as the Minister of Salt."
The Iron Shirt General leader Jiang Haiping had just finished speaking.
The other two ministers also stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, we will go and investigate with General Jiang."
"We guarantee that everything General Jiang said is true!"
"If there is any mistake, I am willing to use my life as a guarantee!"
“…”
After hearing this, Jiang Chen understood.
It seems that the emperor listened to him.
They are taking advantage of others to profit from the loss.
This person embezzled tens of millions of taels of government silver and thousands of acres of fertile land.
He really picked the fattest sheep and cut the longest leek.
Sure enough, the emperor heard what several people said.
Immediately the emperor became furious.
He threw the white jade teacup in his hand directly to the ground.
The emperor slammed the table and said angrily.
“Bold!”
The white jade shattered, leaving fragments all over the ground.
The hot water in the quilt also spilled onto the ground.
Immediately, the three ministers knelt down.
Said loudly.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The emperor jumped down from the bed.
He paced back and forth on the ground, holding a pair of white jade Buddhist beads in his hand.
An angry and sad way.
"The country is in crisis, floods are frequent in various places, and refugees are everywhere."
"As a minister of the Xia Kingdom, Que Xinyan must share my worries for the country."
"Still so greedy for pleasure!"
"It's really a shame for Xia Country!"
The three ministers looked at each other.
They all started to speak in a high-profile manner.
"Your Majesty, as a humble official, Que Xinyan's crime is unforgivable!"
"They should be executed on the spot!"
"Take back the official silver that belongs to the court!"
"I second the motion!"
The emperor's face seemed to show some reluctance.
But under the consolation of these loyal ministers, he could not help but make up his mind!
"Su Dingxia!"
Su Dingxia immediately stepped forward again.
"The servant is here!"
"The Minister of Imperial Salt, Que Xinyan, and other officials, have embezzled government silver and cannot escape responsibility."
"Punish all nine clans, and confiscate all the government silver you have found!"
Su Dingxia agreed immediately.
He waved his whisk and walked out.
The three of them were still kneeling on the ground, waiting for another imperial decree from the emperor.
The emperor pondered for a moment.
Said to the three people below.
"You have made great contributions in the investigation and will be promoted to a higher position."
"You three are fully responsible for this investigation!"
When the three people below heard this, their faces suddenly lit up with joy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"We will definitely not let your majesty down!"
Tired of wandering around the room, the emperor sat down again.
His sight swept over Jiang Chen.
The emperor suddenly spoke.
"Jiang Chen receives the order!"
Jiang Chen knelt down immediately when he heard his name.
"The servant is here!"
"I appoint you as the Royal Inspector. Go and check for me the evidence of the crimes of the Minister of Salt!"
"And the matter of copying and beheading."
"If there is anything wrong, come back and report immediately!"
Jiang Chen immediately agreed.
"I obey your order!"
"Okay, this matter has come to an end."
"You guys go and do it quickly!"
The emperor waved his hand and held his forehead.
It seemed that the anger just now had reached the limit of his body.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chen and others immediately left the imperial study.
If Jiang Chen is not wrong.
He seemed to have just seen the emperor's face turn much paler.
The emperor couldn't bear the mere fact of being angry?
No wonder, over the years.
There are only a few princesses in the harem.
Arrived outside the imperial study.
Jiang Chen did not go directly to the residence of the Minister of Imperial Salt with several ministers.
Instead, he went to get a sign before going out.
No matter what is done in the palace, nothing can be done carelessly.
If someone with ulterior motives could catch us.
I'm afraid he will also become a good colleague who loses his life.
Just now he had watched the acting skills of these old men in the imperial study, and they were simply superb.
If we hadn't known that they were in collusion.
I was really shocked by this scene of the emperor's kindness and his ministers' loyalty.
Now he holds great power.
I feel a little bit elated.
Arrived outside the palace gate.
Jiang Chen got on the horse that the young eunuch had prepared in advance.
He waved his hand with familiarity.
"We don't know how to ride horses."
"Send us a carriage!"
When the young eunuch heard this, she immediately went to do it.
This trip was a rush.
Soon, Jiang Chen took a carriage to the residence of the Minister of Salt.
Out of the palace.
It is a scene completely different from the environment in the palace.
Even on the official road.
There were also refugees everywhere, and the whole place was in mourning.
It is winter.
Jiang Chen was wearing a cotton coat and still felt cold even sitting in the carriage.
But some of the refugees on the road were still wearing thin clothes.
If they hadn't blinked, Jiang Chen would have thought they were dead.
I can't bear to watch it anymore.
Jiang Chen closed the curtain.
This dog emperor and his concubines are greedy for pleasure.
Even the rewards were several thousand taels of real gold and silver.
With this money, why worry about the refugees on the road not having enough food to eat?
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone!
"Sir, please save my father!"
"Please!"
"As long as you are willing to save my father!"
"I am willing to do anything for you!"
Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded beside the carriage that Jiang Chen was riding in.
I almost came to life all of a sudden.
His eyes widened.
Could this familiar plot be about selling oneself to bury one's father?
