Chapter 30: Episode

Although Sun Yong, who was tortured by illness and suffering, saved his life, he immediately faced the emperor's thunderous anger. He leaned under the imperial stairs, and he was trembling all over, and no one could rely on him. If he had said that what he wanted most as a minister in the past was to be able to play alone, then he would especially hope that someone else could share the emperor's anger.

"Sun Yong, the memorial to impeach you is already very clear. You are really brave!" The emperor walked to Sun Yong several times and looked at this formerly known as erudition, wishing to kick this shameless villain to death.

"Emperor, the emperor, the criminals are wronged. They are all false accusations. The criminals have read the books of sages and are determined not to do such a thing!" Sun Yong kowtowed repeatedly and defended loudly. This is the only hope. If the emperor can be lucky enough to believe in his innocence, he will be able to escape from heaven. Otherwise, he will be very rare to have a complete body even if he dies.

"Unforgive?" The emperor's brows became even more tight, and his voice became extremely ridiculous. "Sun Yong, you underestimate me too much. The evidence is conclusive, and you still intend to deny it. It seems that you are indeed bold and reckless. No wonder Lian Yuchang's memorial said bluntly that it would be a great disaster to save your life."

Sun Yong could no longer control his inner fear, and his body, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling more and more, trembling as if he was a beggar in the cold wind. However, an extremely resentful mood flashed in his eyes. Even Yuchang, the name of this name, bit his heart like a poisonous snake. And those powerful people who took him a lot of money, all turned into turtles when the matter was about to come. They wanted to throw him out to punish him alone, and they all deserved to die.

"Emperor, I have something to say." Since I thought I would die, Sun Yong was determined. The emperor's resolute attitude meant that neither Hai Guanyu nor He Furong had pleaded for him. This understanding had already abandoned all hope. "There are more than one bribes in Sichuan, and more than one bribes in the world. Not to mention other things, the money earned by the criminals from the transaction of fame and fortune was used to manage the officials in the capital. From the He family to the other officials in charge, they received far more bribes than the criminals! Even the old prime minister, the criminals had sent a book, and ten pages were all decorated with silver notes, with a total price of 200,000 taels!" Sun Yong was already crazy. He suffered very little frustration in the officialdom. This time he suffered a little, and he was unable to turn over and wanted to bite everyone.

The emperor's face suddenly became dark, and a sarcastic smile that was originally on his lips was gone without a trace, and a ruthless light flashed in his eyes. "Sun Yong, I don't want to hear what you said about the corruption and bribery of the officials of the court! You probably thought that Hai Guanyu and He Furong did not plead for you, right? I have already made it clear in the court that things in Sichuan will never be tolerated and will never be lenient. Even if you are a royal relative, you will not escape the law! I saw you today to give you a chance to regret, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Just based on your unremarkable words and your nature is useless to keep your life."

He glanced at the ugly villain with disdain for the last glance. The emperor waved his hand in disgust and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, take Sun Yong down!"

"Your Majesty!" Sun Yong shouted, and wanted to say something. Suddenly he felt a numbness on his body and could not say anything in an instant. He could only stare in vain.

"Since you don't want to leave a whole body for yourself, I have nothing to say!" This is the last sentence Sun Yong heard from the emperor.

Although the emperor did not investigate Sun Yong's previous serious illness, He Furong was still worried. This matter was not handled by him, but it is difficult to guarantee that the people under him did not act without authorization. He understood why Xiao Yunchao was angry and recovered at home. He couldn't explain this matter clearly, so he could only suffer a silence. I think this time it was a draw again, so he put down the teacup in his hand in anger, stood up, and sighed deeply.

"Dad, Lord Shui is here." He Mobin reported the report softly, fearing that he was shocked by his father's thoughts.

"You ask the servant to take him to the study room to wait." He Furong ordered, "I have something to say to you." He Mobin was slightly stunned, then agreed, walked to the door and gave a few instructions to a servant, then hurriedly turned back, waiting for his father to give a message.

"Bin'er, what are the changes in the Ministry of Revenue these days?" He Furong stared into his son's eyes and asked slowly, "You have been wandering at home recently, and it seems that you rarely go to the yamen to take charge of the yamen. Is it really that free?"

He Mobin dared not look at his father. The expression on his face changed a lot. After a while, he answered stutteringly: "I saw that my father was in a bad mood recently and was afraid that you would get angry, so I took leave and cook at home. I think you are old and the court has been in a mess recently. If you are in poor health and cannot handle it, other officials may lose their backbone..."

Before he finished speaking, He Mobin felt a heavy palm on his face, and he couldn't help but stagger a few steps, almost falling down. He raised his head in shock, but he met He Furong's angry eyes. "Bin'er, you have already become the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Why are you still so ignorant of the seriousness of your work? It disappoints me so much!" He Furong scolded him, "I am old and not as old as Xiao Yunchao in his prime. This family business and the officials in the court who depend on the He family will be handed over to you sooner or later. What is important now is not my body, but the overall situation in the court!"

He Furong glanced at half of his son's swollen face, and his lips twitched, as if he was a little pity, but he still said mercilessly. "The Ministry of Revenue is your serious job. I lost the Minister of Revenue. However, there was a Yue Qianfan in the Xiao family for no reason. Why do you think the emperor promoted you to the extreme? Think about it carefully, don't delay your future. What is the old man? The He family can only rely on you to support you now!"

A few words woke He Mobin up like a sudden enlightenment, his mouth full of bitterness. "Dad..." He wanted to say something but found that he couldn't even spit out a word, and the wound on his face became even more intense.

"Okay, I've been a little too much just now, but it's all for your own good." He Furong walked up, looked his son's face carefully, and said in a calm tone, "I'll ask the servants to apply cold water later to avoid the Ministry of Revenue being seen. Bin'er, remember, even if I am a father, you are a high-ranking official in the court. Naturally, you can replace the officials of the He family's party for your father. Remember to take up your airs as your uncle!" He Furong's bright eyes penetrated his son's heart, and his big hands tightly squeezed his shoulders, "Go, don't let me down!"

He Mobin nodded, bowed and left before leaving. He Furong heard him loudly outside, and seemed to be rushing to the yamen to take charge of the yamen. "Bin'er's temperament is really not good without knocking, alas!" He murmured a few words to himself before rushing to the study. Shui Wuya, the Tongzheng envoy, was in charge of the disgrace from all over the world. Is there anything wrong with it? He Furong could only secretly hope that no one would make trouble anymore. There are too many tricky things now.

"Master He." As soon as Shui Wuya saw the master enter the room, he hurriedly stood up to salute. He Furong was not polite, and accepted his greeting with a smile, and then sat down with the guest and host. Shui Wuya was too lazy to greet him. Seeing that the door of the study was closed, he whispered: "Master, today, a junior official got the news from the palace. The emperor met Sun Yong privately, and finally it was a very furious thing. It was several guards who put Sun Yong down."

He Furong nodded disinterestedly, "Sun Yong just wanted to save his life, and he must have repeatedly denyed it, which angered the Holy Lord. If he was smart, he should have confessed his sins. If Fu Bian wrote a good memorial, he would still have a way out of life. Alas, he is still a well-reader of scriptures and does not even understand such a little truth. His academic studies are in vain." Although he received many benefits, He Furong showed no mercy in his words. He was already abandoned, and he would not be able to make any trouble.

Shui Wuya was not so calm, and the horror on his face could no longer be concealed. He rushed to He Furong a few steps and revealed the news he had just obtained in an almost inauspicious voice. "Sir, there are other news that the lower official has received. Sun Yong, the bastard, reported to the emperor, and other officials who received his money, and also involved the old prime minister Hai in!" He tried his best to suppress his slightly trembling hands and barely finished his words.

Bang———He Furong slapped the desk with a heavy palm, and the man stood up suddenly. He never expected Sun Yong to be so crazy, which would involve many imperial officials. I believe the emperor had known about the fraud in Sichuan's selection of students and the promotion of children. He only investigated Sun Yong alone to avoid too much storm, but this ignorant thing messed up everything. "Your Majesty, what is the attitude of the emperor?" He Furong asked fiercely, "Is the emperor furious or silent?"

Shui Wuya didn't bother to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and replied hurriedly: "The emperor seemed to have scolded Sun Yong, and then ordered the guards to hold him down. However, the emperor did not say whether he believed it or not, it was difficult to make a decision."

He Furong glared at Shui Wuya with dissatisfaction, claiming to have dated many eunuchs in the inner palace, but he actually got such insignificant news. However, he knew that this person rushed over because he had gained a lot of benefits from it. With the power of the Tongzheng Envoy, he suppressed many documents sent to the capital by Sichuan scholars through great difficulty, so he was extremely anxious.
