Chapter 62 Dig a hole for King Yu

As soon as these words were finished, there was an uproar around him. King Yu, who was sitting in the car behind, was about to get off the car immediately, but was stopped by King Jing.

"Brother Yu, you are here now, aren't you going to send it to your father to scold me?" King Jing smiled: "Let's wait for someone to finish your words."

King Yu frowned, looked at him deeply, and whispered: "Brother Jing is here prepared."

"Hey, what does this have to do with me?" King Jing shrugged his shoulders and looked innocent: "What did Brother Yu do by himself, don't you know? There is no airtight wall in the world."

King Yu gritted his teeth and stretched his head to look forward.

The old man knelt on the ground and cried loudly. Although he couldn't see what his father's expression was, he saw that the eunuchs next to him had kneeled down, so he must have been furious.

This time it was really bad!

When he pinched the paper and saw the end from the beginning, the emperor was so angry that his hands were trembling. He turned his head and rushed to the commander of the imperial guard next to him, "Take people back to the capital, open the Kyoto Yamen, I want to personally try this case!"

Chen Zaiye raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, then got off the horse and walked to the dragon car, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are personally tried in the Kyoto Yamen. This case is a big deal. Your Highness Yu is the prince after all..."

Concubine Lan glanced at him and held the emperor's hand and said, "The Prime Minister thinks that Your Majesty will be favored and partial? The emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Your Majesty will personally examine it in the yamen for justice and clarity. Such a wise monarch, who is a minister, not only does not praise the saints, but also wants to stop it?"

He chuckled, Chen Zaiye lowered his head and said, "Empress calms down, I have no intention of stopping me. I just see that Your Majesty is now angry and wants Your Majesty to think twice before doing it."

After a little anger, the emperor patted Concubine Lan's hand and looked at Chen Zaiye and said, "The Prime Minister has always understood my thoughts best, so it is natural to persuade me. But this time, human life is involved in the corruption in the horse farm. I must severely punish it to serve as a warning! So you don't have to say more."

"I understand." Chen Zaiye nodded and bowed, retreating immediately.

The peach blossoms were still pecking at the rice with chickens. Although they were so excited by the old man that they were roaring, they seemed to be asleep again, with their eyelids half hanging.

Chen Zaiye got on the horse and hugged her in his arms again. He saw her yawning a little, and then he smashed his mouth and said, "You really understand Concubine Lan's personality."

"Hmm?" Chen Zaiye asked casually: "How did you see it?"

"What you want is the emperor to severely punish King Yu, but he deliberately said it backwards. Isn't it just that Concubine Lan will sing a counter-tune with you?" rubbed his chest, and she found a more comfortable position and narrowed her eyes and said, "It seems that she has had a friendship for at least several years, otherwise she wouldn't know what she knows about."

The old man and the people blocking the road were taken by the guards to the carriage behind him, and the convoy continued to move forward.

Chen Zaiye looked at the road while expressionlessly: "It's not been several years, but ten years."

Ten years?! Taohua finally opened her eyes and looked at him in shock and curiosity.

Since we have been in love for ten years, how can we look so strange? It seems that we have fallen in love with each other, and it seems that we have had some deep hatred.

However, she didn't ask wisely because Chen Zaiye wouldn't answer even after asking. He didn't seem to like mentioning Concubine Lan, and he felt a little irritable when he mentioned it.

This emotion made her feel very familiar, as if she had seen it before... When she asked him for the close-fitting jade pendant as collateral, was Shen Zaiye's angry mood similar to when she brought Concubine Lan in front of him?

What is the connection between the two?

Touching her chin, Peach Blossoms quickly thought of a love-hate entanglement drama - the two of them were in love, but the emperor broke up the couple. Chen Zaiye took the opportunity to send Concubine Lan into the palace. Concubine Lan kept holding a grudge against Concubine Chen. Poor Prime Minister Chen still had Concubine Lan in his heart, and shed tears at the jade pendant she left until dawn!

I can’t love, I can’t want, I can’t ask for it, I can’t give it up! The pain of love in the world is fully reflected in these two people!

Too miserable!

As she thought about it, Taohua sighed long, reached out and pinched the hand that Shen Zaiye placed in front of her, with the ethereality of understanding life in her voice: "I don't have to be too painful for the past. I have to let go of what I should give up. There are many beautiful things in the world, don't be desperate about life."

Chen Zaiye looked at her with a look of a psychopath: "Did that arrow hurt your brain?"

"I understand, I won't ask more questions." Looking back at him deeply, Taohua's eyes were full of pity: "I will treat you well in the future, give you warmth, so that you will no longer be in pain and loneliness!"

"...I'm in pain now." Half of my face darkened, Shen Zaiye looked at her disgustedly and said, "What are you thinking about? If you want to sit immediately, shut up and don't talk. No more nonsense, even if you have any injuries on your body, I will throw you down!"

He reached out and pinched his lips. Taohua blinked and signaled that he would not say anything again. Then he obediently hugged in his arms and continued to look forward.

The speed of returning to the city was about the same as when he left. After half a day, he saw the gate of the capital. The emperor and his party did not even go back to the palace and went directly to the Kyoto Yamen.

Jingzhao Yin was scared to death. After hearing the saint's order, he immediately went to the hall. The news that the emperor personally tried the case was spread throughout the capital like he had wings. When Emperor Mingde changed his clothes and sat on the high hall of the yamen, the door was already crowded with people watching the fun.

Chen Zaiye really knows Emperor Mingde very well. This man is very selfish and the one who feels most distressed is his sons. Although he often dislikes and scolds them, he is reluctant to give them any crimes he really wants to convict them. He came down from the yamen in an impulse, but when he changed his clothes in the house, the emperor already regretted it.

However, the retreat was blocked by Concubine Lan himself, and he could not be the emperor who committed favoritism and fraud. If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked. Besides, the people have all come, so regretting it is not right at this time.

So the emperor bit the bullet and went to court.

Chen Zaiye and King Jing stood on both sides, King Yu, Taipu Meng and the old man who complained were kneeling down. There were crowds of people at the gate of the yamen, and Jiang Taohua and Concubine Lan stood in the trial room next to the court.

The emperor was tried and the old man also brought the bodies of his younger brother and son. They were all stinking and rotting, but they were unwilling to be buried.

After glanced at it, the emperor quickly waved his hand and asked someone to withdraw it, frowned and said, "The construction of the horse farm is allocated by the imperial court, and there are also records of the officials who manage grain. If I remember correctly, I would allocate a total of 400,000 taels of silver. But why did he build such a vulnerable palace, and even don't pay the workers' wages, and he was exhausted?!"

Meng Taipu trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly: "I am wronged! The construction of the horse farm is left to the people below, and I don't know why..."

"Bang!" The crisp sound of the agglomeration wood was so scared that Meng Taipu almost bit his tongue and looked up at the emperor in panic.

"You dare not admit it?" The emperor was furious: "Everyone thinks I am a fool? If you don't get any money from it, how could the money you have left is not enough to pay for labor?"

Meng Taipu leaned over to the ground and didn't know how to defend himself. Logically speaking, the emperor would never ask the emperor to personally investigate the construction of a horse farm, let alone the trial. If you want to blame him, he would blame him for his bad luck. Why did he meet the emperor who wanted to go to the horse farm to hunt, and the palace was surrounded by wolves. This one after another, just like who had arranged it.

What's even more terrifying is that even King Yu was involved. If this master was out of the matter, he could still help him, but now he would be unable to protect himself...

"Father," King Yu bowed and said with a heavy expression: "My son and minister are not effective in supervising the horse farm. I have never noticed such a problem. Please punish my father!"

"You are not just a poor supervisor?" The emperor looked at him in a blink of an eye and frowned: "God prince, instead of setting an example, he is disregarding human life. What kind of face do you want me to face the world!"

The people at the door were in a state of excitement and even knelt down one after another, shouting long live the mountain!

If there is such a good emperor who cares about the people, what else can they ask for? Those who are more courageous will raise their heads and shout "My emperor is wise", and their voices will reach the holy ears, so that the dragon's face is serious, but the dragon's heart is very happy.

Few emperors do not want to be loved by the world, and this sense of accomplishment is more satisfying than the power in their hands.

However, no matter how satisfied he is, he still doesn't want to take it seriously. Just a common man, can the prince really pay his life?

"Father!" King Yu also knew this and quickly refused: "I don't know about this. I'm afraid the slave in the house is too arrogant and deceives his superiors and hides his subordinates. He beats him to death but doesn't tell him... The minister is willing to compensate and support the elderly for the innocent people. Please forgive me!"

Speaking of this, the emperor softened his expression and planned to go down the steps and punish him lightly.

However, Shen Zaiye had guessed the emperor's thoughts early in the morning, and even gave King Jing a wink.

Mu Wuyin understood and immediately stood up with a box of evidence: "Father, my son still has a lawsuit to sue!"

"Hmm?" He was slightly stunned, and the emperor looked at him in confusion: "What are you going to sue?"

"My son complained to Prince Yu, colluding with Taipu Meng, and embezzled hundreds of thousands of silver to build a horse farm! This is not only the case. The court bought horses from Fanbian several times before, and each time Taipu Meng would make hundreds of thousands of oil and water, and half of them were put into King Yu's pocket! The borers devoured the country and damaged the fortune of our Great Wei. I also asked my father to observe clearly and punish him severely!"

The loud voice echoed in the yamen, and everyone was shocked.

King Yu's face turned pale and he almost couldn't kneel down. Mu Wuyin looked back at him, his eyes full of pride.

However, he did not look up at the emperor on the seat, and Emperor Mingde's face was not much better than King Yu.
