Yu Wenxi glanced at him, cupped his hands and said to the emperor: "Officials accept bribes, mostly on the grounds of birthday and wedding banquets, and accept a large amount of property, which is naturally included in corruption."
Huachun was silent.
He Chang'an came back last time to remind her that she hadn't paid much attention to it, and now she is really screwed up, and she was accused of corruption for doing nothing, is she wronged or not!
If this had happened when she first came here, Yu Wenjie would have punished her without saying a word. Fortunately, the current emperor is more humane. Hearing what Prince Xi said, he didn't condemn her right away. Instead, he was silent for a while and said:
"The things in the Huafu haven't been opened yet. They were indeed gifts from others, and depending on the situation, Prime Minister Hua didn't know about it. In such a situation, I will discuss with the Queen Mother before making a conclusion. As for the others, the evidence is convincing. Search the mansion first. Lock it up in the sky prison and deal with it later."
Prince Xi raised his eyebrows, glanced at the emperor in surprise, and then looked back at Hua Jinghua.
The emperor seems to be a lot more sensible, and he wouldn't deliberately make things difficult for the prime minister. He thought that with such an opportunity, Yu Wenjie would definitely not protect Prime Minister Hua.
It seems that he thought too simply.
Hua Chun heaved a sigh of relief and knelt down to thank her. The rest of the people didn't know what was going on at home. The emperor and the prince went out in person, making it clear that there was no chance to quibble. They looked at each other, kowtowed, then got up tremblingly, and followed the guards to the dungeon.
Looking at Tang Taishi's old back, Hua Chun still couldn't bear it. After all, he is also a veteran who supports the emperor. Although he may not be able to resist the temptation of money, without him, the emperor would be regarded as missing a supporting hand.
Prince Xi's action was really ruthless, she would not believe anything about "it happened suddenly". Every official's family has been checked so clearly, it is clear that there is a premeditated plan, and maybe a trap has been set up, just waiting for these people to exploit.
At first, Hua Chun thought that Prince Xi might really be jealous of evil by doing this, and wanted to restore the cleanliness of the court. But now, if you take a closer look at the people who were taken away, most of them belonged to the royal party, and a few were also people with important official positions. Is it really just a coincidence
"Third Brother, you have worked hard today." Yu Wenjie said, "Let's go back and rest first. I will take the Prime Minister to the Queen Mother to pay her respects."
"Your brother obeys the order." Prince Xi smiled, saluted very gracefully, then glanced at Hua Chun, and backed out.
Hua Chun pursed her lips.
She could clearly feel that Yu Wenjie was protecting her, which was also rare, if she went to the Queen Mother, she would definitely not blame her, and maybe she would help her escape, then she would basically escape the disaster.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little scared. She has always come to this place with the intention of having fun, but she didn't expect that swords, swords, shadows and assassins still exist, and vigilance is really indispensable.
"Prime Minister."
When there were only the two of them in the hall, the emperor said rather displeasedly: "Didn't Chang'an already remind you? Why did someone take advantage of the loophole?"
With a chill on his back, Hua Chun hurriedly kowtowed: "I'm not careful, the newlyweds are too busy, and there are too many congratulatory gifts in the backyard, so I didn't have time to clean them up."
"If I didn't know that you are like this, and I don't have the guts to embezzle so much, you would have to be imprisoned with them in the prison now." Yu Wenjie said in a deep voice: "Then I will be alone and helpless in the court, and it will take several years It takes a year to re-train your own people.”
Slightly taken aback, Hua Chun looked up at him in surprise.
He also understands that Hua Jinghua is his man? ! Now that you understand it, why do you keep embarrassing your own people!
"You get up first." Yu Wenjie got off the dragon chair and walked to her side, his expression was very serious, but he spoke a lot more intimately: "Be more prepared, you don't want to see anyone except Zhen and Chang'an these few days."
"Ah?" Hua Chun was slightly stunned: "Why?"
stupid? The emperor said angrily, "Can't you see that Prince Xi wants to attack you?"
It seems that I can see it, but... Hua Chun scratched his head: "As long as the emperor believes in this minister, no matter what the prince does, this minister will be able to protect himself."
"Naive!" Yu Wenjie's face darkened: "The next time he has more evidence, he will crucify you to death, not to mention me, even if you add the Queen Mother, it will not save you. Don't say that you are not afraid The shadow is slanted, in this court, no matter how righteous you are, people can slant you, you can't help it."
Huachun was silent.
She understood these truths a long time ago, but she never expected to hear them again from Yu Wenjie's mouth now.
It seems that Hua Jinghua's small thoughts are not without rewards, at least the emperor cares about her very much and doesn't want to lose her.
Although this concern may not be the same as what Hua Jinghua wanted.
Sighing, she nodded: "Wei Chen understands."
"Then let's go." Yu Wenjie said, "Follow me to Zichen Hall to rest."
"What?" Hua Chun was taken aback for a moment, "Aren't you going to pay the empress dowager?"
"It's just talking, you don't have to take it seriously." Yu Wenjie said as he walked, "Let me remind you, the queen mother may favor you in other matters, because you are a good prime minister with both loyalty and righteousness. But once you meet Prince Xi, Don't get your hopes up."
Prince Xi is also born of the Empress Dowager. Although the Empress Dowager has always been general-minded and fair, she will always be more tolerant of this lovable third son. Protect him and don't allow anyone to hurt him.
With such a queen mother, Yu Wenjie was very troubled.
Hua Chun nodded, although she didn't understand why, but the current emperor couldn't harm her, so she had better listen.
"Then why don't you go to pay your respects, what else do you want to do in Zichen Hall?" She said, "It's time to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
The emperor paused and turned around: "Are you so late to go back?"
"...No." Hua Chun shook his head, but there is nothing to do in this palace, so it's better to go back and be with Qing Niao. It's not good to throw her into the mansion on the second day of the wedding, right
"Then stay in the palace." Yu Wenjie said: "It's not safe recently, so you just stay by my side. Anyway, you hurt your hand, and you can't change the official documents at all. Why don't you read the scriptures to me."
Huachun: "..."
Prime Minister Nima was already a hard-working clerk, but now he has to directly transform into a senior secretary? Do you still have to ask: "Would you like something to drink? coffee, tea, or cocacola?"
What a fucking dog.
There was ten thousand reluctance in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, she still could only nod with a compensatory smile: "Zunzhi."
The dignified prime minister, after hurting his hand, he wanted to fight the eunuch for his job. Huachun felt very melancholy.
However, when she arrived at the back hall of Zichen Hall, looking at the table full of snacks and tea, she suddenly felt that being a eunuch would be pretty good, at least there would be no work pressure, and she could just serve the uncle well.
"As expected, there was still corruption in the disaster relief." The emperor looked at the scripture and said, "Maybe your original idea was right."
Nonsense, it was right in the first place, but those people thought it was troublesome and touched their cake, so they refused. It's better now, it's all taken away by Prince Xi, and I regret that I don't have any medicine.
"Is the emperor still planning to use that plan?" she asked.
Yu Wenjie didn't answer, but found out the papers she used to write and draw, and thought about it seriously.
After a long time, he said, "Yes."
After going around such a big circle, don't you have to admit her in the end? Hua Chun felt happy in an instant, and her tail cocked up: "The emperor is wise!"
"You are very prescient." Yu Wenjie said: "The queen mother is right."
It was rare to praise her, Hua Chun smiled, and the whole person was happy, and quickly pointed to the things on the paper to explain a few more words to the emperor: "It can be seen from the current situation that we should put an end to corruption. Things, although troublesome, must be done. Officials are the backbone of the court, and we must not let the bones break down first."
When discussing these things, Yu Wenjie found that Hua Jinghua always exudes a very attractive vitality, like the rising sun in the morning, no dark mountains can trap him, he is destined to shine brightly.
For a moment, the emperor felt that he liked Hua Jinghua like this very much.
"...What do you think, Your Majesty?" After talking enthusiastically, Hua Chun turned her head, only to see the emperor was looking at her all the time, with a calm but focused expression.
His face turned red subconsciously.
Can a good-looking person not look at people casually, she is a face control, although she has no interest in the emperor, she will still be shy when he looks at her like this, she is a thin-skinned shy woman!
"Very good." Yu Wenjie nodded: "Let's talk about the price bureau. It's clear. I will promote someone to implement it tomorrow morning."
With his eyes brightened, Hua Chun spoke again with great confidence. After all, he is from the Department of Political Science and Law, and he also studied liberal arts in high school. He has memorized a lot of political history, and he can use his knowledge of economics.
So this talk lasted for a full half an hour, with joy and eloquence.
Yu Wenjie looked at him quietly, his gaze changed from cold and hard at the beginning to soft, and finally concluded: "I finally found out that you are actually a man."
ha? Huachun was dumbfounded.
The old lady has worked so hard to give you an idea, and said so much, in exchange for this one sentence? !
Well, although this was considered a compliment, she didn't know why, so she couldn't be happy.
"Eat something when you're tired." Yu Wenjie said, "You can rest here tonight."
Just wanting to thank you, Hua Chun was shocked when he understood the last sentence.
"Your Majesty! There is still a beautiful wife in the minister's family, absolutely not!" She looked at the emperor sitting on the seat in horror, folded her arms around her chest, and shook her head violently: "The minister's family has a family motto, and a man should be loyal to the emperor. Servant!"
Yu Wenjie: "..."
Why is it so hard to talk to this person
"I let you rest in Zichen Palace, not let you sleep." He said: "What are you pretending to be in your mind?"
