"Do you have something to say?" Fu Yuheng looked up from a pile of papers and looked at Shen Qingwan who seemed to be hesitant to speak. He was a little surprised. When did she become so reserved
"It's not a big deal, I just suddenly thought of what happened a few days ago, and I seem to have forgotten to mention it to the emperor." She removed the hand that was supporting her cheek, raised her eyes and looked at him.
"Oh? What's that?" Hearing her say that, his interest was piqued. It was actually forgotten, so it must not be an important matter. But since he had a headache because of the memorial just now, he was willing to listen.
She stuck out her tongue playfully, then slowly spoke, "A few days ago, when I met Qing Ling, I encountered some trivial matters, but I still care about it." She did frown slightly here, "The nephew of Minister Li is domineering in this capital, and he doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all, so I can't stand it. I hope the emperor can pay attention to the officials' usual style." Knowing that now, when she thought of the attitude of the servant at that time, she still felt a little angry.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng put down the pen in his hand. At the beginning, he just saw her bringing Qing Ling into the palace, but he did not ask in detail about the reason at that time. But now it seems that there is something he doesn't know.
"Can you tell me in detail?" He stared at her and stopped dealing with the cases on the table. He became interested in this matter. What's more, what she said made a lot of sense. After all, the people are the foundation of the world. If the people are not safe, how can there be a prosperous and peaceful world
To a certain extent, the style of officials also represents the degree of importance the court attaches to the people. Court officials are already receiving salaries from the court, but if they exploit the people on the other hand, it can be said that they are deceiving their superiors and concealing the truth from their subordinates.
"Yeah." Shen Qingwan nodded and told the story one by one. The person in front of her frowned even deeper after hearing it.
This could be said to be done right under his nose, and he dared to do this. Moreover, it was disrespectful to his concubine. Even if he did not know her identity at the time, he could not be said to be completely innocent.
Seeing that he had taken her words to heart, she stopped talking and said that he would have to make his own decisions on other matters. In addition, she actually had a selfish motive for this action. She really wanted to suppress the boy's arrogance.
"Sun Ning!" He suddenly shouted to the outside of the door, which caught everyone off guard.
"Your Majesty." Sun Ning hurried in from outside and wiped the non-existent cold sweat off his face. What was the matter with this gentleman that made him come in so urgently? In the past, as long as Shen Qingwan was around, he would not ask him to do anything. But today was very surprising.
"Go and call Minister Li to me." Fu Yuheng tapped the table with his fingers interlaced, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Before, he was aware that Li Yuhang was close to Prime Minister Liu, but there were too many people to be dealt with recently, so he had put him aside for the time being. Now was the opportunity to give him a warning.
"You go to the back first." Pointing at the screen behind, Shen Qingwan understood and did not stay any longer. She followed the palace maid to the back, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Li Yuhang's residence was not far from the imperial palace. It didn't take long for him to arrive at the imperial study.
"Minister Li has been very idle recently." He raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile, "Is this Kyoto to your liking?"
After hearing these few words, people broke out in a cold sweat. The meaning of these words can be big or small.
In a small way, it was just asking him how he was doing recently? But if it was a big thing, who would dare to judge whether Kyoto was to his liking? This world was not originally his, so whether it was to his liking should also be to the liking of the emperor.
Li Yuhang's face turned pale all of a sudden, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please understand. I have no second thoughts towards you!" His back was already covered in cold sweat, and he lay on the ground, refusing to get up.
"Ah? When did I say that you have two hearts?" He asked in a puzzled manner, which made people feel relieved, but also more worried about whether his meaning was that simple. "I heard that you have a nephew. Is this true?"
Fu Yuheng looked down at him, the rhythm of the tapping of his fingertips made his heart beat faster.
"This..." This made him even more flustered. Why would the emperor mention his nephew for no reason? If he hadn't had any problems, then his useless nephew must have caused some trouble again. But since he could know about it, it must be no small matter.
His body was shaking like a sieve, but he still had to answer truthfully, "Your Majesty, I do have a nephew in Kyoto, but he is not close to me, so I have never taken care of him." The most important thing now is to get rid of the relationship with him first, but he still couldn't help but ask tentatively: "But what did my nephew do to displease the emperor?"
He would glance at him from time to time, fearing that he would be accused of a crime if his expression changed.
"In that case, I'm sure that if I punish him, you will not stop me, right?" He obviously didn't believe his answer. Since he said so, he would do as he said.
There was a calculating smile in his eyes, and only people who were close to him would notice that at this moment he was like a fox, and his slightly narrowed phoenix eyes were already tinged with coldness.
"Minister, everything is up to the emperor." At this time, he was basically certain that his nephew must have caused some trouble and had some resentment towards him. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been called to the imperial study and suffered a lecture in vain.
At this time, he didn't know that when he colluded with Prime Minister Liu, the spies sent by Fu Yuheng to be by his side had already told the most powerful man in the world everything.
"I am also very helpless about my nephew. He has been ignorant and unlearned since he was young. I have advised him countless times, but he just won't listen." He sighed and put on a helpless expression, as if he really had no idea what to do with his nephew. "I didn't expect that he would cause such a big disaster now. As his uncle, I hope that the emperor will handle it impartially."
What he said was so righteous that no one could find any fault with him.
"In that case, I will punish him with fifty strokes of the cane. As for you, my dear, since you are the elder, you have the responsibility to manage. If you fail to discipline him strictly, I will punish you with twenty strokes of the cane."
A cold voice came from above, causing him to collapse to the ground. After fifty strokes of the cane, he would basically be crippled.
