Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Father..." Nalan Meng was stunned.

It turned out that her father had already seen that she was interested in King Xian. She thought she was hiding it very deeply, but he still found out.

"Okay, Meng'er, I still have something to do as a father, let's take a step first!" At this time, Lord Nalan said.

Nalan Meng hurriedly said, "Send father off."

After Nalan Jun smiled and waved at her, he took Fu Bo back to his room.

After returning to the room, he looked at Uncle Fu, flicked his sleeves coldly, with a majestic expression on his face, "Uncle Fu, Ben Hou has a few things that I want to entrust to you."

"Master Hou, please tell me." Uncle Fu said seriously.

Nalan Jun took out a letter, handed it to Uncle Fu, and said seriously: "Here is a letter, all the things that the Marquis entrusted to you are in this letter. Remember, you must do what the Marquis said, There must be no slack, let alone any mistakes!"

"Yes, this subordinate knows." After Fu Bo finished speaking, he quickly took the letter.

Then, he quickly walked out of the room with the letter in hand.

At night, Li Wangfu

"My lord, Master Jiang Ningjiang and the others are seeking an audience outside." While Chu Xuanchen was processing official documents in the study, Mo Li walked in and said.

"Master Jiang Ning? Mo Li, please come in." Chu Xuanchen said, putting down the brush in his hand.

Soon, Mo Li brought Jiang Ning and his party into the study.

After entering the study, they immediately saluted Chu Xuanchen, "See you, my lord."

Chu Xuanchen immediately said: "My lords, please excuse me."

As he spoke, he helped Jiang Ning up and said, "Master Jiang, Master Yang, why are you here?"

Jiang Ning worried: "My lord, I heard that Princess Li is missing?"

"Yes, we heard that the princess was kidnapped by bad guys, is this true?" Yang Shixun asked nervously.

Hearing everyone's questions, Chu Xuanchen lowered his eyes uncomfortably, "It's true, the concubine has been taken away for a long time, and this king has always wanted to rescue her, but the emperor has never let her go."

Jiang Ning sighed, and comforted: "My lord, please don't worry, the princess is auspicious, she will be fine."

"Yes, the princess is kind-hearted in helping the world and saving people. In the dark, she must be blessed by the gods. I believe that she will be safe and sound." Yang Shixun also persuaded.

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Well, thank you."

At this time, Jiang Ning looked at Chu Xuanchen, and said solemnly: "My lord, we are here this time, and we still have some local affairs to discuss with you."

Chu Xuanchen immediately said: "Okay, let's go to the inner hall to have a talk, please."

Early the next morning, when Emperor Hongyuan came to the court and sat on the dragon chair.

Jiang Ning and the others stood up.

Holding a booklet in his hand, Jiang Ning solemnly said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Ning, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, joined the new Jiangzhou Governor Li Ping and the new Jiangzhou General Soldier Lin Cheng and others to form a party for personal gain, corrupt laws and regulations, take bribes, and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Your Majesty, I also have a copy to participate in. My subordinate Yang Shixun, when he was transferred to Yongzhou Tongzhi this year, found that Yongzhou Zhizhou He Guang and Yongzhou County Magistrate Liu Bin and others embezzled disaster relief funds. In the end, the food that the emperor bestowed on the victims was running low. Now the people in the disaster area are starving and starving, but these corrupt officials are full of fat. They use the disaster to make money and deceive others. , Regardless of the life and death of the victims, I ask the emperor to punish them severely." Yang Shixun said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also have an inscription. The ministers Shen Zhou Lin, Liu Xi and other generals corrupted the law. They led troops to seize the land of the common people and enclose it as their own manor. Not only that, they also recruited private troops and set up private weapons in the manor. Ku, training the army in private, suspected of treason..."

Prince Rui next to him heard this, his heart tightened and his face turned cold.

Why are all these ginsengs his people?

When Emperor Hongyuan heard the content of the ministers' participation in the memorial, he said angrily: "How can this be reasonable? How could such a thing happen? Come here and submit all the memorials. I want to see it myself."

"Yes." After Xu Gonggong finished speaking, he hurried down to get the memorial.

Soon, he put stacks of thick memorials on the imperial case.

Emperor Hongyuan hurriedly opened those memorials and read them carefully.

After watching for a while, his face was full of anger.

Then, he stood up angrily, smashed the memorial in his hand to the ground, and roared: "These corrupt officials really deserve to die. It's the disaster season right now, and I allocated funds for disaster relief. I didn't expect that these moths would dare to embezzle Not only that, they dared to recruit private troops and set up private arsenals, they clearly wanted to cut off the lifeline of our Great Chu and destroy the foundation of our Chu Kingdom!"

As he said that, he looked at King Xian and said, "King Xian, I will entrust this matter to you, and you will investigate thoroughly. If all these entries are true, I will not let any of them go!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." King Xian said.

Seeing that Emperor Hongyuan was so furious, Prince Rui swept towards Jiang Ning and the others angrily, with a cold expression on his face.

Prince Rui's Mansion

The weather was fine, Princess Rui was sitting in the yard, doing needlework.

In the basket next to her, there are many baby clothes she has made, as well as children's bellybands, shoes and socks.

At this time, she was sewing a bellyband for children.

Looking at the big red bellyband in her hand, she imagined how her child would wear it in the future, and couldn't help but smiled tenderly.

At this moment, Prince Rui came in angrily from outside with his hands behind his back.

Seeing this, Princess Rui was stunned for a moment, "My lord, what happened? Why are you unhappy?"

Prince Rui went to the stone bench and sat down, squinting his eyes gloomily, "Today, officials from several places came to the court to report on their duties. I didn't expect them to ginse more than half of my people before they reported their duties. I'm so angry. The king is dead!"

"What? The person who attended you? Your lord, what is going on here?" Princess Rui stopped her work and thought vigilantly.

Prince Rui said: "These people are led by Jiang Ning, the magistrate of Jiangzhou. They formed a clique with the king's people for personal gain, took bribes, and were suspected of treason. Now the emperor is very angry and has sent the virtuous king to investigate thoroughly!"

"Jiang Ning? Isn't he from Chu Xuanchen?" Princess Rui asked in surprise, "Could it be that Chu Xuanchen instructed them?"

Hearing Chu Xuanchen's name, Prince Rui narrowed his eyes coldly, "It's more or less inseparable. These officials who petitioned for impeachment are all Chu Xuanchen's people. This Chu Xuanchen, he must blame me for bringing him back. Beijing, the one who instigated these local officials to impeach me! Now a large number of people in this king are under investigation, once the emperor finds out their crimes, wouldn’t this king lose a large number of people?"

As he said that, he stood up "crazyly" and snorted heavily, looking extremely irritable.

Princess Rui hurriedly put down the little bellyband in her hand, she got up quickly, stepped forward and stroked Prince Rui's chest, and comforted her: "My lord, calm down, this matter has come unprepared, it's useless for you to be anxious now, instead you messed up like the other party Don’t worry, let’s take a long-term plan and think carefully about the countermeasures.”
