Chapter 53: Evidence
Bei Liangye suddenly spoke. Those who participated in the performance at the beginning were a little unsure and looked at each other in confusion.
"Prince, what are you talking about? Since you are a role model for the country, you are naturally under everyone's supervision." Anyway, Bei Liangye was offended at first, so now he had to bite the bullet.
Hearing this, before Bei Liangye had time to speak, the emperor slapped the table in front of him angrily, "That's enough. Don't pay too much attention to the prince's private life."
These people are really endless. They have time to care about Bei Liangye's personal life every day, but they have no time to help him solve some national affairs.
Once or twice is enough, but if it goes on for so long, these people maintain their status as veteran ministers, but they repeatedly interfere in Beiliangye's personal love life, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied.
Originally, they just talked about this matter with the intention of complaining, but they did not expect that the emperor would be angry, and they suddenly became angry and did not dare to breathe.
"Are you all free? If you are so concerned about the prince's personal love life, when will you focus on my country?" The emperor snorted coldly, stood up and took the opportunity to express his condolences.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Seeing that the Emperor was really angry and had just straightened his back, the extremely stubborn veteran immediately knelt down with a plop and begged for forgiveness.
Bei Liangye really didn't expect that his father would actually speak up for him at this time, and he couldn't help but look highly at this father.
"Okay, don't always get involved in the prince's emotional affairs in the future. If you don't have anything to do today, just leave it like that." After the emperor finished speaking, he immediately walked away.
After the emperor left, everyone also left the court one after another.
However, one person did not leave, but stood in the lobby wondering what he was thinking.
After hesitating for a moment, Beiliangye decided to go to the emperor.
When the emperor was about to review the memorial, the eunuch sent Beiliang Ye to see him.
Seeing Bei Liangye coming, the emperor simply put down the memorial. His son had never dealt with him and rarely came to his place. He didn't know why he came here at this time.
The emperor saw Bei Liangye with doubts in his heart, "Prince, what do you want to see me at this time?"
"It's nothing, I just came to see my father." Bei Liangye's tone was rare and gentle.
The emperor naturally noticed that Bei Liangye's tone was much gentler, and couldn't help but look at him sideways.
He is not a stupid person, so he can naturally think that Bei Liangye's attitude changed because of what he said in the court.
"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you come and play chess with your father?" the emperor said tentatively.
"Yes." This time, Beiliangye did not refuse, but directly agreed.
After hearing this, the emperor was in a good mood and immediately sent someone to prepare the chessboard.
If this scene were seen by those who read Bei Liangye today, they would regret it half to death.
In doing so, they did not put the emperor and Bei Liangye at odds with each other, but also indirectly eased their relationship. It can be said that the gains outweighed the losses.
Beiliangye rarely cooperates like this, so the emperor will naturally not let him go easily.
The two of them went from daytime to sunset, and Bei Liangye put down the chess pieces in his hands.
"It's already getting late, so I won't bother you. I'll accompany my father next time." Bei Liangye bowed his hands to the emperor and then retreated.
"Eh..." The emperor wanted to say something more, but Bei Liangye was already a little far away, so he shook his head and said no more.
Seeing Beiliangye despising the royal power so much, the eunuch beside the emperor secretly sweated for him.
Originally, he thought the emperor would lose his temper, and the eunuch lowered his head without daring to raise his head.
But after a while, the eunuch did not wait for the emperor's angry roar.
When he quietly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, he found that the emperor seemed to be lost in some memory, his eyes were straight, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
The eunuch only dared to take a cursory glance and immediately lowered his head.
In this deep palace, it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, your head may fall to the ground, so you can only survive in this deep palace by being careful.
After leaving the palace, Bei Liangye returned directly to the prince's residence.
The first thing Bei Liangye did when he returned to the mansion was to ask about Ruan Wanwan's whereabouts.
After learning that she was in the room, he quickly walked to Ruan Wanwan's room.
"What are you busy with?" Bei Liangye asked doubtfully after pushing the door open and finding Ruan Wanwan writing and drawing on paper with a pen.
Hearing this, Ruan Wanwan raised his eyes slightly, saw Bei Liangye coming, and quickly pulled him to sit next to him.
"I have a problem here, please take a look at it." As she said that, Ruan Wanwan directly threw the problem she couldn't understand to Bei Liangye.
Seeing Ruan Wanwan's paper filled with notes, Bei Liangye thought highly of her.
Ruan Wanwan didn't understand the problem, so Bei Liangye looked through it and solved it for her.
In her plan to save the restaurant, Bei Liangye can be said to have contributed a lot.
During this period, Ruan Wanwan not only wrote and drew on paper, she also went on field trips.
"I found some problems." Ruan Wanwan said after Beiliangye helped her solve the problem.
Hearing this, Bei Liangye stopped what he was doing and looked at her suspiciously, as if he was waiting for her next words.
"It was during my time at the restaurant that I discovered that someone in the court seemed to be collecting taxes for personal gain." Ruan Wanwan shared her findings.
Hearing this, Bei Liangye frowned. There was actually someone in the court seeking personal gain in this regard.
Because some people who make a living in small shops do not live a wealthy life. If there are still people seeking personal gain in this area, it will make their lives even worse.
And if this goes on for a long time, they will think it is an order from above and become disappointed with the country. This is not good news.
"Are you sure?" Bei Liangye asked with caution, looking at Ruan Wanwan seriously.
If Ruan Wanwan was not sure, she would not tell him, so she nodded, "Sure."
Hearing this, Bei Liangye's eyes narrowed slightly, and the aura around him changed.
"Don't be impulsive. This matter still needs to be discussed over a long period of time, and all evidence must be paid attention to." Ruan Wanwan took Bei Liangye's arm.
After listening to Ruan Wanwan's words, Bei Liangye nodded, indicating that he would not be impulsive.
After all, this matter was discovered by Ruan Wanwan after he took over the restaurant. It can be seen that people who seek personal gain from tax collection did not start taking action recently.
