Chapter 10 Her Royal Highness Princess
Emperor Corning pushed a bunch of memorials on the table to the side, rubbed his eyebrows, and had a bit of tiredness on his face.
Mulin can become Emperor Corning's confidant eunuch, and observing words and expressions is naturally a basic skill. He asked in a low voice: "Do you want to rest for a while before you lose your body."
Emperor Corning waved his hand. Mulin didn't say much, but just kept this in his heart, intending to tell her when Princess Ning Rong entered the palace.
After his Majesty ascended the throne for sixteen years, he had great power in both the previous dynasty and the harem. There were basically few people who could change his mind when he made the decision.
Only Princess Ning Rong's words were willing to listen to them.
Mulin was thinking about Hengyu when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Hengyu walking into the hall in the gentle sunshine. His face immediately smiled, and he bent down to look at Emperor Kangning, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is coming to the palace to see you."
Of course, the only princess who can enter this Qinzheng Hall without notice is the most favored Princess Ning Rong.
When Heng Yu entered the hall, he saw her father rubbing his eyebrows. She glanced at Mulin and asked with her eyes. Mulin nodded invisibly.
Heng Yu understood, and she walked around the table where there were a bunch of memorials, walked behind Emperor Kangning, and half bent down to rub the acupoints on his head.
Although Heng Yu did not know professional massage techniques, she felt much more comfortable after she did this.
After pressing for a while, Emperor Kangning asked Hengyu to stop. He held Hengyu's hand and asked her to sit down beside him, "Just let the palace maid do these things. You are a princess, how can you help me with massage?"
Heng Yu nodded and shook his head.
Emperor Corning saw what she meant and felt happy again.
His Yu'er is so considerate. No matter how well the palace maid presses, no matter how touching the touching daughter is, there is no place that touches her.
An eunuch already brought tea to Hengyu. Hengyu picked it up and drank it slowly. Emperor Kangning pointed to the memorials and said to Hengyu: "A little man from the sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Justice can actually cause such a big impeachment from the court. Should I say that Qiao Yue is so brave or should I sigh at the chaos in the court."
Emperor Kangning only said these things to Heng Yu.
Heng Yu pointed to the memorial and looked at Emperor Corning and asked a little inquiry. Emperor Corning picked up the memorial placed on the top and spread it out for Heng Yu to see.
Heng Yu looked at it and basically said that Qiao Yue was wrong, acted recklessly, and slandered the imperial officials. These were just empty words. Even if his literary talent was outstanding, Heng Yu glanced at him and stopped paying attention. What really surprised her was the last signature of the memorial, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the first person under the Ministry of Revenue, and the second leader of the Ministry of Revenue.
No wonder Emperor Corning was so angry.
It is not surprising that officials in the court have corruption. The salary given by the court is indeed not high. Some filial piety, such as Bing Jing Tan, are tacitly accused of the court.
Qiao Yue was the first to be a sixth-rank official, and he was familiar with the laws of the Great Wei since he was a child and had handled many cases. When he first arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he was arranged to sort out previous years' files, but he actually solved some old unsolved cases. At that time, Emperor Corning thought that Qiao Yue was indeed a talent. If he had not been promoted again before he had been in office for too long, Emperor Corning planned to move him upwards.
However, although I couldn't move it for a while, I remembered it in my heart.
Who knew that Qiao Yue was quite naughty. When he sorted out the unsolved cases in previous years, he found a case of suspiciousness. After investigation, he found that it was implicated in the governor of Xizhou. Xizhou was remote and close to the Huns. After investigation, he even involved the radish with mud, which suddenly involved many people, including high-ranking officials and powerful people in the capital.
In cases like corruption, a person is not clean and the arrests are always continuous.
So some time ago, Emperor Kangning praised Qiao Yue and felt that he had great potential for young talents. Now he was upset when he saw Qiao Yue's name. He also felt upset when he saw the old face of Wang Tao, the Minister of Justice.
Administration has always been a top priority in the monarch's mind. Didn't Emperor Kangning know about the corruption among his subordinates? He knew, but he almost acquiesced. But if even the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue began to be anxious, then would the amount of corruption among his subordinates be much more powerful than he imagined?
Heng Yu had already guessed the hidden worries in Emperor Kangning's heart.
She held the pen and wrote: "Qiao Yue is the chess piece that throws stones and asks for directions, and the father will just wait and see what happens."
The source of corruption is so chaotic, so the following paths are probably even more chaotic.
Emperor Kangning was silent and nodded. After a while, he sighed again: "The heavy snow in Xu County, Xizhou was hit by the 500,000 taels of silver that the Ministry of Revenue poured into the Ministry of Revenue. How many can it be used for the people of Xu County?"
He has always claimed to be a wise ruler and has also advocated it as a wise ruler of all dynasties. Who knew that he had fallen into this matter now. How could he not be angry?
Heng Yu handed the teacup to Emperor Kangning to moisten his throat.
She had been with Emperor Corning for a long time, and although she had never deliberately understood it, one thing she knew was that the emperor governed the world and although he had great power, the world was actually governed by the emperor and scholars.
Scholars are the eyes and ears of the emperor and manage the place on behalf of the emperor. It is never difficult to listen to anything below. Most of the time, what the emperor knows is the content presented to him by officials.
Therefore, administration is the top priority for the emperor to govern the country.
Corruption has been happening throughout the dynasties and has been repeatedly banned. It would be fine if it was not exposed. Now that it has been exposed, Emperor Kangning does not want such an opportunity to rectify the officialdom in vain. So although he was angry with Qiao Yue's stubbornness and ignorance, he left all the memorials that impeached Qiao Yue and were not sent out.
After Heng Yu returned to the princess's mansion from the palace, it was almost evening. Every time she entered the palace, she would visit the queen, Concubine Shu, and lunch was used with the emperor and the queen, while dinner was used in the Anqing Palace of Concubine Shu.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she asked someone to call the head of the princess's mansion to call on it.
"Your Highness, Princess." After the guard leader came, he saluted the princess. The light armor on his body made a slight collision.
Heng Yu handed him the paper he had just written.
The guards of the Princess Mansion sent to her by Emperor Kangning were all from Jinwu Guards. The Jinwu Guards were the most elite troops in the capital. They always stayed in the city to guard the imperial city, and only followed the emperor's orders. When Hengyu opened the mansion, Emperor Kangning was not worried about her safety, and the guards they gave her were carefully selected from the Jinwu Guards.
The force is indeed very high, and then the appearance is...
Very good too.
So her father really cares about her love for beauty.
The guard leader was only thirty years old and tall and handsome. He took the paper handed over by Heng Yu and glanced at it. Without asking the reason, he bowed and bowed directly, "I will do it now."
Heng Yu nodded and told him to retreat.
So when Qiao Yue had just returned to a second-hand house he had bought after handling official duties, he saw the butler standing at the door of the house waiting for him.
He turned over and got off the horse, and a servant came over and led the horse down.
Before Qiao Yue could ask, the housekeeper came forward to tell him that Princess Ning Rong had sent several guards over and was waiting for Qiao Yue in the hall.
Qiao Yue was stunned, and then he checked his official uniform, which was slightly wrinkled because of riding a horse, and entered his house.
Heng Yu arranged six guards to come. Qiao Yue paused when he stepped into the hall, but nothing unusual appeared.
It is true that Princess Ning Rong likes beauty.
This time, the guard leader personally brought people over. He told Qiao Yue Heng Yu's instructions that Qiao Yue knew that he had violated the interests of many people, and many people would definitely regard him as a thorn in his eyes. But the problem is that if he accepted the guard sent by Princess Ning Rong to protect him, then what is this and Princess Ning Rong? Even if both of them have nothing, they will be verbal.
So even though Qiao Yue needed the guards very much, he still decisively refused.
When the guard leader came back to report his life, Heng Yu had just finished practicing calligraphy in the study. When he knew that Qiao Yue had declined, he was still stunned.
Hongxiu, who was standing next to Hengyu, asked, "Mr. Qiao has explained the reason?"
The head of the guard shook his head, but his expression showed a little strangeness, and he wanted to speak but stopped.
Heng Yu saw it and raised his eyebrows. He didn't say anything, and waved his hand and let him go down. As a result, when he turned around, he found that Hongxiu also had a look of wanting to speak but stopping.
Heng Yu nodded at Hongxiu, so she might as well say something.
Hongxiu was not there when Heng Yu ordered this before. She only learned about it when the guard leader reported it.
If Hongxiu was present when Hengyu gave instructions, she would definitely dissuade the princess. The emperor could give him someone, but what kind of identity should the princess give him?
Qiao Yue is not only an official, but also an unmarried young talent.
So Hongxiu said in a low voice, "Princess, this is not in line with etiquette."
Heng Yu finally realized that she felt that she was in a reputation for loving beauty, but she didn't care about this matter, but forgot that she didn't care, but it would be more difficult for Qiao Yue to care about it.
The emperor would not send guards to Qiao Yue. After all, at this time, he planned to ask Qiao Yue to throw a stone to ask for directions, so he naturally would not show his attitude of favoring one of them.
But Qiao Yue’s current situation is not very good. If you don’t pay attention, you will probably explain it before the matter is resolved.
Heng Yu thought about it and wrote a letter to the Queen's parents' Ye family.
The Ye family is a family of generals. Nowadays, most of the guards in the mansion are soldiers who retreated from the front line. The soldiers baptized by war are even more powerful than the Jinwu Guard who grew up in a comfortable environment.
Hengyu wrote a letter asking the Ye Mansion to send a few guards to Qiao Yue Mansion to protect him.
The sender rushed to the Ye Mansion before the curfew and presented the letter. The head of the Ye family, the old general Ye who was over 60 years old, sighed after reading the letter, and handed the letter to his son who was sitting at his head.
After reading the letter, Ye Nian frowned, "If we really borrowed people, wouldn't we offend many officials?"
General Ye glanced at his eldest son and warned: "Our Ye Mansion is only loyal to the Lord."
The Ye Mansion was granted the title of Duke and another queen was released. If he not only had his own troops, but also had some connections and collusion with the officials in the court, it would be difficult for the emperor to tolerate the Ye Mansion.
Ye Nian was shocked and immediately bowed.
"The request of Princess Ning Rong..." Ye Nian asked carefully when he saw his old father closing his eyes and calmly closed his voice.
"So you agree." Old General Ye opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He handed the letter to the candlelight, and watched the flames burn the letter paper little by little. A gust of wind blew, and the ashes were no longer visible.
