Out of the first month, Guangxi sent an excerpt to the imperial front, which tells the story of the corruption and bribery case of Lin Chengyu, the same knowledge of Qinzhou.

After reading this excerpt, the emperor said to Yuanbao: "Go and call Fu Shilang." ”

Fu Jingene actually got the news earlier, but he didn't take the initiative to intervene in this matter to avoid suspicion.

When the emperor saw him, he handed him the excerpt of the Guangxi envoy and said: "Jian Wei has verified that your father-in-law accepted bribes for personal gain, robbed the lives of the people's daughters, and used his power to oppress and exploit the people. ”

Fu Jingene's heart tightened after reading the excerpt, and the heavier sentence for these crimes was a capital crime.

"Why don't you speak?"

Fu Jingene said: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If the minister's father-in-law has violated the law, he will be punished according to the law. ”

The Emperor was satisfied with his answer, nodded and said, "If only all the officials could be like you." ”

Fu Jingene said: "Your Majesty, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the minister's father-in-law wrote a letter to the minister's wife. He said that the prefect of Qinzhou not only took advantage of the people and exploited them, but also disregarded the lives of the people. Besides, my father-in-law has been in Qinzhou for so many years, if he really robbed the people's daughter and Cao Kan's life, why didn't he expose him until today. ”

He will not help Lin Chengyu get rid of his crimes, but he will never let him take the blame for others.

The emperor sighed and deliberately asked, "Since he asked you for help, your daughter-in-law didn't let you help him out?" ”

Fu Jingene did not hide it from the emperor, and said: "The minister's wife was very sad when she received the letter, and she couldn't eat or sleep for several days, but she didn't ask the minister to help him find a relationship to get rid of the crime. The minister knew that she didn't want me to be embarrassed. The emperor is determined to rectify the rule of officials, and if the ministers help him get rid of his crimes, and other courtiers do the same, then the emperor's decree may become a dead letter. ”

After a pause, Fu Jingene said again: "Your Majesty, what the minister's father-in-law said in the letter cannot be groundless. The emperor and the minister proposed to send Wang Shaoqing to Qinzhou to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”

This Wang Shaoqing's surname is Wang Zisong, and he was promoted by the emperor last year to take over the position of Shaoqing of Fu Jingene Dali Temple. This person is not afraid of power, and he killed the prefect's evil son when he was in office.

Not long after he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple last year, he met the young son of Wei Guogong who was making trouble on the street and arrested him. As soon as this happened, everyone knew that he was a hard bone. If he handles the corruption case in Guangxi, he can also block the mouths of the public.

The emperor glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that you have already thought about it." ”

Fu Jingene didn't deny it, but just said: "The minister can't know the law and break the law, but he can't let the minister and the father-in-law be slandered and framed." ”

The emperor nodded and said, "Then as you are wronged, I will go to Guangxi to investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

can agree so happily, it is because the problem in Guangxi is more serious, and he originally wanted to move. Lin Chengyu's case just gave a ready-made reason.

Fu Jingene thought for a while and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Queen Mother promised the Zhang family that the emperor would canonize the nine girls of the Zhang family as concubines when the emperor removed filial piety." Originally, the minister thought it was just a rumor spread by someone in the city, but it was confirmed that this rumor was indeed from the Zhang family. ”

Because Zhenguo Gong said that after the snow melts, the Jin people will attack Tongcheng in a big way. Therefore, during this time, the emperor was busy mobilizing soldiers, horses, weapons, and grain and grass to Tongcheng.

Zhen Guogong's return to Beijing this time was not just because of Yi'an's affairs, but mainly to prepare for the upcoming war. With the support of the emperor, there will be no worries.

The emperor nodded and said, "I know." ”

He knew about this at the end of last year, and for this reason, he specially told the Queen Mother that he would not accept a concubine within five years of marriage. However, the Queen Mother didn't take his words seriously, and it was impossible for him to explain them to the Zhang family and people outside.

The Queen Mother wants to give him a concubine, but he can't agree to send a woman to his bed.

On this day, Fu Jingene went home early, but when he got home, he realized that Qingshu had gone to the girls' school and had not returned. As for Fu Ge'er, he was playing with Fu Ran in the toy room.

The sky will be dark and clear before returning.

Fu Jingene said: "You are inconvenient now, and the matter of women's studies will be handed over to the people below in the future." ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "There are a few children in the women's school who are very talented, and I arranged for them to be the apprentices of the master. Why did you come back so early today? ”

"Today, Guangxi has made an excerpt and stated my father-in-law's case to the emperor, and the emperor specially asked me to go over and ask my opinion."

Qingshu hurriedly asked, "The emperor asked for your opinion?" He violated the law and discipline, and dealt with it according to the law, and asked you what to do. ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "If we don't ask and punish my father-in-law severely, the emperor is also worried about what we will think." Don't worry, I have already stated that I will judge according to the law, and if I really break the law, I will be punished by the law. ”

"What crime have you committed?"

After hearing what Fu Jingene said, Qingshu's face was a little unpleasant: "I'm not sure about the others, but it's impossible to rob people's girls." My father's career is not a good woman, and it is impossible for Cui's tigress to let him take a concubine. ”

As far as she knows, Lin Chengyu has not taken a concubine until now, only the Cui family has her side.

Fu Jingene snorted and said: "So I propose to send Wang Zisong to Guangxi to investigate this matter thoroughly, if he is wronged, Wang Zisong will definitely be able to find out." ”

Wang Zisong's ambition is to become a blue sky lord like Lan Yi, so he will definitely find out this case.

Qingshu nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Lin Chengyu knew that he was punished for breaking the law, and he was to blame, and she stood in the righteousness of others, and others were blameless. But if Lin Chengyu is framed, she can't ignore it.

Fu Jingene said: "I told the emperor about the Zhang family today, and the emperor looked very indifferent after hearing it, and only said that he knew." ”

Qing Shu was not surprised by this, and said: "The Zhang family is acting in such a high-profile manner, it is impossible for the emperor not to know. It's just that I don't understand why the Zhang family did this. Now there is a lot of uproar, and when the emperor does not accept Zhang Wenwen as a concubine, where will they put the face of their Zhang family. ”

Fu Jingene sneered and said, "If the people of the Zhang family were smart, they wouldn't have raised a daughter like Zhang Yi." You don't have to take them to heart, the Zhang family doesn't have to worry about it. ”

"The Zhang family is not worried, but they have the support of the Queen Mother! Coupled with the Queen Mother's style, she will definitely be incompatible with Yi'an in the future. ”

Fu Jingene looked stunned and said: "Don't worry about this kind of thing, I believe that under the teaching of the eldest princess, Wu Yi'an can deal with the Queen Mother." ”

Qingshu nodded and said, "That's right, with the support of the eldest princess, the queen mother doesn't dare to embarrass her too much." ”

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "Okay, I'm hungry, let's eat!" ”

Brother Fu and Mu Chen eat every day when they arrive, and they will not wait for them. This is also requested by Fu Ran, in order to develop good habits.
