Chapter 259: Declining
When the two of them discussed the matter of corruption, Zhuang Mingyue directly took this opportunity to tell the emperor what she had heard and seen during this time, and took the essence to remove the dross.
In Zhuang Mingyue's heart, she could naturally see that the emperor had some scruples in his heart when dealing with corruption.
And it is precisely because of his consideration that those officials feel that their skills have been concealed, not only to fool the emperor easily, but also to fool the past many times.
In Zhuang Mingyue's opinion, if there are too many such things, if you don't stop them in time, I'm afraid it will be too late to stop them in the future.
Zhuang Mingyue, who was thinking like this, spoke again: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin thinks that about corruption, no matter what happened in the past, what you are worried about in your heart, it has reached the point where it must be solved as soon as possible, and it is necessary to cut it off completely with a quick knife." ”
Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help frowning a little distressed, "How can I not know about this matter, I have already ordered more than once or twice to punish those who are insatiable, but the final result is ...... Alas......"
Because of the things above the court before, as well as those relationship networks Zhuang Mingyue didn't know, so when she heard the emperor say this, she didn't say anything.
Instead, it re-introduced the topic to what happened yesterday, "Your Majesty, you live in the imperial city, so you have never seen how powerful and torturous the plague in Jiangnan City is. ”
"But even in this situation, there has never been a person who has voluntarily given up his life, everyone is working hard and trying to live."
Zhuang Mingyue, who said this, looked suddenly stunned, and then continued after a while: "When you were looking for a private visit, have you ever seen that two-year-old child, following his crazy parents who want to go out of the city, doesn't know what is going on, just sitting in place in a daze. When I passed, he was still smiling at me without knowing it. ”
When Zhuang Mingyue recalled the child's clear eyes and the smile that was not mixed with any impurities, a bitter meaning suddenly appeared on her face.
And the emperor, who was listening to Zhuang Mingyue's words, saw her suddenly stop, "What happened later?" ”
"Later...... Then the child died. Zhuang Mingyue, who said that the child was dead, the look in her eyes darkened significantly, "But Your Majesty, do you know that that the child will neither die from the plague, nor at the hands of the parents who are already crazy." ”
The emperor, who thought that the child had died in the plague, couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, "Neither died in the plague, nor died in the arms of crazy parents, that is?" ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who looked a little desolate, looked at the teacup in her hand with deep eyes, "Starving." During that time, most of the people had managed to survive the high outbreak of the plague, and if they had waited a little longer, they might have been able to get out of the city soon, but they had no food. ”
"The grain in the city has long been taken away by those merchants and officials, and not a single grain is left."
Speaking of which, what else can't the emperor understand?
At this point, he had a complete epiphany of the emperor, and he also made up his mind to take advantage of this incident in Beiheng Mountain to completely pull out those corrupt officials with a solid foundation as quickly as possible
Come on, pull out one that doesn't stay!
The emperor who thinks clearly and understands, because he has something in mind at the moment, he doesn't plan to stay longer,
I saw him stand up, looked at Zhuang Mingyue with a little smile on his face, and said, "Zhuang Aiqing is really the lucky star of my Tiansheng Dynasty. ”
Zhuang Mingyue, who was praised for Fuxing, didn't have so much thought to accept it at the moment, "Your Majesty Xie's false praise, Mingyue is just doing a modest part." ”
The emperor, who was standing on the side, looked at Zhuang Mingyue deeply, and then asked: "Since Zhuang Aiqing has such talent, why did he resign, if you want, you can ...... at any time."
Even if Zhuang Mingyue knew that interrupting today's speech, even if it was not a capital crime, it was a not light crime.
But Zhuang Mingyue knew that the emperor of the Tiansheng Dynasty in front of him was not that kind of person, "Thank you Your Majesty for your appreciation of Mingyue, but what happened in the past two days, Mingyue also told Your Majesty just now." My temper is really not suitable for the court, otherwise one day I will be accused of being a sinner for the ages for offending people. ”
Although Zhuang Mingyue really wants to contribute to this country, on the other hand, she is not willing to let herself be deeply entangled in this kind of complicated entanglement, especially a small family like her without the slightest background.
But when the time comes, she offends someone because of her disrespectful words, and when the time comes, when others form a gang to intercede, as soon as they point out, all the blame will be put on her head.
And even if the emperor can protect her, but if he can protect her once or twice, how can he protect her again and again.
And even if she restrained her temperament, under the condition that she had already done these things, coupled with her reluctance to be a team, she would naturally not be able to survive in this court.
The emperor, who learned of Zhuang Mingyue's wishes, simply didn't stay longer, but hurried back to the palace.
Soon, Zhuang Mingyue heard about it in her shop.
It is said that in order to severely punish those officials who swallowed the disaster relief silver, His Majesty not only killed them all, but even found out that the situation was very bad, and directly sent them to prison to punish the crimes of the nine clans and wait for death.
As the emperor's movements became more and more rapid, everyone knew that the situation in this palace was probably about to change.
In this situation, everyone becomes self-endangered.
But on the other hand, when these officials discovered that something was wrong, they also realized that the emperor's expression was obviously not trying to punish Beihengshan too harshly that day.
But just a day later, the emperor began to investigate and punish severely.
This kind of behavior is only one day away from before, and it is forced to make them have to suffer, this kind of fearful fear.
So when this group of people realized that something was wrong, they directly found someone to investigate. After the emperor entered Zhuang Mingyue's courtyard that day, what did he hear, he would suddenly be bewitched, and began to change the blood of the officials above the court.
However, in order to be clean, Zhuang Mingyue chose the place of the house, although it is not remote, but it is not the center of the most prosperous area in the capital.
In addition, because of Caixia, so when they sent out a batch
Another spy asked for some news, so that Zhuang Mingyue could cooperate with them, so as to indirectly control the emperor.
But in fact, this kind of thinking is absolutely impossible, so when they found out that there was no way to force Zhuang Mingyue to cooperate with them, they directly gave up this option.
turned to directly hire killers and kill Zhuang Mingyue.
Although Zhuang Mingyue has Caixia by his side, after experiencing batch after batch of killers, even if he is a machine, after all, after holding on for so many days, he will faint.
In the end, Zhuang Mingyue was still selective, went to Long Yuanxiu's mansion, and borrowed a few skilled guards from him to protect Zhuang Mingyue during this period, and Zhuang Mingyue would definitely not be harmed.
When she thought that the matter could be over like this, something happened that gave her a headache.
Zhuang Mingyue stroked her head with one hand and twisted it extremely slowly, wanting to relieve her headache.
However, Zhuang Mingshu, who has been accusing and reprimanding in her ear, has never intended to give up.
On the contrary, the accusations are getting worse and worse, "Zhuang Mingyue! I'm talking to you, since you've already returned to the capital, why don't you go to visit your mother?! It's really unfilial! The mother of the family is seriously ill, and as a child, she should serve in front of the bed. ”
Zhuang Mingyue didn't expect that during the time that he was gone, Zhuang Mingshu didn't know how he was bewitched by Shen Yue'e, and he had actually become like this.
Regardless of what happened and who was wrong, he broke into the shop directly and scolded Zhuang Mingyue.
Although Zhuang Mingyue's feelings for this eldest brother are not as deep as those for Zhuang Xingxing and Zhuang Mingyu.
But in the final analysis, Zhuang Mingshu was also very good to her at the beginning, so she would not treat Zhuang Mingshu the same way she treated Shen Yue.
Even when Shen Yue'e used her to seek official benefits for Zhuang Mingshu before, she knew that this had nothing to do with Zhuang Mingshu, so she still took all the revenge on Shen Yue.
When she received the letter before, she thought that it was good for Shen Yue'e to be sick like this, so that at least she would not go out to harm people again, let alone do something to embarrass the dealer.
And when Zhuang Mingshu saw Zhuang Mingyue's wordless appearance, the annoyance on his face couldn't help but deepen, "Zhuang Mingyue! If you still treat me as your eldest brother, go back to see my mother. Even if what my mother did, no matter how wrong it was, as children, we have no qualifications to refute it when we have received so much parenting grace. ”
Zhuang Mingyue listened to Zhuang Mingshu's foolish filial piety that she didn't know where she learned it, and she felt very good about herself, but she felt very impatient.
"Big brother, I'll watch my affairs be solved by myself. I, Zhuang Mingyue, asked myself, I haven't been sorry for so many years, but what about her? ”
"That's it, big brother, let's go, I don't want to completely break off the brother-sister relationship between the two of us because of this incident."
For Zhuang Mingyue, she felt that she had done her best.
But Zhuang Mingyue, who insisted on it like this, didn't expect that in the end, it was because she couldn't stand her little sister's crying, so she could only return to the banker's house.
