my wife is mulan

A minister asked: "The west of the Western Regions is too far away from our dynasty. It is very difficult to supply, and the long-distance supply loss is too great. Last year, our dynasty experienced natural disasters. This year, we are going to conquer the people who hate us. Where does this military expenditure come from?"

Zhao Junsheng said: "I have already considered this matter. The Greedy Wolf Army mainly adopts the method of supporting war to solve the logistics problem. The insufficient part will be provided by the countries of the Western Regions and the herdsmen in Rouran! Replenish them with arrows that are consumed, and let them maintain and keep their weapons well!"

For this expedition, the imperial court neither sent troops nor spent military expenses, so the ministers naturally had nothing to say and returned to their original positions.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "Is there any other things you want to play, Zhu Qing?"

No one spoke.

Zhao Junsheng took out a booklet from the imperial case chapter and held it up and said: "I have an impeachment memorial here. The objects of impeachment are Taipu Siqing, Qu Liangbo Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an, the imperial historian. The impeachment of them is the imperial court. Shitai's little censor named Wang Changming!

Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an are both important officials of the imperial court. If someone impeaches them, there must be evidence. I don't believe that those officials who are greedy for the river improvement projects along the banks of the Yellow River are just the tip of the ice. "

Kang Yide came over and took the impeachment memorial and walked down the steps to Pei Jin in the left row.

Yuan Gao and Pan Changan, who were named, were shocked by this sudden change. It was too sudden and they had no preparations in advance.

There was fear in the eyes of both of them. They glanced at each other, and immediately trot out and knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, this is definitely a false accusation, I have been wronged!"

Zhao Junsheng said: "The two of you got up first, whether you have been wronged or not, you can find out after checking! Although you are important ministers of the court, you should also be supervised, and you cannot be prevented from being investigated just because of your high positions! Censor Wang Changming It is so detailed in the memorial, if I don’t let people check it out, how can I convince others? How can I control the important ministers? When the results of the investigation are found out, if it proves that you have been wronged, I will naturally uphold justice for you !"

Zhao Junsheng's words have already reached this point, Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an can only cooperate, if they continue to entangle, it will only arouse suspicion, they agreed: "No!"

The impeachment memorial went around in the hands of the ministers, and finally returned to Zhao Junsheng's hands. All the ministers who had seen it couldn't believe it. Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an both looked like No matter how you look at the appearance of an honest person, he doesn't look like someone who can do such a thing, but if what is written in this memorial is true, it will be too terrifying.

Zhao Junsheng took back the memorial and asked: "Have you finished reading it? What people say has a nose and eyes, and I can't ignore it. The law of Daqian is definitely not a decoration. Since it exists, it will play a role at any time! Therefore, this matter must be investigated. Shu king!"

Zhao Ping quickly stood up and saluted: "My son is here!"

"You are the chief officer in charge of the investigation of the Heluo ink corruption case. You are still in charge of the investigation of Yuan Gao and Pan Changan. I want to know the result in the shortest possible time, and I will give you ten days!"

"My son obeys the order!"

Zhao Junsheng shouted outside: "Come here!"

Several warriors in front of the temple came in, and Zhao Junsheng said: "During the investigation of this case, Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an's official positions will be suspended, and their official duties will be temporarily taken over by their deputy or assistant officer. Take them down and isolate them from the outside world temporarily. , No one is allowed to approach!"

Yuan Gao and Pan Changan were terrified, but they could only force themselves to calm down and pretend nothing had happened, otherwise they would be suspected, and they couldn't beg for mercy. Once they begged for mercy, they would almost confirm what was written in the impeachment memorial !

The two were taken away, but the court ministers could not calm down until the eunuch shouted to retreat, and some ministers did not recover.

After leaving the main hall, on the way to the palace gate, the ministers discussed this matter in groups of three or four in low voices.

"If this is true, Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an are too courageous, right?"

"I don't think it's true. Yuan Gao and Pan Chang'an have the guts to do such a big thing? I wouldn't believe it even if they were killed!"

"This can't be said for sure. As the saying goes, you know the face but don't know the heart. There are many people whose appearance is deceptive!"

Zhao Junsheng knew that the fact that Yuan Gao and Pan Changan were taken away for investigation must not be concealed, and the news would spread quickly, so that night, after dinner, he called Hua Mulan aside alone and said this matter.

"What's the matter, making it so mysterious?" Hua Mulan asked.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan, pondered for a moment and said, "Mulan, I hope you will be mentally prepared before I say this. Don't quarrel with me. Don't make trouble. Just talk if you have something to say, okay?"

Hua Mulan became even more suspicious: "What's the matter, is it possible that you are going to divorce me?"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't laugh or cry, the atmosphere created with great difficulty was destroyed by Hua Mulan's words, so he had no choice but to cut straight to the point: "It's about uncle, someone impeached him as the mastermind of the Heluo ink corruption case, the criminal minister Zou Ruhai and Pan Changan, the imperial envoy, is all assisted..."

Before Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, Hua Mulan shouted, "What? This is impossible!"

Chapter 962

Zhao Junsheng clapped his hands, "I just said that you should be mentally prepared. You are not a little girl anymore. Why are you still bluffing like this? Can you calm down?"

Hua Mulan was panting for breath, but when Zhao Junsheng said this, she also knew that she was concerned, and she was confused, and no matter how much she yelled, she couldn't solve the problem.

"Okay, let's talk about it in detail, I won't be bluffing!"

The two sat down on a low table facing each other. Zhao Junsheng said: "The impeachment memorial was written by a censor at Yushitai. If it's just a guess or a random fabrication, it can be seen at a glance, but this person not only wrote in the memorial how his uncle and Zou Ruhai and Pan Chang'an illegally cultivated cronies, and how they embezzled the funds for the river improvement project in the Moheluo area, each of which has its own details. The specific name of the person who handled it and the contact person, the specific amount of the money, etc., and even each amount is accurate to a few pennies!"

Zhao Junsheng took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Mulan.

Hua Mulan's face was serious, and she took the memorial and read it. The content on it made her eyes widen, "This...it's impossible, it's impossible..."

Zhao Junsheng said: "Is it true that you can only find out after you have checked it. It is easy to check. There are many witnesses listed on it, including their names and official positions. It will be clear after the first trial!"

Hua Mulan couldn't restrain her emotions, "Investigate why? This is obviously a frame-up. My uncle is not such a person at all?"

"It's not objective for you to say that. Zou Ruhai, the servant of the criminal department who is related to uncle, has already confessed some of his crimes. He must have been framed by others, right?"

Zhao Junsheng said in a deep tone: "Mulan, although Uncle Qu Liang is an uncle, he is also a minister of great cadres. If I don't let people check it, is this obvious protection? How to convince the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty? How to convince the people of the world ? Let someone check it out. If uncle has no problem, wouldn’t that prove his innocence? This can also stop some people’s mouths!”

Hua Mulan was silent. She read the impeachment memorial carefully from the beginning to the end again, raised her head and said, "What if... find out some problems?"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Hua Mulan and knew that the contents of the memorial had shaken her. After a while, he suddenly laughed and said, "You said just now that this matter can't be true, but now you're undecided? That's how you do it." Don't trust uncle?"

Hua Mulan was taken aback, her face became firm, and she seemed to have regained her confidence in Yuan Gao, "Okay, let's check, it's good to check, or some people will say that I'm protecting relatives!"

Zhao Junsheng was relieved to get Hua Mulan out of the way for the time being, but there was an even more difficult hurdle, which was his mother-in-law Hua Yuan!

If Hua Mulan is making trouble with him, he still has a solution, the worst is a cold war for a period of time, both sides calm down, he believes that Hua Mulan is not unreasonable, it is just that he cannot accept this fact from the heart, but Hua Yuan's It's different, this old woman is not easy to fool, and she is also the kind of old woman who gets more and more unreasonable as she gets older.

Zhao Junsheng reckoned that it might take two or three days for her to come to the door, but things did not go as he expected. The next morning, Kang Yide hurried to Qinzheng Hall to report: "Your Majesty, your mother-in-law Wu Chuanjun She has entered the palace, judging by her appearance, I am afraid that she came here for Qu Liangbo's affairs, she is very aggressive, and she is not a good person!"

Zhao Junsheng heard it, "Come to Xingshi so soon to inquire about the crime? This old lady really... Forget it, where is she?"

Kang Yide replied: "In the inner palace, the empress and the imperial concubine are accompanied. As soon as Mr. Wu Chuan arrived, he questioned Qu Liangbo. The empress explained, but it didn't work. The Empress said that Your Majesty is dealing with important military and state affairs, so you can't be easily disturbed, and it took a lot of effort to persuade you!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and ordered Kang Yide: "I won't go back to the inner palace for lunch at noon, you ask someone to prepare meals and bring them here! Also, I want to call a few ministers to discuss state affairs, and no one is allowed to disturb!"

"Promise!" Kang Yide understood what Zhao Junsheng meant, and after agreeing, he turned around and made arrangements.

The old lady waited all day in the inner palace but did not wait for Zhao Junsheng. Seeing that it was getting dark, she stomped her crutches angrily and got up to leave.

Hua Mulan stood up and said, "Aniang, let's go after dinner!"

"If you don't eat, even if I stay for dinner, I won't be able to wait for him!"

It seems that the old lady understands in her heart!

The next day, Zhao Junsheng was having breakfast with Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and several children, but Hua Mulan hesitated to speak.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at her, "Just say what you have to say, hesitating is not like your Hua Mulan character!"

Hua Mulan had no choice but to say, "I'm afraid Auntie will come today too!"
