The Evil Mistress's Killing Crazy Daily

"Remember, this time you must give all the credit to Xiao Qinyu..."

"understood."

Thinking that he had worked in vain and had not gained any credit, Jun Yiyan complained to Hua Jianchen in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Is it necessary to be so cautious?"

"of course."

Hanakari Omi nodded.

Seeing that Jun Yiyan didn't take it seriously, he sighed and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, think about it carefully. Cui Zhi has been in Huaiyang for so many years, and many people have reported him for corruption, but why did the emperor turn a blind eye to it?

He is the emperor's man."

"So what?"

Jun Yiyan looked indifferent. "Even if he is my father's man, it doesn't mean that my father will always tolerate him.

"My father didn't care before, maybe because he thought he was still useful and wanted to give him a chance to correct his mistakes. But he never corrected himself, so does my father have to put up with him forever?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that his ideas made sense.

So he looked at Hanakari Omi and said jokingly, "Uncle, I think you must have overthought this time.

This time, my father sent me to Huaiyang incognito, perhaps because he could no longer tolerate it and wanted me to deal with Cui Zhi..."

"Maybe, maybe not."

Hua Jianchen sipped his tea and did not refute Jun Yiyan's idea. He just advised, "Your Highness, the emperor's mind is hard to predict. For the sake of the overall situation, we should be cautious.

It's just a trivial contribution, so just give it up. As long as we can calmly overthrow Cui Zhi and help our people take over, that's enough."

"Besides..."

Thinking of Xiao Qinyu's simple and honest character, Hua Jianchen smiled and reminded, "Besides, you have given Xiao Qinyu such a great achievement this time, he must be very grateful in his heart.

In the future, when we face the Xiao family and Concubine Xi, this chess piece of his may bring us unexpected gains."

"Well, you're right."

Recalling the obvious discord between the two brothers of the Xiao family at Hongxiuzhao today, Jun Yiyan smiled and nodded...

The next day.

Royal study room.

After respectfully presenting Cui Zhi's account book of corruption, Jun Yiyan followed the original plan and said, "Father, I was able to find out the whole story of this corruption case so quickly in Huaiyang this time, all thanks to the account book provided by Xiao Qinyu.

Otherwise, my trip to Huaiyang might end in failure..."

"is it?"

Jun Yiguang put down the account book.

He looked at Xiao Qinyu and felt that he looked familiar, so he asked, "Is your last name Xiao? What is your relationship with General Xiao Teng'an?"

"Your Majesty, he is my father."

"is it?"

Jun Yiguang looked at Xiao Qinyu again.

Seeing that his features were indeed very similar to Xiao Teng'an, he couldn't help but sigh, "As the saying goes, a tiger father will have a dog son. When your father was alive, he had made great military achievements and was an upright person. You and your brother are also very good sons..."

It's a pity that the elder brother has made great military achievements but is greedy for money, while the younger brother is upright but has no brains...

Suppressing the regret in his heart, Jun Yi Guang said a few polite words like "heroes have always emerged from youth" and then turned his gaze to Cui Zhi who was kneeling in the middle of the imperial study.

He sighed and frowned, "Cui Zhi, do you have anything else to say?"

"I am ashamed."

Cui Zhi knelt down, bowed his head to the ground, and confessed his guilt sincerely: "I have failed your majesty's kindness. I have nothing to say..."

"Then how do you think I should punish you?"

"minister……"

Cui Zhi took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes and sighed, whether out of exhaustion or relief. Then, he said word by word, "Your Majesty, for the many years of my service, please show me mercy and allow me to retire and return home."

"Retire and return home?"

Jun Yiguang sneered, "Cui Zhi, Cui Zhi, I gave you the position of Governor of Huaiyang because I trust you.

But what about you? You have betrayed my trust in you!

You have been corrupt and committed embezzlement for many years. Do you think that you can settle this matter by just retiring? What do you think of me! What do you think of the court! What do you think of the people of the world! "

"I am guilty, I deserve death."

"Yes, you deserve to die!"

Jun Yiguang snorted coldly and blamed him with gritted teeth, "If I hadn't considered your age and your many years of service, I would have beheaded you today no matter what!"

"Yes, I thank your Majesty for your consideration."

"okay……"

Jun Yiguang sighed.

He closed his eyes and gave an order with a sad face: "Pass on my order. Viscount Cui Zhi was corrupt and accepted bribes while serving as the governor of Huaiyang. There is irrefutable evidence. Now I will deprive him of his title, dismiss him from his position, and punish him by making him return the proceeds of his corruption..."

"Yes."

When Cui Zhi heard the imperial edict, he felt both sad and happy.

In fact, he is not a very greedy person. He has been deliberately accumulating wealth for so many years just to hand over his own handles so that Jun Yiguang can rest assured of his title.

He wanted to prove that he had no greater ambitions than wealth and fame.

But he didn't expect that after all he had done, he still couldn't keep his title...

Ugh……

Cui Zhi sighed secretly in his heart.

He comforted himself that as long as he could save his life, he kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, my humble servant, for your grace."

"Ah."

Jun Yiguang nodded and finally let Cui Zhi leave.

Then he looked at Jun Yiyan and asked with a smile, "Yan'er, you have made great contributions this time, what reward do you want?"

"It is my duty as a son to share my father's worries. I dare not ask for a reward."

"Ah."

Seeing Jun Yiyan returning from Huaiyang, he seemed much more mature. Jun Yiguang nodded with satisfaction.

He was curious about how much of the Hua family's credit was for this maturity, so he suddenly changed the subject and asked Xiang Junyi Yan, "Yan'er, with Cui Zhi's departure, the position of the Governor of Huaiyang will be vacant. Who do you think is suitable for this position?"

"My son..."

The prince was delighted and was about to answer the question.

But recalling Hua Kari's advice yesterday to "be careful", he paused and quickly declined, "Father, the appointment and dismissal of officials is a very complex subject. Only you can make the final decision. I dare not overstep my bounds."

"We are a family, what are you talking about?"

Jun Yiguang smiled helplessly and said, "Look at you, there are no outsiders around. We are just talking privately between father and son, you don't have to be so reserved."

"Yes."

Seeing Jun Yi Guang’s gentle attitude, Jun Yi Yan felt relieved.

He thought about it and thought that it would be good to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some advice. So he said, "Father, I think Ma Bangao is suitable. He has a lot of experience and a quick mind, which is just right for the officialdom in Huaiyang."

"Yeah."

Jun Yiguang's eyes dimmed.

He thought for a moment, smiled and nodded, then looked at Xiao Qinyu next to him and asked, "What about you? What reward do you want?"

"The villain dare not..."

Xiao Qinyu was both panicked and happy, and knelt down quickly.

"How about this……"

Jun Yiguang lowered his eyes and thought about the vacancies in the court, and then praised Xiao Qinyu's contributions. He smiled and said to Xiao Qinyu: "Recently, the position of Dali Temple is vacant. Tomorrow, you can report to the Dali Temple."

"The Dali Temple is..."

Xiao Qinyu was stunned for a moment.

He was pleasantly surprised when he realized that the Dali Temple official was a fifth-rank official, one rank higher than the one Xiao Chongjing had bought before.

"Villain..."

Xiao Qinyu habitually wanted to call himself a villain, but soon realized that he was now an official, so he kowtowed proudly and excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace!"

"Ah."

Jun Yiguang smiled and nodded.

He smiled, and after Jun Yiyan, Xiao Qinyu, and all the other people had left, he threw the account book in his hand fiercely on the table with a cold face...
