The road of the favorite concubine in three lives is destined
Chapter 81: The court is so corrupt
Your Majesty, we just want to support our family. If we were not exploited so severely, who would be willing to go against their own conscience? I had lofty ideals when I became an official, and I thought I must serve the court. However, after so many years, I still cannot escape the exploitation of General Lin. Our salary is so pitiful, and he even asks us for money. We have no choice, Your Majesty.
The emperor's complex expression on his face, those sinister eyes were as scary as bloodthirsty, and he pointed his cold fingers outward, and the coldness came, leaving no trace of emotion. That look was like fire that would burn people, like an eagle's claws. I was so angry that my eyes were bloodshot. The general next to me turned out to be such a person. I thought he just loved power, but he actually cheated so many of my officials. Under the leadership of such a person, how could there be an honest official?
The Right Censor-in-Chief looked dazed, with empty eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, we know that we should not have made mistakes. No matter what the reason, we should not have sold official positions privately. We helped General Lin do those dirty things, and we accept the punishment."
The Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief said in despair, Your Majesty, we accept the punishment.
After the prince consort heard their story, tears welled up in his eyes and his heart was filled with sympathy. He thought that the world was unfair and there was no justice in the world.
The emperor calmed down and said calmly, "As a king, I am also restrained by others. Since my father, I have been restrained by the Lin family. All my life, whatever I want to do has to be decided by the Lin family. Am I not the same?"
Therefore, I will definitely eradicate this cancer to revitalize the government. I don't want you to get into trouble, so keep the medicine and silver needles, and be careful with the people who come to deliver food. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You should think about it carefully.
The Right Censor-in-Chief excitedly hugged the emperor's thigh and said, "Your Majesty, we plead guilty. We have signed and sealed our names. We choose you and believe in you. Your Majesty's benevolent policies are as strong as a mountain. The country is stable and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. We, your subjects, pay our respects."
The Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief also echoed the sentiment, saying that he was also willing to plead guilty and asked His Majesty to send someone to protect his family and prevent them from getting hurt.
The emperor agreed. Okay, don't worry, I will send someone. Let's go, Prince Consort.
So the emperor and the prince consort walked and talked, and the prince consort said to the emperor, "What you have done is really terrible. By the way, emperor, don't you go and see the empress dowager?"
The emperor said, I don’t want to go. I have endured it for so many years and I just don’t want to see her face anymore. When I see that face, I don’t know why I feel so heartbroken and filled with hatred.
The prince consort said, Your Majesty, I have said too much.
The emperor said you should go back home first, because I have to pretend to be a filial son and go to see the empress dowager later.
The prince consort said, I will take my leave.
The queen was anxiously waiting for the eunuch, walking back and forth in the palace, asking as she walked, "Has the eunuch just come back?" . .
The palace maid said, Your Majesty, not yet.
The queen was extremely anxious. After a while, the eunuch came back with a man who looked honest. The two entered the palace.
The queen looked at the man, sizing him up and down.
Speaking of which, stand up. Do you know what I want you to do?
The man said, "Empress, the father-in-law has already told me, and I have promised the father-in-law that I will definitely handle this matter. It's this silver..."
The queen said disdainfully, "How could I, a queen, be short of your silver?" Then she winked at the person next to her, and the maid next to her took out a silver ingot and some pearl jewelry.
