I rely on gossip to save the country

Chapter 7 Xie Chuyue was dragged to review the memorials

"So what do you think, should your son be punished?" The emperor's voice did not express his emotions, but when the regent heard it, he felt a chill all over his body!

The Regent's forehead was covered with sweat and his face was as pale as paper, but he still pretended to be calm and looked ready to die. However, his slightly trembling voice still exposed his inner fear.

"Your Majesty, I think he should be punished! The rebellious son who tried to assassinate the emperor is guilty of the death penalty. The Prince Regent's Mansion is at the mercy of the emperor."

Xie Chuyue: [System error, if my father insists on killing all nine generations of the Regent's family, should I go out and stop him? ]

System: [It depends on whether you, the host, have a conscience. ]

Xie Chuyue…………

Xie Chuyue was already prepared. If Emperor Mingde insisted on killing all nine generations of the Regent's family, she would be the first to stand up and oppose it.

Emperor Mingde...Is he the kind of person who can't tell right from wrong?

The prince: Since the regent is a loyal minister, he must stand up as well. He trusts his sister's judgment.

Emperor Mingde nodded grimly: "Okay, since you said so, I won't say anything more. Come on, take the son of the regent to the prison and let him spend the rest of his life in the dungeon. As for the regent..."

Emperor Mingde changed the subject and said, "The Prince Regent has failed to educate his son properly. I will fine him three years' salary as a warning!"

Xie Chuyue was about to kneel down but quickly retracted her knees.

Hearing that the entire clan would not be exterminated, Xie Chuyue breathed a sigh of relief. Come to think of it, her father was a wise ruler, so how could he kill loyal ministers?

When the regent heard that he was only fined his salary, he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he had no chance of escaping this time, but he did not expect the emperor to let him go. Thinking of this, he quickly kowtowed to the emperor and thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Emperor Mingde glanced at the Regent, then at Xie Chuyue who was obviously relieved. He just found it funny. He really didn't know what this girl was so nervous about. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Yue'er, do you think my punishment is appropriate?"

Xie Chuyue: [System error, why did the emperor ask me this? Shouldn't he ask the ministers? Did he ask the wrong person? Is my opinion important?]

System: [I don’t know! ]

Xie Chuyue stepped out of the line obediently, "Father naturally handled it perfectly. I admire your generosity. Father is truly a wise ruler."

Xie Chuyue flattered him to her heart's content.

System: [Flatterer! ]

Hearing the system call her a flatterer, Xie Chuyue immediately became unhappy and retorted in her heart: [What is a flatterer? I am not, my father was originally a famous emperor, and he handled this matter very well! ]

Emperor Mingde was all smiles when he was praised. My son is really in my heart. The one who understands me best is Xiao Yue'er!

The prince understood that he would become a wise ruler in the future. Hearing praises from his sister every day made him happy just thinking about it.

Civil and military officials: So what if he is a wise ruler? In the end, the country was still destroyed! They thought so in their hearts, but they still felt guilty, after all, they also contributed to the destruction of the country.

Afterwards, the morning court ended with Eunuch Fu saying, "If you have anything to report, please do so. If not, please dismiss the court."

"I respectfully send you off to your Majesty!"

"My son, I respectfully send my father off!"

No one impeached her at the morning court today. Xie Chuyue was in a great mood. She hummed a song and went to her Changle Palace. However, she was stopped by Eunuch Fu halfway.

Xie Chuyue looked at Eunuch Fu and thought to herself: [Why is Eunuch Fu stopping me? I've been very well behaved recently and haven't done anything wrong! ]

Eunuch Fu: ………Oh, their little princess. If we stop her, does that mean she must have done something wrong?

Although he thought so in his heart, he still explained to Xie Chuyue with a smile on his face, "This old servant greets the little princess. Little princess, the emperor asks you to go to the imperial study."

Xie Chuyue's heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling. Why did it feel like it was directed at her?

But when she thought of the emperor's favor towards her, she instantly recovered and became fearless.

Thinking of this, Xie Chuyue jumped towards the imperial study.

A moment later, in the imperial study,

When the emperor was reviewing the memorials, he discovered that local officials were corrupt and accepting bribes. His face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed. Why was this matter reported only now?

At this moment, Xie Chuyue came in bouncing. When the emperor saw this, the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated. His precious daughter always made him happy and brought him joy.

"Father! I heard from Eunuch Fu that it was you who called me?" Xie Chuyue lay on the imperial desk in the imperial study, supporting her face with her hands and looking at the emperor.

She looked calm on the outside, but she was a little panicked in her heart. [I haven't done anything wrong recently, except for the laughter at the morning court. Could it be that my father wanted to punish me because I laughed at the morning court?]

Emperor Mingde: ………I am not that idle.

Emperor Mingde put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Xie Chuyue with a smile, and said temptingly, "Yuer, your father is old, and when it comes to handling state affairs, it is inevitable that he has the will but not the strength. You have been in court for more than a year, isn't it time to share your father's worries and solve his problems?"

Xie Chuyue: [What do you mean? ]

Although she didn't know what the emperor meant, she still replied cautiously, "I am willing to help you, father, to solve your problems. I wonder what you want me to do?"

While waiting for Emperor Mingde's answer, Xie Chuyue quickly asked the system, [(System) **, what is the plan of the emperor, father? ]

System: [The emperor’s heart is unfathomable, and the system doesn’t understand. ]

When Emperor Mingde heard Xie Chuyue's straightforward agreement, he laughed heartily and said "OK" three times in a row, "OK, OK, OK, OK. In that case, then Yue'er will help father review the memorials."

Xie Chuyue…………

[Reviewing memorials? That doesn't exist! If you don't run now, when will you run? ]

With this in mind, he ran out, shouting as he ran, "Father, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I will come to help you another day."

But before she ran to the door, the two guards at the door received a signal from Emperor Mingde and stopped Xie Chuyue.

Xie Chuyue..., if she could reveal her strength, she really wanted to slap these two people away and then rush out.

But it was just a thought. She turned around and looked at the emperor with an embarrassed smile, and had no choice but to come in again.

But how could she give up so easily, so she decided to brainwash the emperor.

"Father, if I review the memorials, my brother the Crown Prince will think I want to take his crown prince position. Aren't you trying to trick me?"

Emperor Mingde continued to read the memorial in his hand without even raising his head. He replied calmly, "It's okay. The Crown Prince won't care. Even if you really want his crown prince position, maybe the Crown Prince will offer it to you with both hands."

Xie Chuyue did not give up and continued, "Father, it is impossible for a woman to participate in politics, but Father made an exception for me. I don't need to review the memorials, lest it fall into the mouths of the ministers, which is an unforgivable crime!"

Emperor Mingde tried hard to hold back his smile and looked unconcerned. "It's OK. I can make an exception once, and I can make an exception a second time."

…………

After one stick of incense, Xie Chuyue's resistance was in vain. She sat obediently on the chair next to the emperor and read the memorials with gritted teeth.

I was still cursing in my heart.

[Humph, you dog father, you only know how to enslave me. A 14-year-old kid is still a kid, but I am forced to review memorials and attend court. ]

【¥&#*¥&*#&¥↓*&¥#*&¥*】

Emperor Mingde was amused in his heart, but pretended to be calm.

Xie Chuyue: [There are corrupt officials in Yuncheng who embezzle and accept bribes and oppress the people? This corrupt official cannot be kept and must be eliminated. If I can catch the corrupt official, I can go out and play after catching him.]

Thinking this in his heart, Xie Chuyue also asked, "Father, the officials in Yuncheng are corrupt and accept bribes, and they also oppress the people. I want to go to Yuncheng to catch the corrupt officials."

Emperor Mingde was speechless... Catching corrupt officials is secondary, the purpose is to go out and play, right? Yue'er is still young now, and Yuncheng is so far away, he is worried.

"No, I will send people to arrest the corrupt officials. You are still young and cannot leave the capital."

Xie Chuyue…………,

Xie Chuyue was so angry that she pouted and flipped through the memorials vigorously, venting all her anger on them.

Emperor Mingde saw it, but he just smiled. He treated his precious daughter as dear as the apple of his eye. If something happened to her while she was away from home, would she still be alive?
