After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

Several guards dragged the Minister of Revenue out.

The Dali Temple Minister looked back and saw that he was in tears and his face was filled with sorrow. He himself was also frightened.

To take sides, to put it nicely, is to find a backer; to put it bluntly, it is a gamble.

If you stand on the right side, you will naturally enjoy great glory when your goal is accomplished. However, there are also people who become victims along the way. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is the best example.

If you stand in the wrong place, the consequences will be disastrous, either death or a life worse than death.

The Dali Temple Minister glanced at Prime Minister Nian who was standing in front, and became more determined to follow him and remain neutral.

At this point, the princelings all breathed a sigh of relief.

By exchanging a disloyal and unrighteous shopkeeper for a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue, they not only made a profit, but made a fortune!

But just as the Dali Temple Minister was about to stand up and follow the example, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is something I don't understand."

The Chief Justice of the Dali Temple was already like a frightened bird. He was so frightened that his legs, which had not yet fully stood up, went limp and he fell back to his knees with a plop.

His face was as pale as paper and his sweat was as big as beans.

The one who spoke was the wise king Qin Zehai.

Qin Fengtian requested not to attend court a few years ago, so the people who negotiated for him in the court were the Xian Wang and the people from the Qing Wang party.

Qin Zehai walked to the side of the Dali Temple Chief Justice and glanced at him with anger and disdain in his eyes.

What he despised most were those old-fashioned people who were rigid, conservative, and refused to tact.

It is obvious that Nian Chengyun and the Dali Temple Minister are both old-fashioned, and the neutral people are even more so!

He had clearly sent someone to deliver the gift to the Dali Temple, hoping that the Dali Temple official would understand his intention and do something in the petition to make the emperor disappointed with the prince. Unexpectedly, the gift did not even enter the Dali Temple and was returned intact.

If not for this, could Qin Junyu still be standing here?

He lost a capable assistant, but Qin Junyu escaped unscathed. How could he swallow this?

If the injury he suffered was ten points, Qin Junyu should also bear five points!

When Qin Zehai thought of this, he became angry.

He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that there are too many doubts in this case. It is not as the Dali Temple Minister said."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, changed into a comfortable sitting position, and motioned him to continue.

Qin Zehai: "How can a small shopkeeper have the guts to embezzle the money from the national treasury? If you say that no one instructed you to do so, I absolutely do not believe it.

Besides, this incident happened under the nose of the crown prince. Could it be that the crown prince couldn't even control his own men?

Even if the prince was unaware of the matter, he still bears joint responsibility for failing to discipline his subordinates, leading to the breeding ground for corruption and abuse of power!

If in the future, when someone commits a crime, they push the people below them to take the blame and clear themselves of all charges, then the country will no longer be a country and the law will no longer be lawful!"

He spoke passionately, with veins bulging on his forehead.

If the previous words were intended to put the blame on Qin Junyu, then the latter words directly accused Qin Junyu of being a substitute for someone else.

Not only Qin Junyu, but even the Dali Temple Minister would be charged with "abusing power for personal gain and shielding the prince."

The Dali Temple Minister did not dare to speak.

The wise king clearly wanted to drag the crown prince into the water. If he dared to say anything more, not only would he gain nothing, but he would die a more miserable death.

When gods fight, it is better for mortals to stay away from them.

The emperor looked at Qin Junyu meaningfully. How could he not know that the case was resolved so suddenly and everything was just right.

First, the shopkeeper admitted that he was the only one who did it and that it had nothing to do with the prince. He also revealed that the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue was the mastermind. Then the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue directly pleaded guilty without a word of argument.

In party struggles, sacrifices have become the norm. He immediately stripped the title of the Minister of Revenue in public to give everyone a warning and tell them not to go too far.

But was this a conspiracy set up by the virtuous king to frame the prince, or was it the prince who got involved in the conspiracy in order to cut off the virtuous king's left and right arms?

If it is the former, it is understandable that the prince pushed the shopkeeper out;

If it is the latter, it is understandable that the wise king was angry after being tricked and wanted the prince to pay the price as well.

The emperor has not yet determined who set up this trap.

The prince's party could no longer sit still and began to make suggestions.

"Your Majesty, since Xi Su came back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken over Mulan Qiumi's affairs. He has been so busy that he hasn't had a rest for several days! He fainted in the hunting grounds a few days ago. The first thing His Royal Highness did when he woke up was to have someone conceal the matter, fearing that Your Majesty would worry! His Royal Highness's loyalty is evident to all!"

"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince is the lord of the Eastern Palace, and has thousands of people under him. The affairs of the court are so busy that His Majesty has no time to take care of other things. That's why someone took advantage of the opportunity and colluded with that treacherous person to frame His Majesty. How innocent His Majesty is!"

"Your Majesty! I don't care what kind of person Your Highness is! Your Highness must have been framed by someone else in this matter. It almost caused the separation between Your Majesty and Your Highness, how hateful!"

"Your Majesty! If, as the virtuous king said, the subordinates committed crimes, it was the superiors who did not discipline them properly, and they should be punished together. Then, as the virtuous king is your highness's uncle, can it also be said that the virtuous king did not educate your highness properly, which led to your highness's mistakes, and he should also be punished.

I dare to say this again, even at the risk of death, that all people in the world are His Majesty's subjects, so if people in the world make mistakes, isn't it His Majesty's responsibility?"

……

Those who followed the wise king were not willing to be outdone, and they also made suggestions and criticized Qin Junyu.

Each and every one of them spoke with reason and indignation.

After a while, there were only a few people standing, and a large group of people knelt in the middle of the hall.

The emperor was given a headache by the noise.

Qin Junyu calmly stepped out of the line. Under the gazes of all kinds, he cupped his hands and spoke slowly in a cold voice:

"Father, I was not aware of this matter. The Supreme Court has already found out the truth, and the Minister of Revenue has confessed to the crime. If you still think I am not innocent, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Anyway, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has already confessed his crime and been executed. The facts are before us, and the wise king is just being unreasonable.

As long as he refuses to admit it, the wise king will have no way to deal with it.

Qin Zehai knew that he was retreating to advance, and was about to refute him when he heard him say, "Since the emperor's uncle does not trust me, I have no choice but to ask you to entrust Mulan Qiumi's affairs to someone you can trust, to prove to yourself that I have no undue ambitions."

When these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath and buried their heads in their chests, without any of the momentum they had when giving advice.

Why did the emperor urgently call the prince back to Beijing from Xisu? Wasn't it because no one in the court could take on this important task?

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, this work has been handled by the Crown Prince every year. They are not clear about the hunting process, let alone the details, and are not sure how much silver it will cost.

If you don't have a clear idea of ​​where to spend more and where to spend less, you will be tied up and how can you get anything done?

The emperor attaches great importance to Mulan Qiumi. The event is about to begin at the end of the month, but the prince has given up on it. Who would dare to take on this hot potato?
