After rebirth, I don’t want to be a Mary Sue heroine anymore!

It turned out that during the days we were away from the capital.

The forces of the second prince and the third prince were competing with each other in private.

The two of them disliked each other and both wanted to compete for the top spot.

Although Wen Yiheng no longer has real power, he is still actively investigating corruption.

Originally, most of the forces in the court were on his side, but after the previous incident, no one trusted him anymore.

He has been worrying about who to push first and who to be the first to try it out.

Unexpectedly, during this period, the Second Prince's people actually spread bad things about him everywhere and opposed him at every turn.

This made Wen Yiheng feel vengeful, so he pushed their people out to take the blame.

The Second Prince also knew that Wen Yiheng was not a good person, but his mother's family was still relatively powerful.

It's not something that can be changed by just a few words from others.

Those people spoke up for Wen Yiheng just so that he could get the Second Prince out as soon as possible.

Now, there was a lot of grudge between the two of them, so this time it all exploded.

The Second Prince's men were also secretly collecting some evidence of Wen Yiheng's crimes.

Wen Yiheng has been madly amassing wealth since he paid so much silver to the people last time.

But he is more cautious now than before, and he never shows up by himself.

He always asks his subordinates or people two levels below him to help him do such things.

In the past, people in the court were afraid of him and unwilling to cooperate with him.

It is different now, Luo Wenqian has fallen. Some people are just intermediaries in buying and selling official titles, and they make money from this.

Those intermediaries took the initiative to contact Wen Yiheng, just wanting to obtain resources from him.

These things were originally hidden relatively well, but the Second Prince's men are not pushovers either.

Wen Yiheng had just sold an official title.

The next second, the Second Prince's men suggested to the Emperor that he should examine the character and abilities of these people more carefully.

The emperor hated this kind of thing the most, so he naturally sent people to keep a closer eye on it.

Sometimes, he would even summon people directly to the front of the temple to test their abilities personally.

This had a great impact on Wen Yiheng's career. Those who bought official positions were originally people who lacked ability but wanted official positions.

Now, if he is tested by the emperor in front of the palace, his secret will be exposed.

After the palace examination was over, if anyone failed, the emperor would directly dismiss him from his post.

Not only did that man suffer, but also those who invited him in were summoned by the emperor to the palace to be questioned.

Those people just wanted to make some money and didn't want to risk their lives.

I just kept admitting my mistakes like crazy, thinking that this would make up for it.

All those people were punished, and now many people are afraid to engage in this activity.

Not only that, those intermediaries were also asked for refunds by those who bought official titles.

Those agents had already given Wen Yiheng a lot of gifts, thinking that they would be able to gain more benefits from this matter.

But now everything is gone, those people not only returned the money.

Even the gifts given cannot be taken back.

Those people originally wanted to make money, but now they have lost everything and no one dares to look for them anymore.

Wen Yifeng was not a pushover. They threw the evidence directly in front of the emperor.

The emperor was furious when he saw the evidence, and immediately called Wen Yiheng to the front of the palace to question him.

Wen Yiheng did not expect that he would be reported.

He was already very careful and cautious in his work, but he still didn't expect that he would reveal a flaw in the end.

Found by someone else.

Before going to the palace, Wen Yiheng guessed that he would be reported.

In order to get rid of suspicion, Wen Yiheng had to call his most capable assistant over.

He knew he couldn't escape. His only option now was to cut off his arm and survive.

The emperor immediately sent Eunuch Zhang to bring Wen Yiheng into the palace.

Along the way, Wen Yiheng was testing things.

Wen Yiheng said somewhat embarrassedly: "Eunuch Zhang, why is my father so anxious to ask me to enter the palace?

Is father’s illness getting worse again?

Or did you say something particularly important?"

Eunuch Zhang is a very versatile person in life.

He had long guessed the emperor's thoughts.

I know that Wen Yiheng may not be the final winner.

Therefore, the questions and answers to Wen Yiheng are also ambiguous.

After Eunuch Zhang bowed, he spoke anxiously: "Fifth Prince! I don't know either.

The Emperor only asked his servant to call the Fifth Prince.

As for the rest, he didn't say anything.

The emperor looks quite anxious.

I’m afraid that doesn’t look like a good thing.”

When Wen Yiheng heard this answer, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If a eunuch knew what the emperor was thinking, it would probably be a big problem.

Not knowing now is a good thing. He still holds on to the hope.

Wen Yiheng felt that the emperor must have something else important to tell him.

As he walked on the road, he happily hummed a little tune.

Wen Yiheng felt that the emperor must want to pass the throne to him, so he was so anxious to call him over.

Eunuch Zhang looked at Wen Yiheng's condition speechlessly.

In fact, Eunuch Zhang also knew why they were looking for him.

It's just that he didn't want to tell him these things.

Unexpectedly, Wen Yiheng actually felt that this was a very good thing.

When he got outside the hall, Wen Yiheng even straightened his clothes to make himself look very energetic.

Then he strode into the hall.

The emperor's face was as red as a pig's liver at this moment. He was very angry at these extremely stupid people.

He didn't expect that the officials' current admission standards were so low.

It turns out that any Tom, Dick or Harry can sneak in.

Since someone has already told the emperor that it was Wen Yiheng who was behind this.

The emperor became more and more angry.

As a prince, he should have shined for the country.

I didn't expect that he would use his power to do such a despicable thing.

As soon as Wen Yiheng entered the hall, he felt a cool breeze blowing.

It made him shudder all over.

Wen Yiheng was still muttering to himself, the emperor's life was so good that it was so cool here even on such a hot day.

When the emperor heard Wen Yiheng coming in, he rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.

Wen Yiheng looked at the emperor and saluted respectfully.

The emperor had no intention of letting him stand up, so he just let him kneel there.

Wen Yiheng only then realized that letting him come might not be a good thing.

The emperor immediately threw the memorials containing the names of those involved in buying and selling official titles in front of Wen Yiheng.

Wen Yiheng was hit directly on the forehead by this memorial, but he did not dare to complain.

He took out the memorials and read them one by one, and found that the official titles listed on them were the ones he had just sold not long ago.

He immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting: "It is unfair! Father! I am being wronged.

I am investigating cases of corruption, how could I possibly break the law?

Someone must be behind this.

Please, father, please look into this matter and give me justice."

Wen Yiheng thought that he just needed to cry for a while and then pretend to be fine.

But he overlooked that the emperor never did anything without certainty.

Since they have come to him, they must have sufficient evidence in their hands.

Otherwise it would be impossible to do such a thing.

The emperor looked at Wen Yiheng who was still not telling the truth, and said with some disappointment: "Heng'er, you are the only one who has the seals on these memorials, right?

Take a good look at those memorials, are they yours?

Could it be possible that someone else stole it and did something like this?

Do you still have any excuses?"

Wen Yiheng immediately panicked. Yes, this seal was only his. No one else could possibly have it.

Wen Yiheng knew that the emperor was a very cruel person.

If he was caught, he would probably be dead soon.

Wen Yiheng immediately knelt down and thought about it, then said with tears in his eyes: "It really wasn't done by me.

Father, please believe me. I also want the people of Dayun Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment.

How could someone do such a shameless thing?

I remember now.

Someone stole my seal.

I got drunk not long ago, and when I woke up, I looked for my seal for a long time before I found where it was.

I'm afraid it was stolen by someone with ulterior motives and used for some abnormal activities.

This is definitely someone trying to frame me, Father, please look into this matter carefully!"

When the emperor heard these words, he actually laughed out of anger.

Some people said with amusement: "Oh? Then tell me who might have done this.

It's impossible for someone to come to you for no reason, right?

Or are you doing something else behind my back?"

Wen Yiheng's mentality had already collapsed. He was no match for the emperor.

The emperor challenged his mentality step by step.

If he can't handle it, he will tell it all.

Wen Yiheng was a reborn person after all, so he was panicked for a while at first when faced with this kind of situation.

But now he has adjusted his mentality and is not panicked at all.

But he immediately straightened his back and said, "Father, I really won't do that.

Is there any benefit for me and Dayunchao by doing this?

The fact that I, your son, was ordered to investigate corruption has made me many enemies.

Those people just use their connections to frame me.

Aren’t all my efforts in vain?

My son was assassinated not long ago.

Fortunately, I was lucky that day and he had enough bodyguards.

This is how I managed to escape the disaster."

When this matter was mentioned, the emperor was a little annoyed.

Wen Yiheng was given several months to investigate.

But up to now, I haven’t named any of the more serious corrupt officials.

The factional struggles in the second court became more and more serious.

Suddenly, they were divided into several camps.

The emperor touched his bracelet and looked at Wen Yiheng with interest.

Wen Yiheng also felt a little guilty when being looked at by the emperor.

The emperor laughed and said, "Heng'er, then tell me, who is the biggest corrupt official?"

You've been investigating for so long. It's impossible that you don't have any clues at all, right?

But I have never heard you report about this big corrupt official.

Have you been playing for so long?

In other words, with the power I have given you, can't you show off your power in the court?

You really are such a big shot. Which of the recent events is not related to you?

You should explain it to me in detail.

I don't want to hear any more nonsense.

I just want to ask you who stole your seal?

Who else is the biggest corrupt official in the Dayun Dynasty?"

Tears as big as beans rolled down Wen Yiheng's face. He just told a lie.

But now that the emperor has listened, he has no way to retreat.

He could only find a scapegoat.

Wen Yiheng was so frightened that his lips turned a little pale.

Wen Yiheng had no choice but to comfort the emperor and said: "I will find out the truth about this matter within three days.

If it is not found within three days.

Whoever stole my seal, I am willing to die as a token of my guilt.

As for corrupt officials, they hide too deeply.

I have been investigating for so long, but I still haven't dug them out.

Please give your son some more time.

I will definitely root them out!"

The emperor nodded. He was also very aware that Wen Yiheng had been acting cautiously recently.

There are some powerful forces behind him, so he must be stabilized first.

The emperor was a man who could change his expression. He immediately changed his expression to one of regret, and then said with some sadness: "I know.

I ignored Heng'er's feelings before, but I love you.

I also feel a little disappointed. Until you are not that kind of person.

But I've been hearing more and more rumors about you recently.

Everyone is saying that you have bad behavior and even that you are not worthy of being a prince.

You'd better pay attention to me.

It's impossible for someone to find fault with me and bring it to me!"

Wen Yiheng actually wanted to know who had complained, but he was too embarrassed to ask directly.

Wen Yiheng thought about it and sighed with some resentment: "I don't know what those people are thinking?

He actually resorted to such despicable means. I didn't do those things in the first place.

It seems that someone has framed me. I don't know what those people are doing.

At this critical juncture, nothing else can happen.

Otherwise, people will say that the people are unstable! "

Wen Yiheng wanted to get some words out of the emperor.

But the emperor was not a fool. How could he be easily deceived by him?

The emperor said with some disappointment: "He is the one who has been in this court for many years.

Besides, since you said that your seal was stolen.

Then this kind of thing happens.

You should ask yourself first: Why are these things lost?

Instead of asking who reported you?

You are such a big person. You can't even take care of a small thing.

If you can't even take care of something this small, how can you take care of something bigger?"
