I want to ruin the country

Wang Jindou laughed,

"Of course he asked, and I had already prepared my answer.

If you tell it yourself, you can be reincarnated. If you don't tell it, you will be reduced to the animal realm, like a pig, eating excrement every day! "

"Damn, you can even come up with this word?"

"What can I do? If I told him to become a tiger and eat people, he would be so happy that he would die!"

"That's true!"

Wang Jindou submitted his confession.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Yining took it and read it, then said,

"Is it really related to Mu Zhang'a?"

Wang Jindou was puzzled.

"The Emperor already knew about this?"

Yining explained,

"Lord Lin just mentioned that the sudden death of Shandong's grain commissioner, Li Mengxiang, in Dezhou was also closely related to Mu Zhang'a. Lord Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Zexu knew that this was the emperor giving face to him, the newly appointed Minister of Justice. What else could he do about treason and corruption? Just arrest him!

He said hurriedly,

"He's guilty of a heinous crime and deserves death. Arrest him now before the news leaks out!"

Yining Road,

"Yi Fangfang, arrest Mu Zhang'a and raid his house. Lord Wang is dining here with Lord Lin, so he won't be leaving. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held responsible!"

In fact, Mu Zhang'a's every move has long been under control, it's just a matter of when to close the net!

Iraqi defense quickly said,

"Your Majesty, I obey your command. Don't worry, not even a fly can escape!"

The current emperor is the emperor who confiscates property, and Yi Guofang has become a full-time eunuch who confiscates property.

However, he did not make any mistakes, and he handled some things very appropriately, so Yining was still very confident in him!

After Yifang left, Yining ordered dinner to be served.

Because we were entertaining guests today, the kitchen served ten dishes, including a Dezhou braised chicken, a West Lake vinegar fish, a plate of braised pork elbow, a plate of roast duck, a plate of braised sea cucumber, a plate of Qingdao prawns, a plate of fried yam, a plate of day lily, a plate of steamed pork with rice flour, and a plate of boiled cabbage.

There are fish, meat, non-vegetarian and vegetarian dishes, which looks very appetizing.

Lin Zexu and You Zongtang had no idea that the emperor only served six dishes for a meal.

It was also the first time that Wang Jindou accompanied the emperor for dinner. Although he had heard about it, he was still very surprised when he saw these were the only dishes on the table. The princes and ministers did not eat with cups and plates. This made it seem that the emperor's meal was still a bit shabby!

Yining smiled and said,

"Please don't think I'm stingy, everyone. I have a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish in the back, specially made for Master Yuanfu. I'm afraid you're not used to northern food!"

Lin Zexu hurriedly said,

"Your Majesty, I've traveled extensively throughout my life and am used to it. I can eat anything!"

Wang Jindou said,

"I've heard that the Emperor now only has six light dishes for a meal. It seems this large table today is thanks to Lin Zhongtang!"

Lin Zexu asked,

"The Emperor only wants six dishes for a meal?"

Yining Road,

"It's not a small number. There are still many people who can't eat. I am much happier than them. Come on, let's welcome Lord Lin and the Right General today. Let's have a toast!"

Everyone drank a cup together, and Wang Jindou said,

"Lin Zhongtang, have you ever heard that when the emperor works, eats, and sleeps, there's an official kneeling beside him to watch?"

Lin Zexu thought about it,

"No, isn't serving the emperor in the palace the job of the palace maids and eunuchs?"

Yining knew what Wang Jindou was going to say and said with a smile,

"You, why are you saying this?"

Wang Jindou laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, even though Lin Zhongtang is knowledgeable and has seen many strange things in the world, I'm afraid he can't fully understand this matter!"

Lin Zexu watched Wang Jindou talking to the emperor. He was respectful, of course, but not as timid as before. Naturally, he felt much closer to him.

He also relaxed and asked,

"May I ask what Lord Wang meant?"

Wang Jindou said,

"Lord Lin, you may not know that a few days ago at the imperial court, a censor named Wen Bizheng suddenly jumped out and said that the emperor was arrogant, extravagant and licentious, which made the emperor very angry!

Lord Lin, take a look, does our Majesty look like the arrogant and extravagant emperor?

Lin Zexu and You Zongtang both shook their heads.

"It doesn't look like it!"

Yining Road,

"Let's drink and talk!"

Everyone raised their glasses together.

Yining Road,

"You weren't there at the time, who told you that?"

Wang Jindou said,

"Your Majesty, two people died at the first grand court meeting since you ascended the throne, and a third-rank Dali Temple official died of fright.

Your debates with the ministers at the Qianqing Gate have become legendary. Storytellers have compiled them into novels and they're being told everywhere in teahouses and taverns. It's hard not to know about them!"

Yining smiled but said nothing.

Lin Zexu asked,

"Master Wang, what is going on?"

Wang Jindou saw that the emperor was not displeased, so he repeated what happened that day and said, "Fork out," and laughed.

"I heard that guy fell pretty hard. I guess the guards must be furious that he slandered the emperor!"

Lin Zexu turned around and asked the emperor,

"Your Majesty, is this the end?"

Yining Road,

"How could I let this go? From that day on, I made him live and eat with me.

Five days later, he knelt before me, weeping bitterly and saying he was wrong and willing to be punished!

Lin Zexu said,

"Slandering the king, although not with ill intention, this trend must not be allowed to continue. It is unbecoming to be without a father and a king. Severe punishment is required!"

Yining sighed.

"What's the point of punishing one person? It won't stop the people from talking nonsense.

I let him go. He's old, not a bad person, just a bit pedantic!"

You Zongtang thought to himself that it was rare and precious that the emperor had such a broad mind and bearing at such a young age. It was a blessing for our court!

Wang Jindou said,

"After Wen Bizheng returned, he felt he had let the emperor down and became depressed.

He told everyone he met about what he had seen and heard in the palace over the past few days.

"You say that the current emperor is busy with state affairs, neglects food and sleep, lives frugally, and doesn't care about women. You slandered the emperor and are worse than pigs and dogs. You regret it too late and deserve to be cut into pieces!"

Du Shoutian Road,

"The Emperor is a very benevolent Emperor, but some people are willing to believe the rumors. And Weng Tonghe's suicide is a disgrace to the Emperor!

The Emperor not only gave him a hundred taels of silver, but also arranged a job for his son. Throughout the dynasties, I have never heard of such a benevolent emperor!

Yining Road,

"I eat and work on time every day, so how can I forget to eat and sleep?

As for taking care of state affairs, that is what I should do.

I am still slightly inferior to the late emperor and Emperor Yongzheng in living a frugal life!

As for not being interested in women, firstly, I miss the Queen, and secondly, I haven't met a woman I like. I'm not an ascetic, haha!"

Several people thought to themselves that the emperor was actually a romantic man.

Du Shoutian Road,

"Your Majesty should appoint a queen as soon as possible. A harem without a queen is not a long-term solution!"

Yining Road,

"Don't worry, it depends on fate!"

Lin Zexu asked,

"What do you mean by 'working on time' when the Emperor speaks of it?"

Yining Road,

"I have changed the previous morning court rules. The working time is 8 o'clock every morning. Everyone is the same!"
