The villain heroine just wants to grab the country at the beginning

The emperor stood behind the table with a livid face.

A pair of old-fashioned eyes were full of anger.

"Frame you? Who will frame you! What are you framed for? Someone entered your Shangshu mansion at night, knocked your son unconscious and sent him to the courtyard where the second prince recuperated, and then broke his leg?
Xiao Yan saw your son enter the yard with his own eyes, and he went to arrest him personally. He jumped the wall to escape in a panic and broke his leg. Do you mean that Xiao Yan lied to me? "

Hubu Shangshu just couldn't believe it, as if struck by lightning.

He can be sure his son won't lie, at least not about this one.

Because there is no need to lie, and he has never had any contact with the second prince, and his son will not go to see the second prince in the middle of the night.

But why did Xiao Yan say that?
How much the emperor loves Xiao Yan, everyone in the court and the public knows it.

His throat was dry and tight, and the Minister of the Household Department couldn't stop swallowing. He didn't dare to refute Xiao Yan, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I really have been wronged, and I have suspicious targets."

The emperor raised his eyebrows.

The Minister of the Household Department said: "I suspect Gao Zhun, the right servant of the Household Department. Just a few days ago, Gao Zhun told the minister that the tax he collected for the Linxiang silk and satin shop could not be collected this year, and he hoped that the minister would help.

The Ministry of Households has long had regulations on tax division. According to the regulations, each other is not allowed to interfere with each other, so the minister did not agree.

At that time, Micro Motion was clearly in a state of desperation, but he collected all the taxes in a blink of an eye.

On the second day after Micro Motion collected all the taxes, there were rumors in the streets and alleys that the minister's concubine wanted to take the daughter of the owner of the silk shop as a concubine. The precedent of taking concubines first, let alone the heirs in the family.

Just when I was about to let people find out where the rumors came from, my son's concubine had an accident and broke his leg outside the courtyard wall where His Highness Second Highness was recuperating.

His Majesty said that Lord Xiao Yan personally saw him, but why didn't Lord Xiao arrest the minister's son at that time, but let him go home instead? "

"Your son just went to visit the second prince late at night, which in itself is not illegal, of course Xiao Yan will not arrest him." The emperor said angrily.

"But if that's the case, then who released the news and made it known to everyone that the minister's son went to visit the Second Highness late at night? He didn't arrest him at the time, but spread the news to His Majesty afterwards. This is tantamount to killing people!

I never form cliques in the court, let alone participate in the affairs of the princes, I am only loyal to His Majesty.

It is someone who wants to harm the minister.

It must be Gao Zhun, he colluded with the owner of the silk shop to slander the son of the minister, and spread rumors that the minister and the Second Highness had a private relationship, and the majesty let the minister decide! "

Shangshu Hubu directly identified Micro Motion.

The emperor could only summon Gao Zhun again.

The Minister of the Household Department was invited by the chief servant to drink tea in the side hall. In the imperial study, the emperor waited for Gao Zhun to come straight to the point, "I ask you, but you spread the news that the Minister of the Household Department's concubine wants to take a concubine?"

Gao Zhun knelt on the ground with a face full of panic, "Your Majesty is clearly aware, what are you doing spreading this for no reason! You are wronged."

The emperor has one head and two big heads.

This one and two, all cry for injustice!Can't you be more obedient and recruit yourself!
"It has nothing to do with you that the concubine of the Minister of the Household Department visits the second prince at night?" the emperor asked again.

Gao Zhun's eyes were full of confusion, "How can this be related to the minister? The Minister of the Household Department and the Second Highness have always had a very good personal relationship, and this is not something that the minister can decide."

The emperor was startled.

Then I was taken aback.

Hubu Shangshu and the second prince have a good personal relationship?

"What did you say?" The emperor even suspected that he had heard wrong.

Gao Zhun said: "Master Hubu Shangshu and His Highness the Second Highness have always had a close relationship. The Second Highness was in a coma, and he sent his sons and daughters to visit him several times. If the relationship is shallow, we can't go.

Moreover, in the past years when the Pingwei Army fought, although the Ministry of Finance could not settle the military expenses, Master Shangshu would always use his own savings to subsidize in private. "

And this thing?
The emperor was stunned.

Never expected to hear such an answer.

"How did you find out?"

Since Gao Zhun wanted to join Lu Qingshan's line, naturally he would not confess Lu Jia, he just said: "I also work for the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I also occasionally heard the conversation between Lord Shangshu and His Royal Highness the Second Prince by accident.

His Highness the Second Highness came to ask for military expenses on behalf of the Pingwei Army. Lord Shang Shu said that the Ministry of Households really couldn't afford the money, but let the Second Highness not worry, he has a way to make up the military expenses.

This time, the Pingwei army was destroyed, and there is no need to make up for the military expenses, but if your majesty doesn't believe it, you can search Lord Shangshu's house. There is at least 60 taels of reserve funds in his house.

That money was originally intended to subsidize Ping Weijun. "

The emperor made the eyelids twitch with the stimulation of this amount.

60 taels!

One million taels!
"And how do you know?"

"When I was sorting out the account books of the household department, I found that the number of several account books did not match, so I recalculated, and finally found that 60 taels of accounts were vaguely remembered and had not been taken to the treasury by the household department. These accounts were all Shangshu. The adults did it by themselves.

So the minister had this guess. "

Anger made the emperor's temples twitch.

He slapped the table, "Come here, bring me the Minister of the Household Department!"

Hubu Shangshu, who was drinking tea in the side hall, entered the imperial study in a blink of an eye.

The emperor asked angrily, "How do you explain your private dealings with the second prince!"

Hubu Shangshu didn't know what Gao Zhun said, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty has clearly observed that I have never had any private communication with His Highness the Second Highness, never!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and rushed towards Micro Motion, "You are the one who slandered me, right!"

Gao Zhun said: "I don't dare, I just tell the truth, if Lord Shangshu has no private contacts with His Highness the Second Highness, why use your own savings to subsidize the military expenses of the Pingwei Army?"

Hubu Shangshu opened his eyes wide after hearing this, "I'm crazy and I use my savings to subsidize them?"

The imperial court didn't even pay him military expenses. I'm sick, so I pay it myself?
There is no way to say this in front of the emperor, so I can only say firmly: "Your Majesty, I have never done this before."

Gao Zhun said: "That is to say, Master Shangshu has greedy for 60 taels and plans to spend it by himself?"

Hubu Shangshu had a dazed expression on his face, but his heart skipped a beat.

60 taels!

60 taels!

That was the official money Lu Jia gave him!

Behind Lu Jia is Lu Qingshan.

How would he explain it?

be honest?

But to be honest, it was a charge of Beijing officials colluding with foreign generals.

"Master Gao!" The Minister of the Household Department sternly said, "Master Gao be careful, I am a clean and honest official, how come 60 taels!"

Gao Zhun clasped his fists and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the minister is absolutely true. Your Majesty can send someone to search the Shangshu Mansion. After a search, you will know that the huge sum of 60 taels should not exist in the bank. It is deposited in the bank. The one who took the money must have hidden it in his house."

The emperor watched as cold sweat broke out on the forehead of Shangshu Hubu.

"check!"
