Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 242 Infidelity, Injustice, Incompetence
"He Aiqing, what is your crime?"

Emperor Yun Jing slowly raised and pointed at the gold-plated faucet under his hand, his eyes were full of interest - the old boy He Kangsheng had been holding back for so long, finally he found a chance to speak, and he almost fell asleep after waiting.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the humble official worships the Minister, and is the deputy of the chief official of the Ministry of Rites. He should be the chief officer of the Ministry of Rites, and he should be the chief officer, and he should be the first officer to repay your majesty's kindness." He Kangsheng knelt down and cupped his hands, with an extremely sincere expression.

"If a minister is an adjutant, it is unrighteous to see the chief officer making a mistake without admonishing and stopping him; it is inhumane not to dare to help a scholar when he sees a calamity."

"Knowing the faults of the chief official but fearing the power, being wise and wise and refusing to report to the king is disloyalty; serving as the deputy of the Ministry of Rites but not fulfilling the ability of the superior to persuade the subordinates, having no achievements externally and no virtue internally, is incompetent."

He Kangsheng touched his lips up and down, quickly put four high hats on the top of his head, took advantage of the situation and kowtowed again, speaking sadly.

"Your Majesty, I have committed such a crime of disloyalty, injustice, and inhumanity, and I am incapable of governing the Ministry of Rites. I have committed a heinous crime. I have been a courtier in vain. I will resign from Your Majesty immediately and return to my hometown to retire. I also ask Your Majesty to punish me!"

Chao Ling was stunned by his series of actions, and the sophistry that he had thought up earlier was completely forgotten at this time.

On the stage, Emperor Yun Jing didn't say anything, he only slowly tightened the corners of his lips, stared at He Kangsheng for a while, and suddenly closed his eyes and let out a low smirk.

"Infidelity, injustice, benevolence and incompetence? When He Aiqing talks about herself, she really shows no mercy." Mo Jingyao raised his eyebrows and sighed softly, "I don't know... what kind of mistake did you make when the so-called 'chief official made a mistake'?" ?”

"My lord, the mistakes made by Mr. Chao are cheating, forming a party for personal gain, and taking bribes!" He Kangsheng said every word very clearly, and the courtiers couldn't help but change their colors when they heard this, and Chao Ling's face also instantly White turned to frost.

"He Kangsheng, don't you want to spout blood here, when did I make so many mistakes!" He struggled to the death, trying to overwhelm He Kangsheng in terms of momentum.

The latter was unmoved, still unhurriedly listing his sins one by one.

"Your Majesty, the examination questions that Bao Hui and the others obtained in advance were leaked from Mr. Chao's hands; Lu Zixiu's answer sheets for the examination were also secretly changed by him, and pressed on Chen Feizhang's head."

"Since Mr. Chao became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he has recommended more than a dozen tribute students, and more than [-]% of them have bribed him. Those who give bribes will be admitted to the examination list, and those who don't bribe will be disappointed."

"At the same time, he also has close contacts with the management of the Marquis Mansion. The two exchange money from time to time, which is called 'personal friendship'. It is actually bribery. For many years, the general affairs of the Ministry of Rites have been controlled by the adults. Although the criminal ministers intend to dissuade them, they are really powerless. ..."

"He Aiqing, there is no evidence for what you say." Emperor Yunjing quietly listened to He Kangsheng's list of crimes, and asked softly with light eyebrows, "What evidence do you have?"

"I have no real power in the Ministry of Rites. I have been deaf and dumb for several years, just to protect myself. However, my lord has committed too many crimes, and I feel uneasy, so I secretly collected all kinds of letters, answer sheets, and bank notes. Waiting for the day of great white light."

"All the physical evidences were placed in the office of the Ministry of Rites on the lower left side of the third cabinet of the table by the guilty officials—Lu Zixiu's original answer sheet for the examination is also there."

"And I have worked with the lord for many years, and I know that the lord is good (four voices) to record the bribes one by one, and lock them in the cabinet under the table. Most of them are covered with old official documents."

"In addition, my lord has received bribes of more than [-] taels of silver this year, more than ten treasures and beautiful jade. The spring test is not over yet, and I think it has not been exchanged for gold and silver."

"Your Majesty, you just need to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to find out whether what the guilty minister said is true or not." At this point, He Kangsheng raised his head and sighed, "Your Majesty, I know that my crime is unforgivable, and I have no face to beg for mercy , but it is up to His Majesty to deal with it!"

After Emperor Yun Jing listened, he closed his eyes and remained silent for a while, as if he was trying to discern the truth from what he said. After a while, with a calm face, he slapped the faucet on the chair heavily: "Mu Guogong."

Mu Wenjing, who was almost covered in rust from waiting, immediately cupped his fists when he heard this: "The minister is here."

"Take your men and search Chaoshangshu's mansion to see if there are many treasures, gold and silver hidden in his mansion as Ai Qing said."

"The humble minister leads the decree." Mu Wenjing nodded, took two steps back with his hands in his hands, turned around and slipped away quickly.

He was drowsy listening to these people playing tricks in the palace, and his ears were thickly callused. If he was not allowed to go out for a breather, he might not be able to hold back and take out the ancestral horse-slaying sword. Don't talk about it, it's cool to kill a king first.

Tsk, this old boy runs like a rabbit, does it make him feel so uncomfortable to hear someone say a few words?

Mo Jingyao twitched his brows indistinctly, and looked up at Mo Qingyun: "Qingyun."

"What is your Majesty's order?" The young man responded with a low eyebrow, he knew that it was time for him to go to the Ministry of Rites.

"I still have to trouble you to go to the Ministry of Rites again to find all the physical evidence He Shilang said."

"I obey the order." Mo Qingyun cupped her hands.

"Besides, Brother Emperor." Emperor Yun Jing watched the young man exit the palace, casually glanced at Zhu Sheng who was livid, and turned to look at Mo Jingqi.

"Since both Lu Zixiu and He Aiqing mentioned the steward named Zhu in the Marquis of Anping's mansion in their speeches, to be on the safe side, please go to the Marquis's mansion and arrest that steward."

Emperor Yunjing's tone paused slightly, and he turned his gaze with a half-smile: "I think so, Zhu Aiqing doesn't have any opinions, does she?"

"Your Majesty is joking, how dare I have any opinion on His Majesty?" Zhu Shengqiang smiled happily, "You can send someone to the minister's mansion to find the steward, but..."

"It's so good!" Mo Jingyao clapped his hands suddenly, and abruptly interrupted Zhu Sheng's words, "Brother Huang, I'm sorry."

"Here." Mo Jingqi nodded, and couldn't help holding back a few scattered smiles in his eyes—after these two words from his royal brother, the face of Anping Hou obviously darkened by two points, and he reckoned that he had an internal injury quite deep.

However, this internal injury is really nothing compared to the crimes he has committed over the years.

Take it.

King Jin shook his eyes slightly, stepped out of Qianyang Hall, and subconsciously looked at Mo Junli in the corner who was leaning against the wall of the hall and standing indifferently.

This brat was really relaxed today, after throwing all the blame to his father, he fell down here and pretended to be an invisible man.

"Hey, Uncle Huang, don't look at me, this junior is just here to wander around, don't move." He didn't intervene either.

Sensing his sight, the young man smirked and smirked, then silently hummed a little tune and turned his head away - it's useless to look, if you don't move, you don't move.

oh~
Mo Jingqi shook his lips, and unconsciously there was a little more disgust in his eyes. He didn't bother to look at him anymore, so he silently withdrew his gaze, and Gu Zi led the people straight to the Hou's mansion.

After several people left the hall, Emperor Yun Jing immediately ordered someone to dismiss the other innocent scholars in the hall, and then looked down at He Kangsheng who was still kneeling on the ground.

"He Aiqing, there is nothing good that can be corrected. If what you said is true, then the merit outweighs the fault. As for how to judge the crime, we have to wait until later to discuss it. You should get up first."

The emperor's face softened, but He Kangsheng refused to get up, insisted on kneeling on the ground, and said several times, "I am afraid."

Seeing this, Emperor Yun Jing didn't force him anymore, the more he was around him, the more realistic the play would be.

He just smiled lightly and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Wait a minute, he still has a big show to perform.

　Xiao He: I will label myself a thief!
　　As long as I buckle fast, the charges won't catch up with me
