The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 600 Unlucky Master Tao (8)
Tao Weicai's face turned pale, then turned red, and he said with a thick neck: "Prime Minister Xiao, please be careful! I am loyal to the emperor, and the world can learn from it!"

"Oh, the prime minister didn't say that you were not loyal to the emperor. Guang Luxun don't need to worry, but you seem guilty. There is no silver 300 taels here." Xiao Jingyan said coolly.

Tao Weicai choked.

What a guilty conscience, why there is no 300 taels of silver here, isn't it normal for him to explain this?Could it be that he just let him and the old fellow Yushi pour dirty water on himself?Why did he feel guilty when he explained to himself?

The emperor frowned and was about to speak. Someone who had come to the court these two days stood up and said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty, I think Prime Minister Xiao is right. The youngest son in the ministers' family may be the eldest son." Chu will need talents in the future. If you don’t train them well, won’t you harm me in the future? Those who say this is just a trivial matter show that you don’t take the future of Dachu into your heart. You just care about yourself now happy, but don't care about Da Chu's future."

Not only the emperor was surprised, but other ministers were also surprised, except Prime Minister Xiao, who glanced coldly at the person who stood up to speak, and snorted silently.

The person who stood up was none other than Jue Lin!

The emperor was very surprised to see Jue Lin stand up to speak, and asked, "Then how do you think Jue Lin should be dealt with?"

"This matter is up to the emperor to decide, and I dare not speak nonsense, but if there is no severe punishment, how can other people take this matter to heart, be vigilant, and never make mistakes in the future?" Jue Lin looked fair. .

The emperor's dragon eyes narrowed slightly, seeing that Jue Lin did not speak, Jue Lin did not hide or dodge, he straightened his back and let the emperor look at him in various ways.

I don't know how long it took before the emperor said: "Since everyone agrees that Guang Luxun was wrong, then I can't be partial."

Tao Weicai's heart sank.

"Guang Luxun, as a minister of the court, you don't control your family well. You allow your family to act recklessly, but you have no law at the feet of the emperor. It's too much! Qi family governs the country and the world. You can't even manage your family well. How can you help me govern the country?"

Tao Weicai's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground with a thump, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, it's because I'm incompetent and didn't restrain my family well, which made them make a big mistake, please forgive me!"

"That's all, it seems to be reasonable in your usual days. This time, let's use a small punishment and a big punishment! Officer Guanglu will be demoted to one level, and his salary will be fined for half a year. His family members will not be allowed to go out of the mansion to attend gatherings for three months. They will reflect in the mansion. Use it as a punishment! I hope that all lovers will take Guang Luxun as a warning and always remember their identities!"

The ministers who turned up when they heard the emperor's words had different expressions, but they all lowered their heads and shouted: "The emperor is wise!"

Only Tao Wei knelt on the ground, the clothes behind his back were completely soaked in cold sweat, and his heart was beating violently.

After retiring from the court, Xiao Jingyan sighed pitifully as he passed by Tao Weicai: "Master Tao, I hope you will remember the lesson from this time, this time you were just demoted from an official position, if you do it again next time, it will not be as simple as demotion The Prime Minister has always thought that Mr. Tao is a smart one, but he didn't want to... Sigh!"

Tao Weicai gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for reminding me, I will definitely keep it in mind after I step down from office!"

"It's easy to say, we are also colleagues, and the prime minister can't bear to see you in trouble, and the people in this family, it's fine if they can't help, but they can't hold back, right? Master Tao, your family is really... ...In the future, we need to be more disciplined, so as not to cause a bigger disaster someday!" After Xiao Jingyan finished speaking, he swaggered away, and Tao Weicai's teeth itch for a while.
