Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 457

Chapter 457

"Father, my son thinks that it is justifiable to hand over the disaster relief to the household department." Huangfu Sheng said loudly, looking at Huangfu Chen with cold eyes.

Lin Yan said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Prince Chen to go to relieve the disaster, so that the victims can know how much the royal family attaches importance to the disaster."

"Your Majesty, I agree with His Royal Highness Prince Rui..."

Chenwang Party and Ruiwang Party are torn apart again.The King of England's party is neutral, and the King of England has gone to northern Xinjiang and has been marginalized.

The emperor frowned and looked at Nangong Lin to the side.No matter which side Prince Rui and Prince Chen lean towards, it is not good, and if the King of England is chosen, both parties will strongly oppose it.

Only independent ministers can be selected.

"Nangong Lin, what if I entrust the disaster relief to you?"

However, Nangong Lin did not participate, and said, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate tried the case of the Minister of Industry and Engineering, and there is no time to spare. And the disaster relief matter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also not well-known. Whether it is the Ministry of Households or the two princes, it is better than the capital. The court is appropriate."

Ruiwang Party and Chenwang Party immediately used this as an excuse and strongly opposed it.

The emperor was undecided, and was troubled by their quarrel, so he said in a deep voice, "Stop arguing! I now appoint Lu Qingming, the prefect of Ningzhou, as the imperial envoy. He is the prefect of Ningzhou and knows the situation in Ningzhou best. He has contributed to saving the people this time. , I should have rewarded him, but the disaster is serious at this time. When the flood in Ningzhou subsides, I will give him a routine reward. Let him go to Ningzhou for disaster relief immediately, and all departments of the court will cooperate with him. Give Shang Fang a sword, see the sword like me, if someone obstructs the disaster relief, cut it first and then play it! Xiao Dezi, send Lu Qingming over."

"Yes." The eunuch bowed quickly.

The emperor looked at Ye Lingxiao again and said, "Ye Lingxiao, I have sent you to lead the Southern Barbarian army to Ningzhou immediately and try our best to rescue the people."

"I obey the order!" Ye Lingxiao cupped his fists.

Wen has Lu Qingming, Wu has Ye Lingxiao.

Now Ruiwang Party and Chenwang Party have nothing to say.

"Father, for the disaster in Ningzhou, Prince Chen has an inescapable responsibility, so please handle it impartially." Huangfu Sheng said again.

The emperor looked at Huangfuchen and sighed deeply, "Even I mistrusted Hu Dawei, and you are not the only one who was negligent. This fact is my fault."

"Father, my son apologizes." Huang Fuchen said immediately.

The emperor looked at him and said, "You don't know who you are, so you should confine your feet to the Taimiao for a month, and go and accuse your ancestors."

"Yes." Huangfu Chen received the order.

Huangfu Sheng was unwilling to reconcile, so he heard the emperor say again, "The capital is flooded, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible to prevent disease. Prince Rui, I will leave this matter to you."

"My son obeys the order."

……

The prison of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Hu Dawei was dressed in prison clothes, unkempt, and suddenly aged several decades.

"Yong'an Dam broke its embankment, Ningzhou became a river for thousands of miles, and countless people were killed and injured. They have committed such a big crime and still haven't confessed it honestly. What happened to Yong'an Dam?" Youdu Yushi asked.

Hu Dawei was in a trance, as if there was still a torrential flood in front of him. Fortunately, he ran fast, but many officials from the Ministry of Industry who followed him were swept away by the flood before they could escape.

"Last year... Last year, the imperial court allocated funds to rebuild it. I... I didn't repair it..." Hu Dawei said with a face of regret, "I thought the north would not encounter such a big flood, but the outside was covered with a layer, and the inside... didn't move. ..."

Yushi Youdu said coldly, "Where did the money allocated to you by the imperial court go? If you paste the outside, it probably won't cost tens of thousands of taels."

"I took away 80 yuan, of which 20 yuan was used for management, and the remaining 20 yuan was used for reconstruction. I don't know how much of the [-] yuan actually fell on Yong'an Dam, and was taken away by the people below. How much..." Hu Dawei said dejectedly.

Youdu Yushi said, "Hu Dawei, do you want to carry the 80 taels of silver by yourself? His Excellency knows that there are people behind you. As long as you are willing to confess honestly, then you are just an accessory. Although your death is inevitable, your family members , will not be implicated. Otherwise, not only will you die, but your entire family will be implicated."

"I know that I cannot escape the death penalty. No one instigated me, no one, but I am greedy." Hu Dawei clenched his fists and said.

Youdu Yushi snorted coldly, "Come here, torture me!"

"No, my lord, I have already recruited, you are trying to beat me into a trick!" Hu Dawei said in panic.

But it has been dragged down by two officials.

After a series of punishments, Hu Dawei was still killed by himself, and it had nothing to do with anyone.

"My lord, I didn't expect Hu Dawei to be cowardly and money-greedy, but he's still tough. No matter how we torture him, he didn't do it." Youdu Yushi said in a dilemma.

They thought that Hu Dawei was a softie who would recruit everything, but he didn't expect that he was beaten all over his body, and he still refused to confess.

"If he betrayed Prince Chen so easily, Prince Chen would not trust him so much." Jun Mochen said lightly.

Youdu Yushi said, "Then... is this the end of the case?"

"No. Continue the interrogation, my lord. You have to be happy, reveal a little bit of words, let outsiders think that Hu Dawei has gradually loosened up under the coercion and temptation, and there are signs of being frank and lenient... It only takes a few more days of hard work, and you will be able to Know who is behind Hu Dawei." Jun Mochen waved his folding fan, his eyes sparkled with wisdom, "Send more people to guard the prison."

Youdu Yushi was convinced, "Master, this plan of alienation is well used, presumably the people behind Hu Dawei can't help but come out to silence the rumors. When the time comes, it will happen to catch someone's stolen goods and get it!"

……

Chenwang Mansion.

"Hu Dawei, that idiot, was arrested and wanted to recruit His Highness. Your Highness, do you want me to wipe him off!" Hua Mingkun made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Huangfuchen shook his head slightly, "No need. Hu Dawei won't believe the rhetoric of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If he betrays me, he knows the consequences. If he does, I will protect his family. Mingkun, go down and make arrangements. Being implicated, or sold into a teaching workshop, or exiled to the frontier, you have to save them without anyone noticing."

"My lord, Hu Dawei is dead, you still care about his family?" Hua Mingkun was puzzled, "This idiot made such a big mess for the lord, it's good that the lord didn't kill them all."

Huangfuchen said indifferently, "Hu Dawei is dead, but other ministers are watching. How I treat Hu Dawei today will be how they will repay me in the future. However, this king does not want to have this kind of trouble again."

"Your Highness is brilliant!" Hua Mingkun suddenly realized.

……

Chaohuang Academy, Phoenix Palace.

The torrential rain continued, and the academy was still closed. Only the ladies of Chaohuang Sigong returned to the academy because they received the imperial edict.

The stagnant water in the capital was finally cleared, but after leaving the capital, the northern land was covered with vast ocean.

"It's been raining for 20 days. When will it stop? My father won't let me go out!" Xie Qishuang said as she walked in, shaking off the rain from her lapel.
