Song Huan was stunned and thought he had heard wrongly.
"What?"
Zheng Yuan goes home?
What home can you go back to?
Which house is he going to?
Counting the time, shouldn't this kid have just received thirty blows, and now he is lying on the wall in the cell of Dali Temple thinking about his past?
Why did it come to Zheng Chaodong's mouth that he was going home?
Song Huan wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zheng Chaodong didn't give Song Huan a chance to ask.
Instead, he bowed in a weird manner, turned around and left in a swaggering manner.
The pride and ridicule on his face are ready to come out, as if to say, even if you are a prince, what can you do to me!
Looking at Zheng Chaodong's leaving figure, Song Huan frowned slightly.
It seems that I can already guess what happened.
Officials protecting each other is such a common and ugly behavior.
I just didn’t know that he was the one who ordered the arrest last night.
That Zhou Jue was also a man of integrity and would never let someone go so casually.
Who is it?
After returning to the dormitory, Song Huan immediately sent Huo Qi to go to Dali Temple to understand the situation.
After a long time, Huo Qi turned back again.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have investigated the situation clearly."
"Last night in the middle of the night, Zhou Jue, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, was impeached overnight by Bao Xing, the Minister of Dali Temple, because of poor performance and poor ability."
"The note approved by Sun Wanli, the Minister of Civil Service, overnight."
"Zhou Jue has now resigned from the post of Prime Minister of Dali Temple and has been sent back to his hometown. He will never be allowed to return to the capital!"
"Zhou Jue was demoted, and the people he arrested naturally became unjust, false, and wrongly convicted, and nothing was done."
Song Huan's brows knitted into a knot.
"Although Zhou Jue is only a minor official in Dali Temple, he is also a regular official with a fifth rank."
"Can the Minister of Civil Affairs demote someone casually?"
Huo Qi replied: "According to the law of Daliang, for official positions of fifth rank and below, the Minister of Personnel has the right to directly appoint and resign."
...This official department has so much power!
Of course, this is not Song Huan's current focus.
The man surnamed Zheng was so proud that not only did he alarm the top official of Dali Temple, but even the top official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs gave him the green light overnight!
Although Zheng Chaodong is the governor of Kaifeng, Zheng Yuan is the person he personally ordered to be arrested.
Even if Bao Xing was determined to protect him, he would not dare to offend him casually.
There is only one person who can make a group of first- and second-grade officials to be so conceited and even disobey themselves!
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but grin.
"Grand Master, Grand Master, if you look at the entire Daliang, there is nothing you can't do."
"You think you've protected your own people by doing this, but you probably haven't realized it yet. What you do will only push your grandson into a deeper abyss!"
Huo Qi still didn't quite understand Song Huan's intention, so he couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, do you want to go to the Grand Master's residence immediately to meet the Grand Master?"
"Or, should we go to Dali Temple immediately?"
Song Huan shook his head gently.
"I, the King, have nothing to say to the Grand Master."
"If we go to Dali Temple, they will only find a bunch of trumped-up charges to excuse me."
"It's all in vain if you go!"
"By the way, where is Zhou Jue's hometown?"
Huo Qi lowered his head and replied: "I have just found out for Your Highness in advance that Zhou Jue is from Qiongzhou, which is quite far away from the capital."
"He was demoted overnight. He packed his bags before setting off. He should have just left the capital not far away."
Seeing that Huo Qi could answer all the questions he asked fluently and could even predict his intentions, Song Huan unconsciously showed a look of great admiration.
"Guard Huo, you are really impeccable in your work. No wonder my father can promote you to be the head of the Shadow Guard!"
"Your Highness, you have thanked me very much."
"Since Zhou Jue has just left the capital, I believe that with the strength of Guard Huo, he will be able to catch up soon."
"Your Highness, one hour at most."
"Very good!" Song Huan clapped his hands, "After finding him, he sent him back to Dali Temple."
"Since he was impeached by Dali Temple on unfounded charges, I will give him a chance to beat the drum on his behalf."
"I would like to see what prevarication charges Dali Temple will fabricate in front of everyone at that time!"
Huo Qi wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when he saw that Song Huan looked confident, he suppressed the questions in his heart.
"yes!"
"My subordinate understands!"
After seeing off Huo Qi, Song Huan walked towards the royal study without stopping.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the Imperial Study Room, he heard Emperor Liang's somewhat irritable voice coming out.
"No budget?"
"Tell me, what does it mean to have no budget?"
"Didn't you just recover a large amount of taxes from various chambers of commerce?"
"Why don't you have a budget?"
"The envoy of the Xia State will pay tribute in three years. This time, we must do a great job in receiving the envoy of the Xia State!"
"We must not let Xia Guo underestimate our leader, understand?"
"Okay, go down!"
As the door opened, Liu Delin, the Minister of Revenue, walked out of the imperial study with a sad face.
Seeing Song Huan standing outside the door, Liu Delin tried his best to put on a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Meet the Fourth Prince!"
Song Huan nodded slightly: "Master Liu, what problem are you encountering?"
Liu Delin sighed: "Actually, it's not a big deal."
"It's just that Wei Chen just said a few more words, mentioning that the second prince went to Liangzhouping to spend some money randomly. He was afraid that the budget for holding a tribute ceremony would be insufficient, which made His Majesty unhappy."
"Your Majesty is currently worried about the horse bandit rebellion in Liangzhou. If you go in to see the saint, you must be careful and don't touch Ni Lin!"
Song Huan nodded: "Thank you, Master Liu. I understand."
Be careful?
nonexistent!
The emperor's father is in a bad mood, so it's time to seize the time to make trouble.
At this juncture, if anyone tries to cause trouble again, the emperor will definitely explode in an instant!
Song Huan cleared his throat and walked into the imperial study room under the guidance of eunuch Xue Hai.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"
Seeing that Song Huan was coming, Emperor Liang put down Zhu Biao and finally showed a rare smile.
"You brat, you've only been recovering for ten days and you're still running around!"
"How does the wound feel now?"
Song Huan grinned: "Thank you for your concern, Father!"
"My son has no vital injuries. In addition, Dr. Lu's superb medical skills have given him excellent care."
Emperor Liang nodded lightly and agreed with Song Huan's words.
"Yes, the Dr. Lu you brought back does have some skills."
"The old disease on my wrist is almost healed under her treatment!"
"However, the bandage you asked me to wear did play a big role."
As he spoke, Emperor Liang stretched out his hand and showed Song Huan the silk wrapped around his wrist.
