In the imperial study room.
Han Qingru respectfully accepted the memorial from Zheng Cheng, opened it and took a closer look:
"This is the secret of the impeachment investigation of Qi Shangshu."
Emperor: "Well, although it was done by Mobei spies, it was completely deceived and the case was unjustly investigated. What do you think?"
"In my humble opinion, Qi Shangshu is indeed responsible for the oversight, but he will not be dismissed from office and exiled as stated in the impeachment."
The emperor was reviewing the memorial and said without raising his head:
"I heard that you seem to have a personal relationship with the King of Jin. Is your statement for public or private reasons?"
When Han Qingru heard this, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down:
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen does have a personal relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and it is only a personal relationship. Everything Wei Chen has is given by His Majesty. Your Majesty's love is appreciated and I dare not forget it for a moment. What I just said is wrong. people."
The emperor raised his hand: "I just want to ask, don't be so serious and stand up to speak. In these years, Qi Quan has been in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and there has been no major mistakes. Government affairs have never been delayed. We really cannot be exempted from Mobei's instigation. His position. But he was fooled after all, and he still needs to be punished."
"Your Majesty said so."
The emperor clicked on the memorial beside him, and Zheng Cheng stepped forward to take it and handed it to Han Qingru.
"Look at this again."
Han Qingru: "The Salt Transportation Department has just been established, and all the aristocratic families recommend Mr. Tangge. Unless there is any accident, this year's Salt Transportation Department will be Mr. Tangge. Mr. Tangge took this advantage because he wanted to bring some people into the Salt Transportation Department. "
After reviewing the memorial in his hand, the emperor put down his pen and took the hot tea from Zheng Cheng:
"The brochure also comes with a list of personnel. There are children from several big families. A bowl of water is quite smooth. Look at the last person."
Han Qingru reopened it and read:
"Which family does this Meng Jie come from? There is no one with the surname Meng among the famous families."
Zheng Cheng saw the emperor drinking tea and answered with a smile:
"Does Han Shangshu know that Xiao Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry has recognized his son?"
"I've heard that Shangshu Xiao has a son who is an apprentice to the miracle doctor of Cang Sheng Mountain. Shangshu Xiao refused to return home after several attempts to persuade him. Is this Meng Jie? Since he is Shangshu Xiao's son, why is his surname Meng? ?”
Zheng Cheng told the past events of the Xiao family, and Han Qingru suddenly realized:
"I see. Meng Jie must have complained about the Meng family. Not only did he change his surname, but he also refused to return to the Xiao family. But why did Mr. Tang Ge bring Meng Jie to the Salt Transportation Department? Is it to make up for his granddaughter? ?”
Emperor: "I don't know why. The Salt Transportation Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Tang Ge veteran brought these people into the Salt Transportation Department. You must be more careful. Since the salt has returned to the treasury, there is no reason to take it out."
Thinking of the marriage relationship between Mr. Tang Ge and Xiao Shangshu, and also thinking that Xiao Shangshu belonged to the Qin King's party, Han Qingru immediately understood the stakes:
Your Majesty is afraid that Mr. Tang Ge, together with several aristocratic families, took advantage of Meng Jie's blood relationship and followed Xiao Shangshu to establish a line with the King of Qin to help the King of Qin achieve his goals.
Longevity Palace.
After the Queen Mother finished reciting Buddhist scriptures, she was supported by Chen Momo:
"How about the other side of Wangshu Palace?"
"I saw him, he said he was happy chatting with her, and even kept him for dinner."
The Queen Mother walked slowly and sighed helplessly:
"It's still like a treasure after so many years. It's just a little medicine. It's worth a special trip to talk about it. I don't want to think about who the Aijia is for. If the child goes to the Shanchuan Altar when he is young, he will talk too much in front of people. If others find out, not only will the lives of the mother and son be lost, but the royal family’s face will also be lost.”
