Li Ke felt a little annoyed when he saw that Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance was still crying with runny nose and tears despite his age.
After waving his hands, Li Ke ordered both of them to stand up.
"Okay, I already know about this matter, and I will find a way to find out about it."
"If Lord Fang really wronged the Minister of Hubu, then I will definitely seek justice for the Minister of Hubu."
"It's just that you, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, must think clearly. If it is really as Lord Fang said, now you have committed a major crime of deceiving the emperor. If I find out by then, it will be a major crime to punish the Nine Clan. .”
Shangshu Hube, who finally stood up, was sweating profusely.
After all, Fang Xuanling was able to tell this matter in front of so many people, which proved that he already had his own handle.
But now that I have said my excuses, is it possible that I still have to admit this crime?
If he really recognized it, then wouldn't all the years he spent in the court have been in vain?
"Okay, I will definitely find out what happened today. Since my dear friends have nothing to say, please step back."
After asking all the ministers to retreat, Li Ke asked his personal eunuch to call Fang Xuanling into the Tai Chi Hall where he handled government affairs.
"Master Fang, if you can tell this matter in court today, it proves that you already have evidence in your hands."
"Now that there is a locust plague in the south, I will definitely get rid of all these corrupt officials at once. I hope that you can work together with me to get rid of the moths in the court one by one."
Fang Xuanling, who devoted himself to the Tang Dynasty, was moved to tears after hearing what Li Ke said.
"Your Majesty, I have actually found out all the evidence of the crimes committed by the Minister of Household Affairs a long time ago, but..."
The way Fang Xuanling hesitated to speak made Li Ke have suspicions in his mind.
"Master Fang, if you have something to say, you can just say it. I won't tell anyone else."
After hearing this, Fang Xuanling threw all her worries away.
"The reason why I was unwilling to hand over the evidence of crimes to the late emperor was because the person behind the Secretary of the Household Department was Wu Cai. Your Majesty should also know how favored Wu Cai is in the palace."
"I am afraid that handing over all the evidence will not have the corresponding effect, but will only frighten the snake. So I have been holding back. Now that your Majesty has this idea, I will hand over all the evidence." Here you go."
After Fang Xuanling said this, he began to touch his body.
After seeing Fang Xuanling's appearance, Li Ke stroked his forehead helplessly.
The way Fang Xuanling touched her body didn't look like a minister at all, but like a rogue on the street.
After Li Ke waited for a long time, Fang Xuanling finally took out the incriminating evidence wrapped in many layers from his body.
"Your Majesty, this is the evidence that the old ministers have found out over the years from the Minister of Household Affairs. The evidence of the crime here may not be complete. Your Majesty will have to find out one by one when the time comes."
As a result, after Li Ke read the incriminating evidence, he immediately became angry.
He knew that the Minister of Hubu must be greedy in that position, but he did not expect that the Minister of Hubu would be so bold and dare to be greedy for so many things under the eyes of the late emperor.
No wonder Fang Xuanling had never dared to hand this evidence of crime into the hands of the late emperor.
It is estimated that the late emperor turned a blind eye to what the Minister of the Ministry of Finance did before, which is why it has been difficult for Fang Xuanling to speak out.
"Master Fang, don't worry. Now that this evidence has been handed over to me, I will definitely let him play a corresponding role."
After Li Ke said this, he asked people to take Fang Xuanling out.
After Fang Xuanling left completely, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
After carefully looking through the incriminating evidence, Li Ke didn't know what to say for a while.
This Li Shimin really went too far.
Although he is indeed quite good as a lifelong hero, his attitude towards the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance is really disappointing.
Besides, this is just the name brand Wu Meiniang puts at the front.
What if Wu Meiniang is still training people secretly?
I really don’t know what Li Shimin is thinking.
Although people are old, is it possible that he still doesn't understand that this country should belong to the Li family?
Wu Meiniang, who was serving Li Shimin, had her right eyelid beating non-stop. Even when Li Shimin called her, she didn't react immediately.
"Mei Niang, what's wrong with you?"
After being touched by Li Shimin, Wu Meiniang reacted belatedly.
"Your Majesty, Mei Niang was just thinking about other things. There is nothing wrong."
Looking at the people who had been distracted since early morning, Li Shimin sighed and spoke.
"Mei Niang, you are still young and still have a lot of years left. If you really don't want to stay in the palace, I will go and talk to Ke'er and ask her to let you out of the palace."
"After you leave the palace, as long as you live your own life properly, there will be no problem. It just depends on yourself..."
Before Li Shimin finished speaking, Wu Meiniang grabbed his hand tightly and started talking.
"Your Majesty, Mei Niang only belongs to Your Majesty from the beginning to the end. Don't worry, Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Mei Niang will always be by your Majesty's side."
After being in this isolated and helpless situation, Li Shimin was naturally very moved after hearing Wu Meiniang's words.
"Mei Niang, don't worry, as long as I live for one day, I will definitely let you live well in this palace."
Wu Meiniang naturally nodded her head hard after hearing this.
the next day
Li Ke actually felt a little guilty when he looked at Li Zhi standing in front of him.
After all, his position originally belonged to Li Zhi.
"Brother Emperor, don't worry. Since you have already reached this position, we will definitely not compete with you."
"But, brother emperor, you made an agreement with me to let Mei Niang go to my palace, how could you change your mind?"
After hearing this, Li Ke didn't know what to say for a while.
"Father said at that time that Wu Cairen was the only one who could serve him."
