Chapter 347

The so-called Two Rivers case was exactly an errand that Qin Wansha had discussed with the emperor some time ago.

This is a typical unjust, false and wrongly decided by the imperial court.

In Tianyan's country, there is a place where two rivers cross, called Liangjiang. A few years ago, the emperor sent a talented and famous young official there to be the prefect.

However, a disaster happened that year. Before the official arrived, the two rivers flooded, and tens of thousands of people drowned because of the unstable embankment.

The emperor was furious, but none of the officials in the two rivers dared to stand up to the emperor's anger, because it was their little bit of corruption that corrupted the volume of the river embankment repairs issued by the imperial court every year, which led to this tragedy .

However, in order to save their lives, they made up a lie and shifted all the blame to the young prefect who had just arrived.

Because of the solid evidence and the emergency on the frontier, the emperor mistakenly killed a good man. When the prefect led people to save water at the front line, he was taken away by the officers and soldiers, and even beheaded for public display.

This matter was originally concealed properly by those officials, but he didn't want the brother of the young prefect, in order to find out the truth and avenge the sisters, hide his identity and marry one of the officials as a side king, and he really found out After obtaining the evidence, in the end, the man brought the evidence to the governor, and it was wise to kill him on the spot, which made this matter a big deal.

The incident reached the emperor's ears because the governor was accidentally killed when he was on his way to the capital. When he sent people to investigate, they found out that he was unjust and false.

The investigation didn't matter, the emperor found out that in order to beg for the eunuch's mercy, the local people even wrote the Wanmin petition, but those officials intercepted it halfway, so it didn't reach his eyes.

In a rage, the emperor sent people to take all these officials back to Beijing for trial, but the evidence was destroyed when the governor was murdered. Check these people.

At that time, Qin Wansha said that only she can handle this matter, that is what she meant - she was not afraid of fighting the prime minister.

However, in fact, it is not easy to do this job well, because before being escorted to Beijing, all the records about the prefect and their corruption of ink and silver were all destroyed.

But now, before Qin Wansha started to deal with the Liangjiang case, Sikong Lebai brought up this matter to frame Qin Wansha.

In ancient times, people were very awed by ghosts and gods, and Tianyan Kingdom was no exception.

The emperor and Feng Jun believed Qin Wansha's words for a long time, and they didn't believe in these empty words. However, the ministers in the court, especially those in the line of the prime minister, picked up this matter one by one and started to attack Qin Wansha.

Regarding these doubts, Qin Wansha just smiled and said, "It's nonsense."

This simple sentence seemed to be caught by the ministers of the prime minister's line, and they began to attack frantically.

Qin Wansha's response to this was to take out the evidence provided by Zhao Xiujun and find the local people who wanted to redress the injustice of the young prefect.

The ministers who had been lucky and thought that the evidence would be destroyed and would have no worries panicked, and turned their attention to the prime minister who was going to court again for help.

However, this time, even the prime minister himself could not protect himself-the amount of "gift money" to the prime minister was recorded in the account books sent to the emperor, and the amount was so large that the emperor was frightened.

Couldn't help but slowly closed his eyes a few times to suppress his anger, and then, the emperor reached out and threw a ledger under the Prime Minister's feet, and said with cold eyes: "Prime Minister Xiao, you are getting old."

Prime Minister Xiao stared at the ledger and couldn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him, and her past behavior had indeed been exposed.

But because the Xiao family was the maternal family of the third princess, the emperor still gave her face and asked her to resign and leave.

It's just that for Prime Minister Xiao, if you want to give away the wealth of the sky, you can give it away, which is more uncomfortable than killing her.

But——the eyes turned to the third princess with an angry face but flustered eyes, Prime Minister Xiao also knew what he should do.

The Xiao family could lose a prime minister, but they couldn't lose a future emperor, so Prime Minister Xiao tremblingly handed over his official hat, bowed his back and bowed at the emperor's feet.

Sikong Lebai looked at the grievances her grandmother had suffered because of her, and felt great grief. Her gaze swept to the stern-looking empress on the high platform, and then to Qin Wansha who had a calm face but brought her grandmother here. Hold tightly by her side - one day, she will not let go of any of these people!

Qin Wansha kept Sikong Lebai's hatred in her eyes, but smiled lightly, and didn't say anything else.

It's just that when I got home, I couldn't help but have some intimacy with Zhao Xiuyun, who helped me a lot this time - of course, Qin Wansha also credited Zhao Xiuyun with all the credit for this time in front of the emperor and Feng Jun.

"The plan went smoothly at the beginning." Zhao Xiuyun said with a smile while holding Qin Wansha, who loves Jiaojiao, "Next, it's time to see the attitudes of Mr. Taichang's family and the third princess."

Sikong Lebai, who had lost his prime minister, really struggled again in the court. As for the remarks she deliberately made to frame Qin Wansha, after the Liangjiang case was solved, no one cared about it.

Sikong Lebai's temper became more and more irritable, and he became even more impatient with the affairs of the mansion, except for one person - Guanyu.

Guanyu will always be Sikong Lebai's flower of interpretation and treasure in his heart, even if all the counselors around her think that it is the existence of Guanyu, which makes the fortunes of the three princes in their family decline day by day, Sikong Lebai doesn't care.

But don't take to heart what the counselors said about Guanyu, another matter, Sikong Lebai faintly brought it to the table - about her marriage to Mr. Taichang.

Sikong Lebai suffered setbacks in the court every day, and had had enough of it all. However, the number of people left to her by the prime minister was always limited, and she was suppressed vigorously by Qin Wansha's people. In this situation, she was forced to To use his position as the king to plan for his own future.

Especially when the emperor intends to choose the right monarch for Qin Wansha, and there are rumors in the court that the princes of Taichang's family have fallen into the emperor's eyes.

Soon, without telling Guanyu, Sikong Lebai came into contact with Mr. Taichang.

However, Guanyu faintly noticed that the attitude of the entire Three Emperors' Palace towards him had undergone some subtle changes.

Because of Sikong Lebai's protection and even getting rid of the men in the backyard for him, Guanyu was highly respected in the entire Three Emperors' Palace.

But now, Guanyu would notice from time to time that the slaves around him were sizing him up secretly, and there was something in it--sarcasm and pity?
