After rebirth, the little junior sister’s salty life

In the next few days, the whole courtyard was dead silent. All the officials were like mice seeing a cat, keeping their tails between their legs. Their usual arrogant and conceited faces disappeared, replaced by faces full of caution and flattery. Everyone silently shrank his neck, not daring to step forward easily, for fear that this sudden fire would burn their heads.

Fu Jingheng sat on the chair, flipping through the account books and letters in his hand expressionlessly. The more he looked, the darker his face became, and the more angry he became. He could never have imagined that these ministers who always said that they would devote themselves to the country and the people until their death would actually do such a cruel thing behind their backs!

Not only did they secretly mine without telling the court, but even worse, they also secretly hid most of the gold and silver treasures that were supposed to be used for disaster relief! These people are simply a group of greedy, shameless, and extremely evil people!

The older Fu Jingheng looked at his younger self with a complicated expression, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but was hesitant. His eyes revealed a deep worry and contradiction, as if he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart.

Qing Ning was watching all this from the side, her eyes full of curiosity and confusion. She could feel that Fu Jingheng from the real world had a lot of things in his heart, but for some reason he couldn't express them easily.

Finally, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "You know what? These evidences are like a double-edged sword. They prove their guilt, but also put us in a difficult decision. The forces in the Jiangnan area are intertwined and complex. If we really want to take action against these people, we must be fully prepared, and we may even have to face the situation of fighting alone."

His voice was low and firm, with a heavy sense of responsibility. My younger self listened quietly, and a serious expression gradually appeared on his face.

He then continued: "This is not an easy task. It requires us to have enough wisdom, courage and determination. But no matter what, justice must be served and those who commit crimes cannot go unpunished. We cannot back down because of difficulties. If we continue to turn a blind eye, what is the difference between us and those corrupt officials?"

Qing Ning nodded silently, expressing her understanding and support. She knew that every word Fu Jingheng said came from his heart. He was like an emperor in political history. Although he was ruthless, everything he did was for the people, so that they could have food and clothing without worries and live and work in peace.

After thinking for a moment, the young Fu Jingheng raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination. "I understand, big brother. Although the road ahead is difficult, I am willing to take on this responsibility. Even if I am alone, I will persevere in doing this, and those people must be severely punished!"

The older Fu Jingheng looked at his younger self and was moved and relieved. He knew that the once ignorant boy had grown into a responsible and courageous person. Although the future is full of unknowns and challenges, he believes that as long as he keeps his original intention and perseveres, he will be able to overcome difficulties and realize his ideals.

Qing Ning watched the two people's interaction quietly, and gradually understood their thoughts and intentions. She frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked: "So what are you going to do next? Are you going to write a memorial to the emperor directly? Do you think your father will really believe everything you say?"

The man answered without hesitation: "Now the people are complaining and suffering terribly! If he still has a bit of conscience and reason, he should come to Jiangnan in person to inspect what is happening here." His voice was firm and powerful, as if full of confidence.

However, Qing Ning shook her head gently. She knew the emperor's character and personality very well, and knew that he would never believe these words easily. The emperor had been in a high position for a long time and was accustomed to being surrounded by flattery. How could he listen to the truth? Perhaps only by seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears could he realize the seriousness of the problem!

"Tomorrow morning I will have someone send these evidences back to the capital as quickly as possible. I will also write down what I have experienced during this period. If my father values ​​the people, he will definitely severely punish these officials in Jiangnan. If he lets it go, then..." Although Fu Jingheng did not finish his words, his eyes were full of firmness and determination.

Qing Ning looked at Fu Jingheng in front of her, and couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart. She knew that no matter which Fu Jingheng, he was a good prince who was concerned about the country and the people. Faced with so many people being treated unfairly, and even the money and food for saving their lives were withheld, how could he not be angry and unwilling?

Fu Jingheng knew that as a king, he should care about the people and their livelihood. If his father really cared about the people, he would be furious after seeing these evidences and severely punish those corrupt officials; but if his father ignored it, it would mean that the government was in chaos and the country was not far from decline.

"Fu Jingheng, have you never thought about replacing him?" Qing Ning blurted out these words, just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing thousands of waves.

Fu Jingheng raised his head abruptly upon hearing this, with a flash of astonishment and surprise in his eyes. He stared at Qing Ning in a daze, as if he couldn't believe what he heard. At the same time, the other Fu Jingheng also raised his head with a complicated expression on his face. Although they were dissatisfied with their father's decision, they had never thought of doing so.

After a moment's silence, Fu Jingheng slowly said, "Never thought about it." His voice was low and firm, with an unshakable determination.

Qing Ning shook her head slightly, as if she was not satisfied with his answer. She looked straight into Fu Jingheng's eyes and said without flinching, "How can your ambitions be realized without the support of power? You should know better than anyone that your father doesn't value what you say. Every time you submit a memorial, he ruthlessly throws it into a corner and no one cares about it." Her tone revealed a hint of helplessness and regret.

"But even so, I have never thought of replacing father's position!" Fu Jingheng's tone was very firm, without the slightest hesitation, as if he had never coveted that supreme position at all.

"Why don't you think about it? No matter which of you brothers ascends the throne, the ending may not be satisfactory. First of all, your end may not be too good; secondly, the next emperor may not be someone who truly cares about the people and has the people of the world in his heart!"

Qing Ning's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and finally caused a ripple in the hearts of the two men. They didn't really care what their final fate would be. All they hoped for was that the common people could live a stable and happy life without worries about food and clothing.

Next, Fu Jingheng asked the guards to send all the letters and evidence back to the capital. At the same time, he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that this time he could thoroughly expose the crimes of those people and give justice to the people.

One day later, in the emperor's study in the capital, a guard walked up with a nervous look.

\"Your Majesty, the Second Prince sent a letter and some important items. Would Your Majesty like to take a look?\"

The emperor, who originally wanted to throw these things aside as he did before, suddenly remembered the importance of this incident, so he immediately changed his mind and asked someone to bring the things over.

The emperor slowly opened the letter, and when he saw the contents of the letter, his face instantly became extremely gloomy. Then, he looked at the other items in the package, his eyes filled with anger.

\"Bang!\" With a crisp sound, the emperor slammed the table hard, and the guards around him were so scared that they immediately knelt on the ground.

\"How ridiculous! These people actually dared to open a mine privately and even wanted to disregard the lives of those people. They are simply insane! Do they still have the law in their eyes? \" The emperor roared in anger.

His voice echoed in the study, as if he wanted to vent all his anger. At this moment, the emperor was filled with anger towards the criminals, and indignation at their daring to open a mine privately, and of course, the people. He finally made up his mind to thoroughly investigate the matter, severely punish the perpetrators, and give an explanation to the innocent people.

He immediately took a pen and wrote a reply, and even gave the token representing the imperial power to the guards to take back to Jiangnan and hand it over to His Royal Highness the Second Prince.

At the same time, looking at the guard beside him, he whispered something in his ear. The guard nodded, turned and left the study.

Even if they rode at full speed, the letter and token still arrived in Jiangnan after a day and a night.

Looking at the token in his hand, Fu Jingheng breathed a sigh of relief. At least this time his father was on his side. No, his father was on the side of the people.

Seeing Fu Jingheng's relieved look, Qing Ning really couldn't bear to expose the emperor's true face, simply because her own interests were harmed.

An emperor has a group of parasites he keeps, so of course he wants to clean them out.
