In front of the emperor, Xie Jingyan's words were unusually serious when he questioned Empress Song's ability to run the harem.

Empress Song had a long face. Seeing Xie Jingyan calmly reacting to her attack, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart. She knew why Prince Anding targeted Young Master Chen, not to mention that he did something too explicit and was caught.

Queen Song felt uneasy, but Xie Jingyan looked at Uncle Anding, "The queen doesn't know why Prince Anding started fighting with Young Master Chen. Uncle Anding must know, right?"

Uncle Anding was a little panicked. The emperor looked at him. Just as Uncle Anding was about to speak, Xie Jingyan said, "It is a capital crime to deceive the emperor."

An Dingbo's legs went weak, and he knelt down and said to the emperor, "I have no idea how to teach my son. Quanzi and Young Master Chen got into a fight in the Jin Palace because of a little dispute. I will definitely discipline him strictly."

Xie Jingyan sneered, "Bo Anding is really good at avoiding the important and taking the easy."

Andingbo knelt on the ground, his head lowered even further.

When the emperor saw An Dingbo's attitude, he knew that things were not simple, and he looked at Xie Jingyan.

Xie Jingyan said, "Prince Jin got married, and there were many guests who came to congratulate him. Young Master Chen just accidentally bumped into Prince Anding. Prince Anding asked him to kneel down and apologize. Young Master Chen refused, so he took action to force him. "

"You can get into a fight just by bumping your arm. Prince Anding tears the brocade robe that the princess made for me. Why shouldn't I give him a kick?"

Empress Song didn't expect Prince Anding to be so clumsy in picking things up. She said, "Then you can't break even one of his ribs."

Xie Jingyan said, "Uncle An Ding caused trouble for no reason. Uncle An Ding did not strictly discipline his son. Instead, he complained to his father and asked him to deal with me. What crime should Uncle An Ding deserve for trying to deceive his father?!"

Andingbo's face turned pale and he confessed repeatedly.

The emperor's face was solemn.

Shen Wan watched the excitement and did not mind the trouble, "Uncle Anding clearly only allowed his son to set fire and not the prince to light the lamp. The incident happened in Prince Jin's Mansion. The queen did not investigate clearly, so she decided that Prince Anding was innocent and sought justice for him."

The incident happened elsewhere, and Empress Song could barely explain that she had been deceived. However, she still didn't know what happened in Prince Jin's palace, but she couldn't explain it.

The emperor glanced at Empress Song, who also looked ugly, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's my concubine who didn't figure it out."

The emperor's expression was unhappy, and he glanced at Uncle Anding with cold eyes, "He has failed to teach his son well, and even slapped him upside down. He will be fined half a year's salary. If such bullying happens again in the future, Uncle Anding will choose another heir apparent."

Andingbo quickly thanked him.

The emperor punished Uncle Anding, and then looked at Xie Jingyan, "Even if Prince Anding is in trouble, that's not the reason for you to kick one of his ribs. As a prince, you should act kindly. I'll fine you a year's salary. In order to Be a warning to others.”

Xie Jingyan looked unhappy. Shen Wan tugged on his sleeve, but he didn't respond. Shen Wan hurriedly said, "Thank you, father, for your kindness."

The emperor's face softened a lot when he looked at Shen Wan, and he praised, "I didn't expect that you, a young lady, can be as good as the embroiderers in the palace. You are really good. I will give you twenty pieces of silk and satin."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan didn't expect that the emperor would reward her, and was stunned for a moment.

When you react, quickly thank the emperor for the reward.

Queen Song's face turned green.

Xie Jingyan kicked one of Prince Anding's ribs, and the emperor gave him a year's salary, which was already too light. But after punishing Xie Jingyan, he gave Shen Wan twenty pieces of silk and satin, which in the eyes of Empress Song was equivalent to Xie Jingyan's one-year salary was given to them in advance.

Is this a penalty?

This is clearly a reward!

Queen Song clenched her teeth in anger.

Shen Wan thanked him for the reward, but the matter was not over yet. Xie Jingyan raised the memorial in his hand and said, "Yesterday at the wedding banquet at the Jin Palace, almost all civil and military officials were present. These impeachment memorials only wrote about the incident of the minister kicking Prince An Ding, but they There was no mention of the fight between Prince Anding and Young Master Chen. It was clearly something wrong with someone. I would like to ask these courtiers whether they accepted Prince Anding's benefits and helped cover up Prince Anding, or whether they had offended them. , taking the opportunity to add insult to injury?!"

Shen Wan stood beside Xie Jingyan, but she didn't expect that Xie Jingyan would turn around and pursue those who impeached him.

The emperor stretched out his hand, Xie Jingyan frowned, but handed the memorial to the emperor.

The emperor opened it, glanced at it, and said, "Anyone who only submits a book to impeach King Ling will be fined three months' salary."

Duke Yuan said, "Your Majesty is wise."

The impeachment matter ended here. Usually Xie Jingyan didn't want to stay in the imperial study room for a while, but this time he didn't leave even after the matter was settled. The emperor knew that they still had something to do, and was about to send Empress Song out when a father-in-law walked in quickly. , reported, "Your Majesty, your right minister has something important to report."

The emperor said, "Let him come in."

The father-in-law stepped back, and after a while, the right minister came in.

The right minister stepped forward and saluted the emperor. Because what he wanted to report was not considered a court secret, he did not need to worry about the presence of other people. He reported directly, "Your Majesty, the military commander Zhou Da died suddenly."

The emperor frowned, "Why did you die so suddenly?"

The right minister said, "I heard that he was drunk and stayed by the fire for a while. Suddenly he foamed at the mouth and passed out. By the time the doctor arrived, he had run out of breath."

The military weapons supervisory officer's position is not high, he is only a fourth-rank officer, but he has real power and is much more popular than some third-rank officers.

In my previous life, I had never heard of anyone in the weapons supervisor suddenly dying suddenly. However, there are so many differences between this life and the previous life. In addition, no one can predict life, old age, illness and death. Now that the position of the weapons supervisor is vacant, I don’t know who will end up. It was in the hands of Xie Jingyin, who was still the eldest prince.

Empress Song was ready to make a move, but the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. If she wanted the position of weapons supervisor, she could only fight for it through Xie Jingyin. If she spoke, she would only make the emperor unhappy and cause trouble for Xie Jingyin.

After receiving the news, the right minister went to the palace to report to the emperor. Naturally, he also wanted to recommend someone. The emperor glanced at Xie Jingyan and said, "This matter will be discussed later."

When the right minister's words came to his lips, he could only swallow them and then retire.

The emperor picked up the tea cup and said to Empress Song, "You go to the Queen Mother first, you don't have to wait for me."

Empress Song looked a little ugly. She had been waiting for the emperor for a long time, just to go to Shoukang Palace with him to drink tea from Xie Jingyin and Fu Shujing. But because of Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan, the emperor did not go with her.

Empress Song's sleeves were tightly folded, and she didn't dare to complain, so she had no choice but to step back.

After Queen Song left, the emperor asked, "What else do you want?"

Xie Jingyan said, "Yesterday Shen Du Fei Ge sent a message back to Beijing. It has been found out that there is no food left in the Meizhou granary."

Swish.

Almost the moment he heard these words, the emperor's face sank.

The Meizhou Granary is the largest granary in the southeast. It stores at least 300,000 tons of grain and grass. He prepared it in advance to prevent Xi Liang from committing crimes. Now tell him that there is no more grain in the Meizhou Granary? !

Are Meizhou officials so brave that they dare to even think about stockpiling food for war? !

Emperor Long Yan was furious.

From the emperor's face, Shen Wan knew that Meizhou's officialdom was going to be shaken and a lot of people would die.
