Li Zhan reselling private salt, this crime is a serious crime, and we must rely on evidence to speak for it." Chu Jing sat on the bright yellow dragon chair, the bead curtain on the crown remained motionless.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I accidentally looked through the account books stored by the household department in the past few days, and found that the account books handed over by the salt transport envoy are not only full of errors, but also have a large number of deficiencies, especially in the Henan Province, which is rich in sea salt, and should have huge taxes. However, I checked the account books and found that last year's salt tax was only a quarter of that of previous years. I wrote to Li Zhan, the envoy of salt transport, many times, but there was no response. I hope His Majesty will see clearly," Wang Zhi said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to announce." Qin Taifu held the wat board in his hand and said loudly.

"Teacher please tell me," Chu Jing said.

"The day before yesterday, Li Zhan robbed a civilian girl in Beijing. The girl's family disagreed, so she brutally murdered the girl's parents and elder brother. This case has been handed over to Dali Temple, but it was suppressed for some reason. I hope your Majesty will look into this matter clearly." Taifu Qin deeply bent over.

"Didn't Li Zhan just return to Beijing not long ago, what happened?" The bead curtain in front of Chu Jingmian trembled slightly.

"I also heard that when he was on duty in Yizhou, he dominated one side, robbed the women of the people several times, committed crimes, and plundered by force," said Tang Yi, the regular servant of Sanqi.

"Lord Li, what do you think?" Chu Jing glanced at His Highness Zhongshuling Li Yan who was calm and composed.

"Your Majesty, during the time when Quanzi served as the salt transport envoy, the national treasury was full and the salt industry prospered. It can be said that he has made great contributions to the prosperity of Dayuan. Everyone in the court has heard of these contributions. Who dares to question, Mr. Wang is your honor." Prince Taifu, let’s not say whether this matter is within the scope of his duties, Mr. Wang suddenly ran to check the account books, this move is really unbelievable, it is said that he accidentally read it, I am afraid it is not for other purposes, I think it was a few days ago Zigouzi sincerely wanted to ask Mr. Wang for a daughter, but Mr. Wang misunderstood his intentions, and a rift arose." Li Yan stood up without looking at Chu Jing, and stared straight at Wang Zhi.

After listening, Chu Jing nodded his head slightly, and his crown shook slightly.

"You, spitting blood, this old man has been innocent all his life, has been an upright official, and has never concealed his selfishness. I hope His Majesty will see this matter clearly." While speaking, the king knelt down, and then all the old officials also knelt down.

"I implore Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly," all the veterans said in unison.

"Are you threatening me?" Chu Jing looked at the large area where His Highness was kneeling, furious.

"Your Majesty, the future of Da Yuan cannot be ruined in the hands of these villains. I hope Your Majesty will be wise." Wang Zhi leaned down again, kowtowed and shouted loudly.

"Okay, since I like to threaten me so much, then I won't be polite, someone will drag Wang down to beat me twenty times." Chu Jing slapped the dragon chair loudly.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not, Mr. Wang is already at the age of knowing his destiny. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the twenty boards. After all, he is the crown prince and grand tutor," Qin Taifu said hastily.

Immediately there was echoing sound all around.

"Why does Taifu Qin want to take the [-] slaps for Mr. Wang? There is no discussion on this matter, let's drag it on," Chu Jing shouted coldly.

Immediately, there was no sound around.

"We'll discuss this matter another day, and retreat from the court," Chu Jing shouted angrily.

Tai Chi Temple.

"Your Majesty, are you tired? This concubine has just brewed a new tribute of West Lake Longjing for you. Take a sip to relieve your fatigue." As soon as Chu Jing entered the door, he saw Li Yujiao making tea for him on the desk, and his eyes jumped. Then the smile was as bright as March.

"Jiao'er understands me best, but you don't need to do these things in person, just let the palace maid do it. I can't bear to part with my Jiao'er," Chu Jing said with a sip of tea and a smile.

"Did they ever embarrass Your Majesty in the court today?" Li Yujiao sat on Chu Jing's lap and put her arms around Chu Jing's neck.

Hearing this, deep sadness welled up in Chu Jing's brows, "Today, Wang Zhi blatantly contradicted me in the court, and I fined him twenty boards, I really don't know what to do."

"Your Majesty, don't get angry. After all, Lord Wang is also Cheng'er's teacher, so you can't refute his face." Li Yujiao put her hand behind Chu Jing's back to give him a good look.

"The prince can have many teachers, but I can only have one Jiaoer." Chu Jing raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of Li Yujiao's nose.

"I hate it, don't make trouble, let's drink tea." Li Yujiao brought the tea to Chu Jing, and got up from Chu Jing's arms.

"Thank you, Jiaoer." Chu Jing took another sip of tea.

"Your Majesty should be busy with important matters, so the concubine will leave first." Li Yujiao bowed.

"Okay," Chu Jing said with a smile.

Standing in the corridor, Chu Jing watched Li Yujiao and the ladies in the palace go away, and said to Eunuch Li beside him, "Have they already set off?"

Eunuch Li said in a low voice: "Yes, I just left the day before yesterday. There are four people in my party."

Chu Jing nodded, and asked lightly: "Eunuch Li, do you also think that I am a fool? You have served the late emperor, and I am not as good as the late emperor, right?"

"The villain has never thought about it like this. Your majesty is so wise and powerful. It is really a blessing for the common people. In the end, your majesty and the late emperor have their own merits." Eunuch Li lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.

As soon as Eunuch Li raised his head, he met Chu Jing's eyes, which seemed to contain a pool of icy springs without any waves, but suddenly melted away in a trance, smiling brightly like a spring day, "Prepare paper and pen, I'm going to the Royal Garden to sketch."

"Yes" Eunuch Li hurried down to get ready.

October is already the beginning of winter, with paraquat and flowers withering, only a few yellow leaves hanging on the branches, and a few small sparrows hopping between the branches.

"Your Majesty is cold." Eunuch Li put a purple jacket on Chu Jing, "Go back." He glanced at the blank drawing paper on the table.

"It turns out that before the severe winter comes, everything has drifted here. I have lived here for all these years, but I never noticed it." Chu Jing looked at the branches, and the sparrows on them had already flown away.

"In the depths of winter, there will be a snowstorm that heralds a good year, and this year is not too far away. Your Majesty will have a splendid sight." Eunuch Li also prepared a hand warmer for Chu Jing, and the exam was very warm.

Chu Jing didn't answer, but just smiled and took the heater over.

"I haven't been to the south of the Yangtze River yet. When I have time, I want to go to the place where the spring is warm and the flowers bloom. I remember that Eunuch Li went there with the late emperor. I think I have already experienced that scenery." Chu Jing looked into the distance , as if you can really see Jiangnan thousands of miles away.

"The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is indeed extremely beautiful." Eunuch Li's expression flickered, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm tired, go back to the palace." Chu Jing sighed slightly.

Zhongshu ordered Li Yanfu.

"You rebellious son, kneel down for me." Li Yan slapped Li Zhan's face with a palm, and Li Zhan had five fingerprints on his face.

"Father, what's the matter?" Li Zhan quickly knelt down.

"You have done a good job. I asked you to clean up the bill. You have always done things hastily. Now you have been caught by that old bastard Wang Zhi, and you have been stabbed to the court by him. If it weren't for me Struggle for reason, you are now staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you know that old thing doesn't like you, so you still don't restrain yourself, I used to handle all those messy things for you when you were in the local area, but you are still like this in the capital He robbed other girls as soon as he returned to Beijing, and even dared to kill people. If he doesn’t impeach you, no one will speak for you today. I can’t bear my old face.” Li Yan blushed with anger.

"Father, didn't Chu Jing still protect us today? He pulled Wang Zhi out and beat him twenty times. As long as he remains obedient, we'll be fine?" Li Zhan knelt forward and approached Li Yan.

"That kid is quite sensible, and he didn't embarrass me today. I helped him up the position back then, and he was obedient all these years, but people's hearts are far away, so I don't know what he has in mind." Li Yan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

"With his cowardly appearance, what can he do? For more than ten years, he knows how to write and draw every day, and he even carves a piece of wood from time to time." Li Zhan rolled his eyes.

"Get up, anyway, be more careful in the future, quickly find that girl to pay some money, and put this matter down." Li Yan nodded.

"Yes, Dad." Li Zhan quickly got up.

"The difficulty is the account books of the Ministry of Accounts. I will find a way to do that. You go to do that first." Li Yan lowered his eyes and sat on the five-clawed dragon chair.

There was a sound of notification outside the door of "Newspaper".

"Come in," Li Yan said.

A young servant presented a letter to Li Yan and left immediately.

"Father, what's the matter?" Li Zhan glanced at Li Yan's relaxed expression and asked.

"A letter from the palace said nothing happened," Li Yan replied.

"That's good." Li Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Duan Wangfu.

"Ninth brother and the others set off?" Chu Yu said while feeding the birds.

"Yes, I just set off the day before yesterday," Qiao Song replied behind him.

"This brat asked me to send money to him again. He needs money every time he travels far away." Chu Yu put down the bird food and said with a smile.

"The Ninth Prince is a child, he likes to play," Qiao Song said with a slight smile.

"Have you done everything I asked you two to do?" Chu Yu sat down and read the letter.

"Naturally, please don't worry, my lord." Qiao Song bowed his head and replied, "Your lord is very predictable, today the court has turned upside down."

"It's not that I predict things like a god, it's because of my nature. Wang Zhi is an upright person, and naturally he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. He has long been displeased with the power of the Li family and his son. I just let him see this account book by accident. I just gave him an excuse." After Chu Yu finished feeding the birds, he started feeding the fish.

"My lord is wise, what should we do next?" Qiao Song asked.

"How is Wang Zhishang?" Chu Yu raised his eyes.

"It may take a while to recuperate," Qiao Song replied.

"Let Steward Wang take out the two thousand-year-old ginseng trees from the mansion, and tell me to get them for me. You can send them to Taifu Qin some other day, he understands," Chu Yu said.

"My lord is really kind. This Qin Taifu has always been on good terms with the Crown Prince and Taifu, so he will definitely go to see the Crown Prince and Taifu. However, this millennium-old man has not joined the palace. Only you have two plants, Lord Wang. I will definitely guess that it is you." " Qiao Song laughed.

"Wang Zhi is lonely and widowed. Today, it can be said that he has lost all face in the court. I should meet the emperor brother soon. After a few days, when the turmoil subsides, I will visit the door in person."
