Chapter 619: Half a loyal minister, Li Mingcai(1/2)

"I asked you, are you wrong?"

"I know my mistake, I am outrageous. I am too stupid and have a bad mind. I really know I am wrong!"

Concubine Chen said a lot in one go.

She has reacted now and must not refute anything at this time, otherwise she will make the emperor angry again, and I am afraid she will find it difficult for her to turn over again.

Looking at Concubine Chen's plump figure, Wang Chong didn't care at all and his heart was calm.

The information about Concubine Chen came to mind.

Concubine Chen's original name was Feng Chengcheng, and her father was just a small official. Thanks to her good relationship with the Empress Dowager Lu Huan, Feng Chengcheng was majestic in the harem.

Thinking of this, Wang pointed out: "Since I know I am wrong, I have something to leave to you. If it is done well, I will restore your position as a concubine."

Feng Chengcheng immediately kowtowed: "What the emperor wants me to do, I will definitely complete it."

"Can you be a female red guy?"

Female Hong, ancient needlework.

"I learned from my mother before getting married."

Although they are all wealthy families, girls from wealthy families also need to learn from female celebrities. If they don’t know, it means that the girls are uneducated and their parents don’t teach them well, and they will be looked down upon.

Wang Chong said: "Very good. I want you to count the number, name, and age of the people in the harem. For those who don't know how to be popular, start teaching them."

"What is the emperor doing?"

"Don't ask about this, by the way, from today on, you can go back to your previous residence, but you are not the concubine."

Although the location has not been restored yet, being able to leave this ghost place is enough for Feng Chengcheng.

Then, with Wang Chong's permission, Feng Chengcheng packed up his things as soon as possible.

Wang Chong walked into the cold palace and began to think about how to plan this place.

After walking for a while, Wang Zhong made a secret decision in his heart.

After returning, Wang Chong immediately returned to the imperial study room and ordered someone to take out the pen and ink, and began to draw the engineering drawings.

He has been through so many lifetimes and is already very experienced in how to build large houses.

"Prince, the old slave is back!"

After a while, He Taigao came back: "The emperor is indeed a clever plan. Shen An left first than the old slave, but the old slave rushed to the execution ground first. It seems that Shen An is also a slanderous disobedience to the emperor, and his intentions are punished."

"Well, how about Li Mingcai?"

"The old slave brought him back and waited at the door."

"Let him come in!"

Li Mingcai was weak. As soon as he came in, he felt like he was blown down by the wind. He fell to the ground with his eyes red: "Li Mingcai, the criminal, come to the emperor, long live the emperor!"

"Li Aiqing! You...you actually became like this."

Wang Chong hurriedly helped Li Mingcai up. Now when he was employed, although Li Mingcai was fighting against the Lu Party for party disputes, the enemy's enemy was a friend, so Wang Chong naturally had to do a better job.

Being valued by Wang Chong so much made Li Ming feel that he had met Mingjun.

"emperor……"

"Li Aiqing, it's all my fault that I was confused for a moment. I actually made you suffer so much. I'll give you a seat."

After Li Ming took his seat, Wang Chong asked Li Ming to explain the matter clearly.

Li Ming was sentenced to prison this time, which is really unlucky.

There was a flood in the south last year. In order to prevent disasters from happening again in the coming year, Li Ming proposed to build water conservancy in the south.

The construction of water conservancy requires money, and hundreds of thousands of taels were allocated from the national treasury.

But I didn't expect that before the construction of water conservancy was started, I reported Li Mingcai to the prison in an anonymous letter.

If Wang Chong hadn't saved him in time, he would have probably fallen to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the criminals are dedicated to the country and have never been corrupt and abused. Please be aware of it."

"Well, I will definitely check this matter carefully. Li Aiqing, you go back to the mansion first and take a good rest, but don't say too much, do you understand?"

Li Ming was relieved, it seemed that he had escaped.

………………………………………

Lufu.

Lu Zhongbo was listening to Chen An's report.

"Prince, the emperor didn't know what was going on. He suddenly wanted to save Li Mingcai. I originally planned to deliberately slow down and let Li Mingcai's head fall. Unexpectedly, he sent Eunuch He. Now I'm in trouble. The emperor doesn't trust me."

Chen An finished speaking in one breath, wiped his sweat and said, "Prince, do you think the emperor will doubt you..."

Lu Zhongbo sat in his seat with two big iron balls in his hand, and said slowly: "The emperor has never been to the morning court and hid in the harem every day to have fun. Not long ago, he suddenly sentenced Concubine Li to death, and sent Concubine Chen to the cold palace and put the Empress Dowager under house arrest. I heard that he is very close to Queen Zhao Luan now, so he is going to do a big move......"

In fact, it is very disrespectful to be a minister who calls the queen's name, but Lu Zhongbo obviously doesn't care about these things. He is used to being arrogant. Looking at the entire court, who else besides the emperor threatens him?

"Prince, tomorrow morning, the emperor may blame the empress, what should I do?" Chen An sweated anxiously.

Chen An is his younger brother, so he must be protected. Otherwise, he would not even be able to protect such trivial matters. Who else dares to follow him in the future?

"Don't worry, I will protect you tomorrow. If the emperor insists on punishing you, I want to see if he really dares to tear his face!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister!"

………………………………………

Early the next morning, Wang Chong got up early and went to the Golden Palace.

Looking at the civil and military officials with different expressions, Wang Chong sat majestic on the dragon throne.

Below, Lu Zhongbo stood on the right, and as for Li Mingcai standing on the left, Li Mingcai was also a person with temperament, without any concealing his anger and glaring at Lu Zhongbo.

Lu Zhongbo naturally ignored this glare and even bowed to Li Mingcai to congratulate him: "Congratulations to Lord Li for not being beheaded. I am really happy for you!"

"snort!"

Li Mingcai shook his sleeves and ignored Lu Zhongbo at all.

It can also be seen from this that Li Ming is a straightforward person and puts everything on his face.

"Ahem..."

Wang Chong sat firmly on his position, and the civil and military officials below shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

"Flat."

"Speak for something..."

Surprisingly, no one started the report today, even Li Mingcai didn't come forward.

This is because Wang Chong reminded him in advance, it is useless for you to participate in Lu Zhongbo now, because Wang Chong cannot move him for the time being.

As for Lu Zhongbo, he naturally had nothing to do.

Wang Chong calmly glanced at the audience and said, "Since all the beloved ministers have nothing to say, then I will tell you. The guilty minister Chen An!"

Chen An, who lowered his head, felt a little slack in his heart, and walked up with a distressed expression: "The criminal is here."

"You are so brave. Yesterday I asked you to rescue Lord Li. Why did you set out first but you were slower than Master He? Did you deliberately delay time and want to murder Lord Li?"

Wang Chong directly buckled Chen An's face and changed his expression.

"Your Majesty, it's unfair..."

"You mean I am wronged you? Humph, what are you good at? Do you still need me to wronged you?"

Chen An quickly replied: "The criminal was ordered by the emperor yesterday and did not dare to be negligent. He rushed to the execution ground with a quick horse. Unfortunately, the horse tripped by a stone while passing a road and threw the criminal out... The criminal was injured and fainted for more than an hour before waking up."

Chen An found a very good reason. After saying that, he revealed the injury on his right foot: "Your Majesty, this is the scar left by the criminal's injury yesterday. Please tell me!"

Then, another minister stood up: "I heard from the emperor. I think that although Lord Shen has not completed the task assigned by the emperor, he is indeed in danger and is injured. This is not what Lord Shen wants, so I beg the emperor to spare Lord Shen."

After saying that, another minister walked out: "The opinion of the empress is the same. Lord Shen devoted himself to the emperor and devoted himself to sharing his worries. This time, there was a real accident. Please spare Lord Shen..."

Now that I'm fine, it's like stabbing a hornet's nest, and ministers are talking about Chen An.

These people are all from the Lu Party. The main Lord Lu Zhongbo stood there. He didn't have to take action personally to force Wang Chong to release Chen An.

This shows how powerful Lu Zhongbo was in the court.

Li Mingcai was indignant and worried at the same time.

There are too many people in the Lu Party. On the other hand, there are only a few cats and dogs on his side. They have long been disinterested and dared not speak.

"Enough!"

Wang Chong spoke with a cold face, and the whole court was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Shen, I didn't expect that you have such a good reputation and that so many dear friends talked to you are really unexpected." Wang Chong said lightly.

Chen An seemed very proud and bowed: "Your Majesty, the guilty ministers are frightened, and the guilty ministers did not expect that all the great masters would speak for the guilty ministers. Please forgive me..."

"Okay, since everyone has helped you like this, I naturally can't say anything, but... I said one thing about it. If you fail to fulfill my edict, I will definitely punish you. The death penalty is now avoided, and the life penalty cannot be escaped. I will punish you... beat ten big boards!"
