Chapter 151 The Grassroots
Emperor Lan Gan looked at the ministers who were kneeling on the ground and asked in a deep voice: "Whoever said they were going to be killed in this palace just now? Come on, I will ask someone to collect the body for you."
Ministers: Why don't you follow the routine?
[Master, your stupid father is not stupid today, so they are reluctant to die. They are all so fat and greedy, and they are greedy for so much gold and silver. Who will spend it after they die? 】
[How many of these people are corrupt officials? 】
Emperor Lan Qian held his breath. He wanted to hear which of his ministers was an upright official.
So it seemed like he was staring at the kneeling minister, but in fact he was eavesdropping attentively.
[No one is an upright official. He is just greedy for too much or too little. The court of this Lan Kingdom is really rotten. 】
There was a bang in Emperor Lan Gan's head. He guessed that some people would be greedy for profit, but he didn't expect that no one in the entire court would be innocent.
He slapped the long book table suddenly, "You guys bumped into each other!"
Little Yanbao was so frightened that his confused father suddenly got angry. He must have guessed their tricks.
This confused dad is not confused either.
"Your Majesty, I have made an appointment with people from the Ministry of Industry to study the drought in the southwest. Could you please step aside first?"
Emperor Lan Gan: Weren't you the one who was about to be killed first just now?
"If you can't find a solution to the drought, you, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, just go home and take care of your children." Emperor Lan Gan said coldly.
The Minister of Industry, kowtow to express gratitude, was the first to retreat.
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of War are relatives of their sons and daughters, so he was the first to jump out and threaten the emperor.
But now he is the first one to run away.
[Oops, Master, this old guy, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is just a wallflower. On the surface, he has a good relationship with the Minister of the Ministry of War, but in fact, he hopes that the Minister of the Ministry of War will die. 】
【Why? Since they are sons and daughters, wouldn't it mean that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold? 】
[Master, you don’t know something. The daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War is married to the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. She relies on the Sheng family to dominate the family of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Not only does she not respect her parents-in-law, but she also beats the men in her family every day. She married her. Having nothing to do, the minister of the Ministry of Industry did not dare to divorce his wife. Master, let me tell you secretly again, the son of the Minister of Industry actually raised two outhouses, and he already had a son and a daughter, so...]
Xiao Yanbao rolled his eyes in his heart, "You also secretly told me, can anyone hear you?" 】
Dahuang: "..." What if!
Emperor Lan Qian: The marriage between the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of War was still the matchmaker that the Minister of the Ministry of Industry asked him to be.
There is actually so much gossip in it.
It seems that being able to hear the voice of the precious girl will add a lot of fun. This Dahuang is also a gossip tiger.
This is more interesting than the stories told by storytellers.
The rest of the ministers have fled after seeing the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Why are they still here? Let them flee too.
So they all found various reasons and left the hall, and no one dared to mention the collision with the pillar again.
In fact, which one really wants to die? They are just facilitators. Some want to curry favor with the Minister of War, while others do not dare to offend the Minister of War.
In the end, the only minister left in the imperial court was the Minister of War, Sheng Wenbai himself.
He didn't want to hit a wall, he was held accountable by Emperor Lan.
The Secretary of the Ministry of War is in charge of the food and grass for the major garrisons in the Lan Kingdom. Except for Fengjia Pass, which has never mentioned the shortage of food and grass, the rest of the garrisons have mentioned the shortage of food and grass from time to time.
Today, Emperor Lan Qian seized this excuse to hold Sheng Wenbai captive, and then asked the Royal Forest Army to go to the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion to find the whereabouts of Yan Bao. If he could find it, he would directly raid the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion. If he couldn't find it, he would wait for a while.
In order to prevent the Minister of War from jumping over the wall in a hurry, so many imperial guards were put on standby outside the palace.
"Sheng Wenbai, I give you one month to make up for the shortage of food and grass for the garrison in various places, otherwise you, the Minister of War, will give way to Xian and step down." Emperor Lan Qian's words were majestic and sonorous.
Sheng Wenbai: Aren’t they all extremely ill? Judging from his complexion and the spirit of his speech, it seems that he has recovered from his illness. Is there a capable doctor among the doctors at the Imperial Hospital?
Emperor Lan Gan looked at Sheng Wenbai's eyes rolling around, as if he didn't hear what he said, "What, are you going to give way to Xian now?"
"I will go and think of a solution now." Sheng Wenbai said neither humble nor arrogantly.
But I'm thinking in my heart, there's no telling whether you can live for more than a month.
Then he retreated without even a courtesy.
[Aww, oww, this big monkey is so arrogant! He looks so angry! 】
[As long as I, Yanbao, are here, he won’t be able to be arrogant for a few more days. When I cure this stupid dad’s disease, eliminate the poison, and catch the ghost, I will deal with the big horse monkey and those who want my life. I will never let him live either. 】
Lan Qiandi: Woohoo, I’m so touched. This precious daughter is so good.
Hey, my dear daughter just said about catching ghosts? Can she also catch ghosts?
Oops, why is this precious daughter so capable? He has earned it, he has earned it.
After Sheng Wenbai retreated, Emperor Lan took his daughter to the imperial study room. Before leaving, he glanced at Ye Zeyan and said, "Come here too."
He stayed on the roof all night. How did this precious daughter sneak out?
It must have been the rebellious fourth child who took my sister out.
He disappeared after falling off the roof. He must have taken his precious daughter out at that time.
But he abducted two children by himself. Why didn't anyone see so many eunuchs?
Could it be that this fourth child doesn't have any earth escape skills?
Ye Zeyan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing the look in his father's eyes, he probably couldn't escape today's punishment.
So he walked a little slowly.
As soon as he entered the Imperial Study Room, Emperor Lan Qian changed his face completely, "You rebellious son, why don't you kneel down!"
Ye Zeyan knelt down with a plop, "Father, have I ever made you angry?"
Emperor Lan Gan: Pretend, keep pretending. How could Yanbao and Lingruo, two children with no stool legs, get out of this heavily guarded palace? You must have helped them.
"I will give you one more chance. If you don't tell the truth, you will lose more than twenty dollars."
Ye Zeyan: What does this tell me? He said that he did not take his sister away, but his sister took him away. If he said this, not only would his father not believe him, but he would also have to add another twenty pieces.
He gritted his teeth and thought, forget it, I'll just take the blame. Anyway, it's my honor to take the blame for my sister.
"Father, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have taken my sister privately in the middle of the night..."
"Dad, I took my brother away, you can't blame him."
Before Ye Zeyan finished speaking, Xiao Yanbao spoke.
Emperor Lan Gan is even more angry. You are such a rebellious son, and you encourage your sister to take responsibility for you.
I have to break his legs today.
Just as he was about to ask Zhang Fu to find two eunuchs to come over and make arrangements, Zhang Fu came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Hui is here."
"Let her in."
Concubine Hui came in and first bowed to the emperor, then took the feather duster from the eunuch's hand and whipped it towards Ye Zeyan.
