Zhang Defa then learned his lesson, and one day he rushed early in the morning and finally blocked Lihua at the entrance of Tingliyuan.
Not caring about anything else, he quickly poured out what Lu Jieyu and Zhou had promised and asked Lihua how to deal with it.
Lihua was slightly stunned: "Long live the Lord to ask me?"
Zhang Defa nodded repeatedly and said that Lihua was the master of suffering, so it was up to her to make the decision.
Lihua was speechless after hearing this. There were no such rules in the palace. It seemed that the evildoer wanted her to express her bad temper.
But how to deal with her status is not that she doesn't have the courage, but that her little beauty and status are not enough.
If this matter is leaked, it will cause panic among the high-ranking concubines. For the concubine, a beauty is not scary, but the scary thing is a beauty who has the power to make a decision, even just once.
Secondly, if the Queen Mother knew about it, she would also have opinions about her. After all, strictly speaking, Lu Jieyu and Zhou Yuzhen did not have much wrongdoing.
Besides, since the two of them didn't do anything to her, she still couldn't be so cruel as to put someone to death, but if she just beat him up, it would be better not to deal with it.
So Lihua threw the pot away and said, "Please return to Lord Long Live and ask him to make the decision." After saying that, he left.
Deal with the evildoer how you want, she will not add insult to injury, and she will do her utmost to be benevolent and righteous.
Zhang Defa hurriedly stopped him and tried to persuade him. The emperor was determined on this matter and had asked him twice. Whether he should be released or punished was decided by Master Wu. If he could not make a decision, the emperor would think of another way.
Zhang Defa still remembers that the emperor said to him when he asked for the last time: "Tell her, if she can't decide, I will find another way."
These words shocked Zhang Defa again. He couldn't understand why a small matter could become so complicated.
Lihua's heart skipped a beat, but she understood this time that the evildoer was using this incident to make riddles.
After being exposed that night, Lihua avoided the emperor so well that the two barely touched each other for several days.
The evildoer used Zhang Defa's words to ask, not Lu Jieyu and Zhou Yuzhen, but what Lihua thought about that night.
Whether he is released or punished, it means that the matter has been officially revealed.
Lihua cursed secretly, saying that the devil had attracted many enemies, which made her feel confused.
Listen to that, if you don't give an answer, you will end up personally.
Lihua's heartbeat quickened as she thought about it, and she quickly said, "Then let it go."
After saying that, he took Zhichun with him and left as if running away.
What can I do if I don't let him go? Your Majesty, if she still dares to answer the punishment but fails, then someone will shamelessly come to receive the punishment. It's impossible to say whether it was her or him who was punished at that time.
Zhang Defa breathed a sigh of relief when he got the reply, and smiled. He was about to open his mouth to sell himself, but as soon as he said the three words "Master Wu", there was no one in front of him.
He had been carrying the palace seal in his arms for a long time and had not sent it out.
Zhang Defa:...Okay, he will look for opportunities next time.
Previous Dynasty.
The courtiers only felt that the emperor's expression had become more and more gentle in the past few days, which made people panic.
One day during the court meeting, the emperor smiled and ordered four or five ministers to be sent out in succession. It was worse than the time when the courtiers who had just ascended the throne had not yet adapted.
Wu Zhen, a sixth-grade official who was previously treated for surgery, was placed on probation for spoiling his concubine and destroying his wife, and for his bad moral conduct.
One day, the emperor suddenly remembered this person in the court: "I remember Wu Zhen from the Ministry of Industry. She was very busy with her family affairs. From now on, she stayed at home to control her wives and concubines and teach her children."
The person was dismissed from his post on the spot and was prohibited from serving as an official in the court for life.
The courtiers were shocked and confused, and they all speculated that the corruption case involving the Ministry of War was so extensive that it made the emperor dissatisfied with the discipline of the court, and he was busy keeping his tail between his legs, even more than before.
The Ministry of War corruption case is the largest and most rapid major case since the emperor ascended the throne three years ago.
The scale of corruption in this case, the concealment of the crime, and the breadth of involvement are shocking.
The entire Ministry of War was punished from top to bottom, and all the ministries in the court and central government were more or less implicated. For example, the Metropolitan Procuratorate failed to supervise its duties, and the Zuodu Censor was demoted and relegated to the second line.
Even the Department of Internal Health was reorganized from top to bottom due to poor handling of cases.
Not only that, the Wenxiang Tower outside the palace was sealed for unknown reasons, and many officials involved with Wenxiang Tower were imprisoned for interrogation. They were suspected of having hidden ties to the Ministry of War corruption case.
If the emperor does not move, he will be alone, but if he moves, he will be thunderous, just like the style of the prince's period.
When talking about the corruption case at the Ministry of War, there is one thing I have to say.
The old minister of the Ministry of War is getting stronger and stronger. He personally took action and ran around for days to rectify the Ministry of War. He investigated and punished the officials who had committed crimes, convicted those who were guilty, and resigned their posts. He did not miss the old feelings at all, and did things that offended people.
all over.
What surprised the courtiers was that the old minister of the Ministry of War was upright and upright. After completing the most difficult task, he issued several memorials to resign.
The emperor refused. It was the time for the government to appoint people, and the old minister had worked hard and made great achievements, so he dismissed the memorial.
The old minister of the Ministry of War continued to report, telling him that he was old and frail, and that he was unable to do what he wanted. He was responsible for the corruption case of the Ministry of War and was not responsible for it. He hoped that he could return to his hometown.
The emperor still refused and held a firm attitude, saying that the old minister could continue to make contributions to the court for decades.
The old minister of the Ministry of War had no choice but to tell the truth that he was suffering from a serious illness and would not live long.
The emperor was very sad and personally sent the imperial doctor to diagnose the old minister's pulse. Only then did he realize that what the old minister said was true. He had no choice but to give the imperial doctor a good diagnosis and treatment to keep the old minister healthy.
At this point, the old Minister of the Ministry of War retired and returned to his hometown, many vacancies were left in the Ministry of War and other ministries, and there were many changes in appointments in the DPRK.
There were turbulent times in the previous dynasty, so it is not difficult to understand why the courtiers had such speculation.
But what they didn't know was that the emperor was not entirely in a bad mood because of these events.
For Yu Chigong, the most difficult moment has passed.
He took the opportunity to make a major change, including replacing the most senior Minister of War, and comprehensively consolidated his political power.
The best thing is that during this reorganization, the old minister of the Ministry of War was like a mad dog. In addition to the Ministry of War, there were many people in the company, including old ministers with the same seniority as him.
And these offending things were brought about by the old minister.
He clearly knows that his value lies in this, and he is not the emperor.
But if he doesn't make amends for his mistakes, and because of his previous negligence and his pretending to be deaf after the incident, he is afraid that it will harm his descendants and lead to a bad ending.
Many people have been offended, and life may be difficult in the future, but the old minister of the Ministry of War is grateful for the emperor's great kindness to be able to retire and return to his hometown smoothly.
Yuchi Gong saved many dangers without hesitation, and also uncovered many hidden clues about the masterminds behind the corruption case in the Ministry of War. His morale was severely damaged, and many years of planning were ruined. It will be difficult for him to make great changes in the government in the future.
Before Yuchigong ascended the throne, he went to war with Zhongda. After he ascended the throne, he was in power for three years, focusing on stability, recuperation, and replenishing the national treasury.
Internally, we should fully absorb and digest the team left by the late emperor and eliminate the chronic diseases;
Externally, he recruited talents and trained capable officials. After three years of hard work, he finally stepped onto the political stage through this matter.
This is the result Yuchi Gong wants.
He handled the government affairs with ease, but he could not figure out the inner thoughts of a little girl in the harem.
Just when Yuchi Gong wanted to take the next step with the thief, he realized something was wrong.
