"Your Majesty, Mr. Su has something to ask you to see."
At this time, a strange voice came from outside.
"Tell him to come in."
Chu Xuanchen let go of Yun Ruoyue and helped her sit on the chair.
As soon as Mo Li opened the door, Su Cheng led a bunch of servants carrying gift boxes and walked in fearfully.
As soon as he walked in, he knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen and said with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I really didn't know much about Taishan before I took office. I didn't know that you were His Highness Prince Li, so I accepted your gift by mistake.
When I remembered what I had done before, I deeply regretted it. I came here specifically to return those gifts."
Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at the brocade boxes containing gold ingots, "I said I would give them to you, so these things are yours, why do you need to return them?"
Su Cheng immediately shook his head in fear, "No, how can a lower official accept a gift from the prince?
I didn’t know anything about it before I resigned, so please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
It stands to reason that he was the one who gave Prince Li a gift and wanted to bribe Prince Li, but he did the opposite.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at the brocade boxes and suddenly found a few unfamiliar blue brocade boxes inside.
He walked up and opened it, and saw that there were many antiques and jades inside, all of which were rare treasures.
He immediately asked, "These treasures were not given to you by this king before. What's going on?"
Su Cheng hurriedly flattered: "Your Majesty, this is a gift from my subordinate.
This is carefully selected and prepared by the subordinate officials, and I hope the prince will accept it."
"How outrageous! You dare to violate the law and bribe me. Who do you think I am?"
Do you think this king is a corrupt official?"
Chu Xuanchen flicked his sleeves angrily, his brows filled with murderous intent.
Su Cheng was frightened and asked, "Don't you like the gifts prepared by me?"
Everyone loves money, so he thought King Li also loved money, so he took it upon himself to give him a gift.
I didn’t expect that King Li wouldn’t want it!
Is he really as upright, upright and selfless as the rumors say?
Chu Xuanchen snorted coldly, "I never accept bribes, Mr. Su, why don't you go to all the trouble to do this?
It would be better to exchange all these treasures for food and feed it to the people.
That way, I still think you are a good official!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please calm down.
When the official found out, he immediately exchanged these treasures for food and gave them to the people!"
Su Cheng said hurriedly.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's livid face, his face turned blue with fright.
He didn't expect that he didn't lie, but instead lost a granary and so many treasures.
Chu Xuanchen already has the evidence of his bribery. If Chu Xuanchen tells it in front of the emperor, then he will not be an official.
"Master Su, time is urgent.
You should hurry up and summon all the officials. I will discuss disaster relief and flood control with you this afternoon."
Chu Xuanchen said.
After waiting for so long, he could finally get down to business.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it right away."
After Su Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Yun Ruoyue hesitantly, "It's just Princess, are you saying that as long as I do good things, my head won't hurt.
Why does my head still hurt when I have given away all the food?"
Yun Ruoyue said: "On the day you had a headache, did you give porridge?"
"No, Xiaguan hasn't given out porridge in the past few days.
Because all the grain supplies to the lower officials have been given out, and there is no more food to give."
Su Cheng said.
"That's it, you haven't done anything good, how can this head not hurt?
If you don't want your head to hurt, you have to do good deeds every day, every month, and every year.
Even if there is no food to give, don’t you still have family property?
