"Spare your life? If I spare you, will the Empress spare me?"
Jing Heng cursed.
"You take all the responsibility. I promise to take good care of your son and let him serve as an official in the court. His future will not be worse than yours. I swear to God!"
Jing Heng raised his hands and swore.
Chen Hanying knew that this matter was too big and someone had to take the blame, and he couldn't escape.
Jing Heng swore to God that he would take good care of his son and give him a future, so he gave up.
"Okay, sir, don't forget today's oath."
Chen Hanying left the household department numbly. She first went home to say goodbye to her parents, wife and children, and then went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to surrender.
Jing Heng sat on the desk and said coldly: "I will naturally take care of my seed."
West Palace.
A large spear flashed with cold light, making a whistling sound that broke through the air. An iron gun swung open the large spear, and its red tassels fluttered.
In the blink of an eye, there have been more than ten rounds of fighting.
Qingyue watched the two of them going back and forth, fighting neck to neck, and exclaimed: "Xiao Longlong is so talented. He can actually compete with the princess in a year."
Xuan Yi nodded and said: "Although the princess let him, if he can practice like this in a year, a genius can only do that."
Di Luoxi put away the big straw, Qingyue brought the water over, Di Luoxi washed her hands and wiped them with a towel.
"Xiao Longlong, your martial arts qualifications are so good, why didn't you practice before?"
Di Luoxi seemed to be speaking carelessly, but she meant to question him.
Long Chen said that he used to be a bodyguard in the Long Family Army, a small role doing odd jobs.
But the qualifications shown now are too good to be justified.
"The princess has a discerning eye and gave me the Tyrannical Spear Skill. In the past, I only did some civil service work, and I didn't find that I had any talent in this area."
"Oh? Then I really found a treasure."
Di Luoxi took off her coat. This was the time when Qiu Huhu showed his strength, and the fight was very sweaty. "Bath."
Di Luoxi was wearing a thin gauze dress, revealing the pink obscene clothes underneath.
Long Chen was familiar with the road, inserted the iron gun on the shelf, and followed Di Luoxi into the bath.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue accompanied Di Luoxi into the bathtub. Long Chen went in last, while Zhang Qian stayed outside.
Long Chen washed himself clean first, then picked up a towel and wiped his arms and chest muscles. The masculine temperament on his body was particularly attractive.
Di Luoxi looked at Long Chen's strong body and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Longlong, it's been a year since you entered the palace, why haven't the muscles on your body disappeared?"
After the eunuch is cut, the male hormones will decrease in about three months, and then the muscles will soften and the lines will become worse, becoming a eunuch with neither yin nor yang.
But Long Chen's body still looks like a man after so long, which is very strange.
Long Chen chuckled and said: "Maybe it's because of my martial arts training. The princess suspects that I am a fake eunuch? You can verify my identity on the spot."
This was originally a joke, but Di Luoxi got interested in it, pointed her hand and said, "Verify your identity for me!"
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue immediately rushed over and pushed Long Chen to the edge of the pool, one person with one leg.
"Princess, please prove your identity!"
The two people laughed obscenely and evilly, and all the maids in the bathroom started laughing too.
Di Luoxi walked over in a serious manner, lowered her head to look carefully, and then sighed: "What a pity, it's a pity that such a good skin and such a good talent is actually a eunuch, otherwise I would recruit you as my consort.
"
Long Chen turned over and dived into the bath, then emerged and said, "Did the majestic princess keep her word?"
Di Luoxi swam to Long Chen like an elf in the water, and deliberately teased: "Forget it, you will grow one for me, hahaha."
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it will be the next life."
Zhang Qianye
He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness, my humble position also said this, let's live in the next life."
In the bathroom, a dozen stunning beauties were mocking Long Chen for being a eunuch.
Long Chen hugged Di Luoxi, slowly drew circles with his hands, and said: "Withered trees still have their spring, but eunuchs don't have the time to be reborn?"
Di Luoxi chuckled and said: "Rebirth? You grow one, and I'll cut one off!"
This makes me speechless and unable to talk.
"Your Highness, how do you think the household affairs will be handled in the end?"
Long Chen got back to business.
Di Luoxi fiddled with the water and said, "What else can I do, just find a scapegoat."
"There are strong enemies on all sides of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The General's Palace guards the west and north. If you move the General's Palace, you will disturb the foundation of Eastern Zhou Dynasty. There is nothing you can do."
Jing Tianlie's Red Flame Army was the elite of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. All of the troops were men. They were brave and good at fighting. They guarded the West Gate and the North Gate of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and were unshakable.
Even if Jing Heng embezzled the Hubu's money, the empress could not do anything to him.
"It is not a good thing for a country to rely too much on its ministers, especially military generals. It is easy for them to lose their power."
Long Chen said lightly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Did Emperor Li Chengdao of Nanliang have the same consideration when he originally planned to eradicate the Long Family Army?
"So the queen mother sent the third sister to the north to train troops. Linjiang City in the south is guarded by Li Xiannan, so we have to go to the west."
Di Luoxi didn't look playful and spoke very seriously.
The empress did this to weaken Jing Tianlie's status, and Jing Tianlie would not sit still and wait for death.
"Stop talking about this, just take a shower and give me a full set of maintenance."
Di Luoxi lay on the edge of the pool and let Long Chen play with him.
Daming Palace.
The empress sat at the top, and the phoenix chair had been replaced.
The ministers were standing below, and no one spoke.
In this court meeting, the household department must be responsible for the deficit. It's a big deal that things are settled.
"Shang Shu, how is it that I asked you to self-examine?"
The empress asked directly.
Jing Heng came out and worshiped: "Your Majesty, after a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, we found that the Minister of Household Affairs, Chen Hanying, was a thief, deceived his superiors and deceived his subordinates, and took advantage of his position to make huge profits. He has surrendered to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"
"The Ministry of Household Affairs and the local Ministry of Household Affairs have made a list of all those involved in the embezzlement case. Please see it before your Majesty."
Jing Heng presented a roster, and Yingfeng took it and handed it to the empress.
The empress took a look and said to Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "Check on the roster!"
Bai Anning accepted the order.
"The Minister of Hubu is the mastermind, but as the Minister of Hubu, you failed to manage the Hubu well. If you don't punish it, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"From today on, you can listen to the instructions at home, and you don't need to take care of the household department."
The empress removed Jing Heng's position as Minister of Household Affairs, which was expected. Jing Heng was not dissatisfied, but felt that he had lost a mess.
"Thank you, Lord, for your grace."
Jing Heng returned to the train and stood still.
The case in the household department was held up high and put down gently. Everyone knew that the mastermind was Jing Heng and that the last person to die was Chen Hanying. Everyone also knew that it was because of Jing Tianlie.
Emperor Yu came out slightly and said, "Your Majesty, 580,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the house of Chen Hanying, the Minister of Household Affairs, and a total of 230,000 taels were confiscated from other officials."
"These copies have covered part of the expenses, but there is still a deficit of more than 6 million taels."
It is easy to detect corrupt officials, but filling the holes is a big problem.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs has a deficit of 6 million taels. How to solve this matter? My dear friends, please tell me."
The empress spoke.
None of the ministers in the court said anything. The Ministry of Household Affairs was a huge mess. Whoever took over the job would be in trouble.
At this time, Jing Heng suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Long Cheng'en, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is very resourceful. Why not let him serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which will definitely solve the deficit problem."
