After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 64 Choosing Who to Listen to
  Ren Yuhuan was startled when he heard Shen Yanzhi's angry shouting. He trembled and quickly pressed the magic block with both hands and knelt down, not daring to raise his head.

The three ministers thought that this joint trip would lead to a triumphant return, but they didn't expect that Long Yan's anger would turn on the entire court officials.

Shen Yanzhi threw the two cents in front of the three ministers, walked out from behind the desk, and stood in front of the three kneeling people.

"The grand master will have his salary deducted for three years, his private property will be investigated, and his property that is not in his name will be confiscated. The land he robbed will be returned to the tenant farmers. He will not be allowed to go to court for discussion in March and will reflect in the palace."

"The Yushitai, Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, and Jingzhao Yin Mansion were not inspected and were demoted to the first level and fined for one year. Especially the local official Jing Zhaoyin, who was the first to know the case, actually ignored it and was dismissed from his post and sent away forever. You are not allowed to return to Beijing."

The prime minister held up his hands and wanted to refute, but he also knew that Shen Yanzhi was giving him face as the prime minister, so he could only plead guilty and withdraw.

After they exited, Shen Yanzhi turned around and looked back, and found Ren Yuhuan kneeling on both legs, touching the ink block with both hands, and his face was full of panic.

"You don't have to worry. I know that your father was punished, and you must be sad. If you want to ask for mercy, just say it, and I will listen to you."

Ren Yuhuan licked his lips, his mind spinning rapidly.

I never thought the opportunity would come so soon.

When it comes to tripping up the imperial concubine, the biggest obstacle is her father.

As long as her father supports Ren Qianyu, he will support her with all his strength. Ren Yuhuan has no foundation in the palace, and her father may give up and kill her if she makes even a small mistake.

This has happened three times, and every time her father is willing to save her, she is able to come out.

At this moment, she was actually happy when she heard that her father was punished.

"Your Majesty makes atonement. My father has done something wrong. As a daughter, I am naturally worried."

"My slave knows that my father is a man who wants to save face. The punishment this time is nothing. If he is confined in the mansion, it will make my father even more sad."

Shen Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "I can demote him and come to court to deal with the anger of the officials."

Ren Yuhuan didn't dare to look up and knew that Shen Yanzhi was examining her at the moment. If she answered a wrong sentence, she would know that Shen Yanzhi was angry and she would be doomed.

So he immediately reported: "His Majesty has made a promise. Since it has been announced, it cannot be changed. Father should also receive this kind of punishment to understand the Prime Minister's painstaking efforts."

"Oh? What pains?"

Shen Yanzhi returned to the desk and reached out to help Ren Yuhuan up from the ground: "Tell me about it."

"The prime minister has good intentions and is thinking of His Majesty. He is worried that after the imperial concubine gives birth to a dragon son, his father will do whatever he wants and make His Majesty a dirty mess, so he mentioned his father."

"If my father understands this painstaking effort, he will definitely accept it completely and reflect on it in the house."

Shen Yanzhi dipped a little ink into the paper and wrote on the paper while smiling: "Do you think your father would do this?"

"of course."

After Shen Yanzhi wrote down a line of words smoothly, he called Wang Lian to come up.

"This is my punishment just now. You take it out to the people in the Hanlin Academy to copy it, and post it in the market so that the people can see it."

"Yes!"

Ren Yuhuan immediately took the pen from Shen Yanzhi's hand and cleaned it in the pen wash. He said: "Your Majesty is in a difficult situation. This servant can see clearly. Thank you for your Majesty's forgiveness of my father."

Shen Yanzhi wanted to put his arms around her slender waist and let her sit on his lap, but he put his outstretched hand on his lap instead: "Okay, let's get down."

After exiting the imperial study, Ren Yuhuan hurriedly returned to Yikun Palace.

Ren Qianyu is well-informed and has already heard what happened just now.

At this moment, he was anxious in the palace, holding a pen in his hand and writing a letter to Ren Tianbao.

Ren Yuhuan also returned to his room, quickly wrote a letter, and found a way to put it in Ren Qianyu's letter and send it out together. Ren Tianbao was sitting in the accountant's room, and the accountant was standing next to him to report, when he received a message from a fast horse.

I heard that it was from the empress in the palace, and I knew it was bad, so I immediately took it and read it.

After reading Ren Qianyu's letter, she got up and cursed: "These old dogs, have you started messing with me before my son was born?"

Then he shouted: "Butler, prepare your official uniform, I want to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"

Mr. Accountant picked up a piece of paper that was falling on the ground and handed it to Ren Tianbao: "Sir, there is a piece of paper left."

Ren Tianbao took it and unfolded it in his hand. His tightly furrowed brows sometimes furrowed tighter, sometimes relaxed. Finally, he held the letter and fell silent after reading it.

The butler came in with the official uniform: "Master, the official uniform is ready!"

The two maids were about to come up to serve them, but they were blocked by Ren Tianbao with a wave of his hand.

"and many more!"

Ren Tianbao picked up Ren Yuhuan's letter again and read it.

"No, I won't enter the palace. Mr. Accountant, you and the housekeeper should leave the house quickly to deal with the private property outside. Get rid of those who are dirty!"

"Go quickly! Find Zhang Yazi and ask him to clean it up for me! Hurry!"

"Yes!"

In the afternoon, the imperial edict of punishment was issued, and Ren Tianbao obeyed the order to close the Taishi's mansion, and no one in the mansion was allowed to go out except for purchasing.

The Yushitai and the imperial guards inspected the private property of the grand master and found that there were not so many illegal properties among them, so they collected them one by one and dealt with them thoroughly.

Three days later, in the court hall, the Yushitai, who was personally promoted by Shen Yanzhi, took the stage to report the situation.

Not only the Yushitai, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, but also Shen Yanzhi were all replaced by people he trusted. Many of these people were young talents who were doing well in the local area but had no foundation in the capital.

Everyone was highly valued, and all of them were loyal and dedicated to serving the Lord.

Shen Yanzhi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, felt much more comfortable when he saw these new faces in the court.

Relying on the fact that he was the prime minister who was a veteran of three dynasties, his arrogance has also restrained a lot at this moment. The officials under the late emperor have been changed a lot. Knowing that there are emperors and ministers in one dynasty, they dare not take the risk to give advice at this moment.

In one day, all the ministers in the DPRK were in danger and acted much more cautiously.

After hearing about Ren Tianbao's behavior, he didn't expect Ren Yuhuan to be right, and he felt satisfied.

Ren Tianbao was still a little hesitant, but now he placed the two letters side by side in front of the table.

Ren Qianyu asked him to go to the palace immediately to clarify, and she would cooperate and plead for mercy.

Ren Yuhuan asked him to accept punishment, and the more cooperative he was, the better.

As for Ren Tianbao's choice to favor Ren Yuhuan, it was because he committed a human life. This is already forgiveness. If he goes in to clarify, it is sophistry. The more the investigation comes out, everything will be over.

It is better to seize the time to deal with private property and reduce the crime.

The housekeeper came in from the back door to report the situation to the court.

Ren Tianbao put his hand on Ren Yuhuan's letter and said, "If this move goes wrong, the Grand Master's Mansion will be doomed!"

With a sweep of his sleeve, Ren Qianyu's letter fell to the ground.

Ren Tianbao took Ren Yuhuan's letter in his hand and said without looking at the message on the ground: "Pay attention to the situation in the palace and send a message to the imperial concubine not to intercede for me! Go quickly!"
