Chapter 376

Emperor Yan didn't speak any more. He glanced at the direction where father min was, and the work of checking the quantity was almost completed. Father min quickly walked over and handed over the account book. "It's 92662 to report back to your majesty, with the seals of two adults from the Ministry of household and the Ministry of war and the handover form of Lord Xu. They are all right."

As soon as Duke min's voice fell, Xu Shian slowly took out an account book from his cuff and respectfully put it under Emperor Yan's eyelids, "Your Majesty, this is a congratulatory gift given to Wei Chen by his colleagues for several days. Each one is recorded in the book, as well as the reward sent by his Majesty's chief princess to his house."

Emperor Yan frowned slightly, like some doubt, "sent by Qing'er?"

"Exactly. That day, the long princess said that father-in-law min had something important to do, and she just wanted to come over, so she asked the long princess to do it for her."

Father Min has served his majesty for decades. He is a shrewd man with hair than a monkey. Seeing Yan Di's vacant face, he knows that this should be the basket poked by the long princess without authorization.

But the long Princess didn't know when she offended Xu Shizi, so Xu Shizi made it clear in front of so many people.

Father min is very smart. He knows that one of his duties as a slave is to learn to carry the pot for his master. His brain turns very fast. He doesn't care that an old bone will be wasted if he kneels down on the green stone floor. He quickly takes all the blame on himself.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. That day, the short-lived disciple of the slave was ill and really couldn't leave. He bothered the long princess. It was the slave who didn't do what you told me..."

Emperor Yan didn't give Xu Shian anything at all. Those gifts, including the imperial edict, were estimated to be planned by Qing'er. He remembered that Qing'er seemed to ask him for an oral instruction that day. Unexpectedly, they were used on Xu Shian.

But now, even if Emperor Yan knew that it had nothing to do with father-in-law min, he had to maintain the royal face. He raised his foot and kicked father-in-law min down. "Old thing, I'm really proud of being spoiled."

Father-in-law min got up tremblingly and continued to kneel straightly. "Your Majesty, spare your life..."

"Since I gave it to you and my colleagues congratulated you on your promotion, why did you melt it into silver without saying anything?"

Xu Shian sneered in his heart and congratulated him on his promotion?

Well said.

There are traps waiting for him everywhere. He hasn't done much yet. Some people already regard him as a thorn in the flesh and can't wait to get rid of it.

Xu Shian set off a huge wave at the bottom of his heart, but he still didn't change anything on his face, but his eyelids were slightly constricted, so that people couldn't see what he really thought.

"Your Majesty, Shengming, it's early autumn now. I have received many urgent reports from the northwest border these days. The border is ready to move. In addition, the people are struggling with the recent cold. Many refugees come down to the capital from the north. I am an official in the dynasty, loyal to the king and loyal to the people. These gold and silver devices are nothing but dead objects, In exchange for silver, first, the army can have enough silver to replace grain and grass to protect the country. Second, many weapons of the army and horses department have been worn out. As the saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen their weapons. I also want to do my bit. "

Yan Di probably didn't expect that he would suddenly say such a long string of reasonable words. He was stunned. His eyes were unpredictable. It seemed that he wanted to see how true or false his words were.

Xu Shian looked at Emperor Yan with bright eyes. "As for accepting bribes, I did accept an inkstone."

As soon as the voice fell, he took out a black square object from the broad sleeve cage of the imperial dress, "that's it."

What he took out was a square inkstone. Even if it was far away, he could still see the golden texture on it. It was very beautiful. Yan Di could recognize it at a glance.

This inkstone is called "She Inkstone". It is produced in Longwei mountain, Longyuan. Its stone is firm and fine, as warm as jade, astringent, smooth and ink resistant. It is very easy to use.

Most literati are proud to have this inkstone, including the world-famous painter Bei Yu, who didn't get a piece of it.

"As a civil servant, I should use a pen as a knife. I want to keep this inkstone to remind myself that I can't live up to your Majesty's expectations."

His words were so eloquent that many civil and military officials were ashamed.

Emperor Yan looked at him with deep eyes. Although the words were said to him, they could be heard by all officials.

”Did everyone see it? You almost wronged a good official, Xu Shizi. Don't worry, I will get justice for you. " The painting style suddenly changed. Now Emperor Yan vowed to seek justice for him.

Fair?

There is no justice in this world. The people present, including Emperor Yan, didn't want to kill him before there was no exact evidence. Now there are all the authentication material evidence, and they say they want to give him justice.

Yan Di's move is really high. It seems to be comfort, but he has made enemies for him.

If you are really good for him, how can you make such a big fuss? In the future, if an official has an accident, the account will be counted on him. This calculation is really good.

Xu Shian shrunk his eyes and pulled out an indifferent smile from the corners of his mouth, "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. You adults are also afraid of Weichen's mistakes. Since it is a misunderstanding, please don't pursue it."

Emperor Yan didn't think he would turn the matter over so easily and didn't speak again.

One of them, a civilian like man, stood up and seemed unwilling, "Lord Xu, do you know what you did?"

Judging from the rank level, Duke Cheng is Xu Shian's direct boss. Originally, things were going to stop, but it happened that the old thing was mentioned again. Melting silver is a big crime. Even if Xu Shian was forgiven, at least one can pull down.

The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty did not know that Cheng Guogong was unwell and had not been to the court for many days.

Now it is obvious that we want to make things big by bringing in irrelevant people.

Xu Shian's eyes flashed and he was about to speak. Emperor Yan suddenly opened his mouth, "why, Liu Yushi, Duke Cheng is old, and his accompanying daughter married far away to the north, he felt uncomfortable for a time. It's understandable to leave the affairs of the military and Horse Department to Lord Xu. Do you have an opinion on the decision of me and the Duke?"
