"Your Majesty …" "Chén, chén …" Li Ruotong was so scared that her face turned white, and she started kowtowing on the bed.

Fu Yuheng actually knew about her relationship with Ye Feng a long time ago, but because he truly didn't have any feelings for her and since she was still useful, he had kept an eye out for her. However, he did not expect the two of them to do such a thing right under his nose. Although he was conniving, but it was still unjustifiable in who, not to mention that he was the emperor!

He only felt dizzy for a moment, this meant that Ye Feng would definitely be implicated, right? She shouldn't have kept this child for so long. If she had known earlier, she would have drank a bowl of abortion medicine! However, when she had brought the medicine to her mouth, she hadn't been able to harden her heart. Tears rolled down her cheeks, drop by drop. How regretful she was!

"Autumn water, I am fine, there is no need to go." Tears rolled down Li Ruotong's face as he wiped them away. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't want to kill them.

Scratching her head, she was still puzzled by her mistress's behavior. However, since she had smiled, she felt at ease.

On her side, she did not receive too much punishment due to Fu Yuheng's indulgence. She had only secretly let Sun Ning pass on a message, telling her not to go out for the time being.

However, everyone in the imperial court was panicking.

"Is the General Shen questioning this prime minister!?" Prime Minister Liu opened his eyes wide, and his beard fluttered.

Salt merchants in southern Fujian have been running rampant recently, while local officials have been lax in their management. Even though the imperial government has monopolized most of the salt, there are still people who are taking advantage of the opportunity to sell it at a low price. Furthermore, he wanted to buy out the official salt and export it at a high price.

"Your majesty, if this magistrate is not replaced, wouldn't that be a disturbance in the imperial court? May your majesty be enlightened!"

Fu Yuheng sat upright on the dragon throne and pondered over the following suggestion. However, when he heard the Prime Minister Liu's words, he frowned.

Although he is a martial general, he still has his own views on this matter. " Replace them? How could it be that easy? "First of all, let's not talk about where we should find a local government official to take care of the salt problem. Even if it were someone else, how many people would be able to manage it?" Actually, there wasn't just one local official in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty. There had already been one before, but that place was relatively chaotic, and basically, not many people were willing to go there.

"Do you really want me to leave such a useless person around?" "Prime Minister Liu glared at him angrily, as if she was going to pounce on him and bite him at any moment." Your majesty, you must not leave this magistrate alive! "

The person on the dragon throne frowned. Was this matter really that troublesome? The issue of the salt had long been brought up, but it had never been dealt with. What do the others think? "

"This …" The ministers looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"You people can't even raise a single opinion! What is the use of having the widows support you? " Fu Yuheng slammed his hand on the table, his almond-shaped eyes beaming with anger as they swept over the people kneeling on the ground in fright. Forget it, Prime Minister Liu will continue. "

Even if he was angry, what use was it? Wasn't it just kneeling and begging for mercy? Taking a deep breath, he calmed the rage in his heart.

"Your Majesty, this old subject feels that the level 1 martial uncle of General Shen does not understand how to manage this matter. How about you hand this matter over to this old subject? This old subject will definitely find a capable person to manage it!" Prime Minister Liu promised confidently, but Fu Yuheng's complexion had already turned purple.

"Ha!" A light laugh rang out, and the entire imperial court became abnormally quiet, their bodies simultaneously trembling. Prime Minister Liu felt his entire body turn cold, and didn't know what he said was wrong.

"A capable person? I think it's your own right-hand man! " Fu Yuheng threw the paper in his hand onto the ground. It frightened everyone so much that they all shrunk their necks, not daring to even breathe.

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me. This old subject definitely doesn't have that intention!" Prime Minister Liu kneeled down with a thump, cold sweat trickling down his forehead as he said uneasily.

However, Fu Yuheng originally had the intention of suppressing him, so how could he let him off so easily? These years, the Liu Family had become more and more daring. Especially after Liu Chugrong became the imperial concubine, they became more and more eager to monopolize the court. In the whole court, there were not many people who dared to oppose him.

"Does Lord Liu feel that he is overflowing with power recently? "Hrm?" Fu Yuheng had knocked on the table and was looking at him with a faint gaze. It made him feel fear from the bottom of his heart. He also understood that the Emperor probably wanted to suppress him.

"A few days ago, Honorable Liu injured my unborn descendant. Did he really not ask Lord Liu for an explanation?" Fu Yuheng changed the topic and suddenly mentioned Liu Chugrong.

Whispering could already be heard from below, as Prime Minister Liu's eyes were also being scrutinized, some of them even had a look of schadenfreude. Normally, he wouldn't suppress them the slightest bit. Now that the Emperor was looking for trouble with him, they were happy to see that as well.
