"If they found so much silver, they would be guilty of deceiving the emperor and committing a capital crime!

Bao Zhiyuan was very impressive.

Some of the ministers had already figured out what the Minister of Punishment meant, and they all looked shocked.

But Zhang Shoufu was old and his thinking was slow. He didn't react immediately and asked subconsciously.

"Where did you come from to deceive the emperor?"

"Zhang Shoufu, are you trying to pretend to have amnesia?

"These three people had complained to His Majesty about their poverty before, saying that they would rather not eat than donate to the country. Your Majesty praised them as saints and engraved this story on a stone tablet!"

"But in fact, they clearly have millions of silver in their family, but they lied to His Majesty that they are poor!"

"What is this if it's not bullying the emperor?"

"Perhaps this was earned through business after the day they made the donation." Zhang Shoufu argued forcefully.

"In less than a month, one million taels of silver!"

"Zhang Shoufu, could you please give me some advice on how to earn one million taels of silver a month? If you are the leader, everyone will be like Zhou Kongfang?!"

"Then they must be using their positions to enrich themselves!"

Convicted of corruption, according to Daliang law, the most he can do is exile to the border, which is better than death.

Bao Zhiyuan sneered when he heard this.

"Hmph! Is Zhang Shoufang unscrupulous in his words?"

"Look at our Daliang treasury. In the past month, has there been more than 100,000 silver in stock?"

"Besides, Honglu Temple is an external department. No one in Daliang is stupid enough to bribe Honglu Temple."

"So! If we donate the million taels of silver that only three people will have in the future, they must have connections with foreign countries to get such a huge sum of money!"

"And if it happened before, then the three of them are deceiving the emperor!"

Zhang Shoufu was speechless.

Only at this moment did he realize that things seemed to have reached a dead end.

The Minister of Punishment took advantage of the victory and pursued him: "Zhang Shoufu, I want to ask you, you are deceiving the emperor! Should you kill him?"

"If you are a foreigner, should you kill him?"

Zhang Shoufu was silent for a long time.

Under the expectant gazes of Zhang's party members, he took a step back.

"It's my chief assistant who was confused. He couldn't distinguish right from wrong for a moment. Shangshu Bao really knew everything!"

When you hear this, it sounds like you are gritting your teeth.

Bao Zhiyuan patted his big belly proudly.

"It's good that Zhang Shoufu knows. Since you are an old fool, why don't you resign? Your Majesty will definitely understand you and let you return to your hometown with honor!"

Zhang Shoufu, who was suppressing his anger, stared at Bao Zhiyuan fiercely on the spot.

"Does Shangshu Bao also intend to join the cabinet?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"

"I think you have ulterior motives..."

Zhu Youde hurriedly said, "Okay, stop it all!"

"Zhang Shoufu is the late emperor's minister who took care of life, and he is also the person Lian most trusts. Daliang cannot live without Zhang Shoufu! Bao Shangshu, please step down. You can't live in peace!"

Zhang Shoufu looked proudly at the depressed Bao Zhiyuan.

Fight with my boss?

Do you really think that the little emperor went to court to support you?

"Thank you for your protection, Your Majesty is wise!"

"Zhang Shoufu, please come up quickly. You and I, the emperor and my ministers, don't have to be polite. But I think what Bao Shangshu just said is reasonable. What do Zhang Shoufu think?"

The smile on Zhang Shoufu's face disappeared instantly.

How could he feel?

This bitch Bao Zhiyuan talks so much. Apart from ransacking their homes and beheading them, what other outcome could the three of them have?

so.

Zhang Shoufu could only report back in frustration.

"What Mr. Bao said is right, these three people deserve to be killed!"

"Does it turn out that even Zhang Shoufu agrees? I originally wanted to ask, but I don't feel too angry. Can the crime of deceiving the emperor be exempted from the death penalty?"

"But Zhang Shoufu said this, I must listen! Then just like Li Fu and the other five, behead them and confiscate their homes!"

The little emperor is so trusting.

But when Zhang Shoufu listened, he almost vomited blood. He turned to look at the members of Zhang's party, and sure enough, they all looked at him with strangely distant eyes.

no!

You listen to my sophistry!

I don’t know that the emperor is moved by compassion. He never said before that the crime of deceiving the emperor does not need to be executed!

I really didn’t mean to let members of Zhang’s party die on purpose!

But people trust their own judgment more.

What the members of Zhang's Party saw was that Bi Xiuzhi and the other two people could have survived, but because of Zhang Shoufu's inaction, their homes were confiscated and their entire clan was about to be exterminated.

Things hurt their own kind, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad!

When the members of Zhang's Party thought that if they were in the same situation as the three of them, Chief Zhang who was supposed to rescue them would instead push them to death, the more they thought about it, the more they shuddered!

Therefore, the way they looked at Zhang Shoufu became more and more alienated and strange!

Down towards the back.

The members of Zhang's Party were strangely not together today.

Instead, each one was depressed and divided into small groups of three or five.

Zhang Shoufu was even supported by his son, hobbling at the end of the crowd of civil and military officials, constantly lamenting the treacherous situation in the government.

"Dad, don't worry too much. As long as you are still here, Zhang Dang will never leave."

"And today the little emperor defends you so much in the court and obeys your words, which shows how deep his trust in you is!"

"I'd rather he didn't listen!"

Zhang Shoufu became angry when he mentioned this.

This foolish king!

If you don't know how to speak, then don't speak to him. It's as if he insisted on letting Bi Xiuzhi and the others ransack his house and behead him.

He is simply not human inside or out!

The loyal ministers, including Bao Zhiyuan, Minister of Punishment, laughed heartily when they saw Zhang Dang's scene.

So what if the emperor favors you?

Bi Xiuzhi, these three worms of the country who should have been dead for a long time, were still killed by them!

the other side.

As soon as Zhu Youde walked out of Fengtian Hall, his face quickly darkened.

We went directly to the Yangxin Hall.

"Wang Banban, bring all the files of Bao Zhiyuan and Bi Xiuzhi! I want to see if there is any grudge between the two of them? This Bao Zhiyuan has ruined my life!"

After reading the dossier.

"Revenge for seizing your wife, that's what it is!"

"A good card to deceive the emperor could have led to a big case and killed at least dozens of people! But now it was wasted on Bi Xiuzhi and the other two... this piece of shit Bao Zhiyuan, bastard!"

Wang Zhonghou stood beside him.

He really couldn't understand what the emperor said.

But he could see that the Emperor Mingming and Bao Zhiyuan cooperated closely to determine the death of Bi Xiuzhi and the other Zhang Party members, and disturbed the hearts of Zhang Party members.

But the emperor was not happy and was even very unhappy with Bao Zhiyuan!

"Your Majesty, how about I ask Fan Song to take a copy of Bao Zhiyuan?"

"Why did you join Bao Zhiyuan? If you joined, let Zhang Dang follow him in the impeachment petition, and then change him to Zhang Dang's Minister of Justice?"

"Fan Songna, you will only be responsible for delivering messages from now on, and your opinions must be kept to a minimum, remember?"

Wang Banban felt that his intelligence was despised by the emperor.

But he can't find any evidence!

"I remember this, how about I let the Xichang fans beat up Bao Zhiyuan to vent my anger on the emperor?"

"Am I the kind of narrow-minded person?"

"This is the end of the matter. There are mistakes and wrong moves!"

"Loyalty, traitors and corruption in court, cross-in-laws, small grudges and big enmities, teammates may not be reliable, and enemies may not be able to take advantage of them. And I..."

"I am the referee, how can I suffer a loss!"

Zhu Youde took just a moment.

I got an idea.
Chapter completed!
