Chapter 426 Qingling takes the initiative to ask for punishment
The Minister of Hube looked at Gu Jinyan, who was dressed in bright colors. He thought of the advice of the Minister of Works some time ago. At that time, he said that he should protect himself wisely and not go against the Princess Regent.
What was he thinking at that time? He thought that the Princess Regent was still a womanizer no matter what.
Even if he has some cleverness and calculations, he still relies on internal methods. Even if he knows the affairs of the medical center and the border affairs, in his eyes, it is the full help of the Gu family and the regent. There is no external factor, just rely on
It was impossible to hold her own.
So when he got this job, he wanted to give it a try.
It is too difficult for people like him to continue to advance in Kyoto.
So what he was thinking was that since the regent was not here, he just sent something and sent it back. Everything had nothing to do with him, and he could get what he wanted by relying on this matter.
It ended up falling here.
I couldn't help but feel regret in my heart.
It shouldn't be.
He shouldn't covet this moment.
He couldn't hear what the Princess Regent was saying for a moment. He thought of his family, many things, and his own consequences.
He couldn't get rid of this matter.
It depends on whether the higher-ups are willing to protect him.
Decades of hard work were ruined at this moment.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Gu Jinyan was in front of him, looking at him carefully, wanting to know what he was thinking.
Only then did the Minister of Hube come back to his senses and see clearly who was talking to him.
"I don't know, I don't know anything." Minister Tobe said, his eyes already red.
He really didn't know that there was a problem with the money.
I just knew there was something wrong with the money.
Shangshu is really brave.
How dare you lie like this.
But thinking about it carefully, this matter is full of dangers. If the Princess Regent hadn't personally inspected it, the matter would have been over, and the people in her hands would not have seen the clues.
This circle follows another.
Whenever something goes wrong there, someone's plan will fail.
"Your Majesty the Minister?" Gu Jinyan shouted: "Since you don't know, then this is a problem with the Ministry of Finance. Come on, I will take you to the Ministry of Finance to find out. As long as this matter has nothing to do with the Sir, I will definitely be able to do it."
Help the Lord Assistant."
The Minister of Household Affairs looked at the regent princess, he was looking down on her.
He should have listened to Fulian and found a way to avoid the disaster.
His face turned white and red, red and white again, and when she was about to leave, he stopped him and shouted: "Princess Regent, this matter is the fault of the lower official. When the lower official saw that the money and silk were moving, he had evil intentions.
"Although I am a minister, my life has been very difficult over the years."
"The official has pleaded guilty."
The Minister of Household Affairs lowered his head very low.
He admitted it and only hoped that the higher-ups could save his family.
But if he followed the Princess Regent to cause trouble in the Ministry of Finance, then he would be completely finished. After serving as an official for so many years, he still knew what to choose. He only had himself to blame for being greedy.
After all, it can't be washed away.
"Are you sure, Sir? Do you want to plead guilty or deal with this matter with this princess?" Gu Jinyan stood and looked at him.
How could a little waiter do this in a short period of time?
She just depends on his choice and vision.
The Minister of Tobe looked at her with a trace of hesitation and confusion in his eyes.
Finally he sighed: "I'm sure, I've confessed my guilt."
"In that case, should the Minister of Hubu go to Hubu in person to confess his guilt and bring real money and silver, or should I, the princess, take you there?" Gu Jinyan asked expressionlessly.
"Your Majesty knows what to do." Minister Hube said.
He hurried back with the people he brought, but these eight boxes were not taken away. This was evidence of guilt, and there was official silver engraved on them.
Gu Jinyan looked at his back as he left in a hurry.
"This Minister of Household Affairs is so courageous." Xiaochun said angrily: "I almost killed the princess. If I accept it today, the princess will suffer a loss, which is a total of 1.5 million taels. This is a lot of money."
Just put it in by yourself, our own money doesn’t have the official silver mark yet, so if we put it in, we have to be told.”
"A small minister can't accomplish this." Qing Ling looked solemn: "There are many people who have colluded with each other in this matter."
"Then if he pleads guilty, doesn't he take the blame?" Xiaochun asked in confusion.
Qing Ling shook her head, these things were complicated to talk about.
It didn't look like he didn't know anything just now, but maybe he didn't know that much of the truth, otherwise he wouldn't have been so surprised when he saw there was something wrong with the money.
"It doesn't matter. He knew some of the situation, but he still chose to come. It's his own problem. It's not innocent. The princess also asked just now. He chose to bear the responsibility. No one can blame him." Qing Ling
Said seriously.
They knelt down at the same time.
"Princess, please punish me." Qing Ling said with a solemn expression.
The princess entrusted her with these matters, but she didn't notice it just now. If the princess hadn't taken a look personally, she would have paid a heavy price for her negligence.
It really shouldn’t be.
In the secret guard camp, this means that the mission has not been completed, which is a big mistake.
Gu Jinyan thought about this matter carefully. Qing Ling could not be blamed for this matter. Qing Ling was originally a secret guard, and the tasks she did in the past were different from her daily tasks now.
Qingling's willingness to take over these matters is already her sincerity.
"Just be more careful next time." Gu Jinyan rubbed his temples. This matter was probably the emperor's hand. Who would have thought that such an honest plot would be carried out. Everyone thought it was just a lack of money.
The emperor did this in a despicable way, how can he still be qualified to be the emperor?
Qing Ling still insisted not to get up.
Gu Jinyan looked at it and said, "I'll fine you three months' salary. Get up."
Qing Ling still didn't want to get up, and just said: "I can't face this mistake in my heart. Princess, please let me kneel down, and wait for the new official to come and atone for my sins before I get up."
Then he looked at Gu Jinyan: "Princess, you will have many people in your hands in the future. As someone you value, how can it be enough if I don't do this? You want to establish your authority."
Gu Jinyan looked at her and motioned her to get up with his eyes.
Qing Ling insisted on kneeling.
She could only go back to the house first.
The crisis in Hubu was resolved, but Qingling was very insistent and knelt there without moving.
She has never punished anyone of her own, and only looks at them from time to time.
Xiaochun looked worried: "Miss, this Qingling is really insistent on kneeling like this."
"I don't know if she can do it."
Xiaochun feels that there is still a big difference between herself and Qing Ling. She used to dislike Qing Ling, but now it has been smoothed over, and she is a little worried.
