Chapter 68 Hundred officials ask for orders and welcome Wang Wei back!
Inner Temple.
"Your Majesty, please have some tea." Pei Yao handed over a cup of tea with a dignified manner.
Qin Yun drank casually, looked at her and asked: "I have been busy these days. Will you be angry if I forgot to come to your place?"
Pei Yao lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, forcing out a smile: "Your Majesty is joking, I don't dare to be angry."
"Besides, there are many sisters in the palace who never see His Majesty once in a year and a half. If His Majesty can come to me from time to time, I am very satisfied."
Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and took this sentence as the truth.
"By the way, last time you went to Yingcheng, was everything going well with your clan brothers? If the local governor is acting contrary to my will and failing to fulfill my will, you can tell me directly."
Hearing this, Pei Yao's eyes turned red.
The fingernails under her sleeves and robe were deep into the flesh, but she managed to squeeze out a smile: "Your Majesty, everything is fine with my clan brother. The local governor has arranged for him an easy official position. He is in the seventh rank. He is quite prestigious in the local area."
Qin Yun glanced at her twice, frowned and said, "Actually, the main thing I'm looking for you this time is about the evidence of Wang Wei's crime."
"If you can give it to me, I will be able to eliminate the powerful officials faster and achieve great power."
"I want to ask you, do you know about the incriminating evidence? Even a little bit of information would be good."
Pei Yao shook her head and apologized: "Your Majesty, I have forgotten what happened back then, and the evidence of the crime is nothing but rumors."
"If I really knew the evidence of the crime, do you think a powerful official like Wang Wei would let me go? I'm afraid I would have died in the cold palace two years ago, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Yun thought it made sense and was slightly disappointed.
Without evidence of guilt, you cannot take the initiative.
He smiled, stood up, and held Pei Yao's tender shoulders: "It's okay, forget it if you don't know. Let the past go by."
Pei Yao's heart is complicated, can she really get over it?
late at night.
Outside the bed curtain, sandalwood overflows. Inside the bed curtain, the two people are sleeping hugging each other after having sex.
Qin Yun closed his eyes and said, "Why do you look so worried?"
Pei Yao turned sideways, revealing her beautiful back as smooth as satin: "No, Your Majesty, I'm just a little tired."
Qin Yun opened his eyes and hugged her from behind. There was no distance between them, and their skin was close to each other.
Pei Yao seemed to be struggling a little and moved slightly away.
When she thought of seeing her clan brothers and former family members in Yingcheng suffering so much because of the man beside her, her twisted love disappeared.
Pei Yao did not fall asleep until dawn.
She gently put on her bellyband, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, and carefully looked back at the sleeping Qin Yun, as if she was a thief.
She quietly walked behind the screen and took off an imperial waist badge from Qin Yun's dragon robe.
Holding it tightly in his hand, he remained silent for a long time, then hid the badge and tiptoed back to the bed.
Seeing Qin Yun sleeping soundly without noticing, she let out a long breath.
the next day.
After Pei Yao helped Qin Yun change his clothes, he sent him out of Qiuye Hall.
Qin Yun took a few steps away and suddenly turned back.
"I'm in the Imperial Study Room most of the time. If you're bored, you can come to me."
Hearing this, Pei Yao's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she leaned forward and said, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Yun smiled slightly. He could be ruthless and merciless towards Wang Min, but he still cared about Pei Yao and others, even if she could not bring him anything.
Perhaps this is because his soul is not the soul of the ancients and is not that cold.
After he left.
Pei Yao looked at her back for a long time without coming back to her senses. She suddenly tightened her grip and suddenly felt extremely disgusted with herself.
Is this mean? His little tenderness made him lose his mind and forget the deep hatred and humiliation.
Royal study room.
Still as anxious as ever.
The suspension of the Ministry of Household Affairs had a great impact on the entire Daxia.
The minister was recuperating at home, the minister was arrested, and a large number of household officials were dismissed one after another, making the household almost exist in name only.
At that time, disciples from Wang Wei's camp began to incite nobles from all over the country to cause trouble.
Issues such as money, food, taxes, etc. are coming one after another!
"Your Majesty, hundreds of officials are kneeling on the ground outside Xuanwu Gate..." Eunuch Xi said in a panic.
"Hundreds of officials are kneeling down? What, you want me to release Wang Min?" Qin Yun raised his eyebrows and sneered.
Eunuch Xi bent down and said: "No, they jointly requested that Wang Weiwang please come out and take charge of the overall situation."
boom!
Qin Yun punched the solid wood pear blossom table, and Long Yan was furious: "In charge of the overall situation, this world belongs to me, do you still need Wang Wei to take charge of the overall situation?"
"Go and drive these ministers away with sticks. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be thrown into the prison!"
The officials and eunuchs in the imperial study were so frightened that they did not even dare to breathe heavily.
Eunuch Xi immediately went to deliver the message, but was stopped by Feng Lao.
"Your Majesty, don't act out of emotion. If you do this, you will fall into Wang Wei's trap."
Hearing this, Qin Yun gradually calmed down.
Since ancient times, if you lose the support of the people, you will lose the world. This Wang Wei is silent, but he is actually playing this card.
In the past, it was reasonable to kill rebellious ministers and arrest household officials.
But driving away this group of officials who spoke uprightly and asked for orders for the people might leave someone with a reason to complain. When the people complained, that was what Wang Wei wanted to see most.
"That's all, I'll go out myself!"
With that said, he stood up and walked towards Xuanwu Gate with long and fierce steps.
Feng Lao and others immediately followed.
Xuanwumen.
Seeing Qin Yun coming, hundreds of ministers knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please immediately ask Mr. Wang to come back to take charge of the overall situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise the country will be destroyed!"
Qin Yun suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Tell me, how can a country lose its general? Am I going to die?"
All the ministers were stunned.
Taishi Ling Wang Yang knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is a petition jointly signed by merchants, tenants, and porters in the imperial capital. There are more than 10,000 people in total. Your Majesty, please read it!"
"Because of tax issues, they are almost out of food. In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs in the central government is in chaos, and their income is unclear. The people are crying everywhere!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid the people will mutiny!"
Qin Yun asked someone to take the petition, which was dozens of meters long and densely filled with names and fingerprints.
"Wouldn't the tax issue have been settled earlier? Why are there so many problems today? Is it the court's problem or your problem?"
A third-rank minister stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the issue of taxation has always been a problem for the imperial court."
"It's just because Mr. Wang is in charge of the Household Department that things can be calm! Now the Concubine Wang is imprisoned in the cold palace, Mr. Wang is sick at home, and the Household Department is incompetent."
"As soon as the news came out, the people were panicked!"
Qin Yun sneered, looked at the ministers in front of him and said, "Then you mean to say that by inviting Mr. Wang back, these tax and panic problems can be solved?"
The ministers looked at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is exactly what I meant."
Qin Yun put his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "But Mr. Wang is sick, how do you want me to invite him?"
Taishi ordered Wang Yang, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang is heartbroken. The imperial concubine Wang was wronged and will be executed by Queen Qiu. How can he not be heartbroken?"
He glanced at Qin Yun's face and said with deep meaning: "Here, a heart ailment needs to be treated with heart medicine!"
