Chapter 131 The Iron Certificate and the Red Book are stolen
Ye Xingxin slapped him on the head and said, "I said the Huang family fell, but you only listened to the back and didn't pay attention to the front, right?"
Hao Duanzhuang held his breath, and finally fell on Cui Luoshan's shoulder with grievance, trying to get comfort from the student.
Cui Luoshan reached out and patted him: "Teacher, don't worry, it won't take long."
"Master Zhang Hongye is so powerful and has a strong background. He is actually the father of Princess Anhe. No wonder he dared to embezzle the money allocated by the court to build the dam in Jianghe City. This embezzlement lasted for five years."
"No, this guy is from Jianghe City. He was almost swept away by a flood when he was a child. After being rescued, he said that he would control the floods in this area when he grew up. How come he became a disaster instead?"
Ye Shengxin continued to flip through the pages, and all the ministers in the court looked at the only person from the Zhang family who could stand in the court.
Zhang Hongye’s grandson, Zhang Huaishui, is now a fifth-rank military officer.
Zhang Huaishui's face turned pale and he kowtowed to the prince on the spot.
He opened his mouth and wanted to cry out that he was innocent, but when he met the prince's gaze that was like looking at a dead person, he swallowed back all the words of begging for mercy.
I only had one thought: it was over.
My grandfather was in poor health, so he returned to Jianghe City two years ago to recuperate.
The flood in Jianghe City some time ago troubled the old man, causing him to feel hot and cold now.
If this is stimulated again...
Zhang Huaishui closed his eyes, thinking that his grandfather was about to be buried.
The court was silent, and Ye Xingxin's clear words reached the ears of many ministers:
"It turns out that he was greedy for money in order to have his daughter marry Prince Anhe, and to use Prince Anhe's power to get Concubine Yan who was praying for the late emperor at Jingnu Temple."
"This man is amazing. He actually fell in love with the late emperor's concubine and even had a child with her."
"Wow, this old man actually brought this child back home and gave him to his infertile daughter-in-law, letting his illegitimate child grow up as a legitimate grandson."
"amazing."
Hearing this, Zhang Huaishui, the only legitimate grandson of the Zhang family, suddenly changed his expression and became dazed.
His grandfather turned out to be his father? He was the concubine's child?
How is that possible? No one would believe something like this without any evidence, right?
He looked around for help, wanting to argue, wanting to get someone to deny him, but he saw Master Tongshan looking at him with compassion.
Zhang Huaishui's heart sank to the bottom.
What are you still struggling for?
No matter who he is, his grandfather is corrupt and his whole family is doomed to die. Is there any point in saying more?
"Oh my god." Ye Xingxin exclaimed: "This Concubine Yan is actually ten years older than the old man, and she gave birth to the child at the age of fifty-five."
"These two are really brave. They are still alive after all this trouble. They are amazing."
Ye Xingxin turned another page.
"They actually plan to be buried together after death. They have already found the location of the coffin and the tomb, and are just waiting to lie down in it after their eyes turn white."
Emperor Jingming didn't care about any secrets. He just asked, "If Lord Zhang doesn't plan to be buried in the ancestral tomb, then what are the things buried with him in the ancestral tomb..."
Ye Xingxin pressed his hand and said, "Don't worry, Little Duck. He is here, but not in the central tomb chamber. He is in the branch."
"His first wife is already lying there waiting for him."
"But this man is a jerk. He plans to move out his first wife's coffin before he dies, and he will never let her tarnish his relationship with Concubine Yan."
Ministers:...
This guy is fucking outrageous.
Zhang Huaishui also felt that he and his biological parents were a little outrageous.
Everything you do will be condemned and criticized by the world.
Emperor Jingming: "Is that so? That's fine, as long as there's something in the ancestral tomb."
Ministers: ...Your Majesty, would you like to listen to what you said?
Ye Shengxin said he was planning to rob a tomb, but you, an emperor, have made up your mind to rob the tomb of your minister.
Is this fair?
Ye Xingxin lowered his head and continued reading: "It also said that Zhang Hongye was acting as a middleman between An He Wang and the Huang family, trying to help An He Wang get the iron certificate from the Huang family and use it to save An He Wang's son who was convicted of a capital crime."
"The two sides have already hooked up. Once the conditions are reached, An and the prince will be released without charge."
Ye Shengxin touched his chin when he said this.
She looked at the excited Emperor Jingming and Cui Luoshan, as well as Zhang Liang who had lost all hope in life, and spoke quietly:
"What do you think? I'll ask Duanzhuang to steal the Iron Certificate?"
"You also know that what we will do in the future is to offend the ministers."
"Little Duck and I were fugitives before. If we have a certificate that can exempt us from the death penalty, can't we be tomb robbers without any scruples?"
"If we are unlucky enough to get caught one day, we can just throw this thing in the old emperor's face and then retire."
"That way you can get a good reputation for turning back."
At this point, Ye Xingxin smiled maliciously: "By the way, I'll piss off those corrupt officials to death."
Ministers:...
This Ye Shengxin is really troublesome.
Prime Minister Shangguan stroked his beard, somewhat curious:
What is this Lord Ye thinking about every day? Why does he always end up making people angry but also succeeding by accident?
But it’s a good thing that the iron certificate was stolen, so that no one can use it to threaten Your Majesty.
The Grand Tutor also thought through the twists and turns of the matter and sighed when he saw this.
The outcome of this matter was good, but not very decent.
Speaking of this, the prince became more energetic, straightened his back and looked at the sky.
Your Majesty, you must do as Lord Ye says regarding this matter.
When the iron certificate was given out, much thought was put into it. It was not signed, so whoever received it owned it.
Emperor Jingming did not disappoint his son and nodded.
"Then let's leave this matter to Danzhuang."
Hao Duanzhuang: "Oh."
"Bring back some food by the way." Emperor Jingming added, covering his hungry stomach.
-
Seeing Emperor Jingming's obsession with money, the ministers thought that their Majesty would take action tonight.
As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
After a sleepless night and chopping wood all day, the four men returned to their room after work at night and fell asleep on the bed without even taking off their shoes.
Amid Zhang Liang's snoring, the prince waved his hand and was about to dismiss the court.
Let the ministers who have not returned home for three days go back to their homes to change their clothes and have a good night's rest.
But an express delivery of 800 miles was submitted.
——There is a severe drought in Baishan Prefecture. The crops in the fields are about to die. The people of Baishan Prefecture are in danger of becoming refugees.
When the news reached the court, if it had happened in the past, many ministers would have become anxious like Emperor Jingming.
But now everyone looked at Ye Shengxin who was sleeping sprawled out on the tent, without a trace of anxiety on his face.
Xu Zhong was the first to stand up: "Your Highness, I think that in order to solve the disaster in Baishan Mansion this time, it must be Lord Ye."
"Your Highness, please order someone to notify Zhang Liang and ask him to find a way to inform Lord Ye about this matter."
The prince agreed, but only half way.
After the court was dismissed, he took out the pigeon with small red spots on its body from the pigeons raised in the East Palace.
After tying a small bamboo tube to it, they let it fly away.
