Chapter 2777 Reason

Immediately after the celebration feast, the atmosphere in the court became strange.

It was clearly the New Year's Day, and it was a happy time. As a result, the emperor first ordered to demote Gong Hanlin and Ban Shilang, and then ordered the Imperial Censor Desk to strictly investigate the local government affairs and officials' behavior in the places where the grain and forage passed during the Eastern Expedition. .

At the same time, the local officials brought back by their class teacher when they returned to the DPRK were examined one by one. Except for two who were deposed by local clansmen, the rest of the officials were either exiled or beheaded.

Three officials were directly imprisoned, and it was said that not only would they be convicted, but their families would also be implicated.

The Tai Hospital has not been very busy recently, and Man Bao spends more time in the Tai Physician Office leading the students to make summaries. This time, everyone has gained a lot in medical skills.

Being immersed in academics, she will neglect some things. When she finds out that the atmosphere is not right, it is because of the big court meeting.

Man Bao greeted people with a smile as usual, then sat in his seat and waited for the emperor to arrive.

Master Tang glanced at her and sat on her left by the door.

Man Bao felt that today's colleagues were unusually quiet. Although they were not noisy at ordinary times, they were not as solemn as they are today. When meeting early in the morning, always say hello and talk. Do you ever use breakfast food, what breakfast food do you use, how does it taste...

But today, everyone was very silent. They just nodded when they met and sat quietly in their seats without even saying a word.

Seeing this, Man Bao turned to look for Master Tang, lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Master Tang: "You don't know? The will of your family, Bai Shan, was written by your family Bai Shan."

Man Bao: "...I don't know."

After thinking about it, Master Tang said: "Yes, this matter is said to have something to do with your Imperial Physician's Office, but it is not very related. If you say it doesn't matter, it has something to do with it. If you don't say it, your Imperial Physician's Office can't change it. what."

Man Bao was very curious, "What the hell is going on?"

"His Majesty has charged all the local officials who caused the delay of food and herbal materials in the war to the East."

Man Bao said in a flat "oh": "I know about this, the class teacher was arrested when he returned to the DPRK, and we all know that this can't be done well, and many wounded soldiers died on the front line because they delayed the medicinal materials. Woolen cloth."

Master Tang glanced at her and said, "But His Majesty's punishment for three of them was especially severe. Not only were they sentenced to beheading, but their homes were also raided. The Dali Temple and the Department of Punishment are currently hearing this case, and His Majesty meant to exile their families. to Liaodong."

The reason why Tang He knew so clearly was because he was seconded by the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case. He knew more secret things, and these things could not be said, at least not in such a large audience.

Man Bao looked at Master Tang, and waited at the palace gate to pick up Bai Shan after leaving the office in the afternoon.

It was rare for Bai Shan to be picked up once, and he was flattered, "You are in the imperial hospital today, not in the imperial physician's office?"

"I specially came to pick you up from the Imperial Physician's Office."

Bai Shan took her hand and smiled: "Shall we go out to eat today?"

Man Bao wanted to go home to eat even more, so when he was full, he hid and whispered.

But to Bai Shan's surprised look, she was a little reluctant to say anything, so she could only nod, "Okay, what do you want to eat?"

You can eat anything, just the two of them.

Bai Shan took Man Bao's hand into the car and asked Daji to drive the car to the market first. They were not very hungry at this time, so they could find it slowly.

Man Bao was in a hurry to know more about the inside story, but walking hand in hand with Bai Shan in the crowd, the anxiety disappeared, and he happily went shopping with him.

The two walked around the street in official uniforms for a long time, and didn't go home until the sunset was about to go down.

Both of them had eaten, and left food for them, but the two of them didn't eat, but walked back to their room.

After washing up, the two of them both lay on the bed, and Man Bao asked him quietly, "Xuexiong Tang said that His Majesty's punishment is especially severe for a few people, why is this?"

Bai Shan also lowered his voice and said: "When the food, grass and medicinal materials were delayed, Zhao Guogong got angry and cut down the logistics officials. His Majesty also ordered the local officials along the way. Some people were panic and guilty, so they brought a lot of money to Beijing to find a backer."

This is understandable, Man Bao is puzzled, "So His Majesty thinks that they are embezzling and accepting bribes, so he is very angry?"

"No, if it's just taking bribes, His Majesty won't harm the other's family." Even the criminal emperor who committed the embezzlement of grains and herbs only punished them, so how could they deliberately harm the other party?

"It's just that some people are extraordinarily daring. After realizing that they couldn't persuade His Majesty, they thought of other ways." Bai Shan's eyes were deep, "Of course, there are many of them with their selfishness."

"any solution?"

"His Royal Highness led the Imperial Army and all the ministers to Taiyuan to meet His Majesty. Someone wrote a secret letter to His Majesty in advance, telling the Prince to privately transfer the army to Taiyuan, probably to ambush His Majesty at the gate of Taiyuan City."

Man Bao was startled when he heard it, and got up from the bed to look at him, "You mean we almost got into a fight when we entered Taiyuan?"

Bai Shandao: "If Your Majesty has any more doubts about the prince, there may be a picture of father and son killing each other."

There has never been such a thing in history.

He said, "Isn't that what happened to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Prince Rui in the past?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty really wronged the prince, but why did the ministers give him the posthumous title "rue" after his grandson ascended the throne?

It's not because he didn't want to make excuses and self-examination after being wronged.

As for Prince Prince's previous temperament, if he was wronged, the emperor would still believe it.

At that time, even if it can be found out that the prince was wronged later, the father and son have already destroyed each other, and it will be difficult to reunite if the mirror is broken.

Man Bao thought about it carefully, "His Majesty didn't respond at that time."

Bai Shan raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, saying, "It would be worse if there was a reaction. We all followed His Majesty's left side at that time. Once there was a conflict, it would be our close officials who would suffer first."

Man Bao was indignant, "These people are so cruel, they not only want to cover up corrupt officials, but they also want to mess up the government!"

Bai Shan nodded in agreement, "Not many people know about this matter. Gong Hanlin and Master Ban are now jointly tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Apart from the chief officials of the two departments, Master Yin, Xuexiong Tang, and Master Wei know a little bit. , even Zhao Guogong and the others didn't show the wind."

Man Bao immediately understood: "I must not tell anyone."

Bai Shan smiled at her, and the two of them whispered under the covers, "This time it's not a small matter, and the DPRK may be turbulent for a while, so I plan to make the crown ceremony as simple as possible, and I don't need to invite many people to watch the ceremony."

Man Bao: "Then what should I do if I ask for leave?"

"I'll go and ask, I'll ask after I've been busy for a while," he took Man Bao's hand and placed it on his belly, and laughed softly: "Don't look at His Majesty's anger now, I think he'll be happy after a while. ."
