Chapter 475: Lawless

Chu Qinghuang said nothing more and silently read the confession. After a long time, he said: "Wen Shangshu failed to teach his son well. He will be fined for one year. He will be stripped of his position as Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue and transferred to the Ministry of Works as Zuo Shilang."

Chu Xuance and others were slightly surprised, and then fell silent.

Stripped off the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and transferred to the Ministry of Works as Zuo Shilang... This is no longer just a demotion, but a direct transfer away from the center of power.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for civil engineering, water conservancy projects, mansion repairs, and garden construction... In recent years, Xi Qi's treasury has been tight, and there are very few things like garden rockery and mansion repairs. The emperor is not greedy for enjoyment, so the Ministry of Industry is now responsible for Most of them are related to water conservancy.

A minister from the Ministry of Revenue was transferred to the Ministry of Works, two departments that were completely different from each other. What could Wen Xingyun do if he left?

What's more, the minister is still under the minister, so transferring him to the Ministry of Industry and having to listen to the minister in everything not only empties his power, but also puts him in a position where he knows nothing about it, and he has to learn everything from scratch. .

Yuan Bao, who was waiting by the side, immediately responded: "I will let someone draw up the decree right now."

"Wen Li has damaged his personal ethics and behaves badly. He will be fined fifty slabs and imprisoned for three years." Chu Qinghuang said, looking up at Wen Zhan, "Go tell your father and say that this is after you repeatedly begged for mercy." Otherwise, Wen Li would be beheaded in Caishikou."

"I obey your order." Wen Zhan bowed in response, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Then he resigned and took a step forward.

Chu Qinghuang took the coupons from Chu Xuance and Yun Heng, "Did you two sleep last night?"

Yun Heng's eyes were all green, and Chu Xuance was not much better either. He had two dark circles under his eyes, looking like he had stayed up all night.

"The writing is all good, and you can see that it was written with great care." Chu Qinghuang flipped through it casually, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I didn't sleep all night last night either. You guys go back and catch up on your sleep first. After dinner, Go to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters.”

"Yes. I'll take your leave." The two quickly excused themselves and left.

The imperial study room suddenly became quiet, and Chu Qinghuang was able to rest for a while.

"Master is tired." Fucang pursed his lips, "Go back and take a rest first."

Chu Qinghuang put down the tea cup and rubbed the center of his brow: "I'm not that tired, I just have a headache from all these messy things."

Fu Cang moved his lips, but what he wanted to say was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

"Being an emperor is hard work. In such a big world, you have to worry about everything. I'm mentally prepared." Chu Qinghuang stood up and smiled reassuringly at him, "Don't worry, let's go back and rest for a while."

Fu Cang nodded.

Chu Qinghuang brought the memorials of Chu Xuance and Yun Heng back to Changming Palace, sat on the bedside, and read them leisurely: "These two people are thoughtful and diligent in their work. They are good candidates for capable ministers."

"The person chosen by the master himself is naturally reliable." Fucang brought the hot water and put it on the ground. He squatted down and took off Chu Qinghuang's shoes and socks. "I have already tried this water. The temperature is just right. Master, please foot."

Both feet were submerged in the warm water. The warm feeling quickly spread from the soles of the feet to both legs. Chu Qinghuang squinted her eyes and looked down at Fucang who was washing her feet attentively. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "I plan to do it in the future." Do you also work as a foot washer?”

Fucang's voice was gentle and soft: "I can do all the work of serving the master. One of my subordinates can reach the Three Palaces and Sixth Courtyard."

"It's worthless." Chu Qinghuang sneered, "You should say that one person can equal a thousand troops."

"Isn't this in the palace? Where did the thousands of troops and horses come from in the palace?" Fucang smiled innocently, "But if it is on the battlefield, even if the subordinates cannot defeat the thousands of troops, they can still do it under the command of thousands of troops. of."

Chu Qinghuang raised his eyebrows: "I admire your domineering attitude."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master."

Chu Qinghuang stared at him with a smile for a while: "With a gentle and virtuous wife like you by my side, I will definitely be able to reduce a lot of worries."

On the outside, he is decisive and decisive, and he is her sharp weapon; on the inside, he is gentle and virtuous, and he is considerate in everything.

Although palace people can do many things, no matter how well others do it, how can they be as successful as their sweetheart?

"With the master here, my life has light." Fu Cang pursed his lips and said in a very pleasant voice, "The master is my salvation."

Chu Qinghuang looked at him steadily, smiled, and continued to read the memorial while leaning on the bedside.

After a while, Fucang wiped Chu Qinghuang's feet, and the palace attendant came over and brought the water out.

"Master, don't look at it." Fu Cang stood up, took the memorial from her hand, and put her on the bed forcefully, "It's time to go to bed."

Chu Qinghuang lay on the bed and looked at him: "Bold."

"Master, please wait until I wake up before punishing me." Fu Cang pursed his lips and smiled, with a gentle attitude, "I have prepared the whip and cane in advance. Master, you can beat me as much as you want, but now you must go to bed first and wait until you are full. Only then can you have the spirit.”

Chu Qinghuang reached out and pinched his face: "Have I allowed you to become lawless?"

"So if I am really lawless, the master has to bear half of the responsibility." Fucang raised his eyes slightly and smiled at the corner of his lips, "You can't completely blame me."
