Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 495.4: The Pit One Dug, Others Certainly Will Fill

Although he didn’t get locked in shackles, Li Hong Ming still felt that he got treated as a criminal. But, he couldn’t say anything. His imperial father’s Black Clad Guards, they these princes still feared. Moreover, because the assassination attempt investigation didn’t yield any results, Le Cheng Emperor in the end dismissed the Black Clad Guards’ commander, letting him retire early. The Black Clad Guards right now can be said to be fully under Li Su Yan’s control. Although he was still the captain, and there was still the vice commander above, it was obvious that the Black Clad Guards temporarily won’t have a commander.

By the time they returned to the capital, Ruan Rui Zhong had already prepared the memorandum. The Black Clad Guards were also highly efficient at their task and already fully understood the whole story. Li Su Yan similarly wrote a memorandum. Le Cheng Emperor was still confused at first, but after seeing the memorandums, he nearly fainted in anger, directly having the memorandums smashed on Rui Qinwang’s face, who was kneeling below, “Idiot, idiot, idiot, how did this emperor just give birth to an idiot like you——-”

Le Cheng Emperor’s roaring voice could even be heard far beyond the palace halls. Rui Qinwang’s face got thoroughly stripped clean by Le Cheng Emperor.

Rui Qinwang’s two fists were tightly clenched, but his head was lowered, covering up the violent storm in his eyes, not saying anything. He was very clear, the matter this time, he indeed held the great majority of the responsibility, but it didn’t mean that he will just tolerate getting made a fool out of by those insects below that can be crushed with a palm.

After Le Cheng Emperor ruthlessly vented, he felt exceptionally tired. This was once his most favored son, feeling that he was outstanding everywhere, for a time, having him viewed as his successor. But, the more he got involved in matters, his problems also just got exposed, and not just a tiny bit.

“Get lost, go back and reflect behind closed doors, cultivate the heart and nurture the character, read some more books.” Le Cheng Emperor faintly said.

“Imperial father——–” This kind of punishment appears to neither hurt nor tickle, but there wasn’t a time limit. Moreover, Le Cheng Emperor even no longer carried any emotions. There was practically nothing more worse than this. Clearly it was handled according to his (Le Cheng Emperor) desire, thus leading to this kind of outcome, yet now, there was no sentiments to speak of, truly too heartless!

“Get lost!”

Rui Qinwang forcibly restrained his shaking body, not wanting to get dragged out, losing that last bit of dignity. “This son will take one’s leave.” Just, the resentment and hatred in his heart practically was about to congeal, and more than half of it was all directed at Le Cheng Emperor, this good imperial father.

Rui Qinwang’s complexion was dark and heavy. No one dared to easily go forward to test their luck, but there were still special cases, no?

Kang Qinwang blocked Rui Qinwang’s path, “Old three, this is having messed up the assignment and getting lectured by imperial father? Aiya, small matter, small matter, which one of us brothers haven’t gotten lectured before? Don’t take it to heart. Once imperial father’s anger dispels, it’ll all be fine.” The pleasure at another’s misfortune written on his face practically couldn’t be more obvious.

“Get lost!” Brushing away the other party and directly leaving, Rui Qinwang right now wasn’t able to maintain the slightest poise.

Kang Qinwang was angered, “You……..” but suddenly shut his mouth. Li Hong Ming was someone who has always been accustomed to putting on an act. Towards outsiders, it was always appearing gentle and scholarly. Even last time, when getting fired from his job at the Ministry of Appointments, he was never once like this. It can be seen that the matter this time can only be even more serious. “Go and ask around, exactly what happened.”

The matter in itself wasn’t that secretive, so it wasn’t that difficult to find out.

The people below deceiving their superior and concealing the matter, even daring to deceive a qinwang of the imperial court, to look down on the imperial court as such, and look down on the imperial power, Le Cheng Emperor naturally won’t ignore, already ordering Li Su Yan to dispatch the Black Clad Guards and have the related people, from top to bottom, all arrested, heavily punishing.

Just, after Noble Consort Su learned of the matter, she directly passed out in anger, just don’t know whether it was blaming her son for messing up the matter, or inwardly hating herself for giving such an idea? In reality, quite a few people were like Kang Qinwang. Originally, the assignment that everyone all didn’t want to accept, you, Li Hong Ming, that eagerly accepted, even thinking how capable, yet in the end, the matter wasn’t handled well, even having oneself thrown in. Heheh, didn’t it precisely make one want to clap and cheer.

Noble Consort Su finally woke up with great difficulty. After waking up, her body was increasingly unwell. However, this was also very normal, no?

Noble Consort Su had everyone all kicked out, staying alone for at least an hour. Shortly after, she let her own mother enter the palace.

Because of Su Ming Zhang’s matter, this old madam’s condition wasn’t considered well either. However, the Su family was very clear, they were on the same boat as Noble Consort Su and her son. If they are unwell, then no one will be well. Thus, no matter how unwell, she still forced herself to enter the palace.

Seeing that tottering appearance of her mother’s, it’s not that Noble Consort Su didn’t heartache, but it couldn’t be helped, the matter can’t be given to someone else.

This time, Noble Consort Su didn’t say anything else either, just letting her mother take two letters with her, separately giving to her own son Li Hong Ming as well as the Right Commander-in-Chief, Shen Shu Han. The one for Li Hong Ming was actually just delivered in passing.

As Shen Shu Han’s paternal aunt, this old madam’s weight was a bit heavier than others, further proving the seriousness of the matter.

While sending out these two letters, Noble Consort Su thoroughly sunk into stillness. Even the movements against Jing Wan were all gone, not thinking of anything else either, just quietly recuperating.

From this bit, it was more than enough to see how strong Noble Consort Su’s mental fortitude was, absolutely something difficult to achieve for the great majority of people in the world.

And at the same time, another one of Fu Yun Ting’s memorandum got sent back, stating that the grains sent to the northwest were mixed with a lot of sandstone, and there were also many stale grains and moldy grains. Although it wasn’t impossible to consume after treating, just hearing that the grains were all purchased from grain merchants, don’t know whether or not the officials in charge of this matter were deceived. Also, these grains ending up in ordinary commoners’ hands was similarly very bad, so asking his Majesty to investigate clearly and have it all cleaned up.

Additionally, two days after those righteous people delivered food, Xiongnu once again carried out a large scale attack. If not for that batch of food, the soldiers would’ve very likely been on an empty stomach, completely powerless to meet the enemy head-on. By that time, it’s extremely possible for the entire army to be wiped out, the defense line collapsing, and the Xiongnu army large scale invading. Fu Yun Ting used just his own name to request a reward for those people.

Very good, Rui Qinwang’s offense increased by one more. However, towards Rui Qinwang, there was no need to continue bothering. Just, those black-hearted grain merchants were out of luck again, quite a few large and small all got searched and seized. However, someone also mentioned that while the black-hearted ought to be punished, what General Fu mentioned was indeed fitting too. Everything else aside, they should at least give a ‘righteous merchant’ title. This kind of person, even if supporting up, believe that the people would all benefit.

But, precisely because these people were meddlesome, it caused his plan to fall through, yet now, he even needed to give a righteous merchant title, so as to let these people’s business grow even bigger in the future? Can he not give? No, they helped your soldiers, and even in a certain sense, saved Qi Yuan. Such great contributions, how can one not express anything at all?

Thus, clenching his teeth, he personally wrote the two words, ‘Righteous Merchant’, sending out with great fanfare.

In reality, when Fu Yun Ting mentioned the Xiongnu invading, Le Cheng Emperor at first even broke out in cold sweat, but it was also just for a moment. Because it didn’t happen, he just no longer cared, never considering what would happen if it did occur. Although, with Li Hong Yuan planning in the background, this situation won’t appear.

Even now, he still refuses to reflect on himself, not thinking of dismissing and replacing Fu Yun Ting either, still wanting to pin an offense on Fu Yun Ting.

But, through Li Hong Yuan’s past life, one can already tell, in Le Cheng Emperor’s heart, Fu Yun Ting’s threat even surpassed that of the Xiongnu army. Even if it’s over two hundred thousand soldiers, even if it’s losing a few provinces, he can all disregard. As long as his throne was still there, he was still an unparalleled emperor.

One can’t blame Li Hong Yuan for chopping up Le Cheng Emperor in the end in the past life. This kind of person, even if grinded into ashes, it all wouldn’t be enough to dispel the hatred.

Jing Wan looked through letter after letter, seeing various kinds of information, sighing, “Lately, the capital truly is quite lively, having ups and downs, practically even more brilliant than a big play. Probably still need to wait until all the people in the Ministry of Revenue have been switched out before finally calming down for a period of time.”

“Wan Wan is relaxing too early. Things won’t calm down that quick.”

“It’s you that won’t settle down.” In Jing Wan’s eyes, as long as this one doesn’t cause trouble, then things more or less can all settle down.

“What, in Wan Wan’s eyes, I’m the kind that causes trouble for no reason? I also want more time to spend with Wan Wan, no?”

“Yes, yes, yes, you are the most reasonable. Then, Jin Qinwang, after this matter, what you want to do, why don’t you tell me in advance, letting me also be mentally prepared. What do you think?” Jing Wan said with a smile.
