    Chapter 137

    Elder Yuange and several academicians had not come back since they entered the palace. On the second day, the Cenzhou corruption case spread throughout the court as if it had grown wings. Emperor Xuanhe was worried about this.  The incident was so outraged that the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple jointly tried the case. This was the first joint trial of the three divisions in the 30 years since Xuanhe. Everyone cheered up and acted much more cautiously, fearing that they would be  involved in this incident.

    Shi Hua listened to Xie Ling's words. She slowly lowered her hand holding the medical case and frowned slightly. When Xie Ling saw it, she said, "What's wrong?"

    Shi Hua said: "I don't remember this"

    Xie Ling said: "What is it not?"

    Shi Hua looked a little thoughtful and said: "I remember that the prince was indeed criticized by the emperor for a period of time in the 30th year of Xuanhe, and his spirit was depressed, but it did not have a big impact. The emperor seemed to be just  I punished him lightly, and at the end of the year, I rewarded the prince with many things, and by then the prince immediately gained power again."

    She shook her head and said, "And I had not heard of the Cenzhou case at that time."

    Shi Hua said and looked at each other with Xie Ling. They both saw the understanding in the other's eyes. Xie Ling said, "Has the matter been suppressed?"

    An entire province¡¯s treasury is in short supply, taxes are collected privately, and officials are corrupt. How can such things be suppressed?  Shi Hua was a little unsure for a moment. She said slowly: "Maybe it's because I don't have good information? I had just entered the Prince's Mansion not long ago, so it's normal for me to not know many things."

    Having said this, Shi Hua's voice paused for a moment, and suddenly asked Xie Ling: "When is the death anniversary of the late Queen Jiachun?"

    Xie Ling immediately replied: "It's June 20th."

    After he finished speaking, he was startled, June 20th, today is already June 11th, and it is only nine days away from the death anniversary of the late Queen.

    Xie Ling said: "Is it because of this incident?"

    Thinking about it this way, there is no problem. The prince Li Jinghan is the daughter of the former empress, but the former empress died of illness many years ago. When she was in the middle palace, she was quite favored by the saints. After her death, Emperor Xuanhe stayed away from the court for five days, and the queen followed her.  Make her Queen Jiachun.

    Shi Hua nodded and said: "It's very possible. I remember something happened later. The prince was read by the imperial censor, saying that he was arrogant and extravagant, granted official positions privately, allowed his servants to commit crimes, ignored the law, etc.  There were eight charges in total, but unfortunately, those days were the anniversary of the death of Queen Jiachun, so the emperor was naturally very angry after reading the document, and asked the prince to kneel in the family temple for a day, and finally let him back."

    Xie Ling asked: "What about the censor who petitioned for impeachment?"

    Shi Hua was silent for a moment and replied: "I heard that he was later involved in a case and his house was ransacked and he was exiled."

    Xie Ling thought for a while and analyzed: "Perhaps the matter this time has really been suppressed. Cenzhou's case has been settled once before, and it was brought out again this time. Now there are only two results.  One is to immediately conduct a thorough investigation and take drastic measures to investigate and deal with everything from Shanyang Province to the governor to the county magistrate. In this way, it will take at least a month or two for new officials to take office. In addition, the Cenzhou area is already full of  If there is no one to take care of things after a disaster, there may be trouble.¡±

    "The second result is to replace the people above first, and then slowly take action. However, in this case, it is likely to give the prince's party a chance to breathe."

    Xie Ling pondered for a moment and said, "I think the emperor probably chose the latter."

    The candle burned quietly, and the air in the room was quiet. Xie Ling looked at Shi Hua. Under the candlelight, the woman's eyes were like autumn water, reflecting the shimmering light. It was so beautiful that people couldn't help but drown.  in it.

    Shi Hua's eyes were looking at the candlelight, and suddenly she felt a warmth on her cheeks. When she looked up, it was Xie Ling who was reaching out to touch her face, calling in a low voice: "Ajiu."

    "Yeah." Shi Hua looked back at him, with a hint of questioning in her eyes.

    Xie Ling gently stroked her face, his eyes gentle and focused, and he said slowly: "I will definitely help you."

    Unexpectedly, Shi Hua was surprised when he suddenly mentioned this, and then it turned into a faint smile. His eyes curved slightly and he said, "Okay."

    In the case of Cenzhou, Emperor Xuanhe ordered a joint trial among the three departments. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to try the case. At this juncture, another censor wrote to impeach Prince Gong, saying that he and the Minister of Punishment Ying Youhai,  Dou Mingxuan, the Minister of Rites, had close contacts with each other, intending to form a clique for personal gain.

    ??If this impeachment story is nothing in normal times, the censor officials would not be convicted by their words. They like to hear about things and bite whoever is caught. There is not much in the court.As desired.

    Although the prince has not been shaken, Shi Hua is sure that this matter has become a thorn in the eyes of the aloof emperor, just waiting for the opportunity to explode in the future.

    Time passed by quickly, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye. Shi Hua had been in the capital for half a year. After November, it started to snow lightly in the capital. It was much colder than Suyang City.

    In December, in the middle of winter, although it was the afternoon, the weather was gloomy because of light snowfall. The falling snow covered the distant scenery, as if it was covered with a layer of fog.

    There were few pedestrians on the street. At this time, two carriages drove over from a distance. The carriages were elegantly decorated and obviously belonged to a noble family.

    The carriage stopped in front of Yuyu Tower, Lu Shu said: "Princess, Miss Shi, we are here." (Remember the website address of this website: www.hlnovel.com
