I'm Not a Playboy
Chapter 9
After Qianlong left, the task of reading the memorials was handed over to Yonglian.
"No wonder Empress Ama always wants to scold people. Some ministers are really quite annoying.
You're so long-winded, but only one sentence is useful. "
Ask him how Empress Ama is doing recently.
The first memorial Yonglian read was a memorial to greet Empress Ama. After reading it seriously, he had a headache.
"Uncle, take a look. How do you approve this kind of memorial?"
Fu Heng was already used to it. He skillfully picked up a seal, dipped it in ink, and stamped it.
Zhen An.
Heavens!
There was actually such a thing!
Yonglian instantly prostrated himself in admiration of Empress Ama.
Then he looked at the other seals on the table.
Zhen An knows. Zhen An also misses you. Dawdle. Get out …
"When The Emperor first ascended the throne, he was very angry with the ministers writing random memorials. So he carved these seals.
This humble subject and Eunuch Li will first pick through the memorials. We will leave behind the memorials that The Emperor really needs to see. The rest will be stamped according to the content. "
But before he had time to pick, Yonglian picked up a memorial and started reading.
Fu Heng also didn't want to pick through the memorials at this time. He could only wait for Yonglian to finish reading one.
"Just stamp the memorial to greet Zhen An. If there is any auspicious sign, stamp it on Zhen An.
There are always shameless ministers who say that they miss The Emperor, stamp it on Zhen An. Zhen also wants you to deal with it. If they say that they want to come to the capital to see The Emperor, stamp it with the word 'get out' … "
The memorial was long-winded and stamped.
However, the ministers who were stamped had a miserable ending. So, it had been a long time since any minister dared to challenge The Emperor's bottom line on official matters.
Yonglian opened his mouth and flipped through a few memorials. Sure enough, some memorials were very clear. Some memorials were full of words.
No wonder Huang Ama always had time to accompany Empress Dowager. It really saved a lot of time.
When Fourteen, who was sitting below with his eyes closed and waiting for Yonglian to consult him, heard Fu Heng say that Qianlong actually approved the booklets like this, he curiously went over to take a few seals and looked at them carefully.
It was obvious that it had taken a long time.
"If the previous emperor had used the same method, perhaps he wouldn't have died from exhaustion …"
If the previous emperor encountered a slow and wishy-washy booklet, he would definitely write a lot of curses in red.
In this way, the time spent would be longer, and naturally, there would be less time to rest.
Unlike this, he could just stamp it and toss it aside.
Moreover, the seals were all stamped by others. The Emperor only needed to look at the booklets and pick out the good ones.
He was really slacking off in broad daylight, but no one could say anything about it.
Unlike Saint Father, who was excessively soft in his later years, and unlike the previous Emperor, who was excessively firm.
The Emperor had found such a wonderful balance.
The useful memorials were clear and clear. As for the memorials to greet him, it gave space for the ministers who had too much ink in their stomachs to write.
Anyway, The Emperor didn't look at them, so they could write with all their might.
"Uncle, do you know how Huang Ama will punish the ministers who dawdle on important matters?"
Of course, Fu Heng knew. This kind of punishment was really unforgettable.
"The first time is just a simple warning. The second time is to write 20,000 words. The third time is to write 80,000 words. The fourth time is to write 160,000 words.
The content of the punishment is to praise The Emperor, and no repetition is allowed.
If there is a repetition, it will be doubled. "
Fourteen was drinking tea. When he heard that the content of the punishment was to praise The Emperor, he immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.
This punishment was even more severe than Fourteen's.
Yonglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He asked if any of the ministers had really written 160,000 words.
Fu Heng thought for a moment, then squatted down and lifted the tablecloth covering the imperial desk. He found a book in a secret compartment.
"This person committed the fourth offense, but when he wrote 140,000 words, he fainted. When he woke up, he was delirious. All he could say was," Long live The Emperor … "
From then on, no courtier dared to challenge the Emperor's indolent seal.
After learning how Huang Ama read memorials, Yonglian and Fu Heng picked up the memorials on the table.
Fourteen found it interesting and also stamped his seal.
Click, click, click.
In the end, there were only three memorials left that Yonglian really needed to read.
Assistant Minister Yang Sijing tried the case of Shanxi's Minister of Education, Ka Erqin, who bribed and sold students.
Minister of State Affairs, Infantry Commander E Shan, who was convicted of bribery.
Wang Anguo investigated the case of Guangdong's grain collection.
Yonglian knew that he was still very inexperienced. Although he had already dealt with the Gao family, he only needed to follow Huang Ama's instructions.
"Qianlong already has a way to deal with bribery. Depending on the severity of the crime, there are different levels of punishment."
Dismissal and confiscation of property were the basic steps, followed by flogging and exile. Finally, the entire process would be announced nationwide.
If the crime was serious, they would be beheaded.
In The Emperor's words, "Be a good person in your next life."
These were all small actions. Although they weren't fatal, The Emperor's methods would definitely make them wish they were dead.
"The problem of grain collection isn't a matter of a day or two. We have to wait for The Emperor to come back and deal with it carefully." Fourteen didn't dare to make any comments on this matter.
Out of the three memorials, two were read and one was put aside for the time being. Yonglian soon had some free time.
But Qianlong was already prepared. Fu Heng took out a stack of memorials for Fourteen to read to Yonglian.
As the Crown Prince's tutor, he had to be responsible.
And as the future Crown Prince's tutor in Qianlong's heart, Fu Heng was asked by Qianlong to listen to Yonglian.
Such a good opportunity, he couldn't waste it.
When it was time to eat, because Fourteen was there, Yonglian and Fu Heng didn't go to Qiankun Palace to eat.
The Empress sent a palace maid to deliver the food.
Looking at the unfamiliar palace maid, Fu Heng suspiciously asked why Ming Yu and Yingluo didn't come.
The palace maid truthfully reported that the Empress, the Princess, Ming Yu, and Yingluo were having a good time playing cards and sent her to deliver the food.
After testing that there was no poison, Yonglian tasted the soup. It was obviously not made by Empress Dowager.
It seemed that they were really having a good time playing cards.
"Haha, Yingluo, you lost again. Eat quickly."
When it was time to eat, the punishment changed from pasting a note on the face to eating pastries.
"Empress, the fengshui here is not good.
I, I want to change places with Ming Yu. "
When playing, she ate pastries from time to time to fill her stomach. Now that she lost, she had to eat pastries again.
She ate too much pastries and was thirsty. After drinking a few cups of tea, her stomach suddenly bulged.
Ming Yu walked to Yingluo and pushed Yingluo over. She smiled and said: "You don't play cards well. You still lost this time. Let's see what you have to say."
After playing for a while, Yingluo was caught again.
The Empress saw that Yingluo was really uncomfortable, so she did not force Yingluo to eat pastries again.
"Yingluo, go back and rest."
The remaining three people could also play Dou Dizhu.
Because Linglong was banished to the Xinzheku, Jin Xiu had always hated Yingluo in her heart and was looking for opportunities to avenge Linglong.
When she saw Yingluo's stomach bulging a little when she changed her clothes, as if she was pregnant, Jin Xiu immediately reported this to Aunt Fang.
Because of the previous grudge with Wei Yingluo, Aunt Fang quickly reported Wei Yingluo's pregnancy to Wu Gonggong.
Wu Gonggong knew that Wei Yingluo had a name with both the Empress and The Emperor, so he thought that Yingluo was pregnant with a dragon's heir.
"I saw her looking for Bodyguard Fucha alone a few days ago. They must be having an affair!"
Yingluo knew that they were deliberately framing her, so she deliberately asked Wu Gonggong how to deal with people who framed her in the palace.
Wu Gonggong understood that Wei Yingluo was not pregnant at all.
Looking at Aunt Fang and Jin Xiu's smug looks, Wu Gonggong also did them a favor.
"Those who slander others will be immediately expelled from the palace after investigation."
"Then I'll trouble Wu Gonggong to examine Yingluo's body to prove Yingluo's innocence."
Wei Yingluo only ate too many desserts, so of course she was not pregnant.
Jin Xiu lost her composure on the spot after hearing this and suspected that there was something fishy about the examination.
Aunt Fang saw that the situation was not good, so she started to fight with Jin Xiu in front of everyone to shirk responsibility so that they would not be expelled from the palace.
The noise was too loud, so He Jing, who was about to rest, came over to see what was going on.
"The country has its laws, and the palace has its rules.
If everything is based on favors, then the palace will be in chaos. "
With the princess's words, Aunt Fang and Jin Xiu were even more chased out.
After He Jing left, Aunt Fang looked at Yingluo and said: "Didn't you always want to investigate the cause of your sister's death?
I know … "
"But I won't tell you, you little slut, hahaha …"
When Yingluo heard that Aunt Fang knew the cause of her sister's death, she immediately used Aunt Fang's mistreatment of the palace maids to interrogate her.
But Aunt Fang had already given up. No matter how Yingluo threatened her, she did not say a word.
In the end, Yingluo had no choice but to ask Wu Gonggong if he knew the cause of her sister's death.
When Wu Gonggong heard the name Wei Yingning, he immediately shook his head and told Yingluo not to investigate anymore.
"People die in this palace every day, how can you investigate it all?
You are currently favored by the empress, so you should give up on this idea as soon as possible … "
The more they did not want to let her know, the more Yingluo wanted to know.
Thinking that it might be because of her identity, they did not dare to say.
Yingluo thought about it and finally thought of a suitable person.
