Hearing these accusations, Emperor Hongyuan and the ministers were all shocked.
Hongyuan Emperor looked at the porridge and became angry. He suddenly slammed the table and said, "Is this something a human can eat?"
Madam Wei, what's going on? "
Madam Wei was shocked and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I ordered Gao Yang to buy this rice. Gao Yang bought this rotten rice behind my back to fool the people. It has nothing to do with me!"
Gao Yang hung there, not daring to speak.
Emperor Hongyuan glared at Madam Wei with a gloomy and cold face. He gripped the dragon throne with both hands and gritted his teeth. "Where's the Empress?
She told me a few days ago that she was trying to raise money to help the disaster victims.
How did things turn out like this?
Someone, summon the Empress here! "
Eunuch Xu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I've already sent someone to inform her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Empress, who was dressed in red, rushed over with a group of people.
When she saw the tied-up Madam of the Wei Kingdom, her face turned pale and her heart trembled.
Could it be that Madam Wei and her embezzlement of silver was exposed?
She hurriedly went forward and greeted Emperor Hongyuan. "Your Majesty, this concubine greets you. Your Majesty, why did The Emperor of Li tie up Madam Wei?
Did Madam Wei commit a crime? "
When Eunuch Xu saw The Emperor of Li tie up Madam Wei and bring her into the palace, he sent someone to inform her.
When she heard this, she was furious and hurriedly led people to the imperial study.
"You came at the right time. Let me ask you.
The disaster victims said that you and Madam Wei raised three million taels of silver and made them eat this kind of porridge. What's going on? "
Emperor Hongyuan said angrily.
The Empress hurriedly glanced at the porridge and her heart trembled. "Your Majesty, this concubine didn't leave the palace. I don't know what's going on."
Speaking of this, she hurriedly looked at Madam Wei and gave her a look. "Sister, tell me, why did I ask you to give this kind of porridge? Were you also deceived?"
Madam Wei hurriedly nodded and glared at Gao Yang angrily. "Sister, I was the one who asked Gao Yang to prepare the porridge. I gave Gao Yang one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver.
I told him to buy good rice and noodles for charity, but he actually bought this kind of rotten rice. He must have embezzled a lot of money. "
After saying this, she hurriedly begged the emperor for mercy, "Your Majesty, this was all done by Gao Yang alone. He embezzled the disaster relief funds and bought this rotten rice for the common people to eat.
This matter has nothing to do with this concubine, but this concubine is to blame.
It's because this concubine didn't keep a strict watch on the servants that such a thing happened.
Your Majesty, don't worry, this concubine can immediately leave the palace and buy good rice and noodles to give to the common people to restore the reputation this time. "
Magistrate Zhang immediately said, "There's no need for you to worry, Madam of the Wei Kingdom.
This lowly official saw that His Highness The Emperor of Li has already forked out his own silver to give good porridge to the common people, saving the face of the imperial family. "
When the ministers heard this, they immediately looked at Chu Xuanchen with praise and gave him a thumbs up in their hearts.
Emperor Hongyuan was stunned. He didn't expect that Chu Xuanchen would also give porridge.
He looked at him solemnly and said, "The Emperor of Li, you did well.
However, could it be that Madam Wei was deceived by Gao Yang about this rotten porridge?
Madam Wei and the Empress have been working hard to prepare for the disaster relief for the past few days. They were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground and they didn't even have time to sleep.
They were so sincere, but in the end, this kind of thing happened. This servant must have been blinded by greed and bought rotten rice to give to the common people behind their backs! "
