Li Yuanba didn't say anything, but when he said this, he immediately choked…
Yang Guang had just drunk the water and almost spat it out…
It wasn't that Yang Guang loved cleanliness and couldn't drink or touch the tea bowls that others had touched. He was born in the army. Even if he was the emperor, Yang Guang did not have this habit. Why should he care about such a small matter…
However, Li Yuanba's words made him not know whether to laugh or cry…It was exactly the same as when he had called Li Yuanba by his name in the Yin and Yang Palace, and Li Yuanba had replied with the word 'you say'…
"Huang Dao! Make another bowl for Li Yuanba…"
Yang Guang placed his teacup back on the small table and squinted at Li Yuanba with a faint smile…
Huang Dao quickly responded and picked up the tea bowl that was originally Yang Guang's. He bent over and went to make tea again…
However, in his heart, he truly admired Li Yuanba…
In front of the emperor, even if the emperor rewarded them with tea, very few people would dare to drink it. Now, the current Great Minister Yang Su, the Supreme Court Gao Wei, and the others were like this. Then, the secret organization under Yang Guang, the Grand General of Guangren Mansion, Xin Shanzhi, was even more so…No matter how dry his mouth was, he only dared to take a small sip and did not dare to drink it…
It was because he was afraid that when he drank water, he would do something rude and offend the emperor. That would be bad…
Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. It was not something that could be casually said…
"Bring me the almond crispy cake that was placed outside. This kid likes to eat it…"
Immediately after, Yang Guang continued this sentence...
Pa ~~~
but...
The moment Yang Guang finished speaking, the memorial in He Ruobi's hand, which was on the couch opposite Yang Guang, fell onto the table…
"It's just almond crisp. If Old General wants to eat it later, you can eat it together. It can't be that you can't even hold this memorial firmly without Zhen saying that you can eat it together. If you really feel tired, why don't I get someone to read it out for the old general?”Yang Guang glanced at He Ruobi and said calmly.
"Old... This old minister can hold it firmly, can hold it firmly…"
He Ruobi's face was filled with fear. After saying this respectfully, he hurriedly picked up the memorial and continued reading…
"Continue reading if you can. By the time you're done reading, the almond crisp will probably be here…"
Yang Guang pulled the blanket on his body and leaned against the brocade pillow behind him, closing his eyes to rest…
However, He Ruobi's face was getting paler and paler, and he was covered in sweat. However, when he picked up the memorial and read it again, he had already lost his mind and did not dare to continue reading…
He quickly got down and knelt in front of Yang Guang. After a kowtow, he pressed his forehead against the ground."This old subject is guilty…"
"Guilty?"
Yang Guang opened his eyes and sat up, squinting at He Ruobi…
"It doesn't matter if you teach your son, or if you neglect your duty!”
He Ruobi was speechless, his forehead still pressed against the ground…
"There are countless officials in the Great Sui Dynasty. They founded the country with my father and have made contributions to the country! This was something that these people did not dare to do! Your He Ruobi's son and all the servants in the residence are dead!!!”
Yang Guang leaned back and casually picked up one of the seven or eight memorials from before and flipped it open…
However, with just a glance, it directly hit He Ruobi!
"Buying and selling officials, embezzling land, framing loyal officials, colluding with officials and businessmen, harming the country and the people... You, He Ruobi, the Shangzhu Kingdom, the Duke of Song, and the right-guard general, did a good job! With a backer like you, they dare to do things unscrupulously! If this went on for a long time, would the Great Sui Dynasty have the surname of Heruo?”
"This old minister deserves to die, this old minister deserves to die, emperor…"
"Die? How can you, He Ruobi, be sentenced to death! It's fine to teach your son if you're careless... All of these memorials seem to be related to you, but none of them are directly related to you. Even your concubines have accepted bribes from their subordinates. So many people have been greedy, but only you haven't. I want to punish you for these two crimes at most. It's admirable, General Heruo!”
"Ignoring the country is also a serious crime. This old minister deserves to die ten thousand times…"
He Ruobi lowered his head. The sweat on his forehead had already turned into bean-sized beads of sweat that dripped to the ground. His tone of voice had long lost the wailing and crying tone he had when he first entered the door. Instead, he was trembling with fear and extreme fear…
He could not investigate Duke Song's residence, which was also He Ruobi's residence, because if he did, something would definitely happen…
In the past, when all the officials remonstrated, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty sent someone to investigate once. In the end, He Ruobi was directly dismissed from office and demoted to a commoner. However, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty remembered the old relationship, so he did not really do anything to He Ruobi. Moreover, the things that He Ruobi did at that time were actually just a little greedy, not considered big...
But now, after He Ruobi was reinstated, it was still the same…
Although he didn't step forward, he had asked his child and the people in the residence to step forward. These matters were related to him, but they were not directly related. The crime involved an individual, and it couldn't involve the entire Heruo family…
Even if the matter was exposed, at most, he would be a godson. As for the sin of the evil slaves in the residence…
Moreover, He Ruobi had learned his lesson from the previous incident, so he had done it in secret. Only a few people knew about it. However, the memorials Yang Guang had shown him were written very clearly. Even the things that his three sons had done behind his back were written clearly. There was no room for He Ruobi to quibble…
Regardless of how Yang Guang knew about this matter, let alone whether these memorials were true or not, if this matter was exposed, then today's matter would completely change…
He Ruobi's son was just running amok on the streets, but he was killed. He also mentioned that he brought people to reason with him, but he was killed in the end…
Although he was not in the right, he was someone who had lost three sons in one day. He had his own pitiful aspects…
However, the matter of corruption had been exposed at this time. Even if He Ruobi had suffered a great grievance, he would still be hated by everyone…
As for the dead He Ruosheng, He Ruojin, and He Ruoju, they were the ones who were called 'good deaths' and 'wonderful deaths' by outsiders…
"Let's not talk about your three sons now. You don't want me to help you? He kept saying that he was guilty! You can't wait for me to convict you now!!”Yang Guang leaned against the silk brocade pillow and scolded He Ruobi. Huang Dao placed the freshly brewed tea on the table beside Yang Guang and cleared away all the original tea bowls. Eunuch Xiao Huang followed behind with a tray with almond cakes, cloud cakes, and other exquisite snacks on it.
