C971 Enter the Palace
Shen Muqing nodded: "This is a very important matter. You should hurry up and leave, I'm afraid that I'll get into trouble too."0
Hai Rui understood the meaning behind Shen Muqing's words and solemnly nodded his head. "This official will go back and pack up now, we will travel through the night."
Shen Muqing was still worried as he watched Hai Rui leave. He didn't believe that the Jinghang Canal, which had triggered the rebellion of the 36th Marquis of Sui Mu, would be stopped like this. However, this matter was left up to fate.
After packing up, he said to Shen Wei Zhongxian, "Eunuch, let's enter the palace."
The Human Emperor was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, causing Wei Zhongxian to leave early in the morning. There was still no sign of him, could it be that this fellow got lost halfway?
There were already hundreds of impeachment petitions on the table, so the Human Emperor didn't have the mood to do anything else. He just started to ponder about the Bank of China, but still couldn't come up with anything after thinking for a few hours.
Just when he was about to send his eunuchs to urge them on, Wei Zhongxian and Shen Muqing finally arrived. Wei Zhongxian said nervously, "Greetings, Your Majesty. Liu Tie has arrived."
This was the first time that Wei Zhongxian had delayed so long to reply to the imperial edict, so he was naturally flustered. Shen Muqing found Wei Zhongxian's look a little funny, but Shen Muqing said indifferently, "This son pays his respects to Imperial Father."
Two balls of anger emerged from the Human Emperor's eyes. He slapped the book and said, "Ninth Brother, how dare you! You haven't come this late, and you still won't apologize? "
Shen Muqing was surprised and said, "Didn't I follow the imperial edict? Why am I late? royal father, please enlighten me. "
The Human Emperor said, "You still want to argue? It's already past noon and you're still late? "
Shen Muqing replied, "This son follows according to the imperial edict. I don't know when royal father will allow this son to enter the palace. I hope that you can forgive me." The Human Emperor was speechless from Shen Muqing's explanation. However, it was written on the edict.
Wei Zhongxian said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Everything was this old servant's fault. This old servant didn't write it clearly when I was writing the imperial edict, and it caused a rift between His Majesty and Prince of Yan. Damn it, I deserve to die!"
The Human Emperor knew that he couldn't do anything to Shen Muqing, he could only say: "Alright, be careful next time."
Wu Tie let out a sigh of relief, "Yes, this servant thanks Your Majesty for his kindness." Then he retreated to the side, feeling glad in his heart that it was Shen Muqing who committed the crime.
Shen Muqing's reason for being late was sufficient. The Human Emperor couldn't do anything about it, so he changed the topic, "Do you know what the so-called matters are this time?"
Shen Muqing looked at the pile of impeachment petitions on the table and said: "Isn't it because of the Bank of China? You must definitely question this son of yours. "
The Human Emperor coldly snorted. "This matter has already alarmed the widows. Since that's the case, why don't we properly discuss it with them? It would be fine to just say it earlier."
This son thought that royal father was able to see that his Bank of China was extraordinary, but he never expected royal father to so lightly believe in the impeachment process held by the Imperial Censorate. If I knew earlier, this son would have definitely had a good talk with royal father about it, to ease royal father's worries.
Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian thought Shen Muqing was going to give in, but he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. Indeed, Prince of Yan wasn't afraid of the heavens or the earth, even if he admitted to his mistakes, he was still looking down on the Human Emperor for his shallow knowledge.
