Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 67, Emperor Qing warned, do you want to let even your dog eat the emperor's food?
"Lord Liu, His Majesty invites you to the palace for a chat."

The young eunuch has a rosy complexion and white teeth. If he had not entered the palace, he would have looked like a handsome young man.

The attitude of this young eunuch was surprisingly good.

Liu Hong spoke tentatively.

"Hong Zhu?"

"How does your Excellency know my name?"

Hong Zhu was stunned, feeling a little unbelievable, as this was the first time he met Liu Hong.

"I once heard some interesting stories in the palace, saying that a young eunuch fanned mosquitoes and insects for Hong Sixiang at night and won his appreciation. I didn't expect that I would actually meet the real person."

Liu Hong laughed.

Didn't he submit a memorial to the emperor and severely punish the prefect and generals of Yingzhou just to win over Hong Zhu?
Huang Ming is from Yingzhou and has a huge influence in Yingzhou.

Emperor Qing would only think that Huang Ming wanted to wipe out all of Huang Ming's sphere of influence and would not make any more guesses.

After all, Emperor Qing did a lot of these things!
"Master Liu, thank you for helping me get justice."

Hong Zhu is not a fool. He knows that everything about him has been investigated by Liu Hong.

Even the memorial impeaching the Yingzhou prefect, a fourth-rank official, might have been intentional.

But for a little eunuch like me, it would take a long time to take revenge!

In any case, Hong Zhu accepted Liu Hong's favor.

Liu Hong remained silent, knowing that he was too abrupt and couldn't make Hong Zhu open up to him like Fan Xian did.

However, the news in the palace is too blocked, and I am currently in a period of rise, so this is the only way.

An ordinary third-rank official might only come to the emperor's study two or three times a year, but Liu Hong came two or three times a month.

Even Eunuch Hou who was outside was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Emperor Qing valued Liu Hong so much.

In fact, it is not that Emperor Qing values ​​Liu Hong, but the Qin family needs checks and balances, and Fan Xian, the prince's whetstone, has already been on the right track.

However, Emperor Qing was a little worried about the prince's temper. In order to prevent the knife from breaking, he had to find a shield.

Liu Hong's sudden rise just happened to coincide with Emperor Qing's little thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I, Liu Hong, pay my respects to you!"

Liu Hong was about to perform this great ceremony.

Emperor Qing waved his hand in a tolerant manner. He was willing to show tolerance to his chess piece.

"That's enough! If you're injured, don't go through all these tedious formalities. Just take a look..."

Emperor Qing threw an impeachment memorial to Liu Hong.

The corners of Liu Hong's mouth twitched slightly. The Qin family seemed like ghosts and evil spirits, always haunting him.

It's only been a few days and my injuries haven't healed yet, but now they're impeaching me again.

There are three impeachments against Liu Hong.

First, Liu Hong was greedy for power and still monopolized power in the Ministry of War during the impeachment. Second, he was greedy for money and embezzled a lot of money during his tenure as a minister. Third, he formed a clique and promoted as many subordinates as possible in Qianlong Bay, appointing people based on personal connections.

After seeing this memorial, Liu Hong felt relieved.

If any king saw that Liu Hong had violated so many taboos, his first reaction would be to kill him.

But for Emperor Qing, is it a big deal to be greedy for power, money, and form cliques for personal gain?

If all his subordinates were censors of the Censorate, they would be a group of upright and honest people.

How can Emperor Qing ensure the supremacy of imperial power?

"Your Majesty! The Qin family is appalling. I have been working diligently in the Ministry of War and have not dared to be negligent for a moment. I did not expect to be framed like this. Please, Your Majesty, kill Qin Heng!"

Liu Hong raised his head and spoke righteously.

He was so emotional, as if he had really suffered such a great humiliation.

Emperor Qing curled his lips. How could he not know whether Liu Hong did it or not?

"Are you sure you want to check? I remember you brought over a thug named Zhou Ke who couldn't read a single word, and you promoted him to the position of deputy commander-in-chief of half a battalion."

As expected, Liu Hong's expression changed, and he deliberately showed anxiety, nervousness, and rapid breathing to Emperor Qing.

Emperor Qing saw that he had hit Liu Hong's soft spot and his tone became stern.

"A thug who doesn't even have any military merits has become the deputy governor. Are you planning to let the black dog you keep in the compound eat a share of the government's food next?"

Liu Hong made a prompt decision and knelt on the ground, sweat dripping all over the ground. "I am terrified, I know my crime..."

There was a hint of sarcasm on Emperor Qing's face. If he really wanted to capture Liu Hong, why would he have let him into the palace specifically?

"Take a good look! Learn from the Qin family and see how they remain unmoved."

Emperor Qing waved his hand and lay lazily on the couch.

The Qin family already knew that they couldn't be on good terms with Liu Hong, but they didn't know if the Minister Liu they had chosen would understand that.

"Your Highness, I impeach the Qin family for selling official positions and titles. He..."

Liu Hong's psychological defenses seemed to collapse. He clenched his teeth, ready to bite the Qin family out.

Emperor Qing lightly tapped the memorials on the table.

"I don't want to hear empty words... Go back and think about it carefully."

Every time Fan Xian entered the palace, Emperor Qing's tone was full of doting, even when he was plotting against Fan Xian.

If it were Liu Hong, all he did was banging.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's because I don't have a good father.

Liu Hong felt a little tired for a moment. If Qianlong Bay had not been arranged properly, he really didn't want to stay in Kyoto.

If you are no longer of any use, you will be taken advantage of by others if you are not careful.

Dragging his somewhat tired body, Liu Hong prepared to leave the palace.

The princess's personal lady-in-waiting, Liu Qinghe, had a smile on her face and it looked like she had been waiting for a long time.

Hong Zhu, who had taken Liu Hong out of the palace, was just about to speak.

Liu Hong shook his head. There was no way to escape.

From beginning to end, Liu Hong didn't understand why the eldest princess was so interested in him and didn't have the slightest intention of seducing him.

"Minister Liu, you haven't been to the palace for a long time. The princess misses you very much."

When Liu Qinghe said this, her tone was somewhat jealous.

She couldn't understand why Liu Hong refused even though the princess invited him to join the Junshan Society.

The eldest princess also smiled without saying anything, and deliberately asked her officials to help the Qin family's impeachment to boost momentum and arouse Emperor Qing's fear.

It seemed as if the princess truly regarded Liu Hong as her son-in-law.

When she arrived at Guangxin Palace, the eldest princess was still wearing a white dress, and her face in her thirties looked adorable.

If it weren't for the eldest princess's syphilis, the crown prince would have probably already been infected by now.

"Liu Hong is here! Come over here..."

The eldest princess chuckled and waved.

Near the screen, a young and strong general of the imperial guards in his thirties stood behind the eldest princess.

With an attitude of reverence and a bit of suppressed love, he stood beside her like a dog.

"This is Yan Xiaoyi, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Liu Hong, you probably haven't seen him before! He is the only ninth-rank upper sharpshooter in the world."

"Hello, Commander Yan."

Liu Hong saluted hastily. The commander of the imperial guards was of the second rank, and was only stronger than the emperor's favorite, and he also had the support of the eldest princess behind him.

Yan Xiaoyi pulled up a smile and wondered why the princess introduced Liu Hong to him.

"I have already contacted Zhuang Mohan of Northern Qi to smear Fan Xian's reputation in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. What do you think of this?"

The eldest princess spoke casually.

Yan Xiaoyi was loyal to her, so it wasn't surprising that she could talk about this plan in front of him.

But Liu Hong didn't understand that he had been keeping a safe distance from the eldest princess from the beginning to the end.

Why does the eldest princess seem to treat him as her confidant?

"The princess's plan is bound to succeed."

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes revealed a hint of fanaticism as he looked at the beautiful figure in front of him.

The eldest princess smiled without saying anything. She slowly turned her gaze to Liu Hong and spoke softly.

"Liu Hong, what do you think?"
