Chapter 1166: Chapter 932 The Truth 11
The Empress Dowager Xiao smiled at her, tilted her head for a moment, and then told her.
"I honestly don’t know what your eighth uncle is doing.
I only know that most of the time, he stays in that small palace next to the Fengxian Palace.
He doesn’t come out unless something important happens!"
"Oh! Ah! I got it!"
The little girl suddenly opened her big eyes, her big eyes were shiny, round, and sparkling.
"What do you know?"
"Now the court is catching big villains, so the eighth uncle has come out from the forbidden place!"
The Empress Dowager Xiao and Nanny Xiao chuckled softly.
"The Princess is truly adorable!"
Nanny Xiao washed her feet, helping her wash them herself, then untied her hair and slowly combed it.
"Princess, why did they suddenly arrest the left and right Chancellor?"
Nanny Xiao asked casually, but in fact, this was a kind of probing.
However, Xiaosuisui was young, and because Nanny Xiao was someone by the Empress Dowager’s side, and the Empress Dowager had been curious about this as well, Xiaosuisui answered without thinking.
"It’s because when His Majesty’s adoptive father was interrogating Liu Yuheng, he mentioned that his external position was plotted by Li Xu, the Assistant Minister."
"Yawn"
At this point, Xiaosuisui couldn’t help but yawn before continuing, "Then the eighth uncle said that if Liu Yuheng’s position was arranged by Li Xu, the Assistant Minister, then it couldn’t be achieved, so His Majesty’s adoptive father immediately ordered the arrest of the left and right Chancellor."
"Yawn!"
Xiaosuisui yawned again and asked the Empress Dowager.
"Grandma, why can eighth uncle deduce that there are others involved just from something Liu Yuheng said?"
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyebrows upon hearing this, "How sleepy are you that you’ve mistaken Grandma for your grandmother!"
Xiaosuisui jolted in surprise, quickly sat up straight and called out "Grandma!"
"Grandma! I’m not sleepy; I just habitually call out for Grandmother!"
Empress Dowager Xiao laughed softly.
She reached out and gently pinched her little nose.
"If you’re sleepy, just go to sleep! Grandma will explain it to you later!"
"No way, no way! Grandma, tell me now, Suisui really isn’t sleepy."
Xiaosuisui nestled in Empress Dowager Xiao’s arms, nuzzling, making Empress Dowager Xiao’s heart melt!
"Alright, alright, Grandma will tell you!"
"Hmm! Grandma is so good!"
Empress Dowager Xiao shook her head helplessly, "I really can’t do anything with you!"
Xiaosuisui giggled.
So heartwarming!
"The reason your eighth uncle could say that there were others involved with Liu Yuheng’s plotted position was because Liu Yuheng had already served a term in the Southwest Road, and even before he officially took office, he acted as the administrative commissioner for over half a year, which by the rules of the court, local officials are usually rotated every three years.
This Liu Yuheng was the administrative commissioner in Southwest Road, managing the people’s livelihood in the area.
However, not even three years had passed when the Inspector of the Southwest Road was assassinated while investigating a case.
At that time, no one in the court dared to take on this hot potato, and later, it was proposed by the left Chancellor Song Yuan that Liu Yuheng, the administrative commissioner, temporarily assume the responsibilities.
In any case, there were precedents for such things in the court, so His Majesty agreed.
Later, because the candidate for Inspector hadn’t been decided, he continued after his term ended."
At this point, Xiaosuisui was no longer sleepy and quickly asked.
"That’s only about his business outside! Grandma, weren’t you going to tell me why the eighth uncle knew there were others involved?"
"This is the key, the reason your eighth uncle could identify the critical points is that he’s very familiar with the court officials’ backgrounds.
He knows their origins, knows their Imperial Examination, knows when they entered office.
He also knows what positions they have held in this court.
What year they were promoted, and so on!"
Xiaosuisui’s eyes were filled with admiration again.
"Eighth uncle is really amazing!"
"Yes! Your Majesty’s adoptive father can secure his Kingdom because of your seventh and eighth uncle’s talents.
So Suisui, if one day you find out your two uncles don’t want to help your Majesty’s adoptive father to stabilize the Kingdom, you must remind them that your Majesty’s adoptive father is a good Emperor, with him, the people can live without worries, with plenty of food and clothing, okay?"
Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously, "Hmm hmm! Okay, Suisui will remember!"
Nanny Xiao stood by, watching this scene, letting out a silent sigh, truly raising a child to a hundred years, worries will last for ninety-nine!
