Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 264: Changes (5)

"The new emperor has just ascended the throne. In order to stabilize the government, he will not go to great lengths to fight. If I expose this matter, most of the emperor will turn it into a small matter. On the contrary, I will be regarded as a thorn in the side of those officials. Get rid of it quickly, so I will hide it and not report it."

"Once I conceal it, I can only turn a blind eye to the matter of Lingzhou. In the officialdom, I have to abide by the rules of power and tactics. Uncle has too many things in his own hands. I know that paper can't cover fire, this The matter will be revealed sooner or later, I did not accept bribes, in order to leave a way out for myself."

Xiao Yao had mixed feelings, her uncle was neither a clean official nor a corrupt official.

Uncle’s approach is beyond reproach. No matter which era the unspoken rules of officialdom exist, how can one resist it by one’s own strength. The general trend is going down, and most people just follow the trend.

If Xiao Shangshu is as clean as water, where will the food and clothing of the 100 people in the Xiao family come from?

"Uncle, I'm relieved if you can clearly understand this."

"Yao'er, don't worry, the minister of the Ministry of Industry has been dismissed, and many officials of the Ministry of Industry have also been implicated. The entire Ministry of Industry has no leader and is in chaos. Replacing me, I can't take over the huge work immediately. If I am knocked down at this critical moment, the Ministry of Industry will be paralyzed"

Xiao Yao nodded. What Uncle said made sense. The emperor is not a fool. He couldn’t just watch the Ministry of Industry’s functions collapse. The Ministry of Industry is such a huge organization that manages engineering affairs across the country. Once it stops, it will suffer heavy losses.

But since the emperor didn't want to investigate his uncle, why did he go so far as to imprison him? This matter seems not as simple as it seems on the surface, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Xiao Yao went to see the emperor that day.

The emperor's temporary office residence is full of people coming and going, and officials are busy handling various affairs, just like a small imperial court.

The emperor indifferently encouraged her with a few words of credit for controlling the plague in Anshun, and then immersed herself in her official duties.

Seeing that the emperor didn't mention his uncle, Xiao Yao didn't dare to intercede easily, so he could only go back to the temporary palace and wait for the news.
