reborn monarch

In Fengtian Hall, there was a sense of silence.

The national public discussion had just been opened, and it was catching up with the news of the invasion of the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations. There were many casualties in the coastal cities, so Wen Jinli, who communicated with the Japanese pirates, suddenly committed a heinous crime. They have all become people who are not enough to be angry without beheading.

Scholars and students from all over the country jointly signed a letter, and the articles were eloquent and eloquent, but the central point was the same, that is, if Wen Jinli is not hacked into pieces, it will not be enough for the people to be angry.

The reason why the public reacted so strongly this time was because the local branch of Dali Temple was actively investigating the influence of the Wen Party, and the local official newspapers were operating in the same way as in the capital city. superior.

There is a saying in the previous dynasty, which is called "being an official for thousands of miles is only for money". This is naturally caused by corruption at the end of the previous dynasty.In this way, those places where the parents govern the fish and meat of the common people are not like cooking oil in a raging fire.

It is said that two days ago there was an unlucky ghost. When Dali Temple finally convicted and arrested him, he was shackled because of excessive public anger and was beaten by angry people, and his brain was broken on the spot.The people who committed the violence scattered and left, no witnesses were willing to testify and identify, and even a single suspect was not caught, not to mention that Emperor Qi Yuan ordered not to use harsh torture to extract confessions, so he is still an important member of one party, although according to his crimes He had to be beheaded, but he was "privately tortured" to death by the people, which really made the officials feel sad.

Don't talk about hands-on, which ordinary people dare to argue with officials?The intensity of public outrage can be seen.

All the officials listened to King Yan's detailed report, except for those who had a clear conscience, the rest gradually drenched with sweat.

I didn't realize that this newspaper was such a powerful mouthpiece before, with Jinyiwei inside and official newspapers and public opinion outside. If things go on like this, it will become more and more difficult to be an official.

Emperor Qi Yuan tilted his head, met Xie Jiuyuan's eyes at the bottom of the jade steps, and they both frowned.

Labeling Wen Jinli as a collaborator and traitor is a trick of ghosts, and it is also a way of treating him as a man. Gu Zhen has no regrets in his heart, and Xie Jiuyuan will not feel half guilty.The Wen party harmed the country, except for Wen Jinli, it was not a party | struggle, but for the safety of Da Chu.The means do not compromise the legitimacy of the end.

They single-handedly led Wen Jinli's downfall, and endured the layout for many years. Although Wen Chongde was a sudden help, but in order to hit a hit and avoid future troubles, they thought twice, and activated newspapers and public discussions in advance. Now public opinion is like a tiger The trend was expected, and their plan was fulfilled, but it was also really shocking.

Such a tool must still be restricted, otherwise, fortune and misfortune will be unpredictable.

The memorial in King Yan's hand was very long, and his voice was the only one echoing in the entire Fengtian Hall.

Different from the conspiracy theory envisioned by Baiguan, Emperor Qiyuan immediately sent King Yan as a messenger as soon as he returned to court. Instead of letting him return to the Department of Education under the Ministry of Rites, he set up a new Ministry of Cultural Exchange and served as the Minister of Culture. One position, at the same level as the six ministries and directly into the cabinet, responsible for the audit of official newspapers and bookstores in various places, management of exchange societies and public discussions among the people in various places, and handed over to King Yan to organize talents to translate and publish Western technical books, just the official newspaper It was enough for King Yan to keep his feet on the ground, which showed how much Emperor Qiyuan valued him.

At the same time as the minister of culture was appointed, the names of the six ministries were newly changed, all missing ministers were filled, and responsibilities were also added.

The Ministry of Officials was changed to the Ministry of the Interior, and the Minister of the Interior Ou Maozhu.

The Ministry of Households was changed to the Ministry of Finance, and the Minister of Finance Qin Jian.

The Ministry of Rites merged with the Hanlin Academy and was reorganized as the Ministry of Education, and Zuo Shilang, the former Ministry of Rites, was promoted to be the Minister of Education temporarily.

The Ministry of War was changed to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Emperor Qiyuan was directly responsible.

The Ministry of Punishment was changed to the Ministry of Constitutional State | Security, State | Security Minister Feng Pei.

The Ministry of Industry and the Institute of Innovation merged to become the Ministry of Science and Technology Development, and the Minister of Development was Wen Chongde.

In addition, Honglu Temple also changed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Ze.Dali Temple changed the Ministry of Justice before, and now it has been changed back. The number of Shaoqing in Dali Temple has increased from two to six, and it has added a subordinate department corresponding to the local Supervisory Council.

Not counting Emperor Qi Yuan, these seven ministers were all members of the cabinet, and Xie Jiuyuan, who returned to the court, naturally became the chief assistant of the cabinet.

At this point, Emperor Qiyuan was in charge of the military, Xie Jiuyuan was in charge of the cabinet, and Jiang Zaidao led the Dali Temple to supervise the upper and lower levels, opening a new era of supremacy of the king and three divisions of military, political and legal.

However, as the general of the Jinwu Guard and the principal of the Beidou Military Academy, Xie Jiuyuan's influence on the army should not be underestimated. suspected.

At this time, it seems that the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, especially when the foreign enemies are coming. Wen Jinli.

Of course, this is a scene that can only be seen after defeating foreign enemies.

The ministers finally heard that King Yan had finished reading the memorial, and they were asked by Emperor Qiyuan, "What do you think about it?"

How else to look at it?All the officials stood up from the good, and all of them gritted their teeth, wishing they could immediately sever ties with Wen Jinli, show their loyalty, and said what they said had the same meaning as the letter, so hurry up and chop it off.

It is almost impossible for anyone with some seniority in the court to have nothing to do with Wen Jinli. Except for officials like Qin Jian who have no friends, the others will not sleep well at night if Wen Jinli is not cut off.

Both Qin Jian and Feng Pei said that since the injustice has been rewarded, then Wen Jinli should be sentenced according to the laws of Da Chu, so that is how he should be sentenced.

On the contrary, Jiang Zaidao is upright. He said bluntly that Wen Jinli’s crime of collaborating with the enemy has only written evidence, and there is no follow-up witness testimony, so it is impossible to convict the real crime. It is a certainty, and Wen Jinli himself has committed many crimes. He also believes that Wen Jinli's death deserves more than guilt, so please His Majesty deal with it fairly.

Everyone in the hall was sweating because of Jiang Zaidao's boldness, but Emperor Qiyuan showed relief, opened his mouth, and said that since he said that he must strictly abide by the law, you are not joking, Wen Jinli's judgment will be handed over to Dali Temple I have full power to deal with it, and I only make the final confirmation, and I will follow this routine for major and important cases in the future.

All the officials immediately knelt down and worshiped, and Gao Songqi Yuandi was selfless.

He happily went to court, and Gu Zhen had just returned to the imperial study when news came from the military department that the enemy was not only attacking from the sea, but also that the northwest was not peaceful. Tianzhu had reached deals with some countries, and a small group of forces used Tianzhu to harass Silk Although there were special patrols for the merchants traveling on the westbound route, some merchants from Chu were killed.

Thinking of Xie Jingqing, Gu Zhen showed anxiety on his face, and ordered the military department to find out more details.

At night, Anxiwei sent the news first. It was an urgent report written by Yuanwei himself, stating that a merchant from Dachu was robbed, and the entire caravan was robbed in the wilderness. The military | military training of the foreign army | team, and several caravans disappeared at the same time. There are foreign businessmen and big Chu merchants. Anxi Wei has put pressure on Tianzhu together with the Western Regions Province to force them to investigate.

In addition, there is another bad news. Yesterday, the caravan of Silk Road official merchant Xie Jingqing also disappeared, but the good news is that the Anxiwei soldiers who escorted them left secret marks along the road, confirming that Xie Jingqing and the people in the caravan were still alive and had intentions Cooperate with Anxi Weili to rescue foreign businessmen.

What Gu Zhen is most afraid of is repeating the mistakes of his previous life. Xie Jingqing worked half his life for Xie Jiuyuan in his previous life, and finally died wronged in prison. Lu... Unfortunately, Xie Jiuyuan will go on an expedition in two days.

Gu Zhen was anxious in his heart, but he also knew that anxiety was useless, so he calmed down and passed the imperial decree, asking Yuanwei to mobilize Anxiwei to resolve the matter as soon as possible, and warned Tianzhu that if Tianzhu made another small move, Yuanwei could go to war to maintain the peace and harmony of the Silk Road. Great Chu Guowei.

Xie Jiuyuan also knew the news, after thinking it over and over again, he didn't tell Mrs. Xie, nor Xie Shishi who was leaving for Qianxi.

According to Xie Jiuyuan and Gu Zhen's intentions, they wanted to use this to adjust the court and transfer Xie Shishi back to the court, but Xie Shiyi couldn't let go of the local construction and the people. Not allowed to return to Beijing", he rejected the elder brother's proposal.Xie Jiuyuan knew that he had such a personality, so he didn't try to persuade him much. He was also secretly proud of this little brother who was able to endure hardships and was willing to endure hardships for the common people, so he took the time to teach Xie Shixi to accompany his mother for a few days, and then sent him back to Guizhou. West carriage.

"Brother", Xie Shiyi has become more and more dignified as he grows up, and he is no longer entangled with the twisted candy like monkeys when he was a child. On behalf of the people of Guizhou Province, I would like to thank you, Brother and Your Majesty, it is all thanks to you that they can now eat salt at an average price and use clean water."

Xie Jiuyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It's rare that the younger brother acted coquettishly again, and he actually talked about political affairs, but he was full of heart, so Xie Jiuyuan had no choice but to reply: "...It's what your brother and sister-in-law should do."

Xie Shiyi lowered his head and smiled sullenly, and sold a secret to Xie Jiuyuan: "Master Chief Assistant, mother is looking forward to your taking sister-in-law back home for dinner."

Xie Jiuyuan also laughed, but his tone was helpless: "Then I have to come back from the southeast anyway."

Thinking of his elder brother's going to war, Xie Shixi stared at Xie Jiuyuan's silver hair, smiled again, lowered his head and blinked, worried: "Brother, take care and come back safely."

"Don't worry," Xie Jiuyuan patted him on the shoulder, and simply comforted him, "Take care too, don't overwork yourself on weekdays. Go."

Xie Shixi nodded, gritted his teeth, turned his head and got into the carriage. The guard bowed to Xie Jiuyuan, and with a sound of the horsewhip, he galloped away with the carriage.

Xie Jiuyuan also got into the sedan chair, and the bearer was safe and secure. He returned to the city from outside the city. There was a new notice posted at the gate of the city. A Jingwei relayed to the people: "It's the verdict issued by Dali Temple! Wen Jinli's case! Your Majesty! Once it is sealed, it will be executed when it comes out of the new year!"

As soon as the words fell, the surrounding people immediately cheered. Not long after, firecrackers sounded from all sides of the capital, and some people beat gongs and drums to celebrate. There was still more than half a month before New Year's Eve. For a while, the whole city was very lively. It's a bit of an early New Year's Eve.

The sedan chair passed through the festive crowd and entered the gate of Xie Mansion.

As soon as Xie Jiuyuan stepped into the front hall, he was taken aback.

The author has something to say:

*Mr. Xie this time is regarded as a transfer at the same level from the perspective of grade, but from the perspective of power, it is a promotion~ But he is about to go out again~

*Surprised by Wangcai jumping up to the bedroom doorknob in the middle of the night, he put it in the manuscript box and forgot to post it ╮(╯▽╰)╭
