Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Dali Temple, Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai are also known as the Three Divisions. What these three divisions have in common is that their chief officials have the right to go directly to Tianting through the two places under Zhongshumen.

The Ministry of Punishment has six ranks and has a lot of affairs, while Yushitai is a nest of stinky stones, watching the clan courtiers and the emperor all the time looking for trouble for him, there is no time to stop, so Dali Temple has always been the most leisurely place.

They only accept cases, and in previous years these cases were reported by Yushitai. They were responsible for checking whether the facts of the cases were true, and then transferred the finalized cases to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for disposal.

Who would have thought that the drum of grievances, which had been neglected for so many years, would one day be struck.

Several important ministers had also heard about what happened in Dali Temple that day. Although they were apprehensive when they were summoned, they were much better than the Minister of Military Aircraft who was completely confused.

Li Shangshu from the household department was urging the year-end grain and silver inventory in the treasury, so he came the latest. When he lowered his head and came in, he could smell blood in the palace. In a cold sweat.

Before he could see the ceremony, Emperor Zhenyuan waved him away, and said coldly: "Everyone is here, so let's listen to the plaintiff's grievances."

Dali Temple's Drum of Crying Wrongs was not so easy to beat. Qian Hui suffered [-] slaps and rolled a knife. Although he was stained with hemostasis and bandaged, his face was disastrous and his face was covered with cold sweat. Hearing the sound, he still knelt and said loudly: "Caomin Qian Hui, formerly the adopted son of Dou Changdong, a general stationed in Liangzhou, had no intention of overcoming Dou Changdong, who fabricated a fake war and lied about his military achievements, and was chased all the way to the capital. Caomin was assassinated many times in Beijing this year. In September, he had nowhere to go and was taken in by the Marquis of Zhenbei. One life. I thought I was going to escape, but I didn't expect that the people who were chasing and killing the day before yesterday would enter the Hou's mansion to take the lives of the grass people. The grass people knew that Dou Changdong had made another big mistake and tried to silence them, so they had to kill Dou Changdong and his subordinates. Sue Sheng Ting for the crime."

There were no fools present, and the profound meaning hidden in a few words suddenly emerged in their hearts, and they finally understood why His Majesty the Emperor was so furious.

Lied about military exploits.

This matter can be covered up in private no matter what, but once it is made public, it is a serious crime of beheading!

The military merits are reported from the major garrisons, the Ministry of War reviews and approves them, and the Ministry of Households distributes rewards and silvers. I don't know how many people are involved.

Fortunately, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance said that after all, their eyes are not glued to the major garrisons, and the biggest problem is still with the supervising troops!

According to the military system of Dajing, there is one division for every [-] soldiers, one captain in charge of one division, one supervisor, one supervisor for each level up, and a commander for the general battalion, thus forming a supervisory army. Obey the orders and supervise the army commander.

The supervisory army changes every three years, and every month a secret letter from the supervisory commander will be submitted to the military aircraft department, stating the training, participation in the war, and military achievements of each army.

The supervising army is directly under the emperor, and the imperial order is not to obey anyone else.

Originally, with this group of people, Emperor Zhenyuan was not worried about the real "Tiangaodidiyuan" happening, but if these people he trusted rebelled, it would undoubtedly be a serious setback to the royal family's control of military power.

And now, what the royal family was most worried about happened.

Dou Changdong can even fabricate fake battles, but His Majesty doesn't know anything about it. The reason is beyond his imagination. It must be that the supervisor sent by His Majesty concealed it and did not report it.And with Dou Jun's family in Liangzhou, the supervising troops sent by other garrisons also made His Majesty the emperor lose his trust in an instant. His Majesty's thorough investigation of this matter will definitely start a fire!

Chang Shangshu of the Ministry of War was the first to react. He stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the list of military merits submitted by General Dou Changdong has the personal seals of General Dou and the supervising army. Approval is only granted if there are no outliers. The calculation of military merits is based on battles and battle reports. The meritorious service below the title of General Zhonglang will not be sent to the army for inspection and approval. Therefore, if the battle is false, the verification by the Ministry of War is also invalid. It's just... Could it be that Mr. Qian is saying that the supervisor sent by His Majesty is also working hand in hand with Dou Changdong to protect each other?"

It is the responsibility of the Ministry of War to verify military merits. Chang Shouan knew something bad when he heard it, and quickly reported it to the Ministry of War.

Even if the Ministry of War has dereliction of duty, it is better than being thought by His Majesty that they have colluded with Dou Changdong, this must be cleared up.

He is also considered a smart man. Having said that, he was a little bit out of the prison and diverted the army to the east to save the Ministry of War.

Sure enough, Emperor Zhenyuan's face froze when he heard the word "supervising the army".

Qian Hui replied: "According to the secret investigation of the grassroots, the two superintendents in succession must have the suspicion of not reporting the knowledge. A few years ago, a supervising soldier died shortly after he arrived in Liangzhou Dou's army, probably because he did not know what to do. I would like to join forces with Dou Changdong, and I will suffer misfortune if I report to His Majesty."

When Chang Shangshu heard this, he took a deep breath and said movedly: "According to Mr. Qian, could it be that General Dou -- Dou Changdong lied about his military achievements at least five or six years ago? Such crimes are not trivial, do you have evidence?"

Qian Hui smiled wryly, "As Dou Changdong's adoptive son, Qian Hui received the grace of his upbringing since he was a child. If he couldn't survive, how could he sue his father with his son? As for the evidence, Qian Hui really can't produce it. However, only His Majesty Sending people to visit Dou Jun unannounced will be able to find out the authenticity."

Emperor Zhenyuan looked at the two of them coldly, then glanced at the people in the imperial study one by one, and said in a deep voice: "Marquis of Zhenbei, did you ever know about it and not report it?"

Zhu Chengyuan half-kneeled and performed a military salute, and said: "Return to Your Majesty, Dou Changdong once served his subordinates, Qian Hui was his adopted son, and the old minister cared about this affection, so he would help him when he was down and down. As for the hidden secrets, It was also the assassination in the mansion the day before yesterday that I only learned about from Qian Hui. I wanted to go to the palace overnight to report to His Majesty, but...it was too late, and I couldn't cross the military plane to present such important matters to His Majesty. Qian Hui Then I regretted and said that I would go to Dali Temple to sue, but I felt that this method was better than my original plan, so I let him go."

Emperor Zhenyuan turned his head to look at Qian Hui: "Since you entered Beijing a year ago, why didn't you report Dou Changdong's crime to Dali Temple at that time?"

Qian Hui buried his head even deeper, and said in panic, "The grassroots are guilty. Although Dou Changdong committed a heinous crime, he raised the grassroots. This is a serious crime of beheading and exterminating the entire family. The grassroots... the benevolence of a woman made a big mistake in a single thought."

Zhu Chengyuan smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister cannot be exonerated at this time. I trained Dou Changdong, that old bastard. I didn't expect that son of a bitch to do such a stupid thing when his wings were stiff. It is really hateful. I am really blind." -"

"Ahem, Lord Zhenbei, don't speak dirty words before the emperor."

Eunuch Dongsheng reminded tightly.

Zhu Chengyuan shut his mouth in embarrassment.

Emperor Zhenyuan didn't have the heart to blame him at this time, but turned to look at the Chang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and said: "Not long ago, I heard from you that Liangzhou had several wars with the Xiongnu. Among them, there are military exploits reported by Dou Changdong. ?”

Chang Shangshu was sweating coldly, and said truthfully: "Yes, Xihai County reported two wars, and there are nearly a thousand people from the head of the village to the captain who applied for military merit."

He didn't dare to say that the Ministry of War had already approved the two sums of military merit, so he had to register and make a book to discuss the rewards with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Emperor Zhenyuan snorted, "Immediately send spies to Liangzhou. I want to see how my second-rank generals have dedicated themselves to me and made many military exploits."

Chang Shangshu quickly responded.

Only then did the emperor turn his attention to the silent Minister of Military Aircraft: "Every supervising army I sent was jointly recommended by three second-rank ministers or above from the Military Aircraft Department. Candidates."

The minister of military aircraft fell to his knees and said he was guilty.

Emperor Zhenyuan said: "Today, I will send people to go to the various armies to reward the supervising army sent by my relatives. If someone gets the news in advance, I will not tolerate any of you who recommend it. Can you hear me clearly?"

"The minister waits for the order."

The horror they suffered was much more than that of the Minister of War. You must know that many of the supervisors are related to them. Some military ministers knew what the supervisors recommended by them knew. Scared to think deeply.And some people don't know what the supervising army is doing, and they are also terrified, lest they commit crimes behind their backs and hurt themselves.

Emperor Zhenyuan saw it in his eyes and felt a chill in his heart.

Apart from the imperial power, the biggest restriction of the royal family on the military power is these supervising troops.

If these strikers have switched to his team and concealed the royal family for them, it means that the royal family has lost control of those soldiers.If it's just one or two, it's not enough, but if it's not the case, he will have to make drastic moves to turn the tide.

Emperor Zhenyuan was upset, but he didn't show it on the surface. Even though he was extremely angry, he didn't say or do anything aggressive. Instead, he looked at the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households and continued: "You two will reward all the military achievements of the troops stationed in each state for ten years. Once they are listed in a book, they will be submitted to Zhongshu at noon tomorrow. The prime minister and the left and right ministers will stay in the palace to review the case book. If there are any discrepancies, they will extract and report."

"As for the plaintiff, since the Zhenbeihou Mansion protected his life, he proposed to transfer from the Dali Prison to the Zhenbeihou Mansion, and asked the Zhenbeihou Mansion to protect the life of the witness."

When Zhu Chengyuan heard the words, he should be right away.

The emperor ordered them to block the news and investigate the matter closely, but he was worried that these ministers of military aircraft would tip off his important affairs, and detained them all at the military aircraft, in order not to let them go until the dust settled on this matter.

The more angry Emperor Zhenyuan became, the colder his tone became. The few people who were allowed to leave the palace to wait for orders could only take a few breaths. After leaving the palace, they found a place to discuss countermeasures. They wanted to call Lord Zhenbei, but Zhu Chengyuan didn't pay attention. He refused directly, and after returning to the mansion with half-dead money, he simply closed the door to thank the guests.

There were still a few days before Guozixue suspended school, Zhu Dingbei hurried back after school that day, and when he learned that Qian Hui was taken back to the mansion to recuperate, his face changed slightly.

"What's the problem?"

Zhu Chengyuan didn't care about this matter at first, but seeing his grandson's reaction to this matter, his heart skipped a beat.

Zhu Dingbei sighed and rubbed his brows, and said in a bad mood: "Your Majesty is unhappy and doesn't want us to have a good time! If he stays in Dali Temple, it's fine. Now that he's at our house, he will be separated from Zhenbeihoufu and Zhenbeihoufu. The Zhu family is tied together. Even if we said that we didn’t know about the crimes committed by Dou Changdong before, Qian Hui’s lawsuit can be said to be the origin of this matter. When those military ministers and state garrisons are out of danger, don’t count all of these On our heads?"

Old Hou Ye: "...the emperor is a bastard—!!"

He held back the rebellious curses, but his face flushed into a liver color.

Zhu Dingbei's words were not finished yet: "Your Majesty deserves to be farsighted. Let's share the anger of these officers with him. When he is about to carry out the New Deal, he will be the first to push our Zhu family army and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion to him. Withstood the pressure from all sides!"

Old Hou Ye: "..."

He couldn't find anything to say, the Zhu family couldn't bear it if they didn't want to!

Zhu Dingbei's face was sullen, he never expected that he missed a move and was severely slapped by the emperor!
