Queen's Road in the Red House

In July, there were constant thunderstorms in the sky, and the thunderous power of the Supreme Emperor in the capital did not diminish for several days.

A snoozing tiger is still a tiger. Back in the army, he was able to personally kill his favorite general who delayed the military plane, and he was able to personally capture his rebellious son and imprison him—the Supreme Emperor has softened his heart all these years, and he is still the same emperor.

"After I abdicated, I thought that I killed too much when I was young, and that my parents and children became traitors when I was old. That's why I wanted to accumulate good fortune and longevity. Many things passed by with a blind eye. But they became more and more vigorous. Get up! Since you don’t want to live a good life, you have turned over the table and don’t even pass it! You risked your ancestor’s life and blood to get a half-job, not to mention being a prudent official, but ruining the common people.”

The emperor nodded three times below, agreeing with the emperor's will.

The emperor was furious, laying down millions of corpses, bleeding.

Although this year's Taishanghuang and the emperor's fury did not stop there, it also caused a major earthquake in the officialdom: the crimes of many honorable families were found out.

Negligence of subordinates, rampant domineering, bullying the people, and profiteering have all become petty crimes, and some serious crimes that have harmed the country and collaborated with the enemy, such as privately carrying sharp guns and ammunition, greedy for empty salaries, stealing military food, occupying civilian land, and privately opening border trade Mansions are raided every day, and officials are dismissed every day.

--

Xin Hongcheng has been working overtime in the official department for four or five consecutive days, and he can only take a break every day until the third watch.

Occasionally, when he came back to change clothes, the face saint was also in a hurry. Daiyu saw that he had to go to the Supreme Emperor to listen to the training and answer in the scorching heat in just a few days, and blisters formed on the top of his lips. In the palace, medicines for relieving summer heat and fire are prepared, and every time he comes back, he will be handed a bowl quickly.

Although Xin Hongcheng had heard about the actions of corrupt officials and cruel officials in the past, he had heard about them after all. Now when he looked at the detailed dossiers in the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment, he couldn't help but feel terrified: sometimes a few words mean dozens of lives, and dozens of households. The family is broken.

Speaking to Daiyu, his expression was cold and stern, and the expression of the emperor seemed to be poured out of a mold: "It seems that Uncle Rui's crime is really a mustard seed, and the light of a firefly candle can't stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun and the moon!"

Daiyu is no more like she used to be a girl in a deep house compound, and she doesn't understand the hardships of people's livelihood. Now after hearing these things, she also feels that the evil is full of evil: "You are wrong in this comparison, they also match the sun and the moon?"

Xin Hongcheng squeezed the center of his brows, and also felt quite a headache: "The herbal tea and medicinal diet prepared by the imperial doctor Zhou are all very good, unlike those in the imperial hospital, which are so bitter that you don't need to eat after drinking. Give some more to the emperor and father, not only I'm on fire all by myself."

Daiyu thought for a while: "Leave these trivial matters to me."

In fact, it's not good, just send it directly.Zhou Huangwei was matched according to Xin Hongcheng's body, spleen and stomach, which may not match the physique of the two saints.What's more, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have always used the imperial physician they are used to, and they also drink medicinal food to cool off the heat. Now that Zhou Huangwei has already engaged, there is really no need to show such limelight in the imperial hospital.

However, the Supreme Emperor is not feeling well, and they Chonghua Palace can't express that there is nothing at all.

Xin Hongcheng was relieved of Daiyu, and said nothing about it.

After changing his clothes, he was about to go out, and when he reached the door, he braked immediately: "I'm also confused, I came back this way not just to change clothes, but to tell you a few words: Although the Ningguo Mansion is going to remove all world positions , took off the royal plaque, but the Rongguo Mansion is fine. I also went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to speak personally, and it doesn’t matter if they want to copy and inspect the Ningguo Mansion according to the imperial decree, but they are not allowed to make a scene with open flames, let alone take the sheep to the Rongguo next door. Go to the government."

Daiyu lowered her head slightly: "Thank you very much."

Seeing this, Xin Hongcheng couldn't help but continue to ask: "Are you taking it to heart? Or is someone in the harem pointing to this matter and saying something bad? In fact, since last year when the imperial censor participated in the performance, Ning Rong's second mansion has become more and more broken. Grandpa and Father both know about the relationship."

Daiyu shook her head with a smile and said: "You still said that I like to think too much, but you yourself are too thoughtful. Who in this palace can say that I can't do it? What's more, most of the ladies in the palace are from noble families. Who doesn't have one right now? Unlucky relatives who are concerned about each other, no one will talk about others, and no one is afraid of others talking about it."

Then he pushed Xin Hongcheng out: "Father ordered you to come in and answer, but you just stood here and didn't leave, why don't you go quickly."

Xin Hongcheng took a look at her and left without looking at her.

Mo Ran was at the side tidying up the summer robe that Xin Hongcheng had replaced: "His Royal Highness is really a rare kindness to your empress." After a pause, he continued: "Because the fifteenth day of this month is the Ghost Festival, none of Jiaofang's family members have ever entered the palace. Tomorrow - it is estimated that many people will come to the empress to knock on the wooden clock, crying and pleading for the whole family, it will be a troublesome thing."

The comparison between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion is quite different: it can be said that once Ningguo Mansion returned to before liberation, all of them became white, and even the house was taken back by the state; Don't tell me, Jia Lian also took the title of third-class general.

So everyone thought it was the face of the prince and princess, and naturally there were many families whose relatives had been convicted, and wanted to come in to intercede.

In fact, Rongguo Mansion also had two old cases of champerty lawsuits found out, but they were not conspicuous in this big investigation, they were just sesame mung beans.

The emperor is now like a hunk who fell into a melon field, only caring about eating a big watermelon, and doesn't care about dealing with this matter.However, Jia Amnesty was still frightened to death, and only reported that he was disabled and unable to stand up. He directly escaped from his shell and gave Jia Lian the title and unexplained crimes.

Jia Lian was speechless and choked, and quickly corrected his attitude of admitting his mistake. Without the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple having to bother, he explained clearly, and expressed his willingness to make up for the victims of the two lawsuits tenfold, and pay money and land.

The Ministry of Punishment reported it according to "first-time official, ignorant of official management, deceived by subordinates, and demoted to two levels".

Instead, the emperor took Jia Lian as an example, instructing the court officials to be lenient and strict when they confessed, and if they had such a heart to repent and make amends, and made no serious mistakes, they would be punished lightly.Then Jia Lian was only reduced by one level, and became the fifth rank again, so the matter was lightly let go, and he was allowed to inherit Jia Amnesty's title.

There was such an example first, there were officials who voluntarily surrendered to Dali Temple, and then there were even two or five sons who, fearing that they would hurt themselves, voluntarily betrayed the crimes of their clansmen.

Of course these are all for later.

--

It is only said that when the family members enter the palace the next day, they will naturally come to visit the Queen Mother and the Crown Princess.

The Empress Dowager has been worried since yesterday that someone came to her crying and begging for mercy. Today, she saw that several edicts even brought several handkerchiefs, and she made it clear that she would kneel down and start crying, so she simply said directly: "I know it too, and you are worried about it." Your own family, mother's family or relatives. It's just that the harem is not allowed to participate in politics. If you want to talk about this palace and the crown princess today, you have to think about it. This palace doesn't know anything about the previous court. If you ask yourself to be wronged, I will convey this to the emperor for you, and ask him to order the Ministry of Punishments to retry."

The following edicts were not as happy as they had time to resume operations, so the Queen Mother continued with a cold face: "It's just that important officials in the court don't deserve to be tired like this. I will put the words here now. Whenever you ask, I will ask for it." Your Majesty re-trials, if it turns out that you are really innocent, that's fine, but if you are really guilty, I will ask the Emperor to deal with the crime more severely! So if you want something, you have to think about it!"

Then he turned around and told Daiyu: "The same is true for the crown princess. If someone begs you, tell the crown prince and ask him to check if there are any unjust, false or wrong cases. Don't wrong the good people. But if there are people who are clearly guilty, but still don't know how to repent On the contrary, idiots who waste the manpower of the court should be fined more."

Daiyu got up and answered.

For a moment, the orders were silent like cicadas, and they squeezed their veils tightly and dared not speak again.

So when Daiyu returned to Chonghua Palace, there were many people who came to test her, but none of them really dared to kneel down and cry.They all looked at Daiyu with eager eyes like 'Princess, we will keep everything in silence'.

After seeing them off, Daiyu invited Jia Min and Wang Xifeng who were waiting in the side hall.

As soon as Sister Feng met her, she saluted first and said, "Princess Concubine, my wife will never dare to do anything against the law of the country." Daiyu saw that she looked a little haggard, so she knew that these days must be difficult for Sister Feng.

Those two cases of champerty lawsuits were all done by her in the past.

Fortunately, Jia Min ordered that there are still a few things that have been wiped out long ago, and the loan and other things have even been canceled and they dare not touch their hands again.

If it is said that Sister Feng still felt sorry for the extra money in the past, after this incident, she was really frightened.

If she really lost her ancestor's official position because she wanted to get money, who will her children rely on in the future.

Daiyu stretched out her hand to help her up, and Sister Feng's eyes were full of tears: "Thanks to the empress, the Ministry is willing to let go, and the emperor is willing to show mercy, otherwise I would have no face to meet my ancestors."

After Moran Xiaoluo helped Sister Feng to wash her hair, Jia Min said: "I can't blame her for being afraid. Wang Ziteng has also found out a lot of things. Although it won't be a total defeat, it is definitely not as good as before." Naturally, my natal family should be terrified.

But Daiyu said softly: "Mother advised Sister Feng in private, you don't have to be sad, but you should be happy! The crown prince once told me that it's good to make trouble at this time. No matter how angry the emperor is, there is room for him to turn around and he won't die. If it continues like this It's been unbearable for a few years..." Jia Min nodded without her daughter finishing her sentence.

Indeed, if you continue to do evil like this, and wait for the emperor to die, the emperor will personally settle the account, but there will be no such good thing as today's deprivation of titles and officials, but everyone should be beheaded according to the law, exiled exile.Today, the Taishanghuang cooks, and these families can still survive by relying on the old love of their ancestors.

At the same time, Xin Hongcheng was standing outside with King Ruijun, waiting for the emperor to call.

As the source of evil, King Rui was demoted of his title no matter how much he cried.So for the past two days, with red and swollen eyes, he wandered outside Mingzheng Palace, hoping that the emperor would see his tearful eyes and reset him.

It annoyed the emperor even more, so he avoided seeing him.

Poor Xin Hongcheng was entangled by this uncle Wang, and the emperor refused to see him, so he asked Qin Wu to go out and tell him to send King Rui away before returning.

King Ruijun said that he would never leave the palace unless he became a prince, and then stood there like a dragon pillar in front of the palace, refusing to leave.

Xin Hongcheng had no choice but to stand with him outside, and after chatting for a while, he suddenly asked, "Is Mrs. Zhen not in good health?"

King Rui was startled, and said after a long while: "Little Chengzi, how did you know? The Zhen family is like an iron bucket."

Looking at the hot sunshine, he simply told the truth directly: "Yes, my grandmother's body is going to die. Entering the palace for a banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival is to lift the spirit with ginseng soup in advance. The same is true when visiting the palace every day. .”

"After all, I'm over eighty years old. Even if I don't have any serious illness, it's time to run out of fuel." King Rui's tone has never been so dark and heavy: "Last month, my grandmother called me to the mansion. , said a lot of crimes against the Zhen family—it's not that she doesn't know, but there are countless clansmen and slaves, and they can't be saved. She grabbed my hand and told me to let me keep the Zhen family no matter what, otherwise she would die You can't rest in peace."

Xin Hongcheng listened quietly.

"I'm a person who loves to have fun by nature. I'm just a prince who everyone hates and hides. I can't keep the Zhen family. If that's the case, why not make trouble while the father is still there and let them die decently. Maybe I can leave a whole body, and it can be regarded as my help to my mother's family."

Xin Hongcheng cupped his hands: "Uncle Rui Wang chose a good time, which is admirable."

Although King Rui said something about leaving a whole body, Xin Hongcheng already understood that this time, the strong man of the Zhen family would surely pass through danger by breaking his wrist.

Mrs. Zhen is alive now, which is the gold medal for the Zhen family to avoid death.Even if the Zhen family smashed the sky, the Supreme Emperor will not kill them, they will always be safe, at most they will be dismissed from office.And in a few months or more, Mrs. Zhen really couldn't bear to pass away. Presumably the Supreme Emperor must be distraught. Reinstatement is more consoling.

What's more, in this dynasty, one crime is not punished twice. The Zhen family was exposed and punished this time. When the Supreme Emperor dies in the future, it will be difficult for the emperor to settle the score again.

King Rui smiled and looked back at Xin Hongcheng: "Little Chengzi, isn't your companion Jian Anbo still collecting criminal evidence of the Zhen family in Jiangnan? Don't worry, no one in the Zhen family will embarrass him, and he will not be missing arms or legs. I will be able to return to Beijing with the criminal evidence of many families in the south of the Yangtze River.”

"After this incident, he probably doesn't have to go back to the south of the Yangtze River. He can stay in Beijing to help you. It will be easier for you as a prince, and you won't have to deal with everything by yourself in the Six Departments. You don't have a confidant. Isn't that The best of both worlds?"
