The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

When King Bei Chen first heard that his concubine's father was suspected of murder, he didn't take it to heart at all. The family members of the concubine's room were not considered relatives, so what did life or death have to do with him?

When the concubine came to him, the king of Beichen didn't respond, and said with awe-inspiring righteousness: "Since he dares to hire murderers, he must be prepared to pay the price, and he can do whatever he wants. Does this king still want to kill people?" Begging for your father?"

"My lord, my concubine's father really didn't kill anyone. He was wronged. My cousin has been in poor health since he was a child and has a bad temper. Who knows how he offended the gangsters on the street and was prevaricated to death. I Father has suffered an innocent disaster, my lord, even if you don’t miss the concubine’s body, for the sake of the child in the concubine’s belly, please save my father!”

"Child?" Beichen Wang finally cared. He could not give the face of his concubine, but he could still give the face of his own flesh and blood. What's more, he asked his followers to inquire about the case and learned that he was just hiring people to make trouble, but those gangsters He accidentally killed someone, if you really want to say it, you really can't blame them all.

"Go, send a message to Shuntian Mansion, just say that this person is the king's family member, let him deal with it lightly."

"Yes." The entourage also thought it was just a matter of one sentence. Looking at Quan Chang'an, his own prince is also a high-ranking figure, and it's just one person who died. Could it be that it can't be done?

The governor of Shuntian government hesitated when he got the words, there was really no need to offend the king of Beichen, besides, it was nothing more than criminal detention, so he asked people to change the confessions of those gangsters, saying that they saw the orphan, widow, and mother alone. That's why he came to ask for money, and because of the conflict, he accidentally killed someone.

As soon as the confession was changed, Fu Yin immediately sentenced the gangster who accidentally killed the man to death, and the others were also sentenced to exile, and the principal culprit was not mentioned.

The case file was sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not investigate deeply. There are countless cases of hooligans killing people like this every year. Although the sentences are a bit severe, they are punished for several crimes. These are all people with criminal records. Exile is exile. So it was stamped and sent to the cabinet.

Naturally, the cabinet would not care about a small accidental homicide case, and reported it to the emperor according to the usual practice, but most of the time the emperor would not care about such trivial matters, and basically handed it down as it was sent up.

But what a coincidence, Zhao Zhang read it this time, and even found out the case and read it carefully. When he saw the result, he frowned severely, and told Du Fucheng: "Xuan Shun Tianfu Yin enters the palace to see me!"

Du Fucheng bowed his head and withdrew, and sent a little eunuch to call someone, his words were a bit blunt, and the little eunuch knew that this time Shuntian Fu Yin was going to be in trouble.

These slaves, what they need most is to figure out the holy will. In a situation like this, they have to put aside a little relationship with Shuntian Fu Yin, so as not to be implicated.

The governor of Shuntian hurriedly entered the palace, feeling uneasy. An official of his level would not be summoned by the emperor alone if there were no major events. I wondered if I had made a big mistake recently, and I couldn't figure it out after thinking all the way.

"My humble minister sees the emperor, long live long live long live!"

Zhao Zhang threw the case file at his feet, and asked coldly, "Read this case file from beginning to end."

This order was inexplicable, but Lord Fu Yin could only obey it. After he finished reading, he realized that maybe he had been stabbed to the emperor by someone who tampered with his confession without permission. This matter is not a big deal.

"Does it make a mistake?" the emperor asked.

"Yes, I was wrong. I shouldn't have changed my confession in order to save the face of King Beichen. I'm guilty!"

"Oh? Zhao Yin asked you to do this?"

Mr. Fu Yin was terrified. If the answer was yes, he would definitely blame himself if he turned around and let King Bei Chen know. But if he didn’t tell the truth, he would be charged with the crime of abuse of power.

Zhao Zhang didn't urge him, and continued to read the memorial that he hadn't finished before. After waiting for a long time, the sweat on Mr. Fu Yin's head dripped on the ground. There was obviously no sound, but Mr. Fu Yin was startled and wiped it with his sleeve. Ba Khan replied with his forehead raised: "It is indeed the entourage of the palace who asked the minister to let the uncle of the Xu family go."

"It's the first time I've heard that a prince can interfere with the Shuntian Mansion's judgment. What reason does he let you release? He lets you go and you let him go? Is this how you, the governor of Shuntian Mansion, have been? How many misjudged cases are there?" Zhao Zhang raised his voice higher and higher, the voice piercing into people's hearts, Mr. Fu Yin couldn't even hold his hands, and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

"Your Majesty is clearly aware, my minister..."

"Needless to say, after you took office, I will sort out all the case files, and I will let the Metropolitan Procuratorate verify them. If there is a wrong case, you will be the governor of the government." Zhao Zhang waved his hand, and two eunuchs stepped forward and dragged Shun Tianfu Yin dragged out of the imperial study.

Zhao Zhang may not be ignorant of the difficulties of Shuntian Fu Yin, but since he is in this position, he should make a choice. He wants to please the superior but also wants to have a future. How can such a good thing come about?What's more, this incident itself shows that Shuntian Fu Yin judged the case as he wanted, otherwise it would be impossible to change his confession so confidently.

"Your Majesty, there is a secret letter from Commander Lu."

"Present it." Zhao Zhang put down the memorial, took the note from Du Fucheng, rubbed it open, and saw a few lines of small characters on the paper.

He read it carefully, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Seeing this, Du Fucheng hurriedly asked, "But Commander Lu has good news?"

Zhao Zhang didn't hide anything from him, and nodded: "King Tusi was assassinated at the end of last month. It is said that there were many eyewitnesses who confirmed that the murderer was the follower of King Tusi's third son. King Tusi had five sons in total. The third son is also the eldest prince. The two were originally fighting to the death. After this incident, the third prince would have no chance, but he didn't let him go. He simply killed the four brothers in one fell swoop. Now he is being captured by the chieftain's eldest son. General Meng Qi led his troops in pursuit."

"In this way, the whole army of the king's line will be wiped out?" Du Fucheng understood Zhao Zhang's thoughts. It's hard to say whether there is Commander Lu interfering in it, but the outcome must be beneficial to the court.

"Meng Qi can be recruited. I will issue an imperial decree to appoint him an official, and let him comfort the whole family of chieftains. Then he will promote a few good civil servants to join hands with him to rule. It depends on Meng Qi how far he can go. ability."

"But your majesty, aren't you afraid that Meng Qi will become the second chieftain king? As long as he raises his arms and shouts, the natives will naturally recognize him as king."

Zhao Zhang's eyes were cold, and he snorted coldly: "It depends on whether he is destined to sit on the throne firmly. If one fails, we can change it. I am not short of patience."

"The emperor is wise, can Commander Lu come back?"

"It's time to come back. The current Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is old and ineffective. If he hadn't made a big mistake, I would have wanted to replace him a long time ago. It just so happens that Lu Jian is good at solving cases, so I plan to transfer him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. "

Du Fucheng was secretly shocked. He didn't expect the emperor to have such a plan, but the emperor told himself such a big event. He felt a little grateful in his heart. Once Lu Jian became the minister of the Ministry of punishment, Ling Jingyun would be the commander of Jinyiwei It's in the bag.

And the emperor might not have transferred Lu Jian to the Ministry of Punishment for the sake of Ling Jing Yunteng's position.

The courtiers soon received the news from the Southwest. They heard that there was not a single descendant left in the Tusi royal family, and a chill surged in their hearts.

It is not difficult for officials with a little brain to guess that the emperor contributed to the Southwest Rebellion, but before, everyone could not guess the emperor's intentions, only thinking that he wanted to let the chieftain fight among himself, and finally end it in one pot, but as far as the current Judging from the situation, I am afraid that it is about to reach the point where the pot is over.

But the result was beyond their expectations. At the end of the court meeting, General Manager Du read out an imperial decree that he wanted to set up the Yunnan Province in the southwest and establish a pacification department. Meng Qi was bestowed with the false title of "Loyal Boss". Just by hearing this name, one can know the emperor's requirements for this Meng Qi.

Although many officials disapproved of the emperor conferring titles on foreign races, they would not refute the emperor because of this, considering that it was just a false name and far away in the sky.

"The emperor is wise." Xu Shoufu was the first to stand up and agree with this matter. After all, the emperor first informed the cabinet before drafting the edict, and he had no reason to object.

This matter did not encounter any resistance. Zhao Zhang was not surprised at all. After four years in power, he basically understood the courtiers' thinking. As long as their interests were not involved, many government orders could be issued and implemented quickly.

But how many decrees do not really involve their interests?Since Zhao Zhang came to power, he has been forced to be cruel, decisive and cold-blooded. If he had shown a little bit of kindness and cowardice, then these ministers would not have the faces they have today.

"Yang Zhi, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, abused his power, hastily judged the case, and changed the criminal's confession without authorization to cover up the murderer. I decided to dismiss Yang Zhi from the official position of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture and demote him to a commoner. The position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Punishment, will be appointed by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials as appropriate, and it will not be too late to discuss the specific candidate." As soon as Zhao Zhang finished speaking, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is ordering to investigate Yang Zhi's past case files, and even Jin Yiwei has sent people to help. With this kind of investigation, no one can guarantee that he is innocent, so Yang Zhi's downfall is inevitable.

But no one thought that the person who took over the position of Fuyin would be Cao Ruiwen. Cao Ruiwen is now a member of the Ministry of Punishment. He has been in office for less than two years. Grade.

But Cao Ruiwen is the son of Marquis Zhenyuan after all, and his background is more than a little bit deeper than that of Shen Jia. Even for the sake of Marquis Zhenyuan, everyone would not refute the emperor face to face, but they thought in their hearts that the family of Marquis Zhenyuan might be much more brilliant. It's been ten years, but I don't know whether the future emperor will regret today's decision.

If the Cao family reaches that day, wouldn't it be the next Pu family?
