Chapter 39

Although Emperor Qianhua's temperament is not as kind and charitable as the previous emperor's, since he ascended the throne, he has treated the meritorious officials and honorable clan with the same kindness and tolerance as the previous emperor's time. Often the courtiers who made mistakes, as long as they did not commit heinous crimes, would at most be reprimanded verbally , Rarely use the imperial staff to punish civil and military officials.

However, during the reign of Emperor Qianhua, there was one thing that was quite different from the previous emperor's actions. Whenever it touched the country's laws and regulations, disregarded the national economy and people's livelihood, and caused complaints from the people, he would never be merciful when dealing with criminals.

All the courtiers in the Golden Luan Hall faintly felt that the Ninth Five-Year Lord should behave in this way, but after careful consideration, since Emperor Qianhua ascended to the great treasure, he has never been furious and ordered to investigate any official.

Thinking deeply, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the truth in the emperor's actions, there are many treacherous things, the more sweating on the body, the turbulent waves in the heart, it is difficult to stop the complicated thoughts.

Li Sanshun's incident was reported to the Ministry of Household Doctor, Mr. Zhang was escorted and ransacked his home and beheaded overnight. In less than a day, Qi Zhan's resolute and resolute tactics made the officials involved in the case even have no time to react, and the bloody storm was settled. .

Looking at the empty dragon chair, some of the people present were worried, for fear of harming themselves, some were pale and seemed to have nothing to do with them, some had gleams of thoughtfulness in their eyes, some were eager to try, and there was a chance to threaten them The stance of private revenge is to make up for some people who are not pleasing to the eye. Even if it does not hurt the muscles and bones, some people will vomit three liters of blood, which will make life difficult.

The Hubu group had a very ugly face, worried whether they would be able to retreat unscathed, and waited dejectedly for the emperor to go to the morning court, while the inspector Yushitai's officials and censors looked excitedly looking forward to the emperor's early morning court, all looking forward to it, stretching their heads The long neck looked towards the direction of the golden throne.

After a long wait, the long-awaited emperor finally stepped into the hall with his hands behind his back when all the officials looked forward to seeing through the autumn water.

All the ministers and workers knelt down to worship, and the deafening sound of shouting long live almost shook the top of the Golden Luan Palace to the ground.

As usual, Qi Zhan sat on a high throne and looked down upon all the civil and military officials present.

The deeply thoughtful official suddenly found that the emperor who had been on the throne for less than three years after only one night had become more restrained and calm, without anger and prestige.

Curious people who are restless and curious can't help but secretly raise their heads, secretly peeping at the stern-faced young emperor, his body froze, and his mouth was wide open, Qi Zhan's eyes swept across, the peeper was clever, lowered his head and lowered his eyes, thinking Shocked, why the noble emperor's lips were bright red, and there was a striking scar.

The fire of gossip ignited in my heart, and it burned more and more intensely. I couldn't help but secretly speculate whether it was because the beauty in the harem was fierce and wild, and accidentally bit the dragon's lip when he was in love, leaving marks, or the emperor had a special hobby, like fierce and brutal All in all, I was shocked that the usually cold emperor had such a passionate side.

He was secretly delighted, and finally got a glimpse of a peculiar hobby of the emperor, when suddenly a cold and solemn voice came from his ear, the volume was not as loud as it was, but it made everyone present terrified: "Zhou Binghai, as the second-rank household member of the imperial court, you Shang Shu, who is in charge of the country's financial power, but knows nothing about the crimes committed by his subordinate Zhang Zhicong. Do you still remember why I promoted you and handed over the national bank to you to manage?"

Since Emperor Qianhua ascended the throne, Empress Zhou has soared into the sky, from the noble princess of the county to the most honorable woman in the world. As an upstart, he has a noble and prominent family, and his power and glory are added to him. Although he is suspected of having a foreign relative, which makes Qingliu's powerful and powerful family feel ashamed, it really makes many people jealous and grit their teeth. They only hate that they have not given birth to a good daughter. Great fortune.

At the beginning, the emperor issued an order to promote Zhou Binghai to the post of Minister of the Ministry of Households, and he only said one sentence to him: "The treasury is related to the livelihood of the country, and I don't trust others to manage it. You are the queen's father and the head of the country. I entrust the treasury to you to take care of, my heart is at peace, I hope you will not live up to my expectations, let alone let those who feel that you are not worthy of the heavy responsibility look down on me, let me bear the reputation of nepotism and favoritism."

Thinking of this, Zhou Binghai's face became more embarrassing and indignant, his forehead pressed tightly to the ground, and he choked up: "I owe your Majesty's great trust, and I have committed the crime of negligence...".Zhou Binghai couldn't help but panic after being reprimanded head-to-head. He couldn't get away with Zhang Zhicong's matter to such an extent.

He knew very well in his heart that the honor and disgrace of his family could only be gained or lost based on the emperor's words.

Qi Zhan raised his hand to cut off his pleading words: "The supervision is not strict, the recognition of people is not clear, and the misbehavior of the subordinates cannot be discovered in time to effectively prevent problems before they happen. I think you are a first-time offender. I punish you with one year's salary as an example to others, do you have any objection?"

Leaning on the dragon chair, with his hands on the armrest of the dragon's head, he raised his eyebrows and squinted at everyone.

The emperor did not lose his temper, and sternly denounced the crime of the member of the household department, Wailang, nor did he say anything about Li Sanshun's matter, nor did he hold on to the household affairs. He took Zhou Binghai, the head of the state, and incidentally pointed out what crime Zhang Zhicong had committed, and his actions of dismissing and beating him stopped the dissatisfied officials and censors from fanning the flames and adding insult to injury.

To spy on the traces of the emperor, beheading and ransacking the family was a serious crime in all dynasties. Although the emperor beheaded Zhang Zhicong and confiscated his family property, he did not harm his family. The softness, all sent back to their original places, is already a mighty grace of the emperor, and they are extra lenient.

The emperor punished him like this, could it be that you can make the emperor change the order day and night, and take back what he said? At this time, you are so desperate to come forward and count Zhang Zhicong's numerous crimes, isn't it against your majesty? , the brain is also good, naturally I will not be foolish to go against the emperor's will at this time, and play the impeachment, otherwise the good name will not be left at that time, but I will bear the notoriety of being vicious and murderous, and the gains outweigh the losses. I won't do it.

Besides, if Zhou Binghai is punished, he will lose face to the emperor. After all, he is the emperor's dignified head of state. To punish him is to smear the emperor's face. The fire has subsided quite a bit, the head of the country has been slapped in the face, and the emperor's face has also been wiped out, so there is nothing to be reconciled to.

Could it be that you are bigger than the head of the country? Could it be that you still want to glare at the emperor?

Seeing the emperor's actions, the officials of the household department were even more ashamed and ashamed, and wept uncontrollably. The emperor was so benevolent that he didn't go to the bottom of it. It was an extraordinarily merciful act to wipe out all the people connected with the household department. He will not expose his scars, and send up his little face to be trampled by other departments that are watching the show.

The meaning of the emperor's words was obvious, he was slapped in the face, scolded and punished, and he gave an explanation to all the courtiers who complained.What's more, Zhang Zhicong's head fell to the ground, his family was ruined, and there is no way to investigate his death without proof.As for what kind of confession the emperor got yesterday, no one knows.Those who can't get rid of their ties, at this time, only Anqing can save a little life, keep the black hat on his head, and not fall into the fate like Zhang Zhicong, causing the catastrophe of copying his family and killing him.

As for the truth of the matter, no one dared to think about it. Just relying on a woman's words, whether they listened to one side or believed it, and whether they wanted to commit a crime. They dared not question the emperor. , under the premise that everything has become a conclusion, it is futile to figure out these things. Everyone has gone to the bottom of the world, and there is no way to get the King of Hades to send them back.

The water in the capital has always been bottomless, and the forces are intricate and intertwined. One hair will affect the whole body. Since the emperor will not pursue it, it is obvious that he does not want to further expand the situation and affect everyone. This is the end of the story. It's over.

The emperor voted for peaches, and all civil and military officials naturally rewarded them with Qiongyao.

No matter whether there is something hidden in the case or the emperor has other ideas, he understands the case so hastily. No matter what the officials think in private, on the surface these people are trembling and tearful today. Smoothly, the time to end the court meeting was half an hour earlier than before.

Sending off the emperor's guard of honor in fear and fear, all civil and military officials wiped the sweat from their foreheads one after another, and the shock and fear in their hearts reached their peak at this moment.

Zhou Binghai led the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, big and small, and walked out in silence, regardless of how others looked at and laughed at them.

The fists hidden under the sleeves were clenched tightly, which showed that his mood was not much better.

Today, due to the unpredictable behavior of the emperor, he cut the mess quickly and didn't give all the ministers a chance to fight back. He reprimanded him indifferently and fined him a year's salary as punishment. However, the money is not important to Zhou Binghai. What matters is the will of the Sacred Heart.

If you want to firmly keep this head and the glory in your hand, you must not leave any excuses to fall into the mouth, so as not to cause someone to bring up old accounts in the future.

Violence flashed in his eyes, Zhang Zhicong was truly despicable, in order to save his family, he left a way out, the most urgent task now is to eradicate the roots and restore the Sacred Heart.

Zhou Binghai felt resentful in his heart, and was planning how to send Zhang Zhicong's family to Huangquan to be his company.

Qi Zhan is in a very happy mood at this time, the net has already been cast down, anyway, the capital city is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, the journey is long and difficult, is it calm or undercurrent?

The corner of Qi Zhan's mouth curled up in a sarcasm, hoping that some people would not be so stupid as to not understand the simple truth of leading a snake out of the cave.
