Chapter Thirty-Six: Keeping the Score Solid and Not Invading
"It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous! It's ridiculous!" Chen Jingxing slapped the table, went around to the front, picked up the confession and put it into Lu Yuanze's arms, and reprimanded: "Lu Shilang! Lu Gongzi! Lord Lu! Look at this confession! What explanation can you give me?"
Lu Yuanze quickly glanced at the confession on the paper, and bowed down again: "Your Majesty is wise!
Chen Jingxing said: "Do you admit that you secretly sent those three people into the palace?"
"Yes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Why did you send someone to sneak into the palace and quietly transport away the corpse buried in the ruins of Guanghe Palace?
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister stumbled upon those two corpses a few days ago......"
Lu Yuanze was just about to reply, but Lu Yuanzhi signaled him to stop, and then said: "Your Majesty, let the old minister play, it is indeed inappropriate for Xiao'er to do this, but he does not intend to deceive the king, if you want to conceal it, Xiao'er does not want to hide it from His Majesty, but wants to hide it from the people of the world! After all, those two palace people who did dirty things Chen Corpse Sacrifice Tianbao Hall are really defiling the gods and insulting the royal dignity!" Xiao'er also took this into account before making this decision, wanting to transfer the corpse first, hide it from others' eyes and ears, and then show His Majesty, who wants to make such a situation now, it is really a sin! Please punish Your Majesty!"
After listening to Lu Yuanzhi's defense, his anger subsided a little, and he asked, "Xiangguo knew the inside story before?"
He replied: "No, Xiao'er didn't disclose this matter to anyone in order to prevent leakage, and even Lao Chen didn't know about it before the incident. ”
Chen Jingxing turned around and nodded: "Indeed, this fact is disgraceful, if Lu Shilang is indeed to avoid other people's tongues, rather than having other plans, it is understandable." ”
Lu Yuanze breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his head: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is forgiving, and Weichen is loyal, and there is nothing else to think about!"
Wei Kun and the second lieutenant in the back tightened their hearts, expecting that this Lu Yuanzhi father and son were relatives of the emperor, looking at this situation, I am afraid that the blame will not fall on their heads, I am afraid that they will have to bear the guilt, the two of them secretly glanced at each other, and they both complained in their hearts.
Chen Jingxing asked the Lu family father and son to get up, looked at Lu Yuanze, and muttered: "However, this matter has been leaked, and it will be suspected by rumors, I'm afraid that the Heavenly Treasure Hall will have to choose another location......
"No!" Lu Yuanze almost lost his stability, his tone was agitated, he was glared at by Lu Yuanzhi, and hurriedly retracted it, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the location of Guanghe Palace now took Qin Tianjian three months to determine and choose, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a better location, and it will miss next year's Heaven Worship Ceremony, in fact, there is no need to spend a lot of time to relocate the location......"
"But this treasure hall fortification has suffered disasters, I'm afraid it's unlucky, right?" Chen Jingxing said worriedly.
Lu Yuanzhi said: "Your Majesty, Xiao'er means that although the treasure hall has suffered disasters, they are all man-made, and there is no conflict with the number of days. Just as cultivating to become a Buddha, you have to go through the calamity first, or natural disasters or man-made disasters, the temple is the first miracle of the Great Qi throughout the ages, this casting process will never be smooth, rather than re-selecting the site and starting from scratch, it is better to ascend the temple as an altar, you can pray for heaven and blessing, you can also eliminate disasters in the town, the altar is built, the gods are sheltered, and you will be able to protect the peace of the country and the people of Qi for thousands of generations!"
"Ascension to the altar is what to do?" Chen Jingxing asked with interest.
So Lu Yuanze played the matter of rebuilding the altar in detail, adding a lot of beautiful words, the father and son sang a song and a generous attitude, Chen Jingxing really appreciated it after listening to it, and approved this strategy on the spot, and gave the altar the name "Tianyi Altar", which means that heaven and man are one, heaven and earth are one, and the world is the first.
After saying this, after Chen Jingxing was happy, he remembered that the matter of Guanghe Palace was too strange, so he discussed the case with them.
Lu Yuanze glanced at Wei Chen, the servant of the Criminal Department next to him, and replied: "Your Majesty, before the Criminal Department decided that the pair of palace people cheated on someone and set fire to the Guanghe Palace, and now it is true that they died in the fire of the Guanghe Palace, so the previous verdict of the Criminal Department is not valid, and there must be someone else who committed the arson!"
Chen Jingxing immediately reprimanded the Criminal Department for not knowing the facts of the case and hastily deciding the case, and in a fit of anger, he issued a decree to remove him from his official position.
At this time, Wei Kun, who had already knelt until his legs were weak, had no choice but to bow down and kowtow to admit punishment: "Thank you, Lord Longen, be loyal to my emperor, God bless Daqi!"
He threw a look at the second lieutenant when he was forked out, meaning, man, so cherish yourself.
Sure enough, after dealing with the Criminal Department, it was the turn of the Imperial Forest Army who was responsible for guarding the safety of the palace, and now the Imperial Forest Army Governor was also led by King Jin Xuan, and this matter had nothing to do with him, so naturally he couldn't blame him, and only the second lieutenant was unlucky.
The second lieutenant played, when he sent someone to arrest the palace breaker tonight, in order to open the access door of the Guanghe Palace site, take out the key to the access door, and found that the two keys are not different, it turned out that when the construction was built before, the access door was guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, and they would hand over the key to the second lieutenant every day, and the second lieutenant also had another key, but now he found that the key given to him by the Royal Forest Army was not right, and it had been dropped, and the royal forest army who was responsible for guarding the access door was naturally the most suspicious, and he was most suspicious of one of the guards at that time, and now Yang Lixiao, who has disappeared。
Even if he started this incident, he could not be exempted, but made Chen Jingxing even more angry, and directly dismissed him from his position and demoted him to an ordinary Imperial Forest Army, specifically responsible for guarding the Tianyi Altar that was about to be rebuilt.
"After talking about the punishment, let's talk about the reward, in the final analysis, Lu Qing is meritorious, if the Tianyi Altar is built, it is a great merit, and it should be rewarded. Chen Jingxing said to Lu Yuanze.
The father and son of the Lu family were secretly happy in their hearts, they didn't want to be able to turn their mistakes into achievements like this, what was supposed to be a big disaster turned into a good thing, and the two knelt down to be rewarded.
At this time, a sudden sound came from outside the door, interrupting Chen Jingxing's words: "No! Your Majesty! Lu Shilang has done it, and he should not be rewarded!"
They turned around in surprise, but saw Queen Lu Yuanye hurriedly enter the imperial study, knelt down in front of Chen Jingxing and bowed: "Please forgive your majesty for the rudeness of the concubine!"
Chen Jingxing helped her up and said with pity: "Why is the queen here? If you don't have a good rest in the middle of the night, how can your illness be cured? Don't worry, I'm not trying to punish your brother, he's done a great job, and I'm going to reward him. ”
Lu Yuanye raised his hands to the center of his eyebrows, saluted respectfully, and said: "No, Your Majesty, thanks to Your Majesty's wrong love, the concubine and the father and younger brother are grateful, but the concubine has learned of the inside story of this matter, and sent someone to break into the palace to remove the corpse and conceal the holy hearing, even if it was intended to be for the sake of the royal family, and this move is very inappropriate, Yuan Ze acted rashly, and he lost the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, please Your Majesty to punish him! The concubine is her sister, and she is willing to punish her!" She knelt down again and pleaded guilty.
Only then did Lu Yuanze react, his back was cold, and he bowed down and kowtowed: "The minister is guilty! Please punish Your Majesty!"
Chen Jingxing wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the family, took Lu Yuanye's hand, and asked her to get up: "The queen's words are serious, Yuanze is young, and it is natural to be impetuous, it is too much to punish you together, but the queen reminded me that the rewards and punishments should indeed be clearer, in this way, read his merits, give ten pearls of the South China Sea, a crown of green jade pearls, one hundred taels of gold, punish his recklessness, punish the court staff twenty, and fine him for three months." ”
The father and son of the Lu family kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty is wise! Thank you Lord Longen! Loyal to my emperor! God bless Daqi!"
