"Since Daxing ordered to intercede for this slave, Weichen also interceded for the woman, she was just following orders, if she didn't put away the two letters, I'm afraid that this matter is still a mystery, Weichen begged the king to treat her lightly, she can't help herself, and she is the key person to find out about this matter. Ask the king for permission. Long Yan knelt down as he spoke.

"This king is by no means a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, although the two of them have mistakes, fortunately, the merits outweigh the faults, and even if the merits are atonement, let them leave the house on their own and seek their own way out. He glanced at the panicked two people on the ground.

A man and a woman in the temple immediately kowtowed, thanked him, and withdrew.

Taste Qiang laughed a few times and said: "Since the truth of this matter has been found out by the Great Order, this king will promote you to the right minister as promised before." ”

"Your Majesty, you can't do it. Zhuang Hongbo hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a panic.

"Why can't you do it, this king is hard to chase after his words, and the talent and ability of the great order should be subject to this heavy responsibility, do you want to let this king break his word to the people of the world?"

"Wechen doesn't dare, but Wechen is stupid by nature, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this big responsibility. Zhuang Hong said modestly.

"To be too modest is to be proud, are you going to disobey the will of this king?" said with a smile.

In fact, this example of investigating the case is unique in this Dadian court, so Zhuang Hongbo was a little surprised, I don't know what to do, if he agrees, this court is two Zhuang Xiang, or brothers, this is the first thing in ancient and modern times, he is not sure of the mind of tasting Qiang, and he does not dare to agree rashly.

He thought for a while and responded: "Wechen doesn't dare, Wechen is afraid, and I ask the king to withdraw his will." ”

"How can this be done, this king has promised in public before, of course it must be fulfilled today, otherwise how will this king gain a foothold in the world in the future? Isn't it to let the people of the world laugh at this king's words and have no faith? If it were someone else, he would have been happy and thankful, you are good, you don't want to refuse, is it not possible to look down on the position of this right minister?"

"Weichen doesn't dare!" Zhuang Hongbo said again.

"What else do you dare not do! You have already refused twice, you are so stubborn, making the face of this king ugly, you still respond. He still smiled.

Ji Longyan said: "If others ask for it and can't ask for it, why should the order be resisted?"

Everyone echoed, and Zhuang Hong pardoned: "Why bother to push back and obstruct the big order, they are all doing things for the king, it doesn't matter what position you have, if you resist the order, you don't know how to lift, you want to make the king laugh at it?" he said in a loud voice, but the people around him heard it clearly.

Zhuang Hongbo originally scrupled about Zhuang Hongpardon, afraid that he would have any ideas, hearing him say this, he knelt down to thank him, and immediately rewarded him as the right minister of Dadian.

For a while, the congratulatory voice in the hall rang out, and the eyebrows were smiling.

His voice became quieter, and he said, "Your Majesty, how do you resettle those displaced people in Yongzhou? Their houses have all been destroyed, and the crops in the fields have also been flooded, so it can be said that there is nothing left, and the number of people affected by the disaster is more than 10,000. What should I do?"

Yu Qiang sighed lightly and said: "Alas, this king thought that as long as the water conservancy facilities were strengthened, they would be able to survive the rainy season safely, but I didn't expect..."

Zhuang Hongyu suddenly realized that there was something else implicit in Taste Qiang's words, although Taste Qiang did not hold him accountable for the unfavorable supervision, he could not pretend to be stupid.

He hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, it's all to blame for the ineffective supervision of the micro-ministers, so that the people have been killed and injured countless times, and the micro-ministers are to blame, so I implore the king to punish them!"

Everyone listened to his words, all sighed, he was telling the truth, he ordered him to go to Yongzhou to supervise, it was to let him step up water conservancy supervision, although the torrential rain washed away those rivers and ditches, but in the final analysis, it was the reason why Zhuang Hong's amnesty inspector was not careful.

The life and death of the people have more or less something to do with him, and the people have complaints against him, and if he does not cure his crimes, it is difficult to explain to the people, and if he treats his crimes, it is a little inappropriate, after all, it is a natural disaster.

Ji Longyan raised his head and stood straight, his eyes did not squint, and he stood straight, but his eyes glanced at Yang Taishi on the right.

Yang Taishi said: "Your Majesty, although natural disasters and people are worry-free, but the people are angry and unbearable, if the king does not deal with Zhuang Xiang, I am afraid that the people will complain, and the people's hearts will be uneasy, mainly because many people died this time, if the king does not pursue anyone, it is really unreasonable." Yongzhou Assassin Shi is dead, and there is no other person responsible, this responsibility can only fall on Zhuang Xiang. It would be good for the king to punish him appropriately. ”

Zhuang Hongpardon said again: "Your Majesty, what Yang Taishi said is that Weichen is guilty, and I implore the king to punish him." ”

Taste Qiang is a little embarrassed: "Zhong Aiqing thinks this matter should be handled?"

Only then did Long Yan bow down and salute: "Your Majesty, Zhuang Xiang is guilty of negligence, which can be big or small, but after all, it is a natural disaster, and it is good for the king to punish him slightly." ”

Zhuang Hongbo glanced at the dragon and said, "Your Majesty, what the people need most now is money and food, why don't you punish your younger brother for two years and donate it to the people." ”

Zhuang Hongyu immediately answered: "Weichen is willing to accept the punishment. ”

Taste Qiang sighed coldly in his heart, but said warmly on his face: "Forget about this Yulu, the imperial court has already allocated money and food for disaster relief, so let's temporarily demotion Prime Minister Zhuang for half a year, and temporarily serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." When this is over, how about the king reinstate you immediately?"

This decision made everyone present in an uproar, this punishment is too hasty, is there any deep meaning in the rise and fall, why is it half a year?

Now that he has spoken, naturally no one dares to object, and they all said: "The king is wise." ”

Long Yan also grinned and agreed.

This incident can be regarded as an end.

Two days later, Jiang Yuji and Ji Longyan appeared in a tea shop.

Jiang Yuji pursed his lips and smiled: "Zhao Wang must not be blind to death, and he doesn't even know how he provoked the sin." ”

"Yes, however, he did not refute in the court at that time, but calmed down after being excited, he must have thought clearly, if he does not die, then his family will be in trouble, and it is better for him to die alone than to die as a family. Long Yan took a sip of tea.

"Do you think he knows that we are plotting against him behind our backs?"

"I shouldn't guess, after all, the clues we left all point to him, Zhuang Hongbo didn't suspect it, thinking that it was Zhao Wang's doing. Zhao Wang naturally didn't know that we were doing it behind our backs. He put down the teacup in his hand and said.

"It's only to blame him for provoking Jiang Wang's more and more discord between you and me, otherwise I wouldn't have tried the Zhuang clan with him. ”

"What else do the dead people have to think, this time fortunately, the king listened to your words, belittled Zhuang Hong, and raised Zhuang Hongbo, and then your plan can be let go and done. ”

"Yes, these Zhuang brothers, one high and one low, will not be willing to succumb to his brother according to Zhuang Hongyu's temperament, and some will see it in the future. ”

"What are you going to do next?"

"Naturally, it is a good idea to tie in with the group of concubines in the harem. Jiang Yuji spoke, and her eyes were a little more ruthless.
