Can you not get tired? After Lin Tian came to Xiangxiang Country, there were so many things at once, although Qinghan and Caiyu were responsible for monitoring and protecting Lin Tian, they were all involved in these things, and they had to run around for Lin Tian, they were about to go crazy.
Now that Lin Tian is going to prison, they can also take a good rest.
"Without the two of you with me, I'm relaxed now." Lin Tian smiled playfully, and then followed Shangshu Yuting of the Criminal Department to leave Beiyuan Mansion.
……
In the imperial study, Empress Shuixiang sat at the desk, holding the recital written by Lin Tian in her hand, sometimes nodding and sometimes smiling, and finally put down the recital, looked at the ministers standing in the imperial study, and said with a smile: "A few Aiqing, this time General Lin took down a group of bandits in Feihua Mountain without blood, you know, this group of bandits is helpless even if it is General Le Shitong, this time General Lin has really made a great contribution." ”
Taishi Wen Zhiruo stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is indeed a gratifying thing, but I heard that General Lin Tian did not kill the bandits in Feihua Village, but tied them all up and brought them back. ”
"Yes." Empress Shuixiang nodded and said: "General Lin wrote in the memora that the three Dong sisters of Feihua Mountain surrendered voluntarily, and he is responsible for bringing them back, as for how to deal with them...... What do you think? ”
"Your Majesty, since this gang of bandits has surrendered, let them change their ways. Now is the time to employ people, let them serve the imperial court. Wouldn't it be better? The right prime minister Shui Ya said: "Therefore, the minister advocates surrendering." ”
"Yes." The Empress nodded. said: "The royal sister's words are in harmony with my intentions. ”
"No." Wen Qi, the secretary of the ministry, hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the thieves of Feihua Mountain are scheming, even if they have surrendered, I am afraid that they will not accept the court from the heart, in order to avoid trouble, the minister feels that they should all be killed to prevent future troubles." ”
A rabble, if they remain in the army. It must be the black sheep, so it's better to kill it to deter other cottage bandits.
"Lord Wen, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?" Shangshu Rong Xiaorong of the Ministry of Rites sneered lightly, "The bandits of Feihua Mountain have surrendered, but you want to kill them, this is not in line with His Majesty's concept of governing the country, and if they are killed, who will dare to surrender to our Xiangxiang Country in the future?" It's a dead end anyway. It's better to fight to the death with us. ”
"Hmph." Wen Qi snorted, "Our Xiangxiang soldiers are strong and strong, and we are still worried about those bandits rebelling? As long as the army marches in, it is guaranteed to scare them away. So, we don't need to be soft on bandits. Seeing one kill the other, they kill until they dare not become bandits. ”
"Lord Wen. Isn't this an extreme approach of yours? Shui Ya looked at Wen Qi coldly and asked.
"I'm here for Her Majesty's majesty. For the sake of peace in the world, this must be done. Wen Qi snorted coldly.
Empress Shuixiang sighed slightly, she didn't approve of Wen Qi's approach at all, how could endless killing be exchanged for the stability of the country? Then he looked at Wen Zhiruo and asked, "Master, what is your opinion?" ”
Wen Zhiruo nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I agree with Prime Minister Shui Ya's opinion and advocate accepting the bandits of Feihua Mountain...... However, it is not possible to accept them all, and it is necessary to strictly review what these thieves have done in the past, such as how many people they have killed, how much property they have robbed, and then sentencing. ”
"It's a good idea to get through." Empress Shuixiang nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the other ministers and asked, "A few Aiqing, what do you think?" ”
"Her Majesty the Empress is wise." Several ministers fell to their knees and shouted.
"Okay, since that's the case, let the Criminal Department review the past of these bandits, and those who have committed minor crimes will be incorporated into the Royal Forest Army, and those who have committed serious crimes will not be spared." Empress Shuixiang ordered.
"Obey." Shangshu Yuting of the Criminal Department immediately kowtowed to receive the order.
Empress Shuixiang exhaled slightly, and then said, "The matter of the bandits is settled, we should deal with General Lin's matter." ”
This time, Wen Qi, the secretary of the ministry, stood up again and said sternly: "Your Majesty, Lin Tian mobilized the army privately, and he committed a capital crime, and he should be killed without forgiveness." ”
Empress Shuixiang was unhappy all of a sudden, and said in her heart, what is going on with this Wen Qi today? Why is there so much murderous aura on his body? Just now I wanted to kill all the thieves, and now I want to kill Lin Tian, what a crazy woman.
Shui Ya and Rong Xiaorong did not stand up to say good things for Lin Tian this time, because they knew very well in their hearts that Lin Tian would never be executed.
"Alright." Empress Shuixiang glanced at Wen Qi and said: "I have already made a decision about General Lin's affairs, although he privately mobilized the Imperial Forest Army to exterminate the bandits in Feihua Mountain, but he successfully exterminated the bandits, which can be regarded as a combination of merits and demerits...... I have already asked the Criminal Department to detain Lin Tian, and after ten days and half a month, I will release him and continue to serve as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army in Beiyuan. ”
Wen Qi crooked his mouth and said no more.
……
After leaving the imperial study, Wen Qi quickly caught up with Wen Zhiruo, who was walking in front, and asked in a low voice: "Eldest sister, did you instigate me to advocate killing Lin Tian in front of His Majesty?" But why didn't you speak? ”
Wen Zhiruo smiled faintly and said, "My silly second sister, of course I want to kill Lin Tian, but not this time...... I just want to use you to test how much you love Lin Tian, now I know it, even if Lin Tian automatically uses the Imperial Forest Army, His Majesty has complete trust in this man. ”
Wen Qi rolled her eyes depressedly, they were sisters, Wen Zhiruo actually called her like this, causing her to be so embarrassed and unbearable in front of the empress.
"Eldest sister, seeing that this man's power is getting bigger and bigger, we have to take corresponding measures." Wen Qi reminded in a low voice.
"Don't worry." A cold light flashed in Wen Zhiruo's eyes, "I will never let a man show off his might in our Xiangxiang Country." ”
"With your words, I am relieved." Wen Qi said with a smile.
Wen Zhiruo glanced at Wen Qi, sighed and said: "You should know that the descendants of the Wen family all rely on me to have today's power and status, but you should be careful with me in the future, don't stab Lou Zi, especially your good daughter Wen Liujing, don't make trouble for me everywhere....... embarrass me." ”
"When I go back, I will be strict with Liujing." Wen Qi's face was red and hot, and she also wanted to teach this unfilial daughter a good lesson, but she just couldn't do it.
