Chapter Forty-Eight: I Believe You Are a Ghost

Although many ministers had already guessed that the beating of these officials of the Ministry of Rites was related to him when Qin Ming was fine alone.

But at this moment, hearing Qin Ming's such an open and honest confession still shocked many people.

Especially the emperor, he knew that Qin Ming was going to cause some trouble on the last day of the Ministry of Rites.

However, he didn't expect that it would be a beating of the court officials, and three of them were still his bosses, and three were Lang Zhong of his rank, which was a bit confusing.

You must know that the matter of beating the court officials is still quite serious, even if Qin Ming is also an official, but this matter can still make a big fuss.

This is what this kid is called doing things? Once these officials of the Ministry of Rites sue Qin Ming, and other officials impeach Qin Ming, it will be difficult for the emperor to keep him.

The emperor couldn't help but wonder, isn't this kid a little crazy? Thinking that with the support of the emperor, it will be completely lawless?

Just thinking like this, I saw that the right prime minister suddenly came out of the queue and said angrily:

"Your Majesty, this son beat the court officials, and also beat several people, his crime cannot be pardoned, and please punish Your Majesty severely."

Shang Shu and the squire of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Industry stood up together and spoke in unison: "This matter is ridiculous, please punish Your Majesty severely!" ”

Many officials have come out one after another, including many military generals.

In the end, even the eldest princess glanced at Qin Ming angrily and said to the emperor:

"Father, Qin Ming ignored the law of the country and beat the officials, he simply didn't take the court seriously, and the sons and daughters also asked their father to punish him severely!"

The emperor glanced at the eldest princess, then looked at the second princess on the right, and said, "Shuang'er, you think so too?" ”

The second princess, dressed in a military general's white robe, was quite imposing, and said: "The minister also thinks that Qin Ming is at fault in this matter, but the minister thinks that it is better to ask the reason." ”

The second princess is not helping Qin Ming, after all, the Ministry of Rites is the person of the eldest princess, and the second princess is happy to see the people of the Ministry of Rites suffer.

The emperor retracted his gaze, thinking about how to help Qin Ming, and at the same time, he also asked Qin Ming:

"Qin Ming, why did you beat the officials of your Ministry of Rites?"

Qin Ming was very calm throughout the whole process, did the officials of the Ministry of Rites dare to sue him?

If you dare, you wouldn't have waited until this morning.

Besides, they were beaten for corruption, and they still dare to say it in the court?

Isn't this looking for death?

So, Qin Ming spoke: "Your Majesty, it's not interesting for me to talk about this, you directly ask Lord Shangshu and Lord Shilang about them, if they want to sue the lower officials, the lower officials will not say a word, and let them be punished!" ”

The emperor was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what the hell is going on with this kid? These people in the Ministry of Rites have been beaten by you, can they still sue you?

He was thinking so, but he heard the secretary of the Ministry of Rites come out with his waist on his hand and say:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Don't tell Qin Langzhong! ”

"What?"

The emperor was stunned, and more than a hundred officials in the entire hall were stunned.

They were all beaten, they were all beaten like this, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about it, and the people also knew about Shangshu's beating.

also knew that Qin Ming beat him, as long as the beaten official said a word, the emperor could only punish Qin Ming severely.

However, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu actually said that he would not tell it? Can you swallow this breath?

However, next, the two attendants also came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and the other two will not be sued!" ”

Then, among the three divisions, the four members came out together, all with bitter faces, but they spoke very certainly: "Wait, don't tell Qin Ming!" ”

Now the whole hall was quiet, the kind of silence that everyone was confused, and even some suspected that they were dreaming.

Even the emperor was stunned for a short time, and the eldest princess who was the first civil official below frowned, she couldn't figure it out.

Such a good opportunity to clean up Qin Ming, what did the officials of Shangshu and the Ministry of Rites think this week?

After the emperor came back to his senses, he coughed, stroked his hands and said, "Listen to the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Qin Ming, can I beat you?" ”

Zhou Shangshu and the two waiters, the third division, and the four staff members all nodded.

The emperor asked again, "You didn't sue him when he was beaten?" Don't want me to punish him? Don't want to blame him? ”

The ten officials of the Ministry of Rites didn't think about it, nodded together and said, "Don't sue him!" ”

Actually, they also want to sue, they are very aggrieved at the moment, and even Zuo Shilang wants to cry.

However, there is no way.

If he sues Qin Ming, he will pull out things like corruption, and once the emperor investigates them, it will be even more troublesome.

This loss has been eaten, what else can I do?

If he had to sue, he wouldn't have been beaten in the first place.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, it was too weird, too incredible.

The first time I saw the lower official and hit the upper official, it was okay, and the upper official didn't dare to sue the lower official, who did this Nima go to reason?

Even, Prime Minister Zuo opened his mouth and said to Zhou Shangshu: "Zhou Shangshu, if you are threatened, just blink your eyes, the old man will definitely call the shots for you!" ”

Zhou Shangshu smiled bitterly and arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister, the lower officials have not been threatened, they really don't want to sue Qin Langzhong." ”

The right prime minister also spoke: "But you waited for the beating, did you suffer in vain?" How can there be a reason for a lower official to fight a higher official? Is there any royal law left? Even if you don't sue, Benxiang will investigate him Qin Ming for beating Shangguan! ”

Qin Ming smiled at this time: "Your Excellency, the so-called people don't hold officials accountable, people don't sue them, and you still hold on to it, isn't it a bit difficult for a strong man?" ”

"This is a matter of the court, what people don't hold officials accountable, now that the Manchu Dynasty knows everything about the civil and military, can this matter still be counted? Won't you hit whoever you want in the future? Lawless? The right prime minister said angrily.

Qin Ming smiled when he heard this, and said, "The Prime Minister is really a good official, just right." If it could be the same for the people of the world, there would not be so many unjust cases and unjust people in this world! ”

"You ......" Prime Minister You's face sank, Qin Ming was obviously mocking him.

Without waiting for him to continue, Qin Ming said again: "You people, every time you don't understand the situation, you are shouting here, don't Lord Zhou sue me, can there be no reason?" ”

Saying that, Qin Ming looked at Zhou Shangshu and the others, and said, "Lord Zhou, tell them the details of my beating of you, and see if I should beat you?" ”

Zhou Shangshu sweated on his forehead, dare to tell the truth?

He definitely didn't dare, so he thought about it and said:

"It's because this official has found that the officials of the Ministry of Rites are not very diligent in their work these days, and then look at Qin Langzhong, who has been in office for less than a month, and has done so well in negotiating with Xia Guo.

We were ashamed, so I asked Qin Langzhong to beat us and wait for thirty boards, and let me remember the lesson, be more diligent in the future, and keep up with Qin Langzhong......"

"Yes, yes, the lower officials are ashamed, and they asked Qin Langzhong to beat them, and they took this beating, learn from Qin Langzhong......"

The left and right waiters and the three shirou and the middle and foreign lang all spoke one after another.

For a time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including the emperor, froze again.

Nima, it's okay to learn from others, but why let others beat you up if you learn?

But everyone has said so, what else can it do?

The prime ministers and ministers on the left and right sides stopped talking angrily, this Qin Ming can't cure the crime today.

The emperor glanced at Qin Ming, who was smiling, would he believe that the people in the Ministry of Rites were so conscious? In order to study, he voluntarily took a beating Mingzhi?

I believe you're a ghost!
