The Queen Mother walked in the imperial garden, and she was a little sleepy and was helped back to the palace.

Emperor Chen stood at the gate of the Imperial Garden, shook his head and said, "The Queen Mother is more likely to be tired than before. ”

Wei Jian said slowly: "The imperial doctor said that the Queen Mother's illness is like this, and she is more likely to fall asleep than ordinary people. ”

Emperor Chen said again: "Has Doctor Sun found it?" ”

Wei Jian shook his head and said, "Not yet, Doctor Sun won't stay in one place for too long, he should have gone out to look for medicine again, maybe he is no longer in Chen Country." Moreover, Imperial Physician Ling said that even if he was Doctor Sun, at most, he could only prolong the life of the Queen Mother for a few years, and could not cure the Queen Mother's illness. ”

Chen Huang sighed and said, "It's good to be able to prolong your life for a few years." ”

He withdrew his gaze from the front and asked, "Am I really ruthless?" ”

Wei Jian was surprised: "How could Your Majesty have such an idea, Your Majesty is not ruthless at all." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "You don't need to flatter me, I want to hear the truth today." ”

Wei Jian said: "The old slave never tells lies in front of His Majesty. ”

"Okay, you've been with me all your life, even if you say something wrong, I won't blame you, those people never dare to tell the truth in front of me, I'm tired of listening to it, I'm tired of listening to it, let's say it, I want to hear what you have in your heart."

Wei Jian looked at Emperor Chen and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty...... is a little ruthless. ”

"What?" Emperor Chen's face showed anger, his eyes looked at him, and asked, "Tell me, why am I ruthless!" ”

Wei Jian looked at him and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty is ruthless to corrupt officials, ruthless to filthy officials, and ruthless to the barbarians on the grassland who threaten the border of my Chen State, it is precisely because of Your Majesty's ruthlessness that the world can be clear and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and Your Majesty's ruthlessness is the ...... of the world."

Emperor Chen looked at him, shook his head, and said, "It's really a pity that you are a eunuch. ”

……

There were only four of the ten lieutenants left, and Liu Jun was only five, so Tang Ning had no choice but to let each of them take charge of two battalions first.

Zhang Chao's cruel words were released early, but he never took action, but wilted, and when he saw Tang Ning, he hid and left.

Not only that, Zhang Chao never expressed any opinion on his dismissal of those lieutenants.

Liu Jun's matter has been resolved, and the matter of Mu Yu and the others has not yet been resolved, but Tang Ning has already asked Xiao Jue to collect their crimes, and as long as they are submitted to the Ministry of War, they will be able to vacate a few positions.

In a barracks somewhere, several soldiers looked at Zhang Chao and said anxiously: "General Zhang Zuolang, General Xiao Youlang have collected our incriminating evidence, you have to think of a way for us......"

Zhang Chao was drunk, poured another glass of wine, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "If you collect it, you will collect it, what do you want me to do?" ”

"This can't be done...... one person said anxiously: "If he hands over those things to the military department, wouldn't we, wouldn't we end up in the same fate as Captain Wei?" ”

Zhang Chao drank all the wine in the cup and asked, "Does this have anything to do with me?" ”

After Princess Yiyang came back from the palace, she scolded him, and at this time he understood that Tang Ning was unscrupulous and arbitrary in Zuo Xiaowei.

With His Majesty behind him, he naturally didn't dare to do anything, otherwise let alone Captain Wei, even he, the Zuo Lang General, should be the end.

If you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can hide, so far, he doesn't think much about anything, one more day in this Zuo Xiaowei is a day, as long as Tang Ning stops and doesn't trouble him.

The soldier looked at him and said, "General Zhang Lang, you can't do this, aren't we still ...... for you?"

"Peng!"

Zhang Chao put down his wine glass abruptly and said angrily: "Are you threatening me!" ”

The man immediately said, "My subordinates don't dare to ......."

Zhang Chao looked at them, and after a while, he waved his hand a little impatiently: "Okay, okay, don't worry, this time you are lucky, it is useless for him to get your incriminating evidence......"

The soldier looked at him cautiously and asked, "What does Zhang Lang mean by this?" ”

……

Tang Ning unexpectedly found that those who joined the army who were given evidence by Xiao Jue were still full of fear when they saw him in the morning, and they were beaming at noon.

He thought that they had something to rely on, but when he came home at night and sat on the roof with Zhao Man to watch the stars, he finally knew the reason.

Tang Ning looked at her and said in surprise: "Amnesty for the world? ”

Zhao Man nodded and said, "Father said that the emperor decided to grant amnesty to the world, pray for the emperor's grandmother to be blessed and accumulated, and all the prisoners in the previous cases today can be amnestied." ”

Amnesty is a common thing that emperors do, when the emperor ascends the throne, changes the name of the era, appoints empresses, crown princes, or encounters natural disasters, he issues a pardon decree to pardon some criminals.

This kind of pardon is a complete pardon, and if the culpability has not been prosecuted, it will not be prosecuted; where the prosecution has already been pursued, the prosecution shall be withdrawn; Where a sentence has already been pronounced to be served, the sentence is declared null and void, and even the case record will not be left.

Of course, this article does not apply to everyone, and those who plot rebellion, murder and arson, and commit the most heinous crimes are not included in the amnesty.

The reason why the ancient emperors did this, the biggest purpose is to buy people's hearts, of course, Chen Guo is now Haiyan River Qing, Chen Huang does not need to use this to unite people's hearts, his amnesty this time, mainly for the queen mother to accumulate good fortune, everything in the rebellion, rebellion and other ten evils, will be pardoned.

However, this pardon is also time-limited, and is only valid for prisoners who have committed adultery before the amnesty, and those who want to take advantage of the amnesty will receive a more severe punishment.

Zhao Man held his chin with both hands and said: "Father also said that the emperor's grandmother's birthday is coming, and this birthday, the palace will be big, and it will be lively......"

In this era, people generally believed that the excitement would bring good luck, and when someone was seriously ill, they would marry or hold a birthday party, hoping to drive away bad luck.

Tang Ning looked at her and asked, "What disease is the Queen Mother suffering from?" ”

Zhao Man shook his head and said, "The imperial doctor said that it was thirst-quenching disease, and there was no way to cure it, so she could only try to extend her longevity ......."

Hearing the name of thirst-quenching disease, Tang Ning shook his head slightly.

Thirst disease is diabetes, which is also controllable and incurable in the era of medical development in later generations, and in this era, there is no effective drug control.

What science can't do, Emperor Chen wants to do through amnesty and birthday banquets, obviously can't do it.

He hugged Zhao Man's shoulders and said, "Don't be sad, birth, old age, sickness and death are all human nature......

Zhao Man looked up at him and asked, "If I get old and become an old woman, will you still accompany me to watch the stars?" ”

Tang Ning hugged him a little tighter and said, "In my heart, you will never grow old......

……

Amnesty is a major event, and it has only been done once in the current dynasty, when His Majesty ascended the throne, and it is an excellent opportunity for those who have committed minor wrongs to eliminate their guilt.

That's what several of Zuo Xiaowei's soldiers thought so, what they committed was not a big crime, it was nothing more than corruption and dereliction of duty, and they were not guilty of the past in the face of amnesty, and they would not even leave a single case record.

"What about being arbitrary, can he disobey His Majesty's orders?"

"It's really hanging this time, but fortunately I met the amnesty ......"

"I'm really scared to death, if Tang Zhonglang will hand over those things to the military department in two days, he will miss the amnesty......"

……

Several members of the army gathered together, and they were all happy.

One of them passed by with a stack of dossiers or something like that in his hand, and one of the soldiers looked at him and asked, "Wang Sijie, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

The man stopped, looked back at them, and said, "This is the file that Tang Zhonglang asked me to retrieve from the military department, saying that it will be changed again, and it will be sent over in two days......"
