(The previous matter about the Lan family's execution of three slaves and maids to repay Tianfu has been slightly changed)

Yun Xi went down to the court and came to the Qianqing Palace to answer the folds. In the afternoon of the same day, more than a dozen imperial historians folded bullets to impeach the Lan family; And Yun Xi received a secret report from Jinyiwei: There are more officials who want to admonish, but the excerpt has not yet been prepared.

Yunxi was still thinking about this matter when he was eating that night, and he seemed a little absent-minded. Xi Yao asked strangely, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" Is there something big going on in the court? ”

"Hey, Huang Huai proposed to strictly prohibit the official eunuchs from keeping slaves and maids, which is fine, but he also proposed to punish the servants or children of the powerful families in Beijing for illegal things, and impeached Lan Zhen by name. And the first sin of impeaching Lan Zhen was to execute three slaves and maids without authorization in the name of slandering the master. Yun Xi said.

With a "bang", Yun Xi turned his head to look, only to see the small bowl in Siqi's hand falling onto the table, shaking the entire table, and rice grains jumped out of the bowl. Siqi immediately picked up the rice bowl again, and the palace maid serving on the side hurriedly cleaned it up.

"Executing three slaves without permission is ......" Xiyao said to Yun Xi, who nodded without waiting for her to finish speaking.

"This," Xi Yao said, "the husband also knows, and those three should also be executed." ”

"But at this time, I can't come forward, and I can't let the officials know that the three slaves were executed because of Siqi." Yun Xi said.

Now that things are on the table, we have to follow the rules. Siqi is just the county lord of the non-clan family, and according to the "Da Ming Law", she is not worthy of death for slandering her, so in order to pick out Siqi, you can't let everyone know that this matter is related to Siqi; As the emperor, Yun Xi can't interfere without permission.

"As for other things, although the sins they have committed are not great, and they are just reparations for the people, but as soon as there are many things, the problem is serious, and it is also unfavorable to the impression of the court among the people." Yun Xi said.

"Not to mention that Lan Mingxuan is also involved in a life lawsuit." Yun Xi told Lan Mingxuan about it.

Xi Yao glanced at Si Qi and said, "Those slaves are punished and punished, what does His Majesty Lan Mingxuan plan to do?" ”

"Lan Mingxuan is only fourteen years old this year, and he didn't kill anyone with his own hands, according to the "Da Ming Law", he can be exempted from exile, I plan to let Lan Zhen compensate the family for some money, and then ban Lan Mingxuan from leaving the house." Yun Xi said.

"The concubine immediately sent someone to inform her mother's family to severely punish the slaves who violated the law and discipline, and tied them up and sent them to Yingtianfu." Xi Yao said.

After eating, Yun Xi wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest, but suddenly heard a childish voice calling: "Uncle." ”

"Siqi? Why didn't you go back with Min'a? Yun Xi said.

Siqi didn't answer, but said: "The three slaves and maids who were impeached and executed by the Lan family this time are because of the three people who were executed by Siqi, right?" ”

"Yes." Yun Xi felt that he couldn't hide it from lying, so he told the truth.

Siqi said in a low mood: "It's me who has caused my uncle." ”

Yun Xi picked her up and said, "Why did you get Lan Zhen involved?" There are so many lawlessness among the servants of the Lan family, even if there is no such thing, they will be impeached. ”

"But at least not to be an early bird." Siqi said.

"That's not necessarily, you think, Lan Mingxuan's negligence caused suicide, even this incident is enough for Huang Huai to impeach Lan Zhen first, and it's the same without you." Yun Xi said.

Siqi thought about it and felt that what Yun Xi said made sense, but his mood was still a little low. Yun Xi comforted her again and again to make her better.

……

……

Lan Zhen didn't dare to go home immediately after the morning court, everything needs to be careful at such a sensitive moment, and she came to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies after a busy day and then went home at night.

As soon as he entered the house, he said to the housekeeper, "Call Chen and Mingxuan over!" Seeing that his face was unswerving, the housekeeper didn't dare to delay and immediately went to find Chen.

Chen came to the hall with some confusion, and before he could speak, he heard Lan Zhen scold: "How do you deserve this family!" ”

"What's going on?" Chan asked.

"What's wrong, you ask? Today, Huang Huai asked His Majesty to severely punish the powerful slaves and their children for violating the law, and impeached our family by name, saying that our slaves have violated the law the most. Lan Zhen said.

As he spoke, Lan Mingxuan walked in. Lan Zhen immediately said to him, "Kneel! ”

Lan Mingxuan's body trembled and knelt on the ground.

Chen walked over to help his son and said to Lan Zhen, "What are you doing to your son so harshly." ”

"You're still protecting him, do you know what he's done! On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, he took his slaves to rob other people's antiques. Lan Zhen said.

"It's nothing." Chen muttered quietly.

Lan Zhen didn't hear her muttering, and continued: "As a result, the person who robbed the antique couldn't think about it, and committed suicide in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"I was stabbed out at this time in the morning today, and I lost face."

"This," Chen was also a little panicked: "I won't let Ming Xuan go to prison or exile." ”

She is also a member of the Xungui family, and her father was crowned an uncle by Zhu Yuanzhang back then. Although she was later counted as Hu Weiyong's remnants of the party and had no power to cut off her title, she had seen it after all, and knew that such a thing could be big or small, and it all depended on His Majesty's intentions and public opinion above the court. If the public opinion is very bad and the emperor does not protect it, it is possible to deal with it harshly.

"Isn't Siqi very favored in the palace, begging Siqi to say a few good words for his brother in front of His Majesty."

"You don't need to think about Qi Meiyan in this matter, Your Majesty will still protect Lan Mingxuan, and he didn't hurt and kill someone with his own hands." Lan Zhen said.

"But Lan Mingxuan can do such a thing now, and in the future, he will not dare to kill people on the street! So what's the matter! Lan Zhen said.

Chen was slightly relieved when he heard that Lan Mingxuan would not have anything to do, and then heard Lan Zhen's last sentence, and said: "What the master taught me is that there are some negligences in my family, please punish the master." ”

"Slaves must be taught not to bully others, and to obey the "Great Ming Law". This time, after the cases of Ying Tianfu were settled, the remaining subordinates of bad character in the palace were all expelled from the palace, and the number of servants in the palace was reduced to within 100 people. ”

"And Mingxuan, look what you've taught him to be!" The more Lan Zhen thought about it, the more angry she became: "I can't let him mess around in the inner house, I'm going to throw him into the guard and beat him." ”

"Master, Ming Xuan is only fourteen years old." Chan said.

"When my father was fourteen years old, I followed my uncle to fight in the north and south. I have made up my mind, and I don't need to say more. Lan Zhen said.

Chen didn't dare to refute, so he could only agree.

Lan Zhen immediately ordered the subordinates who already knew that there was something illegal today to be arrested. He didn't dare to hit the board at this time, so he ordered each person to smoke ten mouths, bundle them and throw them to the firewood room to prepare for handing them over to Ying Tianfu.
