Chapter 13: Face the Saint

The next day, the Qiankun Palace.

Hundreds of officials pilgrimage, standing quietly on both sides of the hall, the beams and pillars in the hall, there is a dragon circling up, the posture is vigorous, the carving is clear, the cold light refracted by the dragon body, through the majesty of the silk, makes people feel the pressure invisibly.

Emperor Yijia sat on the high dragon chair, listened to the words of the hundred officials, stroked his forehead, and looked a little tired.

At this time, a thin man with an older beard was making an impassioned speech.

"Your Majesty, the white imperial doctor has always been good friends with the old ministers, and he is generous, during his tenure, although he has not made meritorious contributions to the government and the opposition, he has also fulfilled his duties, and after resigning, he has made a good relationship, and suffered from this extermination of the family, that is, the ordinary people's families, and there are also people who denounce the grievances, and no one is willing to come forward to find out the reason for him, so that he can be peaceful underground, and call me and other old ministers, how can I not be cold, Your Majesty!"

This person spoke earnestly, and his voice was silent, and the ministers who seconded the proposal were all old ministers of the court.

At this time, another official stood up, about thirty or so on, and when he spoke, there was always a smile of unknown meaning on his face, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Imperial Physician Bai has been away from the government and the opposition for more than ten years, and even if such a major matter occurs, it should not be tried by the imperial court in person, but should be handed over to local officials to investigate, and after the investigation of the Lin'an Mansion, this matter may be related to the nearby mountain bandits, since it has been concluded, why use the manpower and materials of the imperial court to re-examine, this is really inappropriate." ”

The older official's face immediately sank, "Lord Lin, what you said is biased, the things that Imperial Doctor Bai did to save the Queen Mother back then may not be able to do it even for the children of ordinary people, and besides, if it is really done by mountain bandits, why is the Bai family's silver money deed there, and the old man has never seen a mountain bandit who only kills people and does not rob!" ”

After that, he raised his head and was quite annoyed.

The man known as Lord Lin smiled lightly, "It was Imperial Doctor Bai who saved the Queen Mother, and that is also where his job lies, Lord Shangshu suspects that this matter is not the work of the mountain bandits, so who slaughtered the Bai family?" After a pause, "The Bai family has not participated in the government for many years, and the government and the opposition in the palace have never made enemies, they are not mountain bandits, they are not officials in the court, so who else?" ”

Shangshu was angry, "You...... You...... You're clearly confusing the public! In the absence of empirical evidence, the case cannot be arbitrarily concluded. ”

Emperor Yi Jiadi listened to the two arguing, and suddenly felt extremely bored, and the noise in his ears was very loud, and he couldn't help but drink, "Enough!" ”

Since this incident, officials in the DPRK and China have begun to have different controversies, the older generation of officials mostly think of the situation after their return to their hometowns, and use the Bai family's affairs to make the saints pay more attention to the old ministers, while the younger generation of new ministers think that since they have resigned, they should not let the court personally try them.

If the case is directly overturned, it will indeed make the old minister cold and lose part of the people's hearts, and it can be handed over to the imperial court for trial, and there has never been a precedent, which is unreasonable.

The Queen Mother has also mentioned this matter in front of Emperor Yijia more than once, intentionally or unintentionally, and her words are full of regret, how can the emperor not understand what she means.

That being the case, it is better to let Bai Ge come forward, maybe the matter can be decided.

Emperor Yijia sighed, waved his hand to the attendant beside him, and the attendant responded, and then took a few steps forward, "Xuan-Bai Ge to meet -"

The officials looked at each other, not knowing what the saint meant, and they all looked sideways at the door of the temple.

At the entrance of the main hall, a plain-clothed woman stepped in slowly, without powder, but still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off, the skin was like condensation, the eyes were full of autumn waves, the eyebrows were like Yuandai, the lips were like cinnabar, and the plain face had no expression, but there was an otherworldly temperament.

Ami walked to the front of the hall and saluted respectfully, her voice crisp, "Minnu Baige, see Your Majesty." ”

At this time, someone slowly reacted, and the courtiers below began to talk about it.

"Isn't this the proprietress of the drunkard's house? Isn't her name Bai Fumei? ”

"But some time ago, the one who was friendly with King Yi and traveled to the Lantern Festival with King Ning?"

"Isn't it?"

"What a good means, such a water-based poplar woman can even ascend to the Qiankun Palace!"

"It is said that they are now orphans of the Bai family."

"The daughter of the Bai family?"

"No, I don't know what means I used......

"Imperial Doctor Bai is so clear, how could he give birth to such a daughter......

……

The crown prince listened to their words, and looked at her with some curiosity, King Ning was very surprised, and looked at her with a frown, only King Rui, who acted extremely calmly, as if he didn't know what was happening around him.

Emperor Yijia, who was sitting on the dragon chair, didn't hear their discussion, but Ami stood in the middle of the court hall and heard it clearly.

She turned around, looked around at the ministers, and spoke loudly, "My lords, the folk girl knows that you are very suspicious of the identity of the folk girl, but it is true, the Bai family was unfortunately wiped out, the whole family was a hundred or so, and only the folk girl was left, and she fled to Anling alone, but there were still people chasing and killing behind her, and the folk girl could only change her name and surname first, stabilize her foothold, and then have a chance to take revenge!" As for King Ning and King Yi, the folk girl really just wanted to make friends with the two princes in order to act, but she didn't expect to cause a lot of criticism. ”

After saying that, he turned around and blessed his body.

After hearing this, the courtiers around had different expressions, some of them eased their expressions, and even had a trace of unbearable, and some threw off their robes, as if they had not heard of it.

Emperor Yi Jia also slowed down the color at this time, "You get up first." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Ami straightened up, turned to the direction of the emperor again, and hung her head slightly.

"Tell me what you saw that day." Emperor Yi Jia rubbed his eyebrows.

"Back to Your Majesty, that day was very chaotic, the folk girl only glanced at it in a hurry, but the folk girl can be sure that it was not done by the people of Lin'an, although they all wore civilian clothes, but they were extremely disciplined, but they were more like people in the imperial city, so after the folk girl escaped, she went straight to the imperial city to look for clues."

Ami paused and continued, "The Bai family has a daughter of the people's daughter, and the people's daughter just wants her father to be at ease under the spring, and she also hopes that the saint will make the decision for the people's daughter." ”

Lord Shangshu spoke up again, his expression was a little sad, "Your Majesty, the Bai family has a daughter who is still alive, if this case is hastily closed, the real murderer will definitely harm her again, and according to what she said, the murderer is very likely to be an official of the DPRK and China, Your Majesty, for the sake of the good people and the people, but also for the sake of stabilizing the government, please retry this case." ”

Emperor Yijia raised his eyes and glanced at the ministers in the hall, with different expressions, although there were some expressions of resentment, but no one refuted.

He stretched his brows slightly, "In this case, the case will be handed over to Kaifeng Mansion for retrial, can the secretaries have any objections?" ”

None of the officials said a word, but King Rui, who had always been silent, stood up at this time, his voice was calm and determined, "Father, the son is willing to assist Kaifeng Mansion and jointly try this case. ”

Emperor Yi Jia nodded, "What do the Qing family think?" ”

No one answered, Emperor Yijia glanced around, "Since there is no objection, this matter will be like this first, Changli will assist Kaifeng Mansion, be sure to crack this case as soon as possible, if there is no other matter today, the early dynasty will end here." ”

"Obey the order!"

"Sons obey orders!"

Changli watched Emperor Yijia leave, his expression indifferent.

Ami has been acting for so long, and she is suddenly relieved.

Although I often watch others go to court in TV dramas, I am still very nervous when it is my turn, fortunately, I have watched a lot of court dramas before, otherwise I don't know how to act.

Ami patted her chest, thinking about it, she was still a little afraid.

She looked at Changli again, with some inquiry.

Since he is a prince who is not favored, why can he lead the guards of the imperial city?

Since ancient times, the distribution of the army has been an obscure topic, and it must be in charge of the most trusted person around the emperor.

That's too much to say!

Ami shook her head, not planning to delve any further, and followed the ministers out of the main hall.
