Yun Xi didn't pay attention to his last words, and after listening to the first half of his words, he turned his head and looked at Huang Huai and the others again.

"One thousand yuan of treasure money is worth at least one hundred and sixty yuan, and one tael of silver is equal to consistent money, that is to say, Li Guan has received nearly four hundred yuan of money during this period. I remember that according to Hongwu's 26th year of the punishment of corruption in the "Da Ming Law", more than 120 times is a capital crime. ”

And since he accepted a bribe this time, he may not have not accepted bribes before. If they are verified one by one, I am afraid that the bribes he received will not be too small. Yun Xi said.

"The minister is in charge of the heavenly mansion, please punish your majesty." Huang Huai said immediately. Li Guan was an official of Ying Tianfu in the past, and Yun Xi's words clearly meant that Li Guan had also accepted bribes when he was in Ying Tianfu in the past, and Huang Huai could only ask for guilt.

"This matter has nothing to do with Huang Aiqing." Yun Xi said: "There are so many big and small things in Tianfu, and you don't have time to worry about other things. I will not cure your sins. ”

With Lu Mingbo's testimony, it should be possible to conclude that Li Guan committed the crime of corruption. Oh yes, and the prisoner should be interrogated. Yun Xi motioned to Wang Xi, Wang Xi walked up to Li Guan and said to him: "Li Yuanwailang, Lu Mingbo, the deputy envoy of the DPRK state, testified that you accepted bribes, can you plead guilty?" ”

"The minister pleaded guilty." Li Guan collapsed to the ground. Said in a very weak voice. He knew that his denial was useless and that he would be discovered. And after he heard Lu Mingbo's words, he knew that he had lost his physiology, and he had no intention of begging for mercy at this time.

"What do you think should be done with Li Guan?" Yun Xi asked the officials present.

"Your Majesty, according to the "Da Ming Law", Li Guan is punished for two crimes and should be beheaded." Chen Ji said a little unbearably. Although he is loyal to Daming and strictly follows all the rules of Daming, after all, he has his own feelings, although he said the punishment he deserved, he couldn't bear to let a civil official be executed.

Huang Huai and Chen Di also couldn't bear to execute a civil official, but according to the provisions of the "Da Ming Law", they were executed, and they couldn't intercede for Li Guan.

Yun Xi was not very happy when he saw their expressions, but he didn't say anything about it, but said: "Although he should be beheaded according to the law, but God has the virtue of a good life, so I opened the net and pardoned his capital crime." ”

Chen Qing intended. Li Guan, a member of the Ministry of Etiquette and Ceremonies, was corrupt and perverted the law, shielded people and committed ,......, two crimes, and should be punished. But God has the virtue of a good life,......, exempted Li Guan from the death penalty, and instead exiled him to Hanzhou with his family. ”

Chen Ji drafted again. In the future, whether it is a Han person, a fan person or others, as long as they violate the "Daming Law" in the Ming Dynasty, they will be dealt with in strict accordance with the "Daming Law", and they must not be biased because of the identity of the nation or the country. ”

"Huang Huai, this case should be widely publicized in the capital by Tianfu, so that everyone knows: no matter what the identity is, as long as it violates the "Da Ming Law", the government will treat it equally and will not be impartial. I will also instruct the Department of Culture and Propaganda to compile a book of operas. ”

"Your Majesty." Chen Di immediately said, and Huang Huai, Chen Ji, Zhou Yuan and others also spoke out to praise them.

But after saying this, Zhou Yuan suddenly thought that at the beginning, His Majesty's disposition was to exile him to Hanzhou, and everyone felt that the punishment was too heavy and dissuaded, but in the end, he was exiled to Hanzhou, and his family was also exiled there, and the punishment was even heavier than at the beginning, but the officials present felt that the emperor was lenient.

If you had complied with your Majesty's wishes from the beginning, would Your Majesty not have spoken out about corruption? So is our approach a snake to add to it? Zhou Yuan thought in his heart.

"Although I pardoned Li Guan's capital crime, the embezzlement must also be investigated, and all officials involved in this case by the Ministry of Rites or other yamen must be investigated and punished." Yun Xi said again: "I will hand over this case to the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate and deal with it, but Li Guan, Jin Hanxuan and Lu Mingbo, the three of you must cooperate with the Criminal Department to investigate the case, and you must not be lazy." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The three of them hurriedly agreed, and they were all very happy. Li Guan was happy because he escaped death, Jin Hanxuan was happy because he did not involve the purpose of his mission, and Lu Mingbo was happy because the emperor did not immediately issue an order to deal with him, but asked him to assist in the investigation of the case and prove that he still had the possibility of reducing the crime.

This case will certainly implicate many officials of the Ministry of Rites. After all, it is very easy to accept bribes from envoys of Fanguo, and it is not easy to be detected. The entire Ministry of Rites is involved. Zheng Yi must be protected from being implicated, and at most he will be punished for one crime of negligence. Other officials also have to be saved, and even if they are punished, they cannot be transferred from the Ministry of Rites, otherwise the Ministry of Rites will be paralyzed. However, the vast majority of officials would strictly follow the "Da Ming Law" to punish them, and finally I came forward to exonerate them from capital crimes, but exiled them all to Hanzhou on the grounds that the capital crimes could be avoided and the living crimes could not be escaped. At this moment, Hanzhou has enough civil officials to deal with political affairs. Yun Xi looked at the three of them with a happy expression, and said happily in his heart.

Yun Xi's purpose in investigating and prosecuting this case today is threefold: one is to uphold the law and win the trust of the people and the police, the second is to dispel the notion that diplomacy is no trivial matter, and the third is to increase the number of civilian officials in Hanzhou.

Hanzhou is too far away, and now it is a barren land, and the vast majority of civil officials would not be willing to go to such a place. It is also inappropriate to forcibly appoint, if people are forced to do everything in a hurry, they can resign or even harm themselves in order not to go to the Hanzhou Continent, even if they are emperors, they can't do anything.

However, Hanzhou needed a large number of civilian officials, and the military and political power could not be in the hands of military generals, so he could only increase the number of local civil officials by exiling some of the civilian officials who had made mistakes.

After a short time, Chen Ji finished writing these holy decrees and brought them to Yun Xi for review. Yun Xi read it once and there was no problem, stamped the big seal, and asked one of the guards present to send it to the General Administration Department to issue it.

Now that the case has been basically disposed of, all that remains is to investigate the corruption of the Ministry of Rites has nothing to do with this case, and there are many envoys from Fanguo who are waiting for the emperor to summon them, and Huang Huai and others will bow and retreat.

Yun Xi was just about to agree, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Shen, who had only described what had happened to him at the beginning, and then Su Shen, who had not spoken, patted his head and said, "I almost forgot." ”

"Ying Tianfu was from the Jiupin policeman, loyal to his duties,......, gave him a horse of silk, and the official was promoted to one level. Huang Huai, when you go back, let's see what kind of official position is better for him. ”

"The policeman who was seriously injured was given a second-class medal following the example of a soldier who was wounded for the country. The rest of the policemen who pursued Lu Mingbo were each given a month's salary. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long." Su Xiang immediately knelt down excitedly and said.

"Obey." Huang Huai also agreed.
