readx; Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, wanted to arrest Zheng Qixin, the garrison of the Vermilion Bird Battalion, and Zheng Qixin immediately protested and argued: "Lord Shangshu, the last general is in the military, even if he is really guilty, he should be arrested and tried by Jinyiwei!" ”

Qiao Yunsheng felt nervous when he heard this. The emperor www.biquge.info issued an edict not long ago, and all officers and soldiers involved in crimes will be under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei, and of course he knows about it. However, Zhu Youzhen was still in Henan at that time, and there was no actual case after returning to Beijing, and today is the first time. In the past, the imperial court was quite chaotic in terms of justice, and the Dali Temple of the Dongchang Jinyi Guard Criminal Department often fought openly and secretly for the right to try cases, and the successive emperors also had many orders and repented after dividing power, so Qiao Yunsheng didn't take this holy decree too seriously, and what could be fought for still had to fight, at most it was just that he couldn't fight. However, what he didn't expect was that Zheng Qixin, a small guard, actually used the holy decree he had just issued to refute himself, if he withdrew like this, it would be a big loss of face.

After thinking about it, Qiao Yunsheng still decided to arrest people. After all, tampering with the holy decree is a big crime, even if Zheng Qixin is not under the control of the Criminal Department, at most the emperor will issue an order to transfer it to Jinyiwei. Therefore, Qiao Yunsheng immediately roared angrily: "If you have anything to say, go to the lobby of the criminal department and argue again!" Take! ”

The people from the Criminal Department rushed up and tied up Zheng Qixin. In fact, the Suzaku Battalion under Zheng Qixin's combat effectiveness is quite strong, and if you want to make a move, these people in the Criminal Department are not at the same level as them at all. But Qiao Yunsheng is the secretary of the criminal department of the cabinet minister, and Zheng Qixin is also afraid that things will get out of control, and he will be unreasonable, so he has to stop his subordinates from using force. All the soldiers were indignant when they saw Zheng Qixin being unjustly arrested.

Just when Qiao Yunsheng was about to bring Zheng Qixin back to the Criminal Department, he only heard the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him, and then someone shouted: "Slow! ”

When Qiao Yunsheng looked back, he saw dozens of Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists hurriedly arrived, led by a young man in his twenties, who bowed to Qiao Yunsheng and said, "The last general Jinyi Wei Qianhu Kingdom is Zheng, see Lord Shangshu!" ”

As soon as Qiao Yunsheng saw Jinyiwei arrive, he knew that something was wrong. Although the kingdom is only a six-grade thousand households, Jinyiwei represents the emperor, and he can't afford to mess with it, so he has to say with a little embarrassment: "Wang Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, I don't know why Jinyiwei is here?" ”

"I heard that there was a conflict between the Zhengyangmen Soldiers and Horses Division and the Suzaku Battalion, and the Yan Commander sent the last general over." Wang Guozheng replied respectfully, "I heard that it involves tampering with the holy decree, and this matter is of a serious nature, and the person involved must be brought back to Beizhen Fusi for trial." ”

These words seemed polite, but in fact they were non-negotiable, so Qiao Yunsheng had no choice but to nod and say, "The headquarters also happened to pass by here." Since Jinyiwei is trial, it is inconvenient for the Criminal Department to intervene, come, hand over the criminal Zheng Qixin to Jinyiwei. ”

Zheng Qixin was tied up and handed over to Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, Wang Guozheng still didn't leave, and smiled at Zhang Qingzhen: "Hui Anbo is also a party to this case, and please deign to move to Beizhen Fusi and cooperate with Lord Yan to ask about the case." ”

Zhang Qingzhen panicked when he heard this. He originally wanted to use the hand of the Criminal Department to teach Zheng Qixin a lesson, and he was angry and trembling; But if the matter really gets to Jinyiwei, it's hard to say what the consequences will be, so he regretted it for a while, and pretended to be magnanimous on the surface and said: "Lord Shangshu Wang Qianhu, this uncle thinks that this is not a big deal, but the two sides did not communicate well, and there was some misunderstanding, so there is no need to go to Beizhen Fusi." In my opinion, it's better to let Zheng Qixin go, and it's okay to take a step back on both sides, it's better to have more than one thing, take a step back and open the sky, hahaha..."

"No way!" Zheng Qixin, who was bound, immediately shouted, "The last general will never dare to tamper with the holy decree, this matter must be investigated, otherwise the last general will die!" Wang Qianhu, please immediately bring me back to Beizhen Fusi for strict interrogation! ”

Wang Guozheng also bowed his head and said, "Exactly." The last general was ordered by strict command to bring relevant people back to Beizhen Fusi, and if he didn't bring people back, he would not be able to return to his life. Come on, bring people back. Huianbo, please too! ”

At this time, Zhang Qingzhen and Qiao Yunsheng were dumbfounded. As a minister, Qiao Yunsheng certainly knew the content of this holy decree, but because it was none of his business, he naturally wouldn't look at the subtleties like "twenty steps" and "thirty steps". Liu Hongxun didn't tell Qiao Yunsheng that he had changed the holy decree privately, otherwise Qiao Yunsheng would not have come to arrest people with confidence. And just as Liu Hongxun thought, Qiao Yunsheng also thought that this was a clerical error in the holy decree, which was not a big deal, and arresting Zheng Qixin was just taking the opportunity to give him a dismissal. Now that Jin Yiwei insisted on asking Zhang Qingzhen to go with him, Qiao Yunsheng had no choice but to laugh and say: "Hui Anbo, since the rights and wrongs are clear, it doesn't hurt to go." ”

Zhang Qingzhen had no excuse to shirk it, so he had to come to Beizhen Fusi with Jinyiwei. Jin Yiwei commanded Yan Zhengang to wait for a long time, and immediately went to the court to ask about the case.

In fact, there is nothing to ask, Zheng Qixin said that the holy decree is thirty steps, Yan Zhengang immediately sent someone to Yongdingmen to get the holy decree, and it was indeed thirty steps; Zhang Qingzhen also took out the holy decree for himself, because Liu Hongxun described it very skillfully, after this half a day, it was not easy to see the traces of alteration.

"One is thirty steps and the other is twenty steps, and one will be wrong." Yan Zhengang muttered, "As for whether it was an unintentional mistake or an intentional one, let's talk about it later, but for now, let's verify which is right and which is wrong." ”

So Jin Yiwei immediately wrote down the general process of this matter and sent it to the Heart Cultivation Hall together with the two holy decrees. Zhu Youzhen was shocked when he heard this, and first convened the secretariat to strictly investigate.

According to the current process, the emperor's edict can be drafted by the cabinet, or it can be drafted directly by the secretariat under the emperor's instructions, and then signed by Zhu Youzhen himself, and then the female official of the secretariat will use the seal, and finally forwarded to the person receiving the decree by the cabinet. The original female official was Mei Jian, and now that she has been promoted to Concubine Mei, this job will be taken over by Lan Jian. Specifically, this piece was drafted by the secretariat, so Zhu Youzhen first checked with the secretariat.

However, the Secretariat had two audits, and the palace maid in charge of copying and auditing said that after strict inspection, there were absolutely no clerical errors. Zhu Youzhen also passed on the decree, and all the holy decrees distributed to the four guards and nine gates of the palace and the four battalions of the Beijing Division were all taken back and compared carefully, and found that only the one given to Liu Hongxun and Zhang Qingzhen was wrong, and the others were exactly the same, and he was even more suspicious.

That night, Zhu Youzhen urgently summoned the cabinet ministers to discuss the matter. Liu Hongxun is a member of the Donglin Party, and most of the ministers are from the Donglin Party, so they naturally speak to him. Qiao Yunsheng played: "According to the minister's opinion, this is a clerical error. Mistakes are inevitable, and there is only a one-word difference, and there is no major difference between 30 and 20 steps. The female officials in the palace occasionally made mistakes, and they were afraid of Tianwei and did not dare to admit it, which was not a big deal. Zhang Qingzhen didn't know that his will was wrong, and he had a conflict with Zheng Qixin, but in fact, there was nothing wrong with both parties. As for the female official of the secretariat, she is a person in the palace, and how to deal with it should be determined by the Holy Judge. ”

The ministers echoed one after another, but saw that Zhu Youzhen's face was pale and he didn't say a word. Wen Tiren is the best at observing words and feelings, and when he saw this, he immediately said coldly: "The minister thinks that what Qiao Yunsheng said is ridiculous!" ”
