Chapter 31 Rewards

When the prince of Hezhong wanted to go to the Zichen Palace to participate in the matter, Xue Chongxun was noncommittal, and he did not agree or disobey his mother, Princess Taiping, on the spot. Of course he was reluctant in his heart, although the princess of the river was his own sister, and she was a woman, and there was no hidden danger like Xue Erlang, but it was very strange in terms of power, the closer the ginseng, the more troublesome it was, and when Li Dan was in charge of his imperial sister Taiping Gong, there were too many things.

Xue Chongxun did not categorically refuse, he did not think that this matter was very strict, and in his heart, he would try his best to compromise with Princess Taiping if he was not particularly strict, which was the consistent tone since the beginning of the dynasty. Because in his eyes, a woman's vision is still relatively narrow after all, and it is difficult to have much impact on his power; There is only one woman who really makes him pay attention to his business: Princess Taiping.

Unexpectedly, there was an "accident" the next day, because the timing was too coincidental, and Xue Chongxun thought that it was indeed just an accident.

During the deliberations, the people in the political hall returned yesterday's note and a file with a jade seal, and Xiao Zhizhong stated the reason in person: "This is the file of the criminal department reviewing the punishments of various places, and the discussion of the political hall is attached. One of the Wannian County uncle-sister-in-law fornication cases was revised with a zhu pen to: All punishments are appropriate, and his sister-in-law is not guilty. The minister thought that the law could not be changed in this way, because the rewards and punishments were not clear. ”

At this time, Dou Huaizhen came out and said: "The law stipulates: those who commit adulteration are one and a half years for each man and a woman, and two years for those who have a husband. The injustice is too obvious, and the font on the Guan Guan Shu is not the royal approval, please re-judge. ”

In the face of such a black-and-white matter, Li Shouyi, who has always regarded himself as loyal and outspoken, could not remain silent, he immediately stood up and criticized: "Some people are pampered and misbehaving, and the writer is good at advocating, treating the criminal law as child's play. The law of the country is ruthless and just, and those who disturb government affairs must be severely punished to set an example! ”

Li Shouyi spoke in a round manner, with a righteous and imposing face, which frightened the "some people" to the point that his face turned pale. "Some people" obviously refers to Bai Qimei, who is standing on the side of the throne, and everyone knows that she is Zhu Pi on behalf of the emperor.

Bai Qimei hurriedly argued: "Why is the case convicted of 'rape'?" Most of this kind of thing is no wonder to women, if they are used by that uncle, most women dare not speak out for the sake of fame. When the crime is discovered, you have to be punished with the thug, and you will have a bad reputation, this is what you call justice? ”

The ministers all wanted to laugh and endured it after hearing it, and there were too many loopholes in a few sentences. Xue Chongxun also felt that Bai Qimei was usually eloquent, and she was really not an opponent at all with these old fritters in the temple. However, discussing this matter belongs to the category of "nonsense", Xue Chongxun has to endure such long nonsense every day, and he will often say very strictly, such as "the justice of the law of the country", he can't ask someone to drag Li Shouyi out and beat him now, there are not many good ways to do it.

Sure enough, Li Shouyi immediately became a bamboo and competed in his chest: "If the trial of this case is different, it should also be retried, or men and women are guilty of the same crime or both are not guilty, how can there be a reason to treat them differently?" ”

Bai Qimei opened her mouth aggrievedly, and was about to speak. Li Shouyi immediately split his head and covered his face and shouted: "Your Majesty is the emperor of heaven, and the south is the son of heaven, and the father and mother are the sons, and the right to act on behalf of the heavens." Although the people are diligent and the people are well educated, they can't do everything in their own hands, so they choose the virtuous and loyal as their support, and there are traitors who take the opportunity to monopolize and disturb, how can they be tolerated? ”

The ministers were silent, but they did not object to Li Shouyi, but felt that this person was still useful at some times. If you indulge in the emperor's favor and abuse of power, it is not a good thing for everyone.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, it was really quiet. Li Shouyi was finally a little measured, he didn't bite Bai Qimei and didn't let go, and returned to the matter: "The minister advised that this case be sent back to the Criminal Department for review, and it is really as the court lady said, the male prisoner is not sentenced to two years in prison, and the rapist is a relative, according to the law: beheading!" ”

The last word "beheading" was sonorous and powerful, and Bai Qimei's shoulders trembled, as if she was going to behead her. She is a person who came from the shadow of the sword and sword, and her courage is not small, but she didn't expect that sometimes the words on people's lips are more intimidating than pointing at them with knives.

Xue Chongxun saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart, you are a man with such a long beard, it's glorious to scare a little girl? He thought that the person who first took this to hide it was Dou Huaizhen, Dou Huaizhen, who specially took refuge in the Queen Mother, who used to be Wei Shi and later Taiping, this matter would not be instructed by his mother, right?

The instant dead silence atmosphere in the hall made Bai Qimei extremely helpless, she used to hold the red pen to pass the emperor's addiction, she probably thought it was fun, she didn't think too much, but she didn't know that the power represented by the vermilion ink was more bloody than blood, and a small case was actually not even a leopard in the tube. She almost cried, but she still endured it and pretended to be a so-called expression, as if this qiē was indeed child's play in her eyes, a stubborn and unrepentant expression.

But even if she is a sloppy person, she is just hiding herself in the dark and walking on the edge of the darkness, being able to kill does not mean that her heart is really so strong, the really powerful people are Li Shouyi's powerful ministers, the officials are blatant, and the yang plot is the game of the strong. Bai Qimei was full of fear and was very insecure at this time...... This situation reminded her of the days when she was hunted down and fled by the government, and she was lucky to not be able to see her fate.

At this moment, Xue Chongxun slowly spoke: "Those words of Zhu Pi were written by the female official ......"

The ministers were all slightly surprised when they heard this, because the emperor was never wrong, and the people below who were at fault did not do it well, and it was indeed a bit surprising that Xue Chongxun claimed it by himself. Li Shouyi also frowned and retreated to his position to say that he had nothing to say, even if he said it bluntly, he dared to say anything, but he was not a fool, and it was useless to scold the emperor in front of him if he had nothing to do.

Bai Qimei suddenly turned her head and looked at Xue Chongxun with watery eyes, after all, she was a woman with some subjective sensibility, and suddenly felt that Xue Chongxun's originally ordinary voice just now was very good, full of magnetism and charm. Then even his figure became tall in Bai Qimei's eyes, as if he could hold up the sky.

Xue Chongxun said very calmly: "At that time, someone said a few words beside me, and I let people deal with it like this without careful consideration for a while, but now I think about it, there is indeed something negligent. Fortunately, all the ministers in the political hall are attentive to state affairs, and even a small negligence can be checked and filled, and I am very relieved, you are all loyal ministers, and there are no traitors here. According to Li Shouyi's performance, the Criminal Department ordered Wannian County to re-examine. That's it, let's talk about the rest, Du Xian, you first state Yingzhou's opinion, and let everyone discuss. ”

"Obey." Du Xian hurriedly came out to salute.

So people stopped dwelling on what happened just now, and the emperor considered himself "negligent", including Li Shouyi, who was unwilling to say anything more. As for Bai Qimei, of course there is no.

After the morning discussion, Xue Chongxun got up and left Zichen Palace, and Bai Qimei also followed, running to Xue Chongxun's side and twisting as if to apologize. Xue Chongxun saw this beautiful woman with a bit of a wild personality with such an expression, and suddenly felt cute, so he couldn't help but take the opportunity to reach out and put it on her shaved shoulder, and asked with a smile: "I was scared by Li Shouyi's old boy at first?" ”

"Not really." Bai Qimei changed her words again.

Xue Chongxun said kindly: "What are you afraid of, I asked you to approve the chapter, and whoever wants to move you has to ask me if I agree or not." ”

After hearing this, Bai Qimei probably thought of the sentence "It depends on the owner to beat the dog", so she raised her mouth angrily and said: "A mouthful of good words doesn't sound right in your mouth......" She glanced at the big hand on her shoulder again, and Xue Chongxun took it back quietly...... This Bai Qimei looks much more tender than Sanniangshui, her skin is white and firm, and her breasts are quite straight. But it's not very easy to start, although it can be strong when you go out, but it's not good after all, it's harder than those palace maids who can be spoiled casually, it's a little thorny.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he dispelled this thought, Bai Qimei approached him in front of many eunuchs and attendants, padded her feet and put her mouth close to Xue Chongxun's ear and whispered, "I have to reward you, Your Majesty." ”

She mastered the distance very well, neither did she touch Xue Chongxun but was very close, so that he could almost feel the opening and closing of his lips, as well as the itching of the orchid fragrance on his ears. Coupled with a soft and somewhat coquettish tone, Xue Chongxun was provoked into a burst of anger.

"What......" Xue Chongxun lowered his voice and said, "Reward?" ”

Bai Qimei smiled shyly, did not answer positively, and whispered: "It's the first time, you have to be gentle......"

Although Xue Chongxun's expression remained calm, small movements such as pursing his lips had already revealed his mood, and he asked, "When?" ”

At this time, a eunuch ran over with small steps and said, "Your Majesty, the Shang Food Bureau has prepared lunch, will you eat first?" Xue Chongxun immediately said: "Go to the greenhouse hall first, and then I'll talk about it after I finish processing an important piece of music." ”

Bai Qimei couldn't help laughing, probably the hungry ghost in the color means that he can't even care about eating, right?

In the front and back hugs, Xue Chongxun and his entourage came to the greenhouse hall not far from the west, he usually reads the chapter, sometimes the court meeting or meets the ministers are here, but its original function is mainly living and living, baths, bedrooms, dining rooms, etc. Xue Chongxun entered the main hall and didn't go to the study at all, and went straight to the side hall used for rest: there was a bed inside.

This is also a special place to deal with important movements, and he also retreated left and right, telling his entourage to do what they should do. Sanniang probably guessed what Xue Chongxun was going to do, and she stood far away and didn't follow, Bai Qimei glanced back at her, but it was really not easy to see something from the expression on Sanniang's face.
