Chapter 159: The Ministers Sue the Puppet Emperor

The third son, Xiao Zhengzhi, quickly became the new monarch of Nanzhao in a bloodless coup.

The winter snow twenty-first of the seventeenth year of the Taiqing Dynasty was the day of Xiaoxue, and the new monarch changed the year name to Yan Ping, and in the first year of Yan Ping, the first emperor Xiao Zheng ascended the throne.

The historical records are very vague about this day, how the new monarch ascended the throne, how he sued the temple, and how he sacrificed to the sky, all of which are unknown.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, once a son of heaven and a courtier.

It only took Xiao Zhengzhi three days to complete the replacement of the old team and establish his own set of teams, with Jin Bonan, Guo Shouguang, Guan Qiandi, Jingguang, Wu Qingliu and others as the core, and the government quickly stabilized.

As the helmsman of the new generation of Nanzhao, Xiao Zhengzhi said with high spirits that he could bring Jokhang on a great and righteous road. When he was presiding over the first high-level meeting of the new dynasty, the internal supervisor outside the door hurriedly reported that Zhang Zheng and the boss were standing on the lung stone!

The lungstone and the Dengwen drum are located in the West City, only an arrow away from the Punishment Department.

Nanzhao stipulates that if the people have a direct complaint, they can stand the stone, provided that the nail bed must be rolled. The scope of direct litigation does not include the elderly, young children, persons with severe disabilities, those who are pregnant, or those with serious diseases, and Zhaolu clearly stipulates that these people cannot file complaints, and they are not within the scope of acceptance. If there is a real need to file a complaint, the family will act as an agent.

Rolling a pegboard is an opportunity for a person who has been greatly wronged to complain, but it is necessary to wear a dirty garment and roll over a 24-foot-long pegboard, and after rolling over, it is all bloody, fleshy, and painful, so that a person who has not been greatly wronged has no courage and determination to do it.

According to the old calendar of the previous dynasty, the criminal department specially sent two people to sit on duty and watch, in case someone can deal with grievances as soon as possible. Later, because there was no one to roll the nail board for ten years, these two people also withdrew to the criminal department.

(Everyone in the Criminal Department: We are busy handling cases every day, and these two people who watch the drum stone chat, drink tea and read the newspaper every day!) It's not fair!

Lu Xiuyi: The official also thinks it's unfair, so transfer them back and let them chase and escape.

Two: The good days are over, crying bitterly)

The lung stone is two zhang high, three zhang wide, the color is dark, such as a person lying on his side, although he did not play his due role in the Nanzhao Dynasty, it can be developed by the masses of Nanzhao to develop a new function, the ancient poem has clouds, my heart is a bandit stone, can not be turned also. The lungstone leads to the bandit stone, and young men and women are in love, and it is necessary to engrave the names of both parties on the lungstone to show their loyalty and never separate.

When the Criminal Department got the news that Mr. Zhang had rolled the nail board, Zhang Zhenghe had already rolled half of the smaller board, and after receiving an urgent report, Zuo Guang, who was temporarily in charge of the Criminal Department, thought about it and asked his subordinates, "How long did it take for Mr. Zhang to roll half of the board?" ”

"Twenty to twenty-five minutes."

Zuo Guang dipped his ink, his brows furrowed, and he looked extremely worried, "The saint wants the official to deal with the case of Xie Dingyi Ji, and he will report the case file in the afternoon, and the official really can't leave, so you take the official brand and go directly to the palace to worship the saint." ”

The messenger was even more worried, "Don't you go over and stop it now, my lord?" I'm afraid that when the lower officials arrive in the palace, the whole capital knows that Mr. Zhang has beaten the drum to reclaim his grievances! ”

Zuo Guang said sincerely, "Oh, this official really can't leave, you better hurry into the palace and tell the saint as soon as possible." ”

Sending people away, he instructed the left and right, "Go and maintain order, and there will be no stampede." ”

Zhang Zhenghe's hair was gray, half sitting on the lung stone, covered in blood, and there were also blood stains on the stone, which made people unbearable to look at.

He gasped for a long time, dusted off his clothes, knelt down and bowed three times facing north, and his forehead was suddenly bleeding.

"Emperor Yaoyu, the old minister has three crimes. A crime of dereliction of duty. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was victimized by a traitor, but the minister was powerless to protect him, and the crime was unforgivable! The second sin is cowardice. The traitor usurped the throne and messed with my country, but the minister only promised and did not dare to speak out, the crime is unforgivable! Three sins are deaf. After several years of unknown acquaintances, he actually recommended a group of wolf ambitions and people who have no national law and discipline, and the crime is unforgivable! ”

He almost didn't speak, but shouted, and the voice was like a bell, hitting everyone present, making the listener can't help but cry this piece of fist.

After a break, he spat blood and continued to indignantly, "Shameless traitor! Mess with my country and harm my prince! What kind of violent illness died, the prince was obviously ...... It was strangled alive...... Qiankun Langlang, this shameless shaft will be split! ”

After that, the old tears were full of tears and whimpering.

……

Xiao Zhengzhi listened to the internal supervision report, and said with a blushing face, "Master Zhang has lost his mind and gone crazy, please ask Lord Guo to appease." I heard that Chu Ning Chu is very good at epilepsy, so I asked Master Chu to go and find a separate hospital so that Mr. Zhang can have a good life and recuperate. ”

When Guo Shouguang arrived with people, Zuo Guang was standing under the lung stone and persuaded bitterly, "Boss, look at you, why don't you just go directly to the lower officials?" Let's go back, don't let people see the joke......"

Zhang Zhenghe took a sip when he heard this, and spit straight out on Zuo Guang's body, "Joke? The old man looked at the Jinluan Hall and that person was the biggest joke! ”

Zuo Guangdao, "You come down first, don't complain about the cold, don't freeze you ......out of the cold."

Zhang Zhenghe took another sip, and Zuo Guang narrowly dodged.

"Foolish thing! What does the old decay do without redressing the grievances? The old rotten nail board is to redress grievances! ”

Zuo Guangdao, "What grievances are you applying for?" ”

Zhang Zhenghe said, "The old man wants to sue the puppet emperor and avenge the crown prince!" The puppet emperor killed the prince, seized the throne, and the old man wanted to sue the puppet emperor! ”

Since the establishment of Lung Stone and Dengwen Drum, there have been countless people who have complained about their grievances, and the highest level of complaint is only the head of the six departments.

Could it be that the Holy Lord was detained and confronted in the Criminal Department?

Joke!

Boss Zhang knew that it was unrealistic, but he still kept complaining to the saint, but he had nowhere to vent his grievances.

These words are very rebellious, Zuo Guang didn't hear it, and said with a smiling face, "My lord come down first, let's go back to the criminal department, talk slowly, talk slowly......"

Guo Shouguang glanced at Zuo Guang coldly, "Lord Zuo has worked hard, and the Holy Lord sent this official to take Elder Zhang back to the palace for treatment, forgive me for being rude." ”

With a wave of his hand, everyone behind him rushed forward, trying to drag Zhang Zhenghe down.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhenghe scolded, "A group of shameless things! If the old man dares to stand on it today, he is letting go of this old life! The puppet emperor is not in the right position, and one day he will be ousted down! The first emperor, the prince, and the old minister are here to accompany you! ”

With that, he got up tremblingly and jumped off the lungstone!

Zuo Guang closed his eyes, an exclamation and scream sounded in his ears, his heart clenched suddenly, like a fish in his throat, when he opened his eyes, he arched his hand to Guo Shouguang, "Mr. Zhang lost his footing and died, it is really regrettable." ”

Guo Shouguang nodded, "Yes, it's regrettable." ”

Zuo Guang said, "This official still has to go to Xie Mansion once, so I won't disturb the adults to deal with the scene." ”

After speaking, he stepped into the carriage and said, "Go to Xie Mansion!" ”
