His Majesty's Luan arrived at the city gate, and Pei Xu stood quietly among the hundred officials, silently staring at the huge honor guard. As a fifth-grade official, he could only watch the emperor's figure from the depths of the crowd.

Pei Xu didn't feel far in his heart, and in the future, he would also stand in front and be a prime minister of extreme people.

This section of the road is very long, and it is difficult for those in front to walk slowly, and for those behind to go fast. Just like in life, there is always someone in front of him who presses him, and he has to do everything he has to climb to it.

At the court meeting, he stated what the prince did when he was in charge of the country, and said good things about the prince. However, it is not blindly boasting, there are praises and disparages, and it is very comprehensive.

Emperor Zhao Yan only nodded slightly, as if satisfied.

Subsequently, the ministers and laborers fought famines, droughts and floods. There was a great drought in Guanzhong, the Yellow River burst its embankment, and the state rebelled, and the people in Jiannan revolted. To put it simply, it is the turmoil in Daqi, which has just been founded, and disasters continue to occur. However, for the court, these are all settled matters.

Except for the civil uprising in Jiannan Province, the rest are not to be worried.

After the emperor heard this, he only slightly dismissed the characters, and everything was handed over to the deposed secretary.

When he was about to retire from the court, he heard: "Your Majesty, the minister has a watch." ”

This seems to be the voice of Zhong Chuqin!

"The minister wants to impeach Xiao Cavalry Captain Guo Baoyi. This is the minister's recital. ”

The emperor looked at the back and looked gloomy.

The next thing is even more indignant, "Guo Baoyi's younger brother, Guo Mingda, a foreigner, is a guard of honor and sells Guo's prestige and sells his official beard, and makes huge profits from it." When Dali Temple was picketed, it was found out that he was involved in the case of the assassination of Shi Cui Liang in Bingzhou. After Guo Mingda was imprisoned, the officials of the Criminal Department found that it was not him who was in prison, but the village man who received money from his brother. ”

Three years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Daqi actually bought his life with money, and it was Guo Baoyi who was involved.

Although the emperor did not speak clearly, he was actually dissatisfied with the truth in his heart. "Since such a major event has happened, it is necessary for the company to investigate it thoroughly."

This court meeting has completely changed its flavor because of Zhong Chuqin's appearance.

"Zhongshu Sheren," the prince rarely called the official name.

"Your Highness."

"I didn't expect that there would be a horrific case, and I didn't know it at all. I, the prince, was played by them like an ornament. ”

Zhao Rui was so helpless, and it was the first time he had seen him.

Pei Xu couldn't comfort anything, "You don't have to blame yourself." ”

"Prince, it is the prince who should take on this responsibility. Waiting to admit your mistake to everyone. Stand corrected. ”

"Your Highness, I will do everything I can to help you."

Zhao Rui took a deep breath. Not now

"Let's talk about it."

Guo Baoyi's younger brother Guo Mingda, a member of the household department, relied on Wang Qingzhi and Guo Baoyi to have a bright future, but he became more and more bold, and he dared to sell his official beard. A county lieutenant can become a county lieutenant as long as he pays 30,000 yuan. ”

Zhao Rui said indignantly: "Ridiculous! He slapped the table angrily, "You go on, say whatever you know." ”

Zhong Chuqin couldn't get used to Guo Baoyi's actions, so he deliberately wanted to pull Guo Baoyi down. But, I don't think it's that simple. ”

Zhao Rui calmed down, "A layman can influence local officials. Tell me about buying life with money. ”

Guo Mingda was impeached by the people of Yushitai, and at this time, Du Zhilangzhong, who had never been on good terms with him, immediately reported to the investigators that he had had dealings with the thieves in the past. Yushi dug out the letters from his home, as well as various seals, and naturally confirmed the crime. After being questioned, Guo Mingda's family confessed Guo Mingda's involvement with the thief, which further confirmed his crime of treason. ”

Zhao Rui nodded, "Go on." ”

Dali Temple immediately took him, convicted him, and then handed him over to the Criminal Department. When the Criminal Department tried the case, it was found that it was not Guo Mingda in prison at all, but a rural villager who received money to take the blame for others. Pei Xu added: "I don't know if it's an omission in Dali Temple, or someone has changed the people in the prison." In short, this is the most incredible case since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty. ”

"Who is the country man?"

Pei Xu shook his head, "I don't know, I said that my family was poor, I had a high hall and children, and I chose to die for Guo Mingda out of desperation." ”

Zhao Rui was anxious, so he asked, "What's his name?" Who is it? Who are the people of the three tribes? ”

"His name is Li Shunde, and he is a native of Linfen, Jinzhou. For generations of poverty, their ancestors were farmers. ”

"What's going on at home? Has anyone ever blackmailed him? ”

Pei Xu said in a deep voice: "His old mother lingered on the sickbed, saying that she would live in a few days. There were many children, and they were afraid that they would not be able to support them, so they were sold to large families as slaves and maids. ”

Zhao Rui weighed his words, "According to what you say, Li Shunde accepted money to make a scapegoat so that he could treat his mother's illness?" ”

Pei Xu looked at him, "Yes." ”

"Pei Qing, what do you think?"

"It's hard to say." Pei Xu bowed his head and said.

Zhao Rui said lightly: "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

"There are three places to be questioned. The first is that Guo Baoyi and Guo Mingda have never understood each other since they were brothers, and he should not suddenly help his brother who is about to be executed. Moreover, rebellion is the first of the ten evils, Guo Mingda is the person who participated in Cui Liang's rebellion, and he will definitely die after the East Window incident. No matter how stubborn Guo Baoyi is, he will not be partial in this and lead the fire to himself. ”

Zhao Rui raised his forehead, "That's right, I've never heard of Guo Baoyi and Guo Mingda having dealings." ”

"In the second place, Guo Mingda, a member of the household department, can't dispatch officials at all, and it is impossible that no one will support him later. The minister just wanted to know who was the one who gave him something to fear. ”

Zhao Rui sneered: "I also want to know who can manipulate so many foreign officials." ”

"In the third place, the trial case was first disposed of by Dali Temple. The person is not Guo Mingda, so why does Dali Temple still mistake Li Shunde for Guo Mingda himself? Dali Siqing and Dali Shaoqing were wrong several times, and the prince should hold them accountable first. ”

Zhao Rui nodded, "Reasonable, they are the most suspicious." It is necessary to hold Dali Temple accountable before there are traces. ”

Wan Zhao tossed and turned at night, and he didn't fall asleep no matter how he lay down.

Today she actually bumped into Pei Xu, the wall-grass that fell with the wind. She remembered that he was the one who introduced her to Zhao Rui at that time, and it could be said that he was the culprit of her misfortune in her life. They should be able to see each other again tomorrow, they had met once at the banquet set by the old lady before, and the self-righteous Pei Xu revealed to the prince.

"Girl, drink some soothing tea." Liudan laughed.

She took a sip, "Alas, I've been very stuffy this night, and I've been lying down for almost half an hour, and I don't mean to sleep." ”

"You're worried about meeting the Pei Sheren today." Liudan teased.

"Okay, you're a Dan girl, it's really bad." Wan Zhao blushed.

Liu Dan sat down, "I understand half of the girl's thoughts, although the palace compound is good, it is not as good as being an ordinary woman." ”
