Chapter 96: Accountability
After Qin Yuan woke up, he lay in the side room of the paddock for a long time.
When the sky was a little dark, he returned to the city with the emperor's chariot.
After all, after this incident, this winter hunt can't be done anyway.
After going back, everyone will understand in their hearts that this government is probably going to be a mess.
In this winter hunt, the children of the family are all in trouble.
Regardless of the concubine, this behavior is clearly a slap in the face of the patriarchs of these big families.
The Gyeonggi battalion was in charge of this winter hunting, and there should have been such a mistake, but it happened to happen during Xie Shen's tenure.
No matter what the matter turns out to be, Xie Shen's dereliction of duty is inevitable.
Everyone knows that this matter is definitely not as simple as it seems.
However, Xie Shen has been with Jianye Hou for a lifetime, and this matter can be seen from the bright side, and the point pointed to is Jianye Hou's family.
It's just that Qin Yuan's injury is the biggest suspicion this time.
What's more, this matter definitely can't be a bitter ploy. Who in Beijing doesn't know that the heirs of the Jianye Hou family are thin, and the only children are Qin Yuan and Qin Ran.
No matter how talented Qin Ran is in the military, she is just a woman.
Jianye Hou would never let his son suffer such a big grievance.
So, under this heavy cloud and mist, what is the face?
When everyone returned to the city, it was already the hour of the stars and the moon.
Those elders, after sending their children back to the mansion, hurried into the palace.
Looking at this posture, it is necessary to seek justice for his children.
When Gu Yan arrived in the city, he went to the palace without stopping.
After Qin Ran sent Qin Yuan back to the house, he instructed Xun Lu to take care of him, and then also entered the palace.
Because Qin Ran knew that the biggest target of this matter was the Jianye Hou family, if she didn't go into the palace to take a look, there would be no source of information.
The Hou Mansion was already so busy that he looked around, but he couldn't even rely on anyone except himself.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
......
The imperial study in the palace was also brightly lit, and the emperor did not rest, and went straight to the imperial study.
Concubine Yun personally tightened the emperor's cloak and said with a smile.
"Then the concubine will go back to the palace first."
"Rest early, you're frightened today."
The emperor patted Concubine Yun's hand and said comfortingly.
Concubine Yun nodded softly, got into the sedan chair, and left.
The emperor's soft face suddenly stiffened, "Let's go." ”
"Yes."
The Emperor entered the imperial study, walked to the top and sat down.
He looked coldly at the old men with angry faces.
"Aiqing, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, today's matter, General Xie Shen's crime cannot be released, and the minister hopes that His Majesty will severely punish him!"
"Your Majesty, the old minister is such a sister-in-law, and the lady is also very precious, and now that he has been seriously injured, the old minister must be fair."
This pavilion elder knelt down tremblingly, crying together.
Qin Ran and Gu Yan sat together, chuckling in their hearts.
It seems that this time the matter is not easy to deal with.
The most important thing is His Majesty's attitude, this matter can be big or small, at best, it will shake the fortunes of the country, and at worst, it will just be a ferocious beast going crazy, and the emperor will be compassionate about it, and everyone will forget it after a while.
But...
Shang Shuling had already come, sitting on the chair, sipping tea, with a slight smile in his eyes, glancing at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran immediately understood that the appearance of these pavilion elders now, and Shang Shuling must have an inseparable relationship.
"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to give justice to the minister."
"Your Majesty!"
These pavilion elders said more miserable than the other, looking at the appearance, if the emperor did not agree, he would grab the ground with his head and die in this imperial study.
The emperor was noisy and had a headache, looked at Shang Shuling, and then looked at Gu Yan and Qin Ran.
"Gu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Gu Yan took a step forward and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, this matter is for General Xie's dereliction of duty, and it should be punished. It's just that Your Majesty doesn't think that this incident is too strange? ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say."
Qin Ran stepped forward and arched his hand, and motioned for Gu Yan to go down with his eyes.
"General Qin, Xie Shen came out of your Qin family's army, are you sure that what you say will not be biased?"
Shang Shuling said lightly.
"Right and wrong, everything is determined by Your Majesty. It's Lord Shang Shuling, who let me go down in such a hurry, but what is the ulterior secret? ”
Qin Ran sneered.
"Your Majesty, the minister will never dare."
Shang Shuling stood up, knelt down and said.
"Okay, okay, you all step back first, let Qin Aiqing finish speaking."
The Emperor waved his hand.
"Qin Aiqing, what do you think, say it."
The emperor's attitude towards Qin Ran was good, and he asked gently.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be investigated deeply. The prey of winter hunting is hunted in advance and put into the forest, how can there be crazy beasts? Moreover," Qin Ran looked around, curling the corners of his lips, "The sons of the Pavilion family are not worried about their lives. But Weichen's brother will never be able to ride and shoot again for the rest of his life. ”
After saying this, Qin Ran's eyes became very sad, and the emperor was really distressed when he saw it.
"Aiqing mourns, I will definitely compensate the distant son and let him be glorious for a lifetime."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Ran bowed deeply.
"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."
Gu Yan also stood up at the right time and arched his hand.
"Listen to Qin Aiqing's words, there are indeed many suspicious points in this way, so check it well, and it will definitely come to light!"
The emperor made the final decision.
"Your Majesty, what about General Xie Shen?"
"Naturally, it should be punished, whether anyone intentionally did it or not, it was General Xie Shen's dereliction of duty, Your Majesty, did you say?"
"Shang Shuling is reasonable, this, how should it be punished?"
"The minister suggested, it is better to remove General Xie Shen from the position of the chief general of the Gyeonggi battalion, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"
"This..."
The emperor hesitated.
Xie Shen's ability is obvious to all, he has been the commander of the Gyeonggi battalion for many years, and he has never had an accident.
If he is dismissed for this dereliction of duty, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers.
Moreover, the emperor glanced at Qin Ran.
Xiao Ran's side, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain.
"Aiqing's rewards and punishments are clear, I know, but the commission is a little heavier. I decided to punish Xie Shen's Yulu for one year, and let me make meritorious service to the crime. ”
The Emperor said.
When they heard this, they knew that the holy will had been decided, and that it was impossible to change it, so they arose and spoke.
"Your Majesty is truly merciful."
Shang Shuling had an expected look, and after sitting down, he didn't speak.
"If there is nothing important, Huasheng will go and announce the decree. It's late at night, so let's step down. ”
The emperor was also a little tired, and waved his hand.
As soon as these words came out, everyone withdrew.
