Chapter 109: Disposition
When Yuhua heard this, he immediately hugged Xiaoxiao in his arms, warmed it with his own temperature, and used his spiritual power to probe the situation in Xiaoxiao's body, however, it was useless, and there was still no clue where the crux was.
Holding Xiaoxiao lying in the quilt, looking at Xiaoxiao's eyelids about to close, Yuhua patted her hairy little face: "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao, don't fall asleep, wake up." ”
After a while, he smiled and whispered a "meow".
Yuhua smiled, it seems that he really thinks of himself as a cat, seeing that Xiaoxiao's body is no longer trembling, his heart breathes a sigh of relief, touching it is still a little cold body temperature, and suddenly feels that he has lost his temper, to put it bluntly, Xiaoxiao was originally just a jade pendant, and now, it is just a cat, why should he be so nervous about an irrelevant thing, it is really strange.
put down the smile that was sleeping soundly, and he turned over and got out of bed, and covered the kitten with a brocade quilt, with a gentle expression, just like looking at Su Xiao back then.
The life of Lingxian Mountain is very comfortable, with the compassion of the Pure Heart Pill, no, now it should be called Shi Nianqing, although he is a ghost, but relying on the nourishment of the pure spiritual power of Lingxian Mountain, the resentment on this body has retreated a lot.
And some incredible things have happened in the human world, the emperor Murong Xian, who has always ignored the government, actually began to meddle in his affairs, and asked about the Jingxin Nunnery back then.
"I don't always ask too much about the things under your hands, so I'll let you go, as long as it's not too much, I will turn a blind eye, but what have you done to me, what is the matter of the meditation nunnery, can any minister come up and explain?"
When he went to court today, Murong Xian began to look wrong, and he kept thinking about the events of that night, the wreckage piled up in the Yuanxin Forest, the chill in Murong Xian's bones was revealed, after all, he was Murong Yan's grandson, and some of the inherited blood was still there.
The ministers saw that their monarch had a rare tantrum, and they all froze in place, although the matter of Jingxin'an had no obvious relationship with the imperial court, but if it was the imperial court, it would not be like this.
The people below looked at each other, and no one refused to hit their heads up, for fear of angering Long Yan, and in the end, it was Shangshu of the Criminal Department who came forward.
"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers don't know. ”
"I don't know?" Murong Xian took a deep breath and ordered someone to move the wreckage of Yuanxinlin onto the main hall, and lifted the white cloth covering it one by one, and the wreckage almost filled the entire hall.
When they saw these shocking white bones, the ministers' eyes widened and they asked, "Your Majesty, how can such a dark thing be placed on top of the Great Hall of Deliberation and regarded as a great disrespect!"
Murong Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, there are many of these problematic officials who have assisted Emperor Ling for three generations of old ministers, they have always liked to rely on the old and sell the old, in the early years, when Murong Xian ascended the throne and was young, they have been in control of the government, and now Murong Xian has already become an adult, they said that they are old and do not want to work for the court, but they still want to eat the court's food and do not do anything.
"My lord, is that disrespectful, then, I want to ask, what is the matter with the white bones of these one hundred and twenty young women?"
"I don't know. ”
"As the secretary of the criminal department, how can you not know that such a thing happened in the realm of the capital?" Murong Xian asked rhetorically, while the secretary of the criminal department was silent, Murong Xian turned to ask the other ministers: "What about the five temples, the inspectorate, the three provinces, and the six ministries, all of them don't know?"
The ministers were silent at the moment, some did not report it, and some did not know the truth at all, Murong Xian sighed, sat on the dragon chair, and was full of emotion in his heart, looking at the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, but he didn't know who to use, he said helplessly: "One hundred and twenty people in the heart forest of the mountain behind the meditation nunnery lost their lives, and you don't even know, I really don't know what I am doing in this court to raise you." ”
"Your Majesty, Hui Ming, the abbot of the former Jingxin Nunnery, had an affair with an official, and it was really unbearable to defile the holy land of the Buddhist temple, but now there are one hundred and twenty corpses in the Yuanxin Forest, which is really the work of ghosts, so please ask Qin Tianjian to take a good look, so as not to taint the dragon body with the ghostly qi. "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is used to these tricks, and Murong Xian didn't want to pay attention to them before, but now he won't be fooled so easily.
"According to what Lord Shangshu said, this matter is just a matter of gods and ghosts?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it is exactly, Huiming was killed by the people that day, and he must come back ......"
"It's nonsense, as an official of the imperial court, you actually listen to such things all day long, I think you might as well go to cultivate the Tao!" Murong Xian was really angry, and there was no one available to the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is angry!" The Shangshu of the Criminal Department was suddenly frightened by Murong Xian's sudden anger and knelt on the ground.
Murong Xian took a deep breath, he had already made a plan in his heart, the officials involved in this matter could not be killed all at once, and now he had no henchmen among the civil officials, so he could only kill the chickens and monkeys first, Murong Xian straightened his face and said: " I have investigated it clearly a few days ago, this matter of wisdom and wisdom happened when the first emperor was in order to protect many officials, so the people went there, but then what happened in the meditation nunnery thirty years ago, I don't need to go into detail here, you should all know that this matter has been reported in Dali Temple, the Inspectorate, and the Criminal Department, why did you ignore it, and now these one hundred and twenty corpses are in front of you, won't you be cold?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers really don't know about this matter, and these things have been reported to the chief before. "The book of the criminal department is still prevaricating at this time.
However, Chu Xi, the secretary of Dali Temple, had a slightly brighter mind, knelt directly on the ground, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was newly appointed a few days ago, and I really didn't see such a case file when I looked through the file before. ”
Murong Xian raised his eyebrows, thinking that although the newly appointed Dali Siqing was rumored to be difficult to speak, his brain was still bright, unlike the previous Dali Siqing, although he said that he was a good person, but his mind was not right, I really don't know why this Chu Weiyu would let such a person take the throne instead of supporting his former son.
"Do you know why there is no file, it is because they went to the criminal department to report to the official first, but the criminal department ignored it, so our lord Shangshu united the six departments and the five temples, as well as the people from the inspectorate to ignore it, and the case was not reported, do you say there will be a file?" Murong Xian said slowly, looking at the criminal department Shangshu whose face was already pale at this moment, a sneer pulled out from the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the minister really has not done such a thing, if Your Majesty has to think so, then please hand over the evidence. ”
This criminal department Shangshu is also regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties, I don't know how much water has been collected in the court, such a general's belly, I am afraid that it will be as big as the military exploits of the Zhenguo generals who have made great achievements, it is really ridiculous, the military generals are outside to protect these civil officials, and these civil officials are full of greasy.
Murong Xian said: "Lord Shangshu doesn't have to worry, how can I be wronged casually? ”
Hearing this, Shangshu of the Criminal Department couldn't help but tremble, and then he saw the familiar face of the past, the face that should have died in the suburbs of Beijing.
Murong Xian looked at the face of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, smiled, and said to Li Xue: "Li Xue, you will repeat what you said to me yesterday. ”
"Yes. Li Xue saluted and continued: "Li Xue, a grass citizen, was the secretary of the Criminal Department thirty years ago, and he was dismissed from his position because of a single case. ”
"Li Xue, I ask you, is that case the case you are talking about the rape of women and children in the Jingxin Nunnery thirty years ago?"
"Back to the emperor, exactly. Thirty years ago, a sister-in-law who escaped from the meditation nunnery came to the Criminal Department to report the case, and the grass people felt that this matter was not trivial, so they reported it to Lord Shilang, and then Lord Shilang also reported to Lord Shangshu, but the news that came back was indeed not accepted, and the person was sent away. ”
"What's going on there?"
At that time, the grass people directly blocked people out of the door, and the rest of the matter is not clear, I only remember that Lord Shangshu gave the grass people a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, saying that the mountains were high and the water was long, so that the grass people went away, and it didn't take long for the grass people to be dismissed. Who knows, a few days later, the news of the fire in the Jingxin Nunnery came, and the grass people were uneasy, so they went to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, they met the killer, but fortunately, the grass people had a big life and fled, and the 1,000 taels of silver tickets that Lord Shangshu gave to the grass people, the grass people have not dared to use it so far. ”
"You are talking nonsense, you are spewing blood, this matter is obviously fabricated by you, you want to frame me, it is obvious that you yourself embezzled a thousand taels of the Criminal Department, and you were dismissed, what does it have to do with me!"
Yuhua kicked the criminal department Shangshu away, looked at the silent prime minister on the side, and asked, "I don't know what the prime minister's opinion is?"
"This matter is important, and the minister doesn't dare to assert it, but the emperor, there is still some leeway!"
"The Prime Minister is reasonable, I have already thought about it, come on, pass on my order, thirty years ago Jingxin'an case, the criminal department Shangshu did not report it, it was regarded as dereliction of duty, and now he will go to the post of Shangshu, go to the prison of the Criminal Department, and choose a day to ask for beheading, in addition, the five temples, the Inspectorate and the six departments and one cadre are all guilty, and they will be punished for a year, meditate on their own mistakes, and the former officials who have set up the incident have enjoyed their lives, and the general of Zhenguo can be?"
"The minister is here. ”
"I order you to strictly investigate those officials, and if there is any contact, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need to report it to me, and immediately behead it for public display. ”
"The minister commanded. ”
"Put it in Li to learn you!"
"Your Majesty, the grass people have been guilty for 30 years, and they are riddled with nightmares every day, and life is better than death. ”
"Although you have had it, you have also meritorious, and now you will not be rewarded or punished, and the previous thousand taels will be returned. ”
"Thank you, Emperor Longen. ”
Everyone thought that the announcement had been completed, but unexpectedly Murong Xian threw out another will: "I have ascertained that the maker of the Jingxin Nunnery in the past is the son of the former official department Shangshu and the former cabinet scholar, as well as the son of the richest man in the capital, and now, this one hundred and twenty human lives I want them to repay, and spread my will, the officials of these three people's families are dismissed and sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, and these three people are immediately beheaded, the female dependents in the palace are official prostitutes, and all the finances in the palace are filled into the treasury, if there are any more opponents, the same." Retreat from the dynasty!" Murong Xian walked away, leaving a group of officials embarrassed, it seems that this civil official is going to have a big change of blood this time.
