Chapter 676: Verdict
The next day, Chen Letian really took a day to accompany the prince to relieve his boredom.
The most proud thing in this life is that he has raised a large number of rare beasts. Chen Letian had already heard about the tiger house, so as soon as he saw the prince handing over the carefully prepared small gift, he immediately asked the prince: "Lord Wang, the lower official has long wanted to go to see the tiger house, can you take the lower official to have a look?"
This question is to fight on the road of Wang Ye's boxing, and Wang Ye likes people to ask him about the tiger room. Naturally, he would not refuse Chen Letian's request at the moment, and happily took Chen Letian to the tiger room to see.
Although Chen Letian said that he was not interested in these things, after all, the tiger house was a rare thing, and even the tiger Chen Letian who was relatively the most likely to see had never seen it, so he really opened his eyes. Besides, in order to make the prince happy, he also had to make himself appear eye-opening.
What an elephant, what a white wolf, what a golden monkey... Many of them are unheard of animals.
If you really want to make a fool of yourself, Chen Letian, who has read a lot, is still not bad, and this tiger house is really the only one in the world, so Chen Letian directly praised the prince and couldn't find the north in the clouds.
"Lord Wang, you see that this white elephant is so mighty, sitting here, the lower officials feel very similar to the prince, sitting on the throne is extremely majestic..."
"This snake from the West is highly poisonous? If you bite a stick of incense, you will definitely die? This is also terrible, faster than the most poisonous poison in the world, you can get it..."
"How much money, how much time, how much manpower and material resources do you have to spend on this, my lord?"
The prince patted Chen Letian on the shoulder and said: "The widow has lived for decades, and finally met a confidant, a confidant like Lord Chen, can understand the widow so much, the widow is really... Why didn't you meet Master Chen earlier? ”
Lord Chen took the prince's arm and said: "People in the world have never looked at a person's achievements, but they don't know that there is a difference between achievements and achievements, is a person's greatest achievement is fame and fortune? The lower officials admired the prince's free and easy, and the lower officials also admired the prince's toughness, and the lower officials were even more sad that the prince was not easy..."
This middle-aged man who has been in the Shu Palace all his life was moved to tears at this moment in the day.
Everyone in the world says that the King of Shu is incompetent, but who knows what he, the prince, really wants, and who knows how he struggles to survive in such a seemingly big but small crack.
But this Lord Chen seems to really understand him.
"My lord, we can't say too much. But it is not easy for the lower officials to see the prince, and others think that the prince has a good life and what he wants, but the lower officials know that this is not the case. The prince is walking on thin ice, and no one knows about it..."Chen Letian sighed.
became the prince's confidant, Chen Letian was pestered by the prince every day for three days, and Chen Letian was very helpless, and even regretted that he played the prince's confidant too similarly, causing the prince to really regard him as a confidant.
Finally got rid of the queen of the prince.
Chen Letian still has to deal with the last thing. That is the question of the verdict of these guilty officials. Since the court gave him and the governor and the prince the decision, and the prince and the governor gave him all the power, he could only reluctantly do it.
Of course, Chen Letian did this matter with the imperial historians, and even mainly let the imperial historians make up their minds, after all, the imperial historians were very proficient in this kind of judgment.
The results came out quickly.
Most of the officials were demoted to the confiscation of commoners' property. A small number of people were exiled to the army.
There were seven or eight people who beheaded them. These seven or eight people were not enough to cut off their heads three times, or they embezzled huge amounts of money or boiled over local people's resentment. These people sent by Chen Letian to investigate before.
The eyes of the people are bright. The good officials in the mouths of the people are not necessarily really good officials, such as Cao Xianling, but the people say that this person is a corrupt official bully, so this person must really be a corrupt official bully. Because the people are the best to fool, if you let the people say that you are not good, it means that you are not even bothered to fool, which means that you are bad to a certain extent.
Basically, the penalty is determined according to two aspects. The first is the severity of the crime committed. The second is the mouth of the people. The latter is decided by Chen Letian's opinion, and the former is determined by the confession. A combination of both.
Most of the officials thought that they were in a catastrophe this time, and they were all ready to kill their heads, and the only thing that made them happy was that the Prime Minister Yushi promised me that as long as we honestly confessed our guilt, our wives and children would be saved. So the only meaning of everyone now is that although they are about to be beheaded, their families are still there, and they are fortunate in misfortune.
It turned out that there were only a few people who wanted to be beheaded, some of them were exiled to the army, and most of them were just cut off and confiscated for the people's property. That's great, isn't it?
Therefore, as soon as the Prime Minister Yamen spoke, many of these people cried in their respective houses on the spot. Thank you, Your Majesty, the Imperial Court, and Lord Chen.
Reborn parents.
Of course, this is another conspiracy of Chen Letian.
In the past, I intimidated them a lot, and the purpose of ventriloquism was not only to deter them from confessing at that time, but also to create a kind of understanding for them, you are all fucking farts in my Chen Letian's eyes, and that's it if I beat you to death, is the background of the military empty?
Put enough pressure on them at the beginning to think they're doomed. They can't afford to have the slightest idea of survival.
And then, at the last moment, suddenly tell them that there are only a few of you who are heinous and will be beheaded, and the rest will live.
This gap will undoubtedly make them grateful, and thus have a deep gratitude for Chen Letian.
Chen Letian submitted all the opinions of the Prime Minister's Imperial History Yamen to the imperial court, and only two days later, His Majesty's handwritten decree came down.
Chen Letian was rewarded in the holy decree, saying that Chen Letian did a good job as the prime minister of the imperial history this time, and these problems in Shu were also solved very properly. Including the final verdict, it is basically on the score, and there is no messy judgment.
At the same time, he also commended these middle-level imperial histories of the Imperial History Tower, because Chen Letian put almost all the credit for decision-making on these ten imperial histories, all the credit for suppressing bandits on the head of the Northern Army, and all the logistics support work on the head of the palace and the governor's palace.
And of course, His Majesty understands that this is just Chen Letian's modesty, so he doesn't mention the slightest credit for himself.
That's the real invitation. Put all the credit on others but not mention yourself, and in fact the problem is solved so beautifully, then anyone can understand that the biggest credit is him, the head of the prime minister's imperial history.
His Majesty only verbally rewarded everyone in the holy decree, and said in the holy decree that the rewards would come later, and of course there were rewards for the two lords of the Governor's Mansion and the Shu Wang's Mansion. Rewards from the Northern Army will be sent directly to the Northern Army.
As for Lord Yushi and Chen Letian, especially Chen Letian's reward is to wait for Chen Letian to return to Beijing, and I want to see Chen Letian.
The royal historians congratulated Chen Letian one after another, saying that Lord Chen had made such an immortal achievement, and this time it was a matter of success. Don't forget about us in the future.
Chen Letian said in a panic that you don't want to laugh at me, I can't eat it. He didn't even think about anything that was going well, so he hurriedly changed the topic and ran away.
