Chapter 604: Heavy punishment of the national abbot

When the emperor heard the emperor and Zhang Zi singing together, he seemed to have found the source of the problem, and guessed that the loss of the gold medal was related to the emperor. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Guozhang is greedy for money, not stupid. Seeing that the emperor set up such a big formation to deal with him, he understood that the emperor had two purposes. The first is to take the opportunity to withdraw the gold medal for avoiding death, so that he has no advantage. The second is to make him bleed and bleed heavily.

The emperor really regrets it now, and the emperor has repeatedly hinted that he will take out some gold and silver to enrich the treasury. He pretended to be stupid and stunned, and he didn't pull out a dime. Looking at it now, not only do you have to pluck the hair, but you can also be stripped off if you don't get the skin.

Although the prince was distressed about money, he knew that if he accepted the punishment, he would be demoted to the common people. If this is the case, not only will his family wealth not be able to be kept at all, but the status of the queen will be threatened. Thinking about the stakes, he had to say bitterly: "Your Majesty, I will pay the fine." ”

"Hey. He gave me a problem. The emperor pretended to sigh and asked Zhang Zi in a helpless tone: "Zhang Zi, how much silver do you think you should fine?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Zizhen was a little embarrassed, which was too offensive. But the emperor wanted to say it through his mouth, but he had no choice but to say the number: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the law ingot, I think you can be fined four hundred." ......。 ”

When Zhang Zi said "four hundred", his words paused, and he did not say the measure words and suffix nouns after "four hundred".

This is also where Zhang Zi practiced, it depends on the emperor's face. If the emperor wants to be punished more, he will say, "Four hundred taels of gold." If the emperor wants to punish less, he will say, "Four hundred taels of silver." ”

The emperor immediately took Zhang Zi's words and said, "Zhang Zi." You mean that according to the law you should be fined four million taels of gold. Right?"

The emperor's words made Zhang Zi stunned, he really didn't expect the emperor to do such a black hand to his father-in-law. Now it's clear why the emperor let the gold medal be stolen with a knife. Because of the gold and silver, you can't do it by stealing, unless you go to a large army to rob it.

Although Zhang Zi felt that the emperor was black, he thought that the emperor had done nothing wrong. Relying on the prestige of the emperor and the queen, the emperor scavenged money everywhere, and often went to the emperor to cry poor and take money from the treasury. Now that the court is in turmoil, he has to vomit some.

Since Zhang Zi has made a black face, he simply did it to the end, so he replied to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the principle is like this. ”

Prime Minister Zhang Cheng listened beside him, and thought to himself: "Your Majesty, you can pit my son." Who else knows me with the law, how can the law have such a provision? ”

Although Prime Minister Zhang Cheng felt that the emperor had done too much, he knew in his heart that the emperor had done a good job of detaining the country, how dare Prime Minister Zhang talk more. As I said, my family has donated so much, and it is also appropriate to let the national abbot give some blood.

Thinking about the stakes, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng lowered his head and let the emperor and Zhang Zi sing and act.

Li Potian is not very familiar with the law, and he really thinks that there is this. But his relationship with the national abbot is very ordinary, and of course he will not stand up for the national abbot. also learned from Zhang Chengxiang, bowed his head and listened.

If these two important ministers don't come out, the other ministers won't touch their heads, they all stay honestly and don't say a word.

The emperor didn't care what the minister thought, he was still acting: "After all, the prince is my dearest relative, and he really acts according to the law, which seems to be ruthless." ”

"Well, it's hard. The emperor sighed again, and thought for a while before making up his mind: "I mean halving, and the fine is two million taels of gold." Prime Minister Zhang, General Li, Uncle Huang, Zhang Zi, you all show your attitude and see if there is any deviation in my decision. ”

When Prime Minister Zhang heard the emperor call his name, he hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, it's good to do this." It not only embodies the royal road of 'the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people', but also shows the benevolence of His Majesty. Good, good. ”

Li Potian does not have the literary talent of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, so he can only pat the emperor's ass: "Your Majesty is wise, I completely agree." ”

Uncle Huang Lao Cheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty's decision is very correct. The minister advised His Majesty to publish this part of the law to the courtiers to make them vigilant. ”

The emperor thanked the emperor uncle in his heart, knowing that there was no such law, so he asked the emperor to make up for it quickly, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public.

The emperor echoed the emperor's uncle's words and said, "The emperor's proposal is very good. Zhang Zi, you are given three days to sort out these laws, refine them, and then publish them to the public. ”

"Obey. After Zhang Zi answered, he thought: "You have to hurry up, otherwise the emperor will wake up and check the law, and the emperor will be passive." ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the emperor said to the emperor's uncle: "Uncle emperor, I have to trouble you in this matter." You go home with the ruler and take the fine and hand it over to the treasury. ”

Uncle Huang is in charge of the internal affairs office, and it is incumbent on him to step forward and reply: "The minister obeys the order." Then he said to the abbot, "Abbot, let's go." ”

After the emperor left, the emperor continued: "Although the emperor is guilty of losing the things given by the emperor, it does not mean that the thieves will go unpunished. Teng Snake County Guard. ”

Now Teng Snake County has the heart to die, and he can't get rid of such a big case in the territory under his jurisdiction. Hearing the emperor call him, he knew that it was time to clean him up after cleaning up, so he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please punish you for your dereliction of duty." ”

How do you know that the emperor is very considerate of the Teng Snake County Guard: "The eighteen county guards of the imperial court are the most difficult for you to be." You won't be responsible for the specific arrest of the thieves this time. What you need to do is immediately block the nine gates and strictly check the people who go out of the city. ”

Teng Snake County Shou was almost moved to cry, and hurriedly thanked him for going on an errand.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "The theft of the gold medal for avoiding death this time is too strange, and it may be difficult to solve the case with official errands." You have to find some special people to come forward, and maybe you can find out the truth. ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Zhang Zi: "Zhang Zi, I heard that your fiancΓ©e has surrendered six rivers and lakes. ”

Zhang Zi then staged with the emperor: "Go back to Your Majesty." My fiancΓ©e Ling Feiyan did surrender six heroes of the rivers and lakes, and the eldest brother called a knife to behead. Since his surrender, he has devoted himself to serving the imperial court. ”

"The prodigal son will not change his money, good. After praising him, the emperor asked, "I want them to be responsible for investigating this matter, can you find them?"

Zhang Zi smiled in his heart: "Your Majesty, you can really pretend, then I have to pretend." ”

Zhang Zi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I slashed the six brothers with one knife and just went with me to disaster relief a few days ago. They are in the capital right now, and they want to wait for me to leave after the wedding. ”

Zhang Zi told the truth, but let the people present listen, the emperor really didn't know that a knife was in the capital now.

The emperor was happy and ordered: "Zhang Zi, you invite the six of you immediately." See if they can solve the case. ”

The six brothers were taken to the Golden Palace, as if they were very scared, and knelt down and shouted: "The emperor, the six brothers of the grass people have kowtowed to you with a knife." ”

The emperor seemed to be afraid of scaring his brothers, and said very kindly: "I heard that you are very familiar with the characters in the rivers and lakes. Now the gold medal of the national abbot is free from death, and some precious treasures have been stolen. I command your six brothers to hunt down the thieves. ”

He pretended to be confused and said: "The emperor, the grass people want to do their best for the court." It's just that this matter is too big, and I have to say a few more words. ”

The courtiers all snickered when they saw the emperor who was a few years older than the emperor and called the old man.

Zhang Zi said: "With a knife, you should call the emperor Your Majesty." ”

The emperor was very generous, waved his hand, and signaled Zhang Zi to shut up: "Zhang Zi, a knife is not a courtier, they can shout as much as they want." ”

A knife slashed happily and said, "Thank you, old man emperor." ”

The emperor said patiently: "One slash, if you have anything unclear, just ask." ”

He said with a slash: "The emperor, I want to ask, what is the use of the gold medal for avoiding death, what does it look like, and what is it made of?"

Hearing such a question, the emperor was happy, knowing that a knife cut was very good, of course he would cooperate: "Zhang Zi, you answer the question of a knife cut." ”

Zhang Zide caught the ball: "A slash, I'll tell you." The Gold Medal for Avoiding Death is a royal gift from His Majesty the Emperor to meritorious ministers. Whoever holds this card is exempt from death regardless of the number of sins he commits. ”

Interrupting Zhang Zi's words with a slash, he asked: "If someone wants to be the emperor, they can't die with this gold medal?"

When the courtiers heard the words of the slash, they realized why the emperor punished the emperor so much, this thing is too important.

Zhang Zi didn't dare to answer, and the emperor spoke: "One slash, you're right." Whoever holds this card can only die a natural death, and I cannot kill him. ”

A knife nodded and said, "The grass people understand." ”

Zhang Zi took the sketch of the death-free gold medal from his hand and sent it to Yidao: "This is the sketch of the death-free gold medal, you can see it clearly." It will be useful when it is detected in the future. ”

Yidao looked at the sketch very seriously, and felt that he had memorized it before saying, "The grass people remember." ”

Zhang Zi collected the draft drawings and said: "As for the materials for the production of the gold, it is very ordinary, the backbone is cast iron, and the outside is gilded. ”

After listening to Zhang Zi's words, he said to the emperor: "The emperor's old man, I judge that the person who steals the gold medal from death is not a person in the rivers and lakes. ”

The emperor asked strangely: "You are so sure, be reasonable." ”

A knife said: "The people in the rivers and lakes only like gold and silver wealth, and are not interested in things like death-free gold medals." Only those who seek great things and are afraid of failure will find such a talisman. ”

The emperor asked: "The father-in-law's family has also lost valuable treasures." Isn't it a gold medal for thieves to stop by when they steal treasure?"

It seems that the emperor is very talented in learning, and the Shunzi he learned yesterday is still being applied today.

With a slash, he denied: "The emperor's old man." I'm a thief by training, and I do this a lot. If I stole it, I wouldn't go with something worthless. I will try my best to get something valuable and without trouble. ”

The emperor echoed and said, "There is some truth in what you said. Then he asked: "According to what you mean, the thieves are specially here to steal the gold medal for avoiding death, but the Guozhang family has lost so many treasures, how can you explain it?"

He replied with confidence: "This is a thief's diversion target." When they steal, they carry valuable treasures with them, and they will direct their attention to the people in the rivers and lakes. So that you will never find a gold medal for avoiding death. ”
