Chapter 403: Forming a New Department
Half a month later, King Qi returned from disaster relief. It should have been jubilant, but the person who robbed the disaster silver and food had not been caught, and Emperor Yuchen was very angry and ordered the criminal department to solve the case within a time limit.
However, this clue is always intermittent, once there is a new discovery, it seems that the other party has noticed it, and then throws a false clue, and the criminal department has run a lot of wrongful roads, so inaction, not only Emperor Yuchen, even the people feel that the people in this criminal department are really inactive.
"Lord Wang, it's been so long, and the person who robbed the disaster silver and food hasn't been caught yet, and the people are complaining about the Criminal Department." Remnant Wind said respectfully.
"Hmph, the people in the Criminal Department are originally a bunch of waste, although Hu Shangshu is a righteous gentleman, but he is just doing things for his own use, and there is a shit-stirring stick Xiao Tianlu there." With a dog's tail in his mouth, he said suspiciously.
"The people in the Criminal Department are not all waste, only generals with bad soldiers, and no stupid soldiers. A good knife should be used in key places. Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Princess, what do you mean......" Lei Ming said as he looked at Ling Ruoyi with wide eyes. He knows very well that the princess is a very smart woman, so she must have a plan in her heart, but now the person in charge of the criminal department is King Rui's father-in-law, and if he wants to change someone, I'm afraid King Rui will not agree so easily.
"I mean, since the Criminal Department is useless, it is better to ask the emperor to order the formation of a team dedicated to investigating major and important cases, and this team is directly under the command of the emperor, so there is no need to worry about other senior officials putting pressure on them."
"Huh? It's a good idea, but can the emperor agree? Thunder scratched his head.
"Lei Ming, if you give me that mother, the emperor will definitely be able to agree. Think about it, every time the emperor is in trouble, isn't it solved only after listening to the advice of our prince and princess? Therefore, this proposal will definitely be approved by the emperor. Remnant Wind said lightly.
Thinking about it, every time Emperor Yuchen is in trouble, he will ask King Qi and Princess Qi for help, as if the husband and wife are solving problems for them.
"Well, I think it's okay, if you can really select some talents who are useful to the country, it is indeed a good thing. In this way, I will mention this matter to the imperial brother tomorrow and see what the imperial brother thinks. King Qi said lightly.
"Well, then I'll wait for news from my husband."
"Okay, wait for my good news, it's just ...... You've got to tell me, what are you going to call this department? ”
"Hmm......" Ling Ruoyi thought about it, what should I choose a name? Sticky rods? No, no, it's not the Yongzheng Dynasty, by the way, it's called six doors, although it is a matter of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, but the six doors sound much more domineering than the sticky pole.
Thinking of this, Ling Ruoxuan said lightly, "Six Doors, what do you think?" ”
"Six doors?" Everyone said in unison. Obviously, Ling Ruohui could already see their surprise from their expressions, and it seemed that he had to explain to them what the six doors were.
Thinking of this, Ling Ruoyi said lightly: "Yes, six doors." ”
"Princess, why are it not seven or eight doors, or five doors, why are you called six doors? Could it be that there can only be six doors in this place? Mu'er tilted her head in thought. She couldn't figure out why it had to be six doors.
After listening to Mu'er's question, Ling Ruoyi's head suddenly showed three black lines of different lengths, this girl is too imaginative, there are seven doors and eight doors, why don't you say a hundred doors.
Immediately, King Qi said lightly: "In order to show majesty and magnificence, the yamen will open six more doors. In this complex, the various portals are of course of paramount importance. But the most important thing is the gate on the central axis, the instrument gate, and the house gate.
The only entrance and exit of the outer wall of the entire yamen is the gate located directly south of the central axis. This gate, also called the "head gate", is not a simple doorway, but a building with a roof. Its shape is strictly restricted by laws and etiquette, and no matter how big the state or county, the gate can only be three bays. Each room has two black lacquer doors, a total of six doors, so it is called "six doors".
That's right, to put it simply, "six doors" refers to what the people call fast catchers and servants. However, this "six doors" usually only take over the arrest of important criminals who have long been wanted by the government and some large-scale cases, as long as they have sufficient evidence, then they can directly report to the emperor without going through the three law divisions, and kill those important criminals of the court who are not bound by life and death. "The rights and abilities of the six doors have a lot to do with the emperor's support, so letting the emperor personally lead can strengthen the consolidation of imperial power, and these people are all the emperor's cronies." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
At this time, they understood the true meaning of the six doors, "So, the princess wants to build his own team of his own for the emperor?" Mu Erhu said suspiciously.
"Well, that's right, it's really teachable. With these six gates, it will be much easier to trace the whereabouts of the disaster relief silver and the disaster food. ”
"Well, the lady's idea must work. You really surprise me every time. King Qi said with a smile.
Hearing the word surprise, Ling Ruoyi suddenly thought of something, stood up, and paced back and forth in front of King Qi, "Lady, if you have anything to say, walking back and forth in front of me, I am dizzy." ”
"You wrote to me before that you were going to surprise me when you came back, where was the surprise?" Ling Ruoyi raised her eyebrows and said.
"Surprise? What a surprise, the husband doesn't remember such a thing. King Qi spread his hands and said with a very aggrieved look.
"Hmph, Mu'er, go to my dressing table drawer and bring the letter from the prince a few days ago." Ling Ruoyi pouted. I really didn't expect it, this King Qi didn't admit it, it was really undisciplined.
Ling Ruoyi suddenly unfolded the letter, and shook it in front of King Qi and said: "In black and white, the prince can't deny it, is it really good for you to deceive a woman like this?" ”
King Qi took the letter, put it on the table casually, pulled Ling Ruoyi over, sat on his lap, and said softly: "I haven't forgotten the surprise I want to give you, but I was delayed by some things, and as for the surprise, I will take you to see it soon." ”
"Well, that's okay, you can't lie to me." Ling Ruoyi pointed at King Qi with one hand and said lightly.
"I don't lie to you, I don't lie to you, what are you lying to do?" King Qi said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't lie to me, start now, if you don't care about you now, maybe you will deceive me more in the future." Ling Ruohui glanced at King Qi and said.
"I really don't lie to you, the surprise I want to give you is a valley, with beautiful mountains and rivers, small bridges and flowing waters, and beautiful scenery, and when this matter is resolved, I will tell the royal brother, don't let me manage so many things, just let me be an idle prince, we are in that valley, and it is good to live some idle days."
"Yes, okay." Ling Ruoyi smiled faintly.
Early the next morning, King Qi came back from the palace, "Lady, I proposed to the imperial brother the matter of forming six gates, and the imperial brother agreed. ”
"Well, it's good to agree, why are you still unhappy?" Ling Ruoyi wondered.
"If you want me to say, you're just making trouble for yourself. The imperial brother said, since you proposed the formation of the six gates, then you must be very clear about the process of forming the six gates, so ah, he left the formation and management of the six doors to you. King Qi said helplessly.
"Hmph, don't worry about this, it's not difficult to set up the six doors, just leave it to the remnants of the wind to do it." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Give it to the remnants? So what if I need someone here? ”
"Actually, to set up Six Doors, I just want them to have an official position, so that it will be much easier for them to investigate the case."
"Lady, now the power in our hands is too great, I am worried that the imperial brother will be suspicious, for the sake of our idle clouds and wild cranes in the future, don't put shackles on ourselves anymore." King Qi said lightly.
He is a prince, he has 500,000 military power in his hands, and most of the Praetorian Guards in the palace are also trained and promoted by him, how can he not worry Emperor Yuchen.
"Husband, don't you worry, didn't everything we did before just to let the imperial brother let down his guard? Besides, we are helping him consolidate the imperial power, if he does not trust us, then we will hand over all the rights, and then go into seclusion, even if he has any difficulties, kneel down and beg us, just leave him alone. Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"But after all, this is the Yun family's country, I can't watch the Yun family's country defeat. Before, the imperial brother was very new to me, but I was very puzzled why the imperial brother was suspicious of me in the past six months. ”
"Isn't that simple? It's all because of that concubine, now that Concubine Mi is pregnant, she is even more fearless, and she is rampant in the palace, and she doesn't even care about the queen. Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"Then what are you going to do for her, if this continues, the prince's position will not be kept, don't you understand?" King Qi said anxiously.
"Oh, don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks, Concubine Mi is not an easy woman to deal with, if you want to deal with her, you must first let her let down her guard, I think, this time the formation of the six doors is also her to the emperor and handed over to our husband and wife to be responsible." Ling Ruoyi said lightly.
"What do you mean?" King Qi seemed to understand what Ling Ruohui meant, but what kind of person was that Concubine Mi, even Ruohui had to deal with it so vigilantly, wasn't it just a woman? What's so hard to deal with.
"yes, I'm playing a trick on me." Ling Ruoyi said lightly. After finishing speaking, Ling Ruohui got up and walked towards the door, King Qi looked at Ling Ruohui's back as he walked away, and muttered, "I hope you can control the situation and don't let yourself have an accident." ”
Three days later, Ling Ruoyi began to set up the six gates, but just as she was about to build the yamen, a holy decree from the emperor asked her to enter the palace......
