Chapter 6 Fighting in the Court
Xiao Qin listened for a while, and it was really no wonder that the emperor was mad.
In other words, he had already chopped off the head of the Dali Temple.
Half a month ago, 300,000 quintals of military rations that were supposed to be transported to northern Xinjiang, along with 200 escort officers, mysteriously disappeared in the Hushan area.
Suddenly, the government and the opposition shook, and the people's hearts were frightened.
Emperor Qin ordered Dali Temple to investigate this shocking case within ten days.
Today is the deadline, and so far the 200 escort officers have not seen anyone alive or dead. 300,000 loads of military rations were even more unheard.
Cao Zhihong, the secretary of Dali Temple, tried to fool the past on the grounds of banditry.
"Your Majesty, what Lord Cao said is true."
Dressed in a red-collared official uniform, a middle-aged man with a thin figure stood up.
Emperor Qin frowned: "Wang Quanzhi!" I'm asking Dali Temple, what does it have to do with your military department! ”
Reign of kings! Xiao Qin immediately cheered up.
Wang Yi's Laozi, is the soldier Wang Quanzhi in the military department?
"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Cao's manpower when he chased down the bandits in Hushan was seconded from the second department of our military department."
"The bandits are extremely cunning, and they must have made careful arrangements in advance."
"When we chased after us, there was only one Wudang left on the other side who was burning military rations and trying to destroy the evidence of the crime."
"We tried our best to put out the fire, but we only saved less than 70,000."
Wang Quanzhi knelt down.
"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, please ...... Your Majesty"
Emperor Qin glanced at the hall a few times: "Where is the book of the military department?" ”
Father-in-law Qian replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Lao Shangshu is unwell and has taken leave. ”
Emperor Qin was even more displeased, staring at Wang Quanzhi: "What Wang Qing said, is there any evidence?" ”
"Your Majesty, minister, don't dare to bully the king!"
Immediately, several officials from the Ministry of War stood up one after another, and they were all in unison to vouch for the king's rule.
The matter has come to this point, the human and material evidence is complete, and Emperor Qin was speechless for a while.
The entire court was suddenly as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Suddenly, there was a very soft chuckle, and all eyes turned to it in an instant.
Xiao Qin really didn't want to laugh, but he couldn't help it.
He understood that Emperor Qin seemed to be extremely majestic, but he was actually not a fart.
was played around like a monkey by a bunch of traitors.
"Xiao Qing, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Qin's face was ugly.
"I'm sorry, guys."
Xiao Qin scratched his head in embarrassment.
"I suddenly had a lot of itching on my body just now, and I couldn't help but scratch it, and I couldn't help but want to laugh when I scratched it."
"I'm sorry, you go on, when I don't exist."
"How can it be!" Wang Quanzhi glared angrily and said: "How majestic the court is, how can a bachelor be a child's play!" ”
"Those who flout the law in such a way should be fought out immediately!"
"What kind of champion, it's just a filthy villain in the market who doesn't learn anything at all, how can he be on the same level as me!"
For a while, the hall was full of remarks reprimanding Xiao Qin.
The gossip and righteous indignation all stunned Xiao Qin.
Xiao Qin laughed angrily, he didn't want to come forward at all, but who knew that these grandsons didn't know what to do.
As if discussed, the collective shifted the blame to him.
The atmosphere was as if he Xiao Qin was the culprit.
"Silence! Quiet! ”
As soon as Emperor Qin took the case, the shouting and scolding stopped one after another.
"Xiao Qing has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I listen."
Xiao Qin nodded, even if the emperor didn't support him, he would say.
I'm really used to these grandchildren, what the hell!
Xiao Qin looked Wang Quanzhi up and down: "No, Lord Wang, Your Majesty didn't say to let you get up, when did you stand up secretly?" ”
When Wang Quanzhi heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds.
He had deliberately made a fuss, and when he was emotional, he stood up.
At this moment, he knelt down again.
"Ministers deserve death......"
Xiao Qin took over the words: "Lord Wang, you also know how majestic the court is, in front of the Son of Heaven, kneel when you say you kneel, and get up when you say you get up, what's the matter, this court is opened by your Wang family?" ”
"Xiao Qin, don't deceive people too much!"
"Too much deception? Ha! Xiao Qin pointed at himself.
"I just laughed just now, and even His Majesty is asking the reason, but what about Lord Wang?"
"When you come up, you will buckle your hat and blindly follow the rhythm, who is deceiving people too much?"
"And you!" Xiao Qin turned around and pointed to the few who had just shouted the most.
"Lord Wang is your father, or is this court actually surnamed Wang, what's the matter, in a hurry to rebel!"
The word rebellion blurted out, and the whole hall knelt down one after another in shock.
When Emperor Qin saw this scene, instead of being angry, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yuanlang, who usually looks weak, has such a big temper.
A few words scared out the urine of these rebels.
Sure enough, he was the one I chosen, and he was a ruthless character.
But...... The first time this kid went to the court, he began to make enemies everywhere, after all, he was still too young.
"Xiao Qin, be cautious!" Emperor Qin's face sank like water: "The court is not a place where words are fast, you have heard about the robbery of military rations for a long time, but do you have any objections?" ”
"I didn't have any objections." Xiao Qin glanced coldly at the angry Wang Quanzhi.
"At this time, the opinions are very big, dare to ask Dali Siqing, what is the crime of stealing military rations?"
Cao Zhihong subconsciously replied: "Capital crime, punish the nine clans!" ”
"Good." Xiao Qin nodded with satisfaction: "Next, please ask Lord Wang......"
"Risking the capital crime of the Nine Clans to rob the military rations, is there such a stupid bandit in the world?"
"The bandits are outlaws, and they do all the things they do to lick the blood on the tip of their tongues, and they may think that they can be seamless, so they ......"
"So what?" Xiao Qin smiled: "So when you rushed there, the bandits were burning the military rations and destroying the evidence of the crime?" ”
"The front foot robs the military rations, and the back feet burn the military rations, what about playing?"
Wang Quanzhi defended: "It's not surprising that the bandits only burned part of the military rations, and more of them were transferred in advance and are currently missing." ”
Xiao Qin smiled slightly, expecting the other party to say this.
"Then according to Lord Wang's opinion, the bandits transferred most of the military rations in advance, what is the purpose, keep them for their own food, or use them to resell them for profit?"
"You should ask the bandits!"
Wang Quanzhi seems to be tough, but in fact, he sweats a lot.
Xiao Qin's successive questions seemed to be out of order, but in fact, they were pressing step by step.
"Your Majesty." Xiao Qin turned around and arched his hand: "I refuse to know from my subordinates, I have always been in the Qin State that the military food and the people's food are not interconnected. ”
"The military rations have been screened layer by layer, and they are more refined and can be argued with the civilian grain."
Emperor Qin suddenly realized: "That's right! It is impossible for military rations to appear on the market, and if they are really stolen by thieves, they will be sold for the sake of self-defeat. ”
"Exactly. It is excluded that bandits can resell it, unless they keep it for their own needs. ”
"300,000 quintals, enough to fill a medium-sized granary."
"Even if it's only half of it, it's still a huge amount, and it will definitely not be able to digest it for three or five years, so how can it be hidden without being discovered?"
