Chapter 4 The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people
"Your Majesty, you haven't rested all night! Pay attention to take care of the dragon's body, the emperor should go and rest first! Preview the twists and turns are not in a hurry!" Manager Wei next to him looked at Luo Haoran, who had been dealing with the folds in the imperial study all night, and persuaded him.
"Don't worry! State affairs are important, anyway, I'm not sleepy, there are only a few books left, I'll go to rest after reading them." Pour me a cup of tea. Luo Haoran waved his hand and said to Manager Wei on the side.
"Alas, the slave just sees that the emperor is too tired!" said Manager Wei as he poured the tea and handed it over. And Luo Haoran took two sips of tea, then just smiled and said nothing, and then continued to preview the folds.
Chief Wei then came to the gate, opened the door, and instructed the little eunuch in front of the door, "Xiao Chuanzi, go to the imperial dining room quickly, and let the imperial kitchen prepare some early to send to the emperor." ”
"Mr. Wei, the little one is going. Xiao Chuanzi replied and hurried to the imperial dining room. Closing the door, Manager Wei waited outside the door and did not go in to disturb Luo Haoran.
After a while, the little eunuch came to the door of the imperial study with an early hand.
"Just give it to me! Manager Wei said to the little eunuch while taking it over early.
"Wow!" Then the eunuch withdrew. Manager Wei came to Luo Haoran's side early and put the breakfast on the side of the public case.
"Your Majesty, this is some breakfast that the slave ordered the imperial dining room to make, and the emperor will try it. ”
"Well, then I will taste it, it tastes good!" Luo Haoran looked at the two plates of pastries, picked up one casually, took a bite and smiled.
"I don't know! How is the distribution of the relief food and silver sent to Nanjiang, and how is the treatment of the victims?" Luo Haoran looked at the pastries in his hand and muttered to himself in a daze.
"Didn't the emperor already send the prime minister to personally supervise it? It's been two or three months, so it must have been done, and the emperor can rest assured. The Prime Minister has always been safe. Manager Wei looked at Luo Haoran, who was locking his eyebrows, drizzling on the side.
"I'm afraid that the prime minister won't be able to get along with the king of Nanjiang, and my imperial uncle has been greedy and difficult since he was a child. Luo Haoran shook his head and spoke. This time, Manager Wei didn't say anything, just waited quietly aside.
After a while, a little eunuch hurried to the imperial study. "Your Majesty, Lord Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asks to see you. ”
"Oh, Li Wenqing, what does he have to come to see me, let him in!" Luo Haoran put down the recital in his hand and said to Chief Wei.
"Go and let Master Li in!" Then Chief Wei waved his hand to the little eunuch below. After a while, I saw Li Wenqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly came to the front and knelt down and bowed.
"Wechen see Your Majesty!"
"Li Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, flat!" Luo Haoran stretched out his hand and signaled.
"Why did Li Qing visit me in such a hurry?" then Luo Haoran asked Li Wenqing below.
"Back to Your Majesty, Wechen does have something important to meet Your Majesty, this is played by Wechen, please watch it. I saw Li Wenqing hand out a copy of the recital and fold it back to Luo Haoran. Luo Haoran glanced at Manager Wei and motioned for him to go and bring the fold up. After a while, Manager Wei took the fold in Li Wenqing's hand and presented it to Luo Haoran.
Luo Haoran took the fold and opened it to read, his face gradually turned cold, and finally he was so angry that he even smashed the fold to the ground. This King of Nanjiang is really bold and reckless! In the past, he would not be held accountable for petty fights, but now he is so lawless. Luo Haoran scolded loudly.
"Your Majesty, the king of Nanjiang privately appropriated half of the disaster grain and silver taels from Nanjiang for disaster relief, resulting in the disaster situation being unable to be completely resolved and a small number of victims died. The evidence is conclusive, because the king of Nanjiang has a high title and is a relative of the emperor, the matter is so important that the ministers cannot deal with it effectively, so they came to meet His Majesty and let His Majesty decide. Li Wenqing analyzed the case while telling the case, and waited for Luo Haoran to decide the matter.
"Li Qing doesn't have to worry too much, wait for me to write you a holy decree, cut off the title of King of Nanjiang, and then send the prime minister to supervise the trial of King Nanjiang with you, this matter will be reviewed by you, and I will be strictly investigated to the end, and all the officials involved will not be tolerated. After Luo Haoran finished speaking, he picked up the pen and ink and wrote a holy decree, and then took out a gold medal for Manager Wei to give to Li Wenqing.
"This is my royal gold medal, see this card as if you see me, if you disobey will be executed on the spot. Luo Haoran said to Li Wenqing.
"Father-in-law Wei, you take my holy decree to accompany Li Qing to the Nanjiang Palace. Pass the word on me and let Prime Minister Lin Jie come to see me. Then Luo Haoran gave the holy decree to Chief Wei and instructed.
"Wow, old slave commands!" Mr. Wei immediately responded. Luo Haoran waved his hand at them and motioned for them to go!
"Weichen retires!" Then Li Wenqing and Manager Wei left the imperial study.
Luo Haoran picked it up and put it on the royal table, sitting at the imperial table and not knowing what he was thinking.
Let's talk about Lin Jie, since the head of Wei passed on the emperor's word to ask him to enter the palace to meet the saint, he didn't come up with anything along the way. Soon, Lin Jie hurriedly came to the imperial study, and when he saw Luo Haoran sitting on it, he immediately knelt down and bowed.
"Wechen see Your Majesty. ”
"Get up!" Luo Haoran said with a hint of disappointment.
"I don't know what Your Majesty has to do when he summons Wei Chen?" Lin Jie also saw that something was wrong with Luo Haoran, so he asked.
"Look for yourself!Look at what is written on it!" Luo Haoran grabbed the notebook and threw it in front of Lin Jie and shouted. Lin Jie hurriedly picked up the fold in front of him with doubts and opened it to look at it, and his hands trembled unconsciously when he looked at it.
Then he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Please let the emperor calm his anger, Weichen doesn't know about it, that day Weichen went to Nanjiang with disaster relief silver and grain, but he was stopped by the king of Nanjiang and took the gold medal given to him by the emperor and said that Nanjiang is his jurisdiction, and the disaster relief materials can be distributed to the victims by him." Weichen also had no choice, and thought that the distribution of the king of Nanjiang was also reasonable, and finally handed it over to the king of Nanjiang. But Weichen didn't expect King Nanjiang to be so bold. I hope Your Majesty will investigate. ”
"Hmph! I thought you would be innocent if you looked into it. Can you be exempted from the crime of dereliction of duty, I trust you so much, look at what you have done for me!" Luo Haoran waved his sleeves and scolded Lin Jie.
Looking at Lin Jie, who was kneeling down and burying his head below, Luo Haoran continued. "Forget it, you get up first! I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Li Wenqing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is reviewing this matter, and I have sent you to be the supervisor and judge to cooperate with Li Wenqing in handling this case, recover the food and silver that you have embezzled, and personally go to resettle the victims of the Nanjiang disaster for me. Disappoint me again this time, and get ready to take off your hat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En, Wei Chen will definitely handle this matter well, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's holy grace!" Lin Jie said with an oath as he got up.
"Let's go down!" Luo Haoran waved his hand to signal Lin Jie to retreat.
"Yes, Weichen retires!" After saying that, Lin Jie left in a hurry, and hurried to the Criminal Department to deal with the matter. Luo Haoran was left in the imperial study.
"Don't be greedy, you won't make mistakes! Whatever mistakes you make, you have to bear them." Even the Son of Heaven is the same!" Luo Haoran looked at the sky from the door of the imperial study and muttered to himself!
Then Luo Haoran came to Zhengyang Palace alone, and looked at Queen Yan, who was teaching Luo Ling'er and Luo Long to read, and her expression also showed a trace of tenderness.
"Concubine, see Your Majesty!" Luo Haoran stepped forward to help the queen up. "Queen, please get up!"
Luo Linger saw Luo Haoran coming, and suddenly her little eyes rolled and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she immediately ran to hug Luo Haoran's arm and shook it and said.
"Father, can you accompany me and my brother to play! Mother taught us to read and write every day, and we were bored to death; Those words are so ugly and can't speak, it's not funny at all!" said and didn't forget to put on a look of grievance.
"Okay! Okay! Ling'er go out to play! You don't have to practice calligraphy today, but my father can't play with Ling'er today! Ling'er and your brother go to play." Luo Haoran looked at Luo Ling'er and was also amused, scratching Luo Ling'er's nose and saying.
"Oh, okay, let's go fly a kite!" Luo Ling'er first deliberately pretended to be reluctant, and then actively pulled Luo Long as he walked, and he didn't forget to turn around and make a grimace at the queen.
"Does the emperor have anything on his mind?" the queen asked as she looked at Luo Haoran, who was preoccupied.
"Alas, it's not my uneasy little imperial uncle who made such a big deal for me!" Luo Haoran said helplessly and angrily. Then he told the queen about the king of Nanjiang.
"I don't know what the Nanjiang disaster is now?" Luo Haoran sighed.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry too much, didn't the emperor send Lord Li and Lord Lin to deal with this matter? The emperor still has to deliberate more about the dragon body. The queen comforted Luo Haoran and said.
"I hope so! The disaster waits for no one! I am also a little tired, and I want to rest. Luo Haoran's tone was also a little low.
Then the queen helped Luo Haoran to lie on the bed and covered him with a quilt; Guarding on the side, looking at Luo Haoran's haggard appearance when he closed his eyes, he also felt very sorry in his heart.
