The corrupt magistrate of Qinzhou County was a member of Prime Minister Song's mansion. Because of this incident, the entire Song family fell.
If there is another problem with the current Qinzhou governor, I am afraid that the Pei family will also be doomed.
Even now, they are still shirking responsibility.
In anger, Emperor Xuanwu walked over and kicked the two of them over: "Such corrupt officials and scum appeared under your rule, which made the people of Guiyang miserable. If you tell me that you don't know at all, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think all the victims here are fools?”
Upon seeing this, Pei Zhongshu immediately distanced himself from the relationship: "Your Majesty, this Qinzhou governor was originally a disciple of the Song family. The corruption case of the Qinzhou magistrate is also inseparable from him. Now that the rule is not strict, and this kind of problem occurs again, he should be severely punished. Don’t lend, just serve as a warning to others.”
"Then according to Master Pei's wishes, how should we be severely punished?"
Emperor Xuanwu's reaction was too quick.
Pei Zhongshu wanted the emperor to be judged as a tyrant, but the emperor asked back and kicked the question back to him.
Since you are the one who proposed severe punishment, then tell me how severe the punishment will be.
"this……"
Pei Zhongshu was in trouble for a while.
A light punishment would not quell public anger, a heavy punishment would chill the hearts of the courtiers who followed the Pei family, and he would do nothing wrong.
"It would be better to dismiss the Guiyang County Magistrate and investigate, confiscate his family property, put him in jail, and wait for questioning in the future."
"The governor of Qinzhou has been slacking off in his administration. He should be demoted and have a good look at him."
Someone stepped forward to help Pei Zhongshu: "Master Zhongshu is concerned about the country and the people. He can recommend more suitable people to serve as the official of Guiyang and the governor of Qinzhou."
"Puch!"
An inappropriate scoff came, and everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Xinyue: "Why is the Imperial Concubine laughing?"
It was the same official who flattered Pei Zhongshu: "Do you think it's funny that so many people died? The Imperial Concubine is too vicious-hearted."
"presumptuous!"
Jiang Yankun was not qualified to accompany him in previous years, but this year, as a second-level official, he was among them.
When he heard someone attacking his daughter, he immediately shouted: "How dare you use your most vicious thoughts to speculate on the imperial concubine's thoughts? What crime should you be guilty of?"
They just smiled, maybe they saw something funny?
He doesn’t care about heaven and earth, but he also cares about people’s shit and farts!
Who does he think he is?
The official's old face turned red: "Your Majesty, it is an indisputable fact that the Guiyang County magistrate has taken human life seriously, and no matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot be exaggerated. But the imperial concubine actually laughed in this situation, because she did not regard the lives of the people as her destiny. The imperial concubine should be of the same mind as the emperor and will..."
"But what I am laughing at is that in order to flatter Mr. Zhongshu, you went to the trouble of the Emperor as he should have!"
"you!"
The official's thoughts were exposed, and he suddenly became angry: "You are a concubine in the harem, what business do you have here? The harem is involved in politics, but..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish his words, the emperor gave him a third kick from his flying leg. The kick made him roll backwards and even his official hat fell to the ground.
It looks ridiculous.
"Why do you want to be involved in politics but not politics? I don't understand."
Jiang Xinyue walked up to Emperor Xuanwu, held his hand, and shook her head at him. Then she looked at the official who was stunned and said with disdain: "The promotion and transfer of imperial officials should be decided by the emperor. , what do you want you to do? Are you directly arranging for the emperor to listen to you? The Song family and the Pei family have been related by marriage before. There are problems with the recommended people. You still turn a blind eye and let Mr. Zhongshu recommend it. Like you A flatterer like you is not suitable to stay in your current official position. Who doesn't take human life seriously? Who is telling lies here, and even targeting me is just to please his superiors? "
Pei Wu of the Pei family was sent to the palace as a favor by Pei Zhongshu, and the entire Yan Dynasty knew about it.
Everyone thought that when Pei Wu entered the palace, she would have to gain some favor from Imperial Concubine Bo.
What's the result?
As a result, the emperor simply did not like the eldest daughter of the Pei family, who was the most beautiful woman in the capital. Pei Wu only accompanied the queen mother in the palace. The news that she was sleeping in the palace was also false. It was the Prince of Ruyang who begged her privately. He asked the emperor to give him Pei Wu as his concubine.
But this matter was hidden from Princess Ruyang, so the emperor only acted as a shield. The real people who had a private meeting in the Queen's Palace were Pei Wu and Yin Minghuai, the eldest son of Prince Ruyang.
Not long after the "Queen Mother" was sent to the palace, Pei Wu was married as the eldest concubine of Prince Ruyang.
Now Princess Ruyang has no choice but to disagree, and she cannot resist the order and be disrespectful.
The official targeted Jiang Xinyue everywhere, just to get a good deal in front of Pei Zhongshu, but he forgot that Jiang Xinyue's father, Jiang Yankun, was not someone to be trifled with.
What's more, the emperor is still here!
How could he allow an official who couldn't even name him to arrange Jiang Xinyue like this?
Jiang Yankun didn't want her to be too involved in this matter. As the Minister of Justice, he still had the right to speak. He took a few steps forward to block his daughter behind him: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jia, the magistrate of Guiyang County, is corrupt, perverts the law, and has no regard for human life." , disturbing the imperial court, the minister proposed to kill him on the spot, in order to frighten the ministers and give an explanation to the people."
"No, no...uh..."
Zhang Jia also wanted to ask Pei Zhongshu for help, but with a direct look from the emperor, the imperial guard drew out his cold sword and gave him a chill.
"ah!"
He timidly screamed and covered his eyes.
The Qinzhou governor who was kneeling next to Zhang Jia was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. When the guard drew out his sword, he sprayed warm blood on his face.
The one who said Jiang Xinyue was involved in political affairs in the harem was kicked to the ground by the emperor and turned into a silent mouse, not daring to make a sound.
These people are like this, they always need to see some blood before they learn to behave.
"good!"
The group of people brought by Wang Dequan cheered loudly: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Qin Ruofang, the eldest daughter of the Qin family who first rushed out to complain, knelt down in front of the emperor again: "Min's daughter's parents are dead, and her sister is also... Min's daughter is the only one left in the family. Min's daughter is willing to sell all her family property and donate it to the court, begging the emperor and The imperial concubine allowed the common daughter to join the Shang Palace Bureau. The common daughter's family has been based on custom-made jewelry for generations, and the common daughter's craftsmanship is inherited from her father. The common daughter wants to fulfill her father's last wish and carry forward the Qin family's craftsmanship."
Wang Dequan came closer and explained: "When I went to the Qin family just now, several branches of the Qin family forced Miss Qin to hand over the Qin family property and wanted to divide the Qin family!"
She is a weak woman, and her husband is not guilty, but she is guilty of harboring a jade. Those tribesmen are planning to wipe out her family.
Even if she doesn't donate to the court, she can't fight against the opponent's large number of people.
It would be better to exchange millions of wealth for a stable life. In the future, he can win the favor of the nobles in the palace and carry forward the reputation created by the Qin family.
When she leaves the palace again, she will have someone to rely on, and these tribesmen will not dare to touch her hair.
