A few months later.
In the courtyard of Su Mansion.
"It's been a few months, how can I save you?" The second wife of the Su family, Lan Shi, seemed to be more anxious than the main wife Fan Shi.
At this time, the people in Su Mansion were like prisoners. They had been imprisoned in Su Mansion for several months.
If my calculations are correct, today is already July.
There has been a lot of progress in the case of those traitorous officials, but the leading ministers and several people from the prime minister's palace refused to admit it.
But most people are afraid of death, and many officials still admit it.
The officer who confessed remains in his cell, awaiting the punishment that will follow.
Officials who were unwilling to plead guilty were punished several times a day.
Each of these officials who are unwilling to plead guilty want to remain innocent in this world, even if they die.
However, the word "innocent" does not mean that one does not admit it, it means one is innocent.
In the past few months, the emperor has issued a decree that whenever there is a murder or even an injustice caused by these officials in the DPRK and China who do not recognize it, the petition can be submitted to Dali Temple.
These pleadings suddenly became the weak point of these officials who refused to admit it.
In addition, some of the officials who had admitted their crimes also dragged several officials who did not admit their crimes into the water with them.
It has been several months since Emperor Chen Ziyuan ascended the throne, and various rumors have emerged among the people.
In order to get rid of these rumors, the case must be made public as soon as possible in order to appease the hearts of the people.
The emperor Chen Ziyuan, who had been on the throne for a few months, was tired of waiting.
"When will this case be made public?" Emperor Chen Ziyuan asked.
The officials below all looked a little nervous.
Cen He, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up hurriedly: "Reporting to the Emperor, the case is progressing quickly. Now, only Su Yunqi, Yang Youcheng, Cen Wenxing and others are unwilling to plead guilty. I believe that they will be able to plead guilty in a few days!"
Upon hearing these words, if it had been in the past, Emperor Chen Ziyuan would have been a little more trusting, but this was not the first time he had heard these words.
"How many days will it take? How many more days will it take? Look at how many days it is today. Do we have to wait until the end of the year?"
Seeing the emperor's face, Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, knelt down in a hurry:
"Your Majesty, this is true."
"In just a few days."
"If those cases are not made public in a few days, I am willing to be punished!"
After hearing this, Emperor Chen Ziyuan had no choice but to believe him: "Okay, I believe you for now. If the guilt of those traitorous officials is made public in a few days, I will deal with you as I please."
"Yes." Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, responded.
Although the emperor sitting on the stage was only sixteen years old, he was the emperor and he was a minister, so of course he had to do his best.
Seeing that he had nothing to say, Emperor Chen Ziyuan looked at the ministers standing below:
"My dear friends, do you have anything else you want to say?"
At this time, Gui Jiarong, the Minister of Rites, took a few steps towards the middle road.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Before he could say anything, Emperor Chen Ziyuan had already guessed it.
"Gui Aiqing."
"I know what you want to say."
"Don't be in a hurry now, just take care of the upcoming autumn."
Before he could say anything, the emperor guessed it. Gui Jiarong, the Minister of Rites, was immediately speechless and walked back to his seat.
Looking at the quiet court, no one was seen speaking. Emperor Chen Ziyuan looked at the eunuch Cen Da beside him.
"If you have a foundation, start playing! If you don't have a foundation, retreat from the court!"
After a while, there was still no sound.
Eunuch Cen, the eunuch on the side, had no choice but to announce: "Retreat from the court!"
After saying this, I saw that all the ministers left and went to where they should go.
The emperor Chen Ziyuan also went to where he should go.
Looking at such a large palace and thinking about his ancestors, Chen Ziyuan, who was only sixteen years old, made up his mind to protect the country and country that his ancestors won after he ascended the throne.
Shen Shi.
"Cen Da."
Emperor Chen Ziyuan shouted, and the eunuch Cen Da hurried over.
"emperor."
"What are your orders?"
Looking at Eunuch Cen's face, Chen Ziyuan gave the order: "I want to see Prime Minister Sun. Send him a message to see me."
"Yes." After responding, Eunuch Cen hurried away.
After a while, I saw Eunuch Cen, the eunuch, coming back.
Sun Zhicai, the Prime Minister of the Left, was walking behind Eunuch Cen, the eunuch.
"emperor."
"Prime Minister Sun is here."
After hearing this, Emperor Chen Ziyuan raised his young face, looked at Eunuch Cen and his grandfather Sun Zhicai, and first ordered Eunuch Cen:
"You all go down."
Eunuch Cen, the eunuch, responded, beckoning the servants, and all of them retreated.
"Grandpa, sit down."
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, was still very polite.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Sun Zhicai sat on a chair, looked at the sixteen-year-old Chen Ziyuan in front of him, and asked confusedly: "The emperor is looking for me, but what's the matter?"
Emperor Chen Ziyuan spoke bluntly: "Grandpa, it's been a few months, why is the progress in the Sanfa Division so slow?"
"If those traitorous officials do not plead guilty, sooner or later my position will be discussed by the people of Da Mo."
After listening to Chen Ziyuan's words, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, was very calm: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Since Cen Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment made an oath before the court today, he must have been prepared."
"Grandpa."
"Please keep an eye on the Sanfa Department and supervise them. We can't delay it any longer."
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, nodded: "Okay, I will take care of it, and another minister will supervise it together."
"Okay." The emperor responded.
At this moment, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, suddenly expressed his doubts.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Export to:
"Your Majesty, I don't know something. I wonder why you have been reluctant to establish a queen?"
"A country cannot live without a king for one day, and it will be the same from now on."
Listening to his grandfather's words, Emperor Chen Ziyuan did not regard him as an outsider at all and said:
"The imperial court has just recovered."
"There are still a lot of things to deal with, so there is no rush. Furthermore, we must review those cases before we talk about them. Otherwise, how will the people talk about me?"
Looking at Chen Ziyuan's face and listening to his words, it seems to make some sense.
"I see."
"Then does the Emperor have anything else to say?"
After listening to his grandfather's question, Emperor Chen Ziyuan probably misunderstood the meaning and said: "After my grandfather returns, I will say hello to Han Muxin and the others. Also, please tell them for me to wait a little longer for those gangs." Once the traitor's case is over, everything will be over soon."
Listening to Chen Ziyuan's words, Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai could only agree:
"Okay, I will tell them when I get back."
"Does your Majesty have anything else to say?"
Chen Ziyuan shook his head.
Seeing this, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, stood up from his chair and said, "I will leave first."
"good."
On the way back, Left Prime Minister Sun Zhicai was looking forward to what would happen in the next few days.
After all, if all those traitorous officials confess their crimes by then, it will be obvious to all the people in the world, and their innocence will be completely eliminated.
Han Muxin and Cen Rong were considered young children. If they were allowed to return to their residence, Han Mansion, no one could guarantee their safety.
Therefore, Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, let them stay in his house for the time being and gave them food at all costs.
Today's Sun Mansion is said to be the Sun Mansion, but the plaque at the door has not been hung. Those who don't know may think it is the residence of some common people.
Of course, the plaque has not yet been hung up. It was Sun Zhicai, the left prime minister, who wanted to wait until his grievances were cleared before hanging it up in glory.
Whether all the traitorous officials can plead guilty is something that these newly appointed officials, who were also wronged during the Hongdao period, are looking forward to.
Not only the officials in Qingliu are looking forward to it, but the people in the capital, including the people in Damo, are also looking forward to the truth of this matter.
evening.
Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, was sitting in a small room and was busy dealing with those cases.
Cen He, the Minister of Punishment, had no one else but a servant who was responsible for serving him.
Speaking of the family of Cen He, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, it is indeed a bit miserable.
I heard that Cen He and his wife lived well together after they got married, and Cen He never took any concubines.
In an accident, his wife suddenly fell seriously ill. Cen He, who was only a minor official at the time, could not afford the expensive medical expenses. Later, he still couldn't raise the medical expenses after scraping everything together, so he had to watch his wife leave. .
Since his wife left, Cen He has made a decision in his heart not to marry a wife again and to serve the country and the people all his life.
