Zu Wangzhi had no choice but to find Qi Chun, wanting to take him back for questioning.
Result: Qi Chun died.
He was stabbed to death in his own study.
Zu Wangzhi: "..."
…
When Zu Wangzhi ran the case, the old emperor received the results of the Ministry of Household Investigation.
Seeing the number of monks and nuns, the number of acres and hectares of land they occupy, the amount of silver the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to spend every year to support them...
The old emperor lay on the table.
I feel like I have no face to see anyone.
There was only one thought in my mind: the locust plague was nothing more than this.
Suddenly, Su Hong said: "Your Majesty, you can pretend that you don't know anything."
"shit!"
The old emperor slapped the table and stood up, loudly issuing an order: "It is my decree that all parts of the country are only allowed to have one temple, temple, temple, and nunnery outside the city of Shangzhou.
The number of monks among them shall not exceed one hundred. The total land area shall not exceed ten hectares!
From then on, the system of supporting monks in the imperial court was abolished, and all monks were required to cultivate their own fields and support themselves! The origins of the monk's certificates were strictly investigated, and those who did not have the seal of the abbot of Guo'en Temple were expelled from the monks' membership and sent back to their hometowns. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy! "
After giving the order in one breath, the old emperor was still pacing in the palace angrily.
I heard someone murmur: "It's better now. Many monks who stole money and killed themselves can return home safely."
"Who! Whoever is talking there, get out!"
The old emperor turned around and stared at something outside the palace door.
The speaker walked in along the wall outside the imperial study room.
Ho, Song Wen!
When the old emperor saw that it was him, he became angry and pointed at him with his fingers, "Come on, come on, come over, come over and say it clearly at once. What does that guy Di Ying want, please tell him clearly!"
Song Wen salutes.
Then he straightened his back and explained clearly what the fake monk had done to the party and what Di Ying had done.
"Outside the national laws?"
The old emperor's eyes narrowed. "You are really looking for death. When you meet Di Ying, there are still people in this world who dare to say this! Okay, I understand, get out of here."
After saying that, the old emperor turned around and walked back to the Long Case without looking at Song Wen.
With a stroke of pen and a wave of his hand, new rules and regulations for monks were re-announced in front of the world. In the past, those monks who violated the law would receive the same punishment as ordinary people.
After that, the overwhelming voice of praising His Majesty reached the ears of the old emperor.
She suddenly understood.
A new situation has arisen in the case of Prince Zhongshusheren. After Qi Chun died, Qi Qiang became a suspect. When Qi Qiang was traced, Qi Qiang committed suicide.
Zu Wangzhi stopped checking.
He reported the case directly to His Majesty.
The old emperor curled his lips when he looked at Zu Wangzhi. "You just want Di Ying to come back, right? Since when did you have no cases that can be solved without Di Ying?"
Zu Wangzhi remained silent.
The old emperor was so angry that he spat out: "Sure enough, not all officials are called Di Ying. Okay, I will transfer him back."
After saying that, he issued an order: "Let Di Ying return to the capital first and serve as Prime Minister Wenchang. We will investigate this case before we talk about it."
In fact, the old emperor had thought about this decree after the monk case was over.
After all, the old emperor had earned all the fame, but she knew it was Di Ying who really contributed.
If Di Ying is not given any benefit at all, then the countless reputations she has just gained will definitely turn into floor tiles and come towards her head.
She couldn't chill the people's hearts, let alone break the good situation, let alone wrong Di Ying.
So, come back, come back and solve the case.
None of these chaotic incidents, including the deaths of people one after another, affected the doctor of Taixue, Shi Fenghua.
He was arguing with his wife Fan Lan, the Princess of Ningping, in the palace of Princess Ningping.
"I came from a poor family and was an official from a poor family, but so what? I wasn't the one who begged you to marry me in the first place. It was you who wanted to seize your son-in-law and insist on marrying me as your wife.
I saw that you are kind-hearted and treat others well, and that I had no choice in everything, so I married you and wanted to live a good life with you.
But just because of this, I became a county horse and lived in your princess mansion, and I couldn't control everything by myself.
For couples to perform the rites of Zhou Gong, you need your permission to light the lamp. I don’t have to say anything myself. Even for official positions, no matter how dedicated I was to my duties, I could never get promoted.
What did I say? How many years has it been? It’s been fifteen years, what did I say? When will you finally have closure? I just went out to have a drink with my friends, and you started making noise again. Is this still the life that couples should have? "
Shi Fenghua roared out the frustrations he had felt over the years, as well as his grievances and depression.
He hopes that his wife can understand him, tolerate him, and change this terrible life in his eyes that he doesn't want to continue to live at all.
But Fan Lan just glanced at him with disdain, still looking aloof and proud.
He said sarcastically to him: "Do you blame me for catching your son-in-law under the princess list? If you hadn't deliberately used methods to attract my attention, would I have been able to see you under that gold list?"
After so many years of not telling the truth, this princess thought it was okay to think that they knew each other well. Today, you dare to make a fuss over such a trivial matter.
So you are so unwilling? I told you earlier.
Do you think you have to be the princess? You come from a poor family, and you only ranked 97th on the Jinshi list. You were almost at the bottom. What do you have to be proud of?
If it weren't for the support of this princess, you wouldn't even be able to pass the 97th exam, and you wouldn't even be able to get the current Ph.D. degree from Imperial College. You don't know where you are eating bran-pharyngeal vegetables.
Why is it a loss for you to live in the Princess's Mansion? With your current financial and material resources, can you afford a toilet in this big city?
But if you look at it now, you have unlimited fame, luxurious food and clothing, and expensive money. Do you think you can earn it by your own ability?
And your whole family is living in my princess's mansion and enjoying a wealthy life. When do you think you can support them by yourself?
Shi Fenghua, if you get benefits, you have to pay. How many times do I need to tell you this truth? Where did you get so much unwillingness? "
As Fan Lan spoke, she shook the hem of her skirt and added casually: "I, the princess, am tired of arguing with you. Since there are only quarrels left in this day, then let's let it go.
I'll give you one night to think clearly, whether you want to kneel down outside my main courtyard for five hours to ask for forgiveness, or whether you want to make peace with me.
Think it through and tell me again. At that time, the princess will do whatever you want. "
After saying that, Fan Lan put on her skirt and returned to her main courtyard.
