The entire Jiang family was imprisoned, and it was Liu Zhong who personally carried out the decree and walked out of the palace gate.
Therefore, this matter spread quickly and caused a storm in the city.
The head of the Jiang family, Jiang Zhu, was born into a peasant family. He later studied at Bailu Academy, and after completing his studies, he joined the Right Prime Minister.
Later, under the recommendation of the Right Prime Minister, he rose from a small staff to the current Minister of War.
Under the planning of the right minister, he married the late emperor's daughter, the eldest princess.
Jiang Zhu and the Jiang family give people the impression that their family tradition is upright and their officials are honest.
However, the gold and silver jewelry found from the Jiang family's private treasury and the village on the outskirts of the city were shocking.
And within half an hour after the Jiang family was imprisoned, news came out that Jiang Zhu had accepted bribes, sold out his official position, embezzled military pay, and withheld disaster relief funds, which was even more surprising.
Unexpectedly, the Chiang family, which has always been upright and honest, would actually do such an act behind the scenes!
Accepting bribes, selling one's official position, embezzling military pay, and withholding disaster relief funds are not crimes worthy of beheading?
The second day
Chen Jue publicly announced the disposition of the Jiang family in the court hall. All the ministers who had good relations with the Jiang family in the past kept their mouths shut and did not dare to speak out.
After the announcement was made, the ministers began to discuss disaster relief in the south.
After the gold, silver and jewelry found in the Jiang family were confiscated, the happiest person was undoubtedly Zhou Shangshu.
Haha, how can you be unhappy if you have money?
Zhou Pei took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to personally take the disaster relief money to Jiazhou. Please allow your Majesty's permission."
He must follow him in person, otherwise the disaster relief funds will be withheld again, and he has to watch, Zhou Pei thought to himself.
"Yes." Chen Jue nodded and ordered a few more imperial doctors to go to Jiazhou with him.
The Jiang family was put under investigation, and on the second day someone sued Jiang Zhu's only son Jiang Mingwen at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion for killing, raping, and keeping a married woman privately.
When Chen Jue heard the news, he happened to be having lunch. He suddenly became interested in gossip and looked at the leader of the secret guard.
He learned from the secret guard leader that the young lady was actually the bride and met Jiang Mingwen on the way back home with her husband on the third day.
Jiang Mingwen saw that the young lady was beautiful, so he touched her on the street.
In order to protect his wife, the young lady's husband punched Jiang Mingwen.
But he didn't want to be hated by Jiang Mingwen, and he really liked the young lady, so he sent people to kill the young lady's whole family that night.
The young lady's husband was also very lucky and was saved by someone, and the person who saved him was the original person.
When she received the news that the Jiang family was imprisoned, the eldest princess was offering incense at Puluo Temple. She didn't expect that her family would be in trouble only two hours after she came out.
The eldest princess did not even enter the incense, and rushed into the palace without stopping.
Chen Jue was not surprised at all when he heard that the eldest princess had arrived. He glanced at the leader of the secret guard kneeling below.
"Okay, stop kneeling." He waved his hand and asked someone to bring the eldest princess in.
"Your Majesty, what crime did the Jiang family commit to treat the Jiang family like this?"
The eldest princess hurriedly walked in and asked him a series of questions.
"The Jiang family is loyal to your majesty and dedicated to the court. I would like to ask what your majesty wants to do to treat a meritorious minister like this!"
"Hero?" As if he heard something funny, Chen Jue's cold eyes turned into a smile.
"If Jiang Zhu is a hero, then there will be no heroes in the world."
His voice had a cold and lazy tone, "Chen Qingying, I didn't summon you to question me!"
After staying in a high position for a long time, she suddenly heard someone calling her full name, and the eldest princess looked unhappy.
Just as she was about to scold, she suddenly looked up and saw the smiling face. The eldest princess suddenly thought that this was no longer the time when her father was still around.
The majesty in front of me is not a benevolent king. He got the throne by forcing the palace to kill his father and imprison his biological mother!
"Your Majesty, if you want to kill Jiang Zhu, kill him. But my son, the inscription is innocent. Can your Majesty, considering that he is your nephew, let him go?"
This time the eldest princess was no longer the same as when she came in, but lowered her posture.
Knowing that she couldn't save the person His Majesty wanted to kill, she simply gave up saving him and just inscribed -
She was reluctant to let go, that was her only child with that man!
Chen Jue ignored her, took the medicinal meal presented by the palace maid, drank it slowly, and put the bowl back on the tray in the palace maid's hand.
Then his eyes fell coldly on the eldest princess. Suddenly, he smiled suddenly, "Why come to beg me? You have the imperial order given by the late emperor."
"If you want to save your only son, give me the imperial decree in exchange."
Imperial order!
The eldest princess was heartbroken and looked up at Chen Jue. She seemed to understand that this was a game, a game waiting for her to hand over the imperial order!
Thinking of the inscription, the eldest princess unconsciously touched a sachet hanging on her waist.
Following this tiny movement of the eldest princess, Chen Jue naturally saw it with a glance.
From the memory of the original person, I vaguely discovered that every time I saw the eldest princess, she always carried the same sachet with her.
Chen Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled. He didn't expect that the imperial order that he wanted to find most could be discovered so easily.
The Emperor's Order is a secret bodyguard organization secretly cultivated by the Chen Kingdom's royal family. It specializes in protecting the emperor and inquiring into what illegal things Chen's ministers have done in their families.
Anyway, if there is anything that the emperor cannot do on the surface, he can just leave it to the secret guard organization.
In the original novel, the emperor's order was taken by the late emperor and given to the eldest princess, but the original person did not know.
After the original person ascended the throne, he began to send people to search for the emperor's order privately.
The original body was also searched for by the Queen Mother and the deposed prince, but was never found.
However, he had read the novel and naturally knew that the imperial order was in the hands of the eldest princess, but he did not expect that it would be in the sachet that he carried with him.
Chen Qingying was summoned because of the imperial order in her hand.
How could he allow others to sleep soundly next to the couch? Even for his own safety, he had to get the imperial order back today!
What's more, Chen Qingying is not a simple person, she is very ambitious and cruel!
In the novel, after the male protagonist became emperor, he wanted to win people's hearts and always treated the eldest princess of the previous dynasty favorably.
Unexpectedly, the eldest princess surrendered on the surface, but secretly used the imperial order to stir up troubles, which caused a lot of trouble for the male protagonist's career.
In the end, the heroine helped and asked someone to seduce the eldest princess and get the imperial order from her.
Without the imperial order, the eldest princess is like a hedgehog without minions, unable to do anything, and naturally unable to achieve success.
"What is your Majesty talking about? What kind of imperial order? I have never seen how to get it out."
The eldest princess pretended to be stupid and said: "Your Majesty, I can give you whatever you want, but I have never seen the emperor's order."
"Ming Wen grew up in the palace since he was a child, as you know.
Inscription is well-read in poetry and books, and is smart and kind. It is impossible for him to kill people or rob civilian women. He is unjustly accused——"
"enough!"
