Wang Qi's carriage stopped outside the imperial city. He got off the carriage and went straight into the palace and came to the Tai Chi Hall.
In the main hall, Zhao Zhen was sitting on the main seat.
There was a touch of irritation and even a hint of anger on the well-maintained face.
Wang Qi entered the Tai Chi Hall, glanced at Zhao Zhen's expression, and cheered up when he saw that Zhao Zhen looked unhappy. After he stood still, he saluted and said: "I, Wang Qi, pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Zhao Zhen nodded and asked: "Wang Qing, do you know about Mu Jin, the Minister of Household Affairs?"
Wang Qi said: "What happened to Mu Shangshu?"
Zhao Zhen asked: "Don't you know?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I have been busy treating General Wei's illness these past few days, so I have not been out. I don't know anything about the news outside. I wonder what your Majesty is talking about?"
Wang Qi naturally knows about Mu Jin. It was Wang Qi's suggestion that even prompted the East Palace to deal with Mu Jin. On the basis of Wang Qi's suggestion, the East Palace started the layout.
Wang Qi said he didn¡¯t know the emperor¡¯s situation.
Anyway, I don¡¯t know anything about it.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Mu Jin's family is in Kuaiji County, Yangzhou. Some people from Yangzhou came to Chang'an to complain, saying that the Mu family in Kuaiji occupied tens of thousands of acres and usurped the land, making the people miserable and homeless. This matter has already happened Held at the Ministry of Criminal Justice.¡±
Wang Qidao: "Your Majesty, since it has been handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, we can just bring it up for trial directly. Is there any problem?"
Zhao Zhen had a look of helplessness on his face, and he was even more angry as he said: "The King of Qi opposed the interrogation by the Ministry of Justice for a very simple reason. The King of Qi said that the Ministry of Punishment was from the crown prince and would kill Mu Jin and engage in malpractice for personal gain. As for the prince, he strongly testified that the Ministry of Punishment was fair in handling matters and said that he would never engage in malpractice for personal gain. What do you think of this matter?"
Wang Qi said: "Your Majesty, I am just a sixth-grade court councilor and do not participate in government affairs. And at my age, I have never encountered such a thing before, and I don't know how to deal with it."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "There is no need to have taboos, just say it directly."
Wang Qi said: "Your Majesty, do you really want me to say it?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Say!"
Wang Qi said: "If I say something wrong, you can't punish me."
At this moment, Wang Qi already had speculations in his heart. Regarding matters involving Zhao Zhi and Zhao Yu, why did the emperor summon him and ask for his opinion? He was probably asked to handle it.
Although Wang Qi guessed it, he never pointed it out, but still pretended to be stupid.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "But it doesn't matter, I forgive you."
Wang Qi said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment's review of the matter of interrogation may be biased for personal gain. But with too many people, it is impossible to practice partiality and malpractice. Let's simply let Dali Temple and Yushitai intervene. In this way, there will be two more departments. , of course it¡¯s different.¡±
Zhao Zhen laughed.
He looked at Guan Dian on the side and said with a smile: "Guan Dian, you see, this little naughty guy can actually make arrangements. If the Criminal Department's interrogation failed, we asked Dali Temple and Yushitai to intervene. This time, it became a joint trial of the three divisions."
Guan Dian chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, what Wang Qi said is not unreasonable. If the Ministry of Punishment is not good, then the three departments will interrogate. After all, there can be no problems in such an interrogation."
Zhao Zhen shook his head.
Guan Dian said no more.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and then said: "Mu Jin's case cannot be tried by three departments. Once it reaches the stage of a joint trial by three departments, it is tantamount to a conviction. Even if he is finally acquitted and the matter is spread, how can he still be in charge of the household department? How? Is it convincing?¡±
Wang Qi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Zhen looked solemn and said: "Wang Qi, all the people in the court are either from the crown prince or from the King of Qi. The officials of the court are all dependent on each other. I can't find anyone I can trust!"
Wang Qi sneered in his heart.
The fight between the prince and the king of Qi was actually promoted by Zhao Zhen.
If the two sides did not fight, could Zhao Zhen concentrate on refining elixirs and ignore government affairs? When the two sides are at loggerheads and keep fighting each other, Zhao Zhen will have a stronger grasp of the situation.
Wang Qi did not say what he was thinking, and said: "Your Majesty, in fact, all officials in the dynasty are based on one premise, that is, loyalty to Your Majesty. Only those who are loyal to Your Majesty can join the dynasty as officials. This is the basic premise. "
"Hahaha¡¡"
After Zhao Zhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
He looked at Guan Dian and said, "Look, this guy can talk."
Guan Dian said: "Your Majesty, this is the truth.Although the officials of the Manchu Dynasty each had their own positions and political opinions, they were all based on one premise, that is, serving His Majesty. Only those who serve His Majesty can stand in the court. "
Zhao Zhen stroked the gray beard under his chin, feeling very satisfied and feeling much happier.
He looked at Wang Qi again.
Although Wang Qi is not old, he is quite good in both civil and military skills. In particular, Wang Qi's temperament is more tactful, much better than Wang Zongxi's stubborn temper, which Zhao Zhen praised.
In fact, for Mu Jin¡¯s interrogation, the East Palace suggested that the Ministry of Punishment should interrogate him, but the Qi Palace opposed it. Then, Prince Qi's Mansion wanted to put Shi Zhong Si Yi in charge of the interrogation, but the East Palace objected again.
Both sides are opposed to the proposals.
No one is allowed to do so.
Zhao Zhen finally thought of Wang Qi. After all, although Wang Qi is young, he is courageous and talented.
You can give it a try.
Zhao Zhencai summoned Wang Qi and tested Wang Qi again. He found that Wang Qi was impeccable in his speech and did well in his work. He gradually made up his mind and prepared to let Wang Qi take charge of interrogating Mu Jin.
Zhao Zhen asked: "Wang Qi, if I ask you to be responsible for interrogating Mu Jin, do you dare to accept it?"
Wang Qi did not agree immediately and said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for me to interrogate Mu Shangshu because of my humble words! After all, I am just a casual official, just a sixth-rank court councilor."
Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves and said, "I want to ask you a question, do you dare to bring Mu Jin to trial?"
"dare!"
Wang Qi raised his neck and said: "As long as it is His Majesty's arrangement, I will dare to interrogate you. What's more, I was arranged by Your Majesty, there is nothing you dare not do. Your Majesty supports me, I have nothing to fear."
"well said!"
Zhao Zhen¡¯s face suddenly showed a smile.
Zhao Zhen said: "I will decree that you will be responsible for the interrogation."
Wang Qidao: "I obey the decree."
Zhao Zhen immediately looked at Guan Dian and ordered: "Pass the order and notify the Ministry of Punishment, the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion, let them know that Wang Qi is responsible for the interrogation, and have full authority to assist Wang Qi in the interrogation."
"yes!"
Guan Dian responded immediately.
After Zhao Zhen finished talking about his business, he changed the subject and said: "Wang Qi, I have taken the longevity elixir, and I feel the effect is good. These days, my body feels much better, and I feel a lot more energetic. This kind of longevity pill Dan, do you still have it?"
Wang Qi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, there is no longer a longevity pill. However, I told the people at the Hero Building that if they find a longevity pill, I will buy it at a high price and then donate it to your majesty."
He didn¡¯t do this, but it was still possible to coax the emperor.
Anyway, it doesn¡¯t cost money to talk.
When Zhao Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his old face and he praised: "Good, good boy."
Wang Qi said: "Your Majesty, this matter is serious, I need to read the files, and then go to the East Palace and Prince Qi's Mansion to understand the situation, so as not to mishandle the matter and embarrass your Majesty. I am embarrassed and the matter is small, and your Majesty is embarrassed." , then it will be inevitable for him to die."
"Go!"
Zhao Zhen waved his hand.
Wang Qi turned around and left the palace.
After he left the palace, he did not go directly to the Ministry of Punishment, but to the East Palace to communicate with the East Palace. At least, Mu Jin must be brought down with the full support of the East Palace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
