The civil servants welcomed this and felt that they had achieved a good result today.

Zhu Houzhao turned around and said, "But if I think about it carefully, doesn't what Da Sikou said make sense? Mao Yuwen is really a stupid person, and he wants to kill people where I don't allow him to kill people? This is really hard to understand. I

I know that you all want to punish the criminals and seek justice for the deceased. But the prerequisite for seeking justice is to seek justice for the right person. Don't let us monarchs and ministers arrest people randomly, kill them, and then deceive ourselves and others by saying that great revenge will be repaid. This way

, I, as the emperor, will make a joke to the real murderer, and the souls of Zhan Xiushan and others will probably not rest in peace. What do you think?"

This is a well-reasoned statement.

Although many people said a lot of emotional things during their arguments today, no matter how emotional you are, you can't still be emotional when the emperor is trying to reason with you, right?

All the ministers knew how to cherish their own heads and nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty's words make sense!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded, "In that case, let's deal with it this way. Zhang Aiqing."

Zhang Mao cupped his hands and said, "I'm here."

"I have come to decree that regarding the Zhan Xiushan case, the imperial court must give a clear explanation. The cause and effect must also be investigated clearly. We will not give up until the goal is achieved. As for the people who are found, as high as the prince,

Down to the common people, everything should be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and no one is allowed to be partial. Do you think it is fair? But how sorry are those undead people?"

Zhang Mao was speechless, and the emperor was very considerate of him, "Your Majesty's move can be called a sage! Your Majesty, a wise king, will definitely protect our Ming Dynasty thousands of miles away!"

"Okay, Da Sikou."

"I'm here."

"I know that you have always been a public servant, and even today you have no selfish motives. I also know your temper. Everyone here has nothing to do with your temper. However, to show justice, Zhan Xiushan's case will not be handled by the Ministry of Punishment.

Handle it, do you have anything to say?"

"I have nothing to say, Your Majesty, it's better to avoid this problem."

Zhang Mao also added, "I also agree with your Majesty's words!"

"Okay. It's not just the Criminal Department that wants to avoid suspicion, but also the Jin Yiwei. Commander Mou?"

Mou Bin understood this from his heart and said, "Jinyiwei respects His Majesty's decree!"

But if no one is needed, who else can investigate the case?

Zhu Houzhao did not show off, "Recently, provincial officials came to Beijing. I heard that there is a man named Zhao Shen who is said to be good at arresting people. This person has a low reputation and has almost no connections with all parties in Beijing. Let him investigate the case."

.”

This is a person that all parties are reluctant to refute, but it is also difficult to refute. It is equivalent to taking a step back. And with the blessing of Emperor Chrysostom, there is no problem.

After the imperial edict came out, Zhao Shen was given the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and personnel were dispatched from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the case. The investigation results were sent directly to the Cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies without going through the three departments.

This method of only adding a title without holding a position is to give him a rank. Otherwise, without this official position of a third rank, he would not be able to enter many yamen.

For Zhao Shen, this is also a test. If he really does well, the Minister of Justice will not be out of reach for him.

If you are bolder and more imaginative, you can calculate Min Gui's age. He was born in the fifth year of Xuande, and he is already seventy-six this year!

Xuande, the reign names after Xuande are Zhengtong, Jingtai, Tianshun, Chenghua, Hongzhi...the emperors have changed several times!

Even if he could survive, he would not be able to work for a few more years due to his declining health.

But Zhao Shen was in his middle age, and he was doing a job he was good at. As long as he performed well in front of the emperor, it was entirely possible to become a minister of the Ministry of Justice.

What is that concept? You can meet the emperor just by handing a note to the palace. How many of the thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty could do this?

So when Zhao Shen himself received this order, he was a little confused.

He himself felt that it might be a slightly unimportant position, after all, he did not have any background. His own plan was relatively conservative, that is, after staying in the capital, he would work hard and work hard. If he failed in three years, he would only work in five years, and he would always be able to perform well in front of the emperor.

Damn it, I didn’t expect that opportunities and challenges would come so quickly, and he would be directly given the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Punishment!

At this time, Zhu Houzhao had already summoned Yan Song in the palace pavilion.

"The Zhan Xiushan case caused an uproar, and you have seen it before and after. Zhao Huixing just came, and he has a clean background, so he was squeezed in after a fight between all parties. But having said that, it is easy to be clean in the capital.

It's difficult to move even an inch, you are his junior, but you can actually help him."

"Besides, I don't think Mao Yuwen would arrest Zhan Xiushan without any reason. There is something fishy here. Tell him exactly what you said. I don't care about the others. I won't blame him for whoever I find."

Yan Song was a little surprised by the emperor's words. What do you mean by finding out no one and not blaming him? Isn't this a disguised way of encouraging Zhao Shen to make this matter as big as possible? Otherwise, why would he open this big hole for no reason?

The emperor is Chrysostom, so these slightly "irresponsible" words must have been said with ulterior motives, otherwise how could he be worthy of the name of "a wise king".

Nowadays, no one knows the capabilities of this emperor, so Yan Song will not doubt the word "Mingjun".

"Wei Chen understands that whether it is the cause or the consequence, His Majesty just wants eight words, clearly and clearly."

"Yes, you are still smart."

"His Majesty also trained me well."

…

…

In the courtyard where Zhao Shen rented, there were him and Yan Song again.

Yan Song has already conveyed the emperor's words.

Zhao Shen was indeed unfamiliar with the capital. When such a dispute suddenly broke out in the court, they, who had just entered the capital, were a little confused when they saw it.

And judging from today's scale, it is impossible to say that this situation developed simply by coincidence. But the problem is that it is useless to just detect that something is wrong. You must understand the situation clearly.

Only in this way can you judge what is best for you.

"...In this way, I am somewhat lucky. Things in this world are really wonderful. I originally thought that having no one in the court was a bad thing, but I didn't expect that there is a good side. This is like a snipe and a clam competing with each other.

Profit?"

Yan Song asked: "What does the teacher want to do?"

"Do as before, find out the truth, and return the truth to Your Majesty."

Yan Song respected Zhao Shen as a teacher, so he was very restrained in what he said, but some words had to be said.

"Teacher, please forgive me for being rude. Teacher, do you really think it's luck that you got the title of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice this time?"

Zhao Shen's eyes flashed, and his unexpected student seemed to be quite scheming.

"tell me the story."

"The student has been with His Majesty for more than a month, and has been exposed to dozens of government affairs. The time is short, but there are many things. The student dares to say that the current His Majesty is not a monarch who succumbs to the situation, but a monarch who takes advantage of the situation."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that the situation in which a local official with an innocent family background suddenly came to the capital to take over a major case in which both sides of the feud between the capital and officials want to avoid suspicion is not a coincidence, but created by His Majesty."

This statement is a bit convoluted and a bit surprising to Zhao Shen.

Yan Song added another explanation, "In short, the teacher is not lucky, but His Majesty has designated you in his heart to investigate the case. However, the teacher has no foundation in the capital. How can the teacher take over the matter smoothly?"

?That’s a problem.”

"Of course imperial edicts can be given directly. But according to students' understanding, His Majesty always follows the trend, or to use a word that other seniors often say: plan in advance. This is more accurate, because sometimes there is no momentum, and His Majesty will create it himself.

.”

Zhao Shen's heart trembled slightly, "Who... can do this?"

Yan Song said seriously: "Your Majesty, you can. Absolutely."

If this is really the case, then this matter is actually a bit scary when you think about it carefully, which means that everything is under control.

"But why me? As you said, I have no foundation in the capital."

Yan Song lowered his head and looked at the two shallow water lines in the tea cup: "Because I have no foundation, the teacher can only rely on Your Majesty."
