Sorting out

Dali Temple, in charge of the trial of prison cases.

If his fairness, strictness and authority were questioned, he, the Minister of Dali Temple, would be the first to bear the brunt.

Your Majesty, there is no need to be tricky when speaking.

It's as if His Majesty has suddenly become talkative since Queen Cui came to the throne.

But Queen Cui was taciturn and even a little weak and could be bullied.

The Minister of Dali Temple's mustache was trembling constantly.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I need to worry about how many unjust, false and wrong cases there are, how many innocent people are being wronged, and how many people are getting away with it."

Cui Canwen leaned forward slightly and said quietly.

"In the case of Lu Yu, I was concerned about the royal family's reputation, so I neither handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment nor to Dali Temple. I didn't even alert the Yushitai, but what about you guys?"

"Take advantage of the early morning court to attack me and the queen?"

"I care about the reputation of old Marquis Xuan'an. Is this how you repay me?"

"The queen was very cautious when she first came to court. Is that why you are watching her like a wolf?"

"It's okay to raise an issue and not even defend the merits?"

"This is my important minister. This is the veteran minister whom the late emperor respected and trusted before his death."

The Dali Temple Minister's heart became more and more tense. As soon as Cui Canwen finished speaking, he couldn't wait to speak to prove his innocence.

"Your Majesty, I just want to ask Your Majesty to be lenient for the sake of friendship with Marquis Xuan'an. I am not ignoring the merits."

"Dali Temple has always been rigorous and realistic, and the punishment is appropriate. It will never act recklessly."

Anyone who is an official wants to leave a clear name, and he is no exception.

Cui Canwen whispered, "I am not targeting Dali Temple. Why does the Dali Temple Minister need to drag the entire Dali Temple into trouble?"

Minister of Dali Temple:......

Inexplicably, I miss the former Emperor.

He deeply suspected that His Majesty was not recuperating during his absence from court, but was instead consecrating his mouth.

"I'm just worried. I'm sure the Minister of Dali Temple will never let me down."

Cui Canwen changed the subject, "In your opinion, this matter in the Xuan'an Marquis Mansion can be settled, right?"

"Prince of Dali Temple?"

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Justice?"

"Censor Zhongcheng?"

"You are all the masters of the Great Yong Dynasty who can discern every detail and see the truth clearly. I believe your words."

Cui Canwen's face was sincere and her eyes were bright.

The Minister of Dali Temple was speechless. This was simply not a problem.

"I believe that what your Majesty said is reasonable. The matter cannot be explained clearly, and the reason cannot be argued clearly. Lu Yuzhi's matters should be sorted out carefully in order to be convincing."

"After sorting it out, His Majesty and the ministers will decide whether to forgive or not."

The Minister of Dali Temple thought for a moment and decided to follow His Majesty's wishes.

Well, he respects the facts.

As for the ministers asking for orders after sorting it out, he would definitely remain silent.

Dali Temple must not be regarded as a typical example.

The Minister of Punishment and the Censor Zhongcheng looked at each other and said, "I second the proposal."

A group of ministers can attack someone, but they can never be singled out alone.

In this way, as word spreads, only a few of them will bear the bad reputation.

At this moment, the Minister of Punishment missed Sheng Jing He who was far away in Xingyang. His Majesty promoted Sheng Jing He and always deliberately showed his face in the court.

With Sheng Jinghe around, he, the Minister of Punishment, only needs the oriole behind him so that the fisherman can benefit.

"oh?"

"How to sort it out and how to argue it?"

"Then let the three of you start sorting out what you have mastered."

"Wang Bao, prepare pen and ink to record this grand scene. If it is spread among the people, it will surely make the people more convinced of Dayong's law."

Cui Canwen waved her hand and ordered.

All the civil and military officials were stunned, Liang Shaoyuan was also in a daze, but Wang Bao was the only one who was quick and agile.

"Your Majesty, how can an important matter in the court become public opinion?"

Some remained silent, while others objected fiercely.

"What the market says?"

"The king is a boat; the common people are water. Water carries the boat, and water overturns the boat."

"The people's heart is the foundation of Dayong."

"Today, the Third Division has clarified the context of the Xuan'an Marquis Mansion and restored the facts. This is the best practice of Dayong's Law and allows the people to know that the Law is for the people of the world."

"Only when power is exercised appropriately and under the sun can all ministers be in awe."

"Holding a ruler with reverence, being cautious about independence, being careful in one's actions, and being diligent in self-examination are the true principles of being an official."

"There is no need to argue about this matter. From now on, every word and deed of all officials will be carefully and accurately recorded. As for those who say nothing..."

At this point, Cui Canwen stopped and let the officials reflect on their own.

Liang Shaoyuan was numb, and he was ready to return home, but Cui Canwen wanted to hold a detective meeting in Qianyang Palace where the three divisions would start and all the officials would talk freely.

Can this be said in a short while?

The most important thing is that Cui Canwen has provoked all the civil and military officials. How will he clean up the mess after his return?

He still has some self-awareness.

"Let's get started." Cui Canwen looked at the three officials of Dali Temple, including the Censor, Zhongcheng, and the Minister of Punishment.

Having no other choice, the Minister of Dali Temple said, "Based on the rumors mentioned by colleagues and what I know, Lu Yuzhi once acted to harm Princess Ruixian."

"Since I have been abandoned and no longer have the title of surname, I am different from Princess Ruixian. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, I have almost hurt the bloodline of Princess Ruixian. I am wrong and guilty. "

The Minister of Dali Temple was very clever in avoiding the important and taking the easy.

"I'll leave it up to you, my lords, to fill in the rest."

The Minister of Punishment gritted his teeth, "There are rumors that Lu Yuzhi's concubine may have been killed. The minister understands that the concubine no longer lives, but there is no evidence to prove that Xuan'an Hou and his son committed murder. This is still doubtful. Need to verify."

To be honest, for an official's family, the death of a concubine in the back house is really not worth the trouble.

Censor Zhongcheng racked his brains, "The late emperor granted me a marriage, and the eldest princess Ruixian got married. The Marquis of Xuan'an did not want to be grateful, but instead ruined the royal family's face and deserves punishment."

Under Cui Canwen's gaze and Wang Bao writing vigorously, the other ministers also began to think and speak.

It's just that, as I debate and argue, the more I argue, the more biased I get.

It even involves whether the merits and demerits can be offset, whether the prince-in-law is treasonous in raising concubines, and whether the Yong law is the same and valid if the noble family makes mistakes...

"stop!"

Liang Shaoyuan only felt a group of ducks quacking in his ears.

When the late Emperor was here, his ministers were extremely useful.

When he ascends the throne, his ministers will only know how to quack.

"Let's just say, according to the law and considering various factors, how should the affairs of Xuan'an Marquis Mansion be handled."

After counting the time, Qing Wang watched the master enter the palace.

He couldn't survive a single day of this miserable life.

The Dali Temple Qing said, "We can't make a conclusion yet. We need to find out the whereabouts of the outer room."

"You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die."

Liang Shaoyuan: After arguing for a long time, we came to an inconclusive conclusion.

"Then let's find out and discuss it later."

"Today, this matter is settled."

Wang Bao slowly put down his pen and ink and stood up.

"That……"

"etc!"
Chapter completed!
