Chapter 661: Auspicious Empress 14
The appointment of Qi Diaoyun, the newly minted Inspector General, did not initially cause any turmoil.
The powerful ministers and nobles only thought that Princess Ningde wanted to make her little husband happy, so she persuaded her imperial brother to get an official position for the young lady's husband, finally giving an explanation for the ten years of hard work.
Generally speaking, the idea that a prince-in-law should not be entrusted with important responsibilities became more and more serious starting from the Song Dynasty. In order to prevent relatives from interfering in politics, the royal family also tried every means possible.
However, before the Song Dynasty, it was still very common for princes-in-law to have varying degrees of real power. You must know that the word prince-in-law is derived from the official position of prince-in-law, captain, and a captain is a military commander who commands at least several thousand people and is only one level lower than a general.
.
The Prince Consort Duwei is an important position responsible for accompanying the king when he is driving with the king. It is usually held by relatives of the emperor or noble children, and later it gradually evolved into the Prince Consort.
The background of the Fengyu Dynasty was similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, and the social environment for women was relatively tolerant. Many favored concubines in the palace were even allowed to build additional mansions in the imperial city. This was not new in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
So Princess Ningde had a great time giving her consort a fancy official life, and almost everyone including the emperor laughed it off.
However, no one expected that Qi Diaoyun's new position would be extremely successful after taking office.
The first was to seize the command of two guard posts in the suburbs of Beijing from the in-laws of the Yu family for the crime of selling officials and selling titles. The second was to investigate and punish the founder of the country, Zuo Simin, his son Zuo Kuang and his son for having sex in the Hexiang Pavilion, and beating and maiming both of them.
A famous waiter.
These two things simply scratched the itch of Emperor Feng Sihan.
He was worried that the confidant he cultivated would not have military power. Now that he had just deposed the queen Yu Zhen, he could not attack the Yu family again, so the prince-in-law directly gave him the reason.
And Zuo Simin's family inherited the ancestral influence, received the treatment of a second-rank official and the benefits of the founding county government, and has been supporting that big family of trash for five generations. However, it was difficult for the founding ancestors to establish the dynasty, so
The three families were promised a rule similar to that of the Qing Dynasty, and hereditary inheritance could not be abolished without serious mistakes.
In addition to the descendants of the Yu family, there are also three founding counties and princes who will always enjoy the treatment of royal relatives as long as they do not rebel. Every emperor who ascends the throne must accept the historical legacy of these four families.
I know clearly that the big end will be broken off, but the big tail will not fall off, but I am totally helpless due to the ancestral teachings.
Now it is not just the Yu family that has become a thorn in Feng Sihan's side, there are three other families who have long been eager to get rid of them.
Therefore, the crime of "father and son committing adultery" was caught very delicately by the consort Qi Diaoyun.
Because this crime can be big or small, if you are willing to let it go, you can say that the family tradition has been corrupted, and you can just use the clan rules to warn you.
If one is serious about investigating, this is an act that can be considered as an "immoral" crime among the heinous crimes. If you encounter harsh punishments, it would be reasonable to punish you by killing the Nine Tribes.
Founding Duke Zuo's family possesses the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book given by the late Emperor. It would not be necessary to punish the nine clans, but there is no good reason for accepting their family's life-saving talisman.
Once the Iron Scroll Alchemy Book is recovered, it is extremely simple to destroy a family that only enjoys the ancestral shadow and has no ambition to make progress.
In the Buzhuo Hall, Feng Sihan looked at Qi Diaoyun as if he had fallen in love at first sight with a peerless beauty.
As soon as they came up, they attacked the aristocratic Yu family and the noble Zuo family, and the reason was very high-sounding. The prince-in-law, this stupid young man, was simply...
So cute.
When the emperor wanted to sleep, the consort not only handed him a pillow, but also covered him with a quilt and fanned him to catch his feet.
It's a waste of money for the emperor's sister to hide her consort in the princess's palace for so many years. The Tianfeng Dynasty that had released him would have successfully dismantled the cp. Who can bear the patience of having to bind another family's surname to the name of a country? In fact, the Feng family is so disgusted with the Yu surname.
It's more serious than seeing a flying lump.
"Give me a seat."
After staring at Qi Diaoyun until his whole body was about to emit smoke, Feng Sihan gently ordered Shi Luquan.
"I really didn't expect that you could manage the Supervision Department so well. Yes, yes, Jinyu, you are just trying to sing a luan bird's cry. If you don't cry, you will already be a blockbuster! You and I are kings and ministers in the court.
If you put it in the home of an ordinary person, I would have to call you brother-in-law."
When Qi Diao Yun, whose nickname was Jin Yu, heard the emperor say this, he just sat down and his chair was not yet warm, so he quickly stood up and bowed, feeling frightened.
Feng Sihan was very satisfied with Qi Diaoyun's performance. This is what a courtier should look like!
"You have handled two anonymous reporting cases in succession. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Qi Diaoyun was waiting for these words, and stood up again and bowed.
"Go back to the emperor and tell me about the difficulties..."
"Sit down, sit down and answer. There is no knife stuck in my chair."
Feng Sihan smiled and looked like he was not seeing anyone else, obviously he was very happy.
"Yes." Qi Diaoyun still bowed before resting half of his butt on the chair, cursing secretly in his heart: It would be better to stand honestly and feel more comfortable if you were given a seat like this.
"Weichen really has a big problem." Qi Diaoyun lowered his head, and his voice seemed to sound a little more depressed: "In order to avoid unjust, false and wrong cases, every anonymous report requires a large number of personnel to verify and investigate, and
Some matters need to be verified privately in order to avoid alerting the public. Therefore, several case investigators in the Supervision Department are inevitably stretched. In addition, sometimes soldiers need to be used to suppress it. For example, in the Zuo Simin Bu Dao case, the Jingzhao Mansion was delayed due to too many involvements.
It is impossible to send people to arrest the Zuo family and his son, and the ministers of the Jinwu Guards on the left and right have no authority to dispatch them. If things go on like this, the opportunity will inevitably be missed..."
Missing the opportunity is tantamount to providing criminals with an opportunity to cover up and abscond.
There are many people in the capital who have great eyes and hands. Even the emperor Feng Sihan was easily offended when he handled some things, let alone Feng Sihan, who was only a third-rank official in the capital.
Feng Sihan was right when he thought about it. A few small civil servants alone could not defeat those dignitaries who had been in business for generations.
However, Qi Diaoyun's sword carries the banner of Princess Ningde's mansion, so he can make a bad face. Even if he offends someone he can't offend, he can also put on a white face and bring things back. In this way, this knife is both overt and covert.
If the knife is used well, wouldn't it mean that it can cut whoever it wants?
So an hour later, when Qi Diaoyun left the imperial city, it was already an independent agency with ten royal guards and twenty private guards, directly under the emperor and the director of supervision, with special orders and no taboos.
The lacquered carving, a white horse in a green shirt, rode the wind and walked slowly. After leaving the imperial city for some distance, he reined in his horse and looked back. The imperial city was majestic, and the person he longed for was imprisoned inside.
He snatched away his treasure, only to abandon it and trample it in the cold palace!
Qi Diaoyun's hand suddenly tightened, and the veins on the back of her fair hand bulged. He could bear that she became someone else's woman; he couldn't bear that she was not living well!
