Liu Mingzhi hardly left the house during the three days he returned home.
Every day I spend time with my many wives chatting about household matters and amusing my children, and my life is quite comfortable.
After being away from home for several months, Liu Mingzhi felt extremely satisfied with this long-lost reunion.
The sky was just getting bright, Qi Yun put on the official robe for Young Master Liu, and said comfortingly, "Husband, today is the court meeting, and you haven't gone to court. You don't understand many things. If any minister says something sarcastic,
, If you can bear it, bear with it, there is no need to argue with them!"
Qinglian took the fish bag and tied it around Young Master Liu's waist and nodded gently, "Husband, Sister Yun is right. Don't blindly pick fights with others. Be familiar with the situation in the court first."
“Today is no different than in the past, many things have become different!”
"Especially when you hold the high position of Assistant Minister, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at you."
Young Master Liu smiled calmly and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, my husband's temperament is not that thorny."
"As long as no one is looking for trouble, my husband will definitely not argue with them!"
"Moreover"
Young Master Liu paused and gently smoothed Qinglian's somewhat disheveled hair.
"How do you know that your husband is not in the court, so you don't know about the affairs of the court?"
"Although my husband has not been in the court for these four months, everything in the court, big or small, cannot escape my husband's eyes."
When Young Master Liu finished speaking these words, his whole body exuded a different kind of aura. Qinglian and Qi Yun, who were sorting out Young Master Liu's clothes, were shocked. They stared blankly at the expressions of strong confidence all over their bodies.
The husband who felt it was speechless for a moment.
The two women felt in their hearts whether it was an illusion or not. The husband at this time was completely different from the husband who left home a few months ago.
There is always a kind of submissive feeling in my body.
The two women had already known that their husband had broken through the realm of half-step innateness, but the two women concluded in their hearts that the feeling in their husband was definitely not something that half-step innateness could bring about.
It's a strange momentum that I don't know how to describe.
The two women slowly stood to one side, looking at Mr. Liu with a smile. Their slightly lazy look without any makeup gave them a different kind of hazy beauty.
"Husband, you can go to court now. Come back early after retreating!"
"I know, you guys go on to sleep for a while, and your husband will go first!"
Young Master Liu walked out of the room at a striding pace. After closing the door, his tall body suddenly felt warm, and he slapped his lower back with a sad face.
"Two vixens who eat people without spitting out their bones, how come I believe in your evil deeds!"
"We agreed just because I missed my husband and wanted to hold my young master in my arms and have a solid sleep. But what happened?"
"well"
In the past, his own words were used against him in a negative way. Liu Mingzhi felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to elaborate.
With a tired look on his face, he waved his riding whip and walked towards the door.
"Master, please mount your horse!"
"Liu Song, come here with your ears!"
"Master, what are your orders?"
Young Master Liu leaned into Liu Song's ear and whispered solemnly. Liu Song nodded frequently, with a cautious expression on his face.
"Be careful and try not to be discovered!"
"Yes, please don't worry, young master!"
"drive"
There were not many pedestrians traveling on the dimly lit streets, so Young Master Liu could safely gallop away.
Liu Song looked at the young master who had disappeared and waved to Xiao Wu who was beside him, "Xiao Wu, first take over the eldest brother's place in taking care of the servants and deal with the household affairs. The eldest brother will go find Wang Er Mazi!"
Xiao Wuyi nodded hurriedly, looked around for a moment, and secretly pushed a piece of silver in front of Liu Song. "Brother Song, bring back a copy for me, as long as it doesn't have color. I won't choose."
Liu Song cryptically put the silver ingot into his sleeve, and nodded seriously, "Reading more Analects of Confucius will help your growth. This is a good thing."
"Remember not to make any noise!"
"Brother Song, don't worry."
Liu Song rubbed his hands, lowered his hat and ran towards Qinglong Street.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and all the officials will greet you."
"Long live my emperor, long live your Majesty."
"My dear friends, please come and take a seat without any courtesy!"
Li Baiyu habitually glanced at the civil and military officials and spoke the same words. He was inevitably startled when he saw Young Master Liu suddenly appearing on the cushion in the front row.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Baiyu's every move was watched by the civil and military officials, and Li Baiyu's strange appearance was seen by the officials themselves.
When they were seated, they subconsciously followed Li Baiyu's gaze and were startled when they saw Young Master Liu walking towards his seat, with a strange expression on his face.
When did this guy come back? Why didn't he get any news at all?
After disappearing for four months, his life and death unknown, Duke Dingguo, known for his shamelessness, actually came to court. It was hard for all officials not to be surprised.
Especially the officials from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and Honglu Temple looked at Mr. Liu, who was already sitting on the cushion, with excited expressions on their faces.
The backbone is back!
Although the other four auxiliary ministers could not put their hands in, the official level would crush people to death. If they can't kill you, they can disgust you. These days, my immediate boss is away, and everyone is feeling cowardly.
Now that their boss is back, the officials of the third department finally breathed a sigh of relief.
With Duke Ding's reputation in the capital, it would be wonderful if he knew that the other four auxiliary ministers suppressed his younger brother intentionally or unintentionally.
Growing up, many officials vaguely poked their superiors' elbows, their eyes flashing, and the meaning was self-evident.
In the end, the meaning was conveyed to Song Yu, Jiang Yuanming, and Wang Hezheng. The three of them narrowed their eyes slightly and nodded casually.
He glanced at Young Master Liu's position, and then glanced at the other four assistant ministers. The old god was sitting there on his knees, looking at his nose and his nose, looking at his heart.
Young Master Liu twirled the ring in his hand, his eyes constantly flicking back and forth at the civil and military officials.
The atmosphere in the court today is a bit subtle!
There seems to be some gunpowder smell hidden inside.
Was it because he suddenly returned to court, or had it been like this for a long time? Young Master Liu couldn't figure out the reason for it in a short period of time.
Li Baiyu hummed softly, which was a reminder to the civil and military officials not to be in a daze anymore. Did you know that it was still time to go to court?
"Have the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Imperial Guards, and the prisoners from the Thirty-One Mansion been escorted back to the capital?"
The Minister of Justice came out holding a memorial and a piece of neatly folded rice paper.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, all the principal officials of the Thirty-one Mansion were escorted to the Meridian Gate. After a joint interrogation by the three divisions the day before yesterday, the officials of the Thirty-one Mansion, large and small, were responsible for concealing the truth, deceiving superiors and others, and almost causing a catastrophic disaster.
They have confessed, and this is the confession signed by them, please see it before your majesty!"
Chief Manager Zeng Hai hurriedly walked down the steps, holding the memorial and rice paper and handed them to Li Baiyu's hands.
Li Baiyu looked over it slowly. Although his face did not change much, the gloomy look in his eyes could not be concealed.
Although Li Baiyu has been able to keep his emotions and sorrows hidden during this period, he is still a little too young after all.
The longer Li Baiyu held the throne, the more he admired his father.
Being able to deal with all kinds of emergencies, big and small, with utmost calmness shows how calm and calm one must be.
Li Baiyu slowly threw the memorial and confession letter on the Long Case. He looked at the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple, "Two beloved ministers, since these criminals have pleaded guilty, how should the system be dealt with?"
"Report to Your Majesty, I will kill you according to the law!"
"Confiscated family property and put it into the national treasury."
"The wives, children, and young children of the prisoners' families were exiled to the border gates as hard labor, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Department."
Li Baiyu nodded lightly, "Then let's deal with it according to the law!"
"I obey the decree!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Li Baiyu looked at Young Master Liu in surprise, "It's accurate!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has only been on the throne for less than a year. I believe that Your Majesty should be merciful and only punish the first culprits."
"The family property will be confiscated, and those whose wives, children and children did not participate in the matter will be demoted to common people and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations!"
"Officials who are accomplices, since they have not yet caused a major disaster, can be lenient and deal with them as appropriate!"
There were low voices in the court, and they all looked at Young Master Liu in astonishment!
No one would be surprised if he said, "Only punish the chief culprit", except Duke Dingguo!
The officials who committed crimes in Qingzhou and Jiangnan are bloody examples.
Duke Dingguo actually said something to be open to others?
