Chapter 88 Thorough Investigation of Injustice Cases
Daming Palace.
The empress sat on the phoenix chair, and Baili Bing, the official minister, was recounting her achievements in the war.
"The ministers and the Ministry of War have calculated the merits, and the military merits of each general and school have been determined. Please ask the Holy One to take a look."
Yingfeng received Baili Bing's memorial and presented it to the empress.
After looking at the military merit book, the empress glanced at Baili Bing and then at Bai Qiulian, Minister of War.
"Long Chengen killed two generals this time and attacked Caishi City. Why can't he get credit?"
From Di Luoxi to Li Xiannan, Zhang Qian, Xuan Yi and the others, everyone has been awarded military merit, but Long Chen has not been awarded. Of course the empress is not happy.
"this..."
Baili Bing looked back at Bai Qiulian.
Bai Qiulian came out and worshiped: "Back to the Holy Master, Long Cheng'en has indeed made great achievements, but he has also made mistakes."
The empress asked in confusion: "Fault? What fault?"
Long Chen stood quietly on the side with no expression on his face.
Bai Qiulian is from Jing Tianlie's side, so it's normal to target him.
Bai Qiulian said: "In the battle of Linjiang City, our army suffered heavy casualties, especially Shangguan Wei's night attack, which broke through the west gate and resulted in tens of thousands of casualties. I heard that this was due to Long Chen's poor arrangement."
"In addition, Shui Han, the former deputy general of Linjiang City and later the chief general, died in this battle and suffered heavy losses. It is said that it was also Long Chengen's fault."
"So, the merits and demerits are balanced, and I think Long Chengen does not need to be punished."
Long Chen felt in his heart, what the hell, even if there is no reward, he actually said there would be no punishment?
Di Luoxi came out and said angrily: "I am the coach, and the city defense layout is my decision. What happened to Guan Long Chengen? There are no immortals in a war? How can it be Long Chengen's fault that Shui Han died for his country? Your Ministry of War is like this
The credit will be determined, who dares to sacrifice his life in the future!"
Bai Qiulian's targeting this time was so obvious that other ministers couldn't stand it.
Bai Anning, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, said: "What Shangshu Bai said is indeed inappropriate. The casualties caused by the enemy's night attack and the death of General Shui Han have nothing to do with Master Long. I refute it on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and Bai Anning has the power to refute it.
Bai Qiulian argued: "Bai Yushi, tens of thousands of soldiers were lost in the night attack on Linjiang City. Who bears the responsibility?"
Di Luoxi said: "I take responsibility, I am the coach!"
Bai Qiulian was at a loss for words. She didn't dare to scold Di Luoxi.
"I am the coach and I failed to defend the city well, which resulted in the West Gate being breached. This is my responsibility and has nothing to do with anyone else!"
Di Luoxi took over the responsibility.
Bai Qiulian added: "What about the death of General Shui Han? How did General Shui Han die? We have never found out about this matter!"
Long Chen remained silent, and Di Luo Xi couldn't say Shui Han was a spy in public.
The empress said: "General Shui Han was seriously injured in the battle with Shangguan Wei. All the soldiers in Linjiang City know about this. Is there anything unclear about it?"
Bai Qiulian bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Shui Han is very skilled in martial arts. Even Long Cheng'en was able to come back alive, but General Shui Han was killed in battle. There must be something fishy about this matter. I request the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Justice to review it."
The empress looked displeased and said, "Shang Shu Bai thinks there is something wrong with General Shui Han's death?"
Bai Qiulian said: "Wei Chen just wants to give an explanation to General Shui Han, and to give an explanation to my officers and soldiers of Da Zhou."
The court suddenly became quiet, no one spoke, not even the hot-tempered Di Luoxi.
Di Yu slightly looked at Di Luoxi, and she felt a subtle atmosphere.
Di Xingwan was also in charge of interrogations, and she felt that something was wrong with Shui Han.
When Bai Qiulian interfered in this way, a smell of conspiracy immediately arose in the court.
Other ministers began to talk privately to find out whether there was a problem.
Li Yizheng, a veteran cabinet minister, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have also heard some rumors. This is a great victory for our army. This is a happy event, but it has been cast a shadow because of General Shui Han's incident."
"I request a thorough investigation into this matter to set the record straight."
Li Yi was a man of high moral character and high prestige in the court, and his actions and words could be regarded as fair. He came out to speak out, and other ministers agreed.
Bai Qiulian looked at Long Chen with a sneer on his face.
The empress did not speak, her face hesitated, as if she was worried about something.
Di Luoxi stood up and objected: "General Shui Han died in battle for his country. Everyone knows about this matter. There is nothing to investigate thoroughly. You just like to make a fuss about these things!"
Bai Qiulian said: "Princess, if there is no problem, what if we check it? If you are so opposed, are the rumors true?"
Di Luoxi wanted to slap Bai Qiulian to death.
"Okay, let's call the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War to investigate this matter thoroughly."
The empress spoke.
Long Chen was a little surprised, he didn't expect the empress to agree.
But after thinking for a moment, he immediately understood the connection, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Bai Qiulian bowed and said, "The Holy One is wise."
Bai Anning, censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hu Chengfu, minister of the Ministry of Punishment, paid homage: "Wei ministers accept the decree."
The empress stood up and all the ministers dispersed.
Bai Qiulian, the Minister of the Ministry of War, left the court, followed by Wang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and returned to the Ministry of War together.
"My lord, do you think there is something fishy about General Shuihan's death?"
Wang Wei asked.
Bai Qiulian sneered and said: "I also have people in Linjiang City. Shui Han did not confront Shangguan Wei at all. She was responsible for the defense of the north gate and was not injured at all."
"After Shangguan Wei ran away, Shui Han was locked in the room by Di Luoxi and Long Chengen, and then died inexplicably."
"There is definitely something wrong with this!"
Wang Wei was surprised and said: "It's impossible. Why would the princess take action against Shui Han? I heard that the princess appointed Shui Han as the general of Linjiang City. This doesn't make sense."
Bai Qiulian sneered: "It's just a cover to cover up the truth."
Wang Wei nodded and said: "I understand."
Bai Qiulian said: "We must give General Shui Han justice and let her rest in peace."
After the dynasty ended, Di Luoxi and Long Chen returned to the West Palace. When they reached the intersection, Di Xingwan came over.
"Fourth sister, what's going on?"
"fine!"
Di Luoxi ignored Di Xingwan and walked straight over, ignoring Di Xingwan.
After taking a few steps, he remembered something again, turned around, grabbed Long Chen and left.
Di Xingwan was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Fourth sister is so stingy!"
Long Chen was speechless. When did this happen? He was still worried that he would be snatched away by Emperor Xingwan.
Back in the West Palace, Di Luoxi took off her court clothes and put on casual clothes. She lay on the couch and cursed: "This Bai Qiulian really thinks that he is a member of the Jing family! Sun Lingxue is not dead yet!"
Sun Lingxue is Jing Tianlie's wife.
There have been rumors in the court that Bai Qiulian likes Jing Tianlie, and she not only wants to marry her daughter to Jing Heng, but also wants to marry herself to Jing Tianlie.
Xuan Yi and Qing Yue were just listening to the court discussion and were also furious.
"This Bai Qiulian is shameless and her husband doesn't care!"
"I heard that her husband is incompetent and his official position is not high, so I dare not say anything."
"Incompetent? Don't you have any fingers? Xiaolonglong's lower part is gone, but his fingers are also very powerful."
"I also find it strange that Xiaolonglong's fingers are also very good. We are all very happy."
Long Chen looked at Xuan Yi and Qing Yue in confusion, and complained: "Hey! Two beauties, we have no enmity, why are you hurting me like this?"
Aren't we scolding Bai Qiulian together? Why did you suddenly get yourself involved?
