Detective in the Red Chamber

Tu

No wonder Yang Han regarded himself as a hero, his feelings were leaked because of this.

Sun Shaozong secretly said that he was unlucky, took the opportunity to take the meal for eight people, and returned to the listening room accompanied by Yang Hancai's painful murmur, and he was so full of nonsense.

After filling his stomach, he finally made up his mind: Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, he will act as if he has never heard of it, and go to the palace to hand out a sign to see him as usual.

At that time, let's test it without leaving any traces, see how the emperor reacts, and then decide how to act in the future!

Chapter 695 Audience [Part [-]]

While the child is sleeping, quickly code out a chapter. My wife comes back in the middle of the night, and I will make up for yesterday's at midnight tomorrow.

When Taizu was in court, military officials entered and exited the palace through the Donghua Gate and went to the Huadian to have an audience.

Later, it was the Taishang Emperor's turn to govern, and because he preferred the Wuying Hall located in the southwest of the palace, the place where the Minister of Wu entered and exited was changed to Xihua Gate.

After Emperor Guangde came to the throne, he had always followed the rules of the Supreme Emperor. It was not until the summer of the previous year that the ancestral system of walking through the Donghua Gate was restored.

However, he did not move the office where he met the ministers back to the original Huadian, but changed it to the Imperial Study Room of the Qianqing Palace.

Of course, this is only in name.

In fact, because Emperor Guangde struggled in Jingren Palace all year round, this is the place where he received the most foreign ministers.

Last spring, a new warm pavilion was even built in Jingren Palace for this purpose.

Less gossip.

But it is said that Sun Shaozong left Dali Temple, circled around the root of the imperial city again, and then arrived outside Donghua Gate.

After handing over the waist card of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was quickly led to the Fengxian Gate by the guards on duty.

After handing over the memorial that had been prepared long ago to the eunuch, Sun Shaozong was instructed by the other party, and went to meet him in an unnamed hall next to him.

This hall is very narrow and long, and the two sides are full of official hat chairs in their early years. There is no obvious boundary inside, but at a glance, there is a clear distinction.

Green, indigo, and vermilion, there is hardly a trace of mixing from the outside to the inside.

The reason why the word "almost" is added is because there are really existences that transcend official positions, and they are also Sun Shaozong's acquaintances.

"Jiro!"

As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw the blue-robed official at the top, who greeted him with joy, causing the left and right officials to look sideways.

The one who followed him was actually a round-faced boy in ordinary clothes.

"Second Brother Lian? Brother Bao?"

Sun Shaozong was surprised and said, "Why are you still here?"

Thanking you is not like handing over a sign to see you, there is a strict time limit, not to mention that this is not an ordinary thank you, it stands to reason that everyone in the Jia family should have entered the palace early in the morning, why did they delay until this time.

"this"

When Jia Lian heard Sun Shaozong's question, there was embarrassment on his powdered face, but Jia Baoyu on the side responded decently, smiled and cupped his hands to Zhengbei and said, "Heaven's family is selfless, Your Majesty should be tight first." Handle major national affairs."

It seems that the emperor didn't get dizzy with joy just because he was old enough to have a son.

"That's where I got it wrong."

Sun Shaozong nodded along with the trend, passed the crowd to the front of Jia Amnesty who was seated at the top, bowed his hands and said, "I have seen Uncle Shi."

"Ah."

In recent years, Jia Amnesty has been more filial to his daughter and son-in-law, and has always been very affectionate to the Sun family, but today he is uncharacteristically, facing Sun Shaozong's greeting, he gave a stinging hum without even nodding his head.

Tu

This villain's proud face.

Fortunately, Jia Yuanchun was not his daughter, but his niece, otherwise it would be uncertain what Zhang Kuang would look like.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't bother to talk to him anymore, he chose a chair in the fourth row and sat down, squinting at the officials present, chatting casually with Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu.

But Jia Lian saw that he was sitting neither humble nor overbearing, and his aura seemed to be neither angry nor arrogant. It was a world of difference from his own nostrils, stunned, and his father.

His heart suddenly softened, and he wished he could turn into a beast and stick it on Sun Shaozong's official robe.

It was so hard not to reveal Xingzang, but he couldn't help reminding: "Erlang, don't forget what my brother discussed with you last night."

This is still persistent!

Sun Shaozong was speechless. Seeing Jia Baoyu's curious face, he seemed to want to ask what was going on, so he hurriedly reminded: "After all, this is in the palace. We should be careful in words and deeds, so as not to disturb others."

When he said this, the two brothers couldn't talk anymore, so they had to sit back in their original places, watching their noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, noses, and hearts, thinking about their own problems.

Not long after, a young eunuch came in a hurry, and many officials in the hall couldn't help straightening up, looking over expectantly.

The little eunuch looked around, but finally set his sights on Sun Shaozong, and said in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty ordered to summon Sun Shaozong, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple!"

Under everyone's envious eyes, Sun Shaozong got up calmly, first confessed his guilt to the sullen Jia Amnesty, and then left the table with the little eunuch.

Speechless all the way.

Seeing the vicinity of Jingren Palace, he bumped into a familiar face. It was Li Shuncheng, the eunuch of Jingren Palace and now the eunuch in charge of purchasing.

"Hey, isn't this Master Sun!"

Before Sun Shaozong could move, Li Shuncheng cried out exaggeratedly.

Then he walked a few steps closer, stretched out his hand and patted Sun Shaozong's arm, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a while since you were ordered to go to war. Have you forgotten all your friends?"

In fact, if you really want to say it, his face is really smug.

Sun Shaozong also smiled, but he refused to be too intimate with him in the palace, he just lowered his voice and said: "You are just making fun of me, don't say that Sun is only a young minister now, even if he is a court officer, how can he compare with you?" Manager Li, can you always listen to His Majesty's hadith?"

Li Shuncheng laughed, and seemed to realize that this place is not a place for friendship, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'll be the host at night, let's go for fun, for fun."

As he said that, he moved out of the way: "Master Sun, please."

In fact, based on Sun Shaozong's original intention, he didn't want to get too close to these great eunuchs.

It's just that he had already agreed before, and he wanted to talk about one or two for Xia Jingui, but now that the opportunity came to him, he couldn't make excuses anymore.

So he nodded his head smoothly, and then followed the little eunuch who led the way into Jingren Palace.

After waiting for a while outside the Nuange Gate, Sun Shaozong finally saw Emperor Guangde.

"My humble minister, Sun Shaozong, greets His Majesty."

"Get up."

Emperor Guangde put the teacup in his hand back on the imperial case, but he was not in a hurry to ask why he came. Instead, he commented slowly: "Your brother's victory report a few days ago has been verified by the local officials."

"Speaking of it, although you only defeated a few hundred stragglers, it is far from what you have done in Huguang."

"But the few battles you fought in the south were too risky and too dependent on personal bravery."

"If it's just to suppress bandits, ten Sun Shaozu may not be as good as you, but if the two countries are fighting and attacking, you are far less safe than your brother."

This risked his life to put down the rebellion, but it was a failure.

Sun Shaozong slandered in his heart, but he also knew that in those few battles in Wuxi Prefecture, it was indeed through his bravery and risky actions that he achieved the extraordinary feat of overpowering everyone.

Besides, it's my brother who is boasting, so what's there to argue about?

So he bowed immediately and said: "Your Majesty's lesson is that the subject is only showing off his blood and courage, and his ability to lead troops and fight is far inferior to my brother in case."

"It's good if you can have this sobriety."

Emperor Guangde nodded, but then said: "However, your strategy for dealing with the barbarians afterwards is quite appropriate, barely worthy of the word "Nengchen."

"The minister is ashamed and dare not take it!"

"Whether it's right or not depends on what the people of Huguang say."

When Emperor Guangde said this, he picked up a memorial from the table and shook it at Sun Shaozong a few times: "You said in the memorial that you want to set Zhang An, who killed uncles, as an example for all people, but what is the reason for that?"

Finally got to the point!

Chapter 696 Audience 【Part [-]】

[The first update, the next two updates are in the middle of the night.

Another: I just saw the notification in the backstage that the book has joined the "Writers' Team, Constellation Cool Run", although I don't know what it is, but please support it, thank you. 】

Hearing that the emperor finally asked about something serious, Sun Shaozong quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the soldiers are on an expedition, but their wives and children are wantonly humiliated. If such things spread, it will definitely hurt the morale of the army."

"That Zhang An was confused, and committed suicide in prison. Even if the court appeases his family, some people will inevitably feel sad."

"thus……"

Speaking of this, Sun Shaozong couldn't help hesitating for a while, and then continued: "So I think that it might as well be handled together with another case."

"Another case? What case?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Zhang An was involved in a lawsuit that day, so I went to Zhang's house to find out what happened, but I accidentally found many strange things in Zhang Biao's house..."

Sun Shaozong briefly explained all the anomalies he discovered at Zhang Biao's home, and then told the story of Wang Baochang and Wei Shougen being poisoned to death on the same day during the secret investigation.

In the end, he concluded: "Although I don't have any solid evidence right now, judging from all the signs, there should be no false evidence that Zhang Biao conspired with others to kill the young beggar!"

After finishing speaking, Sun Shaozong raised his ears, wanting to see how the emperor would respond to this.

In the end, after waiting for a while, I only heard three plain words: "Speak."

It really isn't that easy to figure out what you want!

From this point of view, perhaps the crown prince's successful ascension to the throne is a good thing for the ministers—at least this guy is a good guess and a fool.

Although he was slandering in his heart, Sun Shaozong naturally did not dare to be negligent, and hurriedly continued: "In my opinion, you might as well press the humiliation of Mrs. Zhang and Wu first, and try my best to investigate the case of Zhang Biao's torture and murder of a young beggar."

"When the truth of this case becomes clear, it can be announced that Zhang An discovered what Zhang Biao did and killed Zhang Biao out of righteous indignation."

"Although Zhang Biao never regretted killing harm for the people afterwards, killing his uncle with his nephew was a violation of human ethics. He committed suicide in prison for the sake of loyalty and filial piety."

In just a few sentences, Zhang An's motive for killing his uncle was changed from personal hatred to public outrage, and Zhang An's act of committing suicide after being humiliated became an act of "loyalty and filial piety".

In doing so, it can not only avoid the death of rabbits in the army, but also set an example of "loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness".

However, the response to Sun Shaozong was a cold rhetorical question: "Sun Shaozong, what position do you hold now?"

This is knowingly asked...

Sun Shaozong's heart skipped a beat, and he faintly sensed that he had neglected something, but at this moment he couldn't bear to think too much, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, I just took up the post of Zuo Shaoqing in Dali Temple."

bang~

Emperor Guangde slapped the imperial case, and angrily said: "Where is Dali Temple? The general constitution of the world's discipline, the example of the court's law! I let you work in Dali Temple. The grand scene when Xu Tai was in office!"

"Working like you to plan and change, even if it is slightly beneficial to the current situation, where do you put discipline and law?!"

Before Sun Shaozong met with him several times before, Emperor Guangde always had a pleasant appearance, but now he suddenly roared, and Sun Shaozong's back felt cold, and he quickly knelt down on the ground.

With a trembling voice in his mouth, he said: "My minister... I have owed the divine grace!"

While talking, while using the cover of the sleeves of the robe, he slammed his eyes into the eye sockets with his backhand.

Emperor Guangde looked at Sun Shaozong, who was prostrate in front of the imperial case, and said with a stern expression, "It is not I who you have failed, but the people of this world, and the reputation of 'Qing Tian Shen Jue'!"

"If other people say such remarks, although I may not appreciate them, I will not be angry—but when these words come from you, a young minister of Dali Temple, I am extremely disappointed!"

"His Majesty!"

Sun Shaozong slammed his head on the ground with a bang, then raised his head in a loss of composure, and said in shame with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty is in a daze, so... I don't know His Majesty's painstaking efforts, and I beg Your Majesty to apologise!"

Saying that, he crawled on the ground again.

However, what he was pondering in his heart was: he had indeed violated a taboo this time, but the emperor's thunderous anger seemed a little too much.

Could it be that……

The emperor lost control of his emotions because he had found out about the case of 'boys and girls'?

And Emperor Guangde just saw him crying bitterly, but how could he know that he was imprisoned?

"Ugh."

Feeling that the time is almost ready, he sighed after the case: "After all, you are young and inexperienced, and it is inevitable to be confused for a while. Fortunately, you did not act in private, but reported it to me first, so that you will not be wrong in the end."

There was a pause at this point, and then he said: "This time, I will fine the salary for one month first as an example to others. If there is another offense, I will definitely not forgive you lightly!"
