Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

The emperor did not have as many emotions as the ministers. He was very satisfied with the result.

There is no need to go to war, let these guys who were once arrogant kneel down and beg for mercy, and actively donate most of their wealth.

It not only fills the national treasury, but also holds their handle. Whenever they make a mistake in the future, they can settle the old and new accounts together.

At the same time, he also left himself a good reputation for tolerance, which can be said to be a double success.

The Queen Mother and Lin Shilang were right. He was the new emperor who had just ascended the throne, and neither his reputation nor his control over the court was sufficient.

It is not advisable to cause too much killing at this time. The best policy is to subjugate the enemy without fighting.

"The first thing is settled. What I want to announce next is the second thing." The emperor was happy and quickly mentioned the second thing.

The ministers, who were distracted because of the unexpected development of the matter, immediately cheered up after hearing this.

By the way, there’s a second thing.

The first thing was so shocking, and the second thing probably won't be easy or dull either.

“The second thing is related to public security in the capital.

Everyone knows the cause, which was the murder case that occurred on Yanque Street the day before yesterday. This case involved a total of six children from aristocratic families.

In broad daylight, so many people from aristocratic families gathered together and openly forced a theater girl to death. It was simply unruly and completely ridiculous.

Is Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Hu Zhen here?" The emperor glanced at everyone, and his eyes stopped on Jingzhao Prefecture Yin.

"I'm here." Hu Zuo, who was called, walked out of the queue.

He is a third-grade Beijing official. Not only is he qualified to participate in the court meeting, but he also stands relatively near the front.

"Has the identity of the deceased in the Yanque Street murder case been found out?" the emperor stared at him and asked.

"Your Majesty, we have found out that the deceased was a good citizen. She signed an ordinary labor contract with the theater. She has sick parents, a young brother and a grandmother at home." Hu Zuo replied.

"Have all the suspects been arrested?"

"Your Majesty, all of them have been arrested and brought to justice."

"Has the real culprit been found?"

"Because time is still short, the suspects and eyewitnesses have different accounts. I still need some time to verify." Cold sweat started to flow from Hu Zuo's forehead in an instant.

The magpie guard told him when he helped escort the man there that day that the Queen Mother asked him to act impartially and punish the murderer severely.

The problem is that none of the six young masters have simple origins, especially Mr. Ruan and Mr. Jiang.

It took great courage for him to detain people in jail and not let their families release them on bail.

Could it be that it was really Lord Ruan who deliberately murdered the person, or that Lord Jiang was the real driving force behind the scenes, and the other people were accomplices.

Does he really want these people to be hanged or exiled?

If he really does this, can his future and life be saved?

"Hu Zuo, as the governor of Jingzhao, your main responsibility is to maintain public security in the capital and educate the people, rather than weighing in and taking into account the identity of the perpetrator.

Don’t you have an idea of ​​what the public security and social atmosphere in the capital have become in recent years?

If the law is not strict, there will be no establishment; if the governance is not strict, there will be no gains.

Since these dandies, who are full of food and have nothing to do, do not take Chao Gang's laws seriously and dare to openly commit murders and provoke Chao Gang's discipline in public, they must accept the sanctions of the law.

I give you five days. Within five days, you must find out the ins and outs of the whole thing.

If it is intentional murder, he should be executed if he should be executed, or exiled if he should be exiled. If it is for other reasons, he should be sentenced according to the law.

If someone attempts to use their position of power to suppress you, you can submit a letter to me.

I want to see who dares to be so lawless and openly disrupt the imperial court.

If you have obtained my will but are still afraid of this or that, then you should stop doing this job as the governor of Jingzhao. I will replace it with someone who is capable and dares to enforce the law impartially. "The young emperor suddenly darkened his face.

Hu Zuo's old face suddenly turned red.

I have been an official for nearly twenty years. Although I have not accomplished much, I have always been law-abiding, conscientious, and conscientious.

As a result, His Majesty pointed out his lack of courage and ignorance in front of all the courtiers...

Is it because he doesn't want to be a selfless and selfless governor of Jingzhao who is praised by everyone?

The problem is that there are so many noble people in the capital, and one stick can knock down several of them.

If he really dared to deny his relatives and enforce the law impartially, he would have been kicked down three years ago when he first took office.

He is not Lin Shilang, he does not have his ability and courage, and he does not have His Majesty behind him to support him.

In this circle of nobles and nobles in the capital, who is he? What can he do?

The more Hu Zuo thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. He could hardly hold back the tears in his eyes.

When the emperor saw Mr. Hu being scolded by him a few times, his eyes were red with grievance, and he seemed about to cry at any moment. He couldn't help but frowned: "Hu Zhen, did you hear what I said?"

"Your Majesty, I obey your decree. The results will be found out within five days and the sentence will be sentenced according to the law." Hu Zuo calmed down, suppressed the grievances and sadness in his heart, and said.

Many officials looked at him with a bit of sadness.

The official position of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin is not low, and the scope of power and jurisdiction is not small, but it is really difficult to be the official.

After listening to the conversation between the two men, the expressions of the five parents involved changed drastically.

Marquis Chengen did not come. He had no actual duties. He never went to court unless the emperor asked.

Among them, the faces of Marquis Pingyang and Prince Consort Jiang were the most ugly.

They originally thought that the deceased was a slave maid. If the deceased was a slave, even if His Majesty wanted to make a big fuss out of this matter, he would not be able to sentence several children to severe sentences.

But the identity of the deceased is a good citizen, which is completely different.

Marquis Pingyang thought that his youngest son might be sentenced to beheading or exiled, and he instantly aged several years.

Thinking about the fuss made by the old mother and wife at home after learning about this incident, they are even more heartbroken.

On October 17, the first year that Emperor Pingxuan came to power, this court meeting that frightened countless people and had ups and downs finally came to an end.

After the court was dismissed, all the courtiers returned home, and those who returned to the Yamen returned to the Yamen.

Chiang's consort, who was the Taizheng doctor at the time, hurried back to the princess mansion immediately after going to court.

When he came in, Ronghua was half lying on the soft couch, letting the maid dye her nails.

"Princess, Your Majesty just pointed out the murder that occurred on Yanque Street the day before yesterday at the court meeting, and asked Hu Zhen to investigate the case strictly. Once evidence is found, all those involved will be severely punished. The deceased was a good citizen."

Consort Jiang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Ronghua waved his hand and told the maid to step back, then turned his attention to Prince Consort Jiang: "Are you worried about Hui'er?"

"It's natural, he's our only son."

"He just watched a play with Zhou Xin and the others, and happened to be at the scene of the murder. It may not have anything to do with the murder.

As long as it has nothing to do with the murder case, when the government finds out, they will naturally let him back. Ronghua replied casually.

"Princess, just in case..." Jiang Consort suddenly became anxious when he heard this.

"What, you don't believe my son? Or do you know something that I don't know?" Ronghua narrowed his eyes and looked at his consort quietly.

He, the consort, was one of the four great princes in Kyoto and the legitimate second son of the second wife of the Jiang family in the Duke of Liang's mansion. His name was Chi.

She had a good appearance, and twenty-six years ago, she was chosen as her consort after being the top pick in high school.

After the two got married, they lived their lives respectfully.

Ronghua is a person with a strong desire for power and is not obsessed with love. The consort is also a smart person and never does anything to make her unhappy.

Talented, handsome and sensible, Ronghua was undoubtedly satisfied with this consort.

But today she suddenly discovered that her consort and eldest son seemed different from what she knew.
