Chapter 120 There is no connection at all! [Please give me a monthly ticket! 】
"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty! Long live Tianan!"
The two middle-aged men immediately became serious, saluted respectfully, and lowered their heads.
A man wearing a dragon robe entered from the door, walked neatly behind the desk, and sat on a chair. He has a thin appearance and a slightly unhealthy dull complexion, which may be due to the bright yellow robe that makes him appear darker.
Sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with a condensed divine light. He is in his fifties and has a slight beard under his lips.
Just looking at his appearance, there doesn't seem to be anything scary about this frail old man. But he seemed to carry an invisible majesty, which made the two important ministers feel awkward. His eyes swept across the steps, as if there was rolling thunder.
This person is naturally the current emperor of the Yin Dynasty, Mubei Emperor, Jiang Duo, who has been in power for thirty years.
His talents and strategies are recognized as being among the top three emperors in the Yin Dynasty for thousands of years. Only the lofty founding emperor Taizu and the Daxing Emperor who rejuvenated the country five hundred years ago can make greater contributions. this.
Behind him was a tall and burly old eunuch with gray hair, a brocade robe and a crown, with eagle eyes, standing silently behind the throne.
If it weren't for the eunuch's attire to show his identity, his majestic appearance would not be like a eunuch, but like a general in the army.
It was the most trusted Yinmajian around Emperor Mubei who was in charge, known as the Dusk Tiger of the Imperial City, Cao Wujiu.
The rest of the waiters stood outside and did not dare to enter. These four people in the palace represent the center of power in the Jiuzhou Yin Dynasty.
Mortals will feel frightened if they are close to a dragon or a tiger.
"Cough." Mu Beidi coughed first, and then said: "Sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two prime ministers on the left and right stood up straight.
Cao Wujiu walked down the steps with a tray in his hand. Song Zhili and Liang Fuguo placed all the memorials in their sleeves on the tray, and Cao Wujiu presented them to the emperor's desk.
Mu Beidi opened the memorial and read through it slowly. His expression was neither sad nor happy, with no emotion at all.
After a while, he put down a memorial and said: "Meng Shouyu has been in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than ten years, and the national treasury has become increasingly surplus. He has never encountered difficulties in providing relief from all directions. However, there are still people who criticize him repeatedly. It is really too much. "
Song Zhili said: "The Ministry of Households is in charge of the national treasury, which is a top priority. It is inevitable that people will pay attention to it. It is also a good thing to have multiple supervisions. Meng Shangshu is upright and has never engaged in corruption for personal gain. This is. What everyone has seen with your own eyes is that there are many things in one department, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions. It is normal for some people to question it. Isn't this the duty of the censor? It's for the good of the court, not out of selfish motives or party affiliation." Mu Beidi said.
As soon as these words came out, Song Zhili remained silent and Liang Fuguo stood silently.
Even though Meng Shou was ignorant and highly respected, it can be said that it is the duty of an official to find fault. It was just a few words, and the emperor should not take it to heart.
Not to mention Meng Shouyu, even Mu Beidi's own mother was often scolded by officials.
I have never seen him pay attention to it before, but today I brought it up emphatically.
I’m afraid it’s a bit profound to say this at this time.
Since the matter at hand is of no importance, then in the emperor's heart, who is selfish and partisan?
After putting down Song Zhili’s book, he picked up Liang Fuguo’s book.
"Nanzhou Chamber of Commerce?" Mu Beidi read for a moment, looked up at Liang Fuguo, as if he had just learned about the matter, and said, "A president of a chamber of commerce dares to sue the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He must have been forced to do so."
"Whether Yang Panshi's lawsuit against Lu Guozhang is an act of righteous indignation or something out of thin air is unknown," Liang Fuguo replied with an expressionless face, "Wait until Long Yuan Mansion investigates. Only after that can we know the truth."
"How can Longyuan Mansion dare to investigate the current emperor?" Mu Beidi said directly: "It just so happened that the Ministry of Punishment had not been investigating the corruption case of the Ministry of Works for a long time, so the matter was handed over. Let the Ministry of Justice handle the case together. Concubine Lu has complained to me many times. Prime Minister Zuo should settle the case as soon as possible.”
"I accept the decree." Liang Fuguo responded.
"As for Fuyang's case..." Mu Beidi looked behind him and asked again, "The murderer has been caught. Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"
His eyes were dark, and there seemed to be sadness.
Fuyang's daughter was lively and cute when she was a child. She was once his favorite child, but since that incident happened...
She has become more and more rebellious, and he can only turn a blind eye to it. .
But no matter how disobedient she was, she was still his own child. Now that she died suddenly, Mu Beidi would still feel sad for her.
"The name of the person arrested at the scene is Liang Yue. He is the Imperial Guard who was awarded a reward by His Majesty for preventing the Babel Tower case. He is currently serving as the Execution Division and is accompanied by the Prince." Liang Fuguo replied.
Green smoke curled up from the golden furnaces with animal mouths on both sides, and the sun shone in diagonally, making the palace quiet for a while.
Mu Beidi thought for a moment and said: "Even if he saves my son, can he kill my daughter? Even if he is a disciple of Xuanmen, the teacher behind him should be reasonable. He will not do it because of Are you dissatisfied with this?"
"His master and Chen Su found Wei Chen's door together today. They meant that the person he killed was not the person he killed. Chen Su also went to listen to Liang Yue in person. The defense does have some truth, but it still needs evidence to prove it." Liang Fuguo said slowly: "If he wants to convince his seniors, the case needs to be thoroughly investigated."
"Then just investigate." Mu Beidi said: "If there is anything fishy in it, we should acquit the person, let alone let the real culprit go unpunished."
"Liang Yue means..." Liang Fuguo said again Said: "He wants to investigate this case himself."
"Investigate it himself?" Mu Beidi frowned. "He was able to prevent the Tower of Babel case before because he was very resourceful and quick-thinking, and was a good handler in investigating cases." Liang Fuguo said: "Now that it is about his family and his life, he doesn't feel comfortable leaving the case to others... ”
This matter sounds really contrary to common sense. As a leftist prime minister, he did not refute this bizarre request on the spot. Instead, he conveyed it to the emperor’s ears, which shows that he at least approved it. of this matter.
I am afraid that only Liang Fuguo in the DPRK dared to do this.
Your Majesty, your biological daughter was killed.
And the scene is quite unsightly.
Now I plan to let the person who is most likely to be the murderer investigate the case on his own and give him a chance to prove his innocence.
I know this may not make sense.
But can you give your brother some face?
If there were another person standing here, I am afraid that they would immediately celebrate the reunion of the nine tribes under the spring.
"Could it be that the people in the Criminal Department are not as good as him in investigating crimes? Or does he suspect that the people in the Criminal Department are not impartial enough?" Mu Beidi asked in a deep voice.
Liang Fuguo paused and did not reply immediately.
Song Zhili said at the right time: "Your Majesty, I think this plan is feasible."
"Oh?" Mu Beidi turned to look at him, "What do you think, right minister?"
"Since the establishment of Zhuxie Yamen, it has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in eradicating Jiu Yang's spies. But for these Xuanmen Immortal Officials have always had no titles or rewards. His Majesty sometimes lets Wei Chen think of ways to reward them, but Wei Chen is also very troubled by this. Nowadays, it is rare to have an opportunity to show favor. , Properly handling it can make Xuanmen Immortal Officials more loyal to the court. This is one of them."
"Xuanmen Immortal Officials always go their own way in doing things and have bad relations with various departments, including the Ministry of Punishment. A little distrust is normal. This is the right time for them to cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment, show their fairness and strictness, and bridge the relationship between the Zhuxie Division and the Ministry of Punishment."
"And. Liang Yue dared to make such a request. I think it reflects his magnanimity. If he wanted to forge perjury and get away with it, he would not make such a request. As long as the case is investigated by colleagues from the Zhuxie Division, why bother to personally investigate and deal with unwarranted accusations? This shows that he is extremely determined to find out the truth. Perhaps the person who is most likely to find out the real murderer of Princess Fuyang is himself. This is the third reason why Princess Fuyang can rest in peace. "
Song Zhili Xiaozhi spoke emotionally and rationally, and finally concluded: "I think this matter is feasible, as long as the Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the case in name and supervises it in practice. Just ask him to do anything that goes beyond the law.”
Mu Beidi nodded slightly after listening to what he said.
If we only focus on this one case, it would be outrageous to let the biggest suspect be investigated. But if you think about it as the right minister said, from the perspective of the relationship with Xuanmen, this is indeed a good opportunity.
Once the perspective is changed, the outrageous things don’t seem so strange anymore.
Liang Fuguo was also quite impressed when he heard this.
I have to admit that in terms of the charm of language, he is far inferior to Song Zhili.
"What the right minister said is reasonable. The relationship between the imperial court and Xuanmen has always been delicate. It would be okay to use some extraordinary measures." Mu Beidi finally agreed: "I will give him three days. If the real culprit can be found, there is another one." If there is no other inside story, then even the Xuanmen Immortal Official will have to submit to Wang Fa. "By the way, Emperor Mu Bei suddenly turned to Liang Fuguo." This son's surname is Liang, does it have anything to do with you?"
Liang Fuguo immediately denied it: "Your Majesty, this son has nothing to do with the Liang family!"
...
Soon after, the left and right prime ministers walked out of the Qinzheng Palace side by side, and were escorted by a team of imperial guards to the door.
It wasn't until they boarded their respective cars that the Imperial City Guards retreated. Liang Fuguo whispered to Song Zhili, "Come to my house to eat crabs tonight."
Song Zhili grabbed his sleeve and said, He whispered: "You are too impatient. The party members of the Ministry of Industry have been cut down to the level of minister. It was a great victory. Now you are directly attacking Lu Guozhang. His Majesty is obviously not happy. Stop it quickly."
< br>Liang Fuguo simply replied with four words: "Just wait and see what happens."
After a pause, he said again: "Since you have concerns, just wait until the matter is over before eating crabs."
>
After saying a few words, the two of them boarded the car separately.
When Liang Fuguo boarded the car, he saw the masked guard carrying a golden scythe looking at him, also looking like he was hesitant to speak.
He then asked: "Jinyan, do you have something to say?"
"Lord Zuo Xiang." The masked guard said: "I shouldn't talk too much, but for the sake of For your own safety, I should remind you."
"What?" Liang Fuguo asked.
"Next time, don't let people get close to you easily, especially don't let people get on the bus easily." The masked guard warned: "The two people who boarded the bus before are Mr. Chen of Zhuxie Division who are familiar with you, and they are also familiar with you. Forget it. But when I look at the strange Taoist priest, I feel unfathomable and frightened by the prying eyes. If he wants to attack Mr. Zuo, I am afraid... that I will not be able to save him."
"Haha." Liang Fuguo laughed loudly and patted the guard on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Jinlian, I have a sense of proportion."
After a pause, he added: "As long as I don't want to die, there is nothing in the world People can kill me.”
