Chapter 1623: Tiger Girl 107
After the officials yelled at the prince and sent him away, he issued an edict to punish himself at night.
This means that many officials gathered to invade the palace. Fortunately, the official's dragon body recovered in time, which did not lead to instability in the court and national movement. After learning from the experience, I feel that I failed to fulfill my duty of supervision, which resulted in officials being lax and impulsive.
I will definitely work diligently in the future to live up to the empire laid down by our great ancestors and the people of Li.
If you sin in a high-sounding way, the next step is punishment.
All participating officials were fined three months' salary; the official who took the lead in the instigation was fined half a year's salary and demoted one level.
King An, King Hua, and Duke Rong were ordered to guard the imperial mausoleum and were not allowed to enter the capital without an edict.
This punishment is neither severe nor light.
The fine and salary don't matter, the filial piety from each place and the income from their respective shops and farms are far more than the salary. Even if he was demoted to one level, and because he offended Tianwei, he didn't know that it would take years of monkeys, horses, and months to be promoted back.
Those officials who were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and were given two meals a day of rotten rice, moldy cornstarch, and severe torture originally thought that they were definitely doomed this time, and it was good to be able to save themselves and their families. Unexpectedly, he was released after a few days of hard life.
However, all of them had disheveled hair, haggard appearance, and even brought back a few lice with them.
Some of those who could not endure the punishment had their confessions recorded, and the signed confessions were placed on the official Long Case. Many old cases, major and important cases came to light, and once again made the officials half-dead angry. . So some of them had just arrived at the door of their homes, and before they even crossed the threshold, they were arrested and taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
At the same time, the Zhenguo General's Mansion also received the imperial edict and sent three copies as soon as it came.
The first part is that General Zhao’s concubine, the Xu family, was a hidden target of the Huns. Although General Zhao didn’t know it, he was guilty of oversight. Fortunately, no big mistake was made, so he was fined one year as a warning to others. In addition, the two daughters born to the Xu family were not as guilty as their parents, so they were not punished.
The second one is about Zhao Yingyue's literary and military skills. He has been guarding the border with his father for more than three years, so he was promoted to General Ningyuan.
In the third copy, Zhao Yinghong was well educated and canonized as the head of the county.
A year's salary is nothing. As long as the Huns and Tatars are defeated once, the military merits and rewards will be compensated. Moreover, he promoted his three legitimate sons to the rank of fifth-rank general, and his legitimate daughter to the title of county head. This seemed to be a heavy punishment, but in fact it was a favor to his descendants.
Although there are countless honors and nobles in the capital, it is rare for someone to climb up the ranks relying on military merit and be so young. Zhao Yingyue became a fifth-grade general just after she turned eighteen, which was her only one.
And Zhao Yinghong is going to marry the eldest son of the Zhou family who is just a scholar. Now she has the title of county head. Even if Zhou Zexian fails in the scientific examination, her status is more noble than ordinary noble girls.
After Xining thanked him, he accepted the imperial edict. After getting up, I breathed a sigh of relief. This mission will definitely be completed. I will wait for the announcement before the wedding that the mission is completed, leave, and then I can live comfortably for a while in the following days.
All the imperial edicts were enshrined in the ancestral hall. After having a happy meal, the whole family returned to their own courtyards.
Of course, this reunion dinner has nothing to do with the old lady and the second wife. When punishing the female relatives of officials who broke into the palace, the officials did not forget that the old lady brought a false letter of collaboration with the enemy to the palace to complain, and downgraded the imperial edict of the old lady and the second wife Chen's imperial edict by one level. The second master has been paralyzed for many years for the country. Even if he knew this, he might not be able to stop him and avoid punishment. However, the second wife and the old lady all moved back to the ancestral home in Shaoyang to take care of themselves.
This is like dividing the family in disguise. At this time, the old lady and the second bedroom have no time or mood to eat this meal, so they will not be disturbed to pack their things and prepare to move to the ancestral home.
The south-facing courtyard that had been occupied by the second bedroom for more than thirty years was about to be vacated. Mrs. Zhao planned to live in it herself and General Zhao, and the entire Beiding Garden would be given to the prince.
In March, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.
Even if your body is afraid of the cold, you can still take off your cotton-padded clothes.
In the yard, Zhao Yingyue was sparring with Zhao Heming. Zhao Heming seemed to have grown taller, but he was not as tall as Zhao Yingyue and was thinner. After a few moments, Zhao Yingyue was beaten until he screamed and shouted for his sister-in-law to come out. The third uncle bullied him again. This made the maid in the yard laugh so hard.
Xining walked out wearing a short game. Zhao Yingyue was stunned for a moment, but Zhao Heming took the opportunity to kick him. He took several steps back and almost fell to the ground.
Zhao Heming also saw it and was extremely surprised: "Sister-in-law, you also want to practice martial arts?"
"Yes!" Xining looked around, picked the wooden stake, walked over and started practicing.
Experts look at the door, while laymen look at the excitement. The uncle and nephew knew at a glance that although it looked good and the movements were in place, it was just a show, and it was extremely brittle and had no strength at all. But no matter how hard you practice, practicing martial arts can strengthen your body anyway.
When the words reached Mrs. Zhao's ears, she originally wanted to stop her, but thinking of Zhao Yinghong's beautiful body like a lamp, she let her go.
So Xining wakes up every day, washes up, and goes out to practice martial arts with her uncle and nephew. They practice theirs, and she practices hers. It was definitely too late to do the Zama Step, so I just practiced the wooden stakes to increase my arm strength. My daily life became regular. After a month, I didn't get any disease and I felt better.
Zhao Yingyue saw her interest and taught her some simple stick techniques. At a quick glance, it looks a bit cool, but unfortunately it's still just a showpiece.
One day after practicing for a while, while chatting during the break, Zhao Heming mentioned his future uncle, which made Xining laugh and cry. He grabbed a stick and chased after him.
As a result, I saw Zhao Yinglei and Zhou Zexian's younger brother Zhou Zeming.
I didn't know Zhou Zeming would come, but when I arrived, I saw her chasing Zhao Heming with a stick. No matter how thick Xi Ning's old face is, he still can't bear it. How will this make the future brother-in-law regard the body master?
Xining quickly threw away the stick and went to say hello to his elder brother.
But Zhao Heming walked over and patted Zhou Zeming on the shoulder carelessly: "Don't be surprised, my sister-in-law and I often play around like this."
He often made fun... Seeing Zhou Zeming's increasingly surprised expression, Xining really wanted to pick up the stick and really beat Zhao Heming.
After knowing that Miss Zhao was a general, seeing this scene really shocked Zhou Zeming's heart. It took a long time before the words came out: "My brother and I are not good at martial arts. My sister-in-law must be merciful when she plays with my brother in the future."
"Pfft~" Xining vomited three liters of blood.
"Hahaha..." The uncle and nephew laughed together.
After Zhou Zeming came, he said one thing: after an official was punished in various ways, the official issued an order to punish him early!
Generally speaking, the military examinations in various Luzhou prefectures are held in August, while the examinations for scholars by the Ministry of Rites are usually in February of the following year, and the palace examinations are in April.
This time, regardless of the civil and military examinations, they will all be held in August and September.
This time Enko is over, and next year's scheduled Enko will continue. Including the normal start of the exam the year after next, it equals three exams in two years!
The reason is very simple. There are still many officials with problems, and a group needs to be selected as soon as possible. If you think about the implications of this kind of selection, it will take at least a month for Enke information to be distributed to all counties and states. Those in remote areas often have to rush to Beijing half a year in advance to take exams.
So this time Enke is basically students from the capital and nearby areas. And these students are more familiar with the capital city than students in remote areas.
