The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 826

Chapter 826

(Everyone, Chapter 2 has not been written yet, so I can only prevent theft. I am afraid that it will be corrected at noon tomorrow!)

Time came to the second day.

Early in the morning, officials from the Ministry of Punishment entered the palace to report to the emperor about the Cao family.

The Ministry of Punishment is a big yamen, and it is connected with the third-level yamen of the prefectures and counties, so the speed of news flow is relatively slow.

They were notified only yesterday afternoon, but what was sent back at that time was the preliminary investigation, and it was already the time when the palace gate was closed, so they did not enter the palace to report the situation.

In other words, the Cao family, as the person concerned, obtained the case information faster, so that they found it in the palace first.

This morning, several high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Punishment learned of what happened in the forbidden palace, so they rushed into the palace right now.

The emperor and the queen mother had a quarrel, which was not an ordinary event. If the emperor's mother and son turned against each other due to the inadvertent handling of the Ministry of Punishment, then their crime would be serious.

In Qian'an Palace, Zhao Yanxun was still a little puzzled when he learned that the people from the Ministry of Punishment had come to find him.

"Could it be that Lin Quan explained the situation?"

Due to poor information, Zhao Yanxun was unable to grasp the overall situation of the matter in every detail.

Lin Quan took someone to hand over, but the senior officials of the Ministry of Punishment went directly to Qian'an Palace, and just missed Lin Quan.

"Let them in!"

"Yes!"

After a while, Wen Zongguo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Cai Xinghai, the Minister of Justice, walked in.

The former was supported by the former minister, while the latter was judged by Yongwang's mansion, and he became the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

"Kill the emperor!"

"Exemption!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

"You entered the palace, why?"

"My Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is responsible for checking the taxes and taxes. Yesterday afternoon, I got a summary of the situation, and Tao Yangbo's Mansion was involved!"

"Tao Yangbo's mansion has worked hard and made great achievements, and the ministers dare not dispose of it without authorization, so I ask the emperor to show me!"

Wen Zongguo's words made Zhao Yanxun a little confused.

But one thing he can be sure of is that these people haven't met Lin Quan yet, otherwise they wouldn't have made this trip.

"What's the situation, please tell me in detail!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.

When Wen Zongguo introduced the situation, Zhao Yanxun summoned Wu Hong in a low voice and asked him to send someone to pass orders to Lin Quan, telling Lin Quan not to go to the Ministry of Punishment for the time being.

Judging from the meaning of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they also have the idea of ​​releasing water, so there is no need for Lin Quan to intervene again, it seems too deliberate.

After carefully listening to the Ministry of Criminal Justice's narration, Zhao Yanxun asked: "What is the Ministry of Criminal Justice's opinion on this case?"

How to answer next will test Wen Zongguo's judgment on the situation.

If the law is strictly enforced, it will inevitably offend the queen mother, and may even embarrass the emperor.

But if you choose to let the water go, the queen mother is justified, but what if the emperor wants to kill chickens and monkeys?

So the crux of the problem is to accurately understand Zhao Yanxun's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, Tao Yangbo's mansion has been re-established, and the management from top to bottom is chaotic. I think... maybe the people below have made their own decisions!"

"Although the Cao family is guilty, it is a crime of negligence, and it is enough to have a secretary!"

Wen Zongguo's words showed his attitude.

It was the best result for Zhao Yanxun that the Ministry of Punishments took the initiative to give such an answer, at least he did not intervene in it.

But at this time, Zhao Yanxun asked Cai Xinghai who was on the side again.

"Cai Qing, what do you think?"

Cai Xinghai came quickly to be upright and upright. If he and Wen Zongguo had the same opinion, then this matter would come to a conclusion.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think what Mr. Wen said is reasonable!"

Before coming, the two of them had already discussed and reached a consensus.

Zhao Yanxun nodded, thought for a few seconds, and finally said: "Since the Ministry of Punishment has made a claim on this matter, let's do it according to your wishes!"

"According to the order!"

"If you have nothing to do, go to work!"

"Yes!"

After the two men retreated, Wu Hong quickly came back to report, but Lin Quan's handover had not yet been carried out.

This is the best way, so Zhao Yanxun said: "Let him not interfere in this matter!"

"Yes!"

At this point, even if the matter is satisfactorily resolved, the Empress Dowager will feel more at ease after the news spreads.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yanxun felt a little better, and then continued to deal with government affairs.

It was difficult to hide the news in the palace. Officials from the Ministry of Punishment entered Qian'an Palace and were soon informed by the Queen Mother.

Although I don't know the content of the conversation in Qian'an Palace, the Empress Dowager also has her own method, which is to send someone to the Ministry of Punishment to inquire about the news.

Wen Zongguo and his two went to Qian'an Palace to prevent the empress dowager from getting into trouble. Now that the matter has come to an end, the two of them naturally want to close the case in a fair manner.

Therefore, information about the case of the Cao family can easily be inquired by people from Cao Miaoyin's faction.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has closed the case against Tao Yangbo Mansion!"

"How is the sentence?" Cao Miaoyin asked.

"The Cao family is not under strict control, the Ministry of Punishment will send officers to punish and fine the uncle's family with three months' salary!"

Hearing this, Cao Miaoyin showed a smile, and said slowly: "Not strict control, this is a good crime!"

The officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are willing to take the initiative to close the case, which shows that they still have weight in the hearts of these people.

Of course, the most important thing is that the emperor is willing to make concessions to make Cao Miaoyin happier.

Seeing her smile, all the people serving in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, the hard days were finally over.

At this time, the old mother reminded: "Queen Mother, it's time for lunch!"

Not to mention, Cao Miaoyin was really hungry at this time.

Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for her to continue the hunger strike, so she nodded and let Chuanshan go.

The ladies of the palace immediately got busy, and the small kitchen worked fast, and soon a lunch was ready.

In a happy mood, Cao Miaoyin ate deliciously.

However, there is still a problem for her right now, and that is how to repair the relationship with her son.

But no matter what, the matter of the Cao family is finally over, so there is no need to worry about it.

But many times, things just don’t work out as expected.

In the afternoon, an urgent official document was sent back to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice.

"This...how can this be done!" Wen Zongguo was full of sorrow, and couldn't help patting on the desk.

Hearing the news from the duty room, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were all puzzled and guessed what happened.

Others could only be puzzled, while Cai Xinghai came to Wen Zongguo's room.

"My lord, what's the big deal?" Cai Xinghai looked serious.

"Look for yourself!" Wen Zongguo couldn't help sighing as he handed out the document.

Cai Xinghai quickly took it over to look at it, and he was dumbfounded when he saw it, and then he became furious.

In the end, Cai Xinghai cursed viciously: "The Cao family is really stupid, they are looking for their own death, they deserve to be killed!"

Stopping Cai Xinghai from venting his anger, Wen Zongguo said in a deep voice, "This matter cannot be made public..."

Cai Xinghai immediately interrupted: "Such a big matter, do you think you can hide it?"

Wen Zongguo was silent, and finally said helplessly: "Things have changed like this, the previous discussion may be unsustainable, we still have to see the emperor!"

After thinking for a while, Cai Xinghai nodded and said, "Let's go now, I don't know what will happen if it's too late!"

"Then go!"

Under the surprised eyes of officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Wen Zongguo and the others hurriedly left the Yamen.

The two of them didn't know that in the yamen behind them, several officials were sneering.
