Chapter 1423 The Faint Empress 46
After lunch, Xining went to Qinzheng Hall full of energy.

After entering the hall, a group of ministers and workers were reviewing the papers just like yesterday.The place was moved from the outside to the inside yesterday, and although the playbooks were still piled up like a mountain, it was obviously not as messy as yesterday.

With a day's experience, everyone continued in an orderly and leisurely manner.

There are a total of [-] people here, and hundreds of copies of the papers. Basically, three people check and review a paper, so basically one person needs to pass more than [-] papers, plus the papers of the current month that have not been completed yesterday, the workload Still pretty big.

King Duan sat in the innermost position of all the positions. According to the way of schools and exams, he faced the door, and the positions of the ministers were placed five on the left and five on the left.

Seeing the Empress coming, everyone put down the papers in their hands and knelt down to salute.

Xi Ning said a few words, and walked to Duan Wang's place.The ministers and workers all stood up, sat back to their original positions, and continued to read the paper.

Randomly picked up a pre-approved copy on the table, opened it, and roughly looked at it: "Brother Huang is tired."

"It's my duty to share your majesty's worries." King Duan's voice was weak, because there were about ten of the most important ones in the daily letters, which seemed to be few, and they were all exhausting.

After reading this, Xining nodded, it was handled well.He took another copy to read, and then said softly: "Brother Huang, this matter cannot be done like this."

This matter was handed over by Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. The Lin family, a local squire in Heyuan County, sued Zhao Gan, the only son of the Zhao family, to send a matchmaker over to see that the daughter of the Lin family was beautiful.The Lin family felt that Zhao Gan usually had a bad reputation and frivolous behavior, so he refused to agree to the marriage.

Zhao Gan then tied the daughter of the Lin family back to the mansion halfway. On the day of the forced marriage, the daughter of the Lin family inserted a golden hairpin into his chest and committed suicide.

The Lin family went to the county government to sue, but the Zhao family denied everything. As a result, the county government was afraid of the power of the Zhao family and sentenced the Lin family to lose the lawsuit.

The Lin family refused to accept it, so Zhao Qian sent people to ambush him on the road.On the way to appeal, Lin Jia Dalang was broken by a leg, and the head of the family got stuck when his daughter died and his son was broken again, so he vomited blood in anger.

Later, the Lin family tried their best to sneak to Shuntian Mansion, and only then did they sue.

Now Shuntian Fu Yin has completed the trial of the matter. Considering the special nature of the Zhao family, he reported it according to the facts and asked the Tian family to make a decision.

Xining handed the Zhazi to King Duan, and King Duan looked at it: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

She asked: "Brother Huang, do you know which Zhao Qian's family is?"

Duan Wang replied: "It is the mother and concubine of the King of Thailand, and the family of Zhao Taifei."

Xining nodded: "That's right! Concubine Zhao is just such a nephew, she is the younger brother of Concubine Zhao, and she had a son in her later years. She pampered her too much in her daily life, and that's why she is domineering and domineering in the local area."

Duan Wang couldn't understand: "Because of this, Zhao Gan should be put to death. The prince broke the law and the same crime as the common people, let alone a foreign relative."

Xining smiled and shook his head: "Brother, think about it, if Zhao Gan is sentenced to death, this Concubine Zhao will go to the King of Thailand and cry, will the King of Thailand help her mother and concubine? Crying and complaining, what happened to the anger. You must know that things in the world are volatile. If the Zhao family finds a good litigator or commits some perjury, and the case is overturned, people will hold the handle. "

After pondering for a while, King Duan respectfully saluted: "Your Majesty, please make a decision."

Xining thought for a while, picked up a cinnabar pen and began to write on it, while Duan Wang watched.

After finishing writing, King Duan couldn't help reading out: "The daughter of the Lin family entered the Zhao family's ancestral grave and was buried as a wife; half of the Zhao family's wealth belongs to the Lin family."

Xi Ning explained: "The Lin family just needs an explanation. People are dead, and those who are injured are also injured. Even if Zhao Gan is sentenced to death, the Lin family will still have to live in the future except for letting out a sigh of relief. Punishment instead of killing, In this way, the Zhao family and the Lin family have the same financial resources, and the Zhao family can't move the Lin family. In addition, Concubine Zhao also has an explanation, at least her nephew's life can be saved."

After King Duan approved, he was worried again: "If the Lin family refuses?"

Unless the brain can't turn the corner, and the Lin family doesn't want money, but just wants to vent their anger, then this matter will be troublesome.

Xining put the Zhazi on the side of the review: "Then sentence Zhao Gan to be executed after the autumn. When the Queen Mother's birthday comes, and the autumn is over, it just so happens that the world needs amnesty. Zhao Gan will be sentenced to exile in Taizhou."

Taizhou is the fiefdom of the King of Thailand. If Concubine Zhao's nephew is sent to Concubine Zhao's son, it is not the empress' fault if she will die or live in the future.

Now Duan Wang laughed, although the execution of the decision can be powerful and pleasing to the hearts of the people, but this method is indeed much better than him directly adjudicating the decision.

He bowed: "Your Majesty is wise, I feel ashamed. I will leave Beijing soon, and the ministers have complaints about my assistant government, but I still..."

Today, I have been exhausted for half a day; this state affairs, if it is not handled well, it will be a major issue.Take advantage of this opportunity to hand over this matter.

Xi Ning sniffed, his eyes were as porphyrinous as a kitten's: "Brother Huang, don't you want me? I'm not in good health yet, Brother Huang, please help me before you leave Beijing."

Come on, you quit, who can I turn to?
He also stretched out his hand to pull Wang Duan's sleeve, squeezed and tugged with two fingers: "Brother Huang, please, Brother Huang..."

Anyway, when the empress left happily, Duan Wang hadn't recovered yet, his mind was still in a daze.

After thinking about it, how could this empress be more flirtatious than those rewarded concubines, and this time she was tricked into it again.

After sighing, he picked up the book and continued to read.

On the second day of King Duan's assistant administration, four more ministers went to the prison by himself, and now there were seven ministers in the prison.

The empress ordered that if officials above rank six wanted to go to jail, they could do so.Not anyone who wants to go to prison can go to prison, and a Beijing official with official rank is also needed.

The governor of Jingzhao personally helped them arrange the cells, one for each of them, and each room was far apart.The door is not locked, but you cannot leave the prison door, otherwise you will be thrown out of the prison directly.

Since you are going to go to prison, the door is open, but you can't mess around and disturb the order in the prison.

Those seven ministers were quite tough at first, but they soon felt that they were a joke.

Family members are not allowed to visit the prison, they are given two meals a day, and the toilets are collected every three days.

On weekdays, someone will clean the toilet at home, even twice a day.Now once every three days, and just pour it down, don't brush it at all, the stench is suffocating.

And the ground here is not straw mats, but straw.Throwing a torn cotton quilt, the white cotton turned black and gave off a sour smell.Fortunately, it is almost summer, otherwise, if it is not covered, it will freeze to death, and if it is covered, it will stink to death.

From time to time, there are half-foot-long mice running around. They are not afraid of people, and even compete with people for food.Be careful when you sleep at night, don't let them bite your ears and toes.

For two meals a day, what was delivered was either moldy thick noodles or rotten rice noodles.Even the vegetables are boiled vegetables with little salt.

The ministers have never suffered this kind of hardship, and they complained as soon as they opened their mouths.

The cell boss in the prison grumbled without a smile on his face: "Oh, my lord, you are a nobleman, so naturally you don't know that the prison food here is not good. We can't treat the prisoners like ancestors. Right. This is a place where you eat and live for free, if you are not used to it, you can leave as you please, the door will still be open for you!"
