Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 456

The emperor frowned: "Slow trial? The ironclad evidence is so strong, what else needs to be tried? This kind of corrupt officials who take away the people's fat and the people's anointing, the moths of the country, I can't keep them."

Regardless of the awe-inspiring righteousness that the emperor said, in fact, several veteran officials who knew him knew that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to dump things into his inner treasury when he was raiding Luo Qiusheng's mansion.

At this moment, the eldest princess said, "Your Majesty, I believe that both the matter of Gengshan and Luo Qiusheng need to be carefully examined, and a conclusion cannot be made now."

The emperor looked at his elder sister with a bitter face, and then said: "The eldest princess doesn't know something, I have sent Mao Buping and Bian Xiuzhu to investigate this case before, and it has been a whole month to investigate these, how can I do it again?" drag?"

Princess Changyue said with a cold face: "Oh? Have you checked it out?"

None of the civil and military personnel in the Manchu dynasty dared to answer. Above, the emperor swallowed, "Here are all the investigations I found yesterday. If the eldest princess wants to see it, then take it and have a look."

In fact, at this moment, Princess Changyue had a stack of documents in front of her.

Princess Changyue said slowly, "No need, I've seen all this just now."

If it were another courtier who said this, the emperor would not only not give face, but even angrily reprimanded him not to disturb the process of handling the case.But now it was Princess Changyue, his own older sister who was speaking, and he dared not speak like that.

The eldest princess glanced at the emperor, then glanced at the other ministers, and then said: "There is a major doubt in this case that has not been resolved, how can we go to trial so easily?"

Everyone was shocked, and there are still doubts?
Only a few important ministers looked at each other. Others didn't know, but they knew. There were indeed doubts in it, and it was very important.

The emperor said directly: "Princess, the trial of this case has been very clear. Let's not mention the iron mine case for the time being. This Luo Qiusheng has been corrupt and bribed many times during his tenure as the magistrate. Every crime of such a person is enough to make people feel guilty." He asks to be cut after autumn."

Luo Qiusheng, the official department has uploaded his information in the past few days, and the emperor has seen it with his own eyes.

This person had a mediocre background before he became an official. He was just a commoner, but in the few years after he became an official, his family was replaced by a big house. There were rows of shops in his hometown, and Longmen suddenly became a local A big family with a head and a face.

After Luo Qiusheng's steady promotion later on, the Luo family's influence in the local area became more and more powerful. Now, the Luo family has become a local overlord, even the local government is not as powerful as the Luo family.

The emperor considered himself the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, so he naturally didn't want such moths in his land, so he hated Luo Qiusheng very much in his heart.No matter what the reason is, this Luo Qiusheng must be dealt with first, he wants to show the whole world how he will never tolerate this matter.

But Princess Changyue didn't give him this face, she said lightly: "Your Majesty is right, Luo Qiusheng is indeed not worthy of being an official, and what he has done is a big enough matter to be punished, but His Majesty has ignored one thing." Question, why did Luo Qiusheng get arrested only now?"

Before the emperor could speak, Princess Changyuechang said: "This case was originally drawn from the iron ore case. Now that the iron ore case has not yet been judged, Your Majesty is going to convict Luo Qiusheng first? Follow up on the iron ore case." What about the lack of witnesses?"

The emperor's complexion changed, and being pointed out by the eldest princess in front of all civil and military officials made him feel somewhat uncomfortable, but more of it was a trace of panic. He always felt that the eldest princess had seen through his little thoughts.

After a pause, he nodded and said: "The eldest princess is right, so I will postpone the matter of Luo Qiusheng, and first investigate the iron mine case and get to the bottom of it."

Princess Changyuechang said: "Besides this problem, there is one more thing. Since this iron ore really exists, where has the iron ore been transported by Gengshan in the past few years? Is it sold for profit or is it in my hands? inside?"

The meaning of these words is profound, but the people in the court are all shocked, even the emperor himself broke out in a cold sweat, what sister said is...

Only a few veterans were relieved, so seeing this, Qin Zhao immediately knelt down: "The eldest princess is right, why is such a big mine empty now? Those account books record the flow of water, where does the iron ore go?" ? Surely His Majesty will check it out!"

When the prime minister Qin Zhao knelt, Xie Changyun from Yushitai, Mao Buping from Shangshusheng, and six other ministers all knelt down. For a moment, the hall was filled with voices of "Please Your Majesty to investigate clearly".

The emperor's forehead twitched when he heard it, and at the same time he was worried and dissatisfied with the eldest princess. My sister is really, why didn't you tell him about such a big matter in private?He chose to say when there are so many civil and military officials around, how can he save his face as a king?

That's right, in the emperor's heart, he himself didn't discover this omission, but the eldest princess discovered it, and then brought it up in front of everyone, and it was his face as a king.

It's just that he also has some fear and worry in his heart. If Sister A didn't find out about this, would it have been fooled by this matter?That's iron ore!

If Gengshan really sold the iron ore, where did he sell it?Non-governmental, or other countries?If so...

Thinking of this, the emperor's face turned pale, and immediately he threw the bag in his hand on the important minister below, and said angrily: "You guys are all ministers of my Great Yan Dynasty, why didn't you find out about this omission? "

Qin Zhao and the others turned pale. They were fascinated by the case and the accounts. They did not notice this omission, but they did not intend to deal with the case immediately like the emperor!
When has such a big case not been investigated for a year or so before the truth is revealed?
Moreover, Sun Qingming, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had already discovered this omission yesterday, and he wanted to bring it up today, but now he has been accused by the emperor of being incompetent, what else can they do?They can only admit it.

"Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

After finally catching the mistakes of several important ministers, the emperor certainly wanted to punish them, but thinking of the omissions this time, how could he punish them?
For the current plan, the case should still be the most important thing.

But if he is not punished, how can he show his majesty as an emperor?If there is anything wrong with him on weekdays, old ministers like Qin Zhao will naturally remind him, and now it is precisely these old ministers who have made mistakes...

The emperor frowned and coughed lightly, just at this time the eldest princess delivered the words: "There is indeed an omission in this matter that the adults did not notice, but now that the court is employing people, it should not be severely punished. In my opinion, your majesty is not as good as Punish the salary of several adults!"

If something happened to any of the princes in the court, it would be related to various issues of people's livelihood, let alone a group of people.

Therefore, the topic of the eldest princess is just right.

The emperor immediately said: "The eldest princess is right. The state owns the state laws, and the family has family rules. Although you are important ministers, you should be punished if you make mistakes. Let's do this. Each of you will be fined for one year's salary."

For the adults, the salary is just a drop in the bucket of their family assets, so they are not dissatisfied, but they all knelt down and accepted the punishment.

At this point, the matter is naturally over.
