Chapter 92 First glimpse of the official way, thank you, Lord Hou!
The next day.

Crowing.

The pavilions, terraces and pavilions, and the eaves of the market are covered with a thin layer of fine snow.

It snowed in the middle of the night last night and hadn't melted until early morning.

Jiang Gaoyi stepped on the ladder in a daze, looking at the palace on the top, feeling uneasy.

He suddenly felt that the road under his feet was just like his mood at the moment, and it was very suitable for the occasion.

Walking on thin ice.

He remembered Zheng Xiu's request yesterday.

"Master Jiang, I implore you to ask the Holy One to play to the emperor tomorrow morning, saying that I, Zheng Xiu, obeyed the law and never overstepped the law. But now the case of Princess Yurun has not been found out, and until the day when the truth is revealed, I will stay honest In Wangtian Prison. However, in the past two days, Mr. Zheng has contracted a cold and is not feeling well. According to the law of Dagan, to apply for amnesty, one is to seek medical treatment, and the other is to visit relatives."

A repeat offender in the sky prison was pardoned and released from prison.

In the Dagan Law, one of the volumes is hidden in a corner that no one cares about, and there is indeed such an "amnesty law".

For felons detained in heaven prisons, if they are not clearly designated as capital crimes, their detention may be postponed due to various reasons. In some special cases, they may ask the Holy Spirit for a pardon and be released from prison, but no more than three days.

When this law was enacted, the original intention was probably to leave a way for some dignitaries to take advantage of loopholes in the law and stop the mouths of foolish people.

But since the birth of this law, no one has ever used it.

One is that dignitaries, relatives of the emperor, and relatives of the emperor are rarely imprisoned in the four heavenly prisons unless they are convicted of death.

As for the second, any dignitaries who can enter the prison, or the relatives of the emperor, have long since lost power and betrayed their relatives. Who would dare to risk their heads and hats to raise a memorial to the Holy One?

As a result, this "amnesty" law has been nothing but a decoration.

But regulations are regulations after all, written into the Dagan Law.

When Jiang Gaoyi, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, heard that Zheng Xiu was very familiar with the law, and even the first few articles and the first few cases were not bad, he was shocked as if he had seen the number one scholar in the sixth high school. so familiar.

Came to the palace in a daze, Jiang Gaoyi still hadn't made up his mind, standing in the queue of six ministers, Jiang Gaoyi was hesitant to make a decision.

In the early morning, most of the civil and military officials reported good news but not bad news.

Even if someone reported that there was a flood, a drought, or a drought, they would soon reply that the situation has been brought under control, and the victims are living in an orderly manner under the government's relief.

Only reporting worries but not good news shows that an official is useless in his position, and it is a blink of an eye to be dismissed from the field.

In the morning, I also said a few trivial things.

For example, a small country in the Western Regions wanted to send a few beautiful princesses to marry and tie the knot. The three princes shook their heads secretly when they heard this.

Another example is the small-scale disturbance by the barbarians in the north, but it is not a big deal for the soldiers guarding the north to easily repel the disturbing barbarian army.

The three adult princes sat in the left column to observe the political affairs, with different expressions, and remained silent.

Old Wei was wearing a dragon robe and imperial crown, sitting upright on the table, quickly replying to each request for instructions.

The morning court lasted for a full two hours, and Jiang Gaoyi also stood silently for two hours.

"Gentlemen, do you have any other important matters to report?"

Old Wei was full of energy and looked down at the officials, who were silent and did not dare to say more.

"Minister," Jiang Gaoyi suddenly made up his mind, took a step to the left, and said, "Jiang Gaoyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, please play something important."

Old Wei nodded: "But it doesn't matter."

Jiang Gaoyi instantly became the focus of civil and military officials.

These days, many people are trying to get in touch with Jiang Gaoyi openly and secretly.

One is that Jiang Gaoyi, a foreign official, took office as a new official, and he was inexplicably favored. Like the son of destiny, he became a master overnight, which is enviable and enviable; , everyone wanted to draw Jiang Gaoyi into their team.

Forming a party for personal gain is not allowed on the surface, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Jiang Gaoyi took a deep breath, his knees trembling slightly.But after trembling for a while, he thought of Zheng Xiu's calm tone when he spoke, as if he understood something, and suddenly said quietly: "The Zhongliehou of the Zheng family has recently contracted a cold and is not feeling well. I request that on December [-]th, January [-]st, and January [-]nd, I will be released from prison to seek medical treatment and visit my relatives. Today, I am a humble minister, and I have the courage to ask the emperor to make a decision on behalf of Zhongliehou."

After speaking in one breath, Jiang Gaoyi took a step to the right and retreated into the ranks of officials.

heard.

The expressions of the three adult princes who were watching the political affairs changed.

The eldest prince who kept his eyes closed as if he was recuperating opened his eyes.

The second prince was surprised, but more puzzled.

The third prince showed panic, and looked up at the eldest prince.

"Heh...the Marquis Zhonglie."

In the main hall, Old Wei chuckled with unknown meaning, and then asked all the officials: "Do you have any objections from the Zhuqing family?"

The First Prince tapped his fingers lightly, but did not make a sound.

One person stood out from the queue.

It was Zhong Renfeng from the household department, and his official position was two grades lower than that of the dead Shi Wentong.It is said that he is expected to replace the doctor of the household department in the near future, get promoted and make a fortune.

Zhong Renfeng gritted his teeth, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, you absolutely must not. Princess Yurun's body is not yet cold, and the suspicion of being a martyr has not been cleared. Such an application to be released from prison must have other plans."

Someone came forward, and several civil servants and ministers immediately seconded the proposal one after another.

The reason is nothing more than the case of Princess Yurun.

The smile on Old Wei's face became wider and wider, and after several officials finished speaking, he asked, "Jiang Gaoyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, what do you think about the application for release from prison by Zhongliehou, the suspected murderer of Princess Yurun?"

Jiang Gaoyi arched his hands: "I only dare to play for Zhonglie Hou. Whether or not I am amnesty is up to the Holy Majesty to decide. I dare not speak rashly."

I am Nima!
Jiang Gaoyi's words instantly made the officials who came out to speak darken their faces!

Didn't you bring up this topic?
The Holy Majesty asks our opinion and we give our opinion, what is wrong?
How did we become "false talk" in your mouth?
"Hehe," Old Wei said with a smile, "You are in the high position of Minister of Punishment, so you can tell me what your duty is."

Jiang Gaoyi secretly wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and loudly announced the "amnesty regulations" hidden in the corner of the first order and the first order, and finally said: "The request of the loyal marquis is in line with the law."

Old Wei nodded with a smile, turned his eyes around the civil and military officials with a half-smile, and then asked: "The other Qing family, do you still have objections?"

The emperor seems to have dropped the accent on the word "return".

There was a dead silence in the hall, and all the officials bowed their heads and remained silent.

Everyone is old-fashioned in the officialdom, where can't you hear the deep meaning in the emperor's words?Where can't figure out the subtle atmosphere in the palace?
Now that he shows up again, it will really become what Jiang Gaoyi's old shady person said, and become a "nonsense"!He has really become a protruding bird in the officialdom!

Why didn't I see that you, Jiang Gaoyi, were so insidious!
Old Wei's eyes finally fell on the three princes.

The three princes were all silent.

"Hahahaha——" In the quiet hall, Old Wei suddenly raised his head and laughed happily: "I really have you! Marquis Zhonglie! What a Marquis Zhonglie!"

The three princes sat up straight at the same time, looking at the emperor.

It was the first time that Lao Wei laughed so freely in the hall, no one knew whether it was a good omen or a bad omen, everyone's scalps were numb, and there was an illusion that their heads were hanging from their belts and were about to fall off at any time.

"Sure!" The emperor laughed, and waved his robe: "Retire!"

……

in the city.

"Wow! Look! There is a big hole in the cloud over the palace!"

"God bless you, God bless you!"

The common people noticed something strange.

Just now, the dark snow cumulus cloud broke away inexplicably, and there was a hole in the center of the cloud.

The bright sun shone down, reflecting the Daqian Imperial Palace shining brightly.

The snow on the steps has completely melted away, and a trickle of water trickles down the steps.

When Jiang Gaoyi walked out of the palace, he felt weak and numb all over, as if he had walked through the gate of hell.

Came out alive!

On the way, several friends from official circles warmly congratulated Jiang Gaoyi: "Congratulations, Mr. Jiang!"

"congratulations!"

"Master Jiang really lives up to his name, with high righteousness and righteousness!"

If it was Jiang Gaoyi in the past, he would definitely feel baffled by these words of congratulations.

But now that he heard it in his ears, he understood the deep meanings of gnashing of teeth, regret, ridicule, hatred, etc. inside.

He looked at the smiling faces of his colleagues in the officialdom, and vaguely saw all kinds of strange characters written on their faces.

The same sentence is spoken by different people, with different expressions, and with different intonations. Jiang Gaoyi seems to be able to "see" various contexts and deep meanings.

In the past, he didn't understand "officials", he only knew that the water was too deep and the fire was too hot.

Until he asked to play for Zheng Xiu, it seemed that something poked his brain and made him realize suddenly.

It turns out that this is the officialdom!
In an instant, Jiang Gaoyi felt a sense of weightlessness, as if he had fallen into a lake.In a daze, Jiang Gaoyi vaguely seemed to see the crooked word "official" thrown at his face.

"Master Jiang, congratulations!"

He was awakened by a congratulation, and one of them bowed to him. It was clearly the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ke Tianliang, who passed by Jiang Gaoyi with a smile: "I hope, Mr. Jiang will not regret what happened today."

Jiang Gaoyi ignored Ke Tiliang, hurriedly raised his legs and walked out of the palace.

Several Zheng's coachmen had already parked on the avenue, and one of them walked towards Mr. Jiang with a smile: "My lord, do you want to use a car?"

Jiang Gaoyi, who had just woken up from the dream, was taken aback for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Use the car! Use it!"

Not long after, Jiang Gaoyi, still in his official uniform, came to the prison and reunited with his former inmates.

As soon as he saw Zheng Xiu, who had two big dark circles under his eyes and looked tired, but was still painting on rice paper, Jiang Gaoyi turned his head and wanted to worship: "Thank you, Lord Hou!"

Jiang Gaoyi didn't have time to salute, his eyes blurred, and Zheng Xiu's elbows were already supported.

Zheng Xiu was surprised: "Master Jiang, why did you do such a great gift? How can I, Mr. Zheng, afford it?"

Jiang Gaoyi wanted to kneel hard.

But he was obviously not tough enough for Mr. Zheng, Jiang Gaoyi had no choice but to give up because he didn't kneel down for this great gift.

He then told Zheng Xiu what happened early in the morning.
