Madam is right

Chapter 246 146. The Ministry of Punishments
Zhao Jue's words made Shao Deming's heart skip a beat.

This was something he hadn't expected.

Who would have thought that at the beginning, they dug a hole for the other party, but in the end, they not only filled the hole, but also built a house on top of the hole, so what did the person who dug the hole say?

It's just that Shao Deming didn't expect at this time that the man not only built a house on the pit, but also a mansion.

Emperor Chengyuan was very satisfied with Zhao Jue's proposal. At first, he thought about rewarding him with something, but after thinking about it, if the girl likes it or not, she will definitely say that he is a rich and powerful bad old man. Zhao Yin couldn't bear it.

Only then did Zhao Yin take advantage of the opportunity and asked Zhao Jue what proposal he had, but he did not expect that Zhao Jue's proposal would just fit Emperor Chengyuan's wishes.

Emperor Chengyuan waved his palm immediately, and drew up a decree. The daughter of the Mo family was brave and good at fighting, and she was called a hero among women and a heroine.

Although the name was given well, another "general" came out of the general's mansion, but all the officials knew that it was just that Emperor Chengyuan coaxed the children to play and got the name, and no one would call this "little general" in the future. "Really be a general.

But Shao Deming felt that something was wrong no matter what he thought.

Judging from all the signs, Shao Deming felt that Emperor Chengyuan seemed to be very fond of this daughter of the Mo family.

Now that Lao Shizi has been sealed as a "little general", if he is not guaranteed, he will become a general someday in the future. If this is the case, where will the prime minister's mansion have a foothold in the future?
Shao Deming immediately took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please think again. Since the founding of Dayu, there has never been a precedent for a woman to be named a 'general'. I'm afraid it's unreasonable..."

At this time, the prince said: "Da Yu has not existed since the founding of the country, and it does not mean that there will not be in the future. What's more, the heroism of General Mo is obvious to all. It seems that Little General Mo is not worthy of this title?"

If Shao Deming dared to say yes at this time, wouldn't that mean that Emperor Chengyuan's decision was wrong?How dare he say that?
But if he said no, he himself was not happy.

Zhao Yin naturally also heard that Zhao Jue had played a trick on Shao Deming, and Emperor Chengyuan immediately said: "Okay! This matter is settled like this! Is there anything else to be done?"

Obviously, Emperor Chengyuan had lost his patience with this matter. Even if Shao Deming was unhappy, he would not be stupid enough to continue this topic at this time.

Shao Deming had no choice but to stand aside obediently.

This morning, Shao Deming's camp had nothing to worry about, and the cabinet hadn't received any other rumors recently, so Shao Deming felt that this was probably the case this morning.

However, the Ministry of Justice, which has always been inactive, suddenly stood up today.

Not long after Zhao Yin finished speaking, Xing Zhao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward, "I have a book to play."

Generally speaking, Zhao Yin would receive some news from officials, except for Shao Deming's previous appearances that seemed like he lost his temper, but today's Ministry of Punishment's presentation is really rare, and Zhao Yin couldn't help but get serious.

"What's going on?"

"Report to the emperor, due to the sudden incident, the memorial has not yet been sent to the cabinet, and I hope the emperor will forgive me."

They were all polite words, Zhao Yin waved his hand and asked Xing Zhao to continue.

"Last night, the general escorted the Xishanzhai bandits to surrender to everyone, and handed them over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. After I led the people to interrogate them overnight, I found that the Xishanzhai bandits were not only vicious, but also engaged in human trafficking business these years. According to their confessions, Xishanzhai In the evil business, there are many officials from the DPRK and China who escorted them, which made Xishanzhai grow so strong. The plot is serious, and I think it is really shocking, so today I am bold and listen to Bingtian."

Zhao Yin listened to these words in his ears, but on his face, no one could tell what he was thinking.

After a long while, Zhao Yincai blushed and said: "It's unreasonable! I didn't expect that I, an official of the Dayu Dynasty, would be reduced to the same kind as bandits and bandits!"

When everyone heard the angry voice of Emperor Chengyuan, they quickly knelt on the ground: "The emperor calm down!"

"Calm your anger?! How dare you calm me down with such a thing?! If it wasn't for the daughter of the Mo family who wiped out the Xishan bandits this time! I don't think you would care about this at all!"

"Xing Zhao!"

"My minister is..."

"Then who are the Xishan Bandit's confessions?!"

"This..." Xing Zhao looked embarrassed.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Yin said, "Speak up! I see who dares to know the law and break the law!"

Xing Zhao struggled for a while, then knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, the treasurer of Xishanzhai and others have confessed...to Prime Minister Shao..."

Shao Deming said that today, for some reason, he has been a little restless!

As soon as Xing Zhao finished speaking, Shao Deming said with an angry look: "Master Xing! Shao can't afford such a crime! Shao has been an upright official all his life, and what Master Xing said must be a misunderstanding Ah! Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged! Your Majesty will investigate clearly!"

Xing Zhao's words really shocked the court officials, but everyone couldn't figure out what the man on the dragon chair was thinking.

Everyone knelt on the ground for a long time, and finally heard Emperor Chengyuan say: "This matter needs to be investigated in detail. Since Prime Minister Shao thinks there is a complaint, well, I will give you this chance. This case will be handed over to you and Xing Zhao. Check it out for me!"

"Sir, obey the order!"

The morning of this day finally passed under Mo Changjian's uneasy ease and Shao Deming's heavy heart.

……

On this day, the prime minister returned to the prime minister's mansion angrily.

The maids and servants in the mansion, seeing the prime minister's expression, dared not speak out loud.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Qi and Minister of Rites Zhou Quan came to visit later, and the servants in the mansion seemed to be saved.

King Qi and Zhou Quan naturally knew about the affairs of the early court today, the key is how to deal with it next.

King Qi has always been ruthless, and Shao Deming is not worried about Zhao Jin at all, but he is thoughtful.

Shao Deming was stunned and said, "Let me deal with everything that needs to be dealt with, otherwise, I will take care of you!"

Zhou's whole body trembled, and he could only respond: "Yes..."

"Ren Meng hasn't come back yet, the person in charge of Zuimenglou recently, you have to train me! If you dare to talk nonsense! Make him speechless again!"

"Yes, I understand..."

Looking at Zhou Quan's trembling appearance, Shao Deming suddenly felt that maybe he was too aggressive, which would not be conducive to future cooperation.

Only then did Shao Deming pull out a smile, but he didn't know that this smile shocked Zhou Quan even more than before.

He patted Zhouquan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous. Let's turn public affairs into private interests. Zhengping and Xuan'er have been friends since we were young. Naturally, I won't really take risks with you. Zhengping has been able to look after Xuan'er for me all these years." , I am also grateful in my heart."
