I'm so hard

Chapter 40 I'm Going to the Barracks

Under Zhao Yan's monstrous anger, the officials of the Criminal Ministry stayed up all night and could not sleep at night.

Some people even traveled thousands of miles at night, arrived in Caizhou, gathered everyone's strength, and finally completely investigated the case at noon on the third day.

Liu Zhi's fiancée, Caiying, was also found in a private house in Changdan City.

If it was a day later, she might have been sold into the tile.

Moreover, the Ministry of Criminal Justice dug up a huge black industrial chain during this investigation.

On the surface, Zhou Fu, a Caizhou medicinal material merchant, was engaged in medicinal material trading, but secretly he was engaged in the business of buying and selling young women and selling them to Korea.

According to investigations, he has been in this business for nearly ten years, and has trafficked nearly [-] women.

Such dirty deeds can be said to be outraged by heaven and man.

But this year, due to the high demand in Koryo, he took the risk and came up with the excuse of the emperor accepting his concubine, defrauding a large number of beautiful girls.

What made Zhao Yan furious was that Caizhou Zhizhou Qian Qihai, once Xiao Zhengye's favorite student, turned out to be Zhou Fu's backer.

"I'm full of sage books, I've read them in my dog's stomach!" Zhao Yan dropped the teacup in front of him after reading the memorial presented by the Ministry of Punishment.

Dazhou, which has always established the world with ethics, had such scandals, and all civil and military officials were naturally ashamed.

Zhao Yan issued an edict directly, and Qian Qihai, the magistrate of Caizhou, and Zhou Fu, a medicinal material merchant, were all sentenced to be executed immediately.

This is the second scholar-bureaucrat official killed by Da Zhou, both of whom were killed by Zhao Yan.

But this time, no official dared to intercede.

Xiao Jingye, who has always cherished his face, did not expect such a scum to appear among his disciples. He handed in an apology overnight, wanted to resign to thank the world, and asked Zhao Yan to be punished severely.

Zhao Yan naturally knew that it was not his fault, so he asked all the ministers to stop him from resigning, and then fined his salary for half a year, and asked him to reflect on himself at home for seven days, which was counted as punishment.

Empress Dowager Zhang was also greatly affected by this incident.

"Your Majesty, Aijia really...I really don't know that someone would take advantage of His Majesty's concubine concubine to do such a heartless thing. It is Aijia's lack of consideration, and I hope His Majesty will punish him!" Empress Dowager Zhang just stepped into the door of the Chuigong Palace , burst into tears, and then knelt down on the ground.

If it weren't for her to let officials all over the world choose a concubine for Zhao Yan, those people would not have this opportunity.

Although a good intention turned into a bad thing, it still happened because of her after all.

Zhao Yan quickly helped Queen Mother Zhang up.

"Mother, you are not to blame for this matter. You don't have to feel guilty. If it wasn't for the draft, I wouldn't be able to find out that I, Da Zhou, still have such a cancer."

Zhao Yan heaved a long sigh and continued: "Mother, you also know that at the end of March, there will be a big battle between Dazhou and Beimeng. I really don't have the heart to think about marriage. Why don't we let this marriage go and let it go after the war." Say it again."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while, and replied: "Then follow your Majesty's wishes, but in private, the Ai family will try their best to pay attention. If you miss your Majesty's marriage, then I will be a sinner of Da Zhou!"

Zhao Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

On February [-]th, inside the Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Yan sat on the dragon chair with an excited expression on his face.

And below, Minister of Literature Xiao Jingye, Minister of Finance Kong Moshan, Marshal Yang Xinghuai, Director of the two museums Pan Wenyue, Doctor Yushi, Shangguan, Yang Hong, commander of Shence Army, and Shen Tuyi, the commander of the Forbidden Army, all had constipated expressions on their faces. .

All this was because of Zhao Yan's words.

"I plan to be stationed in the barracks outside the city from tomorrow, eat, live and train with the soldiers, and prepare for the battle with Northern Mongolia!"

These few people couldn't figure out why a great Zhou emperor wanted to suffer and suffer.

Besides, it's not proper for an emperor to practice in a military camp. There has never been such a precedent throughout the ages!
Xiao Jingye took the lead to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the place in the barracks is not the place for you to stay, your body is precious, you must not get injured or ill!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you only need to strategize this time, and leave the fighting to these rough men!" Yang Hong, the head coach of the Shence Army, also said.

The doctor Shangguan was displeased and said: "Your Majesty, if you enter the barracks, what should you do with the government affairs? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Just when the others were about to speak, Zhao Yan waved his hand and stopped them.

"I have made up my mind. This battle will affect my fate after the Great Zhou Dynasty. I must do it myself and set an example. As for the political affairs of the court, the Secretary of State will do it."

"Your Majesty...this..."

As soon as Shen Tuyi opened his mouth, Zhao Yan stopped him with his hand.

"If you want to persuade me again, I will..." Zhao Yan touched his collar and looked at the ministers.

"I have no objection!" Xiao Jingye stood up first and said.

The voice is crisp and decisive.

The few people behind also looked helpless, and shouted in unison: "I have no objection!"

Zhao Yan touched his collar, which meant that he was going to quit again.

This is the best way for Zhao Yan to threaten his ministers, one spirit at a time.

Xiao Jingye had a helpless expression on his face. Few scholars could do this kind of brazen threat.But Zhao Yan is very proficient in using it, and can achieve his goal every time.

Zhao Yan smiled triumphantly, looked at Yang Hong, and said, "Yang Hong, you are the commander of the Shence Army. This time, I will be assigned to a battalion with more combat effectiveness. Remember, don't let the battalion commander and the soldiers in the battalion Know my identity."

Hearing these words, Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai and Kong Moshan's old legs gave way, and they almost didn't sit on the ground.

The three of them were about to cry.

This little ancestor didn't just want to live in the barracks, but to be a real soldier.

How can such nonsense!

The laws in the army are strict, and fights happen from time to time. If some blind soldier beats up the emperor, that's fine.

"Your Majesty, you...you're not taking the old minister's life like this!" Yang Xinghuai lamented, entering the barracks, if any accident happened, the biggest responsibility would naturally be his Yang family's.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion, just to experience the life of the military camp. With Hei Wa to accompany me, there will be no worries, and if I can't bear it, I will naturally go back to the palace!"

The ministers sighed, hoping that he was just playing around and would return to the palace in two or three days.

At this time, Pan Wenyue suddenly said, "Your Majesty, in six days it will be your coming-of-age ceremony. According to the ancestral system, you must worship your ancestors in the palace. I'm afraid you won't be able to go to the barracks."

Yang Xinghuai and the others were overjoyed, and murmured in their hearts: It's better to be educated, an ancestral system can make His Majesty go back obediently.

Zhao Yan looked at the expectant eyes of the ministers, smiled slightly, and said, "On that day, I will just ask for leave and go back to the palace."

Hearing this, the officials wanted to cry, but they knew that it was impossible to stop Zhao Yan from going to the barracks.
