Chapter 745 is up to her.

Shen Liuzhen entered the palace in a hurry, and as soon as he told Emperor Wu Lei about this matter, Wu Lei immediately became angry:

"Today is only the first day! On the first day, he dared to twist my will, or murder him. What shameful thing did he do? It must be investigated by the Tingwei Mansion! Check it carefully!!"

With one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead, Ulay paced back and forth in the hall angrily.Shen Liuzhen was listening silently at the side, keeping his breath calm and his eyes downcast.

Suddenly, Ulay stopped, stretched out his hand and pointed to the direction outside the hall, and said through gritted teeth:
"No matter what he did, because I have to cut off the murder of concubine Ji, I have to cut it down now. I want everyone in the world to know what the end is if everyone is like him! The policy has turned into the source of the disaster! At that time, people in the world will criticize and blame all the faults on my reforms! How will things be done in the future?!... Don't think about it!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Shen Liuzhen in a calm tone, but still with hostility, he said:

"How did you find out? Why didn't you know about such a big incident? Besides him, is there anyone else in Pingcheng who did the same thing? Catch them all! Behead them together!"

Shen Liuzhen did not argue that today is the first day, even if he had prepared earlier, it would be impossible to figure out everyone's movements so quickly.

He just raised his sleeves, closed the wide sleeves to form two doors, bowed his head and replied humbly:
"Your Majesty, the ministers found out that the fifth rank and above in Beijing are actively cleaning up concubines. Some of them were directly given to their subordinates for marriage, and some were directly sold to official brothels. They are all changing the concubines raised in the mansion according to the custom-made laws. quantity.

Neither the undercover spies nor the scattered ones found anything similar to this kind of cruelty.Going down, because there are so many people, I haven't had time to find out..."

Captain, it happens to be the fifth rank.

After hearing this, Ulay became anxious again, walked around the hall non-stop, and said to himself:
"Yes, it is because of their large number that they are more important... Those people above are all old men. If I teach them in the court for three consecutive days and they don't understand, then they are not far from death!"

Shen Liuzhen rolled his eyes and said:
"Your Majesty, I feel that I should take this opportunity to arrest the captain of the Dugu family and send him to the Chinese army, and deal with it with military law in front of the generals."

"Why?" Ulay asked back.

Shen Liuzhen bowed and replied seriously:

"As for raising concubines, few Han people below the fifth rank have the financial resources and the courage to raise so many concubines, which is so extravagant. And those who are capable are mostly Xianbei and Zahu who serve in the army.

Therefore, if the person who murdered the concubine Ji and was convicted and beheaded was taken to the army and executed in front of them, it would have the effect of shaking the mountain. If it was taken to Caishikou... the effect would be a bit far away.

The people at Caishikou only need to know that this law is for their own good. Seeing beheading is just for fun. "

Upon hearing this, Ulay hurriedly said:

"I remembered what you said. You said two days ago that the arena outside your house has been changed into a preaching and a show. You should use it to convey my will and my kindness to the people. How are you doing?" ?”

Shen Liuzhen raised the corners of his lips and smiled, and said:
"Your Majesty thinks it's very good. This time, what are the benefits of His Majesty's reforms to the people? I have been talking about it for three days. The people responded fiercely and praised His Majesty's wisdom. After being cut off, the minister has to write the book and connect it when he goes back, then continue to talk about it, and continue to act..."

Wu Lei was happy after hearing this, and reached out to pat Shen Liuzhen on the shoulder and said:

"Liu Zhen, it's really thanks to you. You write well. After two days, I will have time. I want to listen to it myself..."

Shen Liuzhen showed a happy smile, with two sweet dimples, he responded, "Okay."

As soon as the words fell, Ulay seemed to remember something again. He turned around and said to the eunuch:

"Go, call me Helan Manzhen from the western camp, I want to ask you a question. Also call Ting Wei Zhou Changgeng, I want to ask him about the murder of concubine Ji! Go, immediately !"

With a series of urgings from him, the eunuch bowed in fright, turned around and ran quickly, and went to pass the decree outside the palace.

……

……

When He Lan Manzhen knelt in front of Emperor Wu Lei, Shen Liuzhen was still watching from the side.

Wu Lei looked at He Lan Manzhen with gloomy eyes, but the words were addressed to Tingwei Zhou Changgeng, and said:

"According to my will, the one who murdered the concubine Ji was the captain of the Western Camp?"

Tingwei Zhou Changgeng, who was kneeling on the other side, quickly cupped his hands and said firmly:
"Returning to Your Majesty, it is Dugu Wu, the captain of the Western Camp."

He Lan Manzhen lowered his head, glanced at Zhou Changgeng's complacent look from the corner of his eye, and wished he could be beaten to death.

But in front of His Majesty, he didn't dare to make a mistake, and he still didn't dare to move.

Hearing the voice of Emperor Ulei from above his head again, he asked unhurriedly:

"He Lan is quite true. I said in the court that this new law should be preached by high-ranking people step by step. Let me ask you, how did you tell your captain? "

He Lan said frankly:
"Your Majesty told me that I read all the articles of the law to them side by side. I also said that Your Majesty, you are very angry. I told them to take it to heart and deal with it as soon as possible within seven days."

The luxurious emperor hooked the corners of his lips, and asked gently:

"Then what do they say, do you object? Do you think my law is wrong?"

He Lan Manzhen quickly raised his eyes to look at the emperor, lowered his head even lower, and said:
"It's true that many people don't quite understand..."

"Then you can tell them clearly, what is the purpose of setting up such a law? Why do you want to make such a law?"

He Lan was so embarrassed that he didn't speak for a while, and finally he said:
"I'm stupid, I didn't make it clear..."

When Emperor Ulei heard this, the gentle tone just now disappeared, and he said angrily:

"Are you stupid and didn't make it clear, or are you too lazy to say it?! You have to follow your subordinates to make up a few sentences! It's not right! The four divisions of the Chinese Army, how can you be so bold and arrogant?!"

He Lan's pretty generous body trembled in fright, and quickly bowed his head and said:
"I don't dare to criticize Your Majesty, I'm really just stupid and didn't make it clear..."

Ulay stretched out his hand and said crisply:
"Well, if you are stupid and can't explain clearly, I will replace you with someone who can explain clearly. From today onwards, Xie Yuan will take over the position of commander of the western battalion temporarily, and let her speak and speak. That Dugu Wu Aren’t you going to behead him? You go fill his vacancy! When will the Western Camp wipe their butts clean, when will you be reinstated!”
