Chapter 123
"I think it's wrong."

When the room was silent, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs came out. He didn't want to get involved in matters related to the criminal law, but he had to speak out.

"What Ji Langzhong said is reasonable, but at this time of internal and external troubles, only severe punishment can deter Xiaoxiao."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jiming with a sneer.

"Why are you eager to abolish the law of implicated companies? Could it be that you have the idea of ​​treason in your heart, and want to find a way out for your family in advance?"

"Why did Shangshu Sima keep making things difficult for the lower officials?"

Ji Ming looked at Sima Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, with sharp eyes.

"A few years ago, the king of Beijiang case was eager to close the case, risking the death of thousands of innocent people on the guillotine. Can you be regarded as a humerus minister of the court?"

"presumptuous!"

The Ministry of Punishment still scolded expressionlessly.

"Ji Langzhong is threatening to contradict the superior today? He slandered the old man with unreasonable things, and asked the empress to make the decision for me!"

Which one who can stand on top of this court with a high-sounding sound is not an old fried dough stick?Corruption can turn you into borrowing money from the treasury, and a minister is even more powerful. As long as there are no serious mistakes, it is difficult to fall. As a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Ji Ming is really looking for death when he contradicts his immediate boss.

"Is the Queen Mother going to fight with the first two?"

Zhao stood up by mistake and pulled the wrong frame.

"The matter of abolishing Zhulian mentioned by Ji Langzhong, I think that it should not be done hastily, and maybe Dali Temple can study it to determine whether it is feasible."

He changed the subject and said to the empress dowager above him, he knew with his toes that it was impossible for the female devil to agree to Ji Ming's proposal, at least not now.

"Ji Langzhong has made great achievements in handling the case this time. He was promoted to the prime minister of Dali Temple, and cooperated with the officials in the temple to discuss the amendment of the law according to the national conditions."

The queen mother said lightly.

"Thank you madam."

Ji Ming cupped his hands and bowed with joy on his face.

"Young lady is wise!"

The uniform compliments sounded, these ministers can't do anything else, they are best at flattering.Zhao Cuo was not surprised by the bad woman's decision. What she said was to ask Jiming to amend the criminal law without mentioning the abolition of implicated companies.

This Lord Ji didn't think about achieving it overnight, but planned to make a breakthrough after the credit this time. This is an unprecedented big progress.

In fact, Mr. Zhao Xiaogong thinks that it doesn’t matter whether the law is revised or not. These things written on paper cannot restrain the monarch. What the devil said now is the real law.

'This Beijing official corruption case has come to an end here, right? '

Zhao Cuo, who had been working intensively for half a month, let out a long sigh of relief. He just wanted to hurry home and prepare for the New Year. He urgently needed the warm embrace of his elder sister to soothe his tired soul.

"The minister has something to tell the empress."

The Minister of Rites bowed his head and walked forward and said respectfully.

"The crown prince of King Qi entered Beijing yesterday, and the other six kings also sent their princes to congratulate him. The Ministry of Rites has properly arranged it."

"Prince Qi is coming to Beijing?"

Some courtiers who only knew the news were in an uproar immediately. Not only did they look at each other in blank dismay, Zhao Cuo was also a little surprised.Among the seven vassal kings of Dayu Kingdom, the second most powerful is King Qi, who enshrined the kingdom near the rich and prosperous south of the Yangtze River.

It is not a trivial matter for the prince of Qi to come to Beijing. You must know that the relationship between the court and the princes is very tense. Even if it is the New Year's court meeting, they will only send ordinary princes. But the prince of a country!
The heir to the title of an ordinary prince will be crowned heir by the court, while the eldest son of the seven vassal kings will be registered as the crown prince, who will inherit the vassal state and become the real prince in the future.

'If something happened to the king and prince of Qi in the capital, would the king of Qi still rebel? '

Zhao Cuo smelled a smell of rain coming.

"Good life to take care of the Prince of Qi."

According to the calm voice of the queen mother, it was obvious that she had known this for a long time.Then several officials mentioned something about the Dachaohui, and the morning court finally ended after no one played any more.Mr. Zhao Xiaogong thought that he would be detained by the bad woman again, but in the end he followed the officials and exited Chaotian Palace smoothly.

"It's too early to go to Yan'er."

After Zhao got out of the imperial city by mistake, he drove to the suburbs in a carriage. During the half month since he returned to Beijing, he didn't see his ordinary friends, because he was busy with errands and he didn't take the initiative to contact them.Mrs. Yan, who is particularly greedy for his national luck, hasn't seen anyone for more than ten days in a row, which is already abnormal.

'Could it be that Chu Guoshi told Yan'er that I protected the Empress Dowager when I was hunting in the frozen river? '

He muttered inwardly.

However, this trip came to nothing.

The maid at Mrs. Yan's house told him that her master had returned to Daozong.

"That's it."

After Zhao Cuo hesitated for a while, he turned his horse's head and left.He felt that Yan'er was hiding from him, otherwise how could he not come to him for double cultivation for half a month.

"If Madam decides to sever ties with me because I tried my best to protect the Empress Dowager during the Donghe Incident, then there is nothing to say, and there is no harm in breaking up."

He didn't feel that he had any deep friendship with Mrs. Yan, their relationship was just a treaty, at first it was the late emperor's widow who coveted the fate of the country and tricked him, but he took it down with an army, before They often practice together in harmony because they want to avenge the Queen Mother together.

All of this is driven by interests, and Zhao Cuo no longer wants to deal with the female devil. His current goal is to ruin Dayu's national fortune and the Xia Yaonv who may attack again at any time.All in all, it is normal for him and Mrs. Yan not to have a common pursuit.

Zhao Xiaogong drove back to Zheng Guogong's mansion by himself.

"Where's my sister?"

"Missy asked a friend out."

"Why do you go out and run around when you are in good health?"

Zhao Cuo, who was unable to meet his elder sister, was so idle that he didn't know what to do. Fortunately, it was almost lunch time, and Miss Zhao came back after he drank two cups of tea, and brought him to the street. The new clothes he bought are worthy of his precious sister.

"The day after tomorrow will be New Year's Eve. By mistake, you have finished your errands, right? You should be with your sister for the New Year's Eve."

Zhao Shangxin said seriously at the dining table.

"I don't even have a confidante, so of course I can only stay with my sister."

Young Master Zhao sighed and said in a regretful tone, he came to this world and became a great nobleman, but let alone a group of wives and concubines, he didn't even have a good female friend, and he was still a "pure Yang Taoist child".

"Don't you still have Miss Lan and Mrs. Yan?"

Miss Zhao said quietly.

"I'm really unfamiliar. The only woman I've grown close to is my sister. I haven't touched any of the coquettish things outside."

Zhao Cuo quickly waved his hand to show that he is not that kind of person. He only thought about the female devil when he was tired of working, and he might be sent to the cleansing room one day.

"rhetoric!"

Zhao Shangxin spat with a little blushing, and blocked his mouth with a chicken leg, and there was a smile in those charming peach eyes.
