Sometimes the palace is sunny

"Your Majesty, there are a total of 460 files related to women in Dali Temple this year, and all of them have been inspected and cleared."

Went to pay homage to Yao Shi and came back, before Shen Shiqing had time to change her clothes, she saw Gao Wanxin lined up in the Qianqing Palace with a group of female officials and maids. Borrowed from the temple.

Shen Shiqing's eyes flicked over the red horse-faced skirts of several female officials with bird-patterned knee skirts, and the corners of her lips twitched slightly.

In just a few days, the weaving workshop has already finished the new dresses for the female officials in Duanji Palace, and it is really pleasing to watch.

"What was the result of the inspection?"

Gao Wanxin held a booklet in her hand, and carefully handed it to Shen Shiqing.

She opened the booklet for a few glances, then raised her head to look at Gao Wanxin, as well as the female officials and maids behind Gao Wanxin.

"Have you seen all the above?"

Gao Wanxin replied: "Your Majesty, I and others have all read it."

"Okay, let's go to the Hall of Martial Arts, we have to let all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty come and see."

Seeing that it was a rooster who came to call, the hearts of the people immediately raised their throats, and when they walked into the Hall of Martial Arts, their steps were even lighter than usual.

Zhuo Shengquan spoke cautiously and carefully, for fear of any omissions.

The slender young man did not sit on the throne, but stood in front of the stage with his hands behind his back, beside everyone.

"Snapped!"

Accompanying him was Qian Zhuo, the censor of Zuodu.

"My lord, there is a crime of ignorance." Xia Hui knelt down straight with the booklet in his hand.

Taking a look at the green robe on her body, Shen Shiqing smiled:

Knowing His Majesty's call, the cabinet ministers headed by Li Congyuan hurried over, and saw officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Metropolitan Procuratorate all gathered at the gate of the Hall of Martial Arts.

She looked down at the men who ruled the law for a dynasty.

"Isn't it a festival day?"

"The husband is a gambler. He threw all his family property into the gambling workshop, leaving the whole family without food and clothing! They all depended on the wife to weave cloth for their livelihood. The wife was stabbed sixteen times after a few words of abuse. You You still think that the murderer is justifiable?! According to what you said, wives in the world must be innocent saints, otherwise they don’t have to pay for their lives if they are killed by their husbands?”

Zuodu Censor Qian Zhuo was standing in front of the two, his hands and feet were already sweating and his legs were shaking.

"I wanted to find something for the female officials in front of the imperial court, let them inspect and classify the files of Dali Temple this year, and then write a book like "Female Fan", but I didn't expect to find something amazing. "

The position of Commander of Jin Yiwei has been vacant for several years, and Tong Xingjin, the deputy commander, is His Majesty's confidant, and even he was called to the Hall of Martial Arts?
After a brief commotion, the court officials gradually quieted down.

"The ones that can disturb your Dali Temple are mostly fatal cases. So far this year, how many cases have the murderer been a woman?"

Step by step, Shen Shiqing walked back to the throne.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not look at him, but called another person:

If... there is another chance, not to mention that His Majesty just wanted to investigate the Taipu Temple, even if His Majesty asked him to confiscate all the civil and military homes of the Manchu Dynasty, he would not hesitate at all.

Li Congyuan shook his head.

At this time, someone finally noticed that what His Majesty was wearing today turned out to be a blue round-neck straight-fitting robe with no floral decorations, and a plain leather belt around his waist. At first glance, it seemed that he was going to worship something.

The young emperor didn't hold a booklet in her hand this time, she walked slowly among the ministers with her hands behind her back.

"How much is the criminal sentenced to death?"

"As expected of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he is familiar with "Dayong Law", so let me ask you, if the wife ever scolded her husband because he was a gambler, would this be considered the wife's fault?"

Guo Yu was over fifty years old, and his shiny black beard was very conspicuous. When he raised his head, his beard swayed.

After hearing this, His Majesty nodded:

Because of their inefficiency, His Majesty actually let the female officer wear skirts and walk above the court hall. This incident that has not happened in thousands of years will be recorded in the history books, and I am afraid that his incompetence will also be passed down to future generations.

"Four hundred and nine." After chewing the number between her lips and teeth for a moment, Shen Shiqing's eyes became colder and colder.

It snowed in the morning, and it stopped half an hour ago, but there was still a layer of frost on the branches and eaves.

"Your Majesty even summoned Commander Tong."

"Returning to Your Majesty, it should be seen whether the wife has ever insulted the elders or committed adultery with others. If she insulted the elders, the husband will be punished with a hundred sticks. , if only one wife is killed, the rod shall be one hundred. If the wife is not at fault, the husband shall be hanged."

Compared with Zhuo Shengquan, Xia Hui was much more stable. He first recited the case silently in his heart, and then said:
"Your Majesty, there are two doubtful points in this case. First, the old woman is over [-] years old. According to the law, torture should not be performed. Since there is no evidence, if there is no torture, how did the old woman plead guilty? Second, I don't know if the old woman has Sons and daughters, if there is no son, her husband's nephew may be suspected of coveting the family property if he sues. Therefore, I think this case should be remanded for retrial."

In just a moment, the two servants of the Ministry of Punishment had already knelt on the ground one after another.

The courtiers were still confused, Qiqi looked at the female officials, trying to detect some clues, but unexpectedly, the female officials stood still and stood taller than them.

"He" first looked at Chang Shengning who was struggling to stand up after kneeling, then looked at Yang Shen who was still inconvenient, waved his hands and said:
"Today's discussion took quite a long time. Come here and show your seat to the three great scholars and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"The minister is here."

Shen Shiqing turned around and whispered:
"Senior lady."

"No need, that's all."

"There is an old woman, aged 72, whose husband died six years ago. Six years later, her husband's nephew said that she killed her husband, but there is no real evidence. A few days later, the old woman confessed and was sentenced to hang. You tell What do you think of this case?"

After entering the Hall of Martial Heroes, Zuodu Censor Qian Zhuo suddenly became dizzy, not because of his poor health, but because he saw the female officials again, standing in front of the imperial court in blue and red skirts.

"Senior lady."

Shen Shiqing, who was wearing a green robe, took a deep breath.

"Return to Your Majesty, there are 59 cases in total."

"Your Majesty, I will join you, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

"Guo Yu, Minister of Dali Temple."

Glancing at Xia Hui, Shen Shiqing sneered, walked over, and took the booklet in Xia Hui's hand with her own hands:
"However, your Ministry of Criminal Justice did not send back a retrial. On the contrary, you agreed to the judge's verdict, and said that you only sentenced to death by hanging, not Ling Chi. The life of a [-]-year-old woman. Since you can say so many doubtful points in front of me, why are you so useless when dealing with these cases?"

"Grand lady, tell these people, tell these courtiers from the Criminal Ministry, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate who say they want to seek justice for the people of the world every day, how many of the criminals who killed these women were sentenced to death ?”

"Return, return to His Majesty, the minister has never, never counted."

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are 63 murders involving women as murderers in the files of Dali Temple this year."

Shen Shiqing stopped looking at him, and picked up another booklet:
"Xia Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

The others were busy speculating on the holy will, but no one paid any attention to him, Qian Zhuo closed his eyes and sighed softly, shrinking his shoulders, but he had nothing to say.

"Never counted?"

Shen Shiqing glanced at Liu Kangyong, the Minister of Rites who was speaking, and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I had a dream last night, dreaming that there were thousands of reds competing for beauty under the high platform, and a roll of embroidered silk covering the sky. The scene, but all of a sudden, a big fire burned all the flowers, and countless wolves tore the silk cloth. I think this dream is ominous, and I wanted to talk to the first emperor, but I didn't expect to see the paperwork presented by the ladies .”

Chang Shengning, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, is old and has not spoken in the court for a long time. Everything has been handed over to the two servants. It is difficult for such an old official who always complains of illness for more than ten days every month to get a visit from the Ministry of Punishment. , was also invited over.

"Your Majesty, today is not a festival day. I don't know why His Majesty is wearing a green robe."

After finishing speaking, she raised her foot and was about to walk out of the hall, but Yiji and Sanmao hurriedly stopped her.

Several old ministers wanted to kneel down to thank them again, but Shen Shiqing raised her hand to avoid them.

The woman who had been standing quietly at the side hastily stepped out, saluted first and then answered:

When he raised his eyes occasionally, he caught a glimpse of Zhuang Changxin who was talking to someone, and he couldn't help remembering that he had advised him to follow Yao Qian's example and be the vanguard of His Majesty's investigation of the Taipu Temple, but he cherished fame and fortune, and was afraid that he would become a colleague They are the target of everyone's criticism. Now that I think about it, I really regret it.

"My lords, the emperor orders you to go in."

"The minister is here."

"Returning to Your Majesty, in total, 230 murderers were sentenced to death, and nine of them were women."

What cabinet?What kind of bachelor?

Chang Shengning lowered his head, and he lowered his head too. Chang Shengning lowered his head because his back was slightly hunched and his shoulders and neck were weak. He lowered his head because the procuratorate really couldn't lift his head these days.

Standing in the crowd now, Qian Zhuo felt ashamed.

His Majesty was so angry that Zhuo Shengquan knelt down in fright:
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention."

Qian Zhuo raised his head, and saw Tong Xingjin, the deputy commander of Jin Yiwei, strode in, ignored the others, and only greeted a few elders.

Zhuo Shengquan, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, was on duty in the Sixth Division today, and he was the fastest among the chief officials. When he saw Li Congyuan, he hurried up to greet him:
"Old Li Ge, His Majesty hastily summoned us, what is the purpose?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are a total of [-] cases where the murdered person was a woman."

"I ask you, how should a husband be punished for stabbing his wife sixteen times?"

"Wei Chen is here."

Zhuo Shengquan hurriedly came out: "The minister is here."

"Zhuo Shengquan, servant of the Ministry of Punishment."

The gate of the Wuying Hall was opened, and the cold wind swept in.

Shen Shiqing picked up a memorial from the imperial case and opened it.

"My lord, at least you changed your clothes!"

"How many cases have women been the victims in the files of Dali Temple this year?"

A notebook was thrown directly at Zhuo Shengquan's feet.

With such a battle, it is enough to interrogate several rebellious vassal kings!
Everyone waited for about a cup of tea, when they saw the eunuch Yiji, who was holding the handprint of the supervisor of ceremonies, walking quickly with the hem of his robe:

"it is good."

Zhuo Shengquan was stunned for a moment, and said:
"Your Majesty, husbands and wives have their own dignity... This scolding, if the scolding is really harsh, the husband will get angry and kill..."

Just as he was thinking, there was another noise outside the concierge.

"I don't need to ask the late emperor, I already know that the burned flowers and the torn silk are here."

With her hand, she placed it on the folds and case files piled up on the royal case.

Siri Zhao: I don't have any role today?Then am I still dog planing?

Digression: It was an eye-opener when I read some cases of the Ming Dynasty.

I know it's a bit uncomfortable to be stuck here, double update tomorrow, bow.
