Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 28 Dali Temple

Dali Temple Prison

Dali Temple Minister Qian Donglin only felt that there was a big trouble, and it was a big trouble.

The person who was sent to him by the imperial guards was Wang Su, the minister of the household department.He also brought along with him an oral order from His Majesty, saying that Wang Shilang was temporarily detained in Dali Temple for corruption and dereliction of duty.

This Wang Shilang is not a fuel-efficient lamp in the court. He is only [-] years old, and he can worship the right servant of the third-rank household department. This is Jane's capable minister in the emperor's heart.

You must know that Qian Donglin himself is only a third-rank Dali Temple Minister. To be honest, the two of them can be regarded as equal.

Qian Donglin was also very puzzled. Whether it was corruption or dereliction of duty, such a high-level court official should not be imprisoned in Dali Temple, at least it should be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment.

But the Holy Spirit came, and Qian Donglin couldn't say anything more, so he waved his hand and took him to the prison of Dali Temple according to the order.

Qian Donglin only thought that Wang Shilang once angered the Holy Majesty, and only planned to stay with good food and drink, waiting for the imperial court's order.

After all, a senior member of the third rank of the imperial court, how could he be able to be detained by Dali Temple if he said so?

In a flash, Qian Donglin saw that Eunuch An, who was beside the emperor, had arrived at Dali Temple, and hurried to greet him.

"Eunuch An, what is His Majesty's new intention for coming to Dali Temple?" Qian Donglin laughed.

It must be about Wang Shilang's will, Qian Donglin said in his heart.Don't involve them in Dali Temple any more about your favorite minister and His Majesty.Hurry up and take people out.

Qian Donglin still doesn't believe that the old emperor will really blame Wang Su, after all, he loves him so much, and Wang Shilang is indeed a capable person.Even if His Majesty doesn't like it, he won't blame him for the sake of the country.

Coupled with the fact that His Majesty has always had a reputation for benevolence, Qian Donglin thought it was Wang Shilang who offended His Majesty, but he didn't take it seriously.
"No, His Majesty ordered:..."

Dali Temple Minister Qian Donglin and a group of people from Dali Temple quickly knelt down to accept the emperor's order.

"Wang Su, the servant of the household department, flattered the holy will, and made an evil plan to break up Princess Anning and marry Princess Anning to Qingyi.

After dissuading me, I still don't change my words, and the Dali Temple will immediately implement the death penalty.

"

"This..." Qian Donglin trembled as if being struck by five thunders, and couldn't believe his ears for a while.The eyes of Shaoqing around him in Dali Temple were full of surprise and fear.

"Lord Qian... still hasn't accepted the order—" Eunuch An sternly said.

"Chen... I accept His Majesty's orders." Qian Donglin resisted the doubt in his mind and said.

"That's good. The old slave has to go to other yamen to pass orders, so I won't stay any longer." Eunuch An also looked a little tired, and he turned around and wanted to leave with a group of young eunuchs.

"Wait a moment..." Dali Temple Minister Qian Donglin stopped Eunuch An as soon as he got up.Seeing the angry look on Eunuch An's face, he quickly withdrew his blocking hand and said angrily:

"Grandpa, wait a moment. This matter is serious. Qian... is really difficult to deal with." Qian Donglin said at the end, cold sweat broke out on his head.

You must know that this Wang Shilang used to be His Majesty's favorite minister, if His Majesty regretted it later... How could their Dali Temple Minister turn into another person?
Moreover, this is a third-rank official of the imperial court. There is no clear order, no joint trial by the three divisions, and he will be killed if he says so?

This is not only out of procedure, but also against logic.

Even if Qian Donglin wanted to die, he didn't dare to touch Wang Su.And if he was really killed, and the court blamed him, how would Dali Temple defend?
Said it was an oral order from the Holy Spirit?But what if His Majesty refuses to recognize it?Without a decree, let him be a minister of Dali Temple to kill ministers of the same rank... If Qian Donglin hadn't known himself, he would only think that His Majesty and Wang Shilang came to play Dali Temple together.

But in the current situation, Qian Donglin would rather be tricked than die...

Eunuch An knew in his heart that this was a trouble, but in His Majesty's fury, how dare he ask for an order?

Eunuch An could only snort coldly, and said with a strong face: "Lord Qian, His Majesty's oral instructions are clear and clear, and His Excellency will deal with them according to the oral instructions."

Qian Donglin turned his head and asked: "Eunuch, since there is an oral order, can there be an order from His Majesty?"

Eunuch An immediately understood what Qian Donglin was planning, and said coldly: "There is no decree yet. What? Master Qian doesn't believe the old slave's decree? Then you can go to Chongguang Hall to verify with His Majesty..."

"Qian doesn't dare, Qian doesn't dare." Qian Donglin waved his hands again and again, and he frowned tightly, only feeling bitter in his mouth, "It's just, how could Dali Temple kill a third-rank official of the imperial court without a clear order... "

"The old slave has brought the decree, and the rest is up to the adults to decide. The old slave has something important to do, so let's go first." Mr. An knew that he should not get involved in this matter, and it is the best policy to leave as soon as possible.

In a short time, Qian Donglin could no longer see the shadow of Eunuch An and his party.

He could only look around, and beside him were his colleagues who were working today, two Shaoqings on the left and right of Dali Temple, and a Zuo Sicheng.

Qian Donglin asked everyone with a wry smile: "Everyone has heard the oral order conveyed by Eunuch An, how should I and my servants respond?"

The elder Zuo Shaoqing stroked his beard and shut up.

The mature You Shaoqing also had a wry smile on his face, and he said slowly: "My lord, if there is no clear order for this matter, Dali Temple may cause trouble..."

Zuo Sicheng also nodded quickly. He knew these regulations too well. If Dali Temple killed a high court official by oral instructions, there would be an uproar in the court tomorrow, and the group of hyenas at Yushitai would definitely bite Hold on.

Nor can they escape a crime of malfeasance.

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to remove Dali Temple?" Zuo Sicheng's idea made everyone nod frequently.

Indeed, otherwise, why bother to embarrass their usually deserted yamen, you must know that the father-in-law in this palace probably doesn't come to Dali Temple once a year to announce the decree.

"Stop talking nonsense..." Qian Donglin, the boss of Dali Temple who was present, interrupted everyone's depressed speech.

"I'll go to the cabinet and ask Elder Wang Ge for instructions; Zuo Shaoqing rushed to Taifu Ji's house to ask Taifu Ji's opinion. I can only make a decision if these two adults are in person..."

Qian Donglin's words made everyone nod their heads.

"Okay, I'll rush to Ji's mansion right now..." Zuo Shaoqing with a gray beard was about to go out immediately, Qian Donglin walked beside him with a bitter face.
