Chapter 215 The Queen's Teachings 1
At that moment, Si Jin's expression was really wonderful.

I didn't expect it to be related to this incident. Is Ling Guogong's brain flooded?How dare to do such a thing, strangle and kidnap court officials, this is not a small crime.

Before Si Jin calmed down the anger in his heart, he heard that Duke Ling was framed. This matter was actually done by Duke Cao and Qu Zhousu.

Nani?

Things turned so fast that Si Jin couldn't understand it.

The first day the queen knelt down to see her, but Xiao Qi finally saw her. The Chongming Palace didn't know what Xiao Qi said. After the queen came out, he didn't go to the Chongming Palace the next day.

After Si Jin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, she also vaguely felt that this storm was much more violent than what she had imagined.

Even though Si Jin was in Heyi Hall, so close to Chongming Hall, she never took the initiative to inquire about the news about the court.Even Xiao Qi may not care about it now, but Si Jin is unwilling to leave a hidden danger for her safety.

In fact, she had deep doubts in her heart about whether she and Xiao Qi could really grow old together.

After all, he is an emperor.

With Xiaolongwei arresting more and more officials, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment has also been angry recently, his eyes are red and bloodshot.All of these people arrested are not simple people behind them, and none of these people are so easy to interrogate. It is easy for the uncles to be arrested one by one, but interrogation is not a simple matter.

Without torture, the mouth is like a clam shell.

Using torture, hehe, this matter is really difficult to handle.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, who was caught in the middle, had no way to live through this day, and he couldn't think of a suitable way to burn the candle.In the end, he was so heartbroken that he simply asked His Majesty the Emperor, how are these people going to be interrogated?
After reading this scripture, Xiao Qi became furious without any surprise. He couldn't even interrogate criminals. What use do I want you for?
The former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments was Cao Guogong, and later Cao Guogong was transferred to another place by Xiao Qi, and now the newly appointed Guan Zheng is a counselor.I can see that he is full of anger, but if the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is replaced, who is the most appropriate to sit on it?
Holding that paperwork, Xiao Qi thought about it in the Chongming Palace, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Guan Zheng couldn't just be dismissed like this.He still needs to stand in front of the head. Since he dare not interrogate, then it is better to change someone.Thinking of this, Xiao Qi thought of Liang Chengji. Although Enke was not ranked among the top three, he was indeed a talented person, especially his temperament was very firm. If he was allowed to take charge of this matter, maybe he would It was a pleasant surprise.

After Guanzheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, got the instructions on the second day, Liang Chengji took over the post of servant and was in charge of the interrogation.

It just means that there is nothing else to do with him, Guan Zheng is sitting in his study, feeling overwhelmed.Although he didn't want to offend the criminals, who knew which tree was leaning against them.But the emperor's merciless arrangement still made him feel very embarrassed.

Taking a deep breath, Guan Zheng also knew that nothing was perfect, since he didn't want to offend these people, then naturally he was satisfied in the emperor's heart.This Liang Chengji usually doesn't look outstanding, but he didn't expect the emperor to still remember him. This is really a big threat to him.But now I can't take care of it anymore. Anyway, after this interrogation, even if Liang Chengji has done meritorious service in front of the emperor, but offending so many people, his future official career will not be good.

Thinking of this, I felt more comfortable in my heart, and happily let Liang Chengji take over the interrogation.Since the emperor did this, he might as well just be a minister who doesn't care about anything else, and let Liang Chengji to toss about it, so that he can also explain to those people, and push it out, it's extraordinarily easy.

In just half a month, Liang Chengji's name became the second deadly Yan Luo in Kyoto after "Death Su".All the officials who were interrogated by him did not confess truthfully and did not cooperate with the interrogators. They all went to the torture room and walked out, and there was no mouth that could not be knocked open.

During the interrogation period, the officials involved in the case in custody are not allowed to visit and have no contact with the outside world.All the officials who were confessed were immediately arrested and brought to justice. For a while, everyone in the capital was in danger.I'm afraid that Yan Luo, who demanded his life, would call on the door in the middle of the night to arrest people.

The ministers of the cabinet, the six ministers, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Administration, the Hanlin Academy, the Six Divisions, the Qin Tianjian, the Wucheng Bingma Division, the Senglu Division, the Daolu Division, the Jiaofang Division, etc., are all in dire straits. Potential.As more and more officials are bitten, the prisons of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are already overcrowded.

However, Liang Chengji's footsteps did not stop.

The bright moon was in the sky, and in the small rented yard, each person had a pot, a table and a chair, holding an open letter in his hand, the contents of which had already been familiarized by heart.In a short while, blowing on the fire book turned the letter into ashes.

This letter was sent overnight by Qin Yuchuan, in which he listed the minions of several major powers in the capital, most of whom were detained in his prison.Along with the letter are the whereabouts of these people in the past, and even a guide to the location of the criminal evidence of several important people.

Qin Yuchuan mentioned in the letter that this was accidentally learned by the captured southern officials, hoping to give him some assistance.However, he and Qin Yuchuan were neither acquainted nor close friends, so what did he mean when such a letter was sent directly to him with evidence of incrimination?
Moreover, it is still unknown whether what is said in this letter is true or not. What if it is a trap?
Liang Chengji stretched out his hand to touch his brow. He hasn't had a good night's sleep these days.It is already very difficult for these officials from humble backgrounds to enter the officialdom seriously. Unfortunately, today's insistence on the imperial examination system allows them to stand out.However, even if he won the Jinshi and got an official position, he would be suppressed everywhere, and he would be useless.

Now, with him today, he can't miss this opportunity.Among their group of candidates, in terms of the limelight, the No. [-] scholar Lang Qin Yuchuan, and the No. [-] and Tanhua were also asked by Mr. Su to take charge of the affairs of Juehu County.And he had rejected Mr. Su's invitation at the beginning, and he was suffering here, hoping to have a day of soaring to the sky.

Now this opportunity came, and he couldn't miss it.

But, what exactly does Qin Yuchuan mean?
To be trusted by the emperor so much, to stay in the south to deal with the pirates' follow-up actions, it can be seen that he is highly valued by the emperor.Then, the things mentioned in this letter should be more than [-]% sincere.Just why did he help him?

If Qin Yuchuan didn't help him, he would be able to dig out these things himself in a few more days, but if he helped him, he owed him a favor.

Liang Chengji felt a little uncomfortable.

Liang Chengji's actions aroused dissatisfaction with Cao Guogong, Wei Gelao Xie Gelao and others, and they jointly impeached him on charges of cruelty, abuse of torture, and forced confession.This is the first time since Enke passed that the aristocratic family and the poor family faced head-to-head in the court.

But this time, Xiao Qi stood firmly on the side of the vast number of poor officials who were born in the imperial examination, and rejected the impeachment on the grounds of conclusive evidence.

After persuading the emperor to impeach Liang Chengji to no avail, all court officials, old friends, and even student subordinates came to visit the three elders of the cabinet one after another.Cao Guogong, Ling Guogong, and even the Su family of the Wang family of the Li family also had an endless stream of visitors. Regarding Liang Chengji's harsh interrogation methods, people were panic-stricken and they all came to ask for countermeasures.

With the pretext of disturbing the sea bandits, Xiao Qi planned step by step, and now he is finally able to draw a line, and he is no longer the minister who was like a puppet at the mercy of the ministers of the court.Now that the monarchs and ministers are in different positions, Xiao Qi has truly become the one who controls the sovereignty.

At the same time, on the grounds of the expansion of Xiaolongwei, the soldiers are brave, and they only need to pass the assessment, and there are no restrictions on their origin. There are tens of thousands of people who come to participate in the assessment, and there are also crowds of people coming from other counties. .At this time, Su Shengyang came back to Beijing with great glory. This time, he used the name of the left vanguard to fight against the bandits. Behind Hongshen, there is no way to hide his majesty.

General Mu Hongshen led the army and won a complete victory. Su Shengyang was the number one among those who contributed to the suppression of the bandits.

When Si Jin got the news that her brother had been awarded the title of lieutenant of Zhen Guo, she was really surprised.The official position of Lieutenant Zhen Guo is actually not very high, it is just a rank four.However, the difference is that this official position has already begun to follow the route of foreign relatives, and there are small food towns, not more than a hundred households.This means that when Su Shengyang's credit has accumulated to a certain level, there is a possibility of being knighted.

Si Jin was actually a little uneasy, was it too fast?When Xiao Qi came back for lunch at noon, she tactfully expressed her intentions that she didn't need to promote her brother so quickly, in fact, it would be better to take it slowly.

Seeing Si Jin's uneasy look, Xiao Qi thought it was a little funny, pulled her to sit down, and explained to her carefully, "This is not beyond the limit, and according to your brother's military achievements, he deserves it." , you don’t need to be nervous. If she is not too conspicuous as your brother, she can actually be named General Fengguo.”

From the second product?
Si Jin blinked, as if the second rank was more conspicuous than the fourth rank.And according to Xiao Qi's intentions, her brother still couldn't be appointed as a high-ranking official because of her influence.In the blink of an eye, Si Jin understood, after all, she had a son, but it was quite conspicuous.

Then, she didn't worry anymore, she was originally from the second rank, but now she only got one from the fourth rank, everyone would just say look at the emperor, after all, they are worried about Concubine Xi's natal family, Su Shengyang just got a fourth rank.

"That's good." Si Jin let out a long sigh of relief, with a big smile on her face.

Xiao Qi looked carefully at Sijin's expression, and found that she was really relieved, not disappointed.I also have some feelings in my heart that I can't understand which one the women in the harem buy. Is it because I hope that I can enshrine their family, have high officials and rich salary, and honor their ancestors.But when it comes to Si Jin, it seems that promotion and title are extremely reluctant things.Just a lieutenant of Zhen Guo was appointed, and she could be nervous to take advantage of this state, and there was really no one else.
