Zhong Yehan walked on the throne of the Jinluan Palace and looked at the civil and military officials of the court. His face was very gloomy: "Some time ago, I asked Ximen Dehao to investigate the embezzlement of disaster relief funds. What was found shocked me, and I was also shocked. I am very heartbroken. There were five or six officials involved that time, and they were all high-ranking officials. Even my son was involved. I am so sad! If a country keeps those moths, it will sooner or later be eaten by them. Empty. Therefore, those who failed to make up their mind that time must be condemned according to the law of His great blessing. Whoever I refuse will be sentenced to whatever sentence should be given. I will never rest."
The ministers lowered their heads one by one, listening to Sheng Zai's reprimand. At that juncture, everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent, so it would be better to say less. Who can tell clearly whether it will be a blessing or a disaster if it is involved. Can I angrily flatter the emperor and demand severe punishment for corruption offenders? Can those officials involved in the case be very popular figures, even princes? Can they turn over and never hear that he is in court again? In the performance, then he is looking for death or something. Please intercede for them. It’s not very reliable to see the emperor’s posture. The emperor is making a report on being honest and honest, but he is working for the corrupt. He, he is looking for trouble in disguise!
Zhong Yehan saw that everyone didn't shut up and was silent for a while: "In that case, we can all discuss who is more suitable to hear the case."
Everyone looked at each other and looked at me. They all lowered their heads, "Prince Shen!" Then who dares! They really want to keep their old bags for the rest of their lives!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhong Yehan knew what everyone was worried about: "Well, I know that we are afraid and afraid of getting angry. I can make a statement there tomorrow. All the people in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment are prisoners, and there is no son of mine. , judge how you should be judged, there is Dayou’s law there, what should we be afraid of!”
Everyone is still silent, and they are not fooled by the emperor's deception. Then they have seen too much. I will make a generous speech tomorrow. Who will remember tomorrow when settling old accounts tomorrow? They can't record my voice. Even if it is recorded, the emperor is seeking to make trouble for him, which is not like eating.
Zhong Yehan sighed a few times: "Since none of us are willing to share my worries, then I will have to trouble my son. Zhong Langyao, I am the prince. The future emperor is here. They are afraid of offending others. I don't need to be afraid. I Go, I’ll try that case.”
Zhong Langyao didn't expect that his father would entrust him with that task. He didn't know whether he was happy or worried at that time, so he would talk to his father first.
"Father, I will handle this matter impartially and never betray my father's trust!"
Zhong Yehan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! The prince has the courage to take responsibility, okay! Is Liu Duan from the Criminal Department really here?"
Liu Duanzhen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and said, "I, Liu Duanzhen, kowtow to see the Holy One."
Zhong Yehan pointed at the prince: "That case will be tried by the prince, and I will assist you. Remember, it must be handled impartially. If anyone dares to bend the law for personal gain, I will not be lenient!"
"I obey the decree!"
Zhong Yehan looked at the ministers and said, "We'll be there tomorrow and let the court go!"
After all the ministers saluted, they slowly exited the Golden Palace. The prince walked out of the hall with an uneasy mood, and his younger brother and best friend Zhong Langxi hurried over: "Congratulations to the prince, my father has entrusted me with the important task."
There was no joy in Zhong Langyao's face: "Isn't that a hard job?"
Zhong Langxi asked in a low voice: "Then what are my plans, Prince?"
Zhong Langyao looked at the ministers on the left and right and said loudly: "Of course it will be done impartially. My father just said that it must be done impartially. How dare he resist the order?"
That sentence was said to the ministers. Immediately, he whispered, "Go to his mansion, they will go back and discuss it in detail."
Of course Zhong Langxi understood. There were many people there, so there was no place to talk.
