"You said it." Lu Zhishan said with a gloomy face.
"The Ministry of Punishment received a report from the Yin Yamen of the Capital Prefecture last night. Because the matter was of great importance, the minister personally tried the case and immediately sent people to trace the identity of the deceased." The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said in a deep voice, "Long live the Lord, the deceased He is not from Dali, but from Beidi, so Wei Chen thinks that this case should not be handled as an ordinary murder case."
For a moment, all the courtiers looked at each other, and Ding Shaodian and others were speechless. After a pause, Ding Shaodian took a deep breath, looked at the Minister of Punishment and said coldly: "According to Dali's law, anything that happens in Dali is The murder case is being investigated by law in Dali, why? Do you think you, the Minister of Punishment, don’t even understand this? Or are you just trying to get away with it just because the identity of the perpetrator is unusual? Long live the holy name of God?”
"Lord Ding, please calm down. I have something to report," the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment said slowly to Ding Shaodian, and at the same time he said respectfully to Lu Zhishan, "Long live Lord Mingjian, according to personal investigation by my subordinates, the deceased in Beidi belongs to The Beidi slave was a slave who was sold into the palace early in the morning with a death contract. Now the slave's deed of sale is in the hands of the right lady of Beidi Jiaqiyuan. It is up to the minister to decide whether to hold Commander Mu accountable. As for Mrs. You’s wishes, Wei Chen asked Lord Long Live to order the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to go to Beidi in person to ask Mrs. You’s wishes face to face.”
As soon as the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, all the ministers in the court began to whisper to each other.
"It turns out that Commander Mu just killed a slave of his own, and the slave was sold with a death contract. Isn't it up to Commander Mu to decide whether he will live or die?"
"Yes, Commander Mu is Madam Right's beloved son. How can there be any reason to hold his son accountable for being a lowly slave?"
"This Ding Shaodian is also confused. He dares to behave in front of the emperor and targets the harem at every turn without finding out the truth. I'm afraid Long Live the Lord will be very angry!"
"Who says it's not the case? Lord Long Live just combined the conferment ceremony and the enthronement ceremony together, and Ding Shaodian has been insisting on it. Lord Long Live values the Queen the most, so naturally he is very angry."
…
During the chatter, Ding Shaodian's face became paler. He clutched the jade tablet in his hand tightly, and the veins in his hand bulged. His forehead was covered with thin beads of cold sweat, and he was even more panicked.
He knew that Lu Zhishan must be extremely disgusted with him, but where did he go wrong
When the late emperor was in court, how many calculations did he take in the harem? From Concubine Li to Concubine Wan Gui, from the Royal Forest Army to the Southwest Army, the influence of the harem is all-pervasive. What is the root cause of Dali's poverty and weakness over the years
Don’t they all originate from the harem? !
He thought that Lu Zhishan was the most discerning and could see through all this. However, as soon as he came to the throne, Lu Zhishan disappointed him greatly. Compared with the late emperor, Lu Zhishan's emphasis on and tolerance of the harem was even more disappointing. He was frightened, he couldn't help but worry, he couldn't just watch the Dali Dynasty be destroyed at the hands of his relatives, not to mention that the queen was from a foreign race, so he was even more worried, and the queen's brother-in-law, Beidi's daughter-in-law, But the prince still stayed in the capital and held the power of the patrol camp, which really made him intolerable.
But why can't Long Live Lord understand his own loyalty
Why
…
Lu Zhishan looked down at Ding Shaodian, who was trembling and kneeling on the floor tiles, and said with a cold face: "What does Ding Shangshu think?"
