[Chapter 868]

,,!

After Qi Ning left the Autumn Trial Office of the Ministry of Punishment, Cao Sen and several officials left the crickets behind and looked out of the window, only to see Qi Ning disappear. After glancing at the officials behind him and coughing twice, the officials came to their senses.

“Sir, if we are so scornful, will Jin Yihou feel unhappy in his heart?” An official next to him approached and whispered: “The emperor has already issued his decree, and Jin Yihou has been appointed as the Minister of Punishment. That is our Shangguan. this!”

Cao Sen glanced at the man and said with a sneer: “I’m not afraid, are you afraid of shit? The emperor has a will, we naturally follow the order, and no one stopped him from being a minister of punishment.” Hehe smiled and said: “However, is the punishment department just saying that? People from the Jinyi Qi family may have some weight in the army. Now that they come to punish the name, do you think this little prince can really rule the seven divisions?”

Another official poured a cup of tea and presented it to Cao Sen, not without worry: “Sir, behind Jin Yi Hou is the emperor, since the emperor ordered him to come to the Ministry of Punishment, it is natural to support him, if we really Offending him, will he cause trouble?”

“Yeah, Lord Juju, this little Marquis acted against Lord Shilang under the watchful eyes of the public two days ago.” Another official said with lingering fears: “If our group really makes him unhappy, will he? ?”

Cao Sen rolled his eyes and said: “Why, is he still going to fight in the yamen of the Punishment Department? Hundreds of people are up and down in the Punishment Department, but I want to see if this little prince is fighting one by one from top to bottom. It’s clean. If he really doesn’t care about bullying others in the Punishment Department, let’s go to him immediately, I don’t believe it, the hundreds of officials in the seven divisions of the Punishment Department can just let him mess around.”

All the officials nodded slightly. Cao Sen saw the worried expressions on everyone’s faces, and lowered his voice: “Everyone, you have to be calm. Although Qian Butang was dismissed from office, everyone thinks that this is the end of the matter. ?” Holding the teacup, picked up the tea lid, gently stroked the tea foam, and said meaningfully: “Some things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.”

“Sir, you are the one who picked us up.” An official flattered: “We will do whatever the lord tells us to do. Just listen to what the lord means, does Qian Butang still have a chance to make a comeback? ?”

Cao Sen took a sip of his tea and said, “Nonsense. Qian Butang has been in charge of the Punishment Department for more than ten years, do you think it’s true that you will return to your hometown?” He said in a low voice, “Master Daxi and Master Chu are both from Qian Butang. If the imperial court really wants Qian Butang to go into hiding, how can they let the two servants stay safe and sound?”

An official next to him stroked his beard and whispered, “Don’t forget everyone, why was Qian Butang dismissed from office this time?”

Cao Sen nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Old Lu still understands.” He glanced at a few people, and said leisurely, “Qian Butang was dismissed from office, why? Hou insisted on overthrowing Qian Butang and gave Qian Butang a big hat. Naturally, the situation at that time had to be stabilized. Although the emperor was young, he was wise and talented. For the time being, Qian Butang’s official position was over. , in order to stabilize the scene hehe, at that time, the Black Scale Battalion and the Black Sabre Battalion under Jin Yihou were tit-for-tat, is it true that the Zhenguo Guild and Jinyihou really want to fight?”

Everyone nodded slightly, and the official surnamed Lu said: “The old man of Zhenguo Cheng held the country and gave Jin Yihou face, which solved the stalemate. It’s just that Qian Butang was dismissed and removed from office like this. Let’s just forget about it. Think about it, Qian Butang is doing business for the government of the township, after the accident, if the government of the township is left behind, it will be in the future!”

Several officials suddenly showed signs of comprehension, and some nodded repeatedly: “Exactly, it is absolutely impossible for Duke Zhen to ignore this matter.”

Everyone knew in their hearts that during the change in the imperial mausoleum, Qian Raoshun joined the Sima family, which could be said to have played a crucial role in overthrowing the King of Huainan. Qian Raoshun was dismissed from office because of this incident.

But for making such a contribution to the Sima family, if the Sima family let it go, who can give up their lives for the Sima family in the future?

“Qian Butang was temporarily wronged, and that was to stabilize Jinyihou’s group.” Cao Sen whispered: “Think about it for yourself, Duke Zhen Guo is an old official of the three dynasties, and now he is an important minister of the auxiliary country, and the affairs of the imperial court are large and small. It’s all handled by Duke Zhen Guo, how can Jin Yi Hou be compared with him?”

The official surnamed Lu glanced out the window, and then chuckled lightly: “Since Qi Jing passed away, the Jinyi Qi family has been unable to control the Qinhuai Army, this little prince is young and has no qualifications, so he can take action. , and only the Black Scale Camp that the emperor ordered to rebuild, what else can he have? A young prince, can he be compared with the old officials of the three dynasties?”

Such a comparison makes everyone feel that the strengths and weaknesses are distinct, and they can’t help but nod their heads.

Cao Sen took another sip of his tea, then put the teacup on the side, and said, “The King of Huainan is dead, and now the government has to rely entirely on Duke Zhen. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Duke Zhen has to put up with some things for a while. Fan, when the situation stabilizes, do you think that you can let a brocade-dressed waiter jump up and down in the court? What kind of person is Duke Zhen Guo, is it difficult for him to find a pretext to restore the Minister of Qian to his post?”

“So, Qian Butang will soon resume his position as an official and make a comeback?” An official’s eyes brightened.

Cao Sen smiled and said: “Is there any need to say more? Do you know that the former emperor issued a decree and took away the title of the loyal marquis? Since the founding of the country, it has always been the four hereditary marquis, and this suddenly lost one hereditary marquis. And it’s the Sima family, don’t you think it’s strange?”

“Of course it’s strange.” The official next to him said in a low voice, “That night, Hou Jinyi made a bet with Hou Zhongyi. Although Hou Zhongyi was indeed defeated, I never thought that Hou Zhongyi would really ask for a cut.”

“It’s not a big deal.” The official surnamed Lu said: “Zhongyihou made a bet in front of so many officials and lost in the end. The strange thing is that the emperor actually approved this statement, there is the queen mother in the palace, and the prince of the state in the court, if they want to keep the marquis of loyalty and righteousness, it is not difficult.”

Cao Sen smiled and said, “I don’t hide it from you, according to the rumors I got, although the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness was deprived of his title, but the emperor ordered him to be named a former general, and he will rush to the front line to serve in a few days! ”

Everyone was surprised.

“Sir, are you going to the Qinhuai Army?”

“It’s not the Qinhuai Army, where is it?” Cao Sen raised the teacup again: “The former Qinhuai Army was inextricably linked with the Qi family. Now the Sima family has gone to the Qinhuai Army, hehe!” Looking around at everyone, he whispered: “You still don’t understand what’s going on?”

The official surnamed Lu smiled and said, “So, given time, Duke Zhenguo will definitely restore the Minister of the Ministry of Finance to his post.” He frowned slightly: “What will happen to our little prince then?”

Cao Sen said lightly: “This is not something you and I can manage. You all know, who pulled Qian Butang off his horse? And Lord Shilang, who was beaten in public? Don’t you want to fight against Qian Butang and Shi Lang on purpose? Waiting for them to come!” Hehe smiled, which was meaningful.

Everyone was suddenly enlightened, and the official surnamed Lu said: “You guys haven’t thanked the judge, if it hadn’t been reminded by the adults, we might have ruined our future.”

The officials thanked Cao Sen for a while, Cao Sen waved his hand and said: “Everyone has been together for so many years, sharing happiness and suffering together, there is nothing to say. The court situation has changed, everyone’s eyes should be brighter, Don’t be confused for a while, it doesn’t matter if you hurt your future, but don’t accompany your head in it.”

“Sir, Jin Yihou is now in charge of the Criminal Department. Before Qian Butang arrives, we will always have to deal with him.” An official said worriedly, “Then how should we deal with it?”

“Deal with it?” Cao Sen sneered: “Do what you want, UU read www.sonicmtl.com The Ministry of Punishment is governed by the rules of the Ministry of Punishment, if he abides by these rules, we will all perform our own duties, and no one will harm the other. , otherwise we people have stayed in the Ministry of Punishment for so many years, is there no way to deal with a young prince? He knows nothing about the name of punishment, even if he is familiar with the seven divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, it will take three to five months, I am afraid that by then Qian Butang has already coming.”

“It makes sense, it makes sense.” The official surnamed Lu nodded frequently: “It’s good for everyone to know what to do, anyway, we will handle the errand, and the order of the Ministry of Justice will be there. As long as the errand is handled in accordance with the rules, the little Marquis can’t do anything to us. If that little Marquis is making waves in the Ministry of Punishment, then let’s join him together, as long as everyone works together, he won’t be able to turn the sky.” Hehe smiled and said, “Today, let’s also let that little Marquis understand that the Punishment is nothing. Kindly.”

While the officials of the Autumn Trial Division of the Ministry of Justice were discussing in a low voice, Qi Ning had already arrived at the Law Office of the Ministry of Justice under the leadership of Shen Lian.

The Law and Regulations Hall is located in the west of the Ministry of Punishment. In addition to the various rules and regulations of Chu State, the major cases tried by the Ministry of Punishment will also be filed here.

When Qi Ning entered a room of the Law Office, there were more than a dozen officials busy in the room. Seeing Qi Ning come in, no one looked this way. Shen Lian coughed twice, and everyone took a break. The official business, looking towards this side, Shen Lian said loudly: “Master Hou is here, haven’t you seen it yet?”

All the officials saluted Qi Ning without saying a word.

Qi Ning looked calm, smiled and said, “I’m busy with my own.” Looking around, seeing a room on the left and right, I heard a voice from the room on the left: “Is the Lord Hou here? Sin deserves ten thousand death.” In the voice, a man came out of the house, over fifty years old, wearing an official robe, looking like a literati temperament, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands from a distance: “Xiaguan Punishment Department Right The waiter, Chu Mingwei, has seen the Marquis!”
