[Well, since people knew that the Dengwen drum was not just for show, many people have come here, so the sound of the drum has been heard frequently these days.]
[However, many of these are not serious matters. Most of the serious matters are handled by the Ministry of Justice, and a small number are handled by other departments. ]
【But, old emperor, you have come to work! 】
The old emperor's eyelids twitched, and he felt that something was wrong.
At this time, Chen Decai came in from outside the palace and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the Chief Secretary of the Criminal Department wants to see you."
"Let him in."
[Hey, this gentleman is coming to talk about Prince Duan.]
[This Prince Duan is really awesome. I hope the old emperor won’t bend the law for personal gain! ]
The ministers present wiped the non-existent cold sweat from their faces.
This means that you have to "reluctantly" listen to the old emperor's family affairs.
I'm so sorry.
But then I thought, how can the emperor's affairs be family affairs? They are state affairs.
After the Criminal Department's Chief Censor came in to pay his respects, he looked around hesitantly.
The old emperor blew his beard unhappily.
"Just say it."
Anyway, they all know who you are talking about.
Since the old emperor had spoken, the Chief Censor of the Criminal Department no longer hesitated.
"Your Majesty, someone just beat the drum to report the incident."
"Oh, I see."
"It's a woman."
"Yeah, and then what."
"That woman is a merchant."
The old emperor's mouth twitched fiercely.
[The old emperor has a really good temper, this guy is so slow in his words.]
Shen Zhiyi couldn’t hold it in anymore.
[The person beating the drum was a woman. Her name was Yang Hao. She was married to a clothing store owner. They were of similar age and were very much in love. But their happy days ended a month ago.]
[A month ago, when the Duan prince went to Xiangguguan, he passed by their cloth shop and happened to see Yang Hao's husband. He was so handsome that he fell in love with him at first sight. So while others would forcibly take away women, the Duan prince took away men! ]
[Yang Hao's husband swore to die and refused to obey. Now he was imprisoned in the Prince Duan's mansion. In order to save her husband, Yang Hao directly reported the case to the Dali Temple. However, when the Dali Temple saw that she was suing the Second Prince, they beat Yang Hao up. She exhaled more than she inhaled.]
[Yang Hao had been unconscious in bed for seven days and seven nights, and as soon as he got out of bed he ran to see the Dengwen drum.]
[In short, to sum it up in one sentence, Prince Duan forcibly robbed the common man! ]
The old emperor was furious.
The Du Shizhong of the Criminal Department was still talking, but he didn't get to the point after talking for a long time.
The old emperor interrupted.
"What's your name?"
[I know, I know, this guy is called Gou Dongxi.]
Shen Zhiyi held back his laughter, hahahaha, Gou Dongzhi, bastard!
"Hidden things?"
The eyes of the Criminal Department's Chief Censor lit up again and again.
The emperor actually knows his name is Gou Dongxi. Does that mean his official career is going to be smooth sailing and he will be able to make great achievements?
The old emperor snorted coldly, and the sound of him leaving was accompanied by a word -
"derogatory."
The new Minister of Personnel looked at the old emperor's back and shouted, "Your Majesty, what kind of official position should I demote?"
"Look for yourself."
The new Minister of Personnel realized that the best thing to do was to avoid appearing in front of the old emperor.
Just like that, the Chief Censor of the Criminal Department was demoted.
[On the 13th day of the 11th month, the Emperor issued an order to demote the Criminal Department's Chief Secretary, presumably because he spoke like a sloth.]
Zhang Sheren paused.
I think the back part can be removed, sister!
At this time, all the criminal officials were puzzled, but no matter how many doubts they had in their hearts, they had to bear it.
The new Minister of Personnel kindly said: "Speaking is an art. You don't need to be very artistic, but at least don't be too slow."
After going around in circles for a long time without getting to the point, I saw that he was calm and understood what was going on, and he explained the whole cause and effect in a few words.
Also made a summary.
It's a pity that the handwriting and writing style are a bit poor.
Everyone came to the Censorate and looked at the kneeling merchant woman Yang Hao. Without waiting for her to tell her grievances, the old emperor took her directly to Prince Duan's Mansion.
The Prince Duan’s mansion was huge, with a total of 500 servants, but there was not a single woman, only men.
But even though they are all men, there is no masculinity in them.
For a moment, the old emperor thought he had entered the position of Prime Minister.
He asked someone to bring a chair and sat in the courtyard, talking to Yang Haodao.
"Your husband will be here soon. As for my disappointing son, you can beat him as you like. Chen Decai, bring me the whip."
“Yes.”
Chen Decai deliberately chose the thickest brambles, which were full of sharp thorns.
Shen Zhiyi's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
[Wow, great talent, are you sure you're not seeking revenge for personal gain? ]
Chen Decai's expression remained unchanged. He didn't care about personal revenge or anything like that. He was just following the emperor's orders.
【!!! I knew it, it's a personal revenge! 】
The old emperor looked at Chen Decai in surprise.
How come he didn't know that there was a personal vendetta between the two?
[The great scholar had a godson who had red lips and white teeth. Prince Duan had taken a liking to him once he entered the palace, so...]
The old emperor took the cane fiercely and cursed: "Rebellious son!"
He is so bold that he even dares to touch the eunuchs around his father.
Chen Decai had originally prepared himself to be reprimanded by the old emperor, but he did not expect...
Prince Duan was brought in front of the crowd by the Dragon Scale Guards in disheveled clothes.
"Father, what does this mean?"
The old emperor didn't even look at his son. He turned to Yang Hao and asked, "Who should go first, you or me?"
Yang was so confused, what the hell was going on?
