[The Minister of Personnel is planning to sacrifice his little daughter to save his entire family. ]
Everyone present was a smart person, and if Shen Zhiyi could see it, how could others not see it?
The old emperor did not speak immediately, but was very curious about what Shen Zhiyi would think of this approach.
[Well, this is a sensitive topic, so I won’t comment.]
Old Emperor: ...What a cunning guy.
In the end, the old emperor fined the Minister of Personnel a few months' salary for the crime of failing to educate his children, which was not a big deal for such a high-ranking official.
So the old emperor continued his efforts, demoted the Minister of Personnel from his post, and demoted him directly to the northwest of the motherland.
[Hahahaha, Minister of Personnel, the construction of the northwest of our motherland depends on you. ]
The Minister of Personnel took a deep breath. He was once a third-rank official, but now he had directly become an eighth-rank county magistrate.
But his little daughter harbored the murderer who killed the prince. It is not easy to save the lives of the whole family now. It is already a great grace from the emperor!
[On the 14th day of the 9th month in the 20th year of Emperor Taizong’s reign, at the hour of Mao, the Emperor pitied the Minister of Personnel for his hard work and great contributions, and although his daughter Niao was guilty, but? Dan! Yes, yes, yes, I remember that in high school, when I was studying classical Chinese, Dan was a homophone for Dan? But it seems to be Dan again. ]
Shen Zhiyi, who was caught in a dilemma, didn't notice the difficult looks around him at all.
How on earth did this guy pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi?
The old emperor closed his eyes in pain and decided to do it himself!
"I have heard that you have been diligent in your work, working day and night without slacking off, and have made great contributions. You are truly a pillar of the country. However, your daughter, Niao Niao, is shielding criminals and should be punished according to the law. I feel pity for your loyalty and diligence, and I am thinking of ways to forgive her. However, your poor parenting is ultimately your fault, so I will fine you three months' salary and demote you to the magistrate of Yunlai County as a severe punishment."
When the Minister of Personnel heard this, he burst into tears of gratitude.
"I, your Majesty, bow my head in gratitude and will do my utmost to repay your grace."
The old emperor nodded with satisfaction and looked at Shen Zhiyi inconspicuously.
Did you see it? Now you know how to write it. Just copy it.
[This old emperor is really stupid. Why did he only fine him three months' salary? He murdered the prince. What a serious crime! You should just confiscate his property.]
A group of officials who lacked self-control knelt down on the spot.
Sister, you are the living devil!
[The old man, the Minister of Personnel, relied on himself as the top HR in Daye, and took bribes from others to arrange official positions for them. Over the years, he has embezzled at least enough gold to buy a house! In addition, he also has fields all over the country. He is extremely rich. ]
[Chen Zhaoyi wants to overthrow the big landlords, right? Here is a ready-made one.]
[Ah, Chen Zhaoyi also said that the future of equality and freedom will begin with the bloodshed and sacrifice of the Chen family, so the Minister of Rites has every reason to stand up and expose the evil deeds of the Minister of Personnel! ]
[There is a severe drought in the south right now, so we can use the corrupt officials' money to provide disaster relief.]
After hearing this, the old emperor stared at the Minister of Rites for a moment.
The Minister of Rites was in tears.
He is just a small Minister of Rites, why does he have to be involved in such matters?
He raised his head and looked around, and wherever his eyes swept, everyone lowered their heads.
It’s as if everyone is saying: You can’t see me, you can’t see me.
The Minister of Rites opened his mouth slightly and saw the murderous gaze of the Minister of Personnel.
Now the old emperor just needs someone to speak up, and then start the investigation efficiently.
But, he was the Minister of Personnel, and his disciples could drown him with just a spit from them.
“Cough cough cough!”
The old emperor lost his patience, and the look in his eyes made the Minister of Rites' legs go limp, and he rolled out on his knees.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"No, no, no, I want to impeach the Minister of Personnel!"
"Your Majesty, you don't know that the Minister of Personnel used his position to seek personal gain and embezzled a huge amount of money. His eldest son even bullied men and women and harmed decent women. I hope Your Majesty will investigate this strictly!"
The Minister of Personnel pricked up his ears, pointed at the Vice Minister of Rites' nose and started cursing.
"Bah, stop talking nonsense!"
The Minister of Personnel knelt down in front of the old emperor and said, "Your Majesty, my son has devoted himself to reading the books of sages. How could he possibly do something like bullying men and women? It must be..."
[Oh, this is really true. The eldest son of the Minister of Personnel has flirted with beautiful girls in the East and West Markets many times. He would forcibly take some of them back to his villa when they were about to get married. The number of concubines he kept is enough to circle Daye twice! ]
The Minister of Personnel's mouth twitched fiercely. It was not that exaggerated. There were only a few dozen of them.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case. It is normal for men to have some women."
[Pah, pah, pah, they killed someone in bed, what's normal about that? The body was buried in the garden in the other courtyard as fertilizer. If you go dig now, you can still find a lot.]
Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on the Minister of Personnel's forehead.
“Your Majesty…”
He still wanted to argue and struggle.
"Shut up!"
The old emperor was furious. He didn't expect such a thing to happen at the foot of the imperial city.
"Where is the Dali Temple Minister? Get out here!"
The Dali Temple Minister's round figure just rolled out like this.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"Check it for me immediately!"
[People from the Dali Temple should go to the other courtyard of the Minister of Personnel’s eldest son and take a look. Maybe they can see the eldest son asking his servants to bury the body in the backyard.]
Upon hearing this, the Dali Temple Minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I will go now!"
[He is such an energetic guy. 】
[It seems like maybe he has a bad stomach? Or maybe he is just a straight talker? He is either in the toilet or on his way to the toilet all day, and he often poops in his pants.]
[Ah, I just pooped...]
Everyone in the hall was stunned. No matter what their mood was at the moment, everyone's eyes fell on the butt of the Dali Temple Minister.
The Minister of Works looked at the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple whose round face had turned into a sesame-pancake face, and raised the corners of his lips with satisfaction.
He couldn't be the only one to experience this kind of thing where thousands of people were staring at the hook.
The old emperor held his breath and said in a muffled voice: "Go quickly, my dear."
The Dali Temple official's mouth drooped, and he ran away crying, shouting in his heart, "Mom!"
Everyone in the hall was trying so hard to hold back their laughter that they turned purple.
The case of the eldest son of the Minister of Personnel bullying men and women was investigated very quickly, because the other party did not hide his behavior at all and was extremely rampant!
When the eldest son was dragged into the hall, that fellow was still talking nonsense.
"How dare you arrest me? Do you know who my father is?"
"See if I can scare you to death!"
The Dali Temple official had a stern face, ignoring the half-smiles of his colleagues around him, and said in a deep voice: "It would be useless even if your father were the king of heaven."
After the eldest son saw his father's face in the hall, even though he was being pressed down by others, he could not stop his desire to see his father.
"Dad, someone is trying to harm your son, why don't you just kill them right away!"
[Tsk tsk tsk, it is said that every family has its own troubles. Our Minister of Personnel has two.]
[But then again, why can't the Dali Temple Minister control his own intestines? ]
