Chapter 537: Case
The next morning.
Ying Yuan personally watched each of the old soldiers of Chengping leave.
They were wearing armor and holding weapons.
A senior official in the court made a suggestion to Ying Yuan:
"They are no longer soldiers and should no longer possess armor or weapons."
"Those items that are only used on the battlefield should be handed over to the court for unified management."
In response to this, Ying Yuan gave the following answer:
"If one day they pick up weapons and put on armor again, it must mean that Great Qin is in trouble."
"I'm relieved to leave those armors and weapons to them. I hope you can be relieved too."
So there was nothing more to say.
After the old soldiers returned home, they immediately hid their armor and weapons.
And also warned the family,
"Even after I die, you must never let my armor and weapons see the light of day again."
"Unless His Majesty is ill, the Crown Prince is ill, or the Great Qin is ill, you may take up your armor and weapons and help the Great Qin, His Majesty, and the Crown Prince."
To put it bluntly, if the weapons and armor of the old soldiers of Chengping could ever see the light of day again.
Then, it must be because Daqin encountered problems.
Chengping Old Soldier is a trump card left by Ying Yuan to Ying Chuan or the royal family.
After the Prince's ceremony.
The territory of Daqin fell into a relatively peaceful period.
Officials of all ranks in the court began to work hard to govern the country, hoping to take the national strength of Qin to a higher level.
May of the eighth year of Taichu.
Shui Yunji, who was far away in Yan, gave birth to a son, and Ying Yuan named him Ying Yue.
I hope that this boy can help Yingchuan guard the Eight Wildernesses and Five Mountains in the future.
Now, in the Xuanzheng Hall.
Ying Yuan handed over all government affairs to Ying Chuan.
Of course, if he handles something inappropriately, Ying Yuan will give him guidance.
As he dealt with more and more government affairs, Yingchuan gradually discovered some tedious and unnecessary things.
"Why do provincial governors always submit memorials of respect? Don't they have anything else to do?"
He found it tedious because he had to reply to all those memorials one by one.
Ying Yuan smiled and said, "They submit memorials from time to time, one reason being to tell you what they have done in the local area recently."
"Secondly, they want to show their loyalty to you. If one day they are too lazy to even submit a letter of greeting, then your prestige as an emperor will be gone."
Ying Chuan nodded, "I just think that it will reduce a lot of efficiency."
Ying Yuan smiled but said nothing.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxian suddenly walked into the hall and bowed deeply to Ying Yuan, saying:
"Your Majesty, someone is beating drums in front of the Imperial City, intending to file a complaint."
Complain to the emperor?
To be honest, this is the first time such a thing has happened since Ying Yuan took real power.
He couldn't help but feel curious, "Who is it? Is he still alive?"
There is a rule in the Qin Dynasty that if you want to file a complaint with the emperor, you must be beaten with thirty military sticks.
That's a military stick!
For some ordinary people, thirty military sticks are enough to be fatal!
Wei Zhongxian bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not follow the rules, because..."
Ying Yuan frowned, "Just because of what?"
Wei Zhongxian said bluntly: "It's because the person who filed the complaint to the emperor was Miss Aqing."
As soon as the word "A Qing" came out of his mouth.
Ying Yuan quickly stood up and asked, "Where is the person?"
"Still outside the imperial city." Wei Zhongxian responded.
Ying Yuan made a prompt decision and said, "Please invite him into the Xuanzheng Hall."
After a while.
Ah Qing brought a country girl to Ying Yuan.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan first ignored the young woman in coarse clothes and smiled at Ah Qing:
"Are you finally willing to come and see me?"
Ah Qing said, "I originally wanted to come and chat with His Majesty, but on the way I ran into the Jinyiwei people chasing this woman."
“So I brought her here.”
Chased by the Embroidered Uniform Guards?
Ying Yuan was stunned. "Assassination by the Imperial Guards?"
As soon as the voice fell, the peasant girl knelt on the ground and cried bitterly:
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me!"
At this time, the voice of Jinyiwei Commander Ji Gang was heard outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, I, Ji Gang, seek an audience with you!"
Ying Yuan sat on the chair and waved his hand.
"Let him kneel outside and wait."
Then he looked at the woman and said:
"Tell me what grievances you have, and I will make the decision for you."
The woman slowly said:
"I live in Qingzhou. My son, Zhang Tiande, the governor of Qingzhou, is a tyrant in the countryside, bullying the common people and harming many decent women."
"One day, I was walking down the street when Zhang Huaiyuan took a fancy to me. He tried to abduct me, but I refused and took advantage of the chaos to escape."
"Unexpectedly, Zhang Huaiyuan sent people to my house to kidnap me. Later, my father-in-law and my husband helped me."
"But Zhang Huaiyuan called a group of people, killed my husband and took me away."
"After Zhang Huaiyuan raped a woman, my father-in-law brought her to the court to report the incident. However, Zhang Tiande actually ordered his men to beat my father-in-law to death in the courtroom."
"I have gone through great pains to escape Qingzhou and come to the capital. I ask Your Majesty to make the decision."
As he spoke, he burst into tears again.
Ying Yuan said, not quite understanding, "How could a mere provincial governor let the Imperial Guards hunt you down?"
The woman forced herself to stop crying and continued, "Your Majesty, when I was being insulted by Zhang Huaiyuan, I accidentally saw a correspondence between Zhang Huaiyuan and a captain of the Imperial Guard."
