Under no talent, is a world famous general

Chapter 300 The act of benevolence and righteousness!

Miyagi, the Golden Temple.

The empress sat on the main seat, with her crown hanging down, covering half of her beautiful and charming face, making her look more dignified and elegant.

Below the steps, civil and military officials are lined up on the left and right, all holding wat boards in their hands, bowing their heads and taking a deep breath, standing still.

In the queue of generals, Qin Yi was dressed in a crimson purple official uniform, holding an ivory wat board in his hand, and staring at the wat board, like a sculpture, motionless.

This was the first time he went to court, and before that, he had heard from other officials a lot of things to pay attention to when going to court, one of which was to keep his eyes on the wat board and not look directly at the empress to show respect.

So after entering the palace, Qin Yi kept staring at the ivory wat board, not saying a word, except for sneaking a glance at the empress.

Tomorrow, he will go to Yunanjun Town. Today is his last day in Zhanjing, which happens to be the early morning sun, and he is an official in Beijing, so he has to go to court.

Therefore, in this hall, he heard many officials playing various matters.

For example, King Mu sent back a letter to report on disaster relief matters.

Chi Yuanwu reported back to the army report, saying that the remnants of bandits had revived and condensed into several forces, and continued to gather in the mountains and forests, but the number was small and not to be feared.

There are also many government affairs in various places, such as salt tax payment, water conservancy projects, border issues... and so on.

Qin Yi listened for a while, feeling quite bored, so he slightly raised his eyes to look at the Empress.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his eyes, he met a pair of clear eyes. Qin Yi was startled and quickly looked away.

It never occurred to him that he would be caught by the Empress just by wandering off.

What's going on, why is the Empress looking at herself?

Qin Yi was astonished, but he didn't dare to keep looking up.

It would be no fun if she was caught by the Empress again.

At this moment, Qin Yi glanced out of the corner of his eye, at the front of the ranks of civil servants, there was a purple-robed official coming out of the shift, respectfully presenting the performance.

Depending on where the opponent is standing, it is either the second rank or the third rank.

Qin Yi immediately settled down and listened carefully.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the number of officials imprisoned because of the Chixin Gate has been increasing. So far, there are 280 officials. In just a few days, the number has increased by more than 200. There must be innocent people among them!"

Another purple-robed civil servant came out of the shift and echoed, "Your Majesty, the people in the prison know that they cannot escape the blame, and they may deliberately frame them in order to bring disaster to the court and harm others. We have to guard against it!"

Qin Yi had met the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, Gan Zhixing, the father of Gan Zijin, who stood up and said loudly, "Lord Zhao, do you mean to show that the Ministry of Punishment has framed others by saying so?"

"My lord Gan, I don't mean that, I'm just worried that the thieves have nothing to prove, and the Ministry of Punishment is so credulous that it will harm the innocent!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice stood up and reprimanded, "Nonsense, I have specially passed down the order, and you must not wrong others. Every prisoner has evidence of wrongdoing!"

The purple-robed civil servant snorted softly, "Under heavy punishment, what evidence can't be concocted?"

"You!" The minister of the Ministry of punishment was extremely angry and was about to scold, but Wen Xiang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this case has been concluded so far. If we continue to investigate, it may bring disaster to many innocent people. Please forgive me." Think twice, Your Majesty, don't pursue it any further!"

Seeing this, Qin Yi immediately understood that there must be too many civil servants imprisoned, and the civil servants were in pain, so they gathered together to remonstrate, so that the empress would not pursue it any further.

Even Wen Xiang is gone, it seems that they have suffered a lot.

I just don't know if the Ministry of Criminal Justice really arrested innocent people.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yi shook his head.

He believes that the teacher is not an omnipotent person, and will not allow the Ministry of Punishment to do things that wrong others.

Presumably the accusations made by many civil officials are nonsense.

"It was I who asked the Ministry of Justice to catch one and never let it go. By saying this, I want to show that what I did was a foolish move?" The empress said coldly, frowning slightly.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

It wasn't long before I realized that it wasn't what the teacher meant, but what the empress meant.

Thinking about it, it was the Empress who planned to uproot the Chixin Gate, so she would rather kill the wrongdoers than let them go. Anyone who was accused of misbehavior would be arrested and interrogated in prison.

The Ministry of Punishment is under the teacher's command, and the identification of military generals may be suppressed, and those involving civil officials will be reported, so that the number of people arrested in the civil official group continues to increase.

Among these people, there may be innocent people who have never colluded with the Chixinmen, but in ancient times, officials were not greedy, and there were very few of them.

Therefore, it was impossible to prove that these people were in collusion with the Chixinmen, so the Ministry of Criminal Justice collected their violations of law and discipline, reported them to the Empress, and sentenced them one by one.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi frowned slightly.

This is not bad, it is also good to take this opportunity to clean up the court.

It's just that the number of people imprisoned is close to three hundred. If the rectification continues and the number of officials in Beijing continues to decrease, it may hurt the root cause, causing everyone to be in danger, and have no intention of governing, which is not good for the overall situation!

Thinking to this point, Qin Yi raised his head and looked at Prime Minister Wu.

I saw Wu Xiang looking at the wat board, silent.

Can't help frowning, Qin Yi hesitates.

He wanted to dissuade the Empress, and if the purge continues, hundreds of Beijing officials will be imprisoned, which may bring unimaginable consequences.

Anyway, it has been confirmed that these guys do not know the identity of the murderer behind the scenes, so there is no need to implicate them any further.

He was just worried that his actions would ruin the teacher's plan. He didn't know if the teacher would be happy with this situation.

But after thinking for a while, Qin Yi resolutely left the shift.

Although he joined the teacher's school, it doesn't mean he has to listen to the teacher in everything, as long as he follows his own principles, does what he thinks is right, and has no regrets!

"Your Majesty, if this case continues, it will be of no benefit to the country. The case should be closed as soon as possible so that the officials and the people can calm down and avoid panic." Qin Yi said loudly while holding the wat board.

Hearing this, all civil and military officials were shocked and couldn't help turning their heads to look.

The civil servants did not expect that Qin Yi is a military general and a disciple of the military prime minister. The person who solved the case would stand up and help speak out, which is no different from the sun coming out from the west!
And many military officers were also taken aback, full of inconceivable!

As a military commander, why did Qin Yi speak for civil servants?
While everyone was astonished, there was also a trace of helplessness, secretly sighing that Qin Yi was too naive!

As a first-rank minister, Wen Xiang couldn't persuade him even if it didn't work. What can Qin Yi do if he speaks out?

But how do you know, the empress frowned slightly, and asked in doubt, "Qin Aiqing really thinks that this case should end like this?"

When many civil servants heard this, they were ecstatic!

There is a play!

Maybe, the empress will really agree!

Apart from their joy, they were also deeply surprised!
When Wen Xiang spoke out, the empress directly refuted it, and when Qin Yi spoke out, the empress began to think about it. Why?
Holding the wat board in his hand, Qin Yi nodded and said, "Nearly 300 people have been imprisoned. Whether they are the dark sons of Chixinmen or those who corrupted the law, they have all been captured. There is no need to pursue them any further."

The empress pursed her red lips and pondered.

At this moment, one of the military commanders stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have seconded the proposal."

Everyone was surprised when they saw it, it turned out to be Wu Xiang, and he also agreed with Qin Yi?
Qin Yi looked up, feeling puzzled.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wu looked back and nodded slightly.

Even if Qin Yi remained silent, he planned to dissuade the Empress.

After all, if it continues, it will be detrimental to the government.

Although he didn't like civil servants, he had to admit that without civil servants, it would be difficult for the court to operate with only military generals.

Therefore, for the sake of the country's future, it is true that one should not blindly attack alien parties because of one's own selfishness, and should stop in moderation.

It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Yi would stand up first.

It seems that this son is indeed benevolent and righteous, has an overall view, and will not disregard the fate of the country and the common people for his own selfishness. He has excellent character!
With the lead of the military prime minister, many generals, although they didn't quite understand, also stood up and echoed.

Hearing what Qin Yi said, the Empress was already thinking about it, but now seeing that all the officials agreed, she nodded slightly and said, "In this case, then follow what the Ai Qing said, and stop the investigation."
