After the rebirth, the queen took the Meiqiang tragedy script

"Does Your Majesty not like Mr. Lu?" Aunt Fanghua asked.

Ye Qinghuai fell into silence.

she does not know.

The relationship between her and Lu Yanchen was far less pure than that of Qin Baozhu.There are too many things between them, which make her unable to see her heart clearly.

"I did like him, but what I liked was not the real Lu Yanchen. What I liked was the scholar Lu Yanchen who was well-educated and cold and self-sufficient, but the real Lu Yanchen could kill the enemy with a horse. Hundreds of enemies, ordering the secret guards, robbing the prison privately, holding a lot of money, secretly funding the students to revolt. I know nothing about the real Lu Yanchen, how can I dare to say that I like him?"

"What Mr. Lu did without telling His Majesty was also done for His Majesty. Whether it was murder or riot, it was all for Your Majesty." Aunt Fanghua was rarely excited.

"For me? He used to hide his clumsiness in front of me. Could it be for my own good? He can hold this sharp knife in my hand today, how can he know if he will turn the knife to face me tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty!" Aunt Fanghua suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Ye Qinghuai. She looked at Ye Qinghuai incredulously, as if she didn't know her, "Mr. Lu came to the palace single-handedly for you, and he was so hurt. How can you question him with such words? If Mr. Lu knew, he would have... How chilling he is. Can't Your Majesty see that he likes you?"

Ye Qinghuai's pupils trembled slightly, then his expression darkened, and he asked, "Why did Auntie say that?"

Only then did Aunt Fanghua realize that she had made a slip of the tongue. She lowered her head and said, "During the day, when the maidservant was helping the Imperial Physician Zhou to change the medicine for Mr. Lu, he had woken up once. But he was still not quite sober, and he lost his mind. Seeing the servant girl in a daze, she called out...'Qinghuai'."

Ye Qinghuai was startled at first, and then asked: "That's why Auntie thinks he likes me? I'm afraid it's a bit arbitrary."

"My servant watched His Majesty grow up, but even if I am talking in my sleep, I will not call you by my first name when I think of His Majesty, let alone Mr. Lu. Moreover," Aunt Fanghua sighed vaguely, "If Your Majesty hears that Mr. No matter how you call him, you will also feel that the master is pleasing to His Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai's heart moved slightly, and soon he stabilized his expression, and said: "Let's not talk about what he thinks about me and why he has these thoughts. Even if I really love him, my aunt told me , What should I do? Do I announce to the world that I am a woman and hire him as the husband of the country? Or reject the marriage between the Gu family and the Chen family and make a private decision with him for life? Auntie, the body of Concubine Lan has not been buried yet! I am no longer Ye I am full of love, I am the Emperor Suihe!"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Then, Ye Qinghuai restrained the spirit of the whole body, and murmured: "It can only be Suihe Emperor."

She looked at Aunt Fanghua, her expression regained her composure, and she said, "How many years has it been since Auntie has quarreled with me like this, what's going on today?"

Tears welled up in Aunt Fanghua's eyes, and she said: "Your Majesty, this servant can't watch you fall in love with a woman. If the Empress Dowager knew it, she would feel sorry for herself. You have never had the happiness of being a girl in your life. It's been hard enough..."

Ye Qinghuai interrupted her: "What's wrong with me? There are too many people in the world who are more miserable than me."

She sighed, and said to Aunt Fanghua, "Auntie, I'm tired. You should rest too."

In the early morning of the next day, Du Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, came out to play as soon as the court opened.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs suddenly interrogated the case of the third division's joint trial overnight. After investigation, it was found that the case was committed by Qian Deliang, the minister of the criminal department. Because of his personal grievances with Wang Lisong, he secretly replaced the suspect before the third division's joint trial, which made the case confusing and misleading. The way of thinking about the trial. When I went to his home to arrest someone yesterday, he committed suicide in the mansion in fear of crime, and left a handwritten confession letter before committing suicide.

After finishing speaking, he raised the sealed handwriting in his hand and handed it to Li Baoquan.

Ye Qinghuai took the handwritten letter, sealed the envelope with sealing wax, stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Punishment, and the palm print was intact.

She opened the thick handwritten book and flipped through it.

Qian Deliang described in detail how he replaced Wang Lisong with Song Zhe, when and by what method he used to bribe whom, and listed them one by one, logically.

For a person who is about to commit suicide, it is unbelievably calm to write such a detailed handwritten letter before he dies.

If it weren't for the fact that there were only two servants in the Ministry of Punishment, and they were in the third rank and held real power, Gu Shihai wouldn't use outsiders in such a position. Ye Qinghuai would have wondered if this Qian Deliang was a scapegoat.

Qian Deliang was able to take all the responsibility for the crime at this juncture, and then "killed himself in fear of crime".

"Have all the principals mentioned in his confession, the jailer, dealt with them one by one?" Ye Qinghuai asked while flipping through the pages.

"Your Majesty, everyone has been taken down, and they are being interrogated one by one, and there will be no one who slipped through the net." After answering, Du Jing knelt down and said, "As the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Punishment has made such a big mistake. The minister failed to detect it in time, and should bear joint and several responsibilities, the crime is the same as dereliction of duty, please be punished by Your Majesty."

Ye Qinghuai looked at his figure kowtowing on the steps, then raised her head to look at Gu Shihai.

Gu Shihai was looking at her with a calm expression.

Looking at each other, Ye Qinghuai's expression darkened.

She withdrew her gaze and said to Du Jing who was kneeling at the bottom of the steps: "Although you have made mistakes in this case first, the mistakes are not your fault, and this time the investigation is done well, the handling is fast, the merits and demerits are equal, and there is no reward or punishment. Get up." .”

Gu Shihai took the initiative to sacrifice a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, implying that the matter can be left to him.

Ye Qinghuai decided to sell his face.

She didn't intend to punish Du Jing with this.

It's just a crime of negligence, at most he will be demoted by one level, and the punishment is too light.

Du Jing got up from the ground, his face turned pale, he took two steps back slowly, and returned to where he was standing.

"Du Jing, please nominate another person to fill the vacancy of Minister of Punishment." Ye Qinghuai said.

When she said this, all civil and military officials looked at her in surprise, including Gu Shihai.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has just made such a big mistake, and before the case has been clarified, it's probably inappropriate for it to push candidates up from within." The officer said.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has a backlog of several major cases to handle. It's time to employ people. Moreover, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has cumbersome regulations, and it's not easy for outsiders to intervene. First, let someone from the inside push up to handle the case, so don't delay the handling of the case." Ye Qinghuai said.

"In addition, I have a few personnel changes here to inform you. The former commander of the Forbidden Army, Luo Zichang, was dismissed and banned, and the commander of the Forbidden Army will be temporarily under the leadership of the Forbidden Army. General of Yawei and Wuwei. In addition, Emperor Lu Yanchen, as a foreign minister, rode horses and killed people in the palace. Although he was ordered to escort him, it was against the morality of the teacher. Therefore, he resigned from the post of emperor and returned to the Taiqing Pavilion Bachelor. I am grateful for the profound kindness of his teacher and the talent for long-term control, and I have specially ordered him to go to court to participate in politics from now on."
