Zhenwu Tianxia: Summon Yuwen Chengdu at the beginning

Chapter 26

While Qin Wei and Fu Chengyi were drinking tea at Mingxin Tea House, Wei Rong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, came to Zhenwu Division.

His son has been imprisoned by Zhen Wusi for two days and two nights, the mother and wife at home are very worried, and they keep urging him to get his son back.

Therefore, after going to court, he did not return to the Ministry of Punishment, but went directly to the Zhenwu Division.

The person who received him was Pang Yuan.

Although Pang Yuan is only a member of a hundred households, because of his older age and calm personality, Qin Wei arranged many things for him, such as the work of receiving visitors.

"Master Wei, please sit down, please sit down!" Pang Yuan welcomed Wei Rong into the main hall, and at the same time ordered the servants beside him to serve tea.

Wei Rong sat in the hall expressionlessly and asked, "Where is His Royal Highness?"

"His Royal Highness did not come to the yamen today, it seems that he has gone to court." Pang Yuan said.

Wei Rong frowned, "It's been half an hour, and he hasn't come back yet?"

"This, the lower officials don't know." Pang Yuan said in a low voice.

Wei Rong took a deep breath, and suppressed the anger in his heart, "The dog is still in your company's cell, I don't know when your company will release him."

"This official can't be the master, Master Wei wait a moment, let the official go and ask." Pang Yuan said.

Wei Rong gave him a hard look, but felt helpless.

Pang Yuan bowed and exited the lobby, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, then turned and walked into Li Ru's study, and reported to Li Ru about Wei Rong's visit to Zhen Wusi.

"My lord, what should I do next?" He asked Li Ru.

"Procrastinate, that Wei Huo was imprisoned at the request of His Highness, and we can't make the decision if His Highness is not here." Li Ru said casually.

"Will this cause trouble?" Pang Yuan asked with some concern.

He didn't know why Qin Wei wanted to imprison Wei Huo, but he knew that Wei Rong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was not easy to mess with, anyway, he couldn't afford to mess with him.

"It's okay, even if there is trouble, it's His Highness's trouble, and it has nothing to do with you." Li Ru smiled.

Pang Yuan thought so, and the worries in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

"Then won't your lord go out to see Lord Wei?"

Li Ru waved his hand and said: "If I come forward, it will be even more troublesome. I will delay it and wait for His Highness to come back to deal with it."

Pang Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to entertain Wei Rong.

He could only push Wei Huo's matter to Qin Wei, saying that Qin Wei had to decide this matter.

Wei Rong was very annoyed by this, but he couldn't vent his anger on Pang Yuan.

In this way, Wei Rong drank herbal tea in Zhenwu Division for more than an hour, and then Qin Wei returned to Zhenwu Division slowly in a carriage.

"Oh, isn't this Master Wei?"

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, Qin Wei saw Wei Rong.

"Your Majesty pays homage to His Royal Highness the Duke!" Wei Rong cupped his hands with a gloomy complexion.

"Free courtesy, free courtesy, Mr. Wei comes to the door, my Zhen Wusi is really flourishing!"

Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Pang Baihu, how can you entertain Lord Wei with this broken tea? Hurry up and take out the cold camellia tea that the king treasures, and treat Lord Wei well."

"Master Wei is the Shangshu Lord of our Dali Criminal Department, and most people would never see him. Today, Lord Wei is here in our Zhenwu Division, so we must not lose our etiquette!"

"Master Wei, please sit down, please sit down!"

Qin Wei's words were both enthusiastic and eccentric, which made Wei Rong's frown deepen after hearing this.

Pang Yuan immediately arranged for someone to brew a pot of Hanshan tea.

When the tea was served, Qin Wei held the tea bowl and drank it one sip at a time.

Wei Rong sat beside him, frowning tightly.

"The lower official doesn't seem to have offended His Royal Highness, but just neglected it before. Why is His Royal Highness so unforgiving?"

Ever since his son was imprisoned by Zhenwusi, he has been reflecting on where he offended Qin Wei.

But after thinking about it for a long time, he never thought of where he offended Qin Wei.

Qin Wei put the tea bowl on the table and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you offend this king, because this king is grand."

"Besides, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you don't look at the monk's face, you look at the Buddha's face. With King An around, even if you offend this king, this king will not care about it."

"Then why did His Royal Highness do this!" Wei Rong asked in a deep voice.

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, "You offended Zhen Wu Si!"

"I don't understand!" Wei Rong looked at Qin Wei.

"The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the world's criminal prisons, and the Martial Arts Department is responsible for deterring the world's martial arts, cracking down on martial arts crimes, and establishing a new order in the martial arts world."

Qin Wei reached out and tapped the armrest of the seat lightly, "Do you understand?"

Wei Rong's expression changed slightly, "But the Ministry of Punishment has never interfered with these things."

"Wrong, you didn't intervene before because you were escaping, but now? You still don't intervene?"

"Don't tell me you want to wait for Zhen Wu Si to finish everything before you intervene? Hehe, what's the use of having you as the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Qin Wei said slowly.

Wei Rong lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

He naturally knew that some of Zhenwusi's responsibilities overlapped with those of the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, but he was still unwilling to wade into the muddy water of Zhenwusi.

Because Zhen Wusi has too many enemies.

Don't look at the fact that Zhenwusi is doing well in Kyoto now, but if Zhenwusi wants to shock the world of martial arts, he must go out of Kyoto.

And the power of warriors outside of the capital is far stronger than those in the capital. How difficult is it to deter those powers of warriors?

But what Qin Wei said is also true, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the criminal prisons all over the world, and any criminal case in Dali must be reviewed by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If the Ministry of Punishment does not support Zhenwusi, Zhenwusi will be very difficult to deal with, because the Ministry of Punishment can overturn the case tried by Zhenwusi.

This is also the reason why Qin Wei clings to Wei Rong.

"What if the Ministry of Punishment doesn't intervene?" Wei Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at Qin Wei.

The corners of Qin Wei's lips curled up slightly, "Then change to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

"His Royal Highness should not have such ability." Wei Rong said.

"But Your Majesty does!" Qin Wei looked at him.

"You courtiers are all fans of the authorities. Do you really think that the town's military commander belongs to the king?"

"The Zhenwu Division was established by His Majesty, and His Majesty will remove all stumbling blocks that hinder the development of the Zhenwu Division. Don't say that you are just a Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, even if you are the chief assistant of the cabinet, you cannot change Your Majesty's will."

"Didn't you find something strange in the court?"

Qin Wei asked.

"What's weird?" Wei Rong asked.

"There has been no movement from the cabinet or the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies up to now."

"By the way, there is one thing you may not know. The Zhenwu Division also imprisoned a few people from Chengguo's mansion, but Chengguo's mansion just sent someone to deliver a note, and did nothing else."

"Also, isn't Prince An's Mansion and Duke Cheng's Mansion the biggest support behind this Fenxiang Pavilion?"

"Aren't they too honest!" Qin Wei looked at Wei Rong with a smile.

In the past two days, many people participated in the performance of him in the court, but neither the cabinet nor the five-army commander's mansion had any movement, especially the existence of those few people who were mature and mature, as if they were pretending to be dead.

What does this mean? It means that Li Huang has unified his thinking in the cabinet and the five military governors' mansions, and they all know that the Zhenwu Division can't move.

Those who are really jumping are those who can't see the situation clearly, such as Wei Rong, those nobles, and those censors of the Inspectorate.

Wei Rong's complexion changed again and again, and it took him a long time to calm down his complicated mood.

"It's Meng Lang, the next official!" Wei Rong said bitterly.

"It's still too late to wake up, if it's later, hehe~~" Qin Wei picked up the tea and took a sip.

"In his position, to seek his own government, as an important minister of the court, he must have a long-term vision. Although Zhenwusi is just a toddler now, in the future Zhenwusi will definitely suppress the world's martial arts. Because standing behind Zhenwusi is His Majesty!"

"In Dali, who can refute His Majesty's will!"

The gentle voice echoed in the lobby, making Wei Rong's thoughts tremble non-stop.

Although Emperor Li is old, his dragon prestige is getting stronger and stronger.

At this moment, Wei Rong finally understood what he had overlooked. What he neglected was the most important thing as an important minister, which was the Sacred Heart.

Seeing Wei Rong's preoccupied look, Qin Wei couldn't stop laughing secretly.

Raise the banner and hug your thighs.

The biggest banner and thickest leg in Dali is his grandpa.

As long as he hugged his thick thigh tightly, Zhen Wusi would be safe and sound within the capital, but after leaving the capital, it would depend on Qin Wei's own abilities.

After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Some martial arts forces in the prefectures and counties are like earth emperors. To deter them, one must have enough force.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Royal Highness, I understand!" Wei Rong said.

Seeing that Wei Rong was still quite sensible, Qin Wei also heaved a sigh of relief.

He was just afraid that Wei Rong was a stupid person who couldn't even see the situation in the court clearly and would do something that would embarrass Zhen Wusi.

Although Zhenwusi has Lihuang's support behind him, it is still very troublesome to change to a minister of punishment. Qin Wei told Wei Rong so much, but he didn't want to waste time because of these troubles.

"Pang Yuan!" Qin Wei called out.

"The next official is here!" Pang Yuan, who was standing outside the door, responded quickly.

"Let Master Wei take Young Master Wei back." Qin Wei ordered.

"Here!" Pang Yuan glanced at Wei Rong, bowed and retreated.

But Wei Rong asked again: "If the officials still don't want to intervene in Zhenwusi's affairs, what will His Highness do?"

Qin Wei looked at him with a smile, "This king will hand over your son to the Ministry of Punishment."

Wei Rong was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"His Royal Highness's method is really brilliant!"

Qin Wei smiled and didn't speak any more.

Handing over Wei Huo to the Ministry of Punishment and handing over to Wei Rong are two completely different concepts. Handing over to Wei Rong means that Wei Huo is acquitted, but handing over to the Ministry of Punishment means that Wei Huo is a criminal.

Then came the question, Wei Huo went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what should Wei Rong do?
Is it righteousness to kill relatives or bend the law for personal gain?
With just this one son, he would definitely not be able to kill relatives righteously.

As for bending the law for personal gain, then he, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, has a reason to replace him.
