Pen Interest Pavilion www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the sun and moon wind!    There are two copper cranes in the corner of the imperial study room, which is lit with sandalwood incense, curling smoke from the mouth of the cranes.

Sandalwood incense can concentrate the mind, but at the moment is nervous, the back of the neck has cold sweat seeping out, respectfully said: "Wu De Fang warehouse has been managed by the Treasury Department, I previously neglected to ask, until the incident today only to know that the warehouse has a remnant of the knife, the crime of oversight is unforgivable."

"I didn't say I would pardon you." The sage said indifferently, "I am asking you how these weapons could enter Wudefang?"

"In reply to Your Majesty, vehicles entering and leaving Wu De Fang must have an official letter from the Department of Treasury." Dou (Dou) cautiously said, "The weapons forged in the forge will be transported to Wu De Fang by the Department of Treasury, and with an official letter stamped by the head of the Department of Treasury, they can be deposited within the warehouse."

The sage calmly said, "So these remnants of swords entered the warehouse under the operation of the Department of Treasury." The sage looked at Dou Mo indifferently, and those far-reaching eyes held a trace of coldness in their calmness.

"Yes!" Dou (Dou) could not deny it.

The sage calmly said: "Forging weapons, is responsible for the Ministry of Industry Military Weapons Division, so this batch of remnants of swords Ministry of Industry Military Weapons Division is naturally also clear." Looking at the minister of state, he said indifferently, "How does the minister of state think this matter should be handled?"

"Back to the sage, Wu De Fang is an important place for imperial armaments, and the weapons stored therein are for the protection of the peace of my Great Tang." The Minister of State's voice was low and slow: "In this case, the officials involved are naturally not few, but no matter who is involved, they should be thoroughly investigated to the end. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Treasury are the first two departments to bear the brunt, in addition to whether the Ministry of Household is involved, also need to investigate in detail, how many people are involved, how many people will be investigated and dealt with, will not be condoned."

"Dou, where is the head of the Treasury Department now?" The sage asked.

Dou (Dou) immediately said, "Your Majesty, the head of the Treasury Department Han Di was put under guard by me, and I ordered him to write a detailed report of everything he knew and submit it to the palace."

The sage pondered for a moment before saying, "Mei'er, prepare a decree to order the Da Lisi to investigate this case, and immediately put the heads of the three divisions of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Military Affairs in the Da Lisi. Have the Secretary of the Da Lisi, Su Yu, submit the confessions of the three to the palace at this moment tomorrow."

"Obey the order!" Mei'er said respectfully, but still asked softly, "Your Holiness, is one day too tight for the trial of the three chief ministers?"

"If the confession cannot be presented within one day, Su Yu can resign and return to his hometown." The sage said indifferently, "If the three divisional masters cannot truthfully confess within one day, they will be directly transferred to the Ministry of Punishment and handed over to Lu Junzhong."

Mei'er returned, "Mei'er understands."

The most important duty of Changsun Mei is to write the decrees according to the saint's wishes, so most of the decrees issued from the palace are written by Changsun Mei herself.

To be able to hold this position, of course, the saint's love and trust, but their own talent is also indispensable.

The lady of the inner house is not of high rank, but those who understand the affairs of the palace know very well that this gentle and beautiful lady of the palace, who seems to be unobtrusive, just a woman, is definitely one of the most important people around the saint.

Dou (Dou), however, was a little dismayed in his heart.

The sage was able to instantly understand that this case is related to the three divisions, that is a matter of course, but but ordered by the Da Lisi to investigate the case, is really out of Dou mole's expectations.

Since the sage ascended to the throne, the first choice of Kyoto cases are investigated by the Ministry of Justice, the powers of the Da Lisi is becoming weaker and weaker, and has even become only responsible for supervising the execution of the court, and because of this, the various departments of the Kyoto government mentioned the Da Lisi, are blandly smiled, a clear water court in the Secretary of the Da Lisi without much power, of course, will not make anyone respect

The case of the Da Lisi is a very important one.

This case Shang Shu Province has half of the Yamen involved, directly involved in which there are three divisions, compared to the previous Fan Wenzheng case is obviously much more serious, according to reason, this case should be the Ministry of Justice, but the sage ordered by the Da Lisi to investigate thoroughly, Dou Mo time really do not know the mind of the sage.

"When I summoned Xue Ke-yong, I promised him that the Yuzhou battalion has been credited with fighting the bandits, what is missing, can be proposed." The sage's voice is calm, although this case will certainly set off a huge storm, but the sage is always the master, emotions do not have too much ups and downs: "He went to the Ministry of War to receive weapons, is what I promised. Only ....... I want to know how Xue Ke Yong received the remnant sword at the armory, and after he found it, why did he open the box on Zhuque Street to make it known to everyone?"

Dou (mole) bowed his head and did not dare to speak, and the Minister of State, who was sitting on the side, said in a deep voice: "The sage asked, you say what you know, and if you conceal anything, you are guilty of deceiving the king."

Dou (Dou) hurriedly said, "I found out clearly that Xue Ke Yong could get the broken sword in the armory because Qin Yi, the official of the Arsenal Department, found the broken sword first, and then deliberately let Xue Ke Yong know about it, and after Xue Ke Yong learned about it, he deliberately transported the broken sword to Zhuque Street."

"In that case, it was Qin Yi and Xue Keyong who made the matter public together?" When the sage spoke to his subjects, his voice was never choppy, so it was difficult for the subjects to feel the sage's emotions.

However, Dou (Dou) vaguely heard a hint of displeasure from the sage's words and immediately said, "Han Di wanted to stop Xue Ke Yong from making a scene about this matter in front of the public, but Xue Ke Yong insisted on transporting that batch of remnant swords to the Ministry of War's government office. I thought ......!" Said here, finally did not dare to continue to say.

"What did you think?"

"I thought ...... Qin Yi intends to expose this matter, while Xue Ke Yong intends to make this matter known to everyone." Dou (Dou) cautiously said, "Both of them do not care about the overall situation, so I ..... .1"

Before he could continue, the sage laughed lightly and said, "You think they don't care about the big picture? Dou Aiqing, in your opinion, what is the big picture?"

The sage sighed lightly and asked again, "The Qin Yi you mentioned is the one who banged the drum in front of the Ministry of Punishment last time?"

"Back to the sage, it is exactly this person." The Minister of State finally said: "The previous time Han Yu Nong was detained by the Ministry of War, Qin Yi was helpless, so he rode a horse and pulled a cart and banged a drum in front of the Ministry of Punishment's government office. After Fan Wenzheng's case, Han Yunong was transferred to Pei Xiaogong's command by the Ministry of War, and Qin Yi stayed in Kyoto and served as a magistrate in the Ministry of War."

"Oh?" The sage said with a smile, "He stayed at the Ministry of War?"

The minister of state hesitated for a moment and finally said, "This is the meaning of the old minister."

"It was the State Minister who kept Qin Yi in Kyoto?" The sage was slightly surprised: "Why was he not sent to Pei Xiaogong's command along with Han Yunong?"

The Minister of State laughed bitterly: "It's not all my intention, but I couldn't resist that girl, so I agreed to her and arranged for him to train in the military department."

The saints were even more surprised, that is, Dou is also a little surprised, but did not dare to look up.

"Is it Qingcheng?" Although the sage was a little surprised, the corners of his lips showed a light smile, "The Minister of State is saying that that girl asked the Minister of State to keep Qin Yi in Kyoto? When would the Xiahou family's little girl help others with their future?"

The Minister of State shook his head and sighed: "The sage should know that last year, the Purple Supervisor of Guards Xiao Jian paper went to Xiling on an errand, the girl knew about it, pestered to go to Xiling with Xiao Jian paper to see the world, I did not agree, she went to the palace to beg the sage's decree, I had no choice but to let her follow a

Get up and go."

Chang Sun Mei laughed at the side: "Has the sage forgotten? Miss Qingcheng arrived at the palace, softly grinding for several hours, the sage at first worried about her safety, but also did not agree, finally grinding can not, and her about the law, and finally allowed her to follow Supervisor Xiao Wei to go together."

The sage smiled, his eyes showed a rare trace of kindness, smiled and said: "I remembered. This is also my fault, that time Xiao Jian paper into the palace, the girl in my side to wait, heard Xiao Jian paper to go to the west of the tomb, so out of mind. But she stays in Kyoto all the time, it's good to go out and see the world."

"She was in Xiling, or gave birth to some small incident, early by the Xiao Wei supervisor sent back." The old minister sighed: "When she was in Yan County, she sneaked out, encountered a little trouble, just met Qin Yi, who was still working in Turtle City at the time, after Qin Yi relieved her, she always thought of this kindness. The girl also got the news, so she had to pester the minister to arrange a job for Qin Yi to repay his kindness. I feel that Qin Yi is too brave and intelligent, so I want to keep him in the military department to experience, if really can train out, is also considered for the court to train a talent to."

The sage laughed, "So that's how it is, no wonder he was left in Kyoto. But that little girl knows how to repay her kindness, that's also affectionate and righteous."

"The old minister originally thought that he was honestly serving in the Ministry of War, and no longer had to be pestered by the maids." The Minister of State laughed bitterly: "Who knew that Qin Yi was in charge of the warehouse, but still got into this mess. This is not to say that he is wrong, but this kind of thing, if it can be solved quietly, than the current situation is better to deal with."

"Why does Qin Yi want to expose this matter?" The saint's collected his smile and seemed to ask a very casual question.

The Minister of State did not say anything, and Dou (Dou) even tried to breathe a little lighter.

"If the Minister of State does not want to talk about it, then Aiqing Dou will talk about it." The sage's bland gaze landed on the prostrate Dou (魯鼹): "Since he is serving in the Ministry of Military Affairs, could it be that you, the military hall officer, do not know what is in the mind of your own men?"

Dou (Dou) very carefully said: "I dare not assert, but ...... I think he may be intentionally trying to make the military department unsettled. He was originally a night crow under General Black Feather, watched General Black Feather was killed in Xiling, and the cause of General Black Feather's murder was related to the Ministry of War did not timely transfer the Everlasting Army to Xiling, so I think that Qin Yi has grievances against the Ministry of War in his heart. This time he found the opportunity, is hoping to make the Ministry of War to lose face, or even ...... The result he would like to see is that someone is severely punished for this."

"Are you saying that he is taking revenge on the Ministry of War?" The sage asked indifferently.

Dou (Dou) was busy saying, "This is only a wild guess of my ministers, I dare not ..... not dare to be sure."

"Mei'er, do you think Sangha Dou's guess is correct?" The sage withdrew his gaze from Dou.

Chang Sun Mei understood the sage's meaning, she asked this, not really asking herself whether she agreed with Dou Mo's view, but just let herself say what was in her mind, this gentle and moving palace lady did not hesitate, respectfully said: "The Chang Sheng army was not transferred out of the customs, it is indeed the fault of the Ministry of War, the guilty officer Fan Wenzheng has also been punished, this has given the world an explanation, naturally, it also gives The first thing you need to do is to give an explanation to the people of the world, and naturally to Qin Yi and all the generals of the Great Tang Dynasty. Mei'er thought that Qin Yi had spent time in the western frontier and was a soldier, so he could understand the situation of the generals at the border. He found the mutilated swords in the arsenal, and as a soldier, he could hardly control the anger in his heart and did not want anyone to harm the interests of the soldiers, so he found the opportunity to expose it, just protecting the interests of those generals who have fought in blood for the Great Tang." Glancing at Dou Mo, her powdered cheeks calm and steady, her voice soft: "Mei'er thought that Qin Yi was just doing what he could to do what he should, and was not stirring up trouble because he had a grudge against the Ministry of War."
