No shortage of walls

As a court official, he serves the emperor at the top and asks for orders from the people at the bottom.

Ye Zhisheng was thinking that Lord Huang Quan, the Minister of Punishment, Lord Liu Guo, the Minister of National Security, Lord Guan Duhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Lord Huang Qing of Dali Temple were all invited by Lu Zhi.

Lord Huang Qing came here with his brother because a relevant person was still imprisoned in Dali Temple and he was afraid that the emperor would ask about it. However, Mr. Hu Bu met the Master in person. He found a problem in the Hu Bu's case file and came to ask for an order. Unexpectedly, everyone knew about it.

Huang Qing used to be a military general. His right leg was seriously injured and he walked with a limp. His left hand was also injured, which was inconvenient. It turned out that he retreated in the north and the Song Dynasty was unified. He was recommended by his brother to be the boss of Dali Temple. He also had a bad temper, was loyal and selfless. If he didn't commit any crime, it would be the same to everyone, but if there was a problem, no one's face would be of any use. Besides, he was a military general and had killed people on the battlefield. He had the iron blood of a soldier and murderous intent. If he used force, he would be very scary. Yes The Lord who is personally afraid of others. Regarding the corruption of the state treasury by the Minister of Rites, this guy has long been murderous. As a military general, Huang Qing has long known that countless soldiers at the front died in exchange for the peace of the Song Dynasty. Now, for the sake of the Song Dynasty, everyone in the Song Dynasty has been fighting Even if his life is on the line, this old guy dares to reach out to the national treasury. How can he still pay it off?

Everyone was greeted.

Song Xing said:"Master Huang Qing has inconvenient legs and feet, please give me a seat."

Huang Qing hurriedly kowtowed to thank him. Said:"If a humble minister has no limbs, he may lose the face of the court and be punished by the Holy Spirit."

Song Xingdao:"I am given a seat on a flat body. You are a civil servant. It has nothing to do with whether you have legs or not. Your limbs are not sound, and your heart is worse than others." It is good to be unsound; there are hundreds of officials in the court and all the people in the world; each has his own place. Although a broken leg cannot fight, it can also be used for other purposes. What I want is a sound heart."

All the officials handed over, without a sound heart, No matter how good the limbs are, it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Huang Qing thanked him and sat down.

Song Xingdao:"I have long heard that Mr. Huang is fair, and I am very pleased."

Huang Qing hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty! The responsibilities of the humble minister are within his scope."

Song Xingdao:"When Mr. Guan came here, he also discovered What's the matter?"

Guan Duhua cupped his hands and said:"Back to Your Majesty! I found in the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs that the expenses reported by the Ministry of Rites were a bit strange. I thought that Lord Liu was also a first-rank minister, so I didn't dare to make my own decision, so I came to ask for the order. On the way, I met everyone. The two adults met and exchanged a few words. The emperor is guilty of the crime. As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I only found out at this moment that I hope the emperor is guilty of the crime."

Song Xing's face remained as usual. Said:"He has been doing this for decades, and his hands and feet have long been familiar. It is also your ability that he can be discovered by you. I invite all the adults here today, not to discuss how to convict people. Song Dynasty has legal criminal law, and punishment is based on the law." Okay, now I want Mr. Ye to concurrently serve as the Minister of Rites for three years. What do you think?"

Others did not speak. Ye Zhisheng asked first:"Master Liu Guo, Master Liu Chengwen really has no way of turning back."

Liu Guo remained silent and silently took out a small book from his sleeve and gave it to him. Ye Zhisheng opened it and saw that there were more than a dozen charges, each with clear reasoning and clear evidence, all of which were related to embezzlement of the state treasury. After looking at Erjo carefully, an angry look appeared on his face! Said:"This old man……"Thinking that the emperor is right in front of you. Hastily changed his mind. road:"……Isn't Mr. Liu's first-grade salary enough? He had forgotten the laws of the previous dynasty."

Huang Quan silently handed over another notebook.

Ye Zhisheng said:"Not long after I became minister, I used to be a minister of the first rank. I had one wife, two concubines, and seven children at home. There is still plenty left. In the past few years, the holy gods have been able to eat enough, so I planted some vegetables, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in the garden at home. The salary of the Song Dynasty was already high, and it was a gift from heaven. The snow came at the end of the year, and I saved a month of meat, so there was more left. It seems that greed is not enough."After he finished speaking, he paused for a while. He returned the notebook. He cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty! I am willing to serve as the Minister of Rites on my behalf, but my ability is limited. I hope you will help me in the future."

These are all pure ministers. After hearing this, Huang Quan was the first to say:"We are all ministers of the Song Dynasty! We share your majesty's worries, ask for orders for the people, and do our duty, all for your majesty, and for the country of Song. We are originally to discuss the affairs of the country, and it is our duty to do so with the Ministry of Rites."

As soon as he said this, everyone nodded.

Just as he was talking! Lu Zhi opened the door and came in. He cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty! Master Liu, the Minister of Rites, requested the order.

Song Xing said:"Let him wait.""I wonder what this guy is doing here?

He immediately said:"When He Shizhang comes back and asks him to come see me, I have to talk to him about the two Mr. Huang. You are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Prime Minister of Dali Temple; I will let you be the ugly one."

Huang Quan and Huang Qing hurriedly stood and held their hands. Huang Quan said:"Brother Wei Chen is Song Chen! We only recognize the king and father, we only recognize the laws of the Song Dynasty, and we only recognize the millions of people in the Song Dynasty. There are no good or ugly people. Those who do not break the law are all good people. Those who do break the law! Wei Chen is the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and his words and deeds all abide by the laws of the Song Dynasty. Song

Xing nodded. He said:"Liu Guo, please organize everything in your hands and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible. For those who are still under investigation by the Ministry of National Security, send a person in charge to hand over to the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Guan, it is your duty to do it yourself." , handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.

The two of them cupped their hands and said,"I obey the order!"

Song Xing said:"There is trouble for Mr. Huang Qing at Dali Temple."

Huang Qing said hurriedly:"It's my duty as a minister.""

Everyone knew it was time to go out, so they all left.

Song Xing stood up and saw each other off. The ministers were flattered. Song Xing smiled. He reached out and patted Huang Qing's left shoulder. Huang Qing was even more frightened. The emperor could reach out and pat Huang Qing. It was a great favor. Everyone bowed their heads and left.

Song Xing said:"When He Shizhang comes back, I will ask Commander Lu to inform you.""

"Obey!"
