Chapter 379

"It's nothing. You haven't eaten yet, right? I asked them to prepare lunch."

Li Jun nodded, lowered his head and asked, "Are you hungry? Dad asked the wet nurse to take you. "How about eating?"

Li Yu couldn't understand what her father was saying, but it didn't hinder her mood. She only heard Li Yu scream twice, and Li Jun thought she must be hungry. I gave it to the wet nurse and asked her to take it down.

Wei Haohao poured a cup of tea for Li Han. Li Han took a sip and deliberately said: "It's so hot! I don't know what I did wrong to make the queen angry? The queen could have said it. There is no need to borrow tea. Talk."

Wei Haohao was surprised and said, "Huh? Is it very hot?"

Wei Haohao took a sip and felt slightly cold. The weather hadn't warmed up yet, and the hot water would have cooled down in a matter of seconds. It must have been Li Jun's misfortune that the water cooled down just in time, and the maid didn't have time to change the tea.

Wei Haohao said sadly: "It's obviously cold, but you lied to me."

Li Jun laughed and said: "Looking at your lack of attention, is there anything bothering you? You might as well tell me, my husband can help you solve your problems."

Wei Haohao curled his lips, looking aggrieved and forbearing, which made Li Hao feel guilty.

"It's okay, I'm just in a bad mood and don't want to talk."

Li Han understood and said, "Madam doesn't want to talk, so how about I talk to you?"

"You should go and deal with political affairs after dinner."

"You have to give me time to breathe before hanging myself. I just finished dealing with political affairs, and my wife asked me to go again, alas. , If things go on like this, I will die young."

"What are you talking about?"

Li Han smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, don't worry. , I won't let you down."

Wei Haohaofeng raised his eyebrows and asked, "You know? I'm just a little worried. You don't need to take care of me. You can handle it as you want." < /p>

"I know that sometimes blindly protecting people will only make people learn worse and worse, and get deeper into misdeeds. It is also to warn them not to make more mistakes in the future."

Two days later, Pei Lun submitted his closing statement as promised. Li Jun summoned Wei Wen and Wei Guangdu. In the main hall, Li Jun directly asked the officials: "Do you still have different opinions? , you might as well say it.”

You can hear needles dropping in the court. Pei Lun has investigated the matter very clearly, including the whereabouts of every property of the Wei family, as well as the annual income and existing assets of the Wei family. Several comparisons, involving fifteen states and counties in the world, all of thisIn fact, the probability of fraud is too low. Unless the Wei family and the fifteen prefectures and prefects cheated together, it would be impossible to create such a flawless account book. Is this possible? First of all, it is impossible for the governors of these fifteen states and counties to know and interact with each other, and how can they share every money just right? Before that, no one had ever thought that the head of the state would be imprisoned one day. It would definitely be too late to falsify the accounts now. Wei Guangdu couldn't have gotten through to these prefects five years ago, right? It should be noted that some of these governors were newly appointed this year, and some had been in office for seven or eight years. How could Wei Guangdu be on good terms with each of them?

"Okay, Wei Wen, let me ask you again. You said that the Master of Wei Shangshu made you embezzle military pay. Is there any physical evidence? Where did the dirty silver go?"

Wei Wenru mourned the death of his heir, and said in frustration: "I beg your Majesty to grant the guilty minister a death."

Li Jun said: "Corruption and bribery, malpractice for personal gains, framing innocent people, concealing crimes to excuse the bandit leader, you should be executed according to the law, because you He behaved badly, and at the same time, his family was confiscated and his relatives were exiled. Within three generations, your direct descendants of Wei Wen will not be allowed to take the imperial examination or serve in the government. Do you have anything to say?"

"Your Majesty, all this was done by the guilty minister. It has nothing to do with the criminal's family. I beg your majesty to be lenient and show mercy."

Li Jun shook his head and said, "Although this matter was done by you alone, your family members are protected by you. Your five sons. How can you say you are innocent if you are all benefiting from this? You don’t think that you can cover up your relatives and continue to benefit from it, do you? Do you think it is reasonable for me to do this? ”

Pei Lun was the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and was most familiar with the law. He was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty is wise and I have no objections."

The rest of the people also said: "Your Majesty is wise and I have no objections. "

Li Jun nodded and said: "Since everyone has no objections, then the matter has been settled. Wei Qing has been found innocent and allowed to reinstate his official position. But after all, he has nothing to do with Wei Qing. Hearing that he had an unshirkable responsibility, he was demoted to Minister of War, and his title was demoted from Duke to Duke. Does Wei Qing have any objections? "

Wei Guangdu said: "I should not interfere with officials arbitrarily. The imperial court suffered losses due to the use of people in the ministry. I think your majesty punished him rightly, and I am convinced."

The minister who was originally at odds with Wei Guangdu felt unavoidable when he saw that Li Jun had punished the abbot so severely. I was a little worried and had nothing to say.

Improper employment is a matter of great or small importance. Just like the Ministry of Civil Service, officials of all sizes are appointed by their recommendation to the emperor. The emperor can appoint them after he agrees. In most cases, the emperor is not responsible for his subordinates. Officials may not necessarily understand everyone, so the importance of the official department is self-evident. But from ancient times to the present, there has never been an emperor who angered his officials because of this.

"Is Fang Qing here?"

"I am here."

"Officials in charge of the Ministry of Personnel are evaluated and appointed, and other people have no right to interfere with your decision., if you have any objections, you should report it directly to me. Although Wei Qing was wrong in this matter, your officials appointed Wei Wen at will without proper verification, causing him to make such a big mistake. I think your officials should also be punished. "

Fang Dacheng knelt down quickly and said: "I know my crime and am willing to accept your Majesty's punishment. ”

“Okay, I will punish all of you, big and small, to copy the law a hundred times, and complete it within three months. I want each of you to remember what the bottom line is.” Sirs, please also remember that as long as you are loyal to your duties, you can refuse anyone who puts pressure on you. If someone insists on asking you to do something illegal or illegal, you can report it directly to me, bypassing your superiors. At the same time, I will set up the post of Supervisory Censor, whose subordinates are called supervisors, who are responsible for supervising all states, counties, officials, and even me. The Supervisory Censor is directly responsible to me, and the number of supervisors is uncertain. I will send people to verify the things they reported back, and we will not cause any big trouble in prison. As long as you behave and sit upright, the law will only protect you. ”

“Please keep this in mind.” ”
