Rebirth of Weak Daughter of the General’s Family - Chapter 171

The new emperor soon announced that Shen Qiang had entered the palace, which made Shen Wen a little worried. She didn’t agree to the new emperor’s request for “belonging to the country” last time. I wonder if the new emperor will use a means to force her to submit. Unlike other people who felt that the new emperor was weak and incompetent at this time, and did not understand political affairs, Shen Wen had been on the throne since the four princes and maintained a high degree of vigilance against him. The journey of the four princes northward left a deep impression on Shen Wen. Shen Wen believed that a prince born with the title of gold and jade, who can endure so many difficulties and obstacles, is definitely not a simple person. Therefore, she was at least twenty years earlier than those who commented on the “insurgency”, “unpredictable” and “scheming” of the new emperor.

Shen Wen asked Shen Jian, who was going to accompany Shen Qiang to see her, and said to Shen Jian: “You have to persuade the fourth brother not to be murderous in the palace. This will give the new emperor an excuse.”

Shen Jian nodded, but shook his head again: “I told him for a long time this morning, saying that the palace is different from the outside, and he doesn’t care about me at all.”

Shen Wen sighed: Shen Jian didn’t watch Shen Qiang grow up, and Shen Qiang didn’t buy his account. Shen Wen personally went to send Shen Qiang out, and said to Shen Qiang: “Fourth brother, don’t you…”

Shen Qiang turned his head to look at Shen Wen stunnedly. Shen Wen read a deep killing intent in his eyes. Shen Wen’s heart was chilled, and he stammered: “Fourth brother, grandmother, I definitely hope you… grow up… …”

Shen Qiang’s eyes were red, and Shen Wen knew that she had said the wrong thing. Maybe she shouldn’t mention the old lady. She still wanted to say something, Shen Qiang turned and left, not paying attention to her.

Shen Wen was worried, and began to think that this might be a conspiracy by the new emperor to let Shen Qiang enter the palace and kill the old emperor and the prince to avoid future troubles. At the same time, he could seize the handle of a Zhenbeihou, but he did not pursue Shen Qiang at this time. To make it public, this handle can also make my own family obediently…

She knew Su Wanniang’s thoughts about the new emperor, so she naturally didn’t dare to tell Su Wanniang about this suspicion. She could only worry secretly and wait for Shen Qiang to come back.

When Shen Jian and Shen Qiang arrived outside the palace, Shen Jian was stopped, and only Shen Qiang was connected to the palace. At this time, even Shen Jian was worried, fearing that Shen Qiang would cause trouble in the palace alone or be caught. frame.

Shen Qiang was taken outside a palace, and the new emperor was waiting for him. The expression of the new emperor was relaxed, but Shen Qiang closed his mouth tightly, his face tense. The new emperor motioned to him: “Come with me, and meet my father, he once ordered to rob your mansion.”

Shen Qiang’s face blushed, but the new emperor didn’t seem to see it. He walked in and said: “When you were young, I even hugged you…”

Shen Qiang was silent, his hands clenched into iron fists. They walked into a palace, it was a little dark inside, and the windows were tightly blocked, and a stench rushed into the room, and Shen Qiang couldn’t help but hold his breath. On a bed in the middle of the room, there was an old man lying half-length covered with brocade, but under the bed, there was a big basin, where there was sparse filth, and the smell of the room was coming out from there. It looks like a hole was made in the bed.

The new emperor stopped when he walked to the old man, and Shen Qiang naturally walked to the side of the bed. Several eunuchs stood by the bed, all saluting the new emperor.

The new emperor saluted the old emperor and asked an old eunuch: “How is the father today?”

Sun Gonggong said: “Fortunately, I drank some porridge in the morning and took a pair of medicine.”

The new emperor nodded, looked at Shen Qiang and said, “Father…you can’t see the wind, so the windows must be closed here.”

Shen Qiang looked at the old emperor stupidly. He couldn’t raise his clenched fist.

The new emperor said to the old emperor: “Father, this is the fourth son of Zhenbeihou.”

The turbid eyes of the old emperor turned to Shen Qiang, and there was a faint snoring in his throat, and then his eyes turned up. A **** next to him reached out and placed a little on the old emperor’s chest. The old emperor coughed in his throat. , The eyes slowly came down from above.

Shen Qiang looked at the **** and opened his mouth, but there was no sound. One of the eunuch’s arms was empty.

The new emperor asked Shen Qiang: “Did you see what you want to do?”

Shen Qiang blinked, looked at the old emperor again, and slowly shook his head, the new emperor saluted the old emperor: “Father, my son, please come back tomorrow, please.” Going out, the eunuchs all saluted.

Shen Qiang was stunned and did not say anything. He followed the new emperor like a piece of wood. When he left the house, he turned his head. In the dark shadow, Duke Gu dropped his eyes and did not look at him.

The new emperor turned around and saw Shen Qiang’s look back, and when he arrived, he said, “That’s Duke Gu. In the past, he was the master of my Three Emperor Brothers, with a strong martial arts.”

Shen Qiang opened his mouth again without saying anything.

The new emperor said: “I will take you to see Prince Mu now.”

The new emperor went to the palace, Shen Qiang did not want to go to the palace, followed the team, to another temple gate, the new emperor went to the gate, pointing to the far door and said: “You go with my servant, I will not Go.” The attendant Ding Nei beside him asked Shen Qiang to follow him to the palace gate, and Shen Qiang clenched his fist again.

Before they arrived at the palace gate, they heard a scream from the yard, and then there was no sound, but Shen Qiang practiced martial arts, his ears were so strong, he could hear the screaming inside: “You bastard! Sister Chu Rong is blind. I saw you, such a bad guy! I’ll kill you!…”

An elderly person’s voice: “Don’t hit the face, but work harder, he killed such a person…”

Ding Neiji knocked **** the door, and the scolding inside stopped. After a while, the door opened. Ding Neiji said, “Your Majesty, let the four sons of Zhenbeihou come to see Prince Hu.” The old **** inside led them in and walked around. In the shadow wall, Shen Qiang saw a man kneeling on the ground with a disheveled head, with something stuck in his mouth, and a court lady standing aside with a cold expression.

Neibu Ding hesitated and said: “Your Majesty… Your Majesty said… That… the Crown Prince is a prince after all…”

The old **** replied formally: “It was the first emperor’s instruction. Let the prince cruel to kneel for two hours a day to reflect on it.”

Nai Attendant Ding looked at Shen Qiang, and saw that Shen Qiang was staring at Prince Fu fiercely, and said: “You don’t need to gag his mouth, maybe Shen Fourth Young Master wants to talk to him.”

The maid went up and took off the cloth from the Prince’s mouth, and the Prince yelled: “I am the emperor! I am the emperor! You dare to do this, I will destroy your whole family! Come! Come!” He shouted hoarsely. , The spider webs on the tile shivered.

The old **** said: “Your Majesty is kind, otherwise you should at least cut your tongue.”

The Crown Prince looked at Shen Qiang and shouted: “Why don’t you bow! I am the emperor! I killed you!…”

Ding Neibu hurriedly said: “Block it! Block it!”

The maid next to him grabbed the prince’s hair and squeezed a bunch of cloth into the prince’s mouth…

When Shen Qiang walked to the new emperor, he was a little bit unwilling. He went to the new emperor and looked at the new emperor as if he was about to cry.

The new emperor sighed, patted Shen Qiang’s shoulder and said, “Don’t be uncomfortable. Look, they are more uncomfortable than you.”

Big tears flowed from Shen Qiang’s eyes, and he cried dumbly: “Grandma…Grandma…”

The new emperor took out a towel from his sleeve and gave it to Shen Qiang. Shen Qiang used it to wipe his nose and tears. After a while, Shen Qiang cried enough and returned the towel to the new emperor. The new emperor waved his hand and said, “You Keep it for use.” Shen Qiang sobbed and blew his nose into the towel before putting the towel into his sleeve.

The new emperor asked Shen Qiang: “What else do you want to do?” He intended to ask Shen Qiang what he wanted to do in the palace, if he still wanted to kill someone, but Shen Qiang misunderstood and said, “I want to be literate.” The new emperor nodded. , Shen Qiang thought for a while, and said: “I want to worship Father Gu as a teacher.” The new emperor hesitated for a moment, then nodded again.

When Shen Qiang returned to the mansion that day, he brought the will of the new emperor-Shen Qiang entered the palace to accompany him and became a student of the new emperor. The new emperor personally enlightened and recognized Chinese characters, and gave Gong Gong Gu as Shen Qiang’s martial arts master.

Shen Wen is stupid-what is going on! She called Shen Qiang and asked about the process little by little. For the first time, she proved her judgment on the new emperor: let Shen Qiang enter the palace. For his loyalty, as a teacher, Shen Qiang should also be a disciple of the new emperor for the rest of his life, he must be loyal to the new emperor, and he would never raise a butcher knife. Since the new emperor feels that Shen Qiang is on his side, it is natural to make him the stronger the better. It makes sense to allow him to worship Father Gu as his teacher, but this makes Shen Wen nervous: Does the new emperor know something?

Shen Qiang entered the palace soon, and the new emperor had been living in the new emperor’s courtyard before getting married. The new emperor knew that Shen Qiang had committed a killing precept in the past, and had no scruples about death or injury, so he wanted to lead Shen Qiang in abiding by discipline and law. While teaching Shen Qiang to be literate, he used the laws of the Southern Dynasty as Shen Qiang’s textbook, so that Shen Qiang was familiar with the various codes of the Southern Dynasty. As a result, ten years later, Shen Qiang became a teacher without any imperial examinations, and went directly to the Criminal Ministry. Get started. But he was a student of the emperor, and he often went to the palace to eat. Who would dare to use him as a jailer’s command. Moreover, after the prisoners knew his background, someone called him wrong. He opened his mouth and the case would not work without investigation, so his chief They all promoted him quickly, and eight years later, he became a judge of Dali Temple and the main judge was sentenced. He is selfless and selfless, relying on being the only protégé of the emperor. He is fearless and dared to start any difficult and big case. He dared to start any difficult case. He dared to attack anyone involved. His life is really countless killings. He is named “Southern Dynasties” together with the invincible Dali Temple Qing “Double judgment” is called the impermanence of black and white in the world. It’s just that Shen Qiang’s marriage is not beautiful, he has been engaged many times, and the other party retires because Shen Qiang killed each other’s relatives soon after. Later, Shen Qiang stopped asking for marriage. When he was fifty-five years old, an old monk found him and said that he had got along with him when he was young. Shen Qiang talked with him all night. At dawn, Shen Qiang’s seals left with the old monk and disappeared… These were all things that happened many years later.

The chariots in the palace came to the inn to pick up Ji Wenzhao, and they alarmed the people around. Everyone stood on both sides of the street, pointing to the royal carriage. Ji Wenzhao was deeply disturbed. He felt that Young Master Jiang must have boasted that he was only a person in the sky, and seeing the new emperor later would definitely disappoint him.

After entering the palace, he was replaced by a palace nun. He had never been in a palace before, and he was carried to a very ordinary courtyard in a dazed manner. A **** let him into the courtyard and led him into the living room. Ji Wenzhao thought that this was for him to be here waiting for the new emperor to be summoned, because the courtyard was definitely not the emperor’s imperial study room. Of course, he didn’t know that this was the place where the new emperor lived since he was born, and he did not move after he became the throne.

When Ji Wenzhao saw a young man wearing black casual clothes, sitting at the table with a sad expression, Ji Wenzhao immediately recognized that it was Gongzi Jiang, who had traveled with him in the past, and hurriedly smiled and saluted: “Master Jiang! Long time no see! You are also here to see you too. The new emperor’s “Jiangzi” is a relative of the new emperor’s relative, Jiang’s family, and it is normal for him to come to see the new emperor.

Gongzi Jiang smiled and hurriedly stood up and saluted: “Xiuming, you are here” and then motioned to Ji Wenzhao to sit down.

Ji Wenzhao sat on the other side of the table and said with a smile: “I thought of you on my way here! You must have introduced me to you.”

Jiang Gongzi looked a little embarrassed, Ji Wenzhao sighed: “Don’t tell me so well, if I don’t agree with the new emperor, won’t he blame you?”

Gongzi Jiang gave a dry smile: “No way.”

Ji Wenzhao smiled and asked: “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, you have a weak crown, right?”

Gongzi Jiang sighed: “I have lost the care of my elders, and now I have no words. Can Xiuming give me a word?”

Ji Wenzhao waved his hands again and again: “How can it be! If you really want to get the words, you have to be my mentor. When will you go to the academy?”

Young Master Jiang frowned slightly, his eyes seemed to light up, his throat moved, and he said: “Something happened at home…I…maybe…can’t go…”

Ji Wenzhao hurriedly comforted: “Don’t worry, you can go to the academy anytime, and those books can’t run away. You can deal with the family affairs before you talk. With me, you can rest assured that you can enter the academy anytime!”

Gongzi Jiang sighed. Seeing that he was still confused, Ji Wenzhao asked: “Do you remember the people on our way? My junior brother Yan Junshi”

Gongzi Jiang nodded hurriedly and said, “Did you use all the organs and weapons left by Brother Wen at that time?”

Ji Wenzhao remembered the ambush ground where Jiang Gongzi followed them to see. He usually watched them researching weapons. He thought Jiang Gongzi was a middle-aged person, so he lowered his voice and said, “Fortunately, there are those arrangements, otherwise we will definitely lose.”

Gongzi Jiang also looked around and said, “I think so, but the process is bound to be difficult.”

Ji Wenzhao said: “Of course!” He talked about the process of defending Yancheng, the thrills in the middle, and finally raised his head and smiled: “But we finally won! Let me tell you, when I was on the city watching Bei Rong retreat At that time, I deeply feel that by being a human being at this time, it will live up to the future life.”

Gongzi Jiang said admiringly: “Xiuming is a man with great talents.”

Ji Wenzhao hurriedly shook his hand, leaned in and said with a smile: “There is that little brother Wen, you can’t just say this casually.”

Gongzi Jiang also laughed. Ji Wenzhao looked at the time and asked: “You are also waiting to see the new emperor. How long should we wait? This is the time for lunch, right?”

Jiang Gongzi’s smile disappeared, and he put on a sad look again, and said to Ji Wenzhao: “Xiuming, we are friends.”

Ji Wenzhao nodded and said: “Of course! We went that way at the beginning, don’t you say it? We will play chess together for the next life in the future.”

Gongzi Jiang’s eyes flashed brightly and said: “Xiu Ming, Xiu Ming, I’m in trouble…”

Ji Wenzhao immediately became serious: “What happened to you? That’s why the new emperor wants to see you. Tell me, and see if I can give you an idea.”

Gongzi Jiang nodded and swallowed, “You will definitely be my friend”

Ji Wenzhao said: “Of course! Don’t worry, as long as it’s not illegal or mourning, I will definitely help you!”

Young Master Jiang nodded, plucked up the courage, and said, “Let’s eat first!”

Ji Wenzhao said hurriedly, “How can it be done! I still have to see the new emperor…” But when he said halfway, he stopped suddenly and looked straight at Young Master Jiang. Young Master Jiang also looked at him.

Gongzi Jiang passed on black casual clothes, not to mention the exquisite materials, and moiré embroidered with black silk threads on the placket, Jiang Gongzi dressed elegant and solemn and solemn… How could he only wear casual clothes before seeing the emperor?

Ji Wenzhao stood up slowly, but the new emperor also stood up, frowning and said: “Xiuming! Help me! I was forced to take the upper hand! I don’t want to be the emperor. To be honest, I don’t know what to do. How can I be different from them! Xiu Ming! Help me! Don’t let me be a scourge!”

Ji Wenzhao looked at the new emperor in astonishment. The new emperor nodded firmly and said, “Really! Xiu Ming! I can’t be emperor! Really can’t!” He pointed to his chest, “Here, there is a monster. If I sit on the emperor, In fact, it will wake up and turn me into a demon, a demon who will not let go of its own children! Xiu Ming! Help me!” Tears were dripping in the new emperor’s eyes: “Xiu Ming! Are you still my friend? !”

Ji Wenzhao choked, finally said: “I am!”

The new emperor nodded and said to Ji Wenzhao: “Okay, Xiu Ming, then come and help me! I later recalled many times when we went north, and understood the truth: if people want to get things done, they must have a team. We must have a common goal, be united, and be kind to our colleagues. Look at what we have heard and seen in the northbound journey, and we know that the country needs to change. Otherwise, when natural disasters and man-made disasters, the government will be powerless and the people will be displaced. It is not foreigners who enter in danger. It means that the country is destroyed by civil chaos. Since ancient times, it has happened repeatedly and has become a rule. Those rich and powerful, but do not pay taxes to enrich the country. Those officials do not use their talents to promote the promotion of horses. Those officials and businessmen collude and profit the people. Those officials are fierce. Because of bandits, they are rampant in the countryside. Good officials are not rewarded, and good people are not protected… If we can change our course, rule the country according to law, and let the people have the power to supervise the officials, maybe we can stabilize the country and make the country prosperous, but these words I can’t even say…”

Ji Wenzhao said: “It is, the prince of a country, do not speak arrogantly. Once the imperial power is shaken, someone will take the opportunity to cause chaos.”

The new emperor sighed: “A bad one will cause chaos in the world. I can’t just talk about restructuring…” He looked at Ji Wenzhao: “But you can. You are brilliant and resourceful. Will you go with me again? This is not easy…”

Ji Wenzhao saluted the new emperor and solemnly said: “I swear by Ji Wenzhao, I will follow your majesty and help you succeed!”

The new emperor was relieved and said: “Great! Xiu Ming, let’s eat first, and then I will tell you the latest things…”

When the meal came up, two people ate. The new emperor will control most of the courtiers in the Chaozhong Lu family, some people have assassinated the three princes, and he has no key position, and he can’t even give his will. In the end, he is a little embarrassed. Said: “Also, you said, you want to help me marry Lady Su…”

Ji Wenzhao slowly nodded and said: “If the assassination of the third prince was done by Lu’s side, they would have underestimated you. That’s good, you can’t move them right now. Before the liquidation, you must first stabilize them to prevent them from changing. .”

The new emperor nodded and said, “I gave the Lv County magistrate a three-level promotion in a row, which is a signal to the Lu family.”

Ji Wenzhao agreed: “Well, the problem now is to get the support of the courtiers first. I will go back to my mentor and have a good talk with him. As for Mrs. Su’s affairs…” He came from the border and kept a clear eye on new things. Why did the emperor declare that he had entered the palace? I didn’t hear anything about the new emperor’s parents, so I was thinking about it now. The new emperor waited patiently without urging. After thinking for a while, Ji Wenzhao said: “Release the wind, we must investigate the case of Su Changting that year.”

The new emperor nodded, and said with some worry: “That was all ten years ago.”

Ji Wenzhao said: “At the beginning, I went to investigate this matter. Although the main people are dead, there are still their relatives who can give confessions. Besides, there may be evidence on Su Niangzi.

The new emperor nodded again and said, “I will let people ask.”

Ji Wenzhao said: “You don’t want to export, let others come forward.”

The new emperor felt that Ji Wenzhao was his soul mate, and then nodded and said, “I understand.”

Ji Wenzhao took Ji Yan home the next day. He met Yan Jing and said that he had decided to assist the new emperor.

Originally, the official Yan returned to Beijing, and the second official Yan returned from the border. Everyone reported the matter to Yan Jing. Yan Jing felt that the important matter had been decided. It turned out that the four princes who had no background and strength ascended the throne. He needed to observe for a period of time to see if the emperor was as narrow-minded as the first emperor or the prince. If so, he had to be well concealed and not let the other party know that he had mixed up those things. If the other party is lenient, then don’t worry too much, because you are getting older, and you can feel at ease in the academy from now on.

Now Ji Wenzhao came back and told him that the new emperor had a vision and wanted to govern the country well. Ji Wenzhao did not dare to say such things as restructuring, fearing that Yan Jingzheng would not agree with the new emperor. Yan Jing heard that the new emperor had written strategies for the three princes, so people found those words and read them, thinking that the new emperor Ruzi was teachable, but he didn’t know that it was the second time that he had given this title to the same person.

Soon, Ji Wenzhao was recommended by Yan Jing to join the dynasty. The new emperor met with Ji Wenzhao and wanted to give him official titles on the grounds that Yan Jing had re-used the former emperor. Ji Wenzhao politely thanked him, but said he was willing to take the post of county magistrate. The new emperor is allowed. Ji Wenzhao visited a circle of people in the capital, including Zhenbeihou Mansion, and then left the capital to take office.

Yan Jingzhi’s new and old students gave birth to his subordinates, who became the arms of the new emperor overnight.

Ye Zhongshu said bluntly: “The person who can fight against the Lu family is the old man.” He said to his son Ye Shilang: “The new emperor will definitely rely on Ji Wenzhao in the future. You only need to do what the new emperor asks you to do. That’s it.”

So Ye Shilang thought he didn’t need to worry too much, but he didn’t know that his suffering just started. Soon after Ji Wenzhao left, someone sent Ye Shilang a whole set of materials about Su Changting’s father Su Changting’s imprisonment, including Su Changting’s blood book.

Ye Shilang knew that this was for him to get ahead, so he spoke up and said that he wanted to investigate the case. The Lu family thought that this was because the Ye family wanted to marry Su Niangzi through the new emperor, so he washed her father’s charge to retaliate against him, so he naturally tried his best. interference. In the end, only the unprovoked false accusation against Su Changting was overturned and his clear name was returned. Only the names of officials mentioned in Su Changting’s blood book were imprisoned. The prince mentioned in it was half crazy and unable to be held accountable. It was obviously behind the command. The head of the Lu family was also unable to file a case due to lack of evidence. But this case also greatly thwarted Lu’s obstruction of the new emperor’s marrying Su Wanniang. All other parties supported the new emperor, and the new emperor wished to marry a beautiful woman.

The Lu family thought that this case was only caused by Ye Shilang for the flattery after the marriage of the new emperor, but after the case, Ye Shilang raised three more cases. The three cases seemed to be small cases: an orphan who lost his parents, the more the government sued the county magistrate, was sentenced to death and sentenced to imprisonment. A woman who lost her heart accused her husband of killing her wife and son for her deceased mistress, but she was accused of false accusation and was beaten to death in the church. One is because of the entanglement in the tea shop business. The old couple passed away one after another. After the son returned to the hometown with his son, he became a monk. It was not their relatives who filed a lawsuit, but a tea shop guy who looked reluctantly…

At the beginning, the conclusion presented by the person who handled the case was repeatedly rejected by Ye Shilang, saying that the person who handled the case was acting for personal gains and demanded a retrial, but the weak new emperor actually agreed one by one. As a result, every case was investigated by seven or eight supervisors. Unable to finalize. In fact, Ye Shilang was also very helpless. Every time he gave the emperor the volume, after the emperor looked through it, he only said: “You will let them check again.” Listen, “you”, not “me”, so Ye Shilang had to go to work again. This early rafter.

The final decisive factor was Sima Yan, who won the top prize in Enke three years later. This man has a lonely face, prominent cheekbones, and a divine light in his eyes. Rumor has it that his family was destroyed by the famine a few years ago. He himself almost starved to death. He was rescued by passers-by when he fled. He was the only one to live. Those who come down can see their lives are hard. He was named the champion by the new emperor because of his sharp writing and advocating the effect of the law. At the Golden Palace, he saw the new emperor, and suddenly burst into tears, and hurriedly called for a long time. He knelt down in the hall and bowed down. He couldn’t afford it for a long time. The new emperor asked him where he wanted to go to perform his duties. He said that the leader of the reforming emperor was looking forward, and the new emperor asked Ye Shilang to suggest an official position. At that time, the three small cases had been delayed for a long time, and Ye Shilang felt that this was a newcomer. Before he established a network among officials, Simayan was used to supervise the case.

Everyone thinks that Sima Yan only knows how to beat horses, because the emperor likes to play chess, and he also recommends himself to go to the palace to play chess with the emperor. However, six months later, the sponsoring official was suspended and Sima Yan took over the three cases. He acted vigorously and rigorously. As a result, the case was closed within one year. The people who tried the case in the past, the officials involved in the case, the godfathers and mothers they identified, the relatives who gave false testimony, and even pledged to commit the crime. The officials and the court officials who concealed them… were all investigated one by one. Several hundred officials lost their black hats. Even the old lady Lu was arrested and imprisoned for lax governance, corruption and bribery, and was finally sentenced to exile. When he was about to start his journey, the emperor thought that he was old and gracious outside the law, and he was sentenced to return to his hometown in solitary confinement. Old lady Lu died shortly after returning to his hometown. Later, people said that he had left words of disrespect to the emperor when he was dying. It’s no wonder that these three cases almost uprooted the Lu family’s official line, and important Lu family courtiers were all implicated in a roundabout way, and the liquidation was very thorough. The Lu family’s glory was no longer and it was never lost.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Ye family squeezed out the Lu family, and he did not have the sole power. Ji Wenzhao entered the court hall five years after the new emperor was enthroned. For another five years, he was promoted to the right. The leaves on the left are the same as the principles of Chaogang.

Ji Wenzhao advocated taking the law as the rope to regulate the behavior of officials and people. He started to reform the official system, sent only judges to handle civil and criminal cases, separated from officials; popularized the idea of ​​rule of law to the people, opened office schools, accepted children for free, and had law lessons from an early age. The Royal College was changed to the Royal School of Law…

These deviant things have been resisted by many parties. On several occasions, many courtiers demanded the removal of Ji Wenzhao, but even if they stopped the court or surrendered, Ji Wenzhao had to resign. However, after a year or a half, there was naturally a fellow of the Ji family who came out of Yan’s Academy, who asked Ji Wenzhao to reinstate his position on the grounds that Ji Wenzhao’s talents were excellent and should not be wasted. Even Ji Wenzhao’s opponent Ye Xiang also pleaded for him. In the end, the emperor always gave Ji Wenzhao back to the throne for reasons such as heavy state affairs…

After Ye Xiang retired, Ji Wenzhao led the prime minister for fifteen years. He had several ups and downs. He was an official for nearly 40 years and was worshipped as the prince and Tai Fu. When the court officials congratulated him, Ji Wenzhao was rarely moved and smiled with tears. No one knew that he remembered that so many years ago, Miss Shen Er was drunk and made kung fu, and he had a glimpse of the future… At that time, he was still young. , The scheming Emperor Wen is still a young man who is not as weak as the crown.

When Ji Wenzhao seemed to cover the sky with one hand, he resigned from his position and turned to become the dean of the Royal Law School. Throughout his life, he continued the reform of the rule of law, and finally made the court independent from the court…

One day when he was eighty-four years old, Ji Wenzhao, who was seriously ill in bed, struggling to open his eyes and saw the emperor with white hair sitting in front of his bed with tears on his face.

Ji Wenzhao smiled hard and murmured: “The emperor, have we done it?”

He has cooperated with the emperor for so many years. One of the two charged into the battle, and the other pacified the parties. Fifty years later, although a constitutional monarchy has not yet been established, people have begun to judge right or wrong according to the law, and the power of officials has been greatly reduced. .

Emperor Wen nodded and said, “Xiu Ming, it’s done, thank you…”

Ji Wenzhao sighed: “You are always so polite… We… are friends… I’m old… Come, before I go, we will play another chess game… Otherwise, I don’t know when we can…” he said As he spoke, he calmly closed his eyes, and the emperor was in shock for a while, sobbing…
