Chapter 691： Suspension for investigation

Chapter 691 Suspension and Investigation

Similarly, other officials also hold this idea.

For a time, the hall fell into an eerie silence.

But soon, Yushi Wen stepped out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with your Lord Wang's proposal.

“As we all know, there are some conflicts between General Li’s family and Mr. Wang’s family, which caused an uproar in Kyoto.

“Now that General Li is handed over to the Dali Temple where Mr. Wang belongs, there is no guarantee that Mr. Wang will be suspected of avenging private revenge.”

Wang Zechen snorted coldly and said hurriedly: "Yushi Wen, you get along very well with the Li family, and it is well known that you are protecting Li Qiusheng in this way. Doesn't it mean that you are also suspected of covering up?"

Wen Yushi smiled and said: "So, just to avoid suspicion, I didn't say that Li Qiusheng was innocent. Everything had to wait until the investigation.

"Although I dare to guarantee with my head that General Li is not guilty, I also believe that the emperor will deal with it impartially and will not let some villains succeed!"

“You…” Wang Zechen still wanted to refute.

The emperor interrupted their argument and turned to ask Marquis Xinting, "This incident happened in the Northern Expedition Army. Although Aiqing sent the confessions of the soldiers in the army, it seems that it is difficult to convince the public now. Aiqing, how should we deal with this matter?"

Hearing this, the ministers secretly looked at Xintinghou, envious that the emperor had such trust in him.

The Marquis of Xinting thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Li Qiusheng did nothing wrong, but the Chen family is suspicious. Logically speaking, it is okay to investigate, but it is not necessary to arrest Li Qiusheng and put him in jail.

"If he is imprisoned, I am afraid that the entire Xindu people will think that Li Qiusheng's crime has been confirmed. It would be detrimental to the Li family!"

“I suggest that Li Qiusheng be suspended from his duties and think about his mistakes behind closed doors. The emperor will send another person to investigate until the truth comes to light, and then reinstate Li Qiusheng’s official position.”

The emperor nodded, and the ministers also felt that this treatment was reasonable.

Chen Chuan was dissatisfied!

His son is dead, but the murderer can enjoy the blessings at home, eating well and waiting for the New Year? !

When he took two steps on his knees and was about to cry, Marquis Xinting spoke again.

"Your Majesty, the new recruits have been in the camp for a long time, and now they are beginning to look like elite soldiers. I suggest that we take a three-day holiday and let the new recruits go home to visit their relatives to comfort the elders at home."

The emperor immediately said: "Precisely! During the Chinese New Year, we must beware of the barbarians from Jiangbei causing trouble. It is not easy to take a holiday. Now is the right time!"

The ministers seemed unable to believe it and stared at Xintinghou. They did not expect that he would take the initiative to give the recruits a holiday!

Thinking of the nagging of the old people at home, and the wives and concubines who wiped away tears from time to time, all the officials were happy and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude.

“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!”

For a time, the Qiankun Palace was completely boiling, because this grace was extremely lively.

Chen Chuan and the gloomy-looking Wang Zechen were caught in the middle of the crowd. Even if they wanted to insist on arresting Li Qiusheng, they couldn't.

Hinting Hou used three days of vacation to easily break the neutrality of the ministers!

The emperor smiled when he saw that the ministers were happy, and directly ordered the Ministry of War to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of Chen He's death.

The Minister of War accepted the mission, and there was no embarrassment in his expression.

Chen Chuan gritted his teeth in hatred.

He is not a fool. It is obvious that the Ministry of War is not prepared to do its best.

After all, Xintinghou commanded the Northern Expedition Army and was so powerful that the Ministry of War did not dare to offend him easily.

Now that Marquis Xinting clearly wants to protect Li Qiusheng, how could the Ministry of War find out that Li Qiusheng was guilty!

The emperor Xu felt that the matter was settled satisfactorily, and after ordering his retreat, he enthusiastically invited Marquis Xinting.

“I have got a gold birdcage. My dear, would you like to come with me to see it?”

If it were anyone else, he would definitely agree.

But it was the Marquis of Xinting who was invited. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but the new recruits have to take a holiday, and the old soldiers must be upset, so I must rush back to the military camp immediately."

The emperor did not expect to be rejected so simply. He was stunned for a moment and looked a little bad. But he didn’t say anything, waved his hand and returned to the back hall.

The civil and military ministers all turned their heads and walked out. Occasionally, they looked back at Xintinghou. They really didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Marquis Xinting and the Emperor were cousins, and they had accomplished great feats with real swords and spears. Otherwise, if he had been replaced by another person, he would have reported it to the King of Hell.

He actually dared to refuse the emperor's invitation...

But soon, they forgot about this matter and were all anxious to go home to report the good news.

In the past few months, the children at home have suffered in the military camp, and the parents and elders have been worried at home. They also cannot eat or sleep well.

Now, the children are finally coming back. This is simply a greater joy than the Chinese New Year.

Cleaning the house, preparing meals that the children like to eat and new clothes and shoes, everyone is very busy.

As soon as the city gate opened the next day, countless carriages rushed to the riverside military camp.

After waiting to pick up their respective young masters, they ran back to the new capital.

Soon, cries could be heard at the door of every house.

The same is true in Jia’s yard.

Mrs. Jia hugged her grandson without letting go, wiping her tears and looking up and down.

"Grandma's brother Dun, let grandma see quickly, he's lost weight, he's lost weight! Wow, Brother Dun is suffering."

Mrs. Jia's eyes were also red from crying. She grabbed one of her son's hands and did not dare to let go.

I was afraid that as soon as I let go, my son would disappear immediately.

His son has traveled thousands of miles and his mother is worried. What’s more, his son is still enlisting in the army. No one can guarantee when he will fight the barbarians with real swords and guns.

Now that she saw her son standing in front of her, looking darker and stronger, with a simple and honest smile, she finally felt relieved.

Mr. Jia Da and Mr. Jia Er stood aside and it was difficult to come forward.

Mrs. Jia Er advised: "Mom, sister-in-law, it's cold outside, so you should go inside. Brother Dun has three days off, so he has a lot of time to talk."

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Jia both nodded, and quickly took Jia Dun's hand and entered the room.

The maid and her mother-in-law served tea and snacks, which Jia Dun loved to eat.

Baozhu held a box and placed it in front of his brother. He showed off to his brother and said, "Brother, I have made a good friend. I call her Sister Jiayin.

“Sister Jiayin opened a snack shop in the shopping street, and the things she sells are delicious. I like these, and I sent someone to buy them back this morning.

“Brother, try it quickly! If you like it, I’ll ask someone to buy it.”

Jiadun'er patted his sister with his big hand and said with a smile: "Thank you Baozhu, my brother can eat anything. Keep your money for your own use, don't buy anything for your brother."

“When my brother goes out to fight in the future and achieves military success, and earns money, I will save a dowry for you.”

The Jia family were surprised when they heard this, but before they could say anything, Baozhu shouted: "Brother, you used to cheat me out of my money for gambling. You also said that girls will be thrown away in the future, and dowries will be cheap to outsiders." Why is it different now?”

Jia Dun blushed and responded: "Brother was not sensible at that time, so don't argue with me. Now I am different, and I will treat you well in the future."

Mrs. Jia held her grandson's hand and praised her.

“Okay, okay, grandma’s Dungeon has finally figured it out! I was led astray by those gangster friends before, but now I’m sensible.”
