The confession recorder handed the confession after the painting to Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian glanced at it and handed it to Liao Yan, Liao Yan looked at it, nodded and said, "The case can be closed." ” Zhang Qian picked up the shocked wood and patted it, and said loudly: "This case has been strictly tried by this official, and it has been verified that the Protocol House has wronged Zhen Jian, and he has been acquitted and reinstated; Jia Zheng, the Qing of Honglu Temple, falsely accused his subordinates, insulted the reputation of foreign guests, seriously derelicted his duties, and was dismissed and investigated!
” Zhang Qian was shocked when he heard this, although he had a bad premonition before, he didn't expect that the punishment would be so heavy, he thought that at most it would be a temporary suspension or demotion, but he didn't expect to be directly dismissed and investigated.
It's nothing to be dismissed, it's not okay to investigate, how can their group of corrupt officials stand up to investigation, and if they can't pull out countless crimes, then they will never be able to turn over.
After Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly shouted: "Xiangye, Xiangye, save the lower official, ask the emperor for the lower official, the lower official begs you......"
After saying that, he kowtowed to Qin Huan, his forehead touched the ground, and there was a sound of "tuk tuk".
"Jia Siqing, don't be like this."
Qin Huan looked embarrassed, sighed, "How can you do such a thing, do you know, the emperor is in the back hall to hear the trial, the emperor learned that you falsely accused Zhen Jian, so angry that he wrote down four words and left, what the emperor left behind is the four words of dismissal and investigation, how do you let the old man intercede for you." ” "It's ......
What does the emperor mean?
Jia Zheng was stunned when he heard this.
Zhang Qian drank coldly: "Come on, put Jia Zheng in prison." ” Liao Yan said: "Unlock it for Zhen Jian, take Zhen Jian's official uniform." ” A group of officials stepped forward to escort Jia Zheng away, Jia Zheng did not resist, nor did he shout, looking stupid, one of the officials stepped forward with a key and opened the handcuffs and shackles for Zhen Jian, and another official held Zhen Jian's official uniform and handed the official uniform to Zhen Jian with both hands.
Zhen Jian took the official uniform with a smile, looked at Zhang Qian and Liao Yan with a smile, and said: "Lord Zhang and Lord Liao are really fair and honest, thank you two adults for clearing up the grievances of the lower officials, I don't know if I can borrow the back hall for a use, the lower officials want to change their clothes." ” Liao Yan spread his hands and said, "Please take care of yourself." ” "Thank you."
Zhen Jian smiled lightly and thanked him, walked to the back hall, and smiled at him when he passed by Qin Huan's side, Qin Huan rolled his eyes angrily, got up and left.
After a while, Zhen Jian changed into his official uniform and came out, and it was inconvenient for him to have a good relationship with Zhang Qian and Liao Yan, so he said goodbye directly and went back to the protocol, just as the princess and the Duke of Wales were also going back to the protocol, and the three of them went back together on the same road, Zhen Jian and Elizabeth talked and laughed on the way, and they were in a very good mood.
Next, the Inspectorate conducted a strict investigation of Jia Zheng in all aspects, this investigation, and indeed found out that Jia Zheng had a lot of evidence of corruption and perversion of the law, his real estate, land, antiques, calligraphy and painting, gold and silver, etc., added up to about 700,000 yuan, Liao Yan reported the results of the investigation to the emperor, and the emperor was furious when he learned about it, and sentenced Jia Zhengliu to be assigned to the army and confiscate all family property.
Qin Huan was worried about Jia Zheng's bite, so he personally went to visit Jia Zheng in prison and promised to take care of the family for him.
The case was finally over, and the emperor also met with Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales, and on the Lynde Palace, more than a dozen ministers stood on both sides, and there were only four people sitting, the emperor, Qin Huan, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales.
The throne was given in front of the emperor, this is Longen, Qin Huan was favored by the emperor, and he always sat in the Linde Hall to discuss with the emperor.
Receiving foreign envoys seems to be very tall, but in fact it is similar to ordinary guests, but the scene is slightly larger, the speech is more polite, and the content of the conversation is also a little bigger, but the chat, it will not be a big thing as soon as it comes up, it must be gradual, the emperor and Princess Elizabeth negotiated, naturally starting with the local customs of Dachu.
Elizabeth vigorously exaggerated that Chu is a good place, outstanding people, and when it comes to outstanding people, she naturally mentioned Zhen Jian, anyway, she just wants to pull the topic on Zhen Jian, and take the opportunity to praise Zhen Jian in front of the emperor and all the ministers.
Wales also spoke a few words occasionally, and Elizabeth translated for him.
Hearing Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales praising Zhen Jian vigorously, the emperor smiled happily: "I am really discerning, I have always valued Zhen Jian, he is a young man with ambition and ability, he has made great contributions to the country, this time he was falsely accused, spent a day in prison, and was beaten for no reason, he was really wronged, I plan to promote him to appease, but also to let his talents be better displayed." ” Elizabeth smiled and nodded: "The emperor of Great Chu, like my father, is a very holy monarch. ” "Hahaha......"
The emperor laughed heartily when he heard this, alas, he was usually patted by the group of ministers, and occasionally listened to the horses patted by foreign envoys, and felt that the taste was particularly fragrant, not to mention that it was such a beautiful princess's fart, and the mood was called a comfortable one.
So on a whim, he opened his mouth and said: "Honglu Temple Qing Jia Zheng falsely accused his colleagues, dereliction of duty, corruption and perversion of the law, has been dismissed and severely punished, and now the position of Honglu Temple Qing is vacant, I think, let Zhen Jian be the Honglu Temple Secretary." ” Hearing this, Ding Quan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I can't help it, Honglu Siqing is a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, and Zhen Jian is just a seventh-grade official at the moment, and there is a difference of six grades between them, so it is really inappropriate to be promoted like this." ” "Isn't it appropriate?"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately frowned, looked at Qin Feng, the secretary of the ministry, and asked, "Qin Feng, what do you think?"
” Qin Feng arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the officials of the ministers are assessed and promoted, although Zhen Jian has a merit in receiving the princess of England this time, but this merit is not so good that he will be promoted to six levels in a row, which is really out of line." ” "Really?"
The emperor's face suddenly gloomy when he heard this, and it could be seen that he was very unhappy now, and it could even be said that he was angry.
Of course he was angry, he boasted in front of Princess Elizabeth that he was going to be promoted to Zhen Jian's position, and now these guys are pulling him back one by one, he is the emperor, don't you want to lose face, can he not be angry.
Usually this group of ministers chatter, but now in front of foreign envoys, he can make up a picture in his head, after Elizabeth returned to England, the king of England asked Elizabeth: "Xiaobai, did you go to Chu to see the emperor, does the emperor of Great Chu have the majesty of this king?"
” Then Elizabeth said to his father, "That emperor of Dachu is really a wretch, and if he wants to promote a person, he has to look at the faces of the group of officials under him......"
The more the emperor thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly his face turned cold, and he said, "I said that I want to promote Zhen Jian as the secretary of Honglu Temple!"
” The ministers were stunned for a while when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, the emperor is crazy?
Qin Huan, who had been silent, rolled his eyes when he saw this, and after a while, he slowly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a suggestion. ” The emperor said, "Speak!
” Qin Huan said: "Zhen Jian is only seventeen years old this year, he is too young, and he has just entered the officialdom for less than three months, and he was suddenly promoted to Honglu Siqing, which is really a bit abrupt, it is better for His Majesty to crown him as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and let him temporarily take charge of Honglu Siqing's government affairs before the new Honglu Siqing is hired, what does the emperor think?"
” The emperor was in a much better mood when he heard this, and finally met someone who could talk, in fact, Qin Huan had been by the emperor's side for so many years, watching the emperor grow up, he knew the emperor's temperament best, the emperor was not a Ming Jun, and he couldn't listen to the words of the ear, just like a cat, he had to follow the hair, otherwise he would be easily provoked.
His current proposal is equivalent to him taking ninety-nine steps back, the emperor taking a step back, saving face for the emperor, and Zhen Jian will not sit in the position of the fourth grade at once, once the rank of the official is promoted, as long as he does not make mistakes, it will be difficult to come down, this is what the ministers are most worried about, and Honglu Siqing is not an important position in power, so they don't care who will be in charge.
The emperor put away the anger on his face and nodded: "Well, this proposal is okay, what do you think?"
” The ministers gave up their hands one after another: "The ministers seconded the proposal!"
” The emperor said: "Okay, Qin Feng, after you go back, hurry up and draft the documents, and propose Zhen Jian as the Shaoqing of Wupin Honglu Temple, and let Zhen Jian take office as soon as possible." ” "Yes!"
Qin Feng gave up his hand.
Now the emperor was relieved.
The negotiation continued, and the next thing was to talk about the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the princess said that they had brought a lot of things from England this time, some good things had been sent to the palace as gifts, and some other things wanted to be sold locally, and they also wanted to carry out sea trade, and Da Chu carried out ocean trade.
The emperor didn't have much interest in this, after all, it took too much money to recruit a large fleet, and the treasury was tight, so he said a few perfunctory words, and Elizabeth also saw that the emperor seemed to be perfunctory, so she didn't say anything more about it, and talked about other things.
The Emperor then invited Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales to a banquet with her courtiers, and after a state banquet, Elizabeth and the Duke of Wales returned to the House of Residence.
Two days later, Zhen Jian went to Honglu Temple to serve as Shaoqing, because the Inspectorate had just investigated Jia Zheng before, and all the bad debts were turned over, so there was no accounting problem, and Zhen Jian was also relaxed.
Soon, Elizabeth was ready to return to China, Zhen Jian heard the news, and suddenly felt empty in his heart, probably because he had a relationship with Elizabeth, so he subconsciously regarded Elizabeth as his own woman, and now that his woman was leaving, he naturally couldn't be happy.

On October 15, Zhen Jian personally led a team to send the English envoy out of the city, and the team stopped outside the city, Zhen Jian and Elizabeth looked at each other affectionately, and their hearts became more and more reluctant.
"I'm leaving."
Elizabeth spoke softly, and tears fell like beads of broken thread.
Zhen Jian raised his hand to wipe her tears, forced out a smile, and said, "Don't cry, it's not beautiful if you cry." ” Elizabeth grabbed his hand and asked, "You'll remember me, right?"
” "Of course, I will always remember you and the beautiful princess."
"Can we meet again?"
Zhen Jian nodded vigorously: "Yes, when I solve important matters on Da Chu's side, I will lead the fleet to England to meet you." ” "Don't keep me waiting too long."
Elizabeth said, "If I wait too long, I will be old and not beautiful." ” "No, it won't."
Zhen Jian was smiling on his face, but his heart was very painful, he kissed her lightly on the forehead, and said, "You will always be so beautiful in my heart." ” ……………………………………………………………… There is a feast in the world, Elizabeth is the only child of the king of England, she must go back to inherit the throne, and since Zhen Jian does not want to go to England, then they can only separate, the world is so helpless.
Watching the envoy group of England disappear from view, Zhen Jian looked extremely lonely.
Suddenly, a fast horse came in the distance, and there was a command flag behind it, which was a post officer, the messenger of the imperial court, three order flags were the most urgent, two flags were second, and one order flag was the most ordinary.
Since it was not an urgent report, the post official dismounted at the gate of the city, saw Zhen Jian wearing an official uniform, and hurriedly saluted: "Meet this lord." ” "Well, excuse me."
Zhen Jian waved his hand and asked casually, "Where did you come from?"
” "Huizhou."
The postman saw the number of Honglu Temple behind him, and said, "The report from the southwest is that the prince of Jiaozhi led the envoy group towards the capital, and now he has arrived in Shinshu." ” "Another foreign envoy is visiting?"
Zhen Jian was stunned when he heard this, and secretly wondered in his heart, "Why did I suddenly increase the number of foreign envoys as soon as I arrived at Honglu Temple?"
”
