Chapter 186 "Take it down."
Emperor Zhengcang slowly sat back on the dragon chair and leaned on the back of the chair.
He waved casually to the audience and said lightly.
The look on Wang Ning's face when he saw Dou Ba made all the courtiers present not understand.
At this time, Wang Ning may have thought that he had no chance to escape the crime, or maybe he was frightened after seeing the angry eyes of the resurrected Dou Ba, and actually slumped on the ground stupidly.
He allowed the two guards with swords beside him to drag him down without any struggle.
"Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."
Emperor Zhengcang said when he saw that the court had returned to its previous peaceful appearance.
"I'm here."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenguang, the Minister of Punishment, immediately stepped forward and bowed in response.
"In your opinion, how should this case be handled?"
Emperor Zhengcang asked.
"Back to the emperor, according to the laws of our dynasty, all crimes committed by civil and military officials of fourth rank or above will be first handed over to the Dali Temple for trial, and then submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review.
The Ministry of Punishment will then draft the conviction and punishment and submit a report to the emperor for approval."
Li Chenguang was present.
He said clearly.
Emperor Zhengcang nodded, but looked at Zuo Chi and said: "Master Xiao Zuo, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Zuo Chi faced Emperor Zhengcang and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr.
Li said is reasonable and legal, and Wei Chen has no objection.
However, Wei Chen has a heartless request, and I hope the Emperor will grant it."
"Oh, General, General, look at your son, what he sang in this great meeting today is not enough, he has to make demands from me, and you don't care."
Emperor Zhengcang saw Wang Ning.
Already surrendered.
Zuo Chi's next request was probably for Dou Ba, who had been wronged and almost killed, so he leisurely said to Zuo Yuanfeng again.
Zuo Yuanfeng also raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this son of mine has always behaved arbitrarily, how can I control him?"
"Haha, that's true.
No one in this capital knows the reputation of Mr.
Xiaozuo.
Anyway, Mr.
Xiaozuo, if you have any other requests, just say it.
I will grant it."
Emperor Zhengcang said with a smile after hearing this. really.
Zuo Chi opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, although it is true that Dou Ba robbed the disaster relief money and food, everyone now knows that Dou Ba did this for the people affected by the disaster in the north.
Instead of seeking his own selfish interests, he did not want to almost die, suffer unjust injustice, and almost suffer The people of the world reviled him, and even the people of later generations still reviled and commented on him."
"That's all, I know.
Now that I know the whole story, how can I still sit back and ignore Dou Ba's orders?"
Seeing what Zuo Chi said, Emperor Zhengcang waved his hand and said to Dou Ba.
"The common people are here."
Upon hearing this, Dou Ba immediately kowtowed down in fright and leaned forward to listen to the order.
"Although Dou Ba fell into the trap and became a bandit, he still has a heart of compassion for the common people.
I am very relieved.
The robbery of disaster relief money and food has been verified and it was indeed framed by Wang Ning, a former lieutenant and now a general in the north.
He is guilty.
I am human I will never tolerate it, and I will never treat those who have meritorious service unfairly.
From now on, I will restore Dou Ba’s innocent name, and tell the world about Dou Ba’s righteous deeds, and live up to the justice of the world."

Emperor Zhengcang put his hands behind his back.
He raised his head and said seriously.
When Dou Ba heard this, he bowed his head and didn't speak for a long time.
However, he was trembling slightly, and he vaguely seemed to hear a low sob.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang and all the ministers at court remained silent and allowed Dou Ba to calm down.
No one spoke up, and no one came forward to accuse Dou Ba of being rude.
The official from the Ministry of Rites who had previously accused Dou Ba of being rude and bold could not help but feel even more uneasy.
How could he have known that Dou Ba was wrongly accused by Wang Ning?
"Dou Ba, you should be happy now."
Seeing this, Zuo Yuanfeng walked over and gently patted Dou Ba on the shoulder, comforting him.
"Common people, thank you, Your Majesty."
Dou Ba kowtowed three times when he heard this, his tone was like the emotions surging in his heart, and he was unsteady and a little choked. two years Finally, I can stand upright in front of the world.
Everything I suffered before has finally come to an end today.
"Well, there is a moment of iron-hearted tenderness for a tough man.
It's really sad to think about the injustice you have suffered in the past two years.
Anyway, I will give you a hundred taels of gold and a thousand taels of silver.
Don't be that green forest bandit after you go back. , buy some real estate and land, and live a stable life," Emperor Zhengcang said.
Dou Ba immediately kowtowed three times and thanked him loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward.
The common people will certainly live up to Your Majesty's love and care."
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking that the case raised by Zuo Chi at the court meeting had been solved, he still had this other thing on his mind, so he said: "In that case, you should step aside first and go back after receiving the reward when the court meeting is over."
Because Zuo Chi had Dou Ba with him, he did not return to the original team, but stood a little further back in the civil service team.
Zuo Yuanfeng, because he had the highest official position among the generals, went straight to the top position among the generals.
When Emperor Zhengcang saw that everyone in the audience had taken their seats, he said: "My lords, I have one more thing to discuss with you today."
After saying that, Emperor Zhengcang stood up and walked to the edge of the high platform.
His eyes slowly swept over the civil and military officials on the stage, and he said: "Since my reign, the four borders have been safe and sound.
But now, the Hui Qiang clan appears frequently at the northern border.
What exactly do they want?
If you have any opinions, please let me know."
As soon as Emperor Zhengcang finished speaking, the civil and military officials on the stage began to discuss in whispers, but they all looked embarrassed and confused.
For a while, no official stood up to speak.
"General, you are going to inspect the northern territory this time.
In order to deter the Hui Qiang people, you must also have your own judgment."
Seeing that none of the ministers in the audience answered, Emperor Zhengcang turned to look at the general standing there.
Zuo Yuanfeng, the general of Zhenguo at the front, said.
Zuo Yuanfeng heard the sound and just stood there with his hands raised and said: "Back to the emperor, I immediately sent people to the northern border after getting the news.
I did get some news recently.
I can only confirm that the Hui Qiang appeared at our northern border this time.
There are only a thousand people, and they will not attack us.
What's the harm?"
Emperor Zhengcang nodded after hearing this and thought for a moment before saying: "In this case, I can't help but be more curious about the reason for the Qiang's activities on the northern border this time.
As the general said, there are only a thousand people returning to the Qiang, and they really can't do much.
Anyway, since you are not willing to say it, then Just wait and see what happens.”
After saying that, Emperor Zhengcang seemed to have something in mind and added: "As long as the Hui Qiang people still stay at the northern border, the days to come will not be peaceful.
You must keep your eyes open for me and don't cause any trouble."

"yes" The ministers' expressions tightened and they immediately bowed in response.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengcang waved his hands and said: "That's all, it's getting late.
The meeting will be here today.
You can go down."
After hearing this, the ministers wanted to bow again, but unexpectedly, a familiar yet slightly cold voice suddenly came out and said: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do
