Chapter 1500: The Ministry of Justice is a Natural Scapegoat

After the matter was clarified and the plan was set, Xie Changling led the officials to the Taiji Palace to meet Emperor Jian Shi.

Emperor Jian Shi had just finished taking an elixir, and his spirit was very good at this moment.

It's just that a burst of anger had nowhere to vent.

He was wearing a Daoist robe, with his chest and abdomen exposed, walking back and forth in the main hall with bare feet, appearing extremely irritable. He looked like he was ready to kill at any time.

The great eunuch Wang Defa served on the side and whispered to soothe: "Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine Jing sent a message, saying that the little prince moved, moved several times."

The child in the belly moved!

Emperor Jian Shi's expression changed, his emotions seemed to stabilize, and he showed a smile, "Really? My little prince moved?"

"Yes! Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!" Wang Defa looked like he was honored, and his face was almost laughing.

"Imperial Concubine Jing understands me. She is pregnant and her body is inconvenient, tell her to rest well, don't overwork. When I finish my work, I will go to see her."

"No!"

Wang Defa looked very happy.

Imperial Concubine Jing is still powerful.

No need to show up, just mentioning Imperial Concubine Jing can soothe the irritable Majesty.

The little yellow gate reported that the ministers of the Government Affairs Hall requested an audience.

"Proclaim!"

Xie Changling led a group of officials into the main hall and bowed in unison.

"Exempt from courtesy! Take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Regarding today's matter, I am extremely disappointed in all the ministers!" Emperor Jian Shi looked angry and walked back and forth in the main hall. While walking, he scolded the ministers.

"Such a big loophole, an insane murderer, mixed into the official team, mixed into the court. For so many years, no one discovered it. What are you all doing? I have to suspect that you are all people who occupy positions but don't do things. I will ask one sentence, can I still trust you?"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger, your ministers are guilty!"

"Just pleading guilty is useless! For so many years, has there been any improvement? Xie Xiang, you are the head of all officials, you say!"

Emperor Jian Shi pointed out directly, too lazy to argue with the ministers.

At this moment, his anger was hard to dissipate, if it weren't for the important ministers who were loyal to the country, he really wanted to draw his sword and kill.

Xie Changling bowed slightly, "Reporting to Your Majesty, your ministers failed to discover this villain in the first time, this is a great crime. Your ministers have already started to try their best to remedy it.

The reason why this villain was able to impersonate Dou Anzhi and not be exposed for many years is only because, firstly, he looks like Dou Anzhi, and secondly, he is Dou Anzhi's book boy, literate, and understands every move and living habit of Dou Anzhi. Plus the Dou family passed away one after another, and he observed mourning for two years, everyone didn't know much about him, so he was able to muddle through.

Of course, this minister said these things not to shirk responsibility, but to find loopholes and prevent them before they happen. To prevent similar replacement incidents from happening again in the future."

"What loophole? May I ask Xie Xiang, what exactly is the loophole?" Emperor Jian Shi questioned with bad intentions.

Xie Changling pondered for a while, and then said: "When the Ministry of Personnel examines officials, it should be more thoughtful and detailed, and all kinds of details must be recorded in the file to facilitate verification!"

The Minister of Personnel frowned, but didn't make a sound, just looked at Xie Changling performing expressionlessly.

"Does only the Ministry of Personnel need improvement? Does the Household Department need improvement, does the Ministry of Rites need improvement? And does the Ministry of Justice need improvement?"

Sun Daoning looked confused, what does this matter have to do with the Ministry of Justice. Before the criminal Qiu Gui was discovered impersonating Dou Anzhi, he didn't belong to the Ministry of Justice. Is the Emperor confused, or is he venting his anger?

He had a bad premonition in his heart.

Emperor Jian Shi opened his mouth and questioned, "The whole Dou family died, leaving only an orphan girl alive, such an abnormal thing, why didn't the Ministry of Justice discover it early?"

This...

Sun Daoning had a cold sweat, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the local government did not receive a report, and just regarded it as an accidental death."

Without a report, how could the Ministry of Justice intervene in the investigation at will.

Do you really think everyone is Chen Guanlou, who likes to care about idle affairs?

The government office has the rules of handling affairs, how can it be messed up.

The Emperor is also confused!

He could only think about these words in his heart, he didn't dare to say them, for fear of being issued an imperial edict by the Emperor, directly dismissed, imprisoned, and exiled in a three-piece set.

Life-threatening!

"Without a report, don't you have eyes and ears. Such an obviously abnormal death, as long as it is a person, should think about whether there is a problem here."

Emperor Jian Shi was furious, only caring about venting, completely ignoring the facts.

What can Sun Daoning do, he can only bow and plead guilty.

Emperor Jian Shi scolded fiercely, not giving the Ministry of Justice any face.

Sun Daoning listened silently, and suddenly recalled the sassy words Chen Guanlou had said: The Ministry of Justice is a foot-washing maid, the weakest government office among the six ministries, anyone can bully it.

At this moment, he was incomparably sad.

Yes!

The Ministry of Justice is a foot-washing maid.

He is the dignified Minister of Justice, this matter has nothing to do with him, but he became a scapegoat, enduring the fierce scolding and humiliation that he shouldn't have endured!

Too bullying!

But he couldn't resist, couldn't argue, and couldn't fight for reason.

Saying that the Ministry of Justice is a foot-washing maid.

Emperor Jian Shi scolded for a while, and his anger dissipated a little.

"How did Zhang Yushi Liu know the inside story of this matter? And it made a big noise, and the storybook has been sold all over the world?" Emperor Jian Shi's anger dissipated, and his IQ went online.

Zhang Yushi Liu jumped out to impeach, the storybook spread, this matter doesn't look normal at first glance.

He also read the storybook, no matter how he looked at it, he wouldn't associate it with a certain official in the court.

How did Zhang Yushi Liu discover the secret in it.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is Zhang Yushi Liu's confession! Before, someone threw a stack of investigation reports into his courtyard, regarding a missing person case, and the investigation of the Dou family's whole family death. He combined the storybook and finally discovered the secret in it."

"You mean, someone deliberately guided Zhang Yushi Liu to impeach that person?" Emperor Jian Shi frowned.

"Qiu Gui! The book boy of Dou Anzhi is named Qiu Gui, a farmer's son, poor family, voluntarily sold himself as a slave, and studied and read with Dou Anzhi." Sun Daoning reminded actively.

Xie Changling nodded, "Someone must have deliberately guided it, the purpose is to reveal the truth of this matter and seek justice for the Dou family."

"I remember, the Dou family still has an orphan girl?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Dou family does have an orphan girl. The orphan girl is trapped in the inner house, this matter is definitely not something a little girl can do. I guess she found foreign aid."

Sun Daoning was sweating profusely.

Among the people present, only he knew the truth. Chen Guanlou was that foreign aid.

The damned Chen Guanlou, poked through the sky.

Emperor Jian Shi laughed coldly, "Find this foreign aid. Investigate the Dou family's case clearly, and anyone involved in the case will not be left behind. Ministry of Personnel, Household Department, investigate fiercely. Especially the Ministry of Personnel, if something similar happens again, bring your head to see me!"

"No!"

The Minister of Personnel hurriedly bowed and responded, for fear that if he was late, Emperor Jian Shi would behead him on the spot.

Sun Daoning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, luckily passing the pass.
