Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 399 What happened seven years ago
Chen Yi nodded, he thought it should be easy.

After all, Shang Lanzhi has only lived in the village for seven years, which is not a long time.

So Chen Yi thought it would be easy, but he didn't expect that Shang Shang Lanzhi's father was no longer in lunge.

It seems that we can only find the files and records.

Just at this moment, a kind of Minister of the Ministry of Time and Punishments who was silent suddenly spoke.

"Where is this Shang person you mentioned? Are you sure he was promoted seven years ago? To the Ministry of Industry?"

Chen Yi nodded, and at the same time told the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice the location of his hometown that Shang Lanzhi mentioned.

Some curiously asked: "Why? Do you have an impression of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Chen Yiman was full of expectations. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was older than the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He must have been an official in the court for more time than the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. At the same time, Chen Yi thought of the character of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the gossip. Shang Shu can really know.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice put away his playful expression, then frowned, and looked at Chen Yi with some confusion.

Finally, he said nervously: "Don't look at me like this. I also think it's possible, but it's not necessarily true. Don't rely on me. Let him go back and investigate this matter, and the records shall prevail."

Chen Yi nodded, expressing his understanding.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at the eyes of seeking knowledge, laughed, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, let me tell you what I know first."

After taking a sip of tea, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice tapped Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry with his chin.

"I remember you were transferred from the local area to the imperial capital, what year was it?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry replied directly: "It was seven years ago, I entered the imperial capital in early spring, it seems to be in the middle of April."

Chen Yi looked at the minister of the Ministry of Industry who was talking about it while recalling, and was a little surprised. It was such a coincidence that it was also seven years ago. Is there something he didn't know about it?

Chen Yi looked at Shangshu Xingbu more intently, and Shangshu Xingbu nodded suddenly.

"That's right, let's talk about why you don't have an impression. That person left the Ministry of Industry a month earlier, even in early March. It is embarrassing to say."

The Minister of Punishment said as he took another sip of tea.

"Seven years ago, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry at that time embezzled the money of the weapons in private, which made the manufactured weapons very brittle and broke when cut, which made the war with Xuanluo country very miserable."

"But the Emperor Xian had already had problems with his body. The failure at the frontier made the Emperor even more furious. He fainted on the spot. The first thing he did when he woke up was to investigate the cause. The Minister of the Ministry is full of private pockets."

Chen Yi frowned when he heard this, this is simply murder!
He could imagine the despair and helplessness of the soldiers who went to the battlefield to kill the enemy when they saw their weapons cut off by the enemy.

"This is simply insane, is he crazy?! Didn't notice it before?"

Chen Yi felt strange. Even though the Ministry of Industry cut corners, the soldiers on the border were always training.

How could it be possible that there was something wrong with the weapon? !

Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded: "This is such a coincidence. At that time, the late emperor felt that the soldiers at the border hadn't changed their weapons for many years, so he wanted to improve the strength of the soldiers, so he deliberately recasted the weapons. When they were transported to the border, it happened that Xuanluo came guilty."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sighed at this point.

"It would be great if there were no such coincidences at that time. According to General Zhao at the border gate at the time, many of the weapons at that time were already in tatters, but the soldiers insisted on changing them when they saw those weapons. Straight to the battlefield."

General Zhao?Is it the General Zhao he knows?
Chen Yi couldn't help asking: "Is it Zhao Zixi, General Zhao?"

"Yes, it's this one. It is said that when he came down from the battlefield, he kowtowed three times directly towards the battlefield, and vowed to stay at the border forever and never leave until he died."

Chen Yi was a little moved. General Zhao felt guilty and blamed himself. He said that General Zhao was old and Deputy General Zhang could already take charge of his own affairs, so why did he stay at the border.

And when he went to wipe out the Xuanluo army, General Zhao was so excited, so it was like this.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was also a little moved, but he didn't speak in silence, picking up his teacup to hide his expression.

"Later, General Zhao directly reported to the first emperor, but many officials from the Ministry of Industry were involved, so in the spring of the second year, many officials from the Ministry of Industry were promoted from the local government."

Chen Yi counted the time, and it was almost the same. Xuanluo Kingdom usually came to commit crimes at the end of the year, robbing things for the winter.

"One of them was the left servant of the Ministry of Industry. I was a fourth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Punishment at the time. I didn't know about it at first, but it was a big deal at the time, so I knew it. Although Not quite sure."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice paused for a while, looking at Chen Yi: "But there is a very high chance that it is him."

Chen Yi was a little strange. If he said this, the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were corrupt and accepting bribes had a big change, so the Minister of the Ministry of Industry took the current position. In this way, that person is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

But why are people coming in now and not in the Ministry of Industry?Did this person commit a crime too?
Otherwise, why did the Ministry of Industry find no such person?

"Where is the person now? He took office a month earlier than the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Does it seem that he is corrupt? Where is the person now?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at Chen Yi steadily: "This man has not committed any crime. At that time, the Minister of the Ministry of Works had not come to the imperial capital. Something happened in the Ministry of Works. It was very chaotic and there were many things. This man has good skills and only spent less than [-] yuan." It took half a month to smooth out all the things."

Chen Yi didn't interrupt, knowing that this person is so capable, there must be a follow-up.

"But after he sorted everything out, he actually told the first emperor directly that he wanted to change his guard in the early court."

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and pressed the Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about, my lord? Changing the guard?! Is that what I think? Is it going to change the official position? Want to be promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Work?!"

Is it so tough?It shouldn't be possible, even in modern society, such things don't happen to you.

Chen Yi had a guess in his heart, but it was more exaggerated than what he just said, so he didn't say it.

Minister of the Ministry of Justice nodded and smiled and said: "At that time, there were many people who thought the same as you, including the late emperor. It's just that the late emperor was not angry. After all, during this period of time, the ability of that person was obvious to all. The late emperor was the most Clear, so ask him why."

"In the end, that person said that he didn't want to be the servant of the Ministry of Industry anymore, and he wanted to come to our Ministry of Punishment to be the chief of the bottom. The chief is the fifth grade."
