After the game emperor awakens

Surprised all four.

The ashamed victim forgot to shed tears, and the complacent trafficker's expression froze. In the hall, Zhang Zhixian and the master looked at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Zhixian suspected that there was something wrong with his own ears, and asked the master in a low voice: "Just now...what did he call himself?"

It's a great tone to let the magistrate of the fifth rank come over to see him. If it was normal, Zhang Zhi County would have dragged him down to punish him.

But in front of that self-proclaimed, all this becomes less important.

No matter how ignorant and ignorant Zhang Zhixian is, he also knows that in the whole world, the only one who can call himself Zhen... is the emperor.

Haha, how is it possible, he is a seventh-rank magistrate, and the fifth-rank magistrate is the biggest official he has ever seen.How could it be possible for the Holy Majesty to appear in his court and be interrogated by him in the imperial city of Yujing, which is thousands of miles away?

Auditory hallucinations must be auditory hallucinations.

The master hesitated and said: "It seems to be..." He didn't dare to say the word "Zhen" out of his mouth, that would be disrespectful, so he just said euphemistically, "Your Majesty's title."

The two were silent for a moment.

Zhang Zhixian slapped the gavel heavily again: "Joke! If you are Your Majesty, I would still be the first emperor!"

Xie Chongjin was expressionless, but the coldness in his eyes was even heavier.

The first emperor was also the inverse scale that Xie Chongjin couldn't touch, and Lu Xue looked at Zhang Zhixian as if he was looking at a dead person.

Zhang Zhixian didn't set himself on fire, but jumped into the fire pit on his own initiative.

Zhang Zhixian is still adding fuel to the fire: "Bold madman, dare to pretend to be His Majesty, and speak wild words, this is a capital crime for punishing the nine clans!"

Because it was a tour in micro-clothes, the local officials did not get the news of Yu Jia's visit.Without certificates, no one would believe that His Majesty, who was supposed to be far away in Yujing, would appear here.That status is too noble and unattainable, as far away as the gods in the sky, who would quickly accept the fact that the gods descended to earth and appeared in front of themselves?

It must be that these two people saw that they were going to punish them, so they made up identities indiscriminately, trying to escape the responsibility, and they didn't think about whether they were reliable or not.Pretending to be the Holy One?Isn't that suicidal?The fugitive slaves who were originally taken away from other people's homes might only need to be punished for a few years and jailed for a few years. If this happened, it would be a certain death penalty.

Lu Xuechao, who memorized Changli's laws like a book, couldn't bear Zhang Zhixian's legal ignorance, and corrected him: "Changli doesn't have the punishment of extermination."

The county magistrate who was in charge of the common people was completely ignorant of the law. One can imagine how he usually settles cases.

...is simply a disaster.

Zhang Zhixian was slapped in the face many times, and he became angry from embarrassment: "Come here, take these two people into custody, and choose a day to ask for execution!"

Local officials do not have the power to directly execute the death penalty. After the death penalty is imposed, it must be reported to the Central Ministry of Punishment, which will decide whether to approve the death penalty.The former Ministry of Punishment disregarded human life, and almost all the officials involved in Yujing were sentenced to death during the turmoil of the previous few months.Now Fu Xinian is in charge of the Criminal Department, because he is the confidant of the Holy One, even though he is a servant, he has the same power as the Minister.

Fu Xi Nian is extremely busy every day. In addition to trying the big Yujing case, he also has to review the death sentences reported from various places one by one, so as to avoid innocent people being killed unjustly.If too many unjust cases are found in a locality, it will be reported to Shen Hezhou, the Ministry of Officials, and the local officials will be dismissed and replaced.

I don't know how Fu Xinian would feel if he saw that a magistrate dared to go to court and sentenced him to death.

But he couldn't see that Zhang Zhi County didn't have this chance to perform.

Zhang Zhixian issued an order, and the yamen servants on both sides were about to step forward, when a yamen servant suddenly rushed into the court: "My lord, the imperial envoy and the magistrate are here!"

Zhang Zhixian was surprised: "Really, it's really here?"

This is a bit mystical.

The magistrate has never been to his yamen, the man just said he wanted the magistrate to come see him, and the magistrate really came... How does it sound like such a coincidence?

Yes, just a coincidence.Zhang Zhi County comforted himself, there are several counties and towns in Quling, the magistrate has accompanied the imperial envoy on various inspections and inspections of political achievements recently, and hinted that they should be diligent these few days, and right now they happen to be inspecting his territory.

It also happened that he was solving a case, and the imperial envoy didn't catch him doing nothing. If he behaved well, he might be promoted.

He really did have some luck.

"Quick, everyone go out to greet him." Zhang Zhixian hurriedly got up, not caring about Xie Chongjin and the others at the moment, and led a group of yamen servants out to greet him.

There were two old men standing at the door, both over half a century old.One was wearing a light blue official uniform, with a big belly, a stooped back, cloudy eyes, and half a step behind the other, with a flattering face.One is dressed in a yellow official uniform, with a thin body, hale and hearty, gray temples, loose crane bones, and a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

Regardless of the appearance, one can tell which is the fifth-rank prefect and which is the third-rank Jingzhao prefect just by looking at the color of the official uniform.The scholar-bureaucrat class is very particular about clothing.The first poinsettia, the second phoenix, the third yellow, the fourth and fifth blue, the sixth and seventh green, and the eighth and ninth cyan. There are different shades of color, and deep purple is the emperor.Since Lu Xuechao set off a wave of white-clothed scholars all over the world, there are still scholars who have not yet obtained the honor of examination and claim themselves to be Qingxiang in white.Therefore, big red and big purple symbolize the most noble and supreme.

The first level of the official rank crushes people, not to mention that the governor of Jingzhao is still a Beijing official, His Majesty's confidant, and his status is very different from that of local officials like them. It is no wonder that the prefect of Quling is worshiping the Buddha.

The prefect of Quling smiled obsequiously on his face, but he was crying in his heart.Can't this giant Buddha eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the scenery in peace?Ever since I came to Quling, I have never been free. Sometimes I ask him about the development of Quling, sometimes I want to check the tax books, and sometimes I want to inspect the people's livelihood and security. I want to visit Qiuling Yamen.

The prefect of Quling only hated himself for not repairing the road bordering Yunzhou as soon as possible, so he couldn't send this giant Buddha away.Knowing this, he shouldn't have squandered the public expenses for building bridges and roads.

The big Buddha patrolled so carefully, but it seemed that he was just looking casually. The time was urgent, and his criminal evidence was not completely destroyed.The prefect of Quling didn't know what to do, he hung a sword above his head all the time, for fear that it would fall.After all, the road was almost repaired, and the Buddha could be sent away for a farewell banquet, and at the end of the day, he wanted to inspect the performance of the magistrate of Qiuling County.

Seeing that the imperial envoy was coming to Qiuling, the prefect of Quling was like an ant on the hot pot - he was running around in a hurry.He didn't know that the magistrate of Qiu Ling was an idiot who used money to buy an official. If his selling an official was discovered by the imperial envoy, it would be a serious crime of beheading.On the way, intentionally or unintentionally, he said many times that he wanted to persuade the imperial envoy to divert to other counties for inspection, but the imperial envoy was determined to come here, so he could only ask for blessings.

But he didn't know that Jingzhaofu Yin already knew it well.

The news that His Majesty is going to visit Jiangnan in person, they received the letter half a month ago.When His Majesty entered the territory of Quling, they were summoned by the secret guards and came immediately.

Xie Chongjin has a seal and a golden order that can prove his identity with him, but if he wants to come to Zhangzhi County, he can't know the goods. Maybe he will be charged with forging the emperor's seal, so he simply asks the imperial envoy to prove it.

The imperial envoys have also investigated Quling's internal affairs, and all the criminal evidence has been collected. If His Majesty hadn't come, he would have executed the Quling prefect on the spot.

"I'm going to see the imperial envoy and the magistrate." Zhang Zhixian bowed his hands and asked earnestly, "Is your lord here to inspect? The next official is trying a case..."

The governor of Jingzhao asked casually, "What case is being tried?"

The news said that His Majesty is here, could it be that he is watching the magistrate of Qiu Ling settle the case?

Your Majesty is really a good emperor who goes deep into the grassroots.Jingzhao Fu Yin felt relieved.

The prefect of Quling desperately gave him winks, implying that he should speak less, so as not to make too many mistakes.

Can he still know how much this Zhang is?He'll try a shitty case!

But Zhang Zhixian couldn't see it. He was eager to show himself in front of the imperial envoy. While welcoming Jingzhaofu Yin into the yamen, he proudly said: "The two criminals robbed other people's slaves and falsely accused the bitter master of kidnapping. The officer saw through. Seeing that the plan had been revealed, the prisoner pretended to be His Majesty in an attempt to escape the crime. The officer will not condone those who disrespect His Majesty, and is about to put him in prison and be sentenced to death..."

The more Jingzhao Mansion Yin listened, the more wrong he became. Could it be that His Majesty did not come to attend the trial, but the one being tried...

During the conversation, several people had already entered the lobby, Zhang Zhixian pointed to Xie Chongjin who was still sitting on the chair and said indignantly: "It's him! He is so bold, pretending to be the Holy One, and even meeting the imperial envoy, he didn't stand up and salute—"

Before Zhang Zhixian finished speaking, he saw that the imperial envoy beside him had quickly straightened his official uniform, and knelt down to salute: "I see Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen."

The disaster relief soldiers who came with the imperial envoy also knelt down in a well-trained manner, and said in unison: "See Your Majesty, see Your Highness the Queen."

Zhang Zhixian: "..."

The prefect of Quling, who followed in, staggered and nearly passed out on the spot.

Zhang Zhixian really gave him a big surprise.

How come His Majesty and His Royal Highness are also in Quling?He hadn't heard the slightest bit of wind beforehand!

I thought that the imperial envoy who came was already a great Buddha. Who would have thought that all the Buddhas would come.

What's even more frightening is that Zhang Zhixian seems to have offended both His Majesty and the Queen...

The prefect of Quling's hands and feet were weak, and he knelt down to salute. He wanted to clear up his relationship with Zhang Zhixian, so as not to let himself suffer, but seeing Xie Chongjin's gloomy expression, he dared not speak up to defend himself.

When he didn't know his identity, Xie Chongjin was already intimidating, but when he knew his identity, he didn't dare to breathe in front of him.

Seeing that both the imperial envoy and the magistrate were kneeling, the rest of the people came to their senses.The yamen servants threw away the water and fire sticks in their hands and knelt down on the ground one after another.

Especially the two yamen servants who were about to step forward to take the prisoner away, they were so frightened that the two trembled like chaff.

They almost disrespected His Majesty and His Royal Highness...

The traffickers and the victims were also dumbfounded.The former couldn't believe that they were thinking of selling His Majesty and His Highness the Queen, while the latter couldn't believe that they were actually rescued by His Majesty and His Highness the Queen.

Seeing everyone in the room kneeling, Zhang Zhixian woke up like a dream and had to accept the fact.

His legs softened, and he fell on the ground, kowtowing tremblingly, even his voice trembling: "Your Majesty... No, I, I have blind eyes and failed to recognize Your Majesty and His Highness the Queen. Your Majesty forgives me."

God, what has he done?

He said that he was His Majesty's father, and he wanted to punish His Majesty and His Highness the Queen...

Zhang Zhixian thought of thousands of ways, but he couldn't think of any way for him to survive.

The prefect of Quling wished that Zhang Zhixian would die quickly, so as not to be found out about their deeds, and said: "You still have the face to ask His Majesty to forgive your sin? You offended His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and committed this unforgivable crime—"

"This is not an unforgivable crime." Lu Xuechao said slowly.

"Your Majesty and this palace did not prove their identities. To punish those pretending to be kings is just to enforce the law impartially, and it is not a crime at all." His voice was soft.

Hope appeared in Zhang Zhixian's eyes: "His Royal Highness is merciful..."

"However," Lu Xuechao changed the subject, her tone was slightly cold, "As a father and official of the common people, he never tires of blasphemy, disregards human life, eats a vegetarian meal, and listens and believes, so—"

"It deserves death."

The prefect of Quling shuddered.

Her Majesty's words seemed to be addressed to Zhang Zhixian, but also seemed to be addressed to him.

Xie Chongjin finally said: "Submit all the previous case files of the yamen."

Today's case alone shows how unreliable the county magistrate of Qiuling Town is, and how many unjust, false and wrong cases have been caused before.

The master was terrified, if His Majesty saw the facts of the case and the punishment, he would not be able to run away.

Zhang Zhixian knew nothing about judging cases, and often asked the dog-headed military division how to judge.But this military adviser did not follow Changli's laws, he would help anyone who gave him benefits, and he was good at turning black and white.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, these are all trivial old cases..." The master bite the bullet and said, "You are the king of a country, and you have a lot of time to manage, so you shouldn't worry about these trivial matters..."

Xie Chongjin looked at him coldly: "Heaven's people are not for the king; Heaven's king is for the people."

"If the suffering of the people is small, what is the greatness of the world?"
