Chapter 425 I want to see the results within three days.
Chapter 425 I want to see the results within three days.
The morning court session was drawing to a close.
As was customary, the emperor's attendants announced: "Those with matters to report should speak; those without should withdraw from court."
After he finished speaking, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present."
Upon seeing that it was the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, the new emperor calmly asked, "My dear minister, is there any progress in the Wen family case?"
"Uh."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, forcing a smile, said, "Your Majesty, it's not a case involving the Wen family, it's about Lin, Inspector Lin..."
“My dear minister, the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. Whether it is the Lincha Envoy, the Vice Minister, or anyone else, they shall all be dealt with in accordance with the laws of Zhongzhao Kingdom.”
The new emperor suddenly became angry, his words filled with rage, "Don't you officials of the Court of Judicial Review understand this principle? Some things have already been clarified, cases should be closed, and investigations should be carried out. Why bring trivial matters to court for discussion? What are you officials good for?"
When the emperor became angry, the officials in the court bowed their heads and cried out, "Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!"
A moment later, a bearded military officer stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial to present."
"My dear minister, grant the request!" The new emperor suppressed his anger.
The bearded general said, “Your Majesty, my colleagues, Wen Qilin’s Northern Army has been stationed in the outskirts of the capital for nearly ten days. That is a force that can fight ten against one. It was this force that recently expanded the country’s territory and captured several cities. Now those cities are waiting for talented people from all sides to guard them!”
"Your Majesty, our camp is not far from this army. Recently, we have heard some rumors circulating among the Northern Desert Army. They say that if the court continues to leave the victorious soldiers in this state, it will chill their hearts, and they will return to the Northern Desert and declare themselves kings."
"Your Majesty, I believe that the rewarding of the soldiers should not be delayed, and the retrial of the Wen family case should be expedited."
The bearded general pleaded in final words: "Your Majesty, I urge that the Wen family case be reopened as soon as possible, and that the soldiers be rewarded!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several officials stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I second that proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
As a result, a chorus of voices "seconding" echoed in the court.
More than half of the officials in the court submitted their statements, awaiting the emperor's approval.
The new emperor, his face ashen, observed the various expressions of the people in the court. After a moment, he finally spoke.
"Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, I hereby order you to retry the Wen family case. I will see the results within three days. Court adjourned!"
After saying this, the new emperor, accompanied by his close eunuchs and guards, turned and left the main hall.
Immediately, a palace eunuch announced, "Court adjourned—"
The civil and military officials in the main hall then left one after another and went to their respective offices.
Some people who were trying to build rapport and arrange meals with each other started greeting each other.
"General Wu, how about a drink after court?"
"Lord Zhou, how about we have a meal together after court?"
"Hey, count me in, you don't mind, right?"
They live in small groups, each with their own circle.
Some accepted the invitation, while others declined, revealing the myriad aspects of life.
......
The Yanqian Mountains, a certain mountain peak within the inner perimeter.
"Third brother, Changhao, the sun is about to set, let's head back," said the grandmaster.
"Wenxia, Yao Maimai, you two stop digging and let's go," Ye Jingchuan urged.
"Yes, yes, coming right away!" the two who were engrossed in digging for spirit plants answered loudly.
However, they could only hear the echo, but saw no one.
Ye Jingchuan had no choice but to walk over, and when he got closer, he was shocked by what he saw.
Originally, this area was covered with many beautiful spiritual plants, herbs, and flowers. Now, the ground is riddled with holes, dug up by the two sisters. Fortunately, it wasn't all holes; at least the two sisters knew to leave some seedlings a few steps apart. Otherwise, the whole area would have been ruined if they had dug it all up.
Ye Jingchuan sighed softly, rubbing his forehead, and asked in confusion, "What are you two doing? Why are you digging up so many flowers? Are they edible?"
"Uncle Ye, you don't know this."
Yao Maimai pointed to a large bunch of flower seedlings in her hand and said, "Aren't we going back to the capital soon? Once we're back in the capital, all the young ladies in every household will definitely find excuses to meet up every day. Today it's her house to admire the flowers, tomorrow it's your house to admire the flowers. These people have nothing to do all day long except admire flowers."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm thinking of planting a huge field of flowers in my backyard. My flowers will be the most beautiful, and no one else's can compare. Then I'll have a reason not to go out."
“That way, we can at least have some peace and quiet for half a month. Then, we can plant some beautiful flowers at my maternal grandfather’s house, my paternal grandfather’s house, and my great-grandfather’s house. That way, I can stay at each house for half a month, and two months will pass in the blink of an eye. Wouldn’t that be great? Uncle Ye, what do you think of this idea?”
Yao Maimai had actually shared this idea with her sisters in the past few days, and they all thought it was a good idea. However, they hadn't reported it to their elders yet and didn't know if they would get their support. Therefore, Wenwen suggested that the two sisters first get the support of their grandmaster and then proceed gradually.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchuan agreed, nodding in agreement, "Not bad! Not bad! But what about two months from now?"
The reason for this question is that everyone knows that the Wen family will need to stay in the capital for at least three months and at most a year and a half after returning to Beijing, unless, unless the new emperor issues an order.
However, no one could possibly know what the new emperor was thinking.
"As for two months from now, isn't that exactly what I was thinking of asking Uncle Ye for help with?"
Yao Maimai blinked and whispered, "Uncle Ye, is Medicine King Valley fun? Wen said there are a lot of high mountains in Medicine King Valley, hehehe, Xia and I haven't climbed them yet!"
One can discern the refined meaning from the sound of the strings!
Ye Jingchuan wasn't stupid; he knew exactly what the two of them were thinking. The cunning look in Yao Maimai's eyes and Wen Xia eavesdropping nearby couldn't escape his divine sense.
Hmph, those two little girls are trying to use him to pass a message to their master, how despicable!
"You've all broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, why do you still bother climbing the high mountains of Medicine King Valley?" Ye Jingchuan teased.
That's right. During this period, the two sisters spent their days training their skills against demonic beasts and their nights meditating and cultivating. They worked non-stop every day and finally broke through to the fourth level of Qi Refining the day before yesterday. This afternoon, their master allowed them to rest for half an hour. It was only during this half hour that the two sisters were able to find time to dig for flowers and herbs here.
"Uncle Ye, you are mistaken. Breaking through a cultivation level and climbing the high mountains of Medicine King Valley are not contradictory."
Seeing an opening, Wenxia came over to join in the persuasion: "Uncle, all we need is for you to say a few good words to our grandmaster, just a few words, hehehe!"
After speaking, Wenxia looked at Ye Jingchuan with a smile, the cunning in her eyes seeming familiar.
Ye Jingchuan sighed helplessly. He didn't know when it started, but the Wen family girls' laughter had all become the same, and even their mischievous appearances seemed to be cut from the same mold. Sure enough, the mystery of genes was inexplicable.
Before Ye Jingchuan could speak, a voice rang out behind the three of them.
