Chapter 849 Ji Family has an old case
"Your Majesty, please ask me again!"
Song Xiang looked at the Ministry of Justice and War, who was stubborn, and had to say, "Does the inner court have the power to try such a big case? The old minister also knew that there was an inner prison maid who was questioning in Yongxiang Yeting, but such cases were different after all. Isn't your Majesty worried that the trial would be unclear, wrongly accused the prince, and even missed the person with ulterior motives?"
Now even Lu Chun noticed something was wrong. The little eyes on her fat face almost narrowed into a slit, staring at Song Xiang tightly.
Emperor Jianming looked at him coldly and ordered: "Horse of Jiang from Xuanqing will enter the palace, and the Sansi and Song Xiang stay. Everyone else will do it."
Song Xiang felt the cold air coming up from his back, and a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead.
During the period when Zhu Min entered the palace, Song Xiang and Lian Wan looked at each other countless times and even talked softly, but they had no idea what the hell was sold in Emperor Jianming's gourd.
Except for asking Lian Wan lightly at the beginning, Emperor Jianming found out that the Censorate was so idle that his arms were itchy recently. He turned around and chatted with Ji Jun.
"How are your father-in-law and mother-in-law? Is it lively for a long time? How many of your wife's brothers and sisters? Are there promising nephews? I see that although Fu Yan is not very good-nature, he is a capable person. His brother must be unable to make a mistake. How does he have a relationship with your wife?" and other words.
Ji Jun reported respectfully and simply: "There are seven brothers and sisters in the silence, and their birthdays are very lively. Because the silence is a young girl, although his mother-in-law is from Xie, she is famous for her daughter, but she has neglected many rules in her. She has been very good at nieces and nieces from the three brothers since childhood. Fu Yan's child is named Langfeng, and he is still given by the silence."
Emperor Jianming laughed: "It turns out to be a talented woman!"
"I dare not be a talented woman. I am not very old, so I can talk to my nephews even more." Ji Jun said with a smile.
"Oh, I heard that your mother took your niece to the palace gate to post and wanted to see the queen?" Emperor Jianming changed his mind.
Ji Jun's face and feet were stiff and turned into ice: "I beg your Majesty to forgive me. My mother was born in a businessman and was shallow and ignorant. When the elder sister was there, she ordered her not to enter the capital for life. She also said she would cut off contact with the Tong family. Now that the elder sister has passed away, my mother has thrown all these words behind her, which is really annoying. The last time when my mother was making trouble, I just arrived in Beijing and when I was muddy, she had caused such a thing..."
As he said that, he wanted to kneel down.
Emperor Jianming raised his eyebrows gently: "I heard that Concubine Ji had a personal relationship with others back then, so she didn't want to enter the palace?"
Ji Jun had already knelt down, and he heard this and hurriedly walked forward a few steps, saying, "Your Majesty, my elder sister did not have the idea of entering the palace at the beginning."
Regardless of the ugly expression of Emperor Jianming's expression, Ji Jun himself turned red and burst into tears: "The Ji family flourished in the hands of his grandfather. He was in business in Jiangnan and was rich. How is His Majesty looking at Tong now? Back then, he was just one of the many small businesses that came to visit and make friends.
"The elder sister was raised by my grandfather. Later, my grandfather turned around and my father died of illness. Most of the family business was entrusted to the elder sister. At that time, she was very famous in Jiangnan. The four words "Miss Ji" are the golden signs of my Ji family. As for me, because my mother spoiled my second sister, my elder brother followed the managers to travel outside. Since childhood, she has been looking at the account books while taking care of me.
"Your Majesty, please think that it is not an exaggeration to say that the eldest daughter who is a family member who is in charge of the family will come to the house. At least she should stay in her hometown and take care of her parents' home and discipline her younger brothers. Besides, she is the daughter of a merchant. How could she have the idea of leaving her family and stolen her business, and climbing the dragon and phoenix?"
Emperor Jianming's expression gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help but say sadly: "Although Concubine Ji speaks kindly, she has a strong temperament. She has been in the palace for so long, but she has never told me about these difficulties in housework."
Ji Jun lowered his head and wiped his tears, and whispered: "Later, my second sister got married to the Tong family. When the flower and bird envoy arrived, he immediately instigated his mother to send the elder sister to the palace. The elder sister was the blessing of my Ji family, and there would be no complaints in one word.
"But something happened to my elder brother just a few months ago. My second sister immediately came to the door with the Tong family and tricked my mother into giving the family business to the Tong family for management. Now my Ji family is in Jiangnan, which is not even as good as one-tenth of the one twenty years ago, and has completely lost."
Emperor Jianming's face changed: "You mean that something happened to your elder brother is not accidental."
Ji Jun was full of temper: "I have no evidence. But I am already in Dali Temple now..." As he said that, he held the ground with both hands, kowtowed hard, and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to fully investigate the disappearance of my elder brother back then. I will definitely not delay the affairs of Dali Temple! I just ask Your Majesty to agree, so that I can freely investigate all files that have been sealed!"
"Yes!" Emperor Jianming said, "The affairs of the Ji family are the affairs of my beloved concubine, and the affairs of Sanlang! How can I not check it clearly? If you check it, it will be up to you for many years. As long as there is a result, I will immediately give you justice to the Ji family!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Jun lay on the ground and couldn't help crying.
This is his biggest purpose in becoming an official!
Unexpectedly, on such an incredible occasion today, he received strong support from Emperor Jianming.
"But, filial piety is the first priority." Emperor Jianming smiled warmly, and then said: "You were young at that time. In your eyes, naturally, your elder sister was right in everything, and my mother became a foolish person.
"Now you are the chief minister of Dali Temple, you should not be extreme in everything. I know that you have knots about your mother and second sister, so you are not afraid of this. After a few days, you will ask the Queen Mother to persuade your mother. After all, you have to live a life in the future. Sanlang also needs to have a calm grandmother, right?"
Ji Jun's heart tightened and he hurriedly wiped his tears and looked up: "Your Majesty!"
"You are now a third-rank official, and sooner or later you will be asked for a title for your wife and mother. You can stop her for a while, but you can't stop her for a lifetime." Emperor Jianming sighed softly and reached out to signal him to get up.
As he was talking, Zhu Min, the Marquis of Qingjiang, rolled in like a ball, panting and sweating on his face: "Oh, why am I in charge of the Ministry of Justice? Oh, I can't delay my eating, drinking and having fun? Oh, your Majesty, you prefer me too much!"
"Haha, there is a ten thousand-year-old Qin Yitong in the Ministry of Justice. You don't have to worry about anyone. If you take care of him, the Ministry of Justice will take care of everything!" Emperor Jianming chuckled.
Zhu Min blinked his eyes and nodded vigorously: "Your Majesty is right! Mr. Qin is a good at trialing cases! I will stay in the Ministry of Justice in the future and don't care about anyone's affairs, just care about Mr. Qin's affairs alone!"
Emperor Jianming raised his finger and pointed at him, nodded with satisfaction and smiled. However, his eyes turned to everyone, especially when it fell on Song Xiang, he felt cold for no reason:
