Chapter 40: I'm going to the barracks

Under Zhao Yan's rage, officials from the Ministry of Justice worked all night and did not dare to sleep at night.

Some people even traveled thousands of miles at night to arrive in Caizhou, gathering everyone's strength, and finally fully investigated the case at noon on the third day.

Liu Zhi's fiancée Caiying was also found in a private house in Changdan City.

If she was one day later, she might have been sold into a tile.

Moreover, the Ministry of Justice unearthed a huge black industrial chain during this investigation.

Zhou Fu, a medicinal material merchant in Caizhou, did a medicinal material transaction on the surface, but secretly did a specialty of buying and selling young women, and he also chose good looks to sell it to Goryeo.

According to investigation, he has been in this industry for nearly ten years, and nearly 10,000 women are selling.

Such dirty deeds can be said to be anger between heaven and man.

This year, due to the high demand in Goryeo, he took the risk and came up with the reason for taking advantage of the emperor's acceptance of concubines to deceive beautiful girls.

What made Zhao Yan furious was that Qian Qihai, the governor of Caizhou, was once the favorite disciple of Xiao Zhengye, turned out to be Zhou Fu's backstage.

"All the books of sages have been read into the dog's belly!" Zhao Yan fell off the teacup in front of him after reading the memorial presented by the Ministry of Justice.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty, which has always established its ethics and ethics, such scandals happened, the civil and military officials naturally felt shame.

Zhao Yan directly issued an edict, and Qian Qihai, the governor of Caizhou, and Zhou Fu, the merchant of medicinal materials, both sentenced him to behead him and executed immediately.

This was the second literati-official official killed by the Great Zhou Dynasty, both of whom were killed by Zhao Yan.

But this time, no official dared to submit a petition.

Xiao Jingye, who has always cherished his face, unexpectedly, a scum of such a person appeared among his disciples. He handed out a memorial to apologize overnight, hoping to resign to thank the world for his repatriation, and requested Zhao Yan to severely punish him.

Zhao Yan naturally knew that it was not his fault, so he made all the ministers stop him from resigning, and then fined him for half a year, allowing him to reflect on himself for seven days at home, which was considered a punishment.

And Empress Dowager Zhang was also the one who was greatly affected by this incident.

"Your Majesty, the Ai family really... I really don't know that someone would use Your Majesty's enthronement to do such a careless thing. It was because the Ai family was not considerate. I hope Your Majesty would punish you!" As soon as Empress Dowager Zhang stepped into the door of Chuigong Hall, she burst into tears and then knelt on the ground.

If she had not allowed all officials in the world to choose concubines for Zhao Yan, those people would not have had this opportunity.

Although good intentions have turned into bad things, this matter has still arisen because of her.

Zhao Yan quickly helped Empress Dowager Zhang up.

"My mother, this is not your fault. You don't have to feel guilty. If it weren't for the talent show, I wouldn't have discovered that I have such a cancer in Dazhou."

Zhao Yan sighed and continued, "Mother, you also know that at the end of March, there will be a big battle between the Great Zhou and the Northern Meng. I really have no intention of thinking about marriage. It is better to let go of this marriage. I will talk about it after the war."

Empress Dowager Zhang thought for a while and replied, "Then let's follow His Majesty's wishes, but in private, the Ai family will try their best to pay attention. If you miss Your Majesty's marriage, then I will be the sinner of the Great Zhou!"

Zhao Yan was a little amused and cried, so he had to nod, which was considered as an agreement.

On February 20th, the palace was in the Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Yan sat on the dragon throne with an excited look on his face.

The lower part of the literary minister Xiao Jingye, the wealth minister Kong Moshan, the martial minister Yang Xinghuai, the director of the two museums Pan Wenyue, the censor Shangguan Buyue, the commander of the Shence Army, and the commander of the imperial guard Shen Tuyi all had constipated expressions.

All of this was because Zhao Yan said something.

"I plan to enter the military camp outside the city from tomorrow, eat, live and train with the soldiers, and prepare for the war with the Northern Mongolian!"

These people couldn't figure out how the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty wanted to endure hardships and suffer.

Besides, how can an emperor be trained in a military camp? There has been no such precedent in history!

Xiao Jingye took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, you must not. The military camp is not where you stay. Your health is precious. You must not be injured or sick!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, you only need to plan your own battles this time. Leave the war to me and other rough people!" Yang Hong, the commander of the Shence Army, also said.

The censor Shangguan said unhappily: "Your Majesty, if you enter the military camp, how should you deal with the affairs of the government? Please think twice!"

Just when the others were about to speak, Zhao Yan waved his hand and stopped him.

"I have decided that this battle will be related to my fate after the Great Zhou Dynasty. I must practice it as an example. As for the affairs of the court, there is a silence to do it."

"Your Majesty...this..."

As soon as Shen Tu Yi opened his mouth, Zhao Yan reached out to stop him.

"If you want to persuade me again, I will..." Zhao Yan touched the collar and looked at the ministers.

"I have no objection!" Xiao Jingye stood up and said.

The sound is crisp and decisive.

The people behind him also looked helpless and shouted in unison: "I have no objection!"

When Zhao Yan touched his collar, it means he was going to give up again.

This is the best way for Zhao Yan to threaten his ministers, and he uses it once and once.

Xiao Jingye looked helpless. Scholars rarely could use this shameless threat method. But Zhao Yan used it perfectly and could achieve his own goal every time.

Zhao Yan smiled proudly, looked at Yang Hong, and said, "Yang Hong, you are the commander of the Shence Army. This time I will arrange for me to be a more combat-effective battalion. Remember not to let the battalion commander and the soldiers in the battalion know my identity."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai and Kong Moshan almost sat on the ground when his legs became weak.

The three of them were already crying.

This little ancestor not only wanted to live in the military camp, but to be a real soldier.

How can you mess like this?

The laws in the army are strict, and fights happen from time to time. If any invisible soldier destroys the emperor, it will be great.

"Your Majesty, you... aren't you going to take the life of the old minister like this!" Yang Xinghuai lamented. Once an accident occurs, the biggest responsibility will naturally be his Yang family.

Zhao Yan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of responsibility. Just to experience the life in the military camp, with Heiwa accompanying me, I will definitely be worry-free, and if I can't stand it, I will naturally return to the palace!"

The ministers sighed, hoping that he would just play and return to the palace in two or three days.

At this time, Pan Wenyue suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there will be another six days for your 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony. According to the ancestral system, you must worship your ancestors in the palace. I'm afraid you can't go to the military camp."

Yang Xinghuai and others were overjoyed and murmured in their hearts: It’s better to have culture. With an ancestral system, His Majesty can go back obediently.

Zhao Yan looked at the expected gazes of the ministers, smiled slightly, and said, "That day, I can just ask for leave to return to the palace."
