    Because of the bribery of Empress Ba Buhan, the horse is not only exonerated from the crime of stealing the God Lord from the Taimiao Temple, but also has the hope of being promoted to Zuo Cheng.  When the news got out, Liu Yun, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, was angry. He played hard to fight.  The queen also knew that this matter was not done properly, so she canceled the promotion of the horse as Zuo Cheng.  But as soon as this way of bribery was opened, all the courtiers in the outer court wanted to get promoted and get rich through this way.

    [1] "Autumn Evening" Poem by Bai Juyi

    The sound of leaves falling like rain, the moonlight white like frost;

    In the middle of the night, Fang is lying alone, who is the duster on the bed.

    The night wind blew, and the leaves fell one after another, as if the sound of rain broke into the ears; the bright moonlight covered the earth like frost, and the poet felt even more lonely.  It is the dead of night, how can I sleep alone?  Guha couldn't help feeling: "No one wipes the dust off the bed for me anymore!"

    Guha is a widow. Her husband, Zheng Guobao, was an official in the court. A month ago, her husband died accidentally in the "Nanpo Incident".  Zheng Guobao's ancestors were in business, and his family was very rich.  After the death of the national treasure, Guha left a lot of legacy.

    There was a man named Sati, who was Taiwei [1] Buhua's servant, because his wife died of illness and lost his spouse.  Sati not only admired Guha's beauty, but also envied her family's inheritance, so many people tried to persuade Guha to marry him.

    Guha told the matchmaker that as a married woman, how could she remarry?

    Sati didn't give up at all, so he prepared a gift of a thousand pieces of gold and gave it to his master Buhua.

    Bu Hua looked at such an important gift, and asked Sati: "What's the matter, do you need my help?"

    Sati said: "This subordinate fell in love with Guha, and asked someone to come to propose marriage, but she rejected me on the grounds that she was the court wife."

    "Where is Guha from?"

    "She is Zheng Guobao's wife."

    "Oh~" Buhua pondered, and said to herself, "This matter is really difficult. Guha is the wife of a courtier, and she is not comparable to a lowly woman. You must not use coercion." No  Hua thought for a while, and said to Sati, "Wu Beiqing Jilie has some ideas, why don't you invite him to discuss it?" At that time, Jilie was invited to explain the reason.

    Ji Lie laughed and said, "I have a plan, but it only takes a lot of money from Sati to succeed."

    Don't take the time to ask: "Tell me about your method."

    "Guha refuses to remarry. It's useless to force her. You can only try to get an imperial decree from the emperor to make her remarry. Think about it, Guha is a female generation, how dare she disobey the holy order, so she naturally wants to remarry  of."

    After listening to it, Hua said with a smile: "Aren't you fooling around! Trying to marry a widow is illegal. How can we get the imperial decree?"

    "How can I really ask for the emperor's imperial edict."

    "How about that?"

    "Lieutenant, you are really 'keep your ears out of the window'! Don't you know? Now the Empress of the Central Palace has all the power, and Prime Minister Zuo Dasha only accepts bribes for the Empress.  No matter how many imperial edicts you want, there are connections? It¡¯s just that there are huge bribes. Fortunately, Zheng Guobao left a lot of property, almost in the millions? Sati married Guha, and his property is still  If you don't marry Guha, it's worth spending more money."

    "I can't be the master of the matter of using money. He has to come and answer it himself." At that moment, Buhua called Sati, told him his imminent idea, and asked him if he would be willing to pay more money.

    Sati thought to himself: "I heard that Mrs. Guha is worth a million dollars. As long as you marry her, it doesn't matter if you spend one or two hundred thousand. Besides, beauties are rare. If I miss this opportunity, I will go to see you again."  Where can I find a beautiful rich woman like Guha?" Thinking of this, he said cheerfully, "With the full authority of Minister Wu Bei."

    After getting such a big deal, Lie Naken was slow, so he immediately went to the Chancellor's Mansion to meet Zuo Chancellor Dao Lasha.

    Dao Lasha said: "You ask Sati to come up with 50,000 guan, and we brothers will underwrite this matter for him."

    Ji Lie asked: "Is the Prime Minister sure to win the imperial decree?"

    Da Lasha smiled and said: "You can rest assured that Satir will have an imperial decree and order the widow to marry him."

    Ji Lie quickly replied to Sati: "Sati, you only need to spend 50,000 guan coins, and you can get both money and money."

    Sati was really overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Wu Bei, wait a moment, I'll go home and collect money." He quickly collected 50,000 guan and handed it over to Ji Lie, with Buhua as the witness.

    ¡¾2¡¿"Money can make ghosts turn the mill" as the saying goes

    ? Money can make ghosts turn millstones,

    If you have no money, you will be a grinder.

    Zhang Gu of the Tang Dynasty said in "Yuxian Advocacy": "One hundred thousand can be used to enlighten the gods.?¡­" This statement is not false at all. Sati can reach the sky with only fifty thousand coins. After a few days, the queen passed on a false order from the emperor, ordering Guha to remarry.

    Just imagine, Guha is a woman from a Taoist family, how dared to violate the holy will, so she had to change into auspicious attire instead of mourning clothes, and married Sati reluctantly.  The property left by Zheng Guobao and all the rare animals and animals also belonged to Sati along with Guha.

    When Sati was enjoying himself, it happened that those officials refused to be beautiful. You played a book, and he posted a book, saying that Sati had colluded with each other, and that Ji Lie and Lie had falsely preached imperial edicts, forced the widow to be married, and seized the inheritance  .

    With so many memorials, the queen dared not hide the truth from the emperor anymore, so she had to send these memorials to the emperor for review.

    For some unknown reason, Emperor Taiding suddenly became clear-headed this time, and ordered the Ministry of Punishments to investigate.

    Soon, Buhua, Jilie, Sati and others were summoned to the case.  The facts were very clear, and they could not deny them, and the trial of the case was soon over.  The Ministry of Punishment got the confession, but it was difficult.  Because the matter is related to the palace ban, and the prime minister is involved I don't know whether to tell the truth or to conceal it.

    It's just such a coincidence!  At the moment when the investigators of the Ministry of Criminal Justice were at a loss and in a dilemma, the empress, because her body violated peace, ordered the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to summon the monks and disciples to perform ritual sacrifices and amnesty the criminals.  It doesn't take long to wait for all the criminals to be pardoned, and they will not be held accountable.

    In fact, this is even trickier.

    It turned out that the empress submitted Tai Chen's memorial to the emperor for review, only saying that he would always keep it in the middle and not publish it.  Unexpectedly, the emperor decided to rise up to make a plan, and approved it and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.  The queen was very anxious in her heart, so she discussed with her confidants how to save the matter.  While discussing, Dao Lasha also summoned Bu Hua, Ji Lie, and Sati to interrogate because of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.  He thought to himself that colluding with the palace was all his business.  If Buhua and others can't bear the punishment and confess the truth, it will be bad for him, so he rushed to the palace in a hurry to discuss a plan with the queen to save Buhua and others, so that there is no way to interrogate the confession.

    Seeing Dao Lasha coming, the queen was very happy, and hurriedly said: "You came just in time, I don't want to wait for others to discuss a good way here, so as not to involve it and make everyone look bad."

    Dao Lasha said: "If you want to save the face of the empress and the veterans, the only way to get Buhua and others off the hook."

    "How to get rid of the crime?"

    "Although I have a wonderful strategy, it is only effective because of the Queen's efforts."

    "What is the prime minister's plan? As long as it is within my power, there is absolutely no reason to deny it. Why don't you tell the plan and let everyone discuss it?"

    "Since our dynasty became the ruler of Zhongxia, all dynasties have firmly believed in Lamaism [Tibetan Buddhism]. After the emperor Shizu established his capital in Yanjing, he also appointed Phagsiba as the emperor's teacher and gave him a jade seal to lead him to lead Buddhism in the world.  To pacify the Hui tribe, and to impose military prestige on Europe, all rely on the master's magic and strength. Therefore, the ancestors have great respect for the monks. Every time there are good seasons, or when the country has some grand ceremonies, the monks will be ordered to build the scriptures for offering sacrifices.  Go to Tianfu. Every time a monk reads the scriptures, he must be amnesty. Whether he is a robber who murdered and set fire, or a rebel who conspired to commit crimes, he is also included in the list of amnesties. This is a common practice in all dynasties.  No one dared to violate this system. Therefore, some nobles and ministers committed accidental crimes, which cannot be forgiven, so they mobilized monks to make the emperor build a funeral ceremony, so as to avoid crimes. Now there is no other way to save Buhua and others, as long as  The empress falsely claimed that the jade body violated peace, and asked the emperor to summon the monks to build a big ceremony. At that time, these monks would naturally follow the regulations and ask the emperor for amnesty. If you don't wait for others, you can use this to forgive your sins. Isn't this a perfect idea?  plan?"

    The queen heard the prime minister's words, and she couldn't help but feel happy and said: "The prime minister's words are indeed good, and there is no need to delay. I will go to see the emperor and ask for an order to build a funeral." (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com
