Mu Lingwei was also a little embarrassed, why did she get involved?

So she just nodded and smiled, calm and composed, neither arrogant nor impetuous, dignified and noble, like a goddess.

Seeing that Mu Lingwei had such a high reputation among the people, the Queen Mother and others stared at her in shock.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager had an idea, called Jun Yi to her side, and whispered: "Is Xie Wanglai, Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, already in jail?"

Jun Yi nodded and whispered: "Yes, the death penalty. He is an important witness who identified Shen Chen. We just wait for Shen Chen to be convicted and execute them together."

The Empress Dowager whispered to Jun Chenrui again: "The emperor can appoint Mu Lingwei as the temporary governor of Jingzhao and let her review the case."

Jun Yi's pupils widened: "Royal grandmother, she is a woman. There is no precedent for a woman to become an official in this dynasty. Besides, she is Princess Anyang, how can she show up in court?"

Even if the Empress Dowager accompanied the Emperor in person because of her status and prestige, she could not interfere in the Emperor's decision-making. No matter what Mu Lingwei was capable of, she was also a woman.

"Ai Jia was appointed as a general by your imperial grandfather and led the troops to break out of the encirclement. Isn't Ai Jia a female?" The Empress Dowager continued: "Everything has a precedent. Mu Lingwei has no worries, and she has prestige among the people. The trial of the case will naturally go smoothly."

"This is against the rules!" Jun Yi still disagreed. No matter how capable a woman is, she is still a woman. If she sits in court, people will laugh out loud.

The Queen Mother also knew that this matter was difficult to handle, "Only she can handle this matter."

She said to the emperor again: "On an occasion like today, direct execution is definitely not possible. There must be iron-clad facts before the emperor can issue an imperial edict of execution. Otherwise, it will not be able to convince the public. So many people are involved in major and minor cases. Yes, it is in line with the procedure for the Jingzhao Governor to come to interrogate her. The key is that she has not been caught with her feet, and she is fearless."

Jun Chenrui said respectfully: "My grandson knows."

"Who does your Majesty think the Shen family's case should be handed over to preside over?" the Empress Dowager deliberately said loudly.

Therefore, the emperor also said to the ministers: "My beloved ministers, if there is anyone who recommends himself to be the chief judge, I will immediately appoint him as the new Jingzhao Prefecture Yin to review the case of the Shen family."

In an instant, everyone was quiet. Everyone was vying for the position of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, but no one could sit on it today. Shen Bi was the general of the country, and they didn't dare to interrogate him even if the emperor was around. .

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads, the Empress Dowager said again: "Master Shang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I have wronged you..."

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, the Criminal Department still has a lot of matters. If the case in the Jingzhao Mansion is a serious case, it must be transferred to the hands of the minister. The minister will try it first, which is not in line with the rules." Shang Shangshu refused.

"Zhang Shangshu, you have just taken over the Ministry of War, you can first..." the Empress Dowager said again leisurely.

Zhang Yong knelt down quickly and said: "Thanks to your Majesty's trust, I have allowed you to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. I thank you for your great kindness. However, I used to serve under General Shen, and now I am here to interrogate General Shen. I am afraid that it is... inappropriate."

Besides, he didn't know a lot of Chinese characters. If a rough man tried the case, he would be laughed out of his mouth! He couldn't afford to embarrass this person in front of the emperor.

It is better to go back and read more books and learn more calligraphy, so as to secure the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

"Prince Regent..."

Jun Ao was eager to push him out. He didn't want to be caught between the emperor and Jun Mohan, so he said directly: "How can I be the right person to serve as the governor of Jingzhao? It is better to give some opportunities to the officials below. The Shen family's case involves more than a thousand people. If it is done well, the emperor will definitely give you a heavy reward, but I don’t need a heavy reward."

"Forget it Prince Ping, he is still in the period of filial piety, don't bother." The Empress Dowager said with compassionate eyes.

Jun Yi saw that the Empress Dowager was acting pretentious, as if there was no one in the court.

Immediately afterwards, the Empress Dowager also said to the officials: "The emperor proposed to recommend himself, and the regent said to give the officials below a chance. Who can be worthy of the big job?"

Still no one said anything, who dared to hit the knife edge at this time.

Mu Lingwei also glanced at everyone and shook her head secretly. They were actually afraid of being bitten by the Shen family. Anyone who dared to recommend himself to try the case would be Amitabha if he would not be implicated now.

They also have to act according to the situation and intercede for the Shen family at any time. These corrupt officials are scared to death.

There are too few honest officials and too many fearful people, so it is wise for everyone to stay away from them.

"No one among us is willing to take the post of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, so the Ai family recommended it. The emperor would see if it could be adopted. The ministers would listen to see if they objected. The common people also helped the Ai family think about whether it was appropriate." The Empress Dowager said warmly, It looked like they were discussing.

Everyone looked at her, just wanting to know who was willing to take this hot potato.

In fact, in cases like Shen Shen's rebellion, the evidence is conclusive and can be directly tried and then executed.

Besides, the Jingzhao Mansion cannot control things like rebellion, let alone the generals who govern the country, because they are not high enough.

The emperor did not try him because he was the emperor's uncle and it was difficult to ask some questions. Besides, he had no evidence to overturn Shangguan Yun's case. Only Jun Mohan had it.

In an instant, Jun Chenrui admired the Empress Dowager even more.

The Empress Dowager did not bother to do anything because she knew that the ministers had something wrong in their minds.

The governor of Jingzhao could not interrogate Shen Bi, but he could interrogate other members of the Shen family. The nineteen people who had been killed must have committed murders.

Therefore, it was right for the emperor to appoint the governor of Jingzhao to review the case.

Zhou Zixuan reversed the case for Shangguan Yun. With the emperor here, he only waited for the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture to interrogate the others, and the truth would naturally come out.

The Empress Dowager frowned again, and whispered: "First, give her an identity. Granting her the title of Madam is just a false name. Granting her the title of princess. The Ai family feels that the status of the princess is not high, and granting her the title of princess has nothing to do with her identity." No, she is the prince’s wife.”

In fact, the Empress Dowager had selfish motives. She wanted to avoid being criticized by the world when Mu Lingwei's life experience was revealed. She really had good intentions.

"I agree." Jun Chenrui raised the corners of his lips, feeling very happy in his heart, "Why don't you just seal her as your queen?"

The Queen Mother and Jun Yi were stunned and looked at him at the same time...

Jun Chenrui blinked, "I was just kidding."

Jun Yi glanced at him regardless of his status, "Mu Lingwei is already the Princess of Anyang, and her status is already very noble." It is indeed short of being granted the title of Queen. If you, Your Majesty, give way, you will naturally be granted the title of Queen.

A few people were whispering, but everyone was waiting for the Empress Dowager to announce who she would recommend as the governor of Jingzhao to try the case.

They were far away, and their voices were soft, so naturally they couldn't be heard. They seemed to be discussing who would be more suitable to take the position. Everyone didn't think much about it, so they waited quietly.

But Shen Bi couldn't wait any longer. He glanced at the officials, signaling someone to speak for him. He wanted to see who had the ability to put him in jail.

At this time, Gu Yushi suddenly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, General Shen's case is indeed unfair and needs to be investigated carefully. Should we remove his bracelet now?"

Jun Chenrui's mind was not at all on what Gu Yushi said, he only said: "Wait..."

Gu Yushi was stunned, and then said: "There is no evidence, General Shen will be arrested and brought to court..."

Before he could finish his words, Jun Chenrui raised his eyebrows and said directly: "It is my decree that Princess Jun Mu of Anyang has a noble character and meritorious service in rescuing the enemy. She is specially canonized as the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. I appreciate this!"

Everyone thought: This is too hasty.
