Regarding the handling of the incident of seizing the door, he raised it high and put it down gently. The old emperor felt that he was merciful. He only punished so many people for such a big thing, and everyone should be satisfied. Managing a big country is like cooking.
Xiaoxian, I’m in trouble!
Some people were dissatisfied. After being imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, Gu Yi, a scholar of Wuying Palace, cried shamelessly every day regardless of his identity. In addition to crying, he would plead guilty to the emperor every day. He said he was asking for forgiveness, but in fact he was asking for forgiveness.
He defended himself and begged for mercy; the emperor refused to see him, so he pestered Zheng Feng, Yu Chaoxiang, Guo Zhiqi, Cai Yingchang, Zhang Tiaoding and other officials handling the case, begging them to intercede with the emperor on his behalf.
These few people were also heroes from the Long Dynasty, and they had some friendship with Mr. Gu Ge. Slowly, Gu Yi's pitiful behavior spread to the old emperor's ears.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu Ge is deeply regretful in prison. He sheds tears every day and prays to the Buddha to protect your health." Someone reported to him.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gu Ge said that he will be exiled to New Beihai Province soon. He will probably never see you again in this life. I just want to see you again before leaving." Another confidant said this.
Zhu Hengjia hesitated. He was an emotional person. When he was seeking to usurp the throne, he held high the flag of righteousness. He only had a small group of people under his command. Gu Yi, who was then the official of the Guilin Prefecture, was one of them. He served as his supervisor.
The country has exerted great efforts. In one month, he will be seventy-four, and Gu Laoer is also sixty-seven. Once he is exiled to New Beihai Province, he will probably never see him again in this life. Anyway, he will see him before he is exiled.
He should meet him as soon as possible, lest other old brothers say that he is unkind.
He summoned Gu Yi, thus changing the fate of a large number of Conglong heroes.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid I will never see you again after I leave here. You must take care of your dragon body!" As soon as he saw Zhu Hengjia, Gu Yi plopped down, knelt down in front of him, kissed his boots, and cried bitterly.
.
Zhu Hengjia felt soft. This old man still had feelings for him. He asked with a straight face: "Gu Qing, why are you helping the prince to put me under house arrest?"
"What an injustice, Your Majesty!"
Gu Yi cried hoarsely: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only told Mr. Guan Ge that you were in poor health and needed to rest. I really didn't know about the house arrest! During your rest period, I asked to see you many times, and His Highness the Crown Prince thought you needed to rest.
Because, no consent is given.
The old emperor knew that the minister's request for an audience was rejected by the prince. Seeing that his expression was sincere and not fake, he immediately believed him. After the knot in his heart was relieved, his expression became much warmer and he comforted him and said: "Gu Qing
"If you go to Xinbeihai to stay for a while, I will still call you back."
"Cough~cough~cough~" Gu Yi coughed violently and begged: "Your Majesty, I am old and not in good health. I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand the wind and cold in northern Xinjiang. I beg your Majesty to have mercy. In this life, I only hope that the fallen leaves will return to their roots.
”.
Hearing Gu Yi say that he was getting old, he asked Ye Luo to return to his roots. Zhu Hengjia nodded. Gu Lao'er was indeed not young. The wind in northern Xinjiang was very strong, and he probably wouldn't be able to come back once he left. It was because he was annoyed that he was asked to go to the far north.
He helped his son put himself under house arrest. Now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with him. In that case, there is no need to be exiled so far away. He remembered that Gu Yi was from Guilin. Since he wanted to return to his roots, he simply exiled himself to Guilin. Ordinarily, exiled prisoners should go back to their hometowns, but there was no need to do so.
This is a rule, but the Ming Dynasty was an empire of imperial power. The emperor’s words were greater than the law. No matter where you were exiled, it was just a word from others!
"Gu Qing, why don't you go to Guilin so that you can come home more often?" the old emperor said gently.
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." Gu Yi cried even more vigorously, this time with gratitude.
Seeing Gu Yi's grateful look, Zhu Hengjia smiled with satisfaction. He wanted to send a clear political signal to the Conglong Meritorious Group by giving Gu Yi a lighter sentence. I still have heroes like you in my heart. I am good and you are talented.
Okay. There is nothing I can do. He is not a descendant of Taizu, but a descendant of his brother Zhu Xinglong. His position is unfair and he relies on the support of these Conglong heroes.
The news that the emperor was lenient and dismissed Guge Lao spread like wildfire, and the heroes of Conglong cheered.
Many of these heroic families are married and are inextricably linked to each other. In this coup, there were only eight honorary ministers who won titles: Duke Yan Xiaoyong of Fujian, Marquis of Xingye Yang Fuchen, and Marquis of Wuchuan Bai
Selected works, Pucheng Hou Ma Bao, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin, Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce. Most of the family members of honorable ministers feel that the punishment is too heavy, but these titles were obtained by the men of their own families on the battlefield with real swords and guns.
What was gained by life is just gone? There is an endless stream of people asking for intercession and asking for help. Since the Holy One has opened one opening for Gu Yi, he can open other openings.
At the Duke's Mansion of Dian Kingdom, Shi Qiwen summoned his son Shi Xiaozhong, "Son, prepare yourself and intercede with the Holy Father."
"Pleading for mercy? Father, which family are you going to plead for?" Shi Xiaozhong asked.
"Which other family could it be? Of course it's Uncle Ruyan's family!"
"The Duke of Fujian? Father, you didn't let your son take Yan Xiaoyong in, which led to his tragic death. Now, the Yan family is involved in the seduction of the family and has been demoted. Why do you want to plead for their family again?" Shi Xiaozhong was puzzled.
Questions from the ground.
"Confused," Shi Qiwen pointed out: "My father didn't let you take in Yan Xiaoyong before, because he was afraid that trouble would come to the door and bring trouble to our family. Now that the Holy Lord has given Gu Yi a light sentence, it shows that his anger with the old man has dissipated and he does not want to pursue the matter further.
At this time, interceding on behalf of the Yan family will not only gain their gratitude, but there is no risk. Besides, as an official in the court, reputation is very important. Our family and the Yan family are family friends. If we refuse to save someone, if word spreads, others will
They say our family has no loyalty."
After listening to his old father's words, Shi Xiaozhong was impressed by his old father's political wisdom. He did favors without taking risks. It seemed that he had a clear understanding of the world and the way to master human relations, and he still had to learn more!
The father and son entered the Qianqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit.
Seeing Shi Qiwen, who was hobbling on crutches, Zhu Hengjia was very enthusiastic and asked with concern: "Shi Qing, I heard that you were sick a while ago, are you feeling better now?"

"Your Majesty, a while ago I heard that the Dragon Body was ill, and I was so worried that I fell ill from depression. I am old, old, my bones are useless! Now that I see that the Dragon Body has recovered, I will
Don't worry." Shi Qiwen burst into tears at the drop of a hat, wiping his tears with the back of his hand while crying.
Zhu Hengjia was very touched. These old brothers still have feelings for me! Hearing that I was sick, he also became seriously ill. Unlike some people, when they heard that I was sick, they went to curry favor with the crown prince and seize the door.
The old historian has no involvement at all.
His attitude became more and more kind, "Shi Qing has always been loyal, I know that. By the way, what's wrong with your leg?"
"It doesn't matter, it's just an old injury from the past! In the battle of Baima Mountain, you laid out pockets in Yuncui Valley to surround and annihilate the Ding Army. Yan Tianfeng defended the entrance of the valley, and the old minister forced the Ding Army into the valley and was injured." Shi Qiwen recalled with high spirits.
Reminiscing about the past.
"The battle was indeed fierce. If Yang Huai hadn't protected me, I would have died on Baima Mountain." Zhu Hengjia also fell into memories.
"Yes, Your Majesty, that battle was so tragic. Not only was I injured, but Yan Tianfeng was also injured, and the generals' uniforms were all stained with blood."
"Yeah".
"After the war, Yan Tianfeng told the minister that he stood firm at the mouth of the valley and thought several times that he would be loyal to His Majesty, but unexpectedly he did not die."
"Shi Qing, you keep talking about Yan Qing, maybe you want to plead for Lao Yan's family." Zhu Hengjia came back to his senses.
Shi Qiwen leaned on crutches and knelt down with difficulty. Shi Xiaozhong also knelt down hurriedly, "Your Majesty, in terms of merit, Yan Tianfeng is much greater than me. Now, Yan Xiaoyong has a rebellious son in the Yan family and has been demoted. I dare not intercede for that rebellious son."
, It’s just a pity that all the young and old members of the Yan family have lost their titles and don’t know how they will make a living in the future?”
After Zhu Hengjia listened, his impression of Shi Qiwen became a little better. These days, favors are as thin as paper. When they heard that something happened to Lao Yan's family, many people were afraid to avoid him. But Shi Qiwen not only did not avoid suspicion, but was willing to stand up for him.
Lao Yan's family is talking! What is this? This is loyalty! If he can be loyal to his friends, he can be loyal to me!
After thinking for a while, he said: "Shi Qing, what you are saying is that Yan Tianfeng has done great service to me and to the Ming Dynasty. The whole family cannot be implicated just because of a rebellious son. Let's demote the Duke of Fujian to the rank of Marquis of Min.
Yan Xiaoyong's younger brother Yan Xiaoyi succeeded to the title.
"Old minister, I would like to thank His Majesty for your grace. Your Majesty's grace is so great that it will never end." Shi Qiwen was so excited that tears filled his eyes.
The emperor once again opened a hole in Lao Yan's family, and gave him a lighter sentence, from seizing a title to demoting him. When the news came out, there were many petitioners, crying and noisy. Without him, which one of Conglong's meritorious officials had no merit?
p>
The old emperor had no choice but to demote Wuchuan Marquis Bai Wenxuan to Wuchuan Bo, and Pucheng Marquis Ma Bao to Pucheng Bo. Ninghai Bo He Jiuyi, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin, and Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce were changed from Shijue to
To lose a title is to remove the title after three generations.
The only exception was Yang Fuchen, the Marquis of Xingye. Yang Guowei, Yang Fuchen and his son made great contributions to him in supervising the country and proclaiming himself emperor. Yang Guowei also died on the battlefield. The old emperor was grateful for the past contributions of the old Yang family and did not demote the old Yang family.
They just exiled Yang Fuchen to Fuzhou and changed the title of Yang Fuchen, Yang Fuchen's younger brother, to the title of Marquis of Xingye.
This has always been the case in the Ming Dynasty. As long as you can find someone to intercede, big problems can always be reduced to trivial matters.
