Chapter 762 Trial (Part 2)
.The seats in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice have never been placed like this. After the big case under the screen in the Rivers and Hagues, there are the chief master of the cabinet. There are a lower desk on each side of him, with the Minister of Justice and the eunuchs of the Department of Justice. Go down, behind two tables on the left, the left censor and the Dali Temple Minister, and behind a table on the right, there are the commander of the Jinyiwei; further down, they are each of their deputy positions, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of them, obviously doing the work of the clerk.
Such a luxurious lineup is just to interrogate a small fifth-rank doctor. This is without precedent in the Ming Dynasty, and it is probably the first time in two thousand years.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to call this case the "No. 1 case in the world".
All the priests here have foreseen that interrogation will be very difficult, but they never imagined that just for how to enter the door, they could argue to this point, not only openly but also secretly. Everyone was secretly awe-inspiring, and the eyes of the world were staring at it. Under the general trend, the personal honor and disgrace were all between a thought, a word, and a action.
Only Hai Rui turned his back to the lobby and sat indifferently on the threshold, as if all disputes had nothing to do with him. He only focused his eyes on the blue sky. Between the flowing clouds, a thought arose: I don’t know if my soul turns into flowing clouds after my death. Can it float back to Qiongzhou and stay with my mother forever...
Just as everyone was worried, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the main entrance. A purple-clothed eunuch ran to the lobby in a blink of an eye. He breathed a little while and said, "The emperor said, Hai Rui's sins have not been seen in this dynasty and have not been seen in all dynasties. It is not applicable to the regulations of the "Da Ming Law". He is wearing a lock and being tried, so there must not be any mistakes."
Everyone hurriedly answered the order, and Eunuch Wu seemed to have chicken blood and smiled proudly at Hai Rui, "I heard it, what else can I say? Climb in quickly."
Hai Rui just received the order and knelt down. Now he stood up with difficulty, looking at the villain's successful Eunuch Wu, and said lightly: "I refuse."
"Why do you refuse?" Eunuch Wu stared at the boss, thinking that you have eaten the courage of the bear heart?
"Officials are the constitution of the court. Personal honor and disgrace are small, but they cannot lose the face of the court." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "I am an official in the court. How can I learn to crawl and damage the face of the court?"
"Holly's mouth." Eunuch Wu laughed in anger and looked at Xu Jie and said, "Gei Xu, you have heard it too. What should I do to such a crazy person?" He wanted to force Xu Jie to torture Hai Rui.
"What he said makes sense." Xu Jie said slowly: "The emperor only said that he would be tried in shackles, but he did not let him crawl in."
Eunuch Wu thought to himself, isn’t this nonsense? No matter how ridiculous the emperor is, it is impossible for people to crawl in? Thinking of this, he simply kicked the ball to Xu Jie: “What do you think you should do? No more trial?”
"As long as he has not been dismissed, he has to take into account the face of the court. My father-in-law said, right?" Xu Jie looked at him calmly, and Eunuch Wu nodded in confusion. Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "Drag him in."
Before Huang Guangsheng could issue an order, the two sixth-rank chiefs standing at the door of the lobby stepped forward and rushed forward in front of the roster, setting up Hai Rui on the left and right... But no matter from any angle, their actions could not be tied to "drag" me, and they should be replaced by "rack".
Whether it was a "drag" or a "rack" Hai Rui was brought into the lobby.
Eunuch Wu was so angry that his nose was crooked and he didn't dare to get angry at the big guys. He had to say to the two little officials: "Okay, you are very nice, what are your names?"
The two sixth-rank officials were not afraid of anything and said loudly: "My name is Zhao Jin!" "My name is Feng En!"
"Okay! OK! OK!" Eunuch Wu said three times, "Okay, the word "Okay", and then said to his secretary: "Remember it!"
After much trouble, everyone finally got their place. The masters looked at this shocking monster and found that he was not astonishing as he was thin and short, but his eyes were so bright that he was shining.
Huang Guangsheng took a deep breath, slapped the gavel and said, "Suming the hall!"
Three yamen runners used water and fire sticks together, rhythmically hitting the ground, singing in a low voice: "Wei...wu..."
Taking advantage of his power, Huang Guangsheng said: "Please give the imperial edict."
Eunuch Wu stood up and said, "The emperor ordered the case of the Cabinet, Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Censorate, Criminal Office, and Ministry of Revenue Department of Yunnan Qing Literature." He paused and said, "We must severely punish this traitor who is crazy and slandering the holy reputation!" The adjutants of the six yamen brought up the pen and recorded it in the file. No one knew which copy or which copy the emperor would read, and it might be possible to read it all, so they were completely disgraceful.
Before Huang Guangsheng could speak, Zhu Heng, the new right-level censor who was sitting in the lower head, spoke, "Dare you dare to ask Eunuch Wu, your last sentence is really out of your edict?"
"This." Eunuch Wu said unhappy: "This is our family's expectation. What are your opinions?"
Because Zhu Heng offended Chen Hong, he was sent to Nanjing in his prime, and spent more than ten years of light and shadow. Therefore, he hated the eunuchs. Although his tone was still slow: "The emperor ordered us to discuss Hai Rui's crime. Before he started, his father-in-law condemned the crime first. I don't think there is any need to retrial." But he can make people angry to death.
Eunuch Wu understood that today, thousands of swords and swords were greeted by him. Of course, he had only received it on behalf of others. What they really wanted to deal with was his master! Thinking of this, he pulled down his face and said in a deep voice: "When did our family condemn him?"
"You just said that he was 'skeptic and slandering the holy reputation', and now he doesn't recognize him?" Zhu Heng also said in a deep voice.
"Our family says this, not a conviction." Eunuch Wu snorted: "Our family is just expressing their opinions, it's not that serious, right?"
"Since the Holy Order is to be tried, we must follow the "Da Ming Law"." Zhu Heng said: "Ask the case first and then convict it."
"The emperor said that Hai Rui's crime exceeded the provisions of the "Da Ming Law". "Eunuch Wu grabbed the key points and said to Zhu Heng: "But you still have to follow the "Da Ming Law". Could it be that you want to resist the order?"
Zhu Heng was strong and was furious on the spot and said, "What we follow is the law of our ancestors, and the law of our ancestors is the "Da Ming Law". If we do not follow the law of our Ming Law, we don't know how to judge the case and why we convict it?!" As he said that, he was about to give up and said, "Why don't we withdraw, Eunuch Wu will do it according to your method!"
Eunuch Wu thought that, but what occasion is now? And the inquiry records must be revealed in the world, so he immediately won’t be able to see Xu Jie, the only good man in the hall, and said, “Gei Xu, what do you think you should do?”
Xu Jie then spoke and said slowly: "You must listen to the sages, and you must also abide by the "Da Ming Law" and take into account both ends." The old assistant retired in the future, and you can find a living on the construction site...professional and mixed.
Huang Guangsheng looked at the prime minister's eyes. Although he could not fully understand his meaning for a while, his position could not change. He coughed and said to the hall: "According to the "Da Ming Law" Regulations on the Questioning Case, officials should sit and be tried before they are dismissed." He said, "Come on, bring him a bench."
Eunuch Wu was dissatisfied again, but if he objected, he would get tired of it, so he simply ignored him, but he still shouted to his own secretary, saying, "Remember it, it's Huangbutang who can sit!"
Huang Guangsheng twitched the corners of his mouth, but he didn't tell the difference. Instead, he suddenly slapped the arbor and said, "Let's start the trial!" Eunuch Wu didn't raise it, and was so scared that he shivered, and couldn't help but spat in a low voice: "Hate!"
Hai Rui sat on a long climb, and the burden on his body finally became lighter. He moved his wrists and neck gently, but his waist was straight... In the eyes of others, he was arrogant and arrogant. In fact, he knew his pain. With a slight bend, he would be so painful that he would break.
Huang Guangsheng looked at Xu Jie, meaning you always say a few words first? Xu Jie closed his eyes slightly and had no idea of making a sound.
It seemed that he could only come by himself. He asked Hai Rui: "Is the person sitting in the hall sitting?"
"It's right down." Hai Rui replied seriously.
"Do you know why you are being tried?" Huang Guangsheng asked.
"I don't know." Hai Rui said lightly.
"Random..." Huang Guangsheng shouted in a low voice and said, "It would be useless to refuse to admit his guilt." As he said that, his eyes floated across the hall: "Everyone here has read your memorial, it is indeed... too bad."
"It's not just bad!" Although I know that I'm annoying, Eunuch Wu has to say that, who made the Sili blockers so cunningly? If he didn't say anything, who would make the emperor stand for? Then he shouted: "Hai Rui, as a minister, you wrote a memorial to bark at the sun and swear to scold the king and father. It's really a ruthless thing!" As he said that, he looked at the great masters and said: "Do you have any objections to this?"
Seeing that no one said anything, he stopped talking proudly, which set the tone for the whole show. No matter how you play tricks below, it is impossible to be too far away.
"Why do you need to go into such a spur?" Huang Guangsheng sighed inwardly and entered the topic.
"Since you have read that memorial, you should still remember that the name of the lower official said it very clearly." Although he was weak, Hai Rui's voice was very loud: "This memorial is to 'reform the king's way, to clarify the duties of ministers, and to seek public security for all ages."
"What a big tone." Eunuch Wu sneered: "You have to be righteous and have to be clear about your ministers, and you don't look in the mirror to look at your face. What power do you have to manage? You also declare your ministers, who has given you the power to manage the six ministries and nine ministers, and the major affairs of the world?" The more you said, he said angrily: "You dare to scold and scold the emperor every word, is this your minister?!"
Hai Rui didn't look at him, and looked at Huang Guangsheng. Huang Guangsheng coughed lightly and said, "Answer the words of Eunuch Wu."
"The sage said, "Please listen to advice and actions, and the way of the king and the ministers." Taizu once said: The minister's position is to make a frank advice, and there is no silence." Hai Rui then said: "Talking advice is a natural duty for ministers. Although Hai Rui's official position is small, he is also a minister. Why can't he speak?"
"All the court officials, the censors are in front of you. Is it your turn to be an irrelevant doctor in the Ministry of Revenue?" Eunuch Wu sneered: "I think you are just crazy, just to invite a name!"
"Haha, crazy, to invite a name for a name." A trace of sadness flashed across Hai Rui's face: "Compared with all the officials here, I, Hai Rui, are indeed at a low level. And there is another one, I am just a juren, all the officials in the court, who are not two Jinshis and students of the emperor? They are more qualified to advise the emperor than me." As he said that, he raised his head and said: "In the past few years, the national treasury has been deficient every year, and the north has been famined. So many refugees and victims are hungry and worshipping the ground, but the court has insufficient pensions, southeast, southwest, northwest, east, southeast, and east
The people in the north are as chaotic as soup and boiling, not to mention that the Mongol cavalry in the north are fierce, and the gangs in the south are not exhausted. To put it clearly, the Ming Dynasty is already in a serious and in danger!" After a pause, his eyes became sharp: "Since Hai Rui entered the capital, he has seen the emperor devote himself to his own efforts to cultivate his mind, build a large number of buildings, favor alchemists, and absurd and negligent policies. The Qing dynasties, the Qing dynasties, protect themselves, and remain silent. The turbid slandered and took the opportunity to scrape. Where can I still have money to provide disaster relief and fight in the Ming Dynasty?"
"Everyone knows these things, but everyone keeps silent!" Hai Rui looked at the great masters with a bright look and said, "Hai Rui has no intention of career, but since he eats the king's fortune, he should fulfill his duties as a minister. Now that the emperor has made mistakes, it is the responsibility of the minister to advise him. Since you don't say anything, let me tell you!"
The Lords blushed when he said it, and those who had files in front of them lowered their heads and wrote quickly to cover up the embarrassment on their faces. The officials of the court had nothing to hide, so they could only tighten their faces and put on a solemn expression. But there was a mixed feeling in their hearts, and some people even wanted to cheer for Hai Rui, but of course they could only think about giving up...
"Don't talk about the great truths that are heard!" Eunuch Wu couldn't help but said, "You little official, you don't know the details of the true details, just talk nonsense."
"Then let me tell you the details of the true details I know." Hai Rui was so scared that he said sharply: "I am the head of the Yunnan Qingli Department of the Ministry of Revenue, and I have all the accounts related to Yunnan. Let me give you an example... As he said that, he pointed to the pillars in the lobby and said:..." For the emperor, the pillars used were mostly transported from the deep mountains of Yunnan to the capital. How much does one cost? I wonder if you have ever cared about it?"
Even if everyone knew, they would not say anything. Hai Rui did not expect anyone to answer him. He echoed in the lobby with an angry voice: "The Ministry of Revenue Account clearly records that a pillar of the government consumed 50,000 taels of silver! More than a hundred migrant workers were killed and injured along the way!"
"So much money?" Several adults who didn't know the true identity couldn't help but say, "How is that possible?" What is the concept of 50,000 taels? It can build a magnificent palace.
"It's this money." Hai Rui said sorrowly: "I recorded the whole process, peeling my skin layer by layer, and I dare not say it in detail. I don't know how many people have fallen to the ground when I ask!" As he said that, he took a deep breath and said: "My sir, I, Hai Rui, are not instructed by anyone, just for the country and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the people of the world."
The lobby was very quiet, only Hai Rui's sonorous words and the lingering sound was lingering!
Seeing that everyone was suppressed by Hai Rui, Xu Jie had to speak, and he slowly said, "You are a bit exaggerating and exaggerating. The national affairs are caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and all factors. How can you blame Your Majesty and the officials?" He paused and said, "Who said that the emperor and the court do not care about the people? When the Maritime Bureau received the money, they allocated them to the Ministry of Revenue to provide disaster relief. Don't you know this?" He paused and said, "The state affairs are difficult, and the king and ministers work together to make a concerted effort. It is just right to turn it around, instead of being angry and scolding, which cannot solve any problem." His words sounded like accusing Hai Rui, but there was no lack of protection.
"What the Master of the Pavilion is saying." Hai Rui said seriously: "If I want to get out of the crisis in the Ming Dynasty, the only way out is to help the king and his ministers, but the premise is that Your Majesty gives up Xiu Xuan and cheer up again. Just as the criminals said in the memorial, "Your Majesty is a wise man, and you can be a wise man, you can be a wise man, and you can be a yu, Shun, and Yu, Tang, Wen, and Wu." "All things are all done, and they are just a matter of your Majesty's cheering up!"
After hearing this, Xu Jie still remained calm, but in fact he was very relieved. He always thought that Hai Rui was a stinky stone and only knew how to be stubborn, but he didn't expect that he was also spiritual and knew how to whirlwind and whirlwind.
"So you have pleaded guilty?" Eunuch Wu was excited when he finally called himself a 'criminal'.
"As long as Your Majesty can give up Xiu Xuan and cheer up again." Hai Rui said without any change.
At this point, there is actually nothing to say, but it cannot be concluded like this. The emperor will definitely curse. Huang Guangsheng had to use some conventional questions to count: "Can you conspire with someone to write this memorial? Have you seen it for others in advance?"
"Does the Secretary of Huangbutang still discuss with others first?" Hai Rui lowered his eyelids and said lightly: "No one has seen it."
"Is anyone instructed me?" Eunuch Wu asked again.
"I am not a slave who listens to others. Who can tell me?" Hai Rui said coldly.
"You..." Eunuch Wu was so angry that he slapped the table and said, "It's so arrogant! Master Xu and all the masters, you have seen this person's crazy and unruly and unfairness. I thought that if I didn't move Sanmu, the case would not be concluded, and it would be difficult for the emperor to reply!!"
Xu Jie had to answer positively at this time. He stroked his beard and said: "Hai Rui's words and deeds are really unreasonable.
But he was an imperial criminal, and it is not up to us to decide whether to punish him or not.... He said that and said, "Please ask for instructions."
