Gou'er knew that Zhu Di was in an extremely bad mood, so he cautiously advised: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will just watch quietly. The Duke of Fu is indeed feeling guilty. The news from Xianglin Temple also said that after the Duke won the case, he did not feel guilty at all."
Arrogant and proud, he..."
Zhu Di said: "Lian knows." [Yang Xu is owned by the state and benevolent to Lian. Two heads of the White Lotus Sect died in his hands. How could he collude with the White Lotus Sect? If he had any objections, he would have done it during the Liaodong Campaign.
, he should have been looking for an opportunity to stay in Liaodong for a long time without returning, but he couldn't wait to come back, and he and Wanshiyu Zhang Xin, who he single-handedly supported, did not have close contact with each other since then."
Zhu Di paused, and then said: "If someone files a complaint, it is natural to investigate. In a major rebellion case, how can the joint trust replace the function of the director? The joint investigation of this case is to know who will jump out, and what will happen?
Who wants to pull down Lian's arm? Is it the King of Han who is still determined, or is there still Xu Huizu, Geng Changxing and his like lurking in the court?"
"Naturally, the joint mission of Sanbao went to Shandong to find out what was going on with the Peng family. Even if it was a false accusation, it would have no impact at all. No one would dare to use it to falsely accuse Yang Xu.
But Lian didn’t expect that the person who deceived Lian the most was actually Yang Xu!”
Zhu Di sneered and said: "What about those people who lost their lives for no reason in Shandong Mansion? The dead people will not be seen alive! The Peng family's ships have been doing business on the sea for a long time, and unexpectedly nothing happened sooner or later. Sanbao just brought them back."
The news said that not long ago, several large ships that the Peng family went to sea, including the people and the ships, were "buried at the bottom of the sea"! Do you think it is a coincidence or an unlucky thing?
The Lin family colluded with the big thief Shi San, but nothing happened sooner or later. As soon as Ji Gang found out about Putai County, there he wiped out a group of thieves who had been hiding in Putai County for decades. But the big thief Shi Song actually followed suit.
He was killed for trying to escape. These coincidences, one after another, even if there is no evidence, can Lian be deceived like an idiot? "
Zhu Di shouted so sternly that all the servants in the palace fell to their knees in shock, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Zhu Di said: "Yang Xu, he has no objection to the couplet. But what he said in the couplet is all cunning excuses. The Peng family has friends from all walks of life, so there is inevitably some evil behavior in the family? Huh, you said it so lightly, Peng
Is this illegal business of the White Lotus Sect?
Foolish people and foolish women, if you are willing to repent, it is okay. We, the Ming Dynasty, will destroy the White Lotus Sect when we establish our country. But in our Ming Dynasty, many soldiers, generals and commanders were also members of the Ming Sect. Dog, do you know what Lian hates the most?
It’s deception! Just because you think you have it, you can forget about the principles of monarch and minister? You are called a loner, but you don’t want to be a loner!
Lian had great trust in him and never treated him badly, but Kejia... actually thought that Lian was so easy to bully, so he actually bullied the king! Not to mention, what else had he done to cover up the truth? Which one was not a crime?
From the country? He is so capable, Jinyi Nanzhen is willing to use it for such things! Just now, Lian Lian gave him a chance, but he is still stubborn!"
Gou'er hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not.
Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "When did you learn how to tell a lie? Just let it go!"
Gou'er smiled awkwardly and said: "Yes! I like martial arts but not studying! The emperor often taught me that in order to be sensible and do big things, I still need to read some books. After listening to the emperor's words, I followed the instructions in the palace.
My husband also read some books. I feel that Duke Fu's loyalty to the emperor is genuine. The reason why Duke Fu deceived the emperor is just because... he doesn't understand the emperor's thoughts. This is because God's heart is unpredictable!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Gou'er licked his lips and said: "Your Majesty, the book I listened to Mr. Ting said... The people of Su should be respected as the Lord of Heaven and Earth!"
"Um!"
"The slave thought that what Mr. Sir said is right. Heaven and earth are the basis of human existence and foundation. Heaven and earth are equivalent to being one with human beings. If heaven and earth did not exist, where would people be? Therefore, people do not serve themselves.
That’s what it means to be punished by heaven and earth!”
Although Zhu Di was angry with Dangfeng, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard this bastard who didn't study misinterpret the sage's principles.
Gou'er said again: "The next thing is the king, and then the relatives. But people in this world may not always put the king first. There are those who respect the king first and then the relatives, and there are those who respect the relatives first.
Those who love the king before respecting the emperor. What can the king give to the ministers? Fame, wealth and future. What can the relatives give to others? Only family affection. Those who respect the emperor before relatives are for fame, wealth and wealth, and put their relatives aside.
Before the king, the most important thing is friendship!"
Zhu Di's expression changed, and he raised his brows and said, "According to you, he deceived Lian because he was affectionate and righteous?"
Gou'er said politely: "I haven't read for a few days, so I can't tell you the truth. I just think that, and Duke Fu must also have thought about it. If he tells the truth to the emperor, he will have to kill his relatives out of justice and help the emperor kill him."
He left his wife and his father-in-law and his whole family. But he hid it from the emperor. With his ability, he managed those family members, taught them well, let them follow the right path, do proper things, and don't make trouble for you, the emperor. That's it.
I won’t do anything to disgrace you, Your Majesty, so wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?”
Zhu Di hummed: "With all the work he has done to Lian Li and the great kindness he has given to saving Lian's life, if he tells the truth to Lian, will Lian still force him to kill his relatives? Will Lian not be merciful and pardon his father-in-law's crime?"
Gou'er said: "Your Majesty, Duke Fu is the human heart. Your Majesty, you are the human heart. How can you guess the human heart of the Heaven?"
Zhu Di glanced at him and asked: "What benefits do you get from accepting Yang Xu? Do you want to speak for him like this?"
The dog knelt down and kowtowed quickly: "I don't dare, this slave. I am loyal to the emperor! I only have a few encounters with Duke Fu, and there is no close relationship at all. The slave is angry with the emperor because he deceives the emperor, and he also
I pity his talent and love his skills, so I have the courage to tell the truth!...
Gou'er has been with him for so many years. Zhu Di doesn't believe this. When it comes to contacts, among the eunuchs, only Zheng He and Xia Xun have the most contacts. If Zheng He said this, he might still want to intercede for Yang Xu. Gou'er
Saying this must be to comfort him.
Gou'er said again: "Your Majesty, think about what a powerful emperor Taizu was at that time. Who was not afraid of the emperor? At that time, Fuguo Gong was just a guard in the palace. Because my wife
He was taken away by his mother-in-law and he dared to miss his duty at the court, and ended up getting slapped by Emperor Taizu. How dare you say that he should stand on duty first and then ask for leave, even if it is
Why don't you pretend to be sick to the general in charge and go pick up his wife? But he dared to make Emperor Taizu angry!"
Zhu Di thought for a moment, curled his lips and said, "Humph, you are just a cowardly bastard who has no respect for a woman!"
Zhu Di opened his mouth to curse, but a smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Mu En tiptoed to the door of the palace and whispered: "Your Majesty, Ji Gang has finished his punishment and is here to thank you!"
Zhu Di shouted with a straight face: "Tell him to get out!"
Ji Gang really crawled in. Firstly, the injury on his buttocks was too serious. Both buttocks were smashed and he couldn't stand without help. Secondly, he also deliberately looked pitiful. Ji Gang climbed into the hall and asked Zhu Di. He kowtowed his head and said in a trembling voice: "Ji Gang, thank you for your kindness!"
Zhu Di snorted and said, "Do you know why Lian wants to beat you?"
Ji Gang said quickly: "Yes, I know that I am not strict with my subordinates, and Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan dare to make big plans and trap the Duke in order to please me..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense! Although the Peng family is not a religious bandit, they are guilty of accidentally handing over to bandits. Zhu Tu and Chen Yunan made false accusations, or due to oversight, they jointly What are you doing to make me angry? What makes Lian Lian angry is that you took this legitimate official matter and mixed it with selfish motives. For your own personal grudge, you set fire to the Great Baoen Temple in an attempt to arouse Lian's murderous intention!"
"ah?"
Ji Gang was stunned when he heard this, and he wanted to explain, but the emperor had already decided. He had just been beaten. Fortunately, the emperor had no other punishment measures. He was already thankful, and he didn't dare to speak harshly.
Little did he know that the reason why the emperor did not pursue the serious crime of framing the Duke was not because the emperor was partial to him, but because the emperor asked Zheng He to go to Shandong Mansion for an open and covert investigation, and he already knew it. The person they accused and the crime they accused were actually correct at all, but they were just too stupid to find any evidence to prove it.
Zhu Di said: "You set fire to frame the case, but you didn't dare to really go to war. You only burned a pile of wood and the eaves of a side hall. You are still afraid. I have always been diligent in doing things because of your association. This time, I will only beat you fifty times." Stick, if there is another act of using power for personal gain in the future, don’t blame them for joining forces and being ruthless!"
Ji Gang swallowed his saliva and kowtowed helplessly: "Yes! Sir, I'll fight for the Emperor's mercy!"
Ji Gang was well aware of Zhu Di's stubborn temper. Now he tried to argue that he was not the one who started the fire. Not only did Zhu Di not believe it, but he also felt disgusted. He had no choice but to suffer the loss of being dumb. While he kowtowed, he cursed in his mind: "Chen Ying , you bastard! You set fire to the Great Baoen Temple, but you want me to be beaten with a stick. We are not done with this!"
"Okay, stop kowtowing and go back! Heal your injuries and atone for your sins by behaving obediently!"
"Yes, it's the wind..." Ji Gang crawled out on his knees again, asked two royal guards to help him up, and limped out of the palace.
Ji Gang had just returned to Jinyiwei and asked someone to carry a bamboo couch and lie down on it. Ji Younan jumped over to him and reported to him: "Sir, that old boy Chen Ying added insult to injury and called the Imperial Guard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The envoys have filed reports one after another, accusing Your Majesty of using personal revenge to frame the Duke of our country. My Lord, that old boy is trying to get you to death!"
"My grandma will do it..." Ouch!"
Ji Gang jumped halfway, then fell back to the couch in pain, causing the bamboo couch to creak and scream. Ji Gang vented all his resentment on Chen Ying: "Send someone to keep an eye on Chen Ying." , keep staring, as long as you let me catch you, I will definitely make you die, huh!"
After Ji Gang left, Zhu Di said sadly to Gou'er: "Gou'er, here you go, everyone has selfish motives, even close relatives and close relatives cannot avoid it. This time Ji Gang used his private affairs in official business. Although he did not accuse him wrongly, he still
What about once? The Lianhe asked the Jinyiwei to supervise all officials, but when the Jinyiwei has selfish motives, who will supervise the Jinyiwei for the Lianhe? Who else can the Lianhe trust wholeheartedly? "
Gou'er hurriedly comforted him and said: "Your Majesty, please be at ease. Everyone has emotions and desires, and naturally some selfish intentions are inevitable. Grandpa Taizu set up three departments in the local area to share the power of the Military and Government Department. In the military department of the imperial court, there was a Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
There are six departments in political affairs. Even the department of power, in addition to the Ministry of Justice, there is also the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise each other. As long as the various government offices supervise each other, it will be enough to work diligently for the emperor. Although the slaves are not very literate.
, but I often hear people say that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, that’s the truth!”
Zhu Di's eyes lit up: "Each government office supervises each other..."
