Above the main hall, the officials were whispering.
Yang Shan's face was secretly proud, he wanted to rely on these country dirt-legged people to get over, and he was dreaming!
When it comes to eloquence, let alone a country woman, even if all the people present are put together, she may not be at a disadvantage.
When Tang Xinggu used his own power to fight against the Confucian scholars, he was just an ordinary censor under him.
As for Mrs. Zhang lying in a pool of blood, in his eyes, she was as lowly as an ant.
Zhu Qizhen, who was sitting on the dragon throne, seemed to have a layer of frost covering his face.
He never expected that this woman was so chaste and loyal that she would die to prove her innocence.
It happened so suddenly that there was no time to stop it.
What chilled him even more was that among the officials present, except for Tang Xinggu and a few others who showed concern for Zhang on the ground, most of them were indifferent.
This is a kind of disregard for life.
Thinking back to the Badaling Blockade, when I saw those innocent people being slaughtered by the enemy, I felt so angry that I directly chose to go out of the city to fight with my passion.
Nowadays, these well-dressed civil servants say they love and care for the people like their own children, but when a living life falls at their feet, they choose to turn a blind eye.
Zhu Qizhen felt a surge of anger rising from his heart and going straight to his forehead.
He really wanted to issue an order to pull out Yang Shan, chop him up with a knife, and pay for this poor woman's life.
However, he cannot do this.
Yan Shenggong's move was the last counterattack of the civil servant group. If they want to implement the New Deal, their plan must be completely shattered without leaving any room.
If you intervene forcefully, all previous efforts will be in vain.
If you want to win this battle, you must win it openly. It is better to kill people than to kill them!
Thinking of this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Huai'en, send the person to the Imperial Hospital and order him to do his best to treat him!"
Before Huai'en could answer, Yang Shan said: "To report to the emperor, this woman did not observe women's rites and was suspected of making false accusations. When she saw the matter was exposed, she committed suicide in fear of guilt. I thought..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and said, "I told you to send him to the Taipei Hospital!"
Yang Shan frowned and said: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Qizhen was furious: "Shut up!"
Yang Shan still wanted to argue, but seeing the killing intent in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, he subconsciously swallowed his words.
He suddenly realized that the situation seemed not as optimistic as he imagined.
Huaien walked down, called two young eunuchs to come forward, and sent Zhang to the Taiyuan Hospital.
Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, and then said: "I heard that the Sanfa Division is preparing to make the final trial of Yan Shenggong today?"
Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Punishment, stepped forward and said: "Back to the Emperor, that's right!"
Like Yang Shan, he had been prepared for a long time. Now that he had decided, he had to face this moment.
After the implementation of the New Deal, it will be like the sun and the moon changing to a new sky, and the advantages that we have worked hard to accumulate over the past few generations will be gone.
If we don't try hard now, there will be no hope in the future.
Zhu Qizhen tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and asked: "During the trial, the public has been allowed to visit this case?"
Yu Shiyue thought for a while and said: "Justice lies in the heart of the people!"
"What a justice that pleases people's hearts!"
Zhu Qizhen sneered: "Isn't that Zhang just a human being?"
Yu Shiyue remained calm and said: "There are also unruly people among the common people. Zhang has misbehaved and is suspected of frame-up. He cannot represent the people of the world."
"Tell me, who can represent it?"
Yu Shiyue thought for a moment and said: "A person who has read the books of sages and understands things is probably a person who keeps to himself."
"You have studied, right? Do you know how many schools there are in Yu County? How many children are there? Duke Yansheng's government is ignorant of education and wants Yu County to close schools. Who is ignorant?"
"As far as I know, most of the people taught in Yuxian schools are heretical. No matter how many schools there are and how many children are enrolled, they are not reading the books of sages and do not understand the principles. Duke Yansheng is responsible for the education of the world and should rectify it.
This is a matter within the scope of Yanshenggong Mansion."
Zhu Qizhen added: "Then, the evidence, witnesses, testimonies collected by Jin Yiwei these days, as well as the confessions personally acknowledged by Kong Yanjin and others, it is also within the scope of Yan Shenggong's mansion to engage in thieves, smuggling, and careless management of human lives.
?”
"Back to the emperor, after a thorough investigation by the Three Law Departments, most of the sects provided by Jinyiwei were beaten and converted. It is true that the Yanshenggong Mansion is connected with thieves. As for the sale of private salt and other smugglers, they were all done by the servants of the Duke Yansheng Mansion.
Kong Yanjin did not know about it and should be held responsible for the oversight. He can be ordered to strictly rectify the government affairs and hand over those involved to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation and handling according to law."
Facing the emperor's questioning, Yu Shiyue remained calm.
Anyway, the reputation of Jinyiwei has long been ruined. As long as I insist that I surrendered and got the move, it will be obvious whether all the officials and scholars in the world will believe in Sanfasi or Jinyiwei.
Zhu Qizhen has completely lost his patience. Facing such a group of guys who only consider their own interests, he has no sympathy at all.
The history pen is as sharp as a sword. Their biggest advantage is that they have the right to speak in the world, and they can even call a deer a horse and confuse right and wrong.
Then, let’s settle it!
"Your Majesty, I thought..."
Tang Xinggu saw that the emperor was frustrated, and was about to step forward to have a verbal spat, but saw the emperor wave his hand at him.
He was shocked, this was obviously a trap, and Sanfa Si wanted to anger the emperor and remonstrate to death in the name of Bo Zhongzhi.
If the emperor orders the imperial staff at this time, or forcibly interferes with the situation, then he will really lose!
Even if Duke Yan Sheng is convicted, millions of scholars in the world will not be convinced. They will think that you are a foolish king, and they will imitate Yu Shiyue and remonstrate directly. Even if they are beaten to death, they will never tire of it.
This is the routine of Wenchen Qingliu. Once upon a time, he himself was one of them, and he knows the secrets inside best.
The game between king and minister is far from simple as it appears.
However, the emperor was not as angry as he imagined, but said calmly: "I believe many people are interested in seeing Yan Shenggong's final judgment. Your Penal Department Yamen is still a bit small and has limited capacity, so why not do this?
Let’s set up a temporary execution hall outside the Meridian Gate, Cao Qing’s house!”
Cao Nai responded quickly: "I'm here!"
"The cabinet will take the lead and select some representatives from various ministries and yamen to form a review team. I am also included in this review. However, the review team can only watch and cannot interfere with the three-law judicial review."
Cao Nai was a little confused and had to reply: "I obey your order!"
Zhu Qizhen then said: "The decree is sent to Shuntian Mansion to maintain order in the city. If the people in the city come to observe the trial, no matter who they are, they are not allowed to stop them. What do the Yu Qing family think?"
Yu Shiyue frowned and thought secretly in his heart. It seemed that the emperor was planning to let ordinary people come to watch.
Although the previous interrogation stage was open to the public, most of the people who came to observe the interrogation were scholars.
As for those mud-legged people, can they still affect the market trend?
As long as you, the emperor, don't interfere, the Sanfa Division will definitely overturn the situation!
He secretly made up his mind and replied: "I obey your order!"
…………
ps: Some friends thought they had guessed the plot trend when they saw a part of the plot similar to "The Powerful Minister"?
Just kidding, how could I let you guess...
As for those who complain about my slow coding, well, I am really slow, feel free to complain...
There are about 10,000 words left in this volume, and a new plot will begin in the next volume, striving to reach 6,000 a day.
At that time, if I can't do it, then I will say it again...
