Chapter 286 A man cannot stand firm if he is not ruthless
A man cannot stand firm without ruthlessness.
Liu Mingzhi knew this truth very well. He pinched the soft flesh of his waist and couldn't bear the pain like a ladder. He would be hit with a fatal blow, which would be unbearable.
Gritting his teeth ruthlessly, Young Master Liu bent his fingers and struck his cock with a powerful Vajra Finger.
"Damn, you're so strong." Young Master Liu's face turned red and he stumbled to the ground with a plop. He was not convinced that the emperor was kneeling down, but that he was kneeling down because he didn't use his own strength lightly or hard.
In one word, kneel down, my bird.
The pain was unbearable, and Liu Mingzhi burst into tears immediately and lay down on the floor tiles of the hall. Uninformed people thought that he was truly convinced by the emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, you want me to make the decision for you. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and Yamen are so high-ranking that they want to punish me on the spot even if I disagree with you. I have no choice but not to resist, otherwise Your Majesty will never see me again. Your Majesty, make the decision for me. !”
All the people in the Dezheng Hall looked at Mr. Liu who was kneeling on the ground in shock. It was obviously you who hit him, but you still used that kind of insidious move.
Prince Li Baiyu looked at Young Master Liu who was kneeling on the ground with a dark look. This guy was really the companion chosen by his father for him. I'm afraid this was a joke.
In particular, the officials who had been severely beaten by Mr. Liu looked at Liu Mingzhi who was kneeling on the ground angrily. We are the ones who suffered. How come you are the one who was beaten?
Director Ding even covered his mouth and started to moan, but he couldn't speak clearly.
Song Yu glanced at the emperor, who was also sitting on the dragon throne, and was relieved when he saw that he had no murderous intent. It would be better to let this bastard suffer a little, as long as his life was safe, he didn't have to worry about it.
Li Zheng looked at Mr. Liu, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling a little: "Liu Aiqing, it's obviously you who caused trouble with the officials, but why does it seem like you were wronged?"
"Your Majesty, please allow me to tell you what happened."
Li Zheng frowned and thought for a moment: "Quickly play."
Young Master Liu pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, I feel aggrieved."
Liu Mingzhi told the story of what happened in the staff department in detail without any concealment. He knew that if the emperor wanted to know what happened in the staff department, it was just a piece of cake, so it was better to speak frankly.
After listening to Liu Mingzhi's explanation, Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at the officials below, especially Director Ding, who had directly endured 80% of the pressure.
Subjectively, he had already believed Liu Mingzhi's words. The imperial edict was written in his own handwriting and was proclaimed by the eunuchs he personally sent. There was no way it could be false.
Liu Mingzhi's title and house were rewarded with golden words. At that time, all the civil and military officials in the court heard and saw, so why did they frame Liu Mingzhi for forging the imperial edict?
No one knows the crime of forging an imperial edict better than Li Zheng. This person not only wants to put Liu Mingzhi to death, but also wants to exterminate the Liu family.
There is no blood feud to kill his family, but this person's heart is really cruel, and he will eradicate the roots to avoid revenge in the future.
Song Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the imperial edict was written by you in your own hand, and the title was rewarded by your eloquent words. The head of the Ministry of Personnel was indiscriminate and wanted to detain Mr. Liu pending trial. In the end, he even wanted to have him imprisoned. Execution on the spot, this is not in compliance with the legal system. Without a court trial, without recording a confession, without making a decision, you directly execute an honorable person on the spot. I am really ignorant. This Chief Ding has such great official power, Xiaoxiao The chief dared to put a prince to death on the spot. If he became a minister in the future, wouldn't he be planning to rebel and kill the king? Master Ding is very heartbroken. I suggest that your majesty put him in a prison to await trial. Who gave him this? His courage allowed him to act so unscrupulously. Mr. Liu is a baron, and he is the same as a fifth-rank official. Although he has no position, he has a position. The sixth-rank official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel treats a fifth-rank official like this, and treats a superior officer with such arrogance. It can be seen that How flamboyant he is towards his subordinates."
Song Yu was worthy of being the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he had the intention of sending Chief Ding into a place of eternal destruction. He not only denied Liu Mingzhi's charges, but also shied all the charges on Chief Ding.
Director Ding was so frightened that he trembled like chaff and couldn't wait to kneel down on the ground and began to moan.
It took him a long time to finally fill in the omissions of Liu Mingzhi from a few words. He said that the imperial edict Liu Mingzhi took did not have the emperor's jade seal on it, so he believed that Liu Mingzhi had forged the imperial edict.
The emperor only thought that Chief Ding was quibbling. He wrote the imperial edict himself. It was impossible for him to forget to put the jade seal. If there was no seal, Zhou Fei would definitely remind himself.
But since Chief Ding said so, Li Zheng couldn't just send him to the prison, but he already believed the words of Song Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Because the Ministry of Personnel controlled the promotion and appointment of officials, he usually behaved arrogantly. He had long heard that, due to Du Chenghao His face was only slightly reproachful, but he didn't expect such a big trouble to occur.
Du Chenghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Tao Chenghua, the left and right ministers, and Sun Wenhan also came out and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Song's one-sided words have covered up Liu Mingzhi's murderous crimes. As an official of the Ministry of Personnel, how could Chief Ding have mistakenly acknowledged the imperial edict? If Chief Ding really intended to frame Liu Mingzhi, why would he have been invited to the Tantric Chamber? Ji, this is unreasonable."
"Your Majesty, I agree with what Lord Du said. Baron Liu Mingzhi's murder is real evidence. All the colleagues in the official department have seen it. Your Majesty, please be clear about it."
Seeing his boss speaking for him, Director Ding kept kowtowing hurriedly.
Li Zheng glanced at everyone, and no one seemed to flinch: "In this case, where is the imperial edict? If it is true or false, submit it to the imperial edict and you will find out."
Li Qi, the imperial guard, held the imperial edict left in the Ministry of Personnel in his hand and walked out: "Your Majesty, this is the edict."
Li Zheng signaled Zhou Fei to take the imperial edict over. Zhou Fei took the edict from Li Qi and walked up the steps, placed it on the dragon case, and stood aside to wait.
Li Zheng gently opened the imperial edict and saw that the handwriting was his own, but there was no jade seal printed on it.
Li Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked solemn. He gently opened the scroll of the imperial edict. There were some unique symbols of the imperial palace on the jade scroll, which can be said to be a kind of anti-counterfeiting mark.
No one knows this kind of mark except the inner court supervisor who made the imperial edict. Even the ministers don't know that there is this mark on the scroll wrapped in the imperial edict. Generally, if the official who receives the imperial edict does not put up the incense case to offer it, whoever dares to desecrate the imperial edict will naturally not be punished. It will be clear that there is such a sign here.
Li Zheng looked carefully at the handwriting on the imperial edict, which was no different from his own handwriting. In that case, why was there no seal?
Could it be that someone forged his own imperial edict to frame Liu Mingzhi? , but besides the people in the palace, who else can get the blank imperial edict? Moreover, he is extremely familiar with his own handwriting, and it can be said that he imitated it perfectly.
Li Zheng frowned, could it be Prince Qing? Only he had some conflicts with Liu Mingzhi, but it would not lead to his family being exterminated.
Although Li Zheng, the King of Qing, would be furious, he would not punish him in front of all the officials, but what if it was someone else? How could Li Zheng not be shocked that someone could take away the imperial edict without him knowing it?
Li Zheng calmly glanced at the few personal eunuchs around him, and Li Zheng felt a murderous intention in his heart.
