"Your Majesty," Li Heng (human race), the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came out, "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, you have cared about the people, sympathized with your ministers, and always taught your ministers to be loyal to the emperor and love the people.
The recent events have truly put the ministers to shame. I beg your majesty to punish them severely in order to revitalize the government. "
"I second the proposal," Zhou Ha (human race), the censor of the right capital, also came out, with a high and upright air. "If the rule of law is unfair, the country's weapons will be shaken. This is the foundation of governing the country. Please allow your majesty to be arbitrary."
It's like singing in an opera, it's to show off the face of the immortal cultivator.
But everyone has heard about what Shuyi did. It was a treasonous rebellion and completely violated the rules of the world.
What can they say, that there are extenuating circumstances, that there is precedent?
I can't explain it clearly.
Xu Mochen glanced at the two of them with satisfaction. Sure enough, the human court officials were very discerning after being forged.
The Minister of Punishment was helpless. This matter was said to be the responsibility of Dali Temple, but in fact it had nothing to do with him. He had no choice but to stand up and plead guilty: "Your Majesty, a humble minister has neglected his duty in this matter. I will ask for the punishment myself."
Xu Mochen smiled: "As long as you have your heart, I'm not a foolish king who doesn't understand the truth.
What Dali Temple does has nothing to do with the Ministry of Punishment, and punishment cannot be indiscriminate. "
The Minister of Punishment saluted: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Tang Derun, read out the decree," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "Let all the officials listen to it."
Tang Derun stepped forward and started reading aloud.
It was mainly aimed at the treatment of Dali Temple. The causes and consequences were clearly explained. Tan Shuyi, together with Qin Muran, openly controlled the Queen Mother, threatened the emperor, and attempted to usurp the throne. The evidence was conclusive and they were executed immediately.
This execution was naturally a process. Tan Shuyi had died long ago and his body had decomposed.
Seeing that the situation was over, Qin Muran had already dispersed in the prison, and he didn't even know where his soul had gone.
But the process is still needed.
The two of them also had their own mansions in the capital, as well as hidden families. Xu Mochen ordered their homes to be confiscated and exiled.
It was originally a crime to punish the Nine Clans, but here Xu Mochen mentioned the "contributions" of the two people and gave them preferential treatment.
Everyone knows very well that those are actually innocent mortals.
The matter was decided like this, and all the officials cheered in unison: "Your Majesty is the most arbitrary king in the world. He is the most wise king in the ages."
Xu Mochen waved his hand: "If I am still like that, it is not me or the ministers who have the final say. It will be judged by future history."
Everyone felt as sick as if they had eaten flies, but they still wanted to continue flattering.
After a long time of excitement, the matter was finally settled.
"Your Majesty," the Minister of Punishment took out a memorial, "the reversal of the verdict of the clan of the former Southern Wei Kingdom has now involved the rest of the people who have subjugated the country. They all came out to complain, causing rumors and barbarism among the people. All the ministers wrote in In the memorial, please ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision."
Now that they are here, what this group of people is really concerned about is what happens next.
If Tan Shuyi dies, he will die. What does it have to do with them?
The fun is yet to come.
Your Majesty, don’t you think that we will give in so easily?
We are all honest and loyal ministers!
The chamberlain handed over the memorial. Xu Mochen opened it and looked at it. Someone else made a sound below.
The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, these countries were originally hostile forces to Da Gan. During the process of unification, Da Gan sacrificed many men. Now that they heard that the verdict was to be overturned, many military officers and generals were indignant. I'm worried that if it lasts a long time, it might trigger a mutiny."
"Yes," said the Minister of Civil Affairs with a solemn face, "Back then, many officials were involved in the arrest and handling of the case.
Now these people are making noises, saying that they have grievances. Once they are investigated, how should the officials who handled the case handle themselves? "
As soon as the two took the lead, the hall suddenly became chaotic.
"Yes, these are good words from a loyal minister. Your Majesty must listen to them."
"If you do this, it will be cold and dry.
The hearts of the generals and officers have been shattered for a long time, and our country is in danger of subjugation. "
"Your Majesty, what these gentlemen said are all words that are mature in planning for the country. They are loyal to the king. The sun and the moon can be used as a reference. I hope your majesty will think twice."
"Wei Chen believes that the top priority is to immediately withdraw the decree and severely punish these clamoring madmen."
"The humble minister seconded the proposal. Your Majesty, please issue an order today. We will handle it immediately to put an end to the rumors."
"I beg your Majesty to take back your decree."
It's coming, it's coming, the targeted expansion is finally here.
What does it mean to withdraw the decree? It means that the emperor was wrong and needs to admit it.
This is the first step, and the second step will force you to punish yourself.
If you punish yourself, you can do more.
The people do not know the truth, and with a little guidance, they will immediately develop distrust of the emperor.
In this way, let’s see how you cope with the national destiny!
Behind the courtiers, the human court officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, General Administration Department, and Dali Temple all had ugly expressions on their faces.
Among the nine ministers, they are in departments other than the six departments.
For a while, I couldn't find the key to refutation.
The hall became more and more chaotic, and some extremely loyal people even burst into tears.
If you don't listen to them, this country will be destroyed.
Xu Mochen clenched his fists in his sleeves, "Good guys, I haven't even said anything yet, and you've just put on such a show."
In this case... He stood up slowly.
Everyone stopped moving, as if they had been cast a body-holding spell, and stared directly at the emperor.
"My dear friends, you want me to take back my intention to investigate the case," Xu Mochen's tone was very slow, but there was a solemn tone in his voice, "Please note that I have always emphasized the investigation of the case, not what my dear friends said. "Reversal of verdict". "
The officials were confused, isn't this the same thing?
"You may feel the same way," Xu Mochen said a little helplessly, "there are some things that lovers still need to think carefully about.
Reversing the verdict means that everything that happened before was wrong.
And when I talk about investigating cases, I mean putting order out of chaos and correcting some unfair and wrongful convictions.
At that time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice tried the case and the Dali Temple reviewed it. I believe that the vast majority of the cases were fair.
Do you both think that everything is a wrong case? "
The Minister of Punishment was stunned. He was a cultivator of immortality, and he had no problem flying to the sky and escaping to the earth, but he was an amateur when it came to thinking about fine vocabulary.
The newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple (human race) sneered and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that most of the judgments are correct, but only a small part of the problems were caused by the selfish motives of the previous Minister of Dali Temple.
The minister requested your majesty to initiate a joint trial of the three departments immediately to deal with the real grievances as soon as possible.
Those who take advantage of troubled waters must be severely punished and will not be tolerated. "
Xu Mochen was very satisfied. Look, this is the talent that governs the country.
Good boy, you understand my feelings.
"Do you understand now," Xu Mochen walked down step by step, "I am not worried at all about the "rumors and grievances" you mentioned.
Why, because these are people with ulterior motives.
For such people, the law will never be lenient.
Come and declare my will! "
