Regarding Yang Hong's self-incrimination, Zhu Qiyu did not speak directly, but pondered for a moment, turned to Yu Qian aside, and asked.
"The Ministry of War is in charge of organizing the military garrison. Yu Qing thinks, how should I deal with the Marquis of Changping?"
After hearing this, for some reason, the elders below breathed a sigh of relief. .
It wasn't because of Yang Hong, but because they didn't even notice it. In fact, the emperor's thunderous act of sending Ren Li to prison just now made everyone fearful.
This fear does not come from the emperor's decisiveness, but from the emperor's sudden change.
The most frightening thing in this world is actually only one thing, and that is the unknown!
They are not afraid that the emperor will control the overall situation, nor are they afraid of the emperor's brutal methods. However, they are afraid that they know nothing about the emperor, and that all their previous understanding of the emperor is wrong.
This unknown fear is the scariest thing!
Fortunately, the emperor's words just now made the boss finally regain some sense of familiarity.
However, these people obviously did not include Yu Qian. After hearing the emperor's question, he stepped forward steadily and held his hands in his hands.
"Your Majesty, in accordance with the regulations drafted by the Ministry of War, during the process of clearing the land, those who take the initiative to truthfully report the number of acres can be given a lighter punishment depending on the circumstances. Those who voluntarily offer hidden acres and who sincerely repent can be exempted from punishment as appropriate if they have not committed a serious crime. "
"I don't know what the specific circumstances of the crime of invading military villages and privately reclaiming civilian land mentioned by the Marquis of Changping are. However, since the Marquis of Changping is willing to cooperate with the court and take the initiative to replenish the land, I think that he can be exempted from punishment as appropriate to show his majesty's kindness and kindness. .”
These words were quite satisfactory and did not surprise the courtiers.
In fact, since the emperor asked Yu Qian, it showed that he wanted to let the Yang family go.
After all, Yu Qian had secretly interceded for Yang Xin in his words just now.
At this moment, Yang Hong was again accepting the punishment. No matter whether it was emotional or rational, Yu Qian could not go too far.
Of course, another very important reason is that Ren Li has been arrested and sent to prison.
Although he was not arrested because of the military camp, he was so fiercely opposed to the imperial court's rectification of the military camp that he was imprisoned. For the Ministry of War, he was already a deterrent.
Therefore, Yang Hong could naturally escape.
Sure enough, after Yu Qian finished speaking, the emperor nodded slightly and said.
“The imperial court reorganized the military garrison, firstly, to restore the laws of the ancestors and clarify the legal principles; secondly, to strictly enforce military discipline and strengthen the border protection army; thirdly, it was to relieve the imperial court’s financial urgency. .”
"Purifying the discipline and severely punishing those who dare to invade and occupy military camps is also to punish the past and correct those who come after. If we stick to this, it will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals, which is not what I want."
"Although the Marquis of Changping committed a crime, he fought for the country as a soldier. After the civil war, he stood firm in the Xuanfu and made meritorious service to the country. Although the merits and demerits cannot be offset, the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings."
"The Criminal Department?"
Hearing that his name was called again, Mr. Jin quickly stepped forward with pain and joy and said.
"I'm here."
"The case of Marquis Changping's occupation of military garrison is also handled by the Ministry of Punishment in conjunction with the Ministry of War. The national law is supreme and cannot be blasphemed. The Ministry of Punishment investigates this case and must act impartially and investigate thoroughly."
"A family in the Yang Mansion has been a member of the Yang family for generations, and has contributed to hundreds of battles in the country. The lintel title of the family must not be damaged because of this. In addition, other people should be punished, and the Ministry of Punishment should act in accordance with the law."
"I obey the decree. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Ministry of Punishment will do its best to try the case impartially."
Mr. Jin Lao Shangshu nodded in agreement, making it clear.
The emperor's words are very clear. There is no need to worry about the punishment and the judgment. However, the bottom line is to retain the title of Changping Marquis.
Of course, under this premise, if no serious crime was committed, the lives of the Yang family should not be in serious danger.
However, after this battle, the Yang family is bound to suffer a lot of blood, and it is uncertain that the careers of Yang Xin, Yang Neng and others will also be affected.
However, no matter what, the two most important things, the title and life, were saved!
For noble families, money and property are of course important. These are not only the heritage of a family, but also indispensable things for dealing with others.
However, no matter how important these things are, they are not as important as the title.
As long as the title is still there, then as time goes by, there will always be a chance for a comeback.
Didn’t you see that a certain Duke of Feng had been a little transparent all his life, and when he turned seventy, he somehow became a duke?
What's more, after this battle, even if the Changping Marquis Mansion was so poor, no one would dare to look down on Yang Hong.
This veteran of many battles has proved with facts that he is not only capable of fighting on the battlefield, but also has the courage to fight without fear of death in the court.
If anyone wants to embarrass the Marquis of Changping, he must first weigh whether he has the same weight as Marquis Ningyuan!
Therefore, this court meeting is a real disaster for the Yang family, and a blessing and a disaster.
After this incident, although the Yang family may have fallen into silence for a short period of time, in the long run, it has truly begun to lay the foundation for the family.
At the same time, above Danqi, Yang Hong finally got the emperor's promise. Yang Hong never mentioned the seriousness of his sins, and immediately accepted the offer and paid homage.
"I thank your Majesty for your grace. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
As a result, the courtiers gained a new understanding of the Changping Marquis.
This old guy is not only desperate for his life, but also shameless!
However, the more such a person is, the more difficult it is to mess with.
He silently decided in his heart that after this matter is over, he must establish a good relationship with the Yang family. The bosses heard the emperor's voice above the imperial steps again.
"The affairs of the Marquis of Changping and Marquis of Ningyuan are in charge of the Third Division. Today's court discussion is still a matter of rectifying the military garrison. Do you think there is anything in the regulations issued by the Ministry of War that need to be discussed and changed again?"
In the final analysis, whether it is Yang Hong or Ren Li's matter, they are essentially a confrontation surrounding the rectification of the army.
Now that the matter between the two of them has come to an end, the last thing left is naturally the core, the Ministry of War's regulations for organizing military camps.
However, the matter has come to this, the situation has long been clear, and only the final step is left.
Yu Qian was the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was the one who presided over the drafting of the regulations. It was inconvenient for him to speak, but he never returned to the class, but still stood in the middle of Danqi.
So, almost the same scene as at the beginning of the court meeting, among the civil servants, Chen Yi, Wang Wen, Jin Lian, Wang Ao, Yu Shiyue and others stepped forward, came behind Yu Qian, and cupped their hands.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that the regulations drafted by the Ministry of War are very complete. Even if there are any shortcomings, they can be adjusted during implementation. I have no objections. Please make your decision."
At the same time, on the side of the distinguished military ministers, Feng Guogong Li Xian finally exerted his own power.
The old man stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, I have no objections. The imperial court's ordering of the army and garrison is a matter of benefit to the country and the people. Although I am old, I am willing to do my best."
"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. Over the years, although Fengguo Duke's office is in the capital, it has also purchased a lot of acres across the borders. These acres were purchased as private land, but later it was found out that they were purchased by daring people. Sold privately.”
"Every time I think about this matter, I feel guilty in my heart. Now that the imperial court wants to rectify the military settlements, I am willing to return all the many acres of Fengguo Duke's land on the border, regardless of origin, to the imperial court and use them as military fields in order to redeem them. The crime of negligence."
