"ah!"
"It hurts!"
The Dongchang Banner School pressed the flaming iron on Abuquina's white skin covered with chest hair, and a smell of burnt feathers immediately arose.
And Abu Kui screamed very miserably because of this. He clenched his hands into fists and squeezed them tightly, and beads of sweat fell from his forehead.
Therefore, Sun Yunhe walked over from the wall where the portrait of King Yue was hung and said: "I have tried many people in Dongchang, but this is the first time I have tried this white-skinned pig. However, the hair of this white-skinned pig is too special." The more it is, the more flavor it will have!”
Sun Yunhe couldn't help pinching his nose as he spoke.
At this time, Abu Kuize looked at Sun Yunhe with aggrievedness and said: "Dear Ming Dynasty official, please forgive me for my sins. I regret very much for the crimes I committed, and I am willing to confess all my sins!"
Sun Yunhe smiled and said: "Sure enough, you white-skinned pigs won't be able to carry it for long. I thought you guys, with your rough skin and thick flesh, could carry it for a while."
After saying that, Sun Yunhe continued to ask: "Tell me, why did you suddenly appear in Fang Shaoqing's mansion? Did you collude with him? What is your purpose?"
Abu Kui Shao had to explain everything one by one.
…
"This Abu Kui is really dishonest!"
Zhu Youxiao said something after learning the latest investigation results about Fang Yizao from Dongchang Wei Zhongxian.
"Businessmen have a habit of thinking that they can use their convenience to win people's hearts and influence the situation of the government. It is their own fault that they have ended up like this! It's just a pity that there are ministers in the government who really speak for them, and they call it the euphemistic name: the country is the king outside the country and the law is inside. , For such treacherous people who are greedy for profit, intend to manipulate the situation of our Ming Dynasty, and plan for their own interests, it is useless to use royal teachings. No matter how kind the farmer is to the snake, it is still difficult to change his cold-blooded nature!"
Yuan Keli said something at this time.
Wei Guangwei followed up and said: "This matter was also caused by Castro and others being sentenced to death. Presumably he was afraid that he would end up in this fate. Is the law of our court too harsh and causing unrest both internally and externally? I think something should be done about this." Discussion, after all, the Qin Dynasty had only two national destiny due to its strict laws, and all the Ming dynasties had the policy of abolishing torture. Now it seems that the laws should be changed, and I ask for your Majesty's advice."
"Whether Qin's national destiny is not long-lasting because the legal system is too strict is not discussed here, but I believe that for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, it does not mean that they can be reformed by giving a lenient sentence. Some people are bad in their bones, and they should be punished if they are too harsh. Being lighthearted will only encourage their evil arrogance! Before I came to the throne, and since Hongwu, those who are greedy for ink will not be killed, and those who abuse the people will not be punished. Benevolent monarchs and wise ministers in all dynasties have always set an example in order to influence them. As a result, the corruption of officialdom in the world has intensified, and society has become more corrupt. Gang Chang's corruption has also intensified. Now that I have come to the throne, I have governed the country with strictness. Although there are still those who are greedy for ink, the administration is good and the people are safe. It can be seen that strict laws are effective! Nowadays, the world is richer than before, and the nobles are not satisfied with fresh clothes. Angry horses, delicacies from mountains and seas, want to be more unrestrained, more free, pursue the pleasure of not being restricted by the law, and want to distinguish themselves from the common people in terms of the law, I know! However, my great enlightenment is not just the great enlightenment of the nobles; If the Ming Dynasty of all people restrains the powerful for the sake of the peace and contentment of all people, then the significance of this decree is just a tool for the nobles to control the common people, and it is not enough to reflect my will!"
Zhu Youxiao said.
"His Majesty is the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, and all decrees must reflect His Majesty's will! This cannot be discussed. At the moment, whether it is Abu Kui or Fang Yizao and other officials who are cheating, they all want the decrees to reflect their will. This There is already a desire to be arrogant, and it is not just as simple as forming a party for personal gain or even taking bribes. Therefore, if we do not punish them with strict laws to prevent the slightest improvement, we may only endanger the country in the future!"
Fang Congzhe said a few words with a solemn expression at this time. He understood His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts and still habitually supplemented the Emperor's meaning.
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered: "Now that Abu Kui has confessed, the evidence is conclusive. Dongchang will immediately arrest Fang Yizao and other court officials who colluded with Waifan Abu Kui!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
…
"Abu Kui was captured by Dongchang?"
Fang Yizao asked in shock the person who came to inform him of the news.
The man nodded: "Yes, I don't dare to stay here for a long time. You don't need to know who our master is. You only need to know what the holy intention of Abu Kuei's arrest is, and then what countermeasures should be taken." .”
Fang Yizao took a few steps back and murmured: "What countermeasures can we take? The arrest of Abu Kuei is obviously aimed at us people. The holy intention is already obvious. He refuses to compromise on the harsh punishment laws. I'll wait." Death is certain."
As Fang Yizao spoke, he turned around and shouted: "Prepare the car!"
Not long after, Fang Yizao took a car to the residence of Liu Zhengzong on the right side of the Criminal Division, and whispered: "Just now, a big shot from Dongchang came to tell the news that Abu Kui was in Dongchang Prison. According to the past Case, next, if eighty percent of us are hit, we will definitely die! Obviously, the Holy Will still advocates the rule of law with strict punishments and refuses to loosen the laws, so that the powerful scholars and officials are subject to the same strict laws as the common people!"
"In this case, there is still no hope of being as free as the powerful scholar-bureaucrats in the past! Now that it is difficult to escape the death penalty, I don't care about it. Although this tyrant is not stupid, he is not a blessing to us. Anyone with an official title will You have to live with your tail between your legs. If you continue like this, even if you have fine clothes, fine food, and a hundred mansions, but you can't dominate and bring blessings, what's the point!"
Liu Zhengzong said.
"In this world, the strong are respected. How can people be equal? Even if the nobles are guilty of the same crime as the common people, they cannot share the same laws. Otherwise, it is against human nature! Why don't you understand, Your Majesty?"
Fang Yizao sighed.
"Since he doesn't understand, we should all go outside the Daming Garden before being arrested by Dongchang to make trouble for him and cry out in pain. Anyway, he will be punished with death. If we can make him wake up, he will be a rentier in the world. Such blessings, I will be praised even after death!"
As he spoke, Liu Zhengzong added: "This must be the reason why the big shot sent Dongchang's detail to inform us of the news in advance."
…
"The weak eat the strong, which is the way of nature. I know that everyone has the nature to be more valuable than others. I also know, but the problem is that in the Ming Dynasty, the strongest one is me. I am the only one in the world, not them, naturally. I can do whatever I want, not them, otherwise it will not be in line with the natural way of heaven! I want everyone in the Ming Dynasty to have the same crime and the same law, so they will have the same crime and the same law. Therefore, I said that this is the embodiment of my will to rule. As Yuan Fu said, I am the master of the Ming Dynasty, and all systems and regulations must reflect my will!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "If any of you don't want to reform the government according to my will, then you can only change the emperor."
Fang Congzhe and others heard what Zhu Youxiao said and quickly replied: "I don't dare!"
At this moment, shouts came from outside the political hall of Qinzheng Palace.
