"It is allowed to have ill-considered decisions when discussing matters in the political hall."
"But regarding this matter, Shi Yusi can just prepare an edict as soon as possible according to my wishes, and give a warning to the scholars!" Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice.
Yan Qing had no choice but to thank him. At this time, Shen Shixing bowed and said, "I have received great kindness from Your Majesty. Even though the dogs and horses have worked hard, we should repay it!" After saying this, Shen Shixing and others kowtowed to the ground.
As a result, Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Zhu Hongmo and others abandoned the market, and more than a dozen scholars who stopped taking exams and prevented others from taking exams were executed.
The six subjects did not dare to refute it again.
"We have tried our best!"
"But we have no choice but to fight, so it won't help." On this day, Cifu's official residence. In the cold spring breeze, Shen Shixing changed into his regular robe, took off his Liang crown, stood outside the court, and told Wang Xijue, who had come to ask the reason for his final decision to kill Wu, Zhao and others.
Wang Xijue glanced at the official residence of the Chief Assistant, and then nodded: "I guessed it!" Then, Wang Xijue said goodbye and left Shen Shixing.
After watching Wang Xijue leave, Shen Shixing relaxed and said to himself: "Spring is great, it's the time to let go of the old and welcome the new."
"Zhang Puzhou has not been fought, so it has not been achieved?" Gu Xiancheng asked confirmingly after learning Shen Shixing's reply from Wang Xijue.
Wang Xijue nodded. Shen Yiguan, the Minister of Rites who was also here, said at this time: "It is difficult to violate the holy will, but if a person can still be saved, it is best to save him again."
"We already have a way to save people, but it will take some time."
"Zhang Puzhou is so cowardly that he fails to preserve his virtue every time he commits a crime. But this time, we can't kill anyone again!" Li Sancai stood up and said.
Wang Xijue hurriedly asked Li Sancai: "What can I do?" Li Sancai did not answer Wang Xijue's question, but only handed over to Wang Xijue: "I just ask you to continue to talk to Shenwu County and others when the time comes. Although on the Jiangling matter , the public discussion of the world and the temples failed to reach an agreement, but killing Confucian officials again is probably not what we want to see!"
"This is natural!"
"I will also tell the elders, even if it offends the powerful! It's really until things can turn around." Shen Yiguan nodded first and started talking.
Wang Xijue did not agree directly. He just shook his head, picked up the tea, took a sip, and then gave Shen Guanyi a leisurely look.
Xu Guo, who was also at the side, saw Wang Xijue shaking his head and asked in a low voice: "Why is the Lord shaking his head?"
"Did I shake it?" Wang Xijue asked back. Xu Guo replied solemnly: "Shake it." Wang Xijue saw that Li Sancai, Gu Xiancheng and others were also staring at him: "I shake my head for no reason. You just need to understand that I only have my own sense of proportion, but you also know the taboos." Go forward and retreat, don't blame others when things really can't be done!" After saying that, Wang Xijue excused himself and asked everyone to leave him.
Three days later. Outside the Ming Dynasty Gate where the white snow had not yet melted, a few sparrows had just stopped when suddenly a gust of north wind carrying yellow sand appeared and flew to the branches on one side.
At this time, several common people in commoners knelt over, opened a large cloth with many people's names written on it, and shouted: "The Emperor Ming, 1,564 people, jointly beg me for help." The emperor shows mercy and forgives the death penalty for the Confucian ministers!" After a while, a sudden wave of yellow sand flew over again, and another group of people appeared outside the Ming Dynasty Gate.
"One thousand, five hundred and sixty-four people from the Emperor's Ming Dynasty jointly request our Emperor to show mercy and forgive the death penalty of the Confucian ministers!" These people shouted in the long yellow sand. They couldn't help but squint their eyes, bury their heads lower, and just opened their mouths. , it was still unavoidable to take a sip of yellow sand.
However, more and more people came to gather outside Daming Gate, and soon they became a large group. Zhong Shizhong, the commander guarding Daming Gate, hurriedly sent someone to report it to the superiors.
Soon, the ruling ministers of the Political Affairs Hall knew about this, and they all rushed to the Daming Gate. They saw that the dim and turbid world was full of kneeling people.
A long piece of cloth with names written on it ripples in the yellow sand, but the names are not clearly visible.
"Is this their method?" Shen Shixing asked Wang Xijue with narrowed eyes. Wang Xijue held up the beam on his head and said, "It's hard for them to imagine that they can call so many people to come and plead for mercy! But, do you think that Your Majesty will be merciful?"
"It's still the same sentence, thunder, rain and dew are all for your kindness!" Shen Shixing said.
"The common people have come to plead for mercy. Wu, Zhao and others may be saved!" Yu Youding frowned at the side and spoke to Zhang Siwei.
"Yes!" Shen Shixing also said with a smile. At this moment, he looked at Yu Youding and said, "Let's quickly enter the palace to meet the saint." Yu Youding nodded, and then he and Shen Shixing, Pan Cheng, and Zhang Siwei , Liang Menglong, Zhang Xueyan and others left here.
Wang Xijue glanced at the departing ruling ministers, and then walked towards Shen Yiguan: "Why didn't you speak to the ministers just now?" Shen ****: "How dare you make remarks to protect the party!" Wang Xijue was quite surprised. He glanced at Shen Guanyi in surprise, and then stopped talking to Shen Guanyi.
After Shen Shixing returned to the political hall, he immediately asked to see Zhu Yijun.
"His Majesty!"
"There were many people outside Daming Gate interceding for Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian and others, many of them were elderly."
"I believe that the punishment of Wu, Zhao and others may really go against the public opinion of the world, so I ask your Majesty to spare them the death penalty because they are ignorant of the matter and are good at making rhetoric and have extenuating circumstances!" Zhang Siwei said in After seeing Zhu Yijun, he rushed to talk to Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian before Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers. At the same time, he also gave Zhu Yijun a step down, and first thought of how to excuse these two people.
Zhu Yijun said very calmly: "I already know about this."
"Your Majesty! I request Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian to be sentenced to death by breaking their carriages apart!" But at this time. Shen Shixing suddenly knelt down, changed his previous mild attitude, and said: "Taking advantage of the people to protect the party is no longer a sign of dissatisfaction with the New Deal. The comrades of Wu Zhongxing and others have reached the point where they do not hesitate to coerce the people for the selfish interests of one party." To the point of destroying our country!”
"I believe that it is not an exaggeration for them to be Ling Chi! However, Your Majesty has issued an edict in advance to permanently depose Ling Chi to the Han people who are not collaborators with the enemy and traitors. Therefore, I boldly ask Your Majesty to dispose of them by breaking the chariots! In order to be honest!"
"I second the proposal!" Pan Cheng knelt down and said, "In order to protect the private party, they do not hesitate to coerce the people to join without asking for permission. This trend cannot last! The next step is to coax the people into rebellion, so we must be strict! You can do it in After the car is broken, Your Majesty will just scrap the car and break it, but now we must use stricter methods to stop this trend!"
"I also agree!" Yu Youding finished his sentence: "To stop this unhealthy trend, we must either kill Wu, Zhao and others, or massacre the people outside, exchanging the tragic deaths of a few deserving people for the lives of thousands of ignorant people. That’s enough!”
"Your Majesty, I think so too!"
"Your Majesty, there are still ministers, I second the proposal!"
"Your Majesty, this trend cannot last forever, and I also agree with you!"... Zhang Xueyan, Liang Menglong, Yan Qing and other ruling officials all turned into hardliners at this time, as if they had already discussed it together to show off to Zhang Siwei. .
Zhang Siwei looked at this scene with a look of shock and anger, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead involuntarily, and his throat kept moving up and down at this time.
