Yang Wei chuckled: "You talked to me about the principles, but have you taught yourself the principles?"
"Regardless of who instructs you, isn't it against etiquette and law for you to burn down the palace?"
"Is there anyone in the world who is not afraid of the strictness of the law but is willing to die as a martyr?"
After Yang Wei said that, he left the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
At this time, Zhao Jin, the censor of Zuodu, and Wang Zhuan, the minister of Dali Temple, were waiting outside.
Zhao Jin first asked: "Is it done?"
Yang Wei nodded.
After hearing this, Wang Zhuan said: "That's good!"
It's dark outside now, chilly to the bone, and the sound of rain is rapid, like the beating of a small drum.
Yang Wei put on a deep red cloak, then got into the sedan and said: "Go to the chief minister's official residence!"
Zhao Jin and Wang Zhuan also followed, shaking their cloaks.
At this time, Chief Assistant Shen Shixing was surrounded by a group of courtiers at the Chief Assistant's residence.
"I dare to ask Yuan Fu, what is going on with the burning of the palace? Are what Zhu Qianxian and Yang Fengxian said true?"
"Yeah, a few days ago Yang Fengxian also said that something big was going to happen in the near future, but he didn't expect that this matter would actually burn down the palace, damage our country's foundation, and it was actually related to Yuan Fu. Doesn't Yuan Fu have anything to say?"
"The emperor does not live in the main palace, and even wants to move to Xiyuan. It is probably because of this incident. But God knows clearly, who dares to do such a rebellious and unethical thing, and who dares to be so bold? If Yuanfu is really like this, Yuanfu doesn't know what he is doing. motivation?"
…
After the courtiers confessed through Zhu Nanyong and Yang Youren that they were ordered by Shen Shixing to conspire to burn down the palace, they all came to Shen Shixing to ask questions. At this time, just like the media in later generations, they all talked about it. He asked Shen Shixing tongue-tiedly.
Shen Shixing just looked at the rain curtain outside the eaves and said nothing.
This made many civil servants even more excited.
"Yuansuke should retreat to prove his innocence!"
"Yes, the truth may not be that important, but what is important is whether Yuan Fu is a power-hungry person or not!"
After Shen Shixing finished these questions, he smiled and said, "How could I do such a thing that destroys human relations when I have received so much favor from the country? Even if I really destroy human relations, how could I be so stupid? Why should you trust the words of a female cadre?" Word?"
"Of course we don't believe it! But the truth has to come to light. Such a shocking crime should be tried by the Tribunal of Justice and made public to the public. How can it be secretly tried by the imperial edict?"
Li Sancai spoke at this moment.
During the incident, Dai Guangqi followed up and said, "That's right! Yuan Fu can also prove his innocence and convince the world."
"From the perspective of my subordinates, even if Yuan Fu is innocent, in order to avoid suspicion, he should retreat bravely and avoid being misunderstood by the world that Yuan Fu is really in love with power."
Zhang Xigao, the hostess, continued.
"Yes, Yuan Fu should also have his own attitude. How can we not just resign ourselves to this kind of thing, but really want the world to think that Yuan Fu is really someone who would burn down the palace to consolidate his power?"
Fan Yingqi followed and asked.
"You don't need to say more, Yuan Fu has already submitted a secret request to obtain the order. This matter will be jointly tried by the three law divisions, and all the rebels have been transferred to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
Yang Wei walked in at this time, and then bowed to Shen Shixing.
Zhao Jin and Wang Zhuan also walked over.
Shen Shixing was also busy raising his hands to return the favor.
After Yang Wei walked in, he added: "They have confessed that they indeed framed Yuan Fu, and the burning of the palace had nothing to do with Yuan Fu."
Li Sancai looked incredulous after hearing this.
He originally thought that the Tribunal Tribunal would go as planned by Yang Youren, and that Shen Shixing would take the blame for the murder of Zhonggong by self-destructing. However, he did not expect that the Tribunal would actually say that the rebel was just framing Yuan Fu, that is, He asked hurriedly:
"Confession? How did they confess?"
"Of course it is up to us, the Three Dharma Division people, to be moved by emotion and understand it with reason."
Zhao Jin said with a smile at this time.
Wang Zhuan also nodded: "Yes, everyone is a polite person, so naturally there is no need to torture to extract a confession.
After a few words of truth were told, they cried and tried to recruit everything. "
"Are they really all people who know etiquette, and don't they even go so far as to violate etiquette and law in order to gain official status?"
Dai Guangqi asked with a sneer, and then he raised his hand to Shen Shixing and said, "Yuanfu, my subordinates think that your Majesty should ask your Majesty to order Ke Dao and other officials to participate in the court trial! You can't just believe the words of the Sanfa Si!"
"Can't you even trust Sanfa Si?"
Shen Shixing asked.
"Public opinions can only be trusted when they are public discussions."
At this time, Dai Guangqi said.
"I forgot to mention that the rebels also revealed their accomplices."
Yang Wei suddenly said.
Shen Shixing asked: "Who are the accomplices?"
"Hu Keyou, Dai Guangqi in the matter."
Yang Wei said directly.
Zhao Jin followed up and said, "There is also Zhang Xigao, a member of the imperial service."
Shen Shixing pointed at Li Sancai: "Is there Li Bulang?"
"Of course!"
Wang Zhuan replied at this time.
Li Sancai, Dai Guangqi, and Zhang Xigao were stunned on the spot.
"Is there any justice left in the Ming Dynasty?!"
"Constructed directly in broad daylight!"
At this time, the censor Wang Guozuo couldn't stand it anymore, so he came over and asked loudly.
"There is also Wang Guozuo, the censor of Guangdong Province."
Suddenly, Yang Wei spoke again with a serious face.
Wang Guozuo immediately clenched his cheeks and looked at Shen Shixing: "What is the public desire for?"
Shen Shixing shook his head and smiled: "What does a servant want to do? What is the relationship between the three laws and regulations and the servant? The truth must be explained clearly."
After speaking, Shen Shixing said to the counselor Zhou Hongnan: "Let them all leave. I have other things to do."
"yes!"
Yang Wei, Zhao Jin, and Wang Zhuan all left here.
"What are you doing, sir? Do you want those who obey me to prosper and those who go against me to perish?!"
At this moment, Li Sancai couldn't help but ask Shen Shixing with a cold face.
Shen Shixing glanced at Li Sancai, picked up the tea, took a sip and said, "The affairs of the Three Law Departments have nothing to do with me. You should leave as soon as possible to avoid asking the emperor to maintain the law."
"Now that you want to frame us, you don't even care about the principles, so what else can you say about the principles?!"
Dai Guangqi said angrily at this time.
Banglang!
Shen Shixing suddenly dropped the tea cup in his hand to the ground.
"What do Jin Yiwei do for food?"
"Yuanfu has already issued an order to expel guests. Why don't we beat these lawless people out? Are we going to take part in them?!"
Seeing this, Zhou Hongnan suddenly shouted outside.
Since Zhu Yijun issued an edict to establish the official residence system, the official residence belongs to the state government rather than a private residence, and the security work is taken over by the royal guards rather than the servants of the ministers.
Therefore, Zhou Hongnan could question Jin Yiwei at this time.
Suddenly, a large group of uniformed guards rushed in and violently pushed these civil servants out.
"What are you doing?!"
"This is such an insult to my politeness!"
At this moment, Li Sancai was pushed by a Jin Yiwei. He couldn't help but get angry and asked a question.
Peng!
But at this time, Yijinyiwei kicked him away, making him sit on the steps outside, and then rolled around a few times.
For a moment, Li Sancai was beaten to pieces.
Dai Guangqi was kicked because he still wanted to argue with Shen Shixing. He fell to the ground with a bang, his front teeth were broken, and his mouth was full of blood.
And not long after, these civil servants who were kicked out were angry and started beating the drum.
winter!
winter!
winter!
For a time, drums were beating continuously in the imperial city.
