After Wu Hongji finished crying, he took the initiative to admit that he had impeached Zhang Jingxiu just to gain reputation, and asked for his removal.
Wu Hongji did this because he knew that the emperor would know about his writing of the letter of commitment sooner or later.
And since he has already written a letter of commitment, promising that he is indeed impeaching Zhang Jingxiu to gain fame, sooner or later he will be disgraced both inside and outside the government, and will be regarded as a hypocrite by His Majesty.
Therefore, instead of waiting for the emperor to ridicule him, he might as well take the initiative to resign, save some face for himself, and let the emperor know that he still knows his shame.
Zhu Yijun approved the imperial review very quickly this time. On the grounds that although he was dishonest, he confessed in a timely manner, and ordered Wu Hongji not to be severely punished. He also said that since Wu Hongji wants to gain fame so much, I will give you a Because of the opportunity, he was not dismissed from his post, but was relegated to Burma to serve as a magistrate, responsible for pacifying the barbarians and promoting Chineseization. In the future, if everyone in Burma can know Han rituals and uphold the imperial style, he will be famous in future generations.
After Wu Hongji received Zhu Yijun's imperial approval, he was stunned for a long time, and then he had to come to Hai Rui and cry to Hai Rui:
"Operator Otsuka, I have an old mother in my family. If I go to a remote place, I might make my mother sad. I would like to ask Prime Minister Otsuka to wait until your Majesty forgets about this matter and bring me back!"
Hai Rui said: "Who doesn't have a mother? Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. If your mother is a good mother, she will only encourage you to protect the frontier."
Wu Hongji saw that Hai Rui was unwilling to be selfish for him, so he had no choice but to set off south to Burma.
However, Qian Benben heard that Wu Hongji was demoted to the extreme places and Zhao Qing was ordered to be imprisoned and sentenced to death. These were all related to the incidents in which ordinary people blocked Wu Hongji. He felt deeply that this kind of behavior of mobilizing ordinary people to participate in political struggles was very harmful. It is also dangerous to go too far. He originally interceded for Wu Hongji and Zhao Qing, impeached Zhang Jingxiu, the royal guard, for threatening the people, bullying officials, and disrupting the social order. In addition to impeaching Zhang Jingxiu, he even directly criticized Zhu Yijun, saying:
"Since the departure of Zhang Taiyue, Your Majesty has indulged his followers without restraining them. He has only punished the Qing gossip officials more often, so that the channels of speech are blocked and his followers are arrogant and domineering!"
"Now, the Taiyuezi is regarded as a close minister, causing him to act recklessly and persist in evil. He has not established a prince for a long time, built a lot of construction projects, and gradually stopped criticizing memorials. He only allows the treacherous party to control the government, so that everyone in the world does not know how to fear the power of God, and the people are brave and bully. Officials and scholars are stubborn and dare to disrupt Taoism."
"I'm afraid today the people don't know how to fear officials, but in the future people don't know how to fear the king!"
The reason why Qian Yiben wanted to directly criticize Long Lin was not because he had forgotten his fear, but because he was innocent in his heart and knew that mobilizing the people to deal with them, the humble ministers, must have been approved by the emperor, otherwise officials such as Shen Shixing and Zhang Jingxiu would definitely No one would have the guts to ask the people to question the officials, or even allow the "Great Edict" to appear.
As the saying goes, if you hit a snake, it will hit you seven inches.
Therefore, Qian Yiben directly chose to approve Dragon Scale.
In this way, we can firstly remind Zhu Yijun that if you really want the people to participate in politics, it will only be harder for you to do whatever you want in the future!
Secondly, he can also gain a greater reputation and let the world know that he dares to criticize the emperor directly.
After Qian Yiben's memorandum came up, Zhu Yijun sneered: "You can't stand the people in the market talking to you so soon?"
"Because of this, one wanted to kill someone on the spot, and the other directly taught me a lesson."
Zhu Yijun knew that allowing ordinary people in the market to participate in politics and to allow people to sue officials was contrary to the orderly social rules of traditional farming civilization that emphasized superiority and inferiority.
But the problem now is that the landlord class who got rich first, represented by many scholar-bureaucrats, although they support hierarchical order, they want order for those below themselves, and equality for everyone above them. They even gradually want to control the emperor. Let the emperor be the puppet of the world, and make it convenient for the landlord class like ourselves to dominate the world, and be free to exploit the small people.
This naturally made Zhu Yijun no longer interested in this hierarchical and orderly ethical society.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun would rather let the common people participate and destroy the hierarchical order, so that those who want to become slaves of ethics cannot get what they want.
Zhu Yijun also understood why Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, wanted the entire "Great Edict". Even if Zhu Yuanzhang did not want everyone to be equal, it was so that he would not be bound by the bureaucracy.
Ever since, Zhu Yijun didn't care about Qian Yiben's criticism and reminder, but directly gave instructions:
"I have said that when we discuss things, we should discuss them. Even if we say that one specific thing I did is wrong, that is fine. But if you directly deny that I am not worthy of being the master of this world and deny my saintliness, then you are arrogant. , should be considered a rebel!"
"Such a rebellious person should be punished with the death penalty. He will immediately issue an edict to severely interrogate his comrades in prison, and after the trial, they will be sentenced to death by breaking a car into pieces!"
Zhu Yijun chose to directly execute Qian Yiben.
After Zhu Yijun's instructions were issued, the cabinet adhered to the principle that all the holy will was God's will mentioned by Shen Shixing, and only took the initiative to act as a yes-man, and did not block Qian Yiben because the emperor wanted to deal with it so harshly. It is drafted according to the edict.
Qian Yiben soon received his Zhu Ben, and Jin Yiwei was also waiting for him.
Although Qian Yiben was prepared to offend Long Yan, he was still a little surprised after knowing that the emperor wanted to kill him.
What surprised him was that he was not demoted like people like Zou Yuanbiao, nor was his body kept intact, but was directly torn apart.
"What's the matter? I just said a few harsh words of advice, so why did I just break up the car! What's the difference between this and a single-minded thieves?!"
Therefore, before Qian Yiben was taken away, he couldn't help but said to his son: "You must run for your father!"
After Qian Yiben was taken to prison, Meng Yanghao already went to Shu to intercede for him and said: "Your Majesty treats his direct ministers like this, which is not the way of a benevolent king!"
"presumptuous!"
After Zhu Yijun saw Meng Yanghao's memorial in the Imperial Palace, he once again issued an order: "I will also be thrown into prison or sentenced to death!"
At this time, Shen Shixing had to advise: "Your Majesty, please calm down. If I am afraid that if you continue to kill me like this, they will not dare to hate your Majesty, but they dare to hate me and others. This will not be conducive to my administration. I cannot govern for small matters, but Political matters such as the Japanese war and the development of Luzon are important, so please think twice!"
Zhu Yijun said: "I have my own countermeasures."
Shen Shixing understood what Zhu Yijun said, so he said nothing more and held back Liu Yingjie, the second assistant who wanted to speak.
Meng Yanghao was later arrested by Jin Yiwei from Liu Ke Gallery and sent to prison.
Shortly after Qian Yiben and Meng Yanghao were sentenced to prison, Shen Shixing personally went to the Secret Service to intercede for these two people.
Zhu Yijun knew that Shen Shixing understood what he meant, so he gave instructions: "Since it is Yuan Fu who is asking for mercy, then give these two people a chance and go to the prison to deliver the decree to these two people. If these two people repent, If he deeply reflects on his mistakes and confesses his guilt, I will exempt him from the death penalty and show his benevolence!"
After Zhu Yijun issued such an imperial edict, Cabinet Bachelor Shen Li asked Shen Shixing: "Your Majesty forces them to swallow back what they have said. It is like piercing the heart. It will only make Qian Qixin and the others feel more uncomfortable than death. Is it too hurt?" Are they there?
"If I don't hurt them, will I hurt you and me?"
Shen Shixing only smiled and asked after hearing this.
