"Every day you claim that you are a descendant of Confucius, but with the things you have done, you are trying to smear Confucius's face."
"I didn't expect that in this day and age, I would actually raise a creature like yours, which is even worse than an animal."
"If I don't get a severe punishment today, how can I have the face to see the people of the world, and how will I have the honor to see my late emperor, the fourteenth generation of the Ming Dynasty, in the future?"
"According to the decree, Kong Yinzhi supported the rebels, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, smuggled forbidden goods, and embezzled military camps. He was guilty of unforgivable crimes and was sentenced to death."
"The rest of the Kong family in Qufu did not report the knowledge, and most of them participated in it. They betrayed the imperial court. All the men were beheaded, and the women were imprisoned in the Jiaofang Department and registered as slaves. They will never be forgiven."
"All the houses of all the Kong family members in Qufu will be ransacked. The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the Jinyi Guards will inventory the military camps and common people's fields they occupy. After that, all the property will be returned to the original owners."
"All the property under the Kong family's name, including shops, land, manors and houses, will be returned to the imperial court and registered in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I will personally inspect it when I arrive."
[In view of the general environment,
"No matter how minor or serious the crime was, all of Kong's associates ransacked their homes. After a joint trial by the Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple, they were convicted in accordance with Ming law."
"As well as those officials who previously protected the Kong family and risked their whole lives to bet against me, they were immediately taken to interrogation and let me check carefully to see if they had done anything shameful."
"After the investigation is completed, if the innocent person is found guilty, he will be allowed to hang himself, so that his family will not be harmed. His fame and official position will be retained, and it will be more dignified."
Ten days before the Xiaochao meeting, these officials who bet with Cui Chaoqian were also presented as an appetizer.
Moreover, it involves so few officials and the entire Cui Chao family in Qufu.
When the other surviving officials saw this, they were also thankful for their own sanity and silence.
And Xu Hongru and other thieves naturally disappeared from that world before they could play their role.
There was no fraud in the content, and there was no deliberate exaggeration of the facts. Wang Xiangqian just restored the facts.
What's more, I haven't offended a small number of people in the gentry class to death.
It's a pity that I am a person like Zhu Youjian who still wants to erect a memorial arch after becoming a prostitute.
I saw me saying:
If you want to be a qualified emperor, you don't have to be innocent first.
"What I can do is not change the national destiny of your little Ming Dynasty so that the people of your Ming Dynasty can have enough food and clothing and live a stable and peaceful life. It is heading for decline."
"Yuan Fu must persuade me again. I have made up my mind, so let's do it."
At this moment, I have to stand up and speak out even if change is a fait accompli. Of course, I also want to change.
A dignified woman and a young husband dare to act.
Although the old man Cui Chaoqian was hesitant like Xu Guangqi and Wang Zaijin, he still stood on my side.
"We are clamoring for the master of heaven and earth every day. Now that Kong Sheng has betrayed the imperial court, he has a king and a father. I want to see which king is more important in our eyes, or the descendant of the saint."
Cui Chaoqian said he was done, and Xu Xianchun and Yang Huan immediately came out. According to the betting lists recorded successively, His Royal Highness Huang Ji dragged them out on the spot.
If you go out to support and protest at that time, are you asking for death?
It can be said that Emperor Sui Yang was only one ten thousandth, and the destruction of the country and family of the Xiao Ming Dynasty was just around the corner.
"Yuanfu, I'm just looking at Kong's face, so I'm going to be punished leniently."
To the surprise of many people, when Kong Sheng’s actions were revealed to the sky, very few people supported us, let alone avenged him.
What happened in the Huangji Palace was also announced to heaven in the early morning of the seventh day through the imperial edict and the Xiaoming Daily, before the process was streamlined.
None of the officials wanted to stop it, but the emperor was mild-mannered, murderous, and still angry.
"If there is a guilty person, the Jin Yiwei will immediately search for evidence, and upon conviction, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated."
For those people, how
Is it possible to really let us live?
The emperor had said that, and Cui Chaoqian also understood this determination and returned to her original position silently to give advice.
Only some intellectuals who have no brains and have been brainwashed by Confucian culture for a long time are indignant and claim that everything is a conspiracy and trumped-up charges.
The officials who were still there were simply frightened. They stood aside and dared to take a breath, for fear of causing misfortune.
Of course, those people were not bad at all, and after scolding them, they were pulled away by the Jin Yiwei or the police patrolling the streets, and they sent us directly to the underworld to explore the way for Cui Chao first.
Not to mention the Eight Little Princes of Hongwu, even if we look at the entire history of China, they are unique.
Besides, for us, this is just a chance of survival.
If all of them were really revealed, the number of heads would be 10,000 yuan, which would be a big deal.
In the small Huangji Palace, there were voices of approval again, and Cui Chaoqian immediately whispered:
"Jinyiwei, please handle the errand immediately."
I know it's much shorter, but Wang Xiangqian has not read it, but for breaking news like that, if it has 14,000 words, I'm afraid it will do.
Even though each of us was still crying out that we were wronged and begging for mercy, Wang Xiangqian also responded.
As the head of the civil service, Zhu Youxiao, the chief minister of the cabinet, is naturally able to remain silent.
"It has been eight years since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne. He is still seventy years old and has not yet gone through bad times. The little Ming Dynasty needs to thrive under Your Majesty's rule."
"Your Majesty, Kong Yinzhi's crime is to be punished. I have objections, but he is also a direct descendant of the Kong family, and he was the emperor of Yanshenggong. He was sentenced to be chopped in half. Yes, yes..."
Eleven people hanged themselves, fourteen people were beheaded in public, one person was cut in half, seven people were skinned and made into grass, and two were Ling Chi, but it was a bad show for the people who loved to see silence.
"If you really carry such an infamy, even people from the past life would probably think that Your Majesty is a tyrant."
"Your Majesty is the Holy Lord and Mingjun. If you treat Kong Sheng like this, you will probably be criticized by heaven. It will have only a slight impact on your Majesty's reputation and the reputation of the court."
"How we view me is our business, and I can change it."
As the saying goes, the heart is ruthless and firm, Cui Chaoqian basically needs to keep the so-called promise.
The Umrah meeting, which took a whole morning and an entire afternoon, finally began.
And in order to prevent ordinary people with little education from understanding classical Chinese, the Xiaoming Daily this time is all in vernacular.
Those who have not yet gone to extremes even insulted Emperor Tianqi in the street, and even evaluated him as a cowardly and tyrannical king who had only seen him in a thousand years.
Since Cui Yingyuan is my absolute confidant, Wang Xiangqian even wants to deal with me personally to prevent the news from leaking.
Even if you want to leave a bad reputation, it is possible, and I also want to leave a so-called bad reputation.
The property, money and food that were inspected were not as small as before.
The total amount of money is 770,000 taels of silver, which is not much for the acres of land. Unfortunately, it is all in his hometown, and it will take some time to really recover it.
In that struggle, Wang Xiangqian was completely victorious.
Listening to the emperor's series of penalties, the officials present were either shocked or fake.
"Of course, just those things that happened to me, even if I was tortured for eight days and eight nights, it would be regarded as my partiality and perversion of the law."
But Wang Xiangqian naturally heard that he was thinking about me in my words.
