After all, he was a courtier who had been in the capital for decades. Not only was he cunning and cunning, but he also knew how to figure out the holy will. When facing the prince, he spoke outright and solemnly, and in the blink of an eye the capital crime he had committed was turned away.
Yaoji smiled happily and stared at Duke Ding who was trying to fish in troubled waters: "Hmph! Dare I ask, Duke Ding has already been destitute and his whole family has to live on fried soybeans, so what else can he donate? Do you want to donate the wives and concubines in the mansion? Military slave? Is it possible to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers?"
According to Ming law, if a house is raided and a man becomes a slave, he must do hard labor.
You know exactly what a woman does as a slave...
"I don't dare to speak nonsense, it all depends on His Highness's Holy Judgment!"
Xu Yunzhen was very upset at this time and regretted his previous arrogance in the hall.
The reason for doing this was that the prince would not dare to order a house search. When the emperor was on the throne, this trick worked repeatedly. But now, the truth has been exposed and the courtiers are making fun of him. It will not be long before the news spreads throughout the world.
Not to mention more than 100,000 taels, or even hundreds of thousands taels, even just 10,000 taels is enough to provide the prince with a perfect excuse to destroy the nine tribes, because everyone in the hall heard clearly what Xu Yunzhen said before. .
This is to counterattack his own army in a desperate situation, so that Yao Ji will not be deceived in front of the courtiers: "Holy Judgment? Haha, Duke Dingguo can rest assured that this case will be tried by the Three Laws Division. I have no dictatorship. meaning!"
After saying that, he ordered Yang Jinchao to call the courtiers into the palace to resume the meeting. There were many things in today's meeting, but now there is only one thing left, and that is - to torture people!
The three judicial departments are the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In the Ming Dynasty, the Dali Temple was only the review agency for cases, mainly managing the redress of unjust, false, and wrongly decided cases.
The real power departments are the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhen Shu and Zhong Yan, who are in charge of these two departments, preside over the trial. The fate of the three princes is also in the hands of these two people.
This kind of thing is about to die, but it still takes chances and hopes to turn around. It is really a hopeless piece of shit.
At my place, the only reason why salted fish is turned over is because the other side has been fried...
At this time, a vassal rushed in from outside Fengtian Gate, with an anxious look on his face. He knelt down in front of the steps of Huangji Hall and reported: "Your Highness, the Yangwu Marquis Mansion is still stubborn after being notified of the order. Refusing to open the door, Dongchang and Jinyiwei climbed over the wall and were besieged by hundreds of servants armed with weapons. Eleven of them were killed and twenty-eight were wounded. The rest had to retreat outside the house to wait for help!"
Although this is a joint operation between Dongchang and Jinyiwei, it is mainly commanded by Dongchang and Jinyiwei has personnel. However, it has to deal with forty-one noble residences at the same time. It is somewhat overstretched, and the command ability of the person in charge on the scene is also uneven. together. Moreover, the defense capabilities of each honorable mansion are also different. If you break in rashly, you will inevitably encounter the siege of the other party.
Having ransacked every house in such a terrible way, Dongchang would really disappoint the prince. Fang Zhenghua could not hide his embarrassment, so he had to kneel down and plead guilty: "My subordinate has neglected his duty and failed to do things well. Please punish me, Your Highness!"
The two lackeys formed a team to bite people and almost made them stew. You are really a bunch of trash!
If there were fewer people going, maybe they would be wiped out in a few clicks.
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I came over to ask for help so that I could get back on my feet.
Having said that, the servants kept in captivity are definitely not used to sweep the floor, wash dishes, and wipe tables.
Yao Ji cursed in his heart, but he couldn't blame the factory owner like this on the surface, so he asked Luo Yangxing: "Luo Aiqing, does the Jinyi Guard have artillery?"
I didn't want to kill you at first, but you are actively seeking death, so don't blame me for being ruthless.
Luo Yangxing knew that although there were no clues on the prince's face, he was already angry: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards are equipped with dozens of artillery pieces of various types!"
Although the Jin Yiwei is not a field force of the empire, the hard steel Qing army is definitely not good enough and will most likely be beaten out by the opponent. But all the necessary light and heavy weapons are equipped, and it is still easy to deal with the disobedient dignitaries in the country.
Raise a dog for a thousand days, let it go for a while. If this kind of thing still doesn't work out and I can't be satisfied, just disband the Jinyiwei and go back to your place of origin to farm and fish. What's the use of leaving a bunch of trash like you alone?
Yaoji looked at the commander and ordered expressionlessly: "Pull over the eight gates, bring over a hundred muskets, and send an additional 500 people. All participating personnel will be dispatched to the East Factory!"
"The general will obey the order!" Luo Yangxing had already predicted the fate of Marquis Yangwu's family.
Yao Ji also ordered his factory boss: "Zhenghua, pass on this palace's oral instructions. Anyone who intends to rebel will be killed. No one will be spared! In half an hour, I will get the result!"
He is so ignorant of the heights of the world, acts recklessly, and does not take Dongchang and Jinyiwei seriously.
You even dared to kill the people I sent there. Have you forgotten where you are?
Today I want to bloodbath the Yangwu Marquis's residence. Aren't you a "hard man"?
Well, I'll have someone cut this thing off of you to see if you can still get hard!
"Your Highness! You must not do this..."
Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, was first shocked when he heard that his mansion was resisting desperately. Then when he heard the prince's order, he knelt down and begged for mercy.
In their rage, if those feudal lords really became red-blooded, they would probably leave no one alive.
Not counting those captive "housekeepers", hundreds of members of the Xue family had to be bombarded with cannons and hacked to death with random blades!
"Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, is good at raising soldiers. He deliberately conspired to rebel and resisted the decree. He deserves to be punished for his crime! Someone, drag me out of here!"
What makes Yaoji quite disappointed is that, except for the brainless family of Marquis Yangwu, the other forty noble families have all given in. There has been no report of a stubborn family resisting. He probably saw a group of people wearing flying fish. The servants were immediately frightened to death.
Their cooperation made Yaoji feel a little uncomfortable, but it was okay, otherwise the Jinyiwei's cannons might not be enough, and the three major battalions stationed in the Jifu area would have to be mobilized to raid homes, and it would be difficult to effectively control the situation. .
"Your Highness, the traitor who secretly conspired with outsiders has been captured and is only waiting for His Highness to interrogate him personally!"
As the first errand ordered by the prince to supervise, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch supervising the inner factory, naturally attached great importance to it and personally sent people to follow it.
As expected, someone in the inner court was cheating and committing crimes, and even dared to leak the top secrets of Huangji Palace on the day when the prince was in charge of the country.
The quick-thinking Li Fengxiang fortunately did not interrogate the two of them on his own initiative, but instead sent the captured "prey" to his master.
"Then escort him in and let me see who he is!"
Yao Ji was a little interested at first, but when he saw the visitor's rough clothes, judging from his clothing, he should be the eunuch and maid who were at the bottom of the palace. They were far away from the big fish he expected.
These two guys are at the level of Ma Chai at best. It would be nice if we could get something valuable out of their mouths, otherwise they would just be classified as shrimp trophies, not enough to fill the gap between teeth.
"Your Majesty... Your Highness, please spare your life. I am greedy for profit. From now on, I will never dare to do it again!"
The little eunuch who was dragged in by the Han general fell to his knees and hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy. Although he had committed a heinous crime, if the prince was kind-hearted, he might be able to save his life.
"woo woo woo woo……"
The palace maid started sobbing directly. The sad look of pear blossoms with rain was quite pitiful. However, thinking of what this person had done, everyone gave up the idea of sympathizing.
These two weirdos are old acquaintances. One is the beautiful palace maid of his mother, and the other is the eunuch who serves him. Yaoji sighed and said with a smile: "Who do you think I am? Is it possible that I have never taught you? , Don’t make money that you shouldn’t make, otherwise you have the life to make money but the life to spend it?”
These words are not all meant for these two bitches. There are so many rich and powerful people in the hall, saying that so and so understands and so and so knows.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince taught me that my slaves must strictly follow His Highness's teachings and never forget them!"
Since the prince did not get angry but reprimanded him calmly, the young eunuch thought that there might be a way to survive and immediately started a fight to please his master.
There is never a shortage of bait for Yaoji fishing. Just shake out one and it will be enough for the opponent to eat: "I also know what you two are thinking. As long as you tell the person behind the scenes, I can pardon you and others. If you remain silent, or If he is framed, then he will be pushed out of Meridian Gate Lingchi immediately!"
At this time, the two sin slaves stopped talking. They knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, quickly calculating the pros and cons in their hearts.
Li Fengxiang, the eunuch in charge of the inner factory, was furious when he saw this. He stepped forward and shouted: "Don't delay deliberately and come here quickly! Otherwise, His Highness will be furious and he will be severely punished!"
A group of people, including the prince and the empress, were all waiting for you, the sinful slave, to answer. Even so, you are still taking your time here, which really pisses off Li Fengxiang.
The young eunuch in his twenties was suddenly threatened. His body trembled, and he said with a trembling cry: "I would like to report to His Highness the Crown Prince. It's not that I don't dare to report it, but it's the person behind it who... is in a high position... and has a lot of power. I really don't dare to..." …Say its name.”
If you don't say it, you will die. If you do, if the prince doesn't investigate and deal with it, he will be retaliated by that guy, and you will die. After careful consideration, the little eunuch finally asked for directions.
Yaoji couldn't help but feel funny when he heard this word, and then asked: "High and powerful? Haha, is it possible that the person behind you is more powerful than me?"
In the harem, the dumper father has been knocked down. The only people with higher status than him are Liu Taifei (the concubine of Ming Shenzong), Zhang Huangsao (the wife of the carpenter emperor) and the beautiful biological mother. The beautiful biological mother was selected and dumped by Liu Taifei. Guo Daddy got married.
The beautiful biological mother is by her side and will probably not be involved in this matter. The possible candidates are the Empress Dowager and Concubine Liu. If it involves household chores, it's really hard to handle.
If these two old beauties came to intercede, in order to ensure the lasting peace of the rear residence, Yao Ji could only pretend that the matter had never happened. For the sake of Yu Jia who usually loves him, he still had to give him this face.
