But, how to say it.
This place in the southeast has been a holy place for raising scholars since ancient times, and then it was easy to destroy the scholars.
Sure enough, in the morning of the third day, Prince Xiao Yi soon received an interesting petition.
"Amnesty to the world?"
In the palace of Jinling City, in the Tai Chi Hall, Xiao Yi was sitting on top of him. The civil officials were headed by Xiao Zheng, and the imperial guards were headed by Yue Hongling. Civil and military officials were on both sides, and then there were hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats, Gongsheng students, wealthy businessmen, and others who were "prepared for consultation". The monks and monks were lined up on both sides, and there were many people outside the main hall who were waiting for the call.
"Back to Your Highness, now that the world is at peace in Daqian and a prosperous age is approaching, it is appropriate to grant amnesty to the whole world to show that His Highness the Crown Prince is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness."
Even though he was well prepared, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he came to this occasion in person.
I remembered that in the restaurant before, I ridiculed those scholars who were speechless in front of His Highness, and I had a little understanding.
But he also knows that this is his only chance. At the age of forty, how many more years can he take the exam and serve as an official?
He immediately continued to add: "Your Highness, Bai Shen believes that since your Highness took charge of the country, he has eliminated traitors, quelled civil strife, pacified the northern barbarians, and subdued the four seas. Now he is working hard to govern and rejuvenate the great cadres. At this time, he will grant amnesty to the world to express his gratitude. Qingming.”
As soon as these words came out, the six ministers frowned, especially Bao Zheng, who stood up immediately.
"Your Highness, I sincerely request Your Highness to never hire this person!"
Bao Zheng first saluted Prince Xiao Yi and said something that made Qian Qianyi's face change and he was stunned on the spot.
Then he directly asked Qian Qianyi: "If the world is amnesty, then do you want to pardon the prisoners on death row in the Dali Temple's heavenly prison? Among them, there is a murderer who killed many people in Hedong Road?"
"General amnesty for the whole world, what about the corrupt officials, thugs and bandits who have just been investigated and prosecuted in Jiangdong?"
"If there is a general amnesty for the whole world, then why do we need the Ministry of Punishment, the bad guys, the royal guards, and the supervisory censor?"
"It took a lot of effort for the government officials to be clean, and the world was given a general amnesty. Murderers, arsonists, evildoers, those who despised the king's laws, those who took corruption and bribes... These criminals and death row prisoners were all pardoned. So why did the imperial court spend so much effort to investigate the world? ?”
"With your frivolous amnesty, you have directly negated the efforts of everyone in front of you, even the credit of those who were killed by officials for this, and also let those who were wronged and suffered, those who were killed by bandits, It is difficult to redress human grievances!”
"If you offer amnesty to the whole world, you are messing up the law."
"If it weren't for today's political inquiry, Your Highness would also have an edict not to be punished for what you say."
"I've spent all my life wearing this official robe to punish you for your monstrous words and deceiving the public!"
Several ministers frowned and did not mention it. Xiao Yi even clapped his hands on the table and applauded, but this made the hundreds of scholar-bureaucrats, wealthy merchants, monks and laymen present there startled.
In the past few days, there have been rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince is approachable, friendly, and a humble gentleman.
Who would have known that something like this would happen during the political inquiry that just started today.
to be honest.
Qian Qianyi read the books of sages and learned from great Confucian scholars. He naturally did not want to accept any new learning, thus denying the painstaking study he had endured over the past decades.
Therefore, I plan to find a different approach in this political inquiry.
In other words, he proposed to grant amnesty to the world, flatter him, and achieve multiple things with one stone.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gained a reputation as a benevolent king by granting amnesty to the whole world, and those criminals who were arrested will definitely be grateful to Qian Qianyi in the future. Among them, there are several sons of aristocratic families in the southeast, as well as some famous monks and Taoists. , these people will be his network of connections when he becomes an official in the future.
All I can say is that the imagination is very rich and the reality is very skinny.
Qian Qianyi studied under the great Confucianism, but he failed to learn the great Confucianism's understanding and great wisdom, but he learned how to be truly corrupt and ignorant.
Qian Qianyi was scared and quickly explained. "Your Highness, this is not what Bai Shen means. The so-called amnesty for the world..."
Xiao Yi directly interrupted him and asked: "Okay, if that's the case, then tell me, who should be pardoned in the general amnesty?"
Qian Qianyi: “…….”
He didn't dare answer the question.
With His Royal Highness the Prince's calm words, he directly asked Qian Qianyi, and was praised by Bao Zheng.
"Your Highness is wise!"
Xiao Zheng, Yue Hongling and others who had been watching the battle also saluted, bowed and praised His Royal Highness as a saint, which in turn attracted countless "for consultation" imitations.
Xiao Yi waved his hand and asked someone to take Qian Qianyi down. The meaning was also very obvious. He would never be used. The name Qian Qianyi was very familiar to him. If he thought about it carefully, wasn't it the name of Qian Qianyi in the late Ming Dynasty? It's the people in Chen Chuan.
He also has a sweetheart named Liu Rushi, and that woman is considered a strange woman, with a much higher character than Qian Qianyi.
Such people do not have a firm stance and are prone to jump left and right just for the sake of being an official and for power.
What's the use?
Next, several more people came on stage, but there were also many 'gains'.
For example, someone pointed out to his face that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not contract national debts from his relatives, as this was suspected of giving and receiving privately.
This is a straightforward remonstrance, quite like a straight minister.
There is really a lack of such people in the court.
There are also those who hope that His Royal Highness will uphold the Confucian way of governing the country and the people and abolish the new learning.
Regarding these, Xiao Yi fully performed the wise prince's attitude to the extreme. Those who directly admonished the country naturally stood behind the civil servants and continued to participate in political affairs. There were also those who learned to continue to directly admonish. Watching someone serve food, if the answer is good, you still stay. If the answer is not good, you will naturally ask questions about the past, so that the truth cannot be self-explanatory and the flaws will be exposed.
Whether you are talented or not, you will know just by asking.
The third day of political questioning ended under the sunset.
However, with the progress since the Southeast Asian Political Consultation was held, ordinary people first took the lead, and then some students and Gongsheng students came forward.
Now on the third day, it is the personal show of some famous scholar-bureaucrats, old Gongsheng students, and middle-aged bachelors in the southeast.
After all, given my age, I have been studying for a lifetime, isn’t it just for fame and fortune?
Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has personally gone to Jinling City to hold such a southeast political conference, isn't it just to give them a chance to go to heaven to listen.
Three days have passed, and more than a hundred bachelors have been trained.
In fact.
Prince Xiao Yi's goal has been achieved.
However, some people also know that the next two days may be even more lively.
Because these two days may not be about political affairs.
But debate the scriptures.
You must know that several great scholars in the southeast have not left yet.
