Soon, in the spotlight of everyone, a sheep was brought over,
Then two soldiers, under the command of Shi Kefa, directly took off the scarred-face prisoner's shoes, and then washed the other's smelly feet with water.
"That's it, is that all you guys are doing? Do you want to laugh me to death?" the scar-faced criminal said with a smile.
Before Scarface could say another word, a man in white clothes directly smeared salt on Scarface's feet. Then, in front of everyone's attention, the goat quickly faced Scarface. Face's feet were licked.
At first, Scarface felt very comfortable and itchy, but after half a cup of tea (5 minutes later) Scarface's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he couldn't help laughing.
After 1 cup of tea (10 minutes), Scarface directly shouted that he wanted to confess.
Laughter punishment is a very useful method for people with strong willpower.
Dealing with this kind of desperado is like killing a chicken with a knife.
"I am originally from Shenyang, Liaodong. During the Tianqi years, Shenyang was restricted and most of my relatives died tragically. In order to survive, I sold myself. ... The Minister of Punishment asked us to do this."
"I confess, yes..."
After Scarface confessed, others saw the situation and betrayed the master behind them.
Laughing is not scary, what is scary is not being able to stop laughing.
Even the fierce-looking scarred face can't stand it, and everyone probably won't be able to stand it either.
Rather than "enjoying" a confession, it would be better...
As those criminals confessed. Many officials in the imperial court suddenly broke out in cold sweat, not because they were involved, but because they were afraid that the emperor would take this opportunity to launch a major purge.
He was even more afraid that the newspapers would report this incident and the Ming literati would be directly isolated.
"Hmph, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Youjian scolded loudly from the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty is confused. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of military generals committing rebellion. Now the military power has become established. If it is not controlled, the "Anshi Rebellion" will reappear in the Ming Dynasty!"
When the Minister of Punishment saw what had happened, he still talked nonsense and tried to make a last ditch effort.
"Humph, the Confucian sages' books have been thrown into the latrine? Don't you want to be a slave to the subjugation of the country? If the aliens don't behead your parents, humiliate your wife and daughter, kill your son, then you won't rob your property. Happy?"
Zhu Youjian shouted loudly on the dragon chair.
Things in the court are different from things between ordinary people.
For ordinary people, turning big things into small things and turning small things into nothing is a benefit rather than a disadvantage.
But when it comes to matters in the court, they always say that turning big things into small things and turning small things into nothing is doing more harm than good.
There are no trivial matters in the court, let alone trivial matters.
The reason for the collapse of many dynasties is the trivial things mentioned by officials.
Human nature is inherently selfish, and as long as the court begins to turn big things into trivial matters, then this country will inevitably perish.
As the emperor, His Majesty must let his ministers know that the law cannot be broken.
If you turn big things into small things today and nothing about small things, tomorrow the law will become a piece of shit, and the day after tomorrow the country will be gone.
"Literati rule the world, and warriors protect the country! Whether literati or military, you are all the pillars of the Ming Dynasty. You are like the two legs of the Ming Dynasty. If either of you is lame, the Ming Dynasty will be doomed.
Sage Kong knew that if a country wants to be strong, a strong army is essential, but what about you?
After Jingkang was ashamed, he still went his own way, suppressed the generals, and came to Yashan to hate!
The Song Dynasty fell and shamelessly took refuge in the arms of the Yuan people.
The Jian slaves are raging in Liaodong, massacring our compatriots, and directly throwing the face of our Ming Dynasty into the pit, but what about you? Help those who build slaves to fight! You also want to forcibly block those culprits. What is your intention?
Where have you lost your propriety, justice and integrity?
The six arts of a gentleman are: etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy. How many do you still remember?
As an important minister of the imperial court, enjoying all the benefits brought by the imperial court, you really only think about yourself, and you even wish you could finish your work early tomorrow. Are you worthy of being called a disciple of Confucius?
For a person like you, you are worthy of speaking to others. Someone will come to suppress them. First, arrest the three clans and seize all the properties within the three clans. After the three divisions verify that everything is correct, all three clans will be punished. "
Zhu Youjian said.
"Officials of the three departments (Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate), please listen, you are the last barrier to the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Since ancient times, if the law is not majestic, the country will perish!
You may not know the tragedy of the people who lost their country, but when slavery was rampant in Liaoning, don’t tell me that you don’t know the lives of the people!
Don't think that the Ming Dynasty is a celestial kingdom with millions of troops guarding the border. The injured are only ordinary people on the border, and it is not your turn.
Even if the country is destroyed, the new dynasty still needs you to be dogs.
I can tell you clearly that in history, the capitulationists died more miserably, but the new dynasty deliberately did not say so for the sake of so-called benevolence and righteousness.
If you want to enjoy the benefits that Ming Dynasty has brought to you in a stable manner, then you must do your part.
Otherwise I will never be lenient!
The Ming Dynasty Law stipulates that any case involving a sentence of more than 30 years requires your three divisions to check again based on the evidence. After confirming that it is correct, the name of the person in charge will be signed and recorded in the record.
The death penalty, Ling Chi, Yi San Clan, Zhu Jiu Clan, etc. cannot help but require the signature of the three heads of the Third Division, and the emperor's consent.
Therefore, you are the last barrier to the imperial court’s legal system and the last barrier to the Ming Dynasty.
For you, it may be just a case.
But for criminals, it may be a lifetime.
You only have one life, and it's really gone when you die. Justice that is delayed is not qualified to be called justice!
Take Xiong Tingbi as an example, so what if the court reverses the verdict? What does it mean to Xiong Tingbi?
I don’t want you to deliberately blind yourself because of profit.
Otherwise, if one person is wrongfully accused today, it may be you who are wrongly accused and sent to the vegetable market tomorrow.
The three of you must check it carefully. If someone deliberately covers up, he will be punished three times! "
if..... "
"Your Majesty is wise." Shi Kefa and Lu Xiangsheng knelt down and shouted.
The other officials also shouted when they saw this.
Many officials have finally calmed down. They are not afraid that the emperor will make rules, but they are afraid that the emperor will directly go beyond the rules and beat people!
As for the possible jujubes in the future, everyone has no expectations at all. After all, in the eyes of these officials, Zhu Youjian is really stingy. Others give a jujube with a stick, but Zhu Youjian can give a big jujube. Jujube can hit more than a dozen sticks.
The key is to fight someone without caring about who is behind you.
Even if you break in, you can expose the person's background. You can't help but beat the person, and also expose the immoral things the person has done...
