The cause of the incident was that Shen Ge, the Minister of Law, acted on the order of Su Yonglin and unexpectedly captured Qiao Feng, the deputy director of the Organization Department, on April 21, the ninth year of Hongwu.
Before that, the whole story was immersed in the joy of Su Yonglin's final victory in the southern expedition to Jiangnan and the unification of the thirteen states of China.
Not only that, they also learned that Su Yonglin took advantage of the situation to defeat the provocation of the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam, turning South Vietnam into the Annan Special Administrative Region of the Ming Dynasty, further opening up territory for the Ming Dynasty, and his impressive martial arts achievements were eye-catching.
The whole country was immersed in a sea of joy. From the court to the people, everyone was talking about the [reunification of China and China], and imagining what more exciting things would happen in the future, and where the Ming Dynasty would go. One step or something.
Which countries will the Ming Dynasty destroy?
Xiliao?
The Tubo tribe on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
Dali country in the southwest corner?
Or is it the Japanese country on the islands to the east?
Or continue north and penetrate deep into the prairie to drive out all the nomadic cavalry on the prairie?
They all imagined that the Ming Dynasty would have more glorious military victories and national prestige, that the Ming Dynasty could restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and expand the country's territory to an unprecedented level.
By that time, the Ming Dynasty will definitely become the first superpower in history.
In mid-April, the news came that Su Yonglin announced that the class teacher would return to the court, and the entire school began to prepare.
Everyone is discussing how to organize a grand event to celebrate the substantive unification of China since the Anshi Rebellion in the former Tang Dynasty. To this end, everyone expressed their opinions and exchanged many of their own ideas.
Some people say there will be a grand welcome ceremony.
Some people say that holding a military-civilian joy party would be a good time for the singing and dancing troupe of the Women's Department of the Revival Association to come out and show off, so that everyone can watch the singing and dancing and have fun.
Some people also say that it would be better to hold a grand dinner party and install earthen stoves around the entire Zhongdu. Thousands of earthen stoves can be used to cook vegetables and rice together, so that the entire Zhongdu people can come out to eat running water banquets, and the military and civilians can work together. Happy, let’s all be happy together and wish you all the best at this time.
Some people suggested any method, and some things that seemed funny and weird were proposed. Anyway, everyone was enjoying themselves and felt that the revolution had been completely successful, and everyone had completely achieved great things, and had made countless achievements for hundreds of years with people with lofty ideals. The ultimate ideal that everyone wants to achieve.
Just as they were preparing to celebrate this moment with such thoughts, Shen Ge suddenly captured Qiao Feng, dampening the joyful atmosphere in Zhongdu.
Many people found it incredible when they first heard the news.
Some people wonder if this is a double act performed by Shen Ge and Qiao Feng. The two of them are deliberately messing with everyone here.
But normal people know that sending out legal soldiers to do things, how could it be done deliberately?
Tian Guizi's subsequent speech shocked many people and made many people feel chills on their backs.
Su Yonglin sent back a secret order, saying that the celebration of the unification of China can be postponed, and there is no need to be so anxious about the celebration of victory. The days are long, and there is no need to celebrate the unification of the country after the complete recovery of South Vietnam, Dali, and Xiliao. Late.
The thirteen states of China have been recovered, but there are still many territories that once belonged to us that have not been recovered, so now it is only a small unification, not a real unification. There is no need to make a big deal, everyone should have ambition and pursuit.
Let these go.
However, there must be no delay or pause in dealing with the speculators and degenerate elites who have sneaked into the revolutionary ranks.
Therefore, everything must be put back and the rectification movement must be carried out as soon as possible.
The beginning of this round of rectification movement was the arrest of Qiao Feng, deputy director of the Organization Department.
The person who specifically carried out this action was Shen Ge, Minister of Law.
Tian Guizi, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Prime Minister of the Renaissance Society and Director of the General Affairs Department, Kong Maojie, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and director of the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society, were involved, as was Jiang Chengyue, minister of Dali Temple.
The Third Department of Justice and the Supervision Department of the Renaissance Society were both involved in this matter, and the entire judicial system of the Ming Dynasty was involved. This meant that Su Yonglin believed that the crime committed by Qiao Feng was an unforgivable and major crime. .
Tian Guizi also announced that according to Su Yonglin's order, traffic control would be implemented in Zhongdu City from the moment Qiao Feng was arrested.
No official, clerk, soldier, or revival member may enter or leave Zhongdu City without Tian Guizi's own handwriting.
The General Staff Headquarters and the Privy Council jointly issued an order to mobilize the army to control the major city gates in Zhongdu, conduct strict inspections of vehicles and pedestrians, and complete registration.
The Third Judicial Department organized the most powerful and capable judicial team, launched a surprise interrogation of Qiao Feng, told Qiao Feng everything that Su Yonglin told them, and what Hu Xin had confessed, and ordered Qiao Feng to honestly explain everything that happened. Can seek leniency.
However, what the judicial team didn't expect was that Qiao Feng just sneered and didn't care.
"I guessed it. I guessed that Hu Xin's ungrateful straight woman must have told the chairman about this matter. But it's not important. I don't care. Just say it. Catch me if you want. But what do you want me to explain? It’s impossible, I won’t tell you any news unless the chairman comes to ask me personally.”
Shen Ge, who was in charge of the trial, was very annoyed by this.
"Qiao Feng, your attitude is blatantly resisting the interrogation of the Ministry of Justice. It is a taboo in interrogation. You will suffer hardships and the sentencing will be more severe in the future. You have to think carefully."
"Bitterness? Hahahahahaha!"
Qiao Feng laughed arrogantly: "In the Southern Song Dynasty, what kind of hardships did I not suffer? I ate bark and grass roots, I ate rotten meat with flies flying around, and I ate the swill from the swill bucket with the pigs. I have eaten all these, am I still afraid of any other sufferings?"
Shen Ge took a deep breath to calm down the anger in his heart.
"The chairman asked us to capture you in advance to give you an opportunity to seek leniency. There are not many such opportunities. Don't waste the opportunity. You are also a veteran of our Renaissance Association. You should know our rules."
Qiao Feng smiled contemptuously.
"Shen Ge, you don't need to say this. I know the rules of the revival meeting better than you. I am an old man who followed the chairman north to Shandong. My qualifications are far more senior than yours, so don't tell me this. You are not qualified."
Shen Ge clenched his fists, feeling very unhappy.
Qiao Feng was from the old team who followed Su Yonglin to the north, and Shen Ge marched with Su Yonglin during the Victory Army period. In terms of qualifications, he was certainly not as good as Qiao Feng, and Shen Ge's status in the Fuxing Association was also not as good as Qiao Feng's.
But is this the time to rank based on seniority?
So Shen Ge slapped the table in annoyance.
"You have committed a crime! Now is the time to inquire about the crime! It is not the time to rank based on seniority! Qiao Feng, tell me everything you know honestly! You can still fight for leniency! Otherwise, think about your family!"
The Ming Dynasty punished officials for crimes very harshly, and it affected family members and future generations. At least three generations suffered. It was a huge shock to all officials, and the bad habits among many officials in the previous dynasties were wiped out in the Ming Dynasty.
Shen Ge didn’t believe that Qiao Feng didn’t care.
In the end, Qiao Feng really looked like he didn't care.
"Where's Tian Guizi? Even if the chairman doesn't come, his black-faced man should come too, right? What? I'm so incapable of showing up?"
Qiao Feng smiled and said: "Let Tian Guizi come to see me, I might be able to say a few words, but you, don't expect it, unless you lynch me here, then I can't bear it, maybe just say Well, what do you think, do you want to lynch me?"
