What shocked Xu Sheng, the commander-in-chief, was that these junior officers of the Jinyi Guard came up and asked him to arrest them!
Mao Yuwen came here with the intention of dying, so he simply gave up and acted like a superior, "His Royal Highness has given orders to uncover those female businessmen who secretly trade prohibited goods with the Tatars! Mr. Xu , I have found out that everyone on this list has committed such a crime!"
"What crime?" Xu Sheng didn't take the piece of paper in his hand at all.
This made Mao Yuwen's heart sink. It seemed that he was an old fox. If he didn't answer, he didn't look. If he didn't look, he didn't know.
"Fornicating with Tatars and selling ironware!"
"Where's the evidence? How did you check it? Witnesses, confessions?" Xu Sheng smiled, and was even willing to give him a shout-out, "There isn't any, so how can I arrest someone?"
He laughs,
Mao Yuwen wanted to laugh even more.
Labor and management are the bosses of the prison and you are playing this trick with me!
"I have captured the witness, his name is Li Chun! Mr. Xu knows the people in Ning Wuren's mansion best. If you don't know them, I can't hand them over to you, and I can't hand them over now, because I have ordered them to be sent to the capital. Yes! The confession will be transferred together! If Mr. Xu wants to see it, it’s okay. We’ll arrest him and send him to Beijing together. Let’s read it together. If Mr. Xu must read it now, that’s okay. I’ll write to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But I came here to beat gongs and drums at the General Military Mansion. Once these suspects hear the news and run away, this...is not my responsibility."
The implication is that it is your relationship with the commander-in-chief.
Xu Sheng also felt troubled for a moment. Where did this fucking gangster come from? What does catching a prisoner have to do with me? It was already known all over the city, so it wouldn't be right if he let her go privately now.
In any case, it was forcing him to openly sever ties with these people.
"Chief Commander, these criminals are guilty of collaborating with the enemy. Why haven't they been arrested? I really can't figure it out. If not, I will ask the prince. I think the prince is very intelligent and must know about it."
When Xu Jie heard this, he was extremely panicked. Forget about your fucking power, why are you threatening others?
Xu Sheng felt uncomfortable all over. A small official, who opened and shut his mouth, was riding on his head.
And the meaning of those words is that he also has some hidden relationship with those businessmen. If these words are really spoken in the ears of the prince, he might really be suspicious of him.
Thinking of this section, Xu Sheng's murderous intention loomed.
But it was just a thought. The Crown Prince had said that he was not allowed to kill anyone.
But it's strange to say that the prince suddenly told him this. Doesn't that mean that the prince had expected him to do this a long time ago?
Xu Sheng suddenly felt a chill on his back.
He had a terrifying thought: Since Donggong knew about the illegal sale of ironware and knew about the businessmen's liaison with the Tatars, would he also know about it...
Gudong!
Xu Sheng swallowed his saliva!
Is there a possibility that the Crown Prince knows everything! That’s why I knew he had the motive to kill and silence him!
If all this is true, then such a mind is really terrible!
…
…
The undercurrent in Beijing is becoming more and more turbulent.
There were more and more ministers criticizing him, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel nervous. Every memorial went to the cabinet again, and Liu Jian, the chief minister, also felt that the fluctuations in the court this time were unusual.
….
In his opinion, the crown prince showed the courage to remove the ills, and his purpose was also for the people and the court. This kind of thing shouldn't happen at this time. What worries him especially is that the Crown Prince has a strong character. How can he be subdued?
If we were forced too hard, wouldn't it cause even greater chaos? After thinking about it in the cabinet room, he was still a little concerned but confused.
Another thing happened during this period,
That is, a few days ago,
Empress Zhang's two younger brothers, Jianchang Bo Zhang Heling and Shouning Bo Zhang Yanling, probably because Emperor Hongzhi favored their relatives, so these two people entered and exited the Forbidden City at will as if they were their own backyards. A few days ago, they even treated two
The palace maid was teased.
This incident happened to be caught by an eunuch named He. This eunuch was also quite upright. He only wanted to serve the emperor. Naturally, he felt that these two people doing this in the inner courtyard of the palace was really an insult to the royal face, so it was If you are worried about offending Queen Zhang, you must report it to the emperor.
When things got big, naturally more people knew about it. Emperor Hongzhi was afraid of his wife and wanted to let it go, but the crown prince refused and called people to the East Palace.
As soon as the two uncles knelt down, the prince didn't even want to look at them. He waved his hand sideways and pointed, "Take it down."
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's expressions changed dramatically, "Your Highness! We are your uncles! What happened?!"
Zhu Houzhao didn't even beep, "Take him down and beat him with twenty army sticks!"
"Your Highness!"
These two, who were domineering in the fish and meat village, were one of the few relatives who caused trouble in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Houzhao probably knew something about it, but he never thought that he would dare to molest a palace maid in the Forbidden City. This is something only an emperor can do. What's wrong, you want to be the emperor?
"You are my uncle, after all, you are still my elders, but you can come and go freely in the Forbidden City! You dare to molest the palace maids, do you think no one can discipline you?!"
Zhang Heling originally thought that his visit to the Prince's Mansion was to visit relatives, and he came in a relaxed mood, but he never imagined that things would change!
"Your Highness! We brothers know that we made a mistake, and we promise to never do it again in the future! Let's spare these twenty military sticks! If we really fight, half of my brothers' lives will be lost!"
"beat!"
Liu Jin on the side saw that His Highness the Crown Prince was really angry, and was not sure whether he was acting impulsively. He knew that the Crown Prince called these two people over and did not go through Queen Zhang.
In other words, Queen Zhang did not know that her two brothers were being beaten.
According to the character of the protector, if the fight continues, how will this end?
Even if he is as noble as a prince, in an era where filial piety is important, he cannot easily disobey his mother's wishes.
"Your Highness!" Liu Jin knelt down and said, "The two uncles have made mistakes and deserve to be punished. But do you think it is not too late for Your Highness to go to Kunning Palace to report the situation before hitting the military stick?"
Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling were pressed on the bench and their limbs were not allowed to move. After hearing these words, they immediately felt a lot of affection for Liu Jin.
As long as Queen Zhang, their sister knew about it, these twenty military sticks would never be left behind.
Zhu Houzhao... also knew this, so he wanted to fight first.
….
"I told you to hit me!"
boom! boom!
These two uncles, they are both weak and weak, how can they bear the pain of this kind of flesh and blood? When the military stick fell down, they began to wail and scream, and the sound could be heard through several walls.
"Your Highness! Spare your life!
ah! "
Zhu Houzhao frowned and watched this scene. This beating would let people know that the rules in the palace were not fake. How about Queen Zhang’s brother? Still fighting, as for other people, if they want to do something impulsive, they must first weigh their own weight.
So much so that Liu Jin couldn't understand, "Your Highness, if you are wailing like this, Kunning Palace will know about it soon..."
"Why are you panicking?" The prince glanced at him, then took off the jade belt around his waist, flicked his coat to reveal the white single clothes underneath, "Carry them to the Taiyuan Hospital for treatment. Liu Jin, come with me to Kunning Palace. Please forgive me! I, too, will go and get twenty military sticks for myself!"
Filial piety must be taken into consideration, as well as the laws of the court. If you really can't have both, then the prince will be punished. If this is spread to the outer court, the officials will naturally not be able to say "unfilial", and even praise him. Behavior.
When the news reached the cabinet, everyone lamented the prince's clever methods and naturally applauded the punishment of Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling.
But Liu Jian thought of another problem. The East Palace was afraid that he would use this to rectify the palace ban. Could it be that the target was not the group of ministers who were secretly preparing to move?
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyue recently.
Read and catch up on books, switch sources, read aloud in many tones, available on Android and Apple. 】
Therefore, he can no longer sit back and do nothing. The current prince is resolute and courageous, and will never be intimidated. Once the courtiers' remonstrance becomes fierce, or if something happens, several lives may be lost.
To this extent, he is obviously unqualified as the head of the cabinet who is always quarrelsome.
The eldest son of the Ming Dynasty.
