Ignoring Zhao Yueming's actions, King Zhou sat directly on the chair at the royal desk, rubbed his head with his fingers, and said: "Didn't I say that I would control this matter within an appropriate range? Why is it so troublesome?" It's so big that you went directly to the Ministry of Punishments. Can't you arrest people yourself?
Now there is a three-court trial. I don’t doubt your ability, let alone how much conclusive evidence Jian Tiansi has on this matter, but you should also know how many people in the court are nobles from these aristocratic families. The bigger the fuss, the worse it will be for us.
If it is not handled properly, it will seriously damage the majesty of our great Zhou Dynasty among the people. What are you thinking about letting this news make the whole city a storm? "
Zhao Yueming first explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, this matter is really not Wei Chen's idea. I didn't expect Zhang Yuhang to directly bring this matter to the Ministry of Punishment."
Then he continued: "But from my point of view, this move is a wonderful move. His Majesty wants to realize his ambition. The aristocratic family is a natural chasm that we cannot circumvent. But we cannot govern the world only with the sword of our Jian Tiansi, otherwise If the knife is stained with too much blood, not only will the officials be afraid, but the people will also feel a little disgust towards us and even His Majesty.
Therefore, effective laws are needed to govern the world. Laws for people are the effective ways to govern the country. "
King Zhou said angrily: "Okay, I don't need you to teach me how to be the emperor. Tell me, what do you think? Are you going to drag the right minister into the water this time?"
If the person in front of him hadn't been him, anyone who said such treacherous words would probably have been killed long ago, but it was precisely because of this that he could always maintain 100% trust in this person.
Zhao Yueming said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, even if I want to do this, you won't agree."
"Nonsense, the forces involved behind the Right Prime Minister are too wide. I have no objection to taking the opportunity to weaken his power, but if you want to use this incident to bring him down, you'd better not have this idea.
And don’t forget, there is an old guy in the court. With him around, not only do I not dare to be too harsh to the right prime minister, but sometimes I have to join forces with him. After all, a left prime minister who is a veteran of three dynasties, that’s terrible. Not a decoration. "
King Zhou's biggest opponent in the entire court is not the right prime minister who now has the handle, but the left prime minister who has hardly made any moves in these years, but firmly holds the position of left prime minister. Under one person in the court, there are thousands of people. The left prime minister who is superior to others is Zhuge An.
When Zhao Yueming heard this person, his tone became extra cautious: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wei Chen still knows the principle of step by step, but except for the right minister, the other participants can't stay, and they must be punished according to the canon. Only in this way can the huge momentum created this time be effective.
Only in this way can the people see what these aristocratic families are, at least let them know who is working for them, and then gradually let the laws of Zhou be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Otherwise, it will not only disappoint the people, but also make them want to establish it again in the future. With Zhou Lv's majesty, it would be even more difficult. "
"Go ahead and do it. As you said, I still have the opportunity and the capital to carry out restructuring. Otherwise, when I get old, those children may not be able to suppress all the forces in the court." Zhou Wang's words were full of sorrow, not only concern about the current situation, but also about the bumpy future of the Zhou Dynasty.
After a long time, Youyou said: "I can't put this pressure on my children anymore."
Zhao Yueming accepted the order and left. He knew very well that the next step was a game between himself and the right minister. However, he had been preparing for so long, and even if he was the right minister, he would definitely pay the price if he did it.
The rule of law is his highest pursuit. No matter what kind of thorns are waiting for him, he will not retreat even half a step.
Back at Supervisor Tiansi, Zhang Yuhang was alone in his place. The entire Supervisor Tiansi was busy doing things, but no one came to disturb him.
He was waiting for Sir Sizheng's summons. After all, he had started such a big thing, and he would probably have to be the sword for the next thing. But how to do it, he had to listen to Sizheng's instructions.
At least it can't conflict with Lord Si Zheng's ideas.
Sure enough, Zhao Yueming summoned him to report as soon as he returned to Supervisor Tiansi.
"That is to say, the Right Prime Minister cannot be involved, and the rest will be dealt with according to the law, right?"
Standing next to Zhao Yueming's desk, Zhang Yuhang frowned slightly and said. He originally thought that His Majesty would come forward in person. If he didn't find out the mastermind behind this, it would be disrespectful to His Majesty. But he didn't expect that His Majesty was not even allowed to touch the right prime minister.
Zhao Yueming said: "It's not that we can't move, it's that we can't move directly now. First, His Majesty is still using the Right Prime Minister. Second, to be honest, we don't have absolute evidence that the Right Prime Minister is involved, let alone this case. Many years have passed since the incident, and for a big shot like the Right Chancellor, sometimes time is enough to erase all traces.
Even if those people were willing to expose and report back then, they would not threaten him, so even if we want to deal with him now, it is unrealistic. "
Zhang Yuhang nodded, he understood this truth, and this was obviously His Majesty's decision. Don't talk about himself, not even Lord Sizheng could do anything about it.
In contrast, he is more willing to bring these beasts like Qiao Yu to justice.
"My subordinate understands, so what else should I do next?"
Zhao Yueming nodded and said: "Next, I will be responsible for the right minister's side. What you need to do is to ensure that there will be no mistakes in the charges of these people involved in the three-chamber trial. The evidence is no longer your responsibility. For today, I After more than two years of preparation, they were not allowed to overturn the verdict.
Although those people from Duchayuan and Dali Temple will take action from it, none of them have clean butts. I will ask Wang Lei to hand over the information of these people to you later. How to solve the problem, I don’t need to teach you. You? "
Zhang Yuhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, sir, I know how to do it."
"That's good. We must end this trial as quickly as possible. However, Mr. Nie is in charge of the trial this time. Don't worry too much about this. Although he is a bit pedantic, he can be regarded as a rare good official. .
After that, you have to personally search the homes of these people involved before the Ministry of Punishment comes forward. You can hand over part of the people to the Ministry of Punishment, but the private property of these officials must be in our hands. This is a huge sum of money. If it falls into their hands, If you want to give it to us by then, it will be a dream. "
Supervision Tiansi will definitely need to develop next, but as long as it is development, it cannot be separated from money. Zhao Yueming has never had such a naive idea to expect the Ministry of Revenue or the court to allocate funds to Supervision Tiansi.
Zhang Yuhang couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Sir, you are making all the officials hate me. My shoulders are a bit small and I may not be able to bear such great pressure."
"There is no way, your status is quite special, and no one in the entire Tiantian Division except me has the qualifications to be taken seriously by these aristocratic families. If you don't do something, do you want me to end it myself?" Zhao Yueming said very bluntly. Bai, “This is the way the world is. An identity is a natural protective umbrella for many, many people.
In fact, no matter what you do, as long as your ability is great enough, your status is high enough, and your status is noble enough, even if you commit a heinous blood debt, you will not really act in accordance with the so-called rules. This is the reality, you No choice. "
