The emperor cannot give in or bow his head?
That is a lie to children and fools.
Throughout the ages, which emperor could do everything as he wished and implement every idea?
It shouldn't be like this, because humans will always make mistakes.
Zhu Houcong is fully aware of this.
But Yang Ting and their demands were unfair.
"Since I have become the emperor, I cannot be ignorant of the underlying situation or deal with injustice." Zhu Houcong looked at Wang Qiong and others, "Mr. Yang Ge, I have understood that the water in the court is extremely filthy. The trial will continue. I don’t know how many people can be spared. Is this the situation? But the affairs of the country are complicated and cannot be left alone. Pull out the carrots and bring out the mud. The more you check, the more you will find. The same is true for those who are lifted up from below. The water in the place is naturally more turbid. Still pretending Zuo couldn't see it, so he just made do with it. He framed it here and blurred it there, just to make it look peaceful. Do you want me to do the same?"
The paper maker's hat reappeared, but Yang Tinghe did not argue.
The reality is cruel, but it is indeed reality, just as it is unrealistic to change the law easily.
If everyone can't make it, then they won't make it.
You have to understand that it will be difficult every step of the way before it even begins.
"I still remember that when I first visited the court, I asked Mr. Yang Ge to make fun of the people. At that time, Mr. Yang Ge said that it was ignorant remarks. Now it seems that the people's vision is sharp."
Zhu Houcong looked up at the door, his tone calm and indifferent.
Yang Tinghe's expression changed: Of course what the emperor was talking about now was that if all the officials were pulled out, there would be no injustice if every one was chopped down. How appropriate to say it at this time?
But under today's circumstances, he asked the emperor not to continue the trial. Doesn't it prove that he was lying and deceiving the emperor?
"Every official is guilty or not, and the responsible person should verify it in accordance with the law." Zhu Houcong did not stop talking, "This is what Mr. Yang Ge said that day. Now I am following Mr. Yang Ge's advice because I am involved in the case of Qian Ning and Jiang Bin. I have asked the courtiers to check whether Jiang Bin's confession is true due to some business, and Mr. Yang Ge also advised me to close the case."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe finally thought of the Internal Affairs Division.
What is said in the memorial, what is said in the memorial, and the positions and opinions of the ministers on various matters must be recorded in the internal files.
Yang Tinghe is the chief assistant, so his words and deeds are naturally the top priority.
In front of this emperor, don't say a word wrong. If they are contradictory, what is the reason?
Zhu Houcong lowered his head and squatted down. He was still holding Liang Chu's apology and apology form in his hand, and asked sincerely: "Mr. Yang Ge, which piece of advice should I listen to?"
Yang Tinghe's forehead was sweating, and he was speechless.
"Are the laws of the Ming Dynasty a joke? Is the advice of my ministers a joke? I accept the advice, is it also a joke?"
The emperor has lost his etiquette, how can he squat down and talk to his ministers?
Yang Tinghe raised his head and saw the emperor's sincere eyes.
The look in his eyes was indeed sincere.
It's not sarcasm, there's no anger, it seems to be just confusion, just the confusion of a young man.
But the edge in his words was as cold as a sharp blade.
If the laws of the Ming Dynasty are a joke, where will the laws of the court be in the future?
If it is a joke for the ministers to give advice and the emperor to accept the advice, will the emperor still listen to the opinions of his ministers and Yang Tinghe in the future?
Chills of air flowed down Yang Tinghe's forehead and down his back. Yang Tinghe finally understood that the emperor must insist on continuing the trial and where to stop.
It's just that your words and deeds, Yang Tinghe's, are inconsistent!
Why are you pretending to be a prudent person for the country and not wanting the court to be in turmoil?
One of the cabinet ministers has left, and three of the nine ministers have left. It is not called turmoil. Would it be called turmoil if more people had to leave, or if people who were caring for one of them had to leave?
It’s up to you to characterize things and draw the lines?
Standards, where are they?
You can characterize and draw the line, why don't you do it this day?
"...Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty has strict laws and regulations, how can it be a joke? How can it be a joke if you give honest advice and the Holy Lord accepts it?" Yang Tinghe could not continue with this cognitive attitude in any case. He could only At this moment, he lowered his head as if he had admitted his mistake, "I know that my words and deeds at this time are inconsistent with that of that day, which leads to your Majesty's doubts. However, the importance of national affairs and the knot of all difficulties have changed with time. At this time, your Majesty wants to investigate the situation in detail. , and it is by no means the only way to deal with this case. It is the lesser of two evils. Your Majesty, this case is not the best choice to judge the purity of the court and the character of the officials. "
Before Zhu Houcong could speak, Yuan Zonggao finally stood up and said coldly with his weight: "You can't judge the character of hundreds of officials based on this case, but Liang Dashi, Wang Datianguan, Yang Dasinong, Chen Dazongxian and others But they are all found to have solid evidence, so they are not included here? The only difference is whether they have found solid evidence?"
The posthumous title of Emperor Daxing has been decided, the palace examination has been completed, and Yuan Zonggao is only one nod away from entering the cabinet.
Liang Chu has decided to leave the court today, and Yuan Zonggao may join the cabinet tomorrow.
Among the old ministers and newcomers to the cabinet, Yuan Zonggao's weight is unmatched.
Yang Tinghe replied in a deep voice: "Since we have solid evidence, how can we turn a blind eye?"
"Now that we have solid evidence, the Great Heavenly Official is ashamed of his trust in His Majesty and has already resigned." Yuan Zonggao's lips were hidden under his gray beard, and the words he spat out were heart-breaking, "You, Grand Scholar Yang of Zuozhuguo, admit that your words and deeds are not consistent. As the head of a hundred officials, when you act like this, you can just say that the importance of national affairs and the knot of all difficulties have changed with time, and I hope that your majesty will judge the situation. How can you understand this moment and this situation? How can your majesty know it?"
Zhu Houcong looked at Yuan Zonggao, who had an indifferent expression.
This time, Yan Song knelt down first, Jiang Mian expressed his attitude, Liang Chu and Wang Qiong first used retreat as a sword, and then Yuan Zonggao summarized his speech, and the contradiction was finally completely resolved.
Assessing the situation, how did this situation come about?
Yang Tinghe burned the fire, and Yang Tinghe artificially created the time and momentum.
It’s true that Liang Chu, Wang Qiong and others are unclean and there’s no need to worry too much about it, but the key point is, why is the trial no longer going on?
If you cross this line, you just don’t judge the situation?
Yes, the emperor is now showing a puzzled face: Why can't I continue the trial and see who among the people in the court is innocent and who is innocent?
From now on, it is up to the ministers to tell the emperor: The line has been crossed, Your Majesty?
Who has the right to interpret?
Yang Tinghe was worried and angry: "Your Majesty, despite his great talents, does not know everything about the world. The duties of a minister should be stated truthfully. At this time, it is not suitable to continue the trial, set off a major case, cause trouble to the government, and ruin the state affairs. This minister has been an official for many years Speaking from experience, unshakable judgment! If Your Majesty thinks that I am alarmist and insists on a thorough investigation, I have done my duty. What more can I say? How can I stop you again? How can I stop you again? If your Majesty thinks that my words and deeds are not consistent, It’s no longer appropriate for me to be shameless in the pavilion, why should I regret it?”
After saying these words, he solemnly straightened the train of his robe, bowed in front of Zhu Houcong with a huge salute, and knelt his head on the floor.
The voice reflected from the floor and echoed in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice: "Your Majesty! The old minister has warned me: Mount Tai will not move, but rivers sometimes flow. Beetroots are always there, and traitors are hard to eradicate. There are those who cannot be moved lightly, just like Mount Tai for eternity. Just like the same; those who wait for the time are like rivers that are exhausted in winter and flooded in summer. The water has no permanent momentum, so the wise will make the best use of the situation; the mountains are majestic, so the fools will move in a hundred generations. Things have priorities, and people distinguish between right and wrong. Now that the bad deeds have been revealed, how can we overcome the water? Accept it? A good minister is doing his job, how can he stop eating because of choking?"
"The Holy Emperor plans for eternity, and the wise king and father worry about the people. Gains and losses are not temporary! The ministers are stupid and bad, and they are only chosen for a moment. Your Majesty is wise, and you can choose the virtuous again. Your Majesty wants to understand the situation below, and this is a sincere and wise move; the veteran minister is not I hope there is another reason for admonishing this matter. Qian Ning and Jiang Bin are treacherous ministers, and they are responsible for serious crimes! If all officials are investigated because of this case, it will be as if the officials are greedy for merit and the officials are relying on power. No matter how difficult a wild horse is to tame, it will be subdued. In this way, the center will be in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty will be at a loss. Internal troubles will come together, and external troubles will come!"
"Your Majesty! I am sixty and three years old. I have experienced the three dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde, and I have been able to assist you with your majesty's talents to become a heroic and wise king. Thanks to your majesty's grace, I am worthy of being listed in the Taiwan Pavilion and awarded Zuozhuguo. This is With this body and mind, I just want to hold the whip and pedal, saddle the horse and see the prosperity of the new dynasty. Your Majesty’s ambition is also my ambition! Your Majesty’s worries are also my worries! Now that I know that the future is far away, I dare to climb the shaft button Horse, I hope your Majesty will see clearly! Your Majesty, the road is dangerous! Go slowly!"
The chief minister of the cabinet was full of emotions and burst into tears from his heart.
Suddenly, a light seemed to shine on him.
But Zhu Houcong didn’t have a trophy in his hand.
