After Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Empress Ma, who came to ask questions, he looked at the evidence of guilt and the blood-written documents of all people placed on the dragon case in front of him without saying a word.
Empress Ma saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was so abnormal and knew that he must have encountered something that made him unable to swallow.
"Chongba, what's wrong?"
Empress Ma walked around the dragon case and walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, speaking with gentle concern.
At the same time, she also followed Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze and looked at the blue account book in front of her and the white scroll with faint blood-red traces.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "We are being sued in court!"
Queen Ma was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "This is quite new, can you still be sued in court?"
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes at Queen Ma and said, "Do you still have the intention to laugh at me?"
"Sit down quickly and analyze what's going on for us. If we don't figure this out clearly, we won't be able to eat any delicacies from the mountains and seas."
"It has only been six years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Our founding emperor has been sued in court. This is unprecedented and unprecedented!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang gave a wry smile, he explained in detail what he saw and heard today.
Especially the performance of Di Yun and the performance of the Datong people who came from thousands of miles to sue him, he said it vividly, as if they were recreating the scene.
After Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to restore the scene, he frowned again and said: "That's what happened. What do you think this is?"
"Look at these account books and documents and house deeds, they are all signed and sealed by Di Yun. These evidences of crime are true, right?"
"Not only did he openly admit his crimes in court, but he also despised other corrupt officials. He even shamelessly considered himself the 'number one corrupt official'!"
"But as soon as he went to death row, these people came to accuse us of being ignorant!"
"..."
Under the golden roof of the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked to the open space under the dragon table as he spoke.
After Empress Ma listened, she sat down on the dragon chair very naturally and carefully read the evidence of Di Yun's crime and the blood letter of all people suing Zhu Yuanzhang.
After Queen Ma finished listening and reading, she immediately said: "What's so difficult about this? You're so upset that you can't even eat. Look at your ability."
Zhu Yuanzhang stood below and said: "Then let's ask the Queen for advice!"
Empress Ma was not modest and spoke directly: "Not only are there blood letters from all the people, but also the background information of the signatories, which shows that these signatories clearly know what they are doing and what responsibilities they have to bear."
"The eyes of an ordinary person may be blind, but the eyes of thousands of ordinary people are definitely sharp."
After saying that, Queen Ma put her hands on the blood book of all peoples and the crime evidence account book respectively.
Then, she looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Do you believe in the eyes of thousands of people, or the eyes of an inspection official?"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately lit up and he said, "You mean, our inspection officials might have lied to us?"
Empress Ma just shook her head slightly and said, "I didn't say that. I just wanted to remind you that these inspection officials are your ministers, but they may also be Hu Weiyong's people."
"The origin of these criminal evidence may be true, or they may want to borrow your knife to kill local officials who are unwilling to work with them."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately reacted.
I have to say that what his sister said is indeed reasonable. The struggle between the imperial power and the prime minister's power has never stopped since the Great Enemy.
Prime Minister Quan wants more chips, that is, to make local officials theirs as much as possible!
There are many people in this world who are biased by the wind, but there are also many loyal ministers and virtuous people!
Those loyal ministers and virtuous ministers who are unwilling to associate with them will naturally become the targets of their persecution!
There are all kinds of people in the officialdom. Some people choose to follow the crowd in order to survive and get promoted. There are also people who are not afraid of the powerful for the sake of loyalty in their hearts!
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised and said: "You mean, this Di Yun is actually a loyal and virtuous minister who was framed?"
"But how can his behavior in court and the words he said have anything to do with being a loyal minister and a virtuous man?"
"You were not present at the scene. If you saw him, I'm afraid you would want to spit in his face!"
Queen Ma's eyes immediately lit up and she said, "Is it possible that I have given up on you?"
"If I were a loyal and virtuous minister who was about to be executed because the emperor didn't investigate, maybe I wouldn't bother to explain, because explaining would be a waste of time!"
"Didn't you say that he looked like he was doing a generous job for righteousness?"
"Chongpachi, have you ever seen a corrupt official who is not afraid of life and death, but who acts generously before execution?"
"Such a person must be someone with a pure heart even though his body is dirty!"
"..."
When Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Queen Ma's analysis, he instantly felt like he had an enlightenment.
I have to say that her sister's analysis was just right in line with Di Yun's performance and her performance in complaining to the people.
Not only that, but it can also reasonably explain the criminal evidence collected by the inspection officials, as well as such a large volume of blood books of all people!
After Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, he nodded thoughtfully and said: "It is very possible. We need to check it carefully before talking about it."
"Sister, what do you think?"
After Empress Ma pondered for a moment, she immediately said, "I don't think we should let the people below check it out."
"Let him be reinstated first, and then we will go and investigate in person. If he is really a man who is not afraid of the powerful and has great talents, he will definitely become your right-hand man."
Zhu Yuanzhang just walked to the door and looked in the direction of Datong, his eyes changing from deep to deep and firm.
"Okay, just do as you say."
"It just so happens that we haven't been to the north since the founding of the country!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's stomach growled.
At the same time, he looked at Queen Ma, who was sitting on the dragon throne, and said seriously: "This is our seat!"
"What do you want to do, usurp the throne?"
Empress Ma just smiled softly, and then reminded her gently: "Chongba, you forgot, you stood up just as you were talking, and you pressed me on this dragon chair."
"What?"
"I just gave you an idea, and you're going to kill the donkey?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly slapped his forehead, and then said with a smile: "Sister, we are just joking with you, let's go and eat."
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang went to court as usual.
At the same time, the eunuch who passed the order also went straight to the death row with the imperial edict to reinstate Di Yunguan.
And at this moment,
Di Yun was lying leisurely in the cell where he was held, with a smile on his face.
Because his thoughts have returned to the modern metropolis that he has longed for.
"The car is full of entertainment, the beauty in black stockings dances beside me, and I am the emperor on the yacht."
Just when he was thinking about the future, footsteps came from outside the prison door.
After Di Yun saw the eunuch holding the imperial edict, a smile appeared on the corner of Di Yun's mouth, as if a conspiracy had succeeded.
The eunuch opened the imperial edict and said: "Di Yun, the magistrate of Datong County, accept the edict!"...
