Unjust case, wrongful conviction.
Unjust killing, wrongful killing.
It's all in the past, what should be rehabilitated has been rehabilitated, what else do they want, do they have to go to Lao Zhu to explain why he killed his family?
Zhu Yunwen held the list and issued a decree: "Those who give them instructions, admit their mistakes, and explain their problems will all immigrate to Beizhili. Those who do not cooperate will have their heads killed and their wives and children immigrated."
Gu Sanshen looked at Zhu Yunwen and realized that this punishment was too light to deter the enemy, so he advised: "I think not killing him is not enough punishment."
Zhu Yunwen didn't want to kill these people, but the problem was that this was a complete tragedy. There were four major cases during the Hongwu period, which could even be said to be the four major unjust cases. Although some of the principal criminals deserved to be killed, the trend should not expand to the point where it was almost out of control.
"Let this matter end here."
Zhu Yunwen gave up killing not out of kindness, but out of compassion and sympathy.
Gu Sanshen had no choice but to agree to leave.
After the policy discussion, Zhu Yunwen only read the policy discussions of three people, Xue Lu, Ji Gang and Yuan Yue.
Xue Lu believed that military training and opponents should be combined. The main enemy of the Ming Dynasty was Bei Yuan. If he wanted to defend the enemy from outside the country, he should lead the cavalry. He proposed the training idea of "big horse field, big cavalry", and proposed to cooperate with Duoyan Guard, Duoyan Guard, etc. Fu Yuwei organized cavalry sparring, set rewards, and worked hard.
Ji Gang was obviously not as good as Xue Lu in terms of the overall situation. He advocated that military training should be about loyalty, absolute obedience to orders, and under the battle order, no one could fight to the death without an order. This kind of thinking is also consistent with his logic: My people must obey my orders.
Yuan Yue was different because he was born in Guangxi and participated in the war with Annan. In terms of military training and fighting the enemy, he focused more on the direction of Annan and made an astonishing judgment:
The main enemy of the Ming Dynasty was Beiyuan, but the early enemy was Annan. In large-scale battles between the north and the south, the south should be fought first and then the north.
Being able to see through this shows that Yuan Yue has an excellent strategic vision and is a malleable talent.
After discussing with their colleagues, Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu reported to Zhu Yunwen to choose the sixty Chinese martial arts examinations, and nominated Xue Lu, Ji Gang, and Yuan Yue for the top prize, second place, and top prize respectively.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the list and pondered for a long time, but ultimately did not make any changes.
Although Ji Gang is very ambitious, in terms of ability alone, he deserves to be ranked second among the more than 300 martial arts candidates. His performance in the teaching field is solid.
No matter where he goes in the future, at least he is an excellent martial artist now.
"How do you plan to deal with those who fail the martial arts competition?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Tie Xuan and Xu Huizu were confused by the question. They looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. If you have failed the exam, you will naturally come back three years later. What else will you do?
Zhu Yunwen didn't think so.
According to common sense, people who take the martial arts exam and those who take the civil exam are pretty much the same. Those who fail the civil exam will go home and study for another three years. After improving their knowledge, there is still hope. After the martial arts graduates return home and practice for another three years, their strength and accuracy will improve, and there is still hope.
But the current reality is somewhat inconsistent with common sense.
When the imperial examination begins, it is suitable for all ages. Regardless of whether you are an eight-year-old prodigy or an eighty-year-old naughty boy, as long as you can walk and have the ability, you can enter the examination room.
But the martial arts examination is a special event for young and middle-aged people. Minors and grandfathers are not allowed to enter. In addition, this year is the first time that the Ming Dynasty has held a martial arts examination. Not all people participating in the martial arts examination are young people, such as Xue Lu, who is already forty-two-three this year.
The older martial arts candidates are particularly outstanding in this martial arts examination. The average age of the 369 martial arts examination candidates is 36 years old, and the oldest is over 50. If they are allowed to go home and stay for another three years, I am afraid they will get older. Coming weaker and weaker. Therefore, for the first batch of martial arts candidates, even if they do not have Chinese style, we must find a way to give them a chance.
Tie Xuan understood Zhu Yunwen's concerns and suggested: "Since the south of Guangxi is not peaceful, let these martial arts candidates make their own choices. If they are willing to return to their hometowns for three years to wait for the exam, then they are allowed to return to their hometowns. If they want to risk their future, then Then he entered the military camp and went to Guangxi to serve as a hundred households, general banner, and small banner."
Xu Huizu agreed with Tie Xuan's arrangement and added: "After three years, he can be allowed to take the exam again. If he dies in battle, he can receive a first-grade pension according to his position and military merit."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly: "In that case, let's arrange it like this. As for the strategy of joining the army, it can be arranged to be announced after Wu Jinshi is passed on. It is a free choice without forcing it. But if there is no difficult reason, those who choose to stay in the capital, no matter how talented they are , will not be reused.”
"According to the order."
Tie Xuan and Xu Hui Zu agreed.
Although Zhu Yunwen's last words were directed at all martial arts practitioners, in his heart, they were only directed at Ji Gang.
Fengyang is not far from the capital, more than 400 miles, and it only takes a little more than a day for a quick horse to arrive. However, because the bandit leader of the White Lotus Sect is being escorted, the journey is a bit slow.
Li Fangying was guarding Fengyang, so she could not enter the capital without orders. However, Li Fangying still wanted to keep the heads of Buddha Mother and Sun Tianyou in her hands, so she appointed her confidant Li Guo to accompany the security bureau to the capital.
It's easy to take care of a human head, but not a living person. Even if you're in a prison car, you can't gallop around day and night. By the time we crossed the Yangtze River and arrived outside Nanjing, the martial arts examination had been over for three days.
Liu Changge looked at the familiar city of Nanjing and held the reins a little tight. Yue Sihai and others had already dismounted and followed Liu Changge.
The horseshoes trampled on the concrete road, and the pure iron horseshoes hit the road, making a crisp sound.
"Is this a concrete road?"
Liu Changge was very curious and looked back and forth.
Yue Sihai remembered that Liu Changge had been in Daning outside the customs. He took the sea route back home and had never really seen a concrete road. Although there is a section of concrete road outside Fengyang City, the construction has been stopped due to winter, and Liu Changge has been laying out the layout in the city, so he has no intention to see it.
"Yes, this kind of road is much better than the ordinary official road. Even in rainy days, there will be no delay if the horse is moving or the cannon is distracted."
Yue Sihai introduced, pointing to the direction in which the concrete extended, and introduced how far the concrete road had been built and when it would be possible to connect Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Liu Changge was full of praise and said: "I heard that Beiping and Datong are building concrete roads, and I have never understood the secret. Now it seems that the emperor is really wise and powerful. Once there are these roads at the border, there will be no need to watch the soldiers maneuver in the future. God’s face.”
Yue Sihai also believes that the main thing is not the heavy snow blocking roads or landslides, but there will be no obstacles to the march of the army and the transfer of supplies.
Da da da!
The sound of horse hooves could be heard, and the people and merchants on the street hurriedly avoided it.
Liu Changge heard the commotion and looked over, only to see dozens of cavalry running out of the city gate, with the flag of the Security Bureau waving high. After the cavalry, there were more than 300 Security Bureau personnel, all wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives. Arriving in neat lines.
Security Bureau commander Shi Gu Sanshen, command colleagues Xue Xia and Xiong Wucheng, and other security bureau personnel such as Tang Buping, Qianhu Guo Gang, Pang Huan, etc. arrived on horseback.
Gu Sanshen and everyone else dismounted one after another.
"The Security Bureau will review it for the third time!"
"Xue Xia!"
"Xiongwu Cheng!"
"..."
"Welcome Security Bureau veteran Liu Changge back to Beijing!"
Gu Sanshen salutes!
All the people from the Security Bureau saluted and shouted: "Welcome Security Bureau veteran Liu Changge back to Beijing!"
Liu Changge looked at everyone, his heart felt hot, and the originally strong man suddenly burst into tears.
When leaving the capital, Liu Changge did not shed any tears.
When facing the wind and snow outside Daning Pass, Liu Changge did not shed any tears.
Faced with the hidden leader of the White Lotus Sect in Fengyang, Liu Changge did not shed any tears when he finally defeated the White Lotus after staying awake for several days and nights.
Now, Liu Changge wanted to cry.
This is my brother, the brother I have been away from for a long time!
Liu Changge took a step forward, grabbed Gu Sanshen's arm, lifted it up, looked at Gu Sanshen's tearful eyes, and scolded: "The Security Bureau acts in a low-key manner and is never public. How can you break the rules? Get up and go back!"
Gu Sanshen looked at Liu Changge with a grin and said with a smile: "Living in Daning, he spied on countless intelligences and made great contributions to stabilizing the overall situation outside the customs. He also captured the leader of the White Lotus bandit in Fengyang and protected the imperial city of Zhongdu. Such merit is deserved. Make an exception.”
Liu Changge also wanted to persuade, but Xue Xia, who was standing next to Gu Sanshen, said: "We originally planned to hold a banquet at the headquarters to cleanse you from the dust, but the emperor did not allow it. He said that we would hold a banquet in the palace to entertain you, and brothers would take advantage of you. , I can have a good meal today."
"The emperor arranged it?"
Liu Changge understood.
Xiong Wucheng stepped forward and punched Liu Changge on the chest, saying: "The security bureau has such strict rules. Who would dare to be so flamboyant without the emperor's order?"
"Let's go into the city."
Yue Sihai came over.
"Wait."
Gu Sanshen turned around and made a gesture. Tang Buping led the security bureau personnel to pass by in an orderly manner. When he arrived at the prison car, he checked Han Tianfu, Yu Chou's mother and others. When he saw that no one was dead, he turned around and Ask the Buddha where the head is.
Li Guo didn't want to take out the Buddha Mother's head and said that he needed to present it to the emperor. Tang Buping didn't care about his reasons, he pulled out the knife and put it on Li Guo's neck, and Buddha Mother's head fell into the hands of the security bureau.
Tang Buping ordered people to hang the heads of Buddha Mother and Sun Tianyou on poles. He also found gongs and signboards. After checking that they were correct, he returned to the front and told Gu Sanshen: "Everything is ready, you can enter the city."
Gu Sanshen raised his hand and shouted: "Enter the city!"
Before Liu Changge could react, the sound of gongs was heard behind him, and a sergeant shouted: "The White Lotus cult, the Buddha Mother is dead, and the bandit leader is lying in wait. The court has banned White Lotus. If you encounter it, you will be arrested and killed."
The security bureau held up heads, pressed prison cars, beat gongs and shouted. They passed through Zhengyang Gate without entering, and then turned to Tongji Gate. After entering the city, they walked to Zhongcheng, passed by the Imperial College, the teaching field, etc., and the momentum was overwhelming.
It was difficult for the common people, businessmen and gentry in the city not to know, and there were not a few onlookers. However, the head was swinging back and forth on the pole, which really frightened many children and made them cry.
After this day of beating, the parents started to scare the children by saying: If you don't obey again, the White Lotus Sect will deal with you.
Liu Changge understood Zhu Yunwen's intention. He wanted to take advantage of the numerous people gathered in the capital and tell the world that the White Lotus Sect was a cult and no one was allowed to participate. Catch them, and kill them as soon as they are caught. This kind of head-on threat will be accompanied by business travelers from other places, spreading the news all over the country, warning people everywhere to keep a distance from the White Lotus Sect.
There were also indignant people among the people, and there were also nefarious aunts and uncles who robbed someone's eggs and cabbage and started throwing them at the prison car. This was fine, but the elder brother was not encouraged to throw the weights.
Liu Changge looked at Gu Sanshen and asked doubtfully: "I just passed the Security Bureau headquarters. There are obviously no people in that alleyway. There is no need to walk, so why are you still walking?"
Gu Sanzhen looked at the high wall and said meaningfully: "This is a special instruction from the emperor. Maybe he wants to tell someone that the Buddha Mother is dead and her death is not far away."
