As the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Jianshen knew that his whole life would be shrouded in lies.
But this kind of lie that was nothing but beautiful words was still difficult for Zhu Jianshen to accept.
He is the emperor.
He's not a fool.
How could such flattery make him feel happy?
These people told themselves the words they used to praise their ancestors.
The historical evaluation of the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di, who was in the prosperous Yongle era, was directly given to himself.
He was somewhat unable to bear it.
There’s no shame in that either.
He looked at Xu Youzhen, and after a moment, he sighed and said: "My dear friends, what you said is a little too much. I still have self-knowledge, and I hope that all my dear friends can also have self-knowledge. If I do Without self-awareness, the people will suffer, and I will become a foolish king. If you don’t have self-awareness, you will definitely fall behind."
After listening to the emperor's words, Xu Youzhen quickly replied loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand."
The reason Xu Youzhen replied so quickly was because she was afraid that if those people said something else, her image would be really dragged down. BIquGe.biz
Li Xian and Han Yong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the emperor's words.
However, it also made Han Yong make up his mind.
We must fight Xu Youzhen to the end.
Otherwise, Xu Youzhen will continue to gain power, and then the whole court will be filled with villains like him. What should we do?
Thinking of this, Han Yong, who was standing behind Xu Youzhen, shot his eyes like swords at Xu Youzhen's slightly broad back.
Xu Youzhen, who was standing in front, seemed to feel Han Yong's hostility. She turned her head and glanced at Han Yong. Then she saw Han Yong's cold eyes and couldn't help but feel numb.
It's over.
Now, in Han Yong's heart, I am the embodiment of flattery and rebellion.
After Zhu Jianshen listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he no longer cared about exaggerating his emotions.
He really didn't dare to lay the groundwork.
I just laid the groundwork, trying to exaggerate the surrounding atmosphere and add a touch of tension, but I suddenly attracted so many licking dogs, each of them looked upright and sanctimonious, and said nice things, but they didn't think about themselves at all. Shameless.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhan Yang and others who were still standing outside the queue, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Why don't you move out quietly? What are you waiting for? Wait for me to praise you.
"My dear friends, please return to your seats."
Zhan Yang, Wang Miao and others responded in unison: "I obey the order." and returned to their positions.
"I just asked you, but I couldn't answer the words of everyone who loves you, but there are some things I still want to say."
"I heard that there was a young official in Xi'an Prefecture who broke the national law, alarmed the Yamen, and was sentenced to death. Although several years have passed, he is still alive and can still walk around the city with swagger. When I first heard about it, I was quite shocked. , The laws of the Ming Dynasty are not just a piece of paper, right?"
"This matter needs to be investigated. All of you, my dear friends, must also investigate and reflect on themselves because of this matter."
From ancient times to the present, there are countless rumors and rumors, which can be passed to the emperor, and be remembered by him. When he tells them all in front of the courtiers, these are not just simple rumors.
No matter whether it is Dongchang Jinyiwei, courtiers, or local vassal kings, they would not dare to tell the emperor directly about the rumors among the people if they were not completely sure.
The emperor knew.
It proves that this thing is true nine times out of ten.
After Zhu Jianshen said these words, the officials in front were also shocked. Of course, they were not frightened because of the rumors about this young official, but His Majesty said these things in front of all officials during the court meeting. come out.
If you want to deal with it directly, you can just order an investigation. There is no need to go through so much trouble and speak out in front of the officials.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the Minister of Justice, then the left and right ministers, and the heads of each department.
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is an old minister named Liu Shang. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Hongxi. He lectured in the Imperial Academy in the third year of Xuande. He was the director of the Ministry of Punishment in the first year of Zhenghua. He was promoted to Minister of Justice in the fourth year of Chenghua. In the thirteenth year of Chenghua, he became the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
This Liu Shang has been a charlatan since he was a child. He began to learn literacy at the age of three, went to a private school to read "Da Xue" at the age of five, studied "The Doctrine of the Mean" at the age of six, studied "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius" at the age of seven, and was able to write first hand at the age of eight. good article. At the age of sixteen, he went to the government examination to become a scholar, and then at the age of twenty-three, he was named on the gold list.
It seems that he has experienced four dynasties, but his actual age is only sixty-five years old.
The left servant's name is Sun Sunyao, forty-two years old, Jinshi in the twelfth year of Zhengtong. The right servant's name is Zhang Shilin, forty-four years old.
The heads of various departments are younger.
If it were said that what the emperor said about the Xi'an Mansion only frightened other ministers. For the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, it was a very uneasy situation, and it was a major matter involving their wealth and life.
Except for serious crimes such as rebellion and rebellion, which are directly punishable by execution, almost all death row inmates must go through a complete process.
The case will be tried by the Ministry of Punishment, reviewed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then sent to Dali Temple for review.
After all three departments had no objections, it was finally submitted to the emperor for final approval.
Zhu Jianshen rarely looked at this check-out, it was all handled by the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Although it seems to involve three bureaucracies, from trial records, compiling files, preserving case files, to the final supervision of executions, almost all are completed independently by the Ministry of Punishment.
Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Division recorded the case, they were not directly involved in the final execution.
If something goes wrong, the Ministry of Punishment is the one most responsible...
"Li Shoufu, this matter is of great importance. Please recommend someone to me and ask him to go to Xi'an and meet with this family for a while." Zhu Jianshen arranged this matter for Li Xian after seeing the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.
"Yes, Your Majesty..."
His Majesty the Emperor bypassed the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Department, and even the Criminal Department for this matter, which was very strange.
The officials lowered their heads and moved their eyes wildly, trying to detect some of the emperor's intentions.
After Zhu Jianshen had just arranged the matter, a young eunuch walked up to Zhang Bao calmly and whispered to Zhang Bao: "Eunuch Zhang, there is news from Nangong that the Supreme Emperor is unconscious, and the two palace emperors are... The Queen Mother is in front of the Emperor's bedside and wants His Majesty to come over earlier."
After Zhang Bao heard this, his expression changed, and then he asked in a low voice: "The queen mothers of both palaces are here."
The little eunuch nodded quickly. After Zhang Bao got the answer, he waved to the little eunuch and motioned for him to go down...
After the little eunuch went down, he looked at the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen had already noticed Zhang Bao's actions. When Zhang Bao looked at the emperor, Zhu Jianshen waved his hand to him, indicating that he should come forward to speak.
And Zhang Bao slowly came to Zhu Jianshen's side and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, it seems, it seems that it is not possible."
When Zhu Jianshen heard this, he was stunned for a moment. Wasn't he fine a few days ago? Why did he suddenly stop?
Although he had long been prepared for the dutiful son to fall into the basin and lose his father, the Supreme Emperor...
But after all, he is still Zhu Qizhen's son. If he doesn't feel a little moved in his heart, it is impossible.
However, Zhu Jianshen's shock was only for a moment.
Zhu Jianshen nodded to Zhang Bao: "You go down and make arrangements first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Bao nodded in agreement, and then went down the jade steps. In front of many officials, he always maintained his demeanor as a great eunuch, but after arriving at the back hall, his expression changed again and again, and he became a little flustered. .
At this time, Zhang Bao was different from Zhu Jianshen. There was no sadness in his heart.
Zhang Bao was walking with wind all over his body, as if he was more than ten years younger. The panic on his face gradually disappeared. The corners of his mouth were throbbing unconsciously, but he strongly suppressed his urge to laugh.
In his heart, he had no feelings for the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, but his feelings for the emperor were very deep.
Deep in his heart at this time, there was only excitement and ecstasy, and he felt his head suddenly rise.
The Supreme Emperor is finally dying.
If he dies, His Majesty's greatest threat will disappear from this world forever and ever.
And His Majesty's threat is gone.
I, Zhang Bao, an old dog, can now close his eyes with peace of mind...
