Chapter 411.
Zhu Di has apparently become more and more interested in this.
As if he had discovered a new continent, he gazed at Liu Zhan with a strange look.
And it is well known that His Majesty is most interested in two things in ministers.
That is, how did the minister suddenly have the silver, and the second is that this person is involved in a conspiracy.
It can be said that with regard to these two points, Zhu Di is indeed in the same lineage as Emperor Gao, the Great Ancestor.
Zhang Anshi continued: “Liu Zhan’s relatives, these years, can be said to be overnight wealth, in which his younger brother Liu Zhou, in recent years, placed a thousand acres of good land, suddenly, from the unusual solid family, turn the eye of the waist ten thousand, I heard that he had also specifically invited the Qinhuai River troupe, rolling thousands of miles, to go to Yudu for him to sing, alone reward for the spending, there are hundreds of two more. ”
“And ……”
Zhu Di was excited, but still waved his hand with a smile, but looked at Liu Zhan: “Zhang Qing, you don’t have to say anything, let him say it!”
Liu Zhan heard, at this time also slowly from the grief and anger gradually calm down, he felt a trace of difference, smelled a trace of unusual meaning.
To a certain extent, Liu Zhan has a golden body, the so-called golden body, that is, he is a clear stream, so he can speak out, even if the emperor is offended, but also can say that this is righteousness, is to do the duty of the courtier, he is in line with the highest morality of the speech officer, if your majesty therefore punished me, then you Zhu Di is not a thing, you will teach the hundreds of officials to chill the heart, it is to be closed to the road of speech.
But what Zhang Anshi took out this day, is to break his golden body, at that moment, he struggled to breathe, want to do everything to come out from his own bereavement, and then period, said: ”Your Majesty …… Your Majesty …… Chen these years. I do have some savings, but it is all due to thrift and frugality and good financial management. Yi Chuan” said: accumulation of good family, there will be a surplus of celebration, accumulation of bad family, there will be a surplus of disaster. I restrain myself and cultivate my body, and widely accumulate good virtues ……”
Zhang Anshi coldly said: “So, because you usually accumulate virtue, so the silver has grown legs, all run to your home? This can be interesting, this silver could be also become a spirit?”
Zhang Anshi’s words to this a few minutes of flirting flavor, but it is not difficult to hear the inner mockery.
Liu Zhan ignored Zhang Anshi.
But he ignored, Zhang Anshi but hunger and thirst in general, continue to over his mouth: “If so, under the sky who has silver, who will have virtue! But as far as I know, your great-grandfather and grandfather, is not a rich family, is it because your ancestors lack of virtue?”
This is clearly scolding Liu Zhan, but Zhu Di is sitting still, his heart turned over.
As we all know, Zhu Di’s grandfather and great-grandfather, that is a real poor man, even say poor is considered polite!
If really according to Zhang Anshi this explanation, is not ……
Liu Zhan shyly said, “Don’t you confuse things.”
Zhang Anshi said with a stern face, ”Confusing the public? I see that the one who confuses is you! Don’t you think …… things to this day, Jin Yiwei only found out how much silver your family? To other things know nothing, to the present still want to deny?”
Liu Zhan was silent as he listened.
To him, it’s called a desire to be a good person.
One’s own cold window hard study, is not for …… today? Why are you looking for trouble from me?
But he also knows in his heart, many things, really want to come out in the open, even how to whitewash, his majesty will never spare him.
Zhang Anshi obviously, has long been staring at him, as for what Zhang Anshi actually found out, only God knows, now reasonably arguing, may only make a fool of himself.
Therefore, Liu Zhan chose to remain silent.
But how could Zhang Anshi stop there? So to Zhu Di said: “Your Majesty, since the new policy, the people and the people, all benefited. This time outside everywhere there are rumors that this new policy will soon be laid to rest, the military and civilian people for fear, this have risen in line with the trend, to the various official Yamen Chen, and the people Chen, is the rule set by Emperor Taizu high emperor, when Emperor Taizu high emperor had set up the “imperial enjoinment”, had an oracle, said: “the people can take the people of the officials”! ”
Zhang Anshi paused, then said: “The Imperial Letters Patent, detailed specification of the law of the people to take the officials, that is, if the officials are illegal, or oppression of the people, corruption and lawlessness, the people can catch these people, etc., escorted to the capital, the Secretary shall not be asked. Dare to ask your majesty, this “imperial enjoinment”, is the great ancestor of the high emperor of the great ancestor of the book, now the people and the army lost their livelihood, and learned that there are sycophants in the imperial court lightly said that the abolition of the new policy, the army and the people are not angry, is to catch the people to take the officials!”
“And these harmful officials, not only refused to surrender, even dared to counterattack, and now caused deaths and injuries, dare to ask your majesty, what is the relationship between this and the rebellion, catching harmful officials, is the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gaozu, the officials not only do not follow the words of Emperor Taizu Gaozu, ‘there is a division shall not be asked’, but also dared to The officials not only disobeyed the words of Emperor Taizu’s ‘no questioning by the court’, but also dared to call a stag a horse and regarded the good people as a gang of rebels, which is despicable and obvious. I implore Your Majesty to be clear-eyed and judge this case, so as to return the people’s innocence.”
At these words, the hundred officials were again silent.
When Zhang Anshi also understands the law, it suddenly makes people feel a little less comfortable up.
Even Zhu Di couldn’t help but feel strange, so he looked deeply at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi vibrated, at this time since the bottom.
In fact, he did not understand so many laws and decrees of Daming, because so far since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the laws and decrees had gone through a lot of abridgement, not to mention that in addition to the Daming Laws of the Ming Dynasty, there was also the Great Enjoinment, which was added by Emperor Tai Zu Gao in addition to the Daming Laws. In addition to this, there are a large number of written laws, and a variety of former jurisprudence. It can be said …… that it is a chaotic mess.
To put it bluntly, the same thing, you judge from the Daming Law, maybe the guy has to be exiled, but if it comes to the Great Grant, which is what Zhang Anshi called the Imperial Great Grant, he may have to kill his whole family.
Of course, you can even cite some of the recent decrees of the current emperor to interpret the current sentence, which may just be an acquittal. You could still cite some recent edict of the Ministry of Justice or the Da Lisi of such-and-such a year, such-and-such a month, which might not only acquit you, but might also reward you.
Zhang Anshi sort of understood why he was always out of his depth.
Because this hundred officials shoot the arrows before they paint the targets, they are erudite and can always find the articles and laws they want to cover what they want to do.
But now it is different, in Taiping Province, there is also a group of readers, they are employed by various merchants and workshops, daily nothing to do, mainly to study the various laws and regulations, to enter into a deed, or specialized for people to chant, these readers, but also very professional.
Those merchants, is not a fool, although the fish is dead, but also left a way out for themselves, good and bad, from the vastness of the provisions of the law, looking for a rationalization of the excuse, in the Qixia, is under such a banner, began to act.
As the Jinyiwei Commanding General Zhang Anshi, naturally know this well, now these things just come in handy.
Of course, theoretically, the Great Grant of Emperor Taizu Gaozu was actually put on the shelf by Jianwen and even Zhu Di after his death!
Because of the inside of the skin and grass at every turn is too scary, and the people to catch such things as harmful officials, in fact, there is not much practicality.
So everyone was looking at Zhang Anshi speechlessly at this time, this guy jumped out to defend the ancestral law, it really made people feel a little less shameless.
Zhu Di, however, is quite happy, this is good, I maintain the law of the ancestors, to the time of the big show.
But at that moment, someone else slowly stepped forward.
Because Zhang Anshi’s remarks were too dangerous. Or rather, in the view of the hundred officials, if this matter can let Zhang Anshi muddle through logically, then is it not true that in the future, if he Zhang Anshi wants to dig up the graves of the hundred officials, he can instigate the ignorant people, or raise some unruly people, to plunge into everyone’s home?
The person who stood out was Chen Ji, a university scholar of the Hanlin Academy.
Chen Ji said, “Your Majesty, there is indeed an express provision for this in the Imperial Great Grant.”
Zhu nodded, “In that case ……”
“But Your Majesty, I have a word.”
There was a sudden silence in the air.
In this sentence of righteous words, the two sides of the conflict, has reached the point of the same water and fire, so, to a certain extent, now is already poor dagger, everyone do not be polite, fuck guys to me on the stage.
Zhu didn’t move a muscle and only said, “Speak!”
Chen Ji said: ”But as far as I know, the banner of the rebellious people, but the son of heaven is immoral, the world should be discussed together. In addition to this, there is the Wuhu County King is wise, when the replacement. And kill into the Forbidden City and other words, Your Majesty …… I dare to ask, Wuhu County King His Royal Highness mouth, said that this is a good people, but the good people, and dare to mouth such a bad word? What do they want? What purpose do they have? And who instructed them?”
“Your Majesty …… I Ming build pole, the Great Ancestor Gao Emperor to cloth and take the world, and now has already been half a jiazi more, now, but some people are so demonic words to confuse the masses, but also in the capital, gathered 100,000 people, its wolves ambition, has been clearly revealed, Your Majesty can still sit back and watch? ”
After these words were said, the hall became surprisingly cold violently.
Now that’s a real killer!
Because any sentence here is running towards killing Zhang Anshi’s whole family.
Even if His Majesty trusts Zhang Anshi no matter how much, who can be sure that, in case this is really behind it, it is instigated by someone?
This is the foot of the Emperor, the capital, while outside are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, can you afford the risk, Your Majesty?
Moreover, the popularity of the King of Wuhu County is so deep that if His Majesty still trusts Zhang Anshi, is he not even a little bit afraid of overturning the boat in the gutter?
This can even be said to be a yang conspiracy, because …… even if Zhu Di also know, behind this may be something fishy, but all fine to think about what happened today, also should be tossed and turned, can not sleep.
Chen Ji said, kowtowed and said, “I have said all that I can say, all sorts of things in this, your majesty is so wise, you can see clearly, please your majesty think about it.”
Zhang Anshi only grimaced and said nothing.
But these words, however, taught Zhu Gaoqi to shiver. He knew in his heart the power of these words, and with these words alone, it was enough to put Zhang Anshi to death.
Yang Rong glanced at that Chen Ji and frowned slightly even though it was a noncommittal look.
Things have come to this point, it seems that both sides of each other, did not leave any room for maneuver, clearly is running to the fire fight.
And not the slightest expression could be seen on Zhu’s face.
But Chen Ji finished his speech.
But suddenly someone else stood out, the crowd looked, but it was the Ministry of Rites Right Minister Liu Jin.
Liu Jin kowtowed, “I also ask Your Majesty to think twice!”
“I ask Your Majesty to think twice.”
One by one, more people came forward.
Then came more and more people coming forward.
Although this courtroom, not formed a lopsided situation.
Available at ……
“Your Majesty, for the sake of my Daming Jiangshan, this matter …… also needs to be thoroughly investigated to the end, how can we gullibly trust one person? The people even dare to say such words, I dare not imagine, what they will do next? I am grateful to Your Majesty for not abandoning me, and I have this day, if the country is really in danger of collapse, I can only die to repay the grace of God!”
In the middle of this noisy hall.
Zhang Anshi also said in a loud voice, “Your Majesty, there is indeed a rebellion!”
At these words, the crowd looked at Zhang Anshi in unison.
This guy didn’t hit himself?
Chen Ji’s entire body perked up and immediately sneered, “Your Highness the King of Wuhu County, this is not what …… you said just now!”
Zhang Anshi said calmly, “What we said just now was a good people, but a chaotic people is a chaotic people.”
Chen Ji said, “Then who are the disorganized people and who are the good people?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Will it be known?”
“How do we tell?” Chen Ji smiled even colder, but he pressed on step by step.
It could be said that by this time, Zhang Anshi had run out of words.
Because …… no one can tell the hundreds of thousands of people, from the good to the bad!
Moreover, those so-called chaotic people, but each want you Zhang Anshi yellow robe, this layer of relations, you Zhang Anshi can not wash.
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “What if I can tell the difference?”
“Haha ……” Chen Ji laughed out loud, “I never thought that Your Highness still has such great power. Could it be that behind this, it is related to Your Highness?”
“Bold!”
Zhu Di suddenly shouted.
Chen Ji was immediately cautious, the smile on his face was suddenly withdrawn, and he busied himself by saying, “I’ll die a million deaths, I shouldn’t speculate about His Highness the King of Wuhu County for no reason.”
Zhu Di, however, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Zhang Qing, how to distinguish, you say in detail.”
Zhang Anshi said, “The Brocade Guards are already investigating in detail, and I think that there will be results soon.”
Zhu nodded.
But Chen Ji was not willing, so he pursued, “How soon is soon?”
At this time is to hit the snake to hit seven inches, since it will never give Zhang Anshi a chance to breathe.
Zhang Anshi still did not show half a trace of panic, smiled and said, “I see …… that it is just this one or two hours.”
This sentence directly blocked Chen Ji.
But just at this time, suddenly a eunuch hurriedly came and said, “Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei Commanding Officer Tongzhi Chen Li, escorted hundreds of people to see, said that …… found a chaotic party ……”
These words were like smashing down a thunderbolt, and the group of ministers immediately whispered.
No one expected it to be this fast.
Of course, Chen Ji was still smiling because he knew clearly that Zhang Anshi could not wash his hands of these matters.
Zhu Di said, “Where are the people?”
“Beyond the Noon Gate.”
“Why not escort them to the palace immediately?”
This eunuch appeared to be in a difficult position and said, “Your Majesty …… there are just too many people …… only afraid… …I’m only afraid ……”
Zhu Di looked deeply impressed, and at this time, he felt that this Chen Li, acted quite steadily.
At that moment, he said on the spot, “Then I will move and go and see for myself.”
Said, also do not care about the reaction of the group of ministers, immediately get up and go to the noon gate.
The hundred officials then had to be escorted.
Chen Ji people and so on, hidden crowd, at this time, they have a premonition that things are already under control.
Because in their view, no matter how many people handed over, can continue to throw dirty water, either to say that some randomly arrested people to fill the number, or can say, this may be a bitter trick.
Zhu Gaoqi, on the other hand, deliberately slowed down his steps and moved a little farther away from the Holy Driver.
He raised an eyebrow with a few worried tones and glanced sideways towards Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi then stepped forward and assisted Zhu Gaoqi.
Zhu Gaoqi whispered, “How did it come to this?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Don’t worry brother-in-law, soon all the truth will be revealed.”
Zhu Gaoqi sighed: “You ah, this kind of thing is not washable, you do not understand ……”
“Wash clear.” Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Is brother-in-law still not assured of me? If we’re talking about good bravery, I may not be good at it, but when it comes to how to protect myself, I’m a professional.”
Zhu Gaoqi: “……”
Zhu Gaoqi frowned and said, “Fangcai father …… is suspicious?”
Zhang Anshi said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, His Majesty is not an ordinary person.”
Zhu Gaoqi gently shook his head and said, “Your sister is right, you once did not know things, but only laughed and played, and made small mistakes. Now you know things, but knowing things is what scares people and teaches them to worry, you are capable of stabbing the sky down.”
Zhang Anshi’s neck shrank in fear, and he said with an innocent face, “If the sky really falls apart, you can’t blame me, it’s all because of what Sister said, brother-in-law you have to testify for me.”
Zhu Gaoqi: “……”
At this time, outside the Noon Gate, Chen Li rate of Jin Yiwei officers and schools, has long been respectful, waiting patiently here.
As soon as he saw that the holy carriage had arrived, he immediately led the crowd in a great salute, saying, “We have met Your Majesty, long live the Emperor.”
Zhu Di dismounted from his riding carriage, led the hundred officials, and steadily walked up to a group of Chinchilla criminals.
Looking at this group of oppressive people, the number of people as many as three to four hundred people, one by one, tied up, and even a lot of people, has long been a windy look.
As soon as they saw Zhu, they all bowed down and begged for mercy.
Zhu Di back hand, his face is not angry, but smiled, his eyes, seems to be flashing something, and then, he calmly said, “Zhang Qing …… people are captured, right?”
Zhang Anshi hurriedly stepped forward and said, “All of them have been taken, and there are almost no fish that have escaped the net. But they are all small characters, the real big fish …… hehehehehehe ……”
There were obviously a few deeper meanings in those words.
Zhu Di obviously also understand, but is lamented: “really not easy ah, the fee of a hundred efforts, Zhang Qing can be considered to these people are all excited out, I am still afraid that they are not out of the turtle.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty, I don’t have such a worry, these people of theirs, dogs jump over the wall, but whenever there is an opportunity, they will surely try every means to fish in troubled waters, this is the best opportunity for them, how can they miss it?”
Two people look like self-concerned talk about the right, but suddenly, behind the group of ministers, each shudder.
…………
There’s more in the evening, the last few hours, and the monthly passes are going to be voided.
