Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 101 Deep understanding of the spirit
The first morning court after the new king succeeded to the throne, just like this came to an end, but the impact of this morning court has just begun.

After the dynasty was over, Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Dali Temple who was in charge of the presiding trial, brought Jiang Yuan, the minister of punishment, to the yamen of Dali Temple.

You should know that although it is said that there is a joint trial by the three divisions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate usually only supervises judicial matters to ensure that there are no improper actions during the interrogation process, and the real work is done by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple.

Because of this, among the three law departments, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment have relatively close contacts and good relationships.

Generally speaking, if it is an ordinary serious case, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is responsible for the trial and judgment, and the Dali Temple will review the case. If a review by the three divisions is required, the Dali Temple will preside over it.

But this time, due to the special circumstances of the case and the absence of the head of the criminal department, Zhu Qiyu directly appointed Dali Temple to preside over it.

The two of them sat down in the official office and served refreshments. Yu Shiyue didn't play any riddles, and just spoke directly.

"Jiang Shilang, to tell you the truth, I am a little uncertain about the emperor's will today, and I want to discuss it with you."

In fact, the position of Dali Siqing is still very embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, you can't go up or down.

In terms of dignity, according to the court system, Dali Siqing is one of the nine ministers, and should be a big boss in the court.

But in fact, although the imperial court system is like this, only the Qiqing composed of the six ministers and Zuodu Yushi will be recognized in the imperial court.

But to say that the status is not high, it is not.

As a prudent institution for reviewing criminal cases, Dali Temple belongs to the highest judicial organ in the country, and its real power is quite heavy.

Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Dali Temple, is one level weaker than Qiqing, but compared to the Six Ministers, he is one level higher.

Just stuck in the middle!

So he didn't dare to discuss it with Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, so he could only drag Jiang Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of punishment.

Jiang Yuan and him are also old acquaintances, he said with a wry smile.

"To tell you the truth, Yu Siqing, I am also confused now. Originally, the emperor said that they should be dealt with according to the law. I thought he was planning to let them go, but looking at the appearance of the former emperor, it doesn't look like... "

Yu Shiyue moved her cheeks, looking like she had a toothache.

Who said no?
Among other things, Jin Yiwei has always been directly under the emperor, this time the emperor even sent Jin Yiwei to cooperate with them, it seems that he wants to calm things down.

wait...

Jin Yiwei?
It was as if a lightning had passed through Yu Shiyue's mind, and his whole body trembled.

"Jiang Shilang, tell me, this case has already been concluded. Even if there is a retrial, it means a new trial and a new punishment. Your Majesty...why did you send Jin Yiwei over?"

Jiang Yuan is also a veteran criminal, subconsciously said.

"Of course I have to catch..."

After talking halfway, Jiang Yuan couldn't sit still.

What does Jin Yiwei do?Of course it is to catch people!

The criminals in this case are all locked up in prison, do they need to be arrested?

Now Jiang Yuan couldn't sit still anymore, stood up from the chair, frowned, looked at Yu Shiyue, and said in a low voice.

"Si Qing means that the emperor wants to implicate him?"

This implicated connection does not refer to the implicated connection of the nine clans, but refers to the scope.

One must know that before Wang Zhen was very powerful, there were many officials involved in the court regardless of civil or military affairs.

Maybe they were forced to do nothing, maybe they were taking advantage of the opportunity, all in all, if you really look at it carefully, there are too many of them, and some of them are even in high positions.

You must know that although most of the officials who had good friends with Wang Zhen were taken away in this personal conquest, but the court is so big, there will always be a few who did not go.

Among other things, they are not the ones who can provoke Mr. Jingyuan Bo, Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of Dali Temple, Mr. Wang Ji, who is currently overseeing the army in the southwest.

But no one in the government and the public knows that Mr. Wang was impeached for his crimes, and it was Wang Zhenli who was able to survive.

Many other officials, large and small, were more or less involved with Wang Zhen.

These things can be big or small.

To put it in a small way, it was a helpless move due to the situation.

In a big way, if you really want to make use of the problem, you won't be able to kill it, but it may not be impossible to dismiss a large number of people from office.

All in all, if the investigation is based on the standard of being involved with Wang Zhen, it is enough to cause an official earthquake.

Because of this, although their punishment was heavy this time, it basically did not involve the famous officials of the imperial court.

Those who were sentenced to beheaded were either Wang Zhen's best friends, the ones who were certain, or those who were valued by him but had low official positions.

The purpose is to avoid trouble, but who would have thought that things would develop into this inexplicably...

The sweat on Jiang Yuan's head broke out in bursts, and he couldn't help crying in his heart.

How did this thing that was a surefire thing suddenly become a hot potato?

Yu Shiyue also stood up, walking back and forth in the room, trying to recall in his mind the emperor's every move in the palace.

After a long while, Yu Shiyue sat down on Jiang Yuan's shoulder and said slowly.

"For the time being, it doesn't need to be like this, or maybe you and I are worrying too much. Even if the emperor really wants to punish so many officials in the court, he will not choose at this time."

Although Yu Shiyue's words did not seem to be so confident, but people are often more inclined to believe what they want to believe at such times.

So Jiang Yuan also settled down, nodded and said.

"That's right. Now that the enemy is at hand, the capital still focuses on stability, and then the new emperor succeeds to the throne. I'm afraid they won't be involved in any way."

Yu Shiyue also said: "That's true. What's more, the emperor said that they should all be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. That is to say, His Majesty didn't think about really making things big."

Being involved with Wang Zhen depends on the situation.

There were indeed some people in the imperial court who took refuge in Wang Zhen as his minions.

But more, they want to use Wang Zhen's power to speak good words for themselves in front of the emperor.

In fact, there is no way to say right or wrong about this kind of thing, after all, at that time, the imperial court was controlled by Wang Zhen.

It is difficult to clarify whether the friendship with Wang Zhen is due to official business or something else.

It would be fine if the emperor didn't say that it should be dealt with according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, but since it is to be done according to the law, there must be sufficient evidence.

After all, there is no regulation in the Law of the Ming Dynasty, and normal official business contacts should be punished, even if the people who come and go are treacherous officials and eunuchs.

The two comforted each other, finally calming down temporarily.

However, after a while, Jiang Yuan frowned again.

"Master Siqing, if the emperor doesn't intend to make a big fuss, then why is he making such a fuss?"

Yu Shiyue pondered for a moment, looked in the direction of Miyagi, and said meaningfully.

"Jiang Shilang, logically speaking, if it is aimed at court officials or common people, it only needs to be dealt with by the Shuntian Mansion or the Ministry of Punishment. However, the emperor dispatched Jin Yiwei this time. I am afraid that it is not just to show that he attaches great importance to this matter, right?"

Following Yu Shiyue's gaze, Jiang Yuan also looked in the direction of Miyagi, trying to understand the meaning of Yu Shiyue's words, and he couldn't help but start to sweat again.

If this is true...the disturbance will not be small!
What a crime he did!
Sighing, Jiang Yuan smiled wryly and said: "In the past, when I had Lao Shangshu around, I always felt that these ministries were easy to handle. Now that the situation is difficult, I only know the benefits of having Lao Shangshu in charge."

If Master Shang Shu was in the capital, how could it be his turn to handle such a difficult matter with a servant.

This matter has to be changed to Lord Shang Shu, who has already entered the palace and asked the emperor directly.

What's the use of guessing here?

Now he is just a servant, he can't afford to offend this one, and he can't offend anyone, he is worried about this and that, and he is worried every day.

When will this day be the end!
Yu Shiyue patted Jiang Yuan's shoulder comfortingly.

During these days, among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry have no ministers in charge. It is not easy for the Ministry of Punishment to encounter such a big case.

After thinking for a while, Yu Shiyue asked: "Master Jin is overseeing the army to put down the rebellion, so he should be back soon, right?"

Jiang Yuan nodded, his complexion finally improved: "When the accident happened a few days ago, Yu Shangshu went to remonstrate with the emperor and recalled Ningyanghou and Shangshu Boss. Counting the days, it will be about three or two days. , it’s time to go to the capital.”

The atmosphere in the room finally became a little more active, Yu Shiyue said with a smile: "It is said that the suppression of the rebellion went smoothly, but the smoggy land in the southwest has caused the boss to suffer."

"That's true. It is said that the old man was not in good health a few days ago, and now he was recalled urgently. He was exhausted all the way, and he might have to rest for a while when he arrived in the capital."

Sighing, Jiang Yuan smiled wryly and said, "It seems that I can't avoid the work of the three divisions' interrogation."

Regarding Jiang Shilang's experience, Yu Siqing said that it turned out that seeing others being miserable than him made him feel that he was not so miserable, and it was true...
