I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu is a good person in essence. The official mansion has deep moats and high walls with vicious dogs. The Jinyi guards patrol all day long and check when entering and leaving. However, the construction of the official mansion is an out-and-out luxury mansion. I did my best.

He lives and lets others live.

He also doesn't want to vent his anger like this, and make a show like this. Isn't it embarrassing for the New Year's Eve?
He didn't want to, but he still smashed the Chaoyang County Hall, smashing it so thoroughly that even the plaque hanging high in the mirror was smashed, and then he walked away.

Yin of Shuntian Mansion is concurrently held by Xiao Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites. This Minister of Rites, Xiao Xuan, is in prison. The Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion doesn't know what happened, it's a disaster from heaven.

It is known inside and outside the capital that His Majesty lost his temper, and lost his temper, but little is known about the reason for this temper, and the military scribe of the Chaoyang County Hall knew the whole story, but he took this matter The matter rotted in the stomach and never mentioned it to others.

This year, some people are destined to have a bad year.

The Wucheng soldiers and horses still don't know what kind of catastrophe they have escaped.

Zhu Qiyu returned to the lecture hall, sitting on the soft rattan chair, still depressed.

"Yu Shaobao, do you think it's difficult to build the capital and publicize the road, or is it difficult to register for the butcher Xiao Zhang?" Zhu Qiyu asked sullenly.

"Of course it's difficult for Xiao Zhang butcher to enter the house." Yu Qian answered with certainty.

The Jingxuan Chi Road is decided by His Majesty, and Yu Qian, the head of all officials of the Ming Dynasty, supervises it personally, and the cooperation of the Ming Dynasty’s Jingying officials and factories will be unimpeded in the six departments.
However, it would be extremely difficult for Butcher Zhang to apply for a household registration. If it wasn't for the help, Butcher Zhang would probably only be able to go on like this.

He looked at Yu Qian and asked rather puzzled: "Little butcher Zhang goes home every year. Our Daming Beijing Camp is not a prison cell. Once you go in, you can't go back. There are fifteen days a year when you can go home to visit your relatives. This neighbor Who doesn't know the butcher Xiao Zhang?"

"Rules are indeed rules. This butcher is dead, so the three neighbors in the neighborhood are guarantors, so it can't be used as evidence? Do you want little butcher Zhang to prove that he is the son of butcher Zhang?"

"Our Ming officials, when it comes to their own interests, start to be flexible. When it comes to this kind of thing, don't you know how to be flexible?"

"As soon as they come to the people, they talk about rules and regulations, that is, the rules are bigger than the sky. When they come to their own heads, they are not allowed in principle. That is to say, they can be flexible according to the actual situation. This is our Ming Dynasty. official!"

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty who was still losing his temper. His Majesty summed up the bureaucratic style so well that Yu Qian didn't know how to add an explanation.

As for the case of Butcher Zhang, didn’t Butcher Zhang go to another place to join the army, he became a Long March athlete, the general died in hundreds of battles, and the strong man returned after ten years. Butcher Zhang would go home every Chinese New Year to visit his relatives. Butcher Zhang's identity?
Yu Qian was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, is it possible that Xiao Xuan said hello, which is why these scribes are so rigid? It has been several years since the Beijing camp has been under the law, and I have never heard of such a thing in other places. There are more than 130 people, this is not an exception, it is a common phenomenon. "…

"The word has been passed down from above, and the people who work below don't dare to change it? Can't they change it?"

This is completely responsible for the above, it looks like this, if the top farts, the bottom smells good.One or two is an exception, and the 130 cases are not exceptions, but someone is doing something bad on purpose.

"Is Xiao Xuan so stupid?" Zhu Qiyu agreed with part of Yu Qian's remarks.

Of course, the monarchs and ministers are well aware that this is just a rhetoric, someone has to take the blame, and Xiao Xuan is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.

Anyway, Xiao Xuan's crime is not bad for such a flattery and bullying.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xuan was almost sent to Jieyuan, isn't he stupid? Climbing to this position, even Zhang Feng has never been so disgraceful."

"Your Majesty doesn't know, Xiao Xuan probably didn't say such things directly to the people below, but the stewards around Xiao Xuan showed a little bit of meaning, and the people below naturally heard the piano and knew.
Elegant, naturally someone will do it for him. "Yu Qian talked about a common phenomenon.

Your Majesty is the emperor, and he is not so clear about the way of being an official. What an official has to do every day is to figure out the psychology of his boss. After all, it is the boss who decides whether to be promoted.

Although Xiao Xuan didn't say it explicitly, he definitely acquiesced.

In short, Xiao Xuan had to take this blame on her back.

Zhu Qiyu said quite seriously, "No matter what you say, all the houses in this government office are like pawnshops, and you have to talk with your face up. The pawnshop is to guard against thieves. Who is the Ming Dynasty government office guarding against? Guarding against the people of Daming!"

"At the end of Jingtai's 11th year, I sent Tiqi to visit everywhere. If there are still such government offices that can only speak with their heads up, I will take people to dismantle them for them."

Although it is only a small step, a thousand miles can be reached without accumulating steps.

As the year approached, His Royal Highness Zhu Zhantang did not rest, but came to the prison.

The court meeting made a resolution on Xiao Xuan's issue, and as the general person in charge of supervising the case, His Royal Highness King Xiang came to the imperial prison and personally informed Xiao Xuan of the news.

"Your Majesty is merciful. If you didn't kill them all, your wife, children, and children will all be exiled overseas, to Java, and once you die, this matter will end here. It will be easier for you." Zhu Zhanbo said to Xiao in a bad tone. Xuan said.

"It's really cheap for me." Xiao Yan looked at the angry King Xiang, and asked tentatively: "Can I leave a suicide note for my family? It's nothing else, just tell my children and grandchildren that I am completely You deserve what you have done, and you have to take the blame, no wonder the Ming court.”

After Fang Xiaoru's case, Fang Xiaoru's descendants did not appreciate Zhu Di's lenient behavior, especially during the Zhengtong period, even the Fang family property in Haining was returned.

"Keep it." Zhu Zhanbo flicked his sleeves, and asked Luo Bingzhong to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Xiao Yan, and asked him to leave a suicide note.

"Your Highness is really a prince of virtue. "Xiao Xuan got the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, looked at it for a long time before saying this to King Xiang.

King Xiang died of his elder brother. This is the reason why King Xiang was uncharacteristically reaching out to deal with government affairs while His Majesty was still in the capital. In all senses, Xiao Xuan is King Xiang's enemy.

But King Xiang still gave Xiao Xuan a chance to leave a suicide note.

Isn’t this the ultimate virtue?…

Zhu Zhanbo sneered and said, "Death is the most important thing for a person, you are going to die, why do Gu still care about these things with you?"

His purpose was to take revenge, and King Xiang was really satisfied with the result of Xiao Yan's beheading for public display.

When Xiao Xuan was found, Zhu Zhankan asked His Majesty whether he would continue to supervise the handling, and he was ready to make major and small matters smaller, but His Majesty is still His Majesty, even if you are a Ming Duke, when it is time to do it, you will do it. Never give up.

"Have you ever told me to let the Shuntian Futang and the county hall embarrass the veterans of the Beijing camp?" Zhu Zhanbo picked up the suicide note, did not open it, but fetched the brazier, and asked Xiao Xuan .

The threat was very obvious, if he didn't answer this question well, Xiao Xuan's suicide note would be burned by him.

Zhu Zhantang used Xiao Xuan's own bait to catch Xiao Xuan's material.

Xiao Xuan looked at King Xiang in shock, he took back what Prince Zhide said just now, this is simply a rascal!
The corner of his mouth twitched and said, "I have already explained the issues that should be explained."

"So there are questions that shouldn't be explained?" Zhu Zhanbo took the suicide note and approached the candlestick. If Xiao Xuan refused to answer the questions honestly, he would really burn it.

Shameless?
No matter how shameless King Xiang is, can he shamelessly surpass the Duke Ming in front of him?
"It should be because of me." Seeing King Xiang's appearance, Xiao Xuan had no choice but to answer.

Zhu Junbo immediately asked back, "What should be? Yes, yes, no, no. There are so many crimes in your diary, what is missing?"

Xiao Xuan had no choice but to explain, "I have done too many evil things, so I have to write it down. I am afraid that I will forget it. Most of the things I didn't write down are small things. I really can't remember whether to show it or hint it."

Zhu Zhantang heard this reason, looked at Xiao Xuan's expression, and was convinced that it was this reason.

After explaining the reason, he said viciously, "You really have committed a heinous crime, and you deserve death! You really deserve death."

"Damn it, I should have been sent to the hospital. "Xiao Xuan agreed with Zhu Zhanzeng's words, he had actually expected this day, so when facing death, he seemed extraordinarily calm.

Zhu Zhantang handed over the suicide note to Luo Bingzhong and sent it to Xiao Xuan's exiled family members.

When he walked out of the cell, Xiao Xuan suddenly said, "Your Highness, there are people who make mistakes, and horses who make mistakes. Your Majesty is in the sky at noon, and the spring and autumn are in full bloom. Naturally, there is nothing to guard against His Highness, but His Highness is still doing meritorious deeds everywhere. I am afraid that it will not end well." .”

"My predicament today is what your Highness will look like in the future."

Hearing what Xiao Xuan said, Zhu Zhanzeng knew that Xiao Yan read it for the sake of his suicide note, and kindly reminded that when a person is about to die, his words are also kind.

This is coming, Xiao Xuan is still trying to drive a wedge between His Majesty and King Xiang, don't you forget your original intention?
In fact, that's what Xiao Xuan thought in his heart, His Majesty and King Xiang would have a quarrel one day, sooner or later, it would be better to let Prince Zhide be a prince safely in the capital.

Zhu Zhanzeng turned his head and said happily, "That's wrong. I'm already fifty-six this year, and I'll be 57 in a few days. How long do you think I can live alone?"

"I will not live alone until the day I die."

Xiao Xuan was completely dumbfounded, and only now did he realize that Zhu Zhanbo is really a wonderful person, his answer was unexpected but reasonable. …

Luo Bingzhong followed King Xiang and left step by step. Luo Bingzhong asked somewhat confusedly: "Why did Your Highness let this Xiao Xuan leave a suicide note? To ask him about the Chaoyang County Hall?"

Zhu Zhantang laughed, and said with a smile, "Hey, you think this suicide note is only for his family members? No, this is his confession letter."

"When the history is compiled in the future, the suicide note on this case file is the ironclad proof that he deserved what he deserved, not the proof that His Majesty was violent and wronged his subjects, do you know that?"

"As a minister, you must always think of your majesty's merits and sanctity. "

"It doesn't matter whether Xiao Xuan ordered the matter of Chaoyang County Hall or not."

"It's not important?" Luo Bingzhong was very puzzled. If it's not important, he asked it in a serious manner, and even threatened him with a suicide note, and it was still recorded?
Zhu Zhanyu shook his head again and again and said, "You, you said that you have been with Gu for so long, why can't you figure out what His Majesty is thinking? It is not Xiao Xuan or Chaoyang County Hall that His Majesty is angry with, they are all in one city and one place. Gains and losses, His Majesty is angry with bureaucrats, do you understand?
"So that's the case, Your Highness is wise." Luo Bingzhong said quite sincerely.

Zhu Zhantang said as he walked, "It's a pity that this Xiao Xuan was supposed to be the pillar of the country, but now he has become a dead soul under the knife. This temptation is always there. I can instinctively stick to the original and follow my original thoughts. It is the greatest test of a person's life to be consistent from one to the end."

"Before he started to be corrupt, everything Xiao Xuan did was good for the country and the people, but after he started to be corrupt, he became full of evil, and his intelligence became the aid of his evil . "

"It's really dangerous for this wise man to do evil."

Luo Bingzhong savored Zhu Zhanyu's words very seriously, and then asked, "Your Highness is pitying someone as capable as Xiao Xuan, but was corrupted, and finally degenerated into this appearance, rather than pity Xiao Yan."

"Smart." Zhu Zhanbo nodded with great satisfaction. Is it a pity for Xiao Xuan? His death is not a pity, but it is a pity that all his talents are used in conspiracy and deceit instead of righteousness.

Luo Bingzhong immediately smiled and said, "Your Highness Quanyang cultivated well."

On the fourth day of the first lunar month in the 11th year of Jingtai, the Tianming Festival came as scheduled, and there were lights and festoons everywhere, which was quite lively, and the vegetable market was even more crowded.

Zhu Qiyu originally didn't intend to keep Xiao Xuan for the new year, but the case was approaching the end of the year for the investigation and supplementation. Even if it was expedited, the process had reached the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Because of the results of the court discussion, no one from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote a letter for Xiao Yuan.
Pleading, just like this, the day of Xiao Xuan's beheading was fixed on Tianming Festival.

Zhu Qiyu once said that if he wanted to be imprisoned in person, he naturally came to the execution ground.

After the Ministry of Justice read out the imperial decree, Xiao Xuan was brought to the execution ground by the Tiqis, and knelt on Xingtai. Everyone was waiting for the three quarters in the afternoon.

This kind of excitement is rare now, after Yongle Years, Daming has never pulled out a second-rank official and beheaded it to show the public, so there are naturally many onlookers with this kind of excitement.

"Your Majesty's time has come." Xing'an whispered in His Majesty's ear.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said to Xing'an, "Take it."

Dozens of little yellow gatekeepers spread the words to the big Han generals, and 320 big Han generals shouted in unison: "Take it!"

Xiao Yan, who had always been extremely indifferent, only realized that death was approaching after hearing the shouts of the big Han generals, and his face turned pale with fright.

The executioner is holding a bone knife and a big knife, right in front of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister has something to say!" Xiao Xuan struggled and shouted loudly.
