Jinyi champion

Chapter 749
After Yang Shen made sure that Zhu Hao was fine, he walked around the cell again. Seeing that the rest of the people were also safe, he felt relieved for the time being, and hurried back to report to Yang Tinghe.

Wang Zuo arranged for someone to send Yang Shen out of prison, while he himself stayed here to obey Zhu Hao's orders.

"Sir, the key is here. You can come out whenever you want. We have arranged six people from our palace to obey your orders. What else do you need here?"

Wang Zuo is now in charge of Zhu Hao's daily life in the prison.

Zhu Hao said: "Add two more quilts, the rest... are pretty good, and the wooden table should be tidied up a bit, so it will be convenient for me to write something."

"Order."

The table in the cell was not originally used as a desk, but occasionally only used to place dishes or daily necessities.

The tables are very worn out.

There are a lot of words engraved on it, obviously someone was in this cell before and didn't get any good treatment.

Zhu Hao ordered again: "Don't show too much concern for me in the past two days, keep everything simple, and I will let someone notify you if there is something to do."

It means, Wang Zuo, you don't have to stay here on purpose to make people find it tricky, but instead feel that I have some special communication with you.

"Yes."

After Wang Zuo told several of his subordinates to follow Zhu Hao's orders, he left the cell.

……

……

Sun Jiao was very confused about Zhu Hao's imprisonment. He wanted to know what Zhu Hao was doing.

But he didn't have the power and courage like Yang Tinghe, so he couldn't go directly to the prison to visit. Although he wanted to go, he didn't have the courage. Suddenly, he thought of the relationship with Queen Mother Jiang, so he asked someone to send a message to the palace to see if he could pass. Personal relationship with Empress Dowager Jiang, let her get a pass for herself or something.

But you have to get permission to visit in the imperial prison, at least until the next day.

That night.

Zhu Hao stayed in the imperial prison, and Zhang Zuo came to visit him in person.

Zhang Zuo didn't come empty-handed, he was followed by a Jin Yiwei guard, who brought Zhu Hao a wooden box, which contained the most important memorials of the day, waiting for Zhu Hao's review.

"I can't decide for the time being. Your Majesty's intention is to let the gentleman handle it."

Zhang Zuo apologized somewhat.

Zhu Hao was in the Imperial Prison, so it could be said that he was in a prison, but there was no delay in his official duties. Zhu Si should still employ people, but he changed his office from Sixianju to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded.

On Zhang Zuo's side, someone immediately brought a chair over.

Zhu Hao said: "Eunuch Zhang, if you come here, I'm afraid there is no impenetrable wall, and it will be easy for outsiders to know."

Zhang Zuo smiled wryly and said: "There is no other way, His Majesty is really pressing hard, and besides, His Majesty...doesn't want to neglect Mister, why should Mister insist on spending the night here?

"It's better to have someone change the high bed soft pillow for you. You can find a better place to rest. When someone comes to visit during the day, just change it back."

"not good."

Zhu Hao said, "There are still many old people in Jinyiwei. They will definitely leak the situation inside. After all, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are very concerned about this matter. They may want to exchange some benefits. If someone comes late at night, If you find that you can't get close, you will have doubts... Or you will go to the place and find that there is no one in the cell, and you will speculate privately."

Zhang Zuo said with emotion: "Sir, you are really careful."

Zhu Hao picked up some memorials and began to review them on the spot.

Zhang Zuoben wanted to say, don't worry, when it is approved, just send it out.

But seeing that Zhu Hao was serious and responsible in his work, and he was too embarrassed to disturb him, it would be best if he could take away Zhu's approved memorials when he left.

……

……

Early the next morning.

The ministers are ready to go to court.

On that day, many ministers were preparing to rescue the Hanlin and prison students who were imprisoned, and they gathered together to discuss countermeasures while going to court.

On Yang Tinghe's side, Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, brought news from Jinyi Weizhao Prison.

"...The punishment has not been used yet, but it seems that it will be a matter of time. It depends on whether your majesty's anger subsides. In addition, your majesty's anger came for no reason."

What Lin Jun wanted to tell Yang Tinghe, in fact, Yang Tinghe asked Yang Shen to find out yesterday.

And Lin Jun's so-called "no reason" is clearly referring to the emperor's anger at those Hanlin and scribes, which should not have been borne by these people. It may have something to do with Yang Shen's initiation of the joint performance.

But Lin Jun was embarrassed to speak directly in front of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe said: "At the court meeting today, let the speaker go to raise it, and people from the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple should not mix their opinions. Go and inform."

"Why is this?"

Lin Jun was still very strong before, with an upright face, as if he was going to show a posture of remonstrance.

But in fact, he is just an idiot. He will obey everything when he sees Yang Tinghe gaining power. Now that the emperor has used the imperial edict to scare the ministers, Lin Jun also feels that he may be liquidated by the emperor because of his previous efforts for Yang Tonghe. It softened a lot before.

Yang Tinghe said: "The matter of punishment and prison should not have been mentioned in the first place, and the judiciary and prison should not be involved. It is enough for civil officials to advise."

"Oh."

Lin Jun probably heard it.

What Yang Tinghe meant was not to bring up issues such as transferring the imprisoned to the San Judicial Department in the court. It would appear that even the San Judicial Department admits that this is a case... so an argument should be maintained. Admonishing the scribes to commit suicide has nothing to do with punishment and prison.

……

……

All the speech officials are gearing up, waiting to have a good discussion with the little emperor about the protection of the way of speech.

Daming has a tradition of gossip.

The Imperial Academy already has the right to speak up, but those prison students who speak up...are self-inflicted. They claim that civil officials are in power now, but they forgot the rule set by the Taizu that the prison students are not allowed to discuss politics. It is a political blow to say that the Hanlin was imprisoned. However, those supervising students are completely to blame.

But that day, Zhu Si did not appear in the hall.

The eunuch Huang Jin and Wen Xiang, the supervisor of ceremonies, came out to spread the word, informing that the emperor would not go to court that day.

Wen Xiang is an old man left behind from the Zhengde Dynasty. He has a milder temper and is more friendly in his speech. In addition, Wen Xiang has a relatively close relationship with Queen Mother Zhang. His appearance is equivalent to telling the people present that Queen Mother Zhang knew about this matter. It may be consistent with the emperor's attitude, which is tantamount to persuading the ministers to recognize the situation and not engage in unnecessary disputes.

"...Your Majesty guarded the Empress Dowager's spirit last night. I felt cold and cannot go to court today. I hope you can understand."

After Wen Xiang finished speaking, he was immediately surrounded by people.

Huang Jin took a few steps forward, and the group of people surrounding Wen Xiang retreated immediately.

In the past, Huang Jin, the admiral of the Dongchang eunuch, was not taken seriously by anyone, but now that the emperor has highlighted the role of the prison, others only remembered that there was also the Dongchang in the Jiajing Dynasty, but the former Dongchangchang It's just "hidden".

Dongchang serves the emperor, and only when the emperor wants to use the prison to do something, the role of Dongchang will be highlighted.

Yang Tinghe said: "Did your majesty mention how to deal with the Hanlin people who were imprisoned for speaking out?"

Wen Xiang looked puzzled, shook his head and said, "No mention."

Yang Tinghe cupped his hands: "Eunuch Wen, please pass on a message to His Majesty, saying that benevolence and forgiveness should be lenient than the law, which violates filial piety. If a small matter is involved widely, I'm afraid it will make people think."

It is both admonishing and warning.

Don't think that we civil servants have nothing to do.

It's just taking a group of Hanlin who have nothing to do with the overall situation. Isn't even the Hanlin Academy hurt?
Even if Your Majesty, you are not afraid of ministers rebelling, are you not afraid that our civil servant group will make things worse?At that time, a bunch of ministers will go to the gate of the palace to kneel down to remonstrate, or they will publicize that you are a foolish emperor, which will affect your reputation, and the legitimacy of your throne will also be doubted by the world.

I, Yang, have been compromising. Don’t you, the emperor, even know how to make a concession?So capricious?
Wen Xiang didn't know what to say for a moment.

Huang Jin approached and said: "My lords, let me tell you something, your Majesty's dismissal of the ministers who spoke out was just anger caused by disputes over filial piety and righteousness. The intention of instigating people is small punishments and big commandments, if they are locked up in the imperial prison for a few days and they can't stand it, then where is their strength of character?"

Huang Jin was choking on Yang Tinghe.

It is said that the emperor needs to understand benevolence and forgiveness, and how to scare him with losing people's hearts. I will tell you now that since those people dare to say it, they should be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences.

You can't talk about being reasonable and unforgiving, and once you take someone down, you start cursing... Aren't you guys with a literati style?Stay in the imperial prison for a few days, this is the time to fulfill you, don't moan here without illness.

Yang Tinghe didn't like the admiral Dongchang eunuch who was from Xingwang's mansion very much, so he shook his head and remained silent.

Wen Xiang smiled and said: "The word has been spread, everyone please go back. I think His Majesty will recover from illness tomorrow, and then he can go to court."

……

……

"Here we go again."

On the way out of the palace, the person who expressed such emotion was Zhao Huang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who hadn't expressed much before.

There was a little puzzlement on everyone's face.

You, Zhao Huang, are not the ones arranged by the new emperor?Even if you don't always take orders from the new emperor, you didn't say you think about things from our standpoint.

Why, are your relatives among those who were taken down?
Or are you too angry to see this time?
"Where is Zhitong?"

Yang Tinghe first took a look at Zhao Huang, then suddenly turned around and found something.

Sun Jiao was not seen that day.

Both Jiang Mian and Mao Ji shook their heads, indicating that they did not see anyone.

The reason why Yang Tinghe paid attention to the presence of Sun Jiao was that he thought that he could use Sun Jiao's relationship to persuade the emperor to stop. After all, Sun Jiao's son-in-law Zhu Hao was also taken down this time. Officials of the royal family system, Zhu Hao was captured this time. Could it be that your grandson Jiaohui is so firm in supporting the emperor?Don't want your son-in-law to be safe?
But your grandson Jiao can predict the foresight and know that the emperor will not go to court, so you will not enter the palace to participate in the court meeting?
Or is it that your grandson is also sick?
At this time, Sun Jiao was actually waiting for Zhang Zuo to reply to him. Sun Jiao had known for a long time that Zhu Si would not go to court that day, or after Sun Jiao entered the palace that day and saw Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo brought him there. news.

"It's been a long time. Logically speaking, the queen mother should have a letter, right?" Or because of the cold weather, Sun Jiao rubbed his hands and said to himself.
