Jinyi champion

Chapter 893 Can't let them succeed

Discard when finished!

When Empress Dowager Zhang had Yang Tinghe as her political ally, she had a certain influence in the court. Now that Yang Tinghe has retreated, Empress Dowager Zhang has her wings cut off. The biggest reliance before was to depose Zhu Si's throne , now that this power is gone, the Queen Mother is at the mercy of others.

It's not that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao are deliberately making enemies with the Queen Mother Zhang, but that the Zhang family brothers hit the gunpoint, and they happened to use the Zhang family brothers to practice their hands. They don't have to be killed, but they have to cut their flesh so that the Zhang family can kill them. Heartbroken, it is considered a success if you restrain your actions.

The arrest of the Zhang family brothers caused quite a stir in the court.

The timing is special.

Yang Tinghe has just left here, and it is estimated that the party has not left the border of Beizhili. The Zhang family brothers were arrested here. If it is said that they deliberately targeted the Zhang family, it cannot be said that, after all, it is common for the Zhang family brothers to do evil. The emperor also targeted the Zhang brothers.

It can only be said that the Zhang family brothers have no eyesight, so they insisted on hitting the muzzle of the gun at this time.

Morning the next day.

None of the ministers came out to intercede for the Zhang family brothers, and even the few members of the cabinet did not mention the Zhang family brothers.

If the emperor wants to ask the Chief Assistant for his opinion, why do you still need your grandson to make a suggestion?

Sun Jiao is also a good person. He sees that he is highly valued by the emperor, so he will be caught in the limelight. It is better to lead the conflict to others: "...Your Majesty, the old minister believes that this case should be investigated in detail. In the past, Jiang Ge's department had criminals and prisons. With experience in this area, he is very insightful about Xun Chen's crimes, Your Majesty can ask him for his opinion."

In the past, Yang Tinghe and people who were instructed by Yang Tinghe came out to object, but this time the emperor said that he would send a special person to handle the case, and there was not even a voice of objection present.

We civil servants must learn from experience and lessons!
Zhu Si's face darkened, and he asked: "Persuasion? Selling arms privately and changing them to ordinary people should be a serious crime of skinning and cramp, right? Occupying people's land, no matter how you say it, you should go to prison and ask for guilt. But, why... just a persuasion and it's over? Jin Shangshu, are you kidding me?"

It was Zhu Si who proposed it on his own initiative.

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers present seemed to grasp the direction of the wind.

"Since your family has no objection, let's assign someone to be responsible. The official position does not need to be too high, but you must have a certain reputation and experience. Your family will choose someone."

After finally forcing Yang Tinghe away, he can't cultivate a second prime minister, right?

The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, is the emperor trying to make an example of others?

Jin Xianmin said: "I don't know who to propose."

Zhu Hao?

If you ask us our opinions in such a fake way, it is useless for us to say that you don’t like it, so why embarrass us?

Zhu Sidao: "Why, can't Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, investigate the case? Then I will let him be a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so that he is qualified to investigate, right?"

"Your Majesty, such matters should be considered carefully. After all, the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang have made great contributions to their support, and they have even made military achievements before. Why don't you... resign their military posts and persuade them strictly."

Zhu Si sighed: "Are you trying to prevaricate? I don't know how to tell the Queen Mother about this matter now. The Queen Mother advised me to be extra merciful to the two uncles of the country, but the law of the Ming Dynasty cannot be violated. I want to ask your opinion. I'm really disappointed to be so perfunctory... Well, I will send someone to investigate this case!"

But the problem is, they have an unreasonable queen mother sister, can this queen mother be provoked by the court officials?Even the emperor dare not offend!

Want to appoint a special person again?

It is because Jiang Mian expressed his position earlier that the civil servants have to watch the fire from the other side.

I used to talk about things with you, and you always liked to talk about the rules, but now I want to talk about the law with you, but the rules in your mouth have become a display?
Besides, the Zhang family brothers are not your party members, so what's the point of defending them?
Is the rabbit dead and the fox sad?
Zhu Si looked at Sun Jiao, who was silent at the bottom of the jade steps, and asked, "Sun Qing's family, I want to hear your opinion."

But no one would object, because everyone knew that checking the brothers of the Zhang family was definitely a thankless task.

Many people began to mourn for Zhu Hao.

Zhu Si was slightly dissatisfied, but still looked at Jin Xianmin who had just been reprimanded by him, and asked, "Is there a good candidate for the Ministry of Punishment?"

In the eyes of outsiders, Sun Jiao wanted to "save" his beloved son-in-law and prevent Zhu Hao from going into troubled waters.

It seems that he cares about the minister's opinion, but he is actually sending a signal to the ministers present, that is, he, the emperor, already has a favorite candidate, and he just asked the minister to propose...or the person who will propose next, originally It is the object of the emperor's favor.

If you offend the emperor, it really doesn't end well, and any bad things can happen to you.

Unreasonable!

First ask the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Obviously, the opinions of the ministers that Zhu Si values ​​most now are all on the side of the Sixth Ministry, and he did not consult the cabinet.

The emperor was annoyed.

Everyone knows that the Zhang family brothers are doing evil things. Is there any need to investigate this kind of thing?There are a lot of evidence of the Zhang brothers' crimes, it depends on who will investigate and how to investigate!

Zhu stroked his chin with four hands in a state of contemplation, and after a while he said: "Then let Zhu Hao, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, do this... He used to be the magistrate of Yongping Prefecture, and he checked Jinyiwei. I want to see if he can go forward and deal with it fairly this time!"

Jin Xianmin came out.

Former criminal champion Zhu Jingdao?
Didn't it mean that this person has been abandoned by the two major powers of the imperial court and has become an abandoned child?Didn't it mean that even his father-in-law and grandson are ready to give up on him?

Sun Jiao wanted to bring the matter to Jiang Mian, and asked Jiang Mian to come out on behalf of the civil servants to express his attitude, whether he wanted to protect the Zhang family brothers, or step on them by the way... As a result, Jiang Mian showed an attitude of non-contradiction, meaning that the Zhang family What does it have to do with our civil servants when brothers commit crimes?
Now it's not the Sanfa Division who takes the people, but the factory guards, so let the factory guards investigate and deal with it themselves.

This is the case when mining, and I also like to do this during the grand ceremony. In handling the affairs of the court and the central government, positions similar to imperial envoys should be assigned to handle it.

Take the initiative to ask the emperor to ask the chief minister of the cabinet.

Unlike the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, the Zhang family brothers have changed from political opponents to difficult brothers and sisters. Now we must not make trouble for the Zhang family brothers. After all, the next step for the civil official group to target is no longer the nobles who do evil, but the people in front of us. The little emperor eager to centralize power.

Sun Jiao was questioned again, which seemed to confirm the conjectures of many people. Isn't this implying that this person was appointed by the emperor in advance?

Didn't Yang Tinghe just fail in the struggle against imperial power?

Did the emperor arrest people in order to learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones?
It is clear that they want to use the Zhang family brothers to frighten the princes, nobles, civil servants and military generals in the court!

Are you taking yourself too seriously?
Zhu Si followed Sun Jiao's wishes, looked at Jiang Mian and said, "Mr. Jiang Ge, what's your opinion?"

Who do you want to handle the case, just say so, and we'll discuss whether that person is a good fit.

In the past two years, the Zhang family brothers have ceased to exist, and it took until today to cause trouble again. Many people still think that the Zhang family brothers have improved.

Sun Jiao will continue to argue hard.

Emperor, stop pretending!

Right now, all the scholars of the First Assistant University have expressed their attitude of being wise and safe, so what reason do others have to come out head-on?

The ministers present were puzzled for a moment.

The ministers could see that after the emperor ascended the throne, he liked to set up a position outside the yamen system to be responsible for certain things.

Sun Jiao hurriedly walked over and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to use Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, to investigate the case of the Sanju Department."

"...The Marquis of Shouning and Marquis of Jianchang sold arms privately, secretly condoned the slaves in the house to commit crimes, robbed the people's fields, and did things that harmed the country. , to make trouble to the point of wrath and resentment, is it tolerable or unbearable..."

"Department of punishment!"

Zhu Sida sent Jin Xianmin, Minister of the Sentencing Department, "How does the Ministry of Punishment think this crime should be dealt with?"

"His Majesty……"

But the emperor and Sun Jiao knew very well that the purpose of old man Sun's doing this was to not want Zhu Hao to show off, because in Sun Jiao's view, this was probably the first step for the emperor to use Zhu Hao. Originally, the Zhang brothers were Zhu Hao. Hao wanted to arrest them, and Zhu Hao came out to investigate the two brothers of the Zhang family, so there might be a big commotion.

Could it be Tang Yin or Zhang Bangqi?
Unexpectedly, Sun Jiao seemed very uncooperative, and his tone was indifferent: "I don't want to ask about the prison, please ask your majesty for opinions from the people in the judiciary."

Think about it carefully, why did the emperor recommend his own people to investigate the case?It was clearly to push Zhu Hao out to die!

An idle member of the bureaucracy, Wailang, actually came forward to investigate the case of the Zhang family brothers?Or did the emperor propose it himself?

Besides, Lin Jun, who has always been known for his temper, has retired. Others are not as brave as Lin Jun, and he likes to argue with the emperor about everything.

No need for the emperor to explain, everyone knows what the Zhang family brothers are.

But no one came out to speak for a while, Zhu Si frowned and asked, "Sun Qing's family, what do you think?"

He thought about it for a while, saying something about the law, it seems that it can't reflect the majesty of him as the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he can't say that he released the two brothers for a small punishment.

The meaning is that, but to outsiders, it is too artificial.

If Jin Yiwei is a tough nut to crack, at least Jin Yiwei must abide by the rules on the surface and not damage the emperor's reputation, but what are the Zhang brothers?When are they reasonable?In fact, they are not too worried about whether they are reasonable or not. After all, the officials in charge of investigating the case are backed by the imperial court...

Jiang Mian said: "I have no objection."

The emperor and Zhu Jingdao cannot be allowed to do whatever they want.

"Okay! I don't want to listen to Sun Butang's words. If you think the position of Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is not suitable, then I will let him continue to be a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. As a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I will investigate the cases of the two uncles. As a minister, I will Follow orders and do not refuse!"

Zhu Si was firm.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was cheating Zhu Hao, but only a few people knew that Zhu Si was planning to join forces with Zhu Hao to make trouble.
