Jinyi champion

Chapter 927

Forbidden City.

All the ministers went to the Fengtian Hall. It was a very important day for the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty. Basically, the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty united and sang against the emperor. A direct remonstrance memorial jointly signed by almost all the civil officials in Beijing has been published in the Ministry of Rites. Shangshu Wang Jun has it in hand, and Wang Jun is going to present it to the emperor on the same day.

But the emperor seemed to know what day it was, and even though all the ministers had basically arrived, the emperor still didn't show up for a long time.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, walked up to Jiang Mian and asked, "Your Majesty won't leave court today, will he?"

As the first assistant, although Jiang Mian will not be the first bird that day, he is the protagonist of the day.

He just shook his head, as if he didn't want to comment too much beforehand.

The ministers were talking.

Because besides the emperor, the other two important characters of Daliyi, Huang Zan and Zhang Cong, also did not appear on the scene.

the other side.

Yang Shen was talking with Zhu Hao.

"Jingdao, I heard that you didn't join the joint name?"

Yang Shen came to put pressure on Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao nodded and said: "I was too busy yesterday to inquire about the case, and I didn't have time to attend to him. Besides, I don't work in any yamen. It seems that I belong to the Ministry of Punishment, but I don't sit in the yamen. No one reports to me... You see, now I'm still working together. Can you make it?"

Zhu Hao heard that Yang Shen's words meant questioning, and immediately reminded the other party, what's the point of you asking me whether to co-sign?I was not only the co-signer, but also the chief initiator in the previous performances of the big ceremony. I also took the blame and went to the mine for two months to work as a coolie. Don’t you remember?

Yang Shen said: "It doesn't matter whether it's a joint name or not, but if there are things like kneeling and admonishing later, you won't come forward, will you?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Yongxiu understands me very well... Indeed, I don't want to get involved."

"You... ugh!"

Yang Shen glared at Zhu Hao fiercely, but felt that Zhu Hao had always been like this, he acted in the same way, if he didn't change, he couldn't force it.

Yang Shen said again: "Then how are you going to report the case to His Majesty today?"

Zhu Hao shrugged: "How is the case, is it that important? Is this an important topic today?"

Being blocked by Zhu Hao again, Yang Shen thought about it carefully, how could the emperor in the court today have the heart to ask Zhu Hao about the case?
Assigning Zhu Hao to investigate the case is to give Zhu Hao a thankless job. The emperor doesn't care about the result. Those scholars captured by Jin Yiwei are basically hostages in the emperor's hands. No matter how Zhu Hao investigates, it seems that the result of the case is not good. There will be deviations.

"Looks like someone is coming."

Zhu Hao glanced outside the hall and reminded.

Yang Shen couldn't help but look away, but saw Huang Zan and Zhang Cong entering Fengtian Hall one after the other.

All the ministers immediately looked at the two, but no one stepped forward to question.

Zhu Hao sighed: "No one went to criticize their deeds, probably everyone knows that whoever is replaced is just used as a gunman, even if it is not the two of them, there should be someone else to stand up for His Majesty. "

Yang Shen's complexion was not good: "Today is to advise His Majesty, it is not appropriate to make trouble outside the festival."

"Ah."

Zhu Hao nodded, "Brother Yongxiu, hurry up and prepare. There are too few things I can help you with, so I shouldn't waste your time."

After Yang Shen glared at Zhu Hao again, he sighed helplessly, but still walked over to Shi Pang and Feng Xi, the academicians of the Imperial Academy.

As Zhu Hao said, from Yang Shen's point of view, Zhu Hao's sense of participation in the big ceremony is too low, and it seems that it is futile to talk to Zhu Hao about anything.

……

……

The emperor finally arrived.

All the ministers prepared for a long time in advance, and at this time they were all gearing up.

The ceremony for the meeting between the monarch and his ministers had just ended, and before Zhu Si could speak, Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't wait to come out, held up a joint direct remonstrance composed of four memorials, and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the matter of the great ceremony For this matter, the 360 ​​and six ministers of the DPRK and China jointly signed the petition, and please take it back, Your Majesty!"

"Please take back your life, Your Majesty!"

Except for Huang Zan and Zhang Cong, the civil servants present all asked for it.

Zhu Si was not in a hurry, just waved to Zhang Zuo, and Zhang Zuo walked over, took the memorial and presented it to him, and then Zhu Sisha opened it in public, as if he was carefully reading the content of the memorial.

Wang Jun was waiting for Zhu Si to answer.

But Zhu Si was silent for a long time. Wang Jun thought that the emperor was deliberately pretending to be dumb, and added again: "Your Majesty, the matter of great ceremony involves the legal system of the state. A little carelessness will cause endless harm and will be detrimental to your majesty's reputation. Blessed by Emperor Fuze, everything should be done in an orderly manner, if you mess up the rules and regulations, it will definitely make people in future generations laugh at you, please think twice before acting, Your Majesty."

Probably Wang Jun is really fearless now, and when he persuades the emperor, he doesn't pick good things to say.

It doesn't matter if you just say it outright. For Wang Jun, as long as the emperor can take back his order, even if he is an inappropriate minister of the Ministry of Rites, it doesn't matter. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty in this period are quite virtuous.

Besides, after Yang Tinghe left the court, Wang Jun was already aggrieved by what he did as an official.

Leaving a good reputation seems to be more important than being a minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Si yawned, looking careless, and said in a neutral voice: "Regarding the matter of the great ceremony, didn't I already issue an imperial edict yesterday? It has become an established fact to declare to the world, why should I take it back? If that's the case If so, then Zhen’s imperial edict, isn’t it a joke?”

Wang Jundao: "Your Majesty, the matter of the great gift was settled two years ago."

Zhu Si sighed, and made a serious argument: "More than two years ago, when I first ascended to the Great Treasure, many things were not settled. Moreover, at that time, the powerful officials in the court covered the sky with their hands, so I had no room to refute, but I always want to say Regarding etiquette and filial piety, don’t the courts and the people have different views on Dali? Why do what you say must be the most reasonable words, while others’ opinions are nonsense?”

"His Majesty……"

"Okay, I don't want to hear it. I don't blame so many of you for joining together. I can only say that all I have done is to show filial piety. You have not been entrusted with important tasks in the deep palace, so don't always use historical allusions to preach to me, when I ascended the throne, I never followed the etiquette of the crown prince, so why can't I give my biological father the title of emperor?"

"His Majesty!"

This time it was Jiang Mian who came out, ready to argue with the emperor.

Zhu Si's tone became cold: "Mr. Jiang Ge, are you coming out to teach me a lesson? I take you as the leader and assistant, so that you can help the great Ming Dynasty, instead of going against me every time!"

The emperor's firm attitude angered the ministers present.

However, due to the status, the high-level officials could only argue with the emperor, and all subjects and censors could only bear with it first.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saw that Jiang Mian was reprimanded by the emperor. He knew that Jiang Mian would uphold Yang Tinghe's philosophy and had to bear it many times. , Regarding the discussion of rites, the opinions of the officials and the people of the world should prevail."

Zhu Sidao: "Qiao Shangshu, do you mean that I am self-willed and do not listen to other people's opinions?"

"I have no such intention, but His Majesty makes such a hasty decision, I'm afraid it will be dissatisfied." Qiao Yu said.

Zhu Si looked disdainful: "If you don't accept it, don't accept it. As an emperor, I don't expect others to be convinced, I just want to be true to my heart. Where is Zhu Hao, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"The minister is here."

Zhu Hao stepped out from the crowd.

The emperor suddenly called Zhu Hao out, and the people present did not expect it.

Just as he was about to argue with the emperor about the gift, why did the emperor suddenly think of Zhu Hao?
Zhu Sidao: "What happened to those scholars who participated in the fight during the ceremony outside the city yesterday?"

really.

The emperor is blatantly taking those scholars as hostages.

Zhu Hao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that matters concerning etiquette and law should be discussed in a long-term manner and should not be decided rashly. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Zhu Si frowned and said, "You are deaf, didn't you hear what I said clearly? I asked you about the case, what did you tell me?"

Zhu Haodao: "Your Majesty went to the Imperial Prison yesterday and wanted to interrogate the culprit, but he didn't see him. Furthermore, in the fight, both parties were at fault. Your Majesty once promised not to care about the crimes of those who discuss rituals, so you shouldn't go back on your word."

"you!"

Zhu Si looked annoyed.

Everyone present was stunned.

This kid Zhu Hao...is he so straightforward?

Actually jumped out at this time and sang against the emperor?

The emperor may have some concerns about dealing with Jiang Mian, Qiao Yu, Wang Jun and others, but isn't it easy to punish you, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment who has added a note?
Do you want to change from an investigator to a criminal?
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

But Zhu Hao's words gave the ministers present another chance to ask for advice.

"Hehehehe..."

Zhu Si suddenly sneered.

The ministers present felt that there seemed to be a play.

Zhu Si said with a self-deprecating look: "I can see that as long as it is about the great ceremony, you must stick to the principle. Could it be that I want to be filial and righteous, but I can't?"

At this time, Zhu Hao was still being summoned for questioning. This question seemed to be asked to the ministers present, but in fact Zhu Hao was qualified to answer it directly.

Zhu Hao seemed to have a hard head, and said: "Your Majesty, from what I have seen, it is not impossible for Your Majesty to want the filial piety of the whole son. It is also reasonable for Emperor Xingxian to be the emperor, but before that, please add' Benshenghuangkao', it does not violate the principle of great etiquette, and it can fulfill your majesty's filial piety. I have little talent and little knowledge, and there are many things I said that are not well thought out, please forgive me."

The ministers present all thought that Zhu Hao was quite virtuous before, but after hearing these words, their good impression of Zhu Hao was greatly reduced in their hearts.

He actually suggested that the emperor should posthumously designate Emperor Xingxian as emperor?Do you want to add the "Jatan Emperor Examination"?
Doesn't that mean that the emperor's intentions still partially succeeded?
Yang Shen glared at Zhu Hao fiercely, feeling that Zhu Hao had betrayed his camp.

But Zhu Hao's words, to the upper-level civil servants, seemed like life-saving straws.

What Jiang Mian learned from Yang Tinghe... arguing with the emperor can make the emperor take a step back. It is good for both sides to take a step back. This is the basis for maintaining a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers. As long as the emperor still recognizes Xiaozong as the emperor, nothing else will happen. ...we can still talk about it.
