Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter
Chapter 693
"The Zhangs are criminals!"
Huang Zongxi's words frightened Zhang and his wife to kowtow: "The grass people are here, the grass people are here."
Huang Zongxi picked up the file, glanced at the Zhang couple who looked like good citizens, and said coldly: "Zhang Xiaowan, is this your daughter?"
The Zhangs quickly said, "That's right, that's right, but what crime did she commit?"
"My lord, we have already sold her to Zuixianglou. If she breaks the law, she can't implicate us. She has nothing to do with us!"
Hearing that her parents were so eager to get rid of her relationship, Zhang Xiaowan was stunned. Parents are like this, wishing they could never see themselves?
Isn't she their biological daughter?
Huang Zongxi looked at the Zhang couple with disgust: "You first married Zhang Xiaowan to Feng Jiadalang, and after Feng Jiadalang died of illness, Zhang Xiaowan was driven back by her husband's family, and you sold her to Zuixiang Lou, right?"
After listening to Huang Zongxi's words, the common people realized that Zhang and his wife looked honest, but they turned out to be such vicious parents!
Not to mention marrying my daughter to a tuberculosis ghost, after her daughter was driven back by her in-laws, she sold her daughter to a place like Zuixianglou for money. Is that a place where a good family can go?
What kind of parents are these?
Huang Zongxi said in a loud voice: "The people who committed the Zhang family's crimes ignored the court's laws and disregarded the wishes of Zhang Xiaowan, a daughter of the people, and forcibly sold them. I am now sentenced to twenty boards and ten years of hard labor!"
As soon as these words came out, the Zhangs were dumbfounded.
They looked at Huang Zongxi in horror, no matter how they thought about it, they never expected that they would be punished and forced labor in the end!
Suddenly, they saw Zhang Xiaowan behind her, and her father immediately scolded: "Bitch! Is it you, a bitch, suing, isn't it!"
"Are you trying to kill your parents! Unfilial daughter!"
His mother also cried: "Wan'er, Wan'er, the mother doesn't want to sell you, but the family is in trouble, and you don't know that the money you married to the Feng family was lost by the family for small business. , Mother and your father had no choice but to sell you to Zuixianglou, and Mother didn't know what kind of place Zuixianglou was, and Mother didn't want to harm you either."
His father came to his senses and cried quickly: "Yes, yes, Xiao Wan, my father really doesn't want to sell you, but the family is forced to pay their debts and there is no other way. Otherwise, if you can remarry, father will not sell you to Zuixianglou, father really has no choice, you can't just watch father and your mother being forced to death by debtors, right?"
"Now that the debt is paid off, both father and mother are looking forward to your return. Let's go home and continue to live. Father swears not to betray you."
Listening to what her parents said, Zhang Xiaowan was also moved. Although at first her father scolded her and called her a bitch, Zhang Xiaowan still excused her parents in her heart. It must be that her parents mistakenly thought that she had harmed them, but I don't have one.
So Zhang Xiaowan knelt down to Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu: "My lords, Minnv thank you two adults for avenging Minnv, but it was Zuixianglou who killed Minnv, and it had nothing to do with Minnv's parents. Please let Minnv's parents go." Bar."
After hearing this, the people under the public trial stage couldn't help discussing again: "These parents are not good people. They obviously sold their daughters for money, and now they pretend to be charitable. They just want to avoid punishment."
"Who says it's not? Just like the father who scolded his daughter just now, he knows that this father is not a good thing!"
"But doesn't it mean that they have nothing to do if they do business?"
"Do you believe this too? You have no choice but to sell your daughter to Goulan after doing business?"
"This daughter is filial, and now she still wants to save her parents."
"Oh, I'm afraid that if you save her parents, her parents will not treat her well in the future and will continue to sell her."
The common people were discussing, and Zhang's parents on the public trial platform couldn't help but be happy. Zhang Xiaowan shouldn't be punished for pleading for mercy, right?
However, Huang Zongxi said: "Zhang Xiaowan, it is a good thing that you are filial, but you are not leading this case."
"The state-owned law, the imperial government's decree, strictly prohibit local buying and selling of women. Now that your parents have violated the imperial court's laws, what's the use of pleading for them?"
Zhang Xiaowan said: "Yes, but these are Minnv's biological parents after all, Minnv can't just watch them suffer."
Gu Yanwu said, "Even if your parents sold you out?"
Zhang Xiaowan lowered her head: "Anyway, parents have the kindness to raise girls, how can girls be unfilial?"
Huang Zongxi nodded: "You are filial. For the sake of your filial piety, I am exempting your parents from two years of labor reform. Instead, your parents will be sentenced to [-] years of labor reform and eight years of labor reform."
As soon as this remark came out, the Zhang couple who were originally happy were stunned. Why did they still have to be punished and sent to reform through labor?
The Zhang couple looked at Zhang Xiaowan, and kept begging: "Xiaowan, hurry up and beg your lord!"
"Xiao Wan, you can't just watch your parents get hit by the board!"
"It's not easy for your parents to give birth to you and raise you. You can't watch your parents suffer!"
But Huang Zongxi patted the gavel directly: "Come on, put it down, hit it hard with [-] boards, and send it to a labor camp!"
Now, the Zhang couple became anxious: "Zhang Xiaowan! Do you really want to watch your parents get hit by the board?!"
"Bitch, why don't you beg your lord to show mercy? You are an unfilial daughter!"
"Now hurry up and beg your lord to be merciful, what are you still doing?!"
"Bitch, bitch, I knew it, you were going to kill your parents!"
"My God, are there any children in this world who harm their parents like this? God, look at this unfilial daughter!"
Now Zhang Xiaowan was stunned, she was frightened by her parents, in this world, are there really such parents who don't love their children?
Following the furious scolding of the Zhang couple, the two were dragged down and faced the board in front of the people. The people who recognized the true colors of the two people did not have any pity for the two people. When it fell, the people even applauded.
Huang Zongxi looked at Zhang Xiaowan who was at a loss, and stepped forward to help her up: "You are a filial daughter, but it is a pity that you were born into the wrong family. In the future, you should find someone else to live in."
Zhang Xiaowan's eyes were also red at this time, remembering the people's frivolous words to the sisters in Zuixianglou, she couldn't help but choked up and said: "We dirty people, can we find a good family in the future?"
"My lord, everyone now says that Ming Dynasty is in its prime. Is there a place for us in this prosperous era?"
Huang Zongxi was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Yes, there must be."
"And you are not dirty, trust the imperial court, they will definitely find a way out for you."
The trial lasted for three days. Those who sold their daughters in batches and sent their wives were sentenced to reform through labor, so that the people of Yangzhou fully understood the power of the new government policy, while the gentry and students kept talking about the latest government decree. The imperial court's emphasis on women made some gentry students feel unhappy. When did women dare to demand the same as men?
After handling the case, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu returned to the capital, and Wang Wenyan will arrange new officials for the Yangzhou government.
When Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu came back to report the results to Zhang Haogu and made a brief report on the public opinion of the people: "Yuanfu, when the students dealt with corrupt officials and those evil gentry and bullies, the common people and businessmen applauded; When the parents of the family sell the man who gave away his wife, the public opinion of the people behaves differently."
Gu Yanwu said: "Some gentry students think that children should honor their parents, and no matter what their parents do, children cannot sue their parents. The work is done by men, the breadwinners are men, and the guards are also men, and now women's status has been elevated, which is unfair to men."
Zhang Haogu asked: "Did you hear these remarks when you returned to Beijing?"
Huang Zongxi said: "Most people are in the south, but when you go out of the south of the Yangtze River, you hear less."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "What does this mean? It means that the people in the north still recognize the court system, and the gentry students in the north are also on the side of the court."
"The reason why the south has these provocative remarks and wants to provoke the relationship between the court and the people is nothing more than that a small group of people are still dissatisfied."
As he said that, Zhang Haogu looked at Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu with great satisfaction: "The two of you did a very good job in Yangzhou this time, adjudicating cases and handling matters according to the law, and it is very rare to consider human relationships while enforcing the law impartially. "
Gu Yanwu asked: "Yuanfu, the students are worried, if this matter spreads, will the people feel that the imperial court is ruthless and has no regard for ethics?"
But Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It's no problem, the new policy and the new law, it's not enough to let the people in the world feel the kindness of the court, it is also necessary to let the people in the world know the majesty of the court. Thunder, rain and dew are the king's kindness, and the combination of kindness and power can be convinced In the world, if you blindly apply benevolence and virtue, you will fall into the inferior vehicle."
"I'm not afraid that people in the world will discuss this matter, but I'm afraid that people in the world will not discuss it. Please post the Yangzhou case and how to deal with it in the Daming Daily, so that people in the world can discuss it."
"It's time for this pavilion to find His Majesty."
Seeing Zhang Haogu's attitude, Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu felt relieved, bowed and said, "Yes."
After Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu left, Zhang Haogu could imagine what kind of discussions would be caused in the south, but he didn't care.
After sorting out the case files, Zhang Haogu got up and tidied up his clothes, and then went to Xiyuan.
Military and political affairs are handled by the cabinet, and I only need to know the ins and outs. After Zhu Youxiao passed it very easily, and there was no trouble in the court, so Zhu Youxiao was also happy, so that he could continue to study his own things.
Now Zhu Youxiao is discussing with a group of scholars how to realize a real wooden cow and horse. They are trying to make a large steam-powered wheel.
When Zhang Haogu came to Xiyuan, what he saw was a group of huge machines in operation, and the steam in Xiyuan was like a fairyland, which echoed the rumor that the people in the capital believed that the Forbidden City was the Nine Heavens.
"Master Zhang, you are here to find the emperor." Eunuch Wei came over after seeing Zhang Haogu.
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "There is a case that I want to talk to Your Majesty, Wei Banban, how is your Majesty's research going?"
Eunuch Wei smiled when he heard it: "Oh, the emperor's research is getting more and more sophisticated, see if that machine is there? What is the machine called a power wheel? It seems to be comparable to dozens of horses. Right now, the emperor and the bachelor We have already researched the prototype. Didn’t the folks have rumors that the emperor is the reincarnation of the Lingbao Tianzun? Our emperor, maybe it’s really the Tianzun who came down to earth!”
Listening to Eunuch Wei's words, Zhang Haogu also understood what Zhu Youxiao was doing recently. It seemed that the research on this steam engine wheel was about to be successful, and by then, Daming would be able to officially lay the road.
Just having a steam engine is not a big deal, but with trains, then Daming's industrial development is truly on the right track.
After Zhu Youxiao played with the bachelors for a while, he asked the bachelors to continue their research. He walked out from the huge steam engine wheel and wiped the sweat on his face. The steam is really stuffy."
Zhang Haogu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the temperature difference is huge this autumn, you should pay attention to the dragon's body."
Seeing that Zhang Haogu had come, Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Master said, I have also noticed that not only this year, but also in the autumn of the past few years, the temperature has dropped sharply, this should be the weather change that the scholars said gone."
"Master, what's the matter here?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is nothing more than a sage, please read this file."
Zhu Youxiao let the maid wipe his hands clean, then took the file and looked at it. As he watched, Zhu Youxiao frowned: "Hmph, Wu Renxing, the magistrate of Yangzhou, this dog official! Is he a court official? The official, or the official of Zuixianglou?"
"A Zuixianglou that deals in flesh and blood can still control the land of the three prefectures of my Ming Dynasty, and even local officials have to serve it. What does this Zuixianglou want to do?"
"The officials of the Yangzhou government should all be damned!"
As the Son of Heaven, Zhu Youxiao never minded to speculate on others with the greatest malice. Now that he has ruled the world for ten years, he attaches more importance to this country and society. Seeing the prosperous governance of the Ming Dynasty, there are some people colluding with local officials , All of a sudden, it is the land of the three prefectures, which makes Zhu Youxiao have to wonder, is there someone who wants to rebel against him?
Zhang Haogu said: "The minister also took this into consideration, and specially ordered Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu to conduct a private visit, and after finding the evidence, they will hold Shang Fangjian to deal with the Yangzhou matter."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Master is doing things, I don't worry, but these things are all done by Master, so what are the other people doing for food? What about Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Yangzhou has such a mess, Jinyiwei and Dongchang Is there any news from the factory?"
Wei Banban hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the boys in the East Factory are mainly monitoring the inside and outside of the palace, and there are guards in the Jinyi Guards to monitor the place."
Zhang Haogu said: "The minister also understands that the Jinyiwei has set up spies in the local area. Unless they are activated, they will not contact the Shangguan privately. The reason why the Yangzhou incident can be investigated so cleanly is also thanks to the spies of the Jinyiwei."
"Your Majesty, now that the New Deal is being implemented, the place of inspection and judging still depends on the anti-corruption yamen and inspecting censors. If Jinyiwei is used for everything, it will not be beautiful."
Zhu Youxiao also nodded when he heard it: "Master's words are in my heart. I can't manage the world by myself. Therefore, the imperial court has a cabinet, six ministries, hundreds of officials, and a censor." .”
"Whether it's the capital or the local government, the officials are working for the court. If there are people staring at them all the time, not to mention that all the officials are not at ease, and I am also not at ease."
"If you do everything with trepidation, you can't do government affairs anymore."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao changed the topic back: "Did anything be found in this Zuixiang Building, besides money and account books, is there anything else?"
Zhang Haogu said: "Behind Zuixiang Building, there seems to be a master's house, which is related to the capital."
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, a chill flashed in his eyes: "So, Zuixiang Tower was actually pushed out?"
"There is a Zuixiang Building in Yangzhou. Are there any in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinling? The Jiangnan province is like this. Are there any other provinces in Ming Dynasty?"
"The person who launched Zuixianglou has ulterior motives."
"This matter, on the surface, let it go."
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slaves will immediately ask the youngsters to investigate."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Check it out, let me check it out! Let's see who wants to overthrow my world!"
Zhu Youxiao's tone carried an undisguised chill, like a gust of cold wind, which made people feel bitingly cold.
The Heavenly Sovereign who is in charge of Thunder and Rain is obviously angry. He feels that someone is secretly coveting his country.
For these people, Zhu Youxiao has no kindness and grace, only anger and swords.
Eunuch Wei immediately asked the people from Dongchang to go down, search secretly, and strictly investigate the officials related to Yangzhou and Jiangnan, the royal family, etc.
And Zhu Youxiao continued to look through the files, and when he saw how Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu punished those parents who sold their daughters, he also had some doubts: "Master, it is a good thing to punish these bad parents, but if you do this, those girls Doesn't it just bear the reputation of being unfilial?"
Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is already such a trend in the south today. They say that the court's laws are harsh and have no benevolence, and these women are also unfilial. They demand that the court implement a benevolent government and forgive these parents. And severely punish these women."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately changed his attitude: "The atmosphere in the south?"
"What kind of unhealthy trend! A group of bad gentry and romantic scholars dare to talk about government affairs? These Donglin party members!"
"Does the imperial court need their permission?"
Obviously, it was the Donglin Party that made Zhu Youxiao change his attitude. The Donglin Party members have been opposed to the imperial government's policies for a long time. They have to criticize almost any policy of the imperial court. It's the same as worrying about the country and the people.
However, the more they were like this, and what the Donglin Party had done, the more Zhu Youxiao hated the Donglin Party.
Now that he heard that the Donglin Party dared to criticize the government here, Zhu Youxiao immediately changed his words: "The punishment is good, so that the people of the world and those Donglin Party members can see the majesty of the imperial court and the majesty of the national law, and see if they dare Dare to act recklessly!"
Huang Zongxi's words frightened Zhang and his wife to kowtow: "The grass people are here, the grass people are here."
Huang Zongxi picked up the file, glanced at the Zhang couple who looked like good citizens, and said coldly: "Zhang Xiaowan, is this your daughter?"
The Zhangs quickly said, "That's right, that's right, but what crime did she commit?"
"My lord, we have already sold her to Zuixianglou. If she breaks the law, she can't implicate us. She has nothing to do with us!"
Hearing that her parents were so eager to get rid of her relationship, Zhang Xiaowan was stunned. Parents are like this, wishing they could never see themselves?
Isn't she their biological daughter?
Huang Zongxi looked at the Zhang couple with disgust: "You first married Zhang Xiaowan to Feng Jiadalang, and after Feng Jiadalang died of illness, Zhang Xiaowan was driven back by her husband's family, and you sold her to Zuixiang Lou, right?"
After listening to Huang Zongxi's words, the common people realized that Zhang and his wife looked honest, but they turned out to be such vicious parents!

Suddenly, they saw Zhang Xiaowan behind her, and her father immediately scolded: "Bitch! Is it you, a bitch, suing, isn't it!"
"Are you trying to kill your parents! Unfilial daughter!"
His mother also cried: "Wan'er, Wan'er, the mother doesn't want to sell you, but the family is in trouble, and you don't know that the money you married to the Feng family was lost by the family for small business. , Mother and your father had no choice but to sell you to Zuixianglou, and Mother didn't know what kind of place Zuixianglou was, and Mother didn't want to harm you either."

As soon as this remark came out, the Zhang couple who were originally happy were stunned. Why did they still have to be punished and sent to reform through labor?
The Zhang couple looked at Zhang Xiaowan, and kept begging: "Xiaowan, hurry up and beg your lord!"
"Xiao Wan, you can't just watch your parents get hit by the board!"
"It's not easy for your parents to give birth to you and raise you. You can't watch your parents suffer!"
But Huang Zongxi patted the gavel directly: "Come on, put it down, hit it hard with [-] boards, and send it to a labor camp!"
Now, the Zhang couple became anxious: "Zhang Xiaowan! Do you really want to watch your parents get hit by the board?!"
"Bitch, why don't you beg your lord to show mercy? You are an unfilial daughter!"
"Now hurry up and beg your lord to be merciful, what are you still doing?!"
"Bitch, bitch, I knew it, you were going to kill your parents!"
"My God, are there any children in this world who harm their parents like this? God, look at this unfilial daughter!"
Now Zhang Xiaowan was stunned, she was frightened by her parents, in this world, are there really such parents who don't love their children?

Wei Banban hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the boys in the East Factory are mainly monitoring the inside and outside of the palace, and there are guards in the Jinyi Guards to monitor the place."
Zhang Haogu said: "The minister also understands that the Jinyiwei has set up spies in the local area. Unless they are activated, they will not contact the Shangguan privately. The reason why the Yangzhou incident can be investigated so cleanly is also thanks to the spies of the Jinyiwei."
"Your Majesty, now that the New Deal is being implemented, the place of inspection and judging still depends on the anti-corruption yamen and inspecting censors. If Jinyiwei is used for everything, it will not be beautiful."
Zhu Youxiao also nodded when he heard it: "Master's words are in my heart. I can't manage the world by myself. Therefore, the imperial court has a cabinet, six ministries, hundreds of officials, and a censor." .”
"Whether it's the capital or the local government, the officials are working for the court. If there are people staring at them all the time, not to mention that all the officials are not at ease, and I am also not at ease."
"If you do everything with trepidation, you can't do government affairs anymore."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao changed the topic back: "Did anything be found in this Zuixiang Building, besides money and account books, is there anything else?"
Zhang Haogu said: "Behind Zuixiang Building, there seems to be a master's house, which is related to the capital."
When Zhu Youxiao heard this, a chill flashed in his eyes: "So, Zuixiang Tower was actually pushed out?"
"There is a Zuixiang Building in Yangzhou. Are there any in Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Jinling? The Jiangnan province is like this. Are there any other provinces in Ming Dynasty?"
"The person who launched Zuixianglou has ulterior motives."
"This matter, on the surface, let it go."
After hearing this, Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the slaves will immediately ask the youngsters to investigate."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Check it out, let me check it out! Let's see who wants to overthrow my world!"
Zhu Youxiao's tone carried an undisguised chill, like a gust of cold wind, which made people feel bitingly cold.
The Heavenly Sovereign who is in charge of Thunder and Rain is obviously angry. He feels that someone is secretly coveting his country.
For these people, Zhu Youxiao has no kindness and grace, only anger and swords.
Eunuch Wei immediately asked the people from Dongchang to go down, search secretly, and strictly investigate the officials related to Yangzhou and Jiangnan, the royal family, etc.
And Zhu Youxiao continued to look through the files, and when he saw how Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu punished those parents who sold their daughters, he also had some doubts: "Master, it is a good thing to punish these bad parents, but if you do this, those girls Doesn't it just bear the reputation of being unfilial?"
Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, in fact, there is already such a trend in the south today. They say that the court's laws are harsh and have no benevolence, and these women are also unfilial. They demand that the court implement a benevolent government and forgive these parents. And severely punish these women."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao immediately changed his attitude: "The atmosphere in the south?"
"What kind of unhealthy trend! A group of bad gentry and romantic scholars dare to talk about government affairs? These Donglin party members!"
"Does the imperial court need their permission?"
Obviously, it was the Donglin Party that made Zhu Youxiao change his attitude. The Donglin Party members have been opposed to the imperial government's policies for a long time. They have to criticize almost any policy of the imperial court. It's the same as worrying about the country and the people.
However, the more they were like this, and what the Donglin Party had done, the more Zhu Youxiao hated the Donglin Party.
Now that he heard that the Donglin Party dared to criticize the government here, Zhu Youxiao immediately changed his words: "The punishment is good, so that the people of the world and those Donglin Party members can see the majesty of the imperial court and the majesty of the national law, and see if they dare Dare to act recklessly!"
