Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 350 The Three Trials

In the new Shanghai city, after a month of waiting, Zhu Zhanyong and others finally received the news, and now they are preparing to go to France.

Zhu Zhanyong always felt a little uneasy riding on the dragon boat of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which was illuminated by the golden and bright lights. It may be that the impression of getting along with each other day and night when he was a child was too deep. Zhu Zhanyong always felt that Zhu Zhanyong was still the cute fifth brother.

Since he went to Guangzhou Mansion to become a vassal, the number of times the two met was only a few times.

He is no longer the fifth younger brother. He is the most powerful vassal in the Ming Dynasty. He is the leader of the Western Federation. He has not returned to the country for a long time, but every time there are ministers in the court who want to discuss the object of concern. A strong lion occupies the sea, and his name is spread throughout the sea.

Recalling the time when Zhu Gaochi passed away, he specially recruited himself to the bedside to explain.

What Zhu Gaochi was most worried about was the brother's quarrel, so he specifically explained to Zhu Zhanyong that if the two brothers had a quarrel in the future, he had to try his best to dissuade them.

But does he know if Zhu Zhanyong can persuade him if there is a real disturbance?
When the dragon boat arrived at the port, Zhu Zhanqian had been waiting for a long time. The well-informed King of the Sea was shocked when he saw the dragon boat. After asking the name of the dragon boat, he nodded. .

Zhu Zhanyong got off the dragon boat with a smile. Zhu Zhanyong led two rows of soldiers and a group of hot French girls, and pulled out a banner, writing, "Welcome His Royal Highness King Yue of Ming Dynasty to come and guide us."

At the same time, let the hot girls shout in unison with a non-standard accent: "Welcome King Yue, warmly welcome, welcome King Yue, warmly welcome."

Needless to say, the French accent has a special flavor.

The third brother is very happy, so Zhu Zhanyong specially selected it. As expected, Zhu Zhanyong was very pleasantly surprised when he looked at Oupai.

Zhu Zhanyong and Zhu Zhanqian met and embraced each other. They had such a good relationship when they were young. They got together less and separated more, and they were missing each other. But when they met, there was a trace of life. The maturity and etiquette of adults were separated by a river. , meandering across the two banks, but the short legs of a child crossed over with one foot.

"Fifth brother, long time no see."

"I've been busy with things here these years, and I don't have time to go back. After this time is over, I can finally have a good rest. I prepared a dance performance for you. Third brother, let's go to the lively scene first."

Zhu Zhanyong, who usually likes to watch these the most, is uncharacteristically: "Fifth brother, let's not watch it for now. The third brother is now a believer, and he can't watch those sexy things."

"Ah? Why can't the third brother think about it so much?"

"What does it mean to be overwhelmed? I want to be overwhelmed."

"Taoism doesn't have such a rule. I only said that Taoism is very Taoist, and I didn't say that you can't look at girls."

"Hey, fifth brother, I have changed."

"I'll watch it myself at night, I can't waste it."

"Ahem, if Fifth Brother insists on inviting me, I'd better break the precept once."

When you are on a business trip, the first thing you need to do is to spend a lot of money. If you don’t eat or drink, you don’t have to do business.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhanyong slept late, and when he got up, he followed people to Notre Dame de Paris.

I was surprised to find that Zhu Zhanqian added a gate similar to a court in front of the church with a very different architectural style from China, with a written mirror hanging high, and two stone lions.

It can be seen that the construction period is very fast, and the appearance of the lion stone carving still lacks a little detail, and the gate and the building behind it seem out of place.

"Fifth brother, what style is this?"

"Third brother didn't know, because the construction period was too late, it was also an expedient measure. I planned to build a court next to it, but it was too late, so I simply changed the facade of this church and used it. The church It’s our temple over there.”

"Ah? It's against the rules to try a case in a temple."

Zhu Zhanqian patiently explained: "Third brother doesn't know something. There is a difference between their side and ours. Almost everyone believes in religion, so the general trial is in the church. We are doing as the Romans do."

Walking into the church, the huge church retains the original dome and colorful murals, and the statue of the Virgin is behind the court.

"Fifth brother, is this the Holy Mother again?"

"You can understand it as sending a child to Guanyin."

"what?"

With a face full of astonishment, Zhu Zhanyong was invited to the upper seat, and Zhu Zhanqian found a chair next to him and sat down. In front of them, the three seats with slightly lower seats were for the three sessions presiding officer.

Li Shimian, the censor of Yushitai, is an old acquaintance, he is upright and outspoken.

Su Jun, Minister of Dali Temple, is the youngest among the three. Dali Temple sometimes involves the imperial inner court, so he must be the emperor's confidant.

Gu Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, known as Bao Zheng of the Ming Dynasty, is the Yin of Ying Tianfu. He is an upright person. Because the current Minister of Criminal Justice is old and inconvenient to travel far, he is appointed to represent him who is familiar with trials. This is also an opportunity for him to go to the center. .

When Zhu Zhanyong watched the beauty dance last night, the three of them went through all the case files all night long. It is rare for the three of them to remain in good spirits.

After all, the three of them are the presiding judges, and Zhu Zhanyong is the representative of the royal family, so there cannot be any mistakes in the trial.

Before the trial started, the three officials saluted the two Highnesses together, and Su Jun asked: "His Highness King Yue, His Highness King Hai, will try Zheng He's case later. The people involved are all members of the foreign royal family, and the matters involved are related to Zheng He. The honor and safety of the two Highnesses, whether it is inappropriate to open the trial."

After thinking about it, he still feels that the public trial advocated by Zhu Zhanqian is not good for Zheng He's reputation. The history of Zheng He's humiliation will be made public, and Zhu Zhanqian's public trial is for the people around to watch. It will definitely be continuously fermented by people.

"Don't worry about safety. All people who enter the venue will be fully searched, and there will be seats. The extra people can only listen outside the venue. I arranged for several translators to be present to translate the trial process."

"As for Zheng He's matter, I want Zheng He's death to be a highlight in the entire history of China. Zheng He's humiliation will be exchanged for the self-improvement of the entire Ming people. It will be made public and strengthen our national consciousness."

Zhu Zhanqian was so persistent, the three of them looked at Zhu Zhanyong, and Zhu Zhanyong said: "Fifth Brother, whether to think about it again, it is inappropriate for Zheng He's personal reputation."

"Third Brother, in history, Su Wu went through hardships and lived in the Huns for 19 years. He was unyielding and unyielding. Who would laugh at Su Wu's experience of humiliation?

"A real man never laughs at an unyielding man. A good man who is utilitarian doesn't care about his own fame."

"Good, good, good."

When Zhu Zhanqian said a word, Li Shimian yelled three times.

"This kind of courage, I have to be the King of Ming Dynasty." Li Shimian seemed to be very pleased to appreciate.

Zhu Zhanyong saw Zhu Zhanqian's persistence, so he didn't say anything anymore, after all, it was Zhu Zhanqian who really had the final say.

At this time, the nuns in the church brought the materials they had prepared before to Zhu Zhanyong. Zhu Zhanyong looked at the nuns in weird clothes and asked, "My fifth brother, why are there women in the temple?"

"A foreign nun."

"Namo Amitabha." Zhu Zhanyong politely replied to the nun.

When the gong knocked three times at the door, people continued to enter the church. Those who could enter the inner venue were Windsor, Duke Humphrey, and British and French nobles like Joan of Arc. It is worth mentioning that the surrounding Spanish royal family, People from the royal family of the Timurid Empire and the Ottoman Empire came, and the rest were also prominent figures.

Today's trial will inevitably remain in the history of each country.

"Mighty~"

"Mighty~"

As the heavy voices of the soldiers resounded through the entire church, Gu Zuo patted the startled majesticly. All the dignitaries and dignitaries under the hall were startled, and the surrounding crowd were startled. Where have they seen such a thing? Stance.

"Ascension hall."

"Mighty~"

"Mighty~"

Once again, Gu Zuo knocked on the gavel again to frighten everyone: "The case of Zheng He is being heard in this hall. The murderer in this case is cruel and involves a wide range. Just hearing about it makes people feel resentful. His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered us to wait for three people and three people." The trial will be held in the hall, and His Royal Highness the King of Yue will supervise the trial."

"Bring the plaintiff!"

At this moment, Xian walked in, and Zhu Zhanqian also walked to the front of the hall. Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Zhanqian knelt down to the three of them and Zhu Zhanyong.

This made Zhu Zhanyong and the three of them unprepared. The ceremony was too great, but the few of them remained calm and sat still.

Zhu Zhanyi had to make a gesture. If he wanted to rule Britain and France according to the Ming law, he had to make a show first. He, the king of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the Western Federation also had to abide by the Ming law, and it was also for the three of them and Zhu Zhanyong to see. , he knew that his words and deeds would eventually be sent back to Daming to Zhu Zhanji.

"Who is in the hall, who is the sue."

"The humble minister waits for the show."

"My humble minister, Zhu Zhanqian."

"Sue the Empress Dowager Ingolan and her servant Owen Tudor, the Duke of Burgundy, the King of France and Prince Charles for killing the Ming envoy Zheng He, insulting the Ming Dynasty's national prestige, and insulting the Ming Emperor."

砰

"Mighty~"

There was a knock on the gavel: "Two people get up first, come and bring the King of France and Prince Charles to court."

Zhu Zhanyong sat back in his seat, and the three presiding judges were sweating. Zhu Zhanyong muttered in a low voice: "Fifth Brother, why did you do this without discussing it in advance."

"After discussing with the three of them in advance, do you dare to accept it?"

"Then don't make such a sudden attack. If you have less experience, you will be scared away on the spot."

"Third Brother, you are here on behalf of Eldest Brother. It is normal for Daming to follow the rules of etiquette."

Zhu Zhanyong also stopped talking.

The king of France is in a clear mind today, and he became mentally alert within a short period of time after the onset of neurosis. Prince Charles was obviously tortured by Hou Xian, and now he is depressed, but no wounds can be seen on the surface.

"Charles VI, Charles, according to your confession, you confessed to insulting Zheng He and Daming's national prestige, you brutally cut off the leg of the Ming envoy, and sold it to the Duke of Burgundy, and then Is it true to sell it to Lady Catherine of Ingeland?" Gu Zuo asked.

The detailed charges and confessions have already been interrogated in prison before, so this court interrogation is actually a conviction.

The king of France didn't say anything, but Prince Charles lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I deny all the accusations against me, and I deny all your so-called crimes."

"Witness."

At this time, the courtier who accused them before, and several other people who came forward to accuse them were brought to the front of the hall. Gu Zuo was about to question, but Charles himself spoke first.

At this time, he looked fierce, waiting for Zhu Zhanqin's position, and slowly stood up: "The Ming people came to France with a warship, and joined the battlefield between Yinggeland and France after a disagreement. The superiority of weapons has forced us to stop the war, and we still want to make France a tributary state of Ming Dynasty, do we, as French, succumb to outsiders?"

He shouted angrily at the French nobles who were doing it.

But the French nobles were silent, and no one could wake the pretending sleeper.

Now that they have surrendered to Daming, it is obvious that following Daming is the best choice. At this time, awakening national consciousness will not help. They look at their king and prince indifferently.

Hou Xian stood up and said: "Three presiding judges, when I came to France with Lord Zheng He, we sought to establish a national connection with France. Tributary relations are very important in our diplomatic relations. Contact, maybe the French didn't understand, but we didn't force it. We launched attacks on our army many times, and then deceived Mr. Zheng He with treachery, put drugs on the banquet table, behaved shamefully, and behaved rudely. People point their fingers."

"Charles, can you plead guilty?"

Before Charles could speak, the king himself spoke up: "Kill the people of Ming Dynasty and rob the steamship, and we can defeat Yinggelan, hehehehe."

This is actually the real purpose of the king and Shire. At that time, the king was not as mentally ill as he is now, and greed made him even crazier.

Gu Zuo took the testimony and said: "You confessed all your crimes in prison, including that you abused Zheng He because you wanted the secrets of steamship manufacturing, but Zheng He did not give in, and in the end you cut off in anger. Zheng He's leg, your crime is serious, can you plead guilty?"

"No, no, no, I am the prince of France, I am the future king of France, everything I do is for the future of France, I want to expel the English, I want to lead France to a bright future, I Don’t accept such an unfair trial, all the testimonies are obtained under torture, God will not allow you to treat the holy French king and prince like this.”

砰

With a slap of the gavel, Daming's majesty suppressed the crazy French prince.

Zhu Zhanqian stood up and said: "If your god has taught you shamelessness and ugliness, what kind of god is it? A person who truly believes in God is a firm believer like Joan of Arc. Still firmly believe in, still maintain your own nobility, instead of having a noble status and a graceful life like the two of you, but gnawing like rats in the corner, you are blaspheming your god. "

Everyone present and everyone outside the court were amazed. Zhu Zhanqian then said: "From today onwards, gods have to abide by the laws of Ming Dynasty, just to avoid the reappearance of blasphemers like the king and Charles."
