Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 107

The man's fingers were long and thin, and the tendons on them could almost be seen.

This is a hand that is used to holding a bow and sword, and it is also a hand that is used to using seals on murderous edicts.

Now it is still powerful, but it is clicked on one book after another that writes the facts of the case.

Every book is human life.

It is asking for an explanation for these human lives.

"If a man kills a woman, the man may not necessarily die. If the woman kills the man, the woman must die... Dali Temple Minister Guo Yu, I ask you, why do I read these files, and every single one is a woman murdering a man? There is not even hanging, and when a man kills a woman, it is more hanging and a hundred rods."

Guo Yu trembled and prostrated himself on the ground:
"Reporting to Your Majesty, if a woman is weak, if she wants to kill a man, it must, must be planned for a long time, and the method is mostly poisoning or killing the sufferer while she is drunk. Conversely, if a man wants to kill a woman, it is too much It's easy, the knife and ax can be used at will, and the hands and feet can also be beaten to death, most of which are due to a moment of anger, not intentional."

After he finished speaking, the Hall of Martial Arts fell silent.

His Majesty didn't speak, and Guo Yu could feel the sweat on his head.

At this time, Zhuang Changxin standing behind him leaned over and said softly: "Mr. Yunshan, Du Feiqin has a sister who married into a wealthy family in Guangdong and died suddenly seven years ago. After he was promoted to Dali Temple, he thought about it several times. Tried to check again, but to no avail.”

He was afraid that His Majesty would drag him out immediately to vent his anger.

But Chang Shengning knew His Majesty's true meaning.

After Chang Shengning heard this, his eyelids drooped and he dared not move.

"The minister is here."

Gao Wanxin hurried away with the two female officers.

The rest of the people also shouted: "Your Majesty, the ministers are guilty."

Hearing that His Majesty mentioned such a long-standing case, Chang Shengning slightly closed his eyes, and after a while, he smiled and said:
"Your Majesty actually remembered the case more than 30 years ago, and I was terrified. I didn't handle things well back then, and wrote a letter indiscriminately. Thinking about it now, I still feel that I was stupid and ridiculous."

"Guo Daqing, according to your age, you are nearly sixty years old, and I have just passed the weak crown. According to your physique, you are less than five feet tall*, with narrow shoulders and weak arms, while I am more than four inches taller than you, and I am used to riding and shooting. According to what you said, if you and I have knives at the same time, I killed you out of a moment of anger, and you killed me because you had a plan earlier?"

His Majesty repeated what he had just said.

"I don't think Chang Shangshu was ridiculous back then."

"Chang Shangshu, you are three out of seventy this year, and I will keep it for you. I don't want you to leave early."

What His Majesty casually said was his memorial 37 years ago.

"Zhang Zhong is a vicious man, he acts for no reason, takes pleasure in beating his wife, lets him cry and begs, and abandons him under the crowd. This is what I saw with my own eyes. The Zhao family was ordered by the court, but was abused so far. , The minister also has the heart to die together. This is not a conspiracy, but human nature. Bulls, horses, and animals are also unbearable to be abused, let alone humans? The way of law is to promote good and eliminate evil. I am afraid that the number of wives who will be tortured and killed will double in one year under the rule of the minister, this person's crime is also a fault of the law."

Although he was assigned to the Ministry of Punishment after the imperial examination, he became a minister of the Ministry of Punishment step by step from a small promoted official, but in fact he has a temperament that is both right and wrong.

"The minister is here."

For a moment, it suddenly dawned on him that there were four women in plain clothes with bruises all over their bodies.

In just seven months, Chang Shengning has been procrastinating and refusing to make a decision. After he found out the details of everyone, in just four days, he signed 370 papers for memorandum, each of which was a memorandum. Your Majesty, please behead the person. Behind each share is not one person, but that person, and the three clans and nine clans behind him.

"Take someone to Dali Temple immediately, find twenty murder files and bring them back."

What His Majesty wants is to let those people think they can live, but at the last moment they are knocked down into the endless hell.

He had killed 99 people in a few days.

The emperor had a smile on his face: "Don't panic, you didn't panic when you dismissed people's lives, why did you panic when I used an analogy?"

Then, he shook his head slowly.

Yiji quickly winked at the two young eunuchs, telling them to come closer to wait on the boss, and don't bother His Majesty any more.

Sensing that His Majesty was looking at him, he managed to control himself so that his body did not tremble.

Now that His Majesty said that he doesn't want him to leave early, why isn't Chang Shengning afraid?
Could it be that Chang Shengning is required to bear the name of killing due to the various events in the Hall of Martial Arts today?
"I always remember that when you were appointed as an official, you tried a case, the murder of four women. One wife, one concubine, one woman and one maid were beaten by her husband for many years because of two concubines, and her body was covered with bruises. In one night, the four joined hands to kill. At that time, the chief officer of the Bingbei Dao who was in charge of the case insisted that they were murdered, so Lingchi should count them all, but you wrote several times to insist that the four were not murdered, and you have been tortured and beaten for a long time, which is pitiful."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

He, Chang Shengning, has changed from a "clay figurine" to a living Yama.

With a "plop", Guo Yu knelt down on the ground again.

"Chang Shangshu, take a look at those excerpts. Is it the fault of man or the fault of the law?"

"Do you know why my Taizu Great Yong set this "Law of Great Yong" for?"

And I was even more afraid that His Majesty would not speak like this, as if, as if he was studying the way of his death.

"Du Feiqin, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Four thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine human heads rolled down.

"Senior lady."

Chang Shengning stood there in a daze.

Guo Yu could feel the sweat running down his back.

"The emperor wants to know, if a clay figurine is soaked in water, what is exposed inside is steel and iron, or a puddle of mud that is trampled by others."

His Majesty is young and energetic, he not only wants to kill, but also punishes his heart.

With his body bent, Guo Yu slowly got up from the ground.

"Yes."

When His Majesty ascended the throne and killed Zhang Wan, the original Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments was also convicted. His Majesty ordered him to investigate Zhang Wan's party members. Everyone thought that His Majesty was young and deliberately let his party members go.

"Looking at these files, I don't even know how to educate the people."

The woman who took the lead had a smile on her face: "Your Excellency, you don't have to wait for me anymore. Since we have made a move, we know that we have no way to survive. I just wish I didn't do it earlier, so that Zhang Zhong died earlier."

Even this kind of thing is clear, how much Zhuang Changxin has devoted to political affairs?I'm afraid it's not just a drop in the bucket, right?

"Guo Daqing, stand up."

He didn't dare to say anything.

Chang Shengning, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, sat slumped on the chair without saying a word, watching his two servants eat and hang up, as if he didn't see the other side, he naturally heard what Zhuang Changxin said, and saw the two He was playing the game, he lowered his head so that no one could hear his laughter, and coughed loudly as soon as his throat moved.

He has been an official for more than [-] years and has gone through three dynasties. Mingzong reused two eunuchs, Wang Wan and Wang Gui. If Wang Wan and Wang Gui's minions asked for something, he would do it. Among the ranks, when Zhang Wan got big, he had already become an envoy. If Zhang Wan's subordinates committed crimes, he could let go of them, and if those who opposed Zhang Wan got into prison, he could also take care of them.

Zhuang Changxin and Du Feiqin have always been on good terms, otherwise he would not have known the details of this matter in such detail. He intended to refute his friend so that he would not be taken as a villain by others. After hearing the news, Master Yunshan shook his head at himself, which really confused him.

A group of ministers knelt down one after another, and Chang Shengning stopped coughing, and was about to kneel with his back straightened, but was supported by a strong arm.

After hearing his words, Li Congyuan and others looked at him one after another.

Chang Shengning raised his head slightly, his eyes blurred, and he felt that blood was flowing from those papers.

This is a very serious statement.

Compared with Guo Yu, who had a black beard but more flattering facial features, Du Feiqin's appearance could be called handsome. He seemed completely indifferent to the fact that his superior had been questioned by His Majesty. He knelt neatly on the ground and said loudly: : "His Majesty, the Taizu once said: 'The people are in chaos in the world, and they want to survive the famine, and they must learn to be treacherous, and it is extremely difficult to get along.*' Therefore, a heavy code is established to combine rituals and laws, and to clarify punishment and teaching."

There is such a case behind the dignified Dali Temple Shaoqing?
Li Congyuan looked away, and looked at Zhuang Changxin again.

"Okay, since it is a truth, what kind of truth does Taizu want to teach the people?"

This statement is really frightening.

He is just a little pusher, and in the end, he can't do anything.Of the four women, two were tortured and two were beheaded.

Chang Shengning immediately understood what His Majesty meant.

Ever since Zhang Wan found out about the case, he has been writing an account of begging for bones every month. He only hopes to be able to leave his post and go home. His age has already reached his age, but His Majesty refuses to even read his account. return.

A clay figurine who followed His Majesty all the year round only knew how to greet the ministers with a warm smile. The eunuch held the clay figurine and put it into the water in front of him.

Guo Yu hurriedly backed away: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no subject..."

Li Congyuan frowned slightly, he was in the officialdom, so he could naturally sense that Du Feiqin had no intention of helping him to get out of the siege.

Seeing that Chang Shengning had already stood still, Shen Shiqing let go of the hand that was supporting him.

"What Your Majesty said is exactly what Taizu meant."

Du Feiqin pondered for a moment, and said: "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, gentleness, respectfulness, thrift, loyalty, filial piety, honesty, shame and courage, the way of being a human being, nothing more than that."

Later, he was transferred back to Yanjing to be the servant of the Ministry of Justice. It was precisely because of the game between Beijing and China that those who played against Zhang could not get up, and those who opposed Zhang were also crushed. up.

It seemed like a long time had passed, until the sweat from his hands had condensed a wet handprint on the gold brick.

This is of course true. "Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" are the "five constants" proposed by Dong Zhongshu, but they are the foundation of human relations. But since the five constants are mentioned, why not talk about the "three cardinal principles" first. If you say that the husband is the guide for the wife, you can also argue for the heavy sentence for the wife who killed the husband.

Shen Shiqing stood by his side, raised her finger to Yu An:

Shen Shiqing bypassed the case and walked in front of Guo Yu step by step.

In order to flatter His Majesty, he even betrayed Shangguan in front of the imperial court. He also disliked such a villain.

Chang Shengning didn't dare to look up, his old face was full of sincere remorse:
"Your Majesty, the minister, the minister is terrified!"

Shen Shiqing nodded: "Ming Xing Bijiao means using punishment to teach people the truth, is what I said right?"

Because His Majesty sent him something.

The only one who can support him at this time is Tianzi Zhizun.

Hearing Chang Shengning's cough, Shen Shiqing withdrew her gaze from Du Feiqin.

It looked like the blood of the four women that day.

Your Majesty doesn't want to be muddled, he is friendly with Zhang Wan's people, and those people think they can rely on him to escape, so they are naturally willing to tell him more secrets.

After a year like this, Chang Shengning understood that His Majesty would not allow him to retreat, he Chang Shengning would be the steel knife in His Majesty's hands to eradicate dissidents in his life, and in his death, he would also be a statue of Shura welded on an iron seat by Dayong. Do not exceed birth.

Shen Shiqing didn't look at him again, but shifted her eyes to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple behind him.

"It wasn't intentional."

I still remember the blood from 37 years ago.

　There is one more.

　　Time to walk the dog.

　　No, it's time for Siri to move too.
