Chapter 16 The Emperor's Pattern

Chapter 16 The Emperor's Pattern
When Xu Jingchang held down Qiu Fu, he also held down the biggest variable, and there was not much suspense about the next joint trial of the three judicial departments.

Chen Ying still wanted to resist, but unexpectedly, Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came to the Ministry of Punishments in person.

Everyone was dumbfounded, it was obviously a joint trial by the three divisions, why did the officials also get involved?
Jian Yi smiled, "This is the first time since His Majesty ascended the throne that the three divisions have been interrogated. As a member of the Ministry of Officials, it is natural to record it for reference. You don't have to worry about me, as long as there is an order."

He said a bill, but who dares to neglect the Lord Tianguan?

Immediately prepared a table for Jian Yi and picked a suitable place.

As soon as this one sat down, Xia Yuanji, Minister of the household department, also came.

"It's like this. Years of wars, people fleeing, and yellow books are useless. Many places have to re-register households, especially the lost women and children, and they have to be sent home as soon as possible."

He also has good reason.

Afterwards, Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, also came, and he became more confident. When it came to the barracks, he, the Minister of the Ministry, could not ignore it...

After going around, there was a joint trial of three divisions, six departments and nine ministers. Except for Xu Jingchang, the chief envoy, all of them arrived.

The mountain-like pressure all fell on Chen Ying. He looked around. His Highness the King of Han did not come, and Duke Qi Qiu Fu did not come. He was alone, facing so many important court officials.

Even if Chen Ying was given 1 courage, he wouldn't dare to call a deer a horse.

In less than a day, the case was clarified.

Wang Qin of a hundred households robbed the wives of the soldiers under Sheng Yong's command, and it was only natural that Sheng Yong helped to get them back.Wang Qin held a grudge and falsely accused Sheng Yong, which led to the joint trial of the three divisions.

But Wang Qin was terrified, and even before the interrogation, he fled in fear of crime and disappeared.

After consultation, the three divisions decided to order Wang Qin to be arrested, and at the same time ordered the army to release the captured women so as not to disturb the people.

The conclusion was handed in, and after Zhu Di read it, he agreed with it very much.

"Go and invite General Hou Sheng from Licheng."

Not long after, Hou Shengyong of Licheng arrived at the palace, and he threw himself on the ground and kowtowed a long way away.

"The sinner pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Di laughed, took the initiative to come over, pulled Sheng Yong up, looked at the old general, found that his wrinkles were deep and his face was haggard, so he smiled and said: "Don't talk about the past, you are loyal to Ming, there is nothing wrong. Just like my Just like my nephew, they were all deceived by the traitor. Now that the traitor has been punished, is the general willing to serve Daming?"

"Yes, the guilty minister is willing." Sheng Yong replied simply: "The minister is old and foolish, and confronts the king's teacher and seeks his own humiliation. Your Majesty is magnanimous and can forgive the guilty minister. The guilty minister is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "Very good, I remember that you were conferred the title of Marquis of Licheng, and this title will not change. But you still seem to have the title of General Pingyan?"

Sheng Yong was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to his knees, "The old minister is guilty of death, capital punishment!"

Zhu Di laughed again, "I'll change it for you, and call it General Mingwei, how about it?"

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Sheng Yong was so excited that he prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed.

He originally thought that he was going to die, and no matter what, he couldn't survive.As a result, not only did Zhu Di not be killed, but his title was retained, and he was given the title of General Mingwei. His Majesty really loves him for the great power of Ming Dynasty.

"Now the old minister finally knows that His Majesty's imperial mind truly covers Kyushu, and the blessings are everywhere. The old minister is so heartbroken that he wants to repay the grace of heaven." Sheng Yong was so moved.

Zhu Di encouraged him a few more words before letting Sheng Yong go down.

Then Zhu Di delivered an order to release the six generals including Ping An who were still in prison.Temporarily return home to live in peace, waiting for appointment.

In addition, Zhu Di also issued a decree separately. Although Xu Huizu was stubborn, but he thought that he was loyal and loyal, and he was the Queen of Zhongshan. He held the gold medal for exempting him from death, so he pardoned the death penalty and ordered him to go to the cemetery of Zhongshan King to stay in a hut and observe filial piety. , Reflect on yourself.

"My lord, the Duke is finally out of the death row, and the Duke is alive!" Xu Yi wept with one eye, feeling quite emotional in his heart.Seeing that Xu Jingchang had entered the imperial court as an official, and there was no news of Xu Huizu for a long time, he still regarded him as indifferent and ungrateful, unwilling to intercede for his uncle.

But Xu Yi didn't expect that Xu Huizu escaped from death after Sheng Yong's case was settled. He couldn't figure out the joints, but thinking about it, the young master must have made great efforts.

Xu Jingchang knew in his heart that Zhu Di took advantage of Sheng Yong's case to win over the original generals under Jianwen's command, and by the way, he also won over the old department of Huaixi nobles.

It is a matter of course to release Xu Huizu, so there is no need to get too excited.

"Xu Yi, the shed I asked you to prepare, as well as the pots and pans, are you ready?"

Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Everything is ready, do you need to pick up the Duke..."

"What are you doing picking him up?" Xu Jingchang said, "He's still wearing a crime, pass on my words, don't just send anyone over at home."

Xu Yi was stunned for a while, but nodded obediently.

Even if Xu Huizu lived, the Xu family had the final say on Xu Jingchang.

Xu Yi obediently went down to deliver the order.

Xu Jingchang silently calculated that his uncle was fine, and Sheng Yong was fine, and he used Wang Qin's confession to lure Qiu Fu into a fright without making a statement.

Why don't you go fishing to relieve your mood... He grabbed the fishing rod and was about to go outside when Xu Yi suddenly ran over again.

"Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here with Young Master Yao."

Why is Zhu Di here again?
He could only put down the fishing rod and bring Zhu Di in.

As soon as he met Zhu Di, he said with a dark face, "Xu Jingchang, are you guilty?"

Xu Jingchang was slightly taken aback, "Your Majesty, my minister, what is your crime?"

"What crime? How dare you ask me? I ask you, where did you get Wang Qin's confession? Why didn't I see it?" Zhu Di snorted angrily, "Don't say you didn't catch Wang Qin. "

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids, and glanced at the calm old monk beside him, it must be useless to deny it.

"Your Majesty, I gave the mouth to Qi State Duke Qiu Fu." Xu Jingchang said calmly.

Zhu Di sneered, "Very well, you just need to admit it. Since ancient times, the greatest evil is to form cliques for personal gain and collusion with each other. You concealed crimes for Qiu Fu, what should you do?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I also understand the holy will, and I don't want to severely punish the meritorious officials at the moment when Jing Nan just succeeded, causing chaos in the court. With your majesty's wisdom, you should understand that the minister It’s a painstaking effort. Now that you have saved Marquis Licheng, and beat some people’s arrogance, you have the best of both worlds, and I only have credit and no fault.”

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, indeed, this result was what Zhu Di hoped for most.

Yao Guangxiao next to him coughed softly: "Xu Tongzheng, there is a saying that the favor of deposing me is from above. No matter what, this matter should be decided by His Majesty himself, but you have passed His Majesty and handed it over to Qi State. You can do all kinds of things, I really don’t know what you will do in the future.”

Xu Jingchang was so angry, my knuckles, ribs, and that jar of wine, just for your old bald donkey to make trouble?
"Your Majesty, Young Master Yao gave me the idea of ​​arresting Wang Qin. He also told me to go find Duke Qi. I don't know anything about it."

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, "Young Marquis, you are such a rascal. I just asked you to pay attention to Duke Qi's mansion. As for the other things, I didn't say anything. You are going to frame me now. , You have to write in black and white, and you have to produce evidence.”

Without words in black and white, saying anything is useless.

Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth, "Master Yao, you pretended to be me and didn't hold anything back? Although the confession was given to Duke Qi, Wang Qin is still in my hands. Now I can hand it over to His Majesty for interrogation. When the time comes, Duke Qi will It’s clear how big a crime you’ve committed.”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said: "Give Wang Qin to me, but don't bring up this matter again in the future. The most important thing right now is to recuperate and make up for the shortfall in the national treasury. As the general manager, you are not allowed to steal and play tricks, and be honest with me." Work hard and use your cleverness on the right path."

After Zhu Di finished explaining, he sent someone to escort Wang Qin, and left in a hurry, as if he was here to ask for a crime.

Xu Jingchang thought for a while, and vaguely knew what Zhu Di was thinking, but he couldn't intervene.

So the next day, when he went to the General Secretary, Xu Jingchang called Wu Shan and gave some instructions, Wu Shan immediately widened his eyes.

"Is it wrong to do this?"

Xu Jingchang chuckled, "What's wrong? Your Majesty asked all the government departments to do things seriously. We uphold the sacred will, which is a matter of course. Even if something happens, I will take care of it. What are you afraid of?"

Wu Shan nodded, thinking that since you are carrying it, then what am I afraid of?
A few days later, when the other ministries sent the memorials to the Secretary of General Affairs, they found pieces of paper pasted where they piled up the memorials.

There are still words on it... Twelve pieces of official affairs were submitted by the Ministry of Officials, eleven pieces were approved by the imperial court, and three pieces were implemented.The Ministry of Household Affairs submitted 21 official affairs, all of which were approved by the imperial court, and five were implemented.The Ministry of War submitted seven official tasks, five were approved by the imperial court, and one was not implemented...

Seeing the words on it, the officials who came to deliver the memorial all widened their eyes. What do you mean, Secretary of General Administration?How dare you openly post the affairs of various ministries?
Who gave you the guts?
 Update in advance, ask for favorites, votes, rewards...maybe add more
