Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1583 Ten thousand deaths are unforgivable

  Liu Huiwen was heartbroken.

  As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent for an instant.

   To a certain extent, Liu Huiwen's words resonated with them.

   Of the people standing here, which one didn't claim to be a disciple of the saint, and which one did not learn the unique knowledge of the saint?

  It's just... the vast majority of people just use it as a stepping stone, and some people know how to work around it. Listening to it now, although they feel touched in their hearts, they seem to feel that Liu Huiwen is wrong.

  Some people agree with Liu Huiwen's words, but... Liu Huiwen dared to say it, but they rotted these thoughts in their stomachs.

  Frozen three feet is not a one-day cold, since Cheng Zhu, Confucianism has gone through hundreds of years, this strong inertia, and such values, how can it be that it takes more than ten years of new learning to thoroughly establish its foundation.

   As a result, there was only silence in the hall, and many people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

  Emperor Hongzhi was as cold as frost, and now he heard these words, only disgusted.

  Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "In this way, it is you who plotted to assassinate Fang Qing's family?"

  After Liu Huiwen said something, he coughed desperately, then raised his face, and said solemnly: "Yes."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Wang Shouren from the corner of his eye at this time.

  This Fang Jifan's disciple, what is there that he doesn't know?

  Emperor Hongzhi immediately sneered: "Are you convicted?"

"I don't know." Liu Huiwen replied without hesitation, and then said seriously: "The old minister has studied Confucian classics since he was a child. He has been in poverty for twenty years. He was loved by the former emperors and was able to enter the court as an official. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, he dare not say that he has meritorious service. , but without fault. When the first emperor died, he issued an imperial edict saying that your majesty will inherit the great rule and inherit the ancestral business. Many evil policies have been abolished, and many courtiers have been dismissed. Everyone in the temple is full of joy and encouragement. Therefore, the old ministers obeyed the words of the first emperor and assisted His Majesty. Fang Jifan, who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, listens to what he says, Your Majesty... I dare to ask, six out of seventy out of six of the seventy-six remonstrances that I have played over the past ten years, have you ever read these seventy-six memorials? After reading it, have you been moved? ? If His Majesty is touched, why not send it?"

As Liu Huiwen spoke, he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, in all dynasties, traitors and thieves have always been like this. Your Majesty has shielded this thief so much, and even tried to change the ancestral law and abolish stereotyped writing. How embarrassing is this for the subjects of the world? ? If Emperor Taizu Gao is here, how will His Majesty see you?"

  The righteous words he said were high-sounding.

  Hundreds of officials bowed their heads one after another, let alone saying a word.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around, thinking, there must be many people here who agree with Liu Huiwen.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "If I see Emperor Taizu Gao, I have no shame in my heart. The original intention of the ancestors' law is to stabilize the country. Today, my country is as solid as gold soup. When Emperor Taizu Gao sees it, he must be good."

  In Liu Huiwen's eyes, he suddenly became desperate. He gritted his teeth and said, "Of course."

  Emperor Hongzhi shouted sharply: "Bold! What you have committed is a heinous crime!"

   "If it is carried out consistently, it is a serious crime. Then the minister should be punished. It's just that people are about to die, and their words are good. Today, the old minister is not complaining."

   Liu Huiwen, who seems to have a kind face, is stronger than anyone else.

  Fang Jifan was by the side, thinking to himself, this is understandable, after all... dare to do such a thing, I am afraid that he was already prepared to die without a place to bury him.

  This man, he is not afraid of death.

  Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Take it!"

   With an order, the guards like tigers and wolves rushed in.

  Liu Huiwen's eyes were full of despair.

  He seemed to understand in his heart that the right track he hoped for, Daming, would never step on it again.

  He didn't resist, and let the guards hold him, laughing loudly.

  …

   There was silence in the hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi's chest heaved and heaved, he seemed to be still furious, and his face was extremely livid.

  Liu Huiwen thought he was wrong, and Liu Huiwen was using his life to remind him.

  But...Emperor Hongzhi knew he was right.

  The more he believed in this, the more angry he was at Liu Huiwen's daring to assassinate his son-in-law, and even more angry at Liu Huiwen's intentions.

  This person...I'm afraid he just hoped for such an ending.

   Only in this way can he be famous in history and become a role model for all generations.

  He compared himself to a martyr, so... what about me?

  He became Bigan, and I am King Zhou of Shang.

   What kind of loyal minister is this? He talks about monarchs and ministers, fathers and sons, but he pushes his father to the point of heinous crime just for his own name.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt chills in his heart, his eyes were like knives, and he said indifferently: "Masters, Liu Huiwen plotted to commit crimes. How should we deal with this unforgivable crime?"

  Hundreds of officials were silent, and many of them looked ashamed.

  In their values, like Liu Huiwen's behavior just now, even if there is something wrong with his behavior, he can still be called a loyal minister and righteous man.

  If it hits someone in a well at this time, I'm afraid that a hundred years later, he will be underestimated by others.

  People... all need face.

   Even Liu Jian was silent.

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Baiguan's face, pursed his lips, and seemed to understand Baiguan's attitude.

   Xiao Jing, who was standing aside, said: "Your Majesty, such a rebellious official and traitor should be punished by the three clans."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways at Xiao Jing, feeling relieved.

  Xiao Jing can be said to have brought him to a higher level at a critical moment.

  To a certain extent, he can understand the difficulties of the late emperors.

  Although the officials are the rulers and ministers of Chengri, they all have their own thoughts. They may seek fame after death, or they want to make profits. They don't have to blindly attach themselves to the imperial power. Therefore, everything has their own thoughts.

  But the eunuchs around her couldn't do without the emperor, and even all the honor and disgrace were entrusted to the emperor, so Linglong's thoughts were all used to guess the Sacred Heart.

   Such a person can be called a villain, but... can the emperor be separated from these villains?

  Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Then... according to what Xiao Banban said, he will be sent to jail and punished, and ordered to confess to his party members and barbarians."

  Hundred officials are still silent.

   They didn't hit the rocks.

  However, they did not defend Liu Huiwen, because they knew very well that if they made a mistake, they made a mistake, and this was a serious crime of treason, and there was absolutely no possibility of accommodation.

   "Your Majesty!"

  But at this time, there is humanity.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked towards the source of the sound.

   But Fang Jifan stood up.

   After seeing Fang Jifan, Emperor Hongzhi's indifferent heart eased a little: "What's the matter?"

   "I think the punishment for Liu Huiwen is too severe."

  Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

   All the officials were in an uproar, and they all looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said: "Liu Huiwen is certainly a crime of death, but what crimes are his clansmen guilty of punishing his three clans? Your Majesty must not kill arbitrarily. Besides, isn't my minister still alive? Therefore, I suggest that three people please The judiciary tried the case, it should be the crime, if not, it is inevitable to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Furthermore, what Mr. Liu said just now touched my heart quite a bit. Although it is imperative to abolish stereotyped writing, this is the system of ancestors after all, and it is the established law established by Emperor Taizu Gao. It's just that Stereotyped selection of scholars is already a serious problem, and His Majesty must correct it, but Mr. Liu dared to put forward such a loyal advice, which I admire very much. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty can deal with it leniently."

   "Buzz buzz..."

  The whole hall was in an uproar, and everyone began to whisper.

   This is absolutely unscientific.

  Although few officials believe in science.

  He, Fang Jifan, has always been vengeful, and no one who offends him will end well. How can he, Fang Jifan, have such kindness?

   And this Liu Huiwen dared to assassinate Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan was afraid that he would find it difficult to explain the hatred in his heart if he wished to destroy his ten clans. How could he intercede for Liu Huiwen?

   Anything abnormal is a demon.

  Emperor Hongzhi was also surprised, but he was speechless when he saw Fang Jifan's sincere face.

  I stand up for you, but you are actually doing this thing that hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy?

  Emperor Hongzhi's face turned cold, and he said, "My intention has been decided."

   "Your Majesty..."

Just when everyone thought that maybe Fang Jifan was just being polite, they saw Fang Jifan's face was full of grief: "Your Majesty, I think that everything should be reasonable, and you should not act on your will, my lord!" Knowing that His Majesty is like this, he loves his sons and ministers, but what Liu Huiwen said just now really touches people's hearts, if such punishment is so severe, all the subjects in the world will be afraid, even if everyone is in danger, Your Majesty...do you want to take a step to speak?"

  Fang Jifan went on, winking at Emperor Hongzhi.

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

  Many times, Emperor Hongzhi had nothing to do with Fang Jifan.

  If you get angry, he will start to say all kinds of things about your majesty, your majesty is amazing, and you will not hit the smiling face with your hand. If you don't get angry anymore, he will start spitting, looking like a jellybean.

  Emperor Hongzhi was full of doubts when he heard that he wanted to take a step to speak. He seemed to feel that it was a little inappropriate, but he couldn't help saying: "I just want to take a break and drink some tea."

  Fang Jifan and Emperor Hongzhi exchanged a look, and then went to the ear room one after the other.

   Those who remained were a group of confused officials and ministers.

  People were stunned, as if they still couldn't accept Liu Huiwen as the real murderer, let alone Fang Jifan's betrayal.

   Among these people, which one is not a human being, the most intelligent person in Ming Dynasty?

  Their perspective on things will never be simple.

  Therefore, in their view...Fang Jifanding has some poisonous schemes.

  After only a moment, Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan left and returned.

Just when everyone was astonished, Emperor Hongzhi said: "I just had a cup of tea, and my anger has also dissipated a lot. Now that I think about it carefully, I think Liu Huiwen's crime is not so bad, then follow the method According to the Qing family, the three divisions will conduct a joint trial, and after Liu Huiwen's crimes are verified, the canonical punishment will be issued!"

What?

   All officials were dumbfounded.
