Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 362 Clear Rewards and Punishments

  The anger of the civil servants was completely ignited, and everyone's face showed anger.

  The imperial court has ordered!

   This thing is not as good as a dog. If the Ming court does not warn, it will really hurt the country.

  Countless ministers who claimed to be disciples of saints were filled with righteous indignation, and even those who claimed to be mature and prudent also blushed with excitement.

   Imagine if the Guozijian was changed to some indescribable place, what would be the result?

  The ancients admired the ancients the most, and this ancient is actually a saint.

   Now that the saint is insulted by you, Li Long, this is blatantly making enemies of the disciples of the saint all over the world.

   Cursing sounds are everywhere.

   Killing people is an act of a tyrant.

  But this...is enough to make the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty treat Li Long as a pig and dog.

   Even more excited people burst into tears.

   "Revenge!" Someone shouted.

  Everyone saw that it was Shen Wen, a scholar of the Imperial Academy who spoke!

At this time, he said angrily: "If we don't crusade against North Korea, we are no different from pigs and dogs! Today, rebellious thieves and wolves are by nature, almost promiscuous, cruel to Zhongliang, killing brothers and nephews, insulting the Holy Gate, a place for gods and men To be angry together is something that heaven and earth will not tolerate!"

As he spoke, he beat his chest, appearing heartbroken: "Da Ming is obliged to protect the vassal subjects for the upper kingdom, but now the Korean state system is always upside down, wolves are in power, and the courtiers are in panic all day long. Thousands of people, avoid it." The king is like a snake and a scorpion, and his rites and music are so bad that he should be punished by rebels, punishing the people and punishing crimes, so as to rectify the world."

  Fang Jifan stood silently in the crowd, very surprised, did not expect Bachelor Shen to have such a passionate side.

  But think about it carefully, my lord, when these fellows who came from scholars heard that the saint had been humiliated, they were all filled with righteous indignation and wanted to raise troops to attack, but the Tatars attacked the border all the time, and I haven't seen you so excited.

  Of course, Fang Jifan would not dare to say these words, he wanted to keep his useful body to do great things.

  Shen Wen's words immediately caused a group of ministers to respond.

   But at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting high, tapped on the copy.

   slap...

   Jinshendian finally became a little quieter.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked around at everyone, and then said: "I issued a decree more than two months ago, do you still have any impression?"

   "..."

  People calmed down a bit, so many doubts emerged.

That's right, many people have seen that decree. At that time, it was circulated and copied from the mansion newspaper. In the mansion newspaper, it was clearly and plainly stated that it was to canonize Li Long's mother, that is, the abandoned concubine Yi. Shi is the Queen Mother.

  But in the blink of an eye, why did it become an imperial decree?

   At this moment, Fang Jifan stepped forward without hesitation and said, "My emperor is holy..."

  Fang Jifan's voice startled everyone.

But Fang Jifan said with a red face: "My emperor is aware of the truth. I knew Li Long's wolf ambitions, but he refused to startle the snakes, so he made a decree. On the surface, he wanted to confer the title of the abandoned concubine Yi, but in fact he secretly told the prince to give the prince His Highness issued a secret decree, ordering people to rush to North Korea to warn Li Long! Your Majesty planned a strategy to win a thousand miles away, and remotely controlled the current situation in North Korea. Li Long, a mere traitor, thought he was right, but in fact he was just a clown. Your Majesty saw it right away, poor Li Long, a clown who is still ignorant, not knowing that everything is under His Majesty's control..."

   "..."

  Everyone listened attentively, each one was surprised.

   Those who didn't know what to do, couldn't help but be very surprised. It turned out that this was a secret scheme of His Majesty.

   That is to say, the so-called false edict that caused ups and downs at the beginning is actually true. The palace issued two edicts, one bright and the other dark. Is this His Majesty's plan?

  Although everyone does not know why His Majesty has such a plan, but...it sounds like this, everything...is a misunderstanding!

  From this point of view, everyone has wrongly blamed His Royal Highness, Fang Jifan, and Mr. Liu...

   As a result, many people looked at Emperor Hongzhi with admiration and awe.

   Your Majesty is holy.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked straight at Fang Jifan, with a half-smile, Fang Jifan, to be honest, it was really not easy to find a bit of character in him.

   But this cleverness is really admirable.

  Liu Jian and others are well aware of the inside story, but at this time, is the truth important? The most important thing is that another edict was sent to North Korea in time, preventing Daming from becoming Li Long's accomplice!

   As far as Liu Jian is concerned, his son is still alive and has made contributions!

  Zhu Houzhao was inspired by Fang Jifan, and immediately joined him, brazenly saying: "Father Emperor..."

   Before he could speak, Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands and said, "Okay, you don't need to say anything."

  Looking at all the officials who admired him endlessly, Emperor Hongzhi said bluntly, "Am I very wise?"

   This rhetorical question made everyone dumbfounded.

  Because they know that His Majesty has something to say.

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "How can I have any sageness? The reason why I am sage is not because of how smart I am, but because... I am really the Son of Heaven."

  As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and was dumbfounded again.

   What does this mean?

Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Just like you, before you were named on the gold list, you were nothing, but after you were named on the gold list, you became an official, so you have gradually become smart people in other people's mouths from being penniless. Great people, this is not because you suddenly became smarter, but because you have become officials, and like me, you have the power of life and death."

"I am the Son of Heaven, but I also know that I am not very wise all the time. As for Fang Qing's family's nonsense about strategizing and winning thousands of miles, just listen to it. I don't blame him for talking nonsense here, because he is my son. As a result, my courtiers have made credit, and my courtiers are scrambling to attribute this great achievement to me. But what if there is a fault? My courtiers are busy carrying it on themselves."

"Monarchs and ministers, after all, isn't this the truth? But I am not holy, and I don't have the ability to discern the subtleties. I have good things, but I also have mistakes. This first canonized imperial decree, It was indeed issued by me. But the second edict..."

   Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao, and said: "It was issued by the crown prince, and it is a false edict."

   There was an uproar in the hall.

"Forging imperial edicts is such a serious crime!" Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The one who did this is my son. Tell me, if you look at the ancestral law, what is the prince offending?" crime?"

  Zhu Houzhao is a little confused...Is this his real father? In order to cause trouble for your own son, you don't even want the credit for your father?

  All the ministers looked at Emperor Hongzhi blankly, not knowing what to say for a while!

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled again: "I see, this is a crime of death."

  Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out.

"But..." Emperor Hongzhi hadn't finished speaking, and he continued unhurriedly: "I want to reward him. Do you know why? Because the house is about to collapse. Once the imperial decree is issued, people like Li Long who are full of evil will take advantage of my imperial decree to do evil, because if this imperial decree is sealed, countless Korean scholars will feel chills towards Daming, isn't this just how the house is about to collapse?"

"When the house is about to collapse, some people will hide away. This is a gentleman who does not erect dangerous walls. But some people, he does not hide. He knows that the house is collapsing, but he still thinks that his ancestors taught me not to leave the house. I would rather be crushed to death by the house than escape! Such a person is a loyal person. But there are still people who know that the building is about to collapse, and if he goes to help him, he will be praised by others, but he is still desperate and desperate Reaching the beams of the house to prevent the house from collapsing. What is this called? This is called turning the tide and helping the building to collapse!"

"Smart people, such as Fang Jifan, saw that the house was about to collapse, so the crown prince summoned people like Fang Jifan and Liu Jie. They were desperate, knowing that forging an imperial decree is a crime of death, but in order to redeem my fault, they still made great efforts. You have the guts to forge the imperial decree. Then the Zhuqing family, do they have merit or fault?"

   "..." At this time, the hall was completely silent.

   "Some people think that no matter how great the credit is, they can't cover up their faults. They think that the country has laws and regulations. Once a precedent is established, then someone will follow suit. Isn't it a big treason?"

When Emperor Hongzhi said these words, he kept smiling. He seemed to be very emotional today, and said with emotion: "I don't think this is right. The house is about to collapse, but I am still hesitating whether the ancestors will allow you to save it." House, what is it called?

   "He risked a great crime, but he was willing to work hard to correct the mistakes of the court. What I saw was sincerity."

"A few years ago, I saw peace in the world. But in the past two years, what I saw was the devastation of the country. In fact, the country is still the same country, but the scenery I can see is different. The kingdom has lasted for a hundred and twenty years. In the past twenty years, how many evils have been entangled, what is needed are those people who are unwilling to look forward and backward, even though they know it is a heinous crime, they are still willing to fight bravely?"

"So!" Emperor Hongzhi paused, and said seriously: "The crown prince committed a crime, as well as Fang Jifan, Liu Jieren, etc., are all guilty. But... I will not punish their mistakes, but I will praise and praise them. Credit!"

  As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were dumbfounded.

   No one seems to care about guilt or innocence.

  After all, if he is left alone, is it true that the imperial court canonize Li Long?

   That is a beast. The imperial court conferred on Li Long and praised him for his loyalty and filial piety. This man turned his head and trampled Confucius to the ground. So what is the imperial court, an accomplice?

   Standing up to care about this at this time, wouldn't this be the same as Li Long?

  …

Tiger went to bed early last night, and woke up before dawn today. It took some time to conceive, and he started to code non-stop. A few days ago, he was a little late. He really didn’t have enough sleep, and writing a book took a lot of time to conceive. If time permits, in fact, tigers want to go as early as possible!
