As the emperor expected, at night, the matter in Xiqiu Village spread quickly.

"Have you heard about it? What happened in Xiqiu Village?"

"Why haven't you heard of it? Prince Yu is so cruel!"

"Who said no, more than 200 people were killed!"

"Is it only more than 200? I heard that all the people in a village were slaughtered by him!"

"Scared, aren't men, women, young and old all killed? Is Prince Yu so vicious?"

"Uh... Maybe not that cruel, right? Besides, the trafficking and reselling children and women in Xiqiu Village should be killed after so many years of evil!"

"Yes, I think Prince Yu is quite a manly person. Such a person, regardless of gender, age, is full of evil deeds. Shouldn't he be killed?"

"Yes, yes, my neighbor's second uncle's third daughter's kid was playing outside and then abducted. Now it's impossible to find people, and people will go crazy... How great would it be if Prince Yu had killed these people a few years ago!"

“…”

The common people are just melon-eating people, but they admire Prince Yu who dares to act and take responsibility even more.

But the officials of the court are different.

That night, countless officials gathered and discussed enthusiastically.

The next morning, more than 200 officials had gathered outside the palace and begged the emperor to summon him.

Such a situation made Emperor Jing and Emperor feel sank.

The Dakang Dynasty was not like the previous dynasty, and the emperor did not attend court every day.

Because going to court every day will take a lot of time on insignificant details, which will affect the efficiency of handling court affairs.

Therefore, Taizu stipulated that the dynasty meetings were usually held only three times a month, and more of the time was spent working in their own territory. Then the overall major events and strategies were formulated by the prime ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion and the emperor.

The emperor did not have to deal with the government affairs at any time. With the prime ministers who had decentralized power and the ministers of various ministries, they just needed to grasp the overall situation well.

Of course there are exceptions to this.

For example, today.

If the court officials have important things to report to the emperor, they can gather together and ask the emperor to open the palace gate and let everyone gather in the Chuigong Hall to discuss major events.

Generally, if there is such a situation, the emperor must not stop it. He must listen to the voices of his ministers below.

Since Emperor Jinghe ascended the throne, he has encountered such things less than ten times, and every time he encountered a very troublesome thing.

But this time, just Liu Mingqi killed and saved people in Xiqiu Village, which attracted more than 200 officials to ask for a visit. Obviously, the visitors were not kind!

...

The officials began to wait outside the palace gate at 5 o'clock. At 3 o'clock, the palace gate finally slowly opened.

Wang Zhigeng, the chief censor of the Censorate, walked among the crowd with great strides.

An familiar official next to him came up, "Prince, the emperor has left us for so long, I'm afraid that things will be going on today."

"It is normal to have a wave of troubles." Wang Zhigeng said lightly, "Crown Prince Yu is a genius in the royal family that is rare in a century. The emperor has always liked him, so of course he cannot ignore him."

After a pause, he said: "The country has its own rules and regulations. As scholars, we should safeguard the foundation of the country and do what we should do."

"But I don't think much like you." Another official whispered, "Mr. Tu didn't come. Only two of the six ministers came, and the four prime ministers didn't move!"

Lord Tu is the censor Tu Mouzhong, the first person to the Censorate.

Originally, when encountering the incident of "the prince of Prince Yu slaughtering hundreds of people", as a formal institution that supervises the court and the world, the Censorate should be the first to come forward, and the Censor Tu Mouzhong should be the first to come forward.

But just now, everyone looked around but didn't see him. Many people didn't realize that they had some thoughts.

"I don't know Lord Tu, but I will do my best." Wang Zhigeng continued to say: "The four prime ministers rushed to the palace last night, so it is normal for them not to show up... Today we are at the court meeting, and there may be surprisingly many obstacles!"

"So what?" A six-subject scholar walked forward and shouted: "We will learn to read the books of sages, and everything will be subject to the laws and regulations of the court. No matter how difficult and dangerous the ahead, we will just move forward with all our strength!"

Wang Zhigeng nodded with a smile.

Young people need to be motivated, and this is the same as Confucianism and Legalism.

A few people were discussing in a low voice at the back.

"It's not just the ones they said, when I saw the Legalist Six Departments talking to the Clan, I suddenly realized that I didn't seem to see Miao Taisheng just now?"

"Yes, without him! He might have retreated like several prime ministers."

"Impossible and impossible! There is no one in this world who Miao Taisheng is afraid of, even the emperor cannot do it."

"Then why didn't he come? Is it because he admires Prince Yu very much?"

"It is definitely not. Miao Taisheng clearly distinguishes human favors and laws, and he will not abuse his power for personal gain at all."

"Hey... I said Cao Cao was here, you see, isn't it Lord Miao who came from the palace gate?"

"Haha! I knew that when encountering such a thing, Lord Miao and Lord Wang must be our backbone!"

“…”

While they were talking, Miao Yan had already walked up, caught up with everyone, and rushed to Wang Zhigeng who was waiting for him deliberately slowing down.

"Mr. Wang!"

"Brother Taisheng, I thought you weren't here today."

"It's too late to be busy with something."

"What are Brother Taisheng's plans today?"

"Of course, I am the apprentice of the Legalists, and I have no shame in doing things, and I have no shame in the world and the monarch and the people."

"good!"

Wang Zhigeng smiled and stopped talking.

But with Miao Yan by his side, the censor Central Committee took more power.

When we arrived at the Chuigong Hall, the door was already open. It was now dark late in winter and it was a little dark. Looking from a distance, the Chuigong Hall looked like a beast with big mouthfuls, which was quite gloomy.

Of course, this is just what everyone thinks at the moment, and it is related to the difficulties they feel are facing.

But Wang Zhigeng and Miao Yan did not stop at all and walked into the hall with great strides.

There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the hall, and the marble on the ground was as smooth as a mirror.

The Chuigong Hall is usually opened three times a month, but the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace often clean and maintain them, and they always look brand new.

The Chuigong Hall can accommodate up to 300 people at the same time, but at that time, the emperor had to rely on the loud voice eunuchs to pass the messages to the officials behind him.

Usually, the atmosphere of talking about things here is far less than that of the Qianqing Palace.

The ministers stood on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Emperor Jinghe, but from time to time, people were whispering something.

When they stood up, the important officials of the court came one after another.

Such requests for the court were not made up for like-minded officials, but the nine ministers of the court, the six ministers and prime ministers, including the generals of the imperial guards in Beijing, must come here.

Even the Zongren Mansion, Zong Zhengsu, who only appeared in the dynasty meeting on weekdays, walked to the bottom of the Golden Palace and stood without talking to anyone.

Cao Yi arrived the last time, and he greeted everyone with a smile on his face, and walked to the first position on the left.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the emperor came late.

"See Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed and saluted.

"No gift!" Emperor Jing He was not in good spirits. He looked at the group of people who came to make trouble and said angrily.

Zhao Shou next to him stepped forward and said loudly: "All the ministers and workers have something to report, but they have nothing to do to leave."

After such a fixed procedure, Wang Zhigeng was about to stand up, but Emperor Jing He suddenly spoke in advance, "Taisheng, what was the result of the case of trafficking and killing innocent women and children in Xiqiu Village that you handled yesterday?"

Miao Yan was stunned for a moment, then walked out, bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, I will do it from two aspects yesterday. On the one hand, I will step up the interrogation of the people from Xiqiu Village, Prince Yu’s Mansion and Prince Rui’s Mansion; on the other hand, based on the confession of Xiqiu Village, I arrested 73 gangs in a total of 387 people overnight, and are now under interrogation.

However, the emperor, because of the need for review, the Wei minister needs to interrogate Prince Yu and Prince Rui. I hope you can get them to the police yamen."

"good!"

Jing and Di agreed readily, "But they were punished with poker last night. When their injuries are better, I will let them go."

Miao Yan looked at the emperor helplessly, saying that you treat me as a fool?

Before he could reveal it, a sixth subject next to him became angry.

"Your Majesty, the minister of the criminal department, Tan Senyu, impeached Prince Yu, and the county lord Rui violated Taizu's regulations and involved in court affairs without authorization. Moreover, he was sexually rioted and filthy, causing him to kill the people wantonly, with extremely cruel means!

I beg Your Majesty to endure the pain of destroying his relatives for justice and kill Prince Yu. The Prince of Rui County was exiled to the South China Sea to serve as a warning to others and to calm the anger of the people in the world!”

Tan Senyu's voice was very loud, and more than a hundred people present heard it.

But everyone who heard it was stunned and secretly surprised.

Where did such a naughty boy come from?

Tan Senyu is not so radical on weekdays, why is he suddenly so resolute and bold today?

Execute Prince Yu?
