At this time, King Su felt that "everyone in the court was my enemy", but he had never been afraid.

If a sect master does not make decisions for his own children, what qualifications are there to sit in this position?

Just as he wanted to speak up again, a figure suddenly came out of the team on the right.

When he calmed down, he saw that it was Jiang Shaoji, the general of Yulin Guard.

"Your Majesty, I have a report." Jiang Shaoji said loudly: "I believe that Lord Wang, Lord Miao and others have shown the fact that Prince Yu is illegal with their loyalty to the emperor and loving the people. There is no error in the legal sense.

However, no one can do anything without mistakes. Prince Yu is only sixteen years old. He killed people with righteousness because of his passion. It is also a young ignorance. Do we have to kill him with one blow and not give him any chance to reform?

How can I bear to be so cruel and aggressive to a sixteen-year-old boy who is so cruel and aggressive that all the officials in the court are those who read the books of sages?"

Tan Senyu suddenly felt unbearable: "Master Jiang, do you think you can instruct your subordinates to kill more than 200 people at the age of sixteen? Is such a boy still ignorant? Isn't it cruel?"

Jiang Shaoji smiled, "Sir Tan, I am a military general. In my eyes, killing people for punishing evil and promoting good is not a serious crime. In fact, everyone killed by Prince Yu should be killed. Can you say that they are all innocent?...Mr. Miao, what are the confessions you get?"

Miao Yan never takes care of his business.

He pondered for a moment and said, "There are 137 households in Xiqiu Village, and every family has participated in the crimes of kidnapping, trafficking, buying and selling women and children. None of them is innocent."

"Look!"

Jiang Shaoji spread his hands open, but didn't say anything again.

Then Xiao Chang, the governor of the Southern Navy who happened to come back to report his duties, came out across the crowd, "Sir, such a sinister, he has been entrenched in a village and has been doing evil for decades, but no one has exposed the punishment.

Now someone is risking his life to expose and punish them. Instead, you are going to pursue the chivalrous and righteous person. Does this reason make sense? Where did Confucianism say such a truth? I have never read it."

The generals of the Dakang Dynasty were usually from Jinshi, so they were not excluded by civil servants.

However, after all, the two parties belong to different systems, so there is still a gap between them.

Therefore, Xiao Chang stationed Jiang Shaoji without any pressure.

What's more, he was definitely not standing by Jiang Shaoji, but the emperor behind General Yulin Guard.

The commander of the Southern Navy was in the second rank, and was on the same level as the generals and ministers. He was in charge of tens of thousands of navy troops in the south, and the Grand Canal of the Beijing-Hangzhou can be under the jurisdiction of the Grand Canal, of course, the real power is very heavy.

"But Taizu resolutely refused to allow the royal family to participate in politics. Liu Mingqi dared to kill people without orders. This is extremely evil. If he rashly pardons, please forgive me and cannot obey the order."

The civil servants did not sit still and wait for death.

The one who can say such a tough word is Dou Ru, the Minister of Justice.

Dou Ru is a model of being upright and upright. Since he took over the Ministry of Justice for so many years, he has always been disdainful of Emperor Jinghe's amnesty for the whole world. It was only a few years ago when the empress dowager was 60 years old.

At other times, we encountered general amnesty. Those death row prisoners were either exiled to the north to guard the border or exiled to Hainan in the south to reclaim wasteland, without an exception.

He was also one of the two ministers who arrived at the gate of the palace early today and knocked on the door.

The other one is Li Yan, the Minister of Rites, but Li Yan's presence is much lower than Dou Ru.

Emperor Jing He sighed in his heart when he saw it.

This time, Confucianism and Legalism united, and he must punish Liu Mingqi, a person who breaks the rules, and it is best to be sentenced. This is clear.

But he did not expect that these people would not give any face at all, and would repeatedly refute and bear it, and they would not be able to make ends meet.

Now I can only hope that the players on this side will be more powerful.

Feeling the gaze of Emperor Jinghe, the Minister of Internal Affairs Zhang Xiang also stood up: "Dao you ask Shangshu Dou, how much do you think Prince Yu's 'is extremely evil' has reached? Are you going to be executed?"

"If the three departments will judge this, they will naturally be killed." Dou Ru's tone did not change for a moment.

"In ancient times, there was a beautiful talk about 'avenly murdering people for filial piety'. Now, our Dakang Dynasty finally came out with a good man of great kindness and righteousness, but you can only read books to judge it. It really makes people laugh." Zhang Xiang said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am here to say that if you punish Prince Yu and Prince Rui County Lord today, you will not know how many evil things happen frequently in the world, and how many people of kindness and ambition stand by and watch in the face of injustice.

Today, all the adults seem to be upholding the court's legal system, but in fact they are upholding small righteousness and eliminating the great righteousness without doing anything. This move will inevitably lead to a sense of disappointment in the world! Let the people's customs be chaotic from now on. If this continues, the country will be out of the country.

I risk my life to submit a memorial. Your Majesty should not be bewitched by these foolish court officials, but should be arbitrary and exempt Prince Yu from the crime. In order to conform to the hearts of the people of the world, the people applauded him for his wise and wise grace!”

As soon as Zhang Xiang's words came out, the ministers present were in an uproar again.

I was shocked, disgusted, hated, happy, and praised...

Various emotions were different, many of them were written on the face.

Jing Hedi was obviously very happy, and the corners of his mouth were pulled, and he finally controlled his smile.

Although Zhang Xiang has many minor problems over the years and has become increasingly cowardly, he is still very brave to take responsibility when executing his own orders.

This former Hanlin Academy elite who was awarded the title of Jinshi on the second list, occasionally showed his strength at this time, and he refuted it very well for him.

The key is that it is most appropriate to compete with the rule of law with the righteousness of the people of the world and the customs of the people.

Throughout history, how many serious crimes that can behead their heads have been defeated before these public opinion, and finally exempted from punishment?

"Zhang Aiqing said too much. Changde, Taisheng and other ministers are all upright and heroic, loyal and cool ministers, they are not as speculated as you." Emperor Jing He pretended to scold Zhang Xiang, and immediately changed his mouth: "But Zhang Aiqing's words also make some sense... Well, Miao Aiqing, I heard that from last night to now, many people have arrived at your Imperial Palace Office and kowtow Xie Mingqi, Zhiyu and you, right?"

Miao Yan sighed and bowed, "They mainly thanked Prince Yu and Prince Rui County Lord. At the same time, many people thought they were detained in the Imperial Court Office, and they came to ask the Wei minister to release them."

"Look!"

Zhang Xiang said loudly: "My colleagues, this is the public opinion! The ancients said, 'The king is a boat; the common people are water. Water carries a boat, and water covers the boat. If you think of danger, then danger will be gone without coming."

Why don’t you understand the people’s hearts and opinions, and instead force the king and father in various names to interfere with the emperor’s decision? This is not what the minister should do!”

wonderful!

Well said!

Emperor Jing He was very relieved when he heard this and almost laughed out loud.

He never thought that Zhang Xiang's eloquence was so good. After a attack, Miao Yan was speechless.

However, Wang Zhigeng did not admit defeat. He angrily scolded: "Mr. Zhang, don't you feel ashamed of being so flattering?"

Zhang Xiang was shameless and replied with a righteous heart: "I am speaking for the people, and I am at ease and confident."

"Shameless!"

A censor couldn't help blurting out.

"You have your way, and I have my way. Different ways are not to plan for each other." Zhang Xiang was not angry at all, "But my opinion will never change. Prince Yu cannot be severely punished! Instead, he should be praised!"

"Absolutely not possible!"

A group of officials who had not had time to speak just now came forward, and someone even knelt down.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, you must not be favored!"

"Your Majesty, please be cautious. If this move is made, the court will be unable to tell the truth!"

"I beg you to expel Zhang Xiang, Jiang Shaoji and other slandered ministers, they are villains!"

“…”

The group of people made a fuss, which made Jing Hedi's face look ugly.

Did Mingqi, my family, kill your children or what? Why did she have to cry and cry so hard that she couldn't get along with him?

"quiet!"

Seeing that the emperor looked bad, Zhao Shou commanded the eunuchs standing on both sides of the Golden Palace next to him, and swung his whip hard, making a crisp sound of "piapia".

In this way, the atmosphere of the vegetable market was interrupted, and the officials did not dare to make noise anymore.

Otherwise, Zhao Shou, the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace who is the defender of the order of the Chuigong Hall, would have the power to drive them out directly.

"Cao Xiang, Cao Xiang!"

Tan Senyu, the clerk of the criminal department, still did not give up. He said loudly: "Cao Xiang, as the head of all officials, why don't you say a word with the prime ministers? What do you think? Do you want to get away with it?"

Your uncle!

Cao Yi cursed inwardly.

These things are so disrespectful. Is it embarrassing for you to shout them so openly?

But everyone heard Sen Yu's words.

The officials who were talking quietly all looked at the prime minister of the dynasty who was standing on the left.

Emperor Jing He also stared at him with his eyes, thinking that you should always support me now. We all agreed last night.

There were wolves in front and tigers behind, and Cao Yi felt that his sweat was about to flow out.

He took a step slowly, "Your Majesty, the emperor has the power to make any decision. The opinions of the ministers can be retained, but everything is up to you. The old minister has no opinion and will do things according to the will."

Your uncle!

Jing Hedi was stunned and couldn't help but curse and swear.

Is that what you blamed me?

Isn't it your suggestion, do I agree with it?

I want to tell you how it turns out to be true now?

Seeing Emperor Jing He's expression unpredictable, Miao Yanxin knew that he could not drag it down any longer, otherwise the emperor would open his golden mouth and he would force the emperor again, which would be a rebellious and completely lose the initiative.

He once again went out, took off his official hat, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed, "Miao Yan, the governor of the imperial capital, reported to me, if Prince Yu made such a heinous mistake, but he would be declared innocent without any trial, as the direct person, I am ashamed of the country and the ancestors of the Legalists, and have a serious sin. I especially believe that Your Majesty will punish me for serious dereliction of duty and despise the power of heaven. I will exile my crime for life!"

Wang Zhigeng followed Miao Yan without thinking, and also imitated him, took off his official hat and knelt down: "I am willing to walk with Lord Miao, and I beg your Majesty to approve the punishment for exile!"
To be continued...
