In fact, at noon, many people went directly outside the palace and shouted, begging the emperor to pardon Prince Yu as soon as possible.

The royal family and nobles are not stupid enough to spend money, they also teach the people some plausible truths.

For example, in this case, only the emperor can overturn Miao Yan's verdict, so the person to be found is not Miao Taisheng, who is hard-hearted, but the emperor.

The emperor has always been very nice to the people, and the people in the capital can especially feel it.

Therefore, when they went outside the palace to yell, they were not afraid that Qianniuwei would rush out with a whip, and everyone would beat him directly.

Emperor Jing He was amused and laughed at this, but he was a little happy.

The people under my rule clearly distinguish between right and wrong, and dare to stand up for the wrong thing, and prove that their teachings over the past few decades are useful, it is naturally worthy of happiness.

Which emperor likes the people to be numb?

Which emperor doesn’t like the people who are brave enough to do things and are kind and cute?

He didn't hesitate for long, and announced the court officials the next day that he would discuss it.

Rediscuss.

From this point we can see that Emperor Jing He is so clever.

Previously, there were crowds of people in the court, and at least hundreds of court officials were making fierce complaints to severely punish Prince Yu, which made him have to pretend to be angry.

If the court could have formed an atmosphere of "small punishment and great commandment" in the court at that time, such as salary penalties, confinement, etc., maybe Jing and the imperial capital had already agreed.

It was precisely because they could not reach a unified opinion and were in anger that Emperor Jinghe had to surrender and sent Liu Mingqi to the Imperial Courtyard for trial.

But, one time and another.

Since the big big square "sacrifice for righteousness" came out, Liu Mingqi has actually stood invincible.

Emperor Jinghe also gave Confucian students a day to let "sacrifice their lives for righteousness" ferment among them.

As expected, the court officials standing in the court the next day had much more comments than the last time they knocked on the palace.

More than 1,300 officials in Beijing, including Confucian scholars, many of whom were not of high quality and could only stand outside the Chuigong Hall.

no way.

The Chuigong Hall can only accommodate more than 300 people.

There are more than 2,000 officials in Beijing. In addition to the Legal and Mohist students, there are only about 1,600 Confucian officials.

Now most of them are here, which shows how powerful it is to "sacrifice one's life for righteousness".

Mencius was indeed the biggest king after Confucius!

There are many people, especially when everyone is united.

Therefore, Confucian officials had a great advantage in the court discussion. Although Wang Zhigeng, Tan Senyu and others who violently criticized Liu Mingqi a few days ago were embarrassed to come, as long as they arrived, they would all shout for injustice for Liu Mingqi.

In this case, Legal officials such as Miao Yan were simply submerged in a surging wave.

If something else happens, Miao Yan will never be afraid of them being too crowded. It is amazing that you dismiss me from office or kill me, so don’t want me to surrender.

But this time the emperor greeted him in advance, so that Liu Mingqi was asked to go to the imperial capital for trial, and Miao Yan could not speak without trust.

So during the entire court period, Miao Yan basically had nothing to say.

When Emperor Jing He asked him, he continued to "oppose" and "disapprove".

But the voice of agreeing to pardoning Liu Mingqi was too high, and the Legalists' opinions were ignored at all.

Just when it was almost noon, the court held a result.

Emperor Jinghe was about to issue an order with a look of relief to pardon Prince Yu Liu Mingqi. Miao Yan, who had already stopped, stood in the middle of the Chuigong Hall.

"Miao Aiqing, what are you doing?" Jing and Emperor frowned slightly, thinking that you wouldn't make trouble for me again, we all agreed.

All Confucian officials glared at him.

Miao Yan, who acted as a puppet for one or two, stood up, but many Legal officials were excited.

They thought that at the most critical moment, Miao Yan would turn the tide and maintain the dignity of the Legalists as before.

Miao Yan was calm and unhurried, "Your Majesty, all serious criminals have always said that they should pay off their crimes with merits. I think that Prince Yu committed a serious crime. If he did not make up for it, such a light pardon was a contempt for the legal system of our Dakang Dynasty. I cannot agree with it."

Emperor Jinghe understood what he meant, and everyone understood it too.

The Confucian officials were furious when they heard this.

The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a second-rank senior member Feng Yuqiang, last time he chose to be neutral because Liu Mingqi made a big fuss.

But the saying "sacrificing one's life for righteousness" really hit the old man's X point and made him excited. He deeply felt that there was a successor to my Confucianism. No, there is a new saint about to appear!

Therefore, he had to protect Liu Mingqi, which means that Confucianism is more well-known and can stand firm.

He was the first to come out to ask for pardon for Liu Mingqi.

He was the boss of the Hanlin Academy. He did not participate in the government affairs on weekdays and only provided advice for the emperor. Therefore, he was deeply trusted by the emperor and the court officials were very satisfied with him.

Therefore, Feng Yuqiang's previous speech was very important.

Now that he heard Miao Yan's words, Feng Yuqiang couldn't help it and stood up and said, "Mr. Miao, Prince Yu, with the idea of ​​sacrificing his life for justice, killing illegal things and saving the people, what else should he make up for his merits? Isn't this a joke?"

"Mr. Feng, this is the same case and should not be taken apart." Miao Yan said lightly, "Even if you kill someone for justice, it is illegal. If there is no appropriate compensation, I think it is inappropriate."

"Mr. Miao, are you going to go against the civil and military officials in the court?" Secretary of Internal Affairs Zhang Xiang jumped out again.

"Don't dare."

Miao Yan shook his head, "But don't forget that Prince Yu is now in the Imperial Palace!"

"you!!"

Feng Yuqiang was furious and turned around and bowed: "Your Majesty, Miao Yan is unreasonable with his power. I beg your Majesty to punish him severely!"

"Please punish him severely!"

A group of civil servants also stood up.

Seeing them making trouble again, Emperor Jing and Emperor had a headache.

He thought about it, waved his hand to shut up, and then asked Miao Yan: "Miao Aiqing, why do you want Mingqi to atone for his sins?"

Miao Yan said loudly: "It's very simple. Prince Yu is very smart. Let him get rid of the gates of hell!"

"You are presumptuous!"

Before Emperor Jinghe could react, Feng Yuqiang became angry again: "Mr. Miao, I admire you for being devoted to the public on weekdays, but if you don't be a son of man, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Feng Yuqiang said this a bit harshly.

He cursed a third-rank official and was the first person in the Legalists to "not be a son of a man", which was like a shrew who scolded the streets.

But all the Confucian ministers who had figured it out nodded and glared at Miao Yan.

What is the gate of hell?

The Grand Canal is the most important shipping channel of this dynasty. It starts from Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, reaches the capital in the west, and reaches Zhuozhou in the north, with a total length of more than 5,000 miles.

In the north-to-south canal section of the Tongji Canal, there are twenty miles of river sections in the middle, with many hideous huge rocks. It has always been good for ships to go through ten or ten damages. For thousands of years, hundreds of people have been killed or injured every year.

In the dry season, because the riverbed is dewy and terrifying, all kinds of reefs appear, making the river channel impossible to navigate at all.

Therefore, the people named this section of the river "Gate of Ghost".

After the establishment of the Great Kang Dynasty, due to its increasing dependence on the Grand Canal, in order to improve the transportation capacity of the Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of Gate of G

When the ship arrived at the gate of hell, it went to the dock to transport it for twenty miles by land, and when it reached the other end, it was re-loaded on the ship.

In this way, although it took more time and a lot of manpower and material resources, it caused a significant reduction in accidents and increased transportation capacity, which benefited a lot.

In recent years, with the increasing number of materials needed in the Gyeonggi region, Hebei, and the three northwestern provinces, the docks and land transportation in the two sections of the Ghost Gate have been under tremendous pressure, and it can be said that they are overwhelmed.

It is not that no one has ever thought about solving the problem of the gates of hell, including sending people to smash the reefs during the dry season. As a result, the reefs are harder than hammers and iron drills. Thousands of people work hard for a day, and the results are minimal.

After five consecutive years of hard work, tens of thousands of people have not yet been destroyed by an average of one foot. Such a hard reef and a long river channel of twenty miles have made everyone give up hope.

Wu Yu, the Minister of Works, who is best at managing floods, has made various efforts a few years ago, but in the end he has to give up. He can only suggest constantly expanding the transportation and storage capacity of the docks and land.

Is Miao Yan actually wanted to throw it to Liu Mingqi for a major problem that has not been solved by countless people over the years?

If Liu Mingqi can't do it, then can Miao Yan use this as an excuse to punish Liu Mingqi again?

You must never let something like this happen!

This is also the main reason why Feng Yuqiang got angry!

Faced with the unanimous rebuke, Miao Yan was not panicked at all. He bowed: "Your Majesty, Prince Yu has done a lot of things that others cannot do, from inventing soap, floral essential oil, disinfecting alcohol, to creating an amazing toilet system and soft and skin-friendly toilet paper, all of which means that he has an outstanding talent in this regard.

Although the gate of hell has stumped many talented people, perhaps Prince Yu can think of a way to solve this super problem for the court?

If we can solve the problem of the gates of hell, our capacity can be increased by 20% immediately, and the manpower and material resources consumed can be reduced by 30%. In the meantime, it will be increased by half! What a great news for the court and the people?

Isn’t that great if we use the saved resources to deal with various disasters? You no longer have to worry about the people being displaced!”

Huh...

Emperor Jing He originally wanted to sternly reject Miao Yan.
