Chapter six hundred and twentieth IX: Royal driving and personal expedition
Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes, and a faint light flashed through his eyes. He was surprised to find that the task was done.
Your Majesty loves Ye Chunqiu, which is well known to everyone, but so what? The one who takes action first was you, Ye Chunqiu, and the one who fights back was Liu Tang.
If necessary, Liu Tang would abandon his son, and all the blame would be on Liu Tang. As long as Ye Chunqiu died, all the initiative would be on him.
He took a deep breath and said with some joy: "Go and see you."
Seeing the driver... At this time, you have to see the driver. You have to get a vaccination with Your Majesty first. You have to tell Your Majesty that Ye Chunqiu and his people came to trouble the Warriors Camp.
He dusted the dust on his body, calmed down the joy on his face, took the whisk on the desk, and looked at Fang He deeply: "You go with us, but what should you say, I guess you know?"
Fang Hebun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I know."
In the warm chalet.
Zhu Houzhao got up early this morning, and it was approaching the end of the year. The court's affairs were already busy. The Ministry of Revenue wanted to report the accounts and expenses of each prefecture and county, and count the national treasury; the Ministry of War would check the guards and strive for food and wages for the coming year; the Ministry of Personnel would conduct a one-year Beijing inspection; the Ministry of Justice would present the list of the death row prisoners this year, and the Ministry of Rites would prepare the New Year gift...
Therefore, several cabinet ministers gathered together and invited him to see each other every day. Although each department could handle some things on its own, some things had to be nodded.
Zhu Houzhao was so pulled by someone, and he had to come if he didn't come. Master Liu, Master Xie, Master Li, Jiao Fang, Minister of Personnel Zhang Cai, Minister of Justice Liu Jing, Minister of Works Bi Heng, and Censor Hong Zhong, all gathered here.
The ground dragon burned in the warm pavilion. Because the snow scattered outside were flying, they also lit candles. The ministers sitting sideways didn't look very good, because the little emperor has been lazy these days and can't lift up any energy in anything he does, which is worrying.
Of course, there are also angry people, just like Liu Jing, the Minister of Justice, is a strong man. He is commonly known as Liu Tiemian, and is known for being upright and upright. At this moment, his face was extremely gloomy. Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking completely uninspired, he was angry.
Liu Jing came prepared and said first: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice reported the death row prisoners of this year to the palace a few days ago. Why did His Majesty all the prisoners who were killed yesterday?"
After hearing Liu Jing's words, everyone here was amused and crying.
Zhu Houzhao yawned and he didn't sleep all night because he burned his map a few days ago. After thinking about it, he felt a pity, so his mind was full of maps... Now when he thinks about it, he begins to feel pity in his heart again.
There are many death row prisoners in various prefectures and counties in the world, with hundreds of people. When they report to the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice will report to the palace at the end of the year and ask His Majesty to decide.
In other words, although local officials like to sentence people to death, they still need to go through legal procedures if they ask for the death penalty. For example, they have to report to the Ministry of Justice for verification, and then send it to Dali Temple for verification. If these two ministries have no objections, they cannot be killed, and the emperor needs to personally interrogate them.
Usually, this is the old rule. A list of hundreds of people is sent every year. The emperor will randomly detain a few or more death row prisoners, while other prisoners who have not been detained will continue to be detained and will not die for a while. If there is any happy event in the court, it will inevitably be granted a general amnesty for the whole world, and many people will be exempted from punishment.
Since Emperor Wen, this system has been working well, showing that the palace is compassionate.
As a result, he was a mess this year. I don’t know what his Majesty has sucked. Hundreds of death row prisoners were sent to the palace. Zhu Houzhao waved his pen and asked for it all in the autumn.
Liu Jing was so angry that he vomited blood. He hadn't played like this for more than a hundred years. He was just pretending. Although many people deserved to die, they would never have more than twenty people a year. This is a customary rule. You are good. If you kill them all in one breath, he felt that the Shangshu could not do it anymore, so he came to question it early in the morning.
Zhu Houzhao still said lazily: "Oh, didn't you let me take the initiative? I looked at the people inside, either for stealing, killing people or committing adultery and plundering. I was so angry that I killed all these evil people. What's wrong with it?"
Liu Jing was about to cry, beat his chest and stamped his feet and said, "Your Majesty must have a compassionate heart. If the people in the world know that Your Majesty does not have the heart of compassion for the world, I am afraid..."
Zhu Houzhao didn't have the heart to listen to him crying, and was distracted. He thought about his thoughts carefully, how should Ye Chunqiu's new army be purged? Now someone wants to abolish the new army. Will it be sacked? If the practice fails, just let Ye Chunqiu still wait for the imperial edict.
Then he couldn't help feeling sad, sighed, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Hey... Ye Aiqing has other abilities, why can't he train well? Zhenguo Mansion doesn't want it like this? The new army doesn't want it either?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Liu Jing called him.
Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, but his face was full of irritability and could not help but sternly: "You always let me make the decision. Why do you want to do this again? So what if you kill those death row prisoners who deserve to die? I don't have to be sympathetic."
"Cough cough..." A string of coughs rang out in the warm chalet. Everyone knew that His Majesty was in a state of snoring again.
Liu Jian wanted to persuade him, but at this moment, a little eunuch came outside and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yong, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Fang He asked for a visit."
Liu Jing's anger suddenly became silent, and what he wanted to say was swallowed back into his stomach.
Such an important meeting has such a great relationship. It is logical that no internal ministers are allowed to seek advice rashly, but the Zhengde Dynasty is really a little demon in the temple, and any rare things will come out.
As if he was afraid that Zhu Houzhao would not meet, the eunuch stumbled again and then said, "I said it was a big deal to report it."
Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "What a big deal? Then I have to listen to it and spread it."
Several of the cabinet masters and the ministry were speechless, and each of them looked very bad.
But after a while, Zhang Yonghe and Fang He came in, and bowed to the ground. Zhang Yong suddenly bowed to the ground and said, "Your Majesty... Oh no, something big happened... The Warriors' camp has attacked someone..."
The words were not shocking and they were endless. Everyone was stunned.
Something went wrong...
Who else can be there for those who dare to attack the inner guards besides the thief? This is at the foot of the emperor, how could such a thing happen?
Just as everyone was hesitating, Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and instantly became fierce: "Where did the thief come from? Who is so bold? Oh... I should be the emperor in person."
"Your Majesty, it's the new army to govern the country!" Zhang Yong said hurriedly.
