Chapter seven hundred and seventy-two: I am the emperor, I call the shots
Enfess guilty and punished.
This is a thought that rises from everyone's mind.
Even though you knew that Datong was in danger, and even though you knew that it was a life-and-death death, you actually admitted that you encouraged the emperor to run to Datong.
What does this mean?
This is for death.
Even if Wang Zhen is a powerful traitor who encourages Emperor Yingzong to lead the army in person, at least there is a high-sounding reason. The so-called emperor is the ruler of the country, but he is not lucky and is just a thriller by the Oirats. Datong is completely different. Datong has smallpox. Datong has just experienced a major disaster. Ye Chunqiu, you, dare to instigate Your Majesty to go to such a ghost place? What is the difference between this and pulling Your Majesty to die?
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a regicide.
Everyone was filled with coldness in their hearts, and Ye Chunqiu... was dead.
A smile had already risen on Jiao Fang's face, and this smile was smug.
Ye Chunqiu admitted this, which was equivalent to having a nail on his coffin board.
Among the shocked people, some people couldn't help but get angry. Good you Ye Chunqiu, you are really brave.
Of course, some people can't help but feel sorry for Ye Chunqiu. Seeing Ye Chunqiu's calm and calm look, most of them didn't know how serious the matter was. This is definitely not a little holy relative. With an imperial teacher as his mentor and with Mr. Xie's care, he could get away with it. What is the difference between such an extraordinary thing and rebellion?
Zhu Houzhao's face turned completely gloomy. He looked at Ye Chunqiu with a look of surprise. He never expected that Ye Chunqiu would really take all the blame on him.
Zhu Houzhao had to suspect that this guy... was crazy.
"Let's go!" Zhu Houzhao stood up, and he couldn't help it after all...
I don’t care about so much. No matter how naive Zhu Houzhao is, he knows that this matter must not be allowed to develop like this, and he must not sit idly by.
"There is no need to be tried again in this case." Zhu Houzhao said bluntly, his voice loudly, and he just wanted to end the imperial trial quickly and accurately, and his voice became cold: "I'll be here today."
At this time, Ye Chunqiu's voice was heard, "If it weren't for the instigation of the superior, Your Majesty would never have gone to Datong. Fortunately, thanks to the Emperor's blessing, Your Majesty has nothing to do, and Your Majesty is guilty."
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's face became even more miserable. He looked at Ye Chunqiu in surprise, but saw that Ye Chunqiu still looked calm, and only looked at Jiao Fang, saying, "I wonder if Mr. Jiao has anything else to ask?"
Jiao Fang was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Houzhao stand up to protect Ye Chunqiu. To a certain extent, Ye Chunqiu admitted his evil deeds of instigating His Majesty to go to Datong. His Majesty was ungrateful and wanted to protect him like this. This not only did not benefit Ye Chunqiu, but would only add fuel to the fire.
What is the emperor? The emperor is the son of heaven and the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. Now the emperor exonerated Ye Chunqiu for such a heinous crime, which will only make all officials even more dissatisfied. Ye Chunqiu almost killed His Majesty. Will His Majesty still protect him? Then what will Ye Chunqiu do next time? Wouldn't His Majesty still protect him?
The officials of the court are not just the officials appointed by the court. Behind each of them is a tight network of relationships, fellow townsmen, colleagues, disciples...
To a certain extent, what they represent is the scholars and gentry in the world. Once the anger is ignited and they share the same hatred, the fire of the fallen leaves will burn ragingly, and anyone who dares to stop it will be burned to ashes.
Jiao Fang smiled slightly, just waiting for you, Ye Chunqiu, to ask Mr. Jiao what else to ask?
Jiao Fang had nothing to ask. He just looked respectful and stood up and saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has finished the review. Please ask Your Majesty to judge."
The ball hit Zhu Houzhao's feet.
Your Majesty, you can do it yourself. The ministers are waiting, and the subjects of the world are waiting. I will not be this bad guy. If Your Majesty wants to protect him, it is your Majesty's business, but it is useless to protect him. The more you protect him, the more infamous Ye Chunqiu will become. The more you protect him, the stronger the power of anti-Ye will be. From now on, Ye Chunqiu will replace Liu Jin and become the target of the world.
After all, Liu Jin is just a eunuch. It doesn’t matter if he offended someone, but what about Ye Chunqiu?
Behind Jiao Fang's respectfulness, there is a hidden murderous intent.
After he said that, he waited well for Zhu Houzhao's answer.
The show is about to begin.
Ye Chunqiu stood in the hall, and Zhu Houzhao looked at Ye Chunqiu angrily. This third brother is really...if it is pushed to me, things will be easier. He... he insists on taking this as a head.
Zhu Houzhao remembered Ye Chunqiu's warning, and Ye Chunqiu hoped that Zhu Houzhao would never protect herself.
But now, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but protect him. Once he thought he should be punished, even if Ye Chunqiu had cleared his relationship with the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, it would probably be a death sentence. This matter is very serious and it is a monarchy.
Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "I said that there is no need to investigate this case anymore, this matter ends here."
He paused and continued, "That Datong is what I want to go to, it has nothing to do with the Ye Qing family. What the Ye Qing family said is simply nonsense and cannot be accepted. Don't you want to scold me? Then come and scold me. Wan Fang is guilty, the crime is in my bow. It's all my fault. It's my confusion and nonsense. How do you punish me? You can tell me that it is to issue an edict to blame yourself? Or hit my board? They all come to me."
These words were like poking a hornet's nest.
At this point, Ye Chunqiu has already pleaded guilty, and Your Majesty wants to excuse Ye Chunqiu?
The Ming Dynasty... This is about to end.
Countless people were angry, and the crowd was about to jump out, but Jiao Fang was still in the class. From this imperial trial, he was only responsible for lighting the fire. As for the conflict between the angry officials and the emperor, it had nothing to do with him. At this time, Ye Chunqiu was no longer important. Even though he was still alive, as a clear stream, he was trapped in this quagmire, which was no different from death.
He has now become a bystander, and the matter here has nothing to do with him. If possible, he can even sneak to meet him to express his sympathy for His Majesty.
From beginning to end, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. He had never targeted Ye Chunqiu and even expressed complete respect for Zhu Houzhao.
He set a fire, but in everyone's eyes, it was not him who set the fire.
