Chapter 102: Punishment
Wu Kuan has no way out.
He was insulted by Ouyang Zhi and his Majesty.
If I kneel down and beg for mercy at this time, then... I will be completely finished.
He was determined to take a gamble and simply impeach the culprit... Fang Jifan!
Emperor Hongzhi looked at him coldly.
But Wu Kuan was cheering up at this moment. Although it was in great pain, he said gritting his teeth: "Your Majesty, this must have been Fang Jifan who bewitched Your Majesty. Fang Jifan has a bad reputation and has made countless money. Your Majesty, how many bad things he has done on your back? Do you know? The so-called new policy is just a lie, a tool for him to make money... Your Majesty was bewitched by him and still had to be obsessed with it. When the people in the world suffer from Fang Jifan's misfortune...
It's been a long time. Has Your Majesty let down the expectations of the world for a Fang Jifan? Why didn't Your Majesty get close to wise men and stay away from such villains? Why didn't Your Majesty come to ask, Fang Jifan and others... How many sinful things have they done? Your Majesty... The old minister was humiliated today and had nothing to say. It's just that I am a minister. I serve the king and speak for justice. I'll ask Your Majesty to be clear about his thoughts, understand the loyalty and treacherous, and return the people of the world to a clear mind!"
He said with emotion and emotion, and he cried out, as if he was afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to make up his mind. He continued: "Is it more important... a Fang Jifan is more important than the country, the expectations of his ancestors and the people of the world? Your Majesty..."
He kowtowed hysterically.
Wang Ao and others all felt a little sad.
I have to say.
Wu Kuan is simply trying to kill him.
This is a deadly refutation.
Whether Fang Jifan died or Wu Kuan died.
Everyone's hearts were in chaos.
On the one hand, they are also scholars, and psychologically they agree with Wu Kuan.
Although Wu Kuan was too extreme, he agreed with some of his words.
What's more, Wu Kuan is a gentleman. He is just speaking up for justice, even if what he said is wrong, everyone still admires him.
Scholars advocate character and emphasize perseverance like bamboo.
But... Wu Kuan, you are not a good person, you just curse yourself. What do you have to kill Fang Jifan?
Everyone...but they all bought houses and carried the mortgage on their backs. So far... are waiting for their houses to appreciate.
Think about it, at the beginning of the market fluctuation, many people were almost forced to jump off the building.
If Fang Jifan is convicted now, so many disciples and grandchildren will definitely be implicated. With such huge fluctuations, who would dare to buy a house? This house is afraid that it will fall to the end and flow down three thousand feet.
If you, Wu Kuan, didn't have a meal, you would have ruined everyone's fault. You are not moral or moral.
In the workshop, the air suddenly became tense.
Fang Jifan also realized the seriousness of the problem and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is clear, my son... I have no selfishness. In the court and the country, who doesn't know that my son is a loyal and honest person, obeys the public and law-abiding, and is only sincere and loyal to the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty. Please ask Your Majesty to... be aware of it!"
"I..." Emperor Hongzhi sneered.
He knew that if he took the inkstone and hit Wu Kuan today, he would be criticized by countless scholars.
He also knew that this might become a major stain in his imperial career in Qianqiu's historical writing.
He even knew...the decision made today... would have a profound impact.
But he took a deep breath: "I have already observed clearly. Wu Kuan!"
The word Wu Kuan is very unpolite.
Wu Kuan trembled: "I... are here!"
Emperor Hongzhi stared at him: "You said there are treacherous ministers around me. This treacherous minister is Fang Jifan. I am bewitched by Fang Jifan, right?"
"Yes!" Wu Kuan did not hesitate, and he planned to walk all the way to the black.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled even colder: "Then I will tell you, who is bewitching me!"
“…”
Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Changcheng!"
Chang Cheng was already scared to the point of being ashamed.
He almost dared not see Emperor Hongzhi. Mr. Zhu, who was once kind, has become the Emperor of Ming today. Countless people crawled at his feet, and his words and deeds changed. The majesty that appeared on that side, if the gleam of the eyes was slim and every move, then the spirit of no one else but me, after a sound of Changcheng, completely defeated Changcheng's psychological defense line. Changcheng snapped and fell to the ground: "The grass people are there, the grass people are there, the grass people die, the grass people have no eyes to know Mount Tai, the emperor forgives the crime, the emperor forgives the crime."
"What are you doing when you kneel!" Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Stand up! Stand up straight for me, straighten your chest!"
Chang Cheng was scared and a fishy smell came out of his body.
He trembled and wanted to stand up carefully, but he felt his body was soft and finally stood up straight while holding the milling machine, but he lowered his head and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
Emperor Hongzhi pointed at Chang Cheng: "This person... is the treacherous minister you said in your mouth, and I was bewitched by him!"
Wu Kuan looked up and looked at Chang Cheng. This ordinary person made a look of surprise flash in Wu Kuan's eyes.
The rest of the people looked at this inconspicuous man, he... was a treacherous minister!"
Emperor Hongzhi turned his sleeves and said, "Changcheng."
“At, at.”
"I'm here to ask you, where are you from?"
"Tongzhou..."
"What karma did you hold before?"
Chang Cheng was about to cry and stammered: "Caomin is on the dock, do his feet!"
"Why did you come here!" Emperor Hongzhi pressed step by step.
Chang Cheng looked at everyone uneasyly, and he said in a vain, "Can't survive?"
"Can't survive?" Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "No, but my Minister of Personnel told me that you live well and enjoy peace. Everyone has received the favor of the new policy of Baoding Prefecture. In Baoding Prefecture, officials are honest and love the people as their children. They think about what the people think everywhere. I will ask you why you can't survive in this Yao and Shun era like Tongzhou!"
Buzz...
All the officials were stunned.
Wu Kuan looked at Chang Cheng nervously.
Yang Yiqing looked suspicious, and he felt something was wrong.
Chang Cheng's body trembled.
Yes, why is Tongzhou so peaceful and everyone lives in peace and contentment? Why can't you, Wu Kuan, survive?
Chang Cheng trembled.
He has no knowledge.
He has lived like an ant for his whole life.
Now, he looked at the blue-faced Mr. Zhu, no, it was the emperor.
Suddenly... an inexplicable emotion occupied Changcheng's emotions.
"Nonsense!" Chang Cheng was angry. His eyes were red and he no longer had fear. Some were overestimating his abilities, like an ant looking at the sky, accusing the injustice of the way of heaven.
He knew that this was not a good choice because... it might kill him. Anyone standing here just needs to gently pinch his hand to strangle himself to death.
But Chang Cheng's inexplicable anger and anger occupied his mind and filled his heart. Even if he was just an ant, shouldn't he be angry? Even if this anger is meaningless!
"Nonsense!" Chang Cheng burst into tears: "What are you living and working in peace, what are you loving the people as your son, what are you clean and honest? If you love the people like this, why would I leave my hometown? Since the new policy of Tongzhou, my family can still have a full meal, hungry meal, and live a life of peace, but these good officials with clean and honest hands came to Tongzhou and started his new policy. How many people have no way to live."
Chang Cheng cried, burst into tears, wiping his tears: "My mother is already sixty years old, and the rice price is rising day by day. She is sick and can't catch medicine, so she covered her quilt and survived. Yes, she has to survive. She trembled, her whole body is so hot, she has no food to eat, no porridge to drink, and borrowed everywhere. What she got is just one by one, the so-called vouchers given by the government, and what kind of favors are they? Ordinary people cannot exchange silver for this voucher. Only those who are arrogant and do good luck on weekdays can go to the government to exchange it. They exchanged a hundred taels of silver voucher for a hundred taels of real gold and silver, but from our hands, these hundred taels of silver vouchers can be exchanged for only a few dou of rice... The gongs and drums outside are loud and gongs, saying that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, but my mother is covering the fragile floc, just erecting, gritting her teeth... It's just like that..."
Chang Cheng beat his chest: "I feel uncomfortable. When my father was dying, he asked me to guard this family, serve my mother, give birth to a child as soon as possible, and pass on the family line. But... if I hadn't been forced to the end of the country, how could I be willing to give up them and leave my hometown to come to Baoding Mansion? I... I'm sorry for my dead father, I'm sorry for my mother, I... I... I'm not promising, but..."
He opened his tears, his face seemed to be covered with death.
You, Wu Kuan, can speak up for justice.
If you are always so honest and honest, you will be too impatient to be afraid of life and death? Who can die?
He sneered at Wu Kuan, his eyes showing deep hatred: "How can you? How can you turn black and white so into a fairyland on earth? You are also human, you have flesh and blood, heart and lungs, but why... say such shameless words. When my mother was seriously ill, where are you? When my wife was starving and cold, where are you? What is this living and working in peace, what is your heart, and what is your heart?"
“…”
Wu Kuan was stunned.
He looked at Chang Cheng in fear.
He saw the man who was trembling and didn't even dare to raise his head. He suddenly became terrifying and terrifying in front of him.
Wu Kuan suddenly felt a little afraid for no reason. He... was afraid of such a slut!
