Chapter 260 Duanmu Zhen personally supervised the beheading, and he thought a lot about the coffin
said last time, because Duanmuzhen, a small team leader in the Hidden Dragon Army, a pro-army under the command of His Royal Highness the Prince, disregarded military law, not only insulted and killed a woman in a common person's family, but also revealed His Royal Highness the Prince's whereabouts to Shoutian Deyan of Jingyi County, Pingyuan Prefecture without authorization. As a result, this county guard "chicken feathers as an arrow", in order to be able to cling to His Royal Highness the Prince, he abused the people's power to build a palace without authorization, and also selected beauties for His Royal Highness the Prince.
As a result, when Xia Lian, the commander of the Hidden Dragon Army, escorted this person and personally came to the front of His Royal Highness the Prince. When Duanmuzhen, the crown prince, learned about this, he was furious. He immediately brought this person to Yin Shen Shizhen, the Pingyuan Mansion.
When Shen Shizhen saw His Royal Highness the Prince, he was originally going to bow down, but His Royal Highness the Prince, Duanmuzhen, said: "No, Shen Fuyin, today the palace is considered a defendant, and the palace is not well managed by its subordinates, and this team is Lin Jin insulting the woman to death." At the same time, this person leaked the whereabouts of the palace, so that in order to flatter the palace, Shoutian Deyan of Jingyi County disregarded the law, abused the people's power without authorization, built the palace, and chose women without authorization. Therefore, Shen Fuyin was also invited to Jingyi County in person. ”
When Shen Shizhen heard this, he immediately followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Jingyi County in person, and it turned out that Jingyi County Shoutian Deyan was still excitedly building the palace.
However, he never imagined that the army of the Hidden Dragon Army, which had always been elite, suddenly appeared near the palace. When Tian Deyan heard about this, he thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had personally sent him to inspect the palace. As a result, Zhao Hongyi, the captain of the Hidden Dragon Military Academy of this battalion, was originally an upright and loyal person, and he couldn't rub sand in his eyes. In particular, he could not tolerate such officials who oppressed the people. If it weren't for the law of the country, he would have beheaded this dog official a long time ago!
At this moment, Tian Deyan looked at the burly general in front of him, immediately took out a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, and said flatteringly: "I have seen this captain, this little meaning is not a tribute, and I ask the captain to accept it." Excuse me, did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send you to inspect the palace?"
Zhao Hongyi said coldly: "Tian Junshou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Yin Shen Shizhen of Pingyuan Mansion have arrived at your yamen, and His Royal Highness ordered me to arrest you." ”
Tian Deyan trembled and knelt on the ground, while Zhao Hongyi looked at him with disgust and immediately ordered his soldiers to arrest him. At the same time, he shouted to the people who were building the palace: "Folks, don't do it. Come to me and get paid. At the same time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he would personally visit you because of his own reasons that you have all suffered. ”
The people who built the palace were elated. They all came to Zhao Hongyi to receive their wages. And every one of the people who received wages was registered.
Zhao Hongyi's subordinates brought Tian Deyan to the county guard yamen, and at this moment, in the yamen, there was also a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who also committed a crime.
He naturally knew everything about Lord Fu Yin, who was sitting above the public hall, but he didn't know a young and handsome young man in plain clothes standing under the public hall.
And Shen Shizhen, the governor of the palace, said: "Tian Junshou, you ignore the law and discipline, abuse the people's power without authorization, and build a palace for His Royal Highness the Prince, this is your sin." In your office, you have corrupted the law and oppressed the people, which is your second sin. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has committed a capital crime and should have been immediately detained, but not only did you not follow the law, but released him without authorization, which is your third crime. Each of these counts is a capital offense, what else do you have to say?"
Looking at Fu Yin and hearing his guilt, Tian Deyan collapsed on the ground.
At this moment, I heard Shen Shizhen say loudly: "Come on, invite the family of the woman who insulted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to death." ”
Soon, the officials went to bring the family to the public court, and when they saw Fu Yin, they immediately knelt down and said: "I have seen Lord Fu Yin, the little girl really died too unjustly, and I ask Lord Fu Yin to make the decision for us!"
Shen Shizhen immediately said: "Come here, call him to come." ”
Soon, he came to the court and immediately reported: "I have seen my lord, according to the results of the autopsy, he was indeed strangled to death, and according to the comparison of the wounds, it is consistent with the prisoner under the command of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Shen Shizhen immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, come here, let the prisoner get a visa." ”
Lin Jin looked up at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beside him, he didn't have the slightest resentment, because he knew that he was wrong, so he quickly signed the pledge.
I saw that Shen Shizhen at this time immediately said after looking at the signature and drawing: "Okay, according to the law, if a prisoner insults a woman to death, violates military law, and is immediately beheaded." ”
After that, Shen Shizhen came to Duan Muzhen, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was standing above the public court, and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, and the official has completed the verdict. ”
At this time, the county keeper Tian Deyan, who was paralyzed on the ground, looked at the elegant young man in surprise, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to the family member who had killed his daughter by his own subordinates, and said to them: "The Imperial Majesty of this palace is not strict, and he actually killed your daughter, which is the sin of this palace." This palace is ashamed of you, and I dare not expect you to forgive, but this palace must give your daughter a funeral, and personally support the coffin, and I hope you can allow it. ”
The parents, who had just lost their daughter, originally thought that this matter was related to His Royal Highness the Prince, and they were afraid that it would not be resolved, but they didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would personally take Lord Fu Yin to personally ask the case, not only to bring the culprit who killed their daughter to justice, but also to sentence the county guard who harbored the criminals. What I didn't expect was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would personally make amends.
The husband and wife were already satisfied when they saw the criminals and the officials who harbored the criminals being brought to justice! They felt that it would be a bit too heavy to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to personally make amends! They originally wanted to refuse, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insisted.
Because Tian Deyan was the county guard, although he was sentenced to death, he was only temporarily imprisoned in the prison first. But Lin Jin was directly pulled to the execution ground. The crowd of onlookers was almost crowded. At the same time, there are tens of thousands of soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Army who were personally brought by Prince Duanmu Zhen this time.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood on the execution ground and said to all the people first: "Folks, this time it was the Imperial Majesty of the Palace who was not strict, and let his subordinates and evil officials oppress you in the name of the Palace without authorization, so that you could not be stable. This is the fault of this palace, and this palace will make amends to you!"
I saw that some of these people said loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, we do not blame His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
All the people were even more joyful, as if they were celebrating the New Year, and they all admired the fairness of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
And Duanmuzhen said to all the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Army: "Brothers, most of you have followed the palace since childhood, and we were born and died together, in order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment? Yes, we are also for the sake of making meritorious contributions and glorifying our ancestors." However, we are all children of the people, and as soldiers, we are responsible for defending the country and protecting the people, so how can we endanger the people? Brothers, I hope that in the future, you will take Lin Jin as a warning and warn yourself at all times. ”
As noon passed, the knife in the executioner's hand had fallen. As Lin Jin's head fell to the ground, the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Army, who were closest to him, were also stunned. Of course, for Duanmuzhen, this was just the beginning, because with Lin Jin's example, he was determined to use this as an excuse to immediately start a purge of the officials and troops of the seven northwestern provinces.
On this day, after the gate beheaded Lin Jin at noon, Duanmuzhen immediately went to the funeral for the woman who was insulted and killed by Lin Jin. And the Hidden Dragon Army under his command followed.
In fact, on the way to the funeral, although the journey is not too far, for Duanmuzhen, it seems to be very far. He kept thinking about his father's words, thinking about why he could use chicken feathers as arrows with just one team under his command, and the local county guard was also because this person was a subordinate of His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to be able to flatter himself, he was able to ignore the laws of the court and endanger the people without authorization. He has a lot of doubts, but also a lot of thoughts about the future. He even thought about how innocent this family who had his daughter killed by his own subordinates? Thinking about it again, this was just happening right under his nose, and in those places where the emperor was far away, there were not even more many people who held chicken feathers as arrows? And those vassal kings and local tyrants, how many innocent people they harmed in vain? In the future, he wanted to unify the world, but the primary policy was to be strict with the law, not only to abide by his father's idea of the rule of law, but also to abide by the law even more. He knew that such tragedies would still happen, but he believed that under his own rule, such tragedies would become less and less.
My father once taught himself, "The monarch is light, the society is secondary, and the people are important." "The people are the water, and the king is the boat." Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat", it seems that he should learn more from these words of the sages and deduce his own ideas of governing the country.
Duanmuzhen thought that his father still lives in a dilapidated palace, and in the past 18 years, he has never built a palace, but his father is still peaceful, happy to be poor, and ashamed of arrogance and lasciviousness. My father once recited, "There are thousands of mansions in Ande, sheltering the world, the cold people are happy, and the wind and rain are not moving, and they are as safe as mountains." ”
Duanmuzhen understood that his father had pinned hopes on himself, hoping that he would be able to "be better than the blue", and his father once said that "there are talented people in the country, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years." He has cultivated a large number of talents for himself, hoping that he can be more holy than him in the future.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
