Volume 1 Plum Huang Shiyu Chapter 71 Taking the exam in prison
Jinling Tongzhi knew that his life was at stake at this time, and his political future was in the thought of the man in front of him, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground with his hands and cried bitterly, the official was wronged!
Zhu Runze was indifferent, pointed at him with his finger and said, "Wronged?" Hmph, you officials, line up in a row, and kill all of them, maybe there are wrongdoers, but if you kill one by one, you are afraid that there will be fish that will slip through the net. I know what you think, and if I kill you, how can I ensure that the next term will not be corrupt or mess around? I'm afraid that you are very wrong.
Zhu Runze paused, and said in a cold voice, Dao, the empty seal case is an example!
Hearing this sentence, everyone felt a chill down their spines. Don't look at this emperor's pleasant face on weekdays, but he is not ambiguous at all when he is murderous.
At the time of the empty seal last year, several cabinet scholars wrote letters one after another, and even officials who had conflicts with Shen Zhengdao in Su Rili also pleaded for mercy. Since ancient times, the punishment cannot be punishable by doctors, but this empty seal case, as long as it is slightly touched by the above, all the heads will be beheaded. This emperor would rather paralyze the household departments of the whole country than control the hundred officials of the court in his hands with a strong style.
The Lord knew that he could not escape the difficulty, so he even kowtowed and said, the lower official is guilty!
Zhu Runze asked, what are you guilty of?
The lower officials were confused for a while, listened to the slander, and wronged this Li Xiucai, and the lower officials were willing to accept the punishment!
Zhu Runze snorted coldly, the crime of negligence, the crime you committed, let this Li Gongzi talk about it.
At this time, I have already put Li Muge down, Li Muge has learned that the person who gave the folding fan that day is the current emperor, heard the emperor's speech, even got up and bowed, grass people Li Muge, long live my emperor!
Zhu Runze no longer shirked, and bowed, saying, Li Muge, you read poetry and books, and you understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if you judge this case, what should you do?
I said in my heart that Zhu Runze is indeed smart, and Zhu Runze admires this son very much in his heart, and now he hands over this matter to Li Muge to deal with, to put it bluntly, it is also a disguised investigation.
But seeing that Li Muge was neither humble nor arrogant, the grass people thought that according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this Tongzhi had committed three crimes. First, it is a dereliction of duty to arbitrarily draw conclusions without investigation and evidence collection; second, it is an abuse of power by taking advantage of one's power to make a trick and deliberately fabricate unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and to attempt to do so; third, after an incident occurs, one intends to cover up the facts and bring harm to the people. Not to mention whether there are other problems with this adult, but from these three crimes, they should be dismissed and investigated, but the matter was attempted, and he was demoted by three levels and fined for three years.
Even I can't help but worship this kid, if I were an ordinary person and was insulted like this, I would have taken the opportunity to take revenge, but he can do things and never forget his original intention, which is rare.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Runze's mouth, and he ordered left and right, and handled it accordingly.
The corners of Lord Xiao's mouth moved slightly, he glanced at us, but he didn't speak, I knew that he was weighing whether to tell me and Zhang Youqian about stuffing silver, but in today's situation, it is useless to say more, if the imperial examination fraud is pulled out, it will be the crime of killing the head.
My heart is also dark, and when this matter is over, I will hand over the five thousand taels of silver tickets in full. I felt uneasy, but Zhang Youqian didn't see it.
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the embezzlement of 5,000 taels of silver by court officials was a crime of stripping the last of the skin. But the theft of five thousand taels is exile to the frontier. It stands to reason that corruption is much more serious than theft, but the officials of the court still commit crimes against the wind and are happy to do so.
As the saying goes, big thieves are easy to ban, and corrupt officials are hard to stop. I can't help but wonder what is the use of infiltrating these six gates on the orders of the master.
Li Muge suddenly asked, is the spring festival over?
Zhang Youqian said that there is still half a day, and I am afraid it will be too late.
Zhu Runze said, this is simple, if you are interested, I will give you grace.
When Li Muge heard this, he stood still, and Xie Shiting reminded on the side, still not grateful? Dean Lu said hehe, I'm afraid this Li Xiucai will not sell this face.
I suddenly realized that since ancient times, officialdom has paid attention to family background, and Zhu Runze appreciates Li Muge, but if Li Muge is directly promoted to the office, he is not on the right path of the imperial examination, and his confidence is naturally insufficient.
Thinking of this, I said, now that the hour has not yet come, and the two examiners are here, why not limit this prison to half a day and use this prison as a school palace?
Dean Lu said, very wonderful, very wonderful, so it can make a beautiful conversation!
Zhu Runze naturally agreed, and hurriedly someone went to prepare, and Lu and Xie informed Li Muge of the question, and answered it here.
We were waiting outside, although the Song Governor was in the examination room, he was not a fool, he had already sent someone to send candied melons and fruits, Zhu Runze was sitting on the coffee table, and we were waiting sideways.
The man in black who had been standing behind the emperor suddenly asked at this moment, Su Zhutou, I don't know what sect you are and where you are taught?
His voice is a little shrill and his face is white and beardless, he should be a person in the palace.
I said that my family was in the Yanmen generation, learned some three-legged cat kung fu, and later in Liumen, and followed an old-timer to learn guns, and now it can be a beginner, which makes you laugh.
The man in black, since he is idle, why don't you ask for advice?
I complained in my heart, since Momoyama came out for five or six days, there was a problem with the internal force, and I haven't come up with a solution, and I'm so busy with mundane things that I don't have time to take care of it. This man in black is the emperor's bodyguard, and his martial arts are unfathomable, how can I be his opponent?
I even said how could I be an adult opponent.
The emperor smiled and said, you kid are content, Mr. Xue thinks very highly of himself, his Huashan swordsmanship, even if Feng Wanli may not be able to defeat him, if he is willing to guide you, it is your creation.
I said that it is better to be respectful than to obey.
When he came to a spacious place in the center, he stood with a horizontal knife, but what he held in his hand was the lying spear style in the three golden snake styles.
A sword groan, crisp and piercing.
A cold glow came into view.
The sword is contained but not fired, but it can intimidate people's souls.
I mentioned the spirit of twelve, but I couldn't mention the slightest internal force. Whenever I try to induce the true qi in the Nakshatra Sea, the three true qi in my body are entangled with each other, and no matter which one comes out, it will always be entangled back by the other two.
Only once, on the long street, in the battle between Feng Wanli and Xu Kaishan, the true qi in my body could give birth to induction and erupt out, but in that situation, with the end of the battle between Xu and Feng, it returned to calm.
Manager Xue said sharply, look at the sword!
After all, men are like swords, and swords are like men, and human swords become one, and they stab at me. Fast, smart, weird, this is my first feeling when I see this swordsmanship.
I blocked with a horizontal knife, and when there was a loud bang, I hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, Manager Xue didn't use his internal force, but I was shocked by this shock, which made my blood surge.
On the way south, Xu Kaishan once commented on the world's swordsmanship, he said, Huashan swordsmanship, the sword is light and agile, and there are no tricks to win. But the person in front of him is taking a short, fast, and ruthless path.
I suddenly remembered an anecdote I had seen in the history of the rivers and lakes.
Twenty years ago, Xue Renfeng, the former head of the Huashan faction, shocked the world with a set of evil sword techniques, and his martial arts almost wanted to step outside the three realms, but for some reason, he suddenly disappeared.
After thinking about it, Manager Xue had already made three or four moves, and I was clumsy step by step, without the slightest power to fight back.
This is the difference in the realm, I was proud of being able to create my own moves, but I didn't expect to be full of flaws in the eyes of Manager Xue, like child's play.
However, it's not like I'm not at all helpless. In the past few months, I have been fighting against Xu Kaishan every day, but I have also stolen some of his knife skills, after surviving the first few offensives, I used Xu Kaishan's move to cross the knife immediately, and when Mr. Xue's sword moves were exhausted, the horizontal knife was pushed obliquely, and he was shaken hard.
Manager Xue's face became solemn, his body exuded a cold momentum, and the long sword in his hand was like ice. This sword intent enveloped me, and I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body, like I was in an ice cave.
Ward off evil swordsmanship!
Although I don't know why, I felt a murderous intent from Mr. Xue, which oppressed me breathlessly. When Zhu Runze saw it, he even stopped it, Xue Renfeng, stop!
Sure enough, it was Xue Renfeng, the former head of the Huashan faction.
A thought flashed in my heart: Xu Kaishan and the Huashan faction have a holiday, and it seems that the festival is not small. It was I who used Xu Kaishan's knife technique that Xue Renfeng suddenly had a killing opportunity.
Zhang Youqian shouted, you are real!
Xue Renfeng's sword did not move, his body went first, and with a sense of penetrating the cold of the body, he instantly crossed more than ten zhang and came to me.
The space of the law above the general image.
I saw that Xu Kaishan had used it, and Feng Wanli had also used it, but I didn't expect that this famous gentleman's sword back then also had his own sword domain space.
I could barely breathe, my whole body was enveloped in sword energy, and I couldn't move. Sword qi poured into the body from all directions, and suddenly the three hundred points of the eight veins of the Qi Jing were frozen by the cold.
When my head was splitting, a picture flashed in my mind.
On the Qinhuai River that day, Xu Kaishan used a sword as a sword and used a swordsmanship. This picture flashed, and the Seven Nakshatras of the Southern Heavens in the Nakshatra Sea instantly brightened.
The seven stars are connected to form a picture of a red bird. The seven Nakshatras began to shake violently, like burning magma, and countless True Elements erupted from within the Sea of Stars.
I have a sword in my head.
I have a knife in my right hand.
I was extremely quiet in my heart, and at the moment when Xue Renfeng's sword was about to arrive, I used my sword as a sword, and used the sword that Xu Kaishan used against Feng Wanli that day.
Swords intersect, and they are separated with one touch.
Bang.
Xue Renfeng floated and retreated, but I was shocked and flew out. Under the shock of true qi, the stone doors of five or six surrounding cells were shattered. Here on weekdays, some Jiangyang thieves are imprisoned, and the death row prisoners who are waiting for the autumn decision see the door open, and they all gather at the door to observe.
There was a bold and crazy running out, Xue Renfeng pointed in the air, and a sword intent passed through the back of the big man, and he lost his breath on the spot. When the rest saw this, they went back to their cells as if nothing had happened.
I propped up the ground with a knife, got up and smiled, and Mr. Xue agreed.
Zhu Runze's expression was not good, and he said angrily, Manager Xue, in the past twenty years, you have been by my side, I have promised you the luck map of mountains and rivers, and let you cultivate the ninth level of the sword technique to ward off evil spirits, but have you ever treated you badly?
Xue Renfeng said, Your Majesty, the minister has something to do. After that, he put his ear on it, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Zhu Runze looked at me strangely and asked Xue Renfeng, is this serious?
Xue Renfeng said, it shouldn't be wrong.
Zhu Runze snorted and was silent, but he didn't know what to think. At this moment, listening to Lu and Xie, Li Gongzi was really fast, and it took less than two hours to ask three test questions!
