Chapter 45: Why Punish the People?
The sound of the Dengwen drum is extremely loud, almost all over the city of Nanjing, and it is not clear when Meng Youzhi heard the drum, so it was Lu Chuying who blurted out "someone knocked on the Dengwen drum", and she knew that it was the sound of the Dengwen drum. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe rapid and tight drum sound is like a sudden thunderstorm, accompanied by the rolling thunder beating on people's hearts, people can't help but think, maybe there is really a great grievance.
"Don't be distracted, that drum beats eight times a year, sometimes it's a big deal, sometimes it's a little thing. Lu Chuying waved his hand and told Meng Yue to pay attention to the seal stones under his hands.
Meng Yue put down the carving knife, she didn't understand very much, how could she dare to knock on the Dengwen drum for "some small things", isn't it that no matter how big the grievances are, but whenever you beat the Dengwen drum, you have to hit the 20 big boards first? Could it be that you don't need to hit the board at this time, otherwise who will knock on the Dengwen drum and the 20 big boards for a trivial matter.
Indeed, as Meng Yue thought, knocking on the drum and seeing the Son of Heaven suing the emperor regardless of the fact that it was only in the Qing Dynasty to hit the twenty boards first, and in the Song Dynasty, when someone at the foot of the Son of Heaven threw a pig, they dared to beat the drum, because there was no such thing as playing the board. The Ming Dynasty established by Taizu did not have the rules for beating the Dengwen drum and hitting the board, and some people had said that only the Dengwen Drum Courtyard was set up without a threshold, which would lead to some trivial things to come to the Dengwen Drum.
The traverser Taizu replied like this: "If there is no injustice and do not mention it, if the injustice is not white, it is the fault of me and the princes, how can I punish and add the people." ”
While Lu Chuying was coaxing the stove, Meng Yue took the time to look at the "Da Ming Law", flipped to the designated law, and then read the commentary, and then Meng Yue followed the commentary to turn over the "Taizu Benji". After reading "Taizu Benji", Meng Yue offered his knees to the world's self-improvement ability, and the author of "Three Jiao" did not write such details in the book at all!
When Meng Yue translated the "Taizu Benji", in the Daming Palace, the Son of Heaven and the cabinet had already asked about the case, the imperial historian had already given the emperor to the son of heaven, and the superintendent of the imperial history who was responsible for supervising the tribute test in the sixth year of Xuanqing was Wang Li and Yu Zemin.
"I seem to remember that Yu Zemin was released the year before last?"
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Yu Zemin now knows Pingyang Mansion. ”
"King Xuan entered the palace. ”
After Wang Li entered the hall to salute, Emperor Xuanqing asked: "Peng Dingyuan, a student from Guangshan County, how was it at that time, can you remember?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen remembered that at that time, Wei Chen Fang entered the Supervision Yuan and followed behind Yu Prefect, who was then the Inspector of Imperial History. The prefect of Yu once selected more than 40 people to teach Weichen how to identify and compare, and Peng Dingyuan, a student from Guangshan County, was among them. "Wang Li was not a supervisor of the imperial history at that time, but a jinshi who had just arrived at the Supervision Yuan and had not yet taken up his post.
When Wang Li replied in detail, Emperor Xuanqing and Zhu Gong confirmed that there was no difference, because the Dengwen Drum case was originally handled by the Inspectorate, Emperor Xuanqing and Zhu Gong sent the case to Yuan Sixiang in the Imperial History and Wang Li, who supervised the Imperial History. Regarding the matter of the horse in Shuning County, Emperor Xuanqing immediately spoke and ordered the Inspectorate to go to arrest and bring him to justice.
The lord of Shuning County is the first emperor's eighth son, King Xiang, because the current king of Tibet only leads the land of Tibet, and does not go to the subordinate country, it is more convenient to have the edict of Emperor Xuanqing. Yuan Sixiang took over the edict, Wang Li and he retired from the imperial front, Yuan Sixiang shook his head again and again, and said to Wang Li: "Chongya, this errand is not easy to do." ”
King Xiang has three sons and five daughters, and the most favored is the lord of Shuning, and the horse "Peng Dingyuan" of Shuning County is also a good son-in-law over the years. Now they are going to arrest the Shuning County Horse, the Lord of Shuning and the County Horse have been very affectionate for more than three years, how can the Lord of Shuning sit idly by.
"Yuan Zhongcheng, the more affectionate you are, the more you can't tolerate the slightest concealment, not to mention that it was a lie from the beginning. Wang Li and Yuan Sixiang talked all the way with King Xiang and the county lord of Shuning, and finally made a plan.
The lord of Shuning and the county horse have been married for more than three years, and have no children, one is now that most of the princes and princes of Xungui have children after the age of 20, and the lord of Shuning will only turn 20 this year, and then Princess Xiang almost died of dystocia that year, and King Xiang refused to love his daughter to give birth to an heir prematurely. However, the horses of Shuning County are twenty-six ...... Maybe it's even bigger, and some people often say that the face of Junma in Shuning County is old.
Yuan Sixiang said: "If he really has nothing outside, I have to respect him for being a good Langjun, in the capital, such a good Langjun, this official only recognizes Lu Kunlang, a doctor of arithmetic." ”
"This matter, the next official will go to investigate. ”
The Inspectorate supervises hundreds of officials, and naturally has a thorough net, otherwise what is the basis for supervising hundreds of officials. What Wang Li has to do is to collect the news one by one, and then find out the abnormalities from it, as Yuan Sixiang said, if he is really a good man, then it is really worthy of respect.
But in the capital, there are not a few Lu Kunlang, and Ma Guo of Shuning County cannot be counted as one of them.
"The avenue does not take the trail, the short road does not take the long road, the subordinates know that he has a cat, because he is not in the important position, not the important business, I think it should be a private matter, so I didn't check it carefully, it turned out to be a Jiao hidden here. ”
"Hurry up and report to Yuan Zhongcheng. ”
As soon as this news came out, the county lord of Shuning was angry, and when he wanted the county horse to die, the Inspectorate was ordered to arrest the fake Peng Dingyuan. When King Xiang heard about it, he was also furious, handed a note to the Inspectorate, and instructed Yuan Sixiang to investigate strictly.
When the county lord of Xiangwang Shuning was angry and wanted to protect Peng Dingyuan, the case had already come to light, and a big case was involved. There are thousands of mountain bandits in Fengshan, colluding with local officials to cause trouble in the township, because the mouth of the local officials is getting bigger and bigger, Fengshan mountain bandits gave birth to this plan, and found out from the bandits that two scholars who were persecuted in the early years and were avoided from Fengshan as bandits, and kidnapped Confucianism to teach for several years, before such a fake Peng Dingyuan came out.
"This hypothetical Peng Dingyuan's original name was Wu Yansheng, because people set a trap and seized the good land and shops in his home, his father was angry to death, and his mother also died. In fact, the Fengshan bandits made a plan to bring out a scholar as an official to cover the whole of Fengshan, which was first proposed by Wu Yansheng. ”
"Fengshan Mountain is a big bandit, Peng Dingyuan is dead, how did Peng Dingyuan's parents survive?"
Speaking of which, it has to be said that Wu Yansheng was scheming, he knew that sooner or later the bandits would be surrounded and suppressed by the government, so he obstructed each other between the officials and the bandits, so that the Fengshan bandits believed that the local officials' mouths were opening wider and wider, and then they said this plan in a timely manner. Peng Dingyuan's parents should have been killed a long time ago, but Wu Yansheng didn't know, he was scheming, and the bandit leader in Fengshan was not short-sighted, knowing that as soon as Peng Dingyuan's parents died, Wu Yansheng had no control at all, and secretly left Peng Dingyuan's parents behind. ”
"Call me stupid. ”
"How?"
"Of course, Peng Dingyuan will lose his life, and the Fengshan bandits can get good again, but now they are not going to be exterminated. ”
"Because of this, the Jinshi who have passed the recent examination will be examined again, hehe...... And many things that were choked to death will come forth again. ”
"It's like the former Hubu Shangshu who abandoned the chaff, married another wife, and then killed the original match, and was sued and imprisoned by the original gamete?"
Meng Yue, who was accompanying Master Meng upstairs to eat spring tea, listened to it with relish, and she didn't realize that the aftermath of this incident would hit her head.
