Yang Chong was stunned for a moment, and then he endured his anger and said: "Adult" The student said that Yang Xu, as a student, was educated by a saint, but he violated filial piety, "has good family affection, does not know how to respect the elders and children, destroys the famous teachings of Gangchang, and is not worthy of being a saint's protégé, in order to maintain Gangchang and warn the public, his reputation should be reduced!" ”

Scholars regard fame as a second life, Yang Chong goes out of the sect one by one, digs people's ancestral graves, and takes away the fame of others, it can really be described as extremely vicious, Xia Xun's fame is easy to obtain, and he also knows that it is impossible to continue to have any development in the imperial examination, and he has no research on the subset of ancient scriptures and histories "He can memorize a few poems, but none of the people who have been officials in history have climbed up by composing poems" Doing poetry can be famous, but in the end it depends on making articles, true learning. He never thought about entering the imperial examination at all. If he didn't take the imperial examination, although his fame was good, it was limited, and he didn't care, so he listened to Yang Chong's vicious words, "His demeanor is calm, and he has no anger."

Wu Bushu listened to Yang Chong's words, rolled his eyes and said, "Cut his fame? That's not under the control of the general, "You should go to Yingtianfu or the Ministry of Rites." ”

Yang inflated and rushed up, and couldn't help but say, "My lord! Yang Xu is a military member, and he has just transferred the case from Ying Tianfu to the adult's case. "That's right! ”

Wu Buzhi's eyes lit up: "Yang Xu is a soldier, but he is a student, and some of the men in our army have actually won the examination and become scholars." ”

Wu Bushu became excited, glanced at Yang Xu with honor, and said with a pleasant face: "Yang Xu" Yang Chong said, "You have heard it, what do you have to explain?" ”

Xia Xun said calmly: "Lord Hui, what Yang Chong accused is just his words. There is a reason why Yang Xu had a bad relationship with his clansmen and was even expelled from the sect, not because Yang Xu was rude. ”

Xia Xun told him all the things since he returned to Moling Town from Qingzhou, and said: "Therefore, Yang Xu has a dislike with his clan. Originally, limited by his own identity, Yang Xu wanted to settle the matter, but who knew that soon after, the clansmen abandoned the proposal to repair the ancestral temple and build Yitian, and more than 100 households in Moling Town wanted Yang Xu to bear most of the money needed. It's unreasonable to be reasonable. This is obviously the clansman's intention to make things difficult, and since then, "Yang Xu was expelled from the sect" The coffin of his parents was forcibly moved out of the ancestral grave without notifying him, isn't this too much deception? Now he still bites back. "Where is the reason? Where is the royal law? ”

Yang Chong hurriedly said: "My lord, expelling Yang Xu from the sect is a decision made by the father and husband of the whole clan. As for the forced removal of his parents' coffins from the ancestral grave, "it was not instructed by the student's grandfather", but the actions of the clan fathers hated Yang Xu and spontaneously gathered. ”

Xu Zengshou listened quietly and couldn't help but say, "Even if the clansmen act spontaneously, they are always unkind and unreasonable. As the head of the family, although his grandfather did not know it, "it is difficult to escape the blame." Yang Xu's "although it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of disharmony with relatives" from both of you, the reason is not only on Yang Xu's side. A slap doesn't make a sound, have you fulfilled your responsibilities as an elder and a relative in what you Yang clan have done? Now that Yang Xu has been expelled from the sect by you, and his parents' coffins have also been forcibly moved out, even if it is not "this is enough" in a thousand ways, if you want to take away people's fame, how vicious is the intention? Wu Bushu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "What Governor Xu said is reasonable, Yang Chong, did you hear it?" ”

"Governor Xu?"

Yang Chong's eyes flashed, and he suddenly reacted, Governor Xu, isn't he the third young master of Zhongshan Palace?

Although Yang Chong was a little afraid, he was ready to shoot at this time. Besides, the family of meritorious heroes "every more domineering person, but the tutor of Zhongshan Wangfu is very good, and the children are rarely bullied, anyway, they will take the imperial examination in the future, and they don't need to touch the light of Xu Guogong.

So Yang Chong immediately said in a loud voice: "Governor Xu? But the little grandfather of the Zhongshan Palace? As far as the students know, "the Metropolitan Governor and Yang Xu have a very good relationship, the last time because of Yang Xu's angry killing of the cultivated cattle, my Yang clan once sued Yang Xu, and it was the Metropolitan Governor who protected Yang Xu from Zhonghanxuan."

This big case of killing cattle is not over, this time it is just an interrogation of a small student, and it is necessary for the officials of the metropolitan governor to come forward to hear the trial? Doesn't the Metropolitan Governor suspect that this move is blatantly cover-up? Xu Zengshou said angrily: "How can this be justified, the case of killing and cultivating cattle" should be tried by Tianfu, and this case has now been included in the appendix of the Da Ming Law "Edict to the world." What does it have to do with Pontus? Yang Chong grew bolder" sneered and sneered: "If it weren't for the Metropolitan Governor coming forward, should Tianfu dare to risk the world's greatness and judge him innocent?" ”

"You, you," Xu Zengshou blew his beard and glared, but for a student who was cheering for the future emperor and many students of the Yuanmen Foreign Prison standing behind him, he really couldn't beat people because he made a contradiction.

"Third brother!" , A very crisp girl's voice suddenly sounded, the voice was not loud, very crisp and sweet, just because Xu Zengshou was angry, the whole hall was holding his breath, this slight call was heard, but this light call only sounded once, and then it was silent, the people who heard the sound subconsciously looked around, this hall was full of men in the army, as well as the original defendants, and then there were two Ying Tianfu officials, how could there be any girls, for a while, I couldn't help but think that I heard it wrong.

Xu Zengshou leaned back against the screen of the tiger descending the mountain, and heard a very light girl voice behind him: "Third brother is so stupid, you asked about the case in the court, but you were asked by others." ”

Xu Zengshou's face flushed and coughed embarrassedly.

Behind the screen, "It is Xu Ming'er, the little lady of the Xu family." She just came back from Beiping, in the Xu family, in her brothers and sisters, the three sisters have already married, the eldest brother is the prince, and the son of the Xu family, since childhood, serious and solemn temperament, not easy to get close, the second brother was early in childhood, she has only heard of such a second brother, never seen at all, the fourth brother also inherited his father's shadow as an official, and now he is put in the foreign office "not often in Beijing", so she and the third brother Xu Zengshou are the closest. went out for a run, ran out of the little girl's wildness, and stayed at home bored" so he ran to the third brother's yamen to play, and happened to bump into this lawsuit.

As soon as she heard that it was Yang Xu's case, Ming'er's interest came, "I have to pester her third brother to hear the trial, Xu Zengshou loves this little girl the most, and he can't stand her begging, so he has to arrange her behind the screen, Xu Ming'er squatted behind, and when she heard the old Yang family bullying people like this, she was so angry that she was even more displeased.

"Third brother, our Ming law stipulates that it is strictly forbidden to forgive the previous sin" It is forbidden to tell each other about the past by forgiving the previous sin. This Yang Chong violated the law, beat him on the board, and called him nonsense. ”

"Huh?" Xu Zengshou's eyes purred, covered his mouth with his hands, and whispered, "Really? Say? "Of course", Xu Ming'er said a few words quickly behind the screen, and then said: "The emperor has clearly ordered the world: except for the unforgivable "ten heinous" major crimes", a sentence "no matter the severity of the matter" shall not be told in the future" otherwise the crime will be punished. Especially in this case, but the emperor personally reviewed and revised the Da Ming law, "He broke the law, and he offended the Son of Heaven and beat him!" Spank him! ”

The emperor that Ming'er said is Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are sons and daughters, and Xu Da's three daughters are married to Zhu Yuanzhang's three sons. The Xu family has a close relationship with the royal family, and Ming'er often goes to the palace to walk around, she has been cute since she was a child, and Zhu Yuanzhang often holds her on her lap to "make her happy" Since she was a child, she called Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor, and did not call the emperor.

And in the Daming Law, there is indeed such a clause, that is, if you are not satisfied with the case that has been adjudicated, you can sue again, but the case that you are strictly forbidden to say goodbye to is moved out and entangled in the case that has been judged before. If it is a case of amnesty by the imperial court, it will also be handled in accordance with this, and the judgment is the judgment, and you will never be allowed to move out these old sesame seeds and rotten grains when you sue other cases, and the theory will be entangled.

Zhu Yuanzhang actually believes in the rule of law in his bones, and at the same time, he also attaches great importance to etiquette and education. In order to prevent some people from having a low level of education and not being able to understand the laws of the country, he attached many "true" cases to the back of the "Great Message", and wrote the verdict and why it was so judged in great detail.

He loves the people very much, "pays attention to the people's livelihood, and at the same time also pays attention to the authority of the law" to govern the country, it is not good to lean too much towards one side, we must pay attention to its balanced development, and it is out of the consideration of maintaining the authority and dignity of the law, he made such a provision. In fact, similar regulations are also in Tang Lufeng, Zhu Yuanzhang is just borrowing and absorbing, removing the chaff and preserving the essence.

Yang Chong saw that Xu Zengshou was silent, and when he accused him, Xu Zengshou was a little weak-hearted, so he sneered slightly: "Metropolitan Governor, for the sake of the Zhongshan Royal Mansion and the reputation of the Metropolitan Governor, this Yang Xu has an old relationship with the Metropolitan Governor, should the Metropolitan Governor avoid suspicion?" Xu Zengshou laughed heartily: "Hahaha...... "Yang Chong, the emperor today issued the "Great Message", which is well-intentioned.

This "Great Message" is a book for all the people in the world, one for each family, and places like county school, government school, and Taixue, and my Ming law is listed as a must-read article. It's a pity that you, the disciples of the saints, "only know the four books and the five classics, and what will help you to be an official in the scientific examination, you will look at it" but you treat me as nothing. ”

When Xu Zengshou said this, his face sank, he stretched out his hand to grab the "Shocked Tiger Courage", slapped it heavily on the case, and shouted: "Today, the emperor has clearly ordered the world: except for the unforgivable "Ten Evils" and major crimes, once the verdict is made, no matter how serious it is, you must not tell each other about the past in the future, otherwise you will be punished, don't you know?" Come on, spank him! Belch...... Pull him down and "hit twenty boards!" "What? Yang Chong was shocked and angry, "To be honest, although he has dabbled in "Da Ming Law", he really hasn't read it through, and he really doesn't know that there is such a rule. The two wolf-like military academies had already seen that this guy was not pleasing to the eye, they pounced viciously, like carrying a chicken, and left after mentioning him, Yang Chong really panicked: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, I am the plaintiff, I am the plaintiff......

As soon as Yang Chong was dragged out, a bright and bright-eyed, beautiful little girl ran out from behind the screen, wearing a small green onion and white oblique silk jacket with rolling silver edges, a colored boot skirt, and a fine white porcelain fruit plate in her hand, on which was a plate of "March Red" fresh lychees, and smiled sweetly: "Hey! Big liar, do you eat lychee or not? ”！ ~！
