Chapter 699: Don't rule by heart
The place where Xia Xun was temporarily detained was outside the Bei'an Gate behind the palace, not far from a Xianglin Temple where the incense was not strong.
In a meditation room, Xia Xun was looking at a portrait of a Bodhisattva on the wall, the Zen door squeaked, and a messenger from the Metropolitan Procuratorate walked in with a food box, he bowed to Xia Xun, then walked to the table, opened the food box, and put a plate of dishes on the table lightly.
Xia Xun walked back, looked down, five or six dishes, green green, green green, couldn't help frowning and said, "Why are they all vegetarian?" β
The messenger said respectfully: "Grandpa Guo, here...... It is a temple, and it is not suitable for meat and food. β
Xia Xun snorted and said, "The temple can be used to imprison prisoners, can't you eat wine and meat?" β
The poor man said embarrassedly: "Grandpa Guo, this is not a prison. β
Xia Xun brushed his sleeves and said, "Then am I here to cultivate my self-cultivation?" β
"This ......"
"Change the dishes, and bring a pot of good wine!"
How dare the poor person contradict it, so he had to agree, picked up the food back to the food box, saluted Xia Xun, and left.
After a while, Xue Pin of Dali Temple hurried in, and when he saw Xia Xun, he was full of smiles, first gave Xia Xun a long look, and then said haha: "Guogong forgives sins, Guogong forgives sins, it is all the lower officials who are not thoughtful, worried that Guogong is a little angry, and the weather is hot, so I got you a few light meals, since Grandpa Guo likes to eat meat, change it immediately, change it immediately!" β
Xia Xun glanced at him with a smile and said, "Lord Xue, you are very polite to a criminal minister!" β
Xue Pin said with a smile: "Guogong said that he was joking, but there are some things that have not yet been investigated, how can Guogong have something to do with the White Lotus Sect?" During the Taizu years, the lower officials were on an errand in Dali Temple, and it was ...... at that time. But if there is an accusation, they are all arrested first and then investigated, as long as they are caught, they will go to the edict prison, and if they enter the edict prison, they will die if they are guilty, and they will have to peel off the skin if they are not guilty. The emperor placed you in such a quiet place, obviously even the emperor did not believe that the national union had colluded with the White Lotus Sect. β
Xia Xun smiled: "Lord Xue, be careful to look away!" β
Xue Pin smiled and said, "No, no." The lower officials are not deliberately befriending the national prince, the national prince has not been convicted for a day, it is still my Ming auxiliary national prince, and the lower official respects the national grandfather, that is all as it should be. β
The two of them talked for a while, and then the messenger came in again with the food box, and the food was placed on the table, steaming hot and fragrant.
Stir-fried mutton, two-cooked fried fresh fish, chicken soft soup, pepper and vinegar shrimp, goose meat, five-flavor steamed chicken, steamed pig's trotters, egg white fried yellow cabbage, eight dishes poured seven meat, another prepared sugar stuffed small steamed bun drawer, a bowl of fragrant rice, in addition to a pot of wine, reach out and touch the tin wine jug, the wine is still warm, exude a strong wine fragrance.
Xia Xun sniffed the aroma and said with a smile: "Good taste, these dishes are not made by the chef of Dali Temple, right?" β
The errand officer was honest and replied truthfully: "If you return to your grandfather, Lord Xue is worried that the meals made by the chef of Dali Temple are not in line with the taste of Grandpa Guo, and all the dishes are made by Fu Liu, the master of the 'Heming Tower'. Those few dishes just now were not in line with the grandfather of the country, and the villain hurried over and asked Liu Yishou to buy another one immediately! β
Xia Xun glanced at Xue Pin deeply when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Lord Xue's thoughts, Yang has thanked you!" β
Xue Pin heard this and hurriedly said: "Where is it, the lower officials are just moving their mouths, can they not do it?" β
Xia Xun sat down at the table and said to Xue Pin, "Lord Xue, do you want to eat some together?" β
Xue Pin hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Xiaguan has already eaten, thank you for the kindness of Grandpa Guo, please use it slowly, there is still something on the case of Xiaguan, farewell, farewell!" β
Although Xue Pin bets on Xia Xun, there is no need to take such a big risk, now accompany him to drink wine and eat meat, in case his crime is really implemented, it will always be not good for him.
Xue Pin withdrew with the messenger, the door was closed again, Xia Xun took a handful of vegetables, tasted a sip of wine, frowned slightly, don't look at him calmly here, and put on a score, in fact, it is just to show his innocence, Ji Gang and Chen Ying, two people with sores on the top of their heads, pus on the soles of their feet, and bad all over their bodies, get together, what can they do, he is really not sure.
This kind of worry is not unfounded, although he is confident that the compensation is still timely, but whether it is really flawless, he is not completely sure.
Did Ji Gang wronged him this time?
No!
He does have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, and even different from what most people think: "If the Peng family really has a close relationship with the White Lotus Sect, it must have been hidden from the Duke of Fuguo", he clearly knows the details of the Peng family. It's just that he is a person of later generations, and he has a more objective understanding of the so-called White Lotus Demon Bandits, and he is not very resistant. Coupled with the knife technique that he was seen through by Monk Peng back then, it was equivalent to asking others to also hold his handle, coupled with his affection for Ziqi, and so on, he concealed it.
But with whom can he speak these reasons? Who knows about his painstaking efforts to guide the Peng family to goodness and promote the Peng family to break away from the White Lotus Sect?
The fact is that the Peng family is not only the White Lotus Sect, but he knows it well, but he conceals it.
Bullying the monarch, and it is a bully against the White Lotus Sect bandits who have been unswervingly attacking the Ming Dynasty since the beginning of the founding of the country, once this matter is verified to be true by the Yongle Emperor who reused and promoted him, what will happen?
That's the emperor, not his Xia Xun's iron buddy. Even if Zhu Di is an iron buddy who has a lifelong friendship with him, will he still have a relationship with his brother when he learns that he is harboring and hiding the big enemy who is trying to seize his family's property?
The White Lotus Sect, a plague-like existence, he couldn't tell anyone this secret, even Ye An and Chen Dong, who acted on Liu Yujue's orders, only knew what it was, but didn't know why. This secret, he can't share with anyone, he can't rely on anyone's help, the only thing he can mobilize is the "hidden dragon" that is now completely in his hands!
"Hidden Dragon!"
It has been more than six years since it was established.
Six cold summers, have you already become a product?
My Xia Xun's net worth and life are now in your hands, don't let me down......
As soon as Xia Xun raised his head, another glass of hot wine went down to his stomach, and his belly was like a fire!

"Good, good, very well handled."
Zhu Di closed a file and said to Xie Jin: "It's handled very well, I have your help, like a fish in water." Hehe, the world can't be free for a day, and I can't be without you for a day! β
Xie Jin bowed and said, "Your Majesty has won the award." Your Majesty......"
"Huh? Anything else? β
"Uh......, Your Majesty, about the Auxiliary Duke Yang Xu......"
Zhu Di's face sank, and he was displeased: "What's the matter, is your cabinet chief assistant already the difference between the three law divisions?" β
Xie Jin hurriedly bowed and said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is afraid, the minister is ......"
Zhu Di snorted heavily, interrupting his words, but about to reprimand him for a few words of being cautious, Mu En came up at the door: "Your Majesty, Niangniang's head is sick again!" β
"What?" When Zhu Di heard this, he hurriedly stood up.
Mu En dared to interject when Zhu Di just opened his mouth, this was Zhu Di's personal order, recently Queen Xu's head attacks have become more and more frequent, and the condition is getting more and more serious, Zhu Di is very worried, and once personally told Mu En, no matter what he is doing, if the queen has any discomfort, report it immediately.
Xie Jin originally wanted to speak for Xia Xun, but he didn't want the emperor's backlash to be so fierce, even he couldn't avoid a reprimand, but because of the queen, the siege was lifted, and when he saw that Zhu Di had left in a hurry, Xie Jin had no choice but to sigh and return to Wenyuan Pavilion in a daze.
Xie Jin hurried to Kunning Palace, and saw the imperial doctor Wen Di coming out of it, Wen Di bowed sideways, Zhu Di hurriedly asked about the situation, and learned that the queen's head attack was not serious today, and she had improved after applying the needle and medicine, so she was relieved. He waved his hand to tell Wen Di to leave, and then walked lightly into the dormitory.
In the palace, there were palace maids standing in the palace, and when they saw that the emperor was just about to give a salute, Zhu Di had hurriedly made a silent movement, waved his hand and told them to go down, and the palace maids and eunuchs gave a silent salute and quietly retreated.
Before Empress Xu fell asleep, the palace maid's movements attracted her attention, and when she turned her head to see that it was the emperor, Empress Xu immediately turned around angrily. Zhu Di knew that she was still vomiting with herself for her brother-in-law's business, so she couldn't help sighing, walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Your body is not very good, don't worry about other things, so as not to make your condition more serious." β
Xu Hou said faintly: "When it hurts, it hurts to death, the eldest brother is imprisoned, the third brother dies tragically, the fourth brother dies early, this little sister has to be widowed again, how can I bear to watch it as the eldest sister?" β
Zhu Di laughed and said helplessly: "Look, you see, I didn't say that I wanted to kill him, what kind of widow did you guard?" β
Empress Xu turned around and asked, "If you don't kill him, why don't you ask him if he was wronged, so you have someone arrest him?" β
Zhu Di smiled bitterly: "You women, always emotional. Just ask who in the world has committed such a great sin, and you ask him what he is willing to admit? If you don't ask the company to investigate, I will come to ask the case in person? β
Xu Hou said angrily: "But what the sister said is reasonable, no matter what aspect it is, how can Yang Xu have anything to do with the White Lotus Sect?" β
Zhu Di asked rhetorically: "So, no matter what aspect you say, what reason do you have for me, the emperor, to receive a report from Jinyiwei and not to investigate him?" β
"This ......"
Xu Hou couldn't help but be speechless.
Zhu Di sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't want to say these things to you, this is a state matter, not a family matter, the queen, you are already doing politics." But I really can't bear to let you be depressed because of this, and the patient is more serious, so I'll just tell you what is on my mind, just this once, not an example! β
Zhu Di was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Honesty is meritorious, although it is cheap, it will be rewarded; Sincerity has been, although close love must be punished; If you do righteous deeds for the king, the lord will be authoritative, and if you are merciful and obedient, the law will be destroyed. An emperor, neglecting the law and magic, and ruling idealistically, giving up the rules, just because he is a high emperor, he will act recklessly, and act according to his own likes and dislikes, even if he is an ancient sage like Yao Shun, he can't govern a country well, queen, I am the emperor!
Moreover, I Daming Jinyiwei is in charge of investigating hundreds of officials, and no one in the world cannot be checked, how can anyone be an exception? Now, Jin Yiwei sued Yang Xu for the crime of rebellion, can I not let people investigate? If there is indeed a problem, it will naturally be dealt with. If there is no matter, it must be found out, not vetoed by my trust!
Jin Yiwei put it forward, and took out the witness, but I didn't say a word, then Jin Yiwei is a false accusation, and I have to be sanctioned. From now on, do these ears and minions know who can and can't check? Is it true that if anyone is favored by me, they can ignore it? So what's the use of me asking for them?
If I want to rule the world, I can't go out by myself, I need eyes and ears, I need eagles and dogs, if because I trust a person, I replace him with the role of everyone else, let him be my ears, eyes, mouth, nose, limbs, then what is the difference between me and a puppet? Listening to both is clear, partiality is dark, strength is invincible, wisdom is inexhaustible, rather than using one person, it is better to use a country. I am in the deep palace, if I want to shine on the four seas, the world can be deceived, how can I believe in one person?
Also, the big case of rebellion, the Jinyi Guardian newspaper came up, and I didn't even investigate it, what would the civil and military officials think? Once it is confirmed that I have something to do with the White Lotus Sect, how can I explain it to the people of the world? Is it really a good thing for Yang Xu to be partial to Yang Xu to this extent? If that is the case, after this incident, the sycophants of the DPRK and China will do their best to welcome him and form friends in order to seek help, and there will also be people who are jealous and hateful and wait for an opportunity to deal with him. What's wrong with me knocking and knocking him?
It is normal for people to give utilitarian benefits to others with their own likes and dislikes, but as a monarch, they must be controlled, and they cannot be all based on their own nature. The ancients said: 'The troubles of ten thousand times are too heavy, and the troubles of thousands of times are too heavy, and the troubles of thousands of times are too trusty, and this is the great trouble of the masters. If he is open-minded and not guilty, what can he do if he investigates? β
When Empress Xu heard this, she thought about it, and felt that what her husband said also had his hardships and truths, and then thought about it again, Yang Xu had a clear conscience, so why should he be afraid of people to investigate? Anyway, before the fact, no one dared to wronged him, and he didn't want to embarrass his husband too much for a while. She sighed silently in her heart, and secretly thought, "It's still ...... Let's persuade the girl. β
At this time, Yin Zhongyue had already rushed to Putai County day and night, and happened to bump into the troupe that had just rushed back, Yin Zhongyue immediately detained the troupe owner, the old woman, Tang Sai'er and others. At the same time, the Shandong Inspectorate also received a secret letter from Chen Ying of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and suddenly sent a brigade to inspect and arrest the fast, and gathered nearly 1,000 people from Qingzhou Zuojinzhou County to attack Pengjiazhuang in Qingzhou, arrest all the main figures of Pengjiazhuang and quickly send them to Beijing.
Jin Yiwei didn't dare to tamper with Pengjiazhuang before, Chen Ying is not afraid of this, he received the holy decree and publicly investigated the case, even Yang Xu, the auxiliary prince, has been restricted by him, what other suspects and witnesses are he afraid to detain?
A high-profile lawsuit is about to be staged in Nanjing!
