One case, two lives, each with his own thoughts.

In the end, the first assistant of the cabinet went into the field, and the chief of the general staff was dismissed.

Everyone in the world thinks that the emperor is old and unconscious, what kind of heinous case is this? Is it a case that needs to be so aggressive and even at the expense of shaking the country's foundation?

The Third Five-Year Plan is still being implemented, and there are wars in the northwest and southwest, and at this juncture, Yang Shiqi and Zhu Di were kicked out of the central government, just to export evil anger to the people?

This is not how the people are like sons and the people are avenged.

This is not governing the country, this is a play on the opera stage.

No one could read Zhu Yunwen's heart, only a few cabinet ministers who were in the palace at that time.

There are a lot of political signals released in this case, and it is by no means just as simple as the case itself, Zhu Gaosui hit and killed a passerby while drunk.

The case is only an introduction, which leads to a reflection on whether the way the emperor, the cabinet, and the old and new bureaucracy have changed the way the whole country is exercising and ruling needs to be changed.

Yang Shiqi moved out of his cabinet first assistant compound, the home where he had lived for 14 years, and embarked on the return journey back to his hometown in Jiangxi, and before leaving, Yang Shiqi waited until Xu Buji as he wished, and chatted with the latter for several hours.

Under the huge banyan tree in his house, the big tree that has been accompanying Yang Shiqi in politics and the sea of ups and downs in the spring and autumn to experience the vicissitudes of the country.

In order to understand why Zhu Yunwen did this, you first need to review the people involved in the entire case.

Zhu Gaosui's murder is a case that is almost trivial to the whole country, and it is not the main reason for this political turmoil at all, so Zhu Gaosui's introduction has the lowest sense of existence, and there is nothing worth mentioning.

Then the second character to appear, and the first person responsible for this case, Ying Tianfu Yin Wang Yusen.

In the whole case, Wang Yusen's performance was not worth adding points, and there were no minus points.

When he learned of the case as soon as he learned about it, Yang Shiqi, Xu Buji, Zhu Di, and Xu Huizu all arrived, and these four people were present together, which is equivalent to all politically influential groups in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is no longer up to Wang Yusen to decide what to do next.

It's like the case of Bao Zhengquan's concubine, let's assume that he is true, then what the people see will always be the final result, that is, Chen Shimei's blood is sprinkled with the dog's head, justice is served, and the bad guys are punished.

The thing behind that body is that the Song Dynasty scholar class represented by Bao Zheng competed and interacted with the imperial power of the Zhao dynasty, and no one knew what tacit agreement the Zhao family reached with the scholar class, and what was finally handed over to Bao Zheng was to execute Chen Shimei.

Therefore, Bao Zheng is only an executor, not a decision-maker.

With the same nature, Wang Yusen also clearly knows his position and weight, and he does not have any qualifications to meddle in the direction of this case again, so when Zhu Di asked him if it was okay, Wang Yusen should have come up with an idea, but he did not rush to complete the case quickly, but said 'drag it out for three or five months'.

If it drags on for three or five months, no fool will believe that the emperor does not know.

So the ball was kicked to the emperor, and Wang Yusen also reminded him, 'You can do it, but the premise is that the emperor doesn't know.' ’

has clearly told Zhu Di that this case will eventually go to the front of the emperor, so if you find me a way to find a way, it will have no effect, maybe the emperor is in vain.

In the face of this kind of case, which is bound to cause great influence, Wang Yusen, as an official, has shown an unclear political stance, and he is only willing to make promises and be modest.

not only helped Zhu Di come up with an idea, but also said that he had no ability to finalize the case, and he would have to wait for you to get the emperor.

If you can get the emperor, what else do you want you to do as the chief judge?

Wang Yusen's performance is in stark contrast to Yang Shiqi, Zhu Di, Xu Buji and others.

Because all three of them expressed their inner thoughts and supported views on the spot, only Wang Yusen chose the mean.

This is also why Yang Shiqi said Wang Yusen before leaving.

"You and Xu Buji are out of Changshu together, but you are far worse than him"

And in the end, Yang Shiqi sighed that he was going to retreat, and the Wenhua Hall belonged to Xu Buji, and it was a vague premonition that the result was felt, so Wang Yusen was of course annoyed in his heart, he had the opportunity to do Bao Zheng but didn't do it, and he should have supported Xu Buji, who was the same as him.

So how did Zhu Yunwen know that Xu Buji made trouble in Yingtianfu, is it clear who told the secret?

Next, let's analyze the performance of Yang Shiqi and Xu Buji.

The two held diametrically opposed views and opinions on the case, and Yang Shiqi advocated that Zhu Gaosui was guilty rather than a serious crime, and that he could be pardoned as appropriate.

Xu Buji advocated that he should be severely punished.

Which of these two people is the judge of Dali Temple? Which one is the competent officer who is engaged in the field of law?

One of the two is the head of the cabinet and the other is a scholar and a scholar.

Both of them are one of the top leaders of this country and even the entire Ming Alliance, and there is no need to analyze whether the legal level is severe and forgive, they just use this kind of proposition to show their political position to the emperor.

Yang Shiqi's political stance is still based on stability, believing that when a matter involves the national level, it should be wide if it can be wide, and if it can be passed, it must not be made in a big way, and it will affect melons.

And Xu Buji's political stance is radical, insisting on being ruthless to the end, and doing things absolutely well.

The Ming Dynasty is experiencing great changes in China that have not been seen in thousands of years, and in the context of this turbulent era, in the process of advancing this unprecedented magnificent dynasty, it is necessary to seek new changes to the old way of exercising rule.

One of the two advocates that 'if the water is clear, there will be no fish', and the other advocates that 'the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people'.

Yang Shiqi criticized Xu Buji, 'If a person is observed, there will be no disciples', and vaguely proposed that if Zhu Gaosui is brought to justice, what if Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Wenqi and other emperors' biological sons commit crimes in the future, can you still force the emperor to kill?

And Xu Buji replied, 'If the imperial power does not leave the palace, what face does the queen mother want?' ’

has already answered Yang Shiqi's question positively, the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty was killed by the emperor.

The emperor has already made a choice between family affection and the country, so he is not afraid.

The two men have their own political opinions, but they are expressed in the way of different supporting views on the case.

It seems that the emperor chooses to support the different views of the two parties, but in fact, it is for the emperor to choose the next cabinet chief assistant and determine the future direction of the Ming dynasty.

If the emperor supports Yang Shiqi, then Xu Buji will lose the emperor's favor, and he likes Xu Buji, who has offended so many colleagues on the platform, but if he is smart, he will be sick in a few days.

In the same way, if Zhu Yunwen supports Xu Buji, then Yang Shiqi's point of view is a kind of connivance and protection of crime, and it is logical that he will be deposed.

At this time, the details appeared, and both of them expressed their opinions and handed over the multiple-choice questions to Zhu Yunwen, who was entangled and sighed twice.

In the end, he chose to squat in the middle of Zhu Di and Yang Shiqi, note that it was the middle between Zhu Di and Yang Shiqi instead of the middle between Yang Shiqi and Xu Buji.

I asked.

"Fourth uncle, Elder Yang Ge said that you have obtained the victim's forgiveness, did you bring the letter of understanding?"

Didn't the emperor know about Zhu Di's activities overnight?

Of course he knew, but the emperor still asked.

That's a step.

Zhu Di only needs to follow the words, then the emperor's question has received positive feedback and a positive response, and the emperor can also get off the donkey.

"Now that the understanding has been obtained, it shows that what Yang Ge Lao said is reasonable, King Yan has been convicted and repentant, and actively coordinated all parties to treat the injured, plus the understanding of the families of the dead and injured, summon Gao Su, the secretary of Dali Temple, to see if there are legal conditions for forgiveness and mercy."

When a county king committed a crime, the prince and the prince kept coming to apologize, and the huge compensation plus the county king who committed the crime was sentenced to life in prison.

The result of this punishment spread all over the world, and the common people should not boast that the emperor loves the people like a son?

This is already a justice that has never been thought of even thinking about.

At this point in the case, Yang Shiqi is already on the verge of victory, and Xu Buji is naturally on the verge of failure.

After all, the emperor is a middle-aged man who is almost forty years old, and his mentality has changed dramatically as he gets old.

began to take care of family affection, and did things no longer as ruthless as young.

In some matters, where concessions were made, the emperor chose to make concessions.

Zhu Di has followed Zhu Yunwen for more than ten years, and he can personally feel the changes in the emperor's mentality and personality.

This emperor, who has done his best for the country and carried the Ming Dynasty step by step to today, is also a mortal in the flesh after all, not a god.

It is the emperor's dream to govern the country in an all-round way according to the law and protect the country in a disciplined manner, but now the emperor has hesitated and shaken his dream.

So, Zhu Di made a choice.

Give up your son's life and give up yourself to fulfill all the emperor's love for this country.

also told Zhu Yunwen in this way that not only the emperor can give everything if he loves this country, but he Zhu Di can also give everything for the Ming Dynasty, even if it is his own son.

So Yang Shiqi was dumbfounded.

Yang Shiqi is just an official of the Ming Dynasty, and he still has the old idea of the bureaucratic and scholar class in his thoughts, that is, the country is only the emperor's country, they are all courtiers, and they just eat and worry about the king's affairs, and the rest has nothing to do with them.

But Zhu Di's choice is also to tell Zhu Yunwen that once you go on some roads, you can't turn back.

To be an emperor, you must be a loner!

Zhu Di gave up Zhu Gaosui's life, and at the same time gave up the opportunity to continue to accompany Zhu Yunwen to go on, in the future, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is destined to be more and more lonely.

So Zhu Yunwen was very disappointed and left slowly with staggering steps.

The dust of this case settled, Yang Shiqi was dismissed because of wrong political ideas, Zhu Di's voluntary resignation was allowed by Zhu Yunwen, and Xu Buji got his wish to reach the peak of the political mountain of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, there is one more crucial detail.

Zhu Yunwen dismissed Zhu Di from his two posts of scholar of Wuyingdian University and chief of the General Staff, and Zhu Di would definitely step down after one to two years.

That is, just a year or two sooner or later.

And Zhu Dizong's mansion Zongzheng and the princes of King Yan of Daming did not touch anything.

And these two titles are not the duties of the state, but the duties of the family.

The emperor dismissed everything Zhu Di had in Daming, but kept everything Zhu Di had in Zhu's family.

is to tell Zhu Di that you are my fourth uncle and my relative.

Only then did Zhu Di cry out loud, he cried not because the emperor forgave him, but because he felt sorry for Zhu Yunwen's loneliness at that moment.

Let's look at the words of Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji can shout that the country's affairs are very huge, and he can't be dissuaded like this, and Zhu Gaochi, as Zhu Gaosui's own brother, should not be stopped.

What Zhu Gaochi should have said was, 'It's okay for the minister to discipline his younger brother, please ask Your Majesty to forgive him.' Instead of speaking out to obstruct them, with the intention of protecting their own relatives.

Especially when his father has been dismissed.

The tacit understanding between Zhu Gaochi and Xia Yuanji is to hope that Zhu Yunwen will take back his life, and not let himself end up as a loner.

At this point, Zhu Gaochi has told Zhu Di many times that he feels sorry for Zhu Yunwen all the way in the past ten years.

And in the end, after Zhu Yunwen paused, he chose to take that firm step.

Cut off the noise of distraction, and crush all indecision.

has promised the country, and it is difficult to promise the family.

There are some roads that you can't turn back on.

These things are no longer important, Yang Shiqi and Xu Buji finally completed the replacement of the old and new regimes.

The two solemnly shook hands under the big banyan tree.

"Fourteen years with a flick of a finger, how many clouds and clouds are dyed yellow."

Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly: "I haven't returned to my hometown in Jiangxi for the New Year for 14 years, and now I have fulfilled my hopes, and I am still a little timid." ”

Holding Yang Shiqi's hand, Xu Buji patted the back of Yang Shiqi's hand with his left hand and said solemnly.

"Ge Lao, take care!"

Yang Shiqi left.

An era is over, and a new one has begun.
