Aoki farted and waited in anxiety for more than 20 days, and the case of Xia Wanjun was finally put on trial!

The venue of the trial was at the Yingtianfu Mansion, and this time it was a public trial, and the people were allowed to watch.

Shanghai Xia Wanchun, this name, has recently become the hottest topic, many people are curious, and some are concerned about the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, how the imperial court will deal with the people who don't know what to do.

The attitude of the people of the Ming Dynasty towards the Wa Kingdom is a hate from the bottom of their hearts, and it is not weaker than that of later generations.

This disgust is not only the invasion of the southeast coast by the Japanese during the Jiajing Dynasty, but can be traced back to the Hongwu Dynasty, the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

In the first year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty (1368), the Japanese of small Japan attacked Pengzhou on a large scale, resulting in the displacement of the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty and their unspeakable suffering.

The reason for the Japanese was that they had twice attacked Japan in retaliation for the Yuan Dynasty, but in fact, they were to loot wealth.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent an envoy to Japan to tell the Japanese that Lao Tzu had destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, don't make trouble, and honestly pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty!

However, the Ming mission was killed by the Japanese in the middle of the way!

was so rampant that Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, so Lao Zhu sent a delegation headed by Yang Zai to Japan for the second time, and issued an edict, the content of which was probably to manage your people, and the ruler of Japan immediately came to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty!

This time the situation is still very bad, Japan's Prince Huailiang read the Ming edict, very disdainful, without saying a word, killed five people in the Ming mission, and also imprisoned the envoy Yang Zai for three months and released him back to the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu was very angry, but because the Ming Dynasty still wanted to destroy the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at that time, he had no time to send troops to Japan, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

After the Ming Dynasty pacified the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Japanese still committed crimes, and Zhu Yuanzhang revised the book to Japan for the third time, warning them that it would only take five days for Huaxia to send a fleet to Japan, and they should not toast and eat and drink!

In the face of Lao Zhu's warning, the dead pig of Prince Huailiang of Japan was not afraid of boiling water, and replied to Lao Zhu, the content was full of disdain for Daming, and he also took the initiative to make an appointment with Lao Zhu, and the location was picked, just in Helan Mountain in Daming!

Original words: "Gather in front of Helan Mountain and talk about play, why are you afraid?" ”

What kind of temper does Lao Zhu have? Completely enraged, he ordered the eastern coast to overhaul the sea ships, preparing to conquer Japan, and let the surname of Little Japan become Zhao Qian Sun Li!

However, the civil ministers and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty all stood up against it, saying that you can bite back if you are bitten by a dog? A broken island in Japan where birds don't, four or six don't understand, what do you do when you work hard to beat it down?

What's more, when the Mengyuan attacked Japan, the soldiers were lost, the Ming Dynasty was established, and the Mongols wanted to clean up and beat, so don't take risks!

In the end, in the midst of opposition, Lao Zhu could only dispel the idea of conquering Japan.

Lao Zhu was aggrieved, and the subjects of the Ming Dynasty were also aggrieved, and every time they talked about it, everyone was angry from the bottom of their hearts.

Although in the later Yongle Dynasty, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di sent Zheng He to Japan to deter the Japanese, and Japan paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, but later it has been dishonest.

In the rebellion of the Jiajing Dynasty, Qi Jiguang resisted the Japanese; In the Korean War of the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming army aided the Korean resistance against Japan.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the Mongols and Jurchens, Japan was the most tossed and despised by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

In today's Xia Wanchun case, there were many Japanese people at the scene, led by Hikawa Ganghan's younger brother, Hikawa Kisaka.

At this time, Japan was under a sea ban, and those who could go abroad to do business were powerful noble families such as daimyos, and the Hikawa family was the daimyo of the Shimodate Domain, and the Hikawa Okasaka, who was shot in the head, was the brother of the Daimyo of the Shimodate Domain.

The purpose of Hikawa Kisaka's trip is very simple, to kill the one named Xia Wanchun and avenge his brother!

In the square outside the official office of Yingtianfu, there is a simple public hall, and a large public case is placed in the middle, and two people sit at the head, namely Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Gu Wei, the secretary of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department.

Each of them was accompanied by several officials who served as advisors and read the law.

Around the public hall were the three classes of Ying Tianfu officials, and then outside were the people who came to hear the trial, standing in a large circle.

Several people dressed in Wu costumes swaggered into the court, led by Aoki, a foreign envoy from Japan.

Aoki gave a serious salute: "Uncle Zhengshan, Lord Feng, the case of our maritime merchants, as a foreign envoy stationed in the Ming Dynasty, we should have the right to hear the trial in court, right?" ”

"Please take care of yourself!"

Feng Ying said lightly, then slapped the shocked wood and shouted: "Promote the court to try the case!" ”

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

A shout suddenly came out.

The people followed the prestige, only to see the emperor's Luan driving far away.

This time, Zhu Cihong didn't put on a score, unlike in the past, when he went out on patrol with a large number of people with him, it was like going out to smash the field.

In the capital, there is really no need for that, just bring 100 people to support the scene.

The two chief judges hurriedly took the three classes of officials to clear a way and greet the holy driver.

After getting off Luan, Zhu Cihong was wearing a blue Sihe Ruyi cloud pattern dragon robe, with a jade belt hanging from his waist, and the bright color was very eye-catching, making him look like the most beautiful boy on the street.

Zhu Cihong's face is serious, his body is straight and straight, like a green pine erected, revealing a heroic atmosphere, giving people a sense of tenacity and fortitude.

The generals of the Royal Forest Army who followed him were all dressed in flying fish suits, with serious expressions and full of energy.

"Feng Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers' Punishment, and Gu Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Military Justice, respectfully invite St. An!"

As a group of officials and officials saluted, the people also saluted, and some looked at the legendary emperor excitedly to see if he had three heads and six arms, and clouds under his feet.

"I'm safe!"

Facing the people around him, Zhu Cihong smiled slightly, and suddenly his painting style changed, making people feel like a spring breeze.

The emperor is coming, it is rare to see, and the officials of Ying Tianfu are all trembling, for fear of losing etiquette, and they all stand straight.

The Japanese envoy Aoki farted and wanted to come up alone to say hello and show his face, but was blocked by Xu Sheng.

Aoki was anxious, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are here, it can be seen that the Ming Kingdom attaches great importance to this case, but this is not a good thing, if the emperor judges the Ming people not guilty, what should it be?

A feeling of unease appeared in Aoki's heart.

After everyone saluted, Gu Wei stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty wants to hear this case in person?" ”

Hearing this, Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you must not, the emperor is the co-lord of the world, and it is unreasonable to try the case with the supreme emperor himself." ”

In the past dynasties, there were basically no Ming monarchs who went to sit in the lobby of the criminal department, and several emperors had a relationship with judges, but they were all dissuaded by the ministers.

If Emperor Tianwu insisted on trying the case, what would he do? How to persuade?

This is the voice of all the officials of the Criminal Department.

Zhu Cihong glanced at Feng Ying and said, "You also persuaded me, I didn't plan to come over to try the case." ”

"Then you are ......," Feng Ying said curiously.

Don't come to the trial and pretend to be forced? It's not like His Majesty's style!

Zhu Cihong said seriously: "Trying a case is a technical job, which requires long-term study and practice to master, I am not very professional in this field, so I will not join in the fun. ”

Feng Yingchang breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that the emperor would have to try the case when he came strongly, but fortunately, the emperor had matured and began to reason.

In Zhu Cihong's heart, this is not an unreasonable matter, first of all, he is indeed unprofessional, and it is easy to mix personal feelings in the trial process to lose fairness, so that in the future, judges will follow this in the trial, and they will lose the standard of judgment.

The most important thing is that if the emperor personally tries the case, the country's judicial system will be destroyed, and the phenomenon of existing in name only.

We can't just force it quickly and let the judicial system that we have built up be ruined.

Zhu Cihong found a place next to the public case and sat down, and said, "Let's start the trial." ”

The two presiding judges were so frightened that they didn't even dare to say anything, and implored the emperor to sit in the middle.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "If I sit in that position, wouldn't I be the chief judge?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and judge! ”

He pointed to a few officials of the Criminal Department next to him and said, "Don't stand still, sit down." ”

Feng Ying and Gu Wei wiped their sweat and sat at the top of the public case, the two of them were nervous, and the officials of the Criminal Department at the bottom were afraid, the emperor was sitting next to him, or at the same table!

Being able to share the table with the emperor is what a face, but no one is happy.

The director of the criminal department who was at the same table with Zhu Cihong had his face pale, his predecessor was beheaded by the "same table" next to him, how could he not be afraid!
