Chapter 1840: Hanging

Under the gloomy sky, the city of Beijing seemed to have suddenly exploded.

"Straight advice? I still have a small glimpse of the courage of this Haimen God! ”

"I'm afraid you don't know, the god of Haimen bought a coffin for himself!"

"Huh...... I've heard about it, he bought the thinnest coffin in the store, and said that someone sawed his leg and put it in it! ”

……

The news of Hai Rui's direct advice to be arrested and imprisoned by the Criminal Department quickly spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and instantly became the hottest topic in the capital, with restaurants and tea shops talking about Hai Rui.

It's just that everyone knows that Haimen Shenzhi was arrested, but they don't know what is written on Hai Rui's letter, which makes many people feel sorry.

In the process of officials going up, the officials' notes can be presented to the Son of Heaven through the Tongzheng Department or Zuo Shunmen, and these notes are uniformly sent to the clerical office of the celebrant supervisor.

According to the usual practice, the emperor is the first to see the official recital, if he "stays" in this recital, then the life cycle of this recital will end here, and this recital will not be sent to the cabinet and the six branch corridors.

Many officials were worried that the emperor would play the hand of "staying in China", but they would send the manuscripts to the cabinet and the six branch corridors respectively, so that the content of the song would not be "covered to death" by the emperor, but could be made public.

In the past, Zou Yinglong's impeachment of Yan Shifan's recital was played with this hand, and a copy of the recital was copied to the Sixth Branch Gallery in advance.

Hai Rui did not do this this time, he honestly presented the Son of Heaven through the General Political Division, and Jiajing naturally "left" this rebellious recital, so the current content is not known to the outside world.

If he is willing, this song can be covered up forever, and future generations will not know the content of "Public Security Shu".

Lin Haoran took a sedan chair to Xiyuan that day and went to Wanshou Palace to ask to see Yu Jiajing, but Jiajing seemed to know Lin Haoran's intention, but refused to meet Lin Haoran.

In the afternoon of the same day, Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, interrogated Hai Rui, but because Hai Rui did not say a word, and he himself was confused, he had to turn to the cabinet for help.

With Jiajing's consent, the cabinet handed over the copy of the great rebellion to the Criminal Department.

Huang Guangsheng is a Jinshi in Jiajing for eight years, and he can be described as an old fritter in officialdom, but he did not act rashly. He couldn't test the tone from Xu Jie's mouth, and then found Yan Ne, and from Yan Ne, he resolutely got the answer.

With the transcript to the Criminal Department, the content of "Public Security Sparse" was also made public, but this "Public Security Sparse", which was known as "the first scolding in the world", completely ignited the emotions of the scholars in the capital.

"Jiajing, every family is clean, and there is no money!"

"The world is not clear, not as far as Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty mischose, all the ministers are obedient, and no one is right for Your Majesty!"

"Jianxing Palace, the Ministry of Industry is trying its best to operate; Take incense and find treasures, and the household is sent out of four ways...... The minister is stubborn and outward! ”

……

This time is no longer limited to restaurants and tea shops, many private mansions are already appreciating the content of Hai Rui's "Public Security and Neglect", and many people are like treasures.

Many people in later generations thought that "Jiajing, every family is pure" was made up by Hai Rui, but what makes people feel sad is that this is indeed the people's spontaneous use of Jiajing's Yuan name.

It is not difficult to imagine that the silver of Shuntianfu is higher than the regular tax, and the local people will have a lot of hardship, and it is no wonder that there is a conjecture of "Jiajing, every family is pure".

It's just that he dared to pass on this word to the emperor, and Xu Jie, the first assistant who is now known as the "Old Man of Licorice Pavilion", does not have the guts, even Lin Qingtian will not do this, only this Haimen God has done it.

At this moment, everyone has re-acquainted with this door god Hai Rui, and saw Hai Rui's side that dares to speak up, an official who dares to risk death to stab the sky.

This is simply pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding, and it also scolds the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, which makes many angry young people deeply impressed by this upright head of the household.

In just a few days, tens of thousands of copies of "Public Security Shu" were copied and circulated among scholars and officials, and "Public Security Shu" was already as sought-after as a compilation of strange texts.

"As a minister, it should be so!"

"Who doesn't know, but who in this world dares to do this?"

"In Chun'an, you can be as clear as a wash, and in the capital, you can directly advise the people, Hai Rui is really worthy of the name of Hai Qingtian!"

……

This time, it was no longer limited to the people of the capital, and many scholars and officials also began to be impressed by Hai Rui, and also began to redefine the ministers, and even gave Hai Rui the title of "Hai Qingtian".

It's just that the object of their worship is already locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department, and according to the nature of today's saints, Hai Rui can be said to be pushed to the guillotine this time.

Young, often more passionate.

A group of students from Guozijian admired Hai Rui's official conduct, but they spontaneously went to the yamen of the Criminal Department and silently cheered for Hai Rui through their way.

Wang Honghai, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, did not shy away from Hai Rui, and resolutely came to visit the prison of the Criminal Department every day and personally delivered cooked food to this fellow villager.

Hai Rui's mother and wife are far away in Hainan, and he entrusted his mother and wife to Wang Honghai to take care of him before he went to the house, and he also knew that he was a guilty person, but persuaded Wang Honghai not to send food again.

Because of the "criminal evidence" in hand, Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, interrogated Hai Rui again.

In view of the fact that Hai Jui was supported by many scholars, he did not interrogate Hai Jui publicly, but directly interrogated him in a private court. After getting Yan Ne's tone, he also knew how to judge Hai Rui.

After all, it is a matter involving the emperor, and there are not so many signatures and pledges, so you only need to confirm whether "Public Security" is from Hai Rui and whether it is instructed by others.

At the end of the trial, Huang Guangsheng reported the results of the trial: "Those who slander the king for their ministers should be dealt with as if the son scolded the father, and Hai Rui should be sentenced to death by hanging for the crime of unfilial piety." ”

Unfilial piety, what kind of crime this is for the time being, but "hanging" is already the result of the sentence given by the Criminal Department. If there is no accident, this will be Hai Rui's death, and he will be strangled alive, but it will be better to have a whole corpse.

The result of this verdict reached the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not raise any objections, and soon forwarded it to Jiajing.

Jiajing only needs to stamp a seal on the judgment document of the Criminal Department, so there will be no Hai Rui in this world. It's just that when Jiajing saw this criminal department's verdict, he didn't stamp it on it, and it seemed that he had other considerations.

The next day, it was still a cloudy day in the capital.

Lin Haoran, who was dealing with the affairs of the household department, was suddenly summoned by the palace and asked him to enter the palace immediately.
