Not long before the ministers arrived at the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Hongzhi arrived with Zhu Houzhao.

Emperor Hongzhi sat down, and the ministers saluted.

After seeing the salute, Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and gestured to Xiao Jing, "Let's announce the decree first." ”

Xiao Jing responded, then unfolded the injured bright yellow scroll, and said, "Uncle Yunzhong, take the order?" ”

Xie Zhi was really a little surprised when he heard Yun Zhongbo, and in an instant, countless kinds of content about this will passed through his mind.

In front of so many courtiers, if Emperor Hongzhi vetoed his matter in person.

He can't just resist the decree so openly!

So many people are watching, even for the sake of face, for him, a person who resists the decree, Emperor Hongzhi has to show some performance.

After Xie Zhi was stunned, Xiao Jing shouted again: "Uncle Yunzhong, take the order!" ”

At this time, only Zhu Houzhao was the one who was with him.

Xie Zhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao from afar, but he was also stunned when he saw Zhu Houzhao.

This guy is really unreliable, can't he inquire about such a big thing in advance?

Xie Zhi hesitated, but finally stepped forward.

There is no difference between not accepting the order and resisting the order, since stretching out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, it is better to be happy directly.

Xie Zhi stepped forward and said, "The minister takes the order." ”

Xiao Jing then began to recite, "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says, Yunzhong Bo Xie is brave and capable, and Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has great merit, and now I give marriage to Xie Zhi and Zhu Hui, hoping that they can be together for a hundred years and forever united." ”

This kind of marriage is really a bit sloppy.

Xie Zhi was surprised, and the ministers were also confused.

Who is this woman, Zhu Hui, can you explain?

So you give marriage?

Xie Zhi glanced at Xie Qian, but he was quite calm.

In this way, this matter was caused by his father.

I know that his father is the kind of person with a hard mouth and a soft heart!

Just when Xie Zhi was stunned, Xiao Jing urged again: "Yun Zhongbo takes the order!" ”

Xie Zhi finally reacted now, this will has to be taken quickly, and this must be effective when the ministers do not react.

It is even more necessary to ensure that Emperor Hongzhi will not regret it.

Xie Zhi hurriedly blurted out and said, "Thank you." ”

The name of a vassal princess is not so easily known, and the courtiers just guess that this Zhu Hui is a royal woman.

Xie Zhi is married to the royal family.

As for which woman this Zhu Hui is, I really can't guess.

Since he couldn't guess it, someone began to ask: "I don't know who this Zhu Hui is?" ”

This person may just be just to eat a bite of melon, but Xie Zhi blurted out without hiding, and said: "Your Majesty has given marriage, although it is for the door, it is also my Xie Zhi's wife, and there is nothing that a certain wife can't see, since you want to know, you might as well tell you that a certain wife is the eighth sister of Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning." ”

Emperor Xie Qian and Emperor Hongzhi were full of black lines.

The purpose of Emperor Hongzhi's vague decree was to wait until his biological mother cooked the rice.

By this time, even if the courtiers were against it, there would not be much resistance.

Which Cheng thought, Xie Zhi actually admitted it directly in front of the courtiers.

After Xie Zhi spoke, the courtiers were in an uproar.

Now that there is no result for King Ning and his family, he has decreed to give marriage, what does this mean?

In an instant, a speaker spoke, and said: "Your Majesty, King Ning's plot against this is a great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, and it is really inappropriate to pardon his relatives before he is convicted, right?" ”

Now there is not only one person in the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the Fengtian Temple.

After this person spoke, another person spoke again, and this person Xie Zhi knew each other.

Isn't this Gu Pu, the left capital of the Imperial Palace?

At the beginning, when the defenders of Liaodong fought with Duoyan Sanwei for the sake of merit, it was Gu Pu who went out to investigate the matter clearly.

Although Xie Zhi didn't communicate much with him, he still knew that Gu Pu was a rare upright person.

"Your Majesty, this matter is really inappropriate, the Xie family's position in the court is very important, and now this marriage gift shows His Majesty's attitude, and it is really not appropriate to give marriage like this."

As soon as Gu Pu's words came out, all the courtiers echoed and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal!" ”

Now that I am facing these doubts, my head is clear.

Xie Zhi immediately smiled and said, "What you say is extremely reasonable, and you can resign." ”

As soon as Xie Zhi said this, the courtiers' doubts became louder.

This official can be resigned so easily.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little unhappy, and in the face of the chattering ministers, he said angrily: "My will has been made, do you have to force me to break my word, okay, this matter is like this, and then we will discuss the treatment of King Ning and his henchmen." ”

In addition to Xie Zhi's subordinates and family members who were escorted back from Nanchang, Zhu Chenhao's henchmen also bribed many courtiers in the court.

The highest status among these courtiers was Zhou Shou, Marquis of Qingyun.

In the circle network, there are not only Zhu Chenhao who buys them, but also those who are attached to Zhou Shou.

Anyway, with King Ning and Zhou Shou as the starting point, no matter how big or small, there are at least more than 200 people arrested.

This incident can be regarded as the biggest and most detrimental case of the Hongzhi Dynasty.

During this time, Emperor Hongzhi's attitude became more and more tough, and he no longer blindly gave in to those courtiers.

In any case, Emperor Hongzhi is an emperor, and his attitude has become tougher, and even the official no longer insists.

After the courtiers quieted down, Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Xie Zhi, this matter was handled by you, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”

Since Emperor Hongzhi asked for his opinion, Xie Zhi also replied, and said: "The minister thinks that the culprit should be punished, and in order to set an example, those who are attached to King Ning, and those who have caused substantial harm should also be punished, and as for other people who are convicted, they will just be punished." ”

No matter how you deal with others, you can't control it, at least you have to keep Zhu Gongtiao.

After Xie Zhiyan said this opinion, he immediately bowed down with a little difficulty, and said: "Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to let go of Zhu Gongtiao, the son of King Ning, and the minister is on the way back to Beijing, he sees his innocence, and the whole process is not clear, what is the result of being escorted back to Beijing to wait for him, the minister thinks that such a child is escorted to the execution ground, and the minister's heart aches faintly. ”

In fact, starting from Xie Zhi's heart, he disapproves of this kind of joint sitting.

Whoever said that if they encountered a bad son, the nine clans would all suffer.

How innocent it is to those people.

In that year, Zhu Di entered Beijing and killed Fang Xiaoru's ten clans.

In later generations, everyone in the world knows that Fang Xiaoru would rather be punished by the ten clans, and it is not like a rebellious minister and thief to compromise is a great righteousness.

But who can name each and every one of the ten tribes that has been implicated?

The unsung sacrifice of the people of the ten tribes is not even worthy of being passed on to future generations, and how innocent they are.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Zhi said: "Your Majesty can not only pardon the children who have not yet entered school in this case, but also the children involved in the case in the future. ”

Thank you for saying that there is a point.

But no matter how reasonable it seems, there will still be people who refute it.

Just like this matter, before Xie Zhi's words fell, someone said: "I'm afraid this statement is inappropriate, the wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows, if the child is forgiven, who can guarantee that this child will not do what his predecessors did in the future?" Is this to make trouble for the imperial court again? Take this matter as an example, if Prince Ning raises troops again in the future, with the previous lessons and accumulated experience, who can guarantee that this counterinsurgency will be smoother? ”

Such a statement is not unreasonable.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and replied: "This is not unreasonable, is it because of this possibility, even a child will be killed, and the court does not have this confidence?" Still don't have that confidence? ”

After Xie Zhi replied, another person spoke up and said: "It is precisely because of the sin of Zhulian that some people with pure luck are worried that the bloodline will be cut off and dare not take risks. ”

There is some truth to this statement.

The original intention of this Zhulian is to force some people not to dare to take risks by cutting off their households.

After a pause in response to this objection, Xie Zhicai said: "Yes, this statement is reasonable, and Zhulian's original intention may be the same, but it is not necessarily true, right?" Only the wife is the orthodox bloodline, who can guarantee that a bloodline of the same age can be left behind, even if there is a bloodline alive, who can guarantee that this bloodline will be completely separated from its family under the education of the imperial court? ”

After connecting the two of them, finally no one spoke.
