In the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, at the beginning of November.

Today, Emperor Jiajing is in the palace of Concubine Zhang De.

Because Concubine Zhang De returned to the palace, she also brought Princess Jiashan back to the palace.

"The daughter has seen her father."

Princess Zhu Suyan, a nineteen-year-old princess of Jiashan, married Xu Congcheng three years ago.

He was the youngest of Emperor Jiajing's two daughters.

Xu Congcheng was originally just an ordinary scholar, but three years ago, he happened to meet Princess Jiashan to choose a concubine, and was selected by Princess Guishan, and now he is a concubine.

According to memory, the previous Emperor Jiajing had not seen Princess Jiashan since she got married.

"Jiashan Sijing is an adult."

I haven't seen him for more than three years, from sixteen years old to nineteen years old, there has been a lot of change, and the current Jiajing Emperor feels obvious.

Hush Han asked for warmth, and then the family of three had lunch together.

Emperor Jiajing allowed Princess Jiashan to stay longer, and she could enter the palace at any time in the future.

Afternoon.

There was something in the cabinet, and Emperor Jiajing went to the cabinet cabinet.

Xu Jie's search for the emperor was for Chen Liuhou, after all, he was a relative of the emperor, although the case was decided, but how to deal with it in the end required Emperor Jiajing's nod.

"Shengshang, there are many vassal kings, and the officials pleaded for Chen Liuhou, asking the Shengshang to open up the net."

Xu Jie looked at the dozens of notebooks piled up next to him, all of which were interceding for Chen Liuhou.

Emperor Jiajing picked up some notebooks and looked at them, and then calmed his face: "As a relative of the emperor, I should have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, but I started to eat the moths of the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and I killed many innocent people, which is a great crime." ”

After a pause, he said, "The death penalty is inevitable, leave him some dignity and give him death." ”

There is no need to behead the public, there is no need to punish the capital, and the scriptures are lenient.

Xu Jie thought for a while and asked, "Then Chen Liuhou's family, can they be punished lightly?" ”

Sijing's house was raided, and Chen Liuhou's family members were also arrested.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Liuhou's crime was enough to rob his family and kill his head, and his family members were either exiled or confiscated as slaves.

But Chen Liuhou is a relative of the emperor and is related to the emperor's face.

The current Emperor Jiajing also understands the reason: "The disaster will not affect the family, and what Chen Liuhou does, he will bear it himself." The title is retained and inherited by his eldest son, and if he repeats the offense, he will be punished heavily. ”

In this way, it is a good ending.

Chen Liuhou is really insatiable, and the evidence of the crime found out by Hai Rui is too numerous to write, and it is not a pity to die.

can save his family and title, and even let Chen Liuhou die a dignified death, such a result can also appease the princes and princes of various places.

The cabinet is also easy to explain.

"Holy Lord, something happened to Hai Rui!"

At this moment, Lu Fang hurriedly ran to the cabinet.

What happened to Hai Rui?

It can't be an accident, right?

Suffer!

Xu Jie's hearts tightened.

Emperor Jiajing frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

Lu Fang replied: "Hai Rui was intercepted on the way back to Beijing and was seriously injured. ”

Finished!

Xu Jie's face turned pale, and he said in his heart: Those people are in trouble.

Emperor Jiajing made an angry look: "If it wasn't for the protection of Jinyiwei all the way, how could this be?" Is Hai Rui worried about his life? ”

Lu Fang: "The other party had a premeditated plan and a large number of people, and Jinyiwei fought hard to keep Hai Rui." Hai Rui is seriously injured, but not life-threatening. ”

Call~

People didn't die.

The worst did not come out.

Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief, if Hai Rui was killed, the trouble would be even greater.

"Do you know who did it?"

Emperor Jiajing guessed in his heart that it should be Hai Rui's investigation of the matter of saving money and embezzlement of ink to offend people, and the biggest suspect was someone related to Chen Liuhou, or some imperial relatives.

"They are all dead soldiers, and there is no living mouth."

Lu Fang shook his head: "At present, I don't know who did it, and the slave maid has arranged for Jinyi Wei to investigate." ”

"It's such a big dog's guts, my Qincha dares to kill it, no matter who it is, I have to find out!"

Emperor Jiajing was furious: "Some people really have no king's law, and there is no me in their eyes." Good, good! ”

Suffered, the emperor was really angry.

Xu Jie and the others were very nervous, not knowing how big the next thunder rage would be.

Emperor Jiajing said to Xu Jie: "Behead Chen Liuhou for public display, cut off the title, deprive the fief, and demote him to a commoner." I want them to know that the laws of the Ming Dynasty are not to be flouted, and my majesty is not to be offended! ”

Marquis Chen was deprived of his title and fief and demoted to commoners, and his descendants became commoners and no longer enjoyed privileges.

Subsequently, Emperor Jiajing said to Lu Fang: "Let Jinyiwei take the imperial doctor to heal Hai Rui, you can't let him die, and when he returns to Beijing, I will return to reward."

Let Jinyiwei be sure to catch the murderer, and don't let one go! I don't believe it, I can still turn the sky upside down! ”

Xu Jie scolded those who planned to intercept and kill Hai Rui in his heart, the emperor was originally gracious, but now it's okay, Chen Liuhou's family is finished, and if the emperor's relatives are found in the future, it will inevitably be redone, otherwise the emperor's majesty will not exist.

Zhang Juzheng was not in the cabinet and went to Zhejiang to deal with the affairs of opening the sea.

Yuwang Mansion.

Syllable!

Hearing that Hai Rui was intercepted and seriously injured, Zhu Zaikun, the king of Yu, was also furious: "Arrogant, arrogant, without the king's law, contempt for the court, the crime deserves death!" ”

Hai Rui is the person he recommended, and killing Hai Rui is also slapping him in the face of King Yu.

"Lord Wang, some of them are indeed excessive. Originally, the father and the emperor decided to deal with it lightly, but they suddenly did so, and there was no room for recovery. ”

Princess Yu Li (the biological mother of Wanli in history) said on the side.

Yuwang Zhu Zaikun glanced at her unhappily: "Let your mother's people restrain a little, if they dare to ignore the royal law, this king can also kill his relatives in righteousness!" ”

Princess Yu was aggrieved: "My mother's family is a responsible person, and it is impossible to do illegal things." ”

Yuwang Zhu Zaikun said: "Let Feng Bao inquire about the news, and report the news in time." This king will go up now, and ask his father to punish the murderer severely. ”

This is to show that for those who openly provoke the court, no matter who it is, he Yuwang will rise up to maintain the discipline of the court.

This matter soon spread throughout the capital.

"Dare to kill Hai Qingtian, it must be those imperial relatives!"

"I hope the emperor catches the murderer!"

"Come on, people are aristocrats, and they are related to the emperor, so at most they can find a few scapegoats and do things hastily."

"Let's see, if it is not handled well, it will definitely arouse public anger."

Many people are concerned about this matter.

Three days later, Hai Rui was quietly escorted back to Beijing by the Jinyi Guard, and sent directly to the palace, where he continued to receive medical treatment from the imperial doctor.

Li Shizhen went to King Jing's fiefdom to see a doctor, but he hasn't come back yet.

Emperor Jiajing came to visit Hai Rui's situation.

"Holy Lord, Minister......"

Hai Rui's face was pale, lying on the bed, and when he saw Emperor Jiajing coming, he was about to get up and salute.

"Lie down."

Emperor Jiajing asked him to lie down: "Take care of your injuries, and wait until you are well." Your family, I've always been taken care of, everything is fine."

"Thank you."

Hai Jui is weak.

The doctor said that Hai Rui's injury would not heal in a few months.

However, it was also fateful and did not die.

Otherwise, Jiajing will be a little distressed, Hai Rui is dead, and he will be missing a sword of justice in the future.

Using Hai Rui can not only punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but also confiscate a lot of money for him, and also bring him a good reputation.

Hai Rui is a loyal minister, a good official, who is reused and eliminates harm for the people, can he still be said that Emperor Jiajing is mediocre?
