Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, many officials in the Taihe Hall couldn't help frowning.
Now? Attack. Which is the key] jealousy, cowardice, cowardice, apple scar, fang, 1o Yong training, and the traces of the bag? br/>
Emperor Deqing's expression flashed with a hint of satisfaction, and he nodded in appreciation: "Zhao Aiqing is deeply heartfelt, and it is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country." I mean the same thing, and now that the people's will is unstable, it is necessary to calm the impact as a top priority. ”
After a few words of praise, Emperor Deqing asked again: "Then according to Aiqing, how should we calm down the influence?" ”
Zhao Junchen replied slowly: "Your Majesty, there are two reasons why the mistakes of the southern tour have caused such a big bad impact. One is the exploitation and persecution of the people by the local yamen when they were preparing for the southern tour, and many people were displaced because of this, and even their families were ruined, making everyone in the world think that the court was hiding dirt and dirt; The second is that when the victims went to Beijing to file a complaint, the three legal divisions all refused to accept the case, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also made many outrageous moves, which made the world question the judicial injustice of the imperial court. ”
Hearing that Zhao Junchen had opened the topic and had the intention of helping the prince exonerate, Shen Changmao snorted lightly and was about to say something.
But Emperor Deqing was the first to speak: "It makes sense, so how do you plan to solve it, Aiqing?" ”
Zhao Junchen replied: "The minister thinks that the top priority now should be three things, one of which is to select an important minister with a noble status and good reputation from the court as a messenger, and grant him the right to arbitrarily investigate and deal with the mistakes in the preparation of the southern tour. Those local corrupt officials who used the preparations for the southern tour to discredit His Majesty and make profits for themselves were tried one by one and all severely punished. Returning justice to the people shows that the court has done everything to eliminate evil? ahref='/txt/16711/4977324/'>. Determination and publicity to the world, and only in this way can the people's minds be calmed and the bad influence caused by this matter can be fundamentally cut off. ”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen added: "However. In view of the fact that His Majesty's southern tour is about to begin, and in order to calm down the influence as much as possible, the trial of the case should be carried out by thunderous means. The verdict will be completed in two months, and the provincial majesty will be plagued by rumors about this matter while you are on your southern tour. Also look at His Majesty xià Mingjian. ”
After hearing Zhao Junchen's words. Many officials were stunned again.
Two months seems to be a long time, but you must know that the mistakes in the preparation of the southern tour are not limited to one state and one government, from the north to the south, the places where Emperor Deqing's southern tour will pass are all incidents. The local officials who need to be interrogated add up to dozens of people. It is absolutely impossible to conclude all cases within two months, unless they are interrogated in the form of an edict and prison.
…………
As for the reason for this approach, Zhao Junchen also explained to Emperor Deqing that the apparent reason is that only by closing the case quickly can the matter be prevented from getting bigger and bigger, and the possibility of local officials biting the prince is cut off, but the secret reason is only known to Zhao Junchen himself.
Therefore, Emperor Deqing didn't seem to notice the rush of time at all, and just asked, "Oh? Zhao Aiqing thought it carefully, but I don't know who is more suitable for Aiqing's appointment? ”
Between the attention of hundreds of officials, Zhao Junchen said: "Such an appointment of the imperial court, only the noble status can show the attention of the imperial court, and only the reputation can be convincing. ”
Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, the officials from all over the court were even more in an uproar.
Now because of the preparations for the southern tour, the original virtuous reputation has been damaged, and countless gossip has been aroused, which is what many officials are happy to see. But if the crown prince is allowed to become the imperial court's envoy, punish local corrupt officials, and return justice to the people, won't the prince's reputation be restored soon?
Especially the prince's party, they didn't expect Zhao Junchen to have such "good intentions", and they all looked at Zhao Junchen incredibly for a while.
Shen Changmao, who was on the side, couldn't hold back any longer, glared at Zhao Junchen fiercely, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Zhao Shangshu's construction is out of consideration, the prince is the person responsible for the preparation of the southern tour, and now that the preparation of the southern tour has gone wrong, how can the prince become a Qincha to investigate the case?" How can such an approach convince the world? The old minister thinks it's inappropriate! ”
Huang Yourong also came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks it's inappropriate. Now that the southern tour is imminent, the prince has the heavy responsibility of supervising the country, and during this time, he is studying and preparing well, but he can't be distracted. ”
However, unexpectedly, after Zhou Shangjing pondered for a while, he glanced at Zhao Junchen thoughtfully, and actually came out to express his approval, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with Zhao Shangshu's meaning, and now because of the preparations for the southern tour, the prince's reputation has been damaged, but the prince is the prince, and such a reputation is damaged, I am afraid that it will also lead to social instability, and it is a good opportunity to turn the prince's reputation around by handing over the errand of the Qincha to the prince." ”
Shen Changmao and Huang Yourong both didn't expect Zhou Shangjing to support Zhao Junchen's proposal, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they didn't know how to express their attitude.
But Zhao Junchen was in his heart, but he didn't expect that in just a short period of time, Zhou Shangjing had already figured out Zhao Junchen's true plan.
Emperor Deqing couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Zhou Shangjing also agreed, and a trace of doubt flashed in his expression, but between his deep groans, he still seized the opportunity to say: "Since even Zhou Aiqing thinks so, then this matter is so decided, let the prince do it." ”
Saying that, Emperor Deqing turned his head to look at the crown prince Zhu Heyu, his expression was stern, and he said slowly: "Prince, this errand and the judgment of the case, I will hand it over to you, don't let me down again." ”
After hearing Emperor Deqing say this, the crown prince Zhu Heyu glanced at Zhao Junchen with a complicated expression, and seemed to be a little surprised, and just said in a deep voice after leaving the ranks: "Erchen obeys orders." ”
…………
Seeing that the dust had settled on this matter, Emperor Deqing's mind relaxed a little, and he asked Zhao Junchen again: "Zhao Aiqing, you just said that the imperial court has three things to do, but now you just said one, what are the remaining two?" ”
Zhao Junchen replied: "Your Majesty, now this southern tour is a mistake. If the trouble is so big, if it is only to punish local corrupt officials, I am afraid it will not be enough. Those people who have been displaced or even ruined have now become displaced refugees, and if they are left alone, it will be inappropriate after all, and they need the imperial court to help them and compensate for their losses.

Hungry and shallow family stall oyster humor thing.? br/>
Emperor Deqing didn't think much about it this time. just nodded and said: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, this matter will be handled by your household department, and it is important to let the people regain confidence in the imperial court." ”
Emperor Deqing didn't think much about such a trivial matter. As long as the money used for relief is not from the inner treasury. Emperor Deqing wouldn't care.
What's more, in the eyes of Emperor Deqing, the household department now has not much surplus silver, and the so-called relief compensation is just a face-saving effort, and there is nothing wrong with handing it over to the household department.
If Emperor Deqing knew that Zhao Junchen had transferred 100,000 taels of silver from his own house to the household department in order to compensate the victims in various places this time. I'm afraid I'm going to give the prince such an opportunity to earn fame!
In the next two months, though. The crown prince Zhu and Yu still have to hurry up and travel to various places to try cases, and I am afraid that they will not have the time and energy to help the people.
Moreover, Emperor Deqing was also afraid that the amount of silver used by the household department to compensate for relief was too shabby, so he didn't ask in detail, and such an opportunity to earn fame finally fell into the hands of Zhao Junchen.
And the thoughts of the hundred officials in the court are similar to those of Emperor Deqing, thinking that this kind of relief and compensation is just a matter of face, so there is no controversy, and they all agree to Zhao Junchen's second mentions.
"Zhao Aiqing has been doing things more steadily and meticulously in recent days." After Emperor Deqing praised Zhao Junchen again, he asked again: "So, what is the third thing in Aiqing's mouth?" ”
Zhao Junchen's eyes flashed, but he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the bad impact caused by the preparations for the southern tour, and the actions of the local yamen, are just an introduction, the reason why there is a lot of uproar, the fundamental reason is that after the people came to Beijing to complain, not only did the three legal divisions refuse to accept the case, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate has done a lot of outrageous things, not only beating refugees on the street, but also intercepting and arresting people from all over the country who went to Beijing to complain, and now in the hearts of the people, our dynasty is no longer legal justice, in order to calm the people's hearts, Let the people of the world regain confidence in the law of our dynasty, and the ministers should severely punish the relevant people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, replace the upper and lower imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and clean and rectify the Metropolitan Procuratorate! ”
As Zhao Junchen's words fell, there was another uproar in the court.
No one expected that Zhao Junchen, who was still exonerating the prince just now, would suddenly point the finger at the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
For the officials of the three factions of Zhou Shangjing, Huang Yourong, and Shen Changmao, this kind of mention and impeachment is the meaning of the topic of the court this morning, and after attacking and impeaching the prince, it will be mentioned sooner or later.
But I never thought that it was brought up by Zhao Junchen first!
Could it be that when Zhao Junchen said such a mention, he was not afraid that he would offend Emperor Deqing?
And after Emperor Deqing heard Zhao Junchen's mention, his face sank!
Emperor Deqing also knew that by now, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would inevitably usher in the impeachment of hundreds of officials, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate is now the base camp of the prince's party.
Therefore, Emperor Deqing only planned to pick out a few scapegoats from the Imperial Court to take the blame, so as not to hurt the power of the crown prince Zhu Heyu.
But what Zhao Junchen meant was to eradicate the power and influence of the crown prince Zhu and Yu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?
Emperor Deqing knew that someone in the court would mention yì like this morning.
But Emperor Deqing didn't expect that such a mention would actually come from Zhao Junchen's mouth!
Could it be that Zhao Junchen feels that his wings are stiff and he no longer has the same heart as himself?
Thinking of this, a hint of tranquility flashed in Emperor Deqing.
