Chapter 280: I Caught Locusts with the Emperor?
Ji Gang dared to swear to the sky, since he became the commander of this brocade guard, he has never been so aggrieved, and he was even forced to the point of sounding a warning!
If it was a change to the usual, a sentence of Jinyiwei handling the case, I don't know how many people can be scared to pee, but in this Jimo City, even if he shouted Jinyiwei to handle the case, it would just stop the stinky duck eggs and rotten vegetable leaves flying all over the sky, and those people did not mean to get out of the way at all.
Ji Gang didn't even dare to order Jin Yiwei to take action against ordinary people - the others didn't know what was going on, but didn't Ji Gang, who was instructed by Zhu Laosi to let Jin Yiwei go to Juzhou to spread the news of Yang Shaofeng's arrest, also didn't understand?
If you order Jinyiwei to attack ordinary people now, the consequence is that Yang Shaofeng has nothing to do, and he, the commander of Jinyiwei, is likely to have something......
In desperation, Ji Gang had no choice but to rein in the horse, so that Yang Shaofeng in the prisoner car behind him appeared in front of him.
Yang Shaofeng looked at the scene in front of him, but he was angry and funny.
The old farmer who was lying in the pile of dead people and pretending to be dead to escape was blocked at the front of the Jinyi Guard, why was he not afraid of death now?
The strong man with a mouth full of donkey balls and clamoring to kill the Yuan soldiers stood next to the old peasant, and the hoe in his hand seemed to want to greet Ji Gang's face?
After coughing, Yang Shaofeng said loudly: "Do whatever you have to do!" What are you doing here? Your Majesty, Shengming, will definitely not be wronged by me! β
The crowd did not disperse, and the old farmer, who pretended to be dead and escaped, took a trembling step forward and shouted, "Why arrest people!" The dog officer surnamed Chen should be damned! The master killed the right! β
The corners of Ji Gang's mouth moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the role he should play, so he forced a smile and tried to put on a fierce appearance and said, "All of them are retreated to this official!" As you say, this official will transfer to His Majesty Chen on his behalf, and they will all disperse! β
"Ho~phew!"
The old farmer didn't buy it at all: "The old man is seventy-two this year, and when you sent grain to the great grandfather's army, you didn't know what to do!" There's a kind of you killed the old man! β
Seeing that Ji Gang was starting to be dumbfounded, Yang Shaofeng had to take over the conversation: "It's all scattered!" The more you stand in the way, the greater the sin of this officer! β
The old farmer retorted: "Grandpa Tai said, in a situation like yours, we can stop these dog officials and escort you to the capital to avenge your grievances!" β
Yang Shaofeng couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What a mess!" What Grandpa Tai said in the Hongwu edict is that you can enter Beijing to avenge your own officials, not that you can stop the officials! Hurry up, it's all gone, don't delay time! β
The old peasant retreated to the side with hatred, and then shouted to Yang Shaofeng: "You wait, the old man will go to the capital, I don't believe that there is no place to reason!" β
β¦β¦
is different from other prisons, and even different from other cells in the Imperial Prison, the single room where Yang Shaofeng lives can be called luxurious - it is built with a brocade quilt sent by the Yang family Zhuangzi, and it eats the wine and food sent by the drunken fairy building, and there are no handcuffs and shackles or anything like that, and Yang Shaofeng can go to other cells at will, all of them are talents, and they speak well, which is much more interesting than the outside.
It wasn't until more than half a month had passed that snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and Yang Shaofeng ushered in the day of passing the hall.
The lobby of Shuntianfu was temporarily requisitioned, Liu Guan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Tang Zong, the secretary of the Dali Temple who had just been released from the edict by Zhu Laosi, jointly formed a luxurious lineup of three divisions for trial.
In addition, the Zongren Mansion also sent the Zongren Mansion experience as an observer, and the celebrant sent Beigong Jun to observe, coupled with Ji Gang with a gloomy look, these three people basically represented Zhu Laosi's attitude.
The procedure for passing the court hearing was very simple, first Tang Zong, who was designated as the chief judge, announced his promotion, then brought Yang Shaofeng to interrogate, and then passed on Jucheng Tongzhi and the judge, who were also imprisoned in the edict, and then questioned them separately.
After the questioning, Yang Shaofeng continued to return to the edict prison to be chic, while Tang Zong and the others returned to the court with the results of the interrogation, reported to Zhu Laosi, and waited for Zhu Laosi to make the final trial.
In order to reflect the fairness and openness of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Laosi simply kicked the ball back and asked Tang Zong and others to tell all the interrogation results in the court, and then the bigwigs in the court discussed it.
The first to stand up was Liu Guan, the left capital of the Imperial Palace: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are many strange things.
First, according to Yang Shaofeng, although he went against His Majesty's will when he went to Juzhou, His Majesty did not explicitly issue an edict prohibiting him from going.
Second, according to Yang Shaofeng, when he arrived in Juzhou, Chen Houxing, the former governor of Juzhou, was having a banquet with his fellow governor Zhou Yi, judge Wan Zhongjie and others, and did not make any disposition of the disaster in Juzhou, let alone report it to the imperial court, which was also confirmed when interrogating Zhou Yi and others.
Third, the minister consulted all the files on the matter of priest wine, and found that the priest wine and Yang Shaofeng did not know each other, if the priest wine was forcibly involved in Yang Shaofeng based on the article left by the priest wine before his death, I was afraid that it would be biased. β
Tang Zong also came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister specially sent someone to invite the son of the priest wine to come over the hall for questioning, and the matter is indeed as Liu Zuodu Yushi said, the priest wine and Yang Shaofeng have never known each other, and there is no festival.
According to the little official who served the priest's wine that day, the priest's wine vomited blood and died after reading the Daming Moon report. β
Zhu Laosi snorted, but looked at Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and said, "According to Jin Aiqing's opinion, how is it?" β
Jin Chun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it is ......"
Before Jin Chun's words fell, a dull drum sound came from afar outside the palace, choking back all the words that Jin Chun wanted to say just now, and the faces of the ministers in the palace also changed greatly.
The sound of the drums outside the palace can be transmitted to the palace hall, and the only possibility is that the drums are beaten-
Unlike Jiannu's stipulation that "it must be related to the major affairs of the military state, great greed and evil, and strange injustices", which ordinary people can only look up to, since the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chongba allowed the people to beat the drums and sound their grievances, and once the drums were beaten, the emperor must personally accept them, and if the officials obstruct them, they will be severely sentenced.
Of course, in the early years when Zhu Chongba was the emperor, the Dengwen drum was still knocked from time to time, and later Zhu Laosi was difficult to ascend the throne, and basically no one beat the Dengwen drum, and after Zhu Laosi moved the capital to Shuntianfu, the Dengwen drum never sounded!
Now that the Dengwen drum was suddenly beaten, Zhu Laosi's face instantly became gloomy, and he turned his head to Wuxin and ordered: "Go and see what's going on, how can someone knock on the Dengwen drum?" If any of the people cries out for injustice, they bring them into the palace. β
Unintentionally responded, and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the palace, but Zhu Laosi set his eyes on Jin Chun again: "Jin Aiqing continued." β
Jin Chun bowed down again and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Yang Shaofeng went to Juzhou without authorization, not only to share the worries of His Majesty, but also to control the epidemic.
As for the matter of the priest's wine, according to the testimony of the priest and the sacrificial wine, it can be known that the priest's wine was mostly angry with his protΓ©gΓ© Chen Houxing for corruption and harm to the people, so that he ended up with two corpses. β
Although Liu Guan, Tang Zong, and Jin Chun, the three chief judges, have successively explained for Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Laosi still doesn't plan to expose it so easily: "Then Si Aiqing scolded Yang Shaofeng for being a shameless child before he died, but how to explain it?" β
Jin Chun hadn't spoken yet, but Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play." β
Zhu Laosi hummed and said, "Aiqing, just say it." β
Lu Zhen bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Yang Shaofeng for the crime of rudeness."
In the past, when the newspaper was first established, Yang Shaofeng set the rule that if he wanted to publish an article in the newspaper, he had to pay the newspaper a page fee, and every thousand words was five cents.
Yang Shaofeng published many articles in the newspaper, many of which were shocking and vulgar, even though the priest had the intention to refute it, but because the family had no money to spare, and he still owed the bank more than 50,000 yuan in loans, so the article could not be published, and the priest wine also accumulated a wave of anger in his heart.
Therefore, according to the inference of the minister, the matter of the priest's wine is also inseparable from this matter, so the minister wants to impeach Yang Shaofeng for being rude, and at the same time ask His Majesty to change the system of the newspaper. β
Zhu Laosi said in a deep voice: "Accurate." Yang Shaofeng was incompletely concerned and was fined for three years. Since then, newspapers are no longer allowed to charge page fees, and if a person submits a manuscript, once it is adopted, it must pay the contributor a pen fee of 10 cents per 1,000 words, which will be paid by internal funds. β
As soon as the words fell, before the ministers shouted His Majesty's Shengming, he went out for a long time and trotted back to the palace, bowed down before reaching the imperial stairs and said: "Your Majesty, outside the imperial city, the people of Shandong have sounded the drum, saying that there are like earth-like grievances to face Your Majesty, and people are already waiting outside the palace!" β
Zhu Laosi's face didn't show joy or anger, but he just hummed lightly and ordered: "Xuan!" β
Wuxin bowed to Zhu Laosi again, then walked backwards to the door of the main hall, turned around and said: "Your Majesty has a will, declare~"
The four people with their heads bowed entered the main hall unintentionally, and after bowing to the ground, they shouted: "The grass people meet Your Majesty!" β
Zhu Laosi's face was full of smiles, and after saying a word, he simply walked down from the dragon chair, and only said in front of the four people: "Four old brothers, if you have any grievances, you can tell me." β
What does it look like to be pleasant? What does it look like to be approachable?
It's like Zhu Laosi!
The four people heard Zhu Laosi's words, and even forgot the etiquette that they had unintentionally explained on the road, and one of them even raised his head and looked at Zhu Laosi, and said with a sigh: "Aren't you the one who catches locusts?" That salted egg grandfather in the county? β
Zhu Laosi laughed, signaling that he had no intention of moving a few stools, but he said to the people who spoke: "Yes! We've caught locusts together! β
