"The lower official pleads guilty ......"

In the eyes of everyone, Qian Qianyi trembled, struggled for a long time, and still pounced, knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

There is no room for any more struggle, he is a high-ranking official in the court, not a ruffian, and vain entanglement will only make him look unbearable and will make his crimes worse.

Wang Qiaonian, Zhang Wenda, Shen Xun, Lu Daqi, such a large lineup, no one can be allowed to mess around.

And he still needs to save the last bit of face!

When Qian Qianyi's 'confession' fell, Wang Qiaonian, Zhang Wenda and other cadres breathed a sigh of relief, they had been worried that Qian Qianyi would say some court secrets, embarrassing the court and the emperor, and it would be difficult for them to do it.

Now that Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty, everyone's faces eased a little and looked at Wang Qiaonian.

Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty, and now wait for Wang Qiaonian's sentence.

Wang Qiaonian thought that it would take three days, although he knew it in his heart, but he couldn't draft the verdict immediately, and Zhu Xu on the other side was still there, and he groaned and said: "Since the suspect has pleaded guilty, this official has announced that the suspect will be temporarily detained in Dali Temple, and the verdict will be read out in three days!" ”

"Wei ...... Wu ......"

The officials on both sides drank loudly, and the hall was majestic and solemn.

Wang Qiaonian glanced at Zhang Wenda and the three of them, got up and walked towards the side door.

Zhang Wenda and the three of them stood, bowed slightly to Wang Qiaonian, and then looked at Qian Qianyi, who was kneeling on the ground, his face was pale and his eyes were blank, and followed Wang Qiaonian away.

Then there was an errand servant who escorted Qian Qianyi to the cell of Dali Temple.

Qian Qianyi didn't react, he only felt empty in his heart now, no fear, no fear, just felt bored, as if everything was meaningless.

Maybe the gap was relatively large, and the people outside the hall also didn't react much, they were stunned for a while, and left in twos and threes.

Liu Ru is two people couldn't get close because they came late, so they kept standing in the corner not far away, and only when the crowd dispersed did they catch an inquiry.

"Miss, has this Mr. Qian done so many things?"

After listening, Su Xi looked at Liu Ruis with a puzzled expression. When he was in Yingtianfu, Qian Qianyi was simply a god and a model of a 'righteous person', why was he suddenly so unbearable.

Liu Ru is already surprised, looking at the majestic and tall gate of Dali Temple, her face was condensed, and she hesitated: "Before the verdict comes down, we have to move around again and reduce the guilt a little more, so that we can be rescued as soon as possible." ”

Su Xi shook her head in her heart, she didn't know why Liu Ru must have saved Qian Qianyi, such a person, he didn't care if he lived or died.

Liu Ru kept searching the crowd around, waited for a while, and suddenly said, "Sister Xi, are there any other doors here?" ”

Su Xi glanced at it and said, "Such a yamen, there must be several side doors and back doors." ”

Liu Ru saw that the crowd had almost gone, and walked up, "Well, let's go to the back door." ”

Su Xi followed Liu Ruis and couldn't help but be curious: "Miss, who is that Zhu Muyu you are looking for?" You entered Beijing for him, right? ”

Liu Ru is far more mature than her peers, and she said as she walked. A friend Minami knew. ”

Although Liu Ru was wearing a cloak and covering her face, Su Xi still felt that something was wrong with Liu Ru, and looked at her with a twinkle in her eyes.

At the same time, Wang Qiaonian was asking Zhu Xu for instructions on how Qian Qianyi should be sentenced.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, stood up and said: "I don't care about this, you are the secretary of Dali Temple, and you will write the judgment." ”

Where did Wang Qiaonian dare to be arrogant, and hesitated: "Your Majesty, do you have other requirements?" ”

Zhu Xu glanced at him, 'hmm', and said for a moment: "Punish the former and the latter, treat the disease and save people, you can handle it yourself, this matter must be impeccable, and everyone will be shut up." The imperial court should take advantage of this incident to carry out strict rectification of the officials in the world, and it cannot be true. ”

Wang Qiaonian understood and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Zhu Xu looked at Wang Qiaonian, sat down for a while, and said: "You are the secretary of Dali Temple, and you are also an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and you must not only assume due responsibilities in the cabinet, but also maintain the independence of Dali Temple...... The role of Dali Temple and the Governor's Yuan has an extremely important impact on the situation of the Ming Dynasty and the government affairs of the world, although the development is still in the early stages, but you have to have a plan in your heart, you know? ”

In short, Dali Temple is not an institution of the cabinet, but also plays a corresponding role of checks and balances.

"The minister understands," Wang Qiaonian's expression was slightly solemn, and he said: "The minister is already drafting the draft of next year's speech at the general meeting, and once it is completed, it will be sent to the palace for the emperor to see." ”

Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "Well, that's good, I'll go back, you're busy with yours." ”

Wang Qiaonian hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and left with Cao Huachun and the others.

Zhu Xu came out of the side door, thought about it, and said to Wang Qiaonian behind him: "For the local Dali Temple at all levels, you also have to step up preparations, if you really can't reach the whip, you can also learn from the military department, make a regional division, and promote it in the way of several centers and radiation, which is easier and faster than pushing in the capital." ”

Wang Qiaonian's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Yes, after the minister goes back, he will convene people to discuss." ”

Zhu Xu hummed and walked to the carriage not far away.

Wang Qiaonian stood outside the door and watched, and did not continue to follow like a sycophant.

As soon as Zhu Xu stepped into the carriage with one foot, Liu Ru and Su Xi on the other side turned around, and just saw Zhu Xu getting into the carriage, and his side face flashed.

Liu Ru looked at the familiar and unfamiliar side face through the veil, her body stiffened, and she opened her mouth to shout, but she didn't make a sound when she reached her mouth.

The carriage not far away slowly left, Su Xi looked at Liu Rusi, frowned, and said, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Ru watched the carriage disappear from the corner, the corners of her mouth moved, and she said after a while: "Sister Xi, let's go back." ”

Su Xi was stunned and said, "Miss, aren't you looking for someone?" ”

Liu Ru was still looking at the empty path in a daze, and she didn't know why, the person she had been looking forward to seeing was right in front of her, but she was timid.

There are only a few sides, what to say? How to say hello? Did you ask him to save Qian Qianyi when he opened his mouth?

After a long time, Liu Ru said softly: "Go back." ”

Su Xi was very puzzled, and heard that Liu Ru is voice was wrong, so he didn't ask, and accompanied her back.

Qian Qianyi's confession quickly caused a huge shock in the capital, and various rumors disturbed one after another.

The cabinet's newspaper and the newspapers of the six ministries have also printed special issues at this moment, and they have quickly spread out in the capital to dispel rumors and set the record straight.

Bi Ziyan and others in the cabinet can be regarded as relieved, Qian Qianyi did not talk nonsense and cause trouble to them.

Zhu Xu returned to the cabinet room, and Bi Ziyan followed.

"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty, then those people can be sent away."

Standing in front of Zhu Xu's imperial table, Bi Ziyan raised his hand.

Qian Qianyi's case also involved the 'transfer' of Yang Lian, Wang Ji and other Donglin remnants, these people are already in Tian. Jinwei, ready to be loaded and sent away on a ship, to Manila, Jakarta.

Zhu Xu's fingers tapped on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Well, you can." If you want to occupy its country, you must first destroy its history. I will never allow anyone to give up the two islands in the South China Sea, abandon them, and take them out for sale! The land of my Ming Dynasty was exchanged for the lives of my Ming soldiers, and it is a matter of my Ming dignity, and I can't back down at all! ”

Bi Ziyan is similar to the current court officials, and they are all worried that the emperor in front of him will be reckless. Listening to Zhu Xu's tone, he instinctively sensed that there was something in this, thought about it seriously, and said cautiously, "The minister understands." ”

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan's expression and knew what he was thinking, secretly feeling that the national and territorial consciousness had to be cultivated slowly, and he pondered: "Well, the cabinet is ready, the big wedding, the big military performance, and the big court meeting must step up preparations, and the plan for next year must be made as soon as possible, especially the budget expenditures, you can't be careless......

The current affairs of the Ming Dynasty are complicated, and the 'New Deal' is a critical moment, as if everything is crowded together.

For Bi Ziyan, his biggest pressure is not in government affairs, but the emperor in front of him, as long as the emperor 'does not add chaos', he will rest assured and relaxed.

These words were naturally buried deep in his heart, and Bi Ziyan raised his hand and said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

For these things, Zhu Xu has already let go of the cabinet, picked up a notebook casually, Zhu Xu said: "The cabinet's current manpower is still a little worse, so let's do it, each cabinet minister is equipped with three more staff, as an assistant, you can choose your own candidates, from the six grades, and put them under the cabinet book." ”

Bi Ziyan's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and said, "Yes, Emperor Xie is compassionate." ”

Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Zhao Han will come to Beijing tomorrow, and the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries should be further sorted out and clarified. No matter how you divide it, there are only two requirements, first, the responsibility is to the people. If something happens, you have to find someone, and you can't kick it around and turn it into a confused lawsuit. Second, rights and obligations are equal, and the good cannot be good, and the bad is all attributed to one side, and balance is the most important ......"

"Obey." Bi Ziyan said, these are all due discussions.

Cabinet, six newspapers spread all over the capital, describing in detail the entire process of the trial in Dali Temple.

For a time, it set off huge fluctuations in the capital, and the discussion was boiling, all over the streets and alleys.

"I really didn't expect Qian Qianyi to be such a person, I always thought that he was the backbone of the imperial court......

"I went to see the court trial, and he wanted to quibble at the beginning, but in the end, he was presented with evidence by the Governor's Yuan, and he knelt down and pleaded guilty......"

"The Donglin Party is getting more and more unbearable now, a few years ago, they shouted for the country and the people, but I didn't expect that all of them were selfish and self-interested, and people who could do anything......"

"Where are there any good people in the friends, it's not all for power, excluding dissidents, dominating the court, and doing whatever they want......"

"If you want to say that the emperor is still wise, he eradicated the Donglin Party early, if he keeps letting the Donglin Party occupy the court, I don't know what will happen......"
