Zhu Hongsan heard that Ma Mingyuan was going to the heavenly prison to see Hou Fangyu, and knew what this guy was planning, and what he was thinking about for the sake of the country, it was all a pretext. The fundamental thing is that Ma Mingyuan is a little reluctant in his heart, is it worth paying so much for this first assistant?

But Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything, since you want to be this first assistant, you have to take responsibility, how can there be a thief who only eats meat and doesn't get beaten?

"What the second brother said is very right, you go and see that Hou Fangyu, I hope he can think clearly for the country and the people. If he does repent, I can forgive him! ”

Zhu Hongsan did not object to Ma Mingyuan going to see Hou Fangyu, because Zhu Hongsan knew that the contradictions between the New Deal and the Shiren Group were irreconcilable at all, and it was not up to you two to do anything about the past.

Things were just as Zhu Hongsan expected, and half an hour later, Ma Mingyuan came back with a disgraced face.

"Oh? Why is the second brother so demeanor? Didn't that Hou Fangyu listen to persuasion? ”

Ma Mingyuan sighed and didn't speak, it turned out that he was kind enough to go to see Hou Fangyu, and wanted to persuade this world friend with affection and reason, but he didn't expect that when he first met Hou Fangyu, he would be scolded, what ingratitude, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, etc., there was no way Ma Mingyuan could only come back with a disgraced face.

Seeing Ma Mingyuan like this, Zhu Hongsan secretly scolded in his heart: These stinky old nines really don't know if they are dead.

"Second brother, in this case, you have fulfilled your obligations! The second brother's mansion was burned, I will give you another courtyard, now the second brother can go home to recuperate with peace of mind, and after I deal with these diehards, the second brother will start to implement the new policy in Nanzhili! ”

Ma Mingyuan saw that this was the end of the matter, and there was no choice but to return home to recuperate.

Next, we will enter the legal process, and this kind of big case must be tried by the three legal divisions. According to Zhu Hongsan's meaning, what kind of trial did those guys use, directly beheaded them on a charge, and then framed them to the gentry of Nanzhili, and stewed those guys.

However, the Ming Dynasty is a society governed by the rule of law, of course, it cannot be compared with the legal society of later generations, but in the Ming Emperor, he can do whatever he wants.

The legal organs of the Ming Dynasty are divided into three parts, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Xingbu, and the Dali Temple. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is somewhat similar to the discipline inspection and supervision departments of later generations, and is responsible for the fair trial of all cases. Needless to say, Xing Bu is of course responsible for the early evidence collection of the case. Dali Temple is the highest court in the country, responsible for the trial of cases. This system is very similar to the system of separation of powers in later generations, the three departments are not subordinate to each other, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is directly responsible to the emperor, Dali Temple is also one of the nine Qing, and the Xing Department is at the same level, this system naturally minimizes the occurrence of unjust cases. Later, the British and American cabinet system also partially absorbed the Chinese cabinet system.

Zhu Hongsan originally thought that the case would be very easy to hear, interrogated, and then the verdict was announced. How do you know that as soon as the matter came out, Zhu Hongsan was overwhelmed by the cabinet's folds the next day, and the majority of those who interceded for the thirty-seven lifters. There are also some who scolded Ma Mingyuan, scolding Ma Mingyuan for bringing disaster to the country and the people, and Wang Anshi is the second. (Wang Anshi's reputation in history is not very good, and it was Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao who raised him to a certain height in later generations.) The reason is very simple, only by elevating Wang Anshi's identity can it be shown that it is not easy for their master and apprentice to change the law. However, Wang Anshi has already been decided in history, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, the literati Luo Dajing said, "The cause of national unification, and those who merge and split, Wang Anshi's crime is also." If it is split and not reunited, Qin Hui's sin is also." It means that it is Wang Anshi's sin that the country has become this hanging appearance, and now it is Qin Hui's sin that this hanging appearance cannot be unified! Look, Wang Anshi has the same reputation as Qin Hui in the Southern Song Dynasty! ）

Seeing so many folds made Zhu Hong's three heads bigger, when he was in Guangdong before, his Shenwu regime was still a grass platform team, and except for a few main officials in the cabinet, other official positions were empty. Now it's different when I'm in Nanjing, everything is the Imperial Academy, the Imperial History of Kedao, and the Guozijian of the Hanlin Academy, all of which are fully compiled. Of course, so many officials, Nanzhili and the literati of Zhejiang contributed most of it, which is why there were so many objections this time.

Zhu Hong couldn't help it, he really wanted to make a big case like Zhu Yuanzhang and kill all these stinky old men who made trouble. But reason told him that he couldn't do that, and now that this environment really killed him, he would immediately become a loner. In the end, Zhu Hongsan had no choice but to ignore these twists and turns, regardless of whether you were or not.

The emperor didn't care about the cabinet, but he was unlucky, Ma Mingyuan was impeached and this matter implicated him, so he took the opportunity to take leave and go home to recuperate. The rest of Tong Yangjia and a few other cabinet elders were very busy, and they could only receive petitioning officials and masses every day, and everything else stopped.

On this day, Tong Yangjia had just sent away a wave of petitioners and was drinking tea in the house, just now in order to dispel what those officials said Tong Yangjia's mouth was dry. At this moment, a clerk came in outside the door and said that Gao Wenbing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

Gao Wenbing? What is he here for? Now only low-level officials are petitioning, and the governors of various provinces, political envoys, and ministers of various central ministries have not spoken out.

This is a big deal, Tong Yangjia didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked Gao Wenbing to come in.

Gao Wenbing is a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli, a native of eastern Zhejiang, and a student of Qian Qianyi. After Gao Wenbing entered the house, he said, "Lord Cifu, Xia Guan has something I want to discuss with Cifu today!" ”

"Gao Shangshu, what's the matter?"

"Lord Jifu, the fleet of the Japanese army has docked in the morning, and this time it has brought back more than 3 million taels of silver and 2.1 million stones of rice!"

Tong Yangjia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gao Wenbing say this, it turned out that this was the case, as long as it was not a petition, but Tong Yangjia was a little unhappy in his heart, now that the cabinet is busy with a pot of porridge, how can he be in the mood to care about what the country transports back? In addition, you Gao Wenbing is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what are you doing in charge of the Ministry of War?

"Lord Gao, isn't this a matter of the Ministry of War? Why did you report to your Ministry of Rites? ”

Gao Wenbing saw that Tong Yangjia was a little displeased, and hurriedly said, "My lord, it's like this!" Originally, this should not be in the care of our Ministry of Rites, but one person who was transported back with the ship was the emperor of the Wa Kingdom! Xia Guan really didn't know what to do, so he came to ask the adults! ”

Tong Yangjia was taken aback when he heard Gao Wenbing say this, how did he arrest the Emperor of the Japanese Kingdom? It's worth it!

You must know that this time the name of sending troops to the country is to borrow money, although the means are a bit bad, but after all, the name is better. Now that this matter is over, how can there be any reason to borrow money to borrow money and borrow all the emperors back.

Tong Yangjia scolded in his heart: Zhao Guoliang, you are really a waste, the emperor will not be over if he is caught and quietly killed, why do you want to get this hot potato back? It's good now, the DPRK and China were originally in a mess for the sake of the new deal, but now it has directly become a paste.

"Lord Gao, can you have Zhao Guoliang's recital in your Ministry of Rites?"

"No, this is exactly the reason why the lower officials came to find adults, there should be Zhao Guoliang's excerpt over there in the military department!"

Tong Yangjia nodded, he was in charge of the Ministry of War, and hurriedly asked people to go to the Ministry of War to see if there was any twist and turn of Zhao Guoliang.

After a while, a clerk's office presented the performance of the military department, and Tong Yangjia opened it to know what was going on.

Here's the thing, after Zhao Guoliang won the Kyushu Island coalition army in Qiumachuan, he repaired on the spot for half a month, and waited until the second batch of supplies arrived, and left Kyushu Island directly on the ship, heading for Honshu Island, which was larger in area and more populous.

And Zhao Guoliang thought very simply, the richest thing in a country is, of course, the palace, this time it is better to go directly to the palace of the Japanese kingdom to grab a handful, is it not better than robbing the poor people in Kyushu? So Zhao Guoliang, who didn't read, plus Yang Shilong, who also didn't read, and Li Tinglong, who didn't read, decided to go to Kyoto in the Japanese Kingdom to go around.

In this way, the fleet left Kyushu and headed north along the coastline, making its first stop on the island of Shikoku.

If Kyushu Island is poor because rabbits don't, then Shikoku is poor at all and doesn't have rabbits. There are only six daimyo on the entire island of Shikoku, and the richest is the Tosa Domain in the Kochi region, and the current daimyo is Yamauchi Tadayu, and Ishitaka is only 200,000 koku.

After Zhao Guoliang broke through Kochi Castle, he got less than 300,000 taels of silver, and the rice was only 200,000 stones, which really discouraged Zhao Guoliang, but this also strengthened Zhao Guoliang's determination to go to Kyoto to grab a handful.

After leaving the Tosa Domain, the fleet headed north along the coastline again, and finally arrived at Osaka, a great fortress in the Wa Kingdom.

Osaka is one of the three major cities of the current Wakoku Kingdom, the other two being Kyoto, where the emperor lived, and Edo, the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, which was later known as Tokyo.

Osaka Castle was built in 1583 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi on the site of Ishiyama Honganji Temple, and after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1598, his successor, Toyotomi Hideyori, moved from Fushimi Castle to the completed Osaka Castle. In 1614, the conflict between the Tokugawa family and the Toyotomi family surfaced, and Tokugawa Ieyasu led a large army to besiege Osaka Castle, which is known as the Osaka Winter Battle. During the battle, the two sides made peace, and the Tokugawa family put forward conditions for the demolition of Ninomaru and Sannomaru, that is, the two and three city walls. Fill in the outer Mizubori and make Osaka Castle a bare castle with only Uchibori and Honmaru. Although the Toyotomi family accepted this humiliating condition for a while, they later broke the contract and re-excavated the Mizubori, giving Tokugawa Ieyasu an excuse to launch the Osaka Summer War the following year, destroying the Toyotomi family, and Osaka Castle was reduced to ashes in the battle.

After the Tokugawa shogunate took control of Osaka Castle, Tokugawa Ieyasu gave it to his grandson, Matsudaira Tadaaki, but in 1619 it was brought under the direct jurisdiction of the shogunate. In 1620, the second shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada, began to rebuild Osaka Castle, which was completed in 1629. The Tokugawa clan destroyed all the stone walls of Osaka Castle and Mizubori built by the Toyotomi family, covered them with several meters of earth, and built a higher stone wall, burying all the remains of Toyotomi Osaka Castle in the ground. The castle tower is set up in a different location, higher in a higher position, and has a completely different design. With the new and more majestic castle of the Tokugawa family, the Toyotomi clan completely buried the memory left by the world and boasted that the shogunate ruled all of Japan more than the Toyotomi clan. As a castle directly under the Tokugawa shogunate, successive shoguns served as the lord of Osaka Castle by themselves, and the Osaka Castle Castle (acting lord) was appointed from among the important daimyo (direct retainers of the Tokugawa family).
