Chapter 116: The Role of Law

Zhang Weixian screamed in his heart: "You are crazy, you are crazy." "An emperor who thinks that the emperor should not enjoy privileges cannot have any other explanation than to use crazy explanations.

Zhu Youxiao said in his heart: "If you know that I am a five-good young man born in New China and raised under the red flag, you will not be surprised." ”

Zhang Weixian said: "Since Your Majesty thinks that the emperor can't enjoy privileges, then the old minister is willing to die, and the old minister will watch from the ground to see when His Majesty will say this to the people of the whole country, and the old minister will keep waiting, hoping that Your Majesty will not let the old minister wait too long." ”

Zhu Youxiao said solemnly: "I won't let you wait too long, you can go with peace of mind." As long as your family members are not involved in the rebellion, I will not blame them. ”

Zhang Weixian was overjoyed, knelt on the ground and said: "The old minister was confused for a while, and he deserved death for doing such a rebellious thing." The old minister has thanked His Majesty Long En here, and the minister can go with confidence. ”

After Wang Qia came in, his eyes turned to the sky, and his nostrils were eager to breathe. Zhu Youxiao smiled: "It seems that you are very unconvinced, what is the reason why you want to rebel?" ”

Wang Qia sneered: "It's just a tyrant." ”

Wei Zhongxian went up and slapped him and knocked him to the ground. Zhu Youxiao said: "I turned out to be a tyrant, but this is the first time I have heard of it. ”

Wang Qia wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve, slowly stood up and said: "Of course you think that you are not a tyrant, others have committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and their families are not implicated, and the minister is openly against you, you just drive them home." Such a monarch, of course, everyone will not think that you are a tyrant, but will only say that you are a benevolent monarch and a wise monarch. But in our eyes, you are a tyrant in the truest sense of the word. ”

Zhu Youxiao noticed that he was talking about us instead of me, so he smiled and said, "Who thinks I am a tyrant, you can tell me." Where I am and where I am is is curious. ”

Wang Qia said: "You have changed the laws of your ancestors, distorted the words of the sages, and raised the subordinates and craftsmen to the same status as scholars, so that the foundation of my Ming Dynasty will be hollowed out by you, and what foreign enemies can never do will be easily done by you, the emperor." The destruction of the Ming Dynasty is because of your rough behavior, you are not a tyrant, who is a tyrant. As for those who think you are a tyrant, there are all the people of insight in this world. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "If I overthrow the tyrant, no one will investigate Wang Zhi's crimes." ”

Wang Qia said angrily: "The matter of fire consumption has existed since ancient times. You have this trumped-up crime to punish my Ming officials, doesn't it just prove that you want to dig your own foundation? ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "10 million yuan is minted a year, and each copper coin is forty percent less copper than the copper coin ten years ago, and thirty percent lighter weight, is this fire consumption?" Your family's fire consumption is really different. The 540,000 taels of silver that was found from his house was his five years? Is it the production of the 500 acres of land in your hometown? Or is it your gift to your brother? ”

Wang Qia said: "The winner is king, I have nothing to say." I only hate that I have not been able to kill the tyrant and save the great tomorrow. Today, since I am already a prisoner under the ranks, if you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to chop, I frowned, and I am not worthy of the surname Wang. ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Don't worry, I will kill you, as well as your brother." I hope that when the time comes, your brother will have the same heroism as you, and both of them will live up to your surname. ”

Wang Qia shouted: "The crime of giving up your brother does not lead to death, and what you said about the crimes according to the law, don't they all count?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I am a tyrant, isn't it normal for a tyrant to do anything?" Not only your two brothers, but you also have three brothers, twelve nephews, your two sons, and nineteen Wang family heroes were chopped off together, and everyone did not frown, and it will definitely become a beautiful talk for the ages. ”

Wang Qia was greatly panicked, he knew that he must die, but according to the "Da Ming Law", Wang Zhi is not a crime that must be killed, and the crime of Zhulian has been canceled in the law, and he doesn't want the emperor to want to destroy his Wang family this time. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are confused, please let your Majesty's family go." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly: "Why do you want to let your family go?" If your rebellion is successful, will you spare my family? ”

Wang Qia kept kowtowing, and blood kept dripping from his forehead: "Your Majesty, you personally presided over the revision of the "Da Ming Law", and the matter of Zhulian has been canceled, why do you use it again when the ministers commit crimes?" ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Then tell me, is my revision of the law a good thing or a bad thing?" ”

Wang Qia said: "Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles, of course this is a good thing. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "You have committed a crime now, but you have found that what can save the life of your Wang family is the law that I have changed. Why do we have to wait until we die to understand this? According to the law of the ancestors, the Wang family will be full of copied and beheaded, according to the law I amended, your Wang family can keep the incense, but you rebelled because you opposed me to amending the law of the ancestors, this is really a wonderful irony. ”

"Don't tell me with those righteous and awe-inspiring words that you rebel because I didn't do well. If I hadn't driven you out of the capital to serve as an inspector, if I hadn't arrested your brother, how dare you rebel? I am most annoyed by people who do wrong things and have to find excuses, you rotten Confucians, what you are best at is throwing the pot, the fault is someone else's, and you are forced to do it. Who to deceive, you will not be smarter than anyone, and those who treat everyone else as fools are real fools. ”

Wang Qia didn't dare to say a word, but kept kowtowing and apologizing. Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "No need, since I have revised the law, I will not do anything to go back on my word." Take it down. ”

Wang Qia kowtowed a few more times, and after thanking the emperor for his great kindness, he lowered his head and was escorted out by Dongchang Fanzi.

The last one to come in was Huang Taiji. Dongchang put on an anklet and a flail for him, but he looked calm, and after coming in, he respectfully saluted Zhu Youxiao and said, "Jianzhou Sibeile has seen the great tomorrow. ”

Wei Zhongxian was furious, and slapped him on the leg with a stick and said, "What kind of etiquette are you doing?" Kneel and salute. ”

Huang Taiji fell to the ground, but he took advantage of the situation to lie down on the ground and said: "I can't put my hands together, so naturally I can't do it." How can you kneel if you have chains on your legs? The factory blamed him too much. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Sibeile is reasonable, but this is lying on the ground, is it ready to cheat?" ”

Huang Taiji slowly got up, he was wearing a flail, and it was very difficult to climb, but he finally stood up, Zhu Youxiao said: "Give him a seat." ”
