Under the different eyes of everyone, Yang Su stared at Xiao Ming with a serious expression and asked, "Why are you happy when Concubine Liu passed away?" ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu is eighty and six this year, and she is for a happy funeral, why do you cry for such a happy event? The minister heard that Concubine Liu heard the palace people crying before she died, and said to the palace people calmly and smiled, This is a good thing, you need to be happy for me!

In this case, we, as courtiers, should obey Concubine Liu's decree, if we cry and cry as children, even if Concubine Liu sees it, she will definitely be unhappy! The concubine died and the minister was also uncomfortable in his heart, I lost a respected elder, but the minister felt that he should still obey the concubine's last wish and happily send the concubine away! Xiao Ming replied with a respectful smile.

"Lord Xiao is reasonable, the concubine really doesn't allow us to cry for her, saying that it is not to disturb her peace!" Zhang Yan rarely interfered in the affairs of the court, and turned around and said.

Yang Su also nodded when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Ming with appreciation, "Among the hundred officials, only you know Concubine Liu best, and when the concubine dies, only you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and have the law of etiquette to consider Concubine Liu, know her heart, see her sincerity, Xiao Ming is my loyal minister!" ”

"The emperor has a good reputation, and the ministers are just doing their duty!" Xiao Ming hurriedly said.

"Just do your part! I'm afraid that some people can't even do their duty like Zhang Sanmo, the secretary of Dali Temple, as the secretary of Dali Temple, actually shielded the criminal officials, regardless of the law of the Ming Dynasty, and arbitrarily sentenced lightly, fortunately, there are Jinyi guards to supervise hundreds of officials for me, otherwise I don't know how long I will be deceived by such traitors! Yang Su looked at the officials coldly.

The ministers lowered their heads one after another, secretly scolding the group of thieves in Jinyiwei, who wantonly arrested Dali Siqing and sent him to prison, and was even more dissatisfied with Yang Su, the emperor actually didn't trust them, and let Jinyiwei's group of people monitor them.

Jin Yiwei is a knife in the emperor's hand, and the officials in the court cannot interfere with the Jin Yiwei at all, so that the Jin Yiwei can directly deal with major cases involving court officials and present them to the emperor without going through the cabinet. In addition, there is a precedent for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, so the officials in the DPRK and China are afraid of Jinyiwei.

However, the scope of torture of the notorious Jinyiwei was actually only aimed at officials and doctors, and generally did not interrogate and arrest ordinary people.

Ordinary people's criminal and civil cases are only handled through normal justice, which is also the shackles that the emperor gave to the brocade clothes.

However, Jinyiwei is notorious among the people, and can stop children crying at night, this group of literati has undoubtedly made great efforts in the past few hundred years!

"The concubine collapsed, Xiao Ming smiled a piece of loyalty, and he should be rewarded for his grief like a mourner." Yang Su looked at Xiao Ming with satisfaction, and said in the stunned eyes of everyone, "The position of Dali Siqing is temporarily vacant, and the cabinet has not yet drafted personnel, so Xiao Ming will take it!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Ming knelt down with a heavy face and thanked him.

Wen Tiren, Wen Zhenmeng, and other cabinet ministers couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they could be promoted by smiling well, which can be called a miracle in the world. But they couldn't think of a reason to veto the emperor's will. The cabinet can refuse to draft the decree, but that is when the emperor's will is absurd, they either think about national affairs or their own posthumous reputation, so they take a big risk to disobey the emperor!

Just like the dispute over the country's capital back then, the ministers and Wanli have struggled for decades, but Xiao Ming's current position as the country's son of the priest can serve as the secretary of Dali Temple, not to mention that the emperor appreciates his loyalty, and there is righteousness in which they can't resist the decree at all.

The party officials who originally followed Xiao Ming were secretly happy in their hearts, and the secret way was really with the right person, Lord Xiao was really in the Sacred Heart, they were still wondering if Lord Xiao was crazy, and he actually went to university openly in the mourning hall of Concubine Liu, but now it seems that they have to admire Xiao Ming, and his means are superb.

"The emperor has one more thing to do about Concubine Liu!" Xiao Minggang was promoted and raised, and he was very active.

"Quasi-play!"

"Although Concubine Liu is only the concubine of the first emperor, with the respect of the concubine, the minister thinks that she should not be buried in the tomb of the concubine but should be buried with the first emperor!"

As soon as Xiao Ming's words fell, the imperial historians couldn't help but make a generous statement, pointed at Xiao Ming's nose and scolded: "Xiao Ming intends to induce the emperor, and it is disrespectful to disturb the ancestral emperor's mausoleum and disturb the peace of the first emperor!" ”

"The first emperor and the queen mother were buried together, the cemetery built at the beginning could not accommodate three people, and now if you want to be buried together, you must rebuild the imperial mausoleum, Xiao Ming's move is absolutely inappropriate!" Wen Zhenmeng took the lead in retorting fiercely.

"Although Concubine Liu is a concubine, she is not the queen mother, and the minister thinks that she should be buried as a concubine, and after the sacrifice, it is a perfect strategy, which is not only in line with etiquette, but also can be filial piety to the emperor, and will not provoke the world's criticism!" Wen Tiren also objected.

"Your Majesty, the concubine once said to the ministers, don't do a big funeral after death, just choose a vacant land next to the emperor's mausoleum for burial, now the state affairs are difficult and there is no need to spend more, please think twice!" Zhongsu Bo Liu Dai knelt down and pleaded with Yang Su.

Liu Dai, as the younger brother of Concubine Liu, is of course true, although Yang Su feels guilty about Concubine Liu, but the major affairs of the court cannot be caused by his temperament, not to mention that in his opinion, it doesn't matter where he is buried after death, the Yin World Dragon Court of the Ming Dynasty has already been broken, and the soul has nowhere to go after the death of Concubine Liu, isn't it even more sad, so Yang Su did not prepare a yin spirit object for her to accompany her to be buried to help her become a ghost, and when the time comes, why care too much about people dying like lights.

"Before the emperor came, the concubine said that she wanted to go underground to see the emperor!" Zhang Yan reminded lightly.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Liu did say this!" Empress Zhou also said.

Yang Su glanced at Zhang Yan and Queen Zhou, and he had to consider the opinions of Zhang Yan and Queen Zhou, and made a decision in his heart.

"The concubine is my grandmother!" Yang Su pursed his lips and said.

"What the emperor said is very true, the concubine, as the emperor's grandmother, is in charge of the harem with the imperial concubine, how can she be buried with the rites of the concubine, where do you want to put the emperor?" Xiao Ming loudly blamed the officials.

The officials of Xiao Ming and his party also spoke one after another, praising the emperor's filial piety, and asking the queen mother to bury Concubine Liu.

"The emperor's move is absolutely impossible!" Wen Zhen Meng was dumbfounded, blowing his beard and aggressively admonishing.

The Yanguan group seized the opportunity to exert their authority, they collectively knelt in front of Concubine Liu's spiritual seat and wept bitterly, counting Concubine Liu's past exploits and her deeds of not doing a big funeral to save silver taels for the imperial court, crying over and over again, the scene was grand and terrifying, but it was not tragic, but extremely funny.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, and she opened her mouth and said to Yang Su, "Your Majesty, the concubine doesn't want to listen to people crying in front of her!" ”

"Don't retreat! This is my family affair, how can my grandmother be buried with the rites of ordinary concubines when she dies, and today the ministers have already worshipped, so let's all retreat! "Yang Su now has soldiers and money, and naturally has a tough attitude, and directly orders the ministers to retreat.

Where are the hundred officials willing to agree, they are deaf and dazzled and stand in place pretending to be confused, and the officials even kneel on the ground and pull Yang Su's dragon robe to wipe their noses and continue to cry, but they don't agree!

Yang Su frowned and said coldly: "If there are hundreds of officials who lose their honor in front of the palace, they should be charged with a court staff and expelled from the palace!" ”

The officials were not afraid, and continued to pull Yang Sulong's robe to wipe their tears, shouting the name of Concubine Liu, and their voices were even more sad, crying so earth-shattering!

"Cao Huachun, drag them out with a hundred rods and send them to prison!" Yang Su ordered.

Immediately, a captain in brocade clothes dragged the officials down and hit the board!

A board can't help but scare the officials who want to do something, and it's always a good thing to have a board next to a prison cell! Suddenly, other officials came one after another and wanted to come over and pull Yang Sulong's robe!
