Chapter 29 Punishment should be deserved
Yang Hao and Wang Huazhen are both important figures who have passed through Liaodong, but they are also important promoters of the complete corruption of Liao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Needless to say, Yang Ho said that in the Battle of Salhu, the elite army of the Ming Dynasty was wiped out, and he himself actually bribed the courtiers at the time, and only got a punishment of cutting his nationality and returning to his hometown.
In this way, in the battle of Salhu, hundreds of thousands of elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty were lost, but the culprit Yang Hao was not punished as he deserved.
Wang Huazhen is the same, Xiong Tingbi passed through Liaodong, and the situation in Liaodong gradually recovered, but Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi did not get along, Wang Huazhen had the support of the Donglin Party, and Xiong Tingbi was without a party and no faction, fighting with the Donglin Party alone, and was finally impeached by the group, Xiong Tingbi had a hot temper, and in a fit of anger, he resigned and returned to Beijing, and the situation in Liaodong deteriorated.
Wang Huazhen, who drove away Xiong Tingbi, just became the Liaodong Economic Strategy, Houjin attacked in a big way, Wang Huazhen wanted to unite the Mongolian tribes but failed, simply abandoned Liaodong, led his descendants, and fled directly back to Shanhaiguan, the situation in Liaodong has deteriorated since then, if it were not for Sun Chengzong's efforts to turn the tide, the Liaoxi Corridor would have long ceased to be owned by the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Zhu Daming knows all these things, and now he is even more angry when he thinks about it.
The most infuriating thing is what Qu Shiyun said, Xiong Tingbi is guilty of acting rashly, but he has also been punished more severely than ever before, and after being beheaded, he also passed on the nine sides.
However, Yang Hao and Wang Huazhen, who committed more crimes than him, can not die, and live in peace and prosperity at home.
If such a thing continues to exist, what kind of justice is there, and who will fight for the world of the Ming Dynasty from now on? This is also something that Zhu Daming cannot tolerate.
Next, Qu Shiyun talked about the eunuch party again. It is to the effect that Wei Zhongxian was ambushed, and his henchmen, such as the Five Tigers and Five Biao, were also severely punished, but some of the courtiers who were attached to Wei Zhongxian before had more disasters and crimes than the Five Tigers and Five Biao, but they had not yet received the punishment they deserved.
He talked about Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji and other early eunuch figures who were once the first assistant.
Except for Huang Liji, who has just been Zhishi, the others have been Zhishi for four or five years, but now these people are still alive.
Finally, Qu Shiyun said: "There are many injustices in the world, but if you want to eliminate injustices, please start with the six injustices that the minister said."
"The six grievances that the minister said are not for the minister's own selfishness, but for the Ming Dynasty. If Your Majesty intends to cheer up, he must first refresh the rule of officials, and if he wants to refresh the rule of officials, he must first correct the atmosphere of the world.
"If righteousness is not extended, justice is not promoted, merit is not rewarded, and there is no punishment for mistakes, the ministers are afraid that the chaos in the world will be endless. Your Majesty, please be clear. ”
After saying this, Qu Shiyun knelt on the ground again and bowed.
The ministers in the palace were a little shocked, they really didn't expect Qu Shiyun to turn over the old accounts more than ten years ago.
Zhu Daming looked at the ministers coldly, the scene was cold for a while, and suddenly another person came out of the ranks, stepped forward and knelt down to salute like a ceremony, and then said: "The deputy capital of the minister, Shi Jia Jichun, seconded the proposal. Please decree that the crimes of such a person who have brought calamity to the country and the people shall be investigated, and if a courtier commits a serious crime, if he can be exempted from punishment only by causing a man or begging for an old man, then where will the court be punished and where the justice of heaven will be placed. Your Majesty, please be clear. ”
As soon as Jia Jichun appeared, many people in the Wenchen train whispered and discussed, and as soon as he finished speaking, the discussion suddenly started.
Zhu Daming glanced at Cao Huachun, and Cao Huachun immediately stepped forward and shouted: "In front of Your Majesty, you will talk to each other, wait for the ministers, what kind of system!" ”
Cao Huachun was very happy when he said this.
I think that when he was a little eunuch, he was often scolded by civil officials, and when Wei Zhongxian was the master of ceremonies, it was common to scold hundreds of officials, and now it is finally his turn, but it is a pity that the palm print of the master of ceremonies is also a lot lower than in the past.
The emperor was very diligent and did not give him the opportunity to seize power at all, plus the celebrant and the eunuchs were not fuel-efficient lamps. Fang Zhenghua is in charge of Dongchang and Huangzhuang Huangdian, Gao Shiming is in charge of Gong Weisi, Wang Chengen is in charge of Qianqing Palace and Inner Library, although after the purge of the inner court, his authority among the eunuchs in the inner court has reached its peak, and he also enjoys the feeling of being feared very much, but in his heart he knows that he is far from being compared with Wei Zhongxian back then, and he never dared to think that he would have Wei Zhongxian's powerful position that day, after all, the current emperor is by no means a good stubble.
Therefore, to be able to have an opportunity to get the emperor's authorization, stand on the Jinluan Palace, and scold the civil and military officials, he felt that this time alone was already regarded as a glorious ancestor, and he was ashamed of what happened in front of the civil officials before.
After Cao Huachun finished scolding, calm returned to the palace.
Zhu Daming said to Jia Jichun and Qu Shiqing: "Jia Aiqing, Qu Aiqing, get up and speak." ”
Seeing that the two of them got up and entered the ranks, Zhu Daming said again: "Jia Aiqing and Qu Aiqing, who do not hesitate to die for the interests of the imperial court, are models for your generation. From now on, whoever violates the laws of the court will be punished severely. Only by punishing the offender can it play an edifying role. ”
After saying this, he looked at Shi Feng and said, "Shi Aiqing, where are Yang Hao, Wang Huazhen, and Gao Di now?" ”
This time, Shi Fenglai was much calmer, stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Back to Your Majesty, not long after the defeat of Salhu, Yang Hao escaped, that is, he was arrested and imprisoned. As for Wang Huazhen, she is now idle in her hometown. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Daming looked at the ministers, and then asked, "What do Shi Aiqing and other ministers think they should do?" ”
Shi Feng said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since Yang Hao himself is dead, it seems that there is no need to be held accountable, and Wang Huazhen, the minister thinks that he can order the division to be arrested, and the punishment is correct, and the crime is judged according to the law." ”
Zhu Daming basically agreed with this statement, and then looked at the remaining three cabinet ministers, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guoyi, and Sun Chengzong bowed down one after another and said: "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”
Zhang Ruitu and Li Guowei have little to do with Wang Huazhen, since they have lost their teachers and humiliated the country, it is natural to be guilty.
As for Sun Chengzong, he is even more happy to see it, after all, he was also one of the parties involved in the events of that year, Wang Huazhen's inaction or misconduct led to the instant deterioration of the situation in Liaodong, and such a person should have such an end.
Zhu Daming then said: "In this case, I have made up my mind, Yang Hao is dead, and the mistakes made are no longer investigated, Wang Huazhen, as the strategy of Liaodong, actually left his post without permission in the face of the attack of Jianyu, and took the lead in escaping. The Ministry of Punishment was ordered to send personnel, take the guards in brocade clothes, etc., and quickly go to Wang Huazhen's hometown, and the ministry agreed to convict and punish him. ”
After saying this, Zhu Daming paused for a while, and then said to Li Guowei: "Li Aiqing, before, I thought that you would be jointly responsible for investigating and handling the case of the eunuch party with the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, but now you have a clue?" ”
Li Guoyi stepped forward and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the so-called five tigers and five biaos under Wei Rebellion have now been ambushed, and the ministers have been ordered to check Wei Rebellion's stolen goods, although Wei Rebellion is illiterate, but he has kept a large number of letters and account books, and the ministers have been together with the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, according to the book verification, and will be reported to Your Majesty in a few days." ”
Of course, it is not such a simple matter to investigate and deal with the eunuch party, and it cannot be done overnight, since the basis has been found, then it is good to follow the map, so he said to Li Guowei: "Qing and others to investigate and deal with the eunuch party are related to the hearts of the people in the world, and the responsibility is heavy. As for Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, and others mentioned by Qu Aiqing, they can be arrested in the case first, and the crimes can be judged according to the law after being verified. If the court does not uphold justice, there will be no justice in the world. I will never wronged a good person, but I will never spare a sinner either. ”
As soon as Zhu Daming's words stopped, the ministers in the palace knelt down one after another, and soon knelt down, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" ”
