Chapter 602: But it can be forgiving and forgiving
When Qin Li entered Kunning Palace, a group of old ministers had already retreated. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Empress Dowager Zhang naturally wants to give enough face to the old ministers. Since everyone was unwilling to discuss matters with a seventeen-year-old young man like Qin Li, they had to summon them alone. Anyway, in the Queen Mother's mind, Qin Li has unique opinions on things every time, and they all seem to be reasonable.
Qin Li and the Queen Mother finished the ceremony, and the Queen Mother gave the seat very kindly. Then the Queen Mother briefly told Qin Li about the process of discussing with the courtiers today. Empress Dowager Zhang let out a long sigh for the last time and said, "Jiang Bin is a heinous crime, and some of the courtiers say that they want to punish the nine clans, and some say that they want to punish the ten clans. Alas! Is this palace really difficult? I don't know how to deal with it, Xiao Li, in your opinion, what do you think should be done? ”
Zhu Jiu Clan, Zhu Ten Clan, didn't the Queen Mother let me choose between the two? Qin Li thought secretly.
His eyes glanced at the Queen Mother slightly, the Queen Mother's face was still the same ancient expression, Qin Li really couldn't guess the Queen Mother's thoughts.
Since you can't guess it, then don't guess at all. Anyway, Qin Liren spoke softly, and the Queen Mother might not necessarily listen to it. But no matter how you say it, you have to say what you think, right? Although Daming has not reached the point of freedom of speech, I, Qin Li, as a traverser, have to do my best to make it develop in this direction, right?
Thinking of this, Qin Li said, "Queen Mother, Xiao Li is about to talk." But what Xiao Li said will not satisfy the Queen Mother. Xiao Li thought that Jiang Bin was heinous and should be beheaded. It is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans, and it is not impossible to punish the ten clans. I, the Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty, is the other party's filial piety, and he has implemented the punishment of the ten clans. Thinking about it, even if Jiang Bin is punished by the Ten Clans, it will not cause many people to criticize.
However, Xiao Li thought that the treatment of Jiang Bin could not punish the nine clans, let alone the ten clans! Speaking of this, Qin Li deliberately paused and secretly observed the Queen Mother's expression. It seems that Qin Li already has his own opinions, and he has expected it, so the Queen Mother's expression has not changed much. just frowned slightly, and said casually, "Say, tell me your reasoning." ”
"Queen Mother, in the eyes of the ministers, the Nine Clans are torture, and the Ten Clans are even more torture. In history, there are countless people who have been punished by the Nine Clans, and it seems that the only people from the Ten Clans are Fang Xiaoru, right?
The Queen Mother, please think about it, Jiang Bin deliberately rebelled, and he naturally has his henchmen. Of course, some henchmen really want to follow Jiang Bin to rebel and seek greater wealth. We must not be soft on such people. But there are also people who are fascinated by the ghost for a while, and are deceived by Jiang Bin's thief. For example, the commanders of the Fourth Outer Army, Li Cong and Xu Tai.
At this time, the two of them had already changed their ways, and they wanted to continue to serve the Ming Dynasty and manage the Outer Fourth Army. In fact, at present, the Fourth Outer Army has left them, and it is really a joke. After all, the Fourth Outer Army started from the border army, and it is said that Jiang Bin and them brought it out. It is true that the outer four armies are loyal to the imperial court, but their feelings for Jiang Bin, Xu Tai, and Li Cong are also real, and they are genuine!
The Nine Clans, the Ten Clans will inevitably involve Li Cong and Xu Tai. Once the two of them find out that they are going to be beheaded by the imperial court, what will they think, and what will they do next?
Queen Mother, people are selfish. Although now the imperial court controls their families. But what if they don't care about their families? Does the imperial court now have enough strength to deal with the outer four armies?
But if the imperial court does not kill Xu Tai and Li Cong, I think the two of them will definitely be grateful to the imperial court, and they will definitely be loyal to the Ming Dynasty. This is an obvious thing, and how the court should choose is actually only a matter of thought.
Besides, Jiang Bin rebelled, did his family know about it? Do you all support him? As far as Xiao Chen knows, even Jiang Bin's wife has repeatedly persuaded Jiang Bin not to come nonsense. As for his concubines, Xiao Chen also knew that they were all people with a heart for Lilu. They were hoping that Jiang Bin's rebellion would succeed.
There are also Jiang Bin's relatives, as far as the minister knows, Jiang Bin has become a big official and has power in his hands, but he ignores those poor relatives in his countryside, and even breaks off the relationship. This is to say that the nine clans of Zhu Jiangbin, they are bound to be among them. If they really die, they are not wronged.
Xiao Chen also knew that Jiang Bin had always had close contacts with the White Lotus Sect, and according to Gu Dayong's father-in-law, it was the White Lotus Sect that made trouble in the capital. Speaking of which, this White Lotus Sect is naturally among the Ten Clans.
But the Queen Mother, you know that the White Lotus Sect has harmed the Ming Dynasty for many years, and the imperial court has never done anything good to them. Why? Isn't it because the White Lotus Sect is in the shadows and the court is in the light? Now if it is really ordered to arrest them, I think they will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, and the minister wants to ask the queen mother, does the court have the strength to deal with it now?
In short, all of this shows that the Nine Clans are not good, and the Ten Clans are not good. The minister thought that Jiang Bin's crime was unforgivable, and that he could be punished with the most severe punishment for himself, his three sons, and his concubines. Including Jiang Bin's staunch supporters, the same party. As for other people who seem to be related, but are actually irrelevant, let's let them go.
Hehe! What about the Queen Mother, but she can be forgiving and forgiving. The current Ming court is not the time to make a big move! ”
After Qin Li finished speaking in one breath, the Queen Mother had been listening carefully.
After a long time, the Queen Mother waved her hand weakly and said, "Xiao Li, this palace knows, you can step down!" ”
She did not make any comments.
Qin Li retreated as he said.
Outside the palace gate, Gao Zhong had actually been waiting for Qin Li silently. Gao Zhong is actually very concerned about this matter. He knew that when the Queen Mother asked Qin Li's opinion, it was an incomparable trust and appreciation for Qin Li.
But for Qin Li, this is not a good thing. Zhu Jiu clan, it is bound to offend the Zhu Shi clan faction headed by Lu Wan, the secretary of the military department. Let's talk about the Ten Clans, it will naturally offend the Nine Clans faction headed by Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
You know, this is not as simple as the Zhu Jiu and Zhu Shi clans. This reflects the contest between the two forces. In fact, are the Zhu Jiu clan and the Zhu Shi clan really that important? Naturally, it is not as important as the contest between the two forces.
In Gao Zhong's mind, this is a thankless task. But Qin Li still needs to stand aside in the end. Gao Zhong even thought that since he was Qin Li's friend, no matter what Qin Li chose in this two-choice choice, he would firmly stand by Qin Li's side. Countless facts have proved that following Xiao Li is always the most correct.
But what Gao Zhong didn't expect was that Qin Li didn't even occupy any side. actually said such a slight punishment for Jiang Bin. This puzzled Gao Zhong.
Qin Li has always had a grudge against Jiang Bin, but this time, how can it seem that Qin Li is saying good things for Jiang Bin.
But Gao Zhong thought about it carefully, Xiao Li still didn't have any selfish intentions, he was completely considering the overall situation.
Alas! It's up to the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother really agreed with Qin Li's statement, then Qin Li would be able to completely gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty this time. (To be continued.) )
