Chapter 345: Passing the first nine sides, Zhengde Liang Dao
As soon as Zhengde's words fell, the two groups of courtiers immediately twitched, as long as they really saw these two people, the last mystery of the night of thunder and fire would be solved. 【】
"Lord Liu! Master Gu! ”
"Liu Butang, you are ......"
However, when the long-awaited Liu and Gu really appeared, everyone was taken aback and could hardly believe their eyes.
Gu Zuo is okay, Liu Daxia has always been known for his fierceness, his voice is very loud, and his movements are also fast and powerful, whether he likes him or not, this is undeniably fair.
But the Liu Daxia in front of him was gray-faced, his eyes were scattered, he couldn't even walk, he relied on two wrestlers to get in, and when he saw such a scene, as long as he was familiar with Liu Daxia, he was horrified in his heart.
This tough old man has always been competitive and strong, how can he show weakness in front of everyone like this? There is only one possibility that this situation will occur, and that is to be severely punished in the imperial prison, which is why he is weakened like this.
When someone noticed Gu Zuo, they were even more shocked, Gu Shilang was worse than Liu Daxia, he couldn't even open his eyes, and when he was brought in, his head was also swaying, as if he had completely lost control of his body.
Although there was no harm from the appearance of the two, the courtiers were all angry for a while, not only for the two in front of them, but also for themselves, if even the six ministers could not guarantee their own safety, then the risk of being an official was too great, right?
The most excited among the crowd is Zhang Fuhua, the imperial history of the left capital. You know, Zhengde's first target is to point to him, if he doesn't hurry up and think of a way, what happened to Liu and Gu will happen to him soon, as long as he thinks about it a little, he is already trembling, he is from a family, how can he have suffered such a big crime?
"Your Majesty, it's a ...... to be a doctor who can't be punished."
"Your Majesty, the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, how can you use torture at will?"
"Your Majesty......"
Driven by the anger that was transformed into fear, the Taihe Hall was full of people in an instant, and the ministers quarreled together, and there was a great tendency to ask the teacher for guilt.
"Humph! Are you going to rebel? Zhengde suddenly snorted coldly and shouted, "Where are the guards? ”
"The guards are here!"
Zhengde's voice is not very high, but there are many people who respond, and I don't know how they heard it, and how they coordinated, dozens of people in the hall responded in unison, and then, there were thousands of people outside the hall who responded violently, and instantly suppressed the noise in the Taihe Palace.
The roar echoed in the hall, looking at the young men standing with sticks around them, all the ministers were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and then they were even more chilled. Before the court meeting began, everyone's attention was focused on the emperor, and they didn't pay attention to the surroundings, until Zhengde summoned the guards, they found out that it was not the forbidden army that was on duty in and around the Taihe Hall today, but the guards!
Originally, in their eyes, these teenagers were just a joke, just a trick made up by a courtier on a whim. But after that night, no one dared to take these teenagers seriously, and they broke through the three battalions of forbidden troops in a row and swept the Forbidden City, such a record made people have to look sideways.
In the description of the rout of the Forbidden Army, these fanatical teenagers chanting long live are like their leaders, a bunch of crazy people, and as long as they receive orders, they will not hesitate to carry them out.
Therefore, the courtiers will be cold in their hearts, since it is these teenagers on duty, then it is obvious that the emperor has made the worst plan, even if it is a massacre, presumably these little madmen will not waver, even if the target of the slaughter is the scholars.
"Youli is not loud, I speak so kindly, what are you yelling about?" Zhengde waved his hand triumphantly and said proudly: "More than people? Do you see that there are many of you or that there are many of me? As soon as you shout, you can hear the sound even outside the capital, can you compare? ”
The ministers looked at each other, please, you are the emperor, how can you talk like a hooligan in the market? This is the court, okay, who compares you to this?
"Your Majesty, although it is an ancient rite to punish the doctor, the treatment of court officials is also related to the decency of the court, Liu Butang and Gu Shilang may have something wrong, but no matter how big the culpability is, it is just a matter of Zhishi, why shouldn't such a heavy punishment be imposed?" It was Li Dongyang who spoke, and his words were still stable and steady.
"Punishment? Qian Ning, did you torture the two criminals? Although Li Dongyang played a consistent level, Zhengde was no longer Wuxia Ameng, he didn't see any lag in speech, and directly questioned Qian Ning, and the words were even eliminated, and by the way, the identities of Liu and Gu were once again confirmed, and the criminals were re-determined.
"Wechen don't dare, the emperor has a word first, let the factory guard enforce the law in a civilized manner, Wechen is not those who violate the law, how dare he disobey?" Up and down, although Qian Ning's tone was respectful, he also ridiculed the courtiers by the way.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can you follow the example of the people in the market, make such a vain statement, Liu Butang ...... "The Buddha still has a three-point fire surname, not to mention that Li Dongyang is not a good-tempered person, and he was also angry when he saw Zhengde and Qian Ning singing and reversing black and white.
"Scholar Li, my father often told me: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, it is knowing, you don't know the situation, you don't know the situation, you talk nonsense, this is not the demeanor of a scholar." Zhengde said with an innocent face: "That's good, I call the imperial doctor, well, or how about finding a doctor from the capital and examining the injuries of the two criminals?" Channing, go get someone to do it. ”
"Yes."
"......" Li Dongyang was at a loss, although he was resourceful, he still didn't understand what medicine was sold in Zhengde's gourd, which was completely unreasonable?
In fact, he didn't have to ask Liu and Gu for an explanation, in order to appease the emperor's anger, someone always had to sacrifice, and the crimes that these two people deserved were also suffered, and they were stolen by both people, so it would be difficult to be spared.
But their sacrifice should be valuable, if not completely extinguish the emperor's anger, it should have a corresponding weakening effect. Therefore, when the ministers were shocked by the murderous aura of the guards and all the horses were together, Li Dongyang stepped forward to bargain with Zhengde, in order to weaken Zhengde's sharpness.
In fact, he also found out, including the three-day punishment station, Zhengde also had the intention of weakening the courtiers' spirit, although Zhengde's plan succeeded, but Li Dongyang did not feel frustrated, because since Zhengde was using a strategy, it meant that things were discussed.
Thinking that Xie Hong also discovered the movements of Liu Jian and others, so no matter how crazy he was, he had some scruples in his heart, and he didn't dare to completely go against the grain, so as not to provoke the world to rebel and cause turmoil in the artifact.
However, negotiation, like war, requires knowing oneself and knowing the other, and now Li Dongyang is completely unable to judge the action patterns of Zhengde and Xie Hong, and all speculations are not very realistic, where can such a major event be negligent? Therefore, he is also at a loss.
Take the matter in front of him as an example, he wanted to entangle, but Zhengde didn't entangle with him, but asked a doctor to examine his injuries, did he want to coerce the doctor to cheat? Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jian, Liu Jian bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is familiar with many famous doctors in Beijing, can you ......?"
"Scholar Liu, please take care of yourself." Zhengde waved his hand disappreciably.
Both sides went to ask for a doctor, Li Dongyang couldn't think about it, and inadvertently glanced at Liu and Gu, and was surprised to find that although it was related to their careers and even their surnames, the two of them completely ignored the movements around them, just lowered their heads, looking drowsy, and the fans holding the two of them moved a few times from time to time, making the two of them sleepy and couldn't.
Don't...... A thought flashed in Li Dongyang's heart, but he was a little incredulous, he had never heard of such torture since ancient times? But since the emperor is not afraid of the injury, and the two of them describe it like this, their guesses are still very reliable, but ...... His brows were twisted again, even if it was very close to the facts, but it was just speculation, what if it wasn't? What's more, although the bad trick of not letting people sleep, although vicious, does not seem to be a punishment! At least it's not in any allusions, and even if it were to be based on that, it didn't seem so convincing.
Just thinking about it, the figure at the entrance of the hall flashed, Li Dongyang looked up, but it was the doctor who arrived, he was too engrossed in it, and he didn't notice the sound.
"Emperor Qiqi, my lords, the two adults don't have any scars on their bodies, although Lord Liu has some skin injuries, but they are not much of a problem, and it will be good to raise them for a few days."
Several doctors had their own ways to come, and they gathered around Liu and Gu for a while, and finally the most famous imperial doctor opened his mouth. As he spoke, several other people nodded their heads and made footnotes to his words.
"It's been a few hard work, so let's step back." Zhengde nodded at a few people with a smile, and several doctors were flattered, and they humbly withdrew.
Without waiting for the courtiers to react, Zhengde tapped the table twice with his fingers, and said: "Since the two criminals are not injured, then this confession can be approved. ”
"The old slave obeys." The fat man is now not what it used to be, although he has no culture, but he has become the commander of the ceremonial supervisor and the emperor, and under the transfer of qi and the body, the majesty of the fat man has also trembled a lot, and he respectfully picked up a piece of paper from the table, stood with his feet indispensable, and read it in a frustrated manner:
"I am guilty of Liu Daxia, after several dynasties, the official worships Shangshu, and the grace is not ungenerous, but it is ......"
He read a little slowly, and the person who stood in the front row and had good eyes was anxious, so he stood on tiptoe and looked around, wanting to see what was written on the confession, it didn't matter, they immediately made a major discovery, that is, the fat man took down the piece of paper, no wonder he read it so slowly, it was simply memorization! Just like that, you can also be a palm print eunuch?
Of course, this is only a subsection. The courtiers were a little dazed by Zhengde's undisciplined and chaotic routines, and no one even had time to refute Zhengde's words that there was no injury on his body and that the confession could be accurate, and how could anyone pay attention to such trivial matters as the eunuch who was illiterate?
“…… greedy for military salaries, resulting in the border soldiers not covering their bodies, it is difficult to eat and eat, and this is one of the sinners; The entrustment is ineffective, and there are many failures at the border gates, resulting in the misery of the living beings, and the second offender is guilty; Selling weapons privately for personal gain...... For his own selfishness, he burned the nautical charts, causing the country to suffer heavy losses, and this is the most serious crime! In addition......"
The courtiers listened to Gu Da count the accusations one by one, and they didn't know what it was like in their hearts.
Fortunately, there is, but there is no mention of rebellion. The most serious sin is the burning of charts, which is very unconvincing, but in this case, the matter of rebellion should not be mentioned again, right?
Of course, it is more worrying, Liu Daxia doesn't know how tortured he was, he actually confessed so many crimes, I'm afraid that even Zhishi can't stand it, I'm afraid there will be worries about his surname! And if the emperor uses this trick to deal with other people, how will he deal with it?
"Okay, that's it, don't read the following, that's enough." Zhengde first raised his hand, stopped Gu Dayong from continuing to read, and then said coldly: "After verification, Liu Daxia's crime is true, and I have confessed, therefore, I have made a decision, Liu Daxia's crime is not forgiven, and it should be decided, and the head of the nine sides should be passed on to thank the world!" ”
