Chapter 1078: Interrogation

Time passed minute by minute, and the ministers waiting in the cabinet felt more and more frightened, even Xu Wei and others were a little unable to sit still. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

What did they do? Soldiers, imprison the queen mother, imprison the emperor, outright rebellion!

Once the forces loyal to the emperor counterattack, they will be connected to the nine clans at any time, time is more valuable than anything else, they must seize the opportunity, every second counts, or simply go and slaughter Zhu Yijun, kill the Empress Dowager Li, and support Tang Yi to ascend the throne.

Someone has to do things, Tang Ge is inconvenient, so let's come!

Wang Guoguang stood up and walked outside, and as soon as he arrived at the door, someone stretched out his arms and stopped him.

"Lord Hai, what are you doing here?"

Hai Rui's face was expressionless, "Wang Butang, what are you going to do?" ”

"Me? ! ”

"Please go to the side door to relieve your hands, there are soldiers staring, you better go and come back quickly, don't delay time.."

Wang Guoguang shook his arm angrily, "Lord Hai, are you really stupid or fake stupid, I'm doing you a favor!" ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

"You!" Wang Guoguang turned around three times, stomped his feet and said: "What else don't you understand, if the emperor lives, we will die, and if you want to live, you must kill the emperor." Tang Ge couldn't do it, so he let Wang do it, no matter what, Zhu Yijun couldn't see the sun tomorrow! ”

Wang Guoguang threw off his stride and rushed outside, Hai Rui stopped him, the sea barbarian usually grows vegetables in the yamen, does farm work, and the strength in his hands is very large, like a wild cow, Wang Guoguang can't get him.

"The surname is Hai, do you want to drag everyone to die together?" Wang Guoguang gasped and cursed.

Hai Rui said coldly: "Wang Butang, Hai has children, daughters, wives, and mothers, of course he doesn't want to die." ”

"If you don't want to die, don't dodge!"

"If you think you are clever, you will die."

"What does it mean to be smart, can you think of another way?" Wang Guoguang asked loudly.

"Can't!" Hai Rui replied honestly.

"Then why are you still holding me back?" Wang Guoguang's eyebrows stood up.

"Because I know that Lord Tang will have a way!"

As soon as Hai Rui's words fell, he heard someone say, "That's right, this pavilion has something to say!" ”

Tang Yi walked over with steady steps, and the four old ministers followed closely. As soon as they appeared, everyone in the audience quieted down, their eyes widened one by one, and they looked at Tang Yi with expectation. All hope is tied to him.

came to the middle, Tang Yi clasped his fists at everyone.

"Princess, there is no need to talk nonsense, everyone must be very concerned about what to do next, our net worth and life, and the future of the world's society are all in our thoughts. First of all, I would like to say a few words, first, the Longqing New Deal has achieved remarkable results in the past six years, and I think everyone should realize that we have explored a new way to govern the country, that is, selection at all levels, consultation in case of trouble, minority obeying the majority, equal power and responsibility, and strengthening supervision and feedback. The role of the Cabinet as the core of implementing the new law and governing the country is self-evident. Compared with the rule of a single monarch, collective consultation and cooperation of the cabinet is obviously more effective and can avoid mistakes. In the future, the imperial court will continue this path, and the power of the cabinet will continue to be strengthened. ”

Tang Yi paused and said, "As for everyone's worries about whether there will be a liquidation, the safety of their lives." I think there is nothing wrong with what we have done today, and all the blame lies with the Li family. If we're doing the right thing, why worry about being calculated? Obviously, logic does not make sense, a person who does good deeds should be punished, and those who do bad deeds will get away with it, which is obviously unreasonable. Of course, this kind of unreasonableness has not happened, for example, Yu Qian Yu Shaobao, the former military department Shangshu, in order to defend the capital, support the Jingtai Emperor to succeed to the throne, defeated the Wara army, as a result, after the restoration of Yingzong, he killed Yu Shaobao just because of his own selfishness, self-destruction of the Great Wall, for a hundred years, the people mentioned the unjust death of Yu Shaobao, all of them were heartbroken. When the same thing comes to us again, it is very important to choose how to choose. We can't simply abolish an emperor and install a new monarch, we must solve the problem and eliminate the root cause of the wronged! ”

"Excuse me, my lord, what is the root cause?" Shen Lin asked loudly.

"The root lies in the imperial power, in the fact that the king is high and unrestrained!" Tang Yi simply replied: "There are so many kings in all dynasties, I don't need to say anything, everyone should know that just by reasoning, relying on advice, and knowing the righteousness, it is impossible for all emperors to change their minds." In fact, most of the emperors are because of their own selfishness, and they ignore the people of the world, act wantonly, and stir up the restlessness of the world, what is the reason? ”

Tang Yi asked a question, and Xu Fatzi immediately jumped up, "The emperor is the biggest, bigger than the people in the world combined, so if the emperor is slightly unsatisfactory, he will sacrifice some people and sacrifice a few officials." Emperor Sejong lived in Xiyuan for 20 years, devoted himself to cultivating mysteries, and spent no less than millions of taels of silver, so that the treasury was empty and traitors were in power. They are all selfish, above the people of the world, in the face of their misdeeds, the ministers have no way at all, only waiting for them to die, in order to try to correct their mistakes, but also to take into account the new monarch's ideas, make it scattered, black and white upside down, loyal ministers are aggrieved, bad people are rampant, in the long run, what is right and wrong! ”

Xu Wei really won Tang Yi's heart and said everything he wanted to say.

Tang Yi said: "Since joining the cabinet, I have always advocated equal rights and responsibilities, no matter who you are, you must be responsible for your own actions, and you will be punished if you do wrong." But the king is high above and does not accept constraints. Because of this, his eagle dogs, eunuchs, do not accept restraints, and the same is true of the queen mother of the harem. What Concubine Li and her gang did, we should understand that it was the imperial power that was dissatisfied with being suppressed and restricted, and wanted to violently take power away from us. In order to achieve their goals, they did not hesitate to go crazy, wantonly kill, and did not hesitate to put the world in a dangerous situation, and they did not have the slightest sympathy for the common people and the people. If we do not severely punish and thoroughly reflect on it, we will never be able to break out of the cycle of chaos and chaos, and the vicious circle of people dying and retiring from government, and the great good situation that we have created with great difficulty will be easily destroyed, and the lesson will not be painful. ”

Everyone lowered their heads silently, Tang Yi said a lot, and they all listened to it with affection.

Many words are rebellious, which can be called crazy, but no matter how crazy they are, they can't compare to the actions of the Li family.

The ministers were completely chilled and scared.

No matter how foolish and filial piety you are, you have to weigh whether it is worth it.

"Elder Tang Ge, what should we do?"

"yes, you have an idea!"

……

Everyone was talking and staring at Tang Yi tightly.

"In fact, the method is very simple, even one click to break. It is enough for us to limit the imperial power so that it cannot act arbitrarily! Tang Yi swore and said.

But everything is easier said than done, fortunately he wanted to persuade the four old ministers, Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji, Gao Yi, Ge Shouli, all of them are highly respected, they endorsed together, and soon everyone agreed on their opinions.

Tang Yi asked Gao Gong to take the lead, Xu Wei, Wang Shizhen, Tao Dalin, Zhu Dashou and others to participate in the drafting of a set of laws to clearly define what the emperor can and cannot do, and make it public, so that everyone can understand it clearly and penetrate into the hearts of the people.

Once the emperor goes beyond the covenant and acts recklessly, he must be restrained and restricted, and his request will be rejected immediately and will never be implemented.

In addition to drafting the decree, there is also to step up the investigation of Lee's case, with Zhao Zhenji in charge and Hai Rui as the judge, to immediately find out Lee's charges and be open and honest, so that the people of the world will be happy and convinced, so as to avoid chaos and trouble.

Tang Yi led other officials to fully maintain the operation of the imperial court.

After deducting Gao Gong, Zhao Zhenji, Zhang Juzheng, there are still four cabinet elders left, after everyone voted for the election, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Gao Yi entered the cabinet, Tang Yi proposed, led by five cabinet elders, all the scholars, plus the left and right imperial history, a total of nineteen people, to form a cabinet joint meeting.

Ordinary affairs, as well as emergencies, are decided by five cabinet elders, and when there are major matters, nineteen people discuss and vote together.

Among the nineteen people, Tang Yi is in charge of the jade seal, as the foreman, Tang Ruji is in charge of drafting votes, Yin Shiyi is in charge of the army, Gao Yi is in charge of personnel, and Zhang Shouzhi is in charge of finance.

As long as you hold the army, people, and money in your hands, the world will not be chaotic!

The first order of the newly formed cabinet joint meeting was to authorize an investigation into Long Qing's death.

"The burden of thousands of catties has fallen on Brother Gangfeng, you must be able to carry it." Tang Yi said meaningfully.

Hai Rui pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked: "This time, will it be like the time at the small station, stopping halfway?" ”

"No, Brother Gangfeng, the time of the Ming Dynasty has passed, you let it go, no matter who you find and what happens, I will fully support it!"

Hai Rui was a little lonely, and said clearly, since it's so easy, do you still need me!

But he was just a flash of thought, after all, interrogating the Queen Mother, it was an unprecedented case, and it also marked the success of the king and the defeat of the king, which has since become a thing of the past, and the era of following the law in everything has finally come, and he must open this head!

Hai Rui closed his eyes and contemplated for an hour, when the morning sun was revealed, he led Wang Yongji, Han Xiang, Luo Wanhua, Zou Yuanbiao, Gu Xiancheng and others to kill Cining Palace together.

He handed over the token to Jinyiwei and carefully checked their identities before letting them in.

After entering Cining Palace, unexpectedly, Li was very calm, sat in front of the window, heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head to look, turned her head again, and sneered: "Is it Bai Lingzi, or Hedinghong?" The mourning family is also the emperor's biological mother, so it won't be in a different place, right? ”

Hai Rui took his hand and said: "Li, this official came here, not to give death, but to ask about the case, please answer truthfully, how did you assassinate the first emperor?" ”

Li seemed to have heard the funniest joke, "A group of chaotic ministers and thieves are also worthy of interrogating the mourning family?" Die! ”

She went crazy, stretched out her claws, and pounced on Hai Rui, her hideous appearance was no different from that of a ghost.

At this moment, a brocade guard rushed up quickly, stretched out an iron-like arm, and held Li's arm, but she still refused to stop, shouting and shouting.

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, all rebellious ministers and thieves!"

The king's face was feverish and angry.

"Mr. Gangfeng, so tricky, I don't think there is any need to torture, she won't confess!"

Hai Rui shook his head, "If you torture to extract a confession and torture it into a trick, how can you win the trust of the world, don't worry, I have my own way!" (To be continued.) )
