Chapter 318: Don't kill a person in vain
In another cell, a burly and majestic man with gray eyebrows and beards was holding a roast chicken and munching there, but it was the Mao Sheng Mao Dudu who opened the door of the Qianqing Palace and put Zhu Qizhen and others into the Qianqing Palace.
"I said, Master He, why do you keep sighing? At this time, you can eat and drink in this Jinyiwei's edict, and you are still so clean and tidy, are you still not satisfied? The big man spat out a piece of chicken bone in displeasure and persuaded.
"Mao Dudu, do you remember that this is the edict of Jinyiwei, do you know that this edict, entered here, ten of the **, few can have a good end." He Wenyuan shook his head with a wry smile, walked to his bed and sat down, his expression extremely complicated. During the Orthodox Dynasty, he was arrested and imprisoned for improper deliberation, and later returned from illness. Then, after Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne as the emperor, because of his talent, he was used again as the left servant of the ministry, He Wenyuan was quite talented, and he did quite well in the position of the left servant of the ministry, and Zhu Qiyu even intended to wait for the king to go straight down, so that he would act as the secretary of the ministry, and let that Wang Wen focus on the affairs of the cabinet.
But I never thought that it didn't take long for Zhu Qiyu to fall, and he also fell directly into the edict of this brocade guard from the high position of the left servant of the ministry.
"It's just a big deal, I'm worried too much, and what benefits can I have, Mao is a horse, life and death, I have seen a lot earlier. What's more, Wan Sui today is not an unreasonable person, we are loyal to King Yu, that is because King Yu was the king at that time, and he was the son of heaven of my Ming Dynasty, if we are not loyal to him, then what should I do? Mao Sheng smiled, his oily hands wiped his gray beard, the taste of this roast chicken is really good, it seems that this should not be a trick that a cook in a place like the Imperial Prison can come up with, I am afraid that these are specially advised and explained by His Majesty.
Treating himself and a group of subordinates who originally belonged to King Yu like this clearly doesn't want to slaughter himself and others, although Mao Sheng is just a military minister, it doesn't mean that his head is inflexible, but like He Wenyuan, these ministers, I don't know if their brains are too complicated, and they always think about simple things too complicated.
"Having said that, but Your Majesty has detained us here for a long time, but we have not dealt with it, and no one can predict that Your Majesty will suddenly have other ideas." He Wenyuan's face was wrinkled, thinking about it, after all, the dark cloud on that face was still difficult to erase.
"Hehe, Lord He, what can you do if you think too much? In short, we are all alive, people, if we can live for a day, we have to be worthy of ourselves, eat and drink well, and when we go out in the future, we will have the strength to do things......"
-------------------- the Chongzhi Hall in the West Garden, Zhu Qizhen sat peacefully on the low couch, watching the three ministers who came in a row bow down in the hall.
"The minister is straight, see Your Majesty's ......"
"Chen Xuanhui, see Your Majesty's ......"
"Chen Lin Cong, see Your Majesty's ......"
"Everyone, Aiqing, come here, give a seat." After Zhu Qizhen raised his hand with a smile, he instructed the guards beside him, and after a while, the guards brought three mats and three desks, which made the three of them stunned....... Zhu Qizhen smiled and pointed to the three cushions and smiled.
Hearing this, the corners of Lao Wang's straight eyes almost twitched, what is this called, it seems that it should not be used in this kind of place, but this time is not the time to point out the rhetorical errors of the Son of Heaven's language, there are more important things, you need to consult with the Son of Heaven, Lao Wang Zhi took a deep breath and calmed down. "Your Majesty's move is quite a legacy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even so, the minister is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful."
Lao Wang Zhi was not polite, and sat cross-legged as soon as he lifted his placket, and Na Xuanhui and Lin Cong saw that Lao Wang Zhi was like this, and after saluting respectfully to Zhu Qizhen, they sat down cross-legged.
Seeing that all three of them sat down, Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction. "That's right, a few days ago, I edicted the officials to enter the palace to ask about things, but the officials refused to even sit on the chair, like squatting on a horse, I looked uncomfortable for him, so ah, I thought about it for a long time, before I thought of this method, first, some of the ministers are old, standing for a long time can't bear it, so half squatting and half sitting is even more unbearable, it's better like this."
"Your Majesty, it is really a blessing for your Majesty to have such thoughts." Lao Wang Zhi stared at Zhu Qizhen for a long time, then stood up again, and solemnly bowed to Mayor Zhu Qi again, from Zhu Qizhen's expression and tone, Lao Wang Zhi can be sure that Zhu Qizhen's words are definitely not false and pretentious.
"Okay, this is not the court, and the secretary doesn't have to be like this. By the way, today the three Aiqing came to see me together, I don't know what to do? Zhu Qizhen smiled and asked after motioning for the three of them to sit down again.
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the file you brought was carefully checked by the ministers...... "After exchanging glances with the two of them, Lao Wang Zhi opened his mouth first. However, after saying this, the conversation was blocked by Zhu Qizhen's raised hand, and soon, the guards in the hall left the room one after another, standing around the main hall, vigilantly patrolling the surroundings of the main hall, and only a few guards such as Yuan Bin stood behind Zhu Qizhen in the hall.
Regarding the fact that there are no eunuchs waiting around Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen has not called eunuchs in the past two years, not to mention that in the past two years, these guards have waited around them, which is more convenient to use, so the ministers did not say more.
In fact, Zhu Qizhen really doesn't have a good impression of this kind of special people who have been castrated and entered the palace in order to seek wealth and nobility, of course, he can't do without it, but Zhu Qizhen, who is waiting for him, is not at ease with those eunuchs who have been waiting for Zhu Qiyu for more than two years, and trusts the guards and pro-army that he brought out single-handedly.
"Oh, according to the opinion of the three Qing families, those detained officials will be tried according to my Ming law, what should be the result?" After Zhu Qizhen saw that all the guards had gone out, he asked intently.
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, at most a few people should be punished for their crimes." Lao Wang Zhi took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Qizhen, and said word by word.
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief: "Okay! In this case, when it is said that I will announce it in the court and hand it over to the three law divisions for trial, so that everyone in the world will know that I will not kill a person in vain. ”
