Chapter Ninety-Three: The Second Invasion of the Zhou Palace

Yue Su nodded, said "There is labor", and followed the master book into the palace. Yue Su's subordinates followed into the door, because they had learned the power of Lord Yue last time, and the guards guarding the door wanted to stop it, but they didn't dare. No one is going to kneel again.

I didn't see the master book at all, who told Lord Yue that he was too violent last time, and he really wanted to provoke him to show Shang Fang's sword again, it was not a result, so why bother with it.

Led by the main book, he came to the Yin'an Palace, and entered the main hall, Yue Su bowed his head slightly, and said: "Governor of Henan, Shao Bao Yue Su sees the prince, because the sword of Shang Fang is in his body, he can't pay full courtesy, and I hope that the prince will forgive his sins." ”

With Yue Su's current official position, when he saw the prince's courtesy, it was just a bowing ceremony, but as soon as he said that Shang Fang's sword was on his body, who would dare to let him give a salute. King Zhou said with displeasure: "Yue Shaobao came with the power of the Son of Heaven, Xiao Wang didn't go out to greet him, so he should ask Yue Shaobao to forgive his sins." He didn't invite Yue Su to sit down, and asked directly condescendingly: "I don't know if Yue Shaobao is here, what are you doing?" ”

Yue Su was calm and calm, and said: "The lower official is here for a public case, and the prince is implicated, and the lower official wants to invite the prince to come over the house to talk." ”

"I don't know what the public case is, can't I talk about it in the Little King's Mansion?" King Zhou said coldly.

"This case involves human life, the so-called human life is a matter of heaven, although the palace is large, it is not a mirror court after all, if it is a case, it is natural to be in the governor's hall of the ministry. The headquarters holds the sword of Shang Fang, patrols the hunt on behalf of the sky, and hopes that the prince will give convenience, don't stop it! Yue Su said righteously.

Dealing with royal nobles like the prince, and discussing with him softly, it is naturally not as good as showing Shang Fang's sword to win. This kind of person, Yue Su understands, is to eat hard rather than soft. Sure enough, as soon as Yue Su showed up as soon as the emperor appeared, King Zhou's arrogance weakened a little, and he said, "Lord Yue, what you said is right. But the imperial court also has a system, and if you want the palace to take people, the evidence must be conclusive, I don't know what credentials Lord Yue has, and what case is Xiao'er involved in? ”

Yue Su smiled slightly, took out the confession of Mao Sheng and the others from his arms, and said: "This is the confession drawn by the guards Mao Sheng and Yan Huan in the palace, and I also asked the prince to look at it." After speaking, he held the confession with one palm and waited for someone to take it.

After the king of Zhou read it, he pondered for a long time and said: "Your Excellency will not rely on this side of the word alone, you will go to the palace to get people." ”

Yue Su sneered and asked rhetorically: "Then according to the meaning of the prince, what do you want the officials to rely on to take people?" If the killer's confession can't be counted, wouldn't the wicked people in the world buy murderers and be not only criminal? ”

As soon as his words came out, King Zhou was speechless, and he didn't know how to defend for a while, so he said for a long time: "Then what if someone frames and frames Xiao'er?" ”

"The law of the country is cloudy: the more the sue rod is fifty, and the false accusation is added to the third degree, if these two people frame the son, according to the law, the crime will be added to the third degree!" Yue Su said generously.

King Zhou's meaning is basically that the two framed the prince and did not allow Yue Su to take people away, and Yue Su's answer was even more ingenious, directly applying to the law of the Ming Dynasty. In short, it doesn't matter if I am framed now, I have to take the person away, once it is determined that the two are framed, the two will also be added to the third degree, and you will be given an explanation.

King Zhou was angry and gritted his teeth, but when it came to the legal affairs of the court, he couldn't say that Yue Su wanted to use the title to suppress people, and Yue Su relied on Shang Fang's sword and didn't buy his account, which made him in a dilemma for a while.

Yue Su saw that he was speechless for a long time, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the official is busy with official business, and he has no time to wait more, so he hopes to make it convenient." Otherwise, once the lower officials are presumptuous and unreasonable, the prince's face will not look good. ”

This is very clear, if you don't make friends, don't blame me for being unkind. If these words were said by someone else, King Zhou blew his beard and glared at the table, then he was out of the way. However, who is saying this, he also has to weigh it, two dozen Uncle Zhang Guo, the angry Zhang Guozhang and King Fu have no temper, what else can he King Zhou do. Once Yue Suzhen didn't give him face, forcibly searched the mansion, and took people away, the face of the entire Zhou Wang clan would really be lost.

As I said earlier, the princes of the Ming Dynasty are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the prince of Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince of Zhu Di after the Jingjing, whether in status or in intimacy, are a little worse, honest and good, dare to make the emperor unhappy, it is said that the feudal domain will be reduced, which is not polite at all. Although Yue Su is now the emperor's favorite minister, it will not be to the point of provoking Yue Su and will be cut down, but everyone understands that no matter who Yue Su provokes now, the emperor will not do anything to Yue Su. On the contrary, it was Yue Su, who offended the prince, and in the eyes of the scholars, he might be able to gain a reputation for not being afraid of the powerful.

This time, once it really makes trouble, no matter what, it will be the prince who suffers. King Zhou is not a fool, after weighing it, he still thinks that it is better not to be tough.

After retreating, the momentum was inevitably weakened by two parts, but he couldn't lose, and said: "Since the lord said so, it is good that the lone king will call the prince first, and you will confront each other here, if there is something, the lord will take him away, it is also reasonable, and the lone king will stop it more, it will seem to despise the law of the country." However, in this kind of case, the lord only has the right to hear and dispose of it, and the right to dispose of it is still in the hands of the emperor, otherwise the people's mansion is not a vain! After that, the father said loudly: "Zhao Wen, go and invite the son!" ”

"Yes, lord." Zhao Wen on the side agreed and walked out of the Yin'an Palace.

Zhao Wen went all the way to the prince's bedroom, this distance is not close, it is not far, it takes a lot of effort. On the Yin'an Palace, King Zhou still did not invite Yue Su to sit down, Yue Su stood at the bottom of the steps with his head held high as usual, and rushed up to look directly at King Zhou.

In this way, after waiting for a long time, Zhao Wen and the prince Zhu Gongfang came. Zhu Gong went to the palace, first greeted King Zhou, and then said hello to Yue Su.

Yue Su said hello to Zhu Gongfang according to the attitude of meeting King Zhou just now. Then he said: "There is Lao Shizi here, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

Zhu Gongfang said with a smile: "What the adults have done here, Gonggong Zhao has already told this time. Here's the thing, last time I wanted to eat sugar gourds, so I asked people to buy them privately, who expected to eat a worm, and I was quite angry, so I sent Mao and Yan to teach a lesson, and didn't let the two take his surname. The two of them may have deviations in doing things, and I hope that adults will learn from them. If he is frightened, he will be compensated for this time. After speaking, he rushed up and bowed down and said: "Father, this matter is all because the child acted recklessly and caused trouble to his father. ”

What he said was reasonable, and he didn't feel that he had violated any law at all. But this is the case these days, a little prince, who instructs to kill a flat-headed person, even if he kills someone, in the end, the killer is guilty, and his palace loses two dollars; If you don't kill it, that's it. As for beating people, it doesn't break any royal law, and it pays some medical expenses, so forget it. If he can say this, it can be regarded as giving Yue Su face, and if he is another official, he will not even be able to deal with it. But if you don't admit it, it's not good, after all, the two guards are in Yue Su's hands, and they have already confessed, and they have made a lot of quibbles, but it's not good, and when they find out, they can't tell.

King Zhou nodded and said, "You also know that you have caused trouble for your father, and if you don't hurry up to ask for the guilty man, you will send someone to Beijing tomorrow." Lord Yue, how do you think you do this? ”

Yue Su gritted his teeth angrily, but he also knew the law, and understood that when the little prince said this, he washed himself cleanly, and the emperor reprimanded him twice, and it was over.

However, Yue Su didn't want to treat the little prince for any crime when he came this time, and he didn't kill anyone, saying that breaking the sky was also handed over to the sect's mansion. But Yue Su's purpose was only to take people away. Yue Su smiled and said, "It turned out to be such a thing, it seems that Mao and Yan understood the meaning of the wrong son." But the law is cloudy, killing people to pay for their lives and paying debts, these two people are guilty of inescapability. He also asked the prince to go to the governor's hall with the lower officials, confronted the two face to face, signed and detained, and the lower officials convicted the two according to law. ”

"Lord Yue, I've already admitted it here, I'll write a plea later, you look at the two of you, why bother with this time, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it." Zhu Gongqi said with a faint smile.

How could Yue Su let him go, otherwise, his efforts would not be in vain. At that moment, he said righteously: "The law of the country is like a mountain, how can it be child's play." Besides, these two people are still guilty of murder, and they will be beheaded. The Ministry is in charge of the emperor's three-mouth bronze guillotine, which can be cut first and then played, and once the case is finalized, it is not allowed to be submitted to the criminal department, and it can be shown to the public. Human life is at stake, and the evidence must be conclusive, the iron case is like a mountain, if the prince does not confront the court, let the officials decide the case. I also hope that the prince will be convenient. ”

Yue Su's words were polite, but his tone was firm and non-negotiable. And it's reasonable, so people can't refute it.

Of course, Zhu Gongfang didn't want to go, but he couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he had to say: "The adults enforce the law like a mountain, and the little admires it." Even if you want to enforce the law for the country, Xiaofan has no way to shirk it, so I'll go with the adults. After speaking, he bowed to King Zhou, and said: "Father, the child will go to the governor's yamen with Yue Shaobao, go back as soon as possible, and the father doesn't have to worry." ”

King Zhou also saw that he couldn't stop it, who called 'Yue Shaved Head' too domineering, and he was favored by the emperor. said: "It's okay, then you go back quickly." Zhao Wen, you take someone to follow the prince, if there is anything, come back quickly. ”

This is also for the sake of safety, he is afraid that Yue Su will play some tricks, so he will let Zhao Wen bring someone over so that he can take care of him.

Seeing that King Zhou and Zhu Gongfang expressed their willingness to go, Yue Su arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your understanding." As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to Zhu Gongfang, "Shizi, please!" ”

Zhu Gongfang nodded, and also made a gesture of please, "Yue Shaobao, please!" ”

At that moment, the two of them went out of the Yin'an Palace, and Zhao Wen greeted more than 20 people, accompanied by them, out of the palace, and rushed to the governor's yamen together.

This is called catching the dragon away from the sea, how can it be up to you to decide.
