Chapter 0105 Zhengde decided the case

Emperor Zhengde commanded blindly, some were busy kowtowing to salute, and some wanted to please the emperor, but they couldn't tell who the emperor was going to pull down and who to bring up. ”

This roar was more than Zhengde's "popping" sound, and the crowd of wolves and rabbits immediately brushed the ground and fixed there, only the crazy Lu Enlu still hugged a criminal department inspector and shouted to be promoted to become rich.

Yang Ling hadn't had time to take a closer look at these Qincha adults, but when he saw Yan Song's thin and tall figure, he suddenly remembered him, and then thought of the strange incident of the emperor's tomb inspection of the land safe and sound, Yang Ling couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at Yan Song and praised: "You are very good." Come and give Yang Ling's four Aiqing a seat. The four Aiqing, now that the truth is revealed, the four Aiqing officials will be reinstated, and they will return to the house to recuperate after that, and then they will still have to bear the responsibility of supervising the construction of the emperor's mausoleum, as for the false accusations."

Zhengde pointed at Lu Shichang, who was still laughing and talking nonsense, and said coldly: "Pull this madman down for me, bring all the witnesses and criminals to the court, and I will personally judge the case today!" ”

The emperor temporarily made a cameo appearance as the chief judge, how could there be anyone below who did not work hard to welcome, and at the moment, a few officials in the past carried the madman out with their hands and feet, and threw him into the waiting room of the first hall with a thud, and someone brought the trembling seven famous sons of the capital and Han Youniang and others to the court.

The third class of officials shouted through the hall with all their might, and Zhengde sat in the main hall, with two blanks of loess in front of him, and began to ask the case in person. Li Jie, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, looked at Zhengde and looked at him, his body immediately became half shorter, and he played with a crying voice: "Your Majesty, the minister is confused for a while, this madman usually speaks neatly, and Weichen doesn't notice it for a while, and because the emperor Lingzi is a big matter, it is related to the prosperity of the country."

He knew that at this time, it was purely to find death, it was better to confess his guilt and carry it out of the emperor's mausoleum to prove that he attached great importance to the mausoleum of the first emperor.

How did he know that Fang Cai Mo Shenzhu made up a few nonsense words in the back hall, and when he mentioned the emperor's tomb, Zhengde suddenly remembered that "the lightning strikes the court, and it should be in Tailing." Unprovoked work stoppage, born of celestial phenomena", a vicious anger suddenly burst out in his heart, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and changed the wood into a secret weapon, and swooped at Li Jie.

The startled wood "banged" on Li Jie's forehead, and suddenly it was dark, and Li Jie sighed in pain. Zhengde shouted: "Emperor Mausoleum, the Emperor Mausoleum you harmed was suspended, the sky thundered to warn, and I bombarded my palace, and you dare to mention the Imperial Mausoleum?" Strip off his official clothes, take off the black gauze official clothes! ”

Immediately, the two officers quickly pulled up Li Jie, stripped him off his official clothes and hats, kicked him on the back of his knees, and kicked him to his knees. Yang Ling was slightly uneasy when he saw it, after all, the Imperial Tomb Jinjing had indeed done tricks, Li Jie did not wronged him, he was worried that Li Jie was forced to take risks and insist that the water seepage in Jinjing was true, and he might even cause trouble to himself.

Li Duo, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, saw that his face was unbearable, and whispered softly: "Lord Yang must not be merciful and soft-faced, do you think he will be grateful for this?" If you don't die if you fight a snake, there will be endless troubles! ”

If this sentence is usually said, Yang Ling will definitely not go to his heart, but he is a person who has just closed the ghost gate, and he has a painful feeling about it, and he has already understood the danger of the sword in the court and the danger of the sword between talking and laughing, and nodded slightly when he heard the words, remembering that he was almost separated from the young lady and the ghost, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the young lady.

Han Youniang was still so pretty, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, but those gentle eyes were still looking at him affectionately, and Yang Ling couldn't help but smile comfortingly at his wife.

Han Youniang also smiled back, and that smile was full of satisfaction and joy. Yang Ling saw Yutangchun and Xue Limei next to Han Youniang, and remembered that these two women valued love and righteousness, and they had suffered great disasters and never gave up helping the young lady, and couldn't help but nod to them gratefully.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ling's gesture, the two girls' cheeks were a little hot, and they looked away shyly, and Yang Ling couldn't help but be a little inexplicable. He didn't know that when Han Youniang was grateful, she bowed to the three daughters, and swore to 'share the fate of the same boat and the blessings and misfortunes'.

What kind of ship is it? Naturally, it was his Lord Yang's boat, the two shrewd girls listened to it in their ears, and they knew the young lady's intentions, but at that time, they also held that the big thing could not be achieved, and they were determined to die with him as Yang Ling's concubine, and there was really little hope that they could save him. At this time, Yang Ling came back from the dead, and his mind came alive, and his heart was not so comfortable.

Zhengde stared at Li Jie, and couldn't think of how to do it for a while, so he couldn't help but turn to Hong Zhong and asked: "Hong Zhong, Li Jie falsely accused the minister, framed the Qincha, and fabricated the emperor's tomb to seep water, what should he be guilty of?" ”

Fang Cai Zhengde yelled at Hong Zhong, so frightened that Hong Laoshangshu, who had always seen the wind and steered the rudder, obediently retreated from the hall and ran to hide behind the god stick Mo Daowei, at this time, when he heard the emperor ask him, Hong Zhong was immediately flattered, and thought that the emperor would not investigate his crimes.

Hong Zhong hurriedly took two steps and said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, once the false accuser is verified, he will sit back." ”

Emperor Zhengde said impatiently: "Less nonsense, how to deal with it?" ”

Hong Zhong hurriedly said: "The emperor is clear, false accusation is to sit back, that is, what punishment he falsely accuses the official receives, he will give him."

Zhengde listened and said: "The official he falsely accused sentenced him to be killed, come on, pull him down and kill him!" ”

Li Jie was anxious, he also said that Hong Zhong could pull him, how could he have thought that he would fall into the well, Li Jie pointed at Hong Zhong and said angrily: "Hong Shangshu, I falsely accused the minister?" If you hadn't asked for the Holy Decree to be punished, would there have been such a thing as torture? ”。

Hong Zhong sneered at each other: "If you are not sincere in harming people, you can report to the emperor when you hear the news, and ask the emperor to verify it, why bother to find a madman to pretend to be a witness, I am deceived by you."

Li Jie said angrily: "I have no grievances with several adults, why harm him?" I heard about the water seepage in the imperial tomb, and I reported this matter to Xu Shangshu, but Xu Shangshu asked me to keep quiet and collect witnesses and evidence, so I didn't say anything for the time being, Lord Shangshu, isn't that so? ”

When Xu Guan heard that he was going to be dragged into the water, he shook his head like a rattle and said: "Nonsense, the old man only said that the water seepage of the emperor's tomb is such a big deal, how can you catch the wind and catch the shadows, and tell you to verify it and report it, who asked you to collect any witnesses and evidence, you have no enmity with several adults, is it possible that the old man has a grudge?" ”

Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others originally wanted to intercede for them, but when they saw that they only cared about shirking their responsibilities at a critical moment, they couldn't help but look full of contempt. Wang Qiong looked at the ugliness of the three of them, and couldn't help but be extremely angry, and shouted: "Enough! ”

He stopped the quarrel between the three of them, turned around and knelt on the ground straight, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't pay attention, there is a mistake in the report, and there is a crime of misinformation, but please judge!" ”

Wang Qiong took off his coat and hat and put it aside, kowtowing, his move was much better than that of Hong Zhong and the others. First say that the crime is a misguided and misaccused, and then tie the three Shangshu and a squire all in one boat, forgive you for the new emperor's accession to the throne, the foundation is not stable, and you dare to dispose of so many important ministers at will?

Zhengde saw that there were four people kneeling, but three of them were Shangshu, he was really a little at a loss, he looked at several scholars for help, Liu Jian took the opportunity to play: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Hong Laoshangshu indiscriminately punished and beat him into a trick, risking the death of the four Qincha, and the news that the emperor's tomb wants to move has caused the people's hearts to be unstable, which is indeed guilty." But Hong Shangshu was only deceived by others, and the case was handled improperly, and his heart had no selfish desires, and the minister thought that he could return to his hometown with him! ”

Hong Zhong trembled when he heard this, he worked hard to reach the status of a first-class master, and now everything is empty with just one sentence, and decades of hard work are like a dream. Li Jie was terrified when he heard it, Liu Jian was going to lose his pawn to protect the army, he was the head of the cabinet, even he had this thought, could he still live?

Zhengde listened and nodded: "According to the performance of the scholar, Hong Zhong of the Criminal Department will return to his hometown."

Liu Jian said: "Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, heard that there was a delay in the imperial mausoleum project, first he was too cautious and did not know, and then he reported the minister without verifying it.

Liu Jiangang wanted to say that he would be punished for demotion, but Zhengde had already said to himself: "Okay, let's do it together."

Liu Jian suddenly choked there, speechless for a long time. Zheng Deqi said: "Liu Aiqing's suggestion is very reasonable, continue to talk."

Liu Jian took a long breath and said quickly: "Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, educates the world with poetry and etiquette, is highly respected, and the peach and plum become a stream. He had nothing to do with this case, but because he mistakenly believed people's words, in order to purge the rule of officials, he urged the emperor to punish corrupt officials, which was willing. However, Wang Qiong is not an official, but he has done something that is heard, and he should also be punished, and he can be fined for three years as a punishment."

He was afraid that Zhengde would interject halfway again, so what he said was as urgent and fast as fried beans, and Zhengde said unhappily: "Wang Qiong almost made a big mistake by overstepping his own position, so reckless, how can he be in charge of the imperial examination, sacrifice, etiquette, and diplomatic relations?" The penalty is too light, so move to Nanjing Rite Department. ”

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were about to step forward to defend Wang Qiong again, but Wang Qiong thought that he was dedicated to the country, but the emperor was unconscious, and his heart was sad, and he kowtowed angrily: "The emperor is sympathetic to the minister, and the minister is grateful!" ”

Zhengde heard his anger and couldn't help but say angrily: "Are you still not convinced? You are in charge of the Ministry of Rites and educate the world, but you haven't even taught your own son well, and he persecuted other people's maidservants to frame the head of the family, is this also something done by the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites? ”

He sneered and turned to Wei Shen, the waiter of the Criminal Department, and said, "Wei Shilang, sue the official with the people, spread rumors and slander, what punishment should be imposed?" ”

Wei Shen is iron-faced and selfless, with only Wang Fa in his eyes, and no affection, so he immediately bowed down and said: "Go back to the emperor, sue the officials with the people, spread rumors and slander, and once it is verified, you should be stripped of your reputation and exiled." However, the minister thought that although the suspected case of the emperor's tomb was untrue, the accusation that Yang Lingqiang bought a handmaid was not enough to be accepted based on the woman's words, and it should be verified before he could be convicted."

Zhengde looked up to the sky and sneered: "No need to investigate, I know this matter clearly, this matter is because Shou Ninghou's family bullied and oppressed and plotted to seize the three women of the Flower Pavilion, at that time I was still the prince of the East Palace, and after hearing about this matter, I read Yang Ling to rescue him, his silver is not greedy for ink, it was given to him by me, do you still want to check whether what I said is true?" ”

Wei Shen hurriedly knelt down and said: "The minister doesn't dare, since the emperor testified for Yang Ling, then this false accusation is true."

When Wang Qiong heard that the emperor was going to cut off his son's fame and fill the army, his face turned pale, and he no longer dared to resist, but just kowtowed to beg for mercy for his son.

Li Dongyang was really anxious when he heard this, although these seven sons and brothers are not characters, but behind each of them there is a father who is an important minister in the court, and now the six ministries have dismissed half of the officials at once, and the people in the court are already unstable, if there are a few more ministers who are resentful, how can they manage the government?

The Imperial Tomb case abandoned one Li Jiebao and three Shangshu, and now it seems that Yang Lingba's female case only abandoned Wang Jinglong and saved the other six. Li Dongyang immediately made a decision, and immediately said irresponsible words: "Your Majesty, it is only Wang Jinglong who has bought the maid of the Yang Mansion and framed Lord Yang, and the other scholars are not too much, they are just greedy for vanity, and they should come to have a good time, and it is not appropriate to deal with them seriously."

Xie Qian, Liu Jian, Wang Hua and others knew that the punishment was too heavy and not conducive to the court, so they knelt down and pleaded for mercy, and Zhengde said hatefully: "Okay, the six people who echoed the entourage can be ignored, but Wang Jinglong is the first offender who fabricated charges and framed the ministers of the court, if he is pardoned, where is the dignity of the court?" Cut off this person's fame, flow to Guizhou, and not be hired for the rest of his life! ”

Wang Qiong listened to a burst of despair, Wang Jinglong knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul, his life was over, and after a long time, he slowly came to his senses, and heard in a trance that the emperor sentenced Li Jie to death, and let people take him down.

Wang Jinglong smiled sadly, capital crime? It is better to condemn oneself to a capital crime than to suffer such a crime. I was originally a child of a family with a bright future, if I hadn't been deceived by that little slut, how could I have fallen to the point where life is worse than death? Wang Jinglong suddenly had a vicious thought in his heart: "Little slut, aren't you scheming with that Yang Ling to calculate me, even if I send Guizhou to Guizhou, I will buy off the outlaws, humiliate you to death, and make you regret not being at the beginning."

Dai Yi, the celebrant and eunuch, saw that the emperor had also adjudicated the case, Wang Qiong still refused to give up, knelt there and pleaded hard for his son, hurriedly slipped down from the chair, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Guizhou is barren and desolate, and there are many mountains and miasma everywhere. According to the slaves, since the lords pleaded, the emperor might as well send him to Tailing to do hard labor, pave the way for the first emperor to repair the mausoleum, and atone for his sins, which not only punished him, but also reflected the benevolence of the emperor."

Wang Jinglong was pondering vicious thoughts in his heart, and when he heard that he was going to Tailing to do hard labor, although it was a little bitter, but after all, near Beijing, although his father was exiled to Jinling as an official, his protégé in the court was still intertwined.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw Dai Yi smiling at him, only to see this ill-intentioned smile, Wang Jinglong suddenly poured from head to toe like a basin of ice water, and his whole heart became cold.

Zhengde said happily: "Very good, just do it!" Wang Qiong knew that if his son went to Tailing, it would be even more dangerous than going to Guizhou, and he was so anxious that he almost wanted to go crazy. Liu Jian and others have worked with him for many years, and when they saw it, they couldn't bear it, so they had to step forward to help him up, and quietly promised to take care of Wang Jinglong for him, and the old master retreated from the hall in tears.

Zhengde sent everyone down, leaving only Yang Ling's family, and then walked to Yang Ling's side and said, "Yang Shixuan, I almost lost you."

Yang Ling was also quite ashamed in his heart, he didn't believe that the importance of feng shui was more important than the lives of thousands of people, so he helped Dai Yi and others hide the water seepage from the emperor's tomb, but after all, there was something to hide from the little emperor, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor must not say so, whether the emperor is the king of a country or the son of the first emperor, it is a matter of duty, and the minister has no complaints." ”

Zhengde smiled ashamedly: "Aiqing, you should be relieved to take care of your injuries, and when your injuries are healed, I will reuse you." You go back first, the three nagging old men are still waiting for me outside, and I will go back and secretly go to your house to see you. ”

Yang Ling hurriedly said: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the emperor still don't leave the palace easily, let the three scholars know, and then play the persuasion, Weichen will go back."

He had removed his handcuffs and shackles, but his ankles were bloody and blurry, and it hurt to walk out of this long hall. Han Youniang and Yutang Chun supported him left and right, Xue Limei and Gao Wenxin were by their side, saluted Emperor Zhengde, turned around and left, Zhengde saw Han Youniang with a pretty face, although the etiquette was not lost, but the expression was not as kind as he used to be, and he felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly shouted: "Slow!" ”

Yang Ling turned around in surprise, only to see Zhengde coming over again and said: "If it weren't for the young lady's sister holding my father's ink treasure to stop me, I would have almost lost a loyal minister. ”

He muttered slightly: "I want to issue a decree to crown the young lady sister as the lady of the command, the young lady sister, don't be angry with me again, right?" ”

Han Youniang saw that the dignified son of heaven had compensated herself, and she didn't dare to get an inch, so she hurriedly bowed and said, "How dare the concubine be angry with the emperor?" Thank you for the reward."

Identity is a piece of Han Youniang's heart, when her husband was a showman, she always felt that she was not worthy of being a daughter of a hunter, and now that she has the emperor's seal, how can she not like it.

Zhengde saw a hint of joy on Han Youniang's eyebrows, so he relieved himself and smiled happily: "I not only want to reward the young lady's sister, but also Yang Waiter." Didn't Wang Jinglong say that it was unreasonable for you to spend 10,000 taels of silver to buy a maidservant? Hehe, the silver is mine, so I should buy it and give it to you as a concubine. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already decided on the candidates for the queen and two imperial concubines, well, it will be on the day of my wedding, and at that time, I will decree that the two of them will be given to you as concubines, and they will be married."

"Huh?" Yang Ling was taken aback when he heard this, and Han Youniang was also a little surprised. Yutangchun and Xue Limei were surprised and delighted, their eyes touched, and they both brushed the ground away, and they couldn't help but faint their cheeks, but the Yingying eyes were full of indescribable shame and happiness.

Gao Wenxin's eyes drooped slightly, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest abnormality. Although Han Youniang had promised to serve a husband as a metaphor, she knew that the identity of the slave and maid was difficult to get rid of, and she had never had this kind of delusion at all, so she naturally did not suffer from gains and losses like Yutangchun and the others.

The little emperor patted Yang Ling on the shoulder, and first said solemnly: "The day you get married is the day I get married, I swear to rejoice and congratulate you together, and I will have no doubt in my life, and I will be both a monarch and a friend from now on!" ”

He said and said happily: "The fireworks palace lamp put in the mountain last time is very beautiful, I have always wanted to see it again, and when I get married, there is no one to stop me from lighting the lamp and setting it on fire, hahaha, I have been looking forward to this wedding for a long time." Well, on my wedding night, you come to the palace and help me set off a fireworks", he waved his hand and said with a smile: "I want to watch the fireworks all night, and they will not be extinguished all night."

Gao Wenxin almost laughed out loud when he heard this confused order, Yutangchun and Xue Limei glanced at each other, and the corners of their pretty mouths couldn't help but fall down
