Chapter Twenty-Six: Famous Earthquake Jingshi

A sentence that the emperor and I are compatriots, and I happened to be pinched by Yue Su to death, and when I said it in front of the Manchu Dynasty, how could Zhu Youxiao not be angry. Ke Yinyue saw that the signs were wrong, and quickly changed the topic. Hearing her words, Zhu Youxiao also felt reasonable, and said: "It's all the right and wrong born of that Fajue, so let's judge it quickly." ”

"But Your Majesty, Fajue is now in the hands of Shuntianfu, Yue Su insists on not handing it over, how can Jinyiwei judge, and I hope that Your Majesty will order him to hand over Fajue, and my son will definitely find out the truth as soon as possible." Ke Yinyue hurriedly said.

"It's okay, Yue Aiqing, after the dynasty is dispersed, you can hand over Fajue to Jinyiwei." In the eyes of this Zhu carpenter, this is a trivial matter, it doesn't matter who it is handed over to for trial, the sooner you understand, it will be quiet.

But how could Yue Su agree, he bowed down and said: "Long live Hui, the case of Fajue has been tried clearly. The abbot of the Efeng Tan Tuo Temple, who does not know the pure practice, but has the grace of the emperor, in the name of the edict, hides the dirt and dirt, causing the thousand-year-old temple to become a filthy world. There are four charges against him: 1. ** women, a total of 29 women who were forcibly imprisoned by him were found from the dark room in the temple, all of whom were defiled by him, and one of them committed suicide. 2. Kidnapping children and extortion, the ministers searched for 31 children in the temple, 13 of whom were humiliated by him. 3. Cao Kan's life, Jia Yizhu, a villager in Wutuo Town, and eight nearby villagers all died under his minions, and Fa Jue has confessed. Fourth, the shadow of the dead, plotting evil, when the minister found the secret passage in his temple, was attacked by the dead, ten arresters died on the spot, and another seven were injured, which was witnessed by the people of Shuntianfu. Blood and tears, heaven does not tolerate it, today there is a confession here, and I hope that Your Majesty will see it. ”

After Yue Su finished speaking, he raised the confession that had been prepared long ago above his head.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on it, made a gesture, and a little eunuch went over, took the confession, and presented it to the dragon book case. Carpenter Zhu didn't know much about reading, so he simply flipped through it and said, "Since the evidence is conclusive, let's judge according to the law." ”

"Your Majesty and slow ......" Seeing Zhu Youxiao say this, Ke Yinyue hurriedly said: "Shuntianfu's confession is not true, listen to my son, when the holy monk was brought back to Jinyiwei, he was covered in bruises, and he was obviously punished. Under severe punishment, it is inevitable that he will be beaten into a confession, how can this confession be accurate. ”

"Long live Qiyu, Wei Chen found 29 women, 31 children, and countless gold and silver treasures in the dark room of Tantuo Temple. If these people weren't imprisoned by Fajue, how could they be there? According to the confessions of a group of women, they were all abducted and deceived by Fa Jueming, and they were annihilated and humiliated countless times. Are they all lying? Fa Jue holds himself as a monk with the title of emperor, and under the ironclad evidence, he still denies it and despises the laws of the imperial court. Yue Su said loudly.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao nodded, and just wanted to speak, but he heard someone below come out of the class and say: "Long live Qiyu, although Yue Su enforces the law in Shuntianfu, but Tantuo Temple is the emperor's temple after all, and Fajue is also a monk, even if he is guilty, he should first give his life to Ming, and then lead the order to arrest him, how can there be any reason to arrest without authorization?" This is clearly a deception of the king, and I hope that Your Majesty will treat him for the crime of deceiving the king first, and then retry Fajue! ”

The person who spoke was not someone else, it was Feng Quan, the "Dragon Yin Jun". Wei Zhongxian, who was beside the emperor just now, saw Yue Su's sharp words, and was afraid that the Hakka mother and son would not be able to debate, so he hurriedly gestured to him. Feng Quan realized at the moment, he already hated Yue Su, and he was a party of Keyinyue, so he had long wanted to come forward, and when he saw Wei Zhongxian nodding, there was no reason not to go up.

As soon as he was born, people in the eunuch party flocked to him, and the second was Gu Bingqian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites. He bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, what Feng Shangshu said is right, Yue Su has no decree to seal the Huangfeng Temple without permission and arrest the monks, this is a deception of the monarch, and the crime is extremely evil." I also hope that His Majesty will punish him severely, otherwise who will still put the word imperial seal in his eyes. ”

"Your Majesty, what Feng Shangshu and Gu Shilang said is good, Yue Su abused lynching, ignored the law and discipline of the court, bullied the monarch, and the crime was monstrous. This is Pan Song, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, his son was dragged by Yue Su to parade the streets, and he already hated Yue Su, how could he not want to find an opportunity to take revenge. And he is also Wei Zhongxian's minion, seeing that Feng Quan and Gu Bingqian are both in battle, how can he be left behind.

"Your Majesty......" "Your Majesty's ............ Immediately afterwards, six or seven more people stood up to accuse Yue Su together, hoping that the emperor would severely punish Yue Su.

These people are all eunuchs, and the rest of the courtiers, such as the Donglin Party and the Qichu and Zhejiang Parties, are all watching from the wall, and no one comes out to speak.

Looking at the number of eunuchs falling to Yue Su, one of them really couldn't look past it, and this person was Yang Lian, the deputy capital of Yushi. He was just about to step forward, when he suddenly felt that someone next to him pulled his sleeve, turned his head and looked, it turned out to be the official Shangshu [***] star. Star shook his head at him, motioning for him not to come forward and wait and see.

Everyone is a member of the Donglin Party, and [***] Xing is the leader, Yang Lian has no choice but to endure the surname and wait and see the changes.

With so many people impeaching Yue Su in the Golden Palace, even if Carpenter Zhu wanted to protect him, it was difficult for him to be angry, especially now, no one came forward to speak for Yue Su. He pondered for a moment and said: "Zhongqing's words are reasonable, but Yue Aiqing is dedicated to the public and enforcing the law for the country, although he is reckless for a while, he should not be deeply responsible. In this way, Fajue was immediately handed over to Jinyiwei for trial, and Yin Yuesu of Shuntian Mansion was demoted to two levels to retain and retreat from the dynasty. With that, the man stood up. He really didn't want to see the court continue to make trouble, so he casually planned to hide quietly.

This punishment is basically not called a punishment, and the ministers can see it clearly, this is simply the emperor's clear partiality towards Yue Su. However, Yue Su ignored this grace and said loudly: "Your Majesty stays!" ”

After that, he knelt on the ground with his clothes, and said loudly: "Weichen said yesterday that he was ordered to go to Tantuo Temple, originally to study the imperial gift of magic weapons, and after discussing with Fajue, he and his clumsy wife visited the temple. Unexpectedly, during the tour, he accidentally touched the mechanism and opened the secret passage in the temple. The dead soldiers in the inner came out to attack and kill Wei Chen, but fortunately, there were messengers who desperately guarded them, so they killed the dead soldiers, and then searched inside and found the women and children imprisoned in them. Bumped into such illegal things, how could the ministers and law enforcement Shuntianfu ignore it, if they asked for the order first, wouldn't they let Fa Jue take the opportunity to escape, so they were captured first. Back at the palace, thousands of people from the villages and towns around Jingshi came to sue Fajue, stained with blood and tears, and it was difficult to write. And Fa Jue was a monk with self-reliance, and in the face of ironclad evidence, he still did not confess, so the minister was angry and started to punish and beat. It should not be used to punish the emperor and the monk without authorization, but the minister knows that he is guilty, and he is willing to take off the black yarn on his own ......"

Speaking of this, Yue Su took off the black veil on his head, put it neatly on the ground, and said again: "I only ask Your Majesty to be the master of the people, and seek justice for the thousands of people who were persecuted by Fajue!" It's not that the minister doesn't believe in the Son of Heaven's personal soldier Jinyiwei, yesterday he said that the minister ordered Fajue to be handed over to Jinyiwei, and he didn't want to hand it over with his left hand, so Jinyiwei released him with his right hand, and kept saying that he was going out to seek medical treatment, this kind of nonsense is simply ridiculous. The ministers are afraid that they will hand over Fajue again, and they will be indulged in favoritism, and the people will have nowhere to redress their grievances. The country is people-oriented, and I also ask Your Majesty to make decisions for the people, and cut Fajue with a thousand knives to vent the anger of the people. The minister pleaded guilty on his own, resigned and returned to his hometown, His Majesty was gracious, and the minister will report in the next life! After saying that, he kowtowed his head heavily.

"Aiqing! You can't go! Hearing that Yue Su was going to resign and return to his hometown, Zhu Youxiao was in a hurry, ran down in a few steps, pulled Yue Su up, and shouted loudly: "Aiqing, what you said is reasonable." All right! I have made up my mind, you don't need to say anything, Fajue stays in the Heavenly Mansion, and cuts with a thousand knives to vent the anger of the people. All accomplices, all of whom are convicted by Shuntianfu according to the law, can no longer be discussed, and retreat from the dynasty! ”

This time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is really angry, and the whole court is just playing with him, and you still want to force him away, you don't want to mess up. Wei Zhongxian and Ke Yinyue saw it clearly, and now they already understood that Yue Su was an important surname in the emperor's heart, and no one dared to say more. At this time, Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, and the Shangshu [***] of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and shouted: "My Emperor Shengming! ”

"My Emperor Shengming!" …… With the voices of these two, the other Donglin Party members shouted one after another. Even the officials of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang also shouted, and for a while, the Huangji Hall was filled with the words "My Emperor Shengming".

*******************************************************

Returning to Shuntian Mansion, Yue Su immediately ascended to the court to announce the verdict. Silver monk Fajue, Ling Chi was executed; Tantuo Temple from the rebel evil monk or beheaded, or filled the army in Yunnan. Wang Daopo, the abbot of Jinghuiguan, sentenced to ride a wooden donkey to show the public, and cut it down; from the rebel home to be beaten or beheaded, or confiscated or imprisoned; The first Taoist aunt in the temple, the division of the teaching workshop.

The two monks of Tantuo Temple still returned to the temple, and Jinghuiguan was forced to exonerate all the Taoist aunts, and took out two silver taels from the property copied out of the temple, and each person had a hundred taels of silver as compensation.

The sentence was completed and then executed. When Fa Jue and the other death row prisoners were escorted out of the prison and went to the entrance of the vegetable market, the streets were already crowded with people, and all the people were applauding.

Fa Jue had already fainted to death after hearing that he was sentenced to Ling Chi, he never dreamed that Mrs. Fengsheng couldn't even protect herself, she knew it now, why bother in the first place.

Along the way, the prisoners were depressed, and only Wang Daopo, who was riding on the wooden donkey, was screaming at first, and then there was no movement.

The onlookers pointed and pointed, and some said: "There is such a silver and evil Taoist aunt in the world, and it is said that suffering today is also evil and evil retribution." I expected that she was dragged by the wooden donkey for a while, and the wooden pestle was messy for a while, and she had already spilled all the feces and urine, and before she could cut off her head, she would die. ”

When someone next to him heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You're wrong, I think she must be extremely happy today, and I guess she can't pee if she wants to pee now." ”

There was an old man behind them, and he said, "She has no regrets, so don't make fun of her." The ancients said well: Heaven is forgivable, but self-inflicted sins cannot live. She is also looking for her own death, but she knows that in life, no matter whether she is rich or poor, she must not harm others. If she is a Taoist aunt and serves wholeheartedly, how could she suffer such a catastrophe. If your heart is to the mortal world, find a good man for the rest of your life, and there will be no disaster today. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and I hope you will also take her as a warning and stop making fun of her. ”

When they arrived at the Dharma field, all the criminals were beheaded one after another to show the public, and the fainting Fajue was also cut awake, and after 3,600 knives, only half of them were cut, and the person died.

After this case, Yue Su became a famous Jingshi. The name of Yue Qingtian spread all over the streets and alleys of Yanjing, wine shops, and houses.

In the surrounding counties, some officials were trembling, and no one dared to harsh the people anymore, for fear of being sued to Shuntianfu. Many wronged people in the city came to the door to file lawsuits, and Yue Su tried them one by one, and the public security of the entire Yanjing City was much better all of a sudden.
