The citizens of Suzhou had no idea what had happened that night, and for them, the end of the morning light was just the beginning of a new day.

Li Shuchang was anxious all night, and at the end of the morning, Li Shuchang, who was stranded in the East Garden of the Humble Administrator's Garden, was summoned by the emperor.

Begonia Spring Dock is a small courtyard of reading, book-scroll bricks, two begonias in the courtyard, the courtyard is paved with blue, red and white pebbles inlaid into the begonia pattern, and the begonia flowers contrast with each other, and now this small courtyard is opened up as Ye Zhao's study.

Ye Zhao also stayed up all night, and in the evening he received a simple confession from the Assassin's maid, and now the Assassin has been handed over to the Homeland Security Bureau for thorough investigation.

Bai Laoheng, the overseer of Nanjing, who is in charge of the soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been serving left and right since Ye Zhao came to Suzhou, and he was guarding Ye Zhao's side last night, not daring to leave an inch.

This Miao warrior, together with Lei Chong, Ye Tuwa and other cutting-edge commanders, served as the commander of various important military regions, and was also the embodiment of the emperor's unparalleled control over military power.

In fact, in today's military academy education, the spirit of loyalty and martial arts ranks first, and the new generation of young officers is often more fanatical, fearing that it will be similar to the samurai sword loyalty ideology that was desperately propagated during the Meiji Restoration in their country.

Sometimes I can't help but feel sorry in Ye Zhao's heart, the militaristic tendency in the army makes people smell a trace of danger, and I don't know if after his death is extinguished, the country will become a more [***] feudal empire.

But at least for now, absolute control of military power can allow Ye Zhao to forcibly push through various changes.

Ye Zhao was already ready to deal with the assassination in a low-key manner, and last night, he rejected Bai Laoheng's proposal to impose martial law in the whole city.

Li Shuchang as a local member of the imperial study, and Bai Laoheng's personal relationship is not bad, into the study, see Bai Laoheng made a look at himself, he knew that the emperor did not blame himself, a little peace of mind, but first someone sued the emperor, and then, it was an earth-shattering assassination case, the governor of a province, Li Shuchang really couldn't escape the blame, standing in front of the dragon book case with his hands down, Li Shuchang was full of shame, and said: "Shengshang, the ministers are ashamed of the emperor's kindness, please treat the sins of the ministers." ”

Ye Zhao didn't speak, picked up the assassin's confession, Bai Laoheng hurriedly walked a few steps to take it, and then handed it to Li Shuchang.

The assassin was sent to the hospital for gastric lavage, and her surname was fine, but she probably thought that her time of death had come, so she scolded Ye Zhao for being a cruel and faint king, saying that she died for the thousands of fair party members and people who died in vain, and only hated that she could not kill this unscrupulous emperor.

Her tone is very similar to the pamphlet of the Fairness Party propaganda and slandering Ye Zhao, in the pamphlet of the Fairness Party, she accused Ye Zhao of plotting to usurp power, slacking money, and even accusing the royal family of accumulating wealth, Ye Zhao is the representative of the interests of big businessmen and big chaebols, bankrupt peasants, and laborers who are brutally exploited, in fact, they are all victimized by Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao and big businessmen, big chaebols, feudal bureaucrats, etc., have become moths in society, and the wealth created by the great development of industry is wantonly plundered.

Although the empire developed steadily economically, the transition from a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy to industrialization inevitably produced various contradictions, as well as a new class of extreme poverty, a class of serious social dissatisfaction, including the middle class, which believed that distribution was unfair, and this class was also the most easily attracted by the revolution.

In fact, Ye Zhao has always believed that it may be difficult to gradually address people's needs, but it is the most difficult to build a healthy political system, and without the latter, any so-called promise to improve people's livelihood is a castle in the air.

Seeing this confession or a rebellious declaration, Ye Zhao was almost certain that the assassin was a member of the Fairness Party, and the Fairness Party was extremely patient, they should have found out the relationship between the royal family and Taihexing, maybe they sent the assassin when Taihexing hired a maid, or maybe they later pulled this maid into their camp through various channels, but the specific details were for the security department to interrogate and verify.

After reading the confession, Li Shuchang immediately said: "It's a fair bandit." ”

Ye Zhao bowed slightly, and gestured to the guard on the side of the door, and after a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and a guard led a young man in his twenties in.

The young man was wearing a horse coat and green robe, and his face looked like Gang'an, and it was Gang'an's youngest son Derong.

Twenty-two years old, although his father was executed for treason, neither he nor his mother and brother were implicated, and the emperor was even more grateful for the friendship of the past and rewarded him with some silver money. Despite this, the family wanted to live in a low-key seclusion and moved to Suzhou.

The Gang'an family is the Dangjia family, and after coming to Suzhou, he changed his surname to Jiao, and opened a grocery store, but he also had no worries about food and clothing.

Derong's wife was not in good health, and she was sick in bed all the year round, so she accepted a concubine room, surnamed Wang, born beautiful, and studied private school for two years, and her surname was active, and she was not easy in the room.

A few months ago, Wang went to Suzhou Department Store to shop, and Yuan Jiasan's grandson Yuan Shijie met.

Later, the matter was revealed, and the Wang family made a lot of noise at home, and finally the surname Suo moved out to live with Yuan Shijie, Derong was young and vigorous, and came to the door to theorize, tired of the old mother chasing out to dissuade him, and was pushed and abused by the Yuan family, and passed away in a few days after returning home.

Derong immediately handed over the complaint to the Suzhou Prefecture Court, suing the Wang family against Yuan Shijie's annihilation, as well as the case of the Yuan family's evil slaves beating and abusing the old mother and causing her death.

In fact, the eldest brother Derong persuaded him to swallow this breath, so as not to invite disaster for the whole family, after all, after all, after one family is a traitor, the other is the family of the eunuchs, but Derong's surname is stubborn and determined to fight this lawsuit.

However, after the case was handed to the court, it was like a stone in the sea, and there were many people who went to his house to intimidate him to calm down, and at this time, the emperor inspected the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, Jiangsu, and Derong was heartbroken, so he sued the royal writ.

The complaint to the emperor relied on a sense of anger, at this time was led by the guards to meet the emperor, Derong didn't know what it was like, the emperor was his enemy who killed his father, but his father betrayed first, and the emperor was very generous to his family, and it was really difficult for him to know what kind of feelings he had in his heart.

Slowly knelt down and kowtowed, "The criminal minister Xiaoer Derong kowtows to the long-lived lord, long live long live, long live, long live!" ”

Looking at this young man with a mouth and nose that looked like Gang'an, at that moment, Ye Zhao was a little stunned, and suddenly, he remembered a lot of past events, the past that was full of flames.

If it were now, would you still kill Gang'an? Ye Zhao immediately knew that for the sake of law and discipline, Gang'an would definitely be severely punished, but the old people who followed him to raise troops back then were really getting fewer and fewer.

Sighing softly, "Get up, you've grown so big." "When Derong was a child, Ye Zhao hugged him.

"Your mother, dead?" When Ye Zhao asked this, the figure of a beautiful woman flashed in front of him, smiling and chatting with him.

"Yes, thank you for your concern!" Derong kowtowed vigorously, choked up, and tears flowed out.

Ye Zhao didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, he said: "You just go, I will transfer your situation to the Jiangsu Provincial Division." ”

Derong didn't dare to say more, kowtowed hard, slowly got up, and walked backwards outward.

"Third son......" Ye Zhao suddenly stopped him, looked at Derong who was stunned, and said slowly: "If you have time, write to me." ”

Derong bowed his head slightly, tears in his eyes, and stepped back.

Bai Laoheng and Li Shuchang did not squeak, the emperor remembered the old feelings, and they all knew it.

Ye Zhao picked up the table again, the imperial law has the crime of complication, "The wife and concubine shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than three months but not more than two years, and the husband shall be guilty of the same crime." The husband shall be fined between $100 and $2,000 for his wife at home. The husband or wife of the victim tells the story. ”

To a certain extent, this clause is naturally a product of the patriarchal society, and only a fine is imposed on a man, but if he is annihilated with a married woman, he will be imprisoned for the same crime as a woman, and as for concubines, he naturally has no right to denounce men.

In this case, it is undoubtedly confirmed that Yuan Shijie and Wang are guilty of the crime of complication, but there is controversy over how to define Jiao's death.

Yuan Shijie and Derong's very different family backgrounds will inevitably become factors for judges to consider, and Ye Zhao also wants to get these.

"This case will be handed over to the Jiangsu court." As he spoke, Ye Zhao put down his feelings, his heart was a little heavy, now it is actually a society governed by man, and this can be clearly understood from Derong's case.

It is easy to fight the country, but it is too difficult to shape a country with thousands of years of dynastic tradition into its ideal society.

"O Chun Zhai, tell me, what do you need to do so that everyone can deny themselves and serve the public?" Ye Zhao sighed deeply, and was a little excited.

Li Shuchang saw the emperor tired for the first time, I don't know why, my heart was sour, yes, the officials who came out of the imperial study, everyone thought that the emperor was a saint, and promoting the parliamentary system was actually a disguised weakening of imperial power, and weakening his own power, who could do this kind of great wisdom and courage in the world?

In fact, Li Shuchang even felt that with the foresight of the great emperor, the ability of a saint, and the blood of the royal family, even if the king would rule for thousands of years in the future, why not?

This is the true feeling of this radical reformist courtier, and it can only be said that the emperor's civil and martial arts really made the "Li Shuchangs" have to support them from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your Majesty, if the minister can relieve the emperor's sorrow a little, he is willing to die!" Li Shuchang was in a turbulent mood and really didn't know how to express it.

Bai Laoheng also sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the slave is a rough man, but it's a pity that the emperor is worried about it, it's not the slave who desperately loses his head to solve the emperor's worries!" ”

Ye Zhao looked at the two of them, bowed slightly, and said, "You all go down, you haven't slept all night, it's time to rest." ”

At this moment, the guards hurried in, but they were sent a submission from the Suzhou Internal Affairs Bureau and the State Security Bureau, but the female Assassin had already confessed, and now the security forces had been dispatched to search for the Fairness Party, according to the Assassin, after the Emperor came to Suzhou, the number of Fairness Party members who came to Suzhou also surged, apparently the Fairness Party saw this as a good opportunity to assassinate the Emperor.

Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "The wildfire can't be burned, and the spring breeze blows and grows again." ”
