Chapter 131: Jane in the Emperor's Heart

In the face of Zhu Xuanjiao's aggressiveness, Xiao Jing just slammed his head on the ground, lying down, probably too old, and his thin body trembled in this hall. Bayi Chinese Network

Seeing him like this, Zhu Xuan's tone softened and said, "You get up and speak." Xiao Jing stood up with a slight tremble, and bowed to Zhu Xuanjiao, and said, "Your Majesty asked the slave maid these words, but is it because of Zhang Fang's matter?" ,,ZHANG Fang......

This humanities and military officials still have some vague impressions, and some people also found that Zhang Fang did not come to the court today, although the court only needs officials of a certain level to join, but the imperial envoy is different, although the official position is humble, he also has the right to enter the court. But obviously, that Zhang Fang didn't seem to appear for some reason.

Zhu Xuanzhu didn't expect Xiao Jing to say it thoroughly, and said with a cold face: "Exactly, I have repeatedly warned that Dongchang, as a factory guard, is the heart of the palace, the more this is the case, the more you should be cautious and walk on thin ice, don't let people criticize, I ordered you to govern Dongchang, but why did someone from Dongchang rush into the Metropolitan Procuratorate today and arrest the minister without authorization?" ”

The civil and military officials were all surprised, only then did they know that such a shocking thing had happened today, and many people whispered, and at this time, many imperial envoys stood up and said indignantly: "Your Majesty Oak is the master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Zhu Jingzhu looked directly at Xiao Jing and did not speak.

Hua is waiting, waiting for Xiao Jing's annotation.

Xiao Jing looked indifferent, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Fang is guilty!" Zhu Xuan's face sank a little, and at this time, Xiao Jing dared to be hard-mouthed, he laughed angrily, and said, "Okay, okay, you said you were guilty, then I came to ask you, where is his guilt." Xiao Jing said: "Zhang Fangkou did not choose to speak, insulting the holy slave and maid as the head of the East Factory, so he naturally wanted to send him down." ”

Zhu Xuanzhu sneered: "You said that he insulted me, but I didn't see his recital, even if he insulted me, I have my own to weigh it, why bother you with too much." ”

This sentence is already very polite, at least this Xiao Jing has never heard Zhu Jingjiao say such heavy words to him.

Xiao Jing's performance did not have that kind of panic, but his eyes became more and more determined, and he said slowly: "If it is just a book of insults, the slave and maid have nothing to say, but the bad thing is that this Zhang Fang actually handed over the insulting article to the newspaper, and spread it to the world with great fanfare, the so-called son does not say that the mother is ugly, and the monarch and the minister are like the father and son, where is the courtier to publicize the king's past?" Seeing that the influence was too great, the slave maid made her own opinion, ordered someone to smash the newspaper hall, confiscated the newspaper, and took Zhang Fang to wait for His Majesty to dispose of it. ”

Zhu Zhizhu listened to his words and was quietly stunned: "Really? ”

Xiao Jing took out a newspaper from his sleeve, 1 cautiously took a few steps forward, held the newspaper high, and said, "Please read it for Your Majesty." "A little eunuch took Xiao Jing's newspaper and went up the jade steps of His Majesty Dan to deliver the newspaper to the imperial case.

Zhu opened the newspaper and only skimmed it for a while, and his face began to change.

On the front page of this so-called Dong'an Daily, Zhang Fang's article was published, and the first sentence of the article was, "Woohoo, the overthrow of Sheji is only today." ,。 This sentence can be described as bold, but Zhu Zhizhi opened his mouth widely, and he did not receive such a book, but this article was written in a newspaper, not for the emperor but for the people of the world.

To show the emperor, it can be said to be an exhortation. But scolding the emperor for his mistakes in front of others is suspected of disloyalty.

In the second paragraph of the article, he began to talk about Zhu Weijiao's "negligence, saying that it relied on the factory guards, especially the Jinyiwei as the most, the Jinyiwei was in the Yingchun Fang, and did misdeeds, which led to the people's uprising.

As for the words that quote the scriptures and classics at the end, Zhu Zhizhu doesn't need to read it, he can probably know what he is talking about.

He took a deep breath and leaned back on the royal chair, his whole body did not move, his eyes half open and half closed, and began to organize his thoughts.

Zhang Fang is very bold, so much so that he is talking nonsense, but can he be cured of his crimes?

Can't 1

If it was changed to Taizu or Emperor Wen, maybe he would have been pressed into the edict and ready to be executed, so that the whole family would be beheaded, but it is not impossible. But Zhu Xuanjiao is different, he still cares about his reputation, if he punishes the crime, it will inevitably be true, and he constantly boasts that he can let his words be accessible, but now he wants to cure the crime of a royal envoy, which is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

But what about Xiao Jing? Xiao Jing ordered Dongchang to rush into the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was indeed a bit indulgent, but Zhu Jingzhu not only couldn't cure him, but maybe he had to praise him.

What is the East Factory? Dongchang is the emperor's knife and a sharp blade to maintain the Son of Heaven, no matter how confused Zhu Zhizhi is, he also knows that the existence of this Dongchang is to protect himself. Now someone dares to insult the emperor outside, if Dongchang is indifferent, this is a dereliction of duty. And what Xiao Jing did was just to fulfill his duties, he was not wrong, how could he punish the crime?

But who is at fault?

Zhu Xuanjiao's gaze fell on Liu Chengfeng in the newspaper.

At the same time, Xiao Jing's eyes had already passed a trace of seriousness. He knew this emperor too well, this emperor was diligent and shrewd, he was ambitious, he wanted to create a peaceful and prosperous world, to be a king like the three emperors and the five emperors.

Zhu is not without weaknesses, for example, he cares about reputation.

And the most powerful part of this article is that it talks about the emperor's protection of Jinyiwei, which led to the disaster of Yingchunfang, and now, this article has been circulated through the newspaper. Xiao Jing believes that with Zhu Xuanjiao's personality, in order to let the world know that he is not suspected of harboring or even conniving at Jinyiwei's pro-army, he will definitely give Liu Chengfeng death to take care of his reputation.

The arrest of Zhang Fang and the copying of the newspaper hall are just to cover up people's eyes and ears, to make things bigger, attract the attention of the world, and let civil and military officials participate in it. And once this is the case, then this article will definitely spread around, the more people know, the more difficult it is for Zhu Zhizhu to ride a tiger, if he does not kill Liu Chengfeng, then the people of the world will criticize it, and will only think that the emperor is a villain, and conniving at Liu Chengfeng's butcher, as the emperor, in order to avoid trouble and keep his holy name, he is naturally quick to cut through the mess, and as a result, Liu Chengfeng is in trouble.

Xiao Jing quietly raised his head and saw Zhu Xuanjiao above His Majesty, the emperor with a weak body, and there was indeed a trace of murderous intent in his eyes at this moment.

Xiao Jing was already sure that everything he had arranged had been successful, and his goal had been achieved.

And Zhu Zhizhu was sitting on the royal chair, the whole person was like a stupid chicken and did not move, he did not have a killing machine, with Zhu Zhijiao's cleverness, of course, he understood that if he wanted to calm Zhang Fang's similar speculation, it was the best way to kill Liu Chengfeng immediately, kill him, and the rumors would be self-defeating.

But......

Liu Chengfeng was too impressed by Zhu Zhijiao, he taught the prince to read and treat himself, which was a great achievement, and he was executed regardless of right or wrong.

Zhu Xuanjiao hesitated......

He remembered a sentence: Your Majesty, even saints can make mistakes, as long as you know that mistakes can be corrected, Your Majesty must be a saint.

Now that Liu Chengfeng is rashly executed, can it also be said that knowing mistakes can be changed?

"I don't know what I'm doing wrong." Zhu Yizhu muttered a sentence, cheered up again, put the newspaper on the imperial case, raised his eyes, and said: "Zhang Fang's words are empty and ridiculous, but I have always been unscrupulous, and Dongchang here is still quickly release this Zhang Fang." As for the people of the newspaper, they are not to be embarrassed. ”

Zhu Yizhu stood up, his eyes fell on Xiao Jing, and said, "Xiao Aiqing is not wrong, but next time there is such a matter, it will be reported to me indirectly, and I will deal with it." ”

"The slave obeys." Xiao Jing smiled quietly, a trace of surprise passed in his eyes, obviously because Zhu Yizhu never mentioned Liu Chengfeng, which made him feel a little strange.

Zhu Xuanzhu snorted and continued: "However, the article in this newspaper talked about the matter of Jinyiwei's bombing and suppressing the people's rebellion, and it seems that when the trial is held, I am afraid that rumors have spread. Today, Suo Xing took advantage of this court discussion, I came to observe the trial, and the hundred officials were the witnesses, where is the king of the Ministry of Shangshu? ”

Wang Shu stood up and said: "The minister is here."

Zhu Xuanzhu said: "Add a seat to Wang Aiqing, just sit at the head of His Majesty Dan, you will preside over the trial here, as for Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, Dongchang, and Beizhen Prefecture, they will also each select one person to accompany the interrogation, come to the person, and quickly go to Tiqin to enter the palace by Liu Chengfeng." ,…

Xiao Jing listened to Zhu Yijiao's words and thought that he had heard it wrong, but on his face, he still looked indifferent, as if the life and death of Liu Chengfeng had nothing to do with him. It's just that his heart has turned over the river and the sea, with his understanding of Zhu Xuanjiao, Liu Chengfeng will definitely die, why did it go wrong? What is Your Majesty thinking now? Could it be that this Liu Chengfeng has been reduced to the emperor's heart, and even His Majesty can't help but favor him a little bit in his heart?

Thinking of the four words Jian Zai Dixin, Xiao Jing's eyes wiped a trace of yin haze, if this is the case, this Liu Chengfeng will be even more tricky to deal with.

Xiao Jing thought about it for a while, and then, he smiled quietly, became calm again, and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, here in Dongchang, Suo Xing will let the 100 households come to the jury." With that, he stepped aside and said no more. When he glanced at these two groups of civil and military officers out of the corner of his eye, he found that Li Dongyang, the cabinet minister, was looking at him with a cold gaze.

Xiao Jing didn't look at Li Dongyang, but in his heart, he suddenly had a deep fear of this Li Dongyang.

The public case of Yingchunfang has long attracted the attention of the courtiers, so when they heard that the emperor was going to try it here, no one objected, everyone retreated and gave up their positions, and 1 The little eunuchs also moved tables and chairs, Wang Shu was the chief judge, and sat on the left side of His Majesty, stroking the book case with his hand, looking ready.
