Chapter 337: Angry Reprimand
(
Two days later, Li Yuntian and Xue Lu arrived in Jinan City, and encountered several rebels on the way, which were picked up by Li Yuntian.
Knowing that the imperial court had sent reinforcements, the panicked people of Jinan City were immediately overjoyed, and went out of the city to greet them under the leadership of Wang Zhe, the political envoy of Shandong, and Cao Yu, the envoy of Shandong.
For Wang Zhe and Cao Yu, the arrival of Li Yuntian and Xue Lu finally relieved the two who had been in a tense state, especially Xue Lu, who would take over the 50,000 defenders in the city and fill the power vacancy left by the capture of Jin Rong, the commander of the capital of Shandong.
Li Yuntian had seen Wang Zhe and Cao Yu in the capital before, and the two sides were also acquaintances, after all, Li Yuntian was the imperial history who went out of Shandong, and some of the things that Wang Zhe and Cao Yu wanted to do in the capital needed Li Yuntian's help to pass the matter, so that the affairs of the two of them in the major ministries and courtyards in the capital could be handled smoothly and smoothly, and they would not be subjected to too much trouble.
The last time the two sides met, Li Yuntian was just a sixth-grade imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, while Wang Zhe and Cao Yu were the second-rank and third-grade members of the ruling side, and the grades between the two sides were far apart, and there was no subordinate relationship.
But this time, although Li Yuntian is still the imperial history of the six products of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he has an extra title on his head, and he has become the governor of Shandong under the imperial order of Emperor Xuande, and is in charge of the Shandong Political Envoy Division, the Shandong Provincial Envoy Department and the Shandong Metropolitan Division, and has become the boss of Wang Zhe and Cao Yu.
Wang Zhe is the political envoy of Shandong, and Huang Mingxuan, the political envoy of the right, is now in Jining City, and Jining Wharf is one of the most important wharves on the Grand Canal, which cannot be missed.
In addition to civil and military officials such as Wang Zhe and Cao Yu, Li Yuntian also met his grandfather Li Weixiao and his father Li Chengming in the crowd of greetings.
Since the Han King raised troops to rebel, the Li family left Lijiazhuang for refuge in two ways, all the way to Jinan City, and the other to Jining City, these two cities have the strongest Ming army. [33415671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 334 ruling the Ming Dynasty 337
Wang Zhe and Cao Yu held a banquet in the restaurant in Jinan City for Li Yuntian and Xue Lu to receive the wind and wash the dust, and the residence of the two had already been arranged, which was in the Yamen of the Shandong Dusi, so as to facilitate the military transfer of the two.
After the reception banquet, Li Yuntian led Xue Lu, Wang Zhe and Cao Yu and other officials to the lobby of the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, and according to the holy decree of Emperor Xuande, he wanted to try Jin Rong and other cadres here for the rebellion of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, and punish them in a canonical manner, so as to set an example.
Emperor Xuande hated Jin Rong and others' betrayal of the imperial court, if it weren't for Wang Zhe, Huang Mingxuan and Cao Yu who detected Jin Rong and others' rebellion in advance, then Jinan City would now be the world of the Han King.
Once the city of Jinan is lost, the city of Jining, which is located behind the city of Jinan, will also be in danger, and the king of Han can send people to cut off the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which can attack Beijing in the north or attack Nanjing in the south. The update is the fastest and most stable
Jin Rong's rebellion shocked the entire court, because there was no indication that Jin Rong would defect to the King of Han before this, although he secretly colluded with the King of Han, but on the surface he was loyal to the court, which also made the outside world be "confused" and "confused" by his illusion, and Li Jun, who went to Jinan City to sue the King of Han for rebellion, almost died in his hands.
Speaking of which, Jin Rong's friendship with Emperor Hong Xi was much deeper than that of the King of Han, and he had been working under Emperor Hong Xi during the Jing Dynasty, and later followed Emperor Yongle to the south, and had no intersection with King Han.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Yongle let Jin Rong take charge of the Shandong Capital Division, and Emperor Hongxi and Emperor Xuande did not touch him after they ascended the throne, and they were very kind to him, allowing him to secretly monitor the actions of the King of Han.
Jin Rong only narrowly deceived the outside world to successfully rebel, he was in charge of the defense of Jinan City, just when he gathered his subordinates to prepare to arrest the Shandong Bu Political Envoy and the Shandong Inspector and other officials who finally declared Emperor Xuande, and then opened the gate of Jinan City to welcome the Han rebels, Wang Zhe, Huang Mingxuan and Cao Yu received a secret report, and then mobilized their guards to capture them in one fell swoop.
With the arrest of Jin Rong and others, the tense situation in Jinan City stabilized, and Wang Zhe, Huang Mingxuan, and Cao Yu personally ascended to the head of the city to supervise the battle, and kept the rebels who came to take over Jinan City out of the city.
In the face of the city of Jinan, which has high walls and thick guards, the rebels under the city are helpless, and they can only return after some threats and temptations.
After all the officials took their seats on both sides of the Yamen Hall of the Shandong Metropolitan Division, Li Yuntian, who was sitting behind the table in front of the hall, asked people to bring Jin Rong and other rebellious people to the lobby with an expressionless face.
Soon after, with a loud sound of chains, Jin Rong and others wearing handcuffs and shackles were escorted into the lobby.
After coming to the lobby, Jin Rong did not kneel, but raised his head and looked at Li Yuntian, looking quite unconvinced, while the prisoners behind him knelt on the ground one after another, drooping their heads and not daring to look at Li Yuntian.
"Get on your knees!" Seeing this, the two sergeants who were following Jin Rong kicked him hard in the crook of the leg.
Jin Rong couldn't help but bend his legs, and knelt on the ground with a thud, trying to stand up but was held down by the two sergeants behind him. [33415671 ruling the Ming Dynasty] 334 ruling the Ming Dynasty 337
"Jin Rong, are you guilty?" After witnessing the scene in front of him, Li Yuntian's face sank, and he asked loudly.
"Becoming a king or defeating a king, since Lao Tzu has fallen into your hands, I don't want to live, let you dispose of it, if Lao Tzu blinks an eye, he will not be raised by his mother's father." Jin Rong sneered, raised his head and glared at Li Yuntian with a dissatisfied expression, "If it weren't for Lao Tzu being betrayed, you wouldn't want to enter Jinan City!" ”
"On the battlefield, victory is victory, defeat is defeat, where are there so many excuses?"
The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and he looked at Jin Rong coldly and said, "If this official is not mistaken, you were just a small hundred households at the time of the Jingjing, and now you are the governor of the military capital and the capital of the government, and you are in charge of the Shandong capital and enjoy the glory and wealth, it is not the grace of the first emperor and the emperor, however, you don't want to repay the emperor's kindness, and you plot to rebel against the 'chaos', which is really a great crime!" ”
"Hmph, the world originally belonged to the King of Han, and this official is just complying with the mandate of heaven." Jin Rong's face changed a few times when he heard this, and he snorted coldly and said.
"Joke! The first emperor passed the throne to the emperor, not the king of Han, how can the world be said by the king of Han? Li Yuntian retorted with a cold expression, "After the emperor ascended the throne, he paid great respect to the king of Han, but the king of Han inflated his selfish desires, provoked a war regardless of the suffering of the people, and vainly wanted to usurp the throne, is this the so-called compliance with the mandate of heaven?" ”
"This official knows that you are from a Jinshi and can speak well, but this official can't say that you are above the court, and it is you cunning ministers who deceive the emperor, and the king of Han will raise troops to clear the king's side!" Jin Rong's brows furrowed a few times, and then he glared at Li Yuntian and said.
"Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has rested with the people, relieved the famine and punished corruption, so that the world is peaceful and the people are happy. When Li Yuntian heard this, he knew that Jin Rong had run out of words, stretched out his hand to point at him, and said with a sneer, "It's just that you want to make trouble with your selfish desires, and you want to use this to increase your official rank, so you rebelled with King Han!" ”
"Since this official has fallen into your hands, it is useless to say so much, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the honorable people!" Jin Rong's face became a little pale, and he wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find any reason, so he asked for "sex" to give up playing with Li Yuntian again, and looked at Li Yuntian with a gloomy face.
"Rebellion is the first of the heinous crimes, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all those who plot rebellion and rebellion will be executed by Ling Chi, and the grandfathers, fathers, sons, uncles, brothers, nephews, cousins of the clan, grandfathers, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law, and family slaves with different surnames, and those over the age of 16 will be beheaded!"
Li Yuntian knew that Jin Rong was now holding the heart of death, and it was useless to talk more, so he said to him coldly, "For those under the age of sixteen, the men are slaves, and the women are 'prostitutes'!" ”
"Bring it on!" As he spoke, Li Yuntian waved his hand at the sergeant standing at the door and said in a deep voice.
After a while, under the gaze of everyone in the hall, a group of men and women, old and young, dressed in prison uniforms, were brought up by the sergeants and knelt in the hall with a hula la.
Perhaps the atmosphere in the lobby was too solemn, and several children were so frightened that they cried, and they were quickly covered by the frightened female relatives on the side, for fear of angering Li Yuntian, who was sitting in the lobby.
After seeing the group of men, women, and children, Jin Rong's eyes couldn't help but reveal a complicated look, and his expression became gloomy, these people were his family members, and they were imprisoned with him.
"Jin Rong, this official asked you, did you think about your parents, wife and children when you rebelled?" Li Yuntian glanced at those frightened family members, and said to Jin Rong expressionlessly, "This official doesn't know what high-ranking officials and lords the King of Han promised you, but those who are courtiers should not be half-hearted, and go to Qin and Duchu, otherwise they will be sorry for the king and their parents, which is really disloyal, unfilial piety, and unkindness." ”
Jin Rong's face was cloudy, and his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of shame, if it weren't for the fact that the King of Han promised him a high-ranking official and a generous lord, and the King of Han had the strength to overthrow Emperor Xuande, how could he be "bewitched" by Gu, and then rebelled with the King of Han.
Once the King of Han inherits the unification, then Jin Rong is the first meritorious minister of Conglong, and will be crowned the Duke of the Kingdom by the King of Han, and officially join the ranks of the Ming Dynasty.
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if you plot rebellion and rebellion, once it is verified, you will not be pardoned!" Li Yuntian was keenly aware of Jin Rong's complicated mood at this time, and looked at him silently and shouted, "Jin Rong, now that the evidence of the crime is conclusive, can you plead guilty?" ”
Jin Rong immediately closed his eyes when he heard this, his expression looked a little painful, he was caught by someone, and he searched out the letters with the King of Han from his home, and he had nothing to say.
Seeing this situation, the daughter of the Jin family, who was kneeling on the side, knew that a catastrophe was coming, and she couldn't help crying bitterly.
Different from ordinary death row prisoners, when encountering this kind of rebellious prisoner, there is no need to go through the autumn judgment of the imperial court, as long as the evidence of the crime is conclusive, the death penalty will be carried out immediately, and the punishment will be extremely severe.
"This official was ordered by the emperor to patrol Shandong, and now the capital of Shandong is under the command of Jin Rong and others to collude with the Han King to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the master and slave are all executed by Ling Chi, and even the nine clans, those over the age of 16 are beheaded, and the rest are slaves and maids!" Seeing that Jin Rong had nothing to say, Li Yuntian announced coldly.
Jin Rong's face turned pale when he heard this, his lips trembled slightly, and the Jin family's family members immediately cried, and several people collapsed to the ground under pressure
