Chapter 0041 - Imperial Pre-trial Case

Zhu Youzhen was also secretly surprised by Man Gui's bravery and arrogance, and even said that he would do it, but fortunately, Gao Dewei and Gao De slammed it off, allowing him to punch Man Gui, and his strength was around three hundred and eighty catties! Man Gui's strength is more than 400 catties, and this pair of punches made Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen take three steps back, and Man Gui took two steps back!

As soon as the people saw Man Gui and said that they would do it, and at the same time cheered loudly, the people did not dare to do it, the cheering was enough, and the onlookers had gathered three or four thousand people!

As soon as the wounded soldiers saw the general soldier move, they immediately pulled out their knives to support Man Gui, and the scene was almost out of control!

Lu Xiangsheng saw that Man Gui was going to go again, and hurriedly stopped! "Lord Man, this is going to be a big mess! This is Kyoshi! Don't forget! ”

Cui Yingyuan also pulled out his waist knife, "Jinyiwei listens to orders!" None of the people present were allowed to move! Whoever dares to move, don't hesitate to kill! ”

With Cui Yingyuan's roar, more than a hundred Jinyi guards who followed Cui Yingyuan all pulled out their waist knives at the same time, and the embroidered spring knives shone in the sun!

There were also a few brocade guards in plainclothes mixed with the crowd of ordinary people, constantly scolding and controlling the crowd, and the scene was immediately controlled!

Man Gui was yelled at by Cui Yingyuan, and immediately regained his senses, and at the same time broke out in a cold sweat, no matter how high his status is and how much credit he has, this is the important place of Gyeonggi after all! It's not his big tent in the Chinese army, it's not where he plays prestige! And he also saw Cui Yingyuan's intention to protect the future of this mask! Knowing that his origins may not be small! Hurriedly shouted at a group of wounded soldiers who drew their knives, "Who told you to draw your knives?" Put it away! ”

Although Cui Yingyuan looked at the Xunlou, knowing that he was Wang Chengen's nephew, his arms couldn't reach his thighs, if he really pursued it, the ten full-fledged three-grade Mangui couldn't withstand one seven-grade Jianxunlou! Don't look at the backer on the surface, this is the iron rule of officialdom! But considering the identity of the Mangui military officer, Cui Yingyuan still shouted, "Young Master Zhen, Lord Man, don't fight, otherwise let's do this first, Lord Man, you go back first, and let the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division take away the wounded soldiers who made trouble!" Young Master Inspector, you go back and invite the prince to come, this matter is like this, and in the end, it should be decided by the Holy Commander! If the dispute continues, if the Jiannu army comes after a while, the loss will still be the imperial court! ”

Zhu Youzhen had no opinion on this arrangement, and Man Gui was furious, "No, people must be taken away by me!" The people of the barracks, they must be disposed of by the barracks! These brothers were all wounded in the war with Jiannu! They are heroes! They can't be allowed to go to the yamen to be punished! If they are going to die, they must die on the battlefield! ”

A group of wounded soldiers also shouted, "Yes! We're not going anywhere! We're going back to the barracks! We're going to die on the battlefield! We can't be taken to the yamen to be humiliated! ”

Cui Yingyuan frowned! Staring at the inspection of Xun Tower, the eyes of the audience fell on this seven-grade small flag again!

Jian Xunlou took a step forward, and a sense of justice surrounded him! "No matter what the circumstances, you can't bully the people, you can't stick a knife in the people, you are fighting for the people, and you turn your head and bully the people, isn't it counterproductive? Okay, since you don't want them to be escorted to the Five Cities Terracotta Division, then in this way, let the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division be taken care of on the spot! In this urn city, I will now go to the prince and ask the prince to ask for the emperor's holy decree, is this always okay? ”

Man Gui's brain was not as fast as that of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, so he paused for a moment, nodded in a deep voice, "This is okay, but it can't go out of the city defense range of Lord Lu!" When the prince comes, the old man will also enter the city and plead for our soldiers in person! ”

This is the best way for the time being, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the Jinyi Guard, the Imperial History Yamen, and the City Defense Battalion have no opinions, and the people are also watching the development of the situation!

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen stepped on the war horse in a dashing manner, and took Gao Dewei and Gao Demeng, who were slightly injured, to the inner city!

Wang Chengen also has a lot of eyes and ears, he already knows what happened today, and secretly sighs that the emperor can leave the palace at will, this is a thunder! Complaining is complaining, five hundred internal guards have already been mobilized, and they are about to go to the city gate! Outside the palace gate, I met the inspection tower of the horse, and my heart was a lot more settled!

Wang Chengen didn't know how to greet the emperor, rubbing his hands, looking a little funny.

Jian Xunlou's anger did not subside at this time, and he jumped off the horse at once, "Princess, there is something to report to your subordinates, let's go to the mansion and talk about it." ”

Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was really angry! Hurriedly waved his hand to the large internal guards and said, "All stand by in place!" "Follow the emperor closely to his private residence outside the palace!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took two steps, and suddenly remembered that he was Wang Chengen's nephew, and now he was not the emperor, so he hurriedly walked behind Wang Chengen, and the two of them also had a tacit understanding, Wang Chengen didn't say anything, and went directly to the backyard when he entered the private house!

"Your Majesty, such a trivial matter, forget it, right? Now there is a war, the problem with the army, not a small one, take your time? Wang Chengen asked tentatively, when he saw that Zhu Youzhen was coming back, he knew that he was going back to the palace to change clothes and go to the city gate in person~!

Zhu Youzhen said in a deep voice, "No! You go outside and wait now, I have to solve today's matter personally! The army of the Ming Dynasty must have only the emperor and the country in mind! There is only the law! ”

Wang Chengen didn't dare to say anything, so he had to wait for the emperor to enter the secret passage, and then retreated outside the palace gate to wait.

Within a quarter of an hour, the emperor came out of the palace with a large car! Next to the car are Cao Huachun and Yang Siqing, why did the emperor come out so quickly, because the emperor's inner palace courtyard is not far from the palace gate, and Cao Huachun and Yang Siqing are always waiting outside the courtyard to wait!

The brigade of men and horses marched towards the city gate! At this time, this matter has caused a storm in the city! Of course, all the yamen knew what had happened, and they were all wondering for the high profile of Jinyiwei, but they didn't expect a small flag of Jinyiwei to be so domineering? But it's not about their own family, who dares to come out and mix blindly? Only Yu Dacheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, can't escape, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War! The sitting hall of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division was his own nephew Yu Bingliang, and he had to take Yu Bingliang and quickly found Yuan Keli and Qian Longxi, as well as the emperor Xu Guangqi! These three people are all veterans of the Four Dynasties, and he Yu Dacheng is usually not bad, so he invited these bigwigs out together! I hope to be able to say something for my nephew, and it is better not to affect my own nephew!

Xu Guangqi was the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and in the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618), the Northern Houjin rebel army attacked the border pass, and was recommended by someone to introduce him, and the Ming court summoned Xu Guangqi to fall ill. Xu Guangqi wrote in a letter to Jiao Hong: "The country is not armed, and for a long time, once it provokes, it cannot be written. The ministry of enlightenment is not suitable for the battle of the army, and there is no obligation to sit idly by, so as to bear the grace of the country and the teachings of the teacher". He not only did his best to die, but also inspired others to give up a comfortable life and go to the national disaster together. For more than three years until the third year of the Apocalypse (1621), Xu Guangqi was engaged in the work of selecting and training soldiers. During this period, Jiao Hong recommended Xu Guangqi to his own governor Yuan Keli of Denglai in the same year, Xu Guangqi's talent in weapons was fully appreciated by Yuan Keli, and later both of them advocated strengthening the control of North Korea in strategic thinking, but unfortunately in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the two were excluded by the eunuch party and resigned one after another. It's really a coincidence, Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi were born in the same year and month, and died in the same year and month. At this time, although Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli were over 60 years old, their patriotic loyalty to protect the country and defend the land was evident and did not allow them to be in their prime.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (1619), Xu Guangqi supervised the training of the new army with the new official title of Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi and Henan Province Supervisor of the Imperial History. He advocated that "the way of employing troops is all in selection and training" and "selection needs to be actually selected, and training needs to be practiced." During this period, he wrote various military notes, regulations, formations, etc., most of which were later compiled by him into the book "Xu's Words". However, due to financial constraints, the constraints of the ministers and other reasons, the training plan did not go well, Xu Guangqi also due to overwork, in the first year of the Apocalypse (1621) in March on the evacuation of Tianjin to "recuperate", in June Liaodong was defeated, and was called to Beijing, but in the end due to the manufacture of weapons and training plans could not be achieved, in December resigned to Tianjin again.

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, in order to win the hearts of the people, he planned to appoint Xu Guangqi as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the official position of assistant to the Hanlin Academy, but Xu Guangqi refused to take office, which caused dissatisfaction with the eunuch party and was impeached, and the emperor ordered him to "stay idle with the crown", so he returned to Shanghai (1624). During his "idle stay" in Shanghai, he wrote the Complete Book of Agricultural Administration (1625-1628). Xu Guangqi's self-compiled collection of military treatises, "Xu's Sayings," was also published at this time. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), the eunuch party impeached Xu Guangqi for training soldiers as "Meng Lang is not right", "cheating officials and stealing salaries", "misleading the country and bullying the king", etc., and the publication of "Xu's Words" is the answer to these untruths.

Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and in the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Xu Guangqiguan was reinstated.

"Lord Xu, I know that you usually don't have a particularly big advice and you won't get involved in these things, but today's scene is too big, and you have to trouble my brother! Please! Yu Dacheng bowed deeply to Xu Guangqi.

Xu Guangqi nodded, "Brother Dacheng, you don't need to see outside, the old man was sick a while ago, the court and the Beijing division had a lot of big things, and now the old man is sick and has to go to see it, I don't know why the emperor's heart has changed recently, although it is a good thing, but it is too much for the monarch, and it is also a hidden danger, I will go with you!" ”

Qian Longxi couldn't survive Yu Dacheng to come, at this time, when he heard that Xu Guangqi was willing to come out, he was naturally happy, in terms of official position, although Xu Guangqi was not as good as him, but in front of the emperor, Xu Guangqi was much greater than him, a cabinet minister! Yu Dacheng said that Yuan Keli was moved, and the four old ministers hurriedly went to catch up with the holy driver.

Originally, Yu Dacheng still wanted to go to Sun Shenxing, but Sun Shenxing was not in the mansion, nor was he in the yamen, the matter was urgent, and Yu Dacheng could only go to the emperor with three old ministers of sufficient weight!

Ride in person! Lu Xiangsheng, who was in charge of the city defense, was already frightened! Although I don't think there is anything wrong with my handling today, the pressure of the emperor's personal presence is as great as the sky!

The soldiers and horses of the five cities who came in a hurry sat in the hall Yu Bingliang and Cui Yingyuan, the governor of the Jinyi Guard, who had not yet left, and were even more frightened half to death! Especially Cui Yingyuan, since Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he has not seen the emperor's face! Although there was a matter of sending silver to Wang Chengen first, the power of heaven is unpredictable! Panic in my heart!

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" In the voice of the mountain shouting long live, the common people and the people in the yamen knelt down in a large area! Seeing that the excitement has not dispersed, there are many people who have been persecuted by wounded soldiers, and more and more people in the government have gathered, making this city wall particularly lively! Everyone didn't expect that the emperor's efficiency was so high, so soon, and the emperor came in person?

Everyone knelt on the ground, and all they felt was that they could hear their own heartbeat! After all, being in such a close space with the emperor is not something that can be encountered often!

Wang Chengen didn't have any communication with the emperor on the way here, and he was also panicked at this time! The emperor's pulse, he is getting more and more unable to grasp it! Civil-military relations in wartime are a very sensitive issue! If you don't handle it well, there will be a big mess! He was worried that the young emperor was going on another killing spree!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sat on the imperial throne and looked at the subjects kneeling on the ground, but his mood calmed down, as a ruler! Keeping a cool head at all times is a must! Even if you are angry, be calm and angry! "Everyone is my people of the Ming Dynasty, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the Son of Heaven, what is this day? It's the common people! Corrupt officials and corrupt officials will be killed, arrogant soldiers will be killed, and the evil force that bullies the common people will be killed, no matter when, no matter where, no matter how high his status is, and how great his role is! Those who do not do things for the people will be dismissed! Bullying the common people! I'm going to kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The emperor's tone must be fixed, and Lu Xiangsheng was so frightened that his soul flew away! The deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Yu Bingliang, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who rushed over, were even more frightened and almost sat on the ground! Dozens of wounded soldiers who were tied up were calmer than these few people, but a few of them were so frightened that they were ** on the spot!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and cleared his throat, "In the future, anyone who sees a bully, whether he is an official or a soldier, the common people will defend themselves and resist!" Those who see it can resist together, and will not tolerate illegal behavior! Whoever sees it is regarded as if he did not see it, and he will be punished as the sin of cover-up. Scofa! In this case, the officials who do not uphold the Da Ming Law do not ask the level of the official position! Take them all! ”

Shi Kefa knelt in the distance, thinking that he had misheard, he didn't expect the emperor to know the name of a Jiupin official? When he raised his head, he saw that the emperor was nodding at him, and he knew that he had heard correctly, the emperor was talking to him, so he hurriedly stood up, "You guys come with me!" ”

He ordered a few officials from the Imperial History Yamen to come out, and faced the deputy commander of the Northern City of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who had come from the beginning who was kneeling on the ground, "Take it!" ”

At this time, the officials present were all frightened to death, and they didn't expect a single official to be so bold! The deputy commander of the Terracotta Division is a member of the fourth grade!

The sitting hall of the Imperial History Yamen of the City Patrol was even more frightened, and he said in his heart that you are a sesame official, and you are a thirty-year-old person, how can you be like a stunned young man? Is this to let me patrol the city, the imperial history and the yamen, and offend everyone?

Shi Kefa thinks that it is enough to take down the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, he is an official who is directly in charge of affairs, he didn't dare to enforce the law just now, this is to maintain law and order! I can already give an explanation to the emperor and the people! "Your Majesty, the dereliction of duty officials have been taken."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen said lightly, "Is he alone?" Aren't there a lot of ministers kneeling here? If you see it, it's also dereliction of duty! ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng and Cui Yingyuan heard the emperor's words, they almost shouted injustice! I knew that things would turn out like this, and I wouldn't have come to lie down and wade in troubled waters! Wouldn't it be over pretending to be sick at that time?

Shi Kefa understood what the emperor meant, only to feel that the blood was pouring up on the top of his head, and the person was a little delirious in an instant! I shook it, and I almost didn't stand firm! But some of them have entered a sluggish state, and then they are the third grade masters! Those are all ministers of the state who can enter the palace!

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, being an official requires experience after all! It's not like you can get on the stage just if you put it on the table! It is not enough to have blood alone, without the city government and experience, "Fu Yongchun!" You go and take down the officials who are covering up the wounded soldiers! ”

Fu Yongchun was shocked, he didn't expect the emperor to call his name, and he was happy and surprised in his heart! But his age is forty, after all, he is hotter than Pharaoh Shi Ke, he stood up with his trembling legs, and said to the stunned officials in a trembling voice, "Take down Lu Xiangsheng and Cui Yingyuan!" ”

The audience was in an uproar, I didn't expect that this person who had the courage to do things from the military department of the sixth grade would really dare to say such a thing! Lu Xiangsheng is the chief general of the Royal Forest Army, and Cui Yingyuan is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, these are all officials who are in the sky! Several officials couldn't help but look at the emperor, their footsteps moved very slowly, and they only felt that this was a very important moment in their lives! Who knew that the little errand of the Imperial History Yamen who patrolled the city would be able to take these three major members in public?

Zhu Youzhen said lightly, "What? Didn't you hear Fu Yongchun's words? ”

Several officials woke up like a dream and put the chains on the heads of Lu Xiangsheng and Cui Yingyuan, the two of them were also old and spicy, and no one said a word, at this time it was the most unwise behavior to reason with the emperor in front of everyone!

Zhu Youzhen said to Wang Chengen beside him, "Pass the decree to let Man Gui enter the city!" Let the common people begin to identify the soldiers who caused the accident in the capital! ”

Wang Chengen didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but in front of everyone, it was inconvenient to give the emperor any advice at this time, so he had to do it one by one, with the emperor presiding, there would be nothing difficult in the world!

Eighty-nine wounded soldiers who caused the accident were pointed out! In addition to the more than 50 people who were originally arrested, more than 30 people who were lucky enough to hide among the wounded soldiers in an attempt to get through in a foolish attempt were also pointed out. They were all escorted and knelt by the city gate.

Man Gui and Yu Dacheng, Qian Longxi, Yuan Keli, and Xu Guangqi arrived at the scene almost at the same time, and when they saw this scene, everyone understood! Where is Mangui still the majesty of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen when he first saw him! Hunched his back and shrunk his head, kneeling on the ground in panic, he was still asked by Fu Yongchun to ask for it, and let him kneel with Lu Xiangsheng and Cui Yingyuan!

When Yu Dacheng saw this scene, he dared to speak and hid behind the other three old ministers. Qian Longxi, Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi didn't know what to say to the emperor about this matter, and they didn't know what the emperor was going to do next.

Emperor Chongzhen said lightly, "Yu Bingliang, you are the seat of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, I want to see you try the case in front of everyone today!" Case-solved! Does Da Ming Law know? Let's go! ”

Yu Bingliang lifted the official hat, "The subordinate takes the order!" As soon as he stood up, he fell a big heel, and no one in the audience dared to laugh, Yu Dacheng closed his eyes in shame!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, changed to a comfortable position, leaned on the armrest, and looked at Yu Bingliang as if watching a play, and his impression of him had been greatly discounted.

It was not easy for Yu Binghao to take a thousand pounds to the center of the field, but in the cold wind, he was already soaked with sweat in his official uniform! I just imagined that I would like to say like an ordinary trial, who is in the hall? But I remembered that I was not in court now! A strange tone of the hall word, only half of it was issued, and he swallowed it back hard, and everyone present felt sad when he heard it, and secretly looked at Yu Bingliang, his face was pale, and his eyes were black! It seems that he will faint at any time, and it is the first time for the common people to see the person who is trying the case, and the expression is even more painful than that of the person who committed the crime!

Yu Dacheng saw that his nephew was speechless for a long time, and he was anxious! He is such a nephew, and it took all his effort to pave this official road for him! Seeing that my nephew can't be on the stage no matter what! had to stand up, "Qi Shengshang, Yu Bingliang is unwell, the old minister is the secretary of the military department, and the old minister begs the emperor to let the old minister try on his behalf?" ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded, "There was no physical discomfort in the last dynasty yesterday, and there was no physical discomfort in the upper court today, now you are going to work, you are unwell, good, very good, since your body is so weak, return home sick, this official, you are not suitable!" Yu Dacheng, you come to trial! ”

When Yu Bingliang and Yu Dacheng heard the emperor's words, their legs were weak, and they almost fainted on the spot! Yu Dacheng knelt down to receive the order, but Yu Bingliang knelt down and didn't stand up, he really fainted, and was taken out of the field by the two Royal Forest Army!

Yu Dacheng was distressed when he saw his nephew being taken out, but he struggled to stand up, and he was able to become a cabinet minister, which is not comparable to ordinary officials!

Yu Dacheng cleared his throat and learned about the mistakes committed by the accused wounded soldiers, most of them were eaten and taken for nothing, and only four of them committed the case of ** people's daughter! Yu Dacheng condemned the four people to death and beheaded them! Punish others with ranging from 40 to 80 rods! The judgment is fast and clear! Emperor Zhu Youzhen, who was watching, nodded secretly, the ministers who can enter the cabinet are indeed capable of something! Even if he is a little ignorant, the comprehensive su zhì is much stronger than newcomers such as Shi Kefa and Fu Yongchun, after all, the country still needs these people, and it is bad to let a bunch of stunned young people play! For the palace minister, it is true that those who are not forty years old are stunned! Who can enter the palace, which one is not tempered in the officialdom? Even if it is corrupt and bribery, those who can enter the top of the pyramid are not idle!

"Emperor Qi, the old ministers have finished the trial, as for these officials, they should be tried by the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial History Observatory, and the old ministers dare not judge themselves. Dare to ask the emperor if he wants to be executed in public? Yu Dacheng knelt down and handed over the decree to the emperor.

Yu Dacheng is worthy of being a veteran of the Four Dynasties, and his behavior is not leaky!

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "The trial is for fairness, today in front of me and many people, you can judge it directly!" There's no need for triage, I'll give you an approval! ”

Yu Dacheng looked at the few rescuers he had invited, Qian Longxi, Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi didn't speak!
