12-91 Morning Meeting. Visits

The next morning, this time Liu Ziguang did not shirk, entered the Forbidden City in a grand manner, and held the first court meeting presided over by the prison in the Fengtian Palace.

There is no emperor, no eunuchs, no six ministries and nine secretaries, only the eunuchs and a group of generals.

The court meeting was a serious occasion, Liu Ziguang did not wear his signature old robe, but changed into a set of red python robes, and he naturally did not sit on the dragon chair, so he stood in the hall in a big way.

There are not many people who come to participate in the court meeting, except for Liu Ziguang's descendants, that is, Gu Yanwu and other literati who have no official rank but have a relatively high prestige among the people, and the literati are between scholars and bureaucrats in these years, and there is no strict distinction.

Sure enough, the Lord Jianguo opened his mouth and said: "What the Ming Dynasty lacks most now is talents, and my father hopes that Mr. Gu can enter the court as an official and benefit the people." ”

Of course, Gu Yanwu excused himself, saying that the front-end time to assist the Lotus God Sect was only to quell the civil strife, and he himself had no intention of joining the ranks.

Liu Ziguang said: "Those who can stand here today are not outsiders, and my father will not hide it from everyone, I don't plan to use those people in the Donglin Party anymore, Cheng Zhu Lixue is not shallow, if you use them as officials again, the world will still be the same after more than ten years, and even my father can't do anything, so I want to take this opportunity to change the blood of the six departments, you don't have to be afraid of being an official, in fact, being an official is the easiest, as long as you have a clear mind and are not crazy or stupid, you can be an official." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zhong Shouyong said: "Dashuai, what's so difficult about this, isn't it enough to pick dozens of brothers from the camp." ”

Liu Ziguang said with a smile: "It's better for the martial artists to protect the territory and the people, and let the scholars do a good job in this case, of course, if you can pass the scientific examination, you can do it." ”

Hearing this, Wang Fuzhi's eyes lit up, and he came out of class and said, "Lord Jianguo, but you want to make a fuss about this scientific examination?" ”

Liu Ziguang said: "That's exactly what I mean. ”

Wang Fuzhi shook his head and said: "All the scholars in the world take this as the way to advancement, if it changes, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos." ”

Zhong Shouyong said: "Isn't this world already chaotic, and it's nothing to add a little more chaos." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "No, the scientific examination cannot be changed, but the system of taking scholars from the eight shares must be changed." The future officials of the Ming Dynasty can't want those nerds who only know how to read to death, they must give priority to practical learning and let a hundred flowers bloom. I don't know if the two gentlemen are willing to help me change this scientific examination system. ”

This hooked the interest of Gu Yanwu and Wang Fuzhi, both of them expressed their willingness to do their best, but they still did not want to accept the official position, and Liu Ziguang did not force it, anyway, he could do something, and he added a title to them respectively: Tongshang Shu treatment.

This title was created by Liu Ziguang, which means that although this person has not entered the court as an official, there is a rank there, and your local officials have to serve well.

Both of them are straightforward people, and they no longer shirked, so they took the errand and began to plan a new Enke exam, they are not afraid that no one will take the Enke exam this time, because there is no shortage of capable people in the people, such as people like Song Yingxing is an example, as for those guys who really only know eight strands, let them fend for themselves.

Even if the matter of the scientific expedition is over, Liu Ziguang mentioned the matter of Yuan Chonghuan's father and son in the north, and hundreds of thousands of troops are entrenched in Hebei. But the henchmen are in great trouble, and Yuan Chengzhi and Liu Ziguang have a deep blood feud, so there is almost no need to discuss whether to suppress or appease.

But Liu Ziguang's meaning is to Fu first, if the Yuan father and son know the righteousness, they will naturally stop the war, if there is the idea of not being a minister, then raise troops to the north, and the Mongolian army will attack the north and south, afraid that they will not be able to destroy them.

made up his mind, so he arranged for someone to write a long letter, find a protégé of Yuan Chonghuan and send it over, whether to fight or hand it over to Yuan's father and son, of course, no matter what the result is, Yuan Chengzhi's little life cannot be saved.

After talking about business, it's time to say something irrelevant, Zhong Shouyong said: "Dashuai, what are you going to do with the Hongguang puppet emperor and those puppet ministers?" ”

Zhong Shouyong is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, which is a matter of judicial mouth, and he is naturally very concerned.

Liu Ziguang said: "Hongguang Puppet Emperor is just a baby, he is just being used, what to talk about, it is found that he is not the widow of King Fu, but the child of a subordinate in King Fu's Mansion, just tell the world about this matter, there is no need to take an innocent child, we are not that kind of person." ”

"As for those hypocrites, they must be dealt with strictly! What kind of presumptuous stiffness, Hou Xun and the like, handed over to the three law divisions for trial, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, and dealt with strictly. ”

This is the end of the court meeting, after all, there are many people missing this court meeting, and we can only discuss some urgent issues, as for such a major matter as the election of the prince, we still have to wait for the queen mother to come before making a decision.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Zhong Shouyong was left alone, and now Lord Zhong is a pivotal figure, Sun Gang has made political mistakes after all, and he can't be reused, Xu Sanpi has not been a person in Liu Ziguang's system from beginning to end, let alone can not be used, and only Zhong Shouyong can take on the criminal name and judicial investigation.

Liu Ziguang said: "Are there any whereabouts of the people I am looking for?" ”

Zhong Shouyong said: "Can the person who the handsome wants to catch still run?" It's all taken down, and you're enjoying happiness in the prison, do you want to take a look? ”

Liu Ziguang was naturally happy to go.

The largest prison in the capital was originally Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison, now it is already a spectacle, after being bombarded into ruins by Liu Xiaomei, the rainwater accumulated by several rainstorms converges into a lake, which is very spectacular, even Liu Ziguang was stunned when he passed by, he asked Liu Xiaomei about this, but Liu Xiaomei was ignorant and couldn't say anything, Liu Ziguang himself couldn't figure it out, and then he simply didn't want to, there are many strange things in this world, and it doesn't make sense to cross by himself, in case Liu Xiaomei is an alien, I don't know.

In addition to the Jinyi Guard's Imperial Prison, the largest prison in the city is the prison of the Criminal Department, where a cadre of prisoners are now imprisoned, seeing that the Lord of the Prison came to inspect accompanied by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the warden hurriedly came over to greet him, and after saying what he meant, the warden asked: "Do you inspect the Tianzi Prison first, or do you inspect the Dizi Cell first?" ”

There is a special point in this, Tianzihao is to detain people such as Liu Zongmin and Hou Xian, and Dizihao is to detain some second-level criminals.

Liu Ziguang said: "It stands to reason that you should see old friends first, but there are a few friends in the name who have admired the name for a long time but have never met, and my father wants to go and see them first." ”

The warden led the way to lead a group of people to the ground number cell, this prison of the criminal department is not as good as the Jinyi Wei Prison, the cell equipment is much worse in all aspects, the fence is wooden, but the guards are quite strict, and the escape from the prison will never happen.

After passing through several prison doors, he came to a cell in front of a cell, and the cell head slapped a few times on the railing with a saber and said, "Sima Sheng, the Lord of the Prison Kingdom has come to see you!" ”

In the cell, a white and chubby man lay on the hay and did not move.

Liu Ziguang said: "The food in our prison is so good, and serious offenders can become fat." ”

The cell boss hurriedly defended: "My lord misunderstood, this Sima Sheng is seriously ill, his whole body is swollen and he can't urinate, and his whole body is fat." ”

So it was, Liu Ziguang asked the cell boss to open the door, walked in, and saw that Sima Sheng, a well-known strategist, was now terminally ill and dying, lying on the hay staring at his eyes and waiting for death.

"I've heard Mr. Sima's name for a long time, it's better to meet than to be famous, alas, it's a pity, Lord Zhong, don't you want to be released on medical parole?" Liu Ziguang asked.

Zhong Shouyong said: "This person is too sick to be treated, and it is possible that he will die tomorrow." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "That's not good, find someone to take a good look, you can't let him die of illness, you have to be sentenced after the trial, if you are sick, you have to see it, we are not short of money." ”

Zhong Shouyong said: "The handsome man sees that he is taught, and when he turns around, he will find Lang Chinese medicine for him." ”

Sima Sheng is half-dead and there is nothing to look at, so Liu Ziguang was transferred to a prison cell, which was also locked up by a well-known person, the old gentleman Zhisuo who controlled the ups and downs of the stock market back then.

As soon as he saw this wise man, Liu Ziguang smiled: "Who should I be, it turns out that I am still an old man, how is Premier Ding recently?" ”

Ding Shuchen was silent, and now he has nothing to say, and he will inevitably die.

Liu Ziguang said: "Mr. Ding's case should be handled as appropriate, and those who do not have a murder case in their hands may not necessarily be sentenced to death, and indefinite life can also be considered, our Ming Dynasty pays attention to judicial fairness." ”

This sentence is equivalent to saving Ding Shuchen's life, he originally thought that he would definitely die, he suddenly felt that the sky suddenly brightened, and immediately knelt down and said: "Thank you for the grace of Lord Jianguo not to kill!" ”

Sima Sheng and Zhisuo were the two second-class criminals that Liu Ziguang was most interested in, and after reading them, he transferred to the Tianzi cell.

The facilities of the Tianzi cell are better, and it is also a single cell, but there are already beds, Liu Ziguang has no interest in Liu Zongmin, and goes straight to see Hou Sui.

Hou Sui can be said to be an elder of the three dynasties, if he can withstand the bewitchment of the stiffness, he may be able to die well, but unfortunately he finally saved a fluke and served as a puppet official of the Hongguang Dynasty, and a crime of killing the head cannot escape.

Separated by the iron railing, the two had mixed feelings, Hou Sui was an old Donglin, and there was still some blood in his bones, knowing that he would inevitably die, and he had no worries about speaking.

"I don't want to complain about others, I only blame myself for being too greedy, and I only ask the prisoner to think that you and I once went to Huguang to quell the rebellion, and don't offend your family, if you can...... The old man wanted to keep a whole corpse. ”

Liu Ziguang also sighed: "Lord Hou I's reputation was ruined, it's a pity, it's just that the law of the country is above, and Liu can't forgive you, read on your past merits, just leave you a whole corpse, I heard that Ling Lang is still a duty this time, then I won't hold them responsible, the crime is not as good as the family, it is the standard of this father, you can rest assured." ”

After exploring Hou Sui, he came to the prison cell of Mao Bijian again, and was about to enter, when he suddenly saw two familiar figures standing inside, it was Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan.
