Chapter 114: Request
A group of eunuchs were cast out like fishing nets, and in less than half an hour, the nets were recovered, and more than a dozen case files involving Wu Min's disrespectful case were placed in front of the emperor.
Chen Danzhu was still kneeling on the ground, and the emperor didn't talk to her, during which he also went to eat snacks, and at this time the case files were sent, and the emperor read them carefully one by one until he read them all, and then threw them in front of Chen Danzhu.
He asked: "There are poems and songs, there are correspondence, and there are people who have material evidence, and these people are indeed disrespectful to me, so what is the problem with the verdict?" You must know that according to the law, the whole family will be beheaded by the whole family! β
Chen Danzhu looked at the case files scattered around him: "Human and physical evidence can be forgedββ"
"Chen Danzhu!" The Emperor interrupted her angrily, "You still question Tingwei? Are all my officials blind? You are the only one in the whole capital who understands clearly? β
Eunuch Jinzhong shook his head on the side, looking at this girl, his expression was very dissatisfied, this sentence is too stupid, it is undoubtedly an accusation that the entire court officialdom is rotten - this is more annoying than scolding the emperor for being unkind and unjust, Your Majesty is very arrogant.
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are wrong." Chen Danzhu leaned over and kowtowed, "But what the courtiers said about the forgery means that with these judgments, there will be more cases of this being created, Your Majesty, you yourself have seen that these people involved in the case have a common characteristic, that is, they all have good homes and farms." β
Emperor Shicai also saw this, he understood what Chen Danzhu meant, and he also knew that the most scarce and sought-after thing in Xinjing today is real estate - although it is said to build a new city, it cannot solve the current problem.
There are always people who have to find a way to get the house they like, and this method is naturally not necessarily glorious.
Butβ
The emperor asked coldly: "Why is it not because these people have good homes and farms, and their families are wealthy, so that they can not worry about their livelihoods, have the opportunity to gather people to eat, drink and have fun, and chant poems for the government and the affairs of the world?" β
If it weren't for their lies, how could they be calculated and caught? Even if it is exaggerated, falsified, and framed, it is self-inflicted.
Chen Danzhu understood what the emperor meant, she knew the emperor's hatred for the princes and kings, and this hatred would inevitably be transferred to the people of the vassal states - in the previous life, Li Liang frantically framed the Wu family, and the people were treated as prisoners.
"Your Majesty." She looked up and muttered, "Your Majesty is merciful." β
Not like the last time she was arrogant and cold-eyed, this time it showed the emperor's ruthlessness, frightened, the emperor looked at this girl indifferently.
"Their families are rich and can read, and they are erudite and talented, so that they can read the allusions of ancient place names and ridicule the present and the present world, and for them, it is not good now, which can confirm that they are right." He said coldly, "Why aren't there poor families who don't have good homes and properties involved?" Because for these people, what is the ancient Wudu, I don't know the origin of the name, and it doesn't matter, the important thing is to live here now, as long as you live well, it is enough. β
The emperor stood up and looked down at Chen Danzhu who was kneeling in front of him.
"Chen Danzhu, shouldn't I be expelled from such a family? Am I merciful to keep them in the capital and make life bad for everyone? β
Chen Danzhu shook her head, nodded again, she thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the parent of all peoples, and Your Majesty's kindness is the kindness of parents. β
So? The Emperor frowned.
"The courtiers know that they are disrespectful to His Majesty, and they can even say that they do not love." Chen Danzhu knelt on the ground, and when she didn't pretend to cry or be delicate, her voice was as clear as spring water, "Because I have been doing it for too long, the people of the vassal states are powerful, and the people rely on her to make a living. β
She smiled as she said this.
"Your Majesty, no one knows this better than me, after all, my father is Chen Liehu, and he threatened His Majesty with a knife for King Wu back then."
Don't cry or make trouble, and start pretending to be well-behaved? Does this work for him? The emperor was expressionless.
"But, Your Majesty." Chen Danzhu looked at him, "We should still love and tolerate themβno, us." β
The Emperor laughed and looked at her without speaking.
"Your Majesty, it's like raising a child." Chen Danzhu continued to whisper, "Parents have two children, one was taken away from childhood, raised in someone else's home, and brought back when he grew up, this child is not close to his parents, this is no way, but in the end it is also their own child, parents still have to love and take care of it, and after a long time, they can always raise their hearts back." β
The emperor frowned, what kind of bullshit is this?
"Children who are raised by others will inevitably be closer to their adoptive parents, and they will miss them when they are separated, which is human nature and a manifestation of affection and righteousness." Chen Danzhu lowered his head and continued to talk about his bullshit, "If this child misses his adoptive parents, his parents blame him and punish him, wouldn't that make the children be ruthless and unrighteous people?" β
The emperor couldn't help but scold: "What nonsense are you talking about? β
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you want the world to submit, you want the people of the world to respect and love, and the people of a certain place are not respectful, loved, or surrendered, Your Majesty can't simply expel and get rid of them." Chen Danzhu continued his nonsense, "And getting rid of them will definitely make the capital stable, Your Majesty's mind is watched by everyone, seeing Your Majesty, you have abandoned the people of Wu Land, and others will bully them unscrupulously, this is what I said, the case can be created, you see, since the first case of the Cao family, so many have poured out at once, and more will be created in the future-in this way, the people who originally surrendered to Your Majesty will also be panicked." β
Chen Danzhu knelt up straight and looked at the emperor standing tall in his hands.
"The courtiers dare to ask Your Majesty, how many families can be expelled, but can they expel the Wu people in the entire Wu capital?"
"All the Wu people in the Wu capital have been expelled, and what about the entire Wu land."
"Does Your Majesty want to see the entire land of Wu become turbulent?"
"In this case, how can Zhang Jing have a good life?"
After she said this, the hall was quiet, the emperor just looked at her condescendingly, and Chen Danzhu did not avoid it.
"Your Majesty, even if someone is dissatisfied with the time when King Wu used to be, so what." She said, "There is no king of Wu in this world, the king of Zhou is dead, the king of Qi has confessed, His Majesty has quelled the rebellion of the three kings, the court has recovered all the princes and counties, and the world is already His Majesty's people." β
She bowed.
"If there are more children in the family, Your Majesty will inevitably work hard and suffer some grievances."
The emperor looked at Chen Danzhu, his expression changed for a moment, and he sighed.
"Chen Danzhu." His voice was pitiful, "You have done so much for Wu Min, they will not be grateful to you, and these new magnates will also hate you, why are you suffering?" β
Chen Danzhu raised his head: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are not for them, of course the courtiers are still for Your Majesty." β
The emperor sighed: "It's for me again." β
"That's right, the courtiers don't want Your Majesty to be an unkind and unrighteous king." Chen Danzhu said.
The emperor sneered: "But every time I hear it, it's you who scolds me for being unkind and unjust." β
"Your Majesty, the courtier's mind can be learned from heaven and earth-" Chen Danzhu stretched out his hand to hold his heart, and said loudly, "As long as Your Majesty understands the courtier's mind, whether others scold or hate, what is there to worry about, just scold casually, and the courtiers are not afraid at all." β
The emperor raised his foot and kicked over the empty box containing the case file: "Don't talk nonsense with my rhetoric!" β
