A week later, an explosive news spread throughout the capital.

The contemporary Yan Shenggong and the concubine of the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu had an affair and was caught and raped in bed by the former Ministry of Rites.

Then, the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu drew his sword in anger and directly killed Yan Shenggong and the concubine together.

This news was so exciting that Mu Zhi didn't let Shangguan Xingfeng add fuel to the fire, and the news spread all over the capital with lightning speed.

To be honest, Makiyuki himself was shocked by this result.

"Why did he kill someone?"

Shangguan Xingfeng was even more shocked: "I didn't expect that by the time I reacted, Yan Shenggong and his concubine were already dead. ”

The martial arts of the above official Xingfeng can make him too late to save people, you can imagine how fast the sword of the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu is.

Of course, it is very likely that Shangguan Xingfeng was stunned.

After all, according to his and Makinoyuki's assumptions, it is very possible for two people to fight, but dead people?

They really didn't think about it.

After all, literati have always been verbal but not hands-on since ancient times.

Shangguan Xingfeng threw the pot to Mu Zhi: "I think it's a problem with the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture." If the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu hadn't cultivated the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture, he wouldn't have that ability even if he wanted to kill someone. ”

Makiyuki: "Blame me?" ”

Shangguan Xingfeng nodded honestly.

Makiyuki wanted to refute it, but it felt like it was true.

Originally, the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu was already dying, but after a slash, although he permanently lost his ability to commit crimes, his physical fitness began to improve by leaps and bounds.

And Yan Shenggong is a real old man, and he has no power to restrain the chicken.

So, spike.

"Actually, after the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu calmed down, he also regretted it, and I could clearly see it from his face."

Shangguan Xingfeng personally sent Yan Shenggong to the bed of Shangshu in the former Ministry of Rites~, and then he kept staring at it personally, so he had the most say in the truth of the matter.

Mu Zhi always felt a little awkward when he heard the title of "Former Ministry of Rites Shangshu": "Doesn't he have a name?" Why is it always called by the former Ministry of Rites? ”

Shangguan Xingfeng said indifferently: "It's just a dragon set, what is the name?" ”

Makiyuki: "......"

In fact, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites was called Bao Dengfan, but he fell ill after the shepherd~ to show his protest against Muzhi's new policy, and then Muzhi kept making him sick.

Bao Dengfan was also an iron head, took the initiative to connect with those officials who opposed Mu Zhi, and personally sent a letter to Yan Shenggong, asking him to go to Beijing to persuade Mu Zhi.

This was his ultimatum to Makiyuki.

If Makiyuki still insisted on the original policy strategy, he would have prepared a coup d'état.

Bao Dengfan's letter to King Zhao is now pressing the bottom of the box in the East Factory.

"What's going on with the surname Bao now?" Makiyuki asked.

Shangguan Xingfeng's face was a little strange: "I arranged for someone to keep an eye on him, according to the latest report, he seems to want to be a traitor." ”

Makiyuki was a little surprised.

Shangguan Xingfeng was even more surprised: "After killing Yan Shenggong in this fight, he first closed the door for a day, and then seemed to recognize the reality and was ready to completely surrender to you." ”

Mu Zhi blinked: "Sincere surrender? ”

If it was sincere, then he really planned to accept Bao Dengfan.

After all, countless examples have shown that after the betrayal of a traitor, he is the most ruthless against his original compatriots.

As long as he uses it properly, Bao Dengfan will definitely become a sharp knife in his hand.

But Shangguan Xingfeng's answer disappointed him: "He also secretly sent half of the family property to the Kong family as compensation, and at the same time personally wrote a pen letter to the Kong family to show his sincerity and remorse." ”

Mu Zhi sighed: "After cultivating the "Great Yin and Yang True Scripture", people will become desireless and wantless, and this guy seems to have a strong desire for power." ”

"After all, people are different, and besides, bureaucrats who can be extremely powerful must have obsessions, and it is not surprising that one or two such people appear." Shangguan Xingfeng is very open.

"What are you going to do with him?" Shangguan Xingfeng asked.

Mu Zhi did not hesitate, and said directly: "If he can do things for me wholeheartedly, I really want to use him." But an old guy with three stabs on his face is not easy to use, so you can kill him in two days. ”

Shangguan Xingfeng: "??? ”

"What? Questions? ”

"No problem, but why kill him?" Shangguan Xingfeng thought that it was better to keep Bao Dengfan, after all, if he lived, he and the Kong family would be humiliated.

And the anti-Son of Heaven alliance will not be able to reach an agreement on cooperation because of this.

Regarding Shangguan Xingfeng's idea, Mu Zhi only had two words as an evaluation: "Naïve." ”

Shangguan Xingfeng: "......"

"Believe it or not, if I don't do something, Bao Dengfan and the Kong family are likely to turn enemies into friends."

Shangguan Xingfeng didn't believe it: "Can't it, right?" This time, they were disgraced and disgraced to the whole world. ”

Now this matter is only circulating in the capital, but the newspapers sent to all parts of the country have already been sent.

In less than half a month, this matter will definitely spread to the world.

But Mu Zhi still believes that Bao Dengfan and the Kong family have the opportunity to cooperate: "You are not a literati, you know nothing about the shamelessness of literati. ”

"You're like a literati." Shangguan Xingfeng whispered ~ forced.

Mu Zhi glared at Shangguan Xingfeng: "If you want to kill Bao Dengfan, just go, what so much nonsense." In addition, after killing Bao Dengfan, leave some clues about the Kong family at the scene, which must be seen, but not too obvious. ”

Shangguan Xingfeng finally fully comprehended Mu Zhi's intentions: "Are you going to completely make the Kong family and Bao Dengfan turn against each other?" ”

"Pig brain, Bao Dengfan is dead, why do I still care about him? I am completely dismantling this so-called anti-Son of Heaven alliance. The principal is dead, or is it the most powerful foreign aid, what is the need for this alliance to exist? ”

If you can get rid of them by the simplest means, don't play complicated.

If you want to deal with the literati, you can use this simple and crude method.

Shangguan Xingfeng's request for Mu Zhi must be to accept it in full.

There is no shortage of talents to kill people in the East Factory, and there is no shortage of talents to forge the scene.

Three days later, another explosive news spread throughout the capital.

Bao Dengfan is dead.

As the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Bao Dengfan died very undignified, he was hung at the door of his house, and his clothes were stripped naked, so that everyone in the capital appreciated his incision.

The officials were furious.

The Emperor was furious.

This is a naked ~ naked humiliation of the laws of the imperial court.

The prime minister wept bloody: "Please Your Majesty strictly investigate." ”

Mu Zhi is as good as a stream: "The three divisions will interrogate, find the murderer as quickly as possible, and calm the world." ”

The three law divisions changed the chief officer, and the efficiency was not ordinarily high, and the murderer behind the scenes was quickly found.

Then, public opinion was in an uproar.

"It's the Kong family."

"Your Majesty, he committed suicide, but many people can recognize that the murderer is a servant of the Kong family, and a secret letter was also found from his body."

"Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to ask the Confucian family."

Finally, someone took this step.

Of course, some people are genuinely trying to get justice. Because judging from all the evidence now, this matter was indeed done by the Kong family.

The Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and the Kong family was naturally no exception.

What's more, the deceased person is still the former Ministry of Rites.

Since the reign of Wu Guoguo, civil officials and courts have fought for their own masters, but they rarely ask for each other's lives.

If someone goes to the field, political enemies will also rush to see each other off, laughing and grudging, which has always been the default unspoken rule.

And Bao Dengfan's death broke this unspoken rule.

Therefore, many people began to be sad, even if the murderer was the Kong family, they didn't want to let it go.

As for the other group of indignant people, led by the prime minister, they guessed Muzhi's attitude.

Mu Zhi Danfan has a good impression of the Confucian family, and he will not continue to make various measures against Confucianism.

Obviously, the inverted hole will win the favor of His Majesty.

Let's do it.

As for the truth? Unimportant.

What they see is the truth.

Not to mention them, Mu Zhi saw the testimony and evidence chain submitted by the Three Law Divisions, and they all believed that this matter was done by the Kong family.

The facts are all there and cannot be denied.

It can only be said that in this feudal era, the disguise technique is really a bug, and the good use of it is simply invincible.

A simple disguise technique deceived all the professionals in the imperial court.

Although it is also possible that many people are deliberately deceived.

But that doesn't matter.

In the face of the request of the hundred officials, Mu Zhi showed a trace of embarrassment just right: "After all, the Kong family is the mansion of the Holy Duke of Yan. ”

"Your Majesty, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and the Holy Father of Yan is no exception."

"But Yan Shenggong is also dead."

As soon as Makiyuki's words came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

That's right, Yan Shenggong is also dead.

This matter is not so much about killing people as it is about seeking revenge.

But the officials thought about it carefully, no, Bao Dengfan killed Yan Shenggong because Yan Shenggong had an affair with his concubine and was caught and raped in bed by him, in this case, death is also a vain death.

What reason does the Kong family have to retaliate?

To this, Mu Zhi's answer was very simple: "The concubine is not a wife, don't you literati like to give each other concubines when the wine is hot?" ”

The ministers blushed a little.

There are indeed many people who are good at this.

After all, playing with other people's women is different after all.

Your own woman, no matter how good-looking she is, will get tired of it. But other people's women, at the critical moment of driving, can also ask more: "Is it me or is he amazing?" ”

In an instant, the refreshment of the whole person was increased by 10%.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bao doesn't like to give away concubines, it must have been forced by Yan Shenggong."

"But a concubine is a concubine after all, and Bao Aiqing did something wrong in this matter after all."

In ancient times, unless you were a wife, you had no human rights to be a concubine.

Of course, Mu Zhi is not excusing the Kong family, he is seeking truth from facts.

However, he is also digging holes for these people.

"Unless, concubines can also be protected by the laws of the imperial court."

The prime minister was the first to react: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that everyone in the world is His Majesty's people, and they all deserve His Majesty's love." ”

Makiyuki glanced at the prime minister appreciatively.

The old guy really won my heart.

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, all the people in the world are my people, and they are all treated equally in my eyes." Mu Zhi's words are actually not correct at all~ governance.

Because in this era, people are born with high and low.

But Mu Zhi wants to eliminate this kind of high and low, at least legally.

As for consciousness? Makiyuki really can't help it.

Even in the 21st century, the status of people and ordinary people is still very different, and there is no way.

Let's wait for the day when real socialism in all respects will be realized.

Makiyuki reckoned that he couldn't wait.

"Since the "Great Yin and Yang True Scripture" has become popular all over the world, there have been many cases of oppressed subordinates beheading their masters. This situation is on the rise and must be stopped in a timely manner. I thought about it for a long time, and with the heart of caring for the people of the world, I still made a decision:

From now on, abolition of slavery. In my great Wu country, everyone is created equal, and everyone has no right to oppress and enslave others. If you do not want to renew the existing slave contract, you can negotiate to terminate the contract, and if the two parties cannot reach an agreement, you can ask the government to judge.

The life and death of the subordinate are no longer determined by the master, everyone is an independent individual, and life should be respected. ”

Muzhi's words made half of the ministers unacceptable.

"Your Majesty, you're going to mess up the code of ethics."

"The old minister has been cold for ten years, why should he be equal to those mud legs?"

"I have made meritorious contributions to the country, and I have shed blood for the country. Your Majesty, you have made me like a group of civilians, I am not convinced. ”

Looking at the anger of the crowd at the bottom of the steps, Mu Zhi raised his eyebrows, very calm.

"I'm doing it for your own good."

No one believed what Mu Zhi said.

Mu Zhi didn't care either, and continued: "Now as long as you are willing to spend money, you can give yourself a sword to cultivate the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture. If you can't afford to buy books, a few people can always afford to save money together. As soon as the shared cultivation is completed, the nightmare of you masters will come.

Let a group of masters who fly the eaves and walk the wall be slaves to you, beat if you want, scold if you want, you are an old birthday star who eats arsenic - think your life is too long? ”

Mu Zhi's words made many officials a little afraid.

But there are still many officials who don't want to accept it: "The ministers will naturally be kind to those who have cultivated the Great Yin and Yang True Scripture, but why improve their status." ”

"Because if you don't take the initiative to improve their status now, when they want to improve their status in the future, they will bleed, and it will be your blood that will be shed."

Quite a few people shuddered.

"The lessons of the past few months, more and more cases of house slaves killing their masters, can't you still wake up? Do you have to be next? ”

Or Cheng was quite decisive and was the first to surrender to Mu Zhi again: "Your Majesty is merciful, and the ministers will feel the five guilty, and from now on you will definitely treat the ...... in the house well."

He suddenly didn't know what to call.

Makiyuki thought of a word for him: "Employee." ”

"Yes, employees, from now on, Lao Chen must be kind to the employees in his house."

Mu Zhi nodded approvingly to the prime minister: "It is worthy of being the head of a hundred officials, and you and others have learned from the prime minister." ”

What else can the officials say?

He could only say loudly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Mu Zhi smiled and said, "Since this is the case, you can settle the old account." Yan Shenggong tarnished the innocence of Bao Aiqing's concubine in the front, and the Kong family deliberately killed and retaliated in the back. In broad daylight, Lang Lang Lang, Wu State does not allow such an awesome family to exist. ”

There must be someone to bury in the old days.
