After Yang Shen made sure that Zhu Hao was fine, he walked around the cell again, and saw that the rest of the people were also safe and sound, so he temporarily put his mind at ease and hurried back to report to Yang Tinghe.

Wang Zuo arranged for someone to send Yang Shen out of prison, while he himself stayed here to obey Zhu Hao's orders.

"Sir, the key is here, you can come out at any time if you want, six people from our palace have been arranged, follow your call, what do you think you need here?"

Wang Zuo is now in charge of Zhu Hao's living in the Imperial Prison.

Zhu Hao said, "Add two more quilts, and the rest ...... It's good, and if I tidy up the wooden table a little, it's easy for me to write something."

"Ordered."

The table in the cell was not originally used as a desk, but was occasionally only used to put up dishes and chopsticks or daily necessities.

The table is very shabby.

There are a lot of words engraved on it, and it is clear that someone was in this cell before, and he did not get any good treatment.

Zhu Hao instructed again: "Don't show too much care for my side in the past two days, everything is simple, and I will let people inform you if there is something."

It means, Wang Zuo, you don't have to deliberately stay here, people will find it boring, but think that I have some special communication with you.

"Yes."

After Wang Zuo told several of his subordinates to follow Zhu Hao's orders, he left the cell.

……

……

Sun Jiao was very confused about Zhu Hao's imprisonment, and he wanted to know what Zhu Hao was doing.

But he didn't have the power and courage like Yang Tinghe, he couldn't go directly to the edict to visit, although he wanted to go in his heart, but he didn't have the courage, and suddenly thought of having a relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang, so he found someone to go to the palace to spread the word to see if he could get a pass or something for himself through his personal relationship with the Empress Dowager Jiang.

But permission to visit the Imperial Prison was not until at least the next day.

Night.

Zhu Hao stayed in the edict prison, and Zhang Zuo came to visit in person.

Zhang Zuo didn't come empty-handed, he was followed by a brocade-clothed guard, and brought Zhu Hao a wooden box by the way, which contained the most urgent notes of the day, waiting for Zhu Hao to review them.

"I can't decide for the time being, Your Majesty's will, let Mr. deal with it."

Zhang Zuo was a little apologetic.

Zhu Hao is in the Imperial Prison, which can be said to be in prison, but there is no delay in official business, Zhu Si should still use people, but he changed the location of the office from Sixian Residence to Jinyiwei Imperial Prison.

"Hmm."

Zhu Hao nodded.

On Zhang Zuo's side, someone immediately moved a chair over.

Zhu Hao said: "Father-in-law Zhang, when you come here, I'm afraid that there is no impermeable wall, and it will be easy for outsiders to know."

Zhang Zuo smiled bitterly: "This is also a helpless thing, Your Majesty's side is really urgent, and then Your Majesty is actually ...... I don't want to snub sir, why does he insist on spending the night here?"

"It's better to have someone change a high bed and soft pillow for you, you can find a better place to rest, and when someone comes to visit during the day, you can change it back."

"Not good."

Zhu Hao said: "There are still many old people in the Jinyi Guard, and they will definitely leak the situation inside, after all, this matter is now very concerned by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and they may want to exchange it for some benefits. If someone comes late at night and finds that they can't get close, they will be suspicious...... Or when you get to the place, there is no one in the cell, and you will speculate in private."

Zhang Zuo sighed with emotion: "Sir is really cautious."

Zhu Hao picked up a few copies of the notes and reviewed them on the spot.

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, don't worry, when it's approved, just let people send it out.

But seeing that Zhu Hao is serious and responsible in his work, and he is embarrassed to disturb, if he can take Zhu Hao's music away when he leaves, it will naturally be the best.

……

……

Early the next morning.

The ministers are ready to go to court.

On that day, many ministers were preparing to rescue the Hanlin inmates who had been imprisoned, and they gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Yang Tinghe's side, Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, brought the news of Jinyiwei Prison.

「…… For the time being, the punishment has not been used, but it seems that it will be a matter of time or time, and it depends on whether Your Majesty's anger subsides, and in addition, Your Majesty's fire is unreasonable."

Lin Jun wanted to tell Yang Tinghe, but in fact, Yang Tinghe had found out to Yang Shen yesterday.

And Lin Jun's so-called "no reason" is clearly referring to the fact that the emperor is clearly angry with those Hanlin and scribes, which should not have been borne by these people, and may be related to the joint performance and Yang Shen's initiation.

But Lin Jun was embarrassed to say it in front of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe said: "At today's court meeting, let the official mention it, and the people from the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple should not mix in their opinions. You go and let me know."

"Why is that?"

Lin Jun was still very strong before, with a straight face, as if he was about to take a posture of death advice.

But in fact, he is just a wall-to-wall grass, seeing Yang Tinghe's power, he will obey everything, and now the emperor has taken out the edict to scare the ministers, Lin Jun also feels that he may be liquidated by the emperor because he contributed too much to Yang Tinghe before, and his tone has softened a lot compared to before.

Yang Tinghe said: "The matter of prison should not be mentioned in the first place, and the law should not be involved in prison, and the civil officials can advise."

"Oh."

Lin Jun probably heard it.

Yang Tinghe meant not to mention in the court issues such as transferring the imprisoned people to the Three Law Divisions, which would make it seem that even the Three Law Divisions recognized this as a case...... It should maintain an argument that this is the emperor's **** to those scribes, and it has nothing to do with prison.

……

……

The officials were gearing up, waiting to discuss the protection of the words with the little emperor.

The Ming Dynasty has a tradition of rumors.

Hanlin is qualified to speak, but he is only the prisoner of those who speak...... They boast that they are now in charge of civil officials, but they forget that Taizu set the rule that prisoners are not allowed to discuss politics, and to say that Hanlin's imprisonment is a political blow, and those prisoners are completely to blame.

But on that day, Zhu Si did not appear in the court.

The eunuchs Huang Jin and Wen Xiang came out to send a message and told the emperor that the emperor would not go to court that day.

Wen Xiang is an old man left behind in the Zhengde Dynasty, his temper is relatively gentle, and his speech is more affinity, plus Wen Xiang has a relatively close relationship with the Empress Dowager Zhang, so he came forward to tell the people present that the Empress Dowager Zhang knew about this matter, and it was likely to be consistent with the emperor's attitude, which was equivalent to persuading the ministers to recognize the situation and not to do unnecessary disputes.

「…… Your Majesty held a vigil for the Empress Dowager last night, and occasionally felt the wind and cold, and I can't go to court today, I hope you can understand."

After Wen Xiang finished speaking, he was immediately surrounded by people.

Huang Jin took a few steps forward, and the group of people surrounding Wen Xiang immediately retreated.

In the past, Huang Jin, the eunuch of the East Factory, was not taken seriously, but now that the emperor has highlighted the role of the edict, others have remembered that the Jiajing Dynasty also has the East Factory, but the previous Dongchang Princess's "invisible" is just that.

Dongchang served the emperor, and only when the emperor wanted to use the edict to do something, the role of Dongchang would be highlighted.

Yang Tinghe said, "Your Majesty has mentioned how to deal with the people of Hanlin who were taken to prison because of their words?"

Wen Xiang looked embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I didn't mention it."

Yang Tinghe arched his hand: "Please ask Gonggong Wen to pass on the message to Your Majesty, saying that you should be forgiving and forgiving the law, which is against filial piety. If it is a trivial matter that is widely implicated, I am afraid that it will make people's hearts moved."

It is both an exhortation and a warning.

Don't think that we civil servants have nothing to do.

It's just that he took a group of Hanlin who have nothing to do with the overall situation, didn't even the Hanlin Academy hurt his muscles and bones?

Even if Your Majesty is not afraid of the minister's rebellion, aren't you afraid that our civilian-bureaucratic clique will make things bigger? When a bunch of ministers run to the gate of the palace to kneel and admonish, or preach to the outside world that you are a faint monarch, which will affect your reputation, then the legitimacy of your throne will also be doubted by the people of the world.

I, Yang, have been compromising, don't you, the emperor, even take a step back and open the sky

Got it? So willful?

Wen Xiang didn't know what to say for a while.

Huang Jin stepped forward and said: "My lords, let's say that Your Majesty's courtiers who have taken down Jinyan are just angry because of the dispute over filial piety and righteousness, and they did not want to break the character of the literati, nor did they ask whether they had the intention of instructing people behind the scenes, but it was a small punishment and a big commandment, if they were imprisoned in the edict for a few days, this could not be bearable, then where is their backbone?"

Huang Jin is tantamount to choking Yang Tinghe.

If you want the emperor to know how to be merciful, and what to scare you with losing people's hearts, I will tell you now, since that group of people dare to speak, they should be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences.

can't be unforgiving one by one, and once you take people down, you start scolding your mother...... Don't you have the backbone of a literati? Stay in prison for a few days, this is the time to fulfill you, don't be here without sickness and groan.

Yang Tinghe didn't like the eunuch of Dongchang, who was born in the Xingwang Mansion in front of him, and shook his head silently.

Wen Xiang smiled, "The words have come out, please come back." If your majesty recovers from his illness tomorrow, he will be able to go to court."

……

……

"Again."

On the way out of the palace, the person who expressed such feelings was Zhao Huang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who had not shown such a performance before.

There was a slight bewilderment on everyone's faces.

You, Zhao Huang, are you not the person arranged by the new emperor? Even if you don't completely obey the new emperor's orders, you don't say that you think things from our standpoint.

Why, among those who have been taken are your relatives?

Or are you so angry this time that you can't see it?

"Like-minded?"

Yang Tinghe glanced at Zhao Huang first, and suddenly turned around and found one thing.

I didn't see Sun Jiao that day.

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji both shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see anyone.

The reason why Yang Tinghe paid attention to Sun Jiao's absence was that he thought that he could use Sun Jiao's relationship to persuade the emperor to stop, after all, Sun Jiao's son-in-law Zhu Hao was also taken down this time, originally Sun Jiao belonged to the neutral faction and even tended to be an official of the Wangfu system, this time Zhu Hao was taken, could it be that your Sun Jiao was so firmly in favor of the emperor? Don't want your son-in-law to be safe?

But your grandson can not be a prophet and know that the emperor will not go to the court, so you will not enter the palace to participate in the court meeting?

Or is your grandson also sick?

At this time, Sun Jiao was actually waiting for Zhang Zuo to reply to him, Sun Jiao did know that Zhu Si would not go to court that day, or after Sun Jiao entered the palace that day, after seeing Zhang Zuo, Zhang Zuo brought him the news.

"It's been going for a long time, so it stands to reason that the Queen Mother should have a quasi-letter, right?" Or because it was cold, Sun Jiao rubbed his hands and muttered to himself.
