Chapter Eighty-Five: The Ministers' Performance
Unexpectedly, Yao Tianqi was not a soft egg, so he said directly.
"Your Majesty, as a royal historian, impeachment is the right thing to do, and there is no need for anything else. And the wind is also the power of the Goshidai. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what to say, after all, Yushi can report whatever he hears, even if it is dirt, he doesn't need to pay any price.
This is the power of the Yanguan, and this power is exactly what Emperor Hongwu himself has given them.
But now Zhu Yuanzhang found that giving Yushi such rights was actually digging a pit for himself, he glared at Yao Tianqi and said.
"Don't confuse us with any concept here, we just want to ask you, why did you know about the secret matter of the imperial court in advance? We must find out and punish severely, if we don't say it, it will be the same crime. ”
Before Yao Tianqi could say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang directly glanced at Sun Gang, the brocade guard next to him, and said.
"It is the court's own rule that the imperial historian cannot be punished, but how should Jinyiwei handle the corresponding case, you can look at it, if the leak can be ignored like this, you don't have to be the emperor anymore."
Sun Gang is naturally not a fool, he will be able to understand Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning immediately.
If you don't pull this surnamed Yao down and beat him up at this time, it is estimated that he will be the one who will be beaten.
He immediately commanded the two station hall wrestlers to pull Yao Tianqi down, and after beating the board, he sent him home directly.
I thought that the problems above the court should be calmed down, but I didn't expect it to get worse.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, and the chief official of the Imperial History Terrace, Cheng Tujie finally stood up and said directly.
"Your Majesty, the leak of secrets is hateful and should be strictly investigated, but if the said wreck is indeed true, then Lu Ning should also be severely punished."
Zhu Yuanzhang was originally angry in his heart, and when he saw Tu Jie persecuting himself like this, he felt uncomfortable.
He sneered, looked at Tu Jie and said.
"Tu Jie, you forced me to bow like this, could it be that you took the wrong medicine? If you have any ideas, you might as well just say them, lest I give you any more guesses. ”
This sentence directly made Tu Jie's back spine sweat, and the ministers were not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, but afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang sneering.
Tu Jie was a little weak-hearted, but he knew that this was the time to face difficulties, and if he was cowardly at this time, there would be no good fruit to eat.
Although he was scared in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang with his neck.
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to persecute you, but the minister is also the imperial history of the imperial court, can't you ask Your Majesty to deal with this matter as soon as possible? This is a felony of the foreign country, although ten thousand deaths are not enough to atone for it. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes gradually dimmed, once these imperial historians really launched a ruthless attack, he couldn't cut them all down in the court.
After thinking of this, his tone couldn't help but soften, and he looked at Tu Jie with a pretended smile and said.
"Just now I just tested your bones, I didn't expect you to be really an iron-fisted imperial history, even so, we appreciate you even more, then we will reward you with two hundred taels."
Tu Jie was relieved when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang say this, and then asked while the iron was hot.
"Your Majesty, in that case, how should Lu Ning's matter be handled? I also ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible, the more this matter drags on, the more detrimental it will be to the imperial court. ”
Seeing that Tu Jie was like a piece of pigskin fat, he was stunned and stuck to himself, although Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't attack on the spot, so he asked tentatively.
"Let's see that Lu Ning's matter may also be a misunderstanding, and he will be convicted immediately after these letters, is it hasty Zhong Aiqing is also discussing, let's make a decision in the future."
Zhu Yuanzhang has always been an iron-blooded emperor, he has always said the same, and he doesn't care about handling cases, even others.
Today, for Lu Ning's business, it can be regarded as a soft service to the ministers, which is a rare thing, if it is replaced by someone else, it will be accepted when it is good.
But these imperial historians of the Hongwu Dynasty really don't know how to observe words at all, and when they see the emperor talking softly, they are even more energetic.
So after Zhu Yuanzhang asked about this, everyone actually said in unison, saying that Lu Ning's previous merits had already been rewarded by the imperial court, and he had already been named a county man!
Now, if there is a mistake and no punishment, it will be unfair reward and punishment in the court, and then how can His Majesty's order order order the ministers and the world.
Now that he has said this, Zhu Yuanzhang can be regarded as completely helpless, he is afraid that if this court will continue, he will have a seizure on the spot.
Therefore, he glanced at the prince standing next to him, Zhu Biao was a benevolent person, and he was afraid that his father would anger the ministers in anger, so he directly ordered to retreat from the court.
After all the ministers left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao and asked helplessly.
"Do you think this has to be dealt with? But we always feel that there is something strange in this, but we can't say it for a while. ”
Zhu Biao didn't believe that Lu Ning would rebel, and he also echoed Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Although these letters can be used as evidence, they are not written correctly, which means that the evidence is not sufficient, and the father and the emperor will delay it for a while, so that the legal department and the yamen can step up the investigation."
