Chapter 159 Three Questions

Soon, under the command of Li Ruolian, hundreds of Jinyi guards surrounded the more than eighty Tai students from four directions. Drink and make them crouch on the ground. With Li Ruolian present, the fans' actions were also much rougher.

Zhu Youzhen walked out slowly and stood on the steps of the gate of the military factory.

Seeing His Majesty appear, Li Ruolian hurriedly turned over and dismounted, rushed over panting, turned over and knelt on the ground.

"Jinyiwei is not doing well, please forgive the emperor."

"Get up."

Zhu Youzhen was like eating a fly, and he was a little nauseous just now, but he was more of a little excited.

He heard a bit of noise behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Sun Yuanhua was blocking the craftsmen who were watching from afar.

"Yuanhua, let them come, don't block it."

"The minister Han Ying, the minister and the prince of the country, the eunuch Cheng Lang Zhao, will see Your Majesty first." Seeing Han Ying's dress, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing.

Han Shoufu got up. Wang Chengen, take Han Shoufu to change clothes. Wu Zhi, bring me a few chairs, I'm a little tired from standing. Then he looked helplessly at Lang Zhaoxian who was kneeling on the ground.

"You should also get up, I have been busy with affairs since I ascended the throne, and I have never been to the Guozijian, and I still have a little face to see you."

"Thank you for ......"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and interrupted Lang Zhaoxian's thanks.

The craftsmen in the factory stood behind Zhu Youzhen, and the Jinyi guards had already divided the prisoners one by one.

For a while, the gate was quiet, and only the sound of tinkling Dongdong from the military factory behind him could be heard.

Wu Zhi moved the chair over, and Zhu Youzhen sat down, but he was still silent.

Soon, a large number of people arrived at the scene on horseback and in a sedan chair.

"The Ministry of Rites is like a favor, the Ministry of Household is strict, and Zhou Yanru, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace of the Cabinet, is here!"

"Excuse me, sit!"

Zhu Youzhen said that there were already a few chairs in front of him. As soon as he turned around,

"General Qin, Mr. Sun, also sit."

While talking, Han Ying, who had changed into civilian clothes, also walked out.

"When Han Ying, the minister of crime, has seen His Majesty, please beg for bones."

There is no way, the first Ming Dynasty to be scolded as a national thief by so many students, he is the only one. According to the rules of the Ming officialdom, under all circumstances, you must resign yourself no matter what, otherwise it will be a loss of honor.

Zhu Youzhen smiled:

"You say it three times."

Well? Han Ying didn't hear clearly.

"I said, if you say your resignation three times now, I will reply three times directly. Let's finish this process quickly. ”

At the scene, except for He Ru Pet of the Ministry of Rites, the rest of the people didn't feel that there was anything wrong with His Majesty the Emperor. Instead, he put the pounding heart back in his stomach. Even Cheng Lang Zhaoxian, the eunuch of the country, felt that if His Majesty had this attitude, it seemed that this matter would have passed.

"How can Your Majesty treat court etiquette as nothing? How could Han Shoufu be so thick-faced? ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at it, and he was one of the students who was hiding behind and shouting just now.

"Want to change the cane? I've got you covered! ”

Zhu Youzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Saying this, the Ministry of Rites He Rupet will take everyone to kneel.

"I am not angry, what is the rest? Whoever of you leaves the chair today, I will take your seat back. ”

In a word, he pressed the ministers back. That's right, everyone is just acting like this, who can take it seriously?

As he spoke, several Han generals who were guarding the Yiluan Guard had already brought the prisoner who was speaking over.

"That's how you spoke to your father?" Zhu Youzhen looked at him.

"Wang Chengen, go up and give me a palm!"

This reluctantly standing, thinking that it would be the staff of the brocade guard, did not expect it to be the eunuch's palm.

"Let him kneel and slap his mouth again! I'm going to show you what tyranny looks like today. ”

Zhu Youzhen said vigorously. Wang Chengen understood what his majesty meant, and rounded his arm and began to slap.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The crisp slap made the venue quieter.

After dozens of strokes, Wang Chengen was a little out of breath. The one who was slapped looked at the important ministers sitting in front of him with extreme hatred.

"Alright, come back. Throw him next to the corpse. ”

"Your Majesty!"

It was Qin Liangyu who spoke this time. "Your Majesty, you don't have to ruin your reputation for a few scholars who don't understand the world."

"I don't care, I don't care. If the Ming Dynasty can be continued, the history books can be written fairly. If the Ming Dynasty is gone, guess what future generations will write me into? ”

Zhu Youzhen's words were already like a vicious curse, and the ministers looked at each other suspiciously. I don't know why, everyone thinks why their majesty has so little confidence in the imperial court.

"Li Ruolian, there are four or five over there, I can't see it very clearly, you can find it out for me."

Zhu Youzhen said as he called Li Ruolian over and pointed it out to him.

One of them wanted to run, but was knocked to the ground by Li Xiaoliu, who was standing not far away, with a scabbard.

"Yes, that's it. Li Xiaoliu, yes, lift him to the corpse, and you will also stand on my side. ”

Soon, the remaining five people were thrown to the side of Bao Chongmao, who was already dead.

Zhu Youzhen stood up and motioned for Li Xiaoliu to follow.

He walked over to the remaining students who had already begun to tremble.

"This is the Thousand Households of the Survey Division of the Guardian of the Brocade Guard." He introduced Li Xiaoliu to everyone.

"If you read the book of the sages, there are no brocade guards on the books of the sages, let alone corpses, and there is no survey department."

"We are just for the injustice of the country, why should Your Majesty use eagles and dogs to intimidate us."

Zhu Youzhen smiled, stepped on the blood on the ground, and walked in front of the one:

"Look, look, I talk to you calmly, that word intimidates you? That sentence intimidated you? ”

Plop, this one knelt down, but in his heart he felt that why didn't this majesty speak according to the literati's ideas?

"When it comes to sin, I don't care about what I do. If it is about the heart, there may not be a perfect person in the world. You say I have intimidated you, and I don't blame you. But from now on, I will give you the pen and ink to write down the reasons why you accuse me of intimidating you. ”

"What a pet!"

"The minister is here." He Rupet looked at the prisoners all over the ground and His Majesty the Emperor, who looked calm and estimated that he was about to explode, and ran over in small steps.

"I have pardoned the sin of disrespect against this accuser. Take him back and have him finish writing the accusation against me for intimidating him. Then hand him over to Dali Temple and ask Dali Temple to review it. If I had intimidated him today, I would have made an edict against him and vindicated the prisoner's life. But if it is Dali Temple, it also determines that I am not guilty. ”

"Bingbi eunuch Wu Zhi!" Zhu Youzhen broke off drinking.

"You are a minister of the royal family, and you write a letter on my behalf, and in turn accuse this prisoner of slandering my innocence for no reason. Is that clear? ”

"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant?"

This one began to cry.

"Take it down, I'm very clear and fair. If he cries like this, how can I speak? ”

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty forgives your sins! …… Your Majesty......"

This one struggled desperately, and several prisoners next to him subconsciously dodged to the side.

"I go on, feel free to speak if you have different intentions."

"You think Jinyiwei is a dog thief, who wants to catch whom, who you want to kill, who you want to kill. Not really. ”

"This Li Xiao 6,000 households are specially designed to review evidence, and they have 10,000 ways to investigate and judge whether what you are saying is true. Alright, I've finished the necessary foreshadowing. ”

Zhu Youzhen reflexively returned to the steps.

"What questions do I have for you?"

"The first question, if you have been in the prison for less than three years, raise your right hand."

After waiting for a while, no one raised their hands, and it seemed that this group of prisoners had been in Guozijian for more than three years.

"The second question is that during the period of Guozijian, I earned a copper plate, no matter what I did, whether it was writing a book or buying or selling. Give me my hand up. ”

Still not a single person raised their hand.

"Well, the third question. I have never been to the Qinglou and drank the flower wine to raise my hand. ”

Everyone looked at Li Xiaoliu who was patrolling beside them, and a few of them were about to raise their hands, but they put it down with a weak heart.

"The last question, if you have helped a poor person make money and have fought a lawsuit, raise your hand!"
