Chapter 373: Re-education!
Lao Zhu didn't want his eldest grandson to kill people, at least he didn't want him to kill too much.
If you have to kill someone, you can dump him as a grandfather.
Anyway, he is already a Zhu butcher, even if he kills a little more, it is nothing.
However, Lao Zhu was quite relieved to learn that the eldest grandson could take the initiative to control his emotions and only lock up a few first offenders, and let everyone else go back to work.
At the very least, this kid is not willing!
Those imperial historians who had just finished impeaching Zhu Yunxi, and the six departments were also dumbfounded after learning about it.
Emperor Sun Shengming!
Such a big event can still restrain the desire to kill, and it is a little bit stronger than the old emperor!
The officials of the Ming Dynasty actually have very low requirements for the emperor, as long as they don't kill indiscriminately and don't manage things indiscriminately, they can accept it most of the time.
Gao Ming and the other three old men came to Zhu Yunxi's cell again to apologize and express their apologies for Zhu Yunxi's misunderstanding.
"The old man misunderstood His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, but the Imperial Grandson was still benevolent and righteous, and he didn't think about making a big deal out of it......
Zhu Yunxi listened to Gao Ming's apology and nodded without hesitation.
"Lone has accepted Master Gao's apology!"
"Ah......h
Gao Ming was stunned on the spot when he heard this, under normal circumstances, shouldn't the imperial grandson be modest for a few words?
Yang Xinlu looked at Gao Ming's bewildered expression, and couldn't help laughing.
"Lao Gao, you don't want to think about when our Royal Highness was humble, hahaha!"
Gao Ming heard Yang Xinlu's laughter and saw Zhu Yunxi looking at him with a smile on his face, and then he understood.
"Oops!"
"Don't make fun of the old man, the old man really knows it's wrong."
"But then again, what is the Emperor Taisun going to do with these people?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head when he heard this.
"Alone!"
"Shouldn't this kind of matter be handed over to the Three Law Divisions for trial and let them decide the life and death of these people?"
Gao Ming was stunned again when he heard this, then took two steps back, knelt on the ground respectfully, and gave Zhu Yunxi a big salute.
"The old man thanked His Royal Highness the Emperor on behalf of the world!"
Yang Xinlu and Qin Hengbo were originally standing on the side to watch the excitement, but when they saw Gao Ming's attitude, they also knelt down in the same way.
"The emperor's grandson's move is a model of a Ming monarch!"
Yang Xinlu's praise is not a sycophant, but a praise from the heart.
In their opinion, this is a major concession for the imperial grandson to respect the law and achieve the rule of law!
Officials in ancient China, whether civil or military, actually did not like emperors who were too strong.
Because the emperor is too strong, he will bypass the judiciary and procedures to make decisions in a disorderly manner.
If he is a wise lord, he also knows to exercise restraint. If there is an unreliable emperor, then the people of the world will be miserable, and the country will have to be tossed and messed up.
Therefore, since the emergence of the creature "emperor" in China, the courtiers have been playing with the imperial power for 2,000 years.
They tried their best to put the imperial power in a cage, but they were broken out of the cage by the powerful emperor again and again, and realized their personal arbitrariness.
It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong in this kind of thing.
After all, the history of ancient China is too long, and there are many examples of finding powerful emperors to prosper the country, and there are many cases of finding powerful emperors to toss and scatter the country.
In short, it's a muddled account.
Now Zhu Yunxi is willing to take a step back and attribute the right to judge Ru Yu, Xu Lian, and Wu Xuan Shilang Zhong Shi Laigong to the Three Law Divisions, and he is already the most enlightened person in the old Zhu family.
If the old emperor is allowed to dispose of it, the heads of several people may now be hung on the city gate.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi really didn't think as much, and the reason why he decided this way was just to see how many lower limits the officials of the Ming Dynasty still had.
Now this case is also conclusive, the human and material evidence is there, if the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate dare to make a fool of him
If he is acquitted, then he is really going to kill.
The next day, when the case of the military department framing the imperial grandson was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yuan Tai, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, was also stunned.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, aren't all cases in which Jin Yiwei participates in Qin cases, how can they still be sent to them for trial?
Yang Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Zhang Tinglan, the secretary of Dali Temple, also received the file of this case, and after seeing the confessions of a cadre from the Ministry of War, the two made a judgment together.
The evidence is conclusive, the evidence is ironclad!
It's just that how to convict, the two have a lot of disagreements.
"According to this official, since the imperial grandson handed over this case to us for trial, it is a trust in us, and we must make a strict and heavy judgment, so as to be worthy of the painstaking efforts of His Royal Highness the imperial grandson!"
Zhang Tinglan was a little displeased when she heard this.
"If it is according to what Yang Shangshu said, then you have to be sentenced to deceive the king."
"Once the deceitful is convicted, then the families of these people will all die!"
Yang Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sneered.
"They have done such a horrific case and framed the emperor's grandson, shouldn't they be buried with their whole family?"
"This ......"
When Zhang Tinglan heard Yang Jing say this, she couldn't help but look at Yuan Tai, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, on the side.
"Lord Yuan, how do you think this case should be decided?"
Although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also a party to the three legal divisions, the Metropolitan Procuratorate rarely participates in the trial of cases.
Therefore, Yuan Tai saw the two kicking the ball to himself, and he was a little unhappy on the spot.
In fact, this case is very simple, there is a reason for a heavy sentence, and there are reasons for a light sentence.
But no matter whether the sentence is heavy or light, the most important thing is to satisfy the imperial grandson and His Majesty.
However, how can you keep these two people satisfied?
"What do you say, what do Your Majesty and the Imperial Grandson think, do they want to be sentenced harshly or lightly?"
Zhang Tinglan and Yang Jing also fell into thought when they heard this.
It's really hard to say this, if it is according to the old emperor's temperament, it is naturally a decision, and the three clans are good.
But if you look at the meaning of the emperor's grandson, it seems that he does not have the intention of re-sentencing, otherwise he would not have sent them to the three law divisions for trial.
Therefore, how to adjudicate this case has gradually evolved into a question of taking sides.
Whether to follow the character of the old emperor or the character of the emperor's grandson.
Yang Jing pondered for a while.
"It's better to sentence it heavily, after all, now that Your Majesty is in charge of the country, if the sentence is light, Your Majesty won't be able to pass that level!"
"But the imperial grandson obviously has no intention of making a big deal of it, if we sentence too harshly, will it leave a mean impression on the imperial grandson?"
After Yang Jing and Zhang Tinglan exchanged opinions, they looked at Yuan Tai again.
Yuan Tai is an old fox, how can he easily express his position.
"Why don't we draw lots?"
When the two of them heard this, they both rolled their eyes.
Such a matter of life, this guy actually proposed to draw lots?
When the three law divisions had a headache, the Manchu civil and military also launched a series of speculations about the case.
Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Tang He and the three of them sat in the tavern opposite the Huimin Medical Pavilion, drinking wine and discussing it in small sips.
"How do you say that the three fools of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will handle this case?"
Feng Sheng shook his head, and then poured himself a sip of wine.
How could he, the mallet brain, figure out this kind of thing, let's listen to the analysis of the two bigwigs.
Tang He Zida regarded the Huimin Medical Center as his home, and he also knew a little more about the conduct of the officials in the capital.
It's not that he deliberately inquired, it's just that there are too many patients, and hearsay fills his brain.
"In my opinion, this case will be sentenced to a heavy sentence, and they will be sentenced to death, and then the whole family will be exiled!"
Fu Youde thought about it and nodded.
"Hmm!"
"If this is the case, it can be regarded as an explanation to the imperial grandson."
"It's just that if the rotten madman comes back in two days and learns that his nephew and grandson have been bullied, he must not secretly send someone to slaughter the whole family of those people?"
When Feng Sheng heard this, he immediately interjected.
"Possibly!"
"Lan Yu's guy is not easy to get along with, now that his nephew is so angry, the government and the opposition are praising him, this old man will wake up laughing in his dreams!"
"His son also understood the arrangement, and went to the side of the imperial grandson to be a guard, and he is destined to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime in the future."
"Even if Lan Yu's guy learns and rises, he will earn a life for them, hahaha!"
While several people were discussing, in Princess Ningguo's mansion, Princess Ningguo was also discussing this matter with the concubine.
"I really didn't expect that my eldest nephew would be so restrained and bullied so badly, and he didn't kill anyone on the spot!"
Princess Ning Guo's words were somewhat disdainful, and she felt that Zhu Yunxi was too merciful, and she was not at all as decisive as her father.
Mei Yin has been sleeping with Princess Ningguo for more than ten years, how can she not know what kind of heart her mother-in-law is?
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"The emperor's grandson's treatment is in line with the law of the country and in line with the principles of heaven and the people."
"It's not good for my father to abuse lynching like that, and thousands of years later, history is like iron, and I don't know what to say about it!"
When Princess Ning Guo heard this, she stretched out her slender jade finger and poked her husband's brow.
"You're just a nerd who reads Confucian books and reads stupidly......
"Are those brothers in the palace easy to control?"
"The eldest nephew of this palace, if he doesn't have some extraordinary means, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, I am afraid that this country will not be able to sit steadily!"
Mei Yin smiled slightly when she heard this, but did not take advantage of this conversation.
"You just don't have to worry about it, my father thinks a lot longer than you think!"
When Princess Ning Guo heard this, her heart suddenly moved.
"What do you mean by this, did your father give you a secret decree?"
"Don't ask, you can't say such a thing!"
When Princess Ning Guo saw her husband say this, she was even more convinced that her father had given him a secret decree.
"Husband, can you show me......
"No ......"
Lao Zhu was also quite concerned about what kind of result the Three Law Divisions would give, but he was embarrassed to ask, for fear that he would send someone to ask and affect the verdict over there.
But if the sentence is too light, he will really go crazy.
If you can't do it, you can also arrest the three law divisions and check them out.
Fortunately, the three law divisions didn't dare to let him wait too long, and the verdict was quickly delivered.
Although Lao Zhu felt a little light after reading it, he was generally acceptable, and it could be regarded as giving the eldest grandson Liwei.
"Someone, call the eldest grandson over and let him see for himself that the verdict is still satisfactory!"
"No!"
Beizhen Fusi was not far from the palace, and Zhu Yunxi rushed to the Qianqing Palace after a while.
Lao Zhu threw the verdict of the Three Law Divisions to him.
"See for yourself, if you don't feel satisfied, you can change the sentence!"
"No matter what you decide, we're on your side!"
Zhu Yunxi took it and took a look, only to see that it was written on it that all the participants would be decided. The men were exterminated, and the women were exiled.
To be honest, this sentence is neither light nor heavy.
If it is really strictly in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty, the three clans of Yi are all routine operations.
But Zhu Yunxi was not here.
Therefore, after reading the folds, I picked up the pen and changed it on the top.
"Grandpa Huang, this is the disposition of the grandson!"
Lao Zhu took it and took a look, only to see that the eldest grandson made a big "" on the judgment of the Three Law Divisions, and then wrote with a Zhu pen below.
All the people involved in the case and their families were sent to the coal mines to receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants.
When Lao Zhu saw this verdict, his whole body was numb.
"Grandson, what do you mean?
」
"Besides, what is the re-education of the poor middle peasants?"
"Back to the emperor's grandfather, the so-called re-education of the poor middle peasants is to let them support themselves and work like ordinary people!"
"This ......"
Lao Zhu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he always felt that it was too cheap for those people, and he was too wronged by his eldest grandson.
"Isn't it too light?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.
"Not necessarily!"
"Not everyone can withstand the drop from the clouds to the dust!"
"Killing people is simple, but it doesn't solve the problem."
"For example, the essence of this incident of the military department is that because of the grandson's workshop, their military department has eaten the cake of loss!"
"Therefore, how to reform the salary structure and how to optimize the management system is the focus of our work in the future."
"As for these greedy people, it doesn't matter so much whether they kill or not."
Lao Zhu listened to the eldest grandson's words, and then looked at the unconcealable Xiao Suo on the eldest grandson's face, and only felt a pain in his heart.
The eldest grandson has suffered this time!
But it was precisely this hardship that made the eldest grandson more mature, more stable, and more long-term.
When he, the emperor, was still thinking about how to take revenge, the eldest grandson had already thought about how to take precautions and reform the system of the imperial court.
Lao Zhu didn't know whether to be relieved or distressed for a while......
"How are you going to change it?"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he took out a piece of music that had been written a long time ago from his sleeve.
"Grandpa Huang, everything my grandson wants to say is here."
"You have been Bingguo for more than 20 years, and you have always helped me check the gates, what about these measures?"
Lao Zhu only glanced at it after opening it, and his body couldn't help but sit up straight, and then he held it with both hands to read it.
"Grandson, did you really write this?"
"It wasn't ghostwritten by your three masters, was it?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a wry smile and said.
"Grandpa Huang, look at the third article above, the one where the officials and gentry pay for the grain in one piece......
"Do you think that the three masters of your grandson can come up with this?"
"This one counts all three of them, which is tantamount to depriving them of their privileges, how can they support it?"
"After the grandson wrote this recital, the imperial grandfather was the first person to see this thing besides the grandson!"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he showed a relieved expression on his face, and then turned to the people on the side.
"Someone, get us a brazier!"
"No!"
After a while, Qin Deshun was holding a brazier with charcoal, and Lao Zhu hesitated slightly and threw the piece into the brazier.
Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi hurriedly ran over and snatched the music out of the brazier, and asked Lao Zhu with displeasure.
"Grandpa Huang, what are you doing, even if your grandson's recital doesn't make sense, you can't burn it!"
Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson and said with a distressed face.
"Eldest grandson, this matter is too difficult, we don't want you to suffer this sin!"
"Do you know how much resistance you will encounter if you want to implement this policy?"
"The people, the squire, and the officials will unite against you, and when the time comes, not only will you not be able to carry it out, but you will even lose the country!"
Lao Zhu's face was full of fear, even when he faced Chen Youliang back then, he had never been so flustered.
However, after watching the eldest grandson's recital, his heart was completely confused.
He used to dislike the laziness of his eldest grandson and didn't like to participate in court politics.
Now he just hopes that the eldest grandson will be lazy, as long as he completely copies the system he has set and becomes a master of success.
Zhu Yunxi muttered when he heard this.
"Not necessarily......
"My grandson thinks these suggestions are very good, not to mention that Lao Cheng is seeking the country, it is also to the point of the times, and it is a good policy to save the country and save the people."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his eldest grandson say this, he only felt a headache.
To be honest, he also thinks that the eldest grandson's advice is good, and even the good governance that creates the foundation of everything.
But governing the country is not about right or wrong, but about whether it is suitable or not.
At least, judging from the fact that he has been an emperor for more than 20 years, several suggestions from the eldest grandson are not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.
"You're still not convinced?"
"Let me ask you, how do you plan to implement the whipping law written in Article 1, which converts all taxes and forced labor of the people into silver taels and copper coins?"
"Do you know how short of copper and silver we are?"
"The common people don't have any money in their hands, how do you let them pay their taxes with money?"
"Another thing you may not have thought of is that once the imperial court begins to collect money, the common people will have to sell their grain at a low price to the squires and cool officials, and they will be exploited by them."
When Lao Zhu said this, he sighed heavily and said.
"Don't you want to collect cashier's money, you really can't bear to see the people being exploited twice!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson has long considered this, and my grandson is trying to open supply and marketing cooperatives in various places, just to stop the exploitation of the people by the squires and cool officials, and give them a way to sell agricultural products at a high price......
Lao Zhu sneered a few times when he heard this, and then threw the pile of folds in his hand to the eldest grandson.
"Let's take a look at that!"
Zhu Yunxi picked up a piece of music and flipped through it, only to see that the imperial historian impeached him, saying that the supply and marketing cooperatives he opened were forced to buy and sell, and purchased people's grain, poultry and other things at low prices, causing unrest among the people.
"It can't be, right?"
"They must have made false accusations!"
Lao Zhu Wenyan threw him a copy of the fold again.
"Just look at this!"
"We've been sending people to keep an eye on what you've done, and if you don't believe the words of the Imperial Historian, then you should believe the people we sent out, right?"
Zhu Yunxi picked up this piece and flipped it over, and his face instantly turned pale.
I saw that there was a report from Jinyiwei on the top, saying that it was Jiangpu County's order to force the people to sell grain to their supply and marketing cooperatives in Qingpu County at a low price in order to curry favor with themselves.
When the people run out of food, they buy grain from the supply and marketing cooperatives at a high price......
