Chapter 635: Judgment (2)
After Gan Ren took out the map of hell in Haimachi Village, the case of Yan Yi's arson was basically a foregone conclusion.
Whether it is Gao Ming or Tang Duo, the secretary of the military department, they all think that Yan Yi will die, but what kind of crime to convict him needs to be considered.
Originally, the two wanted to weaken the sense of existence of Japan, and they were mainly charged with taking merit and privately sharing the spoils of war.
But now that Emperor Kanhito has come up with a hellish map, even if the two of them are unwilling, they have to find a way to take care of the face of Japan.
"No one has any objections this time, right?"
Gao Ming asked symbolically, not expecting anyone to speak at all. However, what he didn't expect was that Li Jian, who was extremely active today, jumped out again.
"Gao Ge Lao, the lower officials have something to say!"
"You?"
"Okay, what do you have to say, we have to discuss other political matters after that."
Li Jian cleared his throat and said.
"In the early years, Weichen once followed General Lan Yu on an expedition, and when he passed by a Northern Yuan tribe, the Northern Yuan people in the tribe also welcomed Wang Shi with singing and dancing, which made General Lan very happy, not only did not plunder the army, but left a large amount of salt and grain to give them when he left."
"However, just two days after the army left, the rear army said that a group of bandits had attacked the grain convoy."
"General Lan sent people to surround and suppress the bandits, and found that this group of bandits was the person from the Northern Yuan tribe pretending to be."
"General Lan interrogated those people afterwards, and those people confessed that they felt that General Lan was a bully, not as harsh as other generals......"
Li Jian deliberately paused at this point.
"My lords, sometimes you have to pay the price of blood if you want to see the song and dance of the enemy."
"I think General Yan Yi also killed the killer because of a similar experience of being attacked by a sneak attack."
"Although General Yan Yi is a capital crime, he saved the lives of our Ming soldiers after all!"
"I specially checked General Yan Yi's battle report, and in 34 battles, large and small, a total of 36,000 enemies were annihilated, and the number of people who slaughtered the village was removed, and more than 20,000 Japanese were actually killed."
"General Yan has achieved such a great result, and there are only a dozen sergeants on the Ming side!"
"Such a general may be a sinner to the imperial court, but for a soldier who served as a soldier under General Yan, he is a rare good general."
"Because General Yan led them alive to win victory after victory!"
As soon as Li Jian's words came out, the officials who had just shouted and shouted to kill fell silent again.
Tang Duo glanced at Li Jian quite unexpectedly, he only thought that this product was a big old man, but today he unexpectedly found that there was something about this product.
At least in terms of eloquence!
Let's see if I find an opportunity to transfer this person to the military department as a squire.
With such a guy, the military department will have an advantage when it comes to grabbing military funds with the household department!
Gao Ming listened to Li Jian's quibble, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Although he knew that this guy was talking nonsense and making excuses for Yan Yi's husband, he still chose to believe this guy's words.
After all, for him, the justice of the Ming Dynasty is inviolable.
Even if Yan Yi deserves to die for his crimes, and he has done things that anger the heavens and people's grievances, it still can't damage the sanctity and justice of the Ming Dynasty.
"There is some truth in what Governor Li said!"
"Yan Yi has a way to die, but he is really good in terms of using soldiers and loving soldiers, and he can consider reducing his guilt as appropriate......"
"Shangshu of the Criminal Department, how do you think it is better to convict?"
Yang Jing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, thought about it.
"It's too light to behead the prisoner, it's better to write to Your Majesty, suggesting that Your Majesty give him white silk, let him hang himself, and leave him with a whole corpse."
Gao Ming nodded when he heard this, and looked at the book of the military department again.
"Lord Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Duo nodded.
"This is the best, it not only affirms his merits in killing the enemy, but also preserves his dignity."
"Then vote now, agree to give Yan Yi Bai Aya's red beans, and oppose black beans!"
As soon as Gao Ming said this, two eunuchs immediately held a tray, and one of the eunuchs had two plates in the tray, one plate with black beans and the other with red beans.
Another carried an empty jar for the red and black beans that officials voted on.
The little eunuch walked through the crowd and returned to Gao Ming. Gao Ming took down the jar in full view of everyone and poured all the beans in the jar into a transparent glass dish.
Gao Ming looked at the red glass plate and smiled heartily.
"I won't sing today, the rare consistency passes, hahaha!"
When everyone heard this, they also laughed.
"Who's to say it's not, it's really rare for our cabinet meetings to have this kind of unanimous voting!"
"It can be seen that Yan Yi really deserves it, but our Emperor Majesty is merciful, so he left a whole corpse!"
When Li Jian and others saw this result, they also felt sorry in their hearts.
But if they are asked to re-vote, they will still choose red beans.
Because this kind of disposal is already the best result for Yan Yi.
Normally, the sin he committed was at least the confiscation of his family property and the implication of future generations.
Now not only has he left a whole corpse, but he has not mentioned his family property and descendants, which is really a great grace of the emperor.
The people in the Fengtian Hall were very satisfied with this result, even Lao Zhu, who had always been picky, did not make a sound behind the screen, and obviously acquiesced to this disposition.
Only Ganren was dissatisfied, but because of the unity of the Ming court, he could only endure it temporarily.
After the cabinet meeting, Ganren returned to the mansion and became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and asked his own think tank for advice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming Dynasty deceived people too much, and he didn't take our Japan country in his eyes at all, and this king really couldn't bear it!"
"Your Majesty, you must endure it, this matter can be big or small, don't hurt our harmony with Daming because of this matter!"
"Amika?"
"The Ming Dynasty detained me here, didn't let me return to China, and privately sent the Ming soldiers to slaughter my people, so that I couldn't bear it!"
"I have decided, I will go to beat the Dengwen drum tomorrow, and let the emperor of the Ming Dynasty administer justice to me!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan!"
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty does not treat the people of the vassal country as human beings, not only our Japan is cold, but also Korea, Vietnam, Java, Ryukyu and other countries are also very cold!"
"Why don't we contact them and let them go to the Ming court together to force the Ming court to punish Yan Yi's butcher with death?"
"In addition, the scholars of Daming can also take advantage of it!"
"We can ask someone to contribute to the Daming newspaper, so that the readers of Daming can seek justice for us!"
The more Ganren listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he said happily.
"The Prime Minister is worthy of being my wise man, and if there is anything difficult, I will ask you anything!"
"I have a special identity, and I will ask Taizheng to contact the Ming scholars, and I need gold, silver and manpower, although Taizheng said, I will help with all my might!"
When Sanjo Shidong heard this, he hurriedly thanked him.
"Wechen thanks Your Majesty for your trust, even if Wechen is ruined, he will solve problems for His Majesty!"
Sanjo Shidong said goodbye to the Queen of Heaven, and immediately came to the teahouse under the name of Sanwei Book House to drink tea, and when it was about one o'clock in the evening, the number of people reading in the teahouse began to increase.
This group of scholars just ordered a pot of tea and sat around to eat and discuss the allusions and characters in the book.
Now the most popular books in the capital are Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Golden Bottle Plum, and the same people who break the sky.
For example, the legend of the little doctor fairy of Dou Po, the legend of Xiao Xun'er of Dou Po and so on.
After all, for him, accompanying the emperor in Daming is like going to prison, if he doesn't have some fun by himself, he has to be driven crazy by the days in prison.
Therefore, no matter what topic these readers are talking about, Sanjo Shidong can come together and say a few words.
"Listen to a few little brothers just said Xiao Xun'er?"
"Although there are only thirty copies of the Dou Po script, from the old man's point of view, Xiao Xun'er's identity must be good, and some ancient families may be involved......"
"Oh, the old gentleman is really a bosom friend, and he thinks so too, and he also wrote an article on this matter!"
"Oh?"
"Can you borrow the old man's view?"
"Absolutely!"
A certain scumbag who is not doing his job in the country, happily handed one of his own exposition articles to Sanjo Shidong, and Sanjo Shidong praised it against his will after reading it.
"Such a majestic text, when the three white floats, hahaha!"
"This article is written beautifully, the arguments are novel, especially the analysis of Xiao Xun'er's life experience, it can be described as a meticulous and thoughtful one, and the author of this book is more attentive!"
The scumbag was praised by Sanjo Shidong's words, and he couldn't find the north.
"Thank you, old man, for the compliment!"
"If the old gentleman has free time, you might as well sit down and discuss it with us!"
"Okay!"
"It's just that the old man has encountered some troubles recently, and he wants to find a few well-known writers......"
"Writers......"
A writer is a person who contributes to a newspaper.
With the prosperity of the newspaper industry in the Ming Dynasty, a group of people contributed to the newspaper in Beijing.
Some of these people are officials of the current dynasty, some are students of Guozijian, and some are people who write scripts for a living.
Because of the high quality of their manuscripts, they have a cooperative relationship with the newspaper.
As a result, most of the manuscripts they submit will be accepted by the newspaper, and they will be paid a certain amount of polishing.
What Sanjo Shidong wanted to find was this group of people, but he didn't dare to look for it rashly, for fear of being driven out by the other party, so he could only be recommended by the group of scumbags in Guozijian.
"I really know a few writers, who specialize in contributing to Nanjing Daily, and specialize in writing some articles on the political and political solutions and current affairs commentary, I don't know if I can help Mr."
When Sanjo Minoru heard this, he clapped his hands happily.
"Okay!"
"I just need such a talent, bother the little brother to help introduce me!"
"This ......"
"Little brother, don't worry, as long as you help me introduce me, no matter whether it succeeds or not, the old man will not treat you badly!"
"Shopkeeper, give us two pots of good Longjing, and a few plates of fruit and refreshments!"
"Okay!"
In the time of the scumbag, the shopkeeper served a table of pastries and delicacies.
Seeing this, the scumbag can only bite the bullet.
"I can't hide it, I have a normal relationship with that person, I'm afraid that people don't want to deal with me......"
"It's okay, little brother, just introduce me to me, I won't blame you for success or not!"
The scumbag listened to what Sanjo Shidong said, so he was relieved to sit down and eat refreshments.
After a full meal, the scumbag took Sanjo Shidong to a private house and knocked on the copper ring on the door.
After a while, a small servant came out of it.
"Who, don't let people sleep in the middle of the night......"
"It's me, Yang Xiaoshu, I've met your husband a few times......"
"Yang Xiaoshu?"
"I don't know...... I'm going to ask my husband......"
"But my husband is rushing the manuscript, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to see you......"
When Yang Xiaoshu heard this, he hurriedly took out a few grandson coins from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hands of the little girl.
"This money is used to buy tea for Mr. Xiao!"
The little guy checked the copper coins in his hand, and said happily when he touched the big money of Baiwen.
"Don't worry, I must let my husband come out to see you!"
"Sir...... Sir, there's a guy named Yang Xiaoshu outside! ”
Luo Guanzhong, who was struggling to write, scolded without raising his head when he heard this.
"Nope!"
"The devil knows what Yang Xiaoshu, Yang Dashu's!"
"Sir, I see that there is a high-ranking official of the Wa Kingdom next to Yang Xiaoshu, aren't you going to write a book similar to The Tale of Genji recently?"
"You can just ask this high-ranking official of the Japanese State!"
"Oh?"
Luo Guanzhong basically didn't write much after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written, and only occasionally wrote some commentary on current affairs.
Recently, I got a copy of The Tale of Genji from a maritime merchant, and after reading it, I thought it was very exciting, enriching the subject matter of the script and pointing out a new direction for the subject matter of the script.
Therefore, he always wanted to write a book of Huaxia's own court dialect based on the Tale of Genji.
Now that he heard that a high-ranking Japanese official had visited, Luo Guanzhong became interested.
"In that case, let's invite them to the study!"
"No!"
The little guy ran out of the road happily.
"My husband agrees with you, you come with me......"
A few people followed the little guy to the study, and the little guy gave them hot tea and retreated.
After a while, Luo Guanzhong walked in wearing a Taoist robe and gestured to a few people.
"I wonder what a few distinguished guests are doing when they come to visit at night?"
Yang Xiaoshu immediately got up and said.
"Mr. Luo, this friend of mine has something to ask you for!"
Hearing this, Sanjo Shidong immediately stood up and pushed the brocade box that had been prepared a long time ago forward.
"A small gift, not a tribute, I hope Mr. Luo will smile!"
Luo Guanzhong pursed his lips disdainfully when he heard this.
"What good things can a small island nation have?"
"If you can bring the original manuscript of The Tale of Genji to the old man to enjoy, the old man may still be a little interested!"
"The Tale of Genji?"
If it were someone else, it might not really have this thing. But who made him a close minister of the emperor's side, a hereditary minister?
"It's not that the original manuscript of The Tale of Genji can't be given to Mr., but it's just that it's valuable, and it's far away from the Imperial Palace of Japan, so it takes a certain amount of time......"
"What, you can really get the original manuscript of The Tale of Genji?"
"Of course!"
"This item is treasured by the emperors of the past dynasties, and it is in the treasury of our emperor."
"It's just that my emperor has suffered great injustice recently, and I implore Mr. to do justice for my emperor!"
"After the matter is completed, my emperor will present the original manuscript for Mr. Luo to taste!"
