Since Zhu Houzhao became the prince of the Ming Dynasty, he has met many people who oppose him, but most of the time it is a dispute of ideas and values, such as Wu Kuan, Cheng Minzheng and other corrupt Confucians.

They didn't do some political activities purely for their own benefit, but they just felt that the country couldn't do it like the prince.

This is the first time this has happened.

Zhu Houzhao wandered around the palace for a long time, and suddenly an idea arose, he also wanted to talk to this kind of person, the so-called knowing each other and knowing himself. I guess there will be a lot of these people in the future.

"Liu Jin, you go and pass the decree and ask Mu Bin to bring that prisoner. Don't torture him, I don't like to enter the palace covered in blood. By the way, and that Zhang Mian brought it along."

After all, he is the soul of the twenty-first century,

He would not be merciful to what to do with the offender, exiled or beheaded, but he could not see goosebumps-giving torture, such as burning people with red-hot iron or stabbing fingernails with needles.

I used to watch TV series, and I already felt pain just by watching it.

Liu Jin was slightly stunned after hearing this, the prince's will was very special.

It's just that he went a little late, and Jiang Qian has already been tied up and whipped twice, but he is also a ruthless person, and he didn't say a word.

Liu Jin was afraid of blood, so he hurriedly informed Mu Bin, "Commander Mou, quickly tell people to stop, His Highness said, kill what should be killed, but don't torture him."

That Jiang Qian also heard this, and his heart was relieved after hearing it. Although he was silent, the pain was not fake.

"Your Highness wants to see him?" Mu Bin was a little strange.

"Just do what you're told. What can we guess what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thinking?" Liu Jin looked at Jiang Qian with a somewhat sinister smile, "It's just that he's cheap."

Zhu Houzhao found a pavilion in the palace that was ventilated on all sides and sat down, now the weather is not hot at all, and even after a while, it will be cold outside, and he has to be stuffy in the house at that time.

When the people brought it, he was playing with a wooden sword with Mei Huaigu and a few others, and he was sweating, which seemed to be a kind of venting. After that, he took the handkerchief from the hand of the palace maid, and while wiping it, he came to the two people led by Liu Jin.

"Your Highness...... The man has arrived."

The prince motioned for him to get out of the way, then glanced at the two men.

Zhang Mian has a narrow head and a wide face, fat and ugly. On the contrary, Jiang Qian has some broad shoulders and a round waist, and looks strong.

With the two of them, if it weren't for this incident, I don't know when I would be able to see the prince.

The crown was bent on begging, and when he saw the prince, he began to cry and confess, "Your Highness! The criminal was confused for a while, so Jiang Qian was blinded, and the criminal heard Jiang Qiang's rumors that day, and immediately said that he would not participate! Please be magnanimous and spare the lives of the guilty ministers."

Zhang Mian was arrested first, but he confessed everything, so he was not beaten much, and there was a long mark on Jiang Qiang's chest.

Zhu Hou glanced at Liu Jin,

Liu Jin was excited, "The slave is a little late."

"Forget it, I think this person is in good spirits." Zhu Houzhao ignored Zhang Mian and said to Jiang Qiang, "Zhang Mian began to beg for mercy when he arrived here, what about you? You don't beg for mercy?"

Of course, Jiang Qian also knelt down.

He doesn't think about himself, he also thinks about his family, and he is still unruly at this time, isn't he just waiting for the Nine Clans. ….

"The guilty minister Jiang Qiang, confessed his guilt and was ambushed, and begged the prince to give the minister death!"

His hair is still scattered, and there is still a bad smell on his body, a court official, and in the end, this is the end, most people should be like Zhang Mian,

But this Jiang Qian is much calmer.

What an outlaw.

"You don't have to rush to die, you have lived for so many years, and you don't care about taking a few more breaths. As the old saying goes, people are dying and their words are good, Jiang Qiang, you are bent on death, you must have no scruples about saying anything, now that this palace is giving you this opportunity, don't you have anything to say?"

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

The energetic prince.

His face was flushed, and there were fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which reminded him of how high-spirited he was when he was a teenager, and where he thought that the ending would be like this.

"Your Highness, what do you want to ask?"

Zhu Houzhao really has a question, "You are also a person who was born as a Jinshi and has read the books of sages. The book of sages says that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, do you think it is right or wrong for the palace to investigate the harm to the people of the Taifu Temple and its subordinate officials?"

It seems somewhat unnecessary to ask such a question about such a prisoner.

Jiang Qian was also difficult to answer this question for a while. The crown annoyed people on the side, saying, "Your Highness is right!"

"Shut up! I didn't ask you!"

Jiang Qian sighed, "Your Highness, why bother asking such a question to the guilty minister. The offender is already a capital offense, whether it is right or wrong, what does it matter?"

"You can't answer, because you know that being a ruler is for the people, and that's what you've been saying since childhood. A person like you opens his mouth to be benevolent and moral, and closes his mouth to be moral and benevolent, but when he really faces the people, he looks down on those people. Is what Hongu said right?"

Jiang Qian raised his eyes, he had always heard about this prince, but this time he really saw it, he didn't understand, "Your Highness, you called the two criminals here to reprimand them in person?"

"No, Hongu...... I want to spare your life, but I want you to be a horseman."

These words made Jiang Zhangmian's body tremble, he was originally a person whose heart had dried up, but suddenly he had hope for life, and the things he cared about suddenly became more.

And Jiang Qian was a little moved when he heard the first half of the sentence, and the second half of the sentence directly gave up again, "Your Highness should kill the minister." The minister does not want to be a horseman."

Interesting.

"You don't even want the suffering of Ma Hu, but you are the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, but you oppose this palace to alleviate the suffering of Ma Hu."

Jiang Qian said: "Your Highness is still a young man, and there are some truths that cannot be written in the book of saints, and the elders and ministers of the pavilion will not tell Your Highness, so Your Highness does not know. But Jiang Qian is about to die, and there are some things that Jiang Qian can say to His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness can know that it is the nature of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, the so-called I have you, you have me, and Jiang Qian is not the only one in the court, if His Highness wants to get rid of everything, it will be inexhaustible. In the future, His Royal Highness will also know that everyone in the world will spit on Jiang Qiang, but everyone in the world will be Jiang Qiang."

Liu Jin's face changed, this Jiang Qian is going to die, and his speech is very bold. ….

"Jiang Qiang! Don't be rampant! You're so shameless that you want to implicate others until you die?"

Liu Jin probably felt that the prince would definitely be angry again when he heard this,

But I didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to just sigh, "You are right. You've got me, I've got you...... The bad things in the world are bad in these eight words."

"Your Highness......" Eunuch Liu was a little worried about the crown prince's mood.

But Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "This palace is fine. Man, you still have to die to tell the truth."

Jiang Qian didn't expect the prince to listen to his words,

In fact, Liu Jin's rebuke is right, how can he, a criminal minister, arrogantly say, 'Except is inexhaustible,' But to his surprise, the prince said that he was right.

"Your Highness is wise and wise, and the life of the criminal is only seen."

"This sentence came out of your mouth, it shouldn't be a sycophant, and this palace will believe it. But even though you're right, this palace still wants to kill you." Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that Jiang Qian was a bit of a modern person, but he still couldn't live, after all, he was not respectful in front of the prince, how could he do it if he didn't kill,

"As for you...... This palace hates you even more than this Jiang Qiang, he is a real villain, you are a hypocrite. But this palace won't kill you, so you can be a horse in the future. You think that Jiang Qian is not smart and doesn't know how to beg for mercy when you come to the East Palace, but this palace tells you that sometimes you are more guilty of living than you are dead, and Jiang Qian is a bright person, and he will be liberated in the future."

"Sinner Minister Jiang Qiang, bow to His Royal Highness Prince Ming, His Royal Highness Prince Xie will give death!"

This guy also shouted this sentence with full anger.

Zhu Houzhao was a little depressed in his heart, as if he was tired and put it casually

Waving his hand, "Liu Jin, do as you are told."

"Yes!"

After everyone left, Zhu Houzhao summoned another eunuch, Gu Dayong, who was waiting, and he lay on the chaise longue that he had brought and ordered, "Go and inform the cabinet." Please appease the ministers, don't worry about the palace being too harsh, that crown is begging for mercy, the palace has spared him from death. As for others who have really harmed the people very badly, they will all be dealt with according to the laws of the Great Ming Dynasty, and there will be no leniency."

"Yes." Gu Da nodded cautiously, and he didn't dare to come out.

"If you want to use torture in the prison in the future, you must ask for the decree to be played."

These two sentences to the cabinet,

Liu, Li, and Xie were all a little sour in their hearts.

Especially Liu Jian, he can understand the prince the most, "Alas, state affairs are difficult, rats are everywhere, and His Royal Highness is also difficult. In particular, this second will is the demeanor of benevolence and righteousness, Your Highness ......."

The old man in his sixties had some red eyes.

People who have not experienced those years do not know the horrors of the Jinyi Guard's prison.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the poet Qu Shiyun said: "In the world of Wei Cui, everything that belongs to the fierce gang, that is, the annoying Ti Ride, and one belongs to the Ti Cavalry, that is, to calm down, the soul returns to the soup fire, the cruelty is unspeakable, and the joy of heaven is not spared if it is transferred to the Law Division."

That is to say, even though they are all in prison, if they can be transferred from the edict to the law department and locked up somewhere else, then it will be as happy as entering heaven.

Especially these old ministers have experienced the Chenghua Dynasty, and the harm of the factory guards at that time was very serious.

Now that the prince can have such a will, it can be seen that although he is strict with his courtiers, he has some benevolence and righteousness in his bones.

"I should praise Your Highness for this!" Li Dongyang said firmly, word by word.

But Xie Qian thought of another section, the East Palace has never made meaningless moves, and this time he suddenly made such a change to the edict and prison punishment, thinking that His Royal Highness came because the ministers of the court asked His Majesty to resume the early and afternoon dynasties.

In the final analysis, Hongzhi is still liked by the literati, and at this point, no matter how clever Zhu Houzhao is, he can't beat Hongji.

But this time, Donggong's trick is hard with soft, soft with hard. Since ancient times, while killing on a large scale, there are also people who record his 'benevolence and righteousness', which is also rare.

And both make sense, righteousness is because torture is restricted, and murder is because they oppress the people.

Awesome, amazing.

However, Xie Qian has also learned to be smart, in the past, he would say the means of going to see the prince, but this time he only thought about it in his heart, and did not destroy Liu Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao.

In fact, he didn't expect the most important part.

Why was the crown prince so sure that the ministers of the court would praise him?

This is what Jiang Qian said, pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, everyone is like this.

It was the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China who restricted the benefits of torture, and Jinyiwei was originally here to deal with them. And it is the grassroots officials who do evil to be killed...... It's not killing us anyway.
