Chapter 573: Investigation of the case, public anger
Zhu Houzhao's two ears can't escape this noise, but fortunately, Li Mengyang was just knocked unconscious, and people don't have to worry about their lives, otherwise they don't know what to do.
"I know that you are angry, and I am also angry, but Qianqing Palace is not a place to cry."
The emperor pinched his waist and walked back and forth, obviously a little annoyed in his heart, but he still had to be patient, Zhao Shen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was fine, and Wu Jiao, the secretary of Dali Temple, was also a white-haired old Confucian, full of rules and regulations.
"The secretary of the criminal department is also here, and you will take the lead in this matter, and I will definitely find out what I have done. With the result, I will punish myself, so that I can be considered to be accountable. Two Aiqing, what do you think? ”
Zhang Mao was upright and did not avoid the holy power, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it is inappropriate. ”
"What's wrong?"
"It's not that the minister doesn't believe Zhao Shangshu, it's just that Zhao Shangshu and Yan Song are masters and apprentices, everyone knows about this matter in Beijing, if Zhao Shangshu is asked to investigate, the old minister is afraid that the Beijing master will have a lot of criticism."
As soon as Zhao Shen heard what this was called, he immediately defended himself, "Your Majesty, although the ministers are stupid, they also know that the monarch and the minister are the great righteousness, and the master and apprentice are the minor righteousness. ”
Dali Siqing Wu Jiao's face was horizontal, "Zhao Shangshu, it's not that I don't believe you." But you always have to avoid suspicion when doing things, which in itself is also to show your majesty's justice to the ministers! ”
This guy has a tall hat for people to wear.
Zhu Houzhao originally also intended to protect Yan Song, to be honest, if the case of beating an official of the court on the street was really involved, it would still be very troublesome, because it was too bad and almost everyone would not tolerate it.
"Wu Qing, then you are the main one, and Zhao Qing is the auxiliary, so, it's okay, right?"
"Your Majesty is wise! The minister is willing to accept this position, until it is found out who did it, and ask Your Majesty to do justice to the world! ”
Zhu Houzhao replied simply, "Be fast, such bad deeds must not be done by some smart people, and there will be no fewer clues left, don't delay for too long, I am very angry like you, I have to find out these villains, otherwise the anger in the hall does not know where to come from, and it is all coming at me, I don't want to be this wronged leader." ”
"The ministers don't dare."
"Hmph." Although Zhu Houzhao uses Zhang Mao, he still has to point out his stinky temper, "How dare Mr. Zhang." ”
"Your Majesty has misunderstood the minister, the minister...... The minister was out of honor for a while, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime. ”
"Forget it." The Emperor waved his hand, "Just remember that I am on the same side as you, and it is enough to punish the murderer." The movement is a little bigger, so that people know that the court will not suffer this dark loss. ”
"Yes."
Zhang Mao and Wu Jiao received such a will, and they were already satisfied, no matter how much more, what else could they do? It would be unreasonable to let the emperor kill people now.
Despite this, the next day, various officials of the Taoist Department and even some officials of other yamen sent a letter to the emperor, demanding that the murderer be severely punished.
Seeing that the ministers were so angry, Zhu Houzhao didn't know if it was time to thank Yan Song, but the effect was not bad.
Dali Temple and the Criminal Department also immediately took action.
This Wu Jiao has to suppress Zhao Shen in this matter, but if he really goes to the scene to investigate the case, it still depends on Zhao Shen.
After all, people are connoisseurs.
Li House.
Li Mengyang had already woken up after resting, and the holy will of the Son of Heaven also comforted Li Mengyang's relatives and friends, after all, Zhao Shangshu of the Criminal Department had already begun to investigate the matter thoroughly.
“…… Where was it that day? What time is it? Do you remember what the assailant looked like? ”
"In the Holy Rite Workshop, around the beginning of the unitary hour, it looks like a group of people from three sects and nine streams."
"Do you only hit people? Is there a robbery? ”
"Yes, a few taels of silver were robbed."
Li Mengyang's friends were also there, and they were all a little shocked, "The ruffians are so bold as to rob the imperial court officials? ”
"It doesn't make sense." Zhao Shangshu asserted, "If you want money, you can choose a certain place and other people, and you can start the same." Tianci is a fourth-grade official of the imperial court, where do ordinary hooligans get such courage? ”
Li Mengyang had a white cloth tied to his head, and dark red blood was oozing from one of them, "They also spoke and scolded the lower officials." ”
Zhao Shen came to his senses when he heard it, "What did you scold?" ”
"Nosy."
"Nosy?"
These four words are puzzling.
"Anything else?"
"It's gone."
Zhao Shen felt a little pity, the perpetrator was very stupid, and he would leave so many clues, but he didn't seem to be stupid enough to sign up directly. As for the four words of nosy......
“…… What's been going on lately? ”
Could it be because of the vassal king?
……
……
Yan Mansion.
Den.
"To tell you the truth, it's really not you?"
Yan Song secretly paused a little, but he could tell the difference, "It's really not me." ”
"But everyone outside suspects it's you."
"The student is not stupid, if he really wants to compete with Li Mengyang, then the student will fight with him in front of the emperor, how can people sneak attack him? How can a student do such a stupid thing? ”
Zhao Shen frowned, and there was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
"If it's really those people, it's also troublesome......"
"Teacher has a clue?"
"When the perpetrator was beating Li Mengyang, he scolded him for being nosy, although the number of words is not much, but he can vaguely guess that Li Mengyang has been in charge of other idle things in addition to fighting with you recently because of the trouble of the sect? It's just that...... If it is only handed over with such a result, the emperor's face is afraid that it will not look good. ”
Yan Song's eyes purred.
"Actually, it's not impossible! Only the royal family is so bold, if it is replaced by someone else, who would dare? Also, there is one thing that students don't know whether to talk about or not. ”
"What's the matter?"
Yan Song pretended to be aggrieved, "There are indeed several clans in the capital, and they have also found students. But in front of you, the students dare to vouch for their lives, even if those few people do it, it is definitely not the student's instructions! ”
"What?" Zhao Shen was surprised, "There is such a thing?" The clan still dares to enter Beijing without a will? Wait a minute. If that's the case, even if the teacher believes in you, others won't believe in you! ”
So, no matter how this case goes, this trip to Guizhou is decided.
"Please also ask the teacher to wash away the grievances for the students!"
……
……
Zhu Houzhao didn't do much business today, but he did meet a lot of ministers before and after, Song Heng of the Library Garden, Gu Zuo of the Shaofu Order, and Wang Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, etc., they may not all be familiar with Li Mengyang, but they are all here for Li Mengyang's affairs, and it is nothing more than those words, this matter has really caused public anger.
Even Wei Ningbo entered the palace to intercede for Li Mengyang.
Werningberg hasn't had any errands lately, and after that, he wants to ask for a job.
Zhu Houzhao felt that he was incapable, so he always involuntarily ignored him.
"What do you want to do?"
"The minister knows that he is stupid, only a piece of loyalty to His Majesty, and whatever His Majesty says, the minister will do."
This kind of person is good, if there is one of the eunuchs, then it is good to do some work of serving tea and pouring water, but a noble is actually not easy to arrange.
He had to think about it.
"Take me for a walk."
"Yes."
Winter is coming, the weather is already a little cold, Zhu Houzhao wrapped a very thick jacket on his body, and put on a peasant's posture on his hands.
"Wellingbourg, since I ascended the throne, I have punished many nobles who have committed crimes, and the British Duke was still in charge of the Beijing camp in the past, and now he is also recuperating at home. Do you know what they said in private, do you have any whispers about me? ”
"How dare they! Thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, and according to what they have done, the emperor is already extrajudicial and gracious. ”
"Ugh." Zhu Houzhao looked with some memories, "I can actually feel that the first emperor was generous to others, and the court during the Hongzhi period was more warm than now, and it is estimated that many people miss the first emperor." ”
"The first emperor is as good as the first emperor, and the emperor is also good as the emperor."
"Can you get along with them?"
Willingbo shook his head with a little hesitation, "Your Majesty knows...... The courtier's mouth is stupid. ”
Zhu Houzhao cut off, "They are afraid that you will leak the bottom of it, it is nothing more than those thoughts, what else can there be?" But I don't care, Werningberg, you don't have to care, you have to see who has a better future. ”
"Your Majesty. In fact, they ...... They are also afraid of Shengwei, and they all feel that His Majesty does not like them. ”
"Is that how it is said out there?"
Werningberg nodded.
Zhu Houzhao rolled his lips, "The Forbidden City is such a place, there is a fart in the palace, and it is like thunder outside, it's fine." However, I have been thinking lately that the reason why Xungui is Xungui is because their ancestors have contributed to my Zhu family's country. From the perspective of being kind or not, I, the descendant of the Zhu family, have to take care of the descendants of Xungui. ”
Wang Xuan of Weiningbo was a little moved when he heard this, he was close to the 'ancestor', his title was earned by Wang Yue, and the emperor should say that he still took care of it.
"Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and he is a holy king."
"The Holy Monarch is not the Holy Monarch and left it for posterity to say. But then again, governing the country is not child's play, I am not as good as Taizu Taizong, and the children of Xungui are no longer capable of their ancestors, and the country is strong and always needs talents, so I can only choose some of them to use. In the Zhengde Dynasty, the nobles were slightly declining, Wei Ningbo. ”
"The minister is here."
"You take some pains, communicate with various families a lot, see if there are any minds that are still bright, recommend it to me, and I will also credit you."
The emperor is a lonely man, but he can't really make himself a loner, and he wants to be kind while exercising power. Although he had already conferred the titles of Jinglu and Pinghai Earl, it was not enough.
Wei Ningbo knelt down, "Thank you for your majesty's longen!" ”
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and sighed, "On the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, there is only one Zhu Feng, the second son of Chengguo Gong, this is far from enough, I hope that there will be more noble children, and I will leave this matter to you." When I go back, discuss it with your sister-in-law, and she has an idea. ”
"I understand."
Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood, "Let's go, accompany me to play a few tricks, you are behind the door, you can't be helpless." If you can't be a general, you have to be a deputy general. ”
Wei Ningbo's holy favor is long, but it's a pity that he can't make contributions, otherwise he won't be able to earn a Hou Ye.
