Chapter 903: Monarch and Minister
Whether it is the Chu Dynasty, the Mengyuan Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty, the holy decree is sacred.
The four officials glanced at each other, and then Wang Youxiao took the lead, first letting the prisoners stand aside, lifting their official uniforms, and kneeling down to receive the order.
"The minister takes the order."
All four of them were smart people who could probably guess the contents of this decree. Others have no opinion on how to deal with this matter.
The law is merciless, but the human heart is merciful.
Those kings who are ruthless to their subordinates, or let their subordinates take the blame. Yes. And the rule is extremely stable, but it is not the king of our Han.
Wang Youxiao was ready to resist the decree.
Be.
The law is ruthless, but the heart is merciful. But things of principle cannot be easily changed. No jokes. Now that the order has been given to dispose of these people.
Then it shouldn't be, because Zhang Chen is Liu Zhixing's teacher, so he pardons Zhang Chen.
It's not okay.
Isn't that a mess? If Li Yong's relatives break the law in the future, will they also be pardoned?
When the prisoners saw this, they fell silent instantly. Everyone stared at the holy decree in Zhang Zhen's hand in unison, and their eyes showed a look of hope.
Isn't it. Could it be that the king of Han wants to forgive us?
Zhang Zhen didn't care about this, and skillfully read out the will: "Fengtian carrier, the edict of the King of Han is ........." ”
The Holy Decree is a lot of nonsense.
Only a small piece of content in the middle is valid content.
"The widow heard that Zhang Chen, a citizen of Guangchuan, made a living by teaching, enjoyed Shilin, and Deliu Liaodong. If the son is not careful, the door of the house is about to be extinguished. Widowed. Amnesty for Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong and his son. Zhang Chen's son Zhang Yong was beheaded, and Yong's family was exiled to Goguryeo and given to military generals as slaves. Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong's father and son can be avoided for capital crimes, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Raided his home and exiled to Seoul. ”
Lu Qian, Zhu Jianming, and Chen Jiagui were awe-inspiring when they heard this, even if it was the face of the first assistant of the court, it was so big.
There are still favors outside the law.
But things of principle cannot be forgiven.
It's just that the king turned a corner, separated the main culprit Zhang Yong from the Zhang family, and sentenced him according to the previous decision. Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong escaped the death penalty, and the living crime was inescapable.
"The edict is received."
The three of them bowed first.
Wang Youxiao thought for a while and did not choose to resist. slowed down, and bowed: "The minister is edicted." ”
So. The fate of the three members of the Zhang family is the final word.
Zhang Yong was already lying on the ground, his expression dull and paralyzed as mud.
Although Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong escaped death, they saved Zhang Zhong's family and avoided being slaves and maids for others. But it is also sad from the heart.
Zhang Chen looked at his youngest son, burst into tears, and said, "Yong'er." It is the Father's fault that he did not teach you well. ”
"It's the Father's fault."
People's hearts are flesh and blood, although he beats and scolds hard, but in the end he is also his own son.
"Brother Yong." Zhang Zhong also cried.
Those who were there did not sympathize with them. You have to be responsible for what you do. The Han Dynasty was not the Chu Dynasty, and the government was corrupt.
After Zhang Zhen handed over the holy decree to Wang Youxiao, he led the eunuchs, the inner guards and others back to the palace.
The news spread quickly.
For this matter, almost everyone in the middle and high-level of Jiangxian County knows about it. I'm looking at it.
Wu Nian's prestige is world-famous, even if he ignores Liu Zhixing, it will not affect his prestige and morality. After all, the law is ruthless, and Wu Nian is the master of killing and decisiveness.
But Wu Nian took a trick and forgave Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong's father and son.
Nominally, Zhang Chen himself is a teacher, and his name is spread in Liaodong.
This is the attitude towards the heroes.
The founding kings recorded in the history books, in addition to their eloquence and strategy, were divided into treating old ministers well and mutilating old ministers.
Although they are all Ming monarchs, who wants to be a mean and ungrateful king?
But Wu Nian gave limited affection, and Zhang Chen and Zhang Zhong still raided their homes and were exiled.
This Manchu Dynasty civil and military, honorable and honorable ministers, everyone has to consider the consequences of breaking the law. After all, no one is the first assistant, Liu Zhixing has such a big face.
If anyone dares to break the law, he will commit a serious crime. You have to be fully mentally prepared to accept the price of severe punishment.
No matter what.
This has attracted worldwide attention in Jiang County, and no matter what Wu Nian does, it seems to be right and wrong. Now the curtain has come to an end, and it has had a far-reaching impact on the entire government and the opposition.
Inside Mandarin Court.
The three members of the cabinet were working when a small official barged in from outside. walked to Liu Zhixing's side and said a few words close to his ear.
Li Yong and Zhang Haiping each moved in their hearts.
Liu Zhixing finally couldn't hold back, as if he was a deflated ball, and the fatigue of a sleepless night raged in his body.
But he quickly perked up and felt infinite gratitude to Wu Nian.
Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace.
Even if the three divisions were tried, and the Zhang father and son were all killed, he did not complain. What's more, Wu Nian let go of Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhong's father and son.
After settling down, Liu Zhixing raised his hand and hugged his fists at the two and said, "Two adults." Please allow me to leave for a moment. ”
"Your Excellency, please."
Zhang Haiping and Li Yong clasped their fists and said.
Liu Zhixing got off the bed, put on his shoes, and surrounded by eunuchs, entered the harem, came to a palace, and saw Wu Nian sitting in the pavilion.
In the gazebo, there are two desks. The top is full of sake. Inside and outside the pavilion, there are many eunuchs and palace maids serving.
"Zhixing, it's just right. Let's have a drink. Wu Nian looked up at Liu Zhixing and greeted with a smile.
Liu Zhixing looked at this scene, where did he not know that Wu Nian was waiting for him. His eyes couldn't help but be slightly sour, and he took a deep breath before calming down, and bowed his hand and said, "The old minister obeys the order." ”
"Don't say that. Although according to the customs of our Han people. At the age of thirteen, he could marry a wife, and at the age of thirty he would have grandchildren, and he would call himself an old husband. But Cao Mengde said it well. Lao Ji is in the woods, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. You can also be ambitious when you are old, don't call yourself an old minister. ”
"Besides. The widow is also in his thirties, and the widow is still not satisfied with the old. ”
Wu Nian waved his hand, half serious, half joking.
"That's what the king said. The minister lost his words. Liu Zhixing immediately bent down and saluted.
Then the minister took his seat and drank with the king. Liu Zhixing toasted Wu Nian first. Wu Nian drank his face very much, and then said with an endless aftertaste: "Wonderful, wonderful." This Goguryeo royal sake is wonderful. But there's not much left, drink a little less. ”
Liu Zhixing immediately said: "King." Although Goguryeo has perished, the places where the wine is made are still there, and the governor of Youyan can pay tribute to the imperial wine. ”
"Forget it. It's too much. Our Liaodong wine, although it is not as good as Goguryeo's imperial wine. But the amount is large and the tube is full. ”
Wu Nian was moved, but he still shook his head and said.
"Yes." Liu Zhixing responded.
The monarchs and ministers are not drunkards, and they are slightly drunk. Then do what you need to do.
That's how it went.
For the monarchs and ministers of the Han Dynasty, the most important thing was the Northern Expedition to Huanglongfu.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
