Lao Kan lowered his head and replied: "The minister only thinks about not offending the dignitaries and dignitaries, and forgets the four words of Sheji and Cangsheng!" ”

As he spoke, he pouted and began to cry.

Zhu Yijun didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at Xu Wenbi, the Duke of Dingguo, and Song Shien, the Marquis of Xining: "You guys, you're really too smart!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun turned around and walked into the hall: "The Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Xining will be killed directly with trousers and canes, and there is no need to cut off their heads, for the sake of their ancestors and their own merits." ”

"As for the Dingguo Gong family, like the Chengguo Gong, they were demoted to marquis, except for the acres of land given by Taizu and Chengzu, all the family property was not registered as an official."

"The Marquis of Xining is the same, he was demoted to an earl, except for the acres of land given by Taizu and Chengzu, all the family properties were not registered as officials."

Zhu Yijun turned to look at Xu Wenbi and Song Shien as he spoke, and said:

"I still have to explain in the edict on the disposal of them: It is because of the fact that their ancestors are the founding fathers that I will not destroy their clan and not let their heads be different!"

"But how many generations can the ancestral relics be blessed? How many times can you descend from a prince to a commoner? And if the descendants have been unscrupulous, ignorant of loyalty, and caused the country to perish, how can the new dynasty recognize the old lords of the previous dynasty and still show benevolence? ”

"Think for yourself!"

The celebrant and the eunuch Zhang Hong arched his hand and said yes.

Qi Jiguang and Ma Gui and other newly sealed nobles all bowed their heads slightly after listening to them, as if they were remembering Zhu Yijun's words, and looked at Zhu Yijun more respectfully, and were no longer as shocked as when they saw Zhu Yijun suddenly slash Yang Sizhi and He Yigui just now.

Xu Wenbi and Song Shien had to thank them, but they hoped that the emperor would spare even their own lives, but they didn't dare to say it, so they still cried and mourned.

"As for the others, let the three law divisions deal with it according to the law and merit."

Zhu Yijun said another word, sat back on the dragon chair, and looked at the courtiers in front of him.

Syllable!

Syllable!

Syllable!

At this time, Xu Wenbi and Song Shien had already begun to be beaten outside.

"Ahh

"Ahh

And Xu Wenbi and Song Shien also screamed.

However, because the two of them were not executed outside the hall, but were dragged outside to execute, the voice was not very loud, and it did not affect the speech in the hall.

Zhu Yijun here also talked to Fang Fengshi, Qi Jiguang, Wang Guoguang, Zeng Xingwu, Zhang Xueyan, Shen Shixing, Ma Gui and others in this subtle cane scolding one after another.

Most of these are famous ministers in the early years of Wanli in history, and there are no military generals.

Because Zhu Yijun insisted on not topping up, they could continue to listen to the government in front of the emperor, instead of most of them secretly leaving the court like in history.

"You must be very clear now, it's not that I'm unkind, it's not that I'm not ignorant, it's that the current situation makes me not want to kill people."

"I have three virtues: kindness, frugality, and not daring to be the first in the world;"

"The words of this Taoist are still tasteful places, and there are also places to pass through the scriptures! It is no wonder that the temple believes in it. ”

When Zhu Yijun said this, Fang Fengshi and the backbone of the Zhang Party couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Nervous about what!"

"I will not really get tired of the government because of a group of people who are consumed by profit, and I will no longer believe in the teachings of the sages, but abandon the world, and use the name of worshipping the Tao to do nothing, instead of asking the society and the common people."

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun said first.

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yijun continued: "But I was also instructed by Mr. to do nothing, and I didn't dare to act recklessly, but disobeyed people's words!" He did not dare to satisfy his own desires before sentient beings, and he was willing to give in. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun accentuated his tone: "But some people let me retreat and have no way to retreat, and I want to be benevolent." ”

Zhu Yijun leaned forward as he spoke, looked at Fang Fengshi and the others, and said with a smile: "You say, what should I do?" ”

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "If you wear this crown, you have to bear the weight of the world, and because of the weight of the world, you have to kill!" Unless, if I don't wear this crown, I really go into the mountains to become a priest, or I shave three thousand troubles and go to chant the scriptures! ”

"This is the sin of the ministers, and the failure to conspire to make the monarch fall into such a place!"

Shen Shixing first prostrated on the ground at this time, choked up and said a word.

"Get up and speak."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Shen Shixing.

"Yes!"

"That's right, not only did he fail to do his best, but he also had a heart of peace, only knowing how to protect himself and forgetting the righteousness of the monarch and the minister!"

Wang Guoguang also got up and said at this time, and looked at Fang Fengshi: "Rao is ranked among the third dukes, and he only has the courage to return the seal, and he has no heart to keep his will!" ”

"Could it be that after the death of the Taishi, there will be no reform?!"

"Could it be that after Your Majesty became in power, he never followed the public from private to public?!"

"Is it because the Son of Heaven is benevolent and the officials are not benevolent, do you dare to bully the Son of Heaven and dare not disobey the officials?!"

After Wang Guoguang asked three times in a row, Fang Fengshi couldn't help blushing.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Zhang Xueyan stood up and arched his hand:

"The words of the prince are so hurtful! At least the minister has no intention of retreating, not to mention that now he knows that there are greedy people who want to take the opportunity of liquidating the Taishi and want to engage in party disputes, and steal all the family wealth of the ministers, and even the lives of the ministers, even if they don't know this, the ministers do not want to abandon the king! ”

"Although the Taishi is deceased, but the lord of the world is His Majesty, not to mention that His Majesty has been on the gift of the ancestors, the will of the Taishi, and the heart of the emperor and the queen of heaven to support the people, at this time, the minister should do his best for His Majesty after His Majesty's pro-government, after all, the minister is not the Zhang Party, but the Majesty's minister's party!"

Zhu Yijun nodded.

At this time, Zhang Hong had already hugged many chapters.

Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Hong: "Take out the impeachment of Zhang Aiqing, the secretary of the household department, first." ”

Zhang Hong said yes.

And Zhu Yijun took advantage of the gap that Zhang Hong was looking for and said: "After Mr. goes, it is normal for Zhuqing to have the mentality of wanting to retreat or waiting for sin. What's more, it is also because you do not know the holy will that you do not know what to do. But now you should know that I inherit the teachings of Mr. Wang, practice the rites of saints, and want to achieve the ambition of the great harmony of the world. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yijun pointed to those bullets and said: "Among these bullets, not only are you impeached, but there are also many things you don't know, for example, your Wang Su wants to add a dragon robe to Yu Taishi, and you also say that you Liang Menglong has privately bought royal forbidden things through Feng Bao, etc., not to name a few." ”

Wang Su and Liang Menglong both looked shocked at this time.

Zhu Yijun said: "The cabinet of these bullet seals dare not prepare them without permission, and I haven't dealt with them yet, but I let Jinyi Wei investigate, it is a false matter, and I will keep and dispose of it, but the evidence is conclusive, I took a look, and most of them are as Zhang Xueyan said, which is caused by the current situation and people's hearts, and can also be lenient or lightly punished." ”

"But!"

"I have to tell you at this time, in my eyes, there is no Zhang Dang, they are all my courtiers, and you can't really lose your sharpness just because Mr. is old, although Mr. can no longer sweep up the aftermath for Zhuqing, but I can personally sweep the aftermath for Zhuqing!"

"Emperor, Da Si Nong's bullet medal has been brought."

Zhang Hong walked over at this time and replied.

"Those who have evidence and those that belong to the rumors are all thrown into the furnace and burned! Including copies of the Six Departments or the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not just Zhu Ben. It belongs to planting and did not keep Zhu Pi to dispose of the official! ”

Zhu Yijun said.

Zhang Xueyan's eyes were hot for a while.

At this time, Liang Menglong, who advocated the opening of shipping in history, stood up:

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty! In fact, the minister is not the party of the Taishi, but the minister of His Majesty, how can he be discouraged because of the Taishi, and want to ignore the affairs of the king and the world? The ministers beg for it, and it is determined that His Majesty will serve the dogs and horses! ”

"Burn Liang Qing's too, no need to archive!"

Zhu Yijun said directly when he saw this.

Zeng Xingwu also got up at this time and said: "Your Majesty is gracious, today I did not hesitate to summon the ministers to watch the punishment, and the envoys learned that the so-called dispute over the internal policy line today is like a confrontation between the two armies, and there is no way out at all!" Fortunately, His Majesty is a rare saint monarch through the ages, so he disregards the words of the people in the world and protects the ministers and other thoroughness, how can the ministers feel the emperor's heart again? ”

"Therefore, the minister does not dare to steal life, if Your Majesty wants to die, the minister will not dare to live; If Your Majesty wants to reform the system, the ministers will not follow the old ways! ”

"Hold high the will of the Taishi and protect the temple for His Majesty!"

"Burn Zeng Qing's too!"

Then, Wang Su also got up and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is as benevolent as the sky, and the ministers have to live, and they should be the king!" ”

Zhu Yijun asked people to burn Wang Su's.

"How can Your Majesty form a private party, how will such a minister deal with himself in the future, is it Your Majesty's domestic slave or a scholar?"

At this time, Shujing, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, suddenly got up and asked.

Zhu Yijun looked at him and suddenly ordered: "Immediately approve Shu Shilang's bullet seal for the drifting project money, and set it as a hanging!" ”

Then, the deputy capital Yu Shi Min Xindao stood up and said, "How can Your Majesty make a decision without going through the three law divisions, wouldn't it be unfair to be upright and fair?" And His Majesty is now doing so on suspicion of party protection. What's more, after the Taishi has passed away, there is no need to touch the ancestral roots. ”

"The bribery of Vice President Min and the governor of Li Jiang will also be immediately approved, and it will be decided to be hanged!"

Seeing this, Min Xindao was busy and shouted after being dragged down: "Your Majesty! You are crowding out dissidents, how can you lose your proportion? ”

Shu Jing also shouted after being dragged down: "Your Majesty, you can't take revenge directly because the ministers are not attached to you, is it because the ministers are unwilling to do so, do you have to tell the facts and talk about the king's law?!" Your Majesty, this is not a justice! ”

Zhu Yijun ignored Shu Jing, and only looked at Zhang Xueyan and others: "I am the lord of the world, I have no selfishness, everything I do is public, the so-called things that seem to be unfair, but in fact they are the great duke!" ”

"Your Majesty said yes!"

"Recently, the minister has been aiming to study the Taishi culture in the Hanlin Academy, and realized that the administration should be pragmatic, that is, 'study the ancients well and seek truth from facts'!"

"And for the great public of the country and the nation, we must follow the reality, now, Your Majesty is doing this for the sake of the public and forgiving the sins of some people, but also for the sake of the public and seeking the crime of some people, and the so-called party, if there is a party, there is loyalty, there is a party, and the ministers choose to be loyal to Your Majesty, practice the way of the world's justice, even if you form a party, you are also a public party!"

Shen Lili stood up and spoke at this time.

"Good!"

Zhu Yijun praised it, and said: "The Book of Rites has a cloud: the journey of the avenue is also the world's public; In my opinion, when a party is set up as a public party, it is a party recognized by me, and it is also an imperial party, and those who do not follow this path in the world are not our party! ”

"Your Majesty said so, in the humble opinion of the ministers, the ceremony is the public, and now since the old ceremony is difficult to be public, it is necessary to build a new ceremony!"

"If you want to set up a public party, you must set up the world as a new gift for the public!"

"And as Shen said, since we have to follow the words of the Taishi, proceed from reality, after the great prosperity of commerce and the opening of the sea, as well as the expedition abroad, like the education of foreign garrisons, we need a new set of rites to establish a program!"

"And the old rites are no longer enough to analyze, why not stay in the center and wait for him to come to the court, but still send the king to take the initiative to go out to preach, and even sign a contract to establish a new order;"

"Just as at present, because it is difficult to prohibit public opinion, the trade opened by the first emperor should also need new rites to set order, because if the old rites are used, they will only wait for them to come to the court, and they will not be allowed to come to China to trade."

"What's more, many of the old rites are even an obstacle to the practice of the way of the great prince in this dynasty for benevolence and love for the people, such as parents drowning babies, how can they not punish their parents because of the old rites?"

Yu Youding also said at this time.

"Old rites, new rites, a new order needs to be established now!"

Zhu Yijun laughed: "Very good, sure enough, I didn't protect you in vain, Zhu Qing is the minister of the society!" ”
