After Wu Hongji finished crying, he took the initiative to admit that he had impeached Zhang Jingxiu for the sake of fame, and asked himself to be deposed.

Wu Hongji did this because he knew that sooner or later the matter of writing the letter of commitment would be known by the Son of Heaven.

And since he has written a letter of commitment, promising that he is indeed impeaching Zhang Jingxiu for the sake of fame, sooner or later he will lose face inside and outside the government and the opposition, and he will also be regarded as a hypocrite by His Majesty.

Therefore, instead of waiting for the emperor to ridicule him, he should take the initiative to resign, save some face for himself, and let the emperor know that he is still ashamed.

Zhu Yijun approved very quickly this time, on the grounds that although the matter was insincere, but for the sake of frank and timely, he ordered that Wu Hongji would not be severely punished, and said, since you Wu Hongji want to gain fame so much, I will give you a chance, so he will not be dismissed, but only demoted to Myanmar to serve as a magistrate and be responsible for the matter of Fuyi and the implementation of sinicization.

And Wu Hongji was stunned for a long time after receiving Zhu Yijun's imperial approval, and then had to come to Hai Rui and cry to Hai Rui:

"Otsuka Zai, there is an old mother in the subordinate family, if you go to the extreme place, I am afraid of making the old mother sad, and please take the opportunity to wait for Your Majesty to forget about the minister, and transfer the minister back!"

Hai Rui said: "Who doesn't have an old mother, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, if Lingtang is a good mother, he will only encourage you to protect the border and defend the frontier." ”

Wu Hongji saw that Hai Rui refused to show favoritism for himself, so he had to set off south to Burma.

However, Qian Yiyi heard that Wu Hongji was relegated to the extreme place, and Zhao Qing was sentenced to death, and it was all related to the incident of ordinary people blocking Wu Hongji, and he deeply felt that this kind of behavior of participating in political struggle by mobilizing ordinary people was very excessive and dangerous, so he pleaded for Wu Hongji and Zhao Qing, and impeached Zhang Jingxiu, a Jinyi guard, for coercing the people and bullying officials, disrupting the world, and even directly criticized Zhu Yijun in addition to impeaching Zhang Jingxiu, saying:

"Since Zhang Taiyue left, His Majesty has blindly connived at his henchmen without curbing them, and only punished the gossip officials more, so that his words are congested, and his henchmen are arrogant!"

"Now he takes Taiyuezi as a close minister, so that he acts recklessly and does not hesitate to be evil; And for a long time, he did not establish a prince, built a large number of buildings, and gradually did not criticize and slacken, only let the traitorous party control the government, so that everyone in the world did not know that he was afraid of the power of heaven, and the people were brave and bullied officials, and the soldiers were stubborn and dared to mess with Taoism. ”

"I'm afraid that today it's just that the people don't know the fear of the officials, and in the future, the people won't know the fear of the king!"

The reason why Qian Yiyi wanted to directly criticize the dragon scales was not that he forgot to be afraid, but that he knew that the emperor must have agreed to mobilize the people to deal with them, otherwise Shen Shixing, Zhang Jingxiu and other officials would never have the courage to let the people ask the officials, and even allow the "Great Message" to appear.

As the saying goes, hit a snake and hit seven inches.

Therefore, Qian Yiyi directly chose to batch dragon scales.

In this way, first of all, you can remind Zhu Yijun to the point, if you really want to let the common people participate in politics, then if you want to act recklessly in the future, it will only be more difficult!

Secondly, he can also gain a greater reputation and let the world know that he dares to criticize the emperor directly.

After Qian Yiyi's recital went up, Zhu Yijun sneered: "I can't stand the people of the market talking to you about their position so soon?" ”

"Because of this, one will kill people on the spot, and the other will directly teach me a lesson."

Zhu Yijun knew that the ordinary people in the market participated in politics and allowed the people to sue the officials, which was contrary to the social rules of traditional farming civilization that emphasized respect and order.

But the problem now is that the landlord class, represented by many scholars and doctors, who got rich first, although they support hierarchical order, wants to be hierarchical and orderly below themselves, and everyone above themselves wants to be equal, and even gradually wants to control the emperor and make the emperor a puppet of the world, and convenient for themselves, the landlord class, to dominate the world, and can freely restrain the small people.

This naturally made Zhu Yijun not interested in this hierarchical and orderly religious society.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun would rather let the small people participate, and would rather destroy the hierarchical order than let these people who want to become slaves in etiquette and religion get what they want.

Zhu Yijun also understands why Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, wants the entire "Great Message", even if Zhu Yuanzhang is not for everyone to be equal, it is also to not be bound by the bureaucracy.

So, Zhu Yijun didn't care about Qian Yiyi's criticism and reminder, but directly commented:

"As I said, I will talk about things, even if it means that I am not doing something right; But if you directly deny that I am not worthy of being the lord of the world and deny my holy virtues, then you have no king in your eyes and should be a rebel! ”

"Such rebellious criminals should be sentenced to capital punishment, and they will be sentenced to death immediately by an edict and prison for the strict trial of their comrades, and after the trial, they will be sentenced to death!"

Zhu Yijun chose to directly punish Qian Yiyi.

And when Zhu Yijun's instructions were issued, the cabinet adhered to the principle of all the holy will that Shen Shixing had mentioned, that is, the will of heaven, and only took the initiative to be the response worm, and did not seal and discourage the emperor because he wanted to deal with the money so harshly, but according to the edict.

Qian Yiyi quickly received his own Zhu Ben, and also waited for Jinyiwei.

Although Qian Yiyi was ready to rebel against Long Yan, he was still a little surprised after knowing that the emperor was going to crack him.

He was surprised that he was not deposed like Zou Yuanbiao, nor was he kept the whole body, but directly split.

"How is this so, I'm just saying a few words of advice against my ears, why do I just crack the car! What's the difference between this and a one-man thief?! ”

Therefore, before Qian Yiyi was escorted away, he couldn't help but say to his son: "Be sure to run for your father!" ”

After Qian Yiyi was taken to prison, Meng Yanghao had already pleaded for him, and said: "Your Majesty treats your ministers like this, it is not the way of a benevolent monarch!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

After Zhu Yijun saw Meng Yanghao's chapter performance in the Imperial Division, he issued an order again: "Also go to prison and die!" ”

At this time, Shen Shixing had to advise: "Your Majesty is angry, if the ministers are afraid to kill like this, although they dare not hate Your Majesty, they dare to hate the ministers, which is not conducive to the ministers' governance, and the ministers cannot govern The matter is small, but it is important to the Japanese war and the development of Luzon and other political affairs, so please think twice!" ”

Zhu Yijun said: "I have my own way of dealing with it. ”

Shen Shixing heard Zhu Yijun say this, understood it, and didn't say anything more, and grabbed the second assistant Liu Yingjie, who was also going to speak.

Meng Yanghao was also arrested by Jinyiwei from the Six Branch Corridor and taken to the Imperial Prison next.

And Shen Shixing personally went to the secret to intercede for these two people shortly after Qian Yiyi and Meng Yanghao were imprisoned.

Zhu Yijun knew that Shen Shixing understood what he meant, so he instructed: "Since it is Yuanfu who intercedes, then give these two people a chance to go to the edict to send a decree to these two people, if these two people are more repentant, make deep reflection on their mistakes, and confess their guilt, I will be exempted from the death penalty and show benevolence!" ”

After Zhu Yijun issued such a holy decree, Shen Li, a cabinet scholar, asked Shen Shixing: "Your Majesty forced them to swallow back what they said, which is like a punishment for their hearts, which will only make Qian Qixin and them more uncomfortable than death, will it hurt them too much?"

"If you don't hurt them, do you hurt me or you?"

Shen Shixing only asked with a smile after hearing this.
