The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth lifted slightly at this time, and then he watched Shen Yongmao and these people kill all the celebrities and eunuchs who asked to kill Wang Xijue and Li Ruhua just now.

At that time, there were also official schools that rushed out and killed the soldiers who shouted grievances outside.

The screams kept coming.

After a while, the killing stopped.

Then, Shen Yongmao and others lost the knife, and one by one his face was covered with blood, and he knelt in front of Zhu Yijun.

"The ministers have violated the law of the country by killing the thieves without asking for an order, and they are willing to be ambushed and killed!"

Boom!

Shen Yongmao said and knocked headlong into the red snow.

"Your Majesty!"

Liang Menglong stood up resolutely at this time, and said sharply to Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty, they really deserve to die, they did their own murder in front of the Emperor! It's not an exaggeration! ”

"Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to strictly deal with these lawless and rebellious people!"

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister has not had contact with these pro-military guard schools, and he has not had the opportunity to contact them, so the minister did not expect that they would do this for the minister!"

But in doing so, they are already rebellious and deceitful! It should be killed! ”

"What's more, killing the scholars and doctors of this dynasty without authorization in front of the emperor is an unprecedented thing since the establishment of the dynasty, which is outrageous, and it is not enough to correct the dynasty!"

Wang Xijue also took a stand.

Although these middle- and lower-level pro-army guards who launched a riot just shouted "Framing the old man in the pavilion deserves to die", which was clearly for Wang Xijue, Wang Xijue obviously did not appreciate it, and was even very angry, so that his words were full of murderous words.

Because he looked at the celebrities and scholars who fell in the snow, and now he also has a feeling of hurting them.

Just now, Ning Cheng'an slandered him as a cool official in front of the emperor, and even forced Emperor Zhu Yijun to kill him, he didn't say a word, and he had the intention of letting him slander.

Because he had long been prepared to be unjustly killed by the emperor because of this.

That's the case.

Although it seems that the emperor is very merciful, he knows that he ended up like this voluntarily, and it can be regarded as making the emperor completely realize that even if a civil servant like him is willing to work for the people as human beings, it is useless.

After all, the entire bureaucracy is reactionary.

Therefore, even if your emperor uses the righteousness of the country to force individual bureaucrats to betray their own class and fight for power for the people, in exchange for this, it will only be this individual bureaucrat who betrayed his own class to be strangled by the entire bureaucracy!

And.

It will also be the entire bureaucracy that forces the emperor to personally kill the people you have cultivated.

After all, this is a reform that has never been done in history, and it is also a reform that digs up the landlord's roots.

Dong Shouyue, who had not been killed because he had not expressed his stance just now that he wanted the emperor to kill Wang Xijue and Li Ruhua, couldn't help but feel even more surprised after seeing Wang Xijue's attitude on the side, so that he didn't have time to grieve the death of his father and Yue Weng.

For a while, he couldn't tell who was friends with whom and who was enemies.

But in the world, the complexity is complicated here.

What's more, Zhu Yijun is deliberately complicating him and deliberately muddying the waters, so that the reactionaries who oppose the liberation of the people cannot target him, the emperor alone.

Li Ruhua also did not appreciate it.

Like Wang Xijue, he would rather see the emperor unjustly kill them, and then force the emperor to compromise with the entire bureaucracy, and he did not want to see this kind of situation occur.

Therefore, Li Ruhua stepped forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals can't stay, they should be punished!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Luo Wanhua, the secretary of the ministry, also agreed.

Naturally, the ministers could not tolerate such a situation.

"Your Majesty!"

"Please ask Your Majesty to issue an order to pardon the death penalty of today's thief and military minister, and do the way of benevolence!"

But at this time.

Qi Jiguang stood up and said with a resolute face:

"In the past, when the Yingmiao North Hunt, the Tatar army gathered, the Beijing division was in danger, and the power of the eunuch Wang Zhenyu in the country was not eliminated, so that the government could not be unified, so there were jealous ministers who hated each other, and in front of Emperor Jingtai, they killed the remnants of the traitorous party such as Ma Shun, the official of the brocade guard, and saw that this was a loyal and brave person, and resolutely asked for forgiveness for the minister's crimes."

"The minister also serves the public act today, and asks Your Majesty to issue a decree to pardon the loyal and brave men of the pro-army guard, spare them for their capital crimes, and only exile them so that they will no longer act recklessly."

"The ministers did not dare to directly ask His Majesty to completely pardon them like Yu Gong, and damage His Majesty's majesty, and the ministers only asked His Majesty to recite his military exploits and his heart to serve the country with his fists, not to kill, and not to implicate his family, after all, they dare to kill thieves for the country, which proves that there is no problem with their family style."

Qi Jiguang prostrated on the ground as he spoke: "Please advise Your Majesty!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"The cardinal's statement is ridiculous!"

Wang Xijue stood up at this time and said, "Junior Colonel Wu Ben, how can you compare with the Minister of Ministers?!" ”

"In the past, it was a loyal act for the ministers to kill thieves in front of Emperor Jingtai, and today Colonel Wuben is obviously guilty of the following!"

"Isn't Colonel Wuben a loyal act today?"

Nanchang Marquis Liu Wei really couldn't stand it, and stood up at this time to ask Wang Xijue, and then said to Zhu Yijun excitedly with tears:

"Your Majesty, the minister has always been fond of interfering in the affairs of the court, but the minister really doesn't think that today's Wuben Junior School is any different from those scholars and doctors who killed Wang Zhenyu's party in the past!"

"The minister also echoed the cardinal's words, please forgive Your Majesty for the capital crime of killing the thief today!"

"In addition, the minister, as a pro-army commander, is guilty of lax teaching, and he also asks His Majesty for guilt, but Your Majesty can kill the ministers, please don't kill them!"

"They are still young, it's not that they don't know the law of the country, but they are just like those ministers back then, they only think about killing thieves for a while and forget the law of the country, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you can be gracious."

"What's more, in the past, those civil servants killed such close ministers as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and they could still be forgiven for the world, but today's pro-military guards killed only the gentry who committed the crime, can't they forgive the world once?"

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister thinks that today's events are different from the former courtiers of Emperor Jingtai who killed Wang Zhenyu's party, because those people in the past were ministers and ministers!"

Luo Wanhua, the official of the ministry, continued to say at this time.

The views of the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs were clearly very divided.

"But now these people are the Son of Heaven's pro-military guard!"

Qi Jiguang replied loudly at this time.

Luo Wanhua was silent on the spot.

"Your Majesty!"

"The minister thinks that the prime minister only asks for forgiveness for the death penalty of the thief's pro-army Wei Zhongyong official school, instead of directly pardoning it, which is already more righteous, fair, and holy than those ministers and ministers in front of Emperor Jingtai in the past!"

"Does Your Majesty really think that the pro-military guard official academy is not worth opening up?!"

"Saint Wei Hehe, with a heavenly constitution in his mouth, can not only kill those who break the law, but also spare those who break the law, everything lies in the glory of the holy oracle!"

"The people of the world are not qualified to ask Your Majesty what to do, only qualified to ask Your Majesty what to do!"

Zhang Jingxiu, the commander of the left capital of the Governor's Mansion and the Jinyi Guard, also came out at this time and expressed his views to Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, the civil servants can be controlled by the law, but the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals cannot be controlled."

Wang Xijue threw out a reason again at this time, and glared at Shen Yongmao angrily.

He couldn't figure out how he could think about it now, why did Shen Yongmao participate in such a foolish thing? Now, Qi Jiguang took the past civil ministers to ask the emperor to excuse the military ministers' violation of the law, and this time, the question of whether the civil and military should be treated the same again was stimulated.

"Your Majesty, may I ask the elder Wang Ge, just now slandered him and Li Fengxian as cool officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, and even did not hesitate to threaten the monarch's father to kill them, isn't it a thief?"

At this time, Zhang Jingxiu asked.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue: "Answer his question." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Xijue said yes, and then said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks they are not thieves!" ”

"Then the public himself is really a cool official, really killing good people and risking merit, and really corrupting the law?"

"Even Jinyiwei and Dongchang used to be in the shelter?"

Zhang Jingxiu asked.

Wang Xijue's eyes widened immediately when Zhang Jingxiu asked this, and then hurriedly prostrate in front of Zhu Yijun:

"Your Majesty, can the minister retract what he said just now, what the minister means is that the pro-army guards who killed the inferior gentry today are not thieves, not that the inferior gentry are not thieves, the minister made a mistake and heard the wrong words of Da Jinwu."

It was obviously a snowy day in the lunar month, and Wang Xijue was covered with beads of sweat for a while.

He was in a hurry to suppress the martial artists, but he was accidentally caught by Zhang Jingxiu's words.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Li Ruhua stood up again to help Wang Xijue and said: "Even if these Wuben Xiaoxiao are loyal and brave people, they can't help but kill them today, otherwise it will inevitably make the Ming Dynasty repeat the disaster of the five generations, because Wuchen is different from Wenchen after all, Wenchen is different from Wenchen, Wenchen messes with the law, harms the people the most, and Wuchen messes with the law and harms the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, if the civil and military laws are different, it will be more likely to harm the world, but although the world will have a monarch father in the future, there will be no monarch father!"

"Because nowadays, local bureaucrats and gentry often regard the king's law as nothing, all because the law is useful for martial arts and useless for literature!"

"Such an unfair law has been like this for a hundred years since the Tumu Fort, so no one has obeyed the royal law."

"Today's ministers are just asking Your Majesty to spare their capital crimes, not to punish them, this is already a great progress in the law of this dynasty, and it is also a great progress in the majesty of the monarch's father, if Your Majesty really does not do this, is it not equivalent to self-judgment?"

Qi Jiguang spoke clearly again, and directly kowtowed and said: "The old minister asks Your Majesty to spare the crime of defending the death penalty of the pro-army!" ”

"Please spare them the death penalty!"

Liu Wei also knelt down directly and kowtowed on the snow.

Then, Zhang Jingxiu also knelt down: "Please spare your majesty for their capital crimes!" ”

"Please spare them the death penalty!"

"Please spare them the death penalty!"

"Please spare them the death penalty!"

……

For a time, in the entire palace, all the military ministers, from the prince to the small banner soldiers, knelt down with guns in their hands.

Inside and outside the entire palace, under the heavy snow, dense armor was kneeling.

The mountains roared like a tsunami, like iron dragons begging Zhu Yijun, begging to be lenient to them.

Wang Xijue couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw this scene.

The other Wenchen were directly silent on the spot.

Even the celebrities and eunuchs who were not killed, such as Dong Shouyue, were silent.

Dong Shouyue's face was even full of frustration, and he slandered: "We lost completely!" ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Xijue at this time: "Elder Wang Ge, what do you think now?" ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, Luo Wanhua, Liang Menglong, Li Rulong and other ministers all looked at Wang Xijue.

Wang Xijue knew that he had to think about the overall situation at this time, so he said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, the minister now feels that it is actually excusable to kill the sergeant of the inferior gentry today!"

"For, in the trial of all crimes, they should first inquire about their motives, and then determine that there is something forgivable about them, and their motives are good, first, they hate these bad gentry for deceiving the king too much, and only on the basis of loyalty do they do wrong; The second is that he knew that if he didn't do this today, he would lose the prestige of the army, so for the great cause of quelling the rebellion, he also forgot the rules for a while and did so; ”

"The old minister thought about it and thought that no matter what, now that His Majesty is about to conquer the rebellion, in order not to cause chaos in the army's heart, he should not care about the crimes of the loyal and brave first, and give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to avoid capital crimes!"
