Zhu Di also revealed the essence of a scoundrel, he first identified the hero and rewarded the flying fish suit. If anyone is opposing, it is tantamount to opposing the Son of Heaven.

You'll have to weigh the consequences!

The three officials of the Three Law Divisions are all one of the Great Nine Secretaries, how can they not understand this matter...... It's just that once this case is announced, it will be too dangerous for hundreds of officials.

Because this precedent offers a very terrible way of thinking.

As long as there is something wrong with you, even if you corrupt the rules and are unkind, and then you will be disloyal and unfilial, and you will be deceived and reckless...... Directly destroy the nine clans, no need to negotiate.

How do you play this?

"Your Majesty, the minister has read the manuscript and thinks it ......" Zheng Ci swallowed.

"Why?" Zhu Di asked.

"The minister thought that when he talked about this case, it was nothing more than an official prostitute and misconduct. and is a woman from a good family, the crime is added to the first degree...... Just dismiss the official, no matter what, you shouldn't be beheaded, and I hope Your Majesty will be gracious! ”

After speaking, Zheng Ci fell to his knees and prostrate on the ground.

Guo Zi and Wu Zhong glanced at each other, and they both knelt down, "The ministers seconded the proposal, please be gracious to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Di looked at them and smiled, "You say that, it's Huang Zhixian who made a mistake, and I also made a mistake, right?" ”

Zheng Ci hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't mean this, Huang Zhixian is meritorious in asking the case, diligent and loyal, and it is natural to be rewarded." The minister was willing to protect Huangzhi County and be promoted to the imperial history of the capital. ”

Huang Xiaoru is a high-level six-grade county, and the imperial history of the capital is the fourth grade.

"Huang Zhixian, did you hear it, Zheng Shangshu has asked you for merit, and I want to promote your official position."

Huang Xiaoru's face was serious, "If you return to Your Majesty, the minister will ask about the case, and the proposed result, if it can be recognized by the government and the opposition, the minister will naturally have merit, if the government and the opposition do not approve, it will be a dereliction of duty and should be punished...... Zheng Shangshu said that although the minister was wrong, he could make steady progress, and the minister really couldn't figure it out. I don't dare to accept it in vain, and I ask Your Majesty to be clear. ”

Zhu Di smiled, and he twisted his head to Xu Jingchang again.

"Dingguo Gong, what do you think of this person in Huang Zhixian?"

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Lao Cheng is serious and a reliable talent. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "You say that he is reliable, but Zheng Shangshu and they think that he is arbitrarily judged, what do you say?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Zheng Shangshu, you are in charge of a country's criminal name, you must agree with the fairness of rewards and punishments, there is any crime, there is no punishment, you can't be sentenced for a serious crime, you can't be sentenced for a minor crime, right?" ”

Zheng Ci took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Since Dingguo Gong understands this truth, he should advise His Majesty not to judge the case like this, otherwise, the world will be in chaos." ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Zheng Shangshu, you listen to me after I finish speaking, this case, the people involved in it are all court officials, and they have read the way of Confucius and Mencius." Talk eloquently in front of people, poetry and etiquette, and morality. Even exhorting the Son of Heaven, the head is the way. I think that since you advertise this, you can only use this to ask you. ”

"You can't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but behind the scenes, men and women prostitutes, right?" Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Such a person, with two faces, how can he gain a foothold in the court?" How can you assist Your Majesty and govern the people? As an official, self-cultivation and family governance of the country and the world are always better than ordinary people, right? ”

Zheng Ci has long known that Xu Jingchang is difficult to deal with, this kid has sharp teeth and a strange belly, which can often make you speechless.

But this time the matter was too out of line, he had no choice, so he could only stubbornly say: "Dingguo Gong, you are talking about the self-cultivation of hundreds of officials, you can't convict you for this, these are two different things?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Really?" Zheng Shangshu, do you mean that benevolence, righteousness and morality can be put aside first, and the government can not talk about these? ”

Zheng Ci's face was dark, Confucianism is based on benevolence and righteousness, how can he not talk about morality?

"Dingguo Gong, you are obviously messing around, it makes no sense!"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "Zheng Shangshu, what you said is wrong...... Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, Shi Ren is the first, I want to ask you, is it because the Shi people are the first, you can act recklessly? ”

"Naturally, not."

"That's right, since they can't do whatever they want, do they have to respect morality more than ordinary people? As for the officials, they are the best among the scholars, and they have to go further, right? Xu Jingchang sneered: "As an official, he should be the master of the people, but he took the lead in prostituting and bullying the people, does this count as knowing the law and breaking the law?" ”

Zheng Ci was speechless for a while, dumbfounded.

Xu Jingchang continued to pursue the victory, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, what's wrong with recognizing the sinners?" ”

Of course not!

That's a high-ranking doctor!

Even if he is guilty, he should be mitigated by one degree, how can he be aggravated?

Otherwise, where is Sven?

What is the dignity of a scholar?

This is Zheng Ci's heart, but he can't say it.

After all, with Xu Jingchang here, there will be no other end than self-inflicted humiliation...... Zheng Ci lowered his head, Guo Zi and Wu Zhong looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say anything at all.

Everyone in sight was silent, and it was time for the Son of Heaven to come to a conclusion.

Zhu Di said slowly: "I can understand...... Dingguo Gong is talking about fairness, and as a scholar, he should be more self-disciplined. As an official of the imperial court, he must be better than the common people. I think so. However, the hundred officials are my right-hand men, and it should be a little different to assist me in governing the world. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Ci and the others were overjoyed, is there still a chance?

I only heard Zhu Di continue: "However, this time the matter is special, they know the law and break the law, and it has caused the anger of the people, even if I want to spare them, it is unreasonable." According to Huang Zhixian's judgment, all of them will be decided! Since then, there have been such cases, which will be deliberated by the three legal divisions. ”

The latter sentence is clearly just a reassuring word.

Anyway, this time the person is dead, and no one can save him!

Although Zheng Ci and the others had the intention to stop it, they didn't dare to disobey Zhu Di, so they could only bow their heads again and choose to surrender.

When is this kind of unlucky day a head?

Your Majesty, you are already a mature emperor, and you can't mess around with Xu Jingchang.

Zheng Ci and the three of them had no choice but to go to Jianyi and ask Lord Tianguan for an idea.

It's just that they haven't been able to come up with anything...... A plaque written by the Son of Heaven was sent to the Shangyuan County Ya.

"The first county in the world".

Six big characters, shining.

His Majesty personally sealed it, what a decent thing this is!

Huang Xiaoru lay on the ground, kowtowed, and thanked God.

This step is really the right one.

Huang Xiaoru is really mixed.

The only pity is that none of my colleagues came to congratulate me, and I became disgusted in officialdom?

Could it be that the first step to becoming the favored minister of the Son of Heaven is to offend other officials?

Just when Huang Xiaoru was thinking wildly, suddenly gongs and drums were noisy, and firecrackers rang out.

As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of people in the distance, and a group of people is walking towards this side.

They beat gongs and drums and were beaming.

The person at the front is holding an umbrella.

Happily, he was sent to Shangyuan County.

"Lord Huang, thank you for your decision and give you an umbrella."

"The adults punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are very happy. It's comparable to Bao Longtu! ”

"That's right, the adult is the world's Bao Qingtian!"

……

Huang Xiaoru faced this situation, and his face couldn't help but turn red.

How can you be virtuous!

Compared with Bao Qingtian, the people really love it.

"Thank you, fellow villagers, the servants will do their best to be the master of the people."

Huang Xiaoru thanked the people again and again, and then accepted the Wanmin umbrella. With excitement, he returned to the yamen, only to find that there were already people waiting here above the second hall, and they were not alone.

Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Dingguo, was in the middle, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, the king of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, and the king of Zhao, Zhu Gaosui, the three princes, were impressively listed.

Huang Xiaoru was dumbfounded, hesitated a little, and was about to make a big salute, but Zhu Gaochi stopped him with a smile.

"Huang Zhixian, don't be polite."

During this period of time, Zhu Gaochi has not done anything serious, mainly according to Xu Jingchang's instructions, running to lose weight.

Not to mention, he has really lost a lot of weight.

And Zhu Da Fat is the son of Queen Xu, and his facial features are very similar to his mother...... In the past, Zhu Gaochi's appearance was covered by fat, and he looked bloated and clumsy.

But after losing weight, Zhu Gaochi turned out to be a little handsome.

Unlike Xu Jingchang's slender and handsome guy, Zhu Gaochi has a large skeleton and a burly body, even if he loses weight successfully, he has solid muscles and strong martial arts.

At first glance, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are quite similar to Zhu Di.

is worthy of being the prince, it is really majestic.

From now on, you can't call people Zhu Da Fat, you should call Zhu Da Zhuang.

The person has lost weight, and Zhu Gaochi's self-confidence has also come.

"Huang Zhixian, your case is very good and very happy. Those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, moths in the court, just can't be polite. I have a plan to put you in a bigger role. ”

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, and motioned for Zhu Gaochi to continue.

"Huang Zhixian, that's the case, I plan to recommend it to my father, and you will be responsible for building Yingtian Outer City."

Huang Xiaoru was taken aback and couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, how can such a big matter be borne by a county magistrate in Weichen?" ”

At this time, Xu Jingchang smiled faintly, "You will soon be no longer a magistrate." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded and said, "That's right, I have already recommended to my father to let you serve as the imperial historian of Zuo Yandu...... After all, this is a position recognized by Zheng Shangshu, how can I be reluctant? ”

This is interesting, Huang Xiaoru rejected Zheng Ci's imperial history, and he has to show sincerity here!

Huang Xiaoru hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Weichen thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Hong En." ”

Zhu Gaochi laughed and told him to get up.

"Huang County Order, what else do you have to explain, I and Dingguo Gong are here...... Of course, there are also King Han and King Zhao, we will figure it out. ”

Zhu Lao Er and Zhu Lao San, who were named by name, had nothing to be happy about.

Once upon a time, they were all busy with their work, and they didn't pay attention to what the boss was doing.

Until a few days ago, when the big guys boarded Fengtianmen together, Zhu Di passed by his eldest son, and suddenly found that Zhu Gaochi, who had lost weight, was the same as when he was young.

Zhu Di was greatly relieved, Zhu Gaoxu lost one of his biggest advantages, and he was much farther away from the position of prince......

Huang Xiaoru pondered again and again, "Xiaguan wants to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Dingguo Gong for help, and I plan to thoroughly investigate the slaves hidden by the wealthy families in the capital...... After all, no one in the outer city can't do it. ”
