Chapter 60, I don't care!
The departure of Mao Cheng and the others did not affect the subsequent debates on one topic after another, and His Majesty always listened quietly to the courtiers' disputes, and no longer made any decisions on the spot.
This is a rhythm that everyone is familiar with, and Jiuqing is not dissatisfied: looking at the performance of the Son of Heaven today, will he listen to the advice of the cabinet in everything?
The atmosphere inside and outside the West Corner Gate became more and more harmonious, and the Son of Heaven seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and sometimes said a few witty words, which amused the ministers with joy.
Prince Liang couldn't help but think of the joke in the palace about "borrowing five hundred taels of silver", and the old Long Zhong's face was full of incredulity looking at this young man.
No one of the important ministers has really forgotten what happened before at this time.
But this fifteen-year-old Son of Heaven is like these old foxes in the court under his throne, as if the previous things have long passed.
Fifteen years old...... Liang Chu remembered his youth.
At that time, if anyone annoyed themselves, it couldn't be said for too long, and it was at least a half-day hatred, right?
But His Majesty is now like a simple boy who is thirsty for knowledge, watching the courtiers express their opinions.
Liang Chuxin's hair: He is studying!
Does he feel like he is not sophisticated enough?
In today's battle, His Majesty first checked the accounts with great fanfare, and then endured opposition and insults, and did not really start a fire immediately.
Wei Bin and Gu Dayong did not enter the pot thoroughly, and Mao Cheng did not enter the pot completely in the end, all of them became cards played in the process.
But Wei Bin's oil was boiled out, and His Majesty had a "secret vault" with an unknown number of facts, and he had financial power in his hands that could not be underestimated.
Although Mao Cheng didn't enter the pot, the hair had faded clean.
Yuan Zonggao was promoted twice in two days, and he became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites so smoothly.
The other ministers from the dragon were each given real positions, and His Majesty's holy tribunal exercised a number of important personnel appointment and dismissal powers.
Zhang Yong is still there, and the changes brought about by the re-establishment of the three major battalions also clearly point to military power.
Liang Chu suddenly felt that he really should say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, because the court during the Jiajing period that will start next year must not be easy to mix!
And at this time, Mao Cheng and the others who were escorted out should be about to go to the prison of the Criminal Department, right?
……
Mao Cheng had already arrived in the prison, and he had always endured Jiang Bin, who was very crazy in the distance.
He was in no mood to confront Jiang Bin, his contempt for Jiang Bin was ingrained from the bottom of his heart, although he was now also a prisoner.
But in Mao Cheng's heart, he was right.
They have all ascended the throne, a fait accompli is a fait accompli, will they not admit it?
But why do you bother me with this Ministry of Rites? Why bother to cause trouble so quickly regardless of the fact that the country has not heard of it?
In his eyes, Zhu Houxi is too eager to grasp power, and he has always used the topic to play!
Is the support of the courtiers so worthless?
Remembering that he heard a chorus of Shengming near Zuo Shunmen before, Mao Cheng's teeth were about to crush.
Punish someone as a warning to others? Hit first and then pull?
He knew that he had fallen victim to it, so he was especially unwilling.
Now listening to Jiang Bin chattering in the distance, listening to the faint sobs of some people in the cell next to him, he roared angrily: "What are you crying about? The emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong, and there will be a judgment in history! Today is the Day of the Dead! ”
"Just thinking of the old mother, because she can't fulfill her filial piety and is miserable......"
Excuses are easy to find, who doesn't have old people and children at home?
So now more people are relieved to cry boldly, crying extremely aggrieved.
Jiang Bin looked at them from afar, he was tightly bound by iron chains, and he smiled so happily, but unfortunately there was no wine.
As a result, it didn't take long for a palace eunuch to come and announce the decree.
Mao Cheng was looking forward to it.
He did not expect to be pardoned, but to be killed by divine decree.
has reached this point, and being given death is the best ending for him Mao Cheng.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: I am a first-class treasure, and I don't want to make a big move. Today, Mao Cheng and other twenty-one people do not want to be loyal to the monarch first, and they are arrogant and insulting the monarch last. The sin of disloyalty and disrespect is unforgivable. ”
Hearing this, Mao Cheng's face suddenly turned pale.
“…… I once admired Mao Cheng's royal paperweight in the Xingwang Mansion, hoping that he would be the court's rules with the respect of the great uncle. I didn't mean that Mao Cheng ignored the grace of the saint, forgot the position of the monarch and minister, did not remember the emperor's brother's respect for the matter in the first place, and did not have the filial piety of the whole monarch in the back, and I was extremely disappointed. ”
"However, I am not a lord who cannot be persuaded or admonished. The sin of infidelity can still be forgiven, but what is the disrespect of disrespect? Although Mao Cheng and the other twenty-one people are disloyal and disrespectful, I can still forgive them. I hope that he will know etiquette and abide by the law in the future, and be a good citizen for a long time. ”
"I am faint or virtuous, not because of two or three foolish and pedantic people can judge. I have Kyushu Wanfang in my heart, and hundreds of millions of subjects of the Ming Dynasty! A hundred years later, the history is brilliant, and my merits have been commented on by future generations. ”
"You will also witness the re-blooming of my Ming Dynasty, or a lifelong resentment, or a repentance. It doesn't matter if you write a book or talk about it in private, you can praise and discuss, I don't care! ”
"Chin this!"
He looked at the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu who was welcoming the new monarch at that time, holding this kind of edict for the ministers in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mao Cheng, do you understand?" Take the word of thanks. ”
Jiang Bin, who was in the distance, understood, his arm couldn't move, but his bloody palm slapped his body up and down, and he couldn't breathe with laughter: "Disloyal and disrespectful!" Hahahaha...... The thief is actually a great uncle, and even you, the thief, have forgiven you......"
He smiled and laughed but shed tears.
If you forgive Mao Cheng and others, it is impossible to spare yourself again.
The dignified ceremonial department is still the book, the commander of the 12th regiment battalion, and the Pingyubo, what is it in the struggle between the Son of Heaven and the important ministers because of the great power?
The emperor killed chickens and monkeys, and Yang Tinghe should have surrendered to defeat in order to intercede to save the lives of these people.
This is the benefit of being taught by the "saints" together, being born on the right path of the imperial examination, and being a civil servant together.
And what about yourself? But will anyone intercede for him?
Jiang Bin remembered Jiang Bin, his in-law who told him that he was okay and entered the palace to guard the capital to welcome the new monarch, remembered Qian Ning, the "righteous brother" who was imprisoned and raided his home one step earlier, and Wang Qiong, who was close to his people but could not protect himself.
The new monarch ascends to the pole, how can there be no sacrifices?
With Mao Cheng's appearance, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, who were originally Yang Tinghe's might, are good people, so naturally they can only be dedicated to the might of the Son of Heaven.
Jiang Bin didn't expect the emperor to spare his life and use it to restrain Yang Ting and them.
No need...... As soon as Mao Cheng entered and exited the prison, Jiang Bin had already felt the emperor's majesty.
But the ignorant people in this world are still waiting for a good show of traitors conferring heads, clapping their hands at the bloody execution table!
In the midst of Jiang Bin's tears, Mao Cheng shouted in humiliation and despair: "Faint king! How can I accept this insult of disloyalty and disrespect? ”
Zhang Jin sighed, but raised the holy decree: "Those who receive the decree of thanksgiving, you can go home." ”
“…… Grass people thank His Majesty Longen. ”
After all, there are people who don't have as many scruples as Mao Cheng, and they just want to leave this place full of madness and gloom as soon as possible.
Zhang Jin bent down again and said to Mao Cheng: "Mao Cheng, Yang Ge Lao has asked for the grace that he has asked for so hard, why don't you appreciate it?" It's useless for you to lie here, it's just an edict, and if you hear it, it won't change anything whether you receive the edict or not. Your Majesty is lenient and benevolent, and if you say that if you don't kill, you don't kill people. It's better to leave a decent point, it's not good to let the Criminal Department escort you back to the house, right? His Majesty's three-year reward has to go back to the mansion to receive it, and it should be delivered to the door of the mansion soon. ”
