Chapter 400: Righteousness and Righteousness

"Lord Yang, what about the next crime." Zhu Su, who had been silent, spoke. Yang Xunwen saw that Zhu Su was still encouraging, and his face was even more stunned: Unexpectedly, this Fifth Highness didn't open his mouth in person, and his first sin was refuted.

Isn't he deliberately humiliating the old man by acting like this?

God is pitiful, Zhu Su really wants to cheer up this old man. But Yang Xunwen obviously didn't think so, he quickly settled down under the feeling of being humiliated, and wrote in his heart.

The so-called "five major sins" are actually just his words in a hurry, and now the first sin has been refuted by the four highnesses, and the next few major sins still need to be carefully considered.

Soon he had an idea, and continued:

"This second major sin is called: clever words and exploitation of the people."

"When His Royal Highness was in Suzhou, in the name of 'reopening the Silk Road', he stripped grain and grass from the wealthy households in Suzhou."

"Your Majesty, the rich families in Suzhou are also the people of my Ming Dynasty, and His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness is talking in the vernacular, exploiting other people's property, which is ruining the reputation of my Ming Dynasty and digging the foundation of my Ming Dynasty!"

"The people of Suzhou originally belonged to Zhang Shicheng, and Zhang Shicheng's remnants still existed before the past, which shows that his heart is not dead! If the hearts of the people of Suzhou are lost because of this incident, Zhang Shicheng's remnants will be resurrected in the land of Susong. It must be another big trouble for my Ming Dynasty! ”

Yang Xunwen talked eloquently, and the more he talked, the more he felt that his thinking was smooth. What I hate most today is the exploitation of the people, corruption and bribery. In the first time, Hu Weiyong's party was rectified, and many of them were imprisoned with this reputation.

Now that your son has also been convicted of this crime, can you say anything about it again? If so, how can we convince the people?

This sin should have worked, right?

"Fart! Fart! ”

Yang Xunwen looked at Lao Zhu and Zhu Di and Zhu Su nervously, but unexpectedly, the father and son didn't make any moves, and among the civil officials, an angry figure appeared. This person flew up and kicked Yang Xunwen's waist and eye accurately.

Yang Xunwen was caught off guard, and with an "ah" sound, he was kicked to the ground without any official body.

I was trying to see who was so bold and daring to lose his manners, but before he could raise his head, someone rode on his back, and smashed down with an old fist on the back of his head.

"Huh? This...... Lord Ru, Lord Ru, don't do it. It was the voice of Prince Zhu Biao.

"Where is the imperial history?"

With Lao Zhu snorting, immediately after, the person on his back was pulled away. Yang Xunwen finally got up, but was surprised to find that the person who was pulled by the imperial history of the ruling palace turned out to be Ru Taisu, who had been denounced as the imperial history of the river patrol before.

"Huh? This...... Ru-sama, why is that? Yang Xunwen looked incredulous.

He has a good relationship with Ru Taisu, and Pingsu has also talked about poetry and literature, and talked about ancient and modern times, which can be regarded as like-minded. Moreover, if Ru Taisu is more serious, it can be regarded as a clear stream.

Even if you didn't have a friendship before, didn't you Ru Taisu still put it in the palace with the Fifth Highness before? Shouldn't it be in tandem with it? Why are you targeting me now?

"Your Majesty, Yang Xunwen is talking nonsense! When His Royal Highness was in Suzhou, the old minister was also on his side throughout the whole process, how could this person be allowed to accuse His Highness for trumped-up crimes? Ru Taisu, who was captured by the imperial history of the palace, was still indignant and struggling.

Although Yang Xunwen knew that Ru Taisu was as fierce as fire, he was a well-deserved pioneer among civil officials. But when this fire burned on his head, he couldn't help but feel troubled in his heart.

Zhu Su watched from the sidelines, surprised that Ru Taisu would actually jump out, but also had a bit of fun watching the big play.

I have heard that the civil officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty are full of martial virtues, but I didn't expect that in the court of Hong Wunian, you can also see sexy civil officials and real people playing this kind of drama.

Could it be this kind of thing, or is it a tradition that has been handed down since the Hongwu Dynasty?

"What the hell is going on, you say." Lao Zhu motioned to Ru Taisudao.

Ru Taisu shook off the imperial history of the rack, glared at Yang Xunwen fiercely, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Fifth Highness wants to give grain to the merchants, not only is it not exploiting, but it is punishing Xiaoxiao and cleaning up the source!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't know. The minister arrived in Suzhou before the Fifth Highness, and saw that Suzhou was full of victims, so he first collected grain and grass from the merchants of Suzhou in the name of the minister. ”

But those businessmen are pushing back, saying that there is no surplus food in the disaster year. But take out a little, and make up for it. ”

"But under the investigation of the Fifth Highness, he found that those merchants had hoarded hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass in their homes!"

"What? Several hundred thousand? The crown prince Zhu Biao was still concerned, for fear that Ru Taisu would anger Lao Zhu because of his disrespect. But when he heard this number at this time, his eyes widened in shock.

Lao Zhu already knew about this, after all, Zhu Su asked Jinyiwei to investigate at that time, so his pupils only shrank slightly.

"In the land of Susong, a year's grain endowment is only a million stones." Ru Taisu was heartbroken. "These rich businessmen and gentry are hoarding hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass without sending them, why is this?"

"It's just hoarding and harming the people!"

"Disasters are everywhere, this is a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster! If there were no people, how could Suzhou have a food shortage at that time? Ru Taisu shouted.

"The Five Highnesses handed over their grain and grass and gave it to the people, which is a great act of benevolence and righteousness! If you are an old minister, you can't wait to raise the butcher's knife and kill all such people! ”

"If Yang Xunwen wants to talk about this crime, it should be on the heads of many unrighteous businessmen and gentry! Please thoroughly investigate such those who have brought disaster to the country and the people, so as to warn future generations! "Ru Taisu is righteous and solemn!

In the hall, it was already silent at this time. Even Yang Xunwen was shocked at this time, and his face was as pale as paper.

Zhu Su stood aside, and couldn't help but smile gloatingly: Lao Ru, there is really you.

Originally, this guy should just want to fabricate some charges casually to deal with this king.

But I didn't want to, Lao Ru's words directly made this Yang Xunwen stab a hornet's nest that he would never be able to provoke.

At the top, Lao Zhu looked at Ru Taisu and Yang Xunwen below, and a smile like watching a play slowly appeared on his face.

"Yang Qing."

Yang Xunwen was covered in cold sweat, and suddenly heard the call, and couldn't help but tremble. This title is the most polite title of the emperor to himself at today's court meeting.

But at this time, Yang Xunwen felt that it was even more like falling into an ice cellar than Fang Cai.

"The minister is here."

"Ru Qing said that your crime means that the officials and gentry in Jiangnan are suspected of corruption and harm to the country."

"Do you think we should continue to investigate the crime you are talking about?"

"......" Yang Xunwen trembled, but he couldn't make even a trace of sound.
