Xia Yuan pointed in the direction he came from with a horsewhip, "The official is over there, I heard you and others shouting that the ancestors of Emperor Taizu Gao have become the law, and the Emperor Taizu Gao has created this brilliant Ming Dynasty, and set up all kinds of holy precepts, how can the ancestors become the law than you said?" ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao once had a holy decree: all the pros and cons in the country are not allowed to be advised. All the pros and cons of the state, there are divisions, talents in the field, ambitious heroes, simple farmers, and businessmen's skills can be spoken, but the students are not allowed, and those who dare to violate will be punished! ”

This is the ancestral law established by Zhu Yuanzhang, a rule specially set for scholars all over the world, in the final analysis, it is a sentence, anyone in the world can talk about national politics and state affairs.

Even if it is a farmer in the field, a beggar on the side of the road can talk to others, and they can be humble and dare not forget the country.

But only the reader is not allowed to talk about it.

Zhu Yuanzhang just decided that a scholar should do what a scholar should do, concentrate on reading with a book, talk about state affairs, talk about political affairs, and wait for the punishment of crimes.

But in this world, only people who are keen to talk about these things, and after reading a few books, they feel that they know everything.

Such people have existed since ancient times.

So much so that no one dared to touch this rule during the Hongwu period, but after Zhu Yuanzhang died, he was thrown aside.

It is not permissible to get together at every turn to talk about state affairs and talk about state affairs, and no one mentions what kind of ancestral law this is.

How shameless it is, the ancestral law that is beneficial to them is not allowed to be changed, even if there is a sign of this, but if it is not good for them, then put it aside, and the right should not exist.

And sitting together and talking loudly, boasting about state affairs, turning a blind eye to it, it will pass, but gathering together to ask His Majesty to see it is really too blatant.

In fact, this is the reason why the situation is so big that I don't see those officials come to intervene.

Xia Yuan is still self-aware, and in the court, he has offended many people, big or small.

Catching up with such a scholar to engage in sports, to criticize him as a national thief, think about it with your heels, you know that this is a good opportunity to play on the topic, but no one comes to mix, it is purely the existence of such an ancestral law.

These scholars came to ask His Majesty to see him, and one of them had to be brought to justice, and they came over to get involved, that is, they got into trouble.

After being silent for a long time, a scholar stubbornly spoke: "But what we are talking about is not state affairs, but worrying about my country."

"Oh" Xia Yuan didn't bother to argue with him, but let out a faint sigh, and then said: "When you get to the prison of the Criminal Department, you will say this to the officials of the Criminal Department." ”

“.”

The man's face froze, he hung his head and said no more, and the rest of the people were all ashen.

At this time, Zhang Ming came over and lowered his voice and said, "Lord Xia, do you mean to put these people in the prison of the Criminal Department?" ”

Xia Yuan asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Lord Zhang means to be imprisoned?" ”

“.” Zhang Ming really thinks like this, the edict prison belongs to the territory of Jinyiwei, Jin Wuwei and Jinyiwei both belong to the army of the Son of Heaven, and they don't need to go through the formalities when they are locked in, they go through the process, and the follow-up trial and conviction can also be inquired from time to time, and even intervene.

But if he is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, then this matter has nothing to do with him.

But listening to this rhetorical question, no matter how sluggish he was, he could feel the consternation inside.

So he asked: "If you are imprisoned, Lord Xia thinks there is something inappropriate?" ”

Xia Yuan's brows furrowed, is this an inappropriate question?

This guy lacks a heart, right?

These scholars are guilty of the laws of their ancestors and the laws of the imperial court, and they can completely go through the criminal department and other legal departments to let those officials try and convict and go through the regular process.

But if you want to use the edict and the private prison of the Son of Heaven, what does this guy think?

Want to pour dirty water on Emperor Hongji?

Tell the people of the world that these people did not make mistakes, it was he, a national thief, who covered the sky with one hand, and was deeply favored by the emperor, and the monarch's father was furious, but he could not punish these people, so he could only put this group of scholars into the prison.

Xia Yuan smacked his lips, no wonder these martial artists were reduced to the point of being suppressed in the Ming Dynasty, they really lacked heart.

Even if this is still the son of the prince of the country, he lacks his heart and eyes to this extent, and other martial artists really can't think of it.

"If Master Zhang doesn't want to make the merit a mistake, then listen to it and put these people in the prison of the Criminal Department."

Hearing this, Zhang Ming's expression was awe-inspiring, although he still hadn't figured out the joints, and he didn't understand how he could make a mistake, but he still clenched his fists and said: "Lord Xie Xia solves his doubts, and he will put these crazy people in the prison of the Criminal Department." ”

"Then I'll bother Master Zhang."

"Where the duty is, how dare you say the word "tired?"

Zhang Ming's expression was straight, and he immediately waved his hand, "Come on, take down these bold fanatics who gathered to make trouble and violated the laws of the imperial court, and handed them over to the Criminal Department for questioning!" ”

At the sound of an order, thousands of Jin Wuwei moved again, and began to surround these hundreds of scholars, this time no one shouted about any innocence, what Taizu Gao Emperor ancestor Cheng Fa and the like.

Emperor Taizu Gao abandoned them.

I had to tie my hands with a disillusioned expression, and at the same time I felt remorseful, I was inexplicably a little happy in my heart, at least I went to the prison of the Criminal Department for a while, not the edict.

I heard that the Imperial Prison is not a place for people to stay, and compared with the Imperial Prison, the prison of the Criminal Department is simply to heaven.

The prison of the Criminal Department is good, and the officials of the Criminal Department are all scholars, and for the sake of their courage and admonition for the country, they must be courteous.

Jinyiwei's gang of Qiu Ba will not understand their ethics of serving the country and the people.

Those Qiu Ba know something.

If Xia Yuan knew what they thought, he would have scoffed at him and replied, thinking too much.

Those officials of the Criminal Department will definitely go to the Emperor to ask for a meeting with the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the three divisions of Dali Temple, and punish them severely, so as to clear up the relationship with these scholars.

Things have come to this point, it seems that they are attacking him as a national thief, but these scholars are saying that this new policy is arbitrarily changing the laws of the ancestors, which is equivalent to saying that the spearhead is directly aimed at the emperor on the dragon throne of Nadan, who dares to say that there must be no one behind him.

Even if Emperor Hongzhi had a certain heart and was sure that there was a premeditated plan behind this, and someone instructed him, he could have set off a huge turmoil inside and outside the government and the opposition on this matter.

Thinking about it like this, Xia Yuan's eyes lit up, and he felt that the time had come to change the law, first let Emperor Hongzhi set off a storm on this matter, and then everyone in the court would take care of themselves, and then take the opportunity to implement the apportionment into the mu.

At this moment, an old eunuch walked out of the city gate, Xiao looked at Xia Yuan on the horse with a respectful face, and an old face with a bright smile, "Master Xia, the emperor has summoned you to the palace to meet you." ”

Xia Yuan also smiled, "I also have something to meet Your Majesty." ”
