Chapter 487: The Monarch and the Ministers Contradict Each Other

No one expected that the Chinese New Year's Eve of Yuan Yu's ten years would be so exciting.

For the first time, the emperor showed his true hole cards in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

When the more than 10,000 people roared to rush into the palace to protect their emperor, the officials on the tower were shocked, frightened, and incomprehensible.

Perhaps when they were serving as parents and officials in a certain place, they were sent by the people for ten miles when they left office, and they received one or two "Wanmin umbrellas".

But compared to the scene of the emperor's army standing up in response, theirs was not worth mentioning at all.

When did the Son of Heaven have such popular support?

The ministers didn't understand it and were not used to it.

The Son of Heaven ruled with a bow, and sent hundreds of officials to herdify the people. The emperor should be mysterious and high, how can he easily let the people see the face of the sky, and still be so ......

The palace gate slowly opened, and under the escort of the Han general, the emperor walked out of the Forbidden City and came to the people despite the obstruction of his ministers.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Jia Cong arrived at the Great Xia Gate, he happened to see a scene that shocked him.

The Emperor of Great Xia stood on the Jinshui Bridge with his back to the Forbidden City and the civil and military officials.

In front of him were the people who couldn't see the end at a glance, just like rows of kneeling down, and the sound of long live was endless, shaking the heavens and the earth!

There were only more than twenty Han generals on the left and right of the emperor, and the emperor in a red dragon robe became the most revered immortal god in the capital on Chinese New Year's Eve.

There was no imaginary chaotic assassination, and those courtiers who persuaded the emperor on the grounds that the gentleman did not stand under the dangerous wall shut up one after another.

It was a scene they couldn't comprehend, why would the Emperor risk being assassinated to get up close and personal with those mud legs?

Jia Cong stood silently behind the Jinshui Bridge, and was close to the emperor's left.

Others may not understand, but Jia Cong knows very well that the emperor's move is not a risk.

Compared with the people in front of him who can't see their heads, among the civil and military officials behind him, many of them may not be trusted by the emperor.

"Flat!"

"Your Majesty has a will, flat!"

The generals of the Han Dynasty conveyed the emperor's will in unison, and the crowd stood up like waves, their fanatical eyes gathered on the crimson figure by the Jinshui Bridge.

The emperor suddenly turned around and smiled at the hundred officials who had already gathered at the gate of the Great Xia Gate.

"Zhuqing, do you see it?"

The emperor pointed to the crowd behind him in a fan-shaped arch behind him, and said proudly: "This is my confidence, and it is the source of my strength. With them, I will not succumb to any threat, and I will have the confidence to do what the emperors of the past have not dared to do. For example......"

"My people, my sons, I want to reform the official system, implement new laws, and strengthen the country and enrich the people...... But some people don't want to, they think that I have taken away their power and interests by doing this, and they even colluded with the Japanese and sent thieves into the palace tonight to kill me, and even bewitched the forbidden army to march and advise them......"

"The sword mountain and the sea of fire, there are many disasters, but the new law cannot be stopped!"

"There are people in the royal family, civil and military officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen who oppose my national policy, and even want to do misdeeds to force me to give up the new law."

"I don't want to, are you willing?"

Knock knock~

Standing at the front of the crowd was an old man with gray hair and a thin face, holding a wooden cane.

He tapped the bluestone slab under his feet with his wooden staff, and the sound of thump was loud in the quiet environment.

"Your Majesty, the grass people don't want either!"

"The grass people don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

With the old man's words, the crowd boiled again. Even if the people behind couldn't hear what the emperor said at all, but under the word of mouth, everyone was struggling to shout two words, unwilling!

What don't you want?

Cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of those officials who openly and secretly opposed the new French policy.

Is this public opinion? Real public opinion!

The people, all the people in the world, and the doctors of the non-scholars!

At this time, Jia Cong had already figured out the emperor's thoughts, and this master actually had the means of a certain failed art student in his previous life......

"Come on, bring those rebels and thieves who don't know what loyalty is!"

The Han general dragged more than 20 people to the front of the palace, and under the bright torches around them, these 20 people were completely exposed in front of people.

"It is they who are colluding and conspiring to commit usurpation. Everyone said, what should I do? ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

"Okay, then kill!"

The emperor complied with the will of the people, and the earth-shattering sound of killing resounded in the sky, even if he knew that the crimes of some of these people were not to the extent of being beheaded, but at this time, none of the civil and military officials dared to step forward to stop it.

Just kidding, the black in front of him oppressed more than 10,000 people, just like an angry tiger, staring at the twenty or so people.

Perhaps if anyone dares to stand up and plead for mercy, he will be regarded as a traitor and villain by the people, and will be completely nailed to the pillar of shame from then on.

The emperor really wanted to cut down all these people once and for all, and almost no one among the officials dared to come forward to persuade them.

Only Hai Gangfeng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, opened his mouth and said that he would be sentenced to death without the trial of the three divisions, which was not in accordance with the rules. But the old man's voice was quickly silenced by the shouts of the people.

Just as General Dahan was about to be executed, Jia Cong had to stand up.

He walked to the open space between the emperor and the people, and bowed down to the emperor: "Please think twice, Your Majesty, this case has not been interrogated by the department to sentence people to death, which is not in line with the rules of the dynasty!" ”

"Jia Cong, you are presumptuous!"

"Non-ministers are presumptuous, Your Majesty still remembers that the ministers said a few years ago that there are laws to follow, laws must be followed, law enforcement must be strict, and violations must be investigated!"

The emperor didn't expect that his plan was about to be successfully completed, but he was stopped by his favorite general.

He was really angry, not only because Jia Cong stopped the execution, but also because he was worried that Jia Cong had disobeyed the will of the people and would be spurned by the people in the capital.

Public opinion is like a knife, and a double-edged knife.

It's easy to use, but it's also dangerous enough to hurt yourself.

The crowd that was originally shouting and cheering slowly subsided, and the emperor glanced around, and his hanging heart was relieved a lot.

Fortunately, the eyes of the people looking at Jia Cong were not disgusted, but more just puzzled and confused.

"Why does Master Hou want to speak for this group of rebellious ministers and thieves?"

An old man's voice came from behind him, and Jia Cong turned around to see that it was the old man holding a wooden cane.

When Jia Cong saw the emperor nodding, he clenched his fists and explained: "The state has national laws, and the clan has its own rules. Uncle, are these people guilty? What are the sins? How should the punishment be determined? Should it be done by national law? ”

The state has national laws, and the clan has its own rules, these eight words can be said to be the most simple values of the common people.

The old man couldn't refute Jia Cong's words, but after glancing at the civil and military officials who couldn't see their faces clearly in the distance, he muttered, "This ...... Can...... Officials and officials ...... each other"

"I see......"

Jia Cong smiled, turned around and bowed to the emperor, and bowed to the figure of the Daoming yellow dragon robe on the city tower, and then smiled with the old man and said: "Officials and officials protect each other, it also depends on who this official is?" With the presence of saints and His Majesty, who dares to protect each other? If my husband still can't believe it, I'll tell my husband a personal ...... Haigang Peak Hai Qingtian, do you always think that letting Hai Qingtian preside over this case can you still trust? ”

Yes?

Hai Gangfeng didn't expect Jia Cong to suddenly mention him, and the people who heard Jia Cong's words clearly began to talk about it, and soon gathered into one meaning.

"Master Haiqingtianhai, they can be trusted!"

Jia Cong secretly said that he really has to be the number one troll in the country to win the hearts of the people, and it is estimated that if he changes people, he will have to wash the ground with blood on the side of the Jinshui Bridge tonight.

He was about to turn around and talk to the emperor, but he heard the old man suddenly say something again.

"But can Hai Qingtian alone beat those corrupt officials? The old man thinks that there are three gangs of a hero, and Lord Yu Mao and Bao Er Ye will go together to assist Hai Qingtian, so it is best to ......"

"Yes, yes, Master Hai is Qingtian, Lord Yumao is also Qingtian, and the second master of Rongguo Mansion, he is also a sincere gentleman, we can trust it!"

There are people in the crowd who constantly recommend what he thinks is the great master of the blue sky, among which Haigang Feng ranks first, followed by the royal cat Jia Cong, and even the name of the second master of Bao who often scolds the sky and the air in the newspaper has been shouted out by many people.

The number of people who support Baoyu even exceeds that of Liu Ke and Jia Yu, the two old men in the capital.

Although the emperor failed to take the opportunity to do it once and for all, he also figured out Jia Cong's purpose for standing up to stop him after calming down.

It's so dangerous, it almost caused a catastrophe~

If the judiciary is coerced by "public opinion", then there will be endless troubles.

After all, what people hear and see is often not necessarily true.

Today it is he, the emperor, who is mobilizing public opinion, so what about someone else who will also mobilize public opinion tomorrow?

"So ......"

The emperor waved his hand to stop the crowd's shouting and recommendation, and after calming down, he preached: "Hai Gangfeng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is the chief judge, Jia Cong, the Marquis of Yongfeng, and Jia Jue, the edict of Hanlin, is the deputy judge, and has full authority to handle this case. The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple fully assisted, and the case was tried publicly, and my people could observe the trial and supervise, if there was any disagreement, beat the drum and inform me, and I would personally intervene......"

"Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

……

A fireworks show allowed civil and military officials to see the emperor's status in the hearts of the people.

The Zhengdan Dynasty of the eleventh year of Yuan Yu became boring and boring because of the "wonderful" of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Those who still want to coerce the "public opinion" and join hands in the Zhengdan Dynasty to force the emperor to stop reforming the official system do not dare to say anything about the public opinion in front of the emperor.

In the entire Great Xia, who can compare to the strength of the people's hearts possessed by the emperor?

Just like last night, maybe the emperor only needs to point at them and tell those people that they are rebellious ministers and thieves, and those crazy and angry people will beat them to death on the spot.

It's horrible!

Baoyu, who was originally "firing cannons and spraying people" on the Zhengdan Dynasty, looked around left and right and failed to find an opponent.

The people who were set before had either been arrested and sent to prison, or at this time, they were like quails, shrinking their necks and not daring to squeak, which made Baoyu feel uncomfortable holding his chest in one breath.

Fortunately, he was appointed by the emperor as the deputy judge, and when he came to the next court, he went to find Master Hai and discussed with Master Hai how to try the case, and then he would have a good discussion with that group of national thieves and beetles about what is a loyal minister!

……

Jia Cong yawned and followed Dai Quan to the Dragon Head Palace.

Last night's turmoil caused very little damage to the Dragon Head Palace, and from Dai Quan's mouth, Jia Cong learned about the last situation in the palace last night.

Zhongcui Palace was destroyed, Fengzao Palace was burned in half, and Yuanchun's mother and son temporarily lived in the Yikun Palace of the Imperial Concubine Niangniang.

The Forbidden City killed a total of 127 thieves last night, including 46 thieves in black, and the rest were all female officials who colluded with them......

The corners of Jia Cong's mouth twitched, he believed half a word at most.

It seems that a lot of the people placed in the palace have been removed, but I don't know if the emperor has been implicated, and their Jia family also has a lot of secrets in the palace.

But I think with the wisdom of the emperor, I understand that the shadows placed in the light are good shadows, as long as they don't have different intentions, these people's lives are still safe.

The Dragon Head Palace is still the Dragon Head Palace, and the maiden who was originally hanging on the tree has disappeared.

"Reita...... Shimazu Kumi has already pulled out the transformation field, and the sage said that since she is useless, there is no need to stay. ”

Is Kumi Shimazu pretty? Pretty!

But for the emperor, does it matter to have a good-looking skin? It's just a woman, who dares to touch the attention of his good grandson, and Luo Shen has to go to the human field when he is alive.

Jia Cong nodded and said nothing, and followed Dai Quan all the way to the Imperial Palace.

It is still the saint and the emperor, needless to say, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is persecuted has been pulled out again, and he should preside over the royal sacrifice in the Taimiao at this time.

"Thanks to you last night, I almost made a big mistake!"

Before Jia Cong could pay his respects, he heard the emperor speak first.

The old man pouted: "Isn't it very good?" With a wave of his hand, it is a great wall of flesh and blood! ”

Well, the old man of the sage has eaten lemons, and Jia Cong still thinks that it is better for him to pretend to be dumb.

It's a pity that the second saint called him over for something important, and it is impossible for him to really be dumb.

The emperor was not annoyed by his father's sourness, he changed the topic and got down to business.

"Last night's case, although you were only a deputy judge, this case mainly depends on you, what I need you to do, you should know ......"

Jia Cong hurriedly shook his head: "No, the minister doesn't know, and the minister doesn't want to be clear!" ”

This is the one thing Jia Cong worries the most, and it is also the biggest disagreement between him and the emperor.

Monarchy, do you want to limit it?

At least at the judicial level, there must be certain restrictions, otherwise it will be terrible!

The emperor's face turned cold, this is the second time Jia Cong has said no words to him since last night.

Scold~

The old man snickered on the side, at this point, he was on Jia Cong's side.

The fourth child's heart is too anxious, and it's good for someone to scold him.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Jia Cong had no choice but to bow down and say, "Your Majesty, among the more than 20 people, how many of them deserve death?" And how many people have sinned and not died? The Dragon Guards arrested more than a dozen people today, did they really participate in the collusion and collusion, and participated in last night's rebellion? ”

In fact, many people in the court saw that the emperor was deliberately "Zhulian", and he wanted to use this to completely eradicate those who opposed the new law, even if he was put on the hat of a murderous king.

This is a sage who wants to do practical things, but Jia Cong does not believe that some innocent lives must be sacrificed in order to complete the implementation of the new law.

"The minister thinks that black is black, white is white, and even innocent people today will only make it difficult for the legal system of the country to be carried out. Your Majesty is a once-in-a-millennium saint and should not be infamous for this...... Moreover, according to His Majesty's intentions, the case was hastily closed and these people were cut off, wouldn't it be a bad start for the kings of future generations? Fazu, this is an old tradition of our Han people! ”

That's all for tonight, continue tomorrow, good night!
