Chapter 365: Confrontation in the Court! The family is poor and dagger!
Under Zhu Gaoxian's order, Jinyiwei has begun to investigate the people behind this Confucian trouble.
After hearing Zhu Gaoxian's inquiry, Shen Qingyu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told all the news he had discovered.
"Back to His Royal Highness, although these generals gritted their teeth and did not speak, they investigated in many ways and retrieved information, and they still found their respective heels."
"There are also those Confucian scholars, some of whom have also been found out about their backgrounds."
"Therefore, he sent more people to these people's houses to spy on them, and finally found some clues."
Zhu Gaoxian nodded, if Jin Yiwei couldn't even do this, then he really had to consider replacing someone to rebuild.
"Tell me, what are the famous characters?"
Shen Qingyu said in a low voice:
"According to the investigation of the lowly position, it seems that the court is headed by Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment are also involved, but the two adults have not participated in the planning, but the officials of these two departments have frequently entered and exited Wang Shangshu's mansion in the past few days......"
Zhu Gaoxian sneered, the officials?
"Heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, such a big official position, he is not good at serving the court, but he has to make wind and rain, thinking about this pickled thing all day long!"
"There are also the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, those two old things, they want benefits, and they don't dare to show their heads and be greedy for life and fear of death, thinking that if they send their subordinates to plan, they won't be able to pursue them in the future?"
"It's ridiculous!"
He looked at Shen Qingyu under the hall and asked slowly:
"What about the Kong family? What has this Yan Shenggong in the north done recently? β
"His Confucian family is known as the Confucianism of the world, so he won't hide at home as a turtle with a shrunken head, right?"
Shen Qingyu listened to Zhu Gaoxian's words, didn't dare to raise his head, and replied in a low voice:
"Yan Shenggong didn't go out, just stayed in the house, but according to the spies planted in his house, the lights of the Confucian Mansion have been constantly lit at night these days, and it seems that many people have gathered very late."
"Huh." Zhu Gaoxian smiled noncommittally, knowing that the Kong family couldn't sit still.
After all, if he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, sooner or later the Ming Dynasty will have to sweep away these crooked melons, cracked dates and weeds and small trees, so as to maintain the rising momentum of the Ming Dynasty and not be held back in the Age of Discovery.
Presumably, these big families should also have smart people who saw this, so they tried every possible way to teach him a lesson, so that he could tie his hands and feet and make it difficult for him to act.
As everyone knows, he wishes that all these people would jump out and die!
Even if he encounters those old guys who like to hide behind and plot conspiracies, Zhu Gaoxian is not afraid at all.
Now he has the orthodox title of the crown prince, the support of the 300,000 troops in the northeast, and Yang Rong, the first assistant of the cabinet, in the middle of the court, and the elite force of Jinyiwei at hand, he is not afraid!
What's more, the Academy of Literature, as the official school of the Ming Dynasty that he created originally, is constantly cultivating reliable and capable poor children for him.
When these children of the poor family go to all parts of Daming one after another and begin to shine for Daming, what are these big families?
Sooner or later, they all have to honestly bow their heads to him Zhu Gaoxian and be a dog for Daming!
This is a righteous conspiracy! Suppress people with dignity and integrity!
It is estimated that those big families also saw this, so they desperately wanted to destroy all this.
instructed the Confucian scholars to storm the Academy of Literature and attack Xia Yuanji, most likely to teach him a lesson as a prince.
Hehe, it's just a dying struggle.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian smiled faintly, got up and came to Shen Qingyu, and said slowly:
"Qingyu, you did a good job, Lone is very satisfied, and when this matter is over, you will have your own reward."
After Shen Qingyu was pleasantly surprised, Zhu Gaoxian said in a deep voice:
"Next, you keep a close eye on these people's mansions for me, and report all their movements."
"Also, those generals of the guard don't have to bother with interrogation."
He patted Shen Qingyu on the shoulder, and there was no smile on his face:
"At the beginning, it was Lone who transferred them from the three major camps, and the food and salary were all very generous, in order to hope that they could guard the Academy of Literature for Lonely."
"The result? The Academy of Literature was impacted, and Xia Laoshangshu was injured. β
"Since they have failed Lone's heart, there is no need to live in this world anymore."
"Do you understand?"
Shen Qingyu did not hesitate at all, and said loudly:
"Ignorance, understood!"
"I will do what His Highness wants!"
"It must be done properly!"
Zhu Gaoxian smiled, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and muttered to himself:
"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings......"
β¦β¦
A few days later, above the court.
Now Zhu Di has been in a coma for many days, although Zhu Gaoxian hurried back and administered acupuncture and medicine to the old man, but it was to no avail, seeing that the old man was drowsy, time was running out.
Therefore, today's court meeting has been dominated by Zhu Gaoxian to deal with the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
And in today's court, there is obviously a heavy atmosphere, which makes many ministers can't help but shrink their necks.
"What is the opinion of the Criminal Department about the incident of someone storming the Academy of Literature and causing Xia Laoshangshu to be injured?"
"What are you going to do?"
After dealing with several political affairs, Zhu Gaoxian suddenly asked Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and his tone was very indifferent.
Shangshu of the Criminal Department was stunned for a moment, and he sighed in his heart, what does the prince mean by asking like this?
Although he has not participated in the conspiracy in the past few days, judging from the return of his subordinates, the various families have agreed with the Yan Sheng Gong to prepare to attack the crown prince at today's court meeting.
But why did Zhu Gaoxian ask him first?
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department hesitated for a while, then quietly looked around, and after getting a response, he came out and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister is also trying to inquire about this."
"Oh?"
Zhu Gaoxian gently tapped the armrest of the chair with his hand, and looked at him with playful eyes:
"What is Zhou Qing trying to ask?"
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department said with a righteous face:
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, you let many Confucian students be imprisoned, and you ordered Jinyiwei to take over the inquiry, completely excluding the officials of the Criminal Department, I don't know what this means?"
"According to the Ming law, scholars are not allowed to be taken into custody without reason, nor can they be tortured at will."
"If there is a person involved in the crime, a decision must be made by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate after trial."
There seemed to be a strong incomprehension and confusion in his tone:
"I don't know His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he arbitrarily let Jinyiwei meddle in this matter?"
"Could it be that he is dissatisfied with the work of the Criminal Department? Or is he dissatisfied with the world's scholars? β
"Or do you want to bend into a trick?"
Show oneβs true colors in the end!
At this moment, the civil official group showed its sharp teeth to Zhu Gaoxian, the prince of the Ming Dynasty!
