"The verification of the correct body is the infallibility of Hu Tianci, a death row prisoner awaiting execution." After the old secretary office of the Criminal Department Zhaomo confirmed that it was correct, and after signing and postponing, Zhaomo sang loudly and signed his name.

"......" Zhao Zhu and the overseer's imperial history both breathed a sigh of relief, there were no branches in this pass, and it was logical later.

A principal presented a guilty card, and Zhao Butang personally wrote it.

That Hu Gongzi was heartbroken like a suicide pig: "I'm true, you are mistaken, go and tell my father, his son is going to die!" ”

"Shut him up." That Yushi said in a deep voice.

Then an errand grabbed a handful of straw from the ground and stuffed it into Hu Gongzi's mouth, and he could only whine......

Zhao Butang frowned slightly, wondering how this fool was not stupid?

But he didn't stop it, it was all on the bone, and many people would die at this juncture. The first to bear the brunt is his whole family...... It must be that more is better than less.

So Zhao Butang didn't think much about it, and after brushing and writing the guilty card, he turned around and left the prison.

didn't even look at the desperate Hu Gongzi again.

~~

In the early dynasty, Zhao Zhu went out to report to the emperor.

"Qin prisoner Hu Tianci is scheduled to be executed today!"

As soon as these words came out, the officials couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Hu Cheng one after another, only to see that his face was pale, holding a bamboo cane, and he didn't move at all.

Alas, the matter of the Hongwu Dynasty is really outrageous.

There are dog legs...... Oh no, the official came out of class and admonished:

"Your Majesty, the prime minister is in the court, and his son is executed, where does the body exist? Where does the national system exist? The minister bowed down to the emperor, thinking that Hu Xiang had worked all his life for the country and made great contributions to the society, and he would be merciful outside the law, and forgive his son's sins! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Jun Zize was descended. Although Hu Xiang did not avoid death, his merits were not inferior to those of the princes. He is an old man, and he has only one son under his knees, how can the emperor bear to look at the heroes and heroines? Please ask the emperor to be gracious and leave a queen for Hu Xiang......"

"Please leave a queen for Hu Xiang......"

"Let's stay later......" The ministers came out of class one after another to kneel down.

"Damn, it's like we can give Hu Xiang a child......" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these civil and military officers who were becoming more and more skilled in forcing the palace with an expressionless face, and scolded angrily, and the prince with a straight face on the side couldn't help but snort.

He's professionally trained, but he can't help it.

The ministers also looked at each other, the atmosphere was quite tragic, and it didn't taste right for the emperor to do this.

"Hu Weiyong, everyone pleads for you, we think what they said is not unreasonable." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the haggard Hu Weiyong again, and said in a slow tone: "What do you think, if you also beg us to let your little beast go, we won't think about it." ”

"The emperor is merciful...... all the civil and military officers were overjoyed, and they all looked at Hu Weiyong. In fact, they don't have much hope, Boss Zhu wants to kill someone, can they ask for it?

Their coy attitude is more for Hu Weiyong to see. This kind of behavior of interceding for the boss can be a big score.

Who would have thought that there was a door, and the sun of Jinnyima came out in the west......

Hu Weiyong also looked up at the emperor with a shocked face. He has served the emperor for so many years and knows Boss Zhu's temper very well. It is definitely a model of jealousy and hatred, and the ruthlessness of the king's law.

He will never forget his own family, Hu Dahai. The commander who was tied with Xu Da at the beginning was Zhu Yuanzhang guarding eastern Zhejiang, and he was half of the country. It is no exaggeration to say that once Hu Dahai rebelled back then, Boss Zhu's regime was likely to collapse.

But such a critical character, his eldest son Hu Sanshe violated the ban on winemaking in Wuzhou, and deserved to be killed for his crime. Many people advised Zhu Yuanzhang not to kill him in order to avoid Hu Dahai's mutiny.

Boss Zhu said: "I'd rather let Hu Dahai rebel than let my military orders be unable to be implemented." In the end, Hu Sanshe was executed with his own hands......

Since then, he has never had the luxury of hoping that Boss Zhu will be able to be extrajudicially gracious.

So after Hu Tianci's incident, Hu Weiyong never thought about pleading with the emperor at all......

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually relented.

Hu Weiyong's brain is buzzing, I don't know if he has a big face, or if the tiger doesn't bite when he is old? Or are you just testing yourself?

But there was not the slightest joy in his heart, only remorse and grief.

All kinds of feelings and sorrows turned into four words - play me am, right?!

'I have killed my own son with my own hands, where is this grace still grace?' The cruelest punishment is about the same! Hu Weiyong's indignant chest was about to explode, and with great remorse, he finally couldn't help but ask Boss Zhu:

'Your Majesty, if you have the heart to be gracious, why didn't you say it earlier?!' ’

Boss Zhu smiled slightly and said, "You haven't begged us either......"

"This ...... That's because, I haven't had any extravagant hopes...... "Hu Weiyong's heart is stuffed, don't don't, what kind of plot is this?" Guan Hanqing has to like it when she sees it, and Dou E has to say that the concubine is not unlucky!

"It's not too late to say it now!" "Thank you, Hu Xiang." The officials are still urging Hu Weiyong vigorously, if they don't hurry up and kowtow to thank him, he is willing to be a cow and a horse for the rest of his life, and what are you still pestering the emperor here to give grace sooner or later?

"It's late, it's too late...... Hu Weiyong is dumb and eats coptis, and he can't say anything about his suffering, so he can only be there over and over again.

"What, Hu Xiang is reluctant to open this mouth?" Zhu Yuanzhang is not a patient person, and his face is not good-looking. "Do we have to beg you?"

"Hu Xiang, Hu Xiang......" Baiguan urged in a whispered anxious voice.

"The emperor Long Enwei understands it," but hearing Hu Weiyong pause for a while, Fang choked and said: "As the father of his son, the minister is naturally willing to let him live." ”

As he spoke, he changed his words and said: "However, as the prime minister of a country and the teacher of a hundred officials, he knows the truth that a thousand miles of embankments are destroyed in a hole. Regardless of the ruthlessness of your national law and the official law like a furnace, as soon as this case is opened, it will lead to the relaxation of the law. Since then, everyone has luck in their hearts, and the wind of pleading for mercy has gradually risen, and the discipline and law established by the emperor in the past ten years of strict punishment and strict law will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

Saying that, he took a deep breath, arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Minister Hu Weiyong, please ask the emperor to cut off the son of God, and set an example with the law of the country, the discipline of the discipline, and the example!" If you can let one or two powerful people know that the king is difficult to commit and that they will die, it can be regarded as a bit of value for the death of a son......"

There was a dead silence in Fengtianmen Square, and the ministers looked at Hu Xiang in amazement, and said in their hearts that they had taken the wrong medicine? What kind of righteous killing is playing at this time? Besides, Hu Xiang doesn't look like such a person......

Is it a sequelae of stroke?

"Listen, listen well. This is why, Hu Xiang's son committed a capital crime, and we still use him as the prime minister! Zhu Yuanzhang said with a long face:

"Because in the face of great rights and wrongs, he can always stand the test!"
