Chapter 423: Raiding the Family and Exterminating the Clan
This night, after hearing that Jinyiwei began to arrest people again.
There are many officials who have been awakened to a certain horror in their minds.
Thereupon.
Many officials also spontaneously took out pen and ink and began to write folds.
Jin Yiwei was finally locked up by Emperor Gaozu, and these vicious dogs must not be released again!
Thereupon.
Following.
The pilgrimage meeting has just begun.
It is a group of officials, playing advice.
"Your Majesty, in the past, Emperor Gaozu maliciously framed hundreds of officials because of Jinyiwei, tortured to extract confessions, created many unjust cases, and acted recklessly, which made everyone in the court and military officials in danger and shaken the country......
Therefore, the edict of the Jinyiwei was abolished, and many of the powers of the Jinyiwei were reduced.
Now, because of a Dinghai Marquis and a Jiangning County household scrivener, His Majesty let Jinyiwei act recklessly near Jingshi and arrest the good family......"
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this move is very inappropriate, Jinyiwei is like a vicious dog, notorious, and likes to create unjust, false and wrongful cases, so they should be banned, and all the powers of arrest and interrogation should be handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department......"
"Your Majesty, what Zang Yushi said is extremely true, Jinyiwei is notorious and should be banned completely!"
"Your Majesty, Weichen seconded it!"
In an instant, half of the courtiers stood up in the court, and they all brushed and said.
As for the remaining courtiers, they are more excited.
They also wanted to second, but the strange thing was that the seven ministers in front of them didn't say a word, which was very strange.
And the ministers such as the six Shangshu also stood quietly and did not say a word.
At this time, he couldn't wait for the official to admonish, and Zhu Di, who had been blackening his face and didn't speak, finally spoke.
"Zang Shiwen, Wen Chang, Lu Zhen, and the others think that we use so many brocade guards because of a Dinghai Marquis's 1,000 food estates, 20,000 acres of fertile land, and a small household scrivener?"
Yushi Zang Shiwen, Wen Chang, the servant of the Criminal Department, and Lu Zhen of the Ministry of Households, and other officials, but they were stunned.
His Majesty's reaction was too abnormal.
However, Zang Shiwen still said slowly: "In the past few days, the matter between Dinghai Marquis and Jiangning County has been in an uproar, and all the courtiers in the entire court know about it. ”
Looking at this righteous and awe-inspiring imperial history, Zhu Di suddenly felt inexplicably funny and ridiculous.
"It was that Zhang Xixian who sent someone to tell you to wait, and you waited one by one, and they all received hundreds of taels of silver, as for your iron-clad Zang Yushi, I just received a thousand taels of silver from that Zhang Xixian yesterday morning!"
"What?"
Zang Shiwen was shocked, and a trace of panic flashed in the depths of his eyes.
The matter of the Zhang family being raided outside the city, it happened that the city gate had been closed, and early this morning, they all came to the court, and there was no chance to know about it.
Therefore, it is even more terrifying.
Yesterday.
The eldest young master of the Zhang family has just sent the silver, and this day is not coming, how can Your Majesty say it?
"What is Your Majesty talking about, Weichen doesn't know! Weichen is a reader, reading the books of sages, and the most knowledgeable is the festival.
Weichen was fortunate to be favored by Emperor Gaozu and promoted to the Imperial Procuratorate, and Weichen has been working hard and painstakingly, never daring to accept any goods.
Although Weichen didn't dare to say that he had any great merits, he had a clear breeze on his sleeves, and the world could learn from it. ”
On the side, Wen Wen and Lu Zhen and other officials were shocked, and looked at Zhu Di quietly, and the hall was full of Zang Shiwen's voice.
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said coldly: "Zang Qing, as the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, knows the criminal law of the Ming Dynasty best, what should be the crime of bullying the king?" ”
"This, Your Majesty...... We-Chen......"
Zang Shiwen suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to speak.
Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be proud.
In the past two days, he has been angered by Zang Shiwen and these thieves.
"I said, 'How can you, a thief, play every day for the sake of a mere scribe for the past two days?
But I never thought that you, a thief, would actually be a deceitful and famous, dirty and disgusting......"
Zang Shiwen's face turned red, "Why is Your Majesty insulting Weichen so much?" ”
On the side, a group of officials were stunned, and they saw that something was wrong.
Zhu Di said: "Don't you think that Jinyiwei is notorious and brutal?
I don't think I should reuse the brocade guard...... Hmph, we think that those Jinyi guards who haven't read any sage books are much cleaner than you, a virtuous minister who has read sage books and looks dignified and righteous.
If it weren't for those brocade guards, I would continue to be deceived by these sanctimonious thieves, and I still don't know that under my nose, Jiangning County still hides such a conscience-stricken Zhang family......
I don't know, you wait for these virtuous and loyal ministers who keep talking all day long, saying that they are honest, for the country and the people, and have clean sleeves, one by one they actually collude with the inferior gentry, deceive up and down, oppress the people, and suck the people's fat and ointment......"
"Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen, Gong Lixing...... You and other thieves can know what you have done over the years, how much dirty silver you have collected, and how much fertile land you have occupied in your hometown, and the Zhang family can remember it clearly......"
Poof! Puff ......
All the officials whose names were read by Zhu Di suddenly turned pale and knelt directly on the ground.
There are so many people, Zhu Di can actually call out his name, then what Zhu Di said must be true.
Damn the Zhang family, damn Zhang Xixian......
"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty Mingjian, it is all the ...... of the thieves of the Zhang family who have bad intentions and set up a bureau to frame Weichen and others."
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen and others, as dignified courtiers, are familiar with the books of sages and sages, and are dedicated to serving the people......"
On the side, the remaining officials were dumbfounded, and at the same time secretly rejoiced in their hearts.
"Shut up!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly directly, "It's disgusting to listen to, a group of dignified traitors!"
You can know that every time the people of the Zhang family send some silver taels to you, how many people will be ruined and their wives will be separated? ”
"If you dare to speak so vastly and insult me like this, you should all exterminate your family!"
Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and other officials instantly turned miserable.
Raiding the house and exterminating the family?
This...... How can it be so serious?
One by one, they were paralyzed, and their hearts were extremely frightened.
Lu Zhen shouted directly: "Your Majesty, Weichen and the others just sit with the people of the Zhang family and drink tea and talk about it......
As for the money collected, it was all the people of the Zhang family who wanted to cling to us, and didn't want some local officials to embarrass his family's property......
The people of the Zhang family are known for their good reputation, and they give gifts to each other, why not? ”
Hearing this, Zang Shiwen and Wen Wen also had their eyes lit up.
"Your Majesty Mingjian, Weichen and others just received some gifts, not corruption......
"Gifts?"
Zhu Di sneered, "Then yesterday, the people of the Zhang family sent silver to you one by one, let you play for us, and find an opportunity to secretly kill that Dai Jiu, what is your explanation?" ”
Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and others couldn't help but be silent, and secretly hated in their hearts, the people of the Zhang family dared to talk nonsense about anything.
"Your Majesty, this is the thief of the Zhang family who framed it for no reason."
Zhu Di smiled coldly, "Come on, bring all the account books of the Zhang family!" ”
"Your Majesty has a will, bring the account books of the Zhang family!"
As a group of eunuchs passed the word, several Han generals walked up with three large boxes of account books.
Seeing this, the entire court was stunned again.
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said to Fang Xiaoru on the side: "Fang Qing, you read to these thieves, how much blood is the blood of the people behind the silver they collected?" ”
"Wechen obeys!"
Fang Xiaoru answered, selected an account book from a large wooden box, and read aloud: "In July of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, there was a great drought in Shaanxi, and 30,000 stones of grain were sent to Hanzhong Mansion.
Send Zang Shiwen 600 taels of silver, 20 acres of fertile land in his hometown.
The relief grain in Hanzhong Mansion was sent ten days late, and the Zhang family sold eleven taels of silver per stone of grain......"
"In August of the twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, sixty taels of silver were used to buy 200 acres of fertile land for the people of Dawan Village, Jiangning County, and 50 taels of silver were given to Dai Jiu, the scrivener of the household, and 200 taels of silver to Lu Zhen, the head of the household department!
No one in the court tracked down ......"
"The ...... of the Twenty-Ninth Year of Hongwu"
With Fang Xiaoru's thoughts one by one, all the officials in the hall were shocked, and that Zhang Jiahao was unscrupulous and frenzied.
And Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and others are also damned and bold.
Zhu Di stared closely at Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and other officials, and said, "You and the others can also pick up those account books and see how many people you have harmed because of some money and protecting the Zhang family?" ”
"If we hadn't inadvertently given Haihou a reward of 20,000 acres of fertile land, we would have been deceived by you!"
Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and others were silent.
Naturally, they have heard all these things.
It's just that those untouchables who can't read a single word, in their eyes, are like grass recommendations, without money and land, they can still be tenants for big families, and they can live the same.
Even, even if it is dead, then it will be dead!
"Humph!"
Seeing that these powerful officials who were shouting on weekdays were all scolded by him, and they didn't say a word, Zhu Di was finally refreshed.
"Come on, give us all these thieves and exterminate the clan, and all the people of their side clans will be exiled to the Wa Kingdom!"
A group of Han generals walked in from outside the palace.
Hearing this, Zang Shiwen, Wen Wen, Lu Zhen and the others only felt that it was very dark in front of them, and they panicked in their hearts.
When those Han generals had just walked behind them, these officials didn't know where they got their strength, and they suddenly struggled, tears flowed, and howled loudly.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is also forced to die, and the crime will not lead to death!"
"If Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, he can't wait to kill Weichen and others like this, I am afraid that he will lose the heart of the world's corporal doctor......
Your Majesty, you will shake the foundation of the country like this. ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen and others are not guilty of death, and Weichen and others collect money to support their families...... Please also ask Your Majesty to forgive Weichen and others......"
"Humph! You and other corrupt officials who deceive and conceal their subordinates, what qualifications do you dare to be our Ming Guoben, and you are also worthy? ”
"As for supporting your family, your annual income is not enough for you to eat and drink?"
