0149 Military discipline of two hundred years ago
At this time, looking at Zhang Jia's movements also revealed the problem, because he opened the book directly with him, and immediately found the content that needed his recitation, which shows that he has turned it over many times and has already become proficient! But the nervous courtiers had no intention of disturbing or pursuing at all, just waiting intently for him to read out the contents!
With the recitation, the heads of the courtiers were buzzing, and they were all dumbfounded! They had forgotten everything else, and remembered that they had only seen the last words recited aloud at the end, saying, "...... Grant the brocade guard has the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, can wear armor, can use bows and arrows, crossbows, and crossbows, and cannot use trampling crossbows and car crossbows. Firearms can also be used! ”
At this time, Zhang Juzheng and several pavilion elders had already secretly laughed bitterly, they already understood that Liu Haojia must have escaped this catastrophe! And they still want to understand what the hell is going on!
The military law of the Jinyi Guards that Zhang Jia recited just now is true, and it is also true that the Jinyi Guards are allowed to use crossbows and other remote instruments!
Because at that time, the Ming Dynasty was just established, and there were still many people who opposed the Ming Dynasty. And at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang killed extremely heavily in order to eradicate all kinds of unstable factors, and even heroes who had great contributions!
But these people are all people who have been baptized by years of melee, not to mention the will to resist, and they also have all kinds of weapons in their hands! And as the vanguard of the arrest of these people, Jin Yiwei is naturally allowed to use all kinds of powerful weapons!
However, time has passed, and the military discipline of Jinyiwei has been revised several times, and it has long been different from that time. In addition, after too much time, Jinyiwei has gradually degenerated into a secret service department, completely losing the characteristics of the army, so naturally no one will remember this.
And now Jinyiwei has certain rules for doing things, not to mention that as soon as they show their identities when they arrest people, the arrested people are so frightened that they don't dare to resist at all, so they naturally don't need to wear armor and hold crossbows, so they themselves have forgotten their former glory!
What's more, the warriors in the Jinyi Guard don't have a lot of time to study, and even if they read, they won't read the abandoned military law that has long been useless, so they don't know that there is such a rule. As for the current scholars and courtiers, they will not care about an outdated military law, so they have long forgotten the content of the Jinyi Guard military law during the Taizu Dynasty.
But the magic of this matter lies in the word "ancestral system"! You must know that the most powerful rule of the civil government over the emperor is the "ancestral system"! If you don't do what your ancestors said, you are unfilial and a faint king! So we have to oversee you as you keep your ancestry! When the emperor compromises, it will be a civil official!
But now they're sitting on wax! If the civilian officials forcibly rely on the current military discipline to convict Liu Haojia, then the advantages they gained by relying on the "ancestral system" in the past will be completely lost! If they want to maintain the existence of the "ancestral system", then Liu Haojia will bite back Zhao Minghua and others for false accusations and disrespectful charges, and they will be completely confirmed!
And if Emperor Wanli relied on the word "ancestral system" to investigate, most of the courtiers in the court would be charged with a crime of violating the ancestral system and great disrespect! Who made them so energetic in the book! Now it's all in the warehouse!
What frightened the courtiers the most was that these two crimes could be big or small, just in the thought of Emperor Wanli! If Emperor Wanli is ruthless, more than half of the courtiers will be unlucky! Although the courtiers were sure that Emperor Wanli would gently expose this matter, even if he wanted to pursue it, I am afraid that Zhang Juzheng and several other pavilion elders would not agree. But Zhao Minghua and dozens of others are dead! At least it's the result of dismissal and resignation, never to be used!
So the ministers who figured it out were embarrassed by the situation in front of them and fell into silence for a while! But Liu Haojia refused to let them go, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Zhao Minghua and others for falsely accusing Weichen, and was disrespectful to Emperor Taizu!" Weichen asked His Majesty to hand over these people to Jinyiwei to be arrested and tortured carefully to see what their intentions were! ”
When the courtiers heard this, there was another uproar! finally understood that Liu Haojia was unforgiving at this time! Just when they were thinking of a way, a courtier stepped out of the class, and everyone could see it clearly, this person was the deputy judge of the Inspectorate, Song Chengwei and Lord Song!
I only heard him say: "Your Majesty, this military law was set by Taizu during the founding of the country, and now nearly two hundred years have passed, I'm afraid not many people know about it!" Therefore, it is not possible to judge the charges of slander and disrespect of Lord Zhao and others on this basis! And ......"
Before he finished speaking, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Just because he doesn't know doesn't mean that this military law doesn't exist!" ”
Song Chengwei said loudly: "But the military law of the Ming Dynasty has been revised several times since the founding of the country, and it has long been different from before, so it is natural to use the current military law as the standard!" ”
Liu Haojia smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that the word ancestral system doesn't have much weight here in Lord Song!" Why, when it is beneficial to you, you have one sentence on the left and another about the ancestral system, lest Your Majesty not act according to the ancestral system! Now there's a problem, the ancestral system is an old object that can't be used, and it can be thrown aside, right? ”
Then Liu Haojia turned to Emperor Wanli and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Song Chengwei and others for the crime of bullying the king!" They usually use the ancestral system as a guise to dominate the emperors of the past dynasties, forcing Your Majesty and the previous emperors to act according to their wishes! But once it is unfavorable to them, they will immediately put aside the ancestral system and rely on the advantage of a large number of people to continue to dominate the emperor, this kind of person will never be left behind! ”
When the courtiers heard this, they were in an uproar! They didn't expect Liu Haojia to be so ruthless and flip the table directly! If this veil is lifted, there is no telling how many people will die!
Because these civil officials clearly know that they have suppressed the emperors of the past dynasties for a long time with the word ancestral system, forcing them to act according to the wishes of the civil official group! If things turn against them, they will naturally turn the tide like a lotus flower! Anyway, the official word is two-mouthed, no matter how you say it, it's up to them!
Emperor Wanli came to an assist at this time! He touched his chin and said, "It seems like that's really the case!" Zhang Jia, go and take out all the previous transcripts of the Song Court's judgment, I want to see what the ancestral system thinks about in it? ”
Before the words fell, Song Chengwei, Zhao Minghua and others immediately turned pale with fright and sweated coldly! The first thought in their hearts was that they must not let Emperor Wanli consult the previous transcript! You must know that they mention the ancestral system a lot in it!
At this time, I heard Liu Haojia say with a cruel smile: "Lord Song, you now admit that the military discipline I submitted can be used, then you are accused of false accusation and great disrespect!" If you don't admit it, it is better, then the sin of deceitfulness will be confirmed! How about it, pick one! ”
