Zhu Yuanzhang just watched like this, and Ye Qing said resolutely, he wanted to ignore the disobedient words of the holy decree.

Not bad

He never expected that Zhu Huan's father and son, who were honest and dutiful in front of him, would rely on their favor to do so many hurtful things.

Even with such a special relationship, he is extremely angry, even more angry than in the face of ordinary corrupt officials.

If he is allowed to be sentenced by the emperor, he will also sentence Zhu Huan to death!

Compared to the crimes of their father and son, Lord Ye, who was sitting behind the judgment table, was even more hateful!

"How dare he say such disobedient words in front of so many people!"

"I can't spare him!"

Queen Ma and the others listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was not loud, but the words were cold, and they gritted their teeth, and their hearts immediately became cold.

They all know that when Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he didn't make a loud voice and called himself me, the person he was looking at was already a dead man if nothing else.

Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously wanted to persuade each other.

But after the words came to their mouths, both of them and mother and son forcibly swallowed them again, because they really had no reason to persuade them.

This is not a question of whether he Ye Qing is satisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang's judgment, but that he Ye Qing dares to promote his spirit of resistance under the attention of everyone!

You must know that the crime is nothing more than rebellion and resistance, the reason why he Ye Qing can resist the decree in Yanmen County and not die, in addition to his merits and other reasons, the most important thing is that he has become the soil emperor of Yanmen County!

But this is not Yanmen County, this is the Ningbo Mansion where he first arrived.

Except for the three hundred elite soldiers he brought from Yanmen County, there were no people here who were loyal to him Ye Qing.

If he Ye Qing wants to survive this catastrophe safely, unless he can meet two conditions.

The first condition he has already achieved, that is, there is a way to resist the will!

The so-called resistance to the decree has a way, that is, the will issued by the emperor is obviously wrong, and justice is on the side of the resistant.

Obviously, if Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order to pardon Zhu Liujiu, the people would not think that Zhu Yuanzhang had done the right thing, and would only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

He Ye Qing resisted the decree under such circumstances, although it was a big rebellion, but it also took advantage of the people's hearts.

This second condition is to achieve the so-called 'law does not hold the people accountable'!

The thousands of people inside and the nearly 10,000 people outside the arena must unite and resist the decree with Ye Qing, so that the phrase 'justice is at ease in the hearts of the people' can be upgraded to 'the law does not hold the people accountable'.

More than 10,000 people and even people from a city joined Ye Qing to resist the decree under the condition of taking advantage of the reason, Rao is the supreme imperial power, and he also had to make way for the people's will.

Although the imperial power is supreme, it is also afraid that the water that carries the boat will become the water that overturns the boat!

When Queen Ma thought of this, her eyes looking at Ye Qing also had a look of embarrassment.

As Zhu Yuanzhang's wife, she should have stood with her family at all times, and she shouldn't have expected this kind of thing to make her family embarrassed.

But if you just blindly be this so-called good wife, it is tantamount to watching her family make mistakes.

She knew that Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son were guilty, but she didn't expect it to be so evil!

If in this case, Zhu Liujiu is still spared, then what he Zhu Yuanzhang will gain from this trip is not the people's heart, but the people's grievances!

Obviously, if it were a crime alone, neither father nor son would have survived!

But it is also clear that this matter cannot be a crime alone!

After all, it is a fact that he Zhu Liujiu has a great favor to the emperor, and it is said that the merit is higher than the rescue, but when the emperor is in trouble, he also has a great contribution!

"If you want to pass this hurdle, not only do you have the determination to fight with you to the end, but you also want to help Your Majesty repay your kindness while killing Zhu Liujiu!"

"Only by doing these two things can you live!"

“.”

After thinking of this, Queen Ma's gaze at Ye Qing was even more worried than before.

Because in her opinion, it is completely impossible.

If it was in Yanmen County, it would definitely not be said, it must be the people of the county and Ye Qing with one heart, which is also an important reason why Ye Qing resisted the decree and did not die.

But it's different here, even if he just came and didn't want to ask for his life for the people, but after all, he was just a newcomer.

He, Ye Qing, can ask for his life for the sake of the people on this side, but can the people on this side regard him as a parent so quickly?

Obviously, it's possible, but it's definitely not likely!

As for killing Zhu Liujiu at the same time, he also helped Zhu Yuanzhang repay his kindness, which is purely more difficult.

At least she Ma Xiuying can't think of such a way to get the best of both worlds now.

Queen Ma was troubled by this matter, and Zhu Biao and Mao Xiang were also troubled by this matter, because in their eyes, there was no solution to this matter at all.

But just when they racked their brains and made it difficult, Ye Qing felt that the heat was not enough at all.

On the high seat of judgment,

Ye Qing looked at the people who were talking in front of him, stood up directly, and walked to the edge of the high platform.

Ye Qing said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Ningbo Mansion, please listen to the words of this official. ”

"The reason why this official decided to play first and wait for His Majesty's holy decree to arrive before killing them is definitely not because this official is afraid of their identity."

"It's that the official wants to test whether His Majesty is sincere!"

Hearing this, more than 10,000 people inside and outside the stadium quickly quieted down.

They had only heard of His Majesty the Emperor's assessment of his ministers, and had never heard of his ministers testing His Majesty's Majesty.

For them, this is a unique statement in history, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and they must listen to what this legendary Lord Ye has to say.

In the box on the third floor of the restaurant opposite, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already on fire, was shocked and unbelievable in his eyes after hearing this.

In the next moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like knives, and at the same time, he nodded with interest.

"Let's test us?"

"Let's just listen, how are you going to test us?"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about it like this, Ye Qing said aloud again: "Your Majesty, in order to invite this official to be the prefect of Ningbo, it can be said that you have learned Liu Bang, no, you have learned Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house and ask Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain!" ”

"For this reason, His Majesty took the initiative to set up the 'Ningbo Special Government', and granted the official many privileges, and the official was grateful for his sincerity and went to Ningbo thousands of miles away!"

"In this case, this official must also be worthy of His Majesty's grace, and ask for the people's life, and will never ignore the law and the rules and principles of the official just because the other party is a relative of the emperor!"

"So, no matter what the decree is, they will prostrate in public when the decree arrives!"

"But if the holy decree requires the official to punish them lightly, it is insincere on the part of His Majesty, and it shows that the 'Ningbo Special Government' set up by His Majesty on his own initiative is completely empty talk for the official to go out of the mountain!"

"If you are not sincere, why should the minister bother with you?"

"If you are not sincere, this official would rather die for justice!"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qing took off his brand-new black gauze hat in front of everyone.

Immediately after, he just casually took the black gauze hat and strode back.

At the same time, Ye Qing was completely relieved.

If the crime he committed before was the crime of forcibly resisting the decree and killing the emperor's benefactor, then the crime he is committing now is the crime of threatening the emperor in public.

The meaning of his words is obvious, as long as he, Zhu Yuanzhang, dares to let him sentence the father and son lightly, then he would rather die than this broken prefect.

As long as Zhu Yuanzhang, who was mixed in the crowd, passed back his Ye Qing's remarks, with his Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he was absolutely furious and ordered not to be killed.

Even if it's just an ordinary person, you can't stand this kind of agitation!

As for his remarks, he spit on people's faces, and arrogantly said, 'Forgive me and don't dare to hit me'!

He didn't believe it, can Zhu Yuanzhang forgive him for these three major sins?

He didn't believe it, Zhu Yuanzhang could stand such an extreme agitation?

He didn't believe it even more, Zhu Yuanzhang could ignore Zhu Liujiu's kindness to him!

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the arrogant red back, his eyes were like wolves, and the corners of his mouth trembled and his teeth were bared.

But before he could speak, the thousands of Ningbo people outside the window were all boiling.

"This is the legendary Lord Ye, this is the reason why Lord Ye can become a legend!"

"Hearing the legend, we said that hearing is false, and we don't think so, but the living Lord Ye is right in front of us, what else do you have to say?"

"It is said that the peach is reciprocated, and it is said that the grace of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, Lord Ye is asking for our life with his own life!"

"Okay, Lao Tzu doesn't want to accompany Lord Ye to resist the decree!"

"That is, if Your Majesty wants to protect these two beasts, we will accompany Lord Ye to die together!"

"That's right, it depends on Your Majesty's knife, whether it can cut so many of our heads!"

“.”

Voices like this are everywhere and for a long time, completely to the point of mass indignation.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene, his eyes were full of shock.

At the same time, the feeling of being roasted on the fire is even more obvious.

On the one hand, it is the great favor of his sixth brother, and on the other hand, it is his prestige, which is really to the point where it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws.

And Queen Ma, who was standing by another window, was in a completely different mood from Zhu Yuanzhang after seeing this scene.

For her, it was a miracle!

This is the so-called 'law does not hold the public accountable', and it has become a reality!

Looking at this scene in front of her, Queen Ma also figured out the reason for this phenomenon.

Ye Qing is indeed a newcomer, and he really can't become a 'parent' in their hearts in a short period of time!

But Ye Qing's behavior of asking for the people's lives with his life is tantamount to helping them avenge the 'revenge of killing their father'!

As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and these moth-eaters are snatching food from the mouths of the people, isn't it like killing their parents?

He, Ye Qing, risked being killed in defiance of the decree, and killing these two moth-eaten royal relatives who snatched food from the mouths of the people was to avenge their 'revenge for killing their father'.

With such an opportunity, Queen Ma walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and at the same time, Zhu Biao also walked in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

In Mao Xiang's eyes, the mother and son directly began to cooperate to persuade the emperor!

"Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, no matter how much you hate it, you can't kill Lord Ye."

"Father, uncle and brother are really too guilty, they use your reputation to loot money, they are using your reputation to rob the common people of food!"

"Your Majesty, not only that, but both of them, father and son, robbed the people's daughters and killed people, isn't the people's lives their lives?"

"Father, the water can carry the boat and capsize the boat, it is you who taught your son, and now what is in front of you is that you must use the lives of your uncle and the imperial brother to make the people who are about to become the water of the boat to become the water of the boat again!"

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Family has no selfish affairs, and is not qualified to have private affairs, whether to kill or not to kill Zhu Liujiu is your family matter, but it is also a state affair that needs to be notarized!"

“.”

Under the strong persuasion of Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang just sighed, and his eyes full of anger changed into endless loss.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "How can we not know these truths? ”

"Don't you know that the corpses of the family members were lined up on the kang back then, and they were all about to rot into pieces."

"We're in a hurry, we're ready to hang ourselves."

"Fortunately, the sixth brother came and gave us a few mats, as well as that thin piece of land, so that they were able to settle down."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down weakly and said: "Now it's okay, let's be the emperor, and we have the power of life and death." ”

"But we not only want the sixth brother to cut off his children and grandchildren, but also the sixth brother's life?"

"The world will praise Zhu Yuanzhang for his iron-faced selflessness, but they will also laugh at Zhu Yuanzhang's cold-blooded ruthlessness!"

Speaking of which, the Hongwu Emperor, who has gone through countless ups and downs since the beginning of the army, has shed tears of remorse at this moment.

"We hate them for being pampered and arrogant, and we hate them for being so disrespectful of our reputation."

"But we hate ourselves even more, because we blindly think that they can also achieve 'wealth and nobility, and mightiness cannot be bent'."

"If we just reward acres of land and money in return, maybe they can."

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to speak and stopped, but just closed his eyes and shook his head weakly.

Queen Ma and Zhu Biao, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang who was so uncomfortable, couldn't bear it, and followed with tears in their eyes.

Their mother and son will not feel so much distress for Zhu Liujiu and his son, but they feel sorry for the husband and father in front of them.

But it's still the same sentence, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, and the emperor can't do what he wants.

In Mao Xiang's eyes, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao hugged Zhu Yuanzhang from both sides.

At this moment, the two of them became the spiritual pillars of His Majesty the Emperor.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head again, straightened his waist again, stood up to the sky again, and looked extremely resolute again.

Zhu Yuanzhang said firmly: "Take the blank edict." ”

Soon, Mao Xiang prepared pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and stamped the big seal, but there was no blank decree in Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting.

In the eyes of the three of them, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, and he began to write smoothly.

After he finished writing, he blew the ink himself, and then asked people to find a place to change clothes, and then quickly passed the message.

For the content of the holy decree, Queen Ma and Zhu Biao were very satisfied.

This holy decree can not only achieve all the purposes, but also not let Ye Qing know that they are here.

After Jin Yiwei left with the sealed holy decree intact, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others looked at everything outside the window again.

Only this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes have nothing but profundity!

The calm and calm emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is back!

Just when the public trial conference was about to end, the onlookers were about to end, and Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son were about to be escorted back to prison, a fast horse suddenly attacked.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

"The holy decree has arrived, the prefect of Ningbo, Ye Qing has received the decree!"

In the eyes of everyone, a brocade guard dressed in brocade clothes and wearing gold armor held the scroll high in both hands and quickly walked towards the high platform of the trial.

The people who were about to leave and go home were also amazed when they saw the sudden arrival of the holy decree.

His Majesty the Emperor's holy decree can also respond to the sentence Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive?

Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son, looking at the oncoming holy decree, straightened their backs all of a sudden, and their eyes were very proud.

But then, the two of them subconsciously frowned.

Not only did they frown, but even Ye Qing couldn't help frowning slightly as he looked at the oncoming holy decree.

"That's not right!"

"I'm going to sentence me according to the law, I only set off yesterday, and it stands to reason that I should have arrived this morning."

"As for the matter of Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son, I haven't had time to send someone to play yet!"

"No, this is not a decree for me to let them go!"

Thinking of this, Ye Qing also walked out and prepared to receive the order.

Wang Baobao, Xu Da, who was sitting on the side, also felt strange, but they felt strange why Zhu Yuanzhang temporarily wrote this holy decree to sentence their father and son lightly?

Isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver, and clearly tell Ye Qing that the emperor is here?

Thinking of this, the two of them shook their heads unconsciously!

"No,"

"Your Majesty is not so stupid, this holy decree is not directly asking for a light sentence for Zhu Huan's father and son!"

Just when the two of them were thinking like this, after Jin Yiwei showed that the wax seal was intact in public, he opened the holy decree in public.

"Ningbo Governor Ye Qing, take the order!"

Ye Qing bowed slightly and saluted: "Minister Ye Qing, accept the order!" ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said:"

"After the arrival of Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, he should serve the people wholeheartedly and live up to his expectations."

"I allow Ye Qing, the prefect of Ningbo, to have the right to cut first and then play, within the jurisdiction, whether it is the common people or the relatives of the emperor, if there is a violation, you can cut it first and then play."

"In addition, the boss is a political envoy and must not interfere in the government of the Ningbo Special Executive Government!"

"Chin this!"

A moment later, more than 10,000 people inside and outside the stadium all cheered.

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

"Your Majesty is the Holy King of the Ages, and it is my great fortune that I was born in this world!"

"If anyone says that Your Majesty is suspicious and murderous, I must be in a hurry with him, Your Majesty is a Ming Jun who does not suspect people, and does not use suspicious people!"

"The relationship between His Majesty and Lord Ye is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wei Qing, Tang Taizong and Wei Zheng, Emperor Wu (Wu Zetian) and Di Renjie, Song Renzong and Bao Qingtian."

In the box on the third floor of the restaurant opposite, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this scene condescendingly, and finally put a smile of relief on his face.

By giving this order, he can achieve all his goals without revealing his whereabouts.

As far as this holy decree is concerned, it can only be said that he gave him encouragement and empowerment after knowing that Ye Qing had arrived on the shore.

But after he has this decree of empowerment, he can directly pronounce the sentence without playing.

On the high platform of the trial, Xu Da and Wang Baobao, who were sitting there, looked at the scene in front of them and nodded with a smile.

That's right!

This is the Zhu Yuanzhang they are familiar with!

But Ye Qing, who was standing in front of the holy decree, was directly stunned there!

"Am I working for nothing?"

"That's not right!"

"Why is this Zhu Yuanzhang more and more inconsistent with history?"

"He is indeed simple and decisive, but when he dealt with the Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan incidents, he was indeed very partial!"

"How is this holy decree so similar to him, Zhu Yuanzhang has long known that they are committing crimes, but it is not good to do it himself, and he doesn't want to bear the charge of killing his benefactor, so he deliberately waits to borrow my knife to kill them?"

Just when Ye Qing was thinking about it like this, Jin Yiwei immediately reminded: "Lord Ye, still don't you receive the order to thank you?" ”

In the next moment, Wu Yong began to remind him with a smile, and Xu Da and Wang Baobao also reminded him with a smile.

Not only that, but so many people in front of him also looked at him with blank eyes, hoping that he would accept the order soon.

Judging from the current situation, he really can't accept the order!

Oh, yes!

Didn't you Ye Qing keep saying that you want to test whether Your Majesty is sincere?

Didn't you Ye Qing say seriously, even if His Majesty wants to forgive them, you have to resist the decree to the end?

Now, His Majesty the Emperor has come directly to such a holy decree that is extremely sincere and privileged.

If he, Ye Qing, even resists this kind of holy decree, then it is 100% his Ye Qing's fault!

Thinking of this, although Ye Qing was reluctant in his heart, he was also respectful on the surface: "Minister Ye Qing, thank you!" ”

Just when Ye Qingsheng was about to grasp it, Xu Da and Wang Baobao smiled and said one after another: "Brother Ye, Your Majesty trusts you so much, don't let your Majesty down!" ”

"Do a good job, your career is definitely more than that!"

Ye Qing just smiled and said a few perfunctory words, and then sat back in his place.

Engaging in such a big formation is purely in vain, and it is really not worth wasting any more time, it is better to announce the sentence early and leave work early.

"Smack!"

Ye Qing picked up the startling wood and slammed it on the desk.

This is the process required to announce the verdict, but it is also to smash the table as Zhu Yuanzhang.

It is to smash him, Zhu Yuanzhang, who does not play according to the routine, and also to smash him, Zhu Yuanzhang, who is indeed more wise than Zhu Yuanzhang in his Ye Qing's cognition.

"Zhu Huan was originally a commoner, but he became a prince because of His Majesty, but he didn't want to repay the country's kindness, corrupted the law, robbed the people's daughters, and even killed people."

"The official pronounced the verdict in the court, and sentenced Zhu Huan to be decided!"

"Zhu Liujiu was originally a commoner, and he became a royal relative because of His Majesty, but not only did he not be cautious in his words and deeds, but he also maintained His Majesty's face, but also indulged in corruption, and even robbed the people's daughters, causing people to die!"

"According to the law, the judgment should be decided!"

"But Zhu Liujiu is kind to Your Majesty, and after thinking about it again, the official decided to change the sentence to strangulation and keep the whole body!"

"Come on, execute immediately!"

Regarding Ye Qing's punishment, the people also felt that it was safe and reasonable.

In the eyes of everyone, how arrogant Zhu Liujiu and Zhu Huan's father and son were before, and how soft they are now, they directly collapsed on the ground.

The executioner who won the punch dragged Zhu Huan over with a knife in two.

The other two winning executioners picked up the rope and put it around Zhu Liujiu's neck.

It stands to reason that with their professional level, they can definitely make a quick break, but they just have to tighten it slowly.

Finally, Zhu Liujiu also became a whole corpse!

Queen Ma looked at this scene and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"This Ye Qing is really smart."

"I really did it to kill Zhu Liujiu again, and help Your Majesty repay your kindness!"

Thinking of this, Queen Ma began to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang again, avoiding the risk of Ye Qing being hated afterwards to the greatest extent.

But after Queen Ma persuaded her, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious gaze: "This matter, he has passed the test." ”

"But he lightly sentenced those corrupt officials and rewarded a group of corrupt officials, saying that it was because we were at fault first, but we couldn't get by!"

"If he doesn't explain this matter today, this matter will definitely not pass!".

I ask the officials to follow up on the support, and ask for the support of recommended tickets and monthly passes, thank you!
