Zhao Xuan agreed without hesitation, and immediately commanded the guards to fetch water.

When the ministers heard this, they made an uproar again. Zhu Qiyu turned a deaf ear, but smiled at the ministers: "You better hurry up and receive the order to thank you." ”

When the minister heard this, he scolded in his heart: Are we crazy, and we also receive the order to thank you. On a cold day, he was poured with a basin of well water, can this still be good?

Cheng Jing's heart is also bitter, he did such an offending thing, and in the future, a group of civil and military ministers will not hate and poison themselves.

However, those who should come could not escape, and the Dakujing was not far away, and soon a basin of cool and sweet well water was given to the ministers.

It was autumn at this time, and the ministers were first soaked with cool well water, and then blown by the bleak autumn wind, which was really miserable.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, so he drank there by himself.

Hu Hu couldn't stand it anymore, if he continued like this, more than half of the Wenchen would have to be frozen out of illness, so he approached the prelude and said: "Your Highness, the hundred officials are also deeply hated Wang Zhen, and the crowd is excited. Please also ask Your Highness to be a little considerate, let them go back and change their clothes first, otherwise they will all freeze and the court will be paralyzed. ”

Zhu Qiyu asked with a look of surprise: "You let the widow be a little more considerate?" My old Shangshu, are you dizzy? Just now they were going to kill the prince, and you can't see it? ”

Hu Hu retorted: "Your Highness Mingjian, they didn't want to kill the prince, they were just excited for a while, and they didn't control their emotions. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he sneered: "They didn't want to kill the prince? So what are they rushing towards the widow for?

Lao Shangshu, don't tell me, they want to rob the widow of the sauce beef because they didn't eat breakfast? ”

Hu Hu was choked by Zhu Qiyu speechless, although everyone knew that the minister would never be crazy enough to kill the prince in broad daylight. But Zhu Qiyu just grabbed the handle of the ministers, and insisted on buttoning the hat of killing the prince to the ministers.

If the ministers don't give Zhu Qiyu enough benefits, today's matter will obviously not be good.

Without waiting for Hu Hu to continue speaking, Zhu Qiyu asked again: "Lao Shangshu has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for so many years, Xiao Wang asks for advice, dare to ask what position Ma Shun is living in now, how many official positions he has, and ask Lao Shangshu to give advice." ”

Hu Hu replied stubbornly: "Ma Shun is the commander of Tongzhi, from the second rank military attaché. ”

Zhu Qiyu smiled when he heard this: "Oh, thank you for the teaching." The widow also wanted to know what kind of crime and punishment he should receive for directly killing the second-rank military attache in public without trial.

Is Dali Temple Qing here, I don't know if I want to teach a few people? ”

Yu Shiyue, the secretary of Dali Temple, had no choice but to stand up and replied helplessly: "Murder pays for life, and the crime should be sentenced to death." ”

Zhu Qiyu retorted when he heard this: "The crime shouldn't be so light, before Ma Shun died, he was performing the duty of protecting the widow, the prince of the prison country, as the chief officer of the Jinyi Guard."

The rebels killed him at this time, they were killing the prince's guards, so as to further harm the prince of the prison country, if this is not a rebellion, then what crime is a rebellion.

Who was the main culprit who killed Ma Shun just now, and who was the accomplice who killed Ma Shun, they all took the initiative to stand up and confess. ”

When Hu Hu heard this, he admonished: "Your Highness, the law is not the rule of the people, so many ministers are involved, you can't all raid their homes and destroy them." Now that the state affairs are in danger, please ask Your Highness to focus on the overall situation. ”

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately got off the donkey and smiled at Hu Hu: "What Lao Shangshu said, it is really Lao Cheng's words to seek the country." With so many people, if all of them are killed, it is true that the court will be paralyzed. But you can't do this, you must focus on the overall situation. ”

A group of important ministers listened, and were just about to shout His Highness's wisdom, when Zhu Qiyu added: "Then ten families are worth one life." The widow killed the ten main criminals of Ma Shun for the crime of treason, and destroyed the house.

The remaining accomplices shall be fined for one year, have one major demerit recorded, and shall not be promoted for three years.

Now let the ten main culprits stand up for themselves. The widow hopes that you will be more sensible and take the initiative to stand up and confess your guilt, if you have to force me to torture, it will not be very dignified at that time. ”

As soon as Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, there was silence below, and the needle drop could be heard.

The ministers who are qualified to go to the court, none of them are stupid, so they rushed to Zhu Qiyu to bring so many guards to the court, and it was clear that they were determined to kill people and establish their authority.

It's just that the deep-seated contempt for King Yu made the ministers lose their minds and finally got caught.

At this time, the ministers no longer dared to rush over and make a noise towards Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu waited for the minister to stand up and turn himself in, and at the same time instructed Liu Chang to arrange the execution ground.

The execution ground was easy to set up: the torture equipment was easy to find, and the execution was also convenient.

Because Zhu Qiyu chose the most commonly used method of Emperor Jiajing: the court staff.

Jiajing was originally a descendant of Zhu Qiyu, but now he has become Zhu Qiyu's master.

Zhu Qiyu's principle of doing things is very simple: learn from Jiajing if you don't make a decision.

As a vassal king, if you want to succeed to the throne and don't learn to use the court staff, you will definitely not succeed.

What people are most afraid of is to be smart, Jiajing has already practiced true knowledge, Zhu Qiyu now just needs to follow and learn honestly.

After Zhu Qiyu and a group of civil and military ministers had a stalemate for half an hour, Wang Hong still took the lead in standing up and admitted that he was the main culprit who killed Ma Shun.

Wang Hongken took the initiative to stand up, also because he was the first to move, and he couldn't run away no matter what. Now that the ministers are shivering in the cold wind, there is no understanding of the matter, which will only cause more deaths and injuries.

So it's better to take the initiative to stand up, at least die decently, and leave a lifetime of fame.

When Zhu Qiyu saw the first one, he smiled and said, "Okay, there are still nine left." Zhao Xuan, go, give each adult a basin of well water, help them sober up, and think about who is the main culprit as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Qiyu turned to Yu Shiyue again: "After a while, when all the main criminals confess, please ask Dali Temple, together with the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to take confessions on the spot and convict on the spot."

The widow approved on the spot, completed the process, and then executed on the spot. ”

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes without saying a word. He only told the guards to give the minister a basin of well water every half an hour, until all the ten main criminals confessed.

The whole confrontation lasted until the afternoon, and in the end, it was all resisted by ten Kedao officials headed by Wang Hong.

Since it is a voluntary confession, the process of the triage of the three divisions is relatively simple. After a short time, the confession was recorded, and the next step was the conviction.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was leaning back in his chair and drowsy, Yu Shiyue held a volume of documents and said close to the prelude: "Your Highness, the confession has been recorded."

This is the confession, as well as the transcript of the three divisions, in which the handling opinions of the three divisions have been written, please reply to His Highness. ”
