Zhu Youzhu looked down and saw that the newly promoted Anxi Bo Xia Yao was kneeling in the hall.

Zhu Youzhu beat his spirits, sat upright again, stretched out his palm upward, and said, "Anxibo has a music, please get up and say." ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Xia Yao got up from the ground, tidied up his clothes, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is too early to approve Liang De's punishment. ”

As soon as these words came out, in addition to Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi, Zhu Youjiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and the military generals of the palace, were all surprised.

"Why did Lord Xia say this?" It was about the Criminal Department, He Qiaoxin was stunned for a moment, and then asked Xia Yao with his fists clenched.

Xia Yao did not answer directly to He Qiaoxin, and continued to look at Zhu Youzhu and said: "Your Majesty, Liang De committed the heinous crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and of course he should be punished with capital punishment, but the minister thinks that the crime committed by Liang De is by no means as simple as plotting to assassinate Qincha and tipping off the news, and Liang De is by no means alone in collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, there are also accomplices and even instigators. Such a major case of rebellion is unique in our dynasty, and it must not be hastily handled. ”

After hearing this, some of them nodded their heads frequently and thought deeply that they were worried, while others were worried that under the strict punishment and strict law, it would be easy to spread and become unfavorable to the newly revitalized dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu pondered for a moment and said to Xia Yao: "Xia Aiqing, is there still a secret story that has not been played?"

"My emperor is wise. Xia Yao said, took out two letterheads from his bosom, and handed them to the eunuch of Suitang to forward to the emperor.

"The correspondence between the little prince and Liang Fang??, written in the seventh year of Chenghua?" Zhu Youzhu vaguely understood something, he put the two letters on the dragon case, and said to Xia Yao: "What's going on? ”

Xia Yaohu had tears in his eyes, and said with a little excitement: "Your Majesty, Liang Fang is Liang De's brother, as early as twenty years ago, their brother hooked up with the Tartars and gave me away my great country, which is really my Chinese sinner." Xia Yao's thoughts returned to that unbearable time, and said slowly: "On the night of the 23rd day of the winter month of the seventh year of Chenghua, the Tatar tribute envoy Almu sneaked into Liang Fang's mansion at night and had a secret conversation with Liang Fang's brothers for a long time, and then Liang De personally sent back to the post house. It stands to reason that it is the duty of the Ministry of Rites to receive foreign envoys, and it has nothing to do with the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and Liang Fang is not the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, and Almu and Liang Fang are in contact with the system, and they also choose to be in a private mansion in the middle of the night, so Brother Han suspects that there is an ulterior motive between them, so he secretly intercepts the correspondence between Liang Fang and the little prince to find out the content of their secret conversation. Unexpectedly, Brother Han and Weichen could not peek into the mystery of the letter, and because they were afraid of Liang Fang's many henchmen, we did not dare to show the letter easily, so they jointly met with the emperor, and told the emperor the truth about Almu's meeting with Liang Fang late at night, and implored the emperor to beware of their collusion with each other and disadvantage to the country. Helpless to ...... the emperor I also blame the two of us for their radical rhetoric, which annoyed the emperor, and ordered Weichen to take up the post of Ningxia General Army, and Keri left Beijing to take up his post, and he was not allowed to be called to Beijing. Brother Han left Beijing and returned to his hometown.

According to reliable channels (Xia Yao did not dare to explicitly say that it was Wan Guifei), they learned that the two letters were intercepted by Brother Han, so they sent his brother Liang De to join forces with Wu Yun, Jin Lei, Bao Yu, and Shan Xue in the 'Eight Murderers of Lingnan', to chase thousands of miles to the territory of Huangzhou Mansion in Huguang and brutally kill Brother Han and his wife; Brother Han's youngest grandson was thrown into the river and his life and death were unpredictable; and the rest of his sons, daughters, apprentices, sons-in-law, and Weichen's little daughter were killed and scattered by Liang De and others, and their whereabouts are still unknown. Speaking of this, Xia Yao was already in tears, choked up and couldn't speak.

The old ministers in the palace vaguely remembered that Xia Yao was in charge of the Western Expedition and Han Shen Zhishi returned to his hometown, but he didn't know that it was because of Liang Fang's letter, and he was also embarrassed for a while.

But there are also doubts.

Xu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, asked: "Lord Xia, the lower official remembers that you left the capital west for Ningxia in the seventh month of Chenghua, and General Han Shen returned to his hometown in the first month of the following year. That is to say, on the way back to General Han's hometown, you were already at the border in Ningxia, how do you know the many details of Liang De's pursuit and killing of General Han?"

Xia Yao pulled Shen Qing behind him, pointed at him and said, "Yes, the old man was already at the border of Ningxia at that time, but he was a person who had experienced the catastrophe and suffered from it. ”

Shen Qing, who had already burst into tears and couldn't cry, fell to the ground with a "poof", and said sadly: "Weichen has committed the crime of bullying the king, please punish the emperor." ”

Zhu Youzhu was inexplicable, and asked puzzledly: "Why did Qin Aiqing say this?"

"Your Majesty, the minister is Shen Qing, the eldest disciple of Lord Han. After the master gave office, a family of eight people left Beijing to return to their hometown Qizhou, on the way they were intercepted by Wu Yun and others led by Liang De, the master and the master were killed by the Liang thief, and the infant child of Weichen was picked up and thrown into the river, and the rest of the people were all killed. Weichen fled to Ningxia alone to join the general army of Xia, because he was afraid that the Liang Fang brothers would chase after him, so he had to reverse his name and change his name to 'Qin Sen', and took refuge in the army until now. The minister used a fake name and a fake surname to face the king, although there was a reason for the incident, but he was guilty of bullying the king, and asked the emperor to surrender his guilt. ”

Zhu Youzhu has a generous temperament, just like his father, and pities him for his miserable situation and can't bear to be harsh, so he said: "It's understandable that Aiqing is incognito, and he has been guarding the border with General Xia for 20 years, and he has worked hard and made great achievements, so forget about this little thing." From now on, I will allow you to resume your real name and surname, and your promotion will remain unchanged as before. Get up. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long. Shen Qing lay on the ground and kowtowed a few times before standing up.

"Xia Aiqing, you go on. Zhu Youzhu said.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Xia Yao calmed down for a while, and then said: "Time flies, twenty years ago, when the old minister was becoming more and more discouraged about not being able to find out the secret of Liang Fang's letters, the emperor sent Chen Wenqi to Ningxia, and he and his brother-in-law jointly consulted and finally discovered Liang Fang's sinister intentions. However, it was too late, and the Liang thieves and the Tartars had joined forces to turn the conspiracy into reality, causing my great country to fall into the hands of foreign countries......"

"Lord Xia, what did Liang Fang say in his letter, how did he make me fall into the hands of the enemy? Xu Ning, the commander of the Yulin Army, was honest and loyal, and when he heard this, he was already furious, and before Xia Yao finished speaking, he urged impatiently.

Xia Yao threw a glance at Xu Ning, then turned around and said, "The secret in Liang Fang and the little prince's letter has been written on the reverse side of the letter, please read it to the emperor." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhu picked up the letterhead on the dragon case, glanced at it, and handed it to the eunuch in the hall - with the emperor's ninety-five honor, of course it was inconvenient for him to be the reading officer of the ministers.

The eunuch in the hall understood, first took out the little prince's letterhead, and read:

"'Liang Fang, the imperial horse supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, is a grandfather

I have the wisdom of the national teacher to help in order to be able to cut through the pass again and again, and finally unify the Mongolian rivers and mountains and deserts, playing the country-founding suite, unexpectedly, the princes in front of the throne of this Khan arbitrarily touched the national guard, which caused the people to encounter the poor age, and the people regretted that there was no reward, and promised to pay tribute to a number of BMW gold and jade every summer and autumn, plus syrup, corn and rice, Wan Hu, and the truce of the army, and the benefits of both the people

Sincerely

Dayan Khan of Mongolia: Chahar Batumunk'"

Flipping the letterhead, he read again: "'The main text of this letter is eight prose sentences, a total of 12 sentences, taking the seventh word hidden in each sentence, and integrating two sentences of six words and prose sentences: help seize the guards of the Hetao, and the annual remuneration is 10,000 taels of gold. ’”

"'Helping to seize the guards of the Hetao, the annual remuneration is 10,000 taels of gold'? Hmph, the little prince's ambition is not small, and the shot given to Liang Fang is also very generous. "Although Xu Ning is a martial artist, he can still understand this kind of vernacular.

"General Xu Shao'an is not impatient, and listen to Liang Fang, how did he answer the little prince?" asked Ma Wensheng.

The eunuch in the hall pulled out the following piece of letterhead and read:

"'His Excellency Dayan Khan Chahar Batu Munk of Mongolia

I am grateful for everything

The king killed the people, and then came to the court peace messenger, Li Yuzun, the Song Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the peach blossom was better than the stiff, the deception, the hypocrisy, and the order was asked

This is dedicated to the resumption and praise of the times

Liang Fang, the imperial horse supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, was on the twenty-third day of the winter month of the seventh year'"

Flipping the letterhead, he continued:

"'The main text of this letter is a four-word prose sentence, a total of 16 sentences, taking the third word hidden in each sentence, and integrating four sentences of four sentences: Jian Except to make it, Li Dai Tao stiff, pretentious preaching, feint defeat and easy to prevent. ’”

Liang Fang's words can only be understood in the context of the time. After Xia Yao finished reading with the eunuch in the hall, he said: "Liang Fang was tempted by the little prince's annual gift of 10,000 taels of gold, and promised to help the little prince get the Ningxia Zhuwei. The specific plan is: to pass on the decree to the official, the defenders of the three guards of Ningxia will be replaced by their own henchmen, and then ask the little prince to send troops to attack, the defenders of the three cities pretended to be invincible, went out of the city and surrendered, so the country changed hands under a very 'reasonable' situation. This is the meaning of 'pretentiousness, feign defeat and easy prevention'. Speaking of this, Xia Yao paused, as if waiting for people to think about it carefully, "However, it is not easy to pass on the decree and confer officials, and the emperor must have a legitimate explanation, otherwise the conspiracy will be accidentally exposed." Coincidentally, in order to show his friendship to the vassal state, the eunuch Huai'en, who was in charge of the seal of the imperial envoy, accompanied Armu to the court of the Tatar Khan to declare the kindness of the suzerain. So Liang Fang hinted to the little prince to take advantage of Huai'en's envoy to kill him, and then replace him with his own person, so that he could arrange the garrison generals of the three guards as he wanted. This is the meaning of 'Jian Except to make, Li Dai Tao stiff'. Liang Fang's ......"

"Wait. Liang Fang's plan was indeed vicious, but did he do it in the end?" interrupted Xia Yao by Shi Mingui, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The duties of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan are to exclusively picket, impeach hundreds of officials, identify wrongs, and supervise all provinces. The habit of prosecuting cases for many years has made him develop the habit of attaching importance to both "creative intentions" and "facts" -- obviously he has not seen the results of the facts.

Xia Yao glanced at Min Gui and said, "What Lord Min asked is extremely true, and look at the facts. At that time, the garrison generals who guarded Ningxia Qianwei, Zuotunwei, and Right Tunwei were Ximen Feng, Xiahou Shuang, and Leng Wubing, respectively, and the military positions of these three were all granted by order. It has now been found out that Ximen Feng, Xiahou Shuang, and Leng Wubing are all pseudonyms, and they are actually the bosses Yin Feng, Lao Qi Yan Shuang, and Lao Ba Han Bing in the 'Lingnan Eight Murders'. According to Luo Maonian, Le Yufu and others of the 'new attached army', the little prince led the army to attack Ningxia Sanwei that year, Ximen Feng, Xiahou Shuang, Leng Wubing and others did not go out of the city to face the battle, but only closed the city gate for a few days, and then opened the city gate to surrender to Tatar, and handed over Ningxia Sanwei. For this reason, many loyal and brave men in the army committed suicide or were killed. - Lord Min, Liang Fang's 'pretentious preaching, feint defeat and easy prevention' is not just a 'creative intention', but a bloody fact!" Xia Yao burst into tears.

"So...... What about 'Jian is the envoy and Li Dai Tao stiff'? This has not become a fact, has it? Yesterday, Xia Guan had also seen Huai's father-in-law. The implication of Min Gyu's words is that Huaien is still alive in the palace and has not been "removed".

"Really?" Xia Yao asked rhetorically, without waiting for Min Gui to answer, he bowed down to Zhu Youzhu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to ask the emperor to announce 'Huai'en' to the palace." ”

The eunuch Huai'en, the master of ceremonies, knows righteousness, allusions, is honest and not greedy, honest and loyal, and is deeply valued by the former emperor Zhu Jian. Zhu Youzhu in his childhood, he was in danger several times, and he was saved because of Huai'en's intentional care. Therefore, after Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, Huaien was also his right-hand man in the palace. If it is as Liang Fang's letter said, "Jian is removed from the envoy, Li Dai Tao is stiff", wouldn't my father and I have kept the jackal by my side for 20 years?

What is the truth? Zhu Youzhu urgently needs an answer. Now Xia Yao asked Xuan Huaien to go to the temple, which was exactly what he wanted. Zhu Youzhu didn't think much about it, and said to the eunuch in the hall: "Xuan Huai'en." ”

"The emperor has a decree, Xuan Huai'en will go to the palace-"

It didn't take long for "Huai'en" to come to the Taihe Hall out of breath, knelt down on his knees and said sharply: "Chen Huai'en see the emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"Flat. Xia Aiqing talked about a past incident twenty years ago, so Xuan Aiqing went to the palace to listen. Zhu Youzhu said lightly.

When "Wynne" heard this, his body, which was just about to get up, suddenly slipped under his feet and knelt down again.

"Father-in-law Huai, I haven't seen you for twenty years, but are you okay?" Xia Yao asked quietly.

"You...... Hehe, you are the old general Xia Yaoxia? Our family is fine, thank you for the old general's concern. Wynne snapped.

"Father-in-law Huai, twenty years ago, the former emperor Qin sent his father-in-law to Mongolia, and the lower official was still in the capital at that time. When the father-in-law returned to Beijing, the lower officials had already gone to the border of Ningxia, and there was no chance to witness the grand occasion of the father-in-law's return to Beijing - when the father-in-law was in the court of the Tatar Khan, the little prince didn't treat the father-in-law, right?"

"Wynne" was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, as if in reverie: "No." At that time, Mongolia was newly defeated and begged for peace, and the Celestial Empire sent envoys to comfort him, and the little prince was grateful and flattered, and naturally courteous to our family. ”

"Is it?" Xia Yao seemed to be unconvinced, and asked, "Xia Guan heard that when his father-in-law returned to Beijing, there was a father-in-law named Hui Chu missing from the mission, I don't know if it's true?"

Wynne's face was calm, but his tone was extremely sad, and he replied, "Indeed." Because of the unaccustomed water and soil, Hui Chu fell ill on the second day after arriving at the Khan's court, and the little prince specially asked his imperial doctor to go to treat him, but he was unable to return to heaven and died in a foreign land. ”

"Ahh Alas, the days have been long and he is far away in a foreign country, and it seems that the cause of his death cannot be investigated. Xia Yao made a pun, and suddenly the words changed: "Father-in-law Huai, there is a person who makes you worry about wanting to see you, do you see it or not?"

"Huai'en" trembled slightly, still invisible, and said with a smile: "Our family was born with a loss of confidence, and since we were young, we have entered the palace, how can we be a person who cares about our stomachs? ”

Xia Yao didn't pay attention to it anymore, and turned to Zhu Youzhu and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen brought back a person from the Ningxia border pass, and he is outside the palace at the moment, can you announce him to the palace?"

"Xuan. ”

An old man with white hair covering his face and a rickety body, supported by two little eunuchs, walked into the main hall tremblingly from outside the Taihe Palace.

Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi seemed to be making way for him, and they walked behind "Huai'en" in unison.

Under the inquiring gaze of the ministers of the palace, the white-haired old man staggered to the front of the hall, suddenly broke free from the support of the two little eunuchs, knelt down in the dust with a "poof", touched the ground with his head "dong dong", and shouted in a sharp voice: "The old minister Huaien knocks on the emperor." Your Majesty, I'm ...... old minister I finally see you. With that, the Horn cried loudly.

Wynne! Why is there another Wynne? The minister was stunned.

Seeing this, the original "Huai'en" moved his body, and he was about to leap over the Danqi and jump onto the platform, reaching out to Zhu Youzhang to grab it. Unexpectedly, before Danqi, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and a person was already in front of him; so he was on tiptoe, ready to jump up, but he knew that a hand was suddenly on his shoulder, weighing more than a thousand pounds, and he suddenly stood on the spot.

Chen Wenqi and Shen Qing held down "Huai'en" tightly with four hands, and shouted in their mouths: "Bold Huichu, when death is on the verge of death, you still don't admit your guilt and surrender to the law?"

Chen Wenqi freed his right hand, groped behind Hui Chu's ear for a while, lifted a thin film, and slowly tore it from back to front, revealing his true face, although the vicissitudes of time, but the outline is still the same, the old ministers in the palace invariably exclaimed: "Hui Chu, it is really Hui Chu." ”

Zhu Youzhu was also frightened at this time. He stepped down from the platform, helped Huaien up with his own hands, ordered the eunuch to move a brocade pier, let Huaien sit down, and asked:

"Old Aiqing, what the hell is going on?"

Huai En stopped his sorrowful voice and choked up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister led a pacification mission to Mongolia under the holy decree of the first emperor, but as soon as he arrived at the Tatar Khan's court, he was imprisoned by them. They locked the old minister in a small courtyard, neither beat and scolded, nor allowed to go out, only on the four days of the spring equinox, summer solstice, autumn equinox, and winter solstice every year, forced the old minister to drink a bowl of bitter decoction, and the old minister fell asleep, and there was no discomfort after waking up, only a slight burning pain on his face, even if it disappeared after three or two days. In this way, the old minister stayed in the desert for eighteen years. At the beginning of last summer, they stuffed Lao Chen in a carriage, and Lao Chen thought that they were going to return Lao Chen to China, but they dragged him to Jingzhou and imprisoned Lao Chen in the Wanhu Mansion in Abahai. Then one day, several Tatar soldiers pushed the old minister into a large basement, leaving some water and dry food, and no one cared about it again. Seeing that the food and water were about to run out, the old minister knocked around and called for help, but after a few days, he was found and rescued by General Chen. The emperor, I can't imagine that the old minister can return to the palace in this life, even if he dies, he can be blinded. After speaking, he let out a loud cry of sorrow.

It turned out that after Wu Zhen, the city guard of Jingzhou, lived in the Wanhu Mansion in Abahai, he heard some "noises" from time to time, and he couldn't find the reason when he looked around. Because he couldn't bear to be disturbed, he asked Xia Yao to move out of Wanhu Mansion. Later, Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi came to Jingzhou City, and according to the analysis of the situation that Wu Zhen said, it should be a sound coming from the ground, because the sound is erratic, so that they think it is "haunted". Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi mobilized 100 deaf soldiers, and scattered in groups of two to the rooms, corridors and outdoor squares of the Wanhu Mansion, each group dug a hole, placed the cylinder inside, covered the mouth of the cylinder with a thin layer of cowhide, one person lay on the cylinder to listen, and the other knocked on the ground with a stick, in order to echo the sound of "underground".

After a while, this method worked wonders. When Wynne in the basement was about to despair, he suddenly heard a faint sound of tapping from above, and hurriedly knocked back at the place where the sound came from......

After Huai En was rescued, he didn't know that the Ming army had recovered Sanwei, and Shen Qing and Chen Wenqi didn't know that they were saving Huai's father-in-law, who had died for nine lives. It wasn't until Xia Yao heard the news and rushed to Jingzhou that the two sides were able to recognize each other. In order to prevent the wind from leaking the fake Huai En and Liang Fang, they jumped over the wall in a hurry, which was unfavorable to the emperor, so they strictly sealed the news and secretly brought Huai En back to the capital.

Several old ministers of the Chenghua Dynasty came over and met with Huai En, condolences and congratulations. Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing held Huai'en's hand and said, "Huai Gonggong, don't be sad. You are fortunate in the midst of misfortune, according to Liang Fang's treacherous plan, I would have killed you twenty years ago. Although the little prince is ruthless, he didn't get rid of you back then, which can be regarded as a thought. ”

"The little prince did not kill his father-in-law, not because he was benevolent and kind, but because he had sinister intentions. Chen Wenqi interjected at this time.

When everyone heard this, they were puzzled, but they hurriedly asked why?

Chen Wenqi looked at Zhu Youjiao, who was already sitting in the dragon chair, and when he saw him bowing slightly, he said: "Your Excellency already knows that Liang Fang is planning to kill Father-in-law Huai, the purpose is to impostor. There are two situations of impersonation: one is that the other party does not know the impostor, and any one person only needs to 'impersonate' to replace him; second, the other party already knows the impostor, so if he wants to replace him, he not only needs to 'impersonate', but also needs to be disguised, so as not to be noticed by the other party. As a personal attendant of Huai Gonggong, although he can imitate everything about Huai Gonggong, he can't imitate Huai Gonggong's appearance, so he can only use it——" Chen Wenqi raised the human skin mask in his hand, "Yi disguised." However, this method can only be used for a time and not for a lifetime. The so-called vicissitudes of time, the face is easy to age. Therefore, they need to customize a human skin mask for Hui Chu according to the aging appearance of Grandpa Huai. This is also the reason why Grandpa Huai takes medicine four times a year and never wakes up. ”

"I see. This little prince, Liang Fang and others can be described as far-sighted. Hearing Chen Wenqi say this, the ministers suddenly realized.

So far, the truth of a major traitorous case 20 years ago has been revealed. Zhu Youzhu was both shocked and angry, and when His Royal Highness ordered: The Criminal Department should quickly arrest Liang Fang, Liang De, Hui Chu, Wei Jian and other related people and bring them to justice, and put them on death row. In conjunction with the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they drafted a criminal name in accordance with the law, sealed the news, and took it from the upper court; confiscated the property of Liang Fang, Liang De, Hui Chu, Wei Jian, and others, and confiscated them into official positions.

Within a day, the Criminal Department had already concluded the matters assigned by the emperor, and in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it would draw up a chapter with Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and respectfully request the Holy Judgment.

In the imperial study, Zhu Youzhu sat in front of the bookcase, reading the recital of the three law divisions, and felt very "me":

Liang Fang and Liang De, the brothers, were guilty of treason, and were the first offenders, and their family property was confiscated according to the law;

Hui Chu and Wei Jian committed the crime of treason, they were accomplices, and they were sentenced in accordance with the law, and their family property was confiscated.

Yin Zhi, the squire of the military department, was corrupt and perverted the law, facilitating the rebellion of Liang Fang and Liang De brothers, although he did not know it, he was also an accomplice, and he was dismissed from the post of the squire of the military department, and according to the law of 100 rods and 3,000 li, the stolen silver was confiscated and confiscated.

He lifted the red pen, and was about to put down the pen to cut "accurate", when he suddenly remembered what the emperor said before he held his hand before he died:

"Emperor, my fate is bumpy, the two are princes, and I deeply feel that life is not easy. I have reigned for twenty-three years, and although I have not made many achievements, the government is still quite clear. The root of it is because of the dedication to appointing people, being cautious in the heavenly precepts, being generous with Mingren, and saving punishments. The emperor is about to inherit the unification, and I hope to remember my father's experience, treat the old ministers of the court well, do not kill in vain, unite the monarch and the ministers, and protect my Ming Dynasty forever. ”

Zhu Youzhu clearly remembered that he was lying in front of his father's sickbed at that time, and tearfully promised his father: he would never kill the old ministers of the previous dynasty, otherwise it would be unfilial.

Now, the teachings of the former emperor are still in his ears, but he wants to copy and behead the nine clans of Liang Fang, which ...... But Liang Fang committed the felony of treason, how can he set an example if he does not kill?

After hesitating again and again, it was "filial piety" that prevailed, so he wrote:

"The traitor Liang Fang, who plotted to betray his country and follow other countries, committed the felony of treason that is 'forgiven', and should be beheaded according to the law. However, he assisted the emperor in the Chenghua Dynasty, and he had a little merit, and I was lenient, pardoned the capital crime, and went down to the south to live in the imperial prison and never enter the court.

Yin Zhi, the squire of the military department, was criticized by the ministers for being impatient and enterprising, and now he is corrupt and perverts the law to conspire against him, thinking that he has not made a big mistake, pardoning his exile, and allowing him to return to his hometown and never be hired.

The rest of the performances will be judged. ”

As soon as the royal approval was announced, the officials were stunned. Xia Yao reminisced about the past, compared the fate of his friend Han Shen and the traitor Liang Fang, and called the sky unfair. So he played the book overnight, and was willing to exchange the black yarn of the new "Anxibo" for the dog life of the traitor Liang Fang, and redress the grievances of Han Shen, the left attendant of the former military department. Helplessly, the emperor's "filial piety" was firm, and he left Xia Yao's recital in the middle. However, in order to calm the hearts of Xia Yao and the minister, another edict was issued: Han Shen was ordered to be "Loyal and Yongbo", and Han's wife Zhou was "Lady of Zhongyongbo".

Xia Yao and the others were helpless. The serious case of the Liang Fang brothers' rebellion came to an unsatisfactory end.
