The Criminal Department and Dali Temple are together, the northern half is the Criminal Department, and the southern half is Dali Temple.
The compound of the Criminal Department sits in the west and faces east, and there is a large prison in the southwest and northwest corners of the compound, which are respectively the official prison and the ordinary prison, the ordinary prison is the place where the prisoner and the official prison are the prisoners and their families.
The conditions in the official prison are much better than those in the ordinary prison, and the jailers in the official prison are also polite to the prisoners, this is an experience handed down since ancient times, who knows which court official said today that he would kill his head tomorrow but the official was reinstated, you offended people very much, after they were released from prison, a casual sentence can strangle you like an ant.
Therefore, the jailers of the official prison are not only very polite to the prisoners, but still respect the lord in the prison, and as long as you have money and want to enjoy something, the jailer will run errands for you.
Xia Xun walked into the official prison accompanied by the servant of the Criminal Department, the inside was very clean, the skylight was opened more, and the air was still fresh, but because many of the prisoners' families were also locked in, the cell was a little overcrowded.
Along the way, the wife cried, the children screamed, and some people scolded, listened carefully, but scolded their own relatives, such as Fang Xiaoru's relatives, Qi Tai's relatives, at this time I didn't remember that they were officials, and the benefits brought by the ascension of a family of old and young chickens and dogs to heaven only remembered that they were tired of their family, and the words were extremely vicious, and there were all kinds of filthy words.
Xia Xun frowned slightly, and Liao Shilang, who was accompanying him, saw that Grandpa Guo was a little displeased, so he hurriedly gave the prison boss a look, and the prison boss immediately roared: "Shut up, be careful of eating whips" The scolding stopped abruptly, the jailer can be polite to you, you dare to kick your nose in the face, he really dares to clean you up, the people who guard the prison all the year round are a little dark psychologically, and there are many vicious means to rectify people.
Liao Shilang respectfully accompanied Xia Xun inside, and the further he went, the bigger the officials were detained, and there were fewer and fewer people in each cell, and the cell was much empty.
The people in these cells are different, some people see that the squire of the criminal department is coming, and they seem to be accompanying a bigger official, sitting in the cell without speaking, but those eyes have been closely following Xia Xun's movements, and their eyes are full of longing and hope, hoping that he is here to release him.
Some people slammed into the fence, grabbed the fence with both hands, and scolded Xia Xun and Liao En: "Dog officials, thieves, you must not die well" The jailer who followed Xia Xun with his waist was not polite, and scolded at Grandpa Guo, isn't this death, they whip it, don't look at the cell is a vertical fence, their whipping method has already been practiced, and from that gap, no matter where you hide, you can follow them like a shadow, and they scream miserably.
In some cells, the official in prison clothes didn't look at Xia Xun and Liao En, but took a stone by himself, smeared on the wall, and wrote poems.
There are a lot of poems on the wall, old and new, carved all over the wall, like graffiti in the toilet, this person still wants to recite poems, can only find some gaps in it, and the words are not too big.
Another person sat upright, watching Xia Xun and Liao En pass, with a calm demeanor and a smile, as if they were enlightened monks, and it was difficult to tell whether they were really indifferent to life and death.
At that time, Xia Xun, the Jiangyang thief who shouted "Twenty years later, he will be a good man again" has never seen it, but in modern society, when death row prisoners go to the execution ground, there are also people who are full of indifference and smiling, whether they are really not afraid or pretend to be calm, Xia Xun is also difficult to determine their psychology, and it is even more difficult to guess about these readers.
People say that prison is the best way to reflect the various states of life, and it seems to be true.
"Guogong, further on, they are all single cells, Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, Lian Zining, Zhuo Jing, and" Xia Xun stood up and gestured to him slightly, Liao En immediately puffed up his chest, looked around, and said loudly: "Grandpa Fuguo is ordered by the emperor to come here to visit your lords, you have said that you have been disrespectful and disrespectful to the emperor in the past, but the emperor is magnanimous, as long as you are willing to bow down and confess, the emperor will pardon you."
Xia Xun raised his hand, stopped Liao En, and said: "The emperor said: Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai, tampering with the ancestral system and dividing the clan, are the culprits, and they should be responsible for the loss of the country, the displacement of the people, the brutality of the clan, and the casualties of the soldiers in the past four years, and these three people must not be pardoned.
Xia Xun directly explained that these three people are bound to die, and it is useless to beg for mercy, this is the first step of differentiation.
He wanted to persuade the ministers, but he was afraid that they would be held by Fang Xiaoru and others, and some officials who could win over would not take the step of weak surrender.
In order to persuade these officials to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, Xia Xun used his brains on the ground.
He arched his hand to the officials in the cells on the left and right, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the past, it was said that each was his master, and everyone ate the imperial court, and was loyal to the emperor, and his loyalty was commendable, and the emperor today is not to blame.
The emperor once said that you are all courtiers left by Emperor Taizu, so you should naturally be loyal to the Son of Heaven who was passed on to Emperor Taizu, this is the way of being a minister, and there is nothing wrong with it.
However, Emperor Jianwen grew up in the deep palace, did not know the world, and was controlled by a few ministers who annihilated the government, bewitched the king, and the adults were also forced to do some wrong things to destroy the ancestral system and hurt the royal family, the crime is unforgivable and understandable.
When today's Zijing was difficult, he raised troops to kill under the city of Jinling, originally obeyed the ancestral system, Qing Jun's side, and annihilated the evil, but Emperor Jianwen was ashamed of his sins, and he had no face to face the emperor's uncle, and he committed suicide.
For the sake of the country, the emperor will inherit the unification today, as long as you are gentle" Xia Xun hadn't finished paving the steps for them, so he heard a sneer: "Clever words, it is difficult to change the fact that the traitors are usurping, we are open-minded, like the light wind and the moon, even if we die, we can also go down in history, although you Ronger and other annihilators die, but they will be scolded by all generations."
Xia Xun saw that it was Huang Zicheng who spoke, Xia Xun smiled slightly, and said: "It turned out to be Lord Huang of Taichang Temple, disrespectful and disrespectful."
It is not difficult for a person to come up with a bad idea, but it is difficult to come up with a bad idea for a lifetime, such a difficult thing, Lord Huang has done it, and Yang really admires Lord Huang. ” Huang Zicheng's face was as red as blood, he threw himself on the fence, pointed at Xia Xun with his halberd, and said angrily: "You dare to insult the old man" Xia Xun dusted off his robe and said disdainfully: "Guangfeng Jiyue, you are also worthy of Cao Guo's army to defeat Beiping City, which one is pretentious for him, blinding Jianwen, so that he is guilty of impunity, but it is you, the emperor, who will be rewarded heavily, why do you do this for Jianwen's country or the righteousness of the world, not for your own future, I am afraid that you know that you will die, for the sake of the name behind you, so pretentious."
Huang Zicheng was so angry that he wanted to explode, but this incident was a stain that he couldn't refute, and he choked for a while, and Fang Xiaoru in the opposite cell said in a deep voice: "Small is not hindered by the great festival and the unification of the big festival Since ancient times, there are often long and long descendants, and the national ethics are constant, how can we do it in disorder, for the country and the people, and have a clear conscience to hold on to this point, a little flaw, what is it?"
Xia Xun turned his head, looked at Fang Xiaoru, and asked, "Then may I ask Master Fang, what kind of ethics is often related to the fortune of the country and the people's livelihood, so important?"
Fang Xiaoru said in a loud voice: "Royal orthodoxy" Xia Xun smiled faintly: "It's just to marry Mr. first and have the first child."
Fang Xiaoru said sharply: "This is the will of heaven, this is the way of heaven" Xia Xun said: "Providence Speaking of providence, Providence made His Royal Highness King Yan the emperor, don't you advocate the ancient ritual system, the ancients still have the ability to select talents, Zen let the world, whether he is a good emperor, it depends on what he can do to the country and the people of Li to build a great country, but the enemy is not a corner of Beiping, what virtue he can have?"
Fang Xiaoru arched his hand and said disdainfully: "The emperor is benevolent and filial, how can he be compared to a thief?"
Xia Xun sighed and said: "Zhiren and filial piety, this sentence makes my ears almost give birth to cocoons, but I want to break my head, and I didn't think of Jianwen Yuji in the past four years, where is benevolence, where is filial piety, is it just to ascend to the throne, and the forbidden prince is filial piety, is it innocent and punished, imprisoning the king of Qi, the king of Zhou, the king of Dai, and forcing the king of Xiang to death, it is benevolence."
Benevolence and filial piety are good emperors According to what you Lord Fang said, a filial piety can be an emperor, but can he manage a country well If the Ming monarch in your eyes is only morally noble, then the most suitable person to be the emperor should be a monk, sweeping the floor without hurting the lives of ants, and cherishing the moth gauze lamp, isn't it beautiful" Fang Xiaoru roared angrily: "Yan thief is an uncle and a nephew."
"Come on, you Fang University Scholar can't be reasonable, there is always a cause and effect in everything, oh, by the way, Bachelor Fang suppresses Buddhism, and doesn't believe in cause and effect, but you always have to talk about the reason, the head of the family has just passed away, and the bones are not cold, you, the eldest grandson who inherited the family business, will crowd out the uncles of each house, and do everything possible to take over the property that your grandfather gave them in various names.
That's not all, but also to force all the uncles to death, this nephew is a benevolent and righteous uncle can only be restrained, once he resists, he will be an uncle and a nephew.
Which provision in the Da Ming Law is that the nephew and uncle are benevolent and righteous, and the uncle resists is the uncle and the nephew, and the great rebellion is not to reverse black and white, pointing to the deer as a horse, and as for the one" Qi Tai had been sitting cross-legged in the cell, listening to their theories, and when he heard this, he only sighed slightly and closed his eyes gently.
Huang Zicheng said: "This is a state affair, how can it be compared with a family affair, the power of the vassal king, it is not beneficial to the country, for the peace of the world, it is necessary" Xia Xun glanced at him, spread his hands and said: "Look, I'll talk to you about state affairs, you tell me about my uncle and nephew, I'll talk to you about family affairs, and you talk to me about state affairs."
Okay, if you want to talk about state affairs, let's talk about state affairs. ” Xia Xun pulled back his body and said loudly: Emperor Ming's ancestral training: The world is big, and a feudal screen must be built, the country will be defended, and the people will be safe.
Now the sons are long.
It is advisable to have their own titles and divide the towns into countries.
I am not a personal relative, but I follow the system of the ancient sages and kings, and it is a plan for long-term peace and long-term rule.
Ladies and gentlemen, this domain was established by Emperor Taizu, and you keep saying that His Royal Highness King Yan has violated the ancestral system, who is the one who violated the ancestral system?"
Huang Zicheng was just about to speak, but Xia Xun said again: "Okay, I won't reason with you about your self-slapping mouth, just according to what you said, the power of the vassal king is not beneficial to the country, and for the long-term peace and stability of the world, it is reasonable to cut the domain."
Then I ask you, what is the cutting of the domain?"

Xia Xun raised his voice violently, and said in a deep voice: "The feudal domain, the fence, has its own feudal country, supports its own soldiers, and calls it a domain."
You want military power, the kings have handed it over, you want three guards and horses, and the kings have also handed it over, this prince is only a prince, and he can no longer be called a vassal king, why do you have to work hard to force each other, not to die or to forgive" Fang Xiaoru said sharply: "The division is heavy, in case of misfortune, there will be the disaster of Li Chang and Wu Lubi, King Yan sits on one side, and has been defending the border for a long time, once the ambition grows, the country is bound to hand over the military power in chaos, and it does not mean that he cannot be the party to the disaster."
"In case once you are a scholar and assistant to the government, don't you want to follow the example of Duke Zhou, as long as Duke Zhou sees a prince with ability and prestige, if there are any civil servants and military generals who are popular and have heavy troops, once, in case, there may be a rebellion, and with his ability, the world will be in chaos, then regardless of whether he is guilty or not, whether he is against him or not, he will immediately kill him No wonder you are a great Confucian, this kind of earth-shattering knowledge of ghosts and gods really makes me admire it No wonder you were recommended by the local government to enter the court, Emperor Taizu refused to use you, according to your theory, if you want the world to be too much, then except for the crown prince, the other princes should all be raised, neither teach him martial arts, nor teach him literacy, or all his life will be strangled to death to prevent future troubles, right?"
Huang Zicheng rolled his eyes and smiled coldly: "We wronged him, did he really rebel, didn't he?"
Xia Xun also smiled: "Master Huang, do you still want to be embarrassed, His Royal Highness King Yan should bow down and kill, just take advantage of your heart, but if His Royal Highness King Yan really bows his head and kills, are you willing to admit that he wronged him, I don't think so, if King Yan is a loyal minister, then Emperor Jianwen will not become a faint king, and you will not sit down and be a minister."
Therefore, if His Royal Highness King Yan really bowed down and killed him at the beginning, you would still give him a charge of planning rebellion.
It will be written in the history books that your lords are wise and martial, and as soon as you find the back, you will immediately destroy the annihilators.
When a person dies, he has to leave a thousand years of infamy and is willing to be killed, won't the King of Xiang get such a disposition, that Emperor Jianwen, who is extremely benevolent and filial, gave his uncle who was forced to die with his own hands a nickname?"
Xia Xun's voice was violent, and later the sound shook the roof tiles, word by word into the hearts of every official, stirring up waves in their hearts, and some people couldn't help but reflect on the things they have been justifying in the past four years, is it really right Fang Xiaoru said in a loud voice: "Let your tongue be a lotus, Fang Xiaoru is only loyal to the Tao in his heart, set his heart for heaven and earth, and establish his life for the people, Fang Mou died without regrets" Xia Xun calmed down, bowed to him slightly, and said: "Master Fang, being loyal to the Tao in your heart, seeking benevolence and benevolence, is it indeed worthy of respect, is it only you who are loyal to your own Tao in the past four years, and those soldiers who have followed Emperor Yongle from birth to death and never abandon are not loyal to their Tao."
You die, is the defense of the Tao General Zhang Yu died in a hundred battles, isn't it the Tao in his heart, only your Tao is the way, only you are the way to die, the avenue of heaven and earth, just for you, why is your Tao the righteousness, for the heaven and the earth, for the people, are you worthy, this matter is about the country, the nation and the people, you just for the Jianwen, for the orthodoxy to ask for your life, for your faith to die for the heart of the martyrdom is respectable, its way is really not worth it" Fang Xiaoru was struck by lightning, and suddenly took two steps back, unable to speak for a while.
Xia Xun turned around disdainfully, and said coldly: "Bachelor Fang, the city is broken, there are ministers who die, when Emperor Jianwen was established, there were also ministers who died, and there were no you, you who didn't rely on Emperor Jianwen, you were captured at home."
Huang Bachelor, Qi Shangshu, after the current Holy Emperor, the recruiting ministers who did not go to Beijing such as Wang Shuying, Huang Guan, etc., all committed suicide, and there were no you among them, you disbanded the soldiers and horses, changed your robes, and were arrested on the way to absconding.
If they don't want to die, they don't have to die, those who accuse and submit to Emperor Yongle have been pardoned, and generals like Ping'an and Sheng Yong, who have defeated the Northern Army, can not die, let alone them.
And you are the ones who deserve to be martyred and commit suicide, but you are not dead, so why are you still here to talk to me about righteousness."
Xia Xun's words were a bit provocative, listening to the ears of other ministers, his expression was really different, Xia Xun struck while the iron was hot, and called: "Liao Shilang" Liao En, who was listening to the audience, hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The lower official is here, what does the prince command?"
Xia Xun said: "In addition to Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai, please come out one by one, let's have a good talk."
Xia Xun quietly watched the expressions of the prison officials, obviously because of his words, some people's attitudes have been loosened, but it is difficult to speak in front of everyone because of his face.
He struck while the iron was hot, and took the officials out one by one for questioning, and there were no other criminals around, so that it would be easy for them to confess their guilt and ask for pardon.
Saving one is a family or even a family, and the merit is immeasurable.
As for those who still refuse to let go of their obsessions, he can't care so much, and if he changes the dynasty and doesn't die, isn't that nonsense Xia Xun walked out, and at this time, there was already a crazy roar from the prison cells of the prisoners' families who were closer, and the elders of the clans, close relatives of the prisoners, tried to come up with the elders' factions, shouting hoarsely, and the parents of wives and children were crying and pleading.
Some people want to report Jianwen as soon as they die, and his family may have the same attitude, but this is a minority after all, most of the clan relatives are like drowning people grasping a life-saving straw, and the shouts are deafening, as if there is a riot in the prison, and every sound is shaking the hearts of some people who are still strong-willed.
Immediately afterwards, the family members of the prisoners in the farther cell also understood, and immediately joined the ranks of begging and persuading their masters, while some family members of Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, and Qi Tai, who were clearly declared to be sanctioned, scolded like crazy, seeing their crazy appearance of desperately shaking the fence, if they were released now, they could pounce and bite the culprit who affected his whole family to death.
Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng still wanted to express their intentions and call on the officials, but no matter how loud the voice was, it was drowned out by the tsunami-like shouts of the families of these criminals who were in a frenzy.
When Xia Xun walked out of the cell, he quietly instructed Liao En: "Don't worry, wait for half an hour, and then mention someone."
To be continued:
