Chapter 473: Zhu You's trial case


Shen Yongmao didn't know much about Meng Qiaofang, but when he heard the emperor's words, there seemed to be something hidden in them, so he said: "Obey the order, when the minister goes north, he will take Meng Qiaofang with him." ” Zhu Xu nodded, his expression flat.

This Meng Qiaofang was found by Jinyi Wei in Liaodong and hooked up with Houjin, but he was very smart and couldn't catch a little evidence.

And in history, this is a general of the Ming Dynasty and has been a Manchu Qing Dynasty for ten years.

The governor of the western three sides, with great merit, achieved the official position of the military department, and was crowned the crown prince!

Therefore, this human head, Zhu Xu is determined to harvest it for Huang Taiji!

With the cooperation of Jinyiwei, this head, Huang Taiji has to accept it if he doesn't accept it!

"Also, this matter must be closely coordinated with Jinyiwei," Zhu Xu suddenly looked at Shen Yongmao again, and said, "Some people still can't be withdrawn." ” For example, Tong Yangzhen.

Zhu Xu's close Daming high-level officials actually knew that Jinyiwei had not been completely dismissed, and Shen Yongmao was not surprised, and responded: "The ministers will cooperate closely with Jinyiwei, and it will not damage the emperor's arrangement in Liaodong!"

” Zhu Xu hummed, and said with a slightly cold gaze: "Dolgon is in the side hall, you bring it back to the military department, and take it north together, if he has a 'difference', you can cut it first and then play!"

” Shen Yongmao understood, and said in a deep voice, "The minister obeys the order!"

” Zhu Xu confessed a few more words, and then let Shen Yongmao leave.

Sitting in the empty imperial study, Zhu Xu pressed one hand on the table, his face thoughtful.

Liaodong is always not calm, so that the Ming Dynasty can not concentrate on internal affairs, and must find a way to let Huang Taiji stay honest and not cause chaos to the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's wrinkled eyebrows, thought for a moment, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the plum blossoms in the imperial garden are blooming just right, do you want to enjoy it?"

Miss Li also just came out of Renshou Palace. ” Zhu Xu was stunned, and then realized that Cao Huachun was looking for him a chance to eliminate negative emotions.

After thinking about it, he stood up, loosened his muscles, and said with a smile: "Well, then go to the Imperial Garden, by the way, let Feng Zhu go through the six doors again, speed up the staffing, and then let Wei Zhongxian help secretly." ” Cao Huachun responded softly, at the beginning of the purge of the Donglin Party, there were still some people who slipped through the net for various reasons, and some 'reformed' drew a line with the Donglin Party and actively embraced the new deal.

Some are still stubborn and become resistance to the New Deal.

The emperor is going to end these people and things before the end of the year.

The back hall of the Ministry of Officials, the class room of the book.

Zhou Yingqiu is also busy now, his feet don't touch the ground, and it's dark.

Without the Beijing Procuratorate, the Supervisory Yuan is currently unable to fully take over the functions and powers of the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate, so the evaluation, promotion, rewards and punishments of the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all picked up by the Ministry of Officials.

The power of the Ministry of Officials has been unprecedented since the Ming Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the real head of the six departments, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'hidden phase'!

The increase in power certainly made Zhou Yingqiu excited, but his busy work also made him tired.

The clerk in his hand is the lake.

The governor of Guang listed seven prefects and ten prefects to recommend to the officials for reference or confirmation.

Even if Zhu Xu's political reform strengthened the control over the locality, but in the face of the great Ming Dynasty, the imperial court sometimes seemed powerless, for example, in the assessment of officials, even if the officials sent officials to conduct on-the-spot assessments, it was still impossible to guarantee whether these people had real talents and real learning, and their hearts were really oriented to the new policy.

"Governor's Yuan, the ...... of the three divisions and yamen" Zhou Yingqiu's eyes were deep and tired.

He felt more and more that the political reform of the imperial court was urgent, and if the three divisions of the yamen and the Governorate were established and perfected, he would be able to understand from multiple channels and not be deceived by the local government.

A porter hurriedly came to the door and said to Zhou Yingqiu, "My lord, Meng Qiaofang asks to see you." ” Zhou Yingqiu raised his head and recalled, this person seems to have been specially summoned by the emperor from Liaodong?

'Isn't it also to be reused?'

’ Zhou Yingqiu thought so, so he nodded and said, "Please let him in." ” Meng Qiaofang walked in quickly, raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Shangshu. ” Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Meng doesn't need to be polite, come and watch the tea!"

” When Meng Qiaofang saw Zhou Yingqiu's attitude, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she secretly said, "It seems that my appointment is nine times out of ten." ’ How did he know that the so-called unpredictable power of heaven had befallen him.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't know this, and greeted Meng Qiaofang politely: "Lord Meng is a rare guest, I don't know what happened to the ministry?"

” Meng Qiaofang was naturally uneasy because his official position had not been arranged for a long time, seeing that Zhou Yingqiu was so polite, he was already determined, so he casually made an excuse, and said with a smile and respectfully: "I'm not afraid of adult jokes, there are a few good seedlings in the family, my mother-in-law is arguing every day, and the noisy officials have to come to see Lord Shangshu and ask for peace of mind, this fraud case?"

” Zhou Yingqiu had no accident, although the matter was in the Ministry of Rites and the Political Yuan, but the Ministry of Officials was in charge of the officials in the world, and he was not the first to find him.

He smiled heavily, and said, "Master Meng, don't worry, this matter is made out of nothing, someone took the opportunity to make trouble, I believe it won't take long to clarify." ” Meng Qiaofang's face showed a relaxed look and then a little embarrassed, she stood up and said: "It's really bothering Lord Shangshu, it just so happens that it will be my mother's birthday in a few days, I don't know if the adult has time to drink a glass of water and wine, so I will make amends to the adult when I am the official." ” Except for not knowing how Zhu Xu wanted to reuse it against Meng Qiaofang, the other Zhou Yingqiu could understand it, and said without accepting or refusing: "If you are free, you will definitely go to celebrate your birthday." ” Meng Qiaofang was overjoyed and said, "The lower official must be waiting for the adults!"

” Zhou Yingqiu politely sent Meng Qiaofang away, looking a little hesitant.

This Meng Qiaofang gave him a very bad feeling, with his understanding of the emperor in Jingyang Palace, it was unlikely that he would use this kind of person.

Contrary to Zhou Yingqiu, Meng Qiaofang felt very good, Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, was so polite to him, which showed that he was 'Jane in the emperor's heart' and was about to be reused!

He sat in the sedan chair and staggered home, thinking about how to manage the liveliness of the old lady's birthday, and secretly decided not to mix with the scientific research of Xiong Wenju and others, he couldn't make a mistake at this time!

Zhu Youzhen got Zhu Xu's will, and when he left Jingyang Palace, he began to gather people and began to investigate the so-called 'Imperial Examination Leakage Case'.

He didn't use the Criminal Department, nor did he use the power of Dongchang, and directly arrested people with his palace guards!

According to the specifications of King Xin, there were 70 guards, and he used these people to investigate the case, and in less than an hour, he arrested more than 30 people who spread rumors, interrogated them layer by layer, and arrested Xiong Wenju before night.

Still not sent to the Criminal Department, nor did he go to the edict, but in the Xinwang Mansion!

The sky is about to dark, and the compound of the letter palace is new.

King Xin sat on the steps, and on the left and right stood the captain of the guard and Wang Chengen.

Kneeling below the right were Xiong Wenju and a group of rumor-spreading scholars, beggars, and more than 30 people.

In front of them stood a group of scholars, all of whom had been the most ferocious group of people in recent times, who had been summoned by King Xin, and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Sun Chengze's eyes flickered, and he looked at Xiong Wenju, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and had been tortured, suddenly raised his hand to Zhu Youzhen, and said loudly: "I don't know why the prince recruited me to wait?"

Also, Xiong Wenju is a showman, why was he punished?

” Once a scholar has a fame, there are many benefits, such as not kneeling when seeing officials, not being punished for no reason, and so on.

King Shin's face was cold, majestic and angry.

He ignored Sun Chengze.

Wang Chengen stepped forward, looked at Xiong Wenju and said coldly: "Say, where did the test questions come from?"

” When the group of scholars standing heard this, they buzzed.

"What, the imperial examination questions were stolen by Brother Xiong?"

"Impossible, how could Brother Xiong steal the imperial examination questions!"

"That's right, if you really stole it, why spread it, isn't it better to use it yourself!"

"There must be corruption and fraud in this!"

"It must be the participation of important ministers of the imperial court, that government is so mysterious, it must be thoroughly investigated!"

At first, the scholars whispered at first, but soon they began to shout loudly.

Zhu Youzhen's brows furrowed slightly, and the captain of the guard beside him stepped forward and shouted: "Shut up, if you dare to make a loud noise, you will be held accountable!"

” The loud shout of the captain of the guard immediately quieted down the noisy soldiers, who had come to ask for an explanation, and did not want to be beaten inexplicably first.

Wang Chengen looked at Xiong Wenju, who was forcibly raised his head, and said coldly: "Say, where did the imperial examination questions come from?"

” Xiong Wenju was taken to the handle, and a person who helped him spread the word recognized him, right behind him.

He was in pain all over his body, knowing that he couldn't deny it, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I got the ...... unintentionally" The scholars who were still angry suddenly became dumbfounded, looked at each other, and they were all shocked, this test question was really spread by Xiong Wenju!

Sun Chengze knew that it wouldn't take long for him to be involved in this matter, so he fiercely said to Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang, isn't this matter being investigated by the Criminal Department?"

Why did the prince use lynching in the palace?

” Zhu rushed back to Beijing by checking the wind and dust, and there were still a lot of things waiting for him to do, but he didn't expect to be stumped by this so-called 'imperial examination leak case', naturally he was very annoyed, listening to Sun Chengze's question, and said in a deep voice: "This king is the regent of the dynasty, how can he not try this 'leaking case'!"

” The corners of Sun Chengze's mouth moved, and he continued to say in a tough voice: "No matter what, it is not in line with the law for the prince to use lynching, and I also ask the prince to hand over these people to the criminal department for a public trial." ” Zhu Youzhen was annoyed in his heart, and said in a bad tone, "The Criminal Department only has the right to investigate, not the right to try cases, and if you want to hand it over, it will be handed over to Dali Temple, you seem to be a scholar, why do you have no understanding of the basic laws of the imperial court!"

” Sun Chengze stiffened his neck and wanted to continue to argue, but Zhu Youzhen's cold eyes made him feel terrified, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak again.

Wang Chengen saw that the scholars were quiet, so he continued to interrogate Xiong Wenju: "Unintentionally?

Then why do you say 'imperial examination questions'?

Why do the bribes spread rumors?

He also openly beat up important officials of the court at the gate of the palace, do you know, this is a capital crime!

” Xiong Wen raised his neck coldly, his heart was flustered, and he still said stiffly: "Father-in-law, don't scare me."

I was not the only one in front of the palace, we were all out of righteous indignation, and we didn't want to offend Tianwei......"
