After a crazy night, time quickly came to the next day.
Today's morning will definitely not be so peaceful.
The ministers of Zhang Yuanhai's faction were all smiling.
However, the royal loyalists who were close to Wang Po and Zhu Youde all had sad faces.
Wang Po's tragedy was a huge shock to the court.
This morning, Zhu Youde came very late, half an hour later than usual.
This made those ministers even more anxious.
"When there is something going on, we will start, and when there is nothing going on, we will retreat."
Wang Zhonghou's voice sounded, but this time he didn't seem to have so much confidence, and the sharp voice also dropped a few degrees.
Zhu Youde's face was also clouded.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was the first to stand up at this time and said with a smile on his face.
Zhu Youde glanced at the Minister of Punishment: "Why are you smiling so playfully when there is such a big government matter? Kneel down and say it to me."
The Minister of Punishment's face darkened, but he could only kneel down helplessly.
"Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive that General Wang Po killed Minister Zhongliang and he confessed. After review by the Ministry of Punishment, he should be executed and executed tomorrow..."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind beside him.
Feng Bogong stood up with an angry look on his face: "Your Majesty, if General Wang Po really kills Wang Po, the aliens from the border will definitely come here. Don't believe the words of some villains."
Zhang Yuanhai also stood up at the same time: "This is wrong. Rules and regulations are a sharp weapon for the country. If even the central government does not speak about regulations, then what's the point?"
Several ministers behind him also stood up and supported Zhang Yuanhai.
"The laws of our ancestors can also be changed. Now in these extraordinary times, we do extraordinary things." Xue Wenju felt dissatisfied and also stood up.
"Bold, this is a rule set by the late emperor. You, a young man with wet hair, actually point fingers at the former emperor?" This time it was another minister who spoke.
It has to be said that civil servants are all geniuses.
For a while, the two groups argued endlessly.
Zhang Dang's side also had the advantage because of its numerical advantage.
"Stop talking about it. This matter is over. Since General Wang Po broke the law, he must be punished."
Zhu Youde waved his hand to stop everyone from arguing.
Zhu Youde's words are equivalent to defining this matter.
Zhang Yuanhai, who was in the first place, heard an imperceptible smile on his lips.
Finally he stood up and said: "Your Majesty's honorable name is to uphold the ethos of the court and uphold the laws of the world. Although I can't bear it, I still support your Majesty."
The surrounding royal loyalists and ministers who were close to Wang Po were now despairing.
When Zhu Youde heard Zhang Yuanhai speak, he smiled secretly and said: "In that case, it is naturally best. Prime Minister, do you also insist that the laws of your ancestors are immutable?"
Zhang Yuanhai stood with his hands behind his hands: "Naturally."
"If this is the case, tomorrow will be the day when I am old and weak, so I will also use the method of my ancestors."
Seeing the smile on Zhu Youde's face, Zhang Yuanhai shouted in his heart that he had been fooled.
But by now it was completely too late.
Zhu Youde cleared his throat and said loudly: "The ancestors once said that if the descendants of the emperor are weak at the age of twenty, or sixty years old, they can grant amnesty to the world. Do you know this?
After he said these words, he finally realized what he was doing.
Both of these sentences were spoken by the ancestors, and Zhu Youde naturally abided by both.
At this time, a compromise method can be used.
The ministers in the hall were all stunned. They didn't expect that Zhu Youde would do this.
"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Punishments, is this possible?" Zhu Youde asked one more question for the sake of legality.
"Ah, this..." At this time, he had just come out of the shock of hearing this decree.
He glanced at Zhang Yuanhai secretly and nodded: "It is true."
"Well, Zhang Shoufu, if that's the case, then I have to abide by the law."
"Tomorrow, I will grant amnesty to the whole world. As for what the restrictions are, Xue Wenju, you will come and discuss it with me later."
After these words were spoken, everyone knew Zhu Youde's plan.
Even Zhang Yuanhai had never thought of this before.
He wanted to play with Zhu Youde on national law, so Zhu Youde played with him on national law.
Zhang Yuanhai also said that the laws of the ancestors are immutable.
Zhu Youde ignored the comments behind him and turned around to leave.
All the civil and military personnel of the court were left behind. At this time, everyone's expressions were quite consistent and they had not yet reacted.
Zhang Yuanhai's face didn't look good. After all, Zhu Youde came to take the trouble this time, which he really didn't expect.
"Chief Assistant, this..."
The Minister of Punishment on the side looked at Zhang Yuanhai and said slowly.
Zhang Yuanhai waved his hand and said softly: "So what if the world is amnesty? The world amnesty cannot reinstate Wang Poguan. Even if he can't die, he will have to stay in prison for the rest of his life. When the time comes, our chance will still exist.
.”
Although Zhang Yuanhai said so, as long as Wang Po didn't die, his heart would become restless.
After all, who knows whether this little emperor will use other methods in the future.
However, it is definitely not easy to do anything during this period, otherwise it will bring you a lot of trouble.
Naturally, there are limits to amnesty to the world.
If one were to directly pardon those who had committed capital crimes, then the law would have already been in chaos.
Zhu Youde asked Xue Wenju to come over because he wanted him to set a limit.
Let the fewer people enjoy the amnesty, the better.
It is impossible for those who deserve it to escape the severe punishment of this law.
He also knew that this move could only save Wang Po's life. If he wanted to reinstate him, he still had to find out what the specific matter was.
Zhu Youde had heard how Wang Po killed the sycophant Sun Yun before, but no matter what, he felt that there was something fishy in it.
This time Zhu Youde is planning to go investigate on his own. Only in this way can the matter be completely clear.
After arranging everything, Zhu Youde asked Xue Wenju to issue the order first, while he returned to his palace first.
Now that the Xiongnu sent envoys, it was revealed that Wang Po was captured. If he said that it had nothing to do with them, Zhu Youde would not believe it.
Back in the palace, Zhu Youde told Luo Xian about the matter.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xian thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you know the Plum Blossom Guard?"
Zhu Youde was stunned for a moment and nodded: "The Plum Blossom Guard was an organization founded by the previous emperor's father. I naturally know this."
The strength of the Plum Blossom Guards can be considered unique in the entire army.
Although there are only a hundred people, each one can equal a hundred, and each one is a third-rate martial arts master.
This Plum Blossom Guard, following its ancestors, has been traveling all over the country to defend the country of Daliang. It can be said that all of them are full of honors.
And he is extremely loyal to the royal family.
Luo Xian shook her head and said: "Actually, there are two plum blossom guards. One is the plum blossom guard on the surface, and the other is the plum blossom guard secretly."
"The main purpose of the Plum Blossom Guard is to protect the safety of the emperors of the past dynasties and to consolidate the safety of the capital and even Liang..."
"The Plum Blossom Secret Guard mainly detects some secret information, so few people know about the Plum Blossom Secret Guard..."
After listening, Zhu Youde seemed to understand a little, and asked: "Why did you suddenly mention this plum blossom secret guard?"
