Zhu Di was about to walk out of the hall and go to the harem to see the queen when Ji Gang barged in. When he saw Zhu Di, his knees softened and he knelt down with a thud. He kowtowed and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"
Normally, Ji Gang did not need to pay such a courtesy when meeting a driver. Zhu Di was stunned when he knelt down. Although he was worried about the harem, he had to stand up and asked: "What's the matter?"
Ji Gang said: "Back to the emperor, Yin Shenghui, a member of the Qianhu family under my command, went to Beijing on business with a secret order to secretly investigate the evidence of that person's crime. In Zhuozhou, he happened to meet Xiao Zujie, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The last time Yin Qianhu went to Zhejiang for business, the secret investigator
When the gentry rebelled, Xiao Yushi was instigated by others and made trouble for him several times. This time when they met in Zhuozhou, Xiao Yushi used his patrol power to forcibly arrest Yin Qianhu.
Yin Qianhu had a clear conscience and was not afraid of being detained pending trial. However, he had a secret order to investigate the country's major rebellion, so how dare he delay it? Furthermore, he was a fifth-rank official, and Xiao Yushi had no right to arrest him.
Yin Qianhu argued hard, but Xiao Yushang took advantage of the large number of people and boldly ordered to arrest people. On both sides, one was the inspector and the other was the Jin Yiwei. They fought at the top of the Zhuozhou city. Many people were killed and injured. All the survivors of the Jinyiwei were killed.
Xiao Yushi was imprisoned.
Zhao Zijin, the general judge of Zhuozhou, knew that Yushi Xiao had exceeded his authority and did not dare to detain Jinyi Qianhu. However, he was afraid of Yushi Xiao's power, so he quietly released Yin Qianhu and asked him to return to Beijing to complain. Unexpectedly, he was arrested.
Xiao Yushi's spy found out and chased Yin Qianhu all the way to the capital. Yin Qianhu fled to the city gate and met a group of Yazhong colleagues. At this time, Xiao Yushi also arrived, and the two sides started fighting again.
When the officials heard the news and rushed over, they saw them fighting at the gate of the city. The lights of swords and swords made the common people run around, crying for their fathers and mothers. Two high-ranking officials were actually fighting with weapons at the feet of the emperor.
It's so polite! The lower official forcibly stopped the fierce fight between the two sides and brought them all to the front to wait for the emperor to deal with him! Although Yin Shenghui had past feelings, he did not defend himself to the superior official, but vented his private anger on the city wall. This is also a serious crime. Please punish the emperor together.
!”
Ji Gang had already planned what to say, and his words were spoken urgently and quickly, but every word was clear. Zhu Di was so angry that he shouted angrily: "Where are they?"
Ji Gang immediately knelt down, climbed three steps, and shouted toward the door: "The emperor has a decree to tell them to come in!"
Several Jinyi guards immediately escorted Xiao Zujie and Yin Shenghui in. When Zhu Di took a look, Xiao Zujie had disheveled hair and red pupils, as if he was crazy. He was still breathing heavily. Yin Shenghui was drooping, with bruises on his face and bruises on his body.
There were several big footprints, and he was so angry that he asked in a deep voice: "As ministers, you are actually fighting on the street?"
Yin Shenghui knelt down first and said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I am loyal to the country. I was ordered to go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Beijing and other places on official business. I was repeatedly made things difficult by the Imperial Envoy Xiao. Outside Zhuozhou City, several of my subordinates died and were injured.
Your Majesty, I am unjustly accused. I am a fifth-rank official. There is no decree from the court and no conclusive evidence of guilt. I will arrest him whenever I want, and even kill people. I have never seen such an arrogant and cruel official!"
Xiao Zujie was so angry that he refused to kneel down, and said loudly to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty! Yin Shenghui deceived the Emperor with his clever words and sophistry! I was in eastern Zhejiang, listening to the complaints from the officials and gentry. This Yin Shenghui handled the case on his own name, and went in and out of the wealthy officials and gentry's houses at will.
The inspection and interrogation was so unscrupulous that he forced the officials and gentry to pay generous bribes in order to seek peace! When I was in Zhuozhou, I wanted to take him back to the capital to beg the emperor to punish him, but he resisted brazenly, causing the death of four people and the injury of six people in our capital procuratorate. Today in Nanjing City
He is the head of the emperor, and at the feet of the emperor, he also interferes with the ceremonial guards of the officials, bullying me and humiliating me..."
At this point, Xiao Yushi's lips trembled and his face turned purple. He kept saying one sentence over and over again: "A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. How dare he be so humiliated!"
Xiao Yushang was also furious. He gritted his teeth and refused to say anything about being fed gold juice. He was afraid that if he said this, it would become a stain that would last his life and no one in the government or the public would know about it.
Afraid of being laughed to death? But he didn't want to think about it. At that time, his subordinates, the people in the Jin Yiwei, and even some bystanders saw it. If he didn't say it himself, wouldn't anyone know?
Zhu Di was spitted on his face by him, and there was still a faint stench, and he felt disgust in his heart. He couldn't help shouting: "Yin Shenghui is a royal guard, and he is ordered to investigate cases. What's wrong with entering and leaving a wealthy family? You said he asked for and accepted bribes, so he
You can hand over a bunch of personal and material evidence to the court, and I will punish you! But you are just patrolling. Who gave you the power to arrest ministers above the fifth rank beyond the limit? Who gave you the power to lock up the emperor's guards at will?
You couldn't do it, but you took action. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate died, and people from the Jinyi Guards also died. Shouldn't you be responsible for this kind of fault? Yin Shenghui gathered the crowd to fight with you at the gate of the city, which was unworthy of official dignity.
, I will ask him about his crime! However, there is a reason for Yin Shenghui's actions, and this reason lies in you. If you want to punish him, you must be punished first. What else can you say? "
Xiao Zujie hates evil as much as he hates it, and his temper is like fire. If he hadn't been so temperamental, he wouldn't have used force to deal with Yin Shenghui regardless of the consequences in Zhuozhou. He was full of grievances and only hoped that the emperor would bring justice to him. Unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to punish him first.
Xiao Zujie uttered an "ouch" and suddenly became mad. He roared like a mad cow: "Yin Shenghui is corrupt and perverts the law. Your Majesty's punishment is unfair! What crime is committed by a minister who captures and eliminates evil? What crime?"
have?"
Seeing his fierce look, as if he was going to bite the emperor, Ji Gang jumped up quickly, stopped in front of Xiao Zujie, and shouted: "Xiao Yushi, you don't kneel before the emperor, you roar in front of me, do you still have the thoughts of a monarch and a minister in your heart?"
?”
When Xiao Zujie saw him, he became even more furious. He pointed at him and shouted loudly: "And you, and you, you are colluding together, a gangster, a gangster... cough cough cough... traitor..."
Ji Gang was also sprayed with spit on his face. Xingzi felt disgusted in his heart and deliberately avoided it. The emperor was still standing behind him. Just when he thought of this, a big hand was placed on his shoulder, but he was pushed away by Zhu Di. Zhu Di looked at Xiao Zujie,
He laughed angrily: "Okay! Okay! You are the only loyal minister left in our Yongle Dynasty. If it weren't for you, our Ming Dynasty would have perished!"
You are a loyal minister. You are a very loyal minister. You are so loyal that you can ignore the laws of the court and take away the fifth-rank officials. If you continue to be so loyal, the first- and second-rank court officials, princes and ministers will no longer be in your care.
It’s so deep in my heart that even I, the emperor, have to tremble under the loyalty and righteousness of your Lord Xiao!”
Xiao Zujie straightened his neck and shouted: "I eradicate evil and have a clear conscience! When a man acts, he only needs to look up to the sky and bow down to the earth. What else can he ask for?"
Zhu Di asked in a cold voice: "In my Ming Dynasty law, the imperial envoys patrol the world. If officials below the fifth rank commit a crime, they can be punished on the spot! If an official above the fifth rank commits a crime, they can be impeached by the court! You, Xiao Zujie, have exceeded the rules and taken people, causing death.
, but is it true?”
Xiao Zujie acted ruthlessly and rashly captured a fifth-rank official, which was indeed his mistake. However, he regarded himself as the first direct minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He believed that he was upright and iron-clad, and he only wanted to do things with a clear conscience.
He had no fear. Today he was humiliated by the royal guards at the city gate. He was full of gold juice...and grievances. He was still willing to give in. He slapped his neck and said sternly: "I captured the traitor and eliminated the evil, and what I did is...
Have a clear conscience!”
Zhu Di was furious, pointed at Xiao Zujie and said: "Drag this bastard out of here!"
Two royal guards rushed forward and dragged Xiao Zujie away. Xiao Zujie struggled desperately and roared: "The emperor does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, and protects traitors! I will capture the traitors and eradicate the evil ones, and I am worthy of my conscience!"
Zhu Di was furious. First, he was irritated because his beloved second son had been wronged and was ill in bed. Now that his beloved wife's headache had relapsed, he was even more anxious. The bastard in front of him thought he had justice in his hands. Even the emperor and his ministers,
How is this look of disregarding the king's laws any different from those corrupt ministers of Jianwen who thought they had the right to do so and despised even the emperor like ants?
Hearing that Xiao Zujie refused to admit his mistake, Zhu Di suddenly became angry and resentful. He pointed at Xiao Zujie and shouted sternly: "Drag him out! Kill him!"
Xiao Zujie pinched his neck and shouted: "What crime do I have to do to catch the traitor and eliminate the evil? The emperor does not distinguish between loyal and traitorous, and does not know right from wrong. Do you want to be a great fool?"
Zhu Di was trembling with anger and shouted: "Drag him out! Drag him out! Kill this arrogant bastard!"
Xiao Zujie raised his arms and shouted: "The emperor will kill him if he wants. I will be a straight minister in life and a straight ghost in death! I will be a straight minister in life and a straight ghost in death..."
Chen Ying listened to Cui Xuning's report and hurried to the city gate. The pedestrians had dispersed and everything was quiet. Xiao Yushi's honor guard was walking towards him with his head downcast. Chen Ying quickly asked what happened and learned that Fu Guogong Yang Xu was passing by.
Here, Yin Shenghui was stopped from committing the crime, Ji Gang was reprimanded, and Ji Gang was asked to take the two of them to Jun. He immediately exclaimed "Oh no!"
Ji Gang was a protective person, and he was his enemy. How could he say a fair word? No need to ask, he would also add fuel to the fire and instigate the emperor to be angry. What Xiao Zujie did before was indeed inappropriate. I'm afraid that in front of the emperor
After a hard time, Chen Ying quickly galloped straight to the palace.
Chen Ying entered the palace gate and hurried to the Jinshen Hall where the emperor usually conducted official business. As soon as he passed the Jinshui Bridge, Chen Ying stopped. In front of him were the inner guards and the royal guards lined up in two rows. The posture was clearly that a court battle was being carried out, and now they have been executed.
The punishment came to the last step. The minister who was being tortured was wrapped in a white cloth. He lifted up on both sides and snatched it up in the air before falling to the ground.
Chen Ying's heart tightened and she blurted out: "Wait a moment for the execution!"
Too late!
Chen Ying could see clearly that Jin Yiwei grabbed the cloth at the end of his pocket, his hand slipped deliberately, and he fell hard to the ground, head first. From such a distance, he could hear "boom"
A muffled sound!
Chen Ying rushed forward in a few steps and tore away the piece of white cloth. Yin Shenghui next to him said sullenly: "Master, this is still a long time ago. It is the emperor's decree. Do you want to stop the execution?"
Chen Ying peeled off Bai Ling and saw Xiao Zujie inside. His body had been beaten to pieces, and his head was like a gourd of blood. If you wanted to kill someone, a normal fall would be enough to kill him, let alone killing him casually.
When he got up, he first touched his head on the hard stone slab? Xiao Zujie had already died of anger, and Chen Ying's heart went cold at that time.
Ji Gang just came out of the palace and saw Chen Ying arriving, so he walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Master Chen, are you going to the palace to meet the saint? Unfortunately, the empress's headache relapsed, and the emperor was very worried.
Already gone to the harem."
Chen Ying's hands and feet were cold, and even his breath seemed to be cold. But when he slowly put down Xiao Zujie's body and stood up slowly, his pale face quickly returned to calm. He smiled calmly and said to
Ji Gang said: "The Imperial Procuratorate and the Imperial Guards are all working for the emperor. I don't want to cause a quarrel between the two offices because of some personal grudges. I heard that Duke Fu happened to pass by the city gate and asked about the matter, so I decided to
Please get a holy judge, otherwise you and I will be embarrassed if we beat someone to death in the street. Now that we are treating him like this..., Yushi Xiao deserves to die!"
When Chen Ying said this, the proud smile on Ji Gang's face suddenly disappeared and turned gloomy...
Dear book friends, from yesterday evening to now, we have been chased by more than 100 votes. We cannot distance ourselves and are stuck in a stalemate. It is a brutal hand-to-hand battle. The author has worked hard, the readers have worked hard, and everyone is tired. In fact, Guan Guan has been in poor health recently.
It’s not good either. I often feel sudden palpitations. I just don’t want to say more in the book. I feel like a frustrated little daughter-in-law. Guan Guan will send out as many codes as possible without sparing any effort. Such a stalemate may be forced.
I will stay up late and code more, but today's burst and tomorrow's update will be less, which is just a trick that moves around and around. Wouldn't it be better to be more stable? I am not a man who works seven times a night, but once a night, once a night, steadily and continuously. Friends, please support me more.
Let’s work hard for Guan Guan and let our achievements be as stable as Guan Guan’s updates!
