Chapter 16 The Imperial Pattern

Chapter 16 Imperial Pattern

By holding Qiu Fu down, Xu Jingchang held down the biggest variable, and there wouldn't be much suspense in the ensuing three-law trial.

Chen Ying still wanted to resist, but contrary to everyone's expectations, Jian Yi, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, personally came to the Ministry of punishment.

Everyone was confused. It was obviously a joint trial of three departments, so why did the officials get involved?

Jian Yi smiled brightly and said, "This is the first time for the three departments to hold a joint trial since Your Majesty ascended the throne. As an official, it is natural to record it for reference. You don't need to worry about me, just a single case is enough."

He talks about a case, but who dares to neglect Master Tianguan?

A table was immediately prepared for Jian Yi and a suitable seat was chosen.

As soon as this person sat down, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Revenue, also came.

"It's like this. With years of war and people fleeing, the Yellow Register is in name only. In many places, households must be reorganized and the people must be reorganized. In particular, separated women and children must be sent home as soon as possible."

He also has enough reasons.

Then the Minister of War, Ru Yun, also came, and he became even more confident. When it came to the military camp, he, the Minister, could not ignore it...

After much fussing, a three-divisional council, six ministries and nine ministers arrived, except Xu Jingchang, the general envoy, who did not come.

Xu Yi was stunned for a while, but nodded obediently.

When Yao Guangxiao heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Young Master, you are really a little scoundrel. I asked you to pay attention to Duke Qi's mansion. As for anything else, I didn't say anything. Now you want to frame me.

, we also need to put it in black and white and provide evidence."

Yao Guangxiao, who was next to him, coughed lightly and said: "Xu Tongzheng, there is a saying that all grace for deposing comes from above. In any case, this matter should be decided by His Majesty himself, but you went beyond His Majesty and gave and received privately with the Duke of Qi. You can't even do this."

You can do all kinds of things, I really don’t know what you will do in the future."

"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!" Sheng Yong was so excited that he prostrated on the ground and kowtowed.

As soon as he met Zhu Di, he said with a dark face: "Xu Jingchang, do you know your guilt?"

The conclusion was handed in. After reading it, Zhu Di approved it very much.

Xu Jingchang knew very well that Zhu Di used Sheng Yong's case to win over the former generals under Jianwen's command, and also the old troops of Huaixi nobles.

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and glanced at the calm old monk next to him. Denial was definitely useless.

After Zhu Di finished explaining, he had Wang Qin escorted and left in a hurry, as if he came to question him because he wanted this person.

Not long after, Licheng Hou Shengyong arrived at the palace. Far away, he threw himself on the ground and kowtowed.

In addition, Zhu Di also issued a separate edict. Although Xu Huizu was stubborn, he was loyal and was the Queen of Zhongshan King. He held the gold medal for immunity from death, so he pardoned the death penalty and ordered him to go to the cemetery of King Zhongshan to stay in mourning.

, reflect on yourself.

Why is Zhu Di here again?

He could only put down the fishing rod and bring Zhu Di in.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said: "Leave Wang Qin to me, but don't mention this matter again in the future. The most important thing now is to recuperate and make up for the shortfall in the national treasury. As an envoy, you are not allowed to cheat and be honest.

Work hard and use your intelligence and energy on the right path."

"What crime? You dare to ask me? I ask you, where did you take Wang Qin's confession? Why didn't I see it?" Zhu Di said angrily: "Don't say you didn't catch Wang Qin.

"

The next day, he went to the General Affairs Department. Xu Jingchang called Wu Shan and gave him a few instructions. Wu Shan's eyes widened immediately.

"My lord, the Duke is finally out of death row, he is alive!" Xu Yi shed tears in one eye, feeling quite emotional in his heart. When he saw Xu Jingchang entering the court as an official, there was no news about Xu Huizu, and he still thought he was a cold and indifferent person.

Well, I don't want to plead for my uncle.

Even if you give Chen Ying 10,000 courage, he would not dare to call a deer a horse.

Sheng Yong was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "Old minister, it's a death sentence, a death sentence!"

"Yes, the guilty minister is willing." Sheng Yong replied simply: "I am old and foolish, and I will bring humiliation to myself by resisting the king's master. Your Majesty is magnanimous and can spare the guilty minister, and the guilty minister is willing to do the hard work of a dog and a horse."

Xu Jingchang was slightly startled, "Your Majesty, I, what crime do you have?"

In less than a day, the case was clearly investigated.

Even if Xu Huizu survives, Xu Jingchang will have the final say in the Xu family.

Zhu Di encouraged him a few more words before letting Sheng Yong go down.

After consultation, the Third Division decided to order the arrest of Wang Qin, and at the same time ordered the army to release the captured women and not to disturb the people.

The release of Xu Huizu is a matter of course and there is no need to be too excited.

"Your Majesty is here. Your Majesty is here with Master Yao."

Why don't you go fishing and relax your mood... He grabbed the fishing rod and was about to walk outside, when Xu Yi suddenly ran over again.

Zhu Di was overjoyed and said, "Very good. I remember that you were granted the title of Marquis of Licheng. This title remains unchanged. But you seem to have the title of General Pingyan?"

Zhu Di was speechless for a while. Indeed, this result was what Zhu Di hoped for most.

"Your Majesty, I gave my mouth to Duke Qiu Fu of Qi State." Xu Jingchang said calmly.

Wang Qin of a hundred households robbed the wives of soldiers under Sheng Yong's command, and Sheng Yong helped to get them back, which was natural. Wang Qin held a grudge and falsely accused Sheng Yong, which led to the trial of the three divisions.

"Go and invite General Hou Sheng of Licheng."

"Why pick him up?" Xu Jingchang said: "He is still a criminal. Please tell me that your family should not send anyone over casually."

Mountain-like pressure all fell on Chen Ying. He looked around and saw that His Royal Highness the King of Han had not come. Qi Duke Qiu Fu had not come. He was alone facing so many important officials in the court.

Xu Jingchang silently calculated that his uncle was fine, and Sheng Yong was fine too. He used Wang Qin's confession to induce Qiu Fu without revealing it, and shocked Qiu Fu. He could do this quietly, which was indeed a relief.

"Xu Yi, are the shed and pots and pans I asked you to prepare ready?"

But Xu Yi didn't expect that Xu Huizu would escape death after handling Sheng Yong's case. He couldn't figure out the joints, but thinking about it, the young master must have put in a lot of effort.

But Wang Qin was so frightened that before the trial, he fled out of fear of guilt and disappeared.

Xu Jingchang gritted his teeth, "Master Yao, do you think I didn't hold anything back? Although the confession was given to Duke Qi, Wang Qin is still in my hands. He can hand it over to His Majesty now for interrogation. When the time comes, Duke Qi will

It will become clear how serious a crime you have committed."

Xu Yi was startled for a moment and said hurriedly: "Everything is ready. Do you need to pick up the Duke..."

Zhu Di chuckled and sneered, "Very good, just admit it. Since ancient times, the greatest evil has been to form cliques for personal gain and collude with each other. If you concealed your crime for Qiu Fu, what crime should you be guilty of?"

Without black and white words, nothing you say is of any use.

Then Zhu Di sent an order to release Ping An and other six generals who were still in prison. They temporarily returned home to live in peace and await their appointment.

"Now I finally know that your majesty's imperial ambition truly encompasses all nine states and has blessed all over the world. I am so heartbroken that I still want to repay God's kindness." Sheng Yong burst into tears with emotion.

He originally thought that he was destined to die. No matter what, he would not survive. As a result, Zhu Di not only did not kill him, but also retained his title. He also gave him the title of General Mingwei. With the power of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty really loved him.

Xu Jingchang thought for a long time and vaguely knew what Zhu Di was thinking, but he couldn't get involved.

Xu Jingchang was so angry that I would use my elbows, ribs, and jar of wine to add insult to injury to you, the old bald ass?

"Your Majesty, it was Master Yao who gave me the idea to capture Wang Qin. He also told me to go to Duke Qi. I don't know anything."

"The guilty minister pays homage to your majesty, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Di smiled again, "How about I change it for you and call it General Mingwei?"

Xu Yi obediently went down to deliver the order.

Xu Jingchang was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. I also understand the holy will and do not want to severely punish meritorious ministers and cause chaos in the court at this time when the Jingnan has just been successful. With your Majesty's wisdom, you should understand that I

I have worked so hard. Now I have saved the Marquis of Licheng and knocked down the arrogance of some people. I have the best of both worlds. I only have merit and no fault."

Zhu Di laughed loudly, came over on his own initiative, pulled up Sheng Yong, looked at the old general, and found that he had deep wrinkles and a haggard face, so he smiled and said: "Don't talk about the past, you are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with it. Just like me.

Like my nephew, he was deceived by the traitor. Now that the traitor has been brought to justice, is the general willing to serve the Ming Dynasty?"

"Isn't it inappropriate to do this?"

Xu Jingchang chuckled and said, "What's wrong? His Majesty asked all ministries and yamen to work seriously. We uphold the holy will and take it for granted. Even if something happens, I will take care of it. What are you afraid of?"

Wu Shan nodded, thinking since you are carrying it, what should I be afraid of?

Later, when other ministries were sending the memorials and pamphlets to the General Affairs Department, they found pieces of paper stuck to the place where they had stacked the memorials.

There are also words on it... Twelve official affairs were submitted to the Ministry of Personnel, 11 were approved by the imperial government, and three were implemented. Twenty-one official affairs were submitted to the Ministry of Household Affairs, all of which were approved by the imperial government, and five were implemented. Seven official affairs were submitted to the Ministry of War, and

There were five imperial approvals, but one was never implemented...

Seeing the words above, the officials who came to deliver the memorial widened their eyes. What do you, General Secretary, mean? How dare you publicly post the affairs of various ministries?

Who gave you the courage?
