Ming Dynasty: Hanging out in Beiping as the magistrate. Chapter 249 of the text volume Latest website: Zhu Biao said helplessly, "Father, I have brought those thieves to the capital. Moreover, those thieves have confessed.
.
After a while, I went to court and presented the confession to my father!"
Lao Zhu asked directly: "Where is the confession?"
Zhu Biao was startled and said hurriedly: "Father, this is a court meeting. It is not appropriate to delay the important affairs of the court because of a few thieves. It is better to wait until the next court and deal with this matter slowly!"
Hearing this, Lan Yu and the censors suddenly felt bad.
Lao Zhu said coldly: "In the past two days, the matter of Lao Si has caused a lot of uproar in the capital. Even at the court meeting, all the civil and military officials were filled with indignation, each one more concerned than the other.
In this way, we will directly announce the matter clearly at the meeting, so that the officials will not think about food and tea after going to court, and delay their official duties!"
Zhu Biao was helpless, he still couldn't catch up.
"In this case, please ask my father to pass on Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao State, and Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan!"
"Accurate!"
As Lao Zhu finished speaking, a summons sounded outside the hall.
Soon, Li Jinglong and Cao Zhen hurried in, holding a thick stack of confessions in their hands.
"Weichen Li Jinglong!"
"Weak minister Cao Zhen!"
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Holy Peace!"
"I'm safe! Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Show me your confession!"
"Obey!"
As the two stacks of confessions were slowly presented in front of Lao Zhu, Lan Yu and the censors suddenly became stiff and even trembled a little.
There was dead silence in the entire hall, except for the sound of Lao Zhu opening the confession.
Suddenly, Lao Zhu, who had just read a few pages of confessions, became furious.
"Okay, okay, what a bunch of thieves!"
All the officials could not help but shudder.
Lao Zhu looked at His Highness's officials and said in a cold voice: "Lanyu, Min Renjin, Yin Shi, Yue Ji, Fei Liu! All of you, please come forward and take a closer look. What is written in these confessions, but someone
Are you framed?"
Lan Yu, Yushi Min Renjin, Yin Shi and others suddenly made a loud noise and knelt on the ground trembling.
"Your Majesty, forgive me, it must be those thieves who are framing me!"
"Framed?"
Lao Zhu's face became even colder, "We had something strange at the beginning. You, the dignified Duke of Liang, used to hate Min Renjin and Yin Shi the most, and often opposed them.
I didn’t expect that you would actually join forces with Min Renjin, Yin Shi and other censors in order to frame Lao Si. You are so brave!”
Zhu Biao quickly said: "Father, Duke Liang was also bewitched by those thieves, and that's why he did this wrong thing. Please give me a warning from my father!"
However, the furious Lao Zhu ignored Zhu Biao's explanation and gave the order directly.
"Huh, here comes someone!"
Immediately, a group of Han generals rushed in.
"Bring us some traitorous ministers and interrogate them carefully. As for Lan Yu, he is confined at home and cannot leave the house unless ordered to do so!
Wait until we find out the truth and then punish him..."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Pass an order to the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei, to give us a good interrogation of those thieves brought back by the prince. If they dare to frame the prince of Ming Dynasty and commit the crime of deceiving the emperor, they must be severely punished!"
"Obey!"
As the chamberlain and the Han general left, all the civil and military officials in the entire hall could not help but feel flustered and panicked.
Let those vicious dogs from Jiang Yu investigate. I don’t know how many innocent people will be implicated this time.
……
The meeting dispersed.
Stay in the palace.
Zhu Biao told Lao Zhu in detail what he saw during his several days of inspection in the Peking Mansion.
Lao Zhu also listened very seriously, and the more he listened, the stronger the smile on his face.
"Okay, Guo Taishi's descendants are indeed extraordinary. They actually developed such a magical thing as good rice!
This is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the people...
Biao'er, the good rice you bring back must be grown by the best farmers.
Next year, after the good rice is harvested, we, the people of Ming Dynasty, can also plant those good rice.
In this way, within a few years, the households of the people of Ming Dynasty will be able to harvest hundreds of kilograms more grain every year!"
"Yes, dad..."
"Dad, I also conferred upon those four members of the Guo family the title of Eighth Grade Di Gong Lang!"
"They deserve it!"
"I also awarded Guo Anzheng, a fifth-rank doctor!"
"In a moment, we will go and issue an order. This son Guo An has the style of Guo Taishi!"
Zhu Biao said seriously: "Dad, I think that Guo An's future achievements can completely surpass that of Guo Taishi!"
"Huh?"
Lao Zhu was stunned, "Biao'er, you actually value that Guo An so much?"
"Hmm!"
Zhu Biao nodded seriously, "I have never seen a person in such a state of mind, who usually looks like he has no desires or demands for anything.
However, there is a world of its own in the heart!"
Lao Zhu said: "In this case, we will issue an order soon and transfer him to the capital!"
"Dad, you must not!"
Zhu Biao was startled and said quickly: "Dad, based on my observation, only the fourth child's temperament is suitable for Guo An.
In the capital, the civil and military officials are at odds with each other. When Guo An comes to the capital, he will definitely be framed to death by those officials.
Moreover, the fourth child also relied on Guo An very much and even asked Gao Chi to worship him as his teacher!"
"If so, then let him stay in Peiping!"
Lao Zhu did not continue to press, but continued: "Lanyu framed Lao Si like this, do you know why?"
Zhu Biao said slowly: "Dad, I can guess that firstly, Duke Liang is greedy for money and is bewitched by those merchants and gentry.
