From inside the gate of the Ministry of Punishment, the officials and soldiers all waited in awe.
On the street outside the Criminal Department, Zhu Houcong sat on a large canvas and looked at the houses in the capital.
Those who can live nearby are naturally not ordinary people.
With Zhu Houcong's temperament, he felt relieved when he left the Forbidden City today. Zhu Houzhao, who ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, always wanted to run away, which is indeed understandable.
What's more, what he faced was the cabinet trio of Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang.
But although Yang Tinghe is the only one in the current cabinet with a transcendent reputation, and Zhu Houcong gave him enough power when he came to the throne, can he really sit back and relax?
After stepping into the gate of the Ministry of Justice, Zhu Houcong concentrated his attention.
Yang Tinghe and others were right in front of them.
Four cabinet ministers, six ministers and nine ministers, as well as the five ministers involved in the case in yesterday's memorial, Wei Bin and other ministers also arrived.
Many people looked at Yang Ting and had the same hatred as them.
Such high positions must be appointed by holy will, but Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Zhang Zilin and others seemed to be weak in power.
But Yang Tinghe had a calm expression. After seeing the driver, he asked for an order: "Your Majesty wants to hear the trial and has all the ministers wait to watch. Can they all line up in the lobby?"
"Prepare some stools and sit on one side of the lobby to listen."
Zhu Houcong was the first to walk into the lobby of the Criminal Department where serious criminals were interrogated. Huang Jin had already prepared the small chair he had brought over.
"Your Majesty will not ascend to the throne?" Zhang Zilin was surprised.
"I will sit here, and the ladies will sit over there."
Zhu Houcong's "throne" is located next to the desk in the secretary's office, which is closer to the door.
The direction he pointed was towards the opposite side.
It does not take up the normal space of the three-law court hearing, and it seems as if you are really just here to listen, rather than sitting condescendingly at the top.
After a period of busy work, many small round stools were moved in.
After all the ministers thanked them again, they sat down one by one.
Zhang Zilin walked towards the presiding position with some anxiety. On both sides of him were the tables and chairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple commissioners.
Xie Changjie secretly glanced at the calm emperor diagonally opposite, making him sit even more condescendingly, but Xie Changjie became uneasy.
"let's start."
Zhu Houcong had just finished his instructions when he saw Zhang Zilin standing up and bending down to ask: "Your Majesty, should I try again like yesterday, or continue the trial?"
"I already know the previous situation, and I will proceed to review it."
Zhang Zilin took the order and sat down. He frowned slightly after asking someone to pick up Jiang Bin.
Moving on to the next trial, a large number of people involved in the case are sitting here. Could it be that His Majesty came to see them confront Jiang Bin?
After looking at Yang Tinghe uneasily, his face was calm.
The lobby was so quiet waiting for Jiang Bin's arrival.
The sound of shackles dragging on the ground grew closer and closer, and a voice shouted outside the door: "Bring the prisoner here!"
"Go to court!"
Zhu Houcong looked sideways.
In the lobby, all the most prominent civil servants in the court were here, and they all turned to look at the door.
In the past, who among them could not worry about Jiang Bin?
Today, he is a prisoner on death row.
It was brighter outside the door, and Jiang Bin's face was hidden in the light.
When he struggled to step over the high threshold, the familiar face became real.
I have lost a lot of weight and my beard and hair are also much whiter.
"Jiang Bin, the sinner, still haven't kowtowed to His Majesty?"
Zhang Zilin stood up first and bowed his hands in the direction of Zhu Houcong.
After Jiang Bin was caught, he was deprived of all his official positions and titles under the decree of Queen Mother Zhang. Now he first looked at the emperor who was sitting calmly in the middle, protected by four imperial guards.
After smiling, he first looked at the old friends opposite Zhu Houcong, especially Yang Tinghe and Wei Bin.
"Bold!" Zhang Zilin clapped the gavel, "If you have no superiority, you deserve death! Come on!"
Zhu Houcong said nothing and watched how they performed.
"I've been labeled as a treasonous minister by you. Isn't it strange that you still have your eyes on your Majesty?" Jiang Bin seemed to be very amused, "I am sincerely afraid that if I kowtow to Your Majesty, I will avoid death and protect my relatives? Today, all the gentlemen have finished.
It should be the last time that I can see my old acquaintances. People who are about to die know that they have nothing to say. Your Majesty can only ask if you have any questions, and the guilty people will tell you the truth."
After he finished speaking, he faced Zhu Houcong, knelt down with difficulty and saluted, and then sat on the ground in his comfortable position.
Zhu Houcong continued with a calm face.
Zhang Zilin was shocked: "Kneel down and listen to the trial! Jiang Bin, the three courts will conduct a trial. How dare you despise the court like this?"
"Da Si Kou, you have already suffered all kinds of hardships, why are you still clinging to these superficial words?" Jiang Bin replied tiredly and lazily, "Your Majesty is here, not to see the Three Laws Division kill the mighty stick, but to try the case quickly.
Bar."
Liang Chu looked at Yang Tinghe and saw that he was still calm, just like His Majesty opposite.
Zhang Zilin was secretly angry: This is the court where he is presiding over the trial, and the prisoners are so arrogant. If the trial is really carried out as he wants, will he lose the majesty of the Minister of Punishment?
This guy, armed with a gun and a stick, said that Your Majesty did not come to see the killing stick of the Sanfa Division. His heart is to be punished!
"Your Majesty." He stood up and asked for the order, "The prisoners are unruly and unruly. If they are forced to kneel down to listen to the trial, they will frighten the emperor..."
"The fire from the Sun Jing Sect didn't even scare me." Zhu Houcong said calmly, "Just how you should be tried."
The ground was thundering, and Yang Tinghe finally changed his expression.
It seems that if you just say that you should be punished, you will be punished, and the emperor will not be afraid.
Then what are you talking about about the Sun Jing Sect?
Jiang Bin's eyes suddenly became sharper and he looked directly at Zhu Houcong.
Those are not a pair of eyes that should belong to a fifteen-year-old boy.
"The fire of the Rijing Sect... haha." Jiang Bin, who had just heard about this, tsked in a low voice, then moved his feet and knelt down, "Your Majesty has a lot of things to do, so it's better not to bother the great commander. Just ask."
Zhang Zilin sat down with a sullen face.
If the emperor were not here, the water and fire stick would have greeted him long ago. Since he has no official status, how dare he not kneel when he goes to court to hear the trial?
But now, it is hard to forcefully kill him with such a lazy attitude.
He lowered his head and looked at the file on the case in front of him, and stared at Jiang Bin: "Yesterday you confessed that Liang Cixuan, the son of the great scholar Liang Chu, of the Jinyiwei Baihu family, once led his troops to massacre him because of a dispute over land with Yang Duan, a wealthy businessman in Nanhai County.
There are more than 200 people in the Yang family and their neighbors. You once accepted a bribe of 5,000 taels of silver from Liang Chu to help him cover up the case, and Liang Ci was only sentenced to be sent to the frontier. Is that true?"
"Yes." Jiang Bin smiled and looked at Liang Chu, "Mr. Liang Ge, yes or no?"
Among the ministers, Liang Chu's eyes dimmed and he pinched the glossary in his sleeve.
Zhu Houcong's face remained calm.
"You also confessed that when Tang Majiu rebelled, the commander-in-chief you recommended killed good people and took credit for it. It was you who donated forty-seven good houses in the capital to Wang Qiong, the then Secretary of the Ministry of War. Only then did you fulfill your wish.
.The crime of killing good soldiers and taking advantage of merit has not yet been brought to justice, right or wrong?"
"Yes. I have said it before. A dying person will tell you everything he knows. Da Sikou is bold enough to ask. Everything he said yesterday is true. Let's ask something new."
Among the ministers, Wang Qiong did not dare to look at Zhu Houcong's face, but there was an earl of the Fifth Prefecture who was sitting on pins and needles.
Zhu Houcong's face remained calm.
The two living assistants were also listening, and Yan Song looked at Zhu Houcong worriedly.
If you dare to present it to the emperor and ask this question face to face, then I am afraid that the evidence is indeed conclusive.
If Liang Chu, Wang Qiong and more were convicted of this, and those who were promoted to official positions would be demoted, the court in Beijing would unstoppably gather towards Yang Tinghe.
Zhang Zilin took a deep breath, stood up again and saluted Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, if the trial continues, it is time to ask the colleagues involved in the case to rebut and provide evidence."
Zhu Houcong's face was still calm.
He nodded: "Isn't this all here? I have said, how to judge, how to judge."
I recommend Ji Chada’s new book "The Book of Troubled Times": With a sword in the rivers and lakes, a wine shop, with a slender waist and lightness in the palms.
