Zhu Youxi was in a very bad mood recently. When the urgent report from Beitongzhou came, he was even more shocked. Although the county magistrate was a seventh rank, his death was enough to shock the entire capital.
If the murderer cannot be found, it will inevitably lead to everyone's own danger. If you can kill the county magistrate today, wouldn't you want to kill the prefect and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture tomorrow?
For this matter, Zhu Youzhang suffered from insomnia again.
Since he ascended the throne, he was walking on thin ice, cautious and did not dare to neglect at all. He finally had a bit of prosperity, but the incident in Beitongzhou was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head and cold from the bottom of his feet.
In fact, the entire court also caused some panic. It was originally a few thousand households that were killed, which was difficult to attract attention. After all, scholars and military officers Qu Jing were clearly distinguished. Even if those military officials were close, they would be against the court.
For Gong Gu, it was not a big deal.
But now it's different. The one who died was a magistrate who had passed the imperial examination and died in Wuqing County, a suburb of Beijing. It was only a few dozen miles away from the capital. Even if you were to study, you also commented on these rioters.
The evil deeds were promoted.
So, a panic began to spread. As Zhu Youzhe was worried, since those rebels could assassinate a county magistrate today, why couldn't they assassinate the prefect, Shilang, and Shangshu tomorrow? They could kill people in Wuqing County today. Could they not?
Come to this capital?
Therefore, the officials were all in and out of the way, and the clear discussion was even more in an uproar.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Youting was worried and even summoned the cabinet ministers led by Liu Jian to discuss. Liu Jian and others arrived at Zhengxin Hall, and were speechless for a while. If they were asked to provide disaster relief, they would handle the official documents.
, perhaps it is their strength, but the matter of punishment is not their strength.
Seeing that everyone was not talking, Zhu Youzhang had to smile bitterly and said, "My dear friends, are you really nothing to say?"
Liu Jian thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is to find out the real murderer immediately. Otherwise, if it delays for one more day, the matter will only be more difficult. Alas, although this is just a bloody case, it involves the court.
If this continues, I am afraid that the officials in the capital will no longer be able to help His Majesty with peace of mind to handle government affairs.”
It is said that the real murderer was found, but it is not so easy to find out the real murderer. Zhu Youzhang still remembers that the memorial sent by the military Taoist clearly stated that the magistrate died in his bedroom, and the murderer was like a murderer.
It fell from the sky, which shows that these murderers are all well-trained people, so how could they be taken so easily?
Zhu Youxi sighed and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm afraid this case will be revealed, it's not so easy, hey..."
He sighed and suddenly asked, "I don't know what happened to Liu Chengfeng."
Liu Jian said: "This person is a little anxious and wise. It's better to let him preside over this case."
Zhu Youzhang was worried about Liu Chengfeng's life safety. After all, he was his disciple. Now it seems that these murderers are all over the place and they are inevitably worried. Unexpectedly, Liu Jian understood what he meant wrongly and thought Zhu
Youxi wanted Liu Chengfeng to deal with this matter.
Zhu Youzing smiled faintly, undeniable.
Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Youzhang deeply and said lightly: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng is no better than others, I believe there will be no danger."
Li Dongyang suddenly hit Zhu Youzhang's thoughts. Zhu Youzhang smiled slightly and said, "Maybe." Then Zhu Youzhang said worriedly again: "It's just that the murder case is not thoroughly investigated for a day, and my heart is gone.
I can't let go of it, hey..." I sighed and looked at the cabinet ministers. Everyone looked helpless. How could Zhu Youting not understand in his heart that the name of punishment is not their strength, but he is also two
With a dark look, this kind of thing really makes people feel overwhelmed.
After chatting for a few words, Zhu Youzhang seemed a little restless. After taking a sip of tea, Xie Qian looked at Zhu Youzhang's sick look and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty's body seems to have become worse again. Please pay more attention to rest.
.”
Zhu Youzing just nodded lightly and didn't say anything. This is how his xingzi is. He likes to be serious about everything. It is precisely because of this xingzi that he often has no sleep all night, restlessness, and his body is in a state of mind.
, it will naturally be dragged down.
But although he knew his shortcomings, he was helpless.
Liu Jian was in a bad mood when he looked at Zhu Youzhang like this, but he also knew that if the case was not resolved, what could it be for him to persuade him?
At this moment, a eunuch quickly stepped in and said, "Your Majesty... the memorial sent by the cabinet was handed over by Beitongzhou."
Although the three cabinet masters were in Zhengxin Hall, the cabinet was still running. Zhu Youzhang had already ordered that any memorials from Beitongzhou would be submitted to the palace as soon as possible. When Zhu Youzhang heard the news, he couldn't help but
I wonder, why did the news come so quickly? I just sent the memorial of the county magistrate being stabbed at noon yesterday, and another memorial came early this morning?
He couldn't help but worry again, maybe something happened again...
"Take it." Zhu Youting's tone was a little hoarse, and he stretched out his hand and waited for the eunuch to hand the memorial to his hand. Zhu Youting opened the memorial and looked at it, but was stunned for a moment.
Liu Jian and others were also paying attention to Zhu Youzing's changes at this time, using this to guess the content of the memorial, wanting to know what happened in Beitongzhou, so in this Zhengxin Palace, the sound of silent sounds.
.
"With my husband, Zhou Tai, the governor of the North Tongzhou, bent north, and my emperor is for thousands of years, can you be safe? There is a county magistrate of Wuqing County under my rule..."
Zhu Youting's eyes quickly looked up from top to bottom with lines of words. His face was nervous at first, then shocked, and finally he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh. Then, he put the memorial in his hand and his whole body
Lying on the cushion.
Liu Jian couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, in this memorial..."
Zhu Youzhang interrupted him, became energetic and said, "Good news, the case has been solved!"
This sentence was like a reassurance, which made Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian all expressed surprises.
Zhu Youzing couldn't help but smile and said, "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that the case had been solved for just a few years. This memorial was sent by Zhou Tai, the governor of Beitongzhou. It tells in detail the case. This time, Zhou Tai has
The great achievements were, but Liu Chengfeng also made great contributions. It turned out that the person who killed the magistrate of Zheng County was not the rebellion, but the account room in the mansion. Because he had a relationship with his mistress, he killed someone to silence him. The case was really distant...
”
After Zhu Youzhang said that, he asked someone to hand the memorial to Liu Jian. After Liu Jian read it, he was overjoyed and immediately handed it to Li Dongyang. After Li Dongyang read it, he gave it to Xie Qian.
Xie Qian took the memorial and said slowly: "This Zhou Tai is a Jinshi in the early years of Hongzhi. I remember that I was the invigilator that year. There were thirty-four second-level Jinshis. I didn't expect how many of this person were.
You can share the talents.”
Li Dongyang also remembered: "I have seen him once, but he looks honest and even a little pedantic. I didn't expect that this time, he made such a great contribution."
Zhu Youting's mood suddenly improved. His previous unhappiness disappeared without a trace. However, when they heard the two talk about the benefits of Zhou Tai, they couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. According to what Zhou Tai said, investigate this case.
During the case, Liu Chengfeng made the most efforts. Everyone only talked about Zhou Tai and ignored his disciples. It would be too favourable to be one or the other.
He took a sip of tea and said, "Liu Chengfeng's contribution is also great. At least the case is revealed and I can sleep peacefully."
Xie Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, let alone Liu Qianhu, Zhou Tai is still a good person this time and has good virtues. This time, he has a good evaluation of the Beijing inspection. Now he has made such a contribution.
, Shouldn't it be..."
After that, Xie Qian stopped at the end. After all, what should he do? This is the emperor's business. Xie Qian can only be a counselor, and how to reward it is the emperor's business.
Zhu Youzhang pondered, and he naturally favored Liu Chengfeng in his heart, but Zhou Tai did make a contribution, and it was certain that he had already calculated that he could transfer this person first.
In the middle of the capital, I temporarily go to Dali Temple and try it in the Ministry of Justice.
Doing this is naturally a sign that Zhu Youzhe is very useful.
But Li Dongyang said, "The old minister thinks it is not possible. The rebellion in Beitongzhou has not yet been clarified. Zhou Tai has some ability this time, so it is natural to be promoted to rewards. But it is not now. Since Zhou Tai has the ability, he can temporarily stay in Bei.
Tongzhou Prefecture remains in office. After all, he and Liu Chengfeng are also colleagues. Perhaps they can help Qianhu Institute in the future. It is better to be transferred to the capital after the matter in Beitongzhou is settled in the future."
Zhu Youzing thought Li Dongyang's words were very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Yes, remember this credit for the time being, there is no need to rush to reward, but it is appropriate for the court to encourage him. It is better to issue an imperial edict and praise him.
Let's do it."
"It's so good." People feel refreshed when they are happy, and Liu Jian also speaks much more neatly at this time, and continues: "But is this imperial edict issued by the palace or by the cabinet?"
There are two types of imperial edicts. One is the imperial edict, which means that the emperor bypasses the cabinet and directly issues the edict. This imperial edict represents the emperor's personal attitude and does not seem to be very solemn, but on the other hand, it also represents the emperor's attention.
The second type is naturally the cabinet that the cabinet will make a vote, and then the palace will give the prize. When it is sent back to the cabinet, the cabinet will issue it. This kind of imperial edict represents the attitude of the entire court, but it seems to be too orderly, and
Not unusual.
Zhu Youzing thought for a while: "It's better to pass the order, so that Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Tai will know what I think."
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian did not object and said together: "Your Majesty is wise."
