Chapter 164 The Grand Trial in Beijing (6)
Section 164: Beijing Zhongzhong Grand Review (6)
When he returned to the Military Affairs Office, several people sat withered for a long time. The more Zhu Guangdi thought about it, the less he felt. "Come on! I want to ask the emperor to raise the sign."
"Donald Xing, it's time,..." Yi called his words and said, "Why wait for tomorrow?"
Zhu Guangdi hesitated for a moment, "Prince, Mr. Zhu has been favored by the emperor for many years. Now he has been in the military office, but he cannot share his worries for the emperor. Those who are ministers are nothing more than today's shame; no! I want to hand over the sign and ask the emperor to take it back and make his life!"
It was already dark, and Zhu Guang insisted first, and finally Sula handed the sign in. The emperor didn't seem to have thought of it, so he asked a few words, nodded slowly, "Let him in."
Entering the warm pavilion of the Yangxin Hall, the emperor had not had enough food yet, rubbed his eyelids and said slowly, "It's so late, what do you want to say when you hand in the sign?"
"The emperor has been unable to decide the case for Yang Naiwu for a long time, but the sage will make arbitrary decisions, and I think it is not possible."
"oh?"
"Emperor, Yang Naiwu, who is Gebi? He is a poor and humble student. He is a profession in the county. He has been studying for many years but cannot be cautious and self-control. There are many things that are depressed and depressed. How can I answer the preface? Not to mention that Gebi is an ominous person. How can I get close to the real dragon?" Zhu Guangdi said, "And the emperor is busy with all kinds of affairs every day and has frequent national affairs. If he asks about these two people personally, I am afraid that the people in the village will think that the Long Live Master is like the county master and will ask the case personally! If you spread it, I may have defilement of the holy virtue."
The emperor was amused and raised his lips slightly, but finally turned into a sigh, "Do you think I want it? I am fifty years old and I am using military forces for Japan all day long and providing relief to various provinces. I am so busy that I am so busy... Alas!"
"The emperor said this, so I am ashamed of myself! Since I was ordered to take charge of the Ministry of Justice, I have made no achievements, and have made great mistakes today. I cannot escape the crime of being in prison, so I ask the emperor to deal with it."
"What am I going to do with you? Will I still not know your difficulties?" He said with a smile, "This matter will be discussed after the Zhejiang Governor and others arrive in Beijing."
When the decree arrived in the province, Yang Changjun began to feel a little panicked. According to the customs of the court, anyone who had such a thing would never make a big fuss, but should do it secretly. This is not only to protect the good, but also to take into account the face of the court and leave some face for officials from top to bottom. However, this time, it is obvious that the situation is already very critical.
This is not counting. There is a saying in the will that he "has resisted several times from the imperial edicts." In the eyes of others, such words are disrespectful to the imperial edict, which is a serious crime that is enough to behead!
The emperor did not hesitate to write such words in his will, which shows that he was extremely angry!
Even if Yang Changjun is like this, Chen Lu, Liu Xitong, and Chen Hu were even more anxious all day long. The Zhejiang garrison general named Yuan Laibao, who was a bannerman. He brought a candidate magistrate named Wu to Yuhang County. Liu Xitong was dismissed from the official duties of the investigation and had to be handed over to him in person.
Seeing the old man's face turned pale, Yuan Laibao felt a little reluctant. He had to say a few words to comfort him, saying that he was only temporarily dismissed and asked him to go to Beijing to see the result of the coffin and autopsy with his own eyes. It was not that he was investigated by the case, so he can rest assured.
This is a comforting statement, so naturally he just needs to stabilize him. The acting magistrate was very polite and asked his family to continue living in the county government office and find another mansion. However, the sealer had to be caught immediately. He took the matter on the same day and fired a cannon and sent him to the hall to post the red notice of receiving the seal. Then he sent a letter to the imperial court and the ritual room to explain two official tasks, one was to explain Ge Pinlian's corpse coffin; the second was to take care of Chen Hu.
Before the case was settled, Ge Pinlian's corpse coffin had never been buried. It was explained that it would be sealed first. Four seals were sealed with Yuhang County, and Yuan Laibao personally monitored them. The mud was pasted on the joint between the lid and the body of the coffin. At the same time, the officers and green camp soldiers were sent to take turns to guard it. This was something that had never happened before, and Yuhang County immediately caused a sensation. The winery and tea shops all used this as the topic. Although the result was still unknown, it was already a sound of praise for the wise and encouraging.
Soon, another problem arose. The season entered mid-September, and the dry season in the south of the Yangtze River entered the dry season. The coffin was bulky and inconvenient to transport. He had no choice but to report to the province. The acting governor Lu Dingxun asked Beijing in the form of a telegram, and instead went to Shanghai and entered Beijing by sea.
So they went to Tianjin and entered Beijing. Several people treated Chen Caiquan and Chen Hu to the Ministry of Justice. Liu Xitong and a candidate named Wang who accompanied him stayed in the inn. They sent officers and soldiers to ask them to take a boat back, but the only heavy corpse coffin was a bit difficult to deal with.
The coffin is not allowed to be entered in Beijing. In addition to the coffin, there is no case for the prince. Even if he dies outside the capital, he is not allowed to be carried into the city (there is no special order). The king had to go to the Zhejiang Department of the Ministry of Justice again to talk to Weng Zenggui and Gangyi.
Although these two people have high positions and are of great power, they have no idea about this matter. They looked at each other for a while and could not give him a clear answer.
"Brother, I know, the Ministry of Justice cannot find a place for you. When encountering such a case of review by the Ministry, as usual, I will notify Daxing and Wanping to handle the matters." Gangyi was not as pedantic as Weng Zenggui. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your brother has to help with all the prefectures along the way. You can find a local official first. If you can't do it, then you will find a way. How about it?"
"What the masters have taught me is, but I have an idea, which is also for the convenience of the Ministry of Justice in the future. Please give me advice."
"Yes, yes." Weng Zenggui said politely, "Please give me advice."
"I would like to ask first, will all the adults from the Ministry of Justice come to the scene on the day of the coffin opening and inspection?"
"Of course, all six officials from the headquarters will be present for the Qin murder case." Weng Zenggui said, "Not only these people, I heard that the emperor also has to come to the trial a few days ago. Think about it, how many people are there?"
The king nodded frequently when he heard this, "Then, after the inspection, was it time to be tried?"
"Yes, I'll be interrogated at that time."
"Since that's the case, we have to find a big place. Please think about the six officials, namely the six officials, and the officials in charge of the department. The place is small and cannot be turned on. Moreover, there are many criminals in this case. In addition, there are also casing inspections, maybe a stove must be installed and steamed bones must be placed in a cage. How big is that place?"
"Yes, yes, your man said very well."
"Also, this case was aroused in Zhejiang for a while, and some people were inquiring along the way. When the Ministry of Justice re-examination, there will definitely be countless people watching the fun. Therefore, this place is not only small inside, but also empty outside, so that many people watching the fun can accommodate."
What Wang Daoist said was very reasonable. After Weng Zenggui and Gangyi consulted the department, he issued a series of "notes" from the two counties to explain the situation and asked them to find a spacious place immediately so that the coffin can be opened for inspection, and the Ministry of Justice will conduct a large-scale trial, and a limited report will be made within two days.
The next day, there was a result and he chose Haihui Temple outside Chaoyang Gate. The Ministry of Justice sent a commander to check the joints of the coffin everywhere, without any abnormalities. Fang Yu accepted it and sent it to the guards of Daxing County.
Yang Changjun, Chen Lu, Hu Ruilan, and Bian Baocheng entered Beijing. Although they had been dismissed, they were still free to move. Moreover, Yang Changjun thought that he was a provincial official after all, and he had to show his leisurely attitude to prove that he had a clear conscience.
Staying in the mansion, I took two speakers out of the mansion that night and headed straight to Su Mansion in Erliang Hutong.
Su Shun was not afraid of people's words, so he opened the door to welcome guests and extended him to the main hall to sit down. "Old Zhongtang..." Yang Changjun said, "Shi Quan has been taught by the old Zhongtang for many years, and has never been forgotten. This time he was summoned to Beijing. He felt that the situation was urgent and did not take the liberty to visit him. He also hoped that the old Zhongtang would save Yang for many years of friendship!"
Su Shun felt embarrassed. He was almost seventy years old and had a weak head. He didn't have as much energy as he had back then. What's more important is that being a minister is the first to do this in ancient times. Therefore, he only thought about starting and ending well, and he was unwilling to cause too much trouble. In the past few days, he had a talk at the Military Affairs Office. He believed that the emperor wanted to make a big move by taking advantage of the reason for the Yang Naiwu case, and the purpose was to target the opposition of the foreign officials on the Japanese war. He wanted to find a few scapegoats to attack!
Especially in Zhejiang, Liangjiang, Zhili, Henan, Lianghu provinces, they did not send troops to participate in the war, or they sent very few soldiers - few soldiers were sent, and other errands such as co-paying and assisting the army were done more, but they were not as good as sending people to fight directly, which made it easy and pleasant! Because of this, the memorials of Yang Changjun, Yulu, Tu Zongying, Pan Shi, Yukuan, Zhang Shusheng and others made the emperor furious!
This time, he caught Yang Changjun's temporary mistake and criticized him. It was precisely because of this. But when Su Shun heard what Yang Changjun said, he seemed not aware of the matter and was still confused about the Yang Naiwu case. He felt a little funny, "Shiquan?"
"The official is here."
"Shiquan, do you know where the most wrong thing this time is?"
Yang Changjun didn't know what his words meant, so he had to answer in a normal manner, "Changjun is always a rude person and has unclear things, which makes Yang's case more complicated and repeated..."
"Shiquan, when I arrived here, why did you think of these official words?"
This is very rude, but Yang Changjun could only smile bitterly, "What the Lord Zhongtang taught me is that Changjun was wrong." He said, "But Changjun thought that although there were untrue things in the trial of this case, Changjun was also often missed, but it only ended here. How could he be dismissed from the position of the Dragon Road and sent to Beijing?"
"Do you think the emperor is too harsh in dealing with you?"
"Changjun dared not."
"Just just listen to you, you will know that you are arrogant. Hum! I don't have to ask others anymore, and I can also imagine how lawless you bully your subordinates when you are in the governor."
Yang Changjun was shocked. He was indeed dissatisfied when he answered correctly, but Su Shun's comment on his words was difficult to convince. However, he must not offend him at the moment. He could only lower his figure and beg softly, "Yes, he always has all kinds of omissions. Today, he has to wake up by the Lord of the Central Hall. He will definitely be careful in his future..."
"Okay!" Sushun interrupted him mercilessly, "Yang Changjun, do you really think that the emperor wants to deal with you for the Yang Naiwu case?"
Yang Changjun was very suspicious. Why did he speak like this? Is the emperor going to deal with him and what other reasons are there?
Su Shun looked at him with a sneer, "On July 16 this year, you submitted a memorial, right? It said, 'The war against Japan will hurt the people's strength; please suspend the marching..." Is it?
"This..." Two months have passed, and Yang Changjun no longer remembers it. After reminding him, he thought about it in his mind for a while, "It's true."
"You, how can you say this?" Su Shun said heartbrokenly, "Using troops in Japan is something the emperor longed for for decades. But you, Shoushan and Langxian, are as beautiful as a few people who are half-informed, and they are obstructing them. Well? You don't think about it. If so many court ministers don't speak, why are you doing too much trouble?"
"...This time, I'm afraid not only will you be in trouble, but Yu Lu and others will be tired of you too!"
Yang Changjun's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he was trembling, "Then... 好好好好, 好好, save me!"
"To this day, I want to save your life, only the Saint Gong! Only when the emperor is moved can you have the hope of survival; but even if you can survive, you don't have to think about getting a size!" Su Shun became more and more angry as he said, and kicked Yang Changjun with a hard kick, "My evil! I was sorry that I recommended that I took office in Zhejiang back then, but now I am tired of you!"
"Changjun has no talent and is unwilling to be kind and forgives his crimes. Please forgive him for kindness and forgive him for kindness and forgive him for kindness! Changjun is willing to donate all his family wealth and serve himself before the army to forgive his past crimes."
"Your words to me are useless, let's see if you can touch the Sacred Heart?"
Sushun handed in the sign alone and reported Yang Changjun's words to the emperor. Sure enough, what he feared the most happened. The emperor just sneered, "Donate money from the family and serve in front of the army? It seems that my reputation for wealth is well known to everyone?" He said, "Sushun, do you think I want to deal with Yang Changjun and others for his money?"
"Of course not! Yang Changjun, a senior official of the court, had a province of bans and did not care about the holy dynasty. Instead, he was alone in his desire and criticized the emperor's actions. That's the case, and he would never pay his respects!"
"Well, Su Shun, Yang Changjun is proud of himself, and he is obscene to my many decrees. In the past, Japan used troops to cooperate with the province to handle the funds and handle the work. The province next to him was fine, but only in Zhejiang Province, which has been delayed for a long time. This time, for the case of Yang Naiwu, I have been repeatedly admonished by me, but I still have no choice but to be rebellious. Think about it, how can such a person be spared?"
Su Shun's mouth felt bitter. He had been working in front of the emperor for many years, and basically he could make a decision. The emperor never explained to himself so much. He knew that Yang Changjun's life would be impossible to save! "Then... Emperor?"
"Yang Changjun must die!" The emperor stood up from the pillow and stared at Sushun. "Sushun, I know that you have been having a good relationship with Yang Changjun for many years. You can tell him all these words directly. I want to deal with him heavily, and I can also give a warning to the governors of various provinces. I dare to be as respectful as Yang Changjun on the surface, but I do not take my words seriously. Then I have a literary and illusory attitude towards me in the use of military service in Japan. No matter who it is, I will not be ruthless. Yang Changjun is a role model!"
"Slaves dare not, and they must not!"
"I forgive you for not daring!" the emperor said coldly, "Sushun, I tell you that you are all luxurious now, and I think it would not be difficult if I wanted to get it back. You must remember it, huh?"
