I am the king of the dead

Chapter 410 How to systematically bully the emperor
The death of Xie Jin was due to his private visit to the prince Zhu Gaochi, and the death of Ji Gang was due to getting too close to the King of Han.

When it comes to the struggle for imperial power, it is not what these courtiers should be involved in.

Hu Yan took a sip of tea and looked at Ke Qian, who was still in fear. This young man who had just entered the officialdom was dumbfounded by the current situation of weddings and funerals.

"Then since it doesn't involve the imperial power, why did the courtiers impeach Lu Zhong?" Ke Qian asked a little confused.

Hu Yan said with a smile: "Because Lu Zhong is too professional."

"Ah?" Ke Qian was a little confused. What does this have to do with Lu Zhong's major?

Hu Wei looked at Ke Qian, who still didn't quite understand, and simply explained, "Lu Zhong's handling of this matter is a bit rough. Lu Zhong has always been known for his meticulousness. They can find their way to silver.”

"This case is not a big one. Lu Zhong probably didn't take it seriously. He felt that there would be a criminal department and a Dali Temple anyway, so there would be a total of three investigations. Anyway, there was no rush, so he was busy with other things."

"This is the principle that if you don't keep secrets, you will lose your reputation, and if you don't keep secrets, you will suffer."

Hu Yu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Ke Qian who still didn't understand, and said helplessly: "How should I put it, these court officials today are far from what they used to be."

"How did Dou Jigang fight during the Yongle period? How could it be possible to overthrow Lu Zhong with these fighting methods today?"

There are many cruel officials in Yongle, such as Ji Gang, Ma Lin, Ding Jue, Qin Zhengxue, Zhao Wei, Li Fang, Chen Ying and other cruel officials. They are all cruel officials. How did they fight in Yongle?

It is to let them float up to the sky by themselves, without looking at the rules and regulations, and then wait until the cruel officials have passed the threshold that the emperor can tolerate, and then swarm up.

Ji Gang, Chen Ying, Li Fang, and Ma Lin were all overthrown in this way.

These are the emperor's favorite ministers, and they are also cruel officials.

Because of the emperor's favor, these cruel officials have great power in their hands, and they can meet the emperor at any time. Because they are deeply trusted by the emperor, they will feel that their power comes from themselves, and then send themselves to a dead end.

This is the way fighting should be.

But after Yongle, the Wenchen family dominated, and even the British Duke Zhang Fu was not allowed to go to court. They gradually forgot how to fight cruel officials.

When he caught this little mistake, he was ecstatic and wanted to punish Lu Zhong...

This matter is breaking the sky, at most it is Lu Zhong's ineffective handling of the case, not to mention that Jin Yiwei is still investigating twice or three times.

If you really want to do something, at the very least, you should at least wait until Zhang Fugui is murdered before being impeached.

Hu Wei didn't know what to say. Was this fighting style going to defeat Lu Zhong, or remind Lu Zhong to be careful and careful in everything?
Hu Wei sighed, a civil official who can't even use official fighting skills well, when did the civil official of the Ming Dynasty become so lazy...

Even if it is not possible, can you flip through the book?
Let's see how Yongle Wenchen fought against the cruel officials?
Take a look at how to make every step of the way, how to make progress, how to make cruel officials and powerful officials become arrogant and lawless little by little?
Playing hard to get?Will Zhuge Liang capture Meng Huo seven times?

Lu Zhong was His Majesty's number one eagle dog, he was reluctant to release him even when he went out of Beijing to handle cases, he kept it at hand for killing people, this group of people fought against Lu Zhong, unexpectedly they went directly to it so hastily.

"reckless"

Hu Yan is really a little bit, hard to say.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty really had a broken lineage, and even the most basic official fighting skills couldn't bear to look directly at them.

Hu Yi had read Li Binyan's memoirs, and the six ranks of the world were classified very well.

In the highest sequence of the sixth rank, the sixth rank, even the civil servants' dog fights seemed to be advancing and retreating with limits. The civil servants were tacitly combined together, not rushing for a while, not rushing about one thing, advancing slowly, and finally achieved their goals.

But in the fifth and fourth ranks, there are all kinds of people, monsters and monsters, even officials fighting with dogs, without the slightest sense of beauty at all.

No wonder Wang Wen was too lazy to stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He would rather go to Wenyuan Pavilion to be a secretary than hang out with Fengxian officials.

Ke Qian asked a lot, and finally left the Ministry of Rites. He understood a lot of truths, but he couldn't explain clearly what he understood.

Just like Liu Ji doesn't understand those principles, it takes time to settle.

Ke Qian soon saw His Majesty's response.

His Majesty decreed that the three judiciaries should jointly hear the case.

The three jurisprudence joint trials, that is, "officials on the court" - including the minister of the Ministry of punishment, the minister of the left and right, the censor of the left and the right of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the censor of the left and right deputy, the censor of the left and the right, the minister of Dali Temple, the Shaoqing of the left and right, and the censor of the left and right. Sicheng, the commander of Jinyiwei, and the case handlers were sentenced to Qianhu.

Yu Shiyue was sitting in the yamen of Shuntian Mansion, looking at the left and right Du Yushi, Deputy Du Yushi, and Qiandu Yushi who were sitting in the audience, she just couldn't get angry.

He still has a lot going on there!
The Ministry of Punishment has been supervising the sale of indulgences recently, and has been too busy to make a fortune in the name of His Majesty. Is there any law? !

And if you really want to investigate the cruel official Lu Zhong, you have to do it slowly, and you have to make Lu Zhong bite like a mad dog like a mad dog.

Yu Shiyue said in a vibrating voice: "Ascension to the hall! Bring someone into prison!"

When Zhang Fugui was brought into the Yamen, he was stupefied. Under the mirror hanging high, he saw a group of officials with beasts embroidered on their chests sitting on both sides. He was so scared that he almost fainted. Nod!What is this for?
As for?
He just couldn't steal, killed someone unintentionally, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, he was only hanged, is this going to sentence Ling Chi?
Hao Ren obviously didn't know that the matter had been revealed, so he also knelt in front of the hall.

When the two criminals were brought to the hall, they didn't know the progress of the case.

Yu Shiyue continued: "Bring witnesses."

The owner of the pawn shop and Hao Ren's neighbors were also brought to the front of the hall.

Zhang Fugui soon realized that he didn't kill anyone. He did push, but Mrs. Hao just fell down.

This discovery made Zhang Fugui feel lucky.

Lu Zhong sat up straight and said, "Jin Yiwei still has a witness card, bring it up!"

After Zhang Fugui escaped, Mrs. Hao was checking to see if her jade pendant was still there. Hao Ren ran out of money to gamble, so he went home to get the money, quarreled with Mrs. Hao, snatched the jade pendant, and got it as a pawn from the pawn shop.

After pawning, Hao Ren went to gamble.

Lu Zhong had doubts about Hao Ren, and the case itself had doubts. He himself was investigating, and Ke Qian was almost behind him, and he caught new evidence.

Where did Hao Ren take the money to gamble?
Lu Zhong rummaged through several gambling houses that Hao Ren often visited, and finally found the place where Hao Ren gambled. Hao Ren took more than 70 taels of silver to gamble that day.

The casino asked Hao Ren where the money came from, and Hao Ren said that he had become a family heirloom jade pendant.

When the matter came to an end, Hao Ren rolled his eyes and argued loudly, "I didn't. I just took the jade pendant from home to gamble. I didn't kill anyone!"

Yu Shiyue checked the chain of evidence, and there was indeed no evidence to prove that Hao Ren killed someone.

The matter reached an impasse.

Lu Zhong smiled and said nothing, Feng Xian's officials were also a little sluggish, Ke Qian was not honest in handling the case, he didn't collect all the evidence!

All the evidence can't point out that Hao Ren killed someone, but Zhang Fugui did not kill anyone.

"Zhang Fugui attempted to steal, this can be sentenced. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Fugui will go to Xishan Coal Mine to do hard labor for one year." Yu Shiyue first sentenced Zhang Fugui, who had completely cleared his grievances, to hard labor.

Zhang Fugui was released from the shackles of the death row prisoner, and shouted with excitement on his face: "Master Xie Qingtian, Mr. Xie Qingtian!"

Zhang Fugui was already waiting to die, could anyone come out of the Jinyiwei prison alive?
He is alive!
"Thank you, Master Qingtian." Zhang Fugui kowtowed again, and walked out of Shuntian Mansion, jumping three feet high.

Going to do hard labor, why jump around?

Going to the Xishan Coal Mine to do hard labor, although it was a bit hard for a year, but doing hard labor and taking care of the food also saves you from stealing things.

If he did a better job, he might be able to stay in the Xishan Coal Wells Division and become a kiln worker in an official factory, which would be a good thing.

The salary in the Xishan Coal Kiln is very good. If you want to enter the kiln, even if the money is useless, you must have craftsman skills.

This year, although it is hard, but if you learn the craft, you will also become a rank of artisans from wandering people.

Of course Zhang Fugui was elated.

"Chen Zongxian, what should we do with this case?" Lu Zhong had the winning ticket, and he still had evidence.

Ke Qian didn't finish the case because he didn't know what to do.

But Lu Zhong is a professional commander of Jinyiwei, so he certainly knows how to find evidence to convict Hao Ren.

Is Chen Yi the advocator for the impeachment of Lu Zhong this time?

Actually not.

Recently, Chen Yi has been applying to go to Nanya to be the governor's nomination officer. Last time, he and His Majesty were in a bad position because of the Nanzhili incident. Chen Yi has been thinking about how to make up for it.

Besides, if Chen Yi wants to attack Lu Zhong, he can't be so hasty.

In fact, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are very powerful, no matter Xu Youzhen, Chen Yi, Wang Wen, etc., even if they are the chief constitution, they can't control the officials under them.

Chen Yi looked at the official in the hall, and said loudly: "You guys just talk about how to deal with this case!"

A group of rotten fish and rotten shrimps, no wonder Wang Wen went to be the secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, this group of guys can't move at all!

Lu Zhong looked at their dejected looks, and said with a smile: "Yu Shangshu, Jin Yiwei still has criminals and physical evidence, bring them up!"

Jin Yiwei's second investigation was extremely efficient. Not only did they find Hao Ren stealing the jade pendant as a pawn for gambling, but they also found evidence against Hao Ren.

The first is the witness, Hao Ren's sister, Hao Shi.

The Hao family was a bit yin and yang. After the death of Mr. Hao, the Hao family was always headed by Mrs. Hao. Hao Ren's sister ran around to maintain the business. Renbai started his family three times in a row, almost implicating the whole family.

Hao Ren's sister witnessed the quarrel between Hao Ren and Mrs. Hao, and also saw Hao Ren's embarrassment when he was at a loss and ran for the road with the jade pendant.

It didn't take much for Lu Zhong to convince Hao Ren's sister to go to the county government to testify.

There is another key piece of evidence, which is Hao Ren's clothes. After Hao Ren knocked Mrs. Hao down the other day, he was so frightened that he hugged her. There were blood stains on the clothes. Hao Ren threw away the clothes at that time.

But Hao Ren's sister stayed behind.

Hao Ren still wanted to deny it, but the evidence was solid and he finally pleaded guilty.

Yu Shiyue sat up straight, patted the gavel, and said in a vibrating voice, "Killing someone for a fight ends in hanging. Killing a respected relative for a son will be punished until Ling Chi. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the criminal Hao Ren should be executed by Ling Chi."

"Yu is not talented, and leads the inscription."

"Retire!"

Yu Shiyue stood up and left in a hurry. Yu Shiyue is the Duke of the Six Departments of Ming Dynasty, and he has a lot of things to do. In such a case, does he need to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?
Aren't they some fools, making a fuss?

If Yu Shiyue hadn't understood the case, he would have thought that His Majesty had given the bait and finally caught the fish.

Lu Zhong didn't stand up, but sat on the seat of Dama Jindao, and said with a smile: "We are a rough man, whatever His Majesty asks, Lu Zhong will do."

"Your Majesty holds the Jinyiwei and makes some people restless. Isn't it just to share the power in His Majesty's hands?"

"I think this matter, even if I can't kill Lu Zhong, it can make Jin Yiwei's authority less."

"But you Minggongs, it's not that Lu looks down on your tricks. What's the use of killing me, Lu Zhong?"

"Your Majesty still has twelve Tianzi Tiqi in his hand. If I die, someone will take over immediately."

"Minggongs, be careful in what you do in the future, I'm watching you!" Lu Zhong nodded his eyes with two fingers, and then nodded at the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate present.

In these words, it was not a threat at all, but telling them clearly that Lu Zhong was a cruel official with a narrow mind.

Lu Zhong is a common man, he just likes to see these censors who are out of their minds.

"Hahaha!" Lu Zhong stood up and said with a long smile, "Let's go."

The commander of the Jinyiwei took two Jinyiwei to punish Qianhu and left.

At this time, Hu Wei was playing chess with His Majesty, which was just ordinary chess, and Hu Wei couldn't push the chess board with soldiers.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "If Hu Shangshu came to do this, what would he do? I mean killing Lu Zhong."

Lu Zhong had just returned to Juxian Pavilion from the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, when he heard such words, he was so frightened that everyone was dumbfounded.

As soon as the chess piece in Hu Wei's hand stopped, he thought for a while and knew what His Majesty was asking.

His Majesty is asking about the methods of civil servants, and Hu Yan has gone through the Six Dynasties, what kind of ghosts and ghosts has he not seen?
"It's hard to kill Lu Zhong just because of this incident, it's just a small case." Hu Wei continued and said in a low voice: "If you want to kill Lu Zhong, it's not impossible."

A stupid civil servant can't kill him, but what is Hu Shangshu going to do?

"Oh? What should I do?" Zhu Qiyu asked curiously.

Hu Wei thought for a while and said: "First of all, hide all the witnesses and material evidence, let Jin Yiwei make this case an iron case, and blame Zhang Fugui for killing."

"After Zhang Fugui is dead, bring out all the witnesses and material evidence, review the case, and convict Hao Ren to death but not kill him."

"At this time, find a censor and come out and say that Jin Yiwei didn't complain about killing, and pleaded for Lu Zhong and asked for Hao Ren's life."

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback, and asked strangely: "Isn't this going to kill Lu Zhong? Why did you plead for Lu Zhong?"

Hu Yan said with a smile: "This is the beauty."

"If your majesty just goes down the donkey, then your majesty is a faint king, and then arranges all the officials to face the sky, crying bitterly at the palace gate, the court is dark and dishonest, if it is impossible to die, then Lu Zhong will undoubtedly die."

"If His Majesty insists on killing Hao Ren, the Jinyiwei is at fault, and the Jinyiwei has created an unjust, false and erroneous case, disregarding human life. Please ask His Majesty to order. Even if His Majesty does not kill Lu Zhong and pay for his life, some of the functions of the Jinyiwei will have to be reduced."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Then if I kill Hao Ren, Lu Zhong can still survive."

Hu Mei smiled and said, "I haven't finished my words yet."

"At that time, if His Majesty chooses the latter, buy one or two middle-ranking officials, say a few eccentric words in front of His Majesty, kill Lu Zhong, change the court to subside the criticism, and the power of Jin Yiwei will not diminish, and this will be done. .”

Lu Zhong is already numb, who can survive such a shameful person? !

Zhu Qiyu nodded, who can withstand such a combination of punches?He nodded and said: "As long as the unjust, false and wrong cases are made, I can only kill Lu Zhong to keep Jin Yiwei's authority."

Hu Yan said with a smile: "Your Majesty just thought wrong."

"If His Majesty kills Lu Zhong, people in Jinyiwei's yamen will immediately be overwhelmed. At that time, without courtiers fighting, His Majesty will reduce Jinyiwei's authority, because they are no longer absolutely loyal."

Zhu Qiyu immediately figured out how to guarantee Jin Yiwei's absolute loyalty after killing Lu Zhong. Once Jin Yiwei became disloyal, the emperor would naturally cut Jin Yiwei's authority.

During the Hongwu period, Jin Yiwei became weak after the Lanyu case. After Ji Gang's death, Jin Yiwei's sharp knife became blunt.

"Back then, that's how you bullied Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen." Zhu Qiyu was filled with emotions, really shameful.

"Your Majesty, who is the most important thing to realize such a thing?" Hu Yan ate His Majesty's river pawn.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked, "Who?"
