Jingming

Chapter 184

"That Guanshi Jia is really not a remnant of rebels!"

Inside the Renshou Palace, the wife of Marquis Jianchang had a runny nose and tears.

"There was an accident last year. The original steward was afraid of trouble, so the Marquis allowed him to go back to his hometown. This killer surnamed Jia is the one who has been doing errands in the mansion. He was not arranged to handle any major affairs in the Marquis Mansion before. It can't be the remaining party!"

Empress Dowager Zhang just moved the beads so that her hands trembled.

"This killing is because the money is infatuated. He thought he could run away, and was arrested by the Shuntian Mansion within three days. Who knew that he was afraid of crime, but he said that it was the Lord Hou who forced him, and he even slandered the Lord Hou in order to kill him." The mansion cursed His Majesty. Empress Dowager, you have to save Lord Hou!"

Empress Dowager Zhang burst into tears.

She asked tremblingly, "Did Yanling ever scold you?"

Mrs. Jianchanghou shook her head again and again: "Absolutely not!"

Then carefully looked around.

He persuaded Xu Fan to be the leader and "enforce the law impartially", so there is hope for his advice.

Mrs. Jianchang Hou hesitated to speak, but she had no choice but to say goodbye and leave.

Outside the palace at this moment, Xu Fan's scalp was numb.

Yang Tinghe had a bitter expression.

"Later?" The Juzi who had a grudge against Zhang Heling sneered, "I was killed by a rod in Haizi! At that time, there was a poem that said: Foreign relatives dominate the world, and internal ministers resist and neglect. There is nothing in the past and present. Daohebigan is the only other world, and the heart is in the alley. Bo is the same. Chen Fengwu, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, made a lot of grievances in the past, and the Xiao Temple also ordered to make a memorial ceremony for it, and there is no lie!"

If you want to do it, do it thoroughly!The Zhang brothers have so many fields and so much wealth!

But Wu Tingju was very excited and winked at Yang Tan and Wang Qiong again and again.

Zhu Houcong sighed, sat up and hugged her.

Just because Zhu Houcong couldn't kill her.

And in the middle of the night, Zhu Houcong was lying on the couch, and Sun Ming sat up with tears in his eyes and said, "I know I was wrong..."

But more clearly cannot be said.

It's just a teenage girl, but it's a pity that her scheming is too shallow, and she was taken advantage of by that old queen so easily.

"Is it the way I just scared you?"

In fact, the words have been said very clearly.Yang Tinghe's question meant that they had done nothing wrong, and His Majesty replied that it was a coincidence, which meant it was not a coincidence.

Now, he made such a big mistake not long after entering the palace.

Zhu Houcong held her shoulders, looked at her tears, and wiped them with his hands: "The most important thing is not to disappoint!"

"You must be strict with your mouth!"

The old party, the new party, His Majesty...anyone may be behind the scenes, even if there are really remnants of rebels who are stirring up trouble.

He opened the skirt of his shirt, revealing a small scar: "Six years ago, a certain person came to the capital to take an exam, but because he couldn't dodge in time, he was whipped by the Marquis of Shouning!"

Sun Ming pursed her lips tightly.

"Your Majesty, after all, he is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Cishou."

"That's natural. In the old days, there was a eunuch He Wending, who practiced few careers, and began to eunuch when he was strong. During the Hongzhi period, he served the inner court. At that time, there was no constant limit for entering and exiting. Get up to go to the toilet, except for the imperial crown for the deacon, two Zhangs up, wear the crown. And prolong the age to rape the palace people, Wending holds a big melon outside the screen, and will strike! Send Jin Yiwei to torture the chief envoy. Wen Ding said to him: "There are two chief envoys, but they can't take him. Ask who they are, and they say Confucius and Mencius."

Sun Ming was ashamed and sad: "Is this punishment?"

But under the mentality of spoiling her younger brother and being a mad devil, if Zhu Houcong really killed her two younger brothers, it is impossible to predict whether she will go crazy or not.

Several servants from Shouning Hou Mansion and Jianchang Hou Mansion each fled out of the mansion gates in terror, and were arrested on the spot by soldiers patrolling the city at night.

"You have to talk about everything, and I can't stop telling you these reasons just because I like you. You are still young, so I won't always blame you."

The other small cases should be able to settle the loss of money, the most important one is the case of cursing the emperor.

Zhu Houcong said with a stern face: "But the worst thing is that you think it's a good time when you are happy at first? If there is anything that you have thought about, you should tell me in a normal way. Waiting until this time to bring it up, doesn't it mean that you are actually guilty? The guilty conscience should be stopped after you think about it at the beginning. Why did you learn to blow the pillow?"

But Zhang Yanling was afraid of the emperor, so he didn't dare to go. He couldn't forget the feeling when he came back from the palace last time with his crotch dripping.

"Who said he leaked it?" He was furious. "The man was caught quietly following the clues provided by the Jianchang Marquis Mansion. How did the news that Sun Ming was paid 190 taels of silver leak out?"

He just took some oil and water from the Hou's mansion, such a trivial matter is a fart crime, what merit does he want to make?

Now, in just a few days, so many people in the capital came forward to sue the Marquis of Shouning and Marquis Jianchang, and the magistrates of Wanping, Daxing and other counties under the rule of Shuntian Mansion were all pale every day.

Xu Fan couldn't help muttering, no matter whether the servants of the government office leaked their words or not, there seemed to be a hand behind it.

He couldn't make up his mind, so he went straight to a memorial to ask the emperor to make up his mind.

Zhang Yanling went to the government office not only to respond to a few small cases, but also to sue Guanshi Jia for stealing the owner's property and falsely accusing the owner.

Zhu Houcong knew that he already had some majesty as an emperor, even though he was very close to her.But when she suddenly heard her faltering and hawing about this matter, her complexion must have changed.

"Quickly search everything for Master Ben Hou! Let me see who has those things in the house, and immediately turn them over to the government office!"

Xu Fan scolded his mother in his heart, and really wanted to visit Wang Qiong to see if he could be transferred to another position, and next time he would be recommended by the second and third rank officials to consider him.

She had kept these things in mind, but when Queen Mother Zhang cried and begged her, she agreed first and then thought she couldn't break the promise, who knew that she had committed a big taboo.

According to the law, after the sound of the evening drum at three o'clock in the morning, people are not allowed to go out without special reasons.

Other small cases can be handled by Shuntian Prefecture or even Zhixia County. Then the surname Jia came out and said that the Zhang brothers cursed the emperor and even had witchcraft. Can the Sanju get away with it?Xu Fan directly dumped the blame to the Ministry of Punishment!

"Happy! Happy!" In a certain inn in the capital, a juzi from a certain province smiled excitedly at others, "In front of the Yamen in Wanping County, some people dare not write a pleading for an old woman. Why are you so afraid? Are you This is my first time to take the exam in the capital, so I don't know what happened in the past!"

"The queen mother is crying with anger! Is there anything I can't deal with first?"

At this moment, the new law has been put on the agenda, and Guangdong has begun to reform the government office and compile and review department rules.The Six Ministries of the Central Committee are also busy, so why should His Majesty touch these two at this time?Although you can get some money, the side effects will be another excuse for "feeling and ungrateful" after His Majesty's "dissoluteness".

After finishing speaking, he went to check the accounts and the warehouse, gritted his teeth and went to Sicong boldly.

Others didn't find it funny when they saw Yang Tinghe's appearance.

"Check it out." Zhu Houcong said lightly, "Probably because of long-standing grievances. Last year, Fang Muxian was involved in the assassination case. This time, there was a coincidence between Sun Ming and the steward of the Jianchang Marquis Mansion who were greedy for money and bad things. Only then did the common people redress their grievances together." .”

"Who put him in charge?"

Zhu Houcong rubbed her back: "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the two palaces as usual. When you see the Empress Dowager Cishou, just say you mentioned it to me."

"Didn't I teach you before?" Zhu Houcong suddenly smiled and lifted the quilt, "Practice and keep your mouth tight."

"...Chenqie...Chenqie shouldn't see the Empress Dowager Cishou crying pitifully, so she pleaded with Your Majesty." Sun Ming felt relieved a little, and cried regretfully, "Chenqie knew she was wrong..."

Xu Fan believed them to be ghosts!
In just a few days, so many people in the capital came out to sue the two brothers Shouninghou and Jianchanghou, these are just trivial matters.

"How dare you be so bold? Are you serious?"

"...the concubine remembers it!" Then she said dejectedly, "Will there always be so many schemes in the palace?"

Skin to skin, he asked softly, "What's wrong?"

The greedy and overly flexible manager Jia went to the government office and made a fuss, saying that the Zhang brothers often cursed and even had witchcraft in the government office, and it was not a crime.

"...Your Majesty, have Jinyiwei and Neichang investigated this matter?" Yang Tinghe's white hair has grown a lot recently, and the bitter look on his face is getting more and more serious.

"...The minister must decide the case impartially."

"……what?"

In a panic, I suddenly felt that I was about to lose this sweetness now.

"I was murdered by that bastard old Jia!"

But these servants of the Hou Mansion kept crying and begging, they would rather be beaten than escape, saying that someone in the mansion was forced to commit suicide.

At the national policy meeting, the sixteen counselors had different expressions.

The party leader is nowhere to go.

"Master Hou, Madam is back..."

"...My lord, maybe it was Sun Ming who showed off himself, maybe it was the yamen servant of Wanping County, or maybe it was a servant of the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion. The young ones don't have much to say."

"How long will you blame the concubine?" The little girl only felt sour when she heard that she liked you, and regretted it.

"... Even if you are a relative of the state, how dare you humiliate a scholar like this?"

"Try it."

Xu Fanping backed away after hearing those words, and then said: Tianzhi County has already received the money but backtracked, Sun Ming said on the spot that he could sell it but then backed down, this must have been arranged by His Majesty, and we have to find someone The two brothers were taken care of from scratch.

"...You did a good job! Marrying so many concubines, raising so many people, buying so many properties, let's see what's going on now!"

"It can be seen that the arrogance has been indulged for a long time, and the people's grievances are serious. Since this is the case, one or two punishments should be punished." Zhu Houcong shook his head, "This trivial matter also needs to be judged by my sage. I am really disappointed."

Between the Emperor and the Emperor, Empress Dowager Zhang did not control her emotions after the accident last year in Shouning Hou, and she already knew that it was useless to ask the Emperor directly.

Sun Ming could only nod pitifully.

"Soft-hearted, you are kind-hearted, and you don't want to see the old man crying pitifully. This is understandable, but it's not a good thing." Zhu Houcong shook his head, "Since you know that these cases are being discussed outside, you really shouldn't bring it up. , I will make up my own mind about those things."

Yang Tinghe didn't hide it, he let out a long sigh: "The ministers are ashamed. If that's the case, it's a hard work for the boss."

Zhang Yanling's lips were trembling.

Sun Ming nodded seriously.

Everyone else looked at Cui Yuan, who nodded solemnly.

There is no doubt that the scapegoat has to be borne by the new party.If the vassal king and his relatives are uneasy, Yang Tinghe will be blamed?
Just thought about recruiting gentry, now you want to recruit feudal lords and relatives?
Among the various cases that were filed, although most of them were about money, some people cried and said that their children were beaten to death when they entered the house as servants, and others said that their daughters were robbed to become concubines, not voluntarily.

"Scholar?" The Juren sneered, "Who didn't know the names of the two Zhangs in the old days? They seized the people's farms and invited the officials' temples. They dared to challenge the government and usurp the prisoners. The gold and jade piled up like a mountain and never tire of it." , Shijin is monopolized by two Zhangs! If only this is the case, these two people have been guilty of wearing imperial crowns!"

Sun Ming sobbed and said, "A concubine shouldn't...be pampered and talk about state affairs..."

In the next few years, we must only concentrate on the single-plank bridge.

Sun Ming sobbed again: "The concubine will never again..."

Hearing the emperor's explanation of the situation, Sun Ming was extremely afraid of self-blame, and didn't know what to do.

Ordinary people who have no official status, no talisman cards, etc. walk on the street in the second, third, and fourth shifts, and they will be beaten if they are caught.

If the emperor was furious, the harem might be in chaos.

"...It's because the elder brother was blind and used the traitor to scare away Lao Liu."

As soon as she cried, Zhang Yanling's heart went cold, and she asked palely, "Sister, won't you save me?"

Zhang Yanling was so annoyed that she pushed her to the ground.

"So I teach you, you have to listen carefully."

"anything else?"

It's all trivial things, it's all one or two villains, and it's just like this that bullies him.

Now she hugged the emperor tightly, feeling terrified and bewildered in her heart, she couldn't stop crying at all.

Sun Ming nodded repeatedly.

Empress Dowager Zhang sat there alone for a long time before she said: "Go to the Qianqing Palace and ask the queen to come, and say that it's about an audience with married women outside the Zhengdan festival."

"You go back first."

"Although you are only 16 years old, you are already a queen!" Zhu Houcong felt that it was enough to wake her up, and held her in his arms again, "If you don't want to do something, just refuse. If you think it is wrong, you will be severely reprimanded." You should. I tell you this, not to say that you can’t tell me anything in the future, but to teach you what to do. You are a queen, you can’t be too soft-hearted, and you can’t be teased by others casually.”

Xu Fan turned him back and sent him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

If Zhu Houcong hadn't "lended the net", maybe she would deliberately do something like an elder kneeling down to beg him, maybe she would find a time for everyone to watch.

Sun Ming nodded again.

You can't say that Empress Dowager Zhang shouldn't do this. She pleaded with the queen of the court, and she couldn't say anything.

"I can't disregard my family's kindness, nor can I disregard my people's grievances. How to judge, we should first judge." Zhu Houcong looked at them, "I can't make up my mind about such a trivial matter? I am the king and father of the world, who is not my people? Although Chu Liang has left, Cui Yuan is still here. On the way from Qiandi to Beijing, I heard that Marquis Shouning also flogged a man to death in Henan?"

Zhu Houcong looked at her.

"You know how to blame others! You know how to send me!" Zhang Yanling's official wife cried and grabbed her hand, "Why don't you have the guts to go to His Majesty to ask for sin first! Ask your brother to go with you! Now that there is a queen in the palace Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Sun, do you think the Empress Dowager can still help you brothers? If the Empress Dowager has a way, will she be so angry that she can only cry?"

"The Marquis is going to the government office soon. You have done so many things for the Marquis, you know how serious it is. If something happens to the Marquis, you will not be able to run away! Now is the time to spend money and eliminate disasters. No matter what you think of, Benhou wants 5000 taels for emergency!"

The source of everything is because of the emperor, and there is no emperor in the eyes of Queen Mother Zhang, the aunt.

But isn't it because she is still arrogant and unwilling?
The most important thing is that she always doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, and only has her two precious brothers in her eyes.

"..." Sun Ming stared at him blankly.

Tobe is difficult!
……

"Really?" Zhang Yanling hurried to the backyard and asked after seeing his wife, "What did sister say?"

Li Chongsi, the current Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, has a tingling scalp: he is already very busy with rebuilding the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", really.

As far as the Zhang brothers are concerned, the current cases against them are fine, the big deal is to pay some money and push two servants out to take the blame.

This Shuntian Fuyin is really not a human job!

"Second Zhang really deserves to die!"

Everything was fine, His Majesty was only here with her.

With only one small case, Wang Zuo gently lifted the veil of nobility that had long since disappeared from the heads of the Zhang brothers.

Zhu Houcong felt helpless: "What about the most important one?"

"So I have to blame you for a while, let you have a better memory!" Zhu Houcong tapped her forehead lightly.

"There is such a loyal minister?! What happened next?"

Hearing his wife beating the ground and crying, he went outside, looked at the trembling servants and said viciously again: "Give me a look everywhere! Who dares to talk nonsense, don't blame Ben Hou for not being sympathetic!"

Shocked, although the Sanfa Division hadn't formally started to ask the Zhang brothers whether they had cursed the emperor or practiced witchcraft, another anecdote happened that night.

Zhu Houcong looked at Yang Tinghe: "The "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" are being rebuilt now. Mr. Yang Ge generously asked me to give the three courts the right to adjudicate the crimes and responsibilities of the relatives involved in the case. Do you want to compromise your authority?"

Sun Ming whimpered and cried a little louder: "Chenqie...I can't think of anything...worse than this..."

The key issue is the crime of cursing the emperor.This is indeed a little bit, but I really dare not have any witchcraft.

"You can take it as a punishment. In short, you must be more impressed and remember this matter." Zhu Houcong was serious.

So the Empress could only shrug into the quilt in a delicate and pitiful manner with wet tears in her eyes.
