Chapter 456

"Your Majesty, I think that this matter involves treason, which is a heinous crime, an unforgivable crime, and involves a frontier general, which is even more important. I think that it is better to send an imperial envoy to the town as soon as possible to take charge of it." This matter." The official who just said that he would send an imperial envoy saw that the emperor had already sent troops, his face was anxious, and he mentioned again that he would send an imperial envoy. In his opinion, the emperor wanted to leave Wen Cheng to do anything. Anyone with ulterior motives should be suspicious.

"No need, there is already an imperial envoy there. The matter involves treason, and the minister has already sent Jin Yiwei to handle it. To do things cheaply, I have given Cao Huachun Shangfang Sword, and can act on my behalf when necessary." Yang Reform refused. Well, the right to host this matter must be in your own hands. If you send an imperial envoy to preside over this matter, wouldn't you tie your hands and feet?
"Ah!..." After hearing what the emperor said, everyone knew that the emperor not only sent Jinyiwei, but also gave Shang Fangjian. More ministers became anxious.Things seemed to exceed their expectations from the very beginning, and the emperor must have something to hide from them.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate..." the official said anxiously. At the beginning, what the emperor did made him feel a huge conspiracy. When he heard that the emperor had sent an imperial envoy, he became even more anxious. The emperor The more secretive it is, the worse it is, the more you have to get involved and see what happens.

"Crack..." The sound of a broken cup made all the officials on the platform tremble.The emperor stood up abruptly, his calm face turned dark in an instant, anger burst out from his seven orifices, he grabbed the cup on the desk and threw it on the ground.

"Hmph... not right? What else is wrong? Jin Yiwei handles treason cases, it's only right and proper, what else is wrong? Is it possible that I can't maintain the world of my Ming Zhu family? I must let those rebellious officials and thieves plot against me. Is it appropriate to be rebellious? Is it appropriate to let those rebellious officials and thieves overturn the ancestral grave of my Zhu family? Do I have to stand here and wait for them to kill me?" Yang Reform changed the "calm" that had just calmed down, With an angry black face, he threw things wildly.A series of rhetorical questions made the minister who was eager to try immediately shut up.

This trick worked immediately, shutting up the ministers who were still planning to bargain with the emperor. Seeing that the emperor was very angry, it was also very terrifying. The ministers are very uncomfortable. Perhaps, it is true that I think too much, so many ministers who are aware that there may be problems with this matter also shut up.

The minister who had been claiming to send an imperial envoy just now felt even worse. Didn't the emperor list him with those who conspired?His forehead started to sweat, but he didn't intend to stop, and continued to bite the bullet: "Your Majesty, I think that this case is huge and involves a lot of things. It’s just that I feel that even if we don’t send an imperial envoy, the case should be handed over to the Tribunal for trial, and the sentence should be punished with a clear code…” This official took the next best step, and instead of asking for an imperial envoy, he wanted to involve the Sanju Division in the case In the middle of the day, no one was watching inside, and no matter what the emperor "fiddled with", who knew what would come out of the fiddle?

This official risked his life, risked offending the emperor, and tried his best to get involved in this matter regardless of the emperor's black face. This action made all the officials wake up. I'm going to look at the situation and let's talk about officials, and I can see that it's unusual. This matter may not be as irrelevant to me as I imagined. Maybe there is something shady in it, or maybe there is something tricky.

Yang Reform looked at the official carefully. Sure enough, these ministers are all smart people. Although they may not know what they are going to do, they must be able to see something is wrong. They have a good nose.Dog nose, Yang Reform secretly cursed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the San Judicial Department should be involved..."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it's more suitable for the Sanju to ask the case..."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I think..." More officials immediately followed up and asked the three courts to intervene. Many ministers became vigilant. The emperor will handle this matter alone. There must be something shameful, and civil servants must intervene. Otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable. The ministers do not trust the emperor in their bones, and the nerves that suppress the emperor will start to work.

On the platform, a one-sided situation began to appear.

"Enough..." Yang Reform shouted loudly.The yelling of the ministers immediately fell down.

"Immediately, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple will form the Three Law Departments, and send personnel into Shanxi to jointly try the Shanxi merchants' treason case. Civil servants and military generals below the third rank can be detained on the spot, regardless of officials and gentry, one must not be let go..." Yang Reform roared loudly.

The ministers originally thought that the emperor would strongly oppose the intervention of the San Judicial Division, and would definitely let Jin Yiwei handle the case, but they did not expect that the emperor suddenly agreed to the intervention of the San Judicial Division, and intervened as an imperial envoy. This was greatly unexpected The ministers were surprised, and they all became puzzled, perhaps the situation was not as bad as they had expected.The ministers looked at the emperor differently again.

Even the minister who had been yelling about sending an imperial envoy just now was puzzled, and he couldn't understand the emperor even more. He had always thought that there must be something shameful in it, and the emperor was so "sneaky". Originally, he He thought that the reason why the emperor refused to send an imperial envoy was to let Jin Yiwei play tricks, but now the emperor agreed to the intervention of the Sanfa Division. expected.He is also confused...

"Your Majesty is holy..." The emperor's unexpected words made the ministers very uncomfortable. The habit of fighting the emperor in their bones, this time, they were at a loss. It was like punching cotton with nowhere to receive force. , I felt uncomfortable all over, so I had to say that Your Majesty is wise enough.Now that the imperial envoys have also been sent, and the Sanfa Division has also intervened, if anything is wrong, the emperor will probably kill someone.

Although Yang Reform's face is dark, but his heart is bright, and he is also secretly proud. These old foxes have a good nose. No matter how good your dog's nose is, this time, you will have to suffer. Case, this is a real thing in history, I have already caught those Shanxi merchants, under the means of Jin Yiwei, what else can I not ask?This must be an iron-clad fact, and it was impossible for Sanfa to say nothing in the face of these evidences.

The involvement of the Sanju Division in this case was originally within my expectations. These guys thought they would be afraid that someone would intervene. How could they know that they had originally planned for the Sanju Division to intervene? It is possible to make a solid conclusion, only relying on a Jinyiwei, even if there are iron-like facts, some people will selectively ignore them.This time, the San Judiciary went over, so he could be a witness for himself and make the case an iron case.

The confrontation ended like this, and the courtiers dispersed with surprise and doubt.

Sun Chengzong still stayed on the platform, seeing that everyone had left and there was no one there, he asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, if the San Judicial Division intervenes at this time, will it spoil your Majesty's affairs?" Sun Chengzong asked worriedly.

"Hmph, it's okay, this case is huge and involves a wide area, how many people can there be in the Three Law Departments? There are too many people, how long will it take to get to the ground? With such a long time, we can do a lot of things. ...the number of people in the Sanju Division has been reduced. The voluminous case files, evidence, testimony, and witnesses will make the people in the Sanju Division so busy that they vomit blood. Heh heh, I let the Sanju Division handle the case, but I can't avoid Jin Yiwei's handling of the case Right, Cao Huachun even brought my Shangfang Sword, and the people in the Sanfa Division are busy enough to try cases, look through files, check evidence, testimonies, and question witnesses, let alone arrest suspects and detain criminals. Official, this matter is basically handled by Jin Yiwei. I believe that after Jin Yiwei's hands, there is nothing that I can't ask. If Cao Huachun can't handle this matter well, what use is he?... Not a day or two It is impossible for the Sanju Division to be busy with any clues. Even if there are hard-working characters in the Sanju Division, it doesn't matter. Isn't everything going to be handled by Jin Yiwei? Jin Yiwei can't tell them what to interrogate and ask. What's more, all the evidence given to the San Judicial Division is ironclad, and the San Judicial Division can still say "no"? In a month or two, everyone should be arrested and everything should be done. Why are you afraid of the San Judicial Division? It’s just in time for them to go, and it’s just in time to make this case an iron case in an aboveboard manner, so that no one will be suspicious..." Yang Reform said with a smile.

Hearing the emperor's explanation, Sun Chengzong was relieved. Indeed, although the Sanfa Division has a high reputation, there are not many people under it. If you don't rely on the power of the local government, even guarding the prisoners will be a problem, let alone arresting people everywhere. What's more, this matter involves the border guards. In fact, Jin Yiwei has a lot to do in it. Sun Chengzong's tense face has been relaxed, and he reminded: "Your Majesty, we must guard against them using the local government officials to handle the case." !"

"Well, that's right, big companion, send a letter to Cao Huachun. When the people from the Sanju Department arrive in Shanxi, you should treat them with courtesy and politeness. No matter how many or how small they are, just prevent leaks. The local government may be involved in conspiracy. For the reason of rebelling against the case, they are not allowed to second the officials of Shanxi to participate in the handling of the case, let them go to the capital to transfer people..." Yang Reform thought for a while, and said with a smile, Sun Chengzong is indeed a veteran in the court, and this reminder to himself is indeed true. It is very important, this time, there will be more time, such a long time, enough for Jin Yiwei to toss about.

Wang Chengen pursed his lips and agreed, this move is really bad.

Sun Chengzong also smiled. It would take five or six days for the people from the Sanfa Division to go to Shanxi, even in Zhangjiakou, which is relatively close. When there are enough manpower to handle the case, at that time, the case will not know how far it has developed. It may involve all parts of the country. His manpower is not enough. It is estimated that even looking through the files will be a difficult task. The emperor's move is indeed sinister enough. In ten days and a half months, Jin Yiwei will ask everything that needs to be asked, arrest everything that needs to be arrested, and do everything that needs to be done. "Staring blankly, I can only interrogate the ironclad evidence. Since they are all ironclad evidence, it doesn't matter whoever goes to interrogate them. If the Sanfa Division brings a large group of people, with the style of their officials and imperial envoys, the road will be delayed longer. I'm afraid There is no need to delay.

"Send Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming a message and tell them that they are my new army, and they must take me into consideration in everything. If it is beneficial to me, be decisive. If it is not beneficial to me, you can ignore it. Don't get confused. Turn your head." Yang Reform said again.

"Your servant obeys!" Wang Chengen replied again.

……

Hundreds of officials who came out of the platform even discussed the Shanxi merchants' treason case.

"Master Qiao, what do you think of this Shanxi business case?" One official clasped his fists and asked another official for advice.

"This matter is no small matter, Your Majesty... Those Shanxi merchants really should be killed..." The official surnamed Qiao originally planned to say that His Majesty's conspiracy was not trivial, but when the words came to his lips, he changed it to those Shanxi merchants who should be killed.

"That's true, I didn't expect that there would be such shameless people in my dynasty who would recognize captives as their fathers, counting their ancestors and forgetting their ancestors... people's hearts are not old, people's hearts are not old... these people who ruined my dynasty's great affairs, It really should be killed... Hehehe, this time, His Majesty must be able to steal a lot of money again, which is a lot of money! I said Mrs. Qiao, why do I think that Your Majesty has no money and wants to get some money? Huahua? What does Lord Qiao think?" The official sighed, and said with emotion, and also expressed his conjecture...——The emperor has no money to spend, and wants to get money.

"This... that is, that is..." The official surnamed Qiao never thought that the emperor did this for money. Hearing the official's conjecture, he froze for a moment, and agreed, yes, Don't pass this official, quicken his pace, catch up with the minister in front of him a few steps, and then slow down his pace.Glancing at the minister, the eyes of both of them were full of anxiety and doubt.

"Brother Han, what do you think of this matter?" The official Qiao asked in disbelief.

"Are Shanxi merchants cooperating with captives? Damn it..." the official surnamed Han replied without hesitation.

"...Just a Shanxi merchant? Just to copy some money?" The official surnamed Qiao added to the question and answer, and he also followed up on the money that the official mentioned to him just now.

"...Money?...Maybe..., but the court has always been involved in treason, I'm afraid it's not for the money! If it's just for Shanxi merchants and captives, then it's okay..." This Han The official surnamed was also stunned for a moment. He really hadn't thought carefully about the matter of the emperor's money. Now, he was even more confused. This matter was strange and mysterious. Perhaps it was really just an ordinary conspiracy. It's just a rebellious case. If the court really wanted to be involved in this case, then the emperor wouldn't just agree to the intervention of the San Judicial Department!It should be tough to always use Jin Yiwei to handle the case alone.

"...Hey, no matter what happens, the three judges still have to go to Shanxi as soon as possible! Your Majesty asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple to choose this candidate. This matter must be done as soon as possible!" The official surnamed Han can't guess. To understand the reason, we can only take a step and look at it first.

"That's true!" The official Qiao surnamed echoed.

……

The outbreak of the Shanxi Merchants' Rebellion case seemed to blow a whirlwind in the capital, quickly overshadowing the running of schools, and became a hot topic of discussion in the streets and alleys.

"Have you heard? It is precisely because of Shanxi merchants and captives that I have been defeated again and again outside the customs in recent years!" In the teahouse, several people were drinking tea while discussing the hottest topic in the capital today. .

"This matter, I think! Most of the success is a good thing done by those Shanxi merchants. Think about it seven or eight years ago, when our Daming was fighting the Japanese in North Korea, we were not so useless. How could we lose so badly? But when we hit the Japanese Donglu, is it okay? I see! It’s likely that those damned Shanxi merchants leaked the news. As the old saying goes: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Donglu has found out the details of our Ming Dynasty. How can we not win? Those people! They should be killed. Luckily, those damned ones will be dug out now that the Son of Heaven is in power. , we all have to be slaves of wild boar skin..." Someone immediately took over the conversation and started talking loudly, not afraid, anyway, the whole capital is talking about this matter now.

"Oh, what a tragedy! If those people had been dug out sooner, I, Daming, would not have been so miserable outside the pass..." Someone said with emotion.

"Does it need to be said? Sigh..., that is miserable, you don't know, there is a neighbor next door to my house, who escaped from Liaodong, and is now working in a factory. Hearing the news, the whole family stayed up all night Weeping loudly! The crying one is sad, alas... even my wife is also crying, saying that she is pitiful...these damned Shanxi merchants are really hateful..., alas, so many people are ruined and killed because of them Ah!..." Another person immediately echoed, and gossiped about what he saw and heard, and pushed the responsibility for the defeat of Liaodong to Shanxi merchants.

"Alas..." The people who gathered together expressed regret when they heard this.

"In my opinion! The Holy Son of Heaven should arrest these people immediately, chop them up alive, and let those people in Liaodong eat their flesh and drink their blood, so as to relieve their hatred. Let's see if they will be traitors in the future..." Someone immediately Proposal, although no one responded, but, judging from everyone's intentions, none of them objected to it.

"Hey..., have you heard? I heard that even Jin Yiwei, who went to handle the case, shouted that he couldn't resist, and rescued the soldiers. This time, many people may be killed..." These few days The individual was silent for a while, and someone spoke again.

"...Hush... I heard that this matter is very much involved. I heard that it has involved the generals and even the ministers in the court. It's too early to say this..." Another well-informed person quietly Speaking of.

"I believe that it involves a frontier general, but if you want to talk about the ministers of the court and the central government, it may not be so?" Someone immediately inquired in disbelief.

"Hey, don't think about it. It's not been a day or two since Donglu started the incident. It's been a few years. The border officials over there won't be promoted? Didn't one get into the court?" Someone immediately broke the news .

"Um……"

"Hmm..." Several people nodded their heads in doubt.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh then"

A few people sitting around drinking tea turned around and looked around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, they continued drinking tea.
