MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 411 catch everything
Chapter 411 All in one sweep
Zhu Di is obviously more and more interested in this.
He seemed to have discovered a new continent, staring at Liu Zhan with a strange look.
As we all know, His Majesty is most interested in two things about ministers.
That is, how did the minister suddenly have money, and the second is that this person was involved in rebellion.
It can be said that regarding these two points, Zhu Di is indeed in the same line as Emperor Taizu Gao.
Zhang Anshi continued: "Liu Zhan's relatives have become rich overnight in recent years. Among them, his younger brother Liu Zhou has bought thousands of acres of fertile land in recent years. He also specially invited the opera troupe from Qinhuai River, traveled thousands of miles, went to Yudu to sing for him, and the reward alone cost hundreds of taels."
"besides…"
Zhu Di was very interested, but he still waved his hands with a smile, but looked at Liu Zhan: "Zhang Qing, you don't have to say it, let him do it!"
After Liu Zhan listened, he gradually calmed down from his grief and anger. He felt something strange and smelled something unusual.
To a certain extent, Liu Zhan has a golden body. The so-called golden body means that he is a Qingliu, so he can talk nonsense. Even if he offends the emperor, it can be said that he is speaking out of righteousness, fulfilling his duty as a courtier, and fulfilling his own obligations. It is the highest morality of a speech official. If His Majesty punishes me for this, then you, Zhu Di, are nothing. You will chill the hearts of all officials and block the way of speech.
But what Zhang Anshi took out today broke his golden body. At the moment, he breathed hard, trying his best to get out of the pain of losing his son, and in the later stage, Ai Ai said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... these ministers In 2010, I did have some savings, but they were all because of being diligent and thrifty in managing the family and managing money well. There is a saying in "Yi Zhuan": A family that accumulates good things will have more than one year of celebration, and a house that accumulates bad things will surely have surplus disasters. A minister should restrain himself and cultivate himself, and accumulate good virtues ..."
Zhang Anshi said abruptly: "So, it's because you have accumulated virtue in your daily life, so the silver has grown legs and has gone to your house? That's interesting. Could it be that the silver has become fine?"
Zhang Anshi's words sounded a bit of ridicule, but it's not hard to hear the sarcasm inside.
Liu Zhan ignored Zhang Anshi.
But he ignored him, Zhang Anshi was hungry and thirsty, and continued to eat his mouth: "If you say this, whoever has money in this world will have virtue! But as far as I know, your great-grandfather and grandfather also It’s not a rich family, could it be because of your ancestor’s wickedness?”
These words were obviously scolding Liu Zhan, but Zhu Di just sat still, feeling overwhelmed.
As we all know, Zhu Di's grandfather and great-grandfather were really poor men, and it would be polite to say that they are poor!
If Zhang Anshi really explained it like this, wouldn't it be...
Liu Zhan said angrily: "Don't confuse the public."
Zhang Anshi said with a stern face: "Confused? I think you are the one who confused the public! Don't you think... until now, Jin Yiwei only found out how much money you have in your family? I don't know anything about other things, and now I still think about it. deny?"
Liu Zhan was silent after listening.
In his opinion, this is called trying to impose a crime, and there is nothing wrong with it.
I study hard in the cold window, isn't it just for...today? Why do you want to trouble me?
But he also knew in his heart that many things were really going to be revealed to the world, no matter how much they whitewashed, His Majesty would never spare him.
Zhang Anshi obviously had his eye on him long ago. As for what Zhang Anshi discovered, only God knows. Now, if he tries to argue with reason, he might just bring himself to humiliate himself.
So, Liu Zhan chose to remain silent.
But how could Zhang Anshi give up on this? So he said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, since the New Deal, the soldiers and civilians have received all the favors. This time there are rumors everywhere that the New Deal is about to die down, and the soldiers and people are afraid of it. Love, and people express their feelings, is the rule set by Emperor Taizu Gao. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao made the "Yuzhi Dagao" and issued an edict, saying: "The people can take officials who harm the people"!"
Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, then continued: "In the "Yuzhi Dagao", the rule of taking officials by the people is regulated in detail, that is, if the officials are lawless, or oppress the people, and those who are corrupt and lawless, the people can arrest them, etc. If you are escorted to the capital, you will not be able to ask questions. If you dare to ask Your Majesty, this "Imperial Imperial Order" is the ancestral law written by the emperor Gao. The army and the people are not angry, so they arrest officials who harm the people!"
"And these officials who harmed the people, not only refused to arrest them without a fight, but dared to fight back, and now they have caused casualties. I dare to ask Your Majesty, what does this have to do with rebellion? The arrest of officials who harmed the people is the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu Gao. Not only did he not obey, he did not follow the saying of Emperor Taizu Gao that "you should not ask questions", but you still dared to say it openly, referring to the deer as a horse, and treating the good people as a chaotic party. It is despicable, which can be seen. I implore your majesty to see clearly and judge this case , to restore the people’s innocence.”
As soon as this remark came out, the officials were silent again.
When Zhang Anshi also understood the law, he suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Even Zhu Di couldn't help feeling strange, so he took a deep look at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi is eloquent, and he is full of confidence at this time.
In fact, he doesn't understand so many laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, because since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the laws and regulations have undergone many deletions. What's more, in addition to the laws of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, there is also the "Great Law" added by Emperor Gaozu in addition to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. ". In addition, there are a large number of statutes, and various previous cases. It can be said... a mess of chaos.
To put it bluntly, the same thing, if you judge it from the Law of the Ming Dynasty, maybe this guy will be exiled, but if it comes to "Dagao", which is what Zhang Anshi called "Yuzhi Dagao", the whole family may be killed.
Of course, you can even cite some recent imperial edicts of the current emperor to interpret the current punishment, which may just be innocent. You can still cite a certain case in a certain year, a certain month, the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Dali Temple. Maybe you will not only be acquitted, but you may also be rewarded.
Zhang Anshi understands why he always ignores it.
Because the officials shoot the arrow first and then draw the target, they are knowledgeable and can always find out the articles and laws they want to cover up what they want to do.
But it is different now. In Taiping Mansion, there are also a group of scholars who are employed by various merchants and workshops. They do nothing every day. , also very professional.
Those merchants are not fools. Although they were killed and their nets broken, they also left a way out for themselves. To put it bluntly, they found a rational excuse from the vast legal provisions. In Qixia, they used such a banner to start to act.
As the commander of Jinyiwei, Zhang Anshi is naturally aware of this, and now these things just come in handy.
Of course, theoretically speaking, Emperor Taizu Gao's "Da Gao" was actually shelved by Jianwen and even Zhu Di after his death!
Because the things that often peel the real grass are too scary, and things like people arresting officials who harm the people are actually not very practical.
So everyone looked at Zhang Anshi speechlessly at this time. This guy jumped out to defend the law of the ancestors, which really made people feel a little shameless.
Zhu Di was quite happy, this is all right, the time for me to protect the law of the ancestors has come to the fullest.
But at this moment, someone slowly stepped forward.
Because Zhang Anshi's remarks are too dangerous. In other words, from Baiguan's point of view, if Zhang Anshi can get away with this matter in a logical way, then wouldn't it be possible for Zhang Anshi to instigate ignorant people or raise some unscrupulous people to copy everyone's graves if he wants to dig the graves of Baiguan? home?
The person who stood up was Chen Ji, a scholar of the Imperial Academy.
Chen Jidao: "Your Majesty, there is indeed such a clear text in the "Yu Zhi Da Gao"."
Zhu Di nodded: "In that case..."
"But Your Majesty, I have something to say."
There was a sudden silence in the air.
In this sentence of righteous words, the two sides of the contradiction have reached the point where they are in the same situation, so, to a certain extent, it is now a pity, everyone, you are welcome, **** me stage.
Zhu Di didn't move at all, just said: "Speak!"
Chen Jidao: "But as far as I know, the banner of the rebellious people is that the emperor has no way, and everyone in the world should discuss it together. In addition, there is the wise king of Wuhu County, who should be replaced. There are also words like killing the Forbidden City, Your Majesty...I have the guts to ask, His Royal Highness Wuhu County keeps saying that these are good people, but good people, how dare they say such disrespectful words? What exactly are they trying to do? What is their purpose? Who instigated them?"
"Your Majesty... I am a great Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, took over the world with common clothes. It has been more than half a year now, but now, there are people who are so deceitful and confuse the crowd, and they gather hundreds of thousands of people in the capital. It is obvious, can His Majesty still sit and watch?"
After saying this, the hall suddenly became surprisingly cold.
This is the real killer feature!
Because any sentence here is to kill Zhang Anshi's family.
No matter how much His Majesty trusts Zhang Anshi, then, who can guarantee that if it is true, someone instigated it?
This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the capital city, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians outside. Can you afford this risk, Your Majesty?
What's more, the popularity of the king of Wuhu County is so high. If His Majesty still trusts Zhang Anshi, is he not afraid of capsizing in the gutter?
This can even be called a conspiracy, because... Even Zhu Di knows that there may be something strange behind it, but if you think about what happened today, you should be tossing and turning, and you can't sleep.
Chen Ji finished speaking, kowtowed and said: "The minister has said all of this. Your majesty is a sage, so you can clearly see the details. Please think about it."
Zhang Anshi just kept a cold face and said nothing.
But these words made Zhu Gaochi shudder. He knew in his heart that these words were powerful, and these words alone were enough to kill Zhang Anshi.
Yang Rong glanced at Chen Ji, and although he looked noncommittal, he frowned slightly.
Things have come to this point, it seems that neither side has left any room for each other, and it is obvious that they are rushing to fight.
But there was no expression on Zhu Di's face.
Chen Jiyan can finish.
But suddenly another person stood up, everyone looked, but it was Liu Jin, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.
Liu Jin kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
Some people stepped forward one after another.
Then more and more people came forward.
Although there is no one-sided situation in the court.
Can…
"Your Majesty, for the sake of our Ming Dynasty, this matter... needs to be thoroughly investigated to the end. How can we trust one person? The rebellious people dare to say such a thing, and I dare not imagine. What will they do next? I wait for His Majesty Meng not to give up, An Today, if the country is really in danger of being overthrown, I have no choice but to die to repay the grace of God!"
In this noisy hall.
Zhang Anshi also said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are indeed rebellious people!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhang Anshi in unison.
Is this guy calling himself out?
Chen Ji cheered up, and immediately sneered: "His Royal Highness Wuhu County King, just now...you said that!"
Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Just now we were talking about good people, but disorderly people are disorderly people."
Chen Jidao: "Then who are the disorderly people, and who are the good people?"
Zhang An Shidao: "You know for yourself?"
"How to tell?" Chen Ji smiled even colder, but pressed on step by step.
It can be said that by this time, Zhang Anshi has run out of words.
Because... no one can tell the good from the bad from hundreds of thousands of people!
Furthermore, those so-called disorderly people all want you to add a yellow robe to Zhang Anshi. You Zhang Anshi can't clear up this relationship.
Zhang Anshi said, "What if I can tell the difference?"
"Haha..." Chen Ji laughed and said, "I never thought that His Highness is still so powerful. Could it be that His Highness is behind this?"
"Bold!"
Zhu Di suddenly shouted.
Chen Ji immediately became cautious, the smile on his face stopped, and he hurriedly said: "The minister is dead, and the minister should not speculate His Royal Highness Wuhu County for no reason."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi and said, "Zhang Qing, how to tell the difference, please explain in detail."
Zhang Anshidao: "Jin Yiwei is already conducting a detailed investigation. If you think about it, there will be results soon."
Zhu Di nodded.
But Chen Ji was not reconciled, so he asked: "How long is it soon?"
At this time, he is hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, so he will never give Zhang Anshi a chance to breathe.
Zhang Anshi still didn't show the slightest panic, smiled and said: "I think... it's just a matter of two hours."
This sentence directly blocked Chen Ji back.
But at this moment, an **** suddenly came in a hurry and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander of Jin Yiwei, Chen Li, escorted hundreds of people to see him, and said that he... discovered the rogue party..."
These words were like a thunderbolt, and the officials immediately started whispering.
No one expected it to be so fast.
Of course, Chen Ji was still smiling, because he knew that Zhang Anshi couldn't wash away these things.
Zhu Di said: "Where is the man?"
"Beyond the Meridian Gate."
"Why not escorted into the palace immediately?"
The **** looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty...there are too many people...I'm afraid...I'm afraid..."
Zhu Di seemed deeply convinced, but now he felt that Chen Li acted quite prudently.
At the moment, he said decisively: "Then I will move, and I will go and have a look."
Said, regardless of the reaction of the officials, immediately got up and drove to the Meridian Gate.
Hundred officials have to follow.
Chen Jiren and others were hiding in the crowd. At this time, they had a premonition that things were under control.
Because in their view, no matter how many people are handed over, they can continue to pour dirty water, or they can just arrest some random people to make up the number, or they can say that this may be a bitter plan.
Zhu Gaochi deliberately slowed down and was a little further away from Shengjia.
He raised his eyebrows, looked a bit worried, and glanced sideways at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi stepped forward and supported Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi said in a low voice, "Why did you make such a mess?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, the truth will be revealed soon."
Zhu Gaochi sighed: "You, this kind of thing can't be washed away, you don't understand..."
"It's clear." Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Is my brother-in-law still worried about me? If you talk about being brave and ruthless, I may not be good at it, but when it comes to how to protect yourself, I am a professional."
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
Zhu Gaochi frowned and said, "Father...has he become suspicious?"
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, Your Majesty is not an ordinary person."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head lightly and said: "Your sister is right. You used to be ignorant, but you only laughed and made trouble, and made small mistakes. Now you are sensible, but you are scary when you are sensible. , you can smash the sky down."
Zhang Anshi shrank his neck in fright, and said with an innocent face: "The world is really going to fall apart, so you can't blame me. This is what my sister said. Brother-in-law, you have to testify to me."
Zhu Gaochi: "..."
At this time, outside the Meridian Gate, Chen Li led the Jinyiwei Official School, who had already been respectful and waiting here patiently.
As soon as the holy driver came, he immediately led the crowd to salute and said: "I have seen your majesty, long live my emperor."
Zhu Di got off the chariot, led all the officials, and walked steadily to a group of imperial prisoners.
Looking at this group of dark people, there are as many as three or four hundred people, each of them is tied up, and there are even many people who have already looked jittery.
When they saw Zhu Di, they all bowed down and begged for mercy.
Zhu Di had his hands behind his back, but there was no anger on his face. Instead, he smiled. There seemed to be something flickering in his eyes, and then he calmly said, "Zhang Qing...have everyone been arrested?"
Zhang Anshi quickly stepped forward and said: "I caught them all, and almost no fish slipped through the net. But they are all small characters, the real big fish...hehehe..."
There is obviously some deep meaning in these words.
Zhu Di obviously understood, but he said with emotion: "It's really not easy. After all kinds of efforts, Zhang Qing can be regarded as stimulating all these people. I'm afraid they won't be able to shrink back."
Zhang An Shidao: "Your Majesty, I don't have such worries. These people jump over the wall in a hurry. Whenever they have the opportunity, they will definitely try their best to fish in troubled waters. This is their best opportunity. How could they miss it?"
The two seemed to be talking to each other on their own, but all of a sudden, the officials behind them shuddered.
...
There are still at night, and in the last few hours, the monthly pass will be invalidated.
