Chapter 118 Fang Congzhe was scolded again
"good!"
The people were excited and applauded, and some couldn't help but shout.
So much so that the sergeant who maintained order in the execution ground could not help but squeeze the spear in his hand, fearing that these people would rob the justice field.
"don't want!"
The scholars upstairs screamed in pain, some cried directly, while others beat the beauty hard.
But none of them dared to rush over to the robbery field.
Wu Changshi and Dong Tingxian were the main culprits who incited the Jinyiwei to make a big fuss.
Therefore, their treatment is the same as that of Li Sancai, and they need to be sentenced to death.
Wu Changshi was frightened when he saw these scholars who were making trouble with him in the Jinyiwei who were executed and cried directly: "Why do you want to kill me? I am a juren, a person with an official position, and a noble person!"
Dong Tingxian also cried and asked Wu Changshi: "Brother Wu, are we really going to be executed? But we didn't rescue Mr. Li. Aren't we dying in vain?"
Wu Changshi started screaming before he could answer Dong Tingxian because he had already begun to be executed.
Immediately afterwards, Dong Tingxian also began to be executed.
Li Sancai just smiled bitterly at the beginning. He didn't expect that he would let a Zuodu Censor beheaded in half, a Minister of Justice commit suicide, and a left governor of the Jinyiwei beheaded by swords. Now dozens of scholars are also going to be executed, but he can't escape death in the end.
Li San really doesn't understand why Zi is so tough and so determined today.
All the executions had such a great impact, but they could not escape death.
But Li Sancai figured it out just now, especially when he saw the cold look of the new Minister of Justice Gu Bingqian, he couldn't help but say to himself: "It's still the people in Shilin who are not in harmony!"
For a moment, Li Sancai cursed before being hit by the first blow: "Fang Congzhe! You traitor! You must die a good death! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go!"
There is a reason why Li Sancai suddenly scolded Fang Congzhe.
After all, he had a conflict with Fang Congzhe because of the dispute over joining the cabinet.
Now he could also guess that the emperor's will could be issued through the cabinet. It must be because Fang Congzhe, the chief minister, could be issued, otherwise he could only be executed through the order not recognized by all officials.
Moreover, he could also guess that the act of killing himself by changing the Minister of Justice can only be accomplished by Fang Congzhe. After all, Fang Congzhe has been in the cabinet for many years and is the most clear about all officials, even better than the emperor. There are many disciples and officials. It is easy to recommend a senior civil servant who dares to kill scholars for the emperor without a principled bottom line.
Therefore, Li Sancai now hates Fang Congzhe very much, and he is so angry that he grits his teeth and veins are rising.
Gu Bingqian was angry because of this. He now considered himself a member of the Party, so he immediately ordered: "Cut his tongue first! Let's see how he scolds Yuan Fu!"
After saying that, Gu Bingqian warned the scholars outside the court according to the imperial edict:
"The great power of the court cannot be violated! Execution of them is not the original intention of the court. The strict law is to correct people's hearts. The purpose of the court is to let your scholars remember what the king's law is and what the court's principles are! Everyone has to pay the price for their own sins! The Grand Historian said that the prince violates the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. I hope you and others should remember that they should not commit it again!"
"good!"
The people in the front row who heard Gu Bingqian's words clearly continued to cheer, because they cheered because of the saying "The prince violated the law, but the common people were guilty of the same crime."
Because as the people, they are not afraid of strict laws. After all, it is common for the people to be beaten to death by officials when they commit crimes. They are just dissatisfied with the officials and men who commit crimes but have nothing to do.
But some scholars in the front row who were mixed among the people felt very harsh and angry when they heard this. However, they didn't dare to say anything now. After all, the bloody beheading knife still made them feel a little afraid.
Several Jinyiwei, who were also mingled near the execution ground, were relieved when he saw these troublemakers being killed.
Especially after these Jinyiwei heard a scholar saying that killing a few Jinyiwei was nothing, the Jinyiwei, who were already angry and were about to explode, they felt more happy to see these scholars being beheaded than to pay their salaries.
"The brothers who were beaten to death by them were finally in vain! This time, the emperor finally withstood the pressure from the outside world and let us breathe a sigh of relief!"
Sun Yunhe talked to Wu Mengming at this time.
Wu Mengming nodded: "Yes, Luo... Luo Sigong is still too weak. Although he is good to his brothers below and gives a lot of money, he is very afraid of these civil servants, which makes his brothers below feel depressed. Fortunately, the emperor is tough. Over the years, my Jinyiwei finally straightened his back again."
"However, because Luo Sigong is in charge of the Jinyiwei, our Jinyiwei's performance was not very good before. Especially in the Qianqing Palace a few days ago, everyone almost made the emperor unable to come to Taiwan to plead for Luo Sigong. I don't know if the emperor will be disappointed with our Jinyiwei because of this. Now there is another Yulin Guard. Do you think the emperor will be even more biased towards the Yulin Guard because of this?"
As Sun Yunhe said that, he asked other colleagues from the Jinyiwei.
"This matter is also a headache. Luo Sigong has kindness to us, and it is unreasonable not to plead for him at that time. But in fact, no one under our Jinyiwei wishes to kill all the civil servants and scholars, so that they often don't take us seriously. They are not satisfied with Luo Sigong's behavior of charming civil servants, but they are not easy to say anything. Now if the emperor really mistakenly thinks that our Jinyiwei is unreliable and no longer trusts us, he will be injustice."
Wu Mengming said with some depression.
"There is no way to do this. Next, everyone is more loyal and diligent in doing things. The emperor is a sensible person and will see the loyalty of our Jinyiwei!"
Sun Yunhe replied.
"Um."
Other Jinyiwei agreed.
Yijinyiwei also shouted with the people: "Good kill!"
The other Jinyiwei laughed.
...
"How can I kill it? Alas, the people don't know the details, they only know how to shout randomly, not know the pros and cons, and they are stupid!"
Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites in a casual clothes, couldn't help but sigh after hearing many people shouting that they were good at killing, and started to speak to Li Ruhua, the Minister of Personnel who came with him.
"The people didn't know anything. They thought that the death of Mr. Huang would make His Majesty give up on this strict law, but they didn't expect that Gu Bingqian suddenly became the Minister of Justice, which made Li Xiuwu unable to escape now, and even asked a group of scholars to follow him to pay their lives!"
Li Ruhua sighed.
"I heard rumors on the streets that Gu Kunshan could quickly become a Grand Secretary Kou. It was Fang Shihong, the son of Yuanfu, who operated it. Do you think Yuanfu's original intention also wanted to kill Li Sancai?"
Sun Ruyou asked.
Li Ruhua thought for a while and said, "It's better to ask Yuan Fu in person and go directly to the cabinet!"
"Go together!"
Sun Ruyou immediately replied.
...
cabinet.
Han Yu and Wang Xianggan have already questioned Fang Congzhelai.
"Yuan Fu, what's going on? Why did Gu Kunshan suddenly become the Grand Secretary?"
Han asked first.
Wang Xianggan also said, "Yes, and Gu Kunshan has executed the imperial edict so quickly. Today, Li Sancai and those troublemakers will be executed."
"How could I know? Someone just heard that Li Sancai was scolding the servant before he was executed. Like Liu Yifeng, they took it upon themselves. It was because the laws of heaven and the laws of the country could not tolerate him, and it was not our side that could not tolerate them. What did he scold him do? The servant did not force them to do these things that were sorry to the court."
