Chapter 386: A Real Exam (Part 2)
"Ma Xiaobao is not guilty, arrest Zhang Dongsheng!"
When this sentence came out of Xu Buji's mouth, Zhu Wenkui was stunned.
He even felt a little caught off guard.
On the way before Zhu Wenkui came, Zhu Wenkui had already started to hypnotize himself constantly. The father meant to give himself the courage of Cao Cao, and do whatever he wanted, no matter whether he wanted to do it.
Judging from the existing evidence link, all testimony is not good for Ma Xiaobao, and it will be much simpler afterwards.
Defend the seriousness and authority of the law.
Do your business according to law and punish Ma Xiaobaoming for his righteous canon!
But now, Xu Buji gave himself a completely opposite answer. The content he interpreted was to capture Zhang Dongsheng.
"Why."
Zhu Wenkui's tone was very calm, and he even restrained himself from expressing doubts. Therefore, this was not a rhetorical question, but a statement: "In terms of the evidence at present, the blame lies with Ma Xiaobao. Why did Xu Butang suggest that this palace arrest Zhang Dongsheng?"
Xu Buji laughed.
"What is the truth? Does Your Highness think it is important?"
“Isn’t it important?”
Faced with Zhu Wenkui's inquiry, Xu Buji simply stood up and walked around the bright and noble central hall.
"This furniture is made of very good wood, and the porcelain objects placed there are also fine products produced by the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. What kind of virtue is the right person? Just a missed juren. A few years ago, I never dared to dream of that one day I will be the Minister of Personnel, and this is the most prominent official in the world."
It was completely a bad answer, but Zhu Wenkui instantly realized it.
Xu Buji started his career in a disgrace. The incident that happened back then affected many innocent people, which was not mentioned by the official.
Isn’t the right or wrong more than the relationship between this case?
Did it matter?
Right and wrong are not important in themselves. What is important is that Xu Buji is now the Minister of Personnel and is the most popular political star in the Ming Dynasty's political arena!
That's enough.
"The truth of the case itself is not important. What matters is what kind of truth is beneficial to Your Highness. What truth you need is what the truth is."
Xu Buji spared and sat back on his original position, smiling as if.
"Your Highness, do you think, do the people believe in Ma Xiaobao or Zhang Dongsheng?"
"From the perspective of emotions, everyone believes in Ma Xiaobao, including me."
Speaking of this, Zhu Wenkui already understands everything.
The story told by Zhu Yunwen mentioned Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If it is just to highlight the different results caused by the different personalities of their two people, then the Battle of Guandu is the most vivid example.
The partial success, Zhu Yunwen cited it, is an example of Cao Cao's appointment as the Northern Territory of Luoyang.
When Cao Cao was the Northern Territory of Luoyang, he was rude to the powerful and powerful people. Even the relatives of the powerful ten regular attendants had been killed!
This is a very obvious reminder.
Don’t worry about whether the powerful or the powerful is wrong. In cases, what the people hope and like to hear is the powerful and the wealthy are wrong.
Then it's fine to follow the people's will.
"For the plaintiff and defendant in this case, the truth is very important, because it is related to their life and death, but for your Highness, it is not important. You are the prince. Whether they are the children of officials or the people of Guizhou, there is no difference."
This is like in front of Zhu Yunwen, Yang Shiqi, the chief minister of the cabinet, is the same as an ordinary person, and life, death, honor and disgrace can be decided in one sentence.
It’s just that Yang Shiqi is stronger, killing him and squandering his strength.
"The public security in Nanjing is not very good at the moment. There are too many powerful and noble children, which makes the city and outside the city chaotic. At this time, you can use Zhang Dongsheng to make the people who are watching the fun shout and reap the hearts of the people.
It can also shock other powerful children, so that they dare not be too silly and disrupt public order. They have completed the errands that His Majesty has given you to kill two birds with one stone. Why not do it?
Do you still think it is important to weigh the pros and cons in this way, right and wrong, and the truth or not?"
Zhu Wenkui licked his lips, and Xu Buji's words opened a window for him, allowing him to truly see politics in person. He pushed open the window and opened the door. From this moment on, it means that Zhu Wenkui has stepped into this circle.
We must learn to maximize the benefits of everything.
"But there is no truth, it's too unfair to Zhang Dongsheng."
"fair?"
Xu Buji laughed as if he was listening to a joke: "After this Zhang Dongsheng was killed, he enjoyed the blessings that ordinary people would never dream of in their entire lives. Is this fair?
How can the things in the world be measured by the word fair? While a person enjoys the honor brought by injustice, he must also pay the price brought by injustice.
His identity was destined to sacrifice him in this case. The greater the power, the more people must sacrifice. You said, didn’t His Majesty sacrifice much?
The Xiaguan did not want to hide it too much, but the Xiaguan still hopes that Your Highness, you can truly calm down and take a look at the collection of His Majesty's quotations. By that time, you may understand many things, not just what you see.
What you value is not actually important.”
Zhu Wenkui's face became more and more numb.
The greater the power, the more sacrifices a person must be.
Zhu Wenkui was hard to empathize with this sentence, and he had never seen a short film called "Three Bars".
Injustice is the rule of heaven and earth, and everyone is suffering from the pain and benefits brought by injustice.
The benefits Zhang Dongsheng enjoyed were wealth and suffering throughout his life, and the pain he endured was that when a case was unclear, his identity was destined to be a victim of public opinion.
The people who occupy 99% of this country are the Guizhou people like Ma Xiaobao.
Everyone in the world believes in Ma Xiaobao, even if Ma Xiaobao is clearly cheating Zhang Dongsheng.
The Ming Dynasty would never disappoint everyone in the world for Zhang Dongsheng!
In front of the country, Zhang Dongsheng can be sacrificed!
Without this courage, Zhu Wenkui would never be the crown prince in his life.
Because his father, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen, was willing to sacrifice everything for the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunwen could not accept it, and his successor lost this courage and perseverance.
The fifty-sixth century is destined to be the era when the country faces the most significant changes, because once steam comes out, productivity and social forms will occur once, which has never happened in thousands of years before. Under such a huge challenge, an emperor with absolute power in a country must firmly hold his heart.
Know how to strive and give.
How courage should you have to give?
Zhu Wenkui doesn't understand or be afraid, because he is still young and he hasn't tasted the beauty of power that he hasn't tasted, so naturally he will not accept the poison of power.
At this moment, Zhu Wenkui only knew that he was determined to follow the path Xu Buji had already pointed out.
Arrest people and determine cases!
