Chapter 222 Refuting the imperial decree
"Speak to the Emperor!"
The next day, Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came to the imperial study with a memorial from the Three Fa Departments.
"This is the progress of the retrial of the three courts of Yansheng Gong. Please check it out."
After reading it, Zhu Qizhen threw the memorial aside: "Is the Three Laws ready to turn over the eulogy for Kong Yanjin?"
Cao Nai smiled bitterly and said, "This is the result of the Three Laws. All the circumstances have been sorted out. Indeed, there is no evidence to investigate Kong Yanjin's reverse case."
Zhu Qizhen said: "So what will the Three Laws plan to deal with it?"
"Since you are innocent, you will naturally be released."
Zhu Qizhen said bluntly: "Tell them that I am not satisfied and let them re-examine them. Also, don't play tricks with me. If you find out that the Three Laws are suspected of being favored and abused by the law, you must calculate their crime of deceiving the monarch!"
"this……"
Cao Nai has already started to want to run away. What a bullshit cabinet chief minister, isn’t this pure and a slutty bag?
All officials felt that they were too cowardly and could not argue with reason.
The emperor thinks you are turning your elbow out.
I am obviously dedicated to the public, but in the end, both ends of it are not humans!
Seeing that he was still, Zhu Qizhen became more and more dissatisfied and said, "Didn't you hear it clearly? I asked you to send the order now!"
Cao Nai made a fuss in his heart, do I, the chief assistant, want to be face-saving?
In desperation, he had to bite the bullet and said, "I think that since the emperor asked the three officials to conduct a trial, he suddenly interfered hard, and I am afraid that it is inappropriate."
“What’s wrong?”
"The king and his subjects have their own principles, and they all have their own responsibilities."
Zhu Qizhen sneered: "What does the monarch and minister have the right to be righteous? It is obviously nonsense. With my salary, how can I not fulfill my order? I will issue an order to me immediately."
Cao Nai sighed and said, "I obey the order, and the cabinet will draw an edict!"
Now, although I am reluctant, I seem to be helpless.
But soon, the court was slapped in the face.
Because the Ministry of Justice directly refuted the order!
The so-called ban is to prevent the emperor from making any mistakes, so the decree is sent to the offices of various departments and the officials of each department are qualified to return the decree.
It means that we do not implement this will.
However, refuting is not a trivial matter after all, and it is absolutely necessary and will not be used easily.
Once enabled, it means that things have reached an irreconcilable point.
So, the three old men were reluctant to discuss.
The Zuodu Censor Yang Shan was a little worried and couldn't help but say, "I heard that the emperor was furious and was extremely dissatisfied with this. What do you think?"
Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Justice, took a sip of tea slowly, and seemed unscathed and said, "The imperial edict has been rejected. From a legal perspective, we will not obey the imperial edict."
Yang Shan nodded and sighed, "It's really shocking to be tried. They actually humiliated the loyalty and kindness of the country to this point, and they were so unscrupulous and whispered to the point of being called a horse. In that imperial prison, many upright people suffered humiliation. If we only asked about this case and let them do whatever they wanted, God knows how many people were to be wronged, and even more so many people were to suffer!"
Xue Xuan, the minister of Dali Temple, then said: "The eyes of countless people in the world are looking at us. Is it a devilish life or a famous thing for thousands of years? It's only today! Now, I have to show my confidence that I am the only one. Otherwise, so many people are poisoned, how can I feel at ease?"
Yang Shan nodded and said, "That's the most!"
The three of them quickly unified the front line, and Yu Shiyue said: "That's it, let's settle the quarrel as soon as possible and can't drag it down any longer."
The next day, as soon as the latest interrogation results were announced, it immediately caused an uproar.
The biggest crime of the Jinyiwei accused Yan Shenggong of affair was that he had an affair with the White Lotus Sect and conspired to rebel. After investigation, it was found that the matter was completely false.
The reason why Yan Shenggong confessed his guilt was that he was a reproach.
As for the crimes of selling private salt and forcibly occupying people's land, they were all done by subordinates in the Duke's palace. Yansheng Gong was not strictly supervised and was responsible for being inattentive.
And release the news, the final judgment will be two days later.
At that time, the people in the market can come to watch the trial to ensure the fairness of the judgment.
When the news came out, scholars in the capital rushed to tell each other, preparing to witness the acquittal of Yan Shenggong.
Creating such a great momentum is also putting pressure on the emperor. At that time, the people will come to watch and will definitely support Yan Shenggong for being innocent, and the Three Justices can be regarded as following the public opinion.
The so-called public opinion cannot be violated. Even if the emperor is reluctant, he must think carefully.
…………
In the Northern Fushi Department, a large number of Jinyiwei have begun to gather quietly.
All the thousands of households and hundreds of households received orders and took action immediately.
Zhu Ji had already returned to the capital from Jining. He first met Yuan Bin, and then the two of them quickly entered the palace.
Seeing Zhu Ji come back, Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up a little. These days, he has been waiting for news.
"How is Qufu going?"
Zhu Ji replied: "When you return to the emperor, the Confucius Mansion and relevant personnel have pleaded guilty and been punished. Everyone has evidence and physical evidence. I promise that the Kong family is finished!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly changed into a murderous look and said, "Today, the eucalyptus is not just the Kong family. All the literati will do their best to attack you and put pressure on me. This is a tough battle. Are you ready?"
Yuan Bin said cautiously: "It's ready."
Zhu Qizhen stared at Yuan Bin and Zhu Ji tightly at this time and asked, "Can the Jinyiwei be useful?"
This sentence, to outsiders, is inexplicable.
The Jinyiwei was originally the emperor's personal army, how could it be unusable?
But Yuan Bin understood the profound meaning of this statement. The Jiangnan smuggling incident was very involved. People were arrested by the Jinyiwei, and basically they were officials, gentry, aristocratic families, and scholars.
Nowadays, scholars all over the world want to eat their flesh, drink their blood, and then crush their bones and ashes, and it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in their hearts.
This time, he extended his sword to Yan Shenggong, undoubtedly to fight to the death with scholars.
And this time, it will be the last chance for scholars.
They will spare no effort to counterattack the Jinyiwei through the Yansheng Gong's encyclopedia.
If this battle is won, the shanghai system established through the imperial examination system over the past century will collapse.
What the Jinyiwei needs to do is to completely turn it into a hawk and dog, kill those selfish literati without leaving any remaining!
Only by removing these resistances can the emperor implement the new policy throughout the world.
As for the so-called reputation, it is not something I have to consider!
Yuan Bin said without hesitation: "Emperor Yiwei, everyone is willing to serve the emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded with satisfaction, took a deep breath, and said, "That's good, then...it's time to start!"
Yuan Bin politely said: "I will obey the imperial edict!"
Chapter completed!
