I am the king of the dead

Everyone stared at an official at the door of the study, this little official sneaked into the study, relying on his familiarity with Prince Xiang's mansion, he came to the study to rummage through boxes and cabinets.

"I don't sleep so late, what are you looking for? Do you want to come and find it for you? Gu's study, Gu knows where it is." Zhu Zhanqian's words were colder than winter snow.

Zhu Qiyu was worried that Zhu Zhanqian's temper was too good, and the case handling office failed to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys in the end.

Obviously, the emperor's worries were unnecessary. King Xiang not only had to do it, but he also had to do it in a thorough manner. No damn person would let him miss it.

Chapter 842 Sending to Jieyuan, it's fair and honest

Zhu Zhanqian caught a big fish, of course this big fish was not the guy who was sneaking around in his study, it was the clerk of Prince Xiang's Mansion, who was always bluffing like he was going to die for Prince Xiang's Mansion However, when it came to Li Yi, when he betrayed King Xiang, he was faster than other people in the mansion.

But this vine can also find a lot of melons. Jin Yiwei's ability to follow the vine is notoriously meticulous. It has not been a few days, before the Chinese New Year, Jin Yiwei has found this big fish.

And when the fish that Zhu Zhanqian caught was reported to Emperor Daming through Jin Yiwei, Zhu Qiyu was stunned.

Going around, he actually went back to the Ministry of Rites.

This big fish is exactly the new Minister of Rites, Xiao Jun, who was recommended by the prince's young master Hu Wei, and a second-rank member of the court.

When the case came to this point, even King Xiang noticed some difficulties, so he didn't announce the melon he found out, but reported it to His Majesty for His Majesty to decide for himself.

Xiao Xun has been found out, do you still want to go down?

Zhu Qiyu finished reading the case file in his hand, clutching the case file, King Xiang felt that it was tricky, so Zhu Qiyu didn't think it was tricky?

If it's just Xiao Jun, Zhu Qiyu can naturally publish the case file directly, so that Xiao Jun can't pass the year, but Xiao Jun also involves Hu Wei.

Since the beginning of the inspection and collection in the Han Dynasty, there have been joint and several responsibilities for the recommendation of the inspection and collection. Those who are involved will also be implicated and punished.

During the time of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, Yin Tianxin of Henan Province recommended six Xiaolians to join the court according to the system. However, before the recommendation was started, Tian Xin received a note from the nobles, which was full of names. One quota was reserved, and the rest were prosecuted according to the list handed over by the dignitaries. Sure enough, something happened to those recommended by him, and Tian Xin was implicated.

To punish Xiao Min, do you want to sit with Hu Min?What crime is used to even sit on Hu Yi?

Moreover, Xiao Jun was recommended by Hu Wei, and Xiao Jun did what he did, so in this matter, as Xing'an said, the mastermind behind it was Hu Wei?

After all, the chain plan this time is closely linked and seamless, without any mistakes or omissions at all. The method is so high that it is very similar to Hu Wei's method.

"It's definitely not Hu Shangshu's mastermind. If Hu Wei is a trap for me, I will definitely not find out and fall into the trick. I can only feel annoyed afterwards." Zhu Qiyu said to Xing'an: "You go and call Hu Shangshu, I want to ask How he will deal with this Xiao Xun, after all, he belongs to him."

It is indeed very similar to Hu's method, but compared with Hu's method, it is still a little bit worse, and it is a thousand miles away. It is this little bit, which is the result of success and failure.

Hu Wei arrived soon, still saluting very respectfully.

Zhu Qiyu didn't hesitate either, and directly handed over the case file to Hu Wei, and let Hu Wei see Xiao Jun's methods by himself.

After reading the case file, Hu Wei immediately understood that His Majesty the Emperor called him here just to let him express his feelings and give him a chance to confess and be lenient.

Hu Wei has a miracle card, which is the miracle card obtained from "Prevention and Hygiene Simple Prescription". If Hu Wei is really the mastermind, then the miracle card can be used.

Based on his past affection, Zhu Qiyu would not let Hu Wei lose his life in his later years.

"Your Majesty is not the mastermind." Hu Wei put down the case file, and said calmly, without any further arguments, quietly waiting for His Majesty's reaction, or Ti Qi would come in and escort him away.

Before Hu Wei came, he didn't know what happened. After reading the dossier, no matter how you look at it, it seems that there is a person named Hu Wei standing behind Xiao Yun.

This method, even Hu Wei felt like himself, but it was just like, still extremely rough.

"Well, I believe it." Zhu Qiyu looked at Hu Min's slightly cloudy eyes and face full of grooves, and said confidently.

Hu Yi was obviously stunned, and suddenly asked with a smile: "If the minister says no, will His Majesty believe it? Shouldn't the minister be taken away and go through the hall again?"

No matter what he said, he couldn't get rid of the suspicion, and it was inevitable to go to prison no matter how he looked at it.

But just one sentence, I am not, is it passed?

This was obviously beyond Hu's expectation.

Zhu Qiyu said quite affirmatively: "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people, I have always been like this, people's hearts can't be tested, the more you test people's hearts, the more you try to be renounced."

"Your Majesty..." Hu Yan didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long pause, he said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Hu Wei is over ninety years old, and he asks himself that the world affairs in this world have been seen clearly, thoroughly, and transparently, but at this moment, Hu Wei has a lot of emotions, and his expression is as calm as a mountain for a while, but this trembling hand Some powerful.

There are many ways to be an official in the court, such as fishing in troubled waters, being a monk against the clock for a day, and dying after doing your best.

It was a blessing for him to meet His Majesty, and it was also a blessing for Daming to have His Majesty.

Therefore, it is holy.

Hu Wei pondered for a while, and after organizing his words, he said: "If I come to handle this matter, I will definitely not do it like this. Xiao Xuan's handling is still a little rough, and the success is on the verge of failure."

"Because I know better than others that His Majesty and His Royal Highness King Xiang are more than close relatives. The separation between His Majesty should not start with the matter of King Yan, let alone King Zheng, but with King Xiang's son."

"Huh?" Zhu Qiyu shuddered, sat up straight suddenly, looked at Hu Min and asked, "Hu Shangshu, tell me in detail?"

Hu Wei squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Xiao Xun's actions have put the cart before the horse after all. The main purpose is to separate His Majesty and His Highness, but doing this deviates from the original intention and wants more."

"His Royal Highness Zheng Wang is the second elder brother of His Royal Highness King Xiang, but after all, since each of them became feudal clans during the Xuande period, there have been very few contacts. Whether the relationship is deep or not, the feudal clans will be separated, and the families will be separated."

"Your Highness's grief and anger are all grief and anger, but you can still find someone to avenge and vent your anger."

"But the son of King Xiang is different. It is best to be the son of the king. If King Xiang is forced to force his son to be decent."

"Then His Majesty wants to use King Xiang, so he must murmur in his heart. Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout, blossom and bear fruit."

"It really is Hu Shangshu!" Zhu Qiyu slapped the table and stood up after listening.

The emperor only felt scared, and in terms of viciousness, even a political monster like Xiao Jun who climbed from the nest of bureaucrats to the position of the second rank was still a little worse than Hu Wei.

Hu's insidious vigor is attributable to him, otherwise during the Jingtai years, he would definitely not be what he is now.

Hu Wei still refused to give up. No matter how much His Majesty trusts him, he will clear himself of his suspicions. He doesn't ask for anything else, but he doesn't want to go to the point where he won't be guaranteed at the end of the day.

After Hu's death, he was to be buried in the Jinshan Cemetery, but the king could not be buried there, but he was not eligible to enjoy the imperial tomb.

Hu Wei continued: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang is good at training his son. The son of King Xiang is well-known, but he is not without weaknesses."

"This Prince Xiang's son raised a concubine and a son. It's in Qisi Hutong, Dingxihou Street, west of the city. It seems to be the seventh gate."

"Huh?!" Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened, and he said with a frown: "Is it true?"

"It's true." Hu Wei said very firmly: "Even His Royal Highness Xiang Wang didn't know about the concealment of the king's son, but the minister knew it. If the minister knew it, it meant that others knew it too."

"How did Hu Shangshu know?" Zhu Qiyu was a little curious, since he asked, he broke the casserole and asked the end.

Hu Wei explained: "There are many three aunts and six wives who walk around the streets in the capital. I like medical skills. These three aunts and six wives deliver babies everywhere, so the news is naturally better. I have taught some three aunts and six wives some medical skills before, so I know."

"The three aunts and six wives know about it. Doesn't the whole capital know about it? How could it be so secret?" Zhu Qiyu was a little puzzled. Jin Yiwei and the fans who had heard about this matter never reported it.

The matter involved the Prince of Ming Dynasty, and it was the matter of the emperor's uncle Xiang Wang. Jin Yiwei would definitely not report it by mistake if he really found out.

Hu Wei thought for a while and explained: "Your Majesty, there are all kinds of life, cats have cats, mice have rats, and if they have different ways, they will not conspire with each other. Three aunts and six wives do like to publicize other people's family affairs everywhere, which will cause resentment, but for some secrets On the contrary, they will keep their mouths shut and keep the secret in their stomachs."

"Because of some things, once she opens her mouth, she is not the only one who suffers. There are some people they can't afford to provoke."

"It is enough to capture this concubine and the son born to the concubine. The alliance letter from King Xiang's mansion is quite different from the alliance letter from King Zheng's mansion. After this case is settled, Xiang His Royal Highness cannot argue with a hundred words."

Hu Yi always knew many secrets, which had something to do with his personality. He had to know some secrets in order to protect himself and stand in court for 50 years.

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment and shook his head and said: "I have seen the son of King Xiang, he is not a person who can't distinguish between right and wrong, and is not clear about the seriousness. It is not a good way to take the concubine and the son born by the concubine."

"Your Majesty, this statement is wrong." Hu Wei said full of emotion: "There is a knife on Sezi's head, does Your Majesty think that taking this concubine and this child means directly detaining and threatening? No, that's the way to do it, no Sven, it's rough."

"Find someone to whisper in this concubine's ear, subtly, mourning the merits of King Xiang, and then let the concubine whisper to Wang Shizi again, subtly, although it takes a long time, it will have a miraculous effect."

"Ah, this..." Zhu Qiyu was immediately silenced, speechless.

Compared with Hu Wei's whole set of serial schemes, doesn't Xiao Huang's work seem a bit rough?Not some, it is too rough!

It was so rough that even the emperor noticed the conspiracy.

"Thanks to Hu Shangshu not being my enemy, if Hu Shangshu tricks me, neither I nor King Xiang will get along well." Zhu Qiyu could only say with emotion.

His judgment was right!If Hu Yan really played tricks with him, he really wouldn't find out, he would only be annoyed afterward.

"The minister is a flatterer. Wude Shangshu has been a flatterer for 50 years. How dare you commit an offense?" Hu Wei was joking nonchalantly. He still bears the name of a flatterer to this day, and history probably will. Give Hu Wei a position as a flatterer.

But it doesn't matter anymore, people are dead, and right and wrong are judged by history.

"Then why is Xiao Hao like this?!" Zhu Qiyu was a little furious when he mentioned Xiao Hao: "Have I ever treated him poorly?"

"He's old enough to return to Beijing to be an official. He didn't do well enough. I left Hu Shangshu to make up for him. He still makes trouble like this. Why!"

Hu Wei said slightly sadly: "Your Majesty, people will change. Xiao Xun was also a person of high morals and prestige back then, but when he gets old, he becomes confused. Money touches people's hearts."

"Your Majesty, the fall of human beings is not as difficult as His Majesty thinks. Once you start, you will continue to fall."

When people are old, they always want to leave something for future generations. Obviously, when it came to Xiao Zhen, he couldn't resist the temptation, fell in front of money, and became a slave of money.

Strange?

Not surprising at all, on the contrary very common.

"Hu Shangshu doesn't want to leave something for his son?" Zhu Qiyu said helplessly.

"Every family has its own affairs. The son of the minister can take care of himself, so he doesn't need to worry too much." A scene flashed before Hu Wei's eyes. He was burning the letters in the box in the small attic before. Hu Changxiang said that the family had a lot of money, [-] Yu silver coins.

It's not a big deal to be rich, but it can definitely protect him from worrying about food and clothing.

Hu Wei looked at His Majesty who was full of heroism, and seemed to be referring to him: "It was Tang Minghuang who created the prosperity of Kaiyuan, and it was also Tang Minghuang who caused the Anshi Rebellion and broke the backbone of the Tang Dynasty. The degeneration of people may be due to A trifle, a woman, a banquet, a chat, or some gold and silver, these things of Adu."

"Even the beginning of the fall, I don't know when it started. When I found out, it was too late to regret."

After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu also understood the meaning of Hu Min's words, and asked full of doubts: "What Hu Shangshu means is that you want me to be vigilant, so don't you want to learn from Tang Minghuang? After all, Li Longji lives in Xingqing Palace, and we They live in Tai'an Palace, but they don't live in the Imperial City."

"Whoever stabs someone's fault in the face will be rewarded with a hundred silver coins. Go to Xing'an to get some silver coins."

"Thank you for the generous reward, Your Majesty." Hu Wei is also interesting. If His Majesty gives it, he really wants it, and thank you. His meaning is very clear. People will change. He doesn't want His Majesty to become like Li Longji one day. Daming Cheng It looked like the late Tang Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu finally laughed, and jokingly said: "You old master, when you were an official, you didn't speak out and give advice all day long, but engaged in some tricks of slander and flattery. After resigning from office, you started to speak out and give advice instead?"

"Speaking of business, how should we deal with this Xiao Min?" Zhu Qiyu was very serious when he talked about business, after all, he was recommended by Hu Wei.

Hu Yi closed his eyes for a moment, opened them and said, "Send him to Jieyuan."

"Hu Shangshu, I think it's better to behead the head and show it to the public. It's more appropriate to expose the corpse for three days. After all, he is a senior member of the second rank of the dynasty, and he is also within the scope of the Eight Pieces. It is not appropriate to send him to Jieyuan." Zhu Qiyu nodded the table, Think it's wrong.

Zhao Hui, the captain's son-in-law, hanged himself in prison without even beheading the capital.

Death is still worthy of death, but the punishment of sending to Jieyuan is within the eighth agreement of King Zheng, and he cannot go there;

"After all, it's a big mistake. If Xiao Xun is to be sent to Xieyuan, Prince Zheng's Mansion will also pursue it." Zhu Qiyu explained the reason again.

Whether it is suitable or not, the emperor has the final say, the root cause is that Zhu Qiyu wants to fulfill his promise to King Xiang.

"Your Majesty! They are rebelling, and they deserve to be sent to the Xieyuan Court. They are thieves inside and outside, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, so they should be admitted to the Xiejieyuan." Hu Yi immediately retorted: "Send Jiejieyuan, it's just and right!"

"What about Prince Zheng's Mansion?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a slight headache.

As the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Hu Wei is very proficient in the way of etiquette, how can etiquette be inconvenient?

He immediately said: "Someone took out a miraculous card for Xiao Xun to protect him, Xiao Xun can still be decent, since he doesn't have it, and no one helps him take it out, he can't be decent."

"Back then, the son of Xu Siqi, the general manager of Shijing Factory, was corrupt and implicated Xu Siqi. Xu Siqi also took out his own miracle card to offset it, so he reluctantly went to Liaodong, and has not returned yet."

Zhu Qiyu could only sigh with emotion, he didn't want to send Xiao Bing to Xie Yuan, after all he had been busy with Daming all his life, but what Hu Bing said made sense.

Hu Wei didn't protect him, but Xiao Jun didn't have a miraculous card.

Chapter 843 Some things, it's better not to start

Zhu Qiyu is well aware of the importance of political leeway, because political leeway has too many benefits, imitating Su Suizong's total veto will bring Daming to a dead end, especially when Zhu Qiyu is making drastic reforms to Daming .

However, there are some issues that cannot be discussed, such as cooperating with thieves inside and outside, cooperating with enemies and treason, and fooling the prince into rebellion on the land of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu originally planned to let Xiao Xun die, but even Xiao Xun's recommender, Hu Xun, didn't bother to intercede for Xiao Xun.

If things come to fruition, this will be the first senior member of the second grade of Ming Dynasty to be sent to Jiejie Yuan.

Zhu Qiyu thought a lot, and then said: "I still think that he should be beheaded to show the public, let's see, if he resists in a corner, he will be sent to Jieyuyuan, if he is honest, he will be punished, and let King Xiang continue to supervise. "

"Your Majesty is lenient." Hu Yan could only say helplessly.

Your Majesty's heart is still not cruel enough. Your Majesty has already been scolded as a tyrant, a king of subjugation, and Ling Chi several high officials in the court. Isn't that what a tyrant should do?

"After all, he is a member of the second rank of Chaozhongzheng." Zhu Qiyu ordered the table, but in the end he still didn't decide to send him to Jiejieyuan. Of course, he still had to watch the interrogation after taking Xiao Zhen.

If Xiao Xun did any tricks, Zhu Qiyu would be a little lenient, really only a little bit.

It is the supreme pursuit of the Legalists that the Son of Heaven breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. However, the Legalists who put forward this concept can only let others bear the punishment on their behalf when implementing it.

The law itself is unfair.

His Royal Highness King Xiang received the imperial edict to continue to supervise the implementation, that is to say, if Xiao Xun wanted to do it, Xiao Xun's followers would also do it, and the wealthy families standing behind Xiao Xun would even do it.
