Royal Gold Magistrate

As soon as they heard that the matter was close to Zhang, the officials who were asked about politics immediately pricked up their ears.

Fang Zhengyi is a guy who has always been reasonable and unforgiving, I'm afraid Zhang Shi will not be able to get any better!

In addition, the crown prince didn't deal with Zhang Shi very much on weekdays, so this time the two came together, it must be Fang Zhengyi who dragged the crown prince over.

This kid was probably afraid that Zhang Shi's death would not be miserable enough, so he dragged the prince to step on him again.

It must be so!

If he acts so surlyly, I'm afraid the court will not be safe for a day in the future!

Many people became more and more anxious when they thought about it, and they couldn't help but start to worry about it.

Emperor Jing put down the memorial and said with a smile: "Oh? But it will be clear in a day's interrogation?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already cleared the interrogation. He is still cooperative, so I didn't spend much effort." Fang Zhengyi said respectfully.

"Since I let you manage Jinyiwei, how do you think Zhang Shi should be punished?"

As soon as these words came out, some people couldn't help but look sideways.

Here comes the key question, where is Fang Zhengyi's bottom line? Everyone can see a point or two today!

Fangzheng glanced quietly to the side, and then said calmly: "I think that although King Wu rebelled, Zhang Shi didn't know about it, so it is too much punishment to treat it as a traitor."

"Although he conspired with the king of Wu to traffic in smuggled salt for profit, he has no other crimes other than that, and he can be regarded as impartial in his position."

"Even so, the embezzlement of the salt industry is not stingy in search of the people's fat and anointment, and the death penalty is unavoidable."

"So... I think, Your Majesty, please give Zhang Shizhen a glass of wine, and then ransack his family, and his family will be dispatched to the army."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the courtiers beside Emperor Jing suddenly changed.

Be amazed!

They all looked at Fang Zhengyi with incredulous eyes.

What a hell of a day!This Fang Zhengyi is pleading for Zhang Shi?

The elders in particular looked at each other in blank dismay, exchanging information with each other's eyes.

Li Yansong's old eyes were full of confusion. He thought that Fang Zhengyi understood something, but the scene in front of him was beyond imagination.

Isn't this kid the kind of person who must take revenge?When did you become so magnanimous?

Emperor Jing didn't speak for a while, but just looked at Fang Zhengyi, and the situation in front of him greatly exceeded his expectations.

After a while, he said, "Do you know what you're talking about? The king of Wu rebelled, and if he colludes with him, he is considered a traitor."

"It was kind of me to cut him off in public, but now you want me to give him poisonous wine to give him a face?"

"Your Majesty, King Wu's rebellion is a matter of the face of the Tian family. This matter should be handled in a low-key manner. I also consider it for your majesty's sake." Fang Zheng said neither humble nor overbearing.

Emperor Jing glanced at him strangely, then looked at Li Yuanzhao beside him and asked, "What are you doing here again?"

"My son heard about this, so he came along to have a look." Li Yuanzhao still smiled.

"Then what do you think about this matter?" Emperor Jing asked.

"My son thinks that what Lao Fang said is reasonable. Zhang Shi is a veteran of the two dynasties, and we can't make a conclusion just because of one mistake. My son thinks that if he is simply punished severely, it may chill the hearts of others."

Hearing Li Yuanzhao's words, Emperor Jing felt inexplicably relieved: "Go on."

Li Yuanzhao nodded: "Everyone has selfishness, and it is reasonable to make mistakes. My son lives in the eastern suburbs, where there are hundreds of people, and there are not a few people who steal in private."

"I found that heavy punishment can deter people for a while, but it can't solve the problem at its root. After a long time, there will always be people who steal again."

"After this incident, the son-in-law made rules for the subordinates. At first, everything was strictly managed. If any violations were discovered, the offenders would be turned over to the government along with other involved parties. However, it was found that the effect was not good. The rest were severely punished. In spite of worrying about fish in the pond, he is also absent-minded when doing things, and every time I go down to hear the news, I will keep my mouth shut."

"Those who steal are not all lazy people, and many of them can even be called conscientious. Heavy punishments are frequently given, and the following people will talk about their sons and ministers not thinking about their old love, which often discourages their enthusiasm."

"So I think that the most important thing in management is the combination of rewards and punishments."

"The original intention of the punishment is to protect or inspire others. Killing someone is already the heaviest punishment. No matter how cruel the punishment is, it will be just death in the end. But if the punishment is too severe and chills the hearts of the courtiers, the loss outweighs the gain."

The courtiers in the room opened their mouths wide and looked at Li Yuanzhao, their eyes full of confusion.

No... Didn't the crown prince learn from Fang Zhengyi and hate everyone?How did it become like this now?

Generous, magnanimous, magnanimous, just like a benevolent king!

What about the prince who jumped up and down? !Was it really educated by Fang Zhengyi?

Thinking of this, many old ministers were filled with relief, feeling that the future of the country was hopeful, stretched out their sleeves and wiped the corners of their eyes...

Fangzheng was also full of relief in his heart.

It seems that the prince has really grown up very fast, and he has been busy during the time he left... He even started to study management?

Emperor Jing was completely shocked, and took a deep look at Li Yuanzhao.

Taking another deep look at Fang Zhengyi, he asked, "But he did collude with the rebels. Is it wrong for me to want to destroy the three clans?"

Li Yuanzhao immediately said loudly: "Father did the right thing! But as I said just now, the punishment itself is not important, what is important is the consequences of the punishment!"

"Zhang Shigui is a veteran of the two dynasties, so he had to remember his past achievements and punish his whole family just because of this incident. If such a heavy punishment chills the hearts of the courtiers, the younger ministers will worry that their words will be blocked."

"If things go on like this for a long time, everyone will be at odds with each other, everyone will take self-preservation as their best thing, and if they are lazy in government, then the people in the world will probably suffer."

Fang Zhengyi hastily answered: "Your Majesty, this is a time when the world is at peace, and it is not appropriate to want to kill recklessly."

"The ancients said that sages are noble and magnanimous, but the world is inferior. In the hearts of the ministers, Your Majesty is a wise king who has both civil and military skills. His generosity and benevolence will definitely make a proper decision. Please learn from Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jing is already in full bloom at this moment!

A rational monarch, with great power in his hands, is actually most afraid of talking.

The affairs of the world are so complicated that one person cannot manage them alone.

Originally, the prince had a stubborn temper, and he would become impatient with a little discipline from others, but now he has learned to take the initiative to consider other people's opinions and start with the overall situation!

He chuckled and said, "The two of you who sang and harmonized came to me to start class! Since there are so many people here today, then all the lovers will tell you how to punish them? Master Li, tell me."

Li Yansong took a step forward, bowed first, and said, "Veteran on the case of Zhang Shi does not dare to speak too much, please ask your Majesty to order everything! However, I would like to congratulate Your Majesty! The prince is wise, benevolence so far is really a blessing for all people, a blessing for the family and the country." !"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The crown prince is wise!" A large group of courtiers followed suit and bowed down in unison.

Li Yuanzhao couldn't help raising his head, proudly crossing his waist...

Emperor Jing still had a smile on his face, feeling refreshed all over his body. Seeing his son's frightened face, he suddenly said with a serious expression: "This Nizi only occasionally speaks surprisingly, he is still far behind!"

"Then since you have nothing to say, please step back first, I have something to talk to them alone."
