Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1486 Death

  Jiang Yan bared his teeth in pain, his eyes staring in pain, but what chilled him the most was His Majesty's attitude.

  Your Majesty is like a King Kong glaring at him. Apart from causing him pain, there is an indescribable despair deep in his heart.

  He groaned, covered his head, and fell to the ground: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

  The situation was so unexpected that all the officials were shocked.

   An unprecedented atmosphere of panic permeated everyone's hearts.

  They were full of disbelief, but they dared not express their anger.

  But seeing Emperor Hongzhi walking quickly with a wrench in his hand, his wrench pointed at Jiang Yan, who was like a puddle of mud, and said angrily: "How many people like this are there in my temple, how many more..."

  Jiang Yan cried, but he was...but... dignified...

   "Xiao Banban, fetch the notebook."

   Xiao Jing was also frightened, he had never seen His Majesty so angry.

  He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately took out a notebook.

   "Open, read!"

  Emperor Hongzhi sternly said, his eyes still on Jiang Yan like a sharp knife.

Xiao Jing opened the notebook, with a bit of fear, stumbled and said: "It has been verified that the money involved in the case of Ruyi Bank involves hundreds of officials: Shou Ning Hou, Jian Chang Bo, silver: 1.93 million Two. Wu Jiansheng, the head of the Criminal Department, entrusted his nephew to invest in silver: 137,000 taels..."

  Xiao Jing read one by one, and finally read Jiang Yan: "Jiang Yan, the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, appointed Jiang Zheng, a member of his clan, to invest 137,200 taels of silver..."

  These people... are all related to Jiang Yan, and almost all the guests are involved.

  Actually... It is difficult to verify each one.

But since Jiang Yan was appointed as an imperial envoy, it has become much easier. The factory guards only focus on who is close to Jiang Yan, who is the most active in overturning the case, and then locks on the target and conducts verification, almost one by one. allow.

  After all, if there is no one involved in the matter, the matter is in the past, even if it is to reverse the case again, it has nothing to do with me, I just watch the fun from the sidelines.

  But people who are related to their own huge interests are different. I heard that there is a possibility of regaining their own interests. Don't you dance for joy?

  They either wrote a letter, praising Jiang Yan for doing things impartially, or they suddenly became close to Jiang Yan, secretly encouraging Jiang Yan to take this errand in a direction that is beneficial to them.

  Can now...

  When a person was called in this book, someone in the class shuddered and fell to the ground in fear.

   When it comes to this, they even made it clear that you were involved in the exact amount of silver, do you still want to deny it?

   After a while, sixty or seventy people knelt down in Fengtian Hall.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at these people and found it funny. Usually, they all look like modest gentlemen.

"I'm scared..." Emperor Hongzhi could not help shivering with sarcasm in his eyes: "After seeing these rosters and what you have done, I am extremely scared. Where did the court owe you, how did I treat you badly?" You, but you, you dare to do such a thing for your own selfishness. You don’t know the person in front of you, but I know him. His name is Chen Zhong. He has been in the border town for a long time and has made great contributions to my Ming Dynasty. , His leg was disabled at that time, I want to ask you, now he is old and homeless, the nine taels of silver is his life-saving silver, and you people who live in Beijing, what are you doing? what?"

"This Daming is a house. I have given you a high position to repair and repair this house. What about you? You still want to light a fire in this house!

"You really wish to see this house burn down, and destroy my country and country. How can there be such heartless people like you in the world. What was written in the beautiful article you wrote when you were nominated for the gold list? You On weekdays, I keep talking about my family and my country... my family and my country!"

  Emperor Hongzhi glared at everyone, lingering at everyone.

   All the ministers were terrified and bowed down one after another: "I will die."

   Hearing the words that the minister is dead.

  Emperor Hongzhi did not have a reason, but it was to breed despair.

   He has heard too much about the word ten thousand death, but... people who say ten thousand death generally don't die.

  Emperor Hongzhi sat down on the Jindun indifferently.

  He stared at Chen Zhong who was opposite, but Chen Zhong didn't dare to look into Emperor Hongzhi's eyes.

  Emperor Hongzhi said loudly: "Chen Zhong, I'm here to ask you, what if the army is unfavorable and loses the battle?"

  Chen Zhong said subconsciously: "Cut!"

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "What if someone in the army fled the battle and abandoned the robes around him?"

  Suddenly mentioned the army, so many memories of Chen Zhong flooded into his mind, he seemed a little more confident than before: "Cut!"

   "What about harming the people?"

   "According to the military order, beheaded!"

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and fell silent.

  Hundred officials looked at Emperor Hongzhi in surprise.

Emperor Hongzhi opened his eyes suddenly: "It's a pity...the court is not in the army, so it hides filth and evil people. I am really tired of listening to these gentlemen's words. It's not that a gentleman's words should not be listened to, and it's not that a gentleman's words are not in line with my heart. But I... my heart is cold, so many great principles are for me to listen to, so many words of sages, which of these principles can rule the world as long as you follow the principles, and you can let The common people live and work in peace and contentment, but...since ancient times, soldiers and civilians have never seen what a prosperous age looks like. After thinking about it, they are Jiang Yan's people, greedy and cruel to the people, such people...should be punished!"

   When the word "Zhu" came out, Jiang Yan was terrified, his face was instantly shattered, his eyes straightened, he had forgotten the fear of despair, and immediately said: "I...you are wronged...you are wronged..."

   "No one wronged you." Emperor Hongzhi calmed down, his eyes were like an ancient well.

He stood up, looked at Jiang Yan on the ground, and said word by word: "I will not punish your three clans, nor will I kill your relatives. You will take responsibility for the mistakes you made yourself. At this time, if you complain again, Even the last ounce of kindness in me will be worn away."

  Jiang Yan's face became darker with fear, and he immediately understood what His Majesty meant.

   This is already lenient.

   Still want to make trouble?

   What are the qualifications?

  He raised his head in despair, and looked at the silent people in the palace. Suddenly, he seemed to think that he also had ambitions when he was studying hard in the cold window. It seems that when he was named on the gold list, he was also full of ambitions, but... that was a long time ago, and then...

  He trembled, slowly buried his head under his shoulder, and kowtowed: "Chen...Chen..."

  Tears shed at this moment, Jiang Yan clenched his fists, persisted, and continued: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

  Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back and never looked at Jiang Yan again: "All the officials involved will be deposed and will never be used!"

  Among the officials, someone suddenly collapsed to the ground.

   It seems that some people can't bear it, especially after seeing Jiang Yan and some people's miserable situation, they want to speak and say something.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled suddenly, and looked at everyone: "I know, seeing this situation among the ministers, it is inevitable that I feel cold, and feel that I am too mean and unkind. Yes, I saw Jiang Yan and these people. Which one, I have never met, Jiang Yan used to be in the Hanlin Academy, I have seen him, and now he is crying here, how miserable, he is a minister, and I have had a relationship with me several times, close to me, and those who ...The people who have been murdered by him, if I don't see Chen Zhong, then these people, to me, are people far away in the sky, and the people around me cry bitterly. Those people are separated from me by the palace wall, and I can't see their tears crying dry, so if I don't see Chen Zhong, I will only see Jiang Yan crying like this, and seeing his heartbroken, I will also soften my heart."

Emperor Hongzhi paused for a moment, and continued: "But if people's cries can be exchanged for the smiles of thousands of people, will Zhu Qing still feel soft-hearted at this time? I don't know what you think, and I also know that after today, It is inevitable that someone will scold me for being tyrannical, but so what?"

  He smiled contemptuously, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Starting today, the Ministry of Officials has issued a regulation for the Jingcha. The previous Jingcha is still too light, and it needs to be stricter."

  Jingcha…

   Another Jingcha article...

  Fang Jifan couldn't help but thump in his heart, Your Majesty...what is this for?

  This Jingcha, seriously, is not just for fun. What Fang Jifan was most impressed with was a Beijing inspection in Ming history.

   That is, after Emperor Zhengde came to the throne, Liu Jin, that bastard, not only wanted to show his power, but also wanted to frighten the officials.

  In the past, most of the Jingcha system was useless, but in Liu Jin’s hands, the Jingcha became serious. With the help of Jingcha, Liu Jin dismissed many people.

  Of course, this Jingcha has also become Liu Jin's crime since then, saying that he is forming a party for personal gain.

  Finally... Liu Jin was backlashed and ended up miserable!

  And now... Ouyang Zhi replaced Liu Jin, under the order of the emperor, and began to restrain the officials...

  Fang Jifan's face sank, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes... Will Ouyang Zhi's fate be better than that of Liu Jin in history?

  Ouyang Zhi came out of the class calmly after Fang Jifan had countless thoughts, and said word by word: "I... obey the order!"

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Ouyang Zhi with satisfaction.

  If there is no such a selfless person as Ouyang Zhi, he really doesn't know who to entrust the important task of Jingcha.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "First draw up a charter..."

   As he spoke, he turned his eyes and gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look: "It's best to discuss it with your mentor, he might have an idea."

  Hundred officials are already beating drums in their hearts.

  But after asking Ouyang Zhi and Fang Jifan to discuss it again, many people took a deep breath in their hearts.

   This is about to fall into the hands of this dog surnamed Fang.
