Prince of Chaos

Chapter 328 Warrior Thoughts
Round trial is no small matter.

Originally, the cabinet also wanted to complete the trial, but considering the seriousness of this matter, the cabinet was not sure to unify the thinking of the six ministries for a while, so it made a roundabout way to call the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple first. Unify your thoughts.

After all, although these three yamen belong to one of the Jiuqing, their rankings are basically at the bottom, especially the Dali Temple, almost all of them are regarded as the fringe yamen of the fringe center.

Therefore, Zhou Guanghao's psychological burden was the greatest among the three. Now Xu Zuo, a veteran, proposed a round trial. This was a good sign for both the cabinet and Zhou Guanghao.

When Wang Xijue heard Xu Zuo talk about the round trial, he was overjoyed, and felt that an old minister like Xu Zuo still cared about the overall situation, but in order to show the cabinet's reserve, Wang Xijue still said: "Couldn't the San Jue be able to hear this case? "

Xu Zuo bite the bullet and said: "There is absolutely no problem with the joint trial of general cases by the three courts, but the people involved in the Jizhen corruption case are not only those vulgar military leaders in the border town, but more likely to involve the high-ranking officials in the court." He is an extremely high official, so the lower officials think that a round trial is the most appropriate."

Wang Xijue nodded in satisfaction, agreeing with Xu Zuo's statement.

Wang Xijue asked again: "The round trial is not impossible, but once the round trial means that all the Jiuqing Yamen will participate, just like what you said, high-level officials may be involved. If these officials and the round trial What should I do if the round trial cannot be carried out if the presiding officer has certain friendship or interests?"

Xu Zuo said: "Mr. Ge, such a situation will definitely not happen in the round trial. This dynasty hates corrupt officials far more than the previous dynasty. During Taizu's time, Emperor Taizu resorted to skinning plugs in order to fight against corrupt officials. Later emperors also hated corrupt officials. In this dynasty, Zhang Juzheng abused his power and misled the country. Therefore, Mr. Ge doesn’t have to worry about this. I believe that the six government offices, the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Tongzheng Envoy will definitely understand and deal with these court moths seriously. , and return the world to a bright future."

After Wang Xijue listened to Xu Zuo's words, Wang Xijue was very relieved. With the unified thinking of this yamen, plus the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, which is cooperating with Xishan Huangzhuang, the remaining three departments of rites, officials, households and the general administration envoy Whether it is Wang Xijue or Shen Shixing Wang Jiaping, they all have the ability to make the four yamen obedient.

Therefore, Wang Xijue immediately said: "This statement is reasonable, it should be so. Then let's set the tone of the round trial now. This case has to be handled seriously, and there must be no slightest favoritism."

Xu Zuo and Zhou Guanghao immediately bowed and said, "I will obey your orders."

Xiao Daheng looked that it was his own credit.Because Xu Zuo's words became a matter of the Jiuqing round trial, he was unhappy, but when he saw the meaning of the cabinet elders and Xu Zuo Zhou Guanghao's attitude, he also knew that this matter was no longer just him. What Shang Shu can say is fine.

Therefore, Xiao Daheng followed suit and replied, "I will obey your orders."

Now that the tone of the round trial has been determined, the cabinet will inform Ciqing Palace of the meaning of the round trial.

Zhu Changluo, who was talking with Zhong Weimin in the Ciqing Palace, suddenly heard the round trial sent by the cabinet, and he didn't realize what a round trial was for a while.

"What is a round trial?"

After Zhu Changluo waited until the Zhongshu Sheren who reported the letter from the cabinet left, he asked Zhong Weimin.

Zhong Weimin replied: "His Royal Highness, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty in the trial of major criminals, the imperial court is generally divided into three jurisprudence joint trials and nine ministers' round trials, and the emperor instructs Jin Yiwei to participate in the trial. When a decisive trial cannot be reached, the imperial court generally initiates a round trial mechanism jointly conducted by the six ministries, the Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the nine yamen of the Tongzheng Shisi. The initiation of the round trial means that the imperial court has attached unprecedented importance to the case The cabinet is now launching a round trial because the elders of the cabinet are worried that the case will be too involved, so they will do so.”

After listening to Zhong Weimin's explanation, Zhu Changluo let out a sigh. The word Yuanshen still sounds fresh.

Although Zhu Changluo was familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Changluo was still quite unfamiliar with such a professional rule of law vocabulary.

However, Zhu Changluo was still skeptical about such a grand trial.

After all, sometimes there are many things that are not easy to handle when there are too many people. If there are too many people, it will become confusing and delay Zhu Changluo's idea of ​​cutting the mess quickly.

Seeing Zhu Changluo's expression, Zhong Weimin could guess what Zhu Changluo was thinking, and Zhong Weimin continued: "Your Highness, when the elders of the cabinet dare to report the round trial to Your Highness, it means that the cabinet now has unified six ministries and nine ministers." The ability to think, if they can't unify the opinions of the six ministries and the nine ministers, they will rush to the upper circle to review the matter, which will be a great blow to the prestige of the cabinet. Therefore, the minister concluded that the cabinet will definitely not do things unprepared."

After hearing Zhong Weimin's affirmative words, Zhu Changluo also heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that if this matter was delayed again and again, it would waste his energy and the energy of the court. At that time, let alone the reform of the Weisuo system, other reforms in the future would have nothing to do with it. Don't think about it.

Zhu Changluo said: "Well, let's do it according to what the cabinet reported. But before that, Gu will reiterate Gu's attitude towards the case. Whether it is the cabinet or the six ministries and nine officials, they must also follow Gu's meaning. Go do it, otherwise I don't mind replacing one or two people who are vegetarians."

Zhu Changluo's words were quite serious. Zhong Huamin also felt a burst of pressure when he heard Zhu Changluo's words. It seemed that the young crown prince in front of him really couldn't be treated like an ordinary person. Get up!

Li Chengliang, who returned to the Ministry of War, was worrying about how to fulfill Zhu Changluo's will. When he thought of Zhu Changluo asking him to go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to hint at Shi Xing's suicide, he felt dizzy.

He is a helpless, bare-handed Minister of the Ministry of War. Although he is apparently the boss of the Ministry of War in name, the servants and principals in the Ministry of War do not take him seriously now.

All of them disdain Li Chengliang, the Minister of the Ministry of War who was born as a military general, and they hope that Li Chengliang will make a mistake, and then they will immediately attack him in groups, telling Li Chengliang to leave immediately.

Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Li Chengliang felt extremely overwhelmed.

Just when Li Chengliang was thinking about what to do, the cabinet's intention to notify the six ministries and nine ministers of the round trial came.

When Li Chengliang saw Yuanju's decision, his goatee trembled with excitement.

"God open your eyes, Your Highness's holy light shines far away."

Li Chengliang supported the round trial more than anyone else. As long as there is a round trial, it means that no matter what the result is after the round trial, the cabinet and the six ministers will carry it together.

He didn't have to worry about how to imply Shi Xing's death.Because, once the trial is completed, it means that Shi Xing will definitely die in an aboveboard manner, and die a worthy death, and it will definitely have nothing to do with him.

At this time, the little eunuch from Ciqing Palace came again, and the little eunuch immediately summoned Li Chengliang to come to Ciqing Palace to answer again.

After receiving the order from the little eunuch, Li Chengliang didn't stop for a moment, and he immediately went to Ciqing Palace with the little eunuch who delivered the order.

Arriving at the Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo watched Li Chengliang come to Li Chengliang in a hurry.

Zhu Changluo said: "Have you heard the intention of the cabinet's round review?"

Li Chengliang replied: "I heard it."

Zhu Changluo said: "That's good, Gu will give you another task now, take advantage of this round trial and try to sort out the interior of the Ministry of War, I don't want to see a clay sculpture of the Minister of the Ministry of War, do you understand this?"

After Li Chengliang heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement, this is simply the sound of nature!

Li Chengliang knelt on the ground excitedly, and immediately replied: "The minister has lived up to His Highness's expectations, and will definitely hold the Ministry of War firmly in His Highness's hands."

Li Chengliang's speech was different from that of the civil servants. He didn't have many twists and turns, and he directly said his loyalty to Zhu Changluo, which was something that other ministers could not hear anyway.

It can be seen that warriors are sometimes cuter than literati.

Zhu Changluo said with a smile: "It's in the hands of the imperial court, and it's in the hands of the emperor father. What's the use of this military department?"

Li Chengliang said: "I understand."
