At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 226
"King the Emperor!"

The next day, Cao Nai, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came to the imperial study with a memorial from the Sanfa Division.

"This is the progress of the Sanfa Division's retrial of Yan Shenggong's case. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Qizhen read it, he threw the memorial aside: "Is the San Judiciary going to reverse the case for Kong Yanjin?"

Cao Nai smiled wryly and said, "This is the result of the Three Law Departments. All the facts of the case have been sorted out. It is true that there is no real evidence for Kong Yanjin's reverse case."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Then how will the San Judicial Division plan to deal with it?"

"Since he is innocent, he will naturally be released."

Zhu Qizhen said bluntly: "Tell them that I am not satisfied, let them re-examine, and also, don't play tricks with me, if it is found out that the three judges are suspected of bending the law for personal gain, you must count them as deceitful sin!"

"This……"

Cao Nai has already started to want to run away, what kind of bullshit is the first minister of the cabinet, isn't this just a doormat?

Baiguan felt that he was too cowardly to argue with reason.

The emperor thinks you are turning your elbows outward.

I was clearly dedicated to serving the public, but in the end, I was not human at both ends!
Seeing that he was not moving, Zhu Qizhen became more and more dissatisfied: "Didn't you hear clearly? I asked you to pass the decree now!"

Cao Nai was stunned, do I want to lose face as the chief assistant?
In desperation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I think it would be inappropriate for the emperor to intervene suddenly since the emperor ordered the three divisions to interrogate."

"What's wrong?"

"Emperors and ministers have the right way, each has its own...responsibilities."

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "It is nonsense to say that the monarch and his ministers are righteous. With my salary, how can I not devote myself to the king's life? Immediately give me an order."

Cao Nai sighed, and said: "The minister obeys the order, and the cabinet will draw up an edict!"

So far, although reluctantly, it seems that there is nothing to do.

But soon, the court was slapped in the face.

Because the Ministry of Punishment directly refuted the decree!
The so-called refutation is to prevent the emperor from blindly making up his mind, so the decree is sent down to the yamen of various ministries, and the ministries are qualified to seal and return the decree.

It means that we do not carry out this will.

However, refutation is not a small matter after all, and it will not be used easily unless it is a last resort.

Once enabled, it means that things have reached the point of irreconcilability.

Therefore, the three big brothers had to meet and discuss again.

Zuodu Censor Yang Shan was a little worried, and couldn't help but said: "I am very dissatisfied with the case when I heard that the emperor was furious. What do you two think?"

Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, took a sip of tea slowly, not panicking, and said: "The imperial decree has been refuted during the matter. From a legal point of view, we will not obey the decree."

Yang Shan nodded, sighed, and said, "It's really shocking to hear this case. They have humiliated the country's loyalty to such an extent, and they have been so unscrupulously beaten into tricks. How many upright people have suffered humiliation in that prison If I don't wait to investigate this case and let them behave like this, God knows how many people will be wronged, let alone suffer!"

Xue Xuan, Minister of Dali Temple, then said: "Countless eyes of people in the world are looking at us, whether it is a legacy that lasts forever, or a legacy that lasts forever, it is only today! Now, we have to show the confidence to give up to me. Otherwise, if so many people have been poisoned, how can I feel at ease?"

Yang Shan nodded and said, "That's right!"

The three quickly united the front, and Yu Shiyue said: "That's it, let's close the case as soon as possible, and we can't delay it any longer."

The next day, as soon as the latest interrogation results were announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the court.

The biggest crime that Jin Yiwei accused Yan Shenggong of was having an affair with the White Lotus Sect and conspiring to rebel. After investigation, this matter was completely false.

The reason why Yan Shenggong pleaded guilty was because of torture.

As for the crimes of selling private salt and occupying the people's land, they were all committed by the servants of the government. Duke Yansheng's supervision is not strict, and he is responsible for negligence.

And release the news that the final judgment will be two days later.

At that time, ordinary people can come to watch the trial to ensure the fairness of the judgment.

As the news spread, scholars in the capital rushed to tell each other, preparing to witness Yan Shenggong's acquittal with their own eyes.

To create such a big momentum is also to put pressure on the emperor. When the time comes, the common people will come to watch and will definitely support Yan Shenggong's innocence.

The so-called public opinion cannot be violated, even if the emperor is reluctant, he should think about it carefully.

…………

In Beizhen Fusi, a large number of Jinyiwei has quietly assembled.

All the thousands of households and hundreds of households received orders one by one and immediately took action.

Zhu Ji had already returned to the capital from Jining. He first met Yuan Bin, and then the two rushed into the palace.

Seeing Zhu Ji's return, Zhu Qizhen's eyes lit up a little. These days, he has actually been waiting for news.

"What's going on in Qufu?"

Zhu Ji replied: "Back to the emperor, the Confucian family and related personnel have pleaded guilty to the law, and the witnesses and material evidence are all available. I assure you, the Confucian family is finished!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly changed into a murderous look, and said: "The case has progressed to this day, and it is not just as simple as the Kong family. All literati will do their best to criticize you and put pressure on me. This is a tough battle. , are you all ready?"

Yuan Bin said with a serious expression: "It's ready."

Zhu Qizhen stared at Yuan Bin and Zhu Ji closely at this moment, and asked, "Is Jin Yiwei usable?"

This sentence, in the eyes of outsiders, is inexplicable.

Jin Yiwei was originally the emperor's pro-army, how could it be unusable?

But Yuan Bin understood the deep meaning of these words. The Jiangnan smuggling case involved a wide range of people, all of them were arrested by Jin Yiwei. Moreover, they were basically officials, gentry, family members, and scholars.

Nowadays, scholars all over the world can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and then smash his bones and ashes, and it is difficult to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Extending the knife to Yan Shenggong this time is undoubtedly to fight to the death with the scholar.

And this time, it will be the last chance for scholars.

They will spare no effort to fight back against Jin Yiwei through Yan Shenggong's case.

If this battle is won, the scholastic system established through the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years will collapse.

What Jin Yiwei has to do is to completely turn into a dog and kill those selfish scholars!
Only by removing these resistances, can the emperor implement the New Deal in the world.

As for the so-called reputation, it is not something I have to consider at all!

Yuan Bin said without hesitation: "Jinyiwei is up and down, everyone is willing to serve the emperor!"

Only then did Zhu Qizhen nodded in satisfaction, took a deep breath, and said: "That's good, then... let's start!"

Yuan Bin saluted and said: "Your servants will obey the imperial decree!"
