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

Chapter 228 Public Trial
Above the main hall, the officials whispered.

Yang Shan's face was secretly smug, and he wanted to rely on these few country mud legs to reverse the case, dreaming!

When it comes to eloquence, let alone a country woman, even if everyone present is added up, she may not be at a disadvantage.

At the beginning, Tang Xinggu used his own strength to fight against the Confucian scholars, and this was just an ordinary censor under him.

As for Mrs. Zhang lying in a pool of blood, in his eyes, she was just as humble as an ant.

Zhu Qizhen on the dragon chair seemed to have a layer of frost on his face.

He never expected that this woman would be so virtuous that she would prove her innocence by dying.

It happened so suddenly that there was no time to stop it.

What made him even more chilling was that among the officials present, apart from Tang Xinggu and a small number of people who showed concern for the Zhang family on the ground, most of them were indifferent.

This is a disregard for life.

Back then, during the blocking battle at Badaling, when I saw those innocent people being killed by the enemy, I just felt so angry that I chose to go out of the city to fight directly with my blood.

Nowadays, these well-clothed civil servants and Qingliu keep saying that they love the people like their sons and are sympathetic to the people. However, when a fresh life falls under their feet, they choose to turn a blind eye.

Zhu Qizhen only felt a surge of anger rising from his heart and rushing straight to his forehead.

He really wanted to make an order to pull that bastard Yang Shan out, chop him up, and pay for the poor woman's life.

However, he couldn't do it.

The case of Yan Shenggong is the last counterattack of the Wenchen Group. If they want to implement the New Deal, their plan must be completely smashed, and there is no room for it.

If you intervene forcefully, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

This battle must be won, and more importantly, it must be won openly. Killing is worse than killing one's heart!
Thinking of this, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Wynn, send him to the Tai Hospital and order him to heal with all his strength!"

Before Wynn could answer, Yang Shan said: "I would like to report to the emperor that this woman does not observe women's festival and is suspected of making false accusations. Seeing that the matter was exposed, she committed suicide in fear of crime. I think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Qizhen gritted his teeth and said, "I said it, send it to the Imperial Hospital!"

Yang Shan frowned and said, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Qizhen was furious: "Shut up!"

Yang Shan still wanted to fight, but seeing the killing intent in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, he swallowed the words subconsciously.

He suddenly realized that the situation seemed less optimistic than he had imagined.

Huai En came down, called two young eunuchs to come forward, and sent Mrs. Zhang to the imperial hospital.

Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath, and then said: "I heard that the Sanju is going to have a final trial on Yan Shenggong's case today?"

Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped forward and said, "Go back to the emperor, that's right!"

Like Yang Shan, he was already prepared. Now that he has made a decision, he must face this moment.

After the implementation of the New Deal, it will be like changing the sun and the moon to a new sky, and the advantages accumulated by my generations of hard work will disappear.

If you don't fight hard at this time, there will be no hope in the future.

Zhu Qizhen tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked: "During the trial of this case, have the common people been allowed to visit?"

Yu Shiyue thought for a while, and said, "Justice is at home!"

"What a fair and comfortable person!"

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said, "That Zhang family just now, isn't he a human being?"

Yu Shiyue remained calm and said: "Among the common people, there are also troublesome people. Zhang's misbehavior and suspicion of framing cannot represent the people of the world."

"Tell me, who can represent you?"

Yu Shiyue thought for a while, and said: "A person who has read the books of sages, who is sensible, or a person who keeps himself safe."

"You have studied, right? Do you know how many schools there are in Yuxian County? How many children are there? Yanshenggong's mansion is ignorant of education, and they want Yuxian County to close down the school. Who is ignorant?"

"As far as I know, most of the professors in the Yuxian Academy are heretics. No matter how many schools there are and how many children are enrolled, what they read are not books of sages and sages, and they don't understand the truth. The Yanshenggong Mansion is responsible for the education of the world, and it should be rectified. This is a matter within the Yanshenggong Mansion."

Zhu Qizhen continued: "Then, the evidence, witnesses, testimonies collected by Jin Yiwei these days, as well as the confessions confessed by Kong Yanjin and others, are also part of Yanshenggong's mansion's involvement in thieves, smuggling, and disregarding human lives?"

"Returning to the emperor, after a thorough investigation by the Three Law Departments, most of the cases provided by Jin Yiwei were tortured into tricks. It is said that Yan Shenggong's mansion was involved in thieves. Kong Yanjin didn't know about it, so he should be responsible for negligence, and he can be ordered to strictly rectify the government, and hand over the people involved, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation according to law."

Facing the emperor's questioning, Yu Shiyue remained calm.

Anyway, the reputation of Jinyiwei has long been rotten. As long as I insist that it is a trick of torture, the result is obvious whether all officials and scholars in the world are willing to believe in the Sanfa Division or in Jinyiwei.

Zhu Qizhen has completely lost his patience. Facing such a group of guys who only think about their own interests, there is no affection at all.

History is like a knife, and their greatest advantage is that they have the right to speak in the world, and they can even turn a deer into a horse and confuse black and white.

So, let's close it!
"Your Majesty, I think..."

Tang Xinggu saw that the emperor was deflated, and was about to go forward to fight with each other, but saw the emperor waved his hand at him.

He was startled, this was clearly a trap, the Sanfa Division wanted to anger the emperor, in the name of being loyal and straight to death.

If the emperor orders the imperial staff at this time, or forcibly interferes with the case, then he will really lose!

Even if you convict Yan Shenggong, millions of scholars in the world will not be convinced. They will think you are a faint king, and follow Yu Shiyue's direct advice, even if you are beaten to death, they will never tire of it.

This is Wenchen Qingliu's routine. Once upon a time, he himself was one of them, and he knew the way inside it best.

The game between monarch and minister is far from being as simple as it appears on the surface.

However, the emperor was not as angry as he imagined, but said calmly: "Many people must be interested in seeing the final verdict of Yan Shenggong's case. The yamen of the Ministry of Punishment is still a bit small and has limited capacity. How about How about this, set up a temporary execution hall outside the Meridian Gate, Cao Qing's house!"

Cao Nai hurriedly responded, "The minister is here!"

"The cabinet takes the lead and selects some representatives from various ministries to form a jury. I am also included in the jury. However, the jury can only watch from the sidelines and must not interfere with the trial of the three courts."

Cao Nai was a little confused, so he had no choice but to answer: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen said again: "The decree is to follow the Tianfu and maintain the order in the city. If the people in the city come to watch the trial, no matter what their status is, they must not stop them. What do Yu Qing's family think?"

Yu Shiyue frowned, thinking to herself, it seemed that the emperor was going to let ordinary people come to watch the trial.

Although the previous interrogation stage was open to the common people, most of the people who came to watch the interrogation were scholars.

As for those mud legs, can they still affect the trend of the case?
As long as you, the emperor, don't intervene, the Sanju will definitely turn the case over!

He secretly made up his mind and replied: "I obey the order!"

…………

PS: Some friends saw a part of the plot similar to "Power Minister", and thought they had guessed the plot trend?
Just kidding, how could I let you guess...

As for the slow spraying of my code words, well, it is really slow, just spray it casually...

There are still about [-] words left in this volume, and a new plot will be opened in the next volume, striving to reach [-] words per day.

At that time, if you can't do it, then I will say it again...
