I'm really not doing business

Chapter 218

Weng Dali was actually here to watch the excitement, and he and the Tiqis deviated in the detection direction.

According to the past murder cases, the probability of committing the crime by acquaintances is more than [-]%. That is to say, if you really want to solve a murder case, you can look for it among the people around [-]% of the deceased. It will exceed [-]%.

Weng Dali, as the right servant of the Criminal Ministry, in Zhou Shichen's murder case, after finding out that the maid He Hua had an affair with the butcher Lu Jin, he naturally came to the conclusion that the butcher Lu Jin was the murderer.

Zhou Shichen's ancestors were very prominent. He was Zhou Shou, the younger brother of Emperor Xianzong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Zhou. More than 100 years have passed in the Wanli period. The family has two hereditary titles of Qingyun Hou and Changning Bo. During the Hongzhi period, she was the empress dowager for 17 years.

The battles among relatives in the Xiaozong Dynasty were also mainly concentrated in the Empress Dowager and Queen Zhang's family.

Zhou Shichen's ancestors were also rich, but in his generation, Zhou Shichen's life has been very difficult. If Zhou Shichen didn't gamble, his life could not be said to be very comfortable with the salary of the hereditary Jinyiwei commander, but at least he could live.

After Zhou Shichen's first wife died, Zhou Shichen couldn't afford to remarry, so he stayed with his maid He Hua, and his life was not considered extravagant. He Hua had resentment in her heart, joined forces with an adulterer to kill, and the adulterer was a butcher, everything was so reasonable.

Because it was involved in the big Meishikou case, Tiqi intervened, arrested everywhere, and finally dug out the real culprit behind the scenes.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Congcheng, the captain-in-law, could actually commit suicide to complete the friendship, but the Tiqimen still surrounded Xu's mansion heavily and brought Xu Congcheng to justice.

"Why do you bastards arrest me! I am His Majesty's uncle! I even hugged Your Majesty, you eagle dogs, get out of my house!" Xu Congcheng immediately came to the front hall when he heard the movement, growling angrily.

Zhao Mengyou looked at the person in front of him, how much effort His Majesty had put in to cheer up the Ming Dynasty, in Zhao Mengyou's view, His Majesty, who was born noble, had no need to do it at all, but as a kinsman, Xu Congcheng would be fine if he didn't cooperate with His Majesty to cheer up. Taking advantage of his status as a relative of the emperor to commit crimes and misconduct.

Your Majesty took so much effort to open the Xishan Coal Mine, and fought with the courtiers round after round. Is Your Majesty looking for trouble?Isn't it to let the people of Gyeonggi breathe a sigh of relief?
Xu Congcheng didn't understand His Majesty's excitement.

He waved his hand and said, "Take it away."

"Zhao Mengyou! You wait! You will die!" When Xu Congcheng was pushed down, he was extremely angry. He is a relative of the emperor!
Daming dealt with the imperial relatives more than once or twice. During the Jiajing period, the methods used to deal with the two brothers of the Zhang family were much crueler than this.

When the relatives of the emperor cannot become the emperor's patronage, they must make up their minds to goug out this piece of carrion.

Wang Qian helped his father put out the coal, and had been paying close attention to this case. When he saw a group of Jinyi Guards gathering in front of the Xu Mansion, saw the Xu Mansion being broken down, and saw Xu Congcheng being detained, he smiled. Continue to check the coal.

In fact, when Wang Chonggu was putting out the coal, he discovered that the frenzied Xu Congcheng was accumulating coal for bombing and driving up the price of coal, but he could only doubt it, and he couldn't do anything about it. His Majesty's uncle was involved, even if His Majesty repeatedly showed that he would not tolerate it. , but Wang Chonggu never dared to gamble.

Xu Wenbi reminded His Majesty that this matter can only be handled by His Majesty himself.

Emperor Mingzu precepted that the emperor's relatives and relatives should only be questioned by the emperor. This is based on two levels of consideration. The people below the investigation, how many dare not in-depth investigation, what if the emperor himself is involved?
Zhu Yijun issued an order to arrest Xu Congcheng, took into custody all the servants, grooms, housekeepers, etc. at home, and began to walk slowly to ask questions.

This case will definitely be handled after the Chinese New Year.

As soon as Xu Congcheng's house was copied, Zhu Yijun received another memorial from his uncle requesting an audience.

Zhu Yijun has two uncles.

Only one of the eight sons of Emperor Jiajing has descendants, and that is Emperor Longqing. Among the five princesses of Emperor Jiajing, only two have descendants, one is Princess Ning'an, the other is Princess Jiashan, and the daughter of Xu Congcheng is Princess Jiashan.

Princess Zhu Luge of Ning'an brought Li He, the captain-in-law, to the palace to have an audience. First, she went to the Palace of Compassion to Ning to meet the Empress Dowager Li. Did not meet the emperor's aunt and uncle.

Three days after Xu Congcheng was arrested, Zhu Yijun summoned Li He, Duke of Ying, Duke of Ding and Duke of Cheng, Duke of Qian'an, Qi Jiguang, first assistant Zhang Juzheng, second assistant Lu Tiaoyang, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice in the side hall of Wenhua Palace. Shangshu Wang Chonggu, Dali Temple Minister Lu Guangzu, and the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Hai Rui and Ge Shouli.

On one side are relatives, and on the other side are civil servants.

If you look at the official ranks, most of the Xunqi on the left side are super-rank, the consort is the fifth-rank, and the highest on the right is the first-rank and the first-rank.

First of all, Ti Shuai started the whole process of reporting the case.

Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou said very solemnly: "At the beginning of March, Xu Congcheng, the captain-in-law, began to instigate cunning people to set up a trap against Zhou Shichen, so that Zhou Shichen would lose all the little money left in the family and owe a debt. In order to repay the gambling debt of 500 taels, Zhou Shichen tried every means to repay it, but he still couldn’t pay it off, so in the winter of this year, Xu Congcheng sent servants to trick Zhou Shichen into setting fire.”

Zhou Shichen is addicted to gambling, but relying on the prestige of the empress dowager back then, the family still has some background, but in the gambling game, he was slaughtered as a pig, and Zhou Shichen who was cheated was heavily in debt. When they were all captured, the documentary evidence was an IOU written by Zhou Shichen himself, and the physical evidence was a gift passed down from generation to generation that Zhou Shichen mortgaged to the gambling house.

The reason why it is said that Zhou Shichen was slaughtered is that there are many other people besides him who were also slaughtered, and this is not an isolated case.

The croupiers in the gambling house know gamblers too well, and they always use various methods to deceive people to the point where they are bankrupt and debt-ridden.

The witnesses, the evidence, the evidence, the ironclad evidence is like a mountain.

The dealers of the gambling houses are all cunning people in the city. Most of them do various illegal activities among the powerful and rich. , but to take shelter of the consorts, captains, nobles, and ministers can be done blatantly.

"On the third day of December, the thief Zhu Guocheng found Zhou Shichen and asked Zhou Shichen if he would like to do something big. Zhou Shichen was forced by gambling debts and went to Meishikou Street to set fire. According to the confession of maid He Hua and servant Wang Kui , At this time, Zhou Shichen still doesn't know who is setting up the trap for him, but for the sake of money, he went to set fire." Zhao Mengyou presented documentary evidence that Zhou Shichen was slaughtered as a pig, and he was slaughtered twice.

"It's worth noting that Zhou Shichen didn't get the silver promised by Zhu Guocheng, 500 taels. The son-in-law captain Xu Congcheng never thought of paying this money."

"According to the account of the robber Zhu Guocheng, the arson should have been caused by five people separately. Zhu Guocheng and his three brothers, knowing the crimes, dared not go there. Zhou Shichen set the fire alone. After the arson case, the imperial court firmly arrested Zhu Guocheng. Lieutenant Xu Congcheng discussed it, but he could only see the servant Zhao Shiyin."

"Zhu Guocheng killed Zhou Shichen, and the servant Zhao Shiyin arranged for Zhu Guocheng to escape, and was finally captured by Tiqi."

Zhao Mengyou finished the whole process of the case.

The other uncle of the emperor, Li He, the captain-in-law, after hearing what Zhao Mengyou said, frowned slightly and said: "This family has a big business, so there are inevitably some moths. To earn some money and do some dirty work, how can it be said that it was ordered by the consort Captain Xu Congcheng?"

"There is no evidence to support Xu Congcheng's instructions. Such a conclusion is all Xu Congcheng's conspiracy. Qi Wan can't accept such a skinny verdict."

The meaning of Li He, the captain-in-law, is: Xu Congcheng is clearly clean, and the courtiers should not slander the emperor's relatives!

These cases were really linked together, and it wasn't the son-in-law captain Xu Congcheng who did it, but the servants did illegal things in order to please the lord.

Zhu Yijun looked at Li He, the captain-in-law, and Li He had to think of a way for the captain-in-law, and tried his best to protect Xu Congcheng. If Xu Congcheng died, Li He might be the next one.

But the attitude of the queen mother and the emperor was very clear. The queen mother avoided seeing Li He, and the emperor announced to see Li He when the foreign ministers were present.

This made Li He very passive.

Zhao Mengyou said again: "Your Majesty, there are certificates of Xu Congcheng's maid and housekeeper, which can prove that the above-mentioned things were all instructed by Xu Congcheng himself. Xu Congcheng is very clear about driving up the price of coal and so on, and the Empress Dowager of the Xiaozong Dynasty rewarded the Zhou Mansion with a number of treasures, which can be material evidence."

In three days, Zhao Mengyou pried open the mouth of the person involved in the case, and completely supplemented the chain of evidence. Luo Sigong had a miraculous ability to dig three feet into the ground, and dug out all the hidden evidence.

The corner of Li He's mouth twitched, and he looked at the three princes. The three princes did not agree at all. In the final analysis, this case was a contradiction and conflict organized by the Xishan Coal Bureau. Before the preparation of the Xishan Coal Bureau, the emperor took the three When the Duke called this side hall, the three Dukes had already chosen to surrender.

"Beating is just a trick." Li He still defended stubbornly.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Li He and said, "This case has been well-founded, and those who did it are just faithful. How can we be negligent and lightly slander this case?"

Zhang Juzheng's meaning was very clear, if Li He wanted to defend Xu Congcheng, he had to change the point of view, saying that Xu Congcheng didn't know, and His Majesty already knew from this point of view.

In order to handle the case well, the emperor even went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to get a driving ticket before starting to arrest Xu Congcheng.

Li He read the case file for a long time, and finally chose to give up Xu Congcheng's defense of ignorance, because Xu Congcheng really knew.

What a fool!
There is an incident recorded in the case file. In September, Xu Congcheng received a pair of jade beads from the Empress Dowager of the Xiaozong Dynasty from Zhou Shichen. He also specially recruited a group of people to appraise the treasures. A set sequence.

Li He really didn't know how to continue to defend, Xu Congcheng was so stupid.

Xu Congcheng insisted on the imperial court's decree, which was stupid in itself.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me a little with the friendship of relatives." Li He changed the angle, the friendship of relatives, after all, is the relative of His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun said earnestly and earnestly: "In order to break the wind of appeasement in Ming Dynasty, sir, how many people have you offended? How many things have you done? This wind of appeasement has finally stopped a little bit, at least not To protect the face, Daming is a little bit excited, does uncle mean to let me forgive Xu Congcheng, the captain-in-law? If Ming can't be cheered up, how can I have the face to go to the Taimiao to pay homage to my ancestors?"

"The fire at the mouth of the coal market, 120 people were burned to death, and tens of thousands of catties of coal were blown up and burned. Just because he is a relative of the emperor, I want to forgive him privately. Is it true that local gentry and powerful people can also tolerate private forgiveness? The world Can everything be forgiven privately?"

"I'm a relative of the emperor. I enjoy the state's wealth. I don't think about the prosperity of the country. It's fine if I don't help me. I made such a big mistake. Uncle, what is the reason for this matter?"

Li He was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer His Majesty's question. How could he privately excuse the death of 120 people under the imperial chariot?

The strange thing is that the one who does this is only faithful, and many things are muddled. Zhou Shichen and Zhu Guocheng can be scapegoats, but His Majesty just wants to find out. Finally, the emperor's uncle went to jail Prison, isn’t this the biggest flaw in Faithfulness?
"For the sake of the royal family's face, can he be allowed to commit suicide to apologize?" Li He proposed a compromise method. Since he can't forgive privately, he should die decently and beheaded for public display, which will really damage the majesty of the emperor. The beheading at Caishikou is likely to be Zhang Juzheng's intimidation of the master, and he will never be able to escape. When the counterattack is reversed, it is also one of the crimes of Zhang Juzheng, the emperor's teacher.

If Xu Congcheng committed suicide in fear of crime, the face of the cabinet, courtiers, courtiers, relatives, and His Majesty would all be preserved.

After all, the case has not yet been clearly decided and punished, and the court is still discussing, Xu Congcheng killed himself, so we can't blame the emperor for being ruthless, right?It not only maintained the New Deal, but also maintained the friendship of His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun looked at Li He, thought for a long time and asked, "What do you think, sir?"

"I think it's very kind." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, this is for Xu Congcheng's respect, but also for the court.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "That's how it is, today's discussion, let's stop here."

"I thank Your Majesty Long En."

"Your Majesty will be sent off respectfully." Zhu Yijun stood up, and all the officials bowed their heads in salute.

Li He stood up, he had tried his best to protect the face of the captain-in-law, at least he didn't make a fuss to the point of beheading for public display, this is a good compromise.

Li He returned home, took two taels of silver, set up a banquet, and went to Fusi's prison in Beizhen to give Xu Congcheng a meal.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, save me! I am His Majesty's uncle, how dare these eagles and dogs treat me so poorly!" Xu Congcheng rushed to the cell door when he saw Li He appearing, and grabbed the doorpost of the cell, surprised And said anxiously.

"Sigh." Li He signaled Tiqi to open the door of the cell, and looked around for a week. Xu Congcheng was not doing badly in the prison. This is the top cell in the sky prison. It has a bed, a table, chairs and benches, and a toilet. .

"Let's eat first." Li He sat down, spread out the banquets he brought, and took out a bottle of Guojiao.

During the holidays, the emperor rewards each family with a bottle of fine wine brewed by his majesty. The little emperor has relatives, but not many, and if he does not commit crimes, he still recognizes his relatives. Books are fast.

"Thank you brother-in-law!" Xu Congcheng, who didn't know that his life was over, looked at the table of delicious food, his face was full of excitement, and he said with a smile: "After being imprisoned, birds have faded out of his mouth. Have you eaten?" A little fat and water, or my brother-in-law treats me well."

Xu Congcheng started to gobble it up. He drank a bowl of wine beautifully before asking with a smile, "Brother-in-law, when can I go out?"

Li He didn't answer.

Xu Congcheng gnawed on a chicken leg, and suddenly realized something. The chicken leg in his hand fell to the table, the corner of his mouth twitched twice, looked at Li He and said, "Brother-in-law, talk to me."

"Brother-in-law, don't scare me, brother-in-law, talk, when can I go out?"

"For a while." Li He then smiled reluctantly and said, "Eat well first."

"I knew my brother-in-law was scaring me!" Xu Congcheng breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to gobble it up. Tears trickled down his face as he ate, and he didn't stop until he couldn't eat anymore. Drank a few glasses of wine.

Xu Congcheng already knew that Li He was here to see him off. If he was really rescued, there would be no need to set up a table for him in the cell. Moreover, Li He didn't move a chopstick during the meal. Xu Congcheng was stupid, but When it comes to matters of wealth and life, my mind has become a little brighter.

Li He stood up, and Zhao Mengyou came in with Ti Qi, and a Ti Qi carried a plate with white silk on it.

"Brother-in-law, save me, brother-in-law!" Xu Congcheng knelt on the ground, grabbed Li He's pants, and held on tightly.

"You've committed evil yourself, you can't live." Li He signaled the Tiqi to pull Xu Congcheng away, and the Tiqi hung up the white silk, and the four Tiqi hung Xu Congcheng on the white silk.

There is no difference between suicide and suicide, both are suicides.

When Li He walked out of the cell, Xu Congcheng was out of breath.

Li He also participated in the Xishan kilns as the captain-in-law. The Jixiang Kiln, Desheng Kiln, Gongshan Kiln, and Pushuigou Kiln are all his family’s coal kilns. Everyone does it, and Li He naturally does it too, but Li He is also constantly reviewing the government's decrees.

Li He has always paid attention to letting the wind blow for a while in his life and work, to see how the government orders are effective, and then make plans.

His Majesty wrote very clearly in the preparatory edict of the Xishan Coal Bureau that Haoyou could hand over the coal mines in his hands to the Coal Bureau for unified mining, and he could also continue mining as usual.Hand it over to the coal bureau, when the time comes, everyone will just pay dividends, and dig as usual, which is not considered a rebellion, and they will continue to live the same life as before.

The three princes chose to contribute, Li He chose to dig as usual, and Xu Congcheng chose to resist the imperial court's decree. The ministers all have their own choices, and everyone has a bright future.

That's why Li He said that Xu Congcheng had done his own crimes and couldn't live.

In order to make a profit, the Meishikou was set on fire. His Majesty the Emperor, who was driven to Baoqisi to live in the embarrassment of the fire just now, is no wonder he is not annoyed.

The fire at Meishikou ended with Xu Congcheng's suicide, and the Quanchu Guild Hall became lively again. The emperor sent the eunuch Feng Bao, the supervisor of ceremonies, to come to the Quanchu Guild Hall to announce the decree with the emperor's own handwriting.

Feng Bao stood in front of the entrance of the Quanchu Guild Hall, in front of the imperial decree opened by the small yellow gate, and said: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the edict said:"

"Mr. personally accepted the will of the late emperor and assisted me in the new year. Today, the world is peaceful and the barbarians are obedient. It is Mr. Lai's contribution to Kuangbi. Mr. is loyal and honorable. My words cannot be described, and officials cannot be rewarded. Only my ancestors set the example of the sages. The descendants of Mr. You and the country have retired from generation to generation. Hereby, according to the nine-year performance appraisal, he entered the Zuozhu Kingdom with Jia Te, was promoted to the Grand Tutor, and received the earl's salary. Each wears python clothes, and the year-old Jialumi is a hundred stones, sir, I don’t want to say goodbye to your admiration.”

"Chin this."

"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng accepted the order to thank you.

"Mr. Yuanfu, this imperial decree is written by His Majesty himself." Feng Bao specifically explained that it was written by His Majesty himself. Don't refuse any more. The emperor's holy will has been broken, and the emperor's stubborn temper has made a decision. , will never be easier.

"I have a copy of "Resignation from Entity and Destiny", and I implore Your Majesty to learn from it." Zhang Juzheng has prepared a total of four memorials to resignation, and this is the second.

For the first time, he refused to say that he was not worthy of virtue, saying that he had been in the cabinet for nine years, and the country was a little better, but he still had not resolved the main contradiction, saying that his credit was not enough, and Zhu Yijun's handwriting affirmed Zhang Juzheng's credit.

The reason for the second resignation, what Zhang Juzheng meant was that it was completely unnecessary, His Majesty has gradually become wise and wise, and has been able to exercise the power in his hands correctly, and he has lived up to the expectations of the late emperor, so there is no need for him to take the position of Grand Tutor.

Zhang Juzheng still wants to retire. Gazing at the stars, studying mathematics, and traveling around the great rivers and mountains of Ming Dynasty is a wonderful retirement life.

Feng Bao didn't move, accepted the memorial, and asked Xiao Huangmen to take out an imperial decree and said: "Your Majesty's imperial edict said: It's too much to be too humble to be full? It's as good as I want it to be, and I don't want to repeat it." Firm resignation. The Ministry of Officials knows. Qin here."

The little emperor predicted Zhang Juzheng's prediction, and Zhang Juzheng wanted to find another memorial to decline, and he prepared four in total.

And Feng Bao stretched out his hand to block Zhang Juzheng's move to take out the memorial from his sleeve, and said: "Sir, the national ceremony is still accepted after three speeches, if you decline again, sir, I am afraid that you will be suspected of being a superstar."

"Ah this?" Zhang Juzheng never expected that the little emperor raised the big stick of etiquette, and hit Zhang Juzheng on the head with a stick, directly bewildered Zhang Juzheng.

This is also what Zhang Juzheng taught the little emperor. "Book of Rites Ritual Vessels" says: Three words and three concessions.

In order to show humility, the emperor would refuse to give up three times. At the third time, he chose to take office. Not only the emperor, but also the ministers appointed by the court, the ministers also had to make three memorials to show humility, which is a rule of etiquette.

The three concessions are Zhou etiquette, which is roughly equivalent to getting a marriage certificate before it is legal.

This can be traced back to Zhou Taiwang, Tai Bo and Zhou Wenwang Jichang.

If Zhang Juzheng backs down again, it means that the Megatron Lord has taken over, and he has committed the crime of usurpation. This is not good for Zhang Juzheng, not good for the New Deal, and not good for the Ming Dynasty. round of impeachment.

"I am ashamed of receiving it." Zhang Ju bowed in the direction of the palace, he had no choice but to accept the appointment, Daming was full of boomerangs, these were all cards he gave to His Majesty, and His Majesty returned them all.

Feng Bao cheerfully handed over Yinshou to Zhang Juzheng, and then went back to the palace.

Feng Bao, Zhang Hong, and Xu Jue are all close ministers of His Majesty, and they know the emperor very well, so His Majesty played cards with Zhang Juzheng, and there was no need to play cards with others.

Zhu Yijun is in the midst of being busy, because the Chinese New Year is coming.

In addition to the daily inspection of military horses, Zhu Yijun also started home visits. He randomly selected a few relatives from the list of the Beijing camp the night before, and made a surprise home visit the next day, asking the soldiers of the Beijing camp about their difficulties, and recorded them in the book.

He took time to go to Yilun Hall again, and gave a lecture on mathematics. The content of the lecture has been expanded from the four-fold interpolation method to the universal interpolation method. There are a total of 1 inmates with cumulative scores lower than 12 points in the twelve monthly exams, and seven of them are in Beijing. Zhu Yijun called his parents to the palace, and the average monthly exam score is one. study?
On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, when the woolen official factory was preparing to rest for the New Year, the little emperor went to the woolen official factory on the last day before the holiday, and met all the masters of the craftsmen, and asked them to talk about the difficulties they encountered. , Mention the opinions of the official factory.

As a result, none of them had any opinions, and all were singing praises.

"Wang Qing, did you say hello in advance?" Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this lack of opinion, and criticized Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu thought for a while and came up with an official factory annals, handed it to Zhang Hong, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I don't even know that your majesty is coming, so how could I say hello in advance? Big bosses, the power of the sky is terrifying!" , not daring to speak, but on weekdays, I don’t give up my opinions.”

"This is a summary of the opinions of many leaders this year."

Zhu Yijun opened it and read it. The content in it mainly focused on salary increase, canteen improvement, factory environment improvement, mechanical improvement, etc. Zhu Yijun read this opinion piece with great interest, and said with a smile: "I will say Without Da Si Kou, this official factory cannot continue to run, and Da Si Kou handles things decently, I am very pleased."

Only from top to bottom, that is, a tree without roots and water without a source, it is impossible to last long, and it is a good thing for craftsmen to express their ideas through a lot of heads. Wang Chonggu is willing to read this opinion and is willing to solve it. , that is the best of all good things.

Wang Chonggu, who gathers ministers of prosperity, is best at doing things and improving production enthusiasm.

"The minister who leads the emperor's order to do business, naturally does his best." Wang Chonggu smiled all over his face, and hurriedly bowed his head to thank the emperor for his praise.

Zhu Yijun continued: "I found that the most annoying thing for craftsmen is blind command. It is indeed easy for laymen to supervise experts. The problem of blind command is to blindly set goals. For this blind goal, everyone has worked hard. But being fined for failing to achieve the goal is a common means of extortion, which is absolutely unacceptable.”

"Da Sikou accompanied me to visit the Yongsheng woolen factory."

　In the Ming Dynasty, the private forgiveness of noble relatives was very serious, but in the past dynasties, the phenomenon of private forgiveness was not common.The implementation of the Eight Disciplines and Eight Proposals depends entirely on the emperor's mood, ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! !
