People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 353 Zhu Biao who was emptied, Liu Ji's showdown

"Your Highness said that the Yingtian government office has selfish intentions, but where does His Highness get the evidence?

Could it be that His Highness insists on thinking that Zhang Yi is innocent just because His Highnesses prefer Zhang Yi?

This kind of thinking is not the blessing of a king!

Now that the emperor is traveling far away, and the crown prince is in charge of the country, His Majesty told the minister before leaving that he must assist the crown prince well!
I really can't bear the crown prince's confusion in this matter, which will damage His Royal Highness's dignity!
Please, Your Highness, don't interfere with this case, and give justice to the law! "

"Your Majesty, please don't interfere with this case, and give justice to the law!"

"Your Majesty, please don't interfere with this case, and give justice to the law!"

Zhu Biao took a deep breath. He suddenly asked about this matter, thinking that he could get support from one or two people.

Even if someone objected, they would be given an excuse to interfere in the case.

Others don't know Zhang Yi, Mrs. Li.How could Zhu Biao not understand.

Especially Lao Mo...

He himself is Jin Yiwei, it is impossible for him to make such a low-level mistake.

But Zhu Biao's difficulty was that he didn't want Lao Mo to be exposed, nor did he want Jin Yiwei to be exposed.

Jin Yiwei had already visited the cell last night, Li Shi and Zhang Yi are fine, Lao Mo bears most of the criminal law!
When Mao Xiang came back to report, Zhu Biao's heart was already on fire!
From the time when the school was inspected, Lao Mo was Zhu Biao's most important person, although because of his personality, he was not suitable to be a leader.

But definitely the best guard.

Such a person is slandered as an adulterer, and no one understands the disgust of the Yingtian government office better than Zhu Biao.

But now, all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are actually supporting that person.

This is the first time for Zhu Biao to face the officials directly and stand on the opposite side of the officials.

A deep sense of powerlessness came from the bottom of his heart.

He had stood behind his father countless times to watch him face the officials, but it was only when he stood in front that he understood the overwhelming pressure.

Zhu Biao also wanted to be like Zhu Yuanzhang and become stronger.

But he also understood that he did not have such prestige.

Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige has been gained all the way in the past ten years.

Just when Jewelry didn't know what to do for a while, it came from outside:

"The queen is here!"

Baiguan's attention returned from Zhu Biao to the rear.

Empress Ma walked slowly with the support of Mrs. Xie.

Seeing Mrs. Xie, Li Shanchang seemed to have an idea, but he lowered his head and didn't show it.

"We have met the Empress!"

With the appearance of Empress Ma, the tense atmosphere among the ministers seemed to disappear.

Although this kind woman seldom interferes in state affairs, in the hearts of these courtiers, she has unparalleled hope.

Zhu Yuanzhang's temper was very hot. Many times, when he couldn't stop doing things, it was Empress Ma who comforted him, so that the emperor could calm down.

But for those who hope that something will happen to Zhang Yi, the appearance of Queen Ma here is not good news.

"What's the matter, everyone's swords are on the verge...Although state affairs are the most important thing, you should pay attention to your health!"

Li Shanchang quickly said:

"Reporting to the queen, we are only admonishing His Royal Highness, not to interfere with the judiciary with personal feelings...

The situation is like this, the pure-hearted Guanzhu, the direct descendant of Longhushan, Zhang Yi, the second son of Dazheng Zhang normal, implicated him because his mother-in-law committed adultery!
This also involves the embezzlement of 1000 taels of silver..."

Li Shanchang was impartial and told the matter to Queen Ma.

Finally, he added:
"This matter is a trivial matter, and under normal circumstances, the Jiangning county government can solve it, but the Jiangning county magistrate is afraid of Zhang Zhenren's power, but pushes the Meng family out!

The Meng family had nowhere to turn for help, so they went to the magistrate's yamen!
That's why this case fell into the magistrate's office!

This case itself is only a small case and should not cause waves.

It's just that the Taoist leader of the Zhang family was quite popular, so he asked his young daughter-in-law who hadn't passed the family to bring the Kong family son to stop the second and third princes' cars.

The two princes were probably also young, so they easily believed each other's words, so they yelled for His Royal Highness to help find justice..."

Empress Ma heard the words, nodded slightly and asked:

"This matter, the second and third child have done it before. As the prince, how can they easily interfere with the affairs of the court? As far as this matter is concerned, we should fight!"

She changed the subject and asked:
"Mr. Li, do you think that little real person in Longhu Mountain is innocent?"

Li Shanchang lowered his head and said:

"I don't know!
The minister is not familiar with the real Zhang family, let alone the man and woman who committed the crime!
It's just that I feel that the imperial court has its own rules!

This matter should be managed by the Tianfu government, and should be managed by the Tianfu government!
Just because we have a good relationship with someone, we can't insist that he must be innocent!
If this is the case, where do I put the law of Ming Dynasty?

If there is a real problem with the prefect of Yingtian, it has its own censor platform, the supervisor of Dali Temple...

If His Highness the Crown Prince took action just because of Zhang Yi's friendship with Huang Zi, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to His Highness the Crown Prince's prestige!
especially……"

Li Shanchang said:
"Use Jin Yiwei..."

Zhu Biao's face turned cold, and Li Shanchang predicted his prediction.

"Jin Yiwei is an ominous weapon, even His Majesty cannot easily touch it!
You don't need to use Jin Yiwei, who is His Highness planning to let participate in the trial?
Could it be that a small case of adultery and property embezzlement still needs to be tried by the three divisions?
It's not that I don't understand His Highness's love for brothers, but I just remind His Highness not to forget those officials who worked hard for Ming Dynasty.
But Mo chilled their hearts! "

After Li Shanchang said something, he said it in a high-sounding way, and he pointed to a certain official kneeling beside him and said:

"Just like Mr. Hu, his own son violated the law, and he did not hesitate to bring him to justice. This is the true nature of my Ming officials.

Just and unselfish!
Your Highness, please have confidence in my Ming officials!

I believe that if Zhang Yi and his mother-in-law are really innocent, a small prefect of Yingtian Prefecture will not be able to turn black and white..."

"Mr. Li, what you said is very true!

That being the case, let's put this matter on hold for now...

Mr. is busy with government affairs, so don't spend too much time on this matter, go back! "

"Minister, please leave!"

Li Shanchang retreated with all the officials of Zhongshu Province and six ministers.

After Zhu Biao and the others left, he snorted coldly:

"A small government office in Yingtian Mansion can't tell the difference between right and wrong, but if all the civil and military officials in the court help, so what?"

He was a child after all, and in front of Empress Ma, he still burst out the anger accumulated in his heart.

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she almost knelt down.

The members of the Xu family have always known how to measure, and she also knows her own faults, her mouth is broken...

So she naturally didn't want to hear things she shouldn't hear.

"Old Xu's daughter-in-law is all her own, it's okay!

I am tired of seeing you standing here, why don't you go over there for some tea and something to eat? "

Mrs. Xie wished that Empress Ma would distract him, so he left quickly.

When there were only mother and son here, Empress Ma smiled half-smile:

"Now you know it's not easy to be an emperor?"

Zhu Biao nodded:

"In the past, the ministers looked at the emperor and made too many decisions, and the ministers felt that the emperor did something wrong!
But it was only when he really put himself in the situation that his son understood the hardships of his father!
If it weren't for Zhang Yi's incident, Erchen probably wouldn't have realized what it means to be ostentatious! "

Zhu Biao laughed at himself. He had long realized that when his own interests were at odds with those of the officials, he had already been emptied by Li Shanchang.

The so-called let all the officials come by themselves, but if all the officials are focused on one goal, they all want Zhang Yi to die.

As the crown prince in charge of the country, his government orders cannot actually go out of the palace gate.

"Then what should you do?"

Empress Ma always had that kind expression on her face, she said:
"Now that your father is not here, you are the ruler of Ming Dynasty!
The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture has a problem, and you know it too!
But the officials wanted to protect him and insisted on teaching Xiao Zhangyi a lesson, and even killed him!
what do you do "

Zhu Biao instantly felt a mountain of pressure on his heart.

He is not Zhu Yuanzhang, and Li Shanchang and the others dare not use this method against Zhu Yuanzhang.

To put it bluntly, because of his lack of prestige, Li Shanchang and other officials regarded him more as a child than an "Emperor".

"You want to use Jinyiwei. Now that you understand your father, why did you set up Jinyiwei?"

Zhu Biao nodded silently. He remembered that Zhang Yi once talked to him about a topic called "The king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world...".

The kings of all dynasties can fight rationally with their officials under these words.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was different. He was not an emperor from a powerful family, which made him very disgusted with this sentence.

Since you can't learn to rule the world with a group of officials, you naturally need an organization to fight against the scholar-bureaucrat group.

"But using Jinyiwei is not a good idea!

Jin Yiwei is a double-edged sword, if you move, it will be bad for your reputation!
Unless you have to, you can't easily use Jin Yiwei..."

Queen Ma smiled softly:
"Zhang Yiyou Mao Xiang watched, the worst plan is to dispatch Jin Yiwei to rescue him!
But if you do this, it will be equal to the test that your father leaves the capital and entrusts the world to you, and you screwed up yourself!
How to deal with this matter is just a test of your father's hard work in cultivating you, whether you can do it well depends on yourself..."

"mother!"

Excited, Zhu Biao directly called the queen his long-lost mother.

"My son is ignorant, please teach me my mother!"

"Your mother and I are just a woman, how can I know how to govern the country, but I believe that my son will be able to do well!"

With the isolation of his mother, Zhu Biao finally calmed down.

The aggrieved feeling in my heart is also suppressed in my heart.

Empress Ma didn't give Zhu Biao any advice, but seemed to calm his restless mood.

She got up and took Mrs. Xie away, as if she just came to drop by.

However, when Mrs. Xie appeared beside Empress Ma, she had her own stand.

Knowing the position of the government of Xinguo, Zhu Biao was somewhat comforted.

At least in this court, he is not alone.

Isolated?

Thinking of these four words, he seemed to think of the content of the emperor's mind that Zhu Yuanzhang reminded.

No group is monolithic.

Being a king is all about dividing and conquering, checks and balances.

Li Shanchang did not support him interfering in this case, so what about the other person?

Just when Zhu Biao thought of the other party, someone outside informed him that Liu Ji begged to see him.

"Hurry up and invite Mr. Liu!"

Liu Bowen, as another means to check and balance the Ministry of Education, is also Zhu Biao's best choice to intervene in this case.

Liu Ji was quickly invited in by the eunuch.

Zhu Biao said:
"Sir, what's the matter?"

"His Royal Highness should already know that this minister is here for the case of Qingxinguan!

Someone reported to this official yesterday, saying that the government of Yingtian government deliberately framed Qingxin Guanyin and its views, and arrested them all..."

Liu Bowen briefly introduced the case.

Zhu Biao was thoughtful. It seemed that Zhang Yi asked for help through Mengyao, not just through Zhu Xi.

As the censor Zhongcheng, Liu Ji has the duty of supervising all officials.

Apart from Jin Yiwei, the officials were also very afraid of him.

It is a good thing for Zhu Biao to have Liu Ji involved.

Zhu Biao said:
"In that case, Mr. Liu should intervene in this matter. Try to find out the truth..."

Liu Ji smiled wryly and shook his head, thinking of everything at Yushitai just now, he also felt touched.

Unknowingly, because of many problems, I seem to have been isolated by my colleagues.

The former leaders of the Eastern Zhejiang faction may not have the power to command them at this time.

If I ask rashly, I am afraid that my colleagues will read a book instead.

He was expressionless, and when Zhu Biao finished speaking, he said:
"Actually, the current situation of the minister is the same as that of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, but waited for Liu Bowen to say: "Stop!"

These two words made him silent.

"The people who set up this game are very smart, they took advantage of the aftermath of the incident of being admitted to the imperial examination a while ago, and took advantage of the dissatisfaction of the officials of the DPRK and China with Zhang Yi, to form this situation that is universally enemy!
The minister believes in the innocence of Li Shi and Zhang Yi, and many ministers in the court are actually not fools!
It's just that in this game, everyone's standpoint hopes that Zhang Yi will learn a lesson!
It doesn't matter if it's true or not!

They needed an outlet, but poured out their dissatisfaction with Longhushan!
Now, Zhang Normal's family members are in prosperity, and it is His Majesty's decision to enroll in the imperial examination!
Baiguan has no reason to trouble Zhang's father and son!
Under normal circumstances, they would not dare to make any moves while His Majesty stayed in the capital!
But His Majesty is not in the capital, and the prince is young.

This is probably their only chance to teach Longhushan a lesson! "

"What do you mean, the mastermind...was already..."

"There is no mastermind, or in other words, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all complicit!"

After Liu Bowen's analysis, Zhu Biao had a feeling of irony.

To make the officials of Eastern Zhejiang, Huaixi, and other factions put down their prejudices and deal with one person at the same time, this kid Zhang Yi can be regarded as a stab at the sky.

However, thinking of such a situation, Zhu Biao felt that this matter was more and more difficult to handle.

he asks:

"Then Mr. Liu, you also want to choose to be wise and protect yourself?"

Liu Bowen's position, he himself made it clear that he wanted to help Zhang Yi, but only if he could help.

If this matter is not handled well, he himself will be implicated.

Starting from the reform of the tax law, Liu Bowen's own status is also in jeopardy.

"If I want to be wise and protect myself, I will not come to His Royal Highness, I understand the balance of pros and cons!

But sitting in the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, I still have the word "justice" in my heart!
But the weight of these two words is too heavy, and I don't know if I can bear it!

So I want to ask Your Highness to give me an answer! "

"what is the answer?"

Zhu Biao was puzzled.

"Your Highness, do you still have the identity of Huang Mu?"

Liu Ji cut to the chase.
