My Daming New Empire

"Ma Liangyuan is bleeding too much and is now in a coma. I will go back immediately and prepare blood-enriching medicine to treat Ma Liangyuan."

Only then did Zhu Zhanji feel relieved and asked, "Is she okay?"

"If Ma Liangyuan can wake up tomorrow, the problem will not be serious. It's just that the trauma is too heavy, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to give birth in the future."

Zhu Zhanji sighed. "People safe is good."

A group of court ladies came out with blood-stained quilts, and the inside had been cleaned.

Only then did Zhu Zhanji enter the room, and several court ladies knelt down holding a little guy with a wrinkled face. "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, and saw Ma Liangyuan's pale face on the bed, sleeping there.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at this kitten-like, unattractive child, but his heart was extremely soft.

This is new life, this is hope.Even though they have gone through hardships and dangers, no one will give up the responsibility of inheritance because of fear.

Chapter 61 Vomiting Blood Again

In Yingtian Mansion, the yamen of the Ming court were almost all concentrated in the area between the south of the imperial palace and Chang'an Square.

However, two yamen are no longer among them, one is the Ministry of Punishment and the other is Dali Temple.

Because these two yamen are responsible for punishment and trial, Dali Temple is located on the west side of the imperial city, near the center of Yingtianfu City.The Ministry of Punishment is located between Chaoyang Gate and Chaoyang Gate in the inner city, and the location is even more remote.

This is mainly because the Ministry of Punishment also has an important ancillary building, which is the prison.

For more than a month, the imperial court has been full of uproar because of His Majesty's personal conquest and grandson's supervision of the country. The Ministry of Punishment has also aroused everyone's attention because of the detention of a large number of Shandong officials and the family members of the six major grain merchants.

Except for the era of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was no other period where dozens of officials above rank seven were imprisoned at one time in the sky prison.Because there are too many people in prison, the sky prison is not even enough, so the six major grain merchants and their families can only be detained in the prison of Dali Temple.

Although the prison of the Ministry of Punishment has a good reputation, the conditions are relatively good. Many officials can enjoy the treatment of one person and one room, and they can also enjoy the time to relax.

In addition to these, as long as the family has money to clear, they can read, write books, and even play chess and drink tea with other officials.

Many ministers even took Tianlao as their home and wrote many great works.

Of course, this is only the treatment that officials can enjoy. Like those gangsters, bandits, and horse thieves, they can only live in the dark basement, or even in the water prison, waiting for the end of their lives.

From the eruption of the Shandong case in the first month to the imprisonment of these officials in February, the three-divisional joint trial organized by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple has conducted more than ten interrogations.

Most officials have confessed to their mistakes, but there are still many officials who insist that they are not at fault.

In the assessment of officials in the Ming Dynasty, a very important criterion was population and taxation.

The immigration policy will make ordinary people leave their homes, and the low food price will also hurt the enthusiasm of ordinary people to grow food.

The imperial court asked officials to improve their political achievements, but at the same time encouraged the people to migrate and suppressed food prices. Therefore, this formed a contradictory relationship.

Against this contradictory background, it is understandable that some officials are not convinced.

Therefore, even if there is a joint trial by the three divisions, most of the officials in charge of the interrogation will sympathize with them, because this is indeed a paradoxical phenomenon, and these officials cannot be blamed entirely.

But in the era of imperial power, you don't care about your problems. If you are not obedient, that is the biggest mistake.

Therefore, the contradiction now is not whether these officials are right or wrong, but how to measure the crime.

A mistake is definitely a mistake, but whether it is a heavy sentence or a light sentence, and what kind of standard should be used to judge it, is the most difficult thing.

Daming is not a place where the law is not respected, and everything must be done according to the law.As long as it is not rebellious, even the emperor cannot do whatever he wants.

Because orders that do not conform to the law will be refused by the ministers, the emperor can't personally carry a knife and cut off the prisoner's head!

The emperor and the ministers are managing and being managed, but sometimes they complement each other.

Of course, ministers want to implement the emperor's will, and under normal circumstances, they dare not challenge the bottom line of the law and the emperor's patience.

The trial of the big case in Shandong must be reasonable and even more legal. Any attempt to exonerate the criminal will be regarded as an accomplice.

The ministers inevitably felt cold-hearted, and tended to give a light sentence, but a light sentence must also find a reason for the light sentence, not whoever says it is light can be light.

It dragged on for more than a month, and all the details of the case were investigated during the joint trial of the three divisions.

Not a single official was sentenced to death, and more than [-] officials were demoted and transferred to other posts, and made meritorious deeds.More than a dozen of them were dismissed from office and sent three thousand miles.

There are more than a dozen of them who are neither serious nor serious, but they just lost their official positions, and they don't even need to be assigned, and they even retain the Wenxun rank.

In a situation like this, as long as the limelight passes in the future, it is still possible to take office again.

However, the officials were not so polite to the six major grain merchants.

Regarding their disposal, Zhu Zhanji had already set the tone from the very beginning, that is, to confiscate their property and send them abroad.

Because this is Zhu Zhanji's attitude from the very beginning, so all the trials of these officials are based on this tone.

They didn't want to find out how big the fault these businessmen were, but to make the trial process conform to what Zhu Zhanji said at the time.

This is also the face that all the officials gave to the grandson of the supervisor.

Zhu Zhanji was furious at the beginning, and said that he wanted to distribute these grain merchants who were against the imperial court to the outside of the Great Wall and Nanyang. Naturally, they would not let Zhu Zhanji's words fall to the ground.

Most people are satisfied with this result.However, for the Kong family, they are absolutely not satisfied.

Of the six major grain merchants, their family occupies two of them. The Kong family has been a big landlord in Shandong for hundreds of years.In these years, the land controlled by the family has been expanded to tens of thousands of hectares.

Their family also has two branches responsible for the sale of grain, one for the north and one for the south.

But now, more than 100 people from the two branches have not only had their property confiscated, but also the shops of the Kong family have been seized, and now all of them have to be distributed to Beihai.

In the eyes of the civil officials, this disposition is already merciful, but in their view, it is killing them all.

On March 28, the day before the verdict came down, the officials were stuck at the time when Zhu Di was going to sea, and the results were not released until after he left.

But when Zhu Di left on March 26, it would be too conspicuous for you to present the trial results on March 27, so they pushed it to March 29, as long as you present the trial results before the Great Court Meeting on April [-].

Kong Lenan has a relationship with the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, so he knew the result one day in advance, which made him feel like a concubine.

The Kong family is currently suffering from a leaky house and continuous rain. The raids on the two grain stores and the confiscation of hundreds of thousands of shi of grain have already hurt their vitality. Now they can't even keep their clansmen. How can this be done.

In the afternoon of that day, he got into the carriage again, hurried out of the city, and headed for the hot spring courtyard.

The Hot Spring Bieyuan is only [-] miles away from the capital. Now that a concrete road has been built, it can be reached directly by horse-drawn carriage in an hour, which is not much slower than riding a horse.

Before Shen arrived at the other courtyard, he was about to park the carriage in an open space outside the courtyard as usual, but was expelled by the guards. "Who is coming, driving is strictly prohibited."

The groom yelled "Master" outside, Kong Lenan opened the curtains, and saw that there were many more guards outside than before.

He opened the door of the carriage, and when he got down, he bowed his head and said, "Kong Shi Le Nan, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Guozijian, wants to pay his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
