Domineering Daming

If it weren't for the current emperor, the cabinet is too strong and the army is too strictly controlled, and I am afraid that there will be big troubles.

With such power, how can it be said that there is no grass and no food?

The problem came back again, and the core problem was: the emperor and the cabinet were too anxious and forced the local government too much. Too hasty made them lose room for maneuver and couldn't be as comfortable as before.

Li Youtang frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that my old nest in Ming Dynasty is too heavy and lasts too long, so we can't use emergency medicine, strong medicine, let alone tiger and wolf medicine. Judging from the problems that have erupted since the 'New Deal' , if the imperial court is willing to spend some time, it can be handled properly. The price to be paid for such an urgent push for the 'New Deal'...may be very high."

Li Youtang said modestly that the government and the public have always been worried that the process of the "New Deal" would lead to the terrible result of the premature death of the Sui Dynasty or the Wangmang New Dynasty.

Zhu Xu also admired Li Youtang very much. This person is thoughtful, behaves moderately, knows the law and abides by etiquette, and is a person who can inherit the past and usher in the future.

Bi Ziyan regarded Li Youtang as someone who could inherit his mantle and inherit his political legacy.Zhu Xu hoped that he could grow steadily, and that he would join the Six Departments and the cabinet in the future to take over the new situation of Ming Dynasty after Sun Chuanting.

Zhu Xu was looking forward to this in his heart, so he patiently explained: "Now that the disaster is serious, the national strength is weakened, and the people's hearts are declining, I want to complete the reform of the 'New Deal' within this period of time, because during this period of time, all contradictions can be seen. It must be clear that once the disaster is over, the country will recover rapidly, and those contradictions will be hidden by prosperity. It will take dozens of times of effort to resolve them. It may not be resolved in decades... Do you think, I To wait or not to wait?"

Li Youtang originally thought that the current reform would encounter the greatest resistance, the disaster was too severe, and it would be easier to restore the country's power, but now he understands that the emperor and the cabinet have considered it this way.

He thought about it seriously, raised his hand and said: "I am stupid, thank you for your enlightenment."

Zhu Xu took the teacup and said flatly: "I know that this kind of reason can't convince you, and it can't convince people who think like you, but no matter how scholars and folks talk about it, if there is a problem, it can be discussed and digested internally, and it must not be spread. , causing division, the whole court must maintain the same agreement with me and the cabinet, there must be no criticism, and no stumbling blocks will be held back, this is an iron rule, anyone who dares to touch, I will never forgive!"

Li Youtang quickly raised his hand and said, "I understand."

Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said, "Well, you have done a good job in the State Administration of Taxation. You are well-founded and relaxed. Sun Ge has praised you in front of me several times, encouraging yourself, and guarding against arrogance and impetuosity."

Chapter 1411 The Land Lawsuit Showed to Sun Chuanting

Li Youtang was calm as usual, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge, I will retire."

Zhu Xu was even more satisfied, and watched him leave.

When he left, Zhu Xu shook his head emotionally.

The time that Ming was in was really too critical. Those European countries would soon enter the colonial era. The Ming Dynasty couldn't slow down a bit, but it was delayed by the disaster.

Zhu Xu wants to complete the domestic reform as soon as possible and open the feudal gap, which is the sea trade.

It is now the 11th year of Chongzhen in history, and there are still about seven years to go before the disaster.

"It's been too long, I can't wait..."

Zhu Xu let out a breath and said to himself.

Cao Huachun didn't seem to notice Zhu Xu's soliloquy, so he stood aside with Fuchen in his arms.

Little Ciye came over with a plate of clothes, and asked curiously after listening, "Father, why is it taking too long?"

Zhu Xu stood up, took it to change clothes, and said casually: "Ten years is too short, seven years is too long."

The little guy was startled and didn't understand, but Zhu Xu had already entered the room to change clothes, so he turned to look at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun bowed and said, "I don't know either."

The little guy said "oh", then turned around and went to the inner room to find his mother and concubine.

After Zhu Xu changed his clothes, he was going to go out to sea to see the situation of the fishermen along the coast of Shenlong Mansion.

When Zhu Xu went out, Sun Chuanting had already appeared in Shenlong Mansion, whether it was by accident or on purpose, his carriage stopped beside the Provincial High Court.

The coachman went down to check, stood outside the window and said, "Master, the wheel is broken, I'm afraid it won't be repaired in a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Chuanting's captain of the guard came over, inspected carefully, looked at the iron filings stuffed into Gulu, approached the window, and said in a low voice, "My lord, someone did this on purpose, and he will eventually fail his duty."

Sun Chuanting was looking at the memorial book inside, looked up at the plaque of "Three High Courts", continued to look down at the memorial book, and said, "If it's broken, fix it."

The coachman was startled, and hurriedly said: "Yes."

Seeing that Sun Chuanting did not take the blame, the captain of the guard glanced at the guards of Jiangsu governor's office who were leading the way, and said in a low voice again: "It is difficult for us to notice that we are able to get close to the vehicle. It must be someone from Jiangsu governor's office, and the route was also arranged by them."

Sun Chuanting put down a memorial, with his usual expression on his face, he said: "He just destroyed the car, he didn't poison me to death, it's not bad, what else should I pursue?"

The captain of the guard was sweating coldly, and hurriedly said: "The general will be convicted!"

Sun Chuanting waved his hand lightly, sitting on the carriage as motionless as a mountain.

In the far corner, two people in regular clothes have been observing. Not long after, an old man walked up behind him, looked at him, and said in a low voice, "Have you got out of the car yet?"

The two people quickly raised their hands, but were pressed down by the old man again, they could only whisper: "Since the carriage stopped, there has been no movement at all, and the curtains have been lowered."

Looking at Sun Chuanting's quiet carriage, the old man tugged at his beard and said, "Be careful, don't be discovered."

"Yes." The two quickly raised their hands, turned around again and stared at Sun Chuanting's carriage intently.

The old man turned around like a thunder, Dali Temple, in Court No. [-] of Dali Temple, a case is being judged.

This case is an extension of the "New Deal". The Department of Prisons and Prisons of Jiangsu sued Pang Yingcheng, a large householder in the Yingtian Mansion, for stealing and embezzling other people's land.

On both sides of the court, stood the plaintiff of the prison department, Pang Yingcheng, and his lawyer.

The lawyer stood and looked at the judge in the courtroom, talking eloquently, and said, "Your Honor, as I have said before, the witnesses and material evidence are also here, and I will make the final statement: First, Mr. Digui is a fair trade, as evidenced by the transaction title deed of Shangyuan County Yamen. Second, the victim, Liu Digui, also stated that there was no coercion. His old mother was sick and needed money, so he bought the land. Witness and material evidence All here, I ask the judge to acquit my client, release the sealed land, and ask the prison secretary to publicly apologize to Pang Yuanwai! My client is kind, generous, and has a very high reputation in the local area. Injustice!"

When Pang Yingcheng heard this, he quickly licked his big face, and said with a smile: "There is no need to apologize, just judge, and just return my innocence."

The judge didn't speak, and the prosecuting officer of the Criminal and Prison Division on the other side had an ugly expression on his face, staring at Liu Digui at the witness stand.

Because Liu Digui retracted his confession, they are extremely passive now.

Liu Digui lowered his head, shrank his neck, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at them at all.

A prosecutor stood up with a serious face and said: "Your Honor, first, we have Liu Digui's autographed statement, which records in detail that Pang Yingcheng colluded with the doctor, deceived him, robbed him of his fields, beat him We have already caught his wife, the doctor, and the thug. With their confessions, everything can be clearly proved that Pang Yingcheng is the mastermind behind the scenes. He just wanted to usurp Liu Digui's fields. Please judge the judge and confiscate the fields. Return it to Liu Digui, and severely punish Liu Digui!"

The lawyer sneered, and said: "The prosecutor, a doctor, a thug, empty teeth, in front of the client, in front of black and white, wanted to frame a famous official, my lord, I suspect that the prosecutor took bribes and intentionally Frame!"

The prosecutor was furious, but before they could speak, the lawyer continued: "If they didn't accept bribes and intentionally framed my victim, then I would doubt the ability of the prosecution department of the prison department. To convict a man?"

"No matter what the sentence is today, I will write a letter to Zheng Canzheng of the Governor's Yamen afterwards. I want to ask who the salary of the Criminal and Prison Department is paid to, and how they became prosecutors! I will also write a letter Write a letter to the president of the Three High Courts and Mr. Wang Ge of Dali Temple. I want to ask if the judges in the court have too much time. How do you accept such an unsubstantiated case? Did you join forces to oppress the people like this?"

The lawyer spoke eloquently, with cadences and cadences.

"Well said!" A young man in the auditorium was very excited and responded loudly.

"well said!"

"well said!"

One after another, people talked, all praising the lawyer for what he said.Not only these scholars, but also some ordinary people also felt that it made sense, and followed suit.

"Not guilty!"
