The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

"Prince An is right, Your Majesty, although the crimes mentioned by Prince Zhongshun do sound heinous, but if the authenticity of the evidence and confession cannot be proved, then there is no point in talking about these crimes!"

An old minister with gray hair and beard stepped out, echoed Situ Yong's statement, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty! Although the things that Prince Zhongshun said are very appalling, you can't just rely on these so-called evidences from unknown sources and some so-called confessions obtained by some unknown means. Let's convict a super king!

In this case, where are the laws of the imperial court, where are the punishment department and Dali Temple!Leaving aside the authenticity of these things, at least the entire process of the case is completely illegal!

If the other princes in the court are like Prince Zhongshun, they casually take their guards to surround a mansion of an important court official, and then ransack their homes and interrogate them. In this way, wouldn’t they be even more arbitrary than those royal guards in the previous dynasty? , Arrogant and domineering!

You know, Emperor Taizu had no choice but to raise the banner of uprising because he was innocently framed and framed by Jin Yiwei.

And at the beginning of the founding of the country, strict regulations were established. This dynasty will never establish Jinyiwei, which is independent of the imperial court, has an authority over the judicial departments such as the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, etc., and has independent arrest and interrogation authority. special agency!

However, what the Prince Zhongshun is doing now is different from that of the former Jin Yiwei!The same domineering and domineering, the same without the trial of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, without any arrest order, dare to directly and viciously attack the super-grade Duke who was personally appointed by Emperor Taizu at the beginning of the founding of the country!

This is simply forgetting the ancestors, against the wishes of the Emperor Taizu!Your majesty, how can the unruly behavior of Prince Zhongshun be calmed if he is not dealt with strictly?

Could it be that the ministers present are going to be the same as the officials of the previous dynasty, who are awakened by a slight noise every night when they sleep, because they are afraid that Jin Yiwei will suddenly break into the mansion without saying hello and directly arrest people, go to prison and search their homes?

A superior Duke, Prince Zhongshun, just because he has some personal grievances with him, can ignore it like this, ransack the house if he wants to, and interrogate if he wants to interrogate, what about next time?Is it going to be the turn of Weichen, the old guy who reprimanded him many times in the upper study room, and now he is rebutting him again! "

Speaking of this, the old minister's chest was constantly heaving violently, his whole body was extremely excited, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at Situ Meng full of anger, as if this big move The truth has not yet been addicted, and the next second will be like when he was a child, and he will be taught a lesson with a ruler.

At this time, Situ Meng also remembered that this old guy was the former crown prince and Taifu, and one of the most important veterans of the Supreme Emperor. He was very prosperous back then, and for a long time in the court, he was as similar as the former prime minister. , One person is under one person and above ten thousand people.

Wasn't he the one who taught the former prince himself? Later, because the former prince committed a crime, he was also implicated, and was ignored by the emperor for a long time. He was even removed from all positions in the court and sent directly to the upper study. When the wife went.

It was at that time that this old guy was not pleasing to Situ Meng, who had just entered the upper study room and started his enlightenment. After all, after the crown prince's failed rebellion, Situ Qing and Situ Meng became the only two sons, and even more so. The old guy's thorn in the flesh.

It's just that Situ Qingchen is already an adult, full-fledged, and he can't be shaken at all, so he can only vent all his anger on Situ Meng who just entered the study room, and even often finds all kinds of Such an excuse to punish him.

However, although the Supreme Emperor had very strict requirements on the education of his sons, he still did not give his master the right to punish them physically. Every time he was furious, at most he could only punish Situ Meng for copying books, and Situ It would be miserable for those haha ​​beads that were covered.

The palms of his hands are so red and swollen that he can't even hold the chopsticks because of being beaten by this old guy every day, and every time this old guy hits those haha ​​beads, his eyes are just like now, staring at Situ Meng with anger, as if The one under him who was being beaten was Situ Meng.

It was because of this that Situ Meng was so bored that he went out of the palace to worship Buddha to relax under the instigation of his companion. After that, he was assassinated and was rescued by Lin Tian, ​​and then he simply stayed with Lin Tian all the time. After staying for more than a year, it was not until Situ Qing successfully succeeded to the throne that he thoroughly cleared up many troubles left in the palace, that he returned to everyone's attention.

However, since then, Situ Meng has only returned to the palace for about seven days a month, and he is no longer a student of this old man. Instead, the emperor specially sent him a young, flexible and new student from the Imperial Academy. Officer, one-on-one individual teaching.

If the old man hadn't popped out by himself at this moment, Situ Meng would have forgotten him as a clown-like guy. Now that he thought about it carefully, he remembered that he should be the elder of the three dynasties, as if It's called Sun Ronghai.

But Situ Meng is not quite sure what position he currently holds in the imperial court, but he can roughly guess from the position he is standing in at the front right now. Even if this person has no real power, his official position is definitely not low , and seeing that he was the first to support Situ Yong and jumped out to fight against him, it was obvious that he had already secretly conspired with the Zhen family or those kings with different surnames.

Situ Meng didn't answer his words, but narrowed his eyes, thinking quickly about the relationship between Qi Guogong and this Sun Ronghai.

"Master Sun's words are very true!" Another veteran also came out, looked at Situ Meng, and said in a bad tone:

"Prince Zhongshun has neither served in the Ministry of Punishment nor Dali Temple, nor is he the censor of Yushitai. He has neither the right to participate in court officials at will, nor the right to investigate cases, arrest people, and interrogate people! If everyone in the court A member of the royal family or an official of the court, like Prince Zhongshun, does not follow the normal court handling procedures. Then, isn't the court's law in name only?

Prince Zhongshun also imposed [-] serious crimes on Qi Guogong, saying which one of the laws of the Dayong Dynasty had been violated, but what about him?What he has done in the past year is the real despise of Dayong's laws and regulations, don't pay attention to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty!

At that time in Xuzhou Mansion, even if there were problems with those officials, the specific case should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial, and the appointment and removal of officials should also be carried out by the Ministry of Officials!

Even if the lords have Shang Fang's sword, they can only be temporarily dismissed from their positions on the spot. The specific final trial and punishment should be carried out by the Ministry of Punishment!

However, he directly exceeded his authority and sent all the officials from top to bottom of the Xuzhou mansion directly to the big prison. He also joined the newly appointed Xuzhou prefect and sentenced him directly. Before the execution, he did not even report to the Ministry of punishment. Executed directly!When it is reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all are the final results...

The old minister doesn't know when the imperial envoy, Prince Zhongshun, will be able to directly bypass our Ministry of Punishment and make a final sentence!

So far, the veteran has not received the latest appointment from the Ministry of Officials or the imperial decree from the emperor to arrange for the prince to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment!Before talking about Duke Qi's case, can the prince explain what happened to the Xuzhou mansion before! "Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment also jumped out at this moment.

"Although what the two adults said is reasonable! However, it is a bit too far-fetched and forceful!" A young official who was standing at the end of the line and had almost reached the entrance of the main hall suddenly came out and said loudly.

"Huh?" Everyone present quickly looked back, and dozens of people's eyes were all focused on his face.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for a long time, this young official still became a little stiff and uncomfortable under the eyes of many big bosses.

You must know that it is impossible for him to appear in this grand meeting due to his position as a small official of the Imperial Academy of the sixth grade. However, the emperor gave him the position of imperial servant before, and today he deliberately called him I came to participate in the Great Court Meeting, so I had the opportunity to appear here.

As for standing up boldly at this moment, the purpose is to leave a good impression in front of his future master, Situ Meng, and, even for his own benefit, he must better protect Prince Zhongshun. The people who stay together with each other, and can live up to what they have learned, and make a contribution to the people of the world. He has already made up his mind to accept the olive branch offered by Situ Meng, so he will stand up at this moment and serve Situ Meng waved the flag and shouted!

Even if he was going against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, he didn't have the slightest fear, because he knew very well in his heart that no matter whether it was the emperor or the loyal prince, he had long since treated the appearance of relying on the old and selling the old in the court, and trying to use the name of the Supreme Emperor to dictate to the new emperor. Already dissatisfied, wanting to clear them out of the court one by one is nothing more than a perfect excuse.

If these people don't jump out today and insist on singing against them, it's fine, but if they don't know the current affairs and force themselves to stand out, the consequences will definitely be very tragic.

And what I have to do now is to stand firmly on the side of the emperor and Prince Zhongshun, and help them deal with these old guys who are best at playing word games and language arts.
