Zhu Cihong's decree concerning the assassination of the Jinluan Temple was executed before Zhou Zheng returned to Beijing. Throughout the entire text, there are only four words that are focused on "Don't waste it, don't let it go."
I don't know if the four words "Don't vain, don't zong" mean Zhu Cihong or Zhou Yanru, they are very particular about it.
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Yanru took the place of hundreds of officials and left everyone behind for a meeting in the cabinet.
Zhu Cihong's will is set, but there must be a charter on how to end this case. It is impossible to expand indefinitely. It is endless, and it is impossible to catch a small shrimp three or two fools.
In this case, the emperor, hundreds of officials, and the people of the world must not be able to criticize it, otherwise it will remain entangled and become a curse on the head of the imperial court.
There were six ministers of Shangshu, plus Dali Temple Qing, Zuodu Yushi of the Imperial Court, and more than 20 people sitting around the table.
Zhou Yanru looked around everyone, seeing that there were still many people in his heart, he felt a lot of confidence, and said lightly: "Your Majesty's will has been made, let's talk about it, how to deal with this matter."
Ma Shiying immediately answered and said: "'The assassination of the Jinluan Temple', this is an unforgivable sin, not to mention that I am bright, it is rare in all dynasties and dynasties, of course it must be severely punished, and no one can be spared!"
Ma Shiying's answer is to set the tone so that no one wants to take it lightly.
Ma Shiying's words fell, and everyone glanced at him without speaking.
Ma Shiying's words are right. How can it be lightly revealed that something like this is truly earth-shattering
However, this incident is obviously tricky, and it involves dozens of vassal lords, noble ministers, and countless officials. It is really necessary to severely punish the ruling class, and the Ming ruling class has to'empty' a large portion!
Zhang Sizhi met Zhou Yanru's gaze, coughed, and said: "Although you can't be merciless, you can't be too much. The emperor's will clearly says,'Don't be in vain, don't let it go'."
Zhang Sizhi's words are really not emboldened. He, the person who wrote the list for Li Zicheng, really wants to'don't waste it, don't let it go', he absolutely can't escape.
Tian Zhenshu sat quietly as the assistant of the Ministry of Industry, his eyes swept across everyone's faces, and he watched the'two weeks' fight.
Dali Temple Qing Kou Huaiyi pretended to indulge, and said: "'Don't waste it, don't let it go', then Dali Temple can start the trial tomorrow, first Lu, Dai Wang, Xiang Wang, and then try others."
Zhou Yanru's people frowned, it was impossible to allow Zhou Zheng to send half of the feudal lords to the guillotine.
Li Rixuan, the official official book, said: "Don't be wrong. The emperor meant to control the influence and really want to interrogate the prince. My Da Ming's decent, face is not necessary?"
"Li Shangshu thinks, how should the next official try and sentence?" Kou Huaiyi said.
Li Rixuan was silent for a while, and said: "Directly cut the three kings and erase these three from the disc. As for the others, they will be severely punished, but they will not be tried."
Ma Shiying said: "Then if someone reverses the case in the future and uses these arguments, what shall we do?"
Li Juesi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Then you will be severely punished so that everyone has nothing to say, and then a few princes will be downgraded!"
Zhang Heyi guessed that the foreplay was almost complete, and then said: "I haven't seen enough. For such a big case, just a few heads are not enough. I can kill a dozen or so, and then take back all the princes and put them in jail. , Keep their lives."
Everyone looked at Zhang Heyi together, thinking that this was really ruthless. In this way, the clan that had been passed down for more than two hundred years was almost completely wiped out!
Zhang Sizhi and others have seen Zhou Yanru before, knowing his attitude, glanced at Zhang Heyi, and said, "This movement is too much, no."
Ma Shiying suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "We said it is too heavy, and yours is too light. Just stop here today and talk about it tomorrow."
"There must be a result today!" Li Rixuan said in a deep voice.
If it continues to drag on, Zhou Zhengyi's department still doesn't know how much it can do.
"Then you can say something that we can accept." Kou Huaiyi's direct honorifics were gone.
Everyone looked at Zhou Yanru, the two sides were arguing, and someone had to suppress the scene.
Zhou Yanru didn’t know Zhou Zheng’s attitude. He glanced at Zhou Zheng’s first line and didn’t know who could represent Zhou Zheng. He said blankly: "First, the princes cannot be killed. Second, they cannot sit in a row, the nine races. Third. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and it must not be delayed forever or delay the political affairs. Fourth, it must be low-key and not have a big fanfare."
Zhang Heyi almost retorted before Zhou Yanru's voice, saying: "Yuanfu, this case is so involved that it cannot be settled in a short time. At present, it is only inside Beijing, and outside Beijing has not moved. It is already hasty to close the case before the end of the year. ."
Chen Yan suddenly took the words and said, "Then you will close the case first, and you will take your time. The most important thing is the clan, honors, and court officials. As long as these cases are closed first, the others don't matter."
Everyone didn't know that Chen Yan wanted to remove himself and get out of this maelstrom as soon as possible, listening to them all.
If this case cannot be settled all at once, it is okay to resolve the concerns or worries of most people. As for the rest, just take care of it slowly, no one cares.
Zhou Yanru's frowned brows loosened, and he looked at Zhang Heyi and said, "Has Zheng Xibo returned to Beijing?"
Zhang Heyi said: "The city gate hasn't reported it, it shouldn't have been."
"What is his attitude?" Zhou Yan Confucianism.
Zhang Heyi was serious and said: "Zheng Xibo concentrates on suppressing bandits, and does not participate or express his position."
No one believed this sentence, but it also revealed that these people had already been instructed and knew what to do.
Zhou Yanru looked around and said, "Let's talk about it, what do you want to do with it?"
Sansi, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang were all in Zhou Zheng's hands. Zhou said exactly what it was. No matter how the court officials opposed it, they couldn't control it after all.
Li Hengbing glanced at the other people and said, "Since Chen Shangshu wants to solve the above problem first, then all involved vassal kings should be cut off, not killed, and the honors and honors should be handled in the same way. Other people should be killed and sent out. Sent, you should go to jail."
It was even more unacceptable for Zhou Yanru and others to cut his membership to dozens of feudal lords in one go.
Li Rixuan said, "Can we not be so cruel all at once, cut a few first, and deal with the others slowly?"
Ma Shiying said unceremoniously: "Or, Li Shangshu tells me a way. Let's do the same and let the world see it?"
Li Rixuan's expression moved. In the end, it was the'Golden Luang Temple Assassination'. If it was really light, it couldn't be justified, the emperor might not agree.
Zhou Yanru did not want to argue with these people here, which would undermine the authority of his first assistant, and said indifferently: "The king cuts his membership from King Lu and the others. Make excuses and slowly cut it away. The noble family members will do the same, hand over all their salaries, and retain the title for the time being, and we will talk about it later. As for the officials and gentry involved, they will handle it strictly and not be merciless."
Zhang Heyi and the others looked at each other. The chief assistant was cruel and made huge concessions. (End of this chapter)
