I looked at Zhu Runze and said that three lives were exchanged for a place in the cabinet. Is this really that important? I saw with my own eyes that Yan Xilou killed someone in front of me. Everyone in Beijing knew about this. Is it more important for you to arrange for one person to be in the cabinet than to uphold the fairness and justice of the Da Ming law
Seeing my bad tone, Mei Changshu helped to clear the siege and talked about three views. You have to look at it dialectically. From a tactical point of view, killing a Yan Xilou is certainly to maintain fairness and justice, and it is also a very pleasing thing. Believe me, everyone present thinks so. But strategically speaking, appropriate concessions and compromises in exchange for greater strategic resources are what a mature politician does.
I was very upset in my heart. Although I knew they were right to say so, I couldn't get past the hurdle in my heart. So I said, I don't understand politics, I'm just a quack, now and in the future. On the rivers and lakes, there are grievances and grievances and revenge. I'm sorry for this request, I'm afraid I can't do it.
Zhu Runze is very displeased, even if I beg you, can't this matter? I said that His Royal Highness the prince told me not to seek merits from the people, but to be ashamed of one's heart. If I don't appear in court to testify, I'm afraid I will be uneasy, and I won't be able to forgive myself in this life.
Zhu Runze was furious and smashed the tea cup on the table to pieces with a snap. Meng Yue and others held him again and said to calm down his anger.
Zhu Runze pointed at me and cursed. He thought you were a very slick and sophisticated person, but he was a dead brain.
Silently in my heart, I am not a stubborn person, whether it is sleek or sophisticated, but there is a basic bottom line for being a person, even if this bottom line is low, it is absolutely insurmountable. I can be indifferent to many people and things that have nothing to do with me, but this matter is different.
My face was calm, and I bowed to Zhu Runze, I'm afraid I would disappoint His Royal Highness. Zhu Runze gasped, pointed at the doorway, and rolled.
Meng Yue followed and said that the Three Views were wrong. I smiled bitterly, what should I do, let me do perjury? If this is the case, I am afraid I will never forgive myself in this life.
Meng Yue said that you are stupid. You won’t have to go to court then. Since Elder Yan can find His Royal Highness, he can naturally find other people involved in this case. With Elder Yan’s ability, you think you want Is it difficult to falsify a confession
I said Mr. Yan Ge called me. He asked me to give up testifying against Yan Xilou, and threatened me with my family's safety, but I refused.
Why
Although I seem to have no principles, I don't like being forced to do something against my heart. The more Yan Shangao uses my weakness to intimidate me, the less I will agree to him. If he really does those things, I will fight for my life and I will not spare him.
Meng Yue patted me on the shoulder and said that Princess Taiping was here and Yan Shangao would not mess around. By the way, in a few days, it will be the princess's birthday. Your Majesty held a banquet for her birthday in the princess mansion, and the princess asked me to believe you a little bit and ask you to attend.
I suddenly remembered that two years ago, in the Tianshi's Mansion, I celebrated Zhu Ming's birthday. I was so drunk that in the blink of an eye, two years passed, just like yesterday.
I said I got it, but I hesitated in my heart.
Meng Yue said again, if the princess says that you are not willing to come, let me tell you that this matter is related to the martial arts of your three secular masters.
I remember that before the Sansu went to Xiliang, he taught me half an inch of rivers and mountains, and gave Zhu Ming a martial arts formula, saying that when my martial arts arrived, I would let Taiping pass it on to me. If it hadn't been mentioned by Meng Yue, I would have forgotten about it.
I said I must go. Meng Yue took out the invitation from her arms and handed it over.
Back at the inn, I felt a little irritable. Today I rejected Zhu Runze's proposal, which made Zhu Runze very unhappy. I understand the truth about Mei's long loss, but I just can't get through this hurdle.
Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door, and I opened the door to see that it was the second shopkeeper of Guanfeng Barbecue, who was sweaty in the winter and said, "The owner, it's not good." The treasurer was taken away by people from Shuntian Mansion.
I asked what's going on
The second shopkeeper said that someone reported to the Shuntian Mansion that the hot pot bottoms in our store had big cigarette butts. Not this afternoon, someone came to seal up the shop and took the big shopkeeper away.
The big cigarette butt is poppy, which can relieve pain and can be seasoned in hot pot. However, this thing is easily addictive, so the court prohibits adding it to food.
I asked if it was released
The second shopkeeper hesitated, saying that I don't know too much, it seems to be a little bit. The shopkeeper said that his business goal would be doubled this month, so he added something to it.
My heart sank suddenly. This Wu De, with a golden sign, didn't do a good business, but learned those crooked ways, so he asked, what about people
It is closed in Shuntian Mansion.
When I came to Shuntian Mansion, I found Sun Biao, and asked how to find a way to rescue Wu De first. Although this kind of thing is forbidden by the court, it is not a serious crime.
Sun Biao was embarrassed. This matter was a bit strange. In the morning, the court issued an official document saying that the illegal use of additives in the catering industry should be strictly investigated. Once discovered, it will be dealt with strictly. In the afternoon, someone reported that Guanfeng BBQ was illegally using opium poppy. This matter, I am afraid that someone specifically targeted you.
Looking for Meng Yue, Meng Yue said that this matter was a bit serious.
How to say this.
Wu De added this thing to the hot pot, also called opium. You must know that this thing harms the country and the people. A few hundred years later, the entire Central Plains was destroyed in the hands of this thing.
I was stunned, how do you know.
Meng Yue said that if I can pinch it, I know it 500 years ago and 500 years later.
I said it's okay, don't fool around, tell me, this is the meaning of the prince, or the meaning of the old man Yan.
Meng Yue just put away the joke, and solemnly said that the Yan Xilou murder case was a head-on confrontation between the prince and the Yan faction. As you must know, your Royal Highness has had a hard time recently. As soon as this case comes out, His Highness will definitely deal with it. Make good use of things in exchange for the greatest benefit. You know
I said, so all weeds that hinder him from achieving his goals must be pulled out? Meng Yue said that you are the supervisor of the Dengwenyuan in Sanguan, not a weed.
I laughed at myself, I was nothing but an angry weed, and when I walked out the door, Meng Yue sighed behind him.
Zhu Runze changed. From the passionate young man who had a dream of great Ming and wanted to benefit the people, he slowly became a politician full of cities and calculations. He said he was mature or pragmatic, but it was not me. The Zhu Runze I want to see is now.
One jug of wine, two wine glasses.
When I came to Zhu Runze's mansion, Zhu Runze had already blanched the hot wine and waited for me in the pavilion. I didn't say polite, nor did I speak, sitting on the stone bench, drinking glass by glass.
Zhu Runze said that I am under a lot of pressure. You are not above the temple, and you may not have a deep understanding. Since this summer, my father has been very dissatisfied with me. I have also been struggling in the court. Everything is in vain.
I said coldly, for the sake of power, give up the ideals I insisted on at the beginning, for the sake of power, give up the truth and principles that I believe in
Zhu Runze smiled bitterly. Today, more than 300 people in the Prince's Mansion, as well as the ministers who secretly took refuge in, are all counting on me. If I don't fight for power and consolidate my position, these people will end up miserably. . Compared with them, what is the principle? What is the truth
Zhu Runze picked up the wine glass and drank it, and then said, so sometimes, I am quite envious of you and Liu Qingfeng, no officials, powerless, powerful, capable of fighting the world, walking the rivers and lakes, singing long wines, happy life !
Zhu Runze put down the wine glass, stood up, and said, Sanguan, you are a person full of justice. You are willing to offend Father Gao for your friend Li Laifu, and stand up for a strange old man to testify against the son of the current court elder. I'm not as good as you.
After hearing his words, I felt relieved.
After all, I am in a different position from him. What he faces every day is the intrigue and power game in the court. It is certainly not easy to maintain his heart amidst political storms. As for his deal with Mr. Yan Ge, it is nothing more than nothing. An uncommon thing.
Zhu Runze said, your cousin, I will send someone to send him back. As for whether you are willing to prove Yan Xilou, I will not intervene. As for whether Yan Xilou can escape the charges, it depends on his Yan Shangao's ability.
Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate's public trial of the Yanxilou homicide caused an uproar in the capital. All kinds of news were overwhelming. The original simple homicide case became confusing and confusing.
Someone said that Zhang's two daughters were prostitutes. After learning that Yan Xilou was the son of Ge Lao, he blackmailed Yan Xilou and was killed by Yan Xilou.
There is also a rumor that Old Man Zhang was a spy from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, who stole information from the imperial court and was killed on the street by Yan Xilou. In this way, Yan Xilou has also become a national hero.
On the twenty-third of the twelfth lunar month, a small year, heavy snow flies.
In the past, the major ministries, six departments and six departments of the imperial court have long been winter vacation, but this year there is no sign of rest. Everyone in the capital stared at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, waiting for the trial of Yan Xilou's murder case.
The Ministry of Criminal Justice had already sent me a subpoena as an eyewitness, and asked me to attend the trial on the day of the public trial and accept the summons to testify at any time.
The streets were covered with snow, and the entire capital was white.
I walked out of the inn and walked to the criminal department in the city. After thinking about the trial, all possible results came to Yongdingmen, and there was a sudden warning in my heart.
Whoosh.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows sneaked in from the dark.
Fortunately, Divine Sense discovered in advance that he stepped on Lingbo's microsteps and took a series of continuous steps. Ding Ding Ding, the crossbow arrow shot into the stone surface from beside me, into the stone an inch.
The attack was attempted, and with a scream, seven men in black jumped out of the dark, without saying a word, they drew their swords and attacked me.
The seven-man martial arts are the second and third ranks, but after they form a sword formation, their power is amplified by the sword formation, and a bunch of sword flowers are like plum blossoms, spreading out.
I was in the realm of Ching Ming in an instant, and the four lakes burst into qi, and the exquisite dagger in my hand came into my hand in an instant, releasing the sword domain, and a point of the sword was at the center of the head's eyebrows, breaking the sword formation.
The sword head was killed with one move, and the remaining few became lambs to be slaughtered.
Puff puff puff. The seven corpses were lying on the ground, blood overflowing along the snow-white ground, extremely coquettish.
The squally wind suddenly came, mixed with flakes of snowflakes, rushing towards his face, his cheeks hurt. A monk wearing a red monk robe appeared at the end of the wind and snow, and said four Buddha names.
There is no Amitabha Buddha.
There is no Amitabha in the north.
There is no Amitabha in the east.
Xiwu Amitabha.
I was taken aback and asked, Whereis Amitabha
