Zhengde decides the case

Emperor Zhengde was in a blind order, some were busy kowtowing and ceremonies, and some wanted to please the emperor, but they couldn't tell who the emperor wanted to pull down and bring him up. When he was in a mess, Yan Song saw that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he suddenly stood up and yelled: "Everyone is quiet!"

This roar was more useful than Zhengde's "slap" and the crowd of wolves and rabbits were immediately fixed there. Only Lu Enlu, who was crazy, still hugging a prosecutor of the Ministry of Justice, laughing and shouting for promotion and wealth.

Yang Ling had not had time to take a closer look at these imperial envoys. At this moment, he saw Yan Song's thin and tall figure, and suddenly remembered him and then recalled the strange things that the imperial tomb was safe and sound. Yang Ling couldn't help but be shocked and suspicious.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at Yan Song and praised: "You are very good. Come and see the four beloved ministers of Yangling. The four beloved ministers, now the truth is revealed. The four beloved officials will be restored to their posts and will return to the mansion to recuperate. Then they will still be responsible for supervising the construction of the imperial tomb. As for those who falsely frame Gao..."

Zhengde pointed at Lu Shichang, who was still laughing and talking nonsense, and said coldly: "Take this madman down and bring all the witnesses and criminals to the court. I will personally decide the case today!"

The emperor temporarily played the presiding judge, and there were no one below who did not work hard to welcome him. At this moment, a few yamen runners carried the madman out in a row and threw it into the waiting room for the first trial. Someone brought the trembling seven famous young masters in the capital, Han Youniang and others to the court.

The three yamen runners tried their best to shout the power of the court. Zhengde sat upright in the hall, with two loess in front of him, and began to ask questions in person. When Li Jie, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, saw Zhengde looking at him, his body immediately became half short, and he said in a crying voice: "Your Majesty, I am confused for a while. This madman usually speaks neatly. The weak minister does not pay attention to it for a while. Because the imperial tomb is in great importance, it is related to the prosperity of the country..."

He knew that it was purely seeking death when he defended himself, and it would be better to confess his guilt and carry it out of the imperial tomb to prove his importance to the tomb of the late emperor. When the emperor was weak, the crime would be much less.

He didn't know that Mo Shenbang had made up a few lies in the back hall just now. When he mentioned the imperial tomb, Zhengde suddenly remembered the words "Thunder strikes the palace, and should be in the Tai Tomb. Work is stopped for no reason and a celestial phenomenon will suddenly appear." He suddenly felt anger in his heart. He swung his sleeves, and changed the auspicious wood to use it as a hidden weapon, and he turned it toward Li Jie.

The awe-in-law hit Li Jie's forehead with a "bang", and suddenly it was a piece of black green, causing Li Jie to sigh. Zhengde shouted: "Imperial Tomb, the imperial tomb you killed, the imperial tomb was stopped. Tianlei warned me and bombed my palace. How dare you mention the imperial tomb? Take off his official clothes and take off his official clothes!"

Immediately, the two officers quickly pulled Li Jie, peeled off his official clothes and hat, and kicked him on the ground with a bent kneel. Yang Ling was slightly uneasy when he saw it. After all, the imperial tomb Jinjing did tamper with it, and Li Jie did not wrong him. He was worried that Li Jie would be forced to take the risk. He insisted that the water seepage of Jinjing was true, and maybe he would cause trouble for himself.

Li Duo, the Minister of Rites, saw that he was reluctant to bear it and whispered softly: "Mr. Yang should not be kind and soft-faced. Do you think he would be grateful for it? If you don't die from a snake, there will be endless troubles!"

If you usually say this sentence, Yang Ling would definitely not go to his heart, but he was the one who had just passed away from the gate of hell, and he felt deeply painful about it. He had already understood the danger of being a sword in the court and talking and laughing. He nodded slightly when he heard this. He remembered that he was almost separated from the young lady and the young lady, and his eyes couldn't help but look at the young lady.

Han Youniang was still so pretty, but her watery eyes were a little red and swollen, but those gentle eyes were still staring at him affectionately. Yang Ling couldn't help but smile at his wife with comfort.

Han Youniang also smiled back, and the smile was full of satisfaction and joy. Yang Ling saw Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei beside Han Youniang. He remembered that these two women valued love and friendship, and had suffered great trouble. He helped Youniang unyieldingly, and he couldn't help but nodded to them with gratitude.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ling's gesture made the two girls' cheeks a little hot. She looked away shyly. Yang Ling couldn't help but feel a little confused. He didn't know that Han Youniang was grateful that day, and had become sworn with the three girls, and once vowed to "join the same boat and share good fortune and good fortune."

What kind of ship is the same? Of course it is his Master Yang. Two smart girls heard it. If they had known the young lady's intentions, they were just determined to fail at that time. They were determined to die with him as Yang Ling's concubine. They had little hope for saving him. At this time, Yang Ling was resurrected from the death, and his thoughts became alive, so he felt less comfortable.

Zhengde stared at Li Jie, unable to think of how to make a decision for a moment, so he couldn't help but turn to Hong Zhong and asked: "Hong Zhong, Li Jie falsely accused the minister, trapped the imperial envoy, and fabricated the water seepage of the imperial tomb. What crime should he be punished?"

Just now, Zhengde shouted at Hong Zhong. Old Shangshu, who had always been changing his power, left the hall obediently and ran behind the charlatan Mo Daowei to hide. At this time, when he heard the emperor ask him, Hong Zhong was immediately flattered and thought that the emperor would not pursue his crime.

Hong Zhong hurriedly took two steps and said, "I am the Emperor Qi, the Daming Rule, once the false accuser is verified, he will sit down."

Emperor Zhengde said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, what should I do?"

Hong Zhong hurriedly said: "The emperor clearly understands that he falsely accused the officials, which means that the officials he falsely accused will be punished as much as they are punished."

Zhengde heard this and said, "The official he falsely accused was sentenced to kill without mercy. If someone comes, he will drag him down and kill without mercy!"

Li Jie was anxious, and he even said that Hong Zhong could pull him, but he didn't expect that he would take the blame. Li Jie pointed at Hong Zhong and said angrily: "Shangshu Hong, I falsely accused the ministers? If you hadn't asked the emperor to punish him, how could you have been accused of a crime?"

Hong Zhong retorted: "If you were not sincerely harming others, you can report to the emperor if you heard the news and ask the emperor to verify it. Why bother to find a lunatic who pretended to be a witness? I was deceived by you."

Li Jie said angrily: "I have no grudges and no grudges with several adults, why should I harm him? I heard that the imperial tomb seeped water and reported this to Shangshu Xu. Shangshu asked me not to make any noise for the time being and collect witnesses. I didn't say anything for the time being. Lord Shangshu, is that right?"

When Xu Guan heard that he was going to pull him into the water, he shook his head like a rattle and said, "Nonsense, I only talk about how big the water seepage of the imperial tomb is, how can I catch the wind and shadow? I asked you to find out before avenge. Who told you to collect any witnesses? You have no grudges with several adults. Could it be that I have grudges?"

Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others wanted to plead for them, but when they saw that they were only shirking responsibility in times of crisis, they couldn't help but look contempt. Wang Qiong looked at the ugly behavior of the three of them and couldn't help but be angry and shouted sternly: "Enough!"

He stopped the three of them from arguing, turned around and knelt straight on the ground, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I am not aware of it. I have reported it wrong and have been a crime of wrongfulness, but please ask the Holy ruling!"

Wang Qiong took off his clothes and put them aside and couldn't kowtow. His move was much better than Hong Zhong and the other two. He first described the crime as a mistake in supervision, and then tied all three ministers and ministers to a boat. I wish you that the new emperor ascended the throne and his foundation was not stable. How dare you deal with so many important officials at will?

Zhengde was really a little embarrassed when he saw four people kneeling down, three of them were Shangshu. He asked for help and looked at several Grand Secretarys. Liu Jian took the opportunity to report: "Emperor, I think that Old Shangshu Hong was punishing severe punishments and almost killed four imperial envoys. Moreover, the news of the imperial tomb being moved out, which caused unstable people's hearts. It is indeed a crime. However, Shangshu Hong was only deceived and improperly handled the case. He had no selfish desires. I thought he could take him... and return home!"

Hong Zhong trembled when he heard this. He worked hard to survive as a first-rank official. Now, with just one sentence, everything has become empty. Decades of hard work are like a dream. Li Jie was so brave that he heard it. Liu Jian was about to lose his troops to protect his army. He was the leader of the cabinet. Even he had this intention. Can he still survive?

Zhengde nodded after hearing this and said, "According to the Grand Secretary's report, the Ministry of Justice resigned and returned home after a long bell."

Liu Jian also said: "Xu Guan, the Minister of Works, heard that there was a delay in the imperial tomb project. He was too cautious at first and did not report the information. Later, he reported the ministers without verifying them. He was arrogant and negligent, and he was incompetent in his duties. I thought he should give it..."

Liu Jiangang wanted to say that he had reduced the rank and fined his salary, but Zhengde had already said smartly: "Okay, let's retire together."

Liu Jian was choking there and couldn't speak for a long time. Zhengdeqi said, "Liu Aiqing's suggestion makes sense, let's continue talking."

Liu Jian took a long breath and said quickly: "Wang Qiong, Minister of Rites, transformed the world with poetry and etiquette, and was highly respected, and his peaches and plums became a stream. He had nothing to do with this case, but because he misunderstood people, he urged the emperor to punish corrupt officials in order to clear the administration of officials. He had a wish. However, Wang Qiong was not a censor, but he had to punish the acts of the news that he had reported. He should also be punished and could be fined for three years as punishment."

He was afraid that Zhengde would interrupt halfway, so he said this as if it were fried beans and was anxious and quick. Zhengde was unhappy and said, "Wang Qiong's overthrow of his duties almost made a big mistake. How could he be so reckless? How could he take charge of imperial examinations, sacrifices, etiquette, and diplomatic affairs? The salary penalty was too light, so......... to be moved to the Minister of Rites in Nanjing."

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang were about to come forward to argue for Wang Qiong, but Wang Qiong thought he was devoted to the country, but the emperor was confused and felt sad. He kowtowed in anger: "The emperor is polite to the old minister, and the old minister is very grateful!"

When Zhengde heard his tone of resentment, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Are you not convinced? You are in charge of the Ministry of Rites and educate the world, but you didn't even teach your own son well. He forced other maids to frame the head of the family. Is this also what the dignified Minister of Rites did?"

He sneered and turned to Wei Shen, the Minister of Justice, and said, "Wang Master Wei, for the people to sue the officials and spread rumors and slander, what punishment should he impose?"

Wei Shen was a selfless man with only the king's laws and no favors in his eyes. He immediately bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, sue the officials for the people, spread rumors and slander. Once verified, he should be removed from his fame and honor and exiled. However, I think that although the suspected case of the Emperor's Tomb is untrue, the report of Yang Ling's forced purchase of a maid is not enough to be accepted by the woman's words, and should be verified before he can be convicted."

Zhengde raised his head and sneered, "No need to investigate. I know this clearly. This matter was caused by the family of Shouning Hou's family bullying and plotting to seize three women from the Flower House. At that time, I was still the prince of the Eastern Palace. After hearing about this, I was rescued by Yang Ling. His money was not from greed, but I gave it to him. Do you still want to check if what I said is the truth?"

Wei Shen knelt down hurriedly and said, "I dare not. Since the emperor testified for Yang Ling, the false accusation is true."

When Wang Qiong heard that the emperor was going to strip his son of fame and fame and serve as a military force, his face turned pale and he no longer dared to resist. He just kowtowed and begged for mercy for his son. The young men of the wealthy family also lost their former arrogance and knelt on the ground and just shivered.

Li Dongyang was really anxious when he heard this. Although these seven young masters were not considered figures, each of them had a father of an important official in the court. Now that the six ministries dismissed half of the officials at once, the people in the court were already unstable. If there were a few more ministers who were dissatisfied with grudges, how would they take charge of the government?

In the imperial tomb case, Li Jiebao and three ministers were abandoned. Now it seems that the only thing that Yang Ling can do is abandon Wang Jinglong and save the other six people. Li Dongyang made a quick decision and immediately said: "The emperor, the maid of the Yang family is bribed. Wang Jinglong is the only one who traps Yang. The other scholars are not worried about it, but they are just greedy for vain and join in the fun. It is not appropriate to take more attention."

Xie Qian, Liu Jian, Wang Hua and others knew that the punishment was too severe, which was not conducive to the court, so they knelt down and pleaded. Zhengde said angrily: "Well, I can ignore the six people who follow the entourage, but Wang Jinglong is accusing the chief criminal of the court minister. If he is pardoned, what is the court's decency? He will strip this person of fame and fortune and be entrusted to Guizhou. He will not be hired for his whole life!"

Wang Qiong was despaired when he heard this. Wang Jinglong knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul. His life was over. After a long time, he slowly calmed down. He heard that the emperor had sentenced Li Jie to death and asked someone to take him down.

Wang Jinglong smiled sadly, "Diet crime? It would be better to sentence yourself to death, so that you will suffer like this. If you were not deceived by that little bitch, how could you fall to the point of life worse than death? Wang Jinglong suddenly had a vicious thought in his heart: "Little bitch, aren't you flattering Yang Ling to plot against me? Even if I was exiled to Guizhou, I would still bribe the desperate and humiliate you to death, so that you would regret it..."

Seeing that the emperor had also sentenced the case, Wang Qiong refused to give up. He knelt there and pleaded for his son. He hurriedly slipped out of the chair and said, "Emperor, Guizhou is barren and desolate. There are many mountains and mountains here, and it is everywhere. It is a life-and-desperate place to be sent to the place. In my opinion, since you are pleading with mercy, the emperor might as well give him a gift to Tailing for hard labor, paving the way for the former emperor to build the tomb, and redeem his sins. It not only punishes him, but also reflects the emperor's kindness."

Wang Jinglong was thinking about vicious thoughts. When he heard that he wanted him to go to Tailing to do hard labor, although it was a bit hard, after all, near the capital, although his father exiled to serve as an official in Jinling, his old friends in the court were still mixed. When he found someone to move, would he be afraid that he would not be able to get out?

But as he looked up, he saw Dai Yi smile at him with a gloomy smile. Only when he saw this malicious smile, Wang Jinglong suddenly poured from his head to his feet like a basin of ice water, and his whole heart became cold.

Zhengde said happily: "It's great, just do it!" Wang Qiong knew very well that if his son went to Tailing, it would be even more dangerous than going to Guizhou, so he was almost crazy. Liu Jian and others worked with him for many years, but when they saw it, they couldn't bear it, so they had to come forward to help him up and whispered to take care of Wang Jinglong. Then the old master left the hall with tears.

Zhengde sent everyone away, leaving only Yang Ling's family behind, then walked to Yang Ling awkwardly and said, "Yang Shi Lu, I... I almost let you down."

Yang Ling was also quite ashamed. He did not believe that Feng Shui is more important than the lives of thousands of people, so he helped Dai Yi and others hide the water seepage of the imperial tomb. However, after all, it was something that had been hidden from the little emperor. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't say that. Whether the emperor deals with it like this as the king of a country or as the son of the late emperor, it is the duty of his duty, and the minister will never complain."

Zhengde smiled ashamed and said, "My dear, please be content with your injuries. When the injuries are cured, I will use you more. You should go back first. Those three old men are still waiting for me outside. I will go back and secretly go to your house to see you."

Yang Ling hurriedly said, "Thank you for your concern. Your Majesty should not leave the palace easily. I will find out for the three great scholars and submit memorials to advise you. I will go back now."

He had removed his handcuffs and shackles, but his ankles were bloody and bloody. He was so painful to walk out of the long lobby. Han Youniang and Yu Tangchun held him left and right, Xuelimei and Gao Wenxin followed him, saluted Emperor Zhengde, and turned around and left. Zhengde saw Han Youniang having a pretty face. Although his etiquette was not lost, his expression was not as friendly as before. He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Let's wait!"

Yang Ling turned around in surprise and saw Zhengde coming over again and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Young Niang's sister had held the emperor's magic treasures to stop me, I would have almost lost a loyal minister. Young Niang's sister has made contributions to the country, and I would like to reward me."

He pondered for a moment and said, "I want to issue an imperial edict to grant Youniang the wife of the imperial edict. Youniang's sister, don't be angry with me again, right?"

Seeing that the emperor was sorry for himself, Han Youniang didn't dare to make a fuss, so she quickly bowed and said, "How dare I be angry with the emperor? Thank you for the reward."

Identity is a heart-wrenching problem for Han Youniang. When her husband was a scholar, she always felt that her daughter, a hunter, was not worthy of her. Now that she has the imperial title, she is not happy.

When Zhengde saw a hint of joy in Han Youniang's eyebrows, he felt relieved and said happily: "I not only want to reward Youniang's sister, but also want to reward Yang Shizuo. Isn't Wang Jinglong saying that it is unreasonable for you to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy a maid? Haha, that silver is paid by me, just treat it as I bought it and gave it to you as a concubine. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already set a choice for me for the queen and two imperial concubines. Well...it's set on my wedding day. On that day, I will issue an order to give them to you as concubines and get married."

"Ah?" Yang Ling was shocked when she heard this, and Han Youniang was also a little surprised. Yu Tangchun and Xue Limei were both surprised and happy. When they touched their eyes, they both moved away, and they couldn't help but feel dizzy, but Yingying's eyes were full of indescribable shame and happiness.

Gao Wenxin's eyes were slightly lowered, her expression was calm, and she could not see any abnormality. Although Han Youniang had promised to serve her husband, she knew that she could not get rid of her status and had never had such delusions at all. Naturally, she was not as worried as Yu Tangchun and the other two.

The little emperor patted Yang Ling on the shoulder and said solemnly: "The day you get married is the day you get married. I swear to be happy and congratulate you all my life. From now on, I will be both a monarch and a minister and a friend!"

He said happily, "The fireworks palace lanterns I set up in the mountains last time are very beautiful. I have always wanted to see them again. No one has an excuse to stop me from lighting the lights and setting the fires when I got married. Hahaha, I have been waiting for this wedding for a long time. Well, on my wedding night, come to the palace and help me set off a good fireworks." He waved his hand and smiled, "I want to see the fireworks for one night, and it will not be extinguished all night..."
