Yuan Shen, also known as "Jiu Qing Hui Shen".

The Ming Dynasty stipulated that when a major case, an important case, or a difficult case is still unresolved in the joint trial of the three departments of law, it will be tried together with the five ministers of civil affairs, household affairs, rituals, military affairs, and industry, as well as the general affairs envoy and the general affairs envoy.

The six ministers, the minister of Dali Temple, the minister of general affairs and the minister of general affairs, the censor of Zuodu of the Duchayuan, and the nine ministers of the court.

Originally, Chen Gongfu's case could be submitted to the three judicial divisions for joint trial according to normal procedures.

However, under the initiative of Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, and Jin Chun, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the case was finally handed over to Jiu Qing for trial, in order to demonstrate the fairness and strictness of the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations.

The results of the full trial came out quickly, in which Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, played the biggest role. After all, Dali Temple is the central judicial review agency and has absolute say in the full trial.

The three giants Jin Zhongjian and Yi looked at the final result with somewhat unsightly expressions.

Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, glanced at Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, and sighed quietly: "You have acted like this, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"His Royal Highness the King of Han is about to return to the court with a great victory. If he learns that you are so tolerant of the students involved in this case, I am afraid that you will be left with nothing to eat!"

"Haha, I see you are so healed that your scars have forgotten the pain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Yuanji stood up and left, not wanting to get involved in this mess again.

Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, looked at each other, and then hurriedly followed them.

Wang Jing, the Minister of Rites, snorted coldly, stood up and left.

Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was so sleepy that he almost fell asleep. When he saw someone leaving, he took the opportunity to run away.

General Affairs Minister Lu Mu had an expressionless face. He was more concerned about his own newspaper than this case.

His Royal Highness the King of Han is about to return to the capital. When he left, he made harsh words. If he hadn't completed the report, he would be hung up and beaten by this guy!

When he thought of such horrific scenes, Lumu ran away.

Gu Penzi, the censor of Zuodu, and Zhang Xu, the minister of punishment, looked at each other. They both wanted to leave, but they were judicial officers and were different from administrative officials like Jin Zhongjianyi, Xia Yuanji and others, so they couldn't leave.

After the final trial of the Nine Ministers, the three senior judicial officials will meet together and report the results of the trial to His Majesty the Emperor, who will make the decision himself.

But at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor is not in the Imperial Capital, so he can only report to His Highness the Crown Prince.

Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, looked unhappy because the sudden rebuke from Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, made him nervous.

After all, everyone knows the evil reputation of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han!

But when Tang Zong thought about it, he thought that His Majesty the Emperor would also return to Beijing, and he was acting truthfully in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so he had no worries.

The final result of the trial was that those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, and those who should be exiled should be exiled. The punishment is already very severe!

Even if the thief Prince Han comes back, he will definitely not be able to find any fault!

"You two, follow me to meet His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Tang Zong looked at Zhang Xu and Gu Zuo. The latter two could only nodded, and the three of them rushed to the East Palace together.

Soon the three of them saw His Highness the Crown Prince who was at his desk reviewing the memorials, and directly presented the results of Jiu Qing's trial.

The big fat man took it and took a look, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Three of you, would this punishment be... lighter?"

Yes, it's light, it can even be said to be a cover-up!

The main culprit, Fang Bin, the former minister of the Ministry of War, has been executed since the autumn of that year, and his home was ransacked and exiled.

There is no problem with this. After all, no one likes thieves like Fang Bin who stir up troubles and harm others to benefit themselves. What's more, this guy was relying on His Majesty's favor to do whatever he wanted, so he will be killed!

However, Tang Zong's punishment of those troublemaking students is somewhat intriguing.

Zhou Wenfang and other fourteen failed students who committed the murder were directly killed and their families were exiled in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!

There is no problem with this.

Zhou Wenfang and others beat the important officials of the court to death in the street. Let alone beating to death, if he dared to beat the important officials of the court, this was a word of death.

What's more, these idiots beat people to death!

Therefore, there is no doubt that they will die, and there is nothing wrong with this.

However, the problem lies behind, those students who have not taken action!

The punishments given by Tang Zong were divided into two types.

One kind is a student who has thrown away gravel and failed. He will be stripped of his merit and will not be allowed to participate in the scientific examination.

In other words, these nearly a hundred students are considered useless and will never want to be a scholar in this life.

The other type was standing behind the crowd and didn't throw stones before they had time to make a move.

The punishments for this batch are even lighter. They are just not allowed to take the scientific examination for three years, which is the same as no punishment!

In order to cooperate with the implementation of the new learning, the damn imperial court has suspended the imperial examination.

Let alone three years, it may not be held in five years!

But now it's better for you, take this as punishment?

Big Fatty turned his head and looked at Tang Zong with a somewhat displeased expression.

"This is the result of your nine ministers' full trial. Isn't it too lenient?"

Tang Zong looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, this is already extremely serious."

"Fang Bin, the leader of the rebellion, will be executed by the Queen of Autumn and the entire clan will be exiled!"

"The perpetrators, Zhou Wenfang and others, will be immediately killed and the whole family will be exiled!"

"Those who participated in the attack will be expelled from their honors, and those who have never done it will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for three years!"

"His Royal Highness, once the chief culprit is punished, we will be able to silence everyone in Youyou. As for the remaining three hundred or so scholars, please give me mercy if you can!"

After a pause, Tang Zong sighed and said: "Your Highness, scholars are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. If the court harshly punishes these scholars, it may cause great chaos!"

"It's not easy for these young scholars to study hard for more than ten years. It is already an extremely serious punishment for them to be stripped of their honors and not allowed to take the scientific examination."

"If we really show them all with their heads in public, I'm afraid all the scholars in the world will be chilled!"

Hearing this, Big Fatty was startled, and then he also sighed.

Scholars, this is really a headache!

After Emperor Taizu Gao founded the country, a large number of literati were unwilling to join the Ming Dynasty as officials, and these literati were mainly from Longxing, where the old Zhu family lived, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where the imperial capital was located.

One kind would rather be killed by Emperor Gao than become an official. Most of them are the old and the young of the Yuan Dynasty who "do not forget their homeland". They sing about "loyal ministers do not serve the two masters", and they have almost forgotten who their ancestors were. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

The second type is a reclusive person who really has no intention of becoming an official because of the raging war, so he simply lives in seclusion in the mountains, forests and countryside, studying, writing books, and giving lectures.

And Emperor Taizu Gao's treatment of these literati was also very simple and crude, even bloody.

If a scholar-official is not used by the king, his body will be killed and his family will be lost!

If you don't want to be used by the king, then kill your whole family!

Because of this, the harsh political environment of the Hongwu Dynasty caused a large number of literati and Confucian scholars to resist becoming officials.

These literati finally survived the Jianwen Dynasty, and then they were able to wait for the perfect monarch in their minds, so they flocked to the Ming Dynasty.

Now in the Yongle Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor is the same horse-horse emperor and iron-blooded emperor as Taizu Emperor Gao!

And the prince himself, like Zhu Yunwen, seems to have become the perfect benevolent king in the hearts of scholars all over the world!

If he really wielded this butcher's knife and showed Zhou Wenfang and 342 other people their heads to the public, then it is really possible that, as Tang Zong said, the world's scholars would feel chilled by the Yongle court and refuse to serve as officials again!

No matter what, the imperial court cannot do without these scholars!

The emperor is a noble person and needs literati and Confucian scholars to serve as herders and handle government affairs for him. This is destined to give preferential treatment to literati and Confucian scholars!

Zhu Gaochi sighed when he thought of this.

"That's all, let's announce it to the world according to the results of your round trial!"

"The impact of this case is extremely bad. Please inform all prefectures and counties that if such ridiculous things happen again, we will show no mercy!"

Tang Zong nodded hurriedly when he heard this, and his heart finally returned to his stomach.

Gu Zuo's face was expressionless, and he was sneering in his heart.

This idiot!

Let me let you dance around for a few more days!

When His Highness the King of Han returns to Beijing, you will know why the flowers are so red!
