Chapter 390: Completely Chilling! Literati Celebrate with Bullets and Crowns!

With the consent of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, immediately took Gu Zuo and Zhang Xu back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

In order to prevent any changes, he wanted to announce the result as soon as possible and directly released most of the students.

The lobby of the Criminal Department is solemn and majestic.

Apart from Jin Yiwei, the Penal Department Prison is the place that prisoners fear the most.

The Three Legal Divisions composed of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were the supreme legal authority of the Ming Dynasty, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, as the judicial body, could decide the life or death of most criminals.

Furthermore, Jinyiwei Prison is a place where important criminals are detained. Most of them are arrested by His Majesty the Emperor himself, and they are basically court officials.

Some criminals want to go to prison, but they are not qualified.

At this moment, in the lobby of the Criminal Department, there were "criminals" kneeling on the ground.

It's just that these "criminals" are a little special. Most of them are what the common people call "Masters of Juren". The worst ones are "Masters of Scholars" who have stepped into the gentry class. They are all scholars who have read poetry and books. .

Originally, according to the laws of the imperial court, these literati enjoyed various privileges such as "not avoiding official appointments" and "account for crime". They should not have been kneeling on the floor of the lobby in such a dishonorable manner.

But last night, these literati who shouted "rebel literati" and "sacrifice themselves for righteousness" had been sent to Jinyiwei Prison and tortured all night long.

Jin Yiwei subjected them to eighteen kinds of torture, and the physical pain and mental torture had shattered their pride and self-esteem as literati.

At this moment, students including Zhou Wenfang and others just hope that this major case can end soon and they can go home early to soothe their injured bodies and minds and seek some comfort.

As for the "character of a scholar", they have long forgotten it, and now their intestines are almost green with regret!

This is the case for literati and Confucian scholars. When they bully their subordinates, they want to knock their bones and suck out their marrow to kill them. When they are afraid of their superiors, they want to wag their tails and beg for mercy!

But most of the time, they were able to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment by virtue of the various privileges granted by the court, and they had never had the humiliating experience of being tortured.

Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, looked at the group of literati and Confucian scholars in the hall. He was angry but also a little sad.

Yes, it hurts.

As early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Gao established the cultural and educational policy of "governing the country with education as the first priority and education as the basis of schools" and made "nurturing scholars and acquiring scholars" a national policy.

Although the Ming Dynasty inherited the education policy of the Meng Yuan Dynasty, the late emperor pioneered and created an extremely complete official education system.

Including the Imperial Academy in the imperial capital of Jinling, as well as government schools, state schools, county schools, religious studies, social studies, martial arts, medicine, yin and yang studies, Siyi Guan and other official schools all over the world, forming a set of official schools from the central to local governments. An extremely complete education system.

From the county school to the state school, and then to the Imperial Academy, the highest school, the imperial court treated all scholars equally regardless of their high or low birthplace. After passing the imperial examination, they were given preferential treatment and honors, so that they could study and cultivate virtue without worrying about their livelihood. , creating a smooth road for them to enter the official career!

But what about the scholars who were eventually trained?

They are all hot-blooded, unfaithful and unfilial fools!

Just because of an unconfirmed rumor and the deliberate instigation of the traitor Fang Bin, these literati and Confucian scholars dared to gather illegally and cause chaos, beating important court officials to death in the street, without even considering the impact this would have on themselves and their children. !

It is not disloyal to waste the preferential treatment and favor from the court!

Going your own way will bring disaster to the family, this is unfilial!

What is the use of the court wanting such an unfaithful and unfilial person?

If he hadn't considered that the scholars in the world might be disappointed, why would Tang Zong go to all the trouble to plead for them, and then just show their heads to the public and end the matter!

But he is the minister of Dali Temple, one of the nine ministers of the court, the impartial defender of the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, and a disciple of the famous religion.

When he thought of the prince's approval, Tang Zong breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Chen Gongfu case has been fully investigated by the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the six prime ministers and nine ministers, and the facts have been found out."

Upon hearing this, all the students who were kneeling on the ground were trembling with nervousness and fear.

Jiu Qing completed the trial, which means that the result obtained now is the final judgment, and there will basically be no changes.

Fang Bin is not here, and it is a foregone conclusion that he will be killed after his fall. This is a fact that no one can change.

So Tang Zong directly read out the verdict against all the students.

When Zhou Wenfang and fourteen other people heard that he and others were sentenced to have their heads displayed in public and the family was exiled, they lay down on the ground and cried uncontrollably.

At this moment, they finally realized what it meant to regret.

Tang Zong watched this scene and sighed heavily, then waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to take them down, waiting for Qiu Hou to be executed together with Fang Bin.

He then announced the verdict of the students who threw gravel. When these students heard that they would be stripped of their honors and would not be allowed to take part in the scientific examinations in their lifetime, many of them collapsed on the ground and covered their faces in tears.

He will be deprived of his academic reputation and will not be able to take the scientific examination for the rest of his life!

This means that they are completely ruined. Not only have they become officials in vain, but they have also lost their original privileges. As a result, they are even worse than ordinary farmers!

After all, they had spent the first half of their lives studying and practicing calligraphy, and had never even planted land.

And if they are accused of being "disloyal and unfilial", they will most likely be expelled from the family and expelled from the clan. I am afraid that it will be difficult to support themselves in the future!

One mistake will lead to eternal regret, and now it's too late to regret it.

Most of the remaining students were those who had not yet taken action or who had not yet had time to take action. They looked at Tang Zong with hope and did not even dare to express their anger at this moment.

Those who hit someone would have their heads displayed to the public and their families would be exiled!

Those who throw gravel will be deprived of their honors and will be deprived of the right to take the imperial examination!

Then can those of them who did not take action be acquitted?

Tang Zong looked at the largest group of students, severely reprimanded them, and then announced the verdict.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is kind and virtuous. I think you were bewitched and instigated by others, and you never participated in the beating, so I changed the sentence to a lighter sentence. You will not be allowed to take part in the scientific examination for three years, to serve as a warning to others!"

Upon hearing this result, all the students cried with joy and loudly praised the benevolence of His Royal Highness.

Not allowed to take the scientific examination within three years?

The imperial court has already suspended the scientific examination. Let alone three years, there may not be one in five years!

So this punishment is not a punishment at all, it is just a symbolic excuse!

The benevolence of His Royal Highness is truly rare in the world!

Tang Zong looked at these literati students who were crying with joy and nodded happily.

He added this sentence temporarily, transforming his own contribution into the contribution of His Highness the Crown Prince, which would be more conducive to His Highness the Crown Prince's win over Shilin's heart. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can understand his painstaking efforts!

As soon as the verdict came out, some people were happy and some were sad.

Wang Jing, Hu Yuancheng and others were currently taking care of Mr. Fu Fu's funeral affairs. When they heard the verdict, they were immediately furious.

Let go?

Most of the criminals were released?

His Highness the Crown Prince just let people go like this?

"Oh, how ridiculous!" Hu Yuancheng laughed to himself, "He Zhu Gaochi is afraid that the world's scholars will be disappointed, isn't he afraid that I will be disappointed?"

"I'm determined not to be such a bullshit official anymore!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuancheng took off his crown uniform and handed it to Wang Jing.

"I will help the father-in-law's coffin to return home immediately. Please help me hand in my resignation letter and clothes for this beast!"

"Yuan Cheng, you must not do this! According to the new laws of the imperial court, those who resign without reason will be dismissed from their positions..."

Wang Jing, Zou Ji, Zeng Qi and the others suddenly became anxious and wanted to persuade their good friend.

However, Hu Yuancheng just put on linen mourning clothes without saying a word, and then directed his servants to carry Chen Gongfu's coffin out of the city.

"If His Highness the Crown Prince refuses to accept it, then kill me!"

Jinyiwei North Town Fusi Yamen.

Zhang Fu was quietly listening to the eyeliner's report.

"Sir, the verdict is out. Most of the troubled scholars were almost acquitted. Those three years of not being allowed to take the scientific examination were just a name. Now these scholars have been released from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and are praising the benevolence of His Highness the Crown Prince. Virtue, I am also planning to go to the Qinhuai River tonight to comfort my injured body and mind, which is quite a bit of a celebration..."

Hearing this, Zhang Fu couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Hahaha... Okay, it's really good!"

"Use Chen Gongfu's tragic death to promote your own benevolence!"

"My lord, my lord, you are truly 'unparalleled in benevolence and virtue'!"
