Chapter 367 Confrontation in the court!The rich and powerful family is showing off!
Under the order of Zhu Gaojie, Jin Yiwei has begun an in-depth investigation into the person behind the Confucian scholars' riot.
After hearing Zhu Gaojie's inquiry, Shen Qingyu did not dare to hesitate at all and quickly told all the information he had found out.
"Reporting back to Your Highness, although these generals gritted their teeth and kept silent, they still found out their respective backgrounds through various investigations and information collection."
"As well as those Confucian scholars, some of their backgrounds have also been found out."
"So I sent more people to keep a close eye on these people's houses, and finally found some clues."
Zhu Gaojie nodded. If Jin Yiwei can't even do these, then he really has to consider replacing people and rebuilding.
"Tell me, who are the famous people?"
Shen Qingyu whispered:
"According to the humble investigation, the court seems to be headed by Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments are also involved. However, those two adults have not been seen participating in the planning. On the contrary, officials from these two ministries have frequently visited Wang Shangshu in the past few days. House..."
Zhu Gaojie sneered, Ministry of official affairs?
"Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Personnel, with such a big official position, he doesn't serve the court well, but he insists on causing trouble and worrying about this embarrassing thing all day long!"
"There are also the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment, those two old things, they want to benefit, but they dare not show their faces because they are greedy for life and fear of death, thinking that sending their subordinates to plan, will they not be able to be held accountable in the future?"
"It's ridiculous!"
He looked at Shen Qingyu in the hall and asked slowly:
"Where is the Kong family? This Yan Shenggong in the north, what has he done recently?"
"The Kong family is known as the sect of Confucianism in the world, so they can't just hide at home and be a coward, right?"
After hearing Zhu Gaojie's words, Shen Qingyu did not dare to raise her head and replied in a low voice:
"Dong Yansheng didn't go out, he just stayed at his house. However, according to the reports from the spies placed in his house, the lights in Kong's house have been constantly lit in the past few days, and it seems that many people have been gathering late at night."
"Haha." Zhu Gaojie smiled noncommittally, knowing that the Kong family couldn't sit still.
After all, if he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, Ming Dynasty will have to clear away these crooked melons, cracked dates, weeds and saplings sooner or later, so as to maintain the strong momentum of Ming Dynasty's continuous rise and not be held back in the Age of Discovery.
Presumably, some smart people from these aristocratic families should have seen this point, so they tried every means to teach him a lesson, so that he could bind himself and make it difficult to do anything.
Little did he know that he wished all these people would jump out and seek death!
Even if he meets those old guys who like to hide behind and plot tricks, Zhu Gaoyi is not afraid at all.
Today, he has the legitimate title of prince, the support of 30 troops from the Northeast, and the assistant of Yang Rong, the chief minister of the cabinet, in the court. He also has the capable force of Jin Yiwei at hand. He is not afraid!
What's more, the Liberal Arts Academy, as the official Ming Dynasty academy created by him, is continuously cultivating reliable and capable students from poor families for him.
After these children from poor families went to various parts of the Ming Dynasty one after another and began to shine for the Ming Dynasty, what did these wealthy families mean?
Sooner or later, they will have to bow their heads to Zhu Gaojie and be dogs for the Ming Dynasty!
This is an honest conspiracy!Use your power to suppress others openly and openly!
It is estimated that those aristocratic families also saw this, so they desperately tried to destroy everything.
Instigating the Confucian scholars to attack the Academy of Literature and attack Xia Yuanji was probably to teach him, the prince, a lesson.
Haha, it's just a desperate struggle.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaojie smiled faintly, stood up, came to Shen Qingyu, and said slowly:
"Qingyu, you have done a good job, Gu is very satisfied, after this matter is over, you will be rewarded."
After Shen Qingyu was surprised and thanked him, Zhu Gaojie said in a deep voice:
"Next, keep an eye on these people's houses and report all their movements."
"Also, the generals at the guard station don't have to bother to interrogate them anymore."
He patted Shen Qingyu's shoulder without any smile on his face:
"In the beginning, Gu personally selected them from the three major camps. They were all given very generous food and salary treatment, in the hope that they could guard the Academy for Gu."
"The result? The Academy of Arts was attacked, and Shangshu Xia was injured."
"Since they have let down Gu's heart, there is no need to live in this world anymore." "Do you understand?"
Without any hesitation, Shen Qingyu said loudly:
"Humble job understands!"
"I will do it according to His Highness' wishes!"
"It must be done properly!"
Zhu Gaojie smiled, walked to the door with his hands behind his back, looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, and murmured to himself:
"The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building..."
……
A few days later, above the court.
Now Zhu Di has been in coma for many days. Although Zhu Gaojie rushed back and gave the old man acupuncture and medicine, it was of no avail. Seeing that the old man was in a coma, there was not much time left.
Therefore, the current court meeting has been dominated by Zhu Gaoxuan, who handles the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
In today's court, there was obviously a heavy atmosphere, causing many ministers to shrink their necks involuntarily.
"What is the Ministry of Punishment's view on the fact that someone attacked the Academy of Arts and caused Mr. Xia to be injured?"
"How are you going to deal with it?"
After handling several political affairs, Zhu Gaojiao suddenly asked the Minister of Punishment in a very indifferent tone.
The Minister of Punishment was stunned for a moment, and his heart thumped. What did the prince mean by asking like this?
Although he has not participated in the conspiracy in the past few days, judging from the reports from his subordinates, the various aristocratic families have agreed with Yan Shenggong and are preparing to attack the prince at today's court meeting.
But why was it Zhu Gaojie who asked him first?
The Minister of Punishment hesitated for a while, then quietly looked around, and after receiving a response, he stepped out and said:
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I also want to ask about this matter."
"Oh?"
Zhu Gaoxuan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with his hand, and looked at him with playful eyes:
"What do you want to ask Zhou Qing?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said with an upright face:
"His Royal Highness, you ordered many Confucian students to be imprisoned, and ordered Jin Yiwei to take over the inquiry, completely excluding officials from the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know what this means?"
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, scholars may not be detained without reason, nor may they be tortured at will."
"If there is any crime involved, it must be decided after a joint trial by the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
There seemed to be strong confusion and doubt in his tone:
"I wonder why His Highness the Crown Prince arbitrarily ordered the Jin Yiwei to intervene in this matter?"
"Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the work of the Ministry of Punishment? Or dissatisfied with the scholars in the world?"
"Or do you want to surrender?"
See you in the picture!
At this moment, the civil service group showed its sharp teeth to Zhu Gaojie, the Ming Dynasty Prince!
