Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 98: Ting Yi Feng Shui
Chapter 98 Court Discussion on Feng Shui
The three law divisions jointly signed the case, and usually only accepts review. However, this time the emperor’s Jinjing water discharge is of great importance and involves multiple government offices. The three officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Supervisory Office, and Dali Temple were ordered by the emperor to try the case. Spread throughout the capital.
Wei Shen, the right servant of the Criminal Ministry, just took Yang Ling, Ni Qian and others to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. The Shangshu Xu Guan of the Ministry of Industry and the Shangshu Wang Qiong of the Ministry of Rites came to visit the Ministry of Justice. Although the two did not talk about the case of the people involved, However, he trumpeted that the damage to the dragon veins endangered the importance of the society and the emperor's attention to this matter. Shang Shu Hongzhong, who listened to it, felt uneasy.
The man who was in prison involved multiple government offices. The most troublesome people were the people with the ceremonial supervisor and the emperor and former celebrity Yang Ling. He temporarily wondered whether the holy intentions would be severely punished. To what extent, I was at a loss. Now that I heard the words of the two Shangshu adults, it seemed that a beacon lighted up when I was lost, and I suddenly thought I had an idea.
Wei Shen, the right servant of the Criminal Department, unloaded Yang Ling and others from the prison car and sent them to the prison in person. After the arrangements were made, they just walked out of the prison door and saw two Jinyi official schools arguing with the head of the cell with official documents. He rushed over and asked: "What is arguing in front of the prison of the Criminal Ministry?"
The cell head bowed and said, "Master Wei, these two are the chiefs of the town's chief of punishment, and they want to interrogate the suspects in the imperial mausoleum case."
Wei Shen glanced at the two Jinyiwei Hundred Households in flying fish suits. Seeing that they were the direct official Wei Shen of the famous master Zhen Jing, they were so arrogant that they did not dare to be as arrogant as they were when facing the cell boss. Jin Yiwei hundred households stepped forward and said: "Xiaguan Cui Ti, I have met Master Wei. Great Ming law, for any case that violates His Majesty the emperor and involves officials in the court, the Zhenfu Secretary has the right to interrogate and even torture. But since the emperor The case has been handed over to the Three Laws Division. Our town governor will no longer dispute the trial, but we have to listen to the case. Regardless of whether the prisoners are arraigned or tortured, please let the adults inform me in time to be present."
Wei Shen was dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei’s domineering, and was furious when he heard the news, saying: "Although this matter involves the imperial mausoleum and the royal family, it is caused by official fraud and corruption. It has nothing to do with the major rebellion. Moreover, the emperor has already committed this case. Can Jin Yiwei also intervene if it is fully delegated to the three law divisions?"
Cui Tipi smiled and said: "The responsibility of an adult is, and it should be handled impartially. But this is also the responsibility of Jin Yiwei, and the emperor did not say that Jin Yiwei is not allowed to inspect this case."
Wei Shen looked up to the sky and made a haha, struck a long beard and said: "Dai Yi is the supervisor of the ceremony, who does not know that Jin Yiwei and the supervisor of the ceremony are in the same home, please tell the admiral Zhang and the town magistrate Mu It's better to avoid suspicion!" Wei Shen walked away after saying.
Two hundred households in Jinyi walked down the stairs and looked at Wei Shen's back. They didn't have a chance to take the old man. Cui Ti frowned and said: "The Criminal Ministry sent the case to Wei Judge. I'm afraid it will make the town caretaker embarrass the adults. This old man doesn't even care about the emperor's relatives. How would he care about us?"
Huang Ziwei, another one hundred households in Jinyi, smiled and said: "Brother Cui, Yan Wang is good to see, the kid is difficult to deal with, the old man Hong Zhong is cautious, the most is the rudder of the wind, we will directly submit the post to him, forgive him not Dare to save Mr. Mou's face."
Unexpectedly, Hong Zhong thought he knew the emperor’s heart, and received the post of the town caretaker Mou Bin submitted by the two. After a long period of indulgence, he said to Cheng Wenyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, "Go, tell two Jinyi hundred households, just say The case is critical. The relevant persons have not completed the crimes, so they cannot be interrogated. Please go back."
Cheng Wenyi, the servant of the Xing Department, worried and said: "My lord, it will be too late for a lifetime. What if Jin Yiwei Qiang wants to intervene when he is promoted to the court?"
Hong Zhong smiled slyly and said: "At that time, the three divisions will be interrogated and the attention will be drawn, and Wei Shen will be asked to find a way to stop them outside. Mou Bin dare to risk the world’s taboo and force Can't go to court?"
Hong Zhong, who has always been exquisite and versatile, dared to challenge Jin Yiwei today, which surprised Cheng Wenyi's heart. He answered "Yes" and quietly retreated.
Hong Zhong smiled and thought to himself: "I, the yamen of the criminal ministry, are not Jin Yiwei's opponents, but the three law divisions are in the same court. Does Mou Bin dare to offend the three divisions at the same time? The trial of this case is clear, and I am afraid that the internal phase will change. People, my prestige status will be the same by then, will Mou Bin see me so arrogant?"
In the Mou Bin room of Town Fusi, the admiral and commander Zhang Xiu walked around the room with his hands on his back, and hummed heavily for a long while: "It's really stupid. The construction of the imperial mausoleum was a rare opportunity. With this capital, Yang Ling can go a step further. How could he get involved in such a big case? I just rushed back to the capital, and I don’t know the details. Is there really water in the mausoleum?"
Mou Bin smiled and said: "It doesn’t matter whether the water seepage is not important. The important thing is that the first emperor ruled the world with benevolence at the time. If the ceremonial supervisor and Jinyi pro-army, the civilian officials are even more prestigious."
Zhang Xiu glared at him and scolded: "So, this is true? Damage to the dragon veins is related to the national fortune. How important is that? How dare you deal with it calmly and cause trouble for that? Do you support me?"
Mou Bin is the commander of Jinyiwei’s Xiazhen Fusi, but because he controls the most important department of Jinyiwei, the position of power is more than that of Zhang Xiu. After listening to Zhang Xiu’s words, I can’t help but smile and say: "My lord, dig A piece of land hurts the nation’s fortune? Do you really believe what those foolish folks say?
Haha, in the past Song Huizong had a poor heir. He listened to Mr. Feng Shui's saying that he would increase the northwestern corner of Bianliang City several times because of the hard work of the people and the fortune. It is said that the descendants will prosper and the nation will prosper. What is the result?
He was superstitious in the study of Fengshui, made great efforts in civil engineering, cultivated Taoism, and became the king of subjugation. Even his son Song Qinzong was taken away by the Golden Soldiers, and the two emperors were taken into captivity. It is a world wonder, and the dynasty. .....".
"Enough!" Zhang Xiu's face twitched, before he said for a while: "As the saying goes, one fate, two luck, three geomantic omen, four accumulate yin virtue, and five reading. Although these things are illusory, they cannot be trusted, nor can they not. Now that this is the end of the matter, you can only do your best to obey the destiny. You send someone to contact Yang Ling to see what he has to say and plan, if you can save him, do your best. If things cannot be done, and my Jin Yiwei is involved. ..... Do you understand?"
Mou Bin nodded and said quietly: "Understand the humble job, I have someone to do it."
*
Wei Shen detained Yang Ling and others as imperial court prisoners, and they were imprisoned in separate cells. They were not able to see each other to avoid collusion. Yang Ling was detained alone in a cell with a lot of mildew, sitting dull, a jailer looked at the iron fence "dangdang" with a knife handle, and said, "I'm eating", and then handed in a rice bowl.
Yang Ling has since been arrested in the capital and locked up in this dark cell. He was already hungry before returning the water and rice. Hearing this, he hurriedly got up and walked over to the rice bowl that was passing through the door. The jailer half lowered his head, looked around alertly, raised his head suddenly, and laughed in a low voice: "Master Yang, it's been a long time, Master Mou is asking you questions in a humble position. You have to listen carefully."
Yang Ling Seeing him raise his head, it was Qian Ning Jinyi Qianhu, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and lost his voice: "It's you? Why did Lord Qian get in here? Be careful to be discovered."
Channing smiled and said: "If I don’t come, just send a brother, I’m afraid you think it’s the torture department who is slandering you, will you be blunt? Don’t worry, the torture department has our people, so I can’t take you out, but come in and see But it doesn’t matter. Mr. Mou asks you, can things be done seamlessly?"
Yang Ling's heart was shocked: "Mou Bin asks this, obviously it has been determined that the imperial mausoleum entering the water is absolutely true. Listening to his tone, it does not seem to care about Feng Shui."
Yang Ling didn’t dare to tell the truth easily. He didn’t have a deep friendship with Mou Bin. If Mou Bin deliberately criticized him, it would be a dead end, so Yang Ling vaguely said: "Humble job doesn’t understand what an adult means, Jinjing is not too late. , Where is the flaw to be found?"
Channing raised his thumbs up, smiled and nodded: "It's the best, but there is someone in the middle of the court. It's always hard to tell." He said: "My lord has any plans, please tell me , I will return to Lord Mou and give my best to help."
Yang Ling thought about it for a while, and negotiated several methods with Channing, but they were all methods of exerting pressure to force the three law divisions to release water. It is impossible to remedy this kind of thing. After hearing this, Qian Ning frowned and thought for a while and said, "It's difficult, it's really difficult. It's so troublesome, I'm afraid it's not so easy to solve."
Yang Ling smiled faintly: "I know that Brother Qian did his best. The ancients said: "The whispers in the world, the sky is like thunder." Yang believes that there are gods three feet above the head, and I only need to be able to live up to the world. Conscience, that's it, this is the end of the matter, do your best to obey the destiny! Just... I hope Brother Qian will inform Zhuo Jing, if the emperor's anger affects her family, ask her to hold the offerings in the inner hall. Amnesty to the emperor, Brother Qian brought the words, Yang Mou is dead, and Jiuquan is also grateful!"
Qian Ning looked at him steadily for a while, and sighed: "If you don’t tell me, I also know the reason, brother, I can’t be such a good person, but Big Brother Yang is a person like this, brothers are also very respectful. Master Yang is relieved. I have sent someone to talk to the other adults so that they can grit their teeth and refuse to admit it. The adults can do it for themselves."
Wei Shen returned to the Criminal Ministry, thinking that Jin Yiwei is closely related to Dongchang, and Dongchang is a direct line of the Superintendent of Lies. Jin Yiwei actively intervened today. Is it because Dai Yi, the leader of the eunuchs and eunuchs, failed?
Wei Shen thought of this, worried that Jin Yiwei would buy out the jailer’s collusion, and hurriedly returned to the prison of the criminal ministry, arranged for the jailers in a group of four, guarding the prison door, and he personally stayed in the prison and never left.
As soon as Qianning left, Wei Shen came back. The four prison doors were guarded day and night by the jailer. The guards of Jin Yi were all pervasive. It would be difficult to confide in the news. Qian Ning tried several times. Wei Shen was suspicious, and had to report to Mou Bin as Yang Ling ordered.
Sansiyamen suddenly held two trials after that. Jin Yiwei was actually excluded. Seeing that Jin Yiwei’s power was challenged and excluded, even Zhang Xiu was very angry. At the moment, Jin Yiwei spied out, creating rumors, slander, workers, Officials of the Criminal Department, at the same time searching for their handle.
The three law divisions will be tried twice, and the Yang Ling four people all say no, and despite the fact that he has come forward to testify, only that he is embarrassed and framed, making the three law divisions helpless. Hong Zhong, Shangshu of the Criminal Department, had no choice but to tell Zhengde Emperor in the early dynasty: "Enlighten the emperor, the minister was ordered to trial the imperial mausoleum water seepage case with the inspectorate and Dali Temple. The testimony was brought to the court for confrontation, but the four prisoners insisted that. Ming Shichang committed an imaginary illness, dazzled, and refused to admit it. He asked the emperor to give orders and allow the Ministry of Criminal Justice to impose punishment on the four prisoners."
Although the preferential treatment of "not to be tortured to a doctor" has long been destroyed by Zhu Chongba’s cowherd baby, apart from Jin Yiwei’s imprisonment, I have never heard that the Ministry of Criminal Justice can also torture officials Forcing a confession, as soon as this case was opened, the Ministry of Justice was in charge of life and death, and it was about to become the second Jinyiwei. After hearing this, hundreds of officials couldn't help but look at him.
University Fellow Liu Jian immediately went out and said: “The emperor, this is absolutely essential. Whether the four criminals are really guilty? There is only one witness at present, and there is no physical evidence to confirm. Therefore, I was flogged by the supervising imperial Dai Yi. Since ancient times, I have been chasing after the wind, because of a bit of personal grievances, and there are not no people who are brave enough to frame the court minister. If they are tortured under severe punishment~IndoMTL.com~ won't they be wronged?"
Xu Guan anxiously said: "The emperor, the Jinyi army has the power to execute the sentence on behalf of the emperor, but this matter is related to the ceremonial prison. In order to avoid suspicion, the emperor will submit the criminals to the third division for interrogation. The prisoner knew that the dragon veins were damaged and the national fortune, and the end was extremely serious. People would think of death and were naturally cunning. They would not confess without severe punishment. The so-called urgent matter, please your majesty."
Xie Qian came out of the class and said: "The son does not talk about strange powers, my Great Ming wins the world, and it is the destiny of heaven. If a feng shui can win the world and lose the world, shouldn't it be wrong to gain and absurd to lose? Saints have always looked at feng shui. For the demon and delusion, the first emperor expelled thousands of Taoist priests and monks and warlocks after the'Li Guang case' in the past to confuse the people with his demon words. How can your majesty condemn the minister because of one person's words?"
Orthodox Confucian disciples have never believed in feng shui. They believe that those who gain the Tao will gain the world, and those who win the hearts of the people gain the world. They believe that the key to fate lies in the cultivation of the individual's inner heart. If you can have good thoughts in your heart and appreciate the heart of heaven, you can turn Misfortune transforms destiny, so the Chinese military officials in North Korea mostly oppose Feng Shui.
But the emperor’s funeral, looking for a good place to bury, looking for a Feng Shui master to explore the irrelevant political affairs, so they have always closed their eyes, but now the Ministry of Penalty wants to use excuses for power, the three scholars are a bit dissatisfied Up.
And the folks have now spread rumors that because the first emperor moved to the tomb, the imperial court will levy heavy taxes, and many people are worried about it. I don’t know that Chai Mi is expensive when I’m not in charge. The three academicians are in charge of government affairs. Although the cost of money and food is not stretched, they also know that such profligacy cannot be avoided. Moreover, there are signs of civil commotion in several Great Ming disaster-stricken places. At this time, tax increases are no different from fire. Adding oil, so the three bachelors who have always progressed and retired in the same direction agreed that the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of Etiquette made a fuss. It was someone else's intentions and decided to oppose it.
