Dongzhimen.

Before Wang Pu could leave the city, the people from the Five City Military Police were blocked. Wang Pu, Scarface, Big Bearded Man, Xiao Qi and the fifties were all arrested. Wang Pu was directly sent to the Heavenly Prison, and Scarface and other Scarface were taken to the Ministry of Justice Prison.

The next morning court.

The ministers in the hall were rushing, and some were shouting and killing, some were beaten and stamping their feet, and some were crying. I really don’t know whether they were excited about the heinous crimes committed by Wang Pu, or simply to show their loyalty, patriotism and aloofness in front of Emperor Chongzhen and all officials?

No matter how the officials made trouble, Emperor Chongzhen sat steadily on the dragon throne and never expressed any opinions.

In fact, since the second year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen rarely expressed his opinions directly at court meetings. Although this man had not received systematic royal education, he was born with extraordinary skills in controlling people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to become the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian at the beginning of his ascension.

However, not expressing an opinion does not mean that Emperor Chongzhen has no idea. It is still the same sentence. He is waiting, waiting for the clever minister to say what he wants to say. To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen was indeed very dissatisfied with Wang Pu's series of arbitrary actions, but these are not enough to make him kill Wang Pu.

Zhou Yanru was a smart man. He quickly figured out the thoughts of Emperor Chongzhen from his expression of neither sadness nor joy. He suddenly stepped forward and knelt under the Danmu, singing loudly: "Long live, my minister Zhou Yanru has something to do."

"Please speak with Aiqing Zhou."

Emperor Chongzhen's tone was indifferent but indescribable majesty. The whispers in the hall stopped abruptly like a knife cutting, and instantly quieted until the needle fell.

Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "I think that what Wang Pu did was indeed a traitor, but after all, he made great achievements for the court, and it was a brilliant achievement that he had never made since the Liao incident. For such a meritorious official, I think that even if he was a judge of his crime, he should give him a chance to defend himself."

"Long live." Chen Xinjia, the Minister of War, quickly came out to echo, "I think what Master Zhou said was very true. General Wang first resisted the order and then robbed the court of justice. If he was killed without saying a word, wouldn't it disappoint the soldiers on the nine sides and the people of the world be disappointed?"

Now, regardless of whether Chen Xinjia is willing or not, he and Wang Pu are already considered grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If Wang Pu is finished, Chen Xinjia will not be able to lose. Now protecting Wang Pu is to protect himself.

"Nonsense!" Liu Zongzhou, the censor of the Zuodu, could no longer hold back and shouted, "If there is any reason for the matter, then you cannot resist the imperial decree and rob the Dharma field! The imperial decree is rebellion. Wang Pu's eyes have no national laws and regulations at all? Resisting the imperial decree means disregarding the emperor. Is there still a long life in his eyes? Such a traitor is still necessary to give him a chance to defend himself?"

"What Lord Zhou said is very true." Li Banghua, the Right Censor, came out to echo, "If you kill a rioter like Wang Pu, the soldiers on the Nine-side and the people of the world can only applaud and applaud, how could you feel disheartened?"

"Long live, Wang Pu is extremely guilty, and An Lu should be killed."

"Long live, Wang Pu is so ruthless, and his sins are unforgivable!"

Before the two Qingliu bosses Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua finished speaking, the Censorate and the Censors of the Six Censors and Thirteen Censors all agreed. For a moment, the hall was full of condemnation. Zhou Yanru and Chen Xinjia's voices were immediately overwhelmed by the angry condemnation of Qingliu officials. Emperor Chongzhen still said nothing, but his brows became more and more frowned.

"Long live!" Chen Xinjia shouted loudly in desperation, "No matter what, Wang Pu still has a gold medal in his hand."

The angry censors looked at each other. They remembered that during the afternoon of the morning yesterday, Emperor Chongzhen was happy to give Wang Pu a gold medal for exemption from death. With this gold medal for exemption from death, Wang Pu could be exempted from death no matter how serious the crime he committed. At most, he would be dismissed from his post and investigated.

Zhou Yanru took the opportunity to report again: "I think what Lord Chen said is reasonable. General Wang first resisted the imperial edict and then robbed the judicial field. It may be because of a reason. Why not issue an edict to let General Wang be the palace for the report?"

"Yes." Emperor Chongzhen saw that no one opposed Zhou Yanru's proposal again, so he nodded, "According to your report, Wang Cheng's will."

Wang Chengen rushed forward and replied: "I am here."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Take Wang Pu to the palace."

"I obey the order." Wang Chengen agreed and shouted at the top of his voice, "Long live the order, take Wang Pu to the palace..."

Ministry of Justice Prison.

Xiaoqi Youyou said, "I don't know how the general is now?"

Scarface said: "No matter what, you can't kill the general, right? The general has a gold medal in his hand."

"Oh." Xiaoqi sighed and said, "Even if the general doesn't die this time, he will probably be dismissed."

"It was all me who harmed the general. If it weren't for saving me, the general wouldn't have resisted the order, nor would he rob the court. I was harming the general, and I was harming the general..."

The bearded man suddenly burst into tears, and while crying, he hit the wall with his head hard, and the pain was beyond words.

"Big bearded, please calm down." Scarface quickly snatched up and hugged the bearded, cursing, "Don't be like a woman. Isn't the general not dead yet? I'm just howling here, despairing?"

"If I had known this, it would be better to die in Liaodong." The bearded man said dejectedly, "What kind of energy is there to live?"

■■■

Wang Pu was quickly taken to the hall.

"Wang Pu."

Before Qingliu School could attack, Chen Xinjia asked first: "Why do you want to resist the order, and why do you rob the law?"

Chen Xinjia is worthy of being an old man in the officialdom. This question is very knowledgeable. After he asked this, the focus of the question immediately shifted to why Wang Pu resisted the imperial edict and why he robbed the justice field. If Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua asked first, the focus of the entanglement was definitely on the anti-implement and what crime should he be sentenced to?

"Long live, sirs," Wang Pu shouted, "I am resisting the order, but that's to save people."

"Nothing nonsense." Liu Zongzhou, the censor of the Zuodu, shouted sternly, "Is it reasonable for you to resist the order?"

"Wang Pu." Zhou Yanru also went out to ask, "You said that resisting the order is to save people, and then the robbery of the Dharma field is also to save people?"

"That's right." Wang Puran said, "It's just to save people."

"It's really outrageous." Li Banghua, the right censor, furiously said, "Save people and actually go to rob the court. Could it be that the prisoner sentenced by the Ministry of Justice is the person you want to save?"

"That's right." Wang Pu shouted, "The prisoner sentenced by the Ministry of Justice is the one I want to save!"

"What kind of person is that?" Chen Xinjia intends to lead the topic in a favorable direction to Wang Pu, and continues to ask, "It is worth your resistance first and then robbing the law to save him?"

"He is my life-saving benefactor." Wang Pu said, "When he was in Shengjing, he saved my life! A real man must be responsible for his life. He will repay all kindness and seek revenge. So I will save him even if I try my best to save him! What's more, this man is also a veteran of the Ming Empire, and he has no guilt at all! I saved him, which is to save the loyalty of the soldiers on the Nine Borders to the court and to the Emperor Long Live!"

Zhou Yanru asked, "Do you mean this veteran has followed you to Liaodong?"

Wang Pu said: "It's not just that I have been there. This veteran is the first Ming soldier to enter Shengjing City. And if this veteran hadn't led the Jiannu's brigade of cavalry with fifty brothers, none of the ministers and more than a thousand elite soldiers under him would have been able to return to the Ming Dynasty alive. If the slave chief Huang Taiji could not catch it, it would be impossible for the imperial seal to return to the Ming Dynasty."

"So this veteran has made merits to the court, so why was he sentenced to death?" Zhou Yanru's eyes suddenly turned to Liu Zeshen, the Minister of Justice, and asked, "Mr. Liu, what's going on?"
