Chapter 362: Clear rewards and punishments
The anger of the civil officials was completely ignited, and everyone's face showed anger.
The court has made good reprimands!
If the Ming Dynasty does not urge this thing, it will be truly harmful to the national system.
Countless ministers who claim to be saints were filled with righteous indignation. Even those who claim to be mature and polite were all so excited that their faces were red.
Imagine what would be the result if the Imperial College was converted into some undescribable places?
The ancients admired the ancients the most, and this ancients were actually saints.
Now that the saint is so insulted by you, Li Long, is openly an enemy of the saints and students all over the world.
Curses were already everywhere.
Killing is a tyrant's act.
But this... was enough for the civil servants of the court to treat Li Long as a pig or dog.
Some people were even more excited and burst into tears.
"Revenge!" someone shouted.
When everyone saw that it was Shen Wen, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, who was speaking!
At this time, he said in anger, "If we don't attack North Korea, what's the difference between us and pigs and dogs! Now the thief and jackal have become a traitor, are close to evil and obscene, harm loyal and kind, kill brothers and nephews, insult the holy sects, are the anger between gods and men, and the heaven and earth cannot tolerate it!"
He said while beating his chest, and he seemed very heartbroken. "The Ming Dynasty protects the vassal subjects for the superior country. Now the country's principles are always upside down, jackals and wolves are in power, and the ministers are in panic all day long. Thousands of people avoid their kings like snakes and scorpions. The rituals and music are broken, so they should be rebel soldiers to attack, slander the people and punish the world to righteousness."
Fang Jifan stood silently in the crowd, surprisingly, but he didn't expect that Shi Shi Shen would have such a passionate side.
But when you think about it carefully, these scholarly guys heard that the saints were humiliated, they were all indignant and wanted to raise an army to attack, but the Tatars attacked the border every time and did not see you so excited.
Of course, Fang Jifan dared not say these words, he wanted to keep a useful body to do great things.
Shen Wen's words immediately made a loud response from the ministers.
But at this moment, Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting high above, knocked on the desk.
Slap...
The Jinshen Palace finally became a little quieter.
Emperor Hongzhi looked around everyone, then said, "I issued an order more than two months ago. Do you still have any impression of me?"
“…”
People calmed down a little, and thus many doubts emerged.
Yes, that decree was seen by many people, but at that time, the mansion newspaper was copied. It was clear that it was said that it was to enthrone Li Long's mother, that is, the deposed concubine Yi Shi as the queen mother.
But in a blink of an eye, why did it become an imperial edict for reprimand?
At this moment, Fang Jifan stepped forward without hesitation and said, "My emperor is wise..."
Fang Jifan's voice suddenly scared everyone.
But Fang Jifan said with a look of red light, "My emperor was wise and knew that Li Long had a wolfish ambitions, but he refused to alarm the snake. So he issued an order, on the surface, to enthrone the deposed concubine Yi, but in fact he secretly instructed the prince to give His Highness a secret edict, ordering people to rush to Korea and rush to North Korea to warn Li Long! Your Majesty is planning and winning a thousand miles away, and controlling the current situation of North Korea. Li Long is so arrogant, but in fact he is just a clown who jumps the beam. How could he know that his wolfish ambition has been seen through by His Majesty at first sight. Poor Li Long, the clown, is still ignorant, and does not know that everything is in control of His Majesty..."
“…”
Everyone listened with a slight slight surprise.
The person who was not sure about it was shocked. It turned out that this was His Majesty's plan to secretly travel to Chen Cang.
In other words, the so-called fake edict that caused a storm was actually true. The one issued in the palace was two edicts, one was light and the other was dark. Is this your Majesty’s plan?
Although everyone doesn’t know why Your Majesty has made such a plan, it sounds like this, and everything... is a misunderstanding!
It seems that everyone blamed His Highness the Crown Prince, Fang Jifan, and Liu Gong...
So many people looked at Emperor Hongzhi with admiration and looked in awe.
Your Majesty is wise.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan directly, smiling. To be honest, it was not easy for Fang Jifan to find some character in him.
But this cleverness is really admirable.
Liu Jian and others were well aware of the inside story, but at this time, is the truth important? The most important thing is that another edict was sent to Korea in a timely manner, preventing the Ming Dynasty from becoming Li Long's accomplice!
For Liu Jian personally, his son is still alive and has made contributions!
Inspired by Fang Jifan, Zhu Houzhao also came up and said shamelessly, "Father..."
Before he could speak, Emperor Hongzhi had already suppressed his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to say it."
Looking at the officials who admired him very much, Emperor Hongzhi said suddenly, "Are I very wise?"
This rhetorical question made everyone feel silenced.
Because they knew that His Majesty had some more things to do.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "How could I have any wiseness? The reason why I am wise is not because of how smart I am, but because... I am really the emperor."
As soon as this said, everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and was stunned again.
What does this mean?
Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice, "Just like you, before the title of the Golden List, nothing was wrong, but when the title of the Golden List, you became officials, so you went from being a penniless person, gradually becoming smart people and an amazing person in the mouths of others. This is not because you became smart all of a sudden, but because you became officials, like me, you have the power of life and death."
"I am the emperor, but I know that I am not always very wise. As for the so-called nonsense of Fang Qing's family's strategy and victory, I will just listen to it. I don't blame him for talking nonsense here, because he is my minister, so when he has made me credit, my ministers rush to put this great contribution on me. But what if there is a mistake? My ministers are busy carrying it on themselves."
"A king, king, minister, minister, after all, isn't this the reason? But I am not wise and I don't have the ability to be sensible. If I have good things, I will also be inadvertent. This first enthroned imperial edict was indeed issued by me. But the second imperial edict..."
Speaking of this, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "It was the crown prince who issued it, it was a false edict."
The hall suddenly became an uproar.
"What a great crime is it to forge an imperial edict!" Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "And the one who did this is my son. Tell me, what is the crime that the prince violated?"
Zhu Houzhao was a little confused... Is this my own father? In order to cause trouble for his son, you don’t want to give any credit to your father?
The ministers looked at Emperor Hongzhi in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a moment!
Emperor Hongzhi laughed again, "Look, this is the crime of death."
Zhu Houzhao was so scared that she didn't dare to let it go.
"But..." Emperor Hongzhi had not finished speaking yet. He continued slowly, "I want to reward him. Do you know why? Because the house is about to collapse. Once the enfeoffed imperial edict is issued, Li Long, a person who is full of evil deeds, will use my imperial edict to do evil. Because if this imperial edict is enfeoffed, countless Korean scholars will be disheartened by the Ming Dynasty. Isn't this the house about to collapse?"
"When the house is about to collapse, some people will hide away. This is a gentleman who does not stand dangerous walls. But some people do not hide. They know that the house has collapsed, but they are still thinking that their ancestors teach me not to leave the house. I would rather be crushed by the house than to escape! Such people are loyal people. But there are people who know that the building is about to collapse, and if they go to help them, they will be praised by others, but they still try their best to hold on to the beam of the house and not to collapse the house. What is this called turning the tide, and supporting the building is about to collapse!"
"A smart person, such as Fang Jifan, saw that the house was about to collapse, the prince summoned Fang Jifan and Liu Jie, who was willing to sacrifice himself. He knew that forging an imperial edict was a crime of death, but in order to save my fault, he still dared to forge an imperial edict. So, are these people from the family of the ministers who have made contributions or have any mistakes?"
"..." At this time, the hall was already silent.
"Some people think that even if there is a great contribution, they cannot cover up their mistakes. They think that the country has laws and regulations. Once a precedent is set, then if someone follows the same thing, wouldn't it be a ruthless person?"
Emperor Hongzhi kept smiling when he said this. He seemed to be very touched today. At this time, he sighed, "I see this is wrong. The house is about to collapse, but I am still wandering around whether my ancestors are allowed to save the house. What is this called "Food the ancients and not melted."
"I see sincerity when I risk my great crimes, but I am willing to work hard to correct the court's faults."
"I have seen peace in the world a few years ago. But in the past two years, I have seen the devastated country. In fact, the country is still the same country, but the scenery I see is different. The country has been going on for 120 years. In the past 120 years, there have been so many accumulated problems. What I need are those who are unwilling to look forward to the front and back, and even knowing that it is a heinous crime, but still willing to work hard to do it loyally and bravely?"
"So!" Emperor Hongzhi paused and said seriously, "The prince committed a crime, and Fang Jifan, Liu Jie and others were all guilty. But... I will not punish their faults, but I will praise and praise their merits!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers were silent.
No one seems to care whether it is guilty or not.
After all, if we let it go, would we really let the court enthrone Li Long?
That was a beast. The court enthroned Li Long and praised his loyalty and filial piety. This guy turned his head and trampled Confucius on the ground. So what was the court? Are he accomplices?
At this time, I came forward to consider this. Wouldn’t this be the same as Li Long?

The tiger slept early last night and woke up before dawn today. It took some time to think about it and kept typing. It was a little late a few days ago. I really lacked sleep and spent more time writing books. If time allows, the tiger actually wants to try to get it as early as possible!
