Chapter 576 Setting the tone
People from Zhou Yanru and others looked at Zhou Yanru and wanted to speak but stopped.
The reason he set the tone, they will take the blame for the subsequent harsh treatment. Such a harsh treatment will inevitably be settled in the future, especially the emperor!
If you do this, the emperor is young and will take power in the future. Have you forgotten Zhang Juzheng's fate?
Seeing that Zhang Heyi and others were quite satisfied, Li Hengbing said indifferently: "What Yuan Fu said is, but the specific ones still have to be tried by the three departments and decided based on the case."
People from Zhou Yanru and others turned to him with wide eyes wide open. What do you mean? What else do you want? Isn’t this enough?
Zhou Yanru took up the position of the chief assistant, looked fierce and said, "What are you going to do?"
Li Hengbing said lightly: "Don't forget that there are many rebellious people in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, but they are all surrendered and rebels. They are really rebellious people. There are definitely no possibility of forgiveness. Among them, there are three vassal kings, more than a dozen nobles and nobles, and more than twenty high-ranking officials above the third rank."
Everyone was shocked and remembered that since Li Zicheng's power, there were countless generals, governors, governors, vassal kings who surrendered to Li Zicheng everywhere, and the officials who surrendered after entering the capital, most of them failed to escape and were detained in the Ministry of Justice, and had not had time to question them.
If the rebellion caught by bandits in various places and rebellion not caught after surrendering, it would be very serious if it was not punished!
Not long after the capital was recovered, there were too many things to do, and the Ministry of Justice had just been rebuilt for a short time, so it was impossible to pursue these on a large scale and thorough basis.
But the trial of the "Golden Palace Assassination Case" cannot be left alone.
Everyone frowned, and it was really difficult to get together, not to mention that the Zheng Xibo family was obviously going to cause trouble.
Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing and said in a deep voice: "I don't care what you think. The new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, and the thief has not been destroyed. The world is to stabilize people's hearts! You cannot go too far. You must report everything to the cabinet and do not act well!"
Li Hengbing bowed gently and said, "The Ministry of Justice will act as much as possible within its power and responsibility, and will not cause trouble to Yuan Fu."
If someone else said this, Zhou Yanru might be relieved. Zhou Zheng was in charge of the same sentence, even if it was a military order, he would doubt five points!
Knowing that he would not be able to make a decision with these people, Zhou Yanru and Taoism: "You should first review, not make a decision. Report to the cabinet first. I will personally talk to Zhengxibo tonight."
Zhou Zheng and his group bowed together, but they didn't take it seriously in their hearts. Zhou Zheng had already set the tone for them to deal with this case.
At this moment, Fan Wenjing rushed in with a memorial, and regardless of the occasion, he walked straight to Zhou Yanru and whispered: "Yuan Fu, look at this memorial."
Li Hengbing had no expression on his face and picked up the teacup beside him to drink tea.
Everyone's eyes were staring at the memorial in Zhou Yanru's hand. What happened that made Fan Wenjing rush in so rudely?
Zhou Yanru opened it quickly, glanced at him, his face suddenly changed, and he looked up at Li Hengbing.
Li Hengbing drank a sip of tea, his expression was always indifferent. He ignored Zhou Yanru's gaze and calmly put down the tea cup.
Zhang Sizhi looked at Zhou Yanru and glanced at Li Hengbing again. He felt something was wrong and asked, "Yuan Fu, what happened?"
Zhou Yanru stared at Li Hengbing, with a light flashing light, and said lightly: "One of the 30 vassal kings including Zhou, Liao, Zhao, etc. jointly wrote a letter saying, "Everyone is responsible for the difficulties of the country. He is willing to donate the fiefs of the royal palace, salary and all of them to the court to overcome the difficulties together."
Everyone was stunned, and then their expressions changed one after another. They quickly turned their eyes to Li Hengbing, Zhang Heyi, Ma Shiying and other Zhou Zhengyi.
In order to have a salary of 30,000 taels, these vassal kings all entered the capital. Now they are willing to donate more than two hundred years of "ancestor property" worth tens of millions of yuan to the court?
Even if they see a ghost, they won’t believe it!
These vassal kings handed over their fiefs to save their lives, but even if these vassal kings voluntarily, it would be equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's royal family becoming a rootless duck, which shakes the foundation of the country. How could it be?
Chen Yan was scared and looked at Li Hengbing and said, "Shu Li, are these really the vassal kings willing to do so?"
Li Hengbing said indifferently: "The Ministry of Justice has never been tortured or forced to confess, and I have never been to the king's restaurant. I don't know whether it is voluntary. If you have any doubts, you can ask in person."
Everyone sneered in their hearts, Li Hengbing's words were simply a lie.
Now all the kings are imprisoned and will be killed at any time. If they are confiscated, they will do this if they are guided by others. In order to protect themselves, why should they be tortured and forced to confess?
After Zhou Yanru's sneer, he frowned. These vassal kings all gave up their fiefs. What was Zhou Zhengyi's idea?
Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan and others were not confident enough, and Li Jues asked: "What should we do now? These vassal kings have to give up their fiefs. What do other vassal kings say? Should the court agree or not? What should we do if we agree? How can we continue if we don't agree?"
Zhou Yanru had a great hatred in his heart, and he wanted to throw this position as chief minister out and give Zhou Zheng a chance to face his current situation!
He is also an extremely smart person. I don’t know where he is, Zhou Zheng clearly puts him on the fire and roasts him!
At this time, he forgot how he wanted to be the chief minister and fought with Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Yanru suppressed his anger and looked at Li Hengbing and said, "What are you planning? I don't want to listen to nonsense!"
Li Hengbing's brows moved slightly, as if he could not bear it anymore, and said indifferently: "The emperor suggested that the court accept it and recall all the vassal kings back to the capital. After all, the world is in turmoil now, and countless vassal kings are in trouble. Returning to the capital is conducive to the stability of the country."
No one believes such empty words.
Li Hengbing's words were very simple, that is, Zhou Zheng wanted to take back all the fiefs of the vassal kings and move them back to the capital. This was a matter of no discussion.
As for how many people kill, how many people kill, and how many people search for family and family siege, I don’t really care.
Everyone frowned and fell into deep thoughts. When the princes of the world were recalled, the court would further lose control of the local government, which would also damage the majesty and foundation of the royal family and shake the foundation of the country.
Zhou Yanru looked at Li Hengbing and others, and thought to himself, saying, "I will order the clan mansion to do this matter and write a detailed note to come up with it. Don't move until this."
Li Hengbing's expression was indifferent, not knowing whether Zhou Yanru's words were answered or not.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Gao Hongtu interrupted: "The Zhou family's pie was commissioned by the Xibo to issue a 'bandit suppression bond' in the near future, guaranteed by the state treasury, and half of the profit was paid to raise 5 million taels of bandit suppression from the world."
Everyone was stunned at first, then shocked.
Not to mention that Zhou’s bill number does not lack silver, just talking about such bonds, why should the treasury guarantee be required?
