I am the king of the dead

When Zhu Qiyu returned to the lecture hall, Xing'an hesitated and put a memorial on the table, and said: "Your Majesty, today is a happy day, and this memorial is really disappointing. Do you want to see it?"

"Look." Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial, read it for a long time, and let out a foul breath.

"It really doesn't stop. Today is the first day for the army to return to the camp. Can't you let me finish the day and fix these moths?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the memorial, full of disgust.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, according to Dudu Lu's preliminary investigation, there is really no one behind this case. It is Yang Jie himself who caused the disaster and caused this kind of life lawsuit."

The eldest son of Ying Guogong Yang Hong, the former Marquis of Changping, Yang Jie, was later accused of setting up a private gambling house with his cousin Yang Jing, and was finally deprived of his title, and the title of Marquis of Changping fell to Yang Jun .

This Yang Jun fought on the front line and earned a lot of credit. This Yang Jie had a life lawsuit on the first day Yang Jun returned to Beijing.

While drinking, Yang Jie had a quarrel with others, together with family members in the mansion, he killed one person and wounded three others. The Shuntian government office didn't want to report it today, wouldn't this be an embarrassment to His Majesty?However, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all lawsuits involving human life must be reported according to the facts, and the Shuntian Mansion must file the report on the same day.

A rule is a rule, if you trample on it at will, it is not a rule.

"What does Yang Jie mean? Are you courting death?" Zhu Qiyu looked left and right. If there is really no conspiracy behind this case, then it means that Yang Jie is courting death?

Chapter 916 Waste is waste, not even worth being used

If Yang Jie engages in something like robbing civilian girls, it's fine, and he won't make a fuss in front of His Majesty. The whole court will cover it up, pay two hundred and nine silver, and it will be over.

However, if this life lawsuit is not dealt with, if the family members get into a quarrel and run to the Dengwen Drum in front of Chengtianmen to beat the drum, the officials involved will have to be dismissed by His Majesty.

"How did it happen?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a frown.

Xing'an took out three chess pieces and said: "When Yang Jie was kicked out of Changping Hou's mansion, he couldn't take a single leaf away, but Yang Jie's mother was the aunt, so Changping Hou Yang Jun was in trouble. This drove him away. Just for being unfilial, Marquis Changping doesn’t hate Duke Ying in his heart, the old lady has the final say on the Marquis’ mansion, after all, Yang Jun took the Marquis away.”

Yang Jun didn't hate Duke Ying Yang Hong for passing the title to Yang Jie. Yang Jun just felt that his father had misunderstood the man. Yang Jun didn't care about the title because he could fight for it with his military merits. He had military talent and was just so conceited .

Yang Jie is good at disguising and making his parents happy. Yang Jun is a stubborn ass, and he has been beaten a lot when beating little Yang Jun.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an and pointed at himself and said, "Like me? I remember when Yang Jun was appointed as the prince, Yang Jun said something quite arrogantly, Xing'an, do you remember what it is?"

"Remember, Marquis Changping said: Take it yourself." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu said quite emotionally: "This Yang Jie has his mother to take care of him. Although he can't spend his days and nights like in the past, it is completely fine for him to have enough food and clothing."

"Who says it's not." Xing'an took out the first black chess piece and continued: "Yang Jing, who opened a gambling shop with Yang Jie before, is that distant cousin who wants to make a fortune with Yang Jie. The cousin took Yang Jie's money and went far away, so it was the last time to put Yang Jie together, and this old lady cut off all Yang Jie's expenses."

"Later, the old lady went to the government office to trouble the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. Yang Jing was arrested in Qiongzhou Mansion, and most of the money was recovered, but the old lady still cut off Yang Jie's expenses."

"It's September."

"Caught in Qiongzhou Mansion? Isn't this in Hainan?" Zhu Qiyu asked in surprise.

"The money this man took has a silver path, and he found it along the way." Xing'an took out a second black chess piece and said, "Yang Jie raised a brothel woman named Qing Cui'er, and the brothel woman spent that much money." The sea is gone, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Qing Cuier kept asking Yang Jie for money, but Yang Jie couldn't afford it. The brothel girl ended up with someone else. This happened in early October Son."

"The army returned triumphantly today. It stands to reason that Yang Jie, as the son of Duke Ying, should also go to see him off. But Yang Jie felt that his brother had robbed him of his title. Yang Jie found an excuse to shirk it, so he went to the restaurant to drink."

Xing'an took out the third white chess piece and said: "There is a man who eats wine in this restaurant, nicknamed Liu Dazui. With some spare money, I often go to this restaurant to drink, and today I talked about Changping Hou's incomparable bravery on the battlefield, and everyone applauded for the wonderful things he talked about."

"The more Liu Dazuo talked, the more he spoke, and he finally said something: Duke Ying has a successor, and if Marquis Changping continues to fight like this, sooner or later, Duke Ying will be awarded to Yang Jun."

Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu agreed quite a bit and said: "What Liu Dazui said is somewhat reasonable and knowledgeable. How old is Yang Jun, and at this age, he is in the prime of his life. If he continues to make meritorious service, I will put Yingguo Isn't it normal for the duke to confer on him?"

Xing'an continued: "If Yang Jie drank this meal, he might as well go to see off the army triumphantly. When he was about to leave, he happened to see Qing Cui'er and his friend going to the restaurant together. You love me deeply, so close. This Yang The more Jie listened, the more he watched, the more he drank, the more he became angry, and he stepped forward to provoke him."

"The family that Yang Jie brought wrestled with the family of this good friend. No one noticed. This Yang Jie was hollowed out by wine, lust and wealth, but Yang Jie was carrying a dagger. With this blow, he smashed the good friend Smash to death."

"Liu Da's mouth was slapped three times, so he didn't dare to say a word."

Xing'an added some details. For example, Liu Dazui is quite famous in the restaurant. He has been drinking and bragging in this restaurant for more than ten years.There was no one behind Liu Dazui, who got three slaps; Qing Cuier and her good friend went to the restaurant on a whim, they were shopping across the street, and they came over to eat and rest when they were tired;

Zhu Qiyu was silent for a moment and said, "Where is this Yang Jie now?"

Lu Zhong's judgment is that there is no one to arrange it. If someone arranges it, what kind of hands and eyes are there to make such a seamless game?

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Yang Jie got into trouble and asked the old lady to take shelter in the Marquis Mansion. The Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion didn't know what to do. After all, the matter involved the Marquis Mansion. He just took the rest of the people and waited for His Majesty's order."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "It's taken, let's do it, go and inform Marquis Changping, and tell Tiqi to get someone."

After some hesitation, Xing'an took the order to deliver the decree. Since His Majesty has the decree, no matter how late it is, he must be arrested.

Yang Jun was originally drinking happily at the big banquet, but he boasted all over the place, a little yellow door whispered a few times in Yang Jun's ear, Yang Jun frowned when he heard that something happened in the mansion After pleading guilty, he got up and left. Yu Qian tilted his head and said a few words to Shi Heng, then stood up and followed Yang Jun.

Little Huangmen didn't know much and said: "Yu Shaobao, Marquis of Changping, our family is just a little Huangmen. We don't know the inside story. We only know that Yang Jie, the eldest son of the Hou's mansion, killed someone. Notify Marquis Changping."

As for telling Changping Hou Yang Jun what to do, should he go to the Wutang to intercede, or go to the Hou's mansion to watch Tiqi Naren?His Majesty didn't say so, of course the Little Yellow Sect didn't dare to pass on the imperial decree.

This Yang Jun and Yu Qian hurried back to the Hou's Mansion, while the other Lu Zhong also took Tiqi to the Hou's Mansion, and wanted to arrest people at night, His Majesty wanted Yang Jie to die in the third watch, how could Yang Jie survive Fifth watch?

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The client, Yang Jie, was drunk in the Hou's mansion. Yang Jie was not asleep and was still drinking.

"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and if you worry about it tomorrow, come and drink!" Yang Jie raised his glass and drank it down at the empty table.

A family member said in a low voice: "Young master, the old lady still refuses to see you, saying that if you get into trouble outside, you should take care of yourself, so don't get involved in the Hou's mansion. The eldest lady also said that the Hou's mansion is now the villain's head, she Can't do it."

In fact, Yang Jie's mother's original words were not the same. The original words were: the Lord of the Hou family is in charge, let Yang Jie go to beg his elder brother, and let his elder brother go to the emperor to intercede.

But when the family spread the word, the meaning changed immediately, as if Yang Jun was insulting their mother and daughter.

Yang Jie's face was flushed, and he waved his hands and said: "Drinking and drinking, what trouble did you cause? My father is Ying Guogong. If it wasn't my father who led people from Xuanfu to help the capital at a starry night, could the emperor's throne be secure? Our family! Marquis of Changping Mansion, it’s the power of the dragon! Do you understand what is the power of the dragon?”

Yang Jie drank another cup, and continued, staggering, "Who is my brother? Marquis Changping, who made great achievements in the war, suffered seventeen wounds in the battle of the capital, and almost died. The emperor wants to regain Hetao. In Dongshengwei, my brother The Jedi counterattacked, and the Wala people ran away with their heads in their hands, and they will win the first battle! The Nanya government is in chaos, and my brother has been traveling for many years. He stayed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou for three full years before returning to the court. .”

"This time, I traveled thousands of miles to clear the grasslands. Is this a big contribution? Is it bigger than the sky, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that the master was so confused, the family said eagerly, "My lord, why don't we go and beg that bastard?"

Yang Jie continued to drink, he was really not worried, especially when he returned to the Hou Mansion, wasn't he just beating someone to death?If it's a big deal, please cover it up, and the matter will pass like this.

Yang Jie said drunkenly: "Such a great contribution, does the emperor want to give our family some face? I didn't poke a hole in the sky, what am I afraid of? Isn't it just killing someone? I am Yang Jun is his younger brother, how can Yang Jun not save me? What are you afraid of, come and drink."

"It's really hateful, that Qing Cui'er is actually pregnant!"

Why did Yang Jie want to kill him?

It was Qing Cui'er's pregnancy that made him lose his last sanity.

Yang Hong was at the border for a long time, and he didn't take good care of Yang Jie. He thought Yang Jie was studying hard, but he didn't know that Yang Jie slept with a maid at the age of 13. With a healthy body, at the age of 30, he already has a silver gun wax head.

Yang Jie has been married for many years and has never had an heir. The old lady was also anxious, so she secretly took a concubine for Yang Jie. Even so, Yang Jie still had no one under his knees. Yang Jie raised Qing Cuier just to have a son and a son. , but never.

The old lady turned a blind eye to Yang Jie's refusal to withdraw from the mourning hall to invite his uncle, and angrily reprimanded Yang Jun for being unfilial. It was also because Yang Jie had no children, and the Marquis' succession was always a problem.

Not long after this Qing Cui'er left Yang Jie, she became pregnant.

Who has a problem?

"Young Master, Young Master, Tiqi has surrounded the Hou's mansion and is waiting in front of the door." The gatekeeper rushed into the yard, shouting loudly.

Yang Jie's complexion changed, and he was half sober, and said loudly: "I'm so scared! This is the Changping Marquis Mansion, and it's also a place where a group of hawks and dogs run wild?! They will come in if they have the ability!"

Lu Zhong and Ti Qi have been waiting quietly, waiting for Changping Marquis Yang Jun to come, this is a man in the land, even if he is on a business with an imperial decree, if he doesn't know it, it will be embarrassing to meet in the future.

Yang Jun didn't drink much, but he still didn't ride a horse. His Majesty has a clear decree that he is not allowed to ride after drinking. Alcohol is not allowed in the barracks. He can only be rewarded in triumph. After drinking, he can ride a horse again. If the horse stumbles, this happy event will turn into a sad one Nobody wants to.

Yang Jun and Yu Qian drove to the gate of the Hou's mansion together. When they saw Tiqi, they knew that the emperor wanted to arrest people and the family of the Marquis, so he really needed Tiqi.

"Marquis Changping, I've offended you." Lu Zhong said apologetically. After all, the army returned triumphantly. Marquis Yang Jun of Changping had just received the medal of meritorious service in Fengtian Hall, and Tiqi surrounded Changping Marquis' mansion at night.

Yang Jun didn't drink much in the first place, sobered up during the trip, and he said helplessly, "Father has been guarding the border for a long time, and I followed him around. This younger brother is neglectful of discipline, and his family is unfortunate. Dudu Du laughed at him." .”

"Then I'll go in and get someone now." Lu Zhong asked tentatively, he hasn't got anyone yet, if Yang Jun rushes to the lecture hall to intercede for his younger brother, and His Majesty's will comes, Lu Zhong won't need to get anyone.

Yang Jun nodded and said: "Dudu Lu is on an official mission, Yang Jie committed his own crimes, he can't live, he can do what he wants."

If Yang Jun wanted to intercede with Yang Jie, he would not go back to the Marquis Mansion right now, but go to the Martial Arts Hall. Now that he has arrived at the Hou Mansion, he does not intend to intercede with Yang Jie.

Zhu Qiyu was actually waiting for Yang Jun. If Yang Jun really came to intercede, the emperor would not agree, but would clarify the stakes.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't wait for Yang Jun to intercede for his younger brother, but instead waited for Lu Zhong's reply, and he had already been escorted to the Zhenfu Department.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu came to the Wenhua Hall. He thought that the daily court meeting would set off a gust of wind, but it didn't happen as he expected. Instead, the court meeting was like the past, discussing state affairs.

"Masters of the Ming Dynasty should have heard about Yang Jie, so let's talk about it." Zhu Qiyu simply untied the cover.

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not many people knew about this matter.

Yang Jun immediately bowed his head and said: "Yang Jie kills and pays for his life. It is only right and proper. I am incapable of discipline. Please be punished by Your Majesty."

The yawning courtiers were all frowning, with confusion written on their faces, and it took them a long time to realize who Yang Jie was. This kind of descendant of Wu Xun, who can't be supported by mud, is everywhere in the capital.

Yesterday's big banquet, eating, drinking and drinking, this matter has not been spread even by well-informed stewards, let alone you Minggong.

He Zhang impeached Yu Qian for being greedy and aggressive, and He Zhang was newly defeated. There is still a deadline for this matter between men and women. If many ministers and workers in the court want to make a splash, they must gather momentum. According to the usual practice, it is also necessary to be stable for ten days and a half months. If you win, you win, and you should celebrate if you win. If you make small moves at this time, isn't that going against the trend?

Zhu Qiyu was also taken aback, usually the courtiers knew more than the emperor, but today it was the other way around.

"Xing'an, tell me about this matter." Zhu Qiyu asked Xing'an to explain the case clearly, and Liu Dakou, who got three slaps on his face, did nothing wrong.

Yu Shiyue glanced at Yang Jun and bowed his head and said: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, killing people in the street will be punished with life. Yang Jie has no title, so there is no need to discuss it."

From the perspective of criminal name, Yu Shiyue determined the nature of this case. Yang Jie was deprived of his title, that is, he is a person without a title, so naturally there is no need to go through the eight-discussion process.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yang Jun and said calmly: "Marquis Changping, I know you are filial, but this matter is a public case. If you continue to indulge Yang Jie like this, the fire may burn on Marquis Changping."

This time it was Yang Jie himself who committed the crime. If he is treated as a pawn next time, if Yang Jun is implicated by such trash, it will be a disaster for no reason.

He Zhang pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty is just, and I have no objection."

"Is there anyone else who wants to say something?" Zhu Qiyu looked around, as if asking: Is there anyone else who wants to commit Yang Jie's crime and even sit on Changping Hou Yang Jun, and use this matter to stir up news? Wu's wind power?

Back then, Yang Jie did not withdraw from Duke Ying's mourning hall, and angrily scolded Yang Jun for being unfilial. The whole capital knew that this scene of competing for the title was enough to make people inside and outside the capital happy to eat big melons for half a month. It is somewhat far-fetched to implicate Yang Jun in Yang Jie's crime.

In fact, it is not impossible to go through the process of promoting civil and military affairs in a far-fetched manner, but His Majesty's handling is too fast, so fast that the courtiers have not reacted, this cannot form a joint force, and the wind is even more powerful. There is no way to talk about it.

Zhu Qiyu looked around again, and then said: "Then follow Yu Shangshu's words, investigate the case clearly, after the third review, submit it to the imperial court, don't behead it for public display, give a glass of poisoned wine, Yang Jie is shameless, Changping Marquis The government still needs face, and I still need face."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Yang Jun thanked him again. This is the face that His Majesty gave him. Otherwise, according to His Majesty's usual style, Yang Jie himself would be disrespectful, and the emperor would not be able to give Yang Jie any respect.

Waste is waste, and it has no value even being used.

Yu Qian was as immobile as a mountain and didn't say a word. Is it because Yang Jie is too useless and useless?Or is His Majesty moving too fast for those who want to take advantage of it?

Yu Qian is more inclined to the latter.

"Your Majesty, I want to go to Beijing to announce Chidao tomorrow. I have been away from the capital for a year. I can rest assured that seeing is believing." Yu Qian said another matter, Jing Xuanchi said.

"Yu Shaobao has just returned to Beijing, how many days will he rest before going back?" Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear it, his foot just stepped on the ground of the capital yesterday, and today he is going to Chidao to have a look.

Chapter 917 A Man Without a Husband Makes the World Suffer

Why did Yu Qian leave Beijing again when the Beijing camp had just returned triumphantly, and went to Beijing Xuanchi Road to inspect?

For one thing, the abbot of Yu Qian, Jing Xuan Chidao, naturally had to take care of his duties.Secondly, the wind power of Xingwen and Wu in Beijing will not cause another storm in a short time. After all, it has entered the refractory period, with powerless intentions, and such things as potential cannot be seen or touched, but they really exist.

The main reason is to avoid suspicion. Just like the victory in the battle of the capital, Yu Qian couldn't wait to go to the frontier to inspect, just to make the Beijing camp completely become the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing camp of His Majesty, and not his own. Beijing camp.

Yu Qian's approach is very dangerous. When others accuse you of being a powerful minister, you'd better be a powerful minister, so that no one dares to criticize, and good people deserve to be pointed out. This weird world is so weird, take the initiative Abandoning force is an extremely dangerous thing for Yu Qian who abolishes and establishes affairs. Fortunately, Yu Qian returned the military power to His Majesty in front of him.

Yu Qian didn't want himself to be the reason for the prosperity of Wen and Wu. The foundation of this Beijing camp is Yu Qian's deployment of military and Japanese troops to Beijing. It is the past 11 years, no matter how Yu Qian didn't go to Beijing camp, the people of that year are still there. Moreover, he is still holding an important position in the army. This time, during the nearly nine-month Northern Expedition, Yu Qian wanted to leave Beijing to avoid suspicion.

Of course, the reason for avoiding suspicion cannot be stated openly. Yu Qian bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the matter of Jingxuan Chidao is of great importance. I can't sleep after tossing and turning. Please give your Majesty permission."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, thought for a moment, and understood Yu Qian's thoughts. When Yu Qian was going to inspect the frontier, he made his words very clear. Bao, I've made up my mind, Yu Shaobao will go again after Tianming Festival, Yu Shaobao also let the people working below take a breather, just came back, I went to check, it seems that after Yu Shaobao left Beijing, they didn't work hard .”

"You think so, Wang Shangshu?"

Wang Xie, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was a little confused. He was just a worker. How could he understand what kind of riddles Yu Qian and His Majesty were playing? Wang Xie didn't understand why today was not yesterday. Shaobao is not in the capital, and Jingxuanchi Road is still going according to the original plan, there will be no mistakes, if there are mistakes, I will bear it all."

Wang Xie didn't know what the riddle was, but following His Majesty's words, he was right. The Ministry of Industry is now in charge of the official factory, and the Baoyuan Bureau is also in charge of minting coins. This is the authority of the Ministry of Households, which is taken over by the Ministry of Industry. Over the years, His Majesty has no intention of returning it to the Ministry of Households. Now the Ministry of Industry is much more prestigious than in the past. Even if His Majesty said that the sun comes out from the west, the Ministry of Industry is also willing to demonstrate to His Majesty that the direction of the rising sun cannot be changed. Then change the definition of direction.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said such things in the Wenhua Palace, which is to issue a military order. If Yu Qian insists on holding on, he will not give the Ministry of Industry face. A tree has a skin, and a person has a face. The Ministry of Industry is the end of the six departments. Face still has to be given.

"I obey the order." Yu Qian had no choice but to agree.

Today is not yesterday, and His Majesty is not the time when the throne was unstable, so you can indeed take a rest.

"That's right." Zhu Qiyu nodded, he still didn't believe it, Yu Qian has returned to Beijing, and there are still people who dare to make trouble!

In those years, Yu Shaobao had his hands in his pockets, and he didn't know what an opponent was. He offended Emperor Wen in the palace examination, and then Yang Shiqi. He gave Wang Zhen a big mouth, which was equivalent to giving King Jili a big mouth. The Minister of the Ministry of War, Yu Qian is upright and upright, but he doesn't have any wrists. The more upright a person is, the harder his wrists are, and the stronger his strength is.

It's just that Yu Qian couldn't fight back because of his status. Isn't His Majesty the Emperor who is in charge of the logistics behind it?Regardless of face, Zhu Qiyu said that he was second, and the whole Ming Dynasty was rambling, and no one dared to say that he was the first.

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, minister, shouldn't it be time to return to Daningwei? I have been resting for a year now, and I returned to Beijing after the Chinese New Year last year. It has been a year, and the rest is enough."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands again and again and said: "Don't tell me, Uncle Huang, my several heirs didn't know their fifth grandpa when they met. It was hard to get to know each other. After leaving, they forgot again. Let's stay for a while."

Obedient and listening, Zhu Zhanqian was quite moved, but insisted: "Your Majesty, I also want to enjoy family happiness in the capital, but this army is triumphant, and the rest of the matter can't be done here. Isn't it a disappointment?" Trusted by His Majesty?"

Zhu Qiyu said sincerely: "The emperor's uncle is worried about state affairs, and his heart is commendable. Xing'an, when Duke Jun returned to Beijing, all the Lizhu girls sent by Jiaozhi are sent to the emperor's uncle today."
