Chapter 67 Praying Mantis Catch Cicada (2)

At night, sparks gather in Hangzhou.

Although the martial law was rigorous when the crown prince first entered the city, when night came, the prosperous Hangzhou City became a place of singing and dancing, with flowers as bright as heaven and earth.

Restaurants, fireworks, willow alleys, pleasure boats on the river, teahouses and academies are all over the place. Whether it is scholars, merchants, or ordinary people, they are talking about the sudden arrival of the emperor's grandson in Hangzhou when they are drunk.

The crown prince is still honored by the land, and he is even more proud of being a person in Hangzhou.

The people are all simple. If they had not experienced it personally, it would be difficult for them to think that there would be so much darkness in the world. Even if they thought of it, the real darkness was far a hundred times darker than they thought.

They even unexpectedly, when they were talking happily, the atmosphere in the lobby of the governor had reached a freezing point.

Zhu Yunxiu was still sitting upright under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, holding his chin with one hand and gently lit the table with his fingers. Under the hall, the officials from Hangzhou who were kneeling were all trembling and sweating profusely.

The yamen of the governor occupied a huge area. There were officials kneeling in the lobby here, and the room next to it was directly used by the Sansi and Jinyiwei as the room for trial.

Whenever there were screams and screams coming from the room beside them, the bodies of the kneeling officials would tremble a little. Moreover, from time to time, colleagues were pulled out of the crowd by the Jinyiwei, which made them even more frightened and scattered.

The prefect, Tongzhi, Tongzhi, Censor and other major officials in Hangzhou Prefecture became prisoners in an instant. With their instructions, more officials in charge were taken down one by one. Now everyone in the hall was in danger, and sweat was flowing into a river on the ground made of gray bricks.

Your Highness, have a meal! You didn’t eat lunch! The turtle came quietly and said to Zhu Yunxiu, “I have someone cooked pearl fragrant rice porridge for you………

It’s not bad for this time, nor is it bad for this meal! Zhu Yunxiu looked at the officials in the hall, and waited here, and waited until the truth was revealed, and there was no fish that missed the net before eating. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be at ease with the food, and he wouldn’t be able to eat it!

If Zhu Yunyu was just a commoner, he would probably only curse and complain in his heart when he heard about such a thing. Then he would say, the truth that being an official for thousands of miles is just for money, he should eat and drink, and he would forget it in a few days.

But now he is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty and the helm of the future empire. Such things must be investigated and dealt with strictly, and they cannot be ruthless. They must not tolerate them, nor can they relax.

In his memory, he deeply agreed with Gu Yanwu, a great scholar in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The shamelessness of the scholars and officials is the shame of the country!

All the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings and ministers are kings and ministers. The Central Plains dynasty with a huge territory are all the emperor's helpers.

Throughout history, scholars have always been officials.

Being an official selects scholars because literature carries the truth. The saints that scholars read are the great way to govern the world, educate the people, and benefit the people.

Officials choose morality first. The reason why scholars are scholars is that they have more moral values ​​than ordinary people. Being unrighteous and unvirtuous is shameless.

Because they have morality and great power, they are granted power to manage the world, enjoy the support of the people of the world, and to grant wives, children, and family wealth and honor.

This is not Zhu Yunyu, nor is he using his modern ideas to force the ancients. But in common sense, the requirements of officials and scholars in all dynasties were like this. This is the moral requirements of the ancients for officials.

Because while enjoying huge power and identity dividends, officials and scholars have obligations to the king and the world! And the people are the seekers, they are humble devotees. They have no obligations to the emperor and the world.

Looking at historical books, they mostly record the reputation of loyal ministers and filial sons, and few record the harshness of the people.

China has been around for thousands of years and when dynasties have changed, the people only want a bowl of stable rice. History never demands the living people, nor does it impose on them. The ethereal righteousness is only a shameless person who does not fulfill the obligations of officials and does not fulfill their responsibilities.

The spirit and character of scholars are their best interpretation of obligations. For example, Yan Zhenqing, who destroyed his family and relieved his difficulties. For example, Wen Tianxiang, who was generous to death. For example, those good officials who loved the people as much as their children in history, such as those wise ministers who were upright and kept their reputations for the ages.

Just like the teachers around Zhu Yunxiu, such as Fang Xiaoru and others, Zhu Yunxiu knew that sometimes they were too pedantic, too whimsical, and too stubborn. But every time these people talked, he had to listen humbly.

A true scholar only tells the truth for the people and does not flatter the king.

Those who just want to enjoy power and not fulfill their obligations are shameless scholars and officials.

But the reality is ironic. Over the past thousand years, there are still more shameless officials. No emperor in all dynasties dares to use super high moral standards to demand his ministers.

Because everyone is human, has seven emotions and six desires, and loves power. Therefore, even the most powerful saint master will turn a blind eye to corruption and privileges. Because I can't control it, I can't control it.

However, in virtue, I have never relaxed. No matter what you are in private, you must not lose your morality, be unrighteous, and be shameless.

The case in Hangzhou, the case of the missing person, is a shamelessness that is even more terrible than corruption.

The Ming Dynasty in history was ruined by shamelessness.

Zhu Yunyu never expected that his future ministers would be saints. But he would never tolerate that shameless people hold high positions. Prevent problems from happening and prevent problems before they happen.

Outside, there were mixed steps. A Jinyi Captain came in and knelt down to report to His Royal Highness the Grandpa, Sun was just a mother, and 32 confidant servants of the Sun family, and arrested him!

Zhu Yunxiu did not reply, but first glanced at Sun Qizhong who had always been sank on the ground. Hearing this, Sun Qizhong, who seemed to have accepted his fate, began to struggle violently.

Bring it up! Zhu Yunxiu said.

Go! Go in!

Kneel down!

The Jinyiwei scolded and kicked him, and his round face was frightened and trembled like a sieve, and the young man was brought up. Before this young man, he was a woman with disheveled hair and couldn't stop looking around.

master!

Father!

Li and Sun exclaimed at the same time.

Father saved me! Sun just cried loudly.

Master! Li burst into tears.

Sun Xiaozhong's body struggled violently under the guards for a few times, and a strong sense of reluctance appeared in his eyes. But in the end, his expression slowly calmed down, and thousands of words in his heart finally turned into a sigh. Two lines of tears fell, snatching the ground with his head.

You are Sun Damn? Zhu Yunxi asked jokingly.

Sun just knelt on the ground, his eyes full of tears. If it were an unknown person, he would still feel a little pitiful. But when he remembered what he did, this man did not deserve to cry.

The villain is Sun Wu! Sun Wu said in a trembling voice.

You beast, you look like a human? Zhu Yunxiu sneered and said, "When he tried hard, he threw the confession he had just read on the table, you did all these?"

Sun was just like an electric shock, rolling backwards, not me! Not me!

The evil people will only face the weak. Facing the imperial power and power, their performance is worse than the weak they bullied.

Kneel! A Jinyiwei stepped forward and used a scabbard to bang a few times.

Don’t hit my son! Li shouted with a terrible cry and threw himself on his son, raising his face and shouting, Your Highness, these things were not done by my son, no!

The evidence is as strong as a mountain! Every piece of it is clear, you still dare to argue! Zhu Yunxiu was so angry that he laughed.

Your Highness, Your Highness! Li was panicked and shouted loudly that it was instigated by others, and he was not the main culprit. It was all instigated by his friends, and my son was not the main culprit!

I told him why this beast was wearing a human skin? It turned out that there was a beast mother who was also wearing a human skin! Zhu Yunxiu said angrily, there is also a beast's father! He is really a family of three beasts, and it is a strange story for all ages!

Father, save me! Sun just cried under his mother.

Son! Sun Qizhong burst into tears. Things have come to this point, like a man! He said, yelled, your father and mother die with you, you are like a man!

Zhu Yunxiu looked at Sun Xiaozhong for a long time. Gu said it wrong. You are not animals. You still have a heart and know good or bad. As he said that, he sneered. He couldn't raise a godfather's fault. Gu originally thought you would say that you did not teach him well, which led to the disaster today! Unexpectedly, you did not regret it until you die!

Then, Zhu Yunxiu said again, do you think it's enough to die? It's not that easy! What you do will be returned ten times as long as you do. Only in this way can you be worthy of the people who harm you, and only in this way can you comfort the world!

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunxiu was no longer interested in seeing the ugly behavior of the Sun family. He waved impatiently and pulled him down to examine him!

The Sun family members were dragged down again.

Zhu Yunxiu could stand up, walk to the hall, and pick up the confession on the ground.

Bloody confessions, every word and sentence are full of sin. This is still the one who can find the victim with names and surnames. Those who dare not speak out without names and surnames may have many more.

He posted these to the city and passed on the orphan handwriting to make the people suffering in the city seek justice, but they are not named. Zhu Yunxiu said coldly.
