    Chapter 98 Court Discussion on Feng Shui

    The three legal departments jointly signed the inquiry, and usually only accept the review. However, this time the water from the Jinjingjingjing in the imperial mausoleum is of great importance, and it involves many yamen.  .

    Wei Shen, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, just took Yang Ling, Ni Qian and others to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Xu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wang Qiong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to visit the Ministry of Criminal Justice.  Advocating the importance of damage to the dragon's veins endangering the country and the importance the emperor attaches to this matter, Hong Zhong, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, felt uneasy.

    The people imprisoned involved many yamen, and the ones that caused him the most headache were the supervisor of ceremonies and the emperor's celebrity Yang Ling.  I was at a loss in my heart, but now I heard the words of the two Shangshu lords, it was like a bright light was lit in the lost way, and I thought I had an idea.

    Wei Shen, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, unloaded Yang Ling and others from the prison car and sent them to the prison in person. After the arrangements were made, just as he walked out of the prison gate, he saw two officials in brocade clothes arguing with the prison boss with official documents. Wei Shen hurried over to ask  Said: "What's the matter of arguing in front of the criminal prison?"

    The jailer bowed and said: "Master Wei, these two are the governor of the town and the punishment department, and they want to interrogate the suspects in the imperial mausoleum case."

    Wei Shen glanced at the two guards in flying fish uniforms, seeing that they were Wei Shen, a direct official of the famous capital, they dared not be as arrogant as they were when facing the prison boss.  Going forward to salute, "Cui Ti, my lower official, I have met Mr. Wei. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, any case that violates His Majesty the emperor and involves officials in the court, the Zhenfu Division has the right to interrogate and even torture. But since the emperor has ordered this  The case is handed over to the Third Judicial Division, and we, the Zhenfu Division, will no longer argue for the trial, but we have to observe the case, whether it is arraignment or torture of prisoners, please inform us in time to attend."

    Wei Shen had long been dissatisfied with Jin Yiwei's domineering, and was furious when he heard the news, and said: "Although this matter involves the imperial mausoleum and the royal family, it is caused by officials' fraud and corruption.  Fa Si, can Jin Yiwei also intervene?"

    Cui Tipi smiled and said: "My lord's duty is that he should handle it impartially. But this is also the duty of the Jinyiwei. The emperor did not say that Jinyiwei is not allowed to inspect the case."

    Wei Shen looked up to the sky and laughed, stroked his long beard and said, "Dai Yi is a member of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Who doesn't know that Jinyiwei and the East Factory of the Supervisor of Ceremonies are in the same family. Please tell Admiral Zhang and Governor Mou, or  It's good to avoid suspicion!" Wei Shen said and left in a huff.

    The two well-clothed families walked down the steps and looked at Wei Shen's back, but they were at a loss as to what to do with the old man.  Cui Ti frowned and said: "The Ministry of Punishment handed over the case to Judge Wei. I'm afraid it will embarrass the governor. This old man doesn't even care about the emperor's relatives, how can he care about us?"

    Another well-dressed family, Huang Ziwei, smiled and said: "Brother Cui, the King of Hades is easy to see, and the little devil is hard to deal with. That old guy Hong Zhong is cautious and cautious, and he is the most responsive. Let's directly present the post to him. Forgive him for not daring to brush it off."  Master Mou's face".

    Unexpectedly, Hong Zhong thought he knew the emperor's mind, so he accepted the post from Mou Bin, the town governor, and after pondering for a long time, he said to Cheng Wenyi, the left servant of the Ministry of punishment: "Go, tell the two Jinyi hundred households, and talk about this case."  It's important, the relevant criminals are not complete yet, so they can't be interrogated, please go back."

    Cheng Wenyi, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, said worriedly: "My lord, if the procrastination is too long to last forever, if Jin Yiwei wants to intervene when he is promoted to trial, what should we do?"

    Hong Zhong's treacherous and cunning grinned, and said: "At that time, the three judges will hold a joint trial, and the court will pay attention to it. Just ask Wei Shen to find an excuse to block them outside. How dare Mou Bin break into the courtroom by force?  No?"

    Hong Zhong, who has always been exquisite in his affairs, dared to challenge Jin Yiwei today, which surprised Cheng Wenyi. He said "yes" and quietly retreated out.

    Hong Zhong smiled and thought to himself: "I am not the opponent of Jin Yiwei as a yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but the three courts are interrogating the case together. Does Mou Bin dare to offend the three ministers at the same time? The trial of this case is clear. I am afraid that the inner minister will have to change  At that time, my prestige and status will be the same for a while, will Mu Bin still be so arrogant when he sees me?"

    In the room of Zhen Fusi Moubin, Zhang Xiu, the commander of the admiral, paced up and down the room with his hands behind his back. After a while, he snorted heavily and said, "It's really stupid. Building the imperial mausoleum is a rare opportunity. With this capital  Yang Ling can go one step further, why did he get involved in such a big case? I just rushed back to the capital, and I don't know the details yet, did the tomb really seep water?"

    Mou Bin smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it seeps or not.??The guards are in a group of four, guarding in front of the jail, and he himself will sit in the prison and never leave.

    As soon as Qian Ning left, Wei Shen came back. The four prison gates were guarded day and night by jailers. Jin Yiwei was all-pervasive, and it would be difficult to report the news. Qian Ning tried a few times and almost caused Wei Shen to  Suspicious, he had no choice but to report to Mu Bin according to Yang Ling's instructions.

    Afterwards, the Sansi Yamen suddenly held two interrogations, and Jinyiwei was indeed excluded. Seeing that Jinyiwei's power was challenged and excluded, even Zhang Xiu was very angry. At present, Jinyiwei's spies are everywhere, making rumors, slandering Li, the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and the Criminal Ministry.  At the same time, search for their handles.

    The three judges interrogated twice, and the four of them, Yang Ling, resigned. Even though the boss came forward to testify, he only said that he was angry and framed, which made the three judges helpless.  Reluctantly, Hong Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, had no choice but to write to Emperor Zhengde in the early court: "Report to the Emperor, I have ordered the Inspectorate and Dali Temple to try the case of water seepage in the Emperor's Mausoleum. The witnesses were confronted in court, but the four criminals insisted  That chief was guilty of a hypocrisy, was dazzled and misunderstood, and cunningly refused to admit it, so I asked the emperor to issue an order to allow the Ministry of Punishment to punish the four criminals."

    Although the preferential treatment of "not punishing a doctor" has long been destroyed by Zhu Chongba, a cowherd boy, except for Jin Yiwei's prison, he has never heard that the Ministry of Punishment can also torture officials to extract confessions.  As soon as this example was opened, the Ministry of Punishment was in charge of the power of life and death, and it was about to become the second Jinyiwei. All the officials couldn't help but look sideways when they heard the words.

    University scholar Liu Jian immediately went out to play and said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. Whether the four criminals are really guilty or not, there is only one witness at present, and there is no physical evidence to prove it. I heard that the elder was killed for some reason.  Dai Yi, the imperial envoy who oversees the whipping, has been chasing rumors since ancient times, and because of a little personal grievance, there are also some unscrupulous people who have the audacity to frame the ministers of the court, if they are tortured under heavy punishment, wouldn't they be wronged?"

    Xu Guan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Jinyi's army has the power to execute the sentence on behalf of the emperor, but because this matter involves the Supervisor of Rituals, in order to avoid suspicion, the emperor handed over the criminals to the third division for interrogation. Those criminals knew  Damage to the dragon veins and the fate of the country will lead to a very serious fate. People who want to die are naturally cunning and stubborn. They will not confess without severe punishment. The so-called urgent matter, please allow your majesty."

    Xie Qian went out of the class and said: "I don't talk about strange powers and gods. It is my destiny to win the world. If a feng shui can win the world and lose the world, wouldn't it be unfair to gain and absurd to lose? Saints have always regarded feng shui as a demon.  Delusion, after the "Li Guang case" in the past, the first emperor expelled thousands of Taoist priests, monks and sorcerers, thinking that their demonic words would confuse the crowd, how can your majesty punish ministers for one person's words?"

    Orthodox Confucian disciples have never believed in Feng Shui. They believe that those who attain the Tao will win the world, and those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. They believe that the key to fortune and misfortune lies in the cultivation of one's inner heart.  Changing fate, so most of the military officials in North Korea and Chinese are opposed to Feng Shui.

    However, when the emperor died, he searched for a good burial place, and found a Feng Shui master to visit him, which had nothing to do with government affairs, so they always turned a blind eye to it, but now that the Ministry of Punishment wants to use excuses to exercise power, the three academicians are a little dissatisfied.

    Moreover, rumors have spread among the people, saying that because the late emperor moved to the mausoleum, the imperial court will impose heavy taxes, and many people are panicked.  If you are not in charge of a family, you don¡¯t know how much firewood and rice are expensive. Although the three academicians are running the government, although the money and grain are not stretched, they also know that they can¡¯t afford such extravagance. Besides, there are signs of civil uprising in several disaster-stricken places in Ming Dynasty.  Add fuel to the fire, so the three bachelors, who have always advanced and retreated together, agreed that the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites made a fuss out of a molehill, and it was someone else's intention, so they made up their minds to oppose it.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
