    It was very quiet in the main hall, you could hear a pin drop. Some people looked at Emperor Tianqi, and some looked at Duke Wei who was kneeling on the ground.  The expressions on everyone's faces were very complicated. Some showed a flash of joy, while others showed a look of pity. Most of them just ignored the matter and kept it high.  Regarding the crimes mentioned by Wei Guogong, there is only one crime, and that is dereliction of duty!  To put it more seriously, it is a vegetarian meal in the corpse position.  As the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Military Governor's Office in Nanjing, I cannot shirk the responsibility for such a big thing happening in Nanjing.  However, over the years, the power of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies has been greatly weakened, and he has become a general who only leads troops.  It is the Ministry of War that mobilizes troops. The Governor's Office of the Fifth Army does not have this power, so the dereliction of duty is actually not that serious.  However, none of the ministers stood up, no one stepped on them, and no one interceded. They were all waiting for Emperor Tianqi's attitude.  Such a lenient crime all depends on the attitude of Emperor Tianqi.  News has come out that Emperor Tianqi only fined Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, one year's salary.  Many people were dissatisfied, but no one wanted to get too involved in Jin Yiwei's rewards and punishments.  "Wei Guogong, get up and speak!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong expressionlessly and said softly.  When Wei Guogong stood up, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Wei Guogong's lineage is a noble family of the country. He has guarded Nanjing for generations, which can be said to have made great contributions to the country. Although Wei Guogong has neglected his duty in this matter, his crime is not that serious.  "I just heard what Emperor Tianqi said.  Everyone thought that Wei Guogong would definitely punish him severely this time, but they didn't expect that he would be held high.  It fell down gently.  A year's fine is actually the same as no punishment at all.  "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will do my best and never let down the Emperor's trust!" As he spoke, he knelt down on the ground again, his body trembling with excitement.  After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "My dear, you don't have to be like this. I don't trust the people I employ, and I don't trust the people I don't use." Wei Guogong stood aside.  There was still a touched look on his face, but his heart was filled with despair.  Thinking about what Mu Tianbo said to him, he felt mixed emotions in his heart.  His eyes swept over the minister's face, and Emperor Tianqi said seriously: "My dear friends, do you have something to say?" After waiting for a moment, when no one spoke, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Then withdraw from the court!  "After speaking, he stood up.  Went out to the back.  When Emperor Tianqi returned to the back, an old man was already waiting there, kneeling on the ground with his body hunched.  Chen Ling stood beside the old man with a complicated expression, trying to persuade the old man to get up.  But no matter what he said, the old man still knelt there.  Striding into the palace, Emperor Tianqi glanced at the old man kneeling on the ground, sighed, and walked to the dragon throne.  He waved his hand to Chen Hong beside him.  He said: "Hel Fang Aiqing up and move a stool for Mr. Fang." "Your Majesty, let the guilty minister kneel down! The guilty minister has no face to see the emperor, let alone act in front of the emperor. I am ashamed of my trust in the emperor!  "Fang Congzhe cried loudly, which can be described as heartbreaking.  Emperor Tianqi looked at Fang Congzhe and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although this old man also fought for power and profit, he still had loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.  Now she is burdened by her children and grandchildren, which may be even more sad than a white-haired person giving away a black-haired person.  Seeing that Emperor Tianqi did not speak, Chen Hong and Chen Ling helped Fang Congzhe up, placed him on a chair, and then stepped aside respectfully.  "My dear, don't blame yourself too much. I understand everything that happened. These things are not your fault. I am not a foolish king. My dear, you don't have to worry too much." Emperor Tianqi didn't know how to comfort this person.  The injured old man could only say these words of comfort.  Emperor Tianqi could still understand the hurt his son had caused in his heart.  "The sinful minister is really guilty of the most serious crime. It is the father's fault that he failed to raise him well. The guilty minister failed to make a good son, and he really deserves the trust of the emperor!" Fang Congzhe's body suddenly trembled sharply, and he slowly raised his head and looked at Tianqi.  The emperor said with a distorted face: "Your Majesty, I don't have the face to stay in this world. I just ask that when the emperor catches Fang Shihong, someone will go to my grave to tell me." Fang Congzhe tremblingly got down from the chair and said respectfully  Kneel on the ground and never move again.  Chen Hong, who was on the side, quickly walked over, reached out and touched the carotid artery, shook his head at Emperor Tianqi, and said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, he's dead!" He raised Fang Congzhe's head again and saw green and black blood.  With a look on his face, he said: "It's poisoning!" He waved his hand to Chen Ling on the side, and Emperor Tianqi ordered: "Let's get off the stage! As the old minister who became an official was buried, let him give him a better posthumous title." "Yes.  "Your Majesty!" Chen Ling said respectfully.After a salute, he hurriedly called for people to carry Fang Congzhe out.  Slowly turning around, Emperor Tianqi walked to the dragon chair and leaned on the chair.  Slowly closing his eyes, he weakly said to Chen Hong on the side: "What do you think Fang Congzhe is doing for? He can run away, he can commit suicide at home, why do you want to commit suicide in front of me? Why do you want me to watch him die?"  " Chen Hong stood aside, looking very hesitant, but he still said: "I am stupid, I really can't think of it. " He suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Hong. Emperor Tianqi picked up the tea bowl on the table and threw it away.  He walked out and said loudly: "He is really threatening me and asking me to show mercy. He has no shame to say pleas and tells me in this way not to start killing. He is begging me, begging me to let those people go!"  Kneeling on the ground, Chen Hong persuaded: "Your Majesty, this country belongs to the Emperor, and those people are all treasonous and immoral people. How to deal with it has been stipulated in the Ming Law for a long time, so the Emperor does not have to worry. Take care of the dragon body in everything, and the Emperor will take care of the dragon.  Body!" He kowtows like pounding garlic.  Sitting weakly on the chair, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Chen Hong, do you say that I am a tyrant? Will there be a name of tyrant left in history?" "The emperor is a wise king in the prosperous times. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been  It is becoming more and more prosperous. The treasury is abundant and the border is victorious. It can be seen that the emperor has killed some people, but those people are responsible for themselves. The emperor does not need to take these words to heart.  Emperor Tianqi was under too much pressure, so it wouldn't be a bad thing to vent.  He waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I know that my reputation after my death is destined to not be very good. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also leave a reputation for being militaristic? Is Tang Taizong's reputation good? But I don't care, that emperor who spread his family into his own family  , he was called the Emperor with a shaved head. There were countless rumors, but I admire him very much. He laid a foundation." Chen Hong stood up slowly and looked at the back of Emperor Tianqi as he walked out. Chen Hong suddenly felt that Emperor Tianqi was very powerful.  It's loneliness.  No one can understand what the emperor is thinking, and no one knows what Emperor Tianqi's inner world is like.  Forgiving loyal ministers and killing sycophants, what was Emperor Tianqi thinking in his heart?  Chen Hong didn't know that he had served Emperor Tianqi for so long. He believed that no one in the world knew.  Thinking about what Emperor Tianqi just said, Chen Hong couldn't remember. Who was the emperor the emperor was talking about?  It seems that I have never heard of the emperor who shaved his head!  What is sharing an acre?  I have never heard of it!  It seemed to be a policy. Since he couldn't understand it, Chen Hong shook his head and shook the idea out of his mind.  He strode towards Emperor Tianqi and chased him. He was the emperor's slave.  In Nanjing City, in a large house, Fang Shihong was sitting in the basement.  He looked at the tea cup on the table expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.  "Master, Nanjing is still under lockdown, but there is news that the young master and his wife have already boarded the ship. When Nanjing opens, the master can leave by ship." As Fang Shihong's very loyal butler, Fang Fu  Seeing Fang Shihong like this, he opened his mouth to persuade.  Shaking his head gently, Fang Shihong sighed, raised his head and said, "Is there any news about the old man?" Looking at Fang Shihong's bloodshot eyes, Fang Fu was suddenly stunned.  I originally thought that my young master didn't care about the old man, but I didn't expect that he would be like this sometimes.  At this time, Fang Shihong's eyes were not bloodshot, and his expression was full of dejection. He looked as if he was ten years older.  "Is there any news about the old man?" Seeing that Fang Fu didn't speak, Fang Shihong stared at him closely, his body began to tremble, and tears slowly flowed from his eyes.  "Master, I am no longer here! I just received news from outside that I went to the palace to see the emperor and committed suicide in the palace. We have no way of knowing what the master and the emperor said, but the emperor ordered that he be buried with honors. The specifications of the funeral  In accordance with the standards for a bachelor who becomes an official, he was given the title of Taibao and was given the posthumous title of Wenzhong." Fang Fu looked at Fang Congzhe and said with a sad expression.  Slowly kneeling on the ground, Fang Shihong burst into tears and said loudly: "Dad, my son has harmed you! Why are you bothering? I didn't go with my son that day, and the child didn't force me. I don't want you to be stigmatized, as long as you  If you don't want to die, the emperor won't kill you. I'm sorry for you, son, your posthumous title shouldn't be Wenzhong! I'm sorry for you!" As he said this, Fang Shihong kowtowed to the ground, and there was blood all over the ground and forehead.  The blood didn't stop either.  Fang Fu hurriedly pulled Fang Shihong up. He was afraid that Fang Shihong would hit him to death, so he comforted him: "Master, it doesn't have to be like this. The master passed away peacefully. The master didn't have to be like this!" He really didn't know what to say, but Fang Fu knew very well in his heart.  , Fang Congzhe's death was really caused by these unfilial descendants.  "I don't want to stay here. I want to guard my father's grave. I want to go to my father's grave."Grave!  "As he said this, Fang Shihong ran out like crazy.
