Chapter 634 Trial (2)
After Qian Ren took out the map of the hells of the towns and villages in the sea, the case of Yan Yi's murder was basically a foregone conclusion.
Both Gao Ming and Tang Duo, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, believed that Yan Yi was bound to die, but it was up to him to decide what kind of crime to accuse him of.
Originally, the two wanted to weaken Japan's sense of existence, and they only used impersonation and private distribution of spoils as the main crimes.
But now that Emperor Mikihito has created a hell map, the two of them have to find a way to take care of Japan's face even if they don't want to.
"No one objected this time, right?"
Gao Ming asked symbolically, not expecting anyone to speak.However, what he didn't expect was that Li Jian, who was extremely active today, jumped out again.
"Old Gaoge, I have something to say!"
"you?"
"Okay, if you have anything to say, hurry up, we have to discuss other political matters after we finish."
Li Jian cleared his throat.
"In the early years, Weichen followed General Lanyu to go out to war. When he passed by a Beiyuan tribe, the Beiyuan people in the tribe also welcomed the master with songs and dances, which made General Lan very happy. Not only did he not plunder, but Before leaving, leave a large amount of salt and food as a gift to them."
"However, just two days after the army left, the army behind said that a group of bandits had attacked the grain transport team."
"General Lan sent people to encircle the bandits, and found out that the bandits were people from the Beiyuan tribe in disguise."
"General Lan interrogated those people afterwards, and those people confessed that they felt that General Lan was easy to bully and was not as harsh as other generals..."
When Li Jian said this, he deliberately paused.
"My lords, sometimes you have to pay the price in blood if you want to watch the enemy's singing and dancing."
"I think General Yan Yi also killed him because he had a similar experience of being attacked."
"Although General Yan Yi is a capital offense, he saved the lives of our Ming soldiers after all!"
"The humble officer specially checked the battle reports of General Yan Yi. In 34 battles, large and small, a total of 6000 enemies were wiped out. Excluding the number of people who slaughtered the village, there were more than 2 Japanese pirates who were actually killed."
"General Yan has achieved such great results, only a dozen or so soldiers were lost on Daming's side!"
"Such a general may be a sinner to the court, but to the soldiers serving under General Yan, he is a rare good general."
"Because General Yan led them alive to win one victory after another!"
As soon as Li Jian's words came out, the officials who had just shouted and killed fell silent again.
Tang Duo glanced at Li Jian in surprise. He used to think that this guy was just a rough guy, but today he unexpectedly discovered that he had something special.
At least in terms of eloquence is quite amazing!
Let's see if there is an opportunity to transfer this person to the Ministry of War as a servant.
With a guy like this here, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs will have an advantage when it comes to competing for military expenses!
Gao Ming heard Li Jian's sophistry, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Although he knew that this guy was talking nonsense and made excuses for Mr. Yan Yi, he still chose to believe what this guy said.
After all, for him, Daming's justice cannot be violated.
Even if Yan Yi deserved to die for the crime and did something that angered people, it still could not damage the sanctity and justice of Daming.
"Li Dudu's words also have some truth!"
"Although Yan Yi has the means to kill, he is really good in using soldiers and loving soldiers, and we can consider reducing his crimes as appropriate..."
"Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, how do you think it is better to convict?"
Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, thought about it.
"Beheading the prison guard is too light, why don't you write to His Majesty, suggesting that His Majesty give him a white silk, let him hang himself, and leave his whole body."
Gao Ming nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at the Minister of War.
"Master Tang, what do you think?"
Tang Duo nodded.
"This is the best way. It not only affirms his devotion to killing the enemy, but also preserves his dignity."
"Then let's vote now. Those who agree with Yan Yi Bailing vote for Red Beans, and those who disagree vote for Black Beans!"
As soon as Gao Ming said this, two eunuchs immediately held trays, and one of the eunuchs placed two plates in the tray, one with black beans and the other with red beans.
Another man was carrying an empty jar specially designed to hold the red and black beans that officials voted on.
The little eunuch walked through the crowd and returned to Gao Ming.Gao Ming took down the jar in full view, and poured all the beans in the jar into a transparent glass dish.
Gao Ming looked at the glowing red glass plate, smiled heartily and said.
"I won't be counting votes today, it's a rare unanimity to pass, hahaha!"
Everyone laughed after hearing the words.
"Who says it's not? It's really rare to see such a uniform vote in our cabinet meeting!"
"It can be seen from this that Yan Yi really deserved what he deserved. It's only because of His Majesty's kindness that he left his whole body!"
Seeing this result, Li Jian and others felt a burst of regret in their hearts.
But let them vote again, they will still choose red beans.
Because this kind of treatment is already the best result for Yan Yi.
Normally, the crimes he committed would at least involve loss of family property and implicating future generations.
Now not only did he leave a whole body for him, but he didn't mention his family property and descendants.
The people in Fengtian Hall were very satisfied with this result, even the picky old Zhu didn't make a sound behind the screen, obviously acquiescing to this arrangement.
Only Gan Ren was dissatisfied, but due to the unity of the Ming court, he could only bear it temporarily.
After the cabinet meeting was over, Qian Ren returned to the mansion and became more and more angry, so he asked his think tank for advice.
"Everyone, Daming is too deceitful. He doesn't care about Japan at all. This king really can't bear it!"
"Your Majesty, you must hold back, this matter is big or small, don't hurt our friendship with Daming because of this matter!"
"Amicable?"
"Da Ming detained me here, refused to let me go back to the country, and even privately sent Daming soldiers to slaughter my people, how can I bear it!"
"I have made a decision. I will go to beat the Dengwen drum tomorrow, and let the emperor of Ming Dynasty give me justice!"
"Your Majesty, I have a plan!"
"Oh?"
"Your Majesty, Ming Dynasty does not treat the people of the vassal state as human beings, not only our country of Japan is chilled, but Korea, Vietnam, Java, Ryukyu and other countries are also very chilled!"
"Why don't we contact them and let them write a letter to the Ming court to force the Ming court to execute Yan Yi, that butcher?"
"In addition, the scholars of Ming Dynasty can also take advantage of it!"
"We can invite someone to contribute to the Ming newspaper, so that the scholars of Ming can seek justice for us!"
Qianren's eyes brightened the more he listened, and he said happily.
"The Minister of the Taizheng is worthy of being my brains, if you have any difficult questions, just ask you!"
"I have a special status, and I have to ask Taizheng to contact the scholars of Ming Dynasty. I need gold, silver and manpower. If Taizheng asks, I will do my best to help!"
After hearing the words, Mijo Sanjo hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you for His Majesty's trust, even if I am heartbroken, I still have to solve problems for Your Majesty!"
Sanjo Shidong bid farewell to the Empress Dowager, and immediately came to drink tea at the teahouse under the name of Sanwei Bookstore. When around [-]:[-]pm in the evening, the number of scholars in the teahouse began to increase in twos and threes.
This group of scholars just ordered a pot of tea, sat around eating and discussing the allusions and characters in the storybook, etc.
The hottest books in Beijing right now are The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Jin Ping Mei, and Dou Break Cangong.
For example, Dou Po's Legend of the Little Immortal Doctor, Dou Po's Legend of Xiao Xun'er, and so on.
Mijo Sanjo has read all these books. After all, for him, being with the emperor in Daming is like going to jail. If he doesn’t have some fun by himself, he will be driven crazy by the time in prison.
Therefore, no matter what topics these scholars were talking about, Mito Sanjo could join in and say a few words.
"I heard the little brothers just said about Xiao Xun'er?"
"Although there are only [-] copies of the Doupa story book, from the perspective of this old man, Xiao Xun'er's status is definitely good, and some ancient families may be involved..."
"Oh, the old man is really a bosom friend, and I think so too, and even wrote a special article to discuss this matter!"
"Oh?"
"May I have a look at the masterful work you have done?"
"of course can!"
A certain scumbag student at the Imperial Academy who was not doing his job happily handed Sanjo Mifuyu one of his essays. After reading it, Sanjou Mifuyu praised it against his will.
"It's so majestic, it's like floating three whites, hahaha!"
"The writing style of this article is clear and beautiful, and the arguments are novel, especially the analysis of Xiao Xun'er's life experience, which can be described as meticulous and thoughtful, even more attentive than the author of this book!"
The scumbag was so praised by Sanjo Mito that he almost couldn't find the north.
"Thank you for your compliment, sir!"
"If the old man is free, why not sit down and discuss with us!"
"Okay!"
"It's just that I've been having some troubles recently and want to find some well-known writers..."
"The writer..."
The so-called writer is a person who specially contributes articles to the newspaper.
With the prosperity of the newspaper industry in Ming Dynasty, the capital specially sent out a group of people who contributed articles to the newspaper.
Some of these people are court officials, some are students of Guozijian, and some are writing scripts for a living.
Because of the high quality of their manuscripts, they have a cooperative relationship with the newspaper.
Therefore, most of the manuscripts they submit will be adopted by the newspaper, and they will be paid a certain amount of embellishment.
It was this group of people that Santiao Shidong wanted to find, but he didn't dare to look for it rashly, for fear of being kicked out by the other party, so he could only be introduced by this group of scumbags from the Imperial College.
"I really know a few writers who specialize in contributing to the Nanjing News. They specialize in writing articles on political affairs and commentary on current affairs. I don't know if they can help you sir!"
When Mito Sanjo heard this, she clapped her hands happily.
"Okay!"
"I'm in need of such a great talent, please help me to recommend it, little brother!"
"This……"
"Don't worry, little brother, as long as you recommend me, no matter if it succeeds or not, this old man will not treat you badly!"
"Shop, please give us two pots of fine Longjing and some plates of fruit tea!"
"okay!"
During the time when he was a scumbag, the shop was full of pastries and delicacies.
Seeing this, the scumbag could only bite the bullet and respond.
"To be honest, I don't have a normal relationship with that person. I'm afraid he won't want to talk to me..."
"It's okay, little brother, just recommend it for me, I won't blame you for success or failure!"
Hearing what Mito Sanjo said, the student sat down to have some refreshments in peace.
After drinking and eating, Xue Zha brought Mijo Mito to a private house and knocked on the copper ring on the door.
Not long after, a servant came out from inside.
"Who is it, you still keep people from sleeping in the middle of the night..."
"It's me, Yang Xiaoshu, I've met your husband several times..."
"Yang Xiaoshu?"
"I don't know... I'll go ask my husband..."
"But my husband is working on a manuscript, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to see you..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoshu quickly took out a few grandson's coins from his sleeve and stuffed them into the boy's hand.
"This money is for Mr. Xiao to buy tea!"
The boy weighed the copper coins in his hand, touched them all and said happily.
"Don't worry, I will make sure my husband comes out to see you!"
"Sir... sir, there is a man named Yang Xiaoshu outside asking to see you!"
Luo Guanzhong, who was writing furiously, scolded without raising his head when he heard this.
"not see!"
"Ghost knows what Yang Xiaoshu and Yang Dashu are!"
"Sir, I see that there is a senior Japanese official next to Yang Xiaoshu. Aren't you going to write a book similar to the Tale of Genji recently?"
"It's just a matter of time to ask this high-ranking Japanese official!"
"Oh?"
Luo Guanzhong basically didn't write many books after the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was completed, and only occasionally wrote some political comments.
I recently got a copy of The Tale of Genji from a maritime merchant. After reading it, I thought it was very exciting. It enriched the genre of storybooks and pointed out a new direction for the genre.
Therefore, he has always wanted to write a Chinese court storybook based on The Tale of Genji.
Now that he heard that a high-ranking Japanese official was visiting, Luo Guanzhong immediately became interested.
"In that case, let's invite them to the study for a chat!"
"promise!"
The little servant ran out joyfully.
"My husband agrees to see you, you come with me..."
Several people followed the boy to the study. The boy served them hot tea and then left.
Not long after, Luo Guanzhong walked in wearing a Taoist robe, and waved his hands towards several people.
"I don't know what is the purpose of a few distinguished guests visiting at night?"
Yang Xiaoshu stood up immediately and said.
"Mr. Luo, my friend has something to ask you for!"
After hearing this, Mifuyu Sanjo stood up immediately and pushed forward the brocade box that he had prepared long ago.
"A small gift is not a respect, but I hope Mr. Luo will accept it with a smile!"
Luo Guanzhong curled his lips in disdain.
"What good things can a small island nation have?"
"If you can bring the original manuscript of the Tale of Genji to the old man to appreciate, the old man may still be a little interested!"
"The Tale of Genji?"
If it is someone else, it may not really have this thing.But who made him a close minister next to the emperor, a hereditary minister of the Taizheng?
"It's not that the original manuscript of the Tale of Genji can't be given to sir, but it's expensive, and it's far away from the Imperial Palace in Japan, so it will take a certain amount of time..."
"What, can you really get the original manuscript of the Tale of Genji?"
"Of course!"
"This object is treasured by successive emperors, and it is in the treasury of our emperor."
"It's just that my emperor has suffered great injustice recently, I implore sir to uphold justice for my emperor!"
"After the matter is completed, my emperor will definitely present the original manuscript to Mr. Luo for tasting!"
