The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1665

[1665. Chapter 1583 Death is inevitable]

Liu Huiwen was heartbroken.

As soon as he said this, the whole hall fell silent for an instant.

To a certain extent, Liu Huiwen’s words can resonate with them.

Of the people standing here, which one did not claim to be a disciple of a saint at the beginning, and which one of them did not learn the unique skills of that saint?

It’s just that… the vast majority of people just use it as a stepping stone, and some people know how to work around it. Listening to it now, although they feel it in their hearts, they seem to feel that Liu Huiwen is wrong.

Some people agree with Liu Huiwen’s words, but… Liu Huiwen dares to speak out, but they just keep these thoughts in their stomachs.

Three feet of ice did not freeze in a day. Confucianism has gone through hundreds of years since Cheng Zhu. How can such a strong inertia and those values be completely established in just ten years of new learning?

As a result, there was only silence in the hall, and many people could not help but sigh in their hearts.

Emperor Hongzhi was as cold as frost. Now that he heard these words, he only felt disgusted.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: “So, are you really plotting to assassinate Fang Qing’s family?”

After Liu Huiwen said this, he coughed desperately, then raised his face and said solemnly: “Yes.”

Emperor Hongzhi said

At this time, he glanced at Wang Shouren out of the corner of his eye.

What is this Fang Jifan’s disciple that he doesn’t know how to do?

Emperor Hongzhi immediately sneered: “Do you know the crime?”

“I don’t know.” Liu Huiwen replied without hesitation, and then said seriously: “I have been studying Confucian classics since childhood. I spent twenty years in poverty. I was favored by all the previous emperors and was able to serve as an official in the court. After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, I dare not say that I have meritorious service, but I have no fault. When the late emperor passed away, he issued an edict saying that your majesty will inherit the great power and inherit the legacy of the ancestors. If your majesty is wise, your ministers will assist you. , all the ministers should remonstrate with you. Your Majesty has abolished many bad policies since then, and has dismissed many sycophants. Everyone in the temple was happy, so the old ministers followed the late emperor’s words and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Now… Now Your Majesty treats deer like a horse, and obeys Fang Jifan, who does not distinguish between right and wrong. Your Majesty… I dare to ask, the remonstrances I have submitted over the past ten years, out of 70, these seventy-six memorials, Your Majesty Have you ever seen it? After your Majesty saw it, was it touched? If Your Majesty was touched, why did you stay silent?”

Liu Huiwen cried loudly: “Your Majesty, all dynasties have been treacherous and traitorous. Your Majesty shields this thief, and even has the idea of changing the ancestral law and abolishing the eight-legged rule. How can this make the people of the world feel embarrassed? How can your Majesty see the

righteousness of his words if Taizu Emperor Gao is here?

, high-sounding.

All the officials bowed their heads and said nothing.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and thought, there must be many people here who agree with Liu Huiwen.

Emperor Hongzhi said: “If I see Emperor Taizu Gao, I will feel guilty. The original intention of our ancestors is to stabilize the country. Now my country is as solid as gold. Emperor Taizu Gao will definitely praise it as good when he sees it.”

In Liu Huiwen’s eyes, He suddenly became desperate, gritted his teeth, and then said: “It’s natural to take this.”

Emperor Hongzhi shouted sternly: “Bold! What you have committed is a heinous crime!”

“If you follow it through to the end, it is a serious crime, then I am It’s just a man who is about to die, but his words are good, and I am not happy about it today.”

Liu Huiwen, who seems to have a kind face, is stronger than anyone else.

Fang Jifan was standing by, thinking to himself that this was understandable. After all…who dared to do such a thing, he was probably already prepared to die without a burial place.

This man is not afraid of death.

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: “Take it!”

With the order, the imperial guards like tigers and wolves rushed in.

Liu Huiwen’s eyes were filled with despair.

He seemed to understand in his heart that the Ming Dynasty, the right path he hoped for, would never be on the right track again.

He didn’t resist and let the guards hold him, laughing loudly.

………

The hall fell silent.

Emperor Hongzhi’s chest heaved, as if he was still furious, and his face was extremely livid.

Liu Huiwen thought he was wrong, and Liu Huiwen was using his own life to remind him.

But… Emperor Hongzhi knew that he was right.

The more convinced he was, the angrier he became that Liu Huiwen dared to assassinate his son-in-law, and even more angrily at Liu Huiwen’s intentions.

This person… I’m afraid he just hopes for this ending.

Only in this way can he leave his name in history and become a role model for all generations.

He compared himself to a martyr, so…what about me?

He did Bi Gan, and I became King Zhou of Shang.

What kind of loyal minister is this? He talks about king, king, minister, father, father and son, but it is just for the sake of his own reputation, and he pushes his own king and father to the level of heinous crimes.

Emperor Hongzhi felt cold in his heart, his eyes were like daggers, and he said calmly: “My lords, Liu Huiwen has evil intentions. How should we deal with this unpardonable crime?”

All the officials were silent, and many of them looked ashamed.

In their values, Liu Huiwen’s behavior just now, even if there is something wrong with his behavior, can still be regarded as a loyal minister and righteous man.

If he adds insult to injury at this time, he may be underestimated in a hundred years.

People…are all about face.

Even Liu Jian remained silent.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Baiguan’s face, pursed his lips, and seemed to understand Baiguan’s attitude.

Xiao Jing, who was standing aside, said: “Your Majesty, such rebellious ministers and traitors will be punished by the three tribes.”

Emperor Hongzhi glanced sideways at Xiao Jing and felt relieved.

Xiao Jing can be said to have given him a step up at a critical moment.

To a certain extent, he could understand the difficulties of the late emperors.

Although the officials are the rulers and ministers of the day, they all have their own small thoughts. They may seek fame after death, or they may want to make profits. They do not need to blindly adhere to the imperial power. Therefore, everything has their own thoughts.

But these eunuchs around him were inseparable from the emperor, and even all honor and disgrace were pinned on the emperor, so all their exquisite thoughts were spent on guessing the Sacred Heart.

Such people can be called villains, but… can the emperor live without these villains?

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: “Then… according to what Xiao Banban said, he will be jailed and punished, and he will be ordered to confess his party members and barbarize the three tribes.”

The officials remained silent.

They didn’t add insult to injury.

However, they did not defend Liu Huiwen, because they knew very well that if they made a mistake, they made a mistake, and this was a serious crime of treason, and there was no possibility of accommodation.

“Your Majesty!”

But at this moment, someone said.

Emperor Hongzhi looked towards the source of the sound.

But Fang Jifan stood up.

After meeting Fang Jifan, Emperor Hongzhi’s cold heart softened a little: “What’s the matter?”

“I think the punishment for Liu Huiwen is too severe.”

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned.

All the officials were immediately in an uproar and looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said: “Liu Huiwen is certainly guilty of ten thousand deaths, but if he punishes three of his clans, what crime will his clansmen have? Your Majesty must not kill indiscriminately, not to mention that my son is still alive, isn’t he? Therefore, I suggest that we ask the three When the court examines this case, it will be whatever crime it is. If it is not the case, innocent people will inevitably be killed indiscriminately. “

Furthermore, what Mr. Liu just said touched my heart. Although it is the abolition of stereotyped writing, it is inevitable .”

It must be done, but after all, this is the ancestral system, and it is the established law established by Emperor Taizu Gao. However, this eight-legged approach to recruiting scholars is already full of ills. Your Majesty must change it. But Mr. Liu dares to put forward such a piece of advice. I admire him very much. So I hope your majesty can treat him leniently.”

“Buzz buzz…”

The whole hall was in an uproar, and everyone began to whisper.

This is absolutely unscientific.

Although few officials believe in science.

His Fang Jifan has always had a right to retaliate, and no one who offended him had a good end. How could his Fang Jifan have such a good intention?

And this Liu Huiwen actually dared to assassinate Fang Jifan. Fang Jifan would only wish to destroy him. Even the ten clans would find it difficult to explain their hatred. How could he intercede for Liu Huiwen?

If something is abnormal, it is a monster.

Emperor Hongzhi was also surprised, but when he saw Fang Jifan’s sincere look, he was actually speechless.

I stood up for you, but you are actually doing something that hurts your loved ones and makes your enemies happy?

Emperor Hongzhi’s face turned cold and he said: “I have made up my mind.”

“Your Majesty…”

Just when everyone thought that maybe Fang Jifan was just being polite, they saw Fang Jifan… There was a sad look on his face: “Your Majesty, I believe that everything must be reasonable and not acted out of emotion. I know that Your Majesty is doing this because you love and care for me. But what Liu Huiwen just said really touches people’s hearts. If he is punished so severely, All the subjects in the world will be in fear if they are in danger. Your Majesty… would you like to take a step to speak?”

Fang Jifan then winked at Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi: “…”

Many times, Emperor Hongzhi was helpless against Fang Jifan.

If you get angry, he will start talking about His Majesty’s wisdom and your Majesty’s greatness. He can reach out and not hit the smiling person. If you don’t get angry anymore, he will start acting like a naughty kid.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard that he was about to take a step to speak, he was full of doubts. He seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, but he couldn’t help but said: “I just want to take a break and have a drink of tea.”

Fang Jifan and Emperor Hongzhi exchanged a look, After that, they went to the penthouse one after another.

What was left behind was a group of confused officials and ministers.

People were shocked and seemed unable to accept Liu Huiwen as the real murderer, let alone Fang Jifan’s betrayal.

Which of these people is not a human being or the smartest person in Ming Dynasty?

Their perspective on things is never simple.

Therefore, in their opinion…there is another sinister plot on this side’s successor.

Only a moment later, Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan left and returned.

When everyone was stunned, Emperor Hongzhi said: “I just had a cup of tea, and the anger in my heart has disappeared a lot. Now that I think about it carefully, I feel that Liu Huiwen is not guilty of such a crime, so let’s follow the instructions The Qing family said that after the three-level investigation proves Liu Huiwen’s crime, he will be punished according to law! “

What?

All the officials were confused.
