Chapter 529
"It's really hateful after the crime. What's the connection between the 20-year-old case and our Lord?" Pang Yi immediately became angry, patting the table and staring at it. "The Lord only dealt with the thirty-eight ministers according to the will of the Lord. What can I do? If they want to avenge their father and brother, they should also go to the capital! How can it be counted on my head? It's really disgusting! "
The 20-year-old case happened on the new year's eve of Jiasheng's 20th year. In that year, Zhao Changrong, then Minister of the Ministry of public affairs, was in court. Ten officials of the court conspired to welcome the king of Pingxi to Beijing to force the palace to revolt. Under the wrath of the Lord, Zhao Changrong was sent to investigate the case. Within ten days, 38 officials, large and small, were involved. The LORD was so angry that he could not lie ill From then on, Zhong Mingwei, the prince who had just entered the eastern palace, naturally wanted to lead the Dynasty on behalf of long live. Naturally, the case also fell on Zhong Mingwei's head. After March, 18 officials involved in the case were executed, and another 20 officials were demoted to base people, and the whole family was exiled to ningguta for hard labor. Because they were born in the early 20th year of Jiasheng, they were called the major cases of 20 years.
"Pang Yi," Zhong Mingwei frowned at Pang Yi, implying him not to talk any more. Zhong Mingwei took a sip of tea, paused, and then said in a deep voice, "although it's the father's meaning, it's my own will. I knew that the thirty-eight officials were wronged, but I didn't dare to disobey the father's will. I was still in charge It is also reasonable for them to come to me for revenge after ordering them to be dealt with. "
Pang Yideng was in a hurry: "Your Highness, how can I blame you? As the prince of the East Palace, you were both the prince and the minister. You are the model of loyalty and filial piety of the people. You can't disobey the Lord. In the end, this is the hand of the Lord... "
"Pang Yi!" Zhong Mingwei frowned even more severely. He threw the tea bowl on the table and said in a cold voice, "I think you have been living and dying in the south of Xinjiang for more than ten years. You are used to life and death. You should be the most disgusted sophist who moves his tongue."
"Yes, I know my fault." Pang Yi is so busy that he gets up and bows deeply to Zhong Mingwei. When Zhong Mingwei says that, he inevitably feels guilty. But he is also upset by Zhong Mingwei. How can he move his words? How is it sophistry? Every word he said is true, but he dare not say any more. The 20-year-old case has always been a barrier in zhongmingwei's heart. For so many years, zhongmingwei has never mentioned it. He only said that zhongmingwei has put it down, but he did not think that this big case still lies in zhongmingwei's heart.
Kong Wenmin was also surprised. Although he had guessed the history of the 20-year-old case in the early morning, he was still shocked when he looked at Zhong Mingwei's response. He didn't know Zhong Mingwei very well. He didn't really know, and didn't want to know, whether he was a prince with thousands of precious people or a common man who was struggling to walk now. He really didn't know, and didn't want to know, whether this Phoenix and dragon grandson was alive or dead What does honor have to do with him?
But at this moment, he suddenly felt ashamed of his past self. Although he could not explain the reason for the shame for a while, he was very ashamed.
"Bodyguard Kong, what are you going to do with those guilty ministers who hide their weapons?" Zhong Mingwei looks at Kong Wenmin.
"Lord Fang has ordered twelve prisoners to be put into prison. It was meant to be heard by heaven. But this morning, there was a secret letter from the capital," said Kong Wenmin, taking the secret letter out of his arms and sending it to Zhong Mingwei. "Sir, please have a look."
Zhong Mingwei looked at Kong Wenmin, then received the letter from him, opened it and looked at it. His brow immediately wrinkled: "King Pingxi wants to return to Beijing?"
"Exactly, seeing the 70th birthday of the Empress Dowager is coming, King Pingxi suddenly wants to go back to Beijing this year to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday," said Kong Wenmin, also frowning. "But king Pingxi is going back to Beijing. If he mentions the 20-year-old case again at this time, he may not be in time, so Lord Fang plans to put it down, so his subordinates will come to talk with you In the Ming Dynasty, Lord Fang and the royal forest army didn't mean to protect the criminals, but it was inconvenient to deal with them for a while. I hope you will forgive me. "
