These military officials for Zhao Dajing flag waving is just, from their own a door from the target themselves everywhere, grabbed himself a burst of insulting exposition, once or twice is just, time and time again is like this, really take me as a dough ah, by you randomly kneaded!
People respect me a foot, I respect people a ten feet, people destroy me a corn, I take away people three bucket!
I have long seen that you are not happy, but still eager to jump out, then don’t blame me for not being polite. Zhu Pingan stared at the several military officials with a burning gaze, and only finished when he had looked at them like an ostrich and lowered his head down.
“Ignorant people are not guilty. Zhu Pingan, don’t be too aggressive.”
One of the officials from the Yan Party in the gallery, although he looked down on those vulgar military officials, he couldn’t see Zhu Pingan being so arrogant even more, and got up to heckle Zhu Pingan.
“They military officials were not aware of the Yongle Canon before I informed them that it was excusable, it is the ignorance that makes you innocent, what about you, my lord? They have no respect in their eyes and I stopped them. Your Excellency, you say that I am aggressive, so that means I should not have stopped them, that is to say, I should not have defended the majesty of the Yongle Grand Canon?”
“I wonder what your intentions are, my lord?”
Without hesitation, Zhu Pingan sneered back, his eyes burning as he stared at this member of the Yan Party who had risen in response.
“You?”
This person did not expect Zhu Pingan to buckle this great disrespectful hat on his head again, his chest rose and fell violently, obviously choked by Zhu Pingan’s words.
The military officials do not know the “Yongle Grand Canon” excusable, but their own, they are the Honglu Temple of the fifth grade officer, responsible for the feast and other duties, if you do not know the “Yongle Grand Canon”, then it is a corpse; but if you know the “Yongle Grand Canon”, in the Zhu Pingan to stop the military officials desecration of the “Yongle Grand Canon”, he then came out to stop the words of Zhu Pingan, will indeed be interpreted out of the meaning of other people.
This is now in a dilemma.
Of course, certainly not as serious as Zhu Pingan said, it is considered unintentional, but when it comes to the majesty of the royal family, this problem is a bit big.
After this matter.
Other people are jealous, no one dares to arbitrarily stop Zhu Pingan.
This time is the flourishing Ming Dynasty, not the modern era where copies are mutilated and the original has disappeared, in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs there is also a copy of the Yongle Canon, and soon there is a Ministry of Criminal Affairs official who will take this volume of the Yongle Canon that Zhu Pingan said, and hand it over to the presiding judge’s chair for verification.
At this point, everyone looked towards the main trial seat.
The sceptical ones were in the majority.
They had good reasons to be sceptical, knowing that there were more than 10,000 volumes of the Yongle Dictionary, a brilliant masterpiece that would not be found for 10,000 years, with more than 300 million words, how could they possibly remember it. Moreover, the symbolism of the Yongle Dictionary is a bit stronger, in addition to the original responsible for the preparation, as well as in recent years for the canonical collection of books and transcription of people, there are not many people will read the Yongle Dictionary.
Zhao Dajing and the others stretched their necks, both nervous and expectant as they watched the presiding judges check the canon on the presiding bench, hoping to confirm that it was Zhu Pingan’s Hu Meng.
Soon the main judge’s bench finished checking.
Minister of the Ministry of Justice Wang Xueyi looked incredulously at the volume of the Yongle Canon on the table, it was clearly written in black and white, exactly as Zhu Pingan had said, so there was no way for him not to believe it.
“This ……”
Wang Xueyi looked at Zhu Pingan with a constipated face, he didn’t expect the records in the Yongle Dictionary to be exactly the same as what Zhu Pingan said, which made Wang Xueyi unable to accept it for a while.
“These six heads are indeed doubtful, but compared to the fifty-nine heads, these six heads are too low in weight to even be counted as tails. These six green heads are most likely borderers who were taken hostage by the Tartars to join the army, or they may be people who have defected to the Tartars for money and wealth to pander to the Hu. Such people are not worthy of death.”
Zhang Gu, the right minister of the Ministry of War, had always been quick-witted, which was also the reason why he had risen to prominence in the Yan Party, and at this moment, when he saw that Zhu Pingan had confirmed that the six heads were not Tartars, Zhao Dajing and the others were dumbfounded, and even Wang Xueyi, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, who had presided over the presentation of the case was a bit caught off guard, and it was the right time for him to show that he was a credit-worthy person, and so, when Wang Xueyi was at a loss for words, he stood out.
Zhang Gu did not live up to his reputation of being quick-witted and found a response in the first place. Zhu Pingan borrowed the records of the Yongle Canon and confirmed that the six heads were not Tartars. Zhang Gu did not bother to deny Zhu Pingan’s confirmation, but rather extended further on the basis of Zhu Pingan’s confirmation.
You, Zhu Pingan, confirmed that they were not Tartars, it doesn’t matter, they were not Tartars, but they were probably border people who were swept up by the Tartars to attack my Daming, or they were treacherous people who took the initiative to defect to the Tartars and sold out the interests of my Daming.
In short, although they are not Tartars, they deserve to die.
This explanation, can be explained, and logically speaking there is no problem. Moreover, since the original owners of these heads were already dead, there was no evidence to check, and no one could deny whether Zhang Gu was right or not.
Colour!
Gao ah, Lord Zhang!
Zhao Dajing and the others had originally been so overwhelmed by Zhu Pingan’s hand that they did not know how to deal with it. At this moment, after hearing the words of Zhang Gu, the Right Minister of the Ministry of War, they were so excited that they could not help but applaud Zhang Gu’s defence in their hearts.
It is really worthy of being a sharp-witted Zhang, to be able to come up with such a set of no-fail rhetoric in such a short time, it is really excellent.
After this plea, I have to make up a thick gift for Lord Zhang, Zhao Dajing looked at Zhang Gu gratefully, thinking that when he went back, he would send the genuine painting left by Su Dongpo, which was passed down from his ancestors, to Zhang’s residence, and he thought that Lord Zhang would surely be satisfied with it.
“Yes, Lord Zhang is right, these heads may not be Tartars, but they are certainly scum of Mei Hu. Truly the scum who sell their ancestors for honour, even the old ancestors are not recognised anymore, they still went to learn the Tartar shaving their hair and beard, and as a result, they also learnt the four unimaginables, this kind of person’s death is not enough to be spared.”
Wang Xueyi also reacted at this time, and then summarised again after Zhang Gu finished.
Not too stupid.
Yan Shifan in the gallery swept a glance at the main judge’s seat and slightly pulled the corner of his mouth.
“It’s too normal for there to be six scum who pander to the Hu among the fifty-nine heads. Fifty-three Tartars holding six borderers hostage is nothing unusual.”
“Right, it’s still Lord Zhang and Lord Wang who are well versed in border affairs, there are quite a few of these scum who sell their ancestors at the border, and the original owners of these heads must be one of them.”
“Back then, I also encountered that some border people, in order to covet the Tartar’s bounty, even joined the Tartars in attacking the guards, even more active than those Tartar dogs!”
The military officials who were already absent, at this moment began to be active again, echoing Zhang Gu and Wang Xueyi, once again showing solidarity with Zhao Dajing.
“Hehe, what Lord Zhang and Lord Wang said is true, it’s reasonable to say that there are six scum who pander to the Hu among the fifty-nine Tartars.”
Zhu Pingan swept a glance at the crowd with a wry smile and dropped his gaze on the main judge’s seat, pausing to hook the corners of his mouth as he continued, “But what if none of these fifty-nine people are Tartars?”
Ah?
What? These fifty-nine heads are not Tartars?
The crowd was stunned.
