Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The problem is, on top of this issue, the Ministry of Justice is also the first time a big girl gets on the sedan chair.

How to judge without experience?

It has been three or four years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, and Su Maoxiang thought he had figured out a little bit of Emperor Chongzhen's temper.

At least the person who stole the rails for the first time is not guilty of death, and should be sentenced according to the normal crime of theft.

However, this thing involves military use.

How precious the army is in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, not to mention Su Maoxiang, no one in the whole Ming Dynasty is unaware.

Su Maoxiang, who was full of anger, simply dismissed the people from Shuntian Mansion—according to the theft, the official regulations will come out in a few days.

Su Maoxiang felt that it would not take a few days, but only a day or two.

It is nothing more than to ask Emperor Chongzhen for instructions first, what is the heaviest punishment, and what is the lightest punishment.

However, beyond Su Maoxiang's imagination, Emperor Chongzhen convicted the crime of stealing the railway much more seriously than stealing and robbery, basically like murder and arson.

"If you can get a heavy sentence, you can get a heavy sentence. If you can be imprisoned for life, you can be imprisoned for life. If you should be exiled for three thousand miles, you will be exiled for three thousand miles. Anyway, my Ming Dynasty is not like North Korea, where I can't leave the country for three thousand miles.

If one person steals the railway tracks, the whole family will suffer bad luck. This kind of slogan can be printed everywhere, and then posted everywhere for me.

Whoever dares to steal the railway tracks will be in trouble with the imperial court's policy of pacifying slaves and building a bright future for Ming Dynasty. "

Su Maoxiang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this punishment too much?"

Emperor Chongzhen squinted at Su Maoxiang, and snorted coldly: "Yes? It doesn't matter if one of the rails is lost, it's just a matter of money.

However, who is to blame for the casualties and material losses caused by the derailment of the front of the car?

As a result, the opportunity to fight was delayed, the army could not get supplies in time, and even Jiannu had a chance to breathe again. Whose fault should it be?

In short, stealing other things can be tolerated, but stealing railroad tracks is absolutely unbearable. Once discovered, you will be put in prison and will not be forgiven! "

Hearing Emperor Chongzhen's murderous words, Su Maoxiang had no choice but to bow down and agree. After he made up his mind to go back, he would settle the matter first, and get that guy named Shen Hao to the Ministry of Punishment by the way. This kind of legalist If people don't get it to the Ministry of Punishment, it's a waste to put it anywhere else.

As soon as Su Maoxiang left, the maid beside Wanyan Yuzhuo hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, the empress is about to give birth!"

Emperor Chongzhen was startled, threw the memorial in his hand directly on the table, raised his legs and walked out, and ordered as he walked: "The imperial doctor is waiting!"

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being in a hurry.

Wanyan Yuzhuo is a little younger, far less than the best childbearing age of 24 or [-] years old. Although it is said that the daughters who grew up on the grassland have stronger bones, they are too young.

The most important thing is that there is no such thing as a caesarean section in Daming, and they can only rely on the level of Wen Po to deliver babies.

Even if there are the best doctors and midwives in the world in the imperial palace, it is still a hell of a time for a woman to give birth.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen hated Cao Cao again.

If it wasn't for that guy Cao Cao who chopped Hua Tuo down, it is estimated that Daming would have had a caesarean section already - isn't it just a craniotomy, I'm afraid of it.

Of course, if it were his own words, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he would kill Hua Tuo too, but this did not prevent Emperor Chongzhen from hating Cao Cao at the moment.

There are always two sides to the dialectical view of things, isn't it?

Or double standards.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen's worries were a little superfluous.

By the time Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Wanyan Yuzhuo's bedroom in a hurry, the children had all been born.

Empress Zhang and Empress Zhou, as well as Concubine Yuan Gui and Concubine Tian, ​​have all arrived.

Moreover, both Queen Zhang and Queen Zhou's complexions were not very good-looking.

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen had arrived, Empress Zhang ordered, "Wait here, the Ai family has something to say to the emperor", and then signaled Emperor Chongzhen to walk aside.

Emperor Chongzhen, who had no idea of ​​the situation at all, followed Empress Zhang for a while, and saw that there was no one around, so he asked directly, "Why does the emperor's wife look so ugly? But what's wrong? Did you tell the imperial doctor?" ?”

Empress Zhang ignored Emperor Chongzhen, and directly ordered: "You wait and retreat first."

Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua, who had always been by Emperor Chongzhen's side, heard the words, and turned their attention to Emperor Chongzhen together. They didn't retreat until Emperor Chongzhen nodded.

Emperor Chongzhen was really curious about what made Empress Zhang pull herself aside to talk in such a big way.

Empress Zhang saw that there was no one around herself and Emperor Chongzhen, so she said, "Emperor, Aijia asks you, will the son of Concubine Wan become the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty?"

Emperor Chongzhen's attention was immediately attracted by the word son, and he immediately asked, "Son? Concubine Wan gave birth to a son?"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen answered irrelevant questions, Empress Zhang felt upset and said angrily, "Aijia asked whether this child will become a prince!"

Only then did Emperor Chongzhen come to his senses, and he laughed dumbly and said, "Why did the emperor's sister-in-law say that? I am still young, so how could I establish a crown prince so early?"

Empress Zhang said: "It's right not to establish a crown prince early, so as not to cause people to have some unreasonable thoughts. But what the Ai family is worried about is whether this child will become the crown prince of Daming in the future?"

Emperor Chongzhen said flatly: "No! There is absolutely no possibility! Even Concubine Wan knows that when this child grows older, he will be crowned King of Liao and rule in Liaodong."

Only then did Queen Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "That's what the Ai family is worried about, as long as this child doesn't become a prince."

Emperor Chongzhen asked curiously: "Why is the sister-in-law worried about this?"

Empress Zhang said: "The mother of this child is from a foreign family in Liaodong, and she is not born of the empress, but she still occupies the title of the eldest son of the emperor. If you don't stop thinking about it as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future."

Emperor Chongzhen chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law is too worried. I am not yet in my thirties. If it comes to establishing a crown prince, it will take at least 20 years before I think about it. It is too early to say these things now."

Empress Zhang said bitterly: "But this is the eldest son of the emperor! Even if the child's mother is from the Xibo tribe, it will not change the fact that this child is the eldest son of the emperor!

It's not that you don't know the virtues of the ministers of the Great Ming Dynasty. If these people have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, your brother's lesson is not far away, so don't be careless. "

In fact, when Emperor Chongzhen faced Empress Zhang, he was always a little guilty.

Because in the memory of the original Emperor Chongzhen, the death of Emperor Tianqi had nothing to do with him, and he even felt that Emperor Tianqi's death was a bit inexplicable.

But Emperor Chongzhen didn't think so after the crossing. Once Emperor Tianqi died, he would benefit the most.

And Empress Zhang said to herself so heartfeltly, saying that she was right in her heart, that was pure nonsense.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen decided to open up his words better: "Sister-in-law, in fact, I never thought about establishing a crown prince. Even if this child is born by Queen Zhou, it is normal, and he will only be crowned king early. .

In the past few years, how many sons I have, all of them were crowned kings early, and then brought with them to train them, and choose their sages to be established, but no matter what the time is, it will have to wait until 30 or [-] years later.

As for Concubine Wan's child, I also know that the child's bloodline problem has already doomed him not being able to become the crown prince of Ming Dynasty, so I told Concubine Wan early.

After the child grows up, he will become a vassal in Liaodong, and will open up to the extreme north, just like the example of Tang Wangshu and others.

Zhen, I will never let waste appear in the prince, and it is even more impossible to allow a child who has achieved nothing to ascend the throne of the prince! "
