Rise From the Humble

oh

oh

It's extreme, it's extreme.

After hearing this, Zhao Qiu and others finally realized why Yan Shifan raised objections. It was a plan that killed two birds with one stone. Not only could it eliminate gossip, but it could also get twice the result with half the effort. Mr. Yan was really a talented person.

"What Master Yan said is, then I will learn from Master Yan and avoid it. I will leave this trial to Master Zhang." After Zhao Qiu figured it out, he stopped insisting and walked down from the presiding chair, with a gloomy expression on his face. With a smile, he cupped his hands and said to Yan Shifan and Zhang Gu in the auditorium.

"Young Master Yan's high moral integrity is admirable."

"In ancient times, there was Qi Huangyang who did not avoid enemies when he was external and did not avoid his son when he was internal. Nowadays, Master Yan avoids the court and is upright. We admire him."

In the courtroom, there were many praises for Yan Shifan's actions.

Zhu Ping'an stood in the courtroom, watching this scene quietly, with a slight curve in the corner of his mouth, "You are really disrespecting your talents by not being an actor."

Soon, after discussion between the presiding officer and the attending officials, it was determined that Zhang Gu, the right minister of the Ministry of War, would be the presiding judge instead of Zhao Qiu, the left minister of the Ministry of War.

The Criminal Department's submissions continued, which was not much different from the trial. First, the identities of Zhu Ping'an and Zhao Daying were verified, and then the laws and regulations related to crimes such as frame-up and killing for merit were read out before entering the substantive submission stage.

"Zhu Ping'an, why do you want to impeach Zhao Daying?" Wang Xueyi, the Minister of Punishment in the courtroom, his eyes flashing, patted the scaffolding and asked loudly.

"Zhao Daying killed a good man and took credit for his crimes. In Liujia Village at the foot of Yunmeng Mountain, more than a hundred miles north of the capital, except for a dozen young men who were recruited to fight against the Tatars and an old man who went out to fetch water, all the old, young, women, and children in the village were killed by Zhao Daying. Ying "borrowed" the heads of the people in his neck, and the fifty-nine heads of the whole village, old, young, women, and children, became Zhao Daying's promotion assets. It was pity that their father and brother were willing to risk arrows to kill the enemy on the front line. Zhao Daying's evil deeds, How can I turn a blind eye to this! It’s tolerable, but it’s intolerable!”

Zhu Ping'an stood in the hall with his hands clasped, looking at the presiding judge above the court, who exposed Zhao Daying's crimes. Even though it had been a long time, he still couldn't bear the anger in his chest when he recounted it, and his eyes flashed. A blazing flame.

ah? What?

There was an uproar in the courtroom. Some officials who were not aware of the case were shocked when they heard this. They looked at each other and then looked at Zhao Daying.

The composition of the auditing officials is similar to that of the presiding officials. The strict party accounts for the majority, but not all. They are all in a three-to-one ratio. The strict party accounts for three, the neutral party accounts for one, and the Li Mo party accounts for one. Therefore, not all officials support Zhao Daying, and some officials do not even know the facts of the case.

"Nonsense! What a load of nonsense! You are spitting blood!"

Before Zhu Pingan finished speaking, Zhao Daying couldn't help shouting angrily. He glared at Zhu Pingan angrily, with veins popping up on his face. His chest looked like he had suffered a great injustice for nothing and it was unbearable.

"Nonsense?" Zhu Ping'an stood there and quietly looked at where Zhao Daying was hysterical. He curled his lips disdainfully, "Is Mr. Zhao feeling guilty?"

People often use anger to cover up their guilty conscience. Zhao Daying is a typical example. On the outside, he looks like he is furious and furious after being slandered, but in fact it is just another manifestation of his guilty conscience.

"That's nonsense! I can sit upright, why should I feel guilty!" Zhao Daying's voice went from low to high, and finally roared, as if Ma Jingtao was possessed, his face turned red as if his blood was boiling. .

Not only that, Zhao Daying clenched his fists and came to Zhu Pingan angrily, staring at Zhu Pingan angrily, "Master Zhu, I have offended you in some way. If so, please tell me. I apologize to you in front of everyone. Why use such despicable means to slander me for nothing!!!"

At this moment, Zhao Daying clenched his fists and stared angrily at Zhu Pingan, as if he was going to beat Zhu Pingan violently in the next second.

I really wanted to, Zhao Daying's fists were clenched tightly and trembling, like a hungry tiger pouncing on food.

Compared with him, the frail Zhu Pingan was like fish on the chopping board.

"What, is Zhao Daying trying to 'borrow' my head?" Zhu Ping quietly stood there motionless, slightly curling his lips, squinting at Zhao Daying's big fists, mocking asked.

Zhao Daying originally wanted to use force to force others, but he didn't expect to use the wrong target. Zhu Pingan looked like a weak scholar, but he was more brave than the Tatar generals he looked up to on the battlefield. Faced with his own physical threats, Zhu Pingan Not only did he not even blink, but he also used this as a breakthrough point and jokingly brought up the matter of "borrowing" the head again.

In this situation, Zhao Daying clenched his fists and looked menacingly, which can really make people think of more things.

"Nonsense, I am not that kind of person." Zhao Daying quickly realized something was wrong and took a step back.

"Haha." Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhao Daying and chuckled.

"That's enough. You can't tolerate this in court!" The presiding judge in the court slapped the gavel again, interrupting the verbal exchange between Zhu Pingan and Zhao Daying.

"Zhu Ping'an, do you know that I, the Ming Dynasty, falsely accused me of being punished and my crime will be increased. You should think about it carefully. You should cherish the fame you gained from ten years of hard study and don't make mistakes. If you wait to be found out in court, It's too late for false accusations." Wang Xueyi in the court looked at Zhu Ping'an sternly and said slowly.

"Thank you for telling me, sir, but for fame, Xiaguan is more concerned about the lives of the fifty-nine people in Liujiacun. When Xiaguan was elected, my parents told me several times that if you don't make decisions for the people as an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. Parents' teachings , I will always keep this in my heart, and today I will do the same as I did that day. Please investigate this case thoroughly and uphold the laws of the country. I will die and be immortal!"

Zhu Ping'an shook his head with a firm look on his face, then bowed to the court and bowed at an angle of 45 degrees to his knees. After standing up, he bowed and bowed to the spectators on both sides again.

"If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes."

Some officials in the gallery looked at Zhu Pingan's bent back and couldn't help but chew on this simple sentence, "If you don't make decisions for the people as an official, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes." For a moment, their hearts felt like they were electrocuted.

They are not modern people, and they have never watched the Henan opera "The Seventh Grade Sesame Official" more than a hundred years later. Just hearing this sentence, their hearts were deeply touched, and a scene seemed to appear in front of them: a man who had just won the imperial examination The young boy rode home in the spring breeze. When the old parents in the fields heard the news that their son had won the imperial examination, they put down their hoes and felt sad for a long time. They were afraid that their sons would become corrupt and ignorant officials who would only serve the common people after they became officials, so they over and over again Educate your son that if you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Great simplicity!

This sentence is simple, but it has profound meaning and is thought-provoking. It can be compared with my mother-in-law's tattooing of loyalty and devotion to the country, but she is not far behind!

Regardless of the outcome of this petition, Zhu Ping'an's phrase "If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes" became popular this time. Looking at this momentum, it will soon become popular in the Ming Dynasty.
