Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 300 To be an official, you need to be smarter

At the beginning of the first month of the second year of Yongle, Chen Yunfu formally reached an agreement with Li Chenggui in Wenyuan Pavilion on behalf of Daming.

The Ming Dynasty will depose the Koryo royal family as the suzerain state, clearing away all the nominal obstacles to Li Chenggui's attack on the Qing Dynasty.

The content of the terms of the agreement itself cannot be seen, so even if it is recorded by the official historian, there are only a few strokes.

'Bingyin in the first month of the second year of Yongle, because the Koryo royal family secretly communicated with the Northern Yuan Dynasty and caused chaos in the court, the emperor issued a decree to abolish it, and the Koryo state and Ningjun Li Chenggui had the power to know the affairs of the Koryo state. '

As for everything that Li Chenggui paid for this imperial decree, the history books don't mention it at all.

Even if there are divergent unofficial histories, what is said is nothing more than how Chen Yunfu, the chief minister of the cabinet, plundered and plundered, and his desires are hard to fill, and has nothing to do with Ming Dynasty.

After all, Ming Dynasty was a kingdom of heaven, how could it be possible to interfere in the internal politics of the vassal state, let alone support Li Chenggui's illegal action of military mutiny.

The word FA does not refer to law, but represents the jurisprudence of the orthodox regime.

Li Chenggui's mutiny was undoubtedly an act of trampling on orthodox legal rationality, so it was an illegal action, and Daming would not support it.

Daming just refused to recognize the orthodox ruling status enjoyed by the Koryo royal family in Koryo as the suzerain because of the great mistakes committed by the Koryo royal family.

Li Chenggui left contentedly, and left all the hundreds of carts of gifts he brought with him in Daming, but this time, Daming didn't give any gift in return.

"Reciprocity is only required in the diplomatic relations system. Does the suzerain-vassal system still require reciprocation?"

Huang Ting, Minister of Rites, remembered Chen Yunfu's words in his heart.

"If they don't give it, we can take it ourselves."

"Is there no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land!"

Chen Yunfu got into the carriage, and after explaining to the Ministry of Punishment, he stopped caring about this matter. He believed that Yu Yifeng, the envoy of Liaodong Economic Strategy, would coordinate with Li Chenggui for the following matters.

He is now ready to go to Guangdong and Guangxi.

Before going to Guangdong and Guangxi, he had to meet this batch of 'Jiangyang Thieves' from Guangdong.

Take Lao Hu together.

"Master Hu."

"The young master should be called the humble old Hu."

Meeting Chen Yunfu again at this moment, Lao Hu was rarely nervous, even a little embarrassed.

The status and status of the two are destined to have a great disparity.

"Okay, then Benfu will call you Laohu."

Walking into the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Chen Yunfu chatted happily, "How have you been these few years?"

"If you go back to the young master, your life will be a lot more comfortable, but it's too idle." Lao Hu followed closely, and responded cautiously: "In the past few years, the punishment has been changed a lot, and the most heinous criminals are gone. There is nothing to be dealt with by the humble staff, and the humble staff is usually busy with apprentices."

Chen Yunfu laughed, and said that the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs accompanied by a large group of people on the left and right said: "Our old master Hu has taught the craft, and this matter cannot be spread, otherwise I don't know how many corrupt officials can't sleep at night."

A group of people nodded in accompaniment, and Yu Lun followed, "As long as the officials are dedicated to their duties, even if Master Hu is full of peaches and plums, there is no use for him."

"It has to be Yu Butang, who speaks with insight."

"Young master praises it absurdly, but the lower officials dare not."

Talking and laughing along the way, Chen Yunfu entered a fairly bright cell, in which were a few 'Jiangyang Thieves' who had already been tied up, and Yu Lun was quick to move a grand master's chair for Chen Yunfu.

These prisoners also raised their heads at this moment, looking at the officials rushing in in front of them, and the young man sitting in front of him with a big horse and a golden knife.

The elegant white clothes, the aloof demeanor without anger and prestige, coupled with the large group of obedient and flattering officials around him, let these few know that this is a high-ranking official!

Very big kind.

"This is the dynasty"

"No need to introduce."

Just as Yu Lun wanted to introduce, he was interrupted by Chen Yunfu raising his hand.

"Honsuke is here today for your business. I just want to ask you a question, do you want to live?"

Can live who wants to die?
Several people nodded their heads like pounding garlic.

"It's easy to live." Chen Yunfu smiled slightly: "Then I have to trouble everyone to play a play with Benfu. As long as the play is good, you will not only be able to live, but the court will give you extra rewards."

"Yes, yes, Caomin and the others must obey."

Chen Yunfu smiled with satisfaction, got up and left, which made Yu Lun and others look stupid.

Everyone thought that Chen Yunfu would go through a lot of trouble when he came here this time, so it's that simple?
"Just a few words, is there any trouble?" Chen Yunfu said with a relaxed face, "Don't always complicate simple things, everyone wants to live a good life, and if there is a good life, no one's life will be cheap.

They are all poor people who have nowhere to go, as long as they are willing to cooperate with the court, they don't go all the way to the dark. "

Chen Yunfu greeted these 'Jiangyang Thieves' one by one, but he never expected that there would be a stunned young man.

The young guy looked seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was stubborn and unwilling to cooperate.

"This, what's the situation?"

Chen Yunfu glanced at Yu Lun in astonishment, and the latter quickly said bravely, "Master, this kid doesn't know what kind of ecstasy soup he was given, and he was extremely uncooperative when he testified at the beginning, and it seems that he wanted to die. "

And those who want to die?

"Tell me, what are you trying to do." Chen Yunfu said curiously: "How much money are you paid by the people behind you?"

"Master, I just don't accept the court, I just want to follow the thief and rebel!"

"Bold!"

"presumptuous!"

Yu Lun and others shouted angrily, but Chen Yunfu raised his hand to stop them.

"You are, the family has been wronged?"

Desperately walking all the way to the dark, and still hating the court so much, it is probably because of dissatisfaction with the court.

"That's right." The young man held his neck high: "My parents were killed by our landlord. I went to file a complaint, but the court officials and officials not only ignored them, they even beat me up."

Chen Yunfu was even more confused, calling out and so on.

"Your father and mother were killed by the landlord. If you don't seek revenge from the landlord, blame the court?"

"Who told your court to ignore it?"

"Where did you file your claim?"

"The county and the government have sued."

Chen Yunfu asked again: "What about the province? What about Jinling?"

"How dare you continue to sue." The young man sneered, and retorted: "Our county magistrate said after he had beaten me, saying that if I dared to go beyond the county and the mansion to sue, I would be designated as a traitor. beheaded for the crime."

"So, you don't plan to live anymore, you just want to sell your life for others to get some cool money."

"Yes."

The two levels of the prefecture and county are working together, and they don't let the common people continue to sue, and if they sue, they will beheaded. This is the favorite thing of those corrupt officials.

This is to discredit the court.

"If Benfu remembers correctly, many prefects and county magistrates in Guangdong are now locals."

Chen Yunfu said: "They can't represent the imperial court, and they will never be qualified to represent the imperial court. Benfu will soon go to Guangdong and Guangxi from Yiren, in order to resolve the injustices in these places.

You remember, only His Majesty the Emperor is qualified to represent the imperial court, only the minister and the cabinet can act on behalf of the imperial court, and no one else or any level of yamen is worthy.

What you hate is not the imperial court, but black-hearted landlords and corrupt officials. Don't marry your hatred. You cooperate with Benfu. Benfu will give you a chance to take revenge. As long as you find out the truth, your parents were indeed killed. Yes, then Bensuke can let you take revenge with your own hands. "

"really?"

"As the chief minister of the cabinet, Benfu is very important. Can you lie to a child?"

"Okay, then I will cooperate."

Chen Yunfu smiled in satisfaction, stood up and left, behind him Yu Lun said cautiously: "Let him take revenge with his own hands, wouldn't that mean acquiescing to the lynching, young master, isn't that inappropriate."

How to say that he is also the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Lun thinks that such an unreasonable thing, he should stand up and stop it.

"Lynching, of course not."

"Then you still say let him take revenge with his own hands."

Don't say it's a lie, the chief minister of the cabinet can't lie.

"Can't you turn your head?" Chen Yunfu sighed, patted Yu Lun on the shoulder and strode out of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Yang Shiqi behind him came up to Yu Lun and said something.

"Yu Butang, wouldn't it be enough to hire that young man to be the executioner when the time comes?"

Yu Lun slapped his head.

Yes.
