The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 825 To be an emperor, one must be treacherous
Facts have proved that the universities in Beijing still have the most people in the mixed department.

As for outside the capital, Ding Yi required the local county government to have girls' classes.All women of the right age are required to go to school.

But for now, the effect is not very good. The world has just settled down, and the common people are still unable to let their children go to school. In particular, very few women go to school. They are the children of officials and craftsmen from Lushun.

But Ding Yi believes that with his forced promotion, after five to ten years, when ordinary people live better, more and more women will be willing to go to school.

Ding Yi chatted with his children, and the thing Ding Mi talked about the most was that a boy in the school had an affair with a girl and was punished.

The young Ding Mi's first love affair seems to be longing for these things too.

Ding Yi listened silently, and then said with a smile: "Men and women have been together for a long time, and it is normal to have a relationship for a long time, but you must pay attention to propriety and observe character. Dad thinks that no matter what the other party's identity and status are, they are not What matters is character."

"Father, do you really feel that way?" Ding Mi said in surprise.

"Of course, your dad wasn't born to be the emperor, he was just a boss before." Ding Yi gently stroked Ding Mi's head: "Xiao Mimi has grown up, do you want to fall in love?"

"No, no, no." Ding Mi blushed and ran towards Ruan Shi.

Nguyen chuckled.

Ding Ye has been listening and watching, this will feel that his father seems to be a little open-minded, he hesitated for a while, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?" Ding Yi turned to look at him: "You never do things regardless of the consequences, so why don't you dare say anything?"

Ding Yi was aggressive on purpose, but the young Ding Ye couldn't help it. Fortunately, he has grown up and matured, and his voice is a little softer than before: "Students say that Zhang Jinyan, Zhang Xin, Ma Shiying, etc. are all traitors. , and surrendered to bandit soldiers, why do you have to use these treacherous ministers, Father?"

Ding Yi was taken aback, he didn't expect his son to think about these issues.

He was very happy, and pulled Ding Ye to sit beside him: "What do you think of being an emperor?"

Ding Ye did not hesitate: "Of course we must uphold justice for the people of the world and kill all corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

"Is this the emperor?" Ding Yi said: "Isn't this the reputation of the Mingjun?"

"Of course." Ding Ye said proudly.

"Then let me ask you, assuming you are Chongzhen, and now the bandits are approaching, your soldiers have no money and are unwilling to go out, and your ministers have a lot of money, what should you do?"

Ding Ye said: "Of course I will punish them all, confiscate all their wealth and use it for me."

"You are so cruel, how can you be called Mingjun?"

"..." Ding Ye blushed, "Order them to hand it over."

"Chongzhen did it too, but no one listened."

Ding Ye stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"If you are the emperor, you hope that your subordinates will be full of honest officials, and there will be no treacherous officials, right?"

"Of course." Ding Ye said.

"Now your mother is going to celebrate her birthday and needs 1 taels of silver. The upright officials don't agree. What should you do?"

"..." Ding Ye's face turned red again, and he said after a while, "Mother is not this kind of person, so you don't want me to waste it?"

"As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Whether you are an emperor or a prince, you can't have only loyal ministers and good officials around you. Loyalty and ability are not necessarily directly proportional. You have read so many history books since you were young. Look at the history from the Qin Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the vast majority of capable people were treacherous officials."

"The strategy of the emperor is to fight between good and evil. They are all loyal ministers. What should we do if loyal ministers unite and oppose the king?"

"Can you guarantee that every idea and every policy of yours will be supported by loyal ministers?"

"Can you guarantee that you have no selfish desires, and there is nothing you want to do in secret?" At this point, Ding Yi remembered that the dog eunuch Wang Xiangyao hid a telescope for him, and reminded him little Gu Hengbo.

"There are some things that loyal officials won't do for us, but treacherous officials will."

Little Ding Ye seemed to be unable to speak against Ding Yi, and was a little shaken by Ding Yi's words.

But he was not convinced, tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said: "What if this treacherous minister is very greedy? He is greedy for a lot of money? Don't you care?"

"That's good." Ding Yi said with a smile: "I'll let him be greedy, and let the prince take care of him when the crown prince succeeds."

"I wiped out all the treacherous ministers, the world is clean, what is the prince doing? What will future generations say about the prince? Sit back and enjoy the success?"

"Leave the corrupt officials to the prince. After the prince cleans up, he will be famous all over the world immediately, and it can also greatly increase the revenue of the national treasury. Wouldn't it be a good thing to get both fame and money?"

"Besides, the role of corrupt officials is to catch a batch every once in a while, and catch a batch after a while, so that the people of the world will feel that the sage is wise and spare no effort to deal with corrupt officials and treacherous officials. Kill them all and arrest them all, and there will be no corrupt officials in the next 30 years, what do the people of the world think?"

Ding Ye was completely speechless, his little heart was hit by a million critical blows.

Hearing what my father said, it is a good thing to keep treacherous officials and corrupt officials in the court, and we can't arrest and kill them all at once.

Ding Yi looked at the poor Ding Ye, reached out and patted his head lovingly: "Although you are naughty, I know you have no intentions."

"But to be an emperor, you must be treacherous, because only treacherous people can deal with those treacherous ministers."

There are still some things he didn't say out of his mouth, for fear of hurting Ding Ye's young heart. Sometimes the king wants to satisfy some personal desires, and the loyal ministers will not allow you to do it, but the treacherous ministers will try their best to help you realize your dreams.

Ding Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, he rarely talked so much with Ding Yi, especially when he grew up.

After talking so much with Ding Yi today, more and more thoughts came to my mind.

Suddenly, he raised his head again and said: "Many students in the school are saying that the father wants to limit the imperial power. Is the father for real?"

Ding Yi thought for a while, and said solemnly: "I remember telling my brothers around me before that when we sat on the throne and got the right to speak in the world, what did we say and what did we do? not important."

"Before I answer your question, tell me what do the classmates in your school think? How do you say it?"

"Some people are very happy, they think this is a good thing, and they all look forward to restricting the imperial power."

"Some people don't believe it, and think that the father would not do this."

"A few people find it incredible and surprised—"

Ding Yi said: "Do you feel that the second and third types of people, from the bottom of their hearts, also hope to limit the imperial power?"

Ding Ye thought for a while and nodded heavily.

"That's right, no matter what I do in the future, whether I can do it or not, now that I say it, everyone in the world is happy and they don't object? Is this a good thing?"

Ding Ye was speechless again, his eyes shone brightly, as if he could understand what his father was saying, but he didn't seem to understand.

"You can ask so many questions, which proves that you have already used your brain. This is a good thing. I am afraid that you will be controlled by others everywhere in the future because you have no scheming."

Ding Yi didn't tell his son in the end, whether I really wanted to do this, or just talking.

Ding Ye didn't continue to ask, or he already had the answer in his heart.

Early the next morning, Wang Xiangyao sent the materials of the six female officials selected yesterday to Ding Yi.

计有苏州陈小茶15岁、南京夏苏雪16岁、宁波郑诗华14岁、松江徐樱14岁、宜兴安萍13岁、顺天方蔻15岁。

There is only one Fang Kou in the capital, and the rest are from Jiangnan.

The smallest is 13, the largest is 16.

Ding Yi pretended to glance at the roster, and handed it to Su Yue: "This is the new female officer, you arrange it."

"It's the emperor." Su Yue took the roster, turned around and left.

Wang Xiangyao was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ding Yi to pretend not to look at it. Although he saw it from a distance last time, he is watching it up close now.

But of course he wouldn't say anything, and immediately withdrew very tactfully.

Sure enough, Su Yue was waiting for him outside.

The two walked forward side by side, Su Yue said: "Does Your Majesty have any intentions?"

Now that there is no outsider, Su Yue asked Wang Xiangyao directly, because she was also there when Wang Xiangyao took Ding Yi to spy last time.

Of course Wang Xiangyao didn't dare to hide it, and whispered: "Xu Ying seems to be a relative of the empress's younger brother, and the emperor has also mentioned it."

Su Yue remained calm: "Ruan Zongbing's wife's surname is Xu, and it seems that she is also from the Songjiang Xu family. Xu Ying seems to want to call her aunt."

"I see." Wang Xiangyao understood now.

The two of them didn't say anything after that.

On that day, Su Yue arranged several female officials.

Chen Xiaocha is the official sixth-rank secretary of the Shangzhu Bureau.The main function of the Sleeping Bureau is to be responsible for the sleeping of the emperor and concubines. Chen Xiaocha's position is equivalent to the deputy position of the Sleeping Bureau, the third in command, because there is a secretary of the sixth grade in front of him.

Although he is the third in command, he can become Si Yan just after entering the palace, which is quite good.

Su Yue arranged this way because Chen Xiaocha was beautiful, the prettiest of all the female officers, and the one with the best figure.

Xu Ying is the secretary of Gong Zhengsi, the second in command of the sixth rank, and directly becomes Su Yue's deputy.

This Xu Ying simply climbed to the sky in one step, and became the deputy of thousands of court ladies as soon as she entered the palace.

The rest of the female officials are from the sixth-rank divisions of each bureau, including Dianguan, Zhangguan, and female history, etc., which can be regarded as middle-level female officials.

Including the 1000 newly selected maids, the number of maids in the palace has reached [-] at this time. According to Ding Yi's standards, there will be no more recruits next year, and the vacancies will be filled when the maids leave the palace.

On the first day of February, a few days before the Chinese New Year, Gong Dingzi was released by Jin Yiwei.

He left the Jinyiwei Prison in disgrace, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Gu Hengbo and his friend Zhou Zhong waiting for him.

He burst into tears and rushed over to hug Gu Hengbo and cry bitterly.

Gu Hengbo also burst into tears, but Gong Dingzi had been in prison for many days, and his body was dirty and smelly. Gu Hengbo couldn't bear it, so he quickly pushed him up: "I'll talk about it when I go home, I'll talk about it when I go home."

Zhou Zhong also persuaded: "After the sage came to Beijing, I don't know how many officials all over the world have killed. Xiaosheng, you need to improve your memory in the future. You won't be so lucky to be released next time."

Gong Dingzi cried: "Of course I know, I regret it."

The three of them were on their way back when Gong Dingzi found out that he had been reinstated again, and he had to go to duty tomorrow.

There is such a good thing?Gong Dingzi couldn't help being happy again: "The sage is wise, the sage is wise." He kept chanting at home, and suddenly he didn't hate Ding Yi anymore.
