eldest son of Ming dynasty

Snow in the capital heralds a good year.

The first year of Zhengde gradually went away, and the court, which had been noisy for a year, seemed to gradually quiet down with the emperor's wedding.

No one wants to kill anyone, even the thief has to go home for a new year.

But one day in November, something happened on Central Street in the city that never sleeps.
The place where the accident happened was right in front of a shop, above which was hung the words 'crispy tofu'.

Under the signboard is a girl with her sleeves lightly rolled up and her hair in a bun.

Before the girl, it was a son who was knocked to the ground with a punch,

In addition, there was another person riding on him and continuing to beat him!

I want to go back to this matter. Two months ago, Nightless City was attracting business everywhere, and the attractive condition offered was that Jin Yiwei personally maintained law and order, and no one was allowed to disobey the rules.

This kind of thing is too attractive for an unusually beautiful girl.

So this bean curd xishi borrowed money from scattered things, and he rented a shop in the central street of the city that never sleeps.

She is confident that her craftsmanship is extraordinary, as long as there are many customers, those who open the door to do business will naturally make money.Moreover, there is a government office in the city that never sleeps, so there is no fear of any gangsters coming to the door.

However, the blatant gangsters will not come to the door, but the bold young master in Beijing cannot be driven away.

These half-adults with incomplete minds have never done anything serious except eating and drinking when they grow up. What do you expect him to do.

Ordinary people are not afraid when they see Jin Yiwei who makes a detour. Ordinary people think that arguing in the street is to lose face and ruin the family tradition, but they don't take it seriously.

But it doesn't matter if they fight like this, the business of 'crispy tofu' can't be done.

After all, no one wants to come here for a bite to eat, what if they get into trouble?

At this point, this woman named Yu'e was cornered. She was borrowing money to open a store, so how could she afford it?
Later, I suddenly remembered that the official said back then that the law and order in the city that never sleeps is guaranteed!

In this way, she sued the two of them with one paper!
For the management of the Everbright City, the imperial court specially set up a branch office on the side, called the Everbright City Public Security Station, in which personnel were drawn from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei and Shaofu.

These people also did not expect that the first case after the opening of the Yamen was the case of the two uncles!

The person who was beaten was named Zhou Du, who was from the Changningbo Mansion, and the person who beat him was named Wang Huan, who was from the Weiningbo Mansion.

How do you judge this kind of lawsuit?
After a long talk, Wang Huan of the Weiningbo Mansion was generous, and he paid for the unintentionally damaged tables, chairs and benches; Zhou Du of the Changningbo Mansion was not far behind, and he paid for the losses that affected the business.

There were two people adjudicating the case, one was Chen Youguang, the head of the criminal department, and the other was Wei Xuezheng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei. Chen and Wei saw it, how good it is, if they are willing to pay money in their status, then the case is not closed?
As a result, Yu'e refused to let her go. She insisted on asking the government to rule that Zhou and Wang were not allowed to go to her shop again.

But how is this possible?

The other party is Uncle, the city that never sleeps is opened by the government, and the road is built here, why don't you let him go?

The key point is that even if the sentence is sentenced like this, who will execute it?He just went, what should you do?Who hangs his head on the waistband every day to stop these two people from the uncle's house?
If you can't do it, you have to judge blindly. Isn't this moving a stove to roast yourself?
But Yu'e heard too many good things about how the various courts are doing for the people, so she felt that she couldn't do business in the city that never sleeps.
So if it is not ruled that these two people are not allowed to go, she will not leave, and she will speak rudely in court for this!
In this way, Chen Youguang and Wei Xuezheng were immediately angered, and when it was useless to persuade left and right, they were angry and impulsive, and wanted to punish Yu'e for the crime of 'roaring the court'!
As a result, Zhou and Wang were not happy again, so they blatantly obstructed the adjudicator from enforcing the law, and at the same time, they didn't want to be ruled not to allow them to go.

This froze.

Chen Youguang and Wei Xuezheng have nothing to do, they can't beat them, and they can't even sentence them.Then back down, no trial!
But this girl has a strong temper, so she won't be interrogated?

No trial, how did you say those good things that the city that never sleeps said back then?
Anyway, she couldn't do business when she went back, so she knelt down and refused to leave.

The people in the yamen knew that the two sons of the uncle's mansion liked her, and no one dared to touch her.

But it is the twelfth lunar month of winter, the sky is full of snow, how can the mortal body withstand these?

Overnight, there was a person lying in the white snow, and she passed out!

Although no one was killed after being carried to the hospital for emergency treatment, when this incident happened, there was an uproar in the capital!
What was originally a simple case of fighting for women has turned into a major case of unfairness in the public security bureau!
The sign said it was good-looking, saying that there is no deception, and the law and order is good. In the end, it was unlucky for ordinary people in the end!

In this way, people's confidence in the city that never sleeps is gone.Opening the door to do business is often due to the fear of being bullied by the rich and powerful. The big battle in the city that never sleeps originally made some people have illusions in their hearts.It turned out how long it took, and it was still the same!
But Yu'e was treated in the women's hospital, and it was at a critical moment. The staff of the women's hospital had no choice but to find Dr. Tan in a hurry to give the needle, and finally saved her life.

As a result, the girl didn't want to live anymore.She was lying on the bed with tears streaming down her eyes.

Tan Yunxian had no choice, so he said to Yu'e: "There are many unsatisfactory things in the world. Temporary grievances and difficulties are nothing, as long as you are alive, there is still hope."

"Thank you... Thank you, Doctor Tan. But the little girl... came from a poor background. In order to open this shop, she annoyed her family and borrowed a lot of money. Now that this kind of thing happens, there is no hope."

The girl was in tears, which made people feel pitiful.

But when the matter got bigger and bigger, sensible people still knew the seriousness, especially the principals in the Changningbo Mansion and Weiningbo Mansion. Could they not know what the Nightless City is?

Panicked, they immediately sent gifts to Chen Youguang, chief of the criminal department, and Wei Xuezheng, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, and asked them to make a ruling as soon as possible, and not allow those two bastards to go to Zhongyang Street.

Uncle said it in person and gave him a gift, so what else do they have to say?
That's really the verdict.

But the problem is, where the family tradition is corrupt, if you really can control the family, there will be no such person in the first place.

In the past month, in December, Wang Huan from Weiningbo Mansion went again.

One went, and the other naturally didn't like him.It's all Earl's Mansion, you can go, I can't?
In this way, it is completely bad.
It's good that the public security office didn't sentence you. Everyone thinks you still have a 'secret weapon'. When you get sentenced, it's still the same thing. Then all the merchants and people will know that you are useless!
Under such continuous tossing,

The guarantee of public security and the paradise on earth are all deceitful. The people's trust in the government is already fragile, and now it is all gone!

And although the consequences will not appear immediately, more and more people will try to test whether the red line is true, and the city that never sleeps is slowly becoming chaotic...

In the so-called city that never sleeps, there is nothing new except that there is no curfew!

Anyway, this is not a big deal, there is no murder case, and the money is not much, the emperor sitting in the palace doesn't know about it.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao was admiring the "City That Never Sleeps" presented by Gu Zuo. This painting freezes a lively moment on the night of the emperor's wedding.

So he sat on the charcoal fire, admiring the snow scene, and accepted his work and sense of accomplishment with peace of mind.

Gu Zuo was the only person beside him, Zhengde was approaching the second year, and some things had to be arranged.

"Although the painting is good, everything is just at the beginning. I remember that at the beginning of the year, a meeting agenda was set to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Looking at it now, the execution of reducing expenditure is mediocre, but increasing revenue is quite effective.

As for the city that never sleeps, it's a long-term thing, and it won't be a big hit in two or three years. The recovered money will still stay in the Shaofu. If you feel confident, you can go to Yingtian Mansion to build a city that never sleeps.But it's not urgent, it's a matter of two pennies right now.

First of all, the money from Lianghuai comes from Lianghuai, or goes to Lianghuai. Since the road construction team is scheduled, they will be allowed to enter the field immediately after the Spring Festival is over and the road surface is thawed.This is a major event in the second year of Zhengde.

The problem is the second stroke.Judging from the reports from Zhejiang, this year's yearly income will suddenly include sea trade, plus the original silver accumulated by the imperial court, some voices in the imperial court think that I have collected too much silver from the people.In other words, the court has power. "

Gu Zuo listened for a long time, but he didn't expect the emperor to write in the last place.

"Your Majesty means... to use this power?"

The fire light flickered in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he showed no expression.

But beneath this stillness is turbulence.

So far, the major things he has done, one is to fight two battles on the border, one is to change the policy of sea ban, and the other is to shake the salt law.

Other small things such as academies, medical centers, library gardens, and the Bingyin imperial examinations added under the system, and the transfer of officials under various circumstances.

Yet all of the above misses the real core issue.

There are three basic problems in the Ming Dynasty. If these three are not resolved, there must be an emperor who will die in 100 years, not in Meishan, but in another place.

These are the three core issues, that is, guarding the fields by the guards, exempting officials and gentry, and supporting the vassals.

If you solve any of these matters at will, even if you only feel emotionally, you will feel that the burden on the country has been reduced and the vitality has been enhanced.

But it is really difficult.

And it is more severe than the impact of moving a few salt merchants. After all, no matter how rich the salt merchants are, they are not the foundation of the rule itself. What big disturbance can merchants make?

But in the above three questions, the 'vested interests' in it are actually the ruling class itself.

"Ugh."

No matter how wise and powerful Zhu Houzhao is, he is still a little uncertain. He is not afraid, but worried about whether the time is ripe, and now it is only the first year of Zhengde...

"Why is Your Majesty sighing?"

"It's nothing."

At about this time, Jin Gui from the attendant suddenly walked in, bowed his head, raised his hands, and said only one sentence: "Your Majesty, please take a look."

When Liu Jin heard about it, she had already set off to fetch it.

Speaking of it, it was just a small note, and Zhu Hou looked at it a little puzzled, because there was only one sentence on it: Yu'e Tofu on Zhongyang Street is wronged.

"Mr. Li."

"The minister is here."

"Do you know about the tofu shop on Central Street?"

Gu Zuo raised his head blankly, "Your Majesty...what do you mean?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned, tilted his head and ordered, "Go and call Mao Yuwen."

"Yes."

Liu Jin silently agreed, he actually couldn't see what was written on the note, but according to the emperor's expression, he estimated that this matter was not simple.

Alas, I don't know who doesn't make people feel good during the Chinese New Year.
