eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 423 Follow-up Effects
Liu Jin is very busy.

Zhu Houzhao was not idle either, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace regardless of the cold winter wind, and sat in front of the Meridian Gate.

Between the two rows of eunuchs was Mao Yuwen, whose shirt was taken off and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch came over to ask whether the execution could be executed.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, put one hand on the edge of the chair, sat slightly reclined, and waved the other hand.

"Yes!"

Then there was a 'bang', and the sound was very solid.

And Mao Yuwen just snorted, but stiffened and didn't cry out.

After that, the stick rose and fell again, 'bang, bang, bang' continuously.

The veins on Mao Yuwen's neck and head became more obvious, and his face became red.But his figure was firm, and he was desperately unwilling to fall down, even if there was blood on the stick in the end.

The twenty military sticks were requested by himself.

And Zhu Houzhao sat here, that is to say, he took the initiative to ask for this punishment.

Looking at the blood gradually left on the stick, Zhu Houzhao said: "Yuwen, this matter has nothing to do with you, but you have been tortured like this, do you feel a little dissatisfied?"

"Return to Your Majesty, no!"

"Really not?"

"Absolutely not. What Jin Yiwei Wei Xuezheng committed is the most important thing. It is only [-] army sticks, and His Majesty is extraordinarily merciful."

"Get dressed."

Mao Yuwen didn't move, no matter how cold it was, he didn't move, it was set by the eunuch next to him.

"Go to the Tai Hospital to grab some medicine, don't leave hidden wounds."

Mao Yuwen knocked his head on the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me the medicine."

The emperor got up and walked back to the palace on the wind.

He is also unwilling to punish a confidant of his in the winter like this, but some mistakes can be forgiven, and some mistakes cannot.

Mistakes that cannot be made, only if there are consequences after making them, these people will not lose their lives because of it next time.

If the benevolence of a woman at this time sends a wrong message, which eventually leads to serious consequences, then at that time, Ma Su will be killed with tears.

Mao Yuwen's body is also considered strong. Logically speaking, he should rest after being beaten like this.

But he didn't.

After briefly cleaning the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it, he summoned the three thousand households, six deputy thousand households, and all the hundred households in Beijing who were in charge of the criminal office, public security office, and special office in Fusi, Beizhen.

The main school officials of Beisi who have changed their face from the outside world are all from here.

In order to wait for these people, Mao Yuwen spent all night.

And even at night, everyone is not allowed to leave, holding torches, facing the cold wind, this matter must be resolved today!
Wei Xuezheng was tied up and knelt in front of the hall.

Mao Yuwen's face looked extremely indifferent under the cover of the jumping fire.

"Jinyiwei belongs to the 26th Guard of the Shangzhiqin Army, and it is even more different from the other 25th Guards. Since the first day you entered here, this envoy has told you. But some people still don't listen! You tell this envoy, What is Jinyiwei?!"

"Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army!"

"The emperor's relatives want to bully the emperor! Don't say that your majesty can't tolerate you, even I, Mao Yuwen, can't tolerate you! Take the knife!"

Wei Xuezheng's face was already pale with fright.

But things have come to this point, it's useless to say anything.

When the knife fell, a column of blood gushed out!
And Mao Yuwen didn't even look at it, he turned his back and turned his head with only a side face, "Bei Si is under me, and anyone who bullies the emperor will be beheaded!"

"Yes!"

There was a roar like thunder in an instant.

With a bang, Mao Yuwen threw the blood-stained knife on the ground.

"After you go back, check the members of the various ministries you belong to. If your majesty finds a Wei Xuezheng, he will only look for me. And if I find a Wei Xuezheng, I can only look for you."

Wei Xuezheng was transferred from the Fusi Public Security Station of Jinyiwei North Town to the Nightless City Public Security Station.

and so……

Some words need not be said.

One thousand households in the public security station and two deputy thousand households stepped forward consciously.

"Each forty army sticks!"

This is how the effectiveness of the management hierarchy increases.

Otherwise, the voices of the people above are broken, but the orders cannot be issued. What is the difference between this kind of imperial power and empty power.

But layer by layer conduction will make Jinyiwei's grassroots environment very harsh.

But this is Jinyiwei, and all the affairs involved are military affairs, so it can't be trifling at all.

after dawn,

In the official office of the Ministry of Households, a guest from the Ministry of Punishment came,
Min Gui patted the table and said angrily: "Liu Jin is sitting in a big sedan chair with eight lifts, standing in the city that never sleeps, standing in the city that never sleeps and speaking righteously! It's unprecedented for an eunuch to become a person who upholds justice for the people. miracle!"

The chief inspector extended his hand to the city that never sleeps.The great eunuch Liu Jin has suddenly turned into a person who pleads for the people, doesn't this make other people useless?
Chen Youguang was an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and Min Gui was furious when he heard about it.

It's nothing else, it's a shame!

What Liu Jin did was originally supposed to be done by them.

Now they are the enemy of the common people.

How could a person like Min Gui who valued his innocence so much not lose his temper?

Gu Zuo, who was sitting on the side, was not as fierce as before in the palace, and his mood was much calmer.

"This matter, the old man wants to hand in a note to enter the palace. If you don't dispute, the old man will fight!"

The you that Min Gui was talking about was Gu Zuo who was sitting and not talking.

It was a bit embarrassing to say this, but this Min Shangshu has such a bad temper, and when he is in a bad mood, he even has to argue with the emperor.Not to mention Gu Zuo, a junior.

"Chaoying, please calm down first." Han Wen stopped him, "What's the use of you entering the palace now? Besides, I believe that Li Qing will not disagree, who is Liu Jin? Even if Li Qing is indifferent Feng Qing will not see him intervene. But...is it useful to fight? If the emperor wants to abandon someone, no one can keep him, and if the emperor wants to use, no one can stop him!"

Gu Zuo was recalling the emperor's last words.Everyone said that Gu Liqing was a favored minister, but it was not true, the emperor was the real one who was right about things and wrong about others.

Han Wen continued: "Chaoying, think again. Jinyiwei is the emperor's own army, so what? Your Majesty sometimes thinks about some affection, but when it comes to specific things, whoever is useful will use it. Whoever doesn't use it will discard it. who."

Min Gui's eyes widened in anxiety, "If things go on like this, wouldn't it be a lucky minister?"

"Then, what does Min Shangshu want to argue with His Majesty?" Gu Zuo asked suddenly.

"Naturally, the Supervisor of Ceremonies should not interfere with this matter!"

"Your Majesty will ask, why can't the Supervisor of Rituals intervene?"

"What do you say, Li Qing, eunuchs interfering in politics, it's a sign of chaos!"

"Your Majesty will say that he didn't intend to ask eunuchs to intervene in politics, but it's because civil servants can't do well."

"How could it not be done well? I, Min Gui, do this with my head up, it depends on whether I can do it well or not?"

"But the truth is," Gu Zuo said with a sigh of relief, his tone was a little more serious, "the civil servants are not doing well."

Min Gui was still dissatisfied, "What do you mean? Let the eunuchs do it all?"

Such debates are fruitless.

……

But in Qianqing Palace, Jin Gui suddenly said something to the emperor when Liu Jin was away, his courtiers were away, and there was no one else in the attendant room.

Zhu Houzhao was somewhat unexpected, "This is the first time you have told me these things."

"Your Majesty, you are not good at words. Most of the time you only know how to do it, but you don't know how to say it. Even today, there are things that are not right. If you offend His Majesty, please punish him."

"There is no need for punishment. As the emperor, you can't let the people around you talk nonsense, but you can't make the people around you dare not say it. The former is too soft, and the latter is too violent. Especially you, Jin Gui, who have been in the East Palace ever since. Doing things by my side, I am quiet and talkative, and I am devoted to the king. How can I not believe you?
When you talk about the case of the salt class, the courtiers who supervise and examine the court can still understand it.But now a trivial matter has to be taken care of by the Li Supervisor, and the courtiers may worry that the eunuch party will grow bigger.It has even reached a level...to the extent that if something happens, they will go to the chief of ceremonies.

Let me tell you the truth, I didn't think of these things beforehand. "

Zhu Houzhao was sitting. It was cold in winter and he didn't want to go outside.So I sat cross-legged on the rug, listening to the wind, and reading the memorabilia.

Jin Gui didn't make him kneel, but bent over and stood aside.

"Your Majesty is wise, intelligent, wise and powerful, which is recognized by the whole world. The original intention of my humble minister is not to say that Your Majesty is not concerned."

"No problem. Do you know why I didn't think of it?"

Jin Gui paused, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Because for the Son of Heaven, there is no difference between foreign ministers and internal ministers. If there are too many foreign ministers, they must be cured, and if there are too many internal ministers, they must be cured. As for loyalty, treachery, good and evil, although they are polar opposites, it is actually difficult to distinguish them. Some people seem to be loyal, but they can't get things done, some people seem to be traitors, but they can get things done, do you think I should use loyalty or traitor?

Therefore, when I am a country, I don't only look at black and white, there is no pure black or pure white between heaven and earth.Use black if black works, use white if white works, and vice versa.The resulting impact is not something I should consider. "

Jin Gui's heart trembled slightly, the emperor's words were so old-fashioned on the [-]th day of the new year.

The so-called is not something I should consider, the implication is that it is something they should consider!

To put it simply, the emperor only needs to show his way of employing people, and they are the ones who want to study this way!

If someone doesn't understand, then the emperor will still not consider it, you can 'not live in the temple, but in the rivers and lakes'.

But in this way...

Jin Gui pursed his lips.

"The minister is only afraid that the traitor will be in power."

Zhu Houzhao stopped writing in his hand, and turned his head at this moment, "You are also my subject. Tell me, doing things according to my will everywhere, is this flattery or loyalty? Repeatedly not acting according to my will is disobedience and resistance Up, or are you upright?"

"I think it depends on the specific matter. The sage also said that there is a way to divide the state."

"Then who is to define whether there is a way or not?"

"Naturally, it is the people of the world."

"All the people in the world? I have an order to open the sea. The common people praise it, and the officials condemn it. Is the voice of all the people in the world praise or condemn?"

"This……"

"So, whether there is a way or not, in the final analysis, it is up to you to define it. But whether what I did is right, why should you define it?"

"Wei Chen..."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about him, "You are not good at words, so just learn from each other's strengths to make up for your weaknesses. Of course, you can still say whatever you have in the future. I like what you said today."

Jin Gui was greatly shocked. The emperor actually said that he liked what he said was very harsh.

What a majestic king this is.

So he knelt down and kowtowed: "My emperor is holy!"

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and continued writing.

In fact, Jin Gui's words somewhat hit another thought in his heart,
If civil servants don't work, they should use eunuchs.

Moreover, there is nothing to say about this matter itself. Mao Yuwen was still punished for doing something wrong. This has nothing to do with the difference between factory guards and civil servants.

Not long after, something was handed over from the East Factory.

Zhu Houzhao twirled his fingers and opened it. It was written on how Mao Yuwen rectified the Jinyiwei last night.

After a little thought, he said,

"deliver an imperial order."

You Zhi, who was serving at the side, came forward and bowed.

"Mao Yuwen, Deputy Commander of Jinyiwei, is the Commander."

"Yes!"

You Zhi was very surprised, he was punished just now, and now he is being rewarded again, in just one day there have been many changes, what is the purpose of this?
In fact, there are two purposes.First, not to deceive the king is already in his heart, and with this, he can be a commander.And this unexpected reward will make this sentence even more deeply ingrained in Mao Yuwen's heart.

Second, the eunuchs and the cruel officials are also in the top position, which is to convey the emperor's will to the outer court more clearly, because all the courtiers know that they are as smart as him, and they will not do things for no reason, let alone be confused or angry. Support factory guards, but because they are easy to use.That being the case, there is no need to go to the palace to say other noisy words!
