my days with tyrants

Chapter 329 The Devil and the Demon Girl

Commander Xie was dumbfounded when he saw the imperial decree unfolded in Sun Cheng's hand.

Deputy Ambassador Song on the wall was also dumbfounded.

They really don't know about this!

Of course, in fact, this batch of Wutaishan University graduates have this thing.

This is not what Yang Feng asked for them, but a reward from the Queen Mother. This batch of graduates is Zhu Yunxi's painstaking effort. He personally grasped everything from enrollment to study to internship, so in the eyes of the Queen Mother, these students are naturally loyal to her and her husband. Queen's.She also needs her own cronies now, this kind of capable and loyal to her mother and daughter can be said to be the most perfect choice, so in order to show her feelings for the late emperor, each of the five hundred late emperor's disciples will be rewarded with such a decree.

The next batch of graduates give back.

All the students recruited by Zhu Yunxi when he was alive have such an imperial decree after graduation, including those elementary school students on Wutai Mountain, as long as they can graduate from university, they will also have such an imperial edict, which means that there will be more than five thousand in the future conservatively.

Of course this is not to give them the privilege of immunity.

They have committed a crime, how should they be interrogated, how can they be convicted? This is not an iron bond, it cannot exonerate them, but no matter what level of law enforcement agencies want to arrest them, they must first file a report, and only after obtaining the permission of the imperial decree can they be punished. Proceed to the next step of arrest, interrogation and conviction.Because they are the late emperor's disciples, and the master and apprentice are like father and son, they are also equivalent to the late emperor's godsons, and of course the queen mother is also equivalent to their godmother.

No matter what crime they committed, they have to talk to the queen mother, right?
Very reasonable.

It's just that the queen mother didn't expect that this thing blocked the way for local officials to deal with them within the rules.

Can not be caught directly.

There must be a decree.

It is said that the little princess is mainly able to issue such an imperial decree, and then she will be damned!

It is simply impossible to solve them within the rules.

There was an eerie silence.

Sun Cheng somewhat proudly held up the imperial decree in his hand.

"Commander Xie, the young one is indeed humble, but in the end the responsibility lies. No matter who is there, he cannot arrest Li Tui without the imperial order. If he has to resist the order, then the young one can only do his own duty."

He said.

Then he pointed the short gun at Xie Yuan.

And the other Jinyi guards on both sides of him also pointed their guns at Xie Yuan.

The latter immediately came to his senses, and turned his head to look at Vice Envoy Song bitterly. He was cheated. Although he was indeed damaged by Li Xin's copying of the gentry's land distribution, it was only a small benefit after all, and it was not worth it. Get on with the future.The best choice now is to stop the loss in time. He then waved to the soldiers under him. Those guard soldiers who didn't want to fight at first quickly put away their weapons, and then hurriedly evacuated with Xie who turned his horse's head.On the top of the wall, Deputy Envoy Song watched them go away without tears, and then turned to look at Li Xin who was drinking tea below, who was sitting there looking at him leisurely...

"Deputy Envoy Song, don't you want to come down and talk to me about what's going on?
I'm still confused!

Those people were fugitives whose arrest warrants had been issued by Xiangyang Prefecture. Why were they not arrested when they arrived in Wuchang?
What happened in the middle?
What have people done with it?
Don't you want to talk about it? "

Li Xin said.

Deputy Song stood there awkwardly.

But then he woke up.

"Officer Li Tui, an old man is like a gun, he's just being manipulated by others."

He said with a smile.

"Then you need to be more careful.

Don't worry, Xiaguan is not the kind of ignorant person. I know that you are just following orders. Xiaguan's ancestral home is Shandong, and we are also fellow villagers. "

Li Xin said.

……

Five days later.

The Palace of Martial Arts.

This is now the office of the little princess.

After all, the Qianqing Palace is the residence of the Empress Dowager, and the Daqing Palace is a place for court meetings. Generally, it is not necessary for grand court meetings or ceremonial activities, but there must be a place for daily office work. You can’t send everything to the embassy in Mount Wutai, right?
what does that look like
How could the Great Xia embassy be the place where the Ming government handled government affairs?

Where is the system?

In the end, the Wuying Hall became the ideal choice. Anyway, the Daqing Hall is not far away, and it is only a few steps to the Qianqing Palace, and it is more convenient for the little princess to go in and out of the Xihua Gate.Including her current official title, it has also become the ruler. The empress is young, and the empress dowager supervises the country, but the empress dowager has to take care of the empress, so she entrusts Princess Hanshan to be in power.

In the future, the title of the little princess does not need to be as long as the princess of Hanshan, but the name of the ruler can be used directly.

Of course, this is not an official position.

Daming's official positions are still those, not adding a ruling.

That's a title.

It just so happens that she is also a woman, so there is no inconvenience, that is, she can enter and leave the palace at night, including the Qianqing Palace where the empress dowager lives, and she has a bunch of female officials as subordinates.And the imperial court's contact with her is the Grand Master of Wuyingdian, of course Zhang Xianzong, and he can also be honored as the chief assistant.

He received the ruling order here, and then went back to the cabinet to discuss more details with other grand scholars.

The government affairs of the imperial court are more like the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the cabinet drafted edicts, the ceremonial supervisor issued imperial edicts, six subjects reviewed, and six departments handled affairs. However, unlike the late Ming Dynasty, the current cabinet is purely instrumental, and the specific affairs are all in Wuying. Hall to discuss the decision.The main discussants, Yang Feng, the little princess, and Sister Liu, were like an oligarch meeting, while the participants of the discussion were Zhang Xianzong, Zhang Ying, and Chun Ji, so Zhang Shoufu was at the same level as Ambassador Yang's concubine, and then Zhang Shoufu went back to draft an order.There is no such thing as the cabinet's refusal to draft an edict. After all, they are asked to do this job just to form rules, but it's not like the little princess can't write it herself.As for the six subjects, honestly, it was just to see if there were any grammatical errors, typos and other decorations, and there were only one and three of the six subjects left for Shizhong.

In short, all systems are like the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the monarch above the head really has the final say.

Ambassador Yang is very satisfied with this system.

Originally, this system was already the most perfect in the classical era.

It doesn't get any better.

British cabinet?

The early power of the British cabinet was not as great as that of the contemporary Ming cabinet!
The collapse of the Ming Dynasty was not a matter of the cabinet system.

On the contrary, their cabinet system is still most likely to evolve into the modern cabinet system. In the late Ming Dynasty, the chief minister of the cabinet was already pushed by the court. Although it was still the emperor's decision, it was also the king's decision in Britain at the same time. It is said that when Charles I went to the guillotine, Chongzhen It's been five years since I hung up.

It's just that the evolution process was interrupted, and it became a decoration in our Qing cabinet.

It was later picked up again by the Military Aircraft Department.

But the Military Aircraft Department has no power to restrict the emperor at all.

Essentially backwards.

So now Yang Feng wants to speed up the cabinetization instead.

"So they're joining forces?"

Ambassador Yang looked at the secret report sent by Li Xin.

He is sleepy in power behind him, or maybe he was overworked last night...

Work overwork.

Princess Hanshan, as an unmarried girl, devoted herself to the great Ming Dynasty, which is also very tiring.

Deputy envoy Song confessed the whole incident unreservedly, including that Zheng Ci was sold by him, Hu Guangcheng announced that the political envoy was appointed, and the procuratorial envoy was appointed to command the envoy. The three political and legal troops The system united and tried to strangle the local officials sent by the court.According to their plan, after Li Xin was caught in Wuchang, he would be thrown directly into prison. At the same time, Song Xing went to Jingnan Road to take over Xiangyang as a branch patrol, and then rehabilitated the unjust case and released all the gentry arrested by Li Xin.

As for the imperial court, if Li Xin is ordered to be released, then he will be killed violently in prison.

Anyway, he can't be kept alive.

Kill the chickens to warn the monkeys.

Tell those new scholars who are sent to other places in the future to be honest.

It's true that Yang Feng can't be killed, but they can't be killed, don't be ignorant and put your life on the line, as long as you deter these people and buy them with some money, they will slowly fall into trouble.

very smart.

but……

"They're all dismissed!"

Yang Feng said.

"What crime?"

Zhang Xianzong said in astonishment.

"Clan formation, the three local divisions colluded to frame a government official, what is this not clique formation?"

Yang Feng said.

"Where's the evidence?"

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Isn't Song Xing's statement convincing enough?"

Yang Feng said.

"Song Xing is just a one-sided story, but who can prove that Xue Peng came for those who complained? Who can prove that Huang Xin ordered him to be arrested and was entrusted by Xue Peng? What's more, who can prove that Li Zhigang really participated? There must be evidence, right? Can't Song Xing say yes, not to mention that Song Xing is not present, he is just speculating on his own."

Zhang Xianzong said.

Indeed, in theory, this is just Song Xing's guess.

Although he knew everything, the problem was that he didn't participate in it. He just knew it. Obviously, it could not be used as a basis. Moreover, those plaintiffs went to sue, and the procuratorate received the petition for punishment. If you don't believe me, of course someone will be sent to arrest him.

Huang Xin was right again.

As for Xue Peng and Li Zhigang, they have nothing to do with the case on the surface.

"Did Emperor Taizu ever ask for these?"

The ruling said dissatisfied.

"Uh, Emperor Taizu Gao must at least try to clarify the facts of the case."

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Then arrest them first, and then send them to the Imperial Prison for interrogation. I don't believe that they have entered the Imperial Prison. What else do they refuse to recruit!"

The ruling tyrant said with a wave of his hand.

"Princess, I think it's better to be dismissed directly!"

Zhang Xianzong said sadly.

So sooner or later these three people have to be dismissed. Instead of letting them go to prison to be beaten and then dismissed, it is better to simply dismiss them and let them suffer less.

"Then I entrust you to write the imperial decree."

said the little princess.

Zhang Xianzong became even more depressed.

So he had to make this obviously unreasonable edict reasonable for her. Poorly, he has been scolded as a traitor over the years, and he probably won't be able to take off this hat in the future.

"By the way, why did Song Xing rebel so simply?"

Yang Feng said suddenly.

Deputy Envoy Song's defection was very quick!

"Ambassador, it would be too chilling for you to say that about him. He is from Dezhou, Shandong, and there is no shortage of land in the north. Moreover, he came from a humble background and is not from a wealthy family. By the way, after he called himself Song Taizu, he said that his ancestor He was spared in the Battle of Yashan, and then fled to the north, taking Song as his surname, and kept his name incognito during Hu Yuan. He didn't have much land, and it wasn't worth fighting for it. This time, it should be just because of his duty to patrol Jingnan Road as a branch. .”

Zhang Xianzong said.

"Then this is also after Zhongyi, let's promote him to be the governor of Huguang!"

Yang Feng said.

"Yes, this kind of person has already betrayed the gentry, and he is also a northerner. There is no need to worry about the southern gentry digging his family's grave. He will let him go when he is the governor of Huguang. He has been serving as a deputy envoy in Huguang and is familiar with the place. There is no need to worry about the chaos of local government affairs in Huguang."

The little princess said immediately.

Zhang Shoufu looked sadly at the couple who had known each other for many years. He found that the two had become worse and worse. In the past, it was just a savage and a savage, but now they have the smell of a devil and a witch.It has to be said that Zhu Yunxuan killed his brother, which can be regarded as a pain for the gentry in the world. Zhu Yunxi lived at most to reform gradually, and even had to consider the feelings of the gentry, maybe the reform is only limited.This is inevitable. Zhu Yunxi never thought that he would really push the world's gentry to a dead end. What he wanted was for the gentry to cooperate with him and reform Daming according to his design. But now that these two are replaced, it is no longer a reform at all. It's just pushing the gentry to a dead end, and it's just not giving up until the gentry is played to death.

It can be said that Zhu Yunxi's death made the two finally let themselves go.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

He is not from a wealthy family, his mother just raised him with straw sandals.

And it has nothing to do with the Fujian gentry behind him.

There are no big landlords in Fujian.

There is no way to form a big landlord in that place. Where can I find tens of thousands of acres of land for one person?

As long as Ambassador Yang encourages industry and commerce, the Fujian gentry will not fight over the land issue. In fact, the Fujian gentry is now responding to Ambassador Yang's call to cross the strait to develop a certain island, where there are plains that can be reclaimed.

Moreover, King Liao has already started to build his palace on the island, and it is estimated that he will be able to move there next year at the latest.

The only problem is that there are natives on the island...

Well, this is not a problem for King Liao. After all, with the full support of his sister, his guards have started to change flintlocks.

"Will they resist? After all, we have already revealed our true colors. They can't just sit and wait for death, right? This is not just a matter of these three people, but all civil servants and even some generals have to face it together. We have already It's clear that we won't give them a chance, this dog jumped the wall in a hurry, anyway, they are not powerless to resist, they can't really just stretch their necks like that, waiting for our knife to fall?"

Looking at Zhang Xianzong who left, the little princess came to her senses and said while leaning on Yang Feng's shoulder.

Indeed, they are showing their true colors.

If the behavior of Huang Xin and others was only because they had guessed Yang Feng's purpose, so they had to take action, then with this obvious tyrant-style handling method, it would be considered an admission to dismiss them directly...

We just want to kill the land gentry.

We just want to divide the land.

We don't even pretend.

"Then see if they have the ability."

Yang Feng sneered.

The little princess next to her smiled alluringly, as if possessed by the legendary Daji.
