Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 255 Zhu Ji’s reminder

As soon as Lin Cunde finished speaking, Chen Xun and Gao Gu were sweating on their foreheads!

The question Lin Cunde asked was also a problem they were worried about. Many officials in the court were corrupt, but they had not been dealt with yet!

"Yes, this matter should be dealt with!" Gao Gu immediately answered and said.

Lin Cunde looked at Gao Gu with a sneer and said, "You two are honest officials, not corrupt officials, but what kind of officials do the people need? Do you know?"

Chen Xun and Gao Gu looked at Lin Cunde.

"The people want officials who serve the people, officials who can solve the people's problems! You two are cabinet ministers, who directly give advice to Your Majesty and contact the six ministries! You are the bridge in the middle! But what about you, for those who are corrupt? Officials, have you talked to His Majesty? Have you talked to the Sixth Ministry?" Lin Cunde continued to look at them sarcastically and asked.

Chen Xun fell silent. So far, their cabinet has not provided His Majesty with any suggestions on officialdom.

Lin Cunde ignored them, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued: "You are worried that His Majesty will deal with you, or rather deal with the officials below. To be fair, shouldn't you deal with them? How many people have died in Fuhe, Xiangjiang, and Huaihe rivers? You Do you know? Will they scold you? They are scolding His Majesty! You are not responsible for any crime, and His Majesty will be scolded!

His Majesty has just been on the throne for a year and has not made any big moves! I want to rectify the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, but you are also opposed to it! You all know that the following needs to be rectified, but some people, for their own interests, oppose it! No matter the border defense of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether the people live or die!

But even so, His Majesty has not taken action yet! You should be thankful that your Majesty is merciful! Don’t you know how many officials are lying on their bodies without food, how many officials are drinking the blood of the people and eating the flesh of the people? Do you really not know? "

After hearing this, Chen Xun sighed and said, "We are going to bring this matter up to rectify the administration of officials!"

"Very good!" Lin Cunde nodded and said, "Instead of worrying about how His Majesty will deal with you, you might as well do some facts and do some good deeds. Maybe this will be better!"

"Well, you're right!" Chen Xun nodded, feeling very sad in his heart. He didn't want to rectify it, but he couldn't rectify it. Everyone is his disciple and former official all over the world. If you rectify his subordinates, he will rectify it. Your subordinates, no one dares to move like this. As long as there is a tacit understanding, everyone will be in peace!

But if they were in peace, the people would suffer, and the Ming Dynasty would also die!

At this time, there was another knock on the door. Lin Cunde called out and came in. Wang Chenghai came in and said: "Earl, the Marquis of Wu Qing, the Marquis of Wu An, the Marquis of Cheng An, the Marquis of Taining, and other lords are all here. The concierge will let them in first." Yes, the concierge said, it was like this before!"

"Well, okay, Shibo!" Lin Cunde said and looked at Wang Ying.

Wang Ying had already stood up before Lin Cunde could call. Lin Cunde couldn't greet him now. Wang Ying must have gone to greet them: "I'll take them to the west wing first, and you guys can chat!"

"Okay, thank you, Shibo!" Lin Cunde said with a smile immediately.

Wang Ying smiled and waved her hands and went out!

Wang Chenghai was very nervous and excited today. Before he came here, no one from the palace came to visit, but now, the chief minister of the current cabinet and ministers from the six ministries came to visit. Those ministers could not come in, and now the Ming Dynasty is in the capital. It can be said that most of the distinguished nobles have come over, and they all want to visit their cousin.

No wonder Lin Cunyi said, there are many guests in the house, isn't that too much? There are still many people queuing up outside, wanting to send greetings!

After Wang Ying left, Lin Cunde sighed and said to Chen Xundao: "Mr. Chen Ge, you are an old minister in the court. His Majesty is not kind to everyone, so why bother!"

Chen Xun also sighed and said: "How can I not know about virtue? I came here today just to ask for something. I hope you can take care of the boys in my family. I made a mistake and Your Majesty punished me. I admit it and have no complaints!"

Lin Cunde smiled after hearing this. Unexpectedly, Chen Xun said it anyway!

Chen Xun stared at Lin Cunde, hoping that Lin Cunde would nod.

Lin Cunde didn't want this. The court still needed veterans to be in charge. If Chen Xun was replaced, who would take over? Will the people who go up be like this again? Chen Xun is an upright official, and he knows that the difference between an upright official and a good official is whether he does something or not!

Lin Cunde thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chen Ge, why don't you assist His Majesty? Help His Majesty handle the government affairs well and manage the officials well! Why do you need to say such low words? Mr. Chen Ge, you have been an official for many years, so you should stay. Something?"

After hearing this, Chen Xun looked at Lin Cunde in confusion.

"If I were you, I would have a good talk with His Majesty, talk about the chaos in the court today, talk about the chaos among local officials, talk about the chaos among officials in the DPRK, talk about the root cause of the people's suffering, and talk about the solution. Method!

Maybe there won't be any solution for a while, but as long as you want to solve it, it's better than nothing, right? You can't say that because those officials are scholars, you should defend them! If you protect them, who will protect you? Who will protect the people? Who will protect His Majesty? right? "Lin Cunde looked at Chen Xun and the others and said!

After hearing this, Chen Xun sat there and thought deeply.

Gao Gu nodded from the side, but there was a way. Gao Gu thought, should he try it too? Talk to His Majesty!

The solution is actually very easy, just deal with those officials!

"Well, I'll think about it!" Chen Xun raised his hands to Lin Cunde after a while and said.

"Come, drink tea!" Lin Cunde greeted Chen Xun and said.

"What's my favor?" Chen Xun held the teacup and looked at Lin Cunde and said!

"Let's talk until that day, I won't let you die!" Lin Cunde said with a sigh. "Okay, okay!" Chen Xun felt much more relieved after hearing what Lin Cunde said. After finishing the meal, he put down the tea cup and cupped his hands towards Lin Cunde and said, "I'll take my leave now. You are busy today, and there are still honorable men and women outside. I won’t disturb you anymore, come and sit in my house when you have time!”

"Okay!" Lin Cunde nodded!

After seeing Chen Xun off, Lin Cunde went to the west wing. At this moment, Shi Heng and the others were sitting there talking and laughing. Everyone was very happy!

Lin Cunde came over, and they were even happier!

Lin Cunde ordered Wang Chenghai to prepare a luncheon in the mansion, and told officials outside that there would be no guests today, but there was a distinguished guest at home!

At noon, Lin Cunde entertained them at home and invited them to dinner, but there was still no wine. Lin Cunde did not drink in his house. Although Lin Cunde no longer needed Ding You, Lin Cunde still insisted that there was no drinking in the house.

You all can understand, we don’t drink, we just eat and chat!

They didn't go back until evening, but today's chat also decided a lot of things!

We need to continue to rectify the army. We need to rectify both the Japanese army and the Cao army!

It will start this year!

Moreover, everyone has also agreed that if His Majesty wants to rectify the government, everyone will support it and will never ask for mercy. Moreover, they must stabilize the place and prevent it from becoming chaotic!

In the evening, Lin Cunde sent those people away and returned to his study to sit down, not wanting to make tea anymore.

Just sitting there and relaxing!

Lin Cunli, Lin Cunyi, and Wang Chenghai are all very busy today!

The three of them were busy greeting each other!

"Master, if you are tired, go to bed early!" Qiu Shuang came to Lin Cunde's side and pressed Lin Cunde's head and said.

Lin Cunde shook his head and said: "It's too early! I'll just lean on you for a while!"

After a while, Wang Chenghai came again, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said: "Earl, there is a man outside who calls himself Zhu Ji and asks to see him. The concierge said that this person is a good friend of the earl!"

"Well, Zhu Ji is back, come in quickly!" Lin Cunde said to Wang Chenghai as soon as he heard that Zhu Ji was coming.

Soon, Zhu Ji was taken to Lin Cunde's study. When he saw Lin Cunde leaning there, Zhu Ji quickly went over and cupped his hands and said: "I would like to express my belated congratulations to the Earl!"

Lin Cunde smiled and pointed to the chair opposite and said, "You find a place to sit by yourself and make tea by yourself. I'm exhausted today and I drank tea all day long!"

"Hey, thank you, Earl!" Zhu Ji was very happy when he heard what Lin Cunde said. This meant that he was not alienated from him.

"Why don't you call me Earl? Just call me Cunde. There's no need to live like this!" Lin Cunde corrected Zhu Ji.

"Then I'm not welcome. If there are no outsiders, I'll call you Brother Cunde. If there are outsiders, I'll call you Earl!" Zhu Ji sat down with a smile and started making tea by himself.

"I haven't seen you for a few months. I guess you were sent out by His Majesty. I won't ask you what you did! I haven't seen you and Zhang Yong for a long time!" Lin Cunde leaned there and said with a smile.

"Well, I came back less than ten days before you. I don't know where Zhang Yong went. But something big is probably going to happen on my side. It's not me. I'm talking about what I'm investigating. Anyway Just be prepared mentally!" Zhu Ji said with a smile.

"Something big happened?" Lin Cunde sat up straight and stared at Zhu Ji.

"Well, I can't say what it is specifically, I haven't said it to anyone! However, I estimate that many people will not be able to sleep, and many people will be exiled. Anyway, Brother Cunde, this time, I have thought about it for a long time, and I feel Don't do this at that time, it's too offending!" Zhu Ji nodded and said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde narrowed his eyes and glanced at Zhu Ji, already guessing in his mind that Zhu Ji might have gone downstairs to investigate the officials, and he probably found a big problem.

"Well, I am a military general. I only lead troops in battle. The rest has nothing to do with me!" Lin Cunde nodded and continued to lean back.

"I still want to congratulate you. You are probably going to be ennobled this time. It's basically a certainty! I didn't expect that after I haven't seen you for more than two months, you would actually be ennobled and win a big victory. People often say that Shibie I have been treating you with admiration for three days, but you made me pick out my eyeballs like this!" Zhu Ji joked to Lin Cunde, and Lin Cunde also laughed.

"Well, don't get too close to civil servants recently!" Lin Cunde leaned there and reminded Zhu Ji.

Zhu Ji nodded, didn't he know this yet? Yu Qian also reminded him, so he nodded and said: "My father-in-law said that he is very busy now, so he asked me to say something. When the work is over, my father-in-law will treat you to a meal at home!"
