Daming: The Sims, Lao Zhu’s mentality collapsed

Chapter 31 We give you the command of the Imperial Guard
  When Zhu Di saw Lao Zhu, he was so frightened that he couldn't control his legs and knelt down on the spot.

"My son knows his crime, father, please spare his life!"

Lao Zhu paused. He had no intention of punishing this kid. In his opinion, it was a good thing that the son of Lao Zhu's family was so hot-blooded, but seeing the fourth child admitting his mistake so quickly, he suddenly became playful.

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be unhappy and asked: "Do you know what crime you have committed?"

When Zhu Di saw the old man's gloomy expression, he suddenly felt that what Zhu Xi said was right. This old man was here to kill him!
  His little brain was working rapidly, and he immediately said decisively: "My father wants to kill or behead me, and I will bear the responsibility alone. I just have something to ask for, and I ask my father for permission!"

Lao Zhu became a little interested: "What's the matter?"

Zhu Di said aggrievedly: "I didn't eat enough before I came here. Can my father give me a bowl of rice? My son doesn't want to starve to death."

These words almost made Lao Zhu fall to the ground in anger, his fingers trembling slightly: "Nothing to show for it!"

That’s how this guy became the Yongle Emperor in the simulation!
  As a result, his evaluation of King Wu Zhuji has become higher and higher. How difficult it is to create a prosperous Yongle era with such a procrastinator!
  Lao Zhu took a deep breath, pointed at Zhu Di and said: "Go and kneel by the wall. You have nothing to do today. I will get angry when I see you now!"

"okay."

Zhu Di was overjoyed when he heard this. He ran to the corner and knelt in the corner. He was so comfortable.

Lao Zhu immediately looked at Zhu Xi, his eyes slightly softened: "Lao Wu, you did a good job in the north this time. You have made us proud, and we must reward you well."

Zhu Ru thought to himself, old man, if you really want to reward me, just let me lie down comfortably and stop looking for trouble.

He bowed his hands and said: "Serving the country is the responsibility and obligation of any Ming minister. How can I dare to ask for rewards from my father?"

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite to us. We have always made it clear that our merits are equal. Since we have made contributions, we must reward them. Otherwise, how can we convince the public?"

Zhu Ru felt aggrieved. He really didn't want the reward!
  He just wants to be a little transparent, stay stable in the capital for the past two years, and wait for death when the feudal clan comes.

The more rewards he receives, the greater his popularity will be, and more people will naturally pay attention to him. But he really doesn't want to be in the spotlight, he just wants to be an idle prince!
  Lao Zhu said casually: "I heard that you and Hu Weiyong were very close before?"

Zhu Ju immediately trembled and said quickly: "Those who spread rumors and slander the prince should be killed!"

What words!

Who said this? It’s so vicious!

The relationship between him and Hu Weiyong, which they only exchanged a few words and ended on bad terms, could actually be rumored to be a very close relationship?

The prince who had just performed meritorious service on the border had a close relationship with the current prime minister. If word spread about this, would Zhu Rui still be alive? What will others think of him?

Could it be that His Highness the King of Wu is rebellious?

"Who said this, what was his purpose, and who ordered him to do this?" Zhu Xi said solemnly, "Your Majesty handed this person over to my son, and I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect Lao Wu to react so strongly, and couldn't help but find it a little funny: "We didn't say you and Hu Weiyong got together, why are you panicking?"

Zhu Ting did not dare to let down his guard at all: "Your Majesty, I have looked down upon Hu Weiyong and others the most in my life. How can I manage the government well if I associate with such idiots?"

Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you really look down on Hu Weiyong and the others?"    "Of course it is!" Zhu Ru said firmly.

"Okay, since you said so, I'll give you a chance."

Lao Zhu smiled slightly, "We plan to abolish the current Qinjun Duwei Mansion and Yiluan Division, and replace them with Jin Yiwei. They will be given the purpose of controlling the lawless officials, be in charge of prisons, and given the power of inspection and arrest. And this first Jin Yiwei will be given. Commander, we intend to leave it to you to make the choice."

"We have always suspected that Hu Weiyong is up to no good, so I will leave it to you to investigate thoroughly."

Zhu Ru's expression froze on his face.

The emergence of Jinyiwei means the birth of this secret service agency that carries out the history of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, the Ming Dynasty will enter the stage of spy politics.

In front of this spy agency, both the princes, princes, ministers and the common people all changed their expressions after hearing about it, as if they were avoiding the god of plague. The predecessor of the Imperial Guards, the Duwei Mansion, only served as guards for the twelve imperial guards. Although its status was more noble than other guards, its main task was to be responsible for the emperor's security and to serve as a guard of honor. To put it nicely, it was called the Imperial Guard, but to put it worse, it was actually called the Imperial Guard. That is, high-level security.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the status of Jin Yiwei is obviously not comparable to that of senior security guards. He is not under the jurisdiction of any department and is directly mobilized by the emperor. Although the highest-ranking official is only the commander of the third grade, even the prime minister and even the prince are afraid of his edge.

The main reason is that Jinyiwei has the right to directly arrest, interrogate, and even sentence prisoners without any intervention from the judicial department. As long as you are in Jinyiwei's prison, whether you are guilty or not is not up to you.

Precisely because of their immense power, all the commanders of the Jinyi Guards were lonely ministers. And it is often difficult for lonely ministers to die well.

If Zhu Ting agreed here in a daze, he would offend many people in the court in the future, so he said decisively: "It is really difficult for me to take on such an important task. Please take back my order!"

This is the fucking Jinyiwei!
  Who dares to come next?
  As far as the history of the commanders of the Jinyi Guards in the early Ming Dynasty, Mao Xiang, Jiang Yu, Song Zhong, and Ji Gang, how could any of these brothers die a good death?

Although Lao Zhu did not ask him to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, there was also a problem with the recommendation. During the Hongwu Dynasty, Lao Zhu was best at the "N+1" punishment method.

This N has a high probability of being three, but there is also a probability of nine. The official names are "Yi San Clan" and "Zhu Jiu Clan". Simply put, if one person commits an offense, your whole family will be killed.

Lao Zhu's killing was not as bad as his good son. Although Zhu Zhu would definitely not be involved in the killing of the nine tribes, with Mr. Zhu's implicated temper, it would not be easy in the end anyway.

"You kid..."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Why is it so difficult for us to ask you to do some work?"

Zhu Rui quickly waved his hand: "Father, what is the crime of my son that I should give him such an important responsibility?"

For other princes, the advantages of controlling the Jinyiwei outweigh the disadvantages. Although the Jinyiwei involves too many causes and effects, they also have great power.

However, for Zhu Zhu, who has no interest in government affairs and does not care about power, does this thing have a trade purpose?

Lao Zhu said with a smile: "Son, do you think my father is discussing with you?"

When does Zhu Yuanzhang need other people's consent to do things?
  Everything in the world, as long as he doesn't give it, others can't take it away. As long as he gives it, others have to take it.

The same principle applies to granting death. Does Lao Zhu grant you death, so you don't have to die if you don't want to?
