"Your Majesty!"
Cao Jixiang thought for a long time: "I make a bold guess, I'm afraid I won't be able to find out."
"How do you say that?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Chen Ji, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, can only be regarded as a scapegoat."
"Tell me how terrifying the power behind this is?"
"When this memorial is sent to the palace, I'm afraid nothing will be found in the time it takes to come and go."
Cao Jixiang obviously believes that Chen Ji is just the tip of the iceberg.
Regardless of whether he is Dai Ying or not, Dai Ying is just an ordinary member of this force.
I looked deeper and couldn't find it.
Cao Jixiang even suspected that this was the mysterious force that deliberately showed it to the emperor to warn him.
"Then let's just let it go?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.
"Of course not!"
"My servant speculates that this force is closely related to the civil service group."
"As long as the emperor puts up a fight, they will naturally beg you for mercy."
Cao Jixiang and Zhu Qiyu wanted to go together.
This is a retreat.
But Cao Jixiang said that Zhu Qiyu had only one way to go.
"Does King Mobei know that this force exists?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Cao Jixiang nodded slightly.
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank.
"Back to your Majesty, after Prince Mobei took over the throne, he noticed that there was a force that was adding fuel to the flames, but he was just chasing rumors and there was no real evidence."
Cao Jixiang said: "Wang Zhen discovered it and reported it to King Mobei, but it was too late at that time."
"In the fourteenth year of Zhengtong, the King of Mobei ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate."
"As a result, after further investigation, the Tumubao Incident occurred..."
"Wang Zhen was hammered to death, and Ma Shun, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, shed blood in the Fengtian Palace. How much was found and how much was found, the servants do not know."
"I only know that Ma Shun suspected Xing'an, and something happened while he was still investigating."
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank: "Xing'an? Whose person is he?"
"Back to your lord, this servant has never been able to figure out who Xing'an belongs to."
Cao Jixiang said: "But as soon as the imperial examination fraud case came out, the servants suspected that he was from the civil service group."
"how to say?"
Cao Jixiang listed the several times that Xing'an influenced the court situation one by one.
The first time was in the seventh year of Zhengtong, when the Empress Dowager Zhang died and returned to Zhu Qizhen. He made great efforts.
The second time, in the 14th year of Zhengtong, he opposed the southward migration and supported Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne.
The third time was to seize the goal. He seemed not to be involved, but in fact he turned a blind eye and helped Zhu Qizhen deliver the news.
Sometimes he seemed to be on the emperor's side;
Sometimes it seems like I am on the side of the Queen Mother;
Sometimes they sway between the Zhu Qiyu brothers.
Even Queen Mother Sun and King Mobei couldn't figure out who he belonged to.
"Your Majesty, before this I only considered the royal family."
"But I never considered civil service."
"In the 14th year of Orthodoxy, after Tumubao, Xing'an seemed to have finalized the issue of moving south, but in fact it was a gesture of goodwill to the northern civil servants."
"In the end, the proposal to move south was abandoned, and the northern bureaucracy won."
"After that, Xing'an surpassed Jin Ying and Li Yongchang in one fell swoop and became the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department, wielding power over both the government and the public."
Cao Jixiang didn't dare to tell the truth.
Those who were opposed to moving south now have power in both the government and the public.
He can't afford to offend.
The three people who initially opposed moving the capital were Hu Hui, Yu Qian and Chen Xun.
And those who agreed to move south, Wang Zhi, Gao Gu, Jiao Jing, Tu Qian, etc., where are they now?
"You mean, Xing'an is the representative of the civil service group?"
Cao Jixiang nodded.
Zhu Qiyu thought about it and said, "Are you suspecting that the defeat of Tumubao is related to the investigation of the case by King Mobei?"
"I don't dare to speculate." Cao Jixiang really didn't dare to say anything.
Because the implications behind this matter are too great.
In the 14th year of Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen ordered Wang Zhen and Ma Shun to investigate the matter. Ma Shun investigated Xing'an, but was defeated by Tumubao.
And this Xing'an is the representative of the civil servant group.
How terrible.
This force has existed since the Zhengtong years. When was it established?
Xuande period?
Or was it during the Hongxi period?
Could it be the last years of Yongle?
Did Renzong and Xuanzong discover it?
"So you advised me not to investigate?"
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "When Xing'an was bent on death, I knew that he was full of secrets, but he was unwilling to serve me."
"Now that I think about it, it's not that he was afraid of me, but that some people told him to shut up and he had to die."
"That night, I killed too many people outside Fengtian Gate."
"It's miraculous that I can survive until now."
"Cao Jixiang, what are you talking about?"
Cao Jixiang was trembling and he didn't dare to answer it at all.
"The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could not live past the age of forty. The wiser the monarch, the sooner he will die!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Cao Jixiang, believe it or not, even if King Mobei sits on this throne, he will not live to be forty!"
"I don't know if I can survive another death disaster?"
Cao Jixiang touched the ground with his forehead and kept trembling.
Who dares to answer this?
"I want to expand the patrol camp."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I want to live, but I'm also afraid of death."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "You did a very good job in the temple."
"I send nearly one million taels of silver to the palace every month."
"The power of the patrol camp will spread throughout the country."
"The money for incense in temples all over the world must go into my internal funds."
"The Tiqi is useless."
"I plan to leave all the streets in Beijing to you."
"If there is any disturbance in the capital, you must report it to the palace from time to time."
"I want to know about anyone and anything in this capital."
"Can it be done?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Cao Jixiang.
This task is too difficult.
How can Beijing, with a population of hundreds of thousands, manage everything in detail?
But will the emperor keep an eye on the people?
It’s just the group of people in the court, plus their servants and relatives, who make it impossible for them to escape. Is there anything they can’t do?
"This slave will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed.
"Recruit more people and use all the ruffians in Beijing."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister: "Withhold 50,000 taels of silver every month for funding. I want to see a clean capital."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Send Cao Jixiang away.
Zhu Qiyu fell into deep thought.
Could Yu Qian be from this force?
What exactly does this force exist for?
But their roots are in the civil service group.
Can the military group become a new group to compete with the civilian group?
Zhu Qiyu thought a lot and fell asleep.
Go to court the next day.
Zhu Qiyu grimaced and glanced at His Majesty Dan: "This Dai Ying gang can actually manipulate the imperial examination. What do they think of Gong Gong?"
"Check! Check for me!"
"Go and capture the nine Chen Ji clansmen first, one at a time!"
"Until we find out!"
The courtiers fell to their knees.
"His Majesty!"
Geng Jiuchou said loudly: "It is inevitable to investigate Dai Ying, but how should we deal with the tens of thousands of people in the Gongyuan?"
"What do you think?" Zhu Qiyu asked him.
"Wei Chen thinks that the question is invalid! Let's start the exam again!" Geng Jiuchou said loudly.
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "You mean to open the Gongyuan? Release those monsters and monsters?"
Geng Jiuchou smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no other way."
"The examination room is cramped, and there are buckets for eating, drinking, and eating."
"On a hot day, staying for three days is barely enough, but if you stay for ten or eight days..."
"Wei Chen is worried that he will drive Juzi crazy."
This is true.
"But I don't believe it. Only five or six people participated in the cheating." Zhu Qiyu was noncommittal.
"Wei Chen doesn't believe it either."
Geng Jiuchou said: "Wei Chen thinks that we can let the students finish answering the questions first."
"I'll take the make-up exam in a few days."
"Then compare the answers to the two exams."
"If the difference between the two exams is too large, it will be regarded as a problem, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be sent to investigate."
This method can make Dai Ying Group disappear invisible.
Can the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate its own people?
Zhu Qiyu pondered.
"Your Majesty, what Geng Shangshu said is true."
Hu Xi could only speak out of help: "The court will pay great attention to this imperial examination fraud case."
"After vigorous renovation by the court."
"The next make-up test will be fair."
"The old minister suggested that your majesty could grant me a favor and admit a group of more students."
Hu Hui's subtext is that all the students admitted this year are clean and can be emperors.
Zhu Qiyu was not satisfied with this political reward.
Bringing this matter to Fengtian Palace showed that the emperor did not want to quarrel, but wanted to make a political deal.
Just exchange for benefits.
"His Majesty!"
"The cabinet just received good news from Datong!"
Ye Sheng stood up and said: "Sun Yuanzhen, the Minister of War, commanded the six towns, and Guo Deng, the general of Datong, defeated Timur's cavalry!"
"Kill more than 50,000 enemies and recruit 60,000 surrender."
"Among them are 12,000 elite soldiers, more than 70,000 fine horses, more than 50,000 family members, and countless supplies."
"The official news will arrive tomorrow!"
Ye Sheng's words immediately caused cheers in Fengtian Hall.
However, Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on it, was not happy at all.
Ye Sheng, Geng Jiuchou, and Hu Hui were all in the same group.
Even Sun Yuanzhen, who was far away in Datong, was from the same group.
The civil servant group will not become the emperor's people after all.
Zhu Qiyu shuddered.
The good news about Datong was delivered against time.
It was simply because they were worried that the emperor would go crazy in the Fengtian Palace today and a river of blood would flow out, so he used good news to silence the emperor.
If there is an in-depth investigation, will the border border be defeated?
Re-enact the defeat of Tumubao?
Even while in the palace, he would become seriously ill and die for no apparent reason.
In the eyes of the emperor, this was a flexing of muscles by the civil service group.
Tell him that if he doesn't obey, the consequences will be serious.
Can Yu Qian, who is also a civil servant, really be reliable? Can he side with the emperor?
"When was the report delivered?" Zhu Qiyu asked reluctantly.
He should have been happy about the victory, but he was not happy at all.
Instead, fear arose.
Just like when Chen Xun was killed, there was a sudden flood in Shandong, and the disaster was used to save Chen Xun.
Today, it’s the same story.
"Your Majesty, it was sent to the cabinet late last night." Ye Sheng replied calmly and presented the good news.
This is Sun Yuanzhen's personal letter.
It was not written by the victorious general Guo Deng.
This is the civil service clique flexing its muscles.
Zhu Qiyu has ten lines in one eye.
Sun Yuanzhen made it clear that the origin of this cavalry was indeed from the army of Timur Khanate.
After the death of Emperor Timur the Great, the Timur Khanate fell into civil war.
The endless civil war lasted for more than fifty years, and the entire Khanate was killed in rivers of blood.
But the war is not over yet.
This cavalry was recruited by the Tatar Khan Mark Gurgis, so they traveled thousands of miles, hoping to enter Tatar territory and return to their hometown.
When Zhu Qiyu saw this, he found it interesting. Two profuse sweats appeared in Tatar.
In fact, the legal traditions of Mantulu and Makoguljis come from the same person, Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
Mantulu is the younger brother of Tuotuobuhua, and Marco Gurgis is the youngest son of Mantulu.
Mantulu was a great khan supported by several tribes, and he was not a legitimate Mongol great khan.
The same goes for Marco Guergis, who was also supported by several tribes.
In the Ming Dynasty, Marco Guergis was called the little prince.
The little prince wanted to introduce Timur's cavalry, probably to make them his own cowardly troops and regain power.
He even wanted to attack Mantulu and become the legitimate Tatar Khan.
Sun Yuanzhen told in detail the entire process of the battle.
Zhu Qiyu ignored them all and put the letter on the imperial desk.
What a coincidence that this good news arrived at the right time.
"Sun Yuanzhen did a good job."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Escort the prisoners to Beijing..."
"Your Majesty, the previous plan was to place it in Liaodong." Hu Hui interrupted.
Zhu Qiyu stared at him.
But Hu Xi insisted: "Your Majesty, the food from the north cannot supply the capital."
"So I don't agree to escort the prisoners to Beijing."
"It's better to settle in Liaodong as soon as possible. Don't worry about how many court officials starve to death."
In the eyes of the courtiers, the captives were just a big burden and nothing more than a source of food.
Only the emperor wanted to expand the territory, but the ministers did not.
To put it bluntly, courtiers only care about their own land and don't care about the living space of future generations.
etc!
Hu Xi wanted to use military expansion to eliminate the impact of the imperial examination fraud case on civil servants.
This old guy is full of bad ideas.
"Old Master, please get up first."
Zhu Qiyu asked someone to bring the map: "Old Master, how do you see it?"
"My veteran agrees that the border between China and North Korea will be moved northward!"
Hu Xi stood up slowly, pointed at the map and said, "I thought that by re-establishing the Kaiping Guards, I could place the Timur cavalry in Kaiping."
"The border line of Liaodong can also be pushed northward to the Huanghe River to build a city."
"But I'm afraid there won't be enough money and food this year."
"Let's wait until spring next year. I will support your majesty in the northern expedition against the Tatars, push the border to the Huanghe River, and use the water of the Huanghe River as the border to station troops."
Hu Hui also had no choice but to do so.
The imperial examination fraud case brought the hidden forces to the surface.
The emperor must not be allowed to investigate further.
This is also protecting the emperor.
Therefore, he is willing to send some people out of Beijing on the grounds of pushing the border, and then come back after the limelight has passed.
This is the best of both worlds.
If the emperor wants to be the Yongle Emperor, then let him make it happen. After the emperor has passed a hundred years, there is nothing wrong with giving up. It is not like the Ming Dynasty has never done this before.
"Push it to Huanghe River?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you think you can hold on?"
"As long as Daming is willing to defend, it will naturally be able to defend."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he became interested.
He walked off Danbi and stood in front of the map: "Then simply take the land of Duoyan Sanwei and push it to Xing'an Mountains! What do you think?"
Can Hu Hui say no?
Now you just say that you should be pushed to the fishing sea, and he has no objection.
"But along the way, we have to build cities, repair roads, immigrate, recruit troops for garrison, and educate foreign races. I'm afraid a huge amount of money will be invested. This..."
Your Majesty, you have gone too far.
Where can we get money?
"Your Majesty, you are good at managing money. You can only worry about money." Hu Hui was determined not to pay.
Zhu Qiyu's face turned gloomy: "The internal funds are also empty, and I have nothing to do."
"I have been reading Taizong's Records recently."
"I also want to learn from Emperor Taizong's method of recruiting money and food."
"After all, what I do is for the sake of the country and the expansion of the territory, not for my own merit!"
"Just spread it out."
"Let the people gather themselves, and the grain chiefs who can't collect money or food will kill all the clansmen!"
"What do you think, old lady?"
Hu Bi closed her eyes, her face full of despair: "Your Majesty is killing the goose that lays the goose to obtain the egg!"
"It's not like I've never done it before!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were blazing: "Anyway, I don't have a son, so I can only focus on my achievements."
"Otherwise, when I die, I will be removed from the Ancestral Temple."
"Future generations don't even know that there is an emperor like me."
"My lords, are you right?"
hiss!
The courtiers gasped, damn Zhang Jin, why did you curse the emperor to have no children?
It's okay this time.
The emperor used his son as a raft to torture the courtiers.
"Your Majesty, your dragon body is healthy and you will be able to give birth to a dragon heir!" All the ministers bowed.
"If the prince listens to your words, I'm afraid you will all be liquidated when I die." Zhu Qiyu laughed proudly.
This emperor looks like a child.
However, what the emperor meant was that the territory would be extended outwards, and the money and food would be collected by the courtiers, and the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts would be transferred, leaving the internal funds alone.
The wishful thinking was crackling.
"Your Majesty, don't talk about life and death lightly!"
Ye Sheng said loudly: "Your Majesty is the king and father of my ministers. With your Majesty here, I and others will have the opportunity to display their talents, so please keep your dragon body intact!"
The ministers followed up and advised the emperor to take care of the dragon body.
"I see the loyalty of all the gentlemen."
"But I have not seen the loyalty of the gentry in the world."
"Let the gentry from all over the world contribute one hundred taels of silver each to supply the north. What do you think?"
The emperor suspected that the gentry was behind that force.
So small punishments and big warnings.
I'm also throwing stones to ask for directions. Will these gentry kill me suddenly for a hundred taels of silver?
"Your Majesty, the money can be fined, but the minister is worried that the money will be passed on to the common people by the gentry." Geng Jiuchou said.
"What plan do you have to get the best of both worlds?" Zhu Qiyu refused to give up even if he didn't want the money.
"Your Majesty, I think this money should be paid by merchants!"
The gentry cannot be disturbed. If the gentry is disturbed, the foundation of the country will be disturbed.
But merchants are fat sheep.
"You are naughty." Zhu Qiyu sneered twice and walked up to Danbi.
What this means is that all the merchants’ money comes from internal funds. Do you dare to fight for it?
This is not a good thing for the monarch and his ministers!
"Your Majesty, you can order the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise." Wang Hong whispered.
Here comes another ruthless person.
Wang Hong is a new cabinet minister.
His first fire was on the emperor, and his second fire was on the gentry. You are going crazy, Wang Hong! Do you want a posthumous name?
Zhu Qiyu looked sideways. It was Wang Hong who beat Ma Shun to death.
He thought Wang Hong was the one with mysterious power.
However, he supported the emperor's forced levy of money from the gentry, which was tantamount to saying that he was secluded from the gentry class.
Does he really want to be Wei Zheng?
"Gentlemen!"
Wang Hong looked around and said loudly: "Recalling the Yongle Dynasty, people in the world destroyed their homes to relieve difficulties and maintained the court, and only then could the prosperity of Yongle be achieved."
"Today, the country has expanded its territory and restored the prosperous age of Yongle."
"When the people of the world are cheering, they naturally want to share the worries and solve the problems for the court."
"The Great Ming Dynasty is not the Great Ming Dynasty of one family, but the Great Ming Dynasty of all people in the world!"
Wang Hong made a loud noise.
These words entered Zhu Qiyu's heart.
Taizu and Taizong regarded the gentry as leeks. This is why the Hongwu and Yongle dynasties were fighting every day, but their national treasury was very rich.
Every time Gein fought, he passed on the consumption to the gentry.
Captured and returned to the court.
Of course, whether the gentry will be passed on to the common people is invisible to the higher-ups.
The gentry class was cut off from their flesh, and the military class continued to grow stronger by sucking blood.
Later, the military class was unable to be contained, so Taizu took action and supported the gentry class. From then on, the gentry class was restored.
The gentry class was formed in the Jianwen and Yongle dynasties.
Jianwen abolished his martial arts. In order to gain legal authority, Taizong gave benefits to the gentry class, and the gentry class suppressed the military class.
Once Tumubao was defeated, the military class disappeared, and the gentry family became the dominant force, which could not be contained at all.
Moreover, the country was so dilapidated at that time, with few people and few resources.
Looking at now, the population is abundant and supplies are sufficient, but it is difficult to even expand the territory.
Where did the money go?
Where did the leeks go?
Everyone knows it.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to pick up the tactics of the Yongle Dynasty and cut the gentry like leeks.
See if you are obedient?
If you don't obey, it's you, I will kill you all!
"good!"
"Wangge Lao said this to seek for the country."
“Creating new territory and expanding the territory is a grand event that will be remembered for eternity!”
"While the whole people are rejoicing, they naturally have to contribute."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The order was sent to Sun Yuanzhen to place the prisoners in Kaiping Guard."
"All participants in this battle will be rewarded based on their merits."
"Order Sun Yuanzhen to rebuild the Kaiping Guard, organize all the prisoners into the guard, and move them into military households. After the construction is completed, they will return to the capital."
"Everything is under the direct control of the Military Aircraft Department."
"Um……"
Zhu Qiyu pondered slightly: "Those people probably don't know Chinese, but they have to learn it."
"Let's see, the Hanlin Academy will give you 60,000 names."
"Give it to me."
"Build a training center under the Ministry of Rites and recruit a group of teachers from the candidates who failed this year to educate and educate the Timurid people in Kaiping."
"A person is appointed as an edict for a period of three years."
"Three years later, Enke will be given."
"If the candidate succeeds in the Jingtai Eleventh Annual Examination, he will be promoted first and included in his political achievements."
Zhu Qiyu said: "From now on, this will become a custom-made practice. Every year, teachers will be recruited from the failed candidates and sent to the border to teach the natives, barbarians, and barbarians."
"Tell Sun Yuanzhen again to destroy all the writings of the Timur Khanate."
"Prisoners are only allowed to read and speak Chinese. They are not allowed to speak their language, let alone write their characters. Those who write will be punished!"
Zhu Qiyu wants to cut off the roots of their culture.
In the future, he will destroy the world's writing and leave only Chinese characters, so that long-term peace and stability can be achieved.
"Your Majesty, is this an extreme move?" Hu Hu frowned.
Zhu Qiyu shook his head firmly: "Old Master, people's hearts are hard to control. We can make them surrender, but they may not really be willing to naturalize."
"So, we must use harsh methods."
"Instruct the Ministry of Punishment again to revise the law."
"Give these prisoners three years. Those who cannot speak a hundred words of Chinese will be killed!"
Wang Hong actually nodded: "Wei Chen believes that what your Majesty said is true."
"Hulu are just beasts."
"Letting him learn Chinese is a gift from the Holy Qiankun."
"How can you waste your gift and learn the language of beasts?"
Zhu Qiyu discovered that Wang Hong was a Han nationalist.
There are even many people in the court who have this kind of thinking.
After all, many people in the court had experienced the glory of the Yongle Dynasty.
Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty is in decline, it is still prosperous.
The Han people still have a lot of energy in their hearts and look down upon the integrity of the world.
This integrity is the last glory of the Han people, and it will never be seen again...
"Wang Hong is right."
"For me, opening up new territories is not the goal."
"To be gentle to the people and Chineseize them is what I want to do."
"I hope that the Ming Dynasty will shine brightly on the earth!"
"The brilliant Han people are the masters of the land under the sun!"
Zhu Qiyu said loudly: "So, Huairou and Chineseization are the top priorities!"
"In the Taizong era, there was barbaric development."
“The late emperor and the King of Mobei should have embraced and transformed the wild land into a livable and fertile land.”
"But although more than thirty years have passed, I am here to inherit the great cause of Emperor Taizong."
"I can have no son, but I cannot remain unknown in the history books!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly.
"I am willing to accompany Your Majesty to complete the eternal merits!" The ministers kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, for such a great victory, the whole world should be celebrated and granted amnesty." Song Yan added.
The courtiers all nodded.
Sun Yuanzhen defeated an army of 120,000 barbarians. Although it was bragging, it was a great victory that had not happened in a long time.
Universal celebration is never too much.
"I second my opinion." All the ministers commented one after another.
However, they did not see that the emperor's face was as gloomy as water.
"The court has won a great victory, and the whole world should indeed celebrate it."
"but!"
"What does this have to do with those sinners?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will grant amnesty to the whole world; after winning a great victory, he will grant pardon to the whole world; when the emperor gives birth to a son, he will grant pardon to the whole world!"
"My lords, have you ever thought about what good people who are harmed by sinners think in their hearts?"
"Why should we give benefits to these sinners when the court does good things?"
"They have already committed a crime, why should they enjoy the dividends from the court?"
"Why!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted loudly.
The ministers were so frightened that they knelt on the ground. No one understood the emperor's thinking.
Isn’t this a system that has been passed down thousands of years ago?
When something good happens in the world, it is natural that the whole world should celebrate it. Isn’t it right to grant amnesty to the whole world?
"Crime deserves punishment!"
"Otherwise, what's the point of setting up the law?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
He simply couldn't understand the brain circuits of the ancients.
Doesn't this encourage crime?
Don't be afraid if you commit a crime. When the emperor dies and the new emperor comes to the throne, he will be granted amnesty.
It seems to tell them that you can continue to do evil.
Is there any good in this world?
"Your Majesty, this is an ancient practice. The Zhou Dynasty clearly stated three forgiveness and three pardons."
Hu Hui said seriously: "Since the beginning of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, it has been implemented to this day. This is custom-made."
“What about customization?”
"Then change it!"
"Cross out Amnesty for me today!"
"The kings of future generations will not grant amnesty to the whole world!"
"You have committed a crime and cannot be forgiven!"
Zhu Qiyu was furious.
Even the courtiers could not understand that this was a deep-rooted thought. Could it be that Zhou Li wrote it wrong?
You, the emperor, are so pretentious.
"Even after I ascended the throne, I gave two amnesties to the world, but they were all cancelled!"
"Catch all those who have been pardoned!"
"Amnesty to the whole world, it will end with me!"
When Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, he granted amnesty to the whole country for the first time.
When the crown prince was established, the world was amnesty for the second time.
He is definitely a foolish king!
Why can those prisoners be pardoned?
How come no one puts themselves in the perspective of the victim and considers the problem?
"Your Majesty, you have issued a decree of amnesty, how can you go back on your word?" Yu Shiyue was stunned. He had never experienced this before.
"Then do I need to issue an edict to sin against myself?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp.
Yu Shiyue quickly kowtowed: "I don't dare!"
"Shut up if you don't dare! If you can't speak, don't speak!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Those criminals will be stationed at the border and sent to Kaipingwei."
I understand, the emperor has made it clear that he wants to immigrate.
Immigration, in this era, is equivalent to letting the people die, so the people are very, very resistant to immigration.
"Who has any opinions?" Zhu Qiyu looked around at the ministers.
No one spoke, but no one understood the emperor's mind.
The court's amnesty is nothing more than telling people in the world that something good has happened. As for who is guilty and who is not guilty, in the eyes of the higher-ups, it doesn't matter at all.
Do people care about two ants fighting?
If an ant breaks another ant's leg, what does it have to do with people?
"The Ministry of Punishment began to revise the Ming Law."
"This Ming law was revised by Taizu, and was partially modified by the Yongle Dynasty and is still in use today."
"But many of the provisions are very outdated."
"From now on, the Ming Dynasty Code will be compiled and revised every year. The law must be strict and the country must be governed strictly."
actually.
The Ming Dynasty Law compiled by Taizu was too bloody.
The kings of later generations are constantly deleting and amending the laws, and the laws are constantly being relaxed.
In today's society, conflicts are acute, and the court should forgive sinners and provide a relaxed social environment for the people.
but.
Since the Jingtai Dynasty, they have fought two great victories, first defeating Oala and then Timur, and their martial arts skills are as close as those of the Xuande Dynasty.
Victory in the war can alleviate conflicts, or at least hide them temporarily.
Zhu Qiyu wanted to compile the Ming Dynasty Code.
There are two considerations. First, the law is too lenient and is not conducive to immigration. He wants to enforce strict laws and then use forced immigration to reduce the sentences of criminals.
Secondly, the Ming law is too rough and outdated, and new methods are needed.
Since it is a change, new methods must be used, which are complementary.
"Your Majesty, the Qin Dynasty died with strictness, and the Han Dynasty continued with leniency. Please rule the country with leniency," Ye Sheng said.
"Strict laws must be enforced, but we can atone for our sins by forging borders."
"If you are unwilling to immigrate, you can serve your sentence locally."
“Those who are willing to immigrate will be exempted from any culpability and their land will be returned to them.”
Zhu Qiyu said: "But the law must be strict!"
Ye Sheng was speechless.
Your method... is absolutely brilliant!
"My lords, there must be no more amnesties for the world."
"In the future, no matter whether the new king comes to the throne or there is any good thing celebrated by the whole world, there will never be a general amnesty for the whole world."
"Don't use these good deeds as an excuse to lessen the guilt of sinners!"
"If you commit a crime, you must serve your sentence and accept the punishment."
"Qin Yi died violently, but if Qin didn't enforce strict laws, how could he unify China?"
"This matter is no longer up for debate."
Zhu Qiyu said: "All the ministers are well-educated people. They compile the law. All the ministers must participate in it and give advice to Yu Shiyue. I want to establish strict laws so that the people will be afraid when they see the laws."
"I obey the order!" The ministers had no objection.
That's part of the deal.
The emperor made the imperial examination fraud case a trivial matter, in exchange for the expansion of territory and the revision of laws.
The political deal is over.
Zhu Qiyu was on his way down to court: "Feng Xiao, go and tell Xu Gan to arrest Liu Sheng and interrogate him secretly. Once you get the information, you don't have to keep it. Just say that he committed suicide out of fear of crime."
"My slave obeys the order!"
What scares Zhu Qiyu is that Liu Sheng, whom he is optimistic about, is a member of that force.
How many other people have participated in examination fraud?
As for the fraud in the rural examinations, there is no trace of it at all. There are too many. How many of those candidates are really talented and learned?
"Your Majesty..."
"This matter ends here, so Shu Liang does not need to investigate further." Zhu Qiyu warned.
"This slave obeys the order." Feng Xiao knew that this matter could no longer be investigated.
Return to Qianqing Palace.
Qin Cheng sent an urgent report: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Guangzhou Shipping Department."
Zhu Qiyu opened it and looked at it, and he was immediately happy.
Won!
Liu Yu led his troops to catch Fo Langji off guard.
One ship was sunk and seven captured.
There are more than a hundred French muskets, five artillery pieces, and several boats of potatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes, etc., too numerous to count.
More than 200 people have been captured and are being transported to the capital.
"Okay! Big reward, big reward for Liu Yu!"
Zhu Qiyu beamed with joy: "This Liu Yu knows how to fight, so he will be rewarded heavily!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!" The people of Qianqing Palace knelt down to congratulate.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu brushed off the bad luck and said with a happy expression: "Look, I just told you that Fo Lang's blunderbuss is more powerful than ours."
"Liu Yu was immersed in the scene and was deeply touched."
"This time we can imitate it!"
"When it arrives in the capital, take it to the Fengtian Palace and show it to the court officials. I told them before, but they don't believe it."
"Fo Langji's ship is left in the shipyard, so the craftsmen can see whether our ship is better or their ship."
Zhu Qiyu was very happy.
"There are too many people named Liu Yu. Cao Jixiang has Liu Yu under his command, and there are several Liu Yu in the palace."
"I gave Liu Yu a name, and he will be called Liu Zhenhai."
"My servant treats Liu Yu, oh, Liu Zhenhai thanks the emperor for your kindness!" Feng Xiao knelt on the ground.
"You are naughty! Hahaha!" Zhu Qiyu laughed.
There has been a lot of good news lately.
We gathered the soldiers of the Timur Khanate and captured Fo Langji's ship. We gained a lot.
The Ming Dynasty's national strength is recovering.
"Go and urge Liu Zhenhai to speed up and enter Beijing. All the ships along the way will give way to him. I want to see Fo Lang's gun as soon as possible."
When Zhu Qiyu is happy.
Gongyuan.
Shu Liang was wondering, how did Hu Xin die?
Chen Ji is Dai Ying. How did he send the message outside the hospital when he was in the hospital?
"Fan Qing, what do you think?" Shu Liang discovered that Fan Qing is a talent in solving crimes.
Fan Qing said respectfully: "Returning to the factory, I think Chen Ji is the scapegoat and the real Dai Ying is hidden in Gongyuan."
"Inside the hospital?" Shu Liang asked.
"I think it's in the courtyard."
Fan Qing analyzed: "Bi Yu said that Dai Ying did not receive his letter before the exam."
"It means Dai Ying is not in the inn."
"The only place isolated from the outside world is Gongyuan."
"When you enter the Gongyuan from the title, the Gongyuan will be locked and no entry or exit is allowed."
"So, I guess Dai Ying is in the courtyard."
"Moreover, he first killed Hu Xin and then asked Chen Ji to be his scapegoat. This perfectly concealed his existence."
Fan Qing's analysis makes sense.
Shu Liang nodded slightly: "Who do you suspect?"
"Mr. Factory, we may have entered a misunderstanding."
Fan Qing said seriously: "We have been thinking that Dai Ying is a person."
"Then have you ever thought that Dai Ying is a lot of people?"
Shu Liang's eyes lit up: "Speak carefully."
"Think about it. When we interrogated Hu Xin, Hu Xin's eyes flashed and he used one secret to hide another. It was obvious that he still had many secrets that he had not told."
"And from Bi Yu's words, Dai Ying is a very powerful person."
"But think about it, can one person do these things?"
Shu Liang said: "What if there is only one Dai Ying and the others are just Dai Ying's subordinates?"
Fan Qing shook his head: "Mr. Factory, Dai Ying is just a code name, not the real name."
Shu Liang suddenly realized.
Yes, Dai Ying is just a code name, who wouldn’t use it?
"Go on."
Fan Qing said yes, and then analyzed: "When Yang Darong was being interrogated, I was wondering if many people share the same Dai Ying?"
"Then Hu Xin died!"
"Our repeated investigations have not found the source of the poison."
"From beginning to end, Hu Xin never had contact with anyone else."
"This shows that Hu Xin is the insider, so he is Dai Ying."
"And Chen Ji just left the court and turned around and committed suicide."
"The entire Gongyuan is under Dongchang's nose. How did he, Chen Ji, avoid such eyes and commit suicide?"
"And that Yang Darong, why did Chen Ji die just after he identified her?"
"So, I suspect that Hu Xin, Yang Darong, and Chen Ji are all Dai Ying!"
"There is even Dai Ying in the entire Gongyuan!"
Shu Liang nodded and patted Fan Qing on the shoulder: "Your analysis is good. If I give you a chance, can you dig out all the other Dai Yings?"
"The bid will definitely live up to the factory owner's high expectations!" Fan Qing was waiting for such an opportunity.
He is not as ruthless as Meng Zhou and Zhang Yongnian, nor is he Gong Hui, who is Shu Liang's confidant. He can only rely on his ability to gain the appreciation of the factory boss and climb up the ladder little by little.
"Okay, you can go check it out and turn the entire Gongyuan upside down. There will be no problem!"
Shu Liang just asked Fan Qing to investigate.
News came from the palace, causing Shu Liang to stop investigating and return to the palace for business.
"Your Majesty, why..." Shu Lianggang asked.
The father-in-law shook his head and said nothing.
Shu Liang could only accept the order, but he did not terminate Fan Qing's investigation. Instead, he opened the door of Gongyuan and entered the palace to report.
After entering the palace, he quickly entered the Qianqing Palace.
After entering the palace and bowing, he said: "Your Majesty, my brow has been found."
"Huh? Let's talk about it?" Zhu Qiyu raised his eyelids, put down the memorial, and then stood up.
Shu Liang explained Fan Qing's analysis.
"Did you come up with this?" Zhu Qiyu was surprised.
"This slave has no brains, it was Fan Qing who thought of it." Shu Liang didn't dare to take credit.
Because it was completely unnecessary. He knew that the source of his power was the emperor's trust, not his ability.
"I just say that this Fan Qing is good, you should make good use of it."
Zhu Qiyu thought: "Fan Qing's analysis is very reasonable. This Dai Ying is really not a person."
"But don't check."
"I have met Cao Jixiang. Cao Jixiang said that in the 14th year of Zhengtong, King Mobei also investigated the matter, but suddenly Tumubao was defeated and he was almost dead."
Zhu Qiyu helped Shu Liang up with his own hands: "Shu Liang, I am also afraid of this day."
Plop!
Shu Liang quickly knelt down: "I am willing to risk everything to protect Your Majesty!"
"I know your heart."
Zhu Qiyu said: "So it is not time to investigate now. Our power is too small. It seems that I have taken back the imperial power, but in fact I am restricted everywhere."
"The scariest thing is that I don't know who I can trust."
"In recent days, I have been thinking repeatedly, who can be mine?"
"But I can't figure it out."
"I found that when I should trust, I can't trust anyone."
"This may be their purpose, to make me doubt everyone!"
Zhu Qiyu sighed quietly.
Shu Liang choked up and said, "I understand the emperor's difficulties, but this group of people just showed their fox tail, and I thought we should catch them all to avoid future troubles!"
"I thought so too before."
"But Cao Jixiang said that I couldn't find out."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "If it could be found out, Hu Xin and Chen Ji would not commit suicide."
"Believe it or not, as long as you step into Gongyuan again, Yang Darong will commit suicide."
"These people are just abandoned children."
"You can't find anything if you check them."
"Throwing them out is nothing more than a warning to me."
"Hey, instead of catching some minions, it's better to cultivate your own power."
"Shu Liang, let me tell you the truth, no one in the court or the army believes it now."
"You leave the palace and cultivate confidants for me."
Shu Liang just wanted to say that he wanted to stay in Beijing.
"No, only by staying away from the court can you cultivate your confidants."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister: "I can still handle it in Beijing, but they don't dare to replace me."
"I don't have a son, but he has become my sharpest weapon."
"I don't have any worries or concerns about what I do."
"This is my greatest confidence."
"After you leave the capital, train my confidants and train useful people."
Zhu Qiyu suddenly didn't speak anymore, and let Shu Liang come to his ears: "Wait a day, I will suddenly give you up."
"It is my own writing, there will be special signs in it, no one can be imitated."
"At that time, no matter where you are, as long as you are alive, you must execute the order on the imperial decree."
Shu Liang tears can't stop flowing: "Emperor ..."
"It is only necessary to prepare from time to time."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "If there is that day, I need you to shoot and let everyone burial!"
"Slavery out of the dog's life and finished the emperor!" Shu Liang hugged his head.
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Out of Beijing, go out of Beijing now, don't check it!"
"Slaves must plant a group of available people!"
Shu Liang burst into tears.
He could feel that the emperor's heart had a huge flame.
When this fire burns, it is the fire.
