"Kingwu, please calm down. How to deal with your son should be left to His Majesty. You cannot take his life."
Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly persuaded Liu Shouyou.
Liu Shouyou said: "I gave birth to my own child, so there is nothing I can't do."
"No, it goes against the new etiquette!"
"The new rites clearly stipulate that rites require not only sons to respect their fathers, but also fathers to treat their sons with kindness."
Bai Yiqing also reminded at this time.
Liu Shouyou said: "Then I'll ask for an order to kill him."
"There is no need to kill. Officials from other dynasties who neglect their duties will not be punished by death, let alone ministers in fine clothes. However, they must be punished severely, otherwise it will not serve as a warning to others."
After seeing Liu Shouyou's memorial, Zhu Yijun said this to Yang Wei, the Minister of Punishment, and others.
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu said from the side: "I also checked carefully, and he ignored that the backlog was all cases of bullying the people that needed to be classified and distributed to each thousand households. However, he did not backlog the red-seal secret reports of bullying the emperor. "
The Jinyiwei North Town Fu Division is in charge of major cases in the world. Naturally, the secret reports received need to be divided and processed internally. It is impossible for the official in charge of the Town Fu Division to handle them all alone. It will definitely not be able to handle them, so many Those who are not high-level, that is, are not involved in treason and deception, will be sent to thousands of households for processing.
After Zhang Jingxiu said this, Zhu Yijun said: "This shows that he does not take the safety of the people seriously, and only thinks about the safety of the emperor. He is loyal, but his consciousness is not high, and his actions are not evil. For the sake of his ancestor's meritorious service, he was demoted to Hanhai and served as a garrison officer. Since he doesn't know how important it is to care about the life and death of Han people, let him go to a place where there are not many Han people. And if he does well then Just put it back.”
"Just in time, Bo Tieling has sent back the good news. He has been rude to him. He destroyed the fierce fish in the sea and the big beast in the vast sea. He also set up a monument in the vast sea to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. Now we need to send more officials to garrison. .”
"The rest of the royal guards will be dealt with according to the law. If they are to be exiled as soldiers, they will also be sent to different places. Since they are greedy for pleasure and unwilling to endure hardship, then they should endure more hardships."
Zhu Yijun stood up with a smile and walked out of the palace, looking at the red eaves and white clouds spreading his arms: "This dynasty can be so prosperous, all of you have contributed to it, but you can't forget the world because of this." Li Shu, whether they can be strong and prosperous is the key to the prosperity of the country today."
"I will obey His Majesty's will and remember the Holy Instructions."
Shen Shixing and others replied with their hands raised, and they all looked happy.
Li Rusong's feat indeed brought great national prestige, and it can be regarded as the Ming Dynasty showing off its muscles to the northern barbarians after Ping-Mian showed its muscles to the barbarians in the south.
As long as one still has the righteousness of the country in his heart, he will naturally be arrogant.
After Liu Chengxi learned that he was going to Hanhai, he was speechless on the spot, and then he couldn't help but cry to Liu Shouyou: "Father, you might as well kill me! Is that place in Hanhai a place where people can stay?" "
"Where can Hu people stay, but Han people can't?"
Liu Shouyou asked.
Liu Chengxi said with an aggrieved look: "How can it be the same? Hu people wear hair and drink blood, and your son can also wear hair and drink blood."
Bang!
"You bastard, don't you love practicing with those scholars and Hu Ji Shuang? Isn't it just what you want to go there?!"
Liu Shouyou picked up the tea cup on the table and threw it at Liu Chengxi, saying: "You are useless, I have told you a long time ago that the Jin Yiwei will be rectified next and I asked you to restrain yourself. If you don't listen, you must do it." Disgrace your father and me!"
"I am incompetent, but I don't dare to ruin the emperor's important affairs!"
"Son, I'm just delaying as long as I can the things that the officials and gentry below slaughtered the people and destroyed their families in order to make money!"
"Anyway, if the common people lose one cluster, another cluster will appear, and the foundation will not be damaged. But if we really pursue these things, the officials and gentry in the outer court will naturally hate our Liu family, and in turn, they will hate the emperor behind us! "
"Father, I am thinking about the emperor and our Liu family!"
"Why don't you think the emperor understands and insists on us, the Imperial Guards, taking matters seriously?!"
"We, the Jin Yiwei, are required to really make decisions for the people. We are not scholars who ask for orders for the people!"
"We are the emperor's ministers. We only work for the emperor, not for the people!"
"Don't he know that we do this deliberately because we are too loyal?"
"Don't the emperor understand that he can't stabilize his throne without provoking a popular uprising and acquiescing to officials oppressing the people?"
"After all, since ancient times, the emperor has not shared the world with the people!"
Liu Chengxi sneered, and then asked in confusion.
Liu Shouyou looked at Liu Chengxi: "Are these the fallacies taught to you by some scholars?"
Liu Shouyou said: "Do you know what the duty of our Jinyiwei is? It is to ensure that officials cannot overly exploit the people in addition to taxes, so as to ensure that the foundation of the country is not bad and the people can live and thrive. But If you let the officials continue to oppress you, sooner or later the world will be in chaos again! It's not like you haven't read."
"I don't know when it will be."
"At least our generation won't. Even if it comes to the time when we need to care about the people and stop the officials from messing around, it's not too late to put things in order."
"You can't just leave everything to future generations. You have to do it yourself. Who knows if there will be extremely evil people who dare to kill the king even if they kill themselves?"
"As the emperor's ministers, we have to do things that the emperor cannot tell us. Isn't this what you taught me?"
Liu Chengxi said.
"I taught you this, but I didn't teach you to be too careless about the people."
Liu Shouyou glanced at his son: "No matter what, my father will not sacrifice the Liu family's past achievements and the fate of the nine clans for you, and do anything that betrays loyalty, even if he cannot do what the saint said about putting the people first. It's noble words, but loyalty to the emperor must be done. Whatever the emperor wants to do, my Liu family must do it. This is the duty of a minister!"
Liu Chengxi smiled helplessly: "My child knows that, father, you will not drag the entire clan down because of your child."
"It's not a bad thing for you to go to Hanhai. It's just a good time to practice. Maybe you can make meritorious service and get promoted back in the future!"
"Although you don't agree with the new etiquette advocated by the imperial court and don't treat the common people as human beings, after all, you are a member of my Liu family. With the background of my Liu family, you won't really end up in the desert."
After Liu Shouyou said that, he left Liu Chengxi's room.
…
“It is difficult to implement the new rituals, it is even more difficult to ascend to heaven!”
"My requirements are not high. I don't want them to be equal to the common people. I just want them to treat the Han people as individuals. Moreover, based on the teachings of ancient saints and the wishes of Taizu, what is established is that the people of the same race are innocent and respect their lives. , allow them to be rich, and cannot treat them like cattle and horses, just a new gift."
After Zhang Jingxiu rectified the Jinyiwei, the atmosphere of the Jinyiwei changed greatly, especially after a large number of Jinyiwei backbones with outstanding abilities but little background were promoted to replace the original powerful children who just wanted to live in peace, which made them responsible for some local officials. A batch of stories reported by the Jinyi Guardian about officials and sergeants using the Qing army to deceive the people and plunder the people finally reached the imperial court and became known to Zhu Yijun.
After Zhu Yijun found out, he became so emotional.
