"Master Shen, tell me, how can we make the new gift truly take root in people's hearts?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing at this time.
"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that the new etiquette is much easier to adhere to than the old etiquette."
"Because the old rites are to eliminate human desires, make everyone a saint, and then observe virtue, and be willing to be slaves in front of the people of the world."
"The new rites only hope that people should be benevolent and be benevolent, that is, they do not need to make everyone a saint, and they do not need to destroy people's desires. They just want to treat the people of the country like innocent children, so as to express the friendship between them and the same culture."
"But it is difficult for people to abstain from sexual desires, and it is also difficult to control their desires!"
"It's just that compared to the old etiquette, the new etiquette has been able to win more people to abide by it. Those who are unwilling to abide by the new etiquette are just extremely selfish and ignore their conscience, and are willing to be shameless."
"Therefore, I believe that as long as such people find that the cost of violating the new rites is greater than the benefits of accepting the new rites, they will only adapt to the situation, and by then the new rites will be thoroughly rooted in people's hearts."
Shen Shixing replied at this time.
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this and suddenly asked: "How is the newly opened mine going now?"
Shen Shixing replied: "Mining has already begun."
Zhu Yijun said: "It depends on whether the mining power can help promote the new gift."
As he said that, Zhu Yijun suddenly turned cold and looked at Shen Shixing, Zhang Jingxiu and others:
"It is one thing to lead with profit, but as Master Shen said, it is also another thing to increase the cost of violating the new etiquette. For the long-term stability of the country, those who do not treat the people as human beings but wantonly eradicate and plunder them should be severely punished. !」
"Corrupt officials who have been found out by the Jinyiwei and the local imperial court will all be arrested and brought to Beijing, and they will be dealt with by the Three Laws Division according to the law. If you can kill them, don't exile them. If you can exile them outside the customs, don't exile them inside the customs. If you can exile them inside the customs, don't just dismiss them and serve the people. !」
"Anyone involved in the illegal extermination of the family will be exiled outside the customs and overseas! Since you don't think of the Han people as noble in your heart, go outside and experience the feeling of not having any compatriots to depend on!"
After Zhu Yijun said it, Shen Shixing and Zhang Jingxiu both said yes.
"Your Majesty, I would like to jointly inscribe in the name of the three magistrates to issue an imperial edict to deal with this matter and then deal with it strictly."
At this time, Yang Wei, the Minister of Punishment, cupped his hands and said.
Zhao Jin, the censor of Zuodu, and Wang Zuan, minister of Dali Temple, also stood up and said, "I second the proposal."
Zhu Yijun knew that they were trying to prevent extreme people from being dissatisfied with the imperial court for upholding justice for the common people and getting angry at the emperor, so they petitioned like this in order to make people know that this was not the emperor's original intention, but the intention of the entire ruling ministers in the court. meaning purpose.
Thus.
Those who are extreme do not want to express their anger directly at the emperor, and they also know that even getting rid of the emperor is meaningless. Unless the ministers in the court who support this are first wiped out with blood, otherwise even if the emperor is changed, it will be a change of soup without changing the medicine.
So, Zhu Yijun nodded and agreed, and when he returned to Yangxin Hall, he said to Zhang Jingxiu: "Come with me."
Zhang Jingxiu followed Zhu Yijun to the Yangxin Hall.
Zhu Yijun said: "Ask Beizhen Fusi to investigate Chen Jingbang, the Minister of the Ministry of War. In the past, this person deliberately wanted me to worry about reforms and ruined the country's affairs!"
"According to the order!"
…
After Zhang Jingxiu rectified the Jinyiwei, the newly updated official school of Jinyiwei began to go out of the capital in large numbers to arrest evil officials.
"Why are you crying? I'm just asking you to serve as an army thousands of miles away to defend the country. Once you've passed the limelight, I'll let you go back."
"You must know that this is the intention of Prime Minister Qi Gong. He wants to rectify military affairs. You said that this patrol commander can't clean up the army and hook up with you, so don't complain. This is a national policy, and it must be implemented even if it is not implemented!"
"How did the days of peace come about? It was due to the strict implementation of these national policies."
Wuqing County.
Gong Yiqing, the commander of the Northern Direct Patrol, stood in front of the Wuqing County Government that day and spoke loudly to the people who were crying because they were about to be sent thousands of miles away to be sent to the army.
At this time, Ning Wenfang, a member of the Ministry of Health who came to plead for the people, couldn't help but ask: "So, the national policy that harms the people is all done by Ji Guogong?"
"Exactly!"
Gong Yiqing replied with a proud look.
Moreover, as soon as he finished speaking, he continued: "So don't complain about me, I am just giving orders to rectify military affairs!"
[In view of the general environment,
"Gong Yiqing!"
At this time, a shout suddenly came from outside.
When Gong Yiqing heard this, his face suddenly filled with anger: "How outrageous!"
Because someone dared to call him by his name.
In this era, except for parents and elders, calling scholar-officials by their first names is equivalent to disrespecting them.
After Gong Yiqing scolded him, he followed the sound and saw a leopard-headed, ring-eyed, white-skinned and tower-like body of a Jinyi guard appearing outside with a group of Jinyi guards and cavalry.
These Jin Yiwei came specifically to arrest Gong Yiqing with driving stickers.
Because Gong Yiqing's rebellion against the Qing army in Beizhi had been exposed by the county magistrate Peng Yingshen and became known to the Beizhi Jinyiwei. Now after the Jinyiwei reorganized, his matter was also reported by the Jinyiwei, causing the emperor to issue an order to recommend his arrest. .
The leader is Baihu Wang Changsheng.
At this time, Changsheng, the king of hundreds of households, took out the imperial edict and said: "You have been dismissed as a commoner, and I have sent you to arrest you and bring you to the capital to question you for resisting the edict and disturbing the people!"
"Resist the decree?"
Ning Wenfang and other Wuqing County officials were shocked when they heard this, and they all looked at Gong Yiqing.
Gong Yiqing's face suddenly sank and he said no more.
"That's right, although Prime Minister Qi Gong has reorganized military affairs, he has not said that he wants to clean up the army of the world. He has even asked for His Majesty's decree to prohibit the clearing of troops from the local area, otherwise it must be done! And he, Gong Yiqing, refused to accept such an imperial edict. You still choose to hide it from the soldiers and the people, this is really audacious! It also disrespects my Jin Yiwei!"
At this time, Wang Changsheng of the Hundred Households of Jinyiwei spoke in a deep voice and ordered: "Capture this person and confiscate his illegal gains."
Ning Wenfang and other scholars suddenly realized this.
Gong Yiqing was also put into the prison car at this time, and he couldn't help but close his eyes: "Your hard work was in vain! Why is this the result?"
Snapped!
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I say you're not upright, I'll tell you that you're not upright. Copy it for me!"
No coincidence.
In Jiangxi, officials under Jiangxi Deputy Ambassador Zou Diguang were also forcibly raiding people's homes by taking advantage of the Qing army's raids.
At this moment, an official named Feng Mingcheng slapped the old farmer Lou Yuanshan on the face, who was trying to explain that he did not have a virgin, and led people directly into Lou Yuanshan's house and started rummaging through the boxes.
"take away!"
But at this time, Yu Zhihong, the general banner of Jinyiwei, had already arrived under the guidance of the people and arrested Feng Mingcheng immediately.
Feng Mingcheng shouted anxiously: "I am Zou Bingxian's man, you can't take me!"
"Be honest, you military officers were also arrested for disobeying orders and disturbing the people!"
After Yu Zhihong, the bannerman of Jinyiwei, said this, Feng Mingcheng became honest.
Anyway.
For a time, many officials who oppressed the people were arrested and brought to Beijing.
In addition to Beizhi Inspector Gong Yiqing, officials such as Fengyang Governor Wang Jian, Fengyang Inspector Cen Yu, Huai'an Magistrate Zhou Qi, Inspector Du Jian and other officials were also arrested and brought to Beijing.
"What does Zhang Siwen mean?"
"Didn't you say that he is a gentleman? Wouldn't it be better for him to join the Jinyi Guard? Why did he join the Jinyi Guard and many gentlemen were imprisoned?!"
Zou Diguang, a protégé of Chen Jingbang, the Minister of War, was also arrested and brought to Beijing. Even Zhao Nanxing's own Tu Long, who came to the Ministry of Rites in the same year, was arrested on suspicion of inciting the Qing army and transferring smuggled stolen money.
It was precisely because Chen Jingbang's protégé Zou Diguang was also arrested and brought to Beijing that Chen Jingbang asked about Zhao Nanxing with a stern face that day.
