In the bright hall where the fire was burning, after Li Ruhua said this, many people looked at him, and many people even sweated for him.
After hearing what Li Ruhua said, Zhu Yijun frowned and thought for a while, then smiled lightly and asked: "Why, do you think someone will kill the king for this?"
"Your Majesty, can you forget about the old events of the Martial Temple and the World Temple?"
At this time, Li Ruhua asked quickly.
Wumiao is the Zhengde Emperor. In history, after leaving the palace, Qingjiangpu fell into the water and became ill.
As for the Shimiao Emperor Jiajing, in history, a fire broke out in his palace after leaving the palace, and he was almost burned to death if Lu Bing hadn't saved him in time.
Although there is no evidence to prove that there is any conspiracy in these two incidents, they both show that the emperor's trip to Beijing is indeed very risky.
Therefore, Li Ruhua used this to remind Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun's expression changed after hearing this, and then he smiled again: "Is there really someone who is not afraid of the nine tribes being destroyed?"
"Your Majesty, does the person who killed Dang Xin fear the nine tribes?"
"Have you ever feared the Nine Tribes?"
Li Ruhua asked repeatedly.
Historically, Dang Xin was indeed killed by middle- and lower-class officers and soldiers, of course. This kind of governor was killed by mutinous officers and soldiers in more than one case in the Ming Dynasty. This can indeed support Li Ruhua's statement. There are indeed people who dare to take risks when forced into desperate situations.
In addition, Kuaibai also dared to rebel in history and was also a person who dared to gamble. This now also supports Li Ruhua's view of persuading Zhu Yijun to stop investigating.
Zhu Yijun only asked coldly: "Why, how much have the local right-wing and evil officials gone so far that they are so afraid of me continuing to visit privately?"
"Your Majesty, it is the duty of ministers to patrol hunting places on behalf of the emperor. These things are done by officials with the responsibilities of imperial envoys. If you allow ministers to sacrifice their lives for this, it can be regarded as a worthy death!"
"But Your Majesty is a man of ten thousand gold. He cannot personally take risks and take over the responsibilities of his ministers!"
"In this case, what is the use of ministers?"
Li Ruhua spoke excitedly.
"According to what you said, my country is really full of swords, mountains and seas of fire. Am I in an enemy country?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Li Ruhua replied: "Your Majesty rules the world by one person, and you are like the enemy of everyone in the world. If the thieves in the world kill your Majesty, they will shake the world and destroy the destiny of the country. Although there will be great disasters, they will still happen." There’s a huge opportunity!”
Said.
Li Ruhua said bitterly: "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of gamblers in the world!"
Then, Li Ruhua raised the memorial again and said: "In addition, I impeached the first assistant Shen Shixing, the minister Qi Jiguang and others encouraged your majesty to personally conquer and disrupt the world. They have bad intentions, and please your majesty to severely punish their crimes!"
Zhu Yijun asked Tian Yi to take over Li Ruhua's memorial.
Li Ruhua looked over expectantly.
But Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue remained calm.
At this time, Zhu Yijun just picked up the ink pen and directly made a cross on Li Ruhua's memorial.
Li Ruhua was stunned.
Zhu Yijun threw his memorial in front of Li Ruhua:
"When you get to their position, you will know why they did what they did, and you will also know why I did what I did!"
"His Majesty!"
Li Ruhua suddenly bowed to the ground and said with choked sobs: "You may not worry about your own safety, but I must not worry about it. You are my king and father!"
"Do I not care about my life?"
"But you know, if I don't come and take a look, I will soon be indistinguishable from the walking dead."
"It's cold at high places. You can't expect me to know who is loyal and who is traitorous from above."
"Furthermore, if I can only stay in the capital, once I leave the capital, it will be like entering a wolf's den and a tiger's den. What's the point of all my hard work for so many years?"
"If I don't come down to investigate in person, can it really be done by relying on you?"
After Zhu Yijun asked, he looked at Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue: "You guys should also tell me."
Qi Jiguang first raised his hand and said yes, and then said: "Your Majesty, what Li Fengxian said is the words of a loyal minister. It is not appropriate for you to kill people and exile people anymore, so as not to panic people."
"I know, you also want me to see only the good side, right?"
Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.
"I dare not hide this from Your Majesty, I do think so."
Wang Xijue replied truthfully.
Li Ruhua glanced at Wang Xijue for a moment.
"Admired or shocked?"
"Did you not expect Mr. Wangge to answer like this?"
"Do you think he is a loyal minister too?"
Zhu Yijun looked at Li Ruhua and asked with a smile.
Li Ruhua said "hmm" and said, "Since the prime minister and the ministers have said this, why shouldn't your majesty be just like the light and act with caution?"
"What a harmonious person!"
"Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Yushi, and governors, many of them do not report worries but only good news. Now even you few hope that I can only see the good side of the new deal, and that I only have the power to reward ministers, and cannot see the negative side. The power to forgive for the good.”
"That's it."
"Why don't you just issue the decree directly and the punishment will not go to the doctor!"
Zhu Yijun said and asked: "Do you think it is true or not?"
"His Majesty!"
"I just think that there is no need to urge the world's powerful people to learn to accept new rituals as soon as possible and treat the people of the country as their own children in a way that will make the emperor, father and emperor Zuo unsafe!"
Wang Xijue hurriedly explained at this time. He had to admit that the emperor always loved yin and yang and was very embarrassed by him openly and secretly.
"As a civil servant and a scholar-official, who wouldn't want to punish the official?"
"But is this something I can achieve if I want to?"
"It was difficult to borrow the lessons of the Five Dynasties to convince the emperor and the people of the world that emphasizing culture and suppressing military force can bring long-term peace and stability to the country. The emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats can rule the world together so that the country can be peaceful and the people are safe."
"But the ending of the two Song dynasties turned this conclusion, which was about to become the truth, into a paradox. In addition, Yuan Yifeng was too lenient to the people of the world, which makes it even more difficult for people to use the reason of being lenient without losing the country. To deceive a slightly smarter emperor."
"As long as the emperor is a little more simple, let's see if we scholar-bureaucrats will continue to advocate this way!"
Wang Xijue cursed.
After Zhu Yijun heard what Wang Xijue said, he just laughed and then took his arm back: "It's difficult for me too!"
Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue couldn't help but were stunned and looked at each other.
Li Ruhua and others were also stunned and looked at each other.
"What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Zhu Yijun revealed the answer at this time and said: "As long as there are a few loyal ministers like Hai Rui and Shen Yi who dare to fight against the powerful officials and plead for the people, why do I need to personally charge into the battle!"
"This is like fighting a war. If ordinary soldiers dare to sacrifice their lives, why would a general come to the front line to supervise the battle in person?"
"Let's talk about you, Li Ruhua. Do you know or don't know the root cause of the Shaanxi Rebellion, or did you deliberately not know it?"
"Why do government schools like Dong Chaoying rebel? As the saying goes, if things are unfair, they will rebel. If Dang Xin's own fault hadn't been involved, would they have turned themselves into rebels?"
"Are you, the inspector, afraid of offending others? You dare not check the governors from the central government, but only the local officials who have no background, so you caused the rebellion in Shaanxi?"
Zhu Yijun asked about Li Ruhua, and then said: "You have the courage to offend Yan Zhijian, but you don't have the courage to offend the powerful!"
"And you officials, especially those who are my spies, including Jinyi Weidong Factory and others, are all in the same dust as Guang, so how can I be in the same dust as Guang?"
"Everyone is already a good person, but there has to be someone who is a bad person in this world, right?"
"Whether I am a tyrant or a benevolent lord, it all depends on you. Do you dare to be loyal and fearless?"
Zhu Yijun's question made Li Ruhua feel ashamed and hurriedly kowtowed: "What your Majesty said is that the root cause is that officials like me have harmed the people of the world and failed the holy grace. I am guilty! I cannot escape the blame for my death!"
"Get up!"
"I have said that if the New Deal can achieve more than 70%, it will be considered good. If the New Deal does not harm the people but does not benefit the people, I can accept that."
"That's because I know that bureaucrats and scholar-officials as a whole have no motivation to benefit the people and only have the motivation to harm the people. This is the original desire of human beings, so it is enough to abstain from sexual desire and not harm others. Otherwise, if I really pursue the case strictly , then there will be even more people to kill!”
"Not only do you, Li Ruhua, deserve to be killed, but even if you don't interrogate them and arrest and kill them one by one, there won't be many out of ten who can be said to be unjustly accused."
Zhu Yijun's words made all the ministers present admire and feel ashamed.
"So, I won't kill you because you are still loyal!"
"Not only will I punish you, Li Ruhua, for your crime of insincerity, but I will also allow you to make meritorious deeds for your crime!"
"As long as you still have loyalty, go kill people for me!"
"I listened to your advice and stopped going to collect the news myself!"
"you go!"
"You still arrest and kill people in your capacity as the censor!"
"If they kill you because of this, I will pursue a title for you. If they don't kill you, I will only treat you as a national warrior!"
Zhu Yijun said with a serious face at this time.
"I accept the decree and dare not disobey the emperor's orders again!"
Li Ruhua immediately answered with tears in his hands.
At this time, Wang Xijue resolutely spoke out and said: "Your Majesty, please let me go on the next inspection. Your Majesty will only see the scenery along the way with the Prime Minister, enjoy it with the people, and plan strategies for victory thousands of miles away." That’s it, I’m younger than the Prime Minister, so it’s suitable for me to go and see more.”
"You want to show your loyalty, how can I refuse?"
"The decree is passed that in addition to Wang Xijue, who supervises the world as a bachelor of Jianji Palace, the prince's tutor, the official minister, and the privy deputy envoy, all the governors and below can be killed first and then report! The emperor is also given a large banner, which can be used to dispatch troops on the spot to suppress any rebellion. Let’s do something, and then play it out!”
Zhu Yijun said with a smile at this time.
Wang Xijue hurriedly said, "I obey the order!"
Zhu Yijun turned around and walked inside, and said: "The country has loyal ministers, and the country is blessed! Since there are ministers who are willing to serve me, don't I know that I can only show my kindness to you?"
"Therefore, according to my decree, I have invited the local ministers and generals to come to see me. I will give a banquet to inquire about the people's sentiments and discuss with them the counter-insurgency matters."
With that said, Zhu Yijun said: "Mr. Ji Guo, next, it's up to you to follow me to meet those elders."
Qi Jiguang raised his hand and said yes.
Wang Xijue stood there and was silent for a long time. He had no sense of joy after suddenly gaining great power, even the power to mobilize troops. He only felt that he had been tricked by the emperor, and that he had jumped into the trap himself.
