Zhu Youtang read the memorials for a day and selected a few more important ones to give personal instructions and replies. The rest were given to He Ding for him to decide on his own. Compared with Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of later generations, He Ding himself was relieved. .
Under the rule of Zhu Chongba and Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty has established a very complete national management system. On the surface, the power of the emperor has been eclipsed, and the cabinet and the eunuchs and eunuchs are in charge of government affairs. In fact, otherwise, these people are just the emperor's lackeys. The real decision-making power still lies in the hands of the emperor. As long as Zhu Youtang's imperial power is firmly in his hands, even if Emperor Jiajing practices immortality and elixir every day, the court will still operate.
With Zhu Youtang's permission, He Ding did not dare to be careless. Criticizing the government was something that ancient emperors did. No matter how bad it was, the prime ministers and civil servants would write for them. When would it be their turn to eunuch? As Zhu Youtang's accompanying young eunuch, He Ding still had a certain level of education. He approved some simple common things by himself. If he didn't understand something more, he had to ask Zhu Youtang for advice before he dared to write.
"Your Majesty, today's memorials have been approved."
Zhu Youtang glanced at He Ding, who was sweating profusely, and waved his hand: "Thank you for your hard work. You go down first. I'll call you if I need anything."
After He Ding resigned, Zhu Youtang rubbed his hands and murmured: "Handle ten political affairs that are beneficial to the development of the Ming Empire. I counted them today and found just enough for ten. It's time to summon the "Bronze Finger" again.
"Bronze fingers? I'm calling you to come out and see the driver.
Ding dong... [Hearing the call from the host, the host has met the summoning conditions once and has the opportunity to use it once. Do you want to use it? 】
"Yes", Zhu Youtang confirmed.
Ding dong... [Reward 1: One-Year Life Extension Fruit]
[Reward 2: One hundred thousand taels of silver]
[Reward 3: Physical fitness +1] Please choose one of the three rewards. "
"Reward one and two are the same as the first summons. Reward three. What does physical fitness mean? Grow muscles? Give me eight-pack abs? Add two big chest muscles?"
"[Yes, but it needs to be topped up ten times. Ming Xiaozong experienced many hardships as a young man and his body is weak. Strengthening the body can make the host have a good body.]"
Then let me choose three. The body is the capital of future success. After the body is fully strengthened, I may be able to hold an aerobics competition."
"Ding dong...[The host has obtained physical fitness +1, please pay attention to the changes in your body in the past few days]"
Ding dong... [This use is over, the system will be shut down soon, thank you for using]"
Zhu Youtang looked at his body and felt that there was no change, curled his lips and said: "This broken system won't fool me, will it?"

After Jin Yiwei's Palm Seal Envoy Wantong went to the Ministry of Punishment to receive the driving certificate, the North Town Prefecture's soldiers sent out two groups. One group was led by Wantong himself and thirty-two horsemen went straight to the home of Li Zi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other group was led by the town governor Mou. Bin is responsible for killing the demon monk Jixiao.
Outside a luxurious mansion in the Forbidden City, many people had gathered to watch a show. Facts have proved that watching the excitement is not only a modern phenomenon, but also a phenomenon in ancient times. Although Jin Yiwei's name is very famous, and a stamp of his feet can make all the officials in the capital tremble, but their excitement is still greater than their fear of Jin Yiwei's timidity.
"Hurry up and open the door to get someone. If you don't open the door, we will break down the door!"
At this time, a horse wearing a red flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife came over.
The Imperial Guard Commander and Tiqi, who were calling the door, saw the person coming and hurried forward to greet him.
"Feng Xia, a humble official, respectfully welcomes the envoy."
After Wantong dismounted and saw the closed door of the mansion, he couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn, what's going on? If he doesn't open the door, I'll hit him, and I'll charge this bitch with resisting arrest!"
In fact, there is no need for the Jinyiwei palm commander Wantong to personally take action to capture the capital officials, but he is eager to show his loyalty in front of Zhu Youtang. After all, he has no backer, and his hat and head are all in the hands of Zhu Youtang. If he performs well, he may be able to make a comeback.
At this time, Li Zi was walking around anxiously in the mansion. He never expected that the Jin Yiwei would move so quickly. He had just received gossip from the palace that His Majesty wanted to arrest him, and the Jin Yiwei rushed to the door.
"Master, how about we open the door? Your Majesty might also like your method."
Li Zisheng glanced at his married couple, suddenly slapped his forehead and said happily: "Yes, there is no man who is not lewd. Even the emperor has seven emotions and six desires. If I dedicate my secret skills to the Holy One, I might still be favored! Madam! You help me deal with them here first, and I'll go to the backyard to get the treasure!"
Jinyiwei went out, carrying a embroidered spring knife that symbolized his identity, and also held a fire blunderbuss. During this operation, someone even used a cart to push a big mallet, specially prepared for those who would not open the door to resist the order and delay.
"Break the door!" With an order, several Jinyi guards picked up the big wooden mallet and began to slam the door hard.
With a "boom", the door of Li's Mansion was hit so hard that it almost fell down. The people on the side were also shocked to see it, and they raised their hands and started discussing.
The lieutenants stepped back and were about to take a run-up before hitting the target a second time, when they heard the door creaking as someone slowly opened it from the inside.
"Control the mansion, no one can be released!"
After hearing the order, the Jin Yiwei quickly rushed into the mansion and began to control various key points. Some climbed up the wall and prepared bows, arrows and fire guns to prepare for the attack.
"On your Majesty's order, we are here to arrest the criminal Li Zisheng. Where are the others?" Wantong walked into the courtyard and shouted.
Mrs. Li led her children out tremblingly: "I have seen the commander."
Wantong walked into the lobby and sat down and said: "Mrs. Li, we are acting according to the order. Let your master come out quickly to prevent us from searching.
Just as Mrs. Li was about to speak, Li Zisheng trotted in. When he saw Wan Tong, he smiled and said, "Master Wan, please come and be fine!"
"According to the order, take someone, capture him, and bring him back to prison."
Two royal guards immediately stepped forward to hold Li Zisheng down. Li Zisheng struggled and shouted, "Wait a minute, I want to see His Majesty! I have a treasure to offer."
Wantong slapped him hard and cursed: "Can you see me, Long Live the Lord? Who else colluded with you to teach the late Emperor the evil arts?"
Wantong's slap was so hard that the right side of Li Zisheng's face turned red, and a trace of blood dripped from his mouth. Li Zisheng cried miserably: "Don't fight...I'll attack...I'll attack them all."
Just as Li Zisheng was about to speak, Wantong shouted: "Wait a minute, we'll talk about it back to the imperial prison!" When the person came, everyone in the Li family was escorted back, and no one could be let go. I have checked all the property carefully and made a list! "
…
Another group of Jin Yiwei led by Mou Bin was also ransacking the house at this moment, and found a lot of gold and silver from the monks and monasteries who usually talked about Buddhism.
On the left, there are more than 500 monks and masters under the guard of Jin Yiwei.
"Who is Ji Xiao!"
"Is the name of the Dharma King allowed to be addressed directly by ordinary people like you?" As soon as a monk finished speaking, a guard in golden clothes stepped forward and killed him with a knife.
Mou Bin sneered and said: "Bullshit Dharma King... he just made some monstrous words to confuse the monstrous monks."
"This poor monk is here. You are killing people in my Dharma Buddhist temple. It's a sin! It's a sin!"
Mou Bin glanced at Ji Xiao and said loudly: "According to the emperor's order, the demon monk Ji Xiao has deceived the public and harmed the court with his evil words. Let's set the law right!
When Ji Xiao heard this, the Dharma King and the Great Wisdom Buddha Puji, who had been calm just now, was suddenly shocked. He actually immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Mou Bin, begging Mou Bin to let him go.
Mou Bin lazily talked nonsense with him, then raised his knife and chopped off Ji Xiao's head. Seeing this, the monks and imperial masters on the side did not dare to say anything more and obeyed the orders.
In accordance with Zhu Youtang's imperial edict, Mou Bin sent all the monks and Chinese Zen masters back to their homeland, and confiscated all the gold seals above the Grand Master, jade crowns, jade belts, jade guiels, and silver medals. And some officials of the Senglu Division were all deposed as civilians, and the evil monks and evil ways that harmed the Chenghua Dynasty were uprooted.
