Then Lu Hongwei raised his hands to Master He and said, "Master He can go back first!"
Then he turned back and said loudly to the scholars: "I have already mentioned your sins just now! But I have many affairs, so I don't plan to punish you! So I will hand you over to the local priests." Edict! As for whether he strips you of your academic status or slaps a ban on you, it is all up to him!"
As soon as Lu Hongwei said these words, the scholars immediately felt at ease! Handing them over to the local magistrates is equivalent to asking one's own family to teach one's own family a lesson, and there will be no heavy punishment! Even the gentry were refreshed. They felt that the hundred households in front of them didn't want to get things done, so they came up with this method, which greatly increased their confidence!
People are always like this. When faced with concessions from others, they will always take a step closer. It is not until they are hit hard that they realize that sometimes it is necessary to push even further!
But at this moment, Lu Hongwei slapped his head and said: "Oh, I forgot one thing, that is, the local teachings of your city, and the two academic officers of Henan Province have accepted the criminal officer Lu Jinhan A lot of money is already in prison now. I'm afraid they can't control you for the time being! But it doesn't matter. I can hand you over to a higher-level academic officer to handle! If the higher-level academic officer is also in trouble If you are imprisoned, then report it to the police and see how the court will deal with it!"
At this point, he waved his hand and said: "Record the names and birthplaces of all the scholars, and then break them up!"
When the scholars heard this, they all felt as if they were mourning for their heirs! If they are handed over to local teachers or academic officials, they are sure to escape unscathed! After all, we were all acquaintances in the past, and we met more frequently. It was common to have banquets and dinners, and there was always some favor. But when it comes to the superior academic officer, it's really hard to talk about it. Even if you want to clear it up, you'll have to spend several times more money and favors!
But those Jinyi guards didn't care what they thought. They took out their pens and started to torture them about their names and places of origin. After recording a person, they pulled him out of the crowd and threw him aside. Many scholars said that after removing their names and places of origin, they quickly ran away to unknown places. They only regretted that their parents had lost two legs! There were also some who were brave or whose families had high status, not only did they not leave, but they stood among the crowd to watch the subsequent progress of the matter.
At this time, Lu Hongwei had turned his attention to the gentry. He cupped his hands with a smile on his face and said, "You are all sages from this town, but I don't know what you are doing here today."
As the saying goes, if you work hard at one go, you will fail three times! These gentry originally came with full confidence, but after being tempered twice by Lu Hongyuan through memorials and scholar matters, they no longer had the confidence they had when they first came! So there was a brief silence among the crowd!
However, the person in charge didn't want to let it go, so he slowly walked out of the crowd. This person is the old man sitting in the first place last night. I saw that this man was about sixty years old, his hair and beard were already gray, but his back was straight!
This man's surname is Hou, and his name is Hou Fangtai. He once served as governor for two terms and entered his official career as governor. So he has the highest status among these gentry! He organized many local affairs.
Hou Fangtai walked out of the crowd and raised his hands and said: "I, Hou Fangtai, is a local gentry and once served as governor. In fact, there is nothing serious about us. It's just that the Jin Yiwei have been running rampant in the city for the past two days, beating passers-by at every turn, and arresting people arbitrarily. Arresting officials has made the city uneasy! Therefore, as a local gentry, Father Liu felt that he should come out and ask, where did you Jin Yiwei come from with such a menacing attitude? "
Hou Fangtai's words were reasonable and well-founded, but Lu Hongwei took a high look at them. And if he also recognizes that this person is the leader of this group of gentry, he has already made up his mind and is not going to let him go!
However, he still held up his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Hou! I, Lu Hongwei, am from Fusi Baihu in Beizhen! As for what our Jinyi Guards can do if they go out, they are of course to capture the criminals of the imperial court! Let's talk about rampaging through the streets and beating people up. The common people are even more unreasonable! The cases handled by our Jin Yiwei are all major and important cases. Those ignorant villagers are blocking the way and hindering our handling of the cases, so we only give them minor punishments!"
Hou Fangtai read his beard and said, "Mr. Lu, what you have to say is
You can't say that! The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and every move they make naturally represents His Majesty's face! And His Majesty has always loved the people as his own children, so he must not like the Jin Yiwei running rampant in the streets! Therefore, Father Liu advised Mr. Lu to restrain himself! I just wonder if Mr. Lu can understand Father Liu’s painstaking efforts? "
Hou Fangtai's inner thoughts were clear! His mention of the so-called beating of villagers was just an introduction. He wanted to use this topic to lead to a deeper topic. As for Jin Yiwei beating a few people, it doesn't matter. It would be strange if they didn't beat them!
But what surprised him was that after thinking about it, Lu Hongwei actually bowed and saluted and said, "What Mr. Hou taught me! It was my fault that I thought wrong! Don't worry, sir, I will restrain the son-in-law below from today. They should behave more appropriately! If there is any wanton behavior again, I will definitely punish you severely! But I didn’t expect to have to work hard for the boss and all the wise men for such a trivial matter. It is really my sin! But now I know it, Then the same thing will definitely not happen, so please go back and rest!"
Lu Hongwei's words made Hou Fangtai completely stunned! In his imagination, these Jin Yiwei should be arguing with him with their eyes wide open, and then being refuted by him to pieces, and finally triggering a more profound topic! But what I didn't expect was that the Baihu opposite him actually apologized to me and said that he would restrain the son below, which made the conversation impossible to continue!
At this time, Hou Fangtailai looked at Lu Hongwei with some embarrassment, only to find that Lu Hongwei was slightly tilting his face, looking at him with a half-smile, and there was a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth! This turned all the embarrassment in his heart into rising anger!
After the Tumu Fort incident, I started to soar into the sky in a few days, and I couldn’t stop it! They extended their hands to all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time began to attack the military attaches from administrative to ideological aspects. As a result, the status of the military attaches was reduced again and again!
In their view, the job of a military attache is the job of a servant! Anyone who can breathe can do it! Therefore, they had a great sense of superiority towards the military attaches psychologically, and this sense of superiority lasted for nearly a hundred years!
