In fact, as far as he is concerned, Zhu Di does not want to do this kind of work of dealing with the people, but also has to tie corrupt officials to the stage and speak in front of a group of people to incite.
He is also a Jin Yiwei, and he wants to be like the commander Mao Xiang of the Jin Yiwei, breaking into homes and catching thieves. How easy would it be to take the person and throw him into the imperial prison, where he will be tortured and served immediately? There is no need to deal with such a large group of messy people.
He even suspected that Lao Zhu was still jealous of him because of Jing Nan, so he arranged such an unpleasant and tiring job for him and then stayed away from him to prevent him from getting involved in the center of the government. Go inside.
But the night before Zhu Di left Beijing a few days ago, he was dragged into the house by his fifth brother Zhu Su. The two brothers sat on the ground in the garden of the mansion and had a good talk.
"Fourth brother." Zhu Su said to Zhu Di. "This time you lead the royal guards out of the capital to investigate illegal property, property and other matters in the homes of officials. You must be careful and pay attention to your own safety."
"The so-called taking someone's money is like killing your parents. Although the Jinyi Guards are brave, they must be on guard against one or two stupid people with evil intentions who want to fight you to the death."
Zhu Di nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, and Zhu Su continued: "I suggest that Fourth Brother, you can raise your banner and show that you are on the side of the people. You are here to make decisions for the people. If you take those big households, let the people We will hold a public trial, let those who have a grudge take revenge, and those who have an injustice avenge an injustice."
"If you find out that the stolen money belongs to the people, you can generously return it to the people. At the same time, you can restrain the military discipline of your subordinates and never disturb the people. In this way, people will naturally stand on your side..."
"So troublesome?" Zhu Di frowned, a little confused. "The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers. They go out to the capital to handle cases. What does they have to do with the people?"
"Besides, fifth brother, this Jin Yiwei is the sharp blade in my father's hand to scare the world."
"If you follow what you say, the stolen money will be returned to the people, and the case will be tried by the people... In this way, what is the difference between Jin Yiwei and the mayors and Li Zheng in the countryside?"
"The so-called brilliant power of heaven, isn't it precisely because its power hangs high in the sky and cannot be seen when looking up, so it can scare people."
"Fourth brother, this is wrong." Unexpectedly, the fifth brother's expression turned serious. "If you put the invisible power of God and the visible benefits together for people to choose, people will definitely choose the benefits."
"The human heart cannot be relied upon. Likewise, relying solely on the awe and fear of others to maintain local purity will not last long. Fourth brother, do you still remember what I told you about the rampant factory guards in the Ming Dynasty in history?"
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then nodded. The Dongchang in "Factory Guard" was established by himself, the "Yongle Emperor". Zhu Di naturally had a deep memory of such an incident. Zhu Su continued: "Historically, the factory guards of the Ming Dynasty had a very evil reputation. But in the final analysis, the corruption and chaos in the Ming Dynasty did not stop at all because of the evil reputation of the factory guards."
"On the contrary, the rampant use of factory guards partly led to the further corruption of officialdom, and the reputation of the factory guards themselves has reached the point where even the common people's expressions change after hearing about it, and everyone calls for beatings."
"In the final analysis, it's because the factory guards don't have the soil to take root, and they don't know what they should and shouldn't do."
"Since it is an institution that assists the emperor, maintains clean governance, punishes evil and promotes good, why do we have to show off our power and make ourselves feared by everyone? The Buddhists also have the Arhat King Kong who is responsible for killing demons and demons, but I have never heard of a good one. People are afraid of Arhat Vajra because he can subdue dragons and tigers, and will not visit it."
"The Jin Yiwei who can really make the Ming Dynasty prosperous should be feared by officials and trusted by the people. Everything the Jin Yiwei does is to protect the people from corrupt officials."
"Being rooted in the people and clarifying the mission, this is the true Jinyiwei! This is also the reason why dad entrusted this task to you. Although Mao Xiang is capable, he is a cruel official, and placing you, Fourth Brother, in Jinyiwei is the right thing to do. I want you to come and let the people regard the Jin Yiwei as the envoy to protect them."
"The Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, and they are the emperor's incarnation among the people. As long as the people believe in the emperor, the world will never be overturned! The burden on you is extremely heavy! Fourth brother, you have to cheer up!" Zhu Su advised.
"As long as the people have their trust, nothing can change the world..." Zhu Di murmured this sentence, and the wisp of complaint that Lao Zhu was partial to in his heart had long since disappeared without a trace under Zhu Su's persuasion. trace. "Fifth brother, I understand."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. That bastard is making trouble in the Ming Dynasty because he wants to suck the blood of our Chinese people."
"I will build a brand new Imperial Guard to protect the stability of this world."
"Then, you and I, brothers, will work together to expand the territory and fight outside!"
Seeing that the gloom in Zhu Di's expression was gone, Zhu Su also nodded happily. After returning to Beijing, Zhu Di asked for orders several times to go to northern Xinjiang to guard the border with Xu Da, but Lao Zhu refused and detained him in the Jinyi Guards. There was no sign of immediately sending troops to clear the desert and fight Yuanting to the death.
This made Zhu Di feel very anxious. He has grown up day by day, and what he fears most is not having enough time and not being able to compare with the foreign emperor named Alexander.
How could he be willing to let him spend time in Beijing?
He was also extremely annoyed by the bunch of flies and dogs in the court. These civil servants kept holding the imperial court back for a small profit, which had long made him despise him to the extreme.
"It's time to purge a brand-new Jinyiwei as Lao Wu said, so that he can help his father to purify the court and stabilize the world."
"In this way, when we expand our territory in the future, our country will not be ruined by these corrupt officials..."
Pulling back from his memories to reality, Zhu Di cheered up as he looked at the group of curious people under the high platform, as well as the unruly-looking Zheng Shili and other scholars. When he went to other places for inspections a few days ago, he had already tried to organize such public trials several times, and now he was naturally familiar with it.
However, this time the public trial was organized in Yingtian, directly confronting the public opinion stirred up by scholars and scholars.
Yingtian is the imperial capital of the Ming Dynasty. It is the heart of China and a place where all directions gather. What happens here will spread throughout the Ming Dynasty in a short time.
If they can successfully use the power of the people to overturn the public opinion stirred up by the literati, the Imperial Guards will naturally become famous from then on, and those civil servants will no longer be able to restrain the imperial power and use the so-called public opinion to hinder the emperor.
The imperial guards became the link between the emperor and the people, and became the medium through which public opinion could reach the heart of heaven.
Of course, the premise is that Jin Yiwei is always trusted among the people, so that everyone in the world knows that the emperor sends Jin Yiwei to the people to punish corrupt officials for the sake of the people.
But if this public trial fails, those literati will definitely intensify their efforts to manipulate the people, attack the imperial power, and stir up trouble...
"Come on, take the prisoners!" Zhu Di shouted loudly, his eyes were firm, and he was already treating this public trial as if it were a victory or defeat on the battlefield.
Moreover, he is determined to win!
