"Master Cai, what you said is wrong!"
"The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, and all the princes, are all ministers of my Dayu. If you are bad, I, the Dayu, will be ruined!"
"If you all die, I, Dayu, will rise up everywhere!"
Ning Fan spoke righteously, his tone was sonorous and powerful, his eyes glanced around and landed on Cai Ji: "Master Cai just said that there are just a few corrupt officials!"
"But just such a few corrupt officials have touched the interests of tens of millions of people in my country, Dayu!"
"The king is like a boat, and the people are like water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!"
"It seems that Mr. Cai's service as an official all these years has been in vain!"
Ning Fan spoke sarcastically without mercy. Cai Ji's expression suddenly darkened and he nodded slightly: "Your Highness is right, I have been taught a lesson!"
"Just as water can carry a boat, it can also overturn it. This is a very insightful saying!"
"I didn't expect that among all the civil and military officials in my court, none of the famous dandies in the capital could see clearly!"
"hehe!"
Emperor Yu showed a hint of ridicule on his face, and his eyes fell on Ning Fan: "King Xuanyong, if you have any other ideas, please tell them!"
"Replying to my father, I have already prepared a memorial. Please take a look at it!"
"My son, I named this supervisory organization Jinyiwei, and it has a commander..."
Ning Fan listed out the Jinyiwei staff that had been discussed yesterday. However, the duties and powers of the Jinyiwei were ambiguous. He simply said, investigate and deal with corrupt officials!
After Emperor Yu made a formality, he winked at Lin Qiushi and several of his trusted ministers, and said leisurely, "What do you all think of King Xuan Yong's plan?"
"His Majesty!"
"I think this policy is very reasonable. As His Highness said, the Jinyi Guards are investigating and punishing corrupt officials. As long as we and other officials fulfill their duties, are not corrupt, and do their duty with all their heart, the Jinyi Guards will be nothing to the civil and military officials of the court!"
"Therefore, I second the proposal!"
The old guy Lin Qiushi knew that he couldn't shirk it, so he was the first to stand up and second his opinion. The faces of the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple and others all darkened. They didn't expect that Emperor Yu would be so cruel this time!
Even Lin Qiushi, an old fox, was forced to take sides!
This is a conspiracy of Emperor Yu. If they don't agree, the court can punish them for negligence, but if they agree, it is tantamount to hanging a guillotine on their necks!
"I second the proposal!"
Several important ministers came out again. Cai Ji pondered for a moment, stepped out slightly, cupped his hands slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
"Um!"
The corners of Emperor Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he nodded slightly and said: "Since everyone has no objections, we can build the Jinyiwei Yamen!"
"Ning Fan, King Xuan Yong, serves as the Commander of the Imperial Guards. He is responsible for guarding the palace, supervising all officials, and announcing the decree on a certain day!"
"One of the things being investigated today is corrupt officials. After the formation of the Jinyiwei Yamen is completed, the interrogation will be held. Those involved will be severely punished in accordance with the law and will not be tolerated!"
"The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Personnel will fully cooperate with King Xuan Yong to form a team. All officials below the fifth rank can be transferred directly without submitting a report!"
Emperor Yu made his decision directly without giving the ministers a chance to react. All the civil and military officials had different expressions on their faces, especially Lin Qiushi, Cai Ji and others, whose faces were full of surprise!
Isn't His Majesty's intention in setting up the Royal Guards to suppress the courtiers?
But such an important position as commander was given to a useless prince?
Cai Ji also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ning Fan with mocking eyes. He didn't expect Emperor Yu, who had always been wise and wise, to make such a nasty move!
"My son, I accept the decree!"
Ning Fan bowed respectfully, glanced around, and said with a smile: "My lords, I will inevitably have to deal with you in the future. If I have offended anything, I hope you will correct me!"
"Where there!"
"Your Highness is serious..."
After some pleasantries, the court started to fight among the ministers in the morning. In short, they chatted for a long time without any serious business. Ning Fan stood aside and felt sleepy!
"Retreat!"
With a shout of long live, Ning Fan was also shaken and strode out of the hall. After a short pause, he went straight to the imperial study!
…
Emperor Yu seemed to have expected that he would come. He ordered someone to prepare a cup of tea in advance and watched Ning Fan walk into the hall with a smile.
"My son, please see your father!"
"Okay, it's your first time going to court today. How do you feel about it?"
"Replying to my father, it's meaningless. That means Fengxiang Tower won't be open in the morning. Otherwise, no dogs will come to this place..."
Seeing Ning Fan's careless look, Emperor Yu couldn't help but grab the tea cup, and his hands couldn't stop shaking. This evil man actually compared that land of fireworks with my Jinluan Hall!
"Father, when will the imperial edict be promulgated?"
"Um?"
"Hey, I'm so thirsty for my sword!"
"Hmph!" Emperor Yu snorted softly and said angrily: "Don't think that just because I give you the power, you can do whatever you want. My son, the water in the court is much deeper than you think!"
"If you're not careful, you'll drown, and you won't even be able to make waves!"
"You have something in mind, I'm very relieved!"
"But the foundation of these aristocratic families cannot be shaken by you alone!"
Emperor Yu's face was solemn as never before, with a warning look on his face: "Now that you have no team in your hands, you have brought in a group of corrupt officials today, which has already caused a lot of turmoil!"
"In the past, you stayed away from the government. Although you did many ridiculous things, you did not offend their interests after all, so naturally no one plotted against you!"
"But things are different now. You are standing at the center of this storm, and you can't hide even if you want!"
"Every step you take, you must be careful!"
Ning Fan listened to Emperor Yu's words and nodded slightly: "My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
"Come!"
Emperor Yu stretched out his hand and handed out a golden scroll and said: "You will draw up this imperial edict, and I will seal it for you!"
Ning Fan's expression paused, and he took a deep look at Emperor Yu. He nodded slightly, but there was no timid expression on his face. He grabbed the imperial brush on the dragon table, and there was a burst of flying dragons and phoenixes!
"Huh?"
"When did your handwriting become so beautiful?"
"I seem to have never seen this font before. Which sect does it come from?"
After Emperor Yu saw the writing on the imperial edict, his expression was filled with surprise. He looked at Ning Fan and asked in confusion.
"Hehe, I made my father laugh by groping blindly on my own!"
"Well, if you have nothing to do, you need to explore more and understand the ways of governing the country, arranging troops, and balancing trade-offs!"
Emperor Yu took over the imperial edict written by Ning Fan. After seeing the eight words "Behead first and then play", he looked thoughtful for a moment, grabbed the big seal on the side and slammed it on!
"Go!"
"If you have anything to do, go to Lin Qiushi. Although this old guy is cunning, he is not in the same circle as those people!"
"Before your wings are full, don't act rashly!"
