Because the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities originally belonged to five yamen, after Jin Yiwei took over the security of the capital, they had to set up security stations in five places in the southeast, northwest, middle, and east. In addition, security stations were also set up inside the Evernight City, a total of six and five outside. One is a big place, and the city that never sleeps is a small place.
There are 560 people in the large office and 100 people in the small office. In fact, one hundred households are accommodated.
In order to ensure that the Sixth Institute of Jinyiwei and the 'thieves' do not make peace with each other as much as possible, the personnel of the Sixth Institute are not fixed for a long time. In fact, it turned into a kind of dispatching mission for Jinyiwei personnel.
After each person performs for a period of time, he will be sent to other places.
In the past, because of the low grade of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department, the officials there were even lower grade. In addition, many people inherited their father's business from their fathers, so some junior officials basically worked for many years. As time goes by, they tend to collude with some bandits and hooligans for a long time, and the threads underneath become as twisted as hemp rope and cannot be untangled.
Looking at it now, it is actually a wiser decision to let Jinyiwei replace the Wucheng Army and Horses Division as a whole. Zhu Houzhao is not willing to take care of the threads inside, otherwise he doesn't know how many old sesame seeds and rotten millet things will be uncovered.
Now that they have been replaced as a whole, there is no intense investigation of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and they will not resist much. As for the bandits, the man above them suddenly changed drastically and became unfamiliar, making many things inconvenient.
The city is also an ecology. The sudden changes have made the capital appear in a state that it is not accustomed to.
One of the manifestations is that the behavior of 'gift giving' has suddenly increased.
Because there is no way to find a way,
Many people were eventually sent to Fusi, Jinyiweibei Town, and to Dongchang.
Zhu Houzhao could imagine that scene. It was actually like sleeping and the quilt was suddenly lifted. No one wanted to do anything to anyone, but it was suddenly lifted and many people were at a loss.
But Mao Yuwen did not stop and followed these gift-givers to arrest them several times.
Therefore, Zhao Shen from the Punishment Department was so busy that he had no sleep every day.
"Theft, robbery, adultery..." Jin Yiwei and the Ministry of Punishment went to the palace to report on their work. Zhao Shilang tried his best to stabilize his expression, but his eyes were still black, "The Ministry of Punishment has tried two cases of various crimes during this period. More than 100 people were arrested, and more than 800 people were imprisoned."
"Zhao Aiqing, are you feeling well?"
Zhao Shen replied: "Thanks to your majesty's concern, everything will be fine for me. Although there are many of these cases, they are just small thieves, and I cannot kill them if I deal with them."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with an expression of satisfaction: "I sometimes ask people in the academy, and they also report that since the Jin Yiwei's 'Dasuo whole city', the capital has become much cleaner, and the people have praised Mao Aiqing and Zhao Aiqing." , you have made great contributions to this."
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!
"
"By the way, do you want anything? Eucalyptus?"
Zhao Shen replied, "...there was indeed a murder, and it was of a rather bad nature."
"tell me the story."
"Yes." Zhao Shen held up his hands and said slowly: "This was reported by the woman Shen on her own initiative, saying that her husband had been missing for three days. Later, her neighbor found a body in the abandoned well. Shen Shen was shocked and ran over to check, but she cried bitterly and said it was her husband. Therefore, I concluded that the murderer was Shen herself."
"Why?" Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.
"Because you can't see your fingers in the well. If you don't know it in advance, you can't identify it. Later, after closer inspection, it was discovered that there was more than one fatality in this Shen family. Other people who knew her also suspected her, but when the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division was there before, No one checked on her."
"She has money?"
"It is said that he has a bad reputation."
"It seems that the adulterer is still at large." Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that this kind of case is indeed of a bad nature. In the current moral environment, the punishment for this woman is expected to be extremely severe.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this case."
"Okay, good job. By the way, Chinese."
"Wei Chen is here."
"Recently, you have only been concerned about these security incidents. I think many of them are not capital crimes, so there is no need to kill them all. Because I heard that your wife is pregnant in ten months and will give birth, so it can be regarded as a good deed for your child."
Mao Yuwen was particularly moved, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
Zhao Shen thought on the sidelines that there was a rumor outside that the emperor was protecting his shortcomings. It seemed that this was indeed the case. He had to consider even such a thing for his own people.
"Don't be too busy to thank me." Zhu Houzhao warned in advance, "With my character, I may leave the palace again next time. If I happen to do anything illegal again, you will also be the unlucky one."
"However, I really don't want that day to come. I am willing to throw away the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but Jin Yiwei and you are reluctant to part with it. Yu Wen, you must remember that you must never ask me to make such a dilemma."
"The humble ministers understand, and so do the Jinyi Guards. What your Majesty values most is order, and no one dares to bully the people at will."
"You should be fine with daily things. Mainly when you meet the children of princes and nobles..."
Mao Yuwen blurted out, "I only recognize your Majesty, not them."
It seems that after giving him a lesson last time, he has become a little smarter again.
"Everyone, get up. I know all the things you have told me. I won't go through these two hundred or so cases. Whether the judgment is right or not depends on you, Minister Zhao. If I enable you, you Just don’t let me down.”
"How dare I betray the holy will?"
Zhu Houzhao was not sure whether this sentence was true or false.
He originally trusted his own people, but the recent incident involving Li Dongyang and Xie Qian was too weird.
Although he still doesn't know who is stirring up the situation, it must be someone close to him. Because only if you are close to him can you have enough motivation to move the two pavilion elders.
Once the seat is vacated in this way, he can immediately fill it.
As for those who are closer to him, he has basically replaced them over the years. He didn't change the remaining people, but those people themselves had some opinions on some of his policies. It would be nice if they didn't intend to quit, so why would they want to climb up?
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao was basically certain that this was done by someone he single-handedly promoted.
The emperor and his ministers...are still a minority who really understand each other and have some friendship. Just like Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Daxia, he and Wang Hao...
Zhao Shen was also newly promoted, and Zhu Houzhao didn't know him well before, so he didn't quite believe their words of sincerity.
However, these are also beside the point.
Afterwards, Zhao Shen and Mao Yuwen left Qianqing Palace.
Zhao Shen saw clearly how the emperor treated Mao Yuwen, which was indeed the way he treated his own people, so even though he was just the deputy envoy of the Imperial Guard, he still showed the respect he deserved.
However, Mao Yuwen acted as if he would not approach strangers. After bowing in return, he strode away with his head held high.
Zhao Shen faced the sun, squinted his eyes, and looked at the famous man in front of the emperor from a distance.
A familiar voice came to my ears, "Your Majesty takes advantage of him, and he is loyal to Your Majesty. Although it is a bit strange that he has not been promoted to the rank of sergeant, after all, he is in charge of Beizhen Fusi for Your Majesty, and it is inevitable to be a bit arrogant at times."
Zhao Shen knew it was Yan Song from the voice.
"...His Majesty clearly trusts him the most, so why didn't he be promoted to Commander of the Imperial Guards? And he also hired Han Ziren to contain him."
Yan Song stood side by side with him, clasped his hands and said, "Students often don't fully understand His Majesty's thoughts."
Zhao Shen shook his head and walked out of the palace. The red-walled corridor was hundreds of meters long. Mao Yuwen's figure was in front and Zhao Shen's figure was behind.
】
Walking from here, you will hear the noise getting closer and closer when you go outside. After passing Chengtian Gate to Zhengyang Gate, the construction of the city that never sleeps has returned to normal, and the bustling people have filled every corner again.
Gu Zuo's figure often appeared again. He was busy and never stopped, until at a certain moment someone called his name, came up and bowed and saluted, "Young Situ, my master invites Young Situ to come to Shuiyunjian for a chat."
As he said this, he handed over a note. He was probably afraid that he would not be invited, so he wrote it like this.
Gu Zuo was puzzled. After the last incident in Qing Palace, Han Wen gave him a good beating. That analysis made sense, so Gu Zuo thought he would have no friends in the future.
I didn't expect that someone would come looking for me today.
After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Gu Zuo put the note into his sleeve and said, "Tell your master, I'll be there soon."
There is a sales girl playing the piano among the water clouds, and there is also a fake water spring design. The sound of gurgling water and the crisp sound of the piano instantly create a different sense of luxury.
There were many private rooms on the second floor, and Gu Zuo entered one of them.
"I've met Da Sima."
"You don't have to be polite, sir. Please sit down."
After Gu Zuo bowed, he stopped being polite, lifted up his robe and sat down. He also wanted to know the reason for his visit.
"The Book of Tea" says: Sip bitter and swallow sweet, that is tea. The flowers are beautiful on the outside, but the tea leaves are beautiful on the inside; the flowers are fragrant on the outside, but the tea leaves are fragrant on the inside. Good tea has always been like a beautiful woman, and tea is She is a beautiful woman who is beautiful on the inside.”
"What does Da Sima want to say?"
"Li Qing then drank this tea, sipped the bitter taste and swallowed the sweetness, and the fragrance spread far and wide."
"Da Sima is blaming the official for telling all the things at Qianqing Palace that day. Now it is said that His Majesty is investigating."
Wang Bing looked at the teacup, dazed, "If Qing Li had made it clearer at that time, the matter would have been much simpler. But Your Majesty loves you and would rather check it out yourself than let you talk about it."
"I am ashamed of Your Majesty." Gu Zuo said with a hint of pain.
"Several princes and ministers... Judging from His Majesty's temperament, once it is really found out, it will be known to the whole city, and by then the court will no longer have any face."
"What does Grand Sima want me to do? Is he going to plead with His Majesty?"
Wang Bingdao: "Only you can move His Majesty in this matter. Your Majesty is only willing to listen to you."
"impossible."
"How is it impossible? Regarding the matter in the Nightless City, even if a prince greets you and you persist, it is actually nothing serious. Your Majesty just wants to know. After knowing, the most he can do is to give you a few words of reprimand. . And for such a trivial matter, you have damaged the court’s face. Mr. Li, do you think this is okay?”
