Liu Jin is very busy.
Zhu Houzhao was not idle either. He walked out of Qianqing Palace regardless of the cold winter wind and sat in front of the Meridian Gate.
Between the two rows of eunuchs was Mao Yuwen, who was taking off his shirt and kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty..." The eunuch came over to ask if he could be executed.
Zhu Houzhao frowned, put one hand on the edge of the chair, and sat slightly tilted, while waving with the other hand.
"yes!"
Then there was a 'bang', and the sound was very real.
But Mao Yuwen just grunted and stood firm without making a sound.
Then the stick came up and fell again, 'bang, bang, bang'.
The veins on Mao Yuwen's neck and head became more and more obvious, and his face turned red. But his body was strong and he refused to fall, even if there was blood on the stick in the end.
These twenty military sticks were requested by himself.
And Zhu Houzhao sitting here means that he took the initiative to ask for this punishment.
Looking at the blood gradually left on the stick, Zhu Houzhao said: "Yuwen, this matter has nothing to do with you, but you have suffered this punishment, are you a little dissatisfied?"
"Your Majesty, no!"
"Really?"
"Absolutely not. The most important thing the Jinyiwei Xuezheng committed was only twenty military sticks. Your Majesty is extremely gracious."
"Put on your clothes."
Mao Yuwen didn't move, no matter how cold it was, he didn't move. It was the eunuch next to him who set him up.
"Go to Tai Hospital to get some medicine, don't leave any hidden injuries."
Mao Yuwen knocked his head on the ground, "I thank your Majesty for the gift of medicine."
The emperor got up and went back to the palace on the wind.
He didn't want to punish a close friend of his like this in the middle of winter, but some mistakes could be forgiven and some couldn't.
Mistakes that cannot be made will only have consequences if they are made, so these people will not lose their lives next time.
If the woman's benevolence at this time conveys the wrong message and eventually leads to serious consequences, then Ma Su will be killed in tears at that time.
Mao Yuwen's body was considered strong. Logically speaking, he needed to rest after being beaten like this.
But he didn't.
After simply cleaning the wound, applying medicine and bandaging it, he summoned three thousand households, six deputy thousand households and all the hundred households in Beijing who were responsible for the criminal office, security office and special office in Fusi, Beizhen.
The main school officials of the North Division who are talked about by the outside world are all from here.
In order to wait for these people, Mao Yuwen spent all night.
And even at night, no one is allowed to leave, holding torches and freezing in the cold wind. This matter must be resolved today!
Wei Xuezheng has been tied up and kneels in front of the main room.
Mao Yuwen's face looked extremely cold under the dancing firelight.
"The Jin Yi Guards belong to the 26 Guards of the Supreme Immortal Army, and are even more different from the other 25 Guards. I have told you this since the first day you walked in here. But some people still can't listen! You guys Tell me, what is a royal guard?!"
"The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers!"
"The emperor's own soldiers want to deceive the emperor! Don't say that your majesty can't tolerate you, even I, Mao Yuwen, can't tolerate you! Get the sword!"
Wei Xuezheng was so frightened that his face turned pale.
But when things got to this point, it was useless to say anything.
The knife fell and a column of blood spurted out!
But Mao Yuwen didn't even look at it. He turned his back and turned his head with only one side face, "From Bei Si to me, anyone who deceives the emperor will be killed!"
"yes!"
The roar was like thunder in an instant.
With a clang, Mao Yuwen threw the bloody knife to the ground.
"When you go back and check the members of the various ministries to which you belong, if your Majesty finds a Wei Xuezheng, he will only come to me. And if I find a Wei Xuezheng, I can only look to you."
Wei Xuezheng was transferred from the Fusi Public Security Office of Jinyi Weibei Town to the Evernight City Public Security Office.
so……
There are some things that don’t need to be said.
A thousand households in the police station, and two deputy thousand households all stepped forward voluntarily.
"Forty batons each!"
This is how the effectiveness of management levels increases.
Otherwise, the people above are shouting at the top of their lungs, but the orders cannot be issued. What is the difference between this kind of imperial power and empty power?
But the transmission layer by layer will make Jinyiwei's grassroots environment very harsh.
But this is the Jin Yiwei, and all the matters involved are military and national affairs, and they are not a trivial matter.
After dawn,
The official office of the Ministry of Husbandry has a guest from the Ministry of Punishment.
Min Gui slapped the table and said angrily: "Liu Jin is sitting in a big sedan chair in a bright and clear world, standing in the city that never sleeps and speaking righteously! A eunuch has become a person who upholds justice for the people. This is truly unprecedented. What a wonder!"
The Superintendent of Ceremonies reached out to the city that never sleeps. The great eunuch Liu Jin suddenly turned into a person asking for orders for the people. Doesn't this mean that other people are of little use?
Chen Youguang was an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and Min Gui became furious after hearing this.
This is nothing more than a shame!
What Liu Jin did was originally supposed to be done by them.
Now they are the biggest enemy of the people.
How could a person like Min Gui, who valued his reputation so much, not get furious?
On the other hand, Gu Zuo, who was sitting aside, was not as intense as before in the palace, and his mood was much calmer.
"I will send a note to the palace for this matter. If you don't want to fight, I will fight for it!"
In Min Gui's words, you are Gu Zuo who is sitting silently.
This was a bit disrespectful, but Minister Min had such a bad temper that he would even argue with the emperor when he was in a bad mood. Not to mention the younger generation Gu Zuo.
"Chaoying, calm down first." Han Wen stopped him, "Now that the matter is over, what's the use of you entering the palace now? Moreover, I believe that Li Qing will not dispute it. Who is Liu Jin? No matter how indifferent Li Qing is, Feng Qing will not watch him intervene. But...will fighting be useful? The emperor wants to abandon the people, no one can keep them, and the emperor wants to use the people, no one can stop them!"
Gu Zuo was recalling the emperor's last words. Everyone said that Gu Liqing was a favorite, but that was not the case. The emperor was the one who really dealt with things and not people.
Han Wen continued: "Chaoying, think about it again. The Jin Yiwei are the emperor's personal soldiers, so what? Sometimes your Majesty will think of some affection, but when it comes to specific matters, whoever is useful will be used. Whoever is not useful will be discarded. who."
Min Gui's eyes widened in anxiety, "If things continue like this, wouldn't they be full of lucky ministers?"
"Then, what does Minister Min want to argue with His Majesty?" Gu Zuo suddenly asked.
"Of course the Chief of Ceremonies shouldn't get involved in this matter!"
"Your Majesty will ask, why can't the Supervisor of Ceremonies intervene?"
"What do you mean by this, Minister Li? Eunuchs interfering in government are a sign of chaos!"
"Your Majesty will say that he had no intention of asking eunuchs to interfere in politics. It was because civil servants were not good at it."
"How could it not be done well? I, Min Gui, am doing this with my head high, but I want to see whether I can do it well or not?"
"But the fact is," Gu Zuo took a breath and emphasized his tone, "the civil servants did not do a good job."
Min Gui was still unconvinced, "What does that mean? Let the eunuchs do it?"
Such arguments are fruitless.
…
In the Palace of Qianqing, Jin Gui took advantage of Liu Jin's absence, his ministers' absence, and no one else in the attendant's room to suddenly say something to the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao was a little surprised, "This is your first time telling me these things."
"My minister, I am not good at words. Most of the time, I only know how to do things, but I don't know how to say things. Even today, there is something wrong. If I offend His Majesty, please punish me."
"There is no need for punishment. As the emperor, you can't let people around you talk nonsense, but you can't let people around you dare not say anything. The former is too soft, and the latter is too violent. Especially you, Jin Gui, have been so powerful since you were in the East Palace. You work by my side, you are quiet and taciturn, and you are devoted to you. How can I not trust you?
When you talk about the salt class case, the chief ceremonial supervisor and the court officials can still understand. But now that even a small matter has to be handled by the Chief of Ceremonies, the courtiers may worry about the eunuch party getting bigger. It even got to the point where... if anything happened, he would seek help from the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Let me tell you, I didn't think of this beforehand. "
Zhu Houzhao was sitting. It was cold in winter and he didn't want to go outside. So he crossed his legs on the couch, listened to the sound of the wind, and reviewed the memorials.
Jin Gui did not ask him to kneel down, but bent down and stood aside.
"Your Majesty's wisdom, judgment, wisdom and martial prowess have been recognized by the world. The original intention of the minister is not to say that your Majesty's concerns are flawed."
"It doesn't matter. Do you know why I didn't think of it?"
Jin Gui paused, "Your Majesty, please enlighten me."
"Because for the emperor, there is no difference between foreign ministers and internal ministers. If there are too many foreign ministers, they must be cured, and if there are too many internal ministers, they must be cured. As for loyalty, treachery, good and evil, although they are polar opposites, they are actually difficult to distinguish. Some people seem to be loyal, but they can't get things done, and some people seem to be traitors, but they can get things done. Do you think I should be loyal or traitorous?
Therefore, when I rule the country, I don’t only see black and white. There is no pure black or pure white between heaven and earth. If black works, use black; if white works, use white, and vice versa. The impact of this is not something I should consider. "
Jin Gui's heart was slightly shaken. The Emperor's words were so mature on the 17th day of the New Year.
The saying is not something I should consider, but the implication is that it is something they should consider!
To put it simply, the emperor only needs to show his way of employing people, and they are the ones who have to study this way!
If someone doesn't understand, the emperor still won't consider it. You can't live high in the temple, but far away from the rivers and lakes'.
But then...
Jin Gui pursed his lips.
"I only fear that traitors will take over."
Zhu Houzhao stopped writing in his hand, and then turned his head, "You are also my subject. For you, if you always act in accordance with my will, is this flattery or loyalty? Repeatedly not acting in accordance with my will is disobedience. Upright or upright?"
"I think it depends on the specific matter. The sage also said that there is a way to divide a country and there is no way to divide it."
"So who decides whether there is a way or not?"
"Naturally all people in the world."
"All the people in the world? I issued an order to open the sea. The common people praised it, and all the officials also condemned it. Are the voices of all the people in the world praising or condemning?"
"this……"
"So, in the final analysis, it is up to you to define what is right or wrong. But whether what I am doing is right or not, why should you decide?"
"Wei Chen..."
Zhu Houzhao did not argue with him, "You are not good at words, so just learn from your strong points to make up for your shortcomings. Of course, you will still say whatever you have in the future. I like your words today."
Jin Gui was greatly shocked. The emperor actually said that he liked what he said was very offensive and harsh.
What a magnanimous emperor this is.
So he knelt down and knelt down and said, "My Emperor is Holy Ming!"
Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and continued writing.
In fact, Jin Gui's words touched another thought in his mind.
If civil servants are not useful, eunuchs must be used.
Moreover, there is nothing to say about the matter itself. Mao Yuwen was still punished if he did something wrong. This has nothing to do with the difference between factory guards and civil servants.
Not long after, something was handed over from Dongchang.
Zhu Houzhao twirled his fingers and opened it. What was written on it was how Mao Yuwen rectified the Jinyiwei incident last night.
After thinking for a moment, he spoke out,
"deliver an imperial order."
You Zhi, who was waiting on the side, came forward and bowed.
"Mao Yuwen, deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards, is appointed as the commander."
"yes!"
You Zhi was very surprised. He had just been punished, and now he was rewarded. It had changed continuously in just one day. What was the purpose of this?
Actually it has two purposes. First, it is already in his heart not to deceive the emperor. With this, he can be a commander. And this unexpected reward will make this sentence more ingrained in Mao Yuwen's heart.
Secondly, the eunuchs and the cruel officials were promoted in order to convey the emperor's will more clearly to the outer court, because all the ministers knew that he was smart and would not do anything without reason, let alone being confused or angry. Support factory guards because they are easy to use. In this case, there is no need to say other noisy words in the palace!
