Wang Xuan received a fine of half a year's salary and left the palace.
Zhu Houzhao walked back and forth in the hall.
He doesn't understand.
When he looked up and saw Liu Jin, this guy also realized something smartly.
"Slave... I'll send someone to check now."
"No."
Zhu Houzhao frowned, paused for a moment, touched his nose and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter."
The title of Supervisor of Ceremonies is still a bit sensitive.
Wei Ningbo was a distinguished member of the imperial court, and Wang Yue had just passed away a few years ago. As an emperor, even if there are some doubts, there is no need to use the Chief of Ceremony to investigate the matter.
If someone discovered it, Xunchen would probably be disappointed.
In the Salt Course case, he had already eliminated two honorable ministers, Marquis Yongkang and Bo Nanning, so it was not appropriate to stir up trouble at this time.
More importantly, although Wei Ningbo's performance was somewhat unexpected, it was not shocking. He had only seen him once.
Even if the Superintendent of Ceremonies really goes to turn Uncle Weining's house upside down, what will happen? Is it possible to uncover a great talent like Wang Yue from inside?
In fact, from the emperor's point of view, he very much hoped that there would be someone worthy of a big job among the nobles.
After they are all loyal ministers, they share the glory and wealth with the royal family. As long as the emperor handles them properly, the loyalty of this type of people is still reliable.
It's a pity that most people are unable to recreate the glory of their ancestors.
Of course Liu Jin was smart, but he only wanted to satisfy the emperor, and probably would not consider this section from the overall layout of the court like Zhu Houzhao did.
As for this Wei Ningbo...
It's actually not difficult.
Lu Yao knows the power of the horse. Whether he can do his job cannot be found out through investigation. In the final analysis, it still depends on his performance.
"Did Uncle Weining say something, but he didn't accomplish anything?"
Jin Gui replied, "That's right."
"I understand."
Since he has the intention to perform meritorious deeds, this matter is quite simple. The noble minister was greatly discouraged by his emperor, and most of the time the emperor appeared to be selfless. Now, a count who had made a mistake was still appointed by the emperor, which came at the right time.
In fact, Liu Jin and Jin Gui could probably understand the emperor's question.
The emperor's approach showed more patience and stability.
But in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, right or wrong, right or wrong... these all come down to what matters.
What is the importance of knowing or not knowing the truth about Weiningbo Mansion? As long as he does have the ability to do something, that's enough.
The way of employing people is consistent.
This is the emperor before them.
Now looking back and thinking about it,
Obviously, there are completely different feelings when the emperor investigates an honorable minister who performs surprisingly well, and when the emperor appoints him.
"Then... Wang Huan of Weiningbo Mansion, I wonder what your Majesty wants to do with him?"
Zhu Houzhao turned around and asked gently: "What does he have to do with this matter?"
"Forehead……"
Liu Jin was also stunned, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly reacted, "I understand, this slave."
Things have started to change in the Evernight City, so naturally it won't end just because of Uncle Weining. In other words, one code will return to the other.
However, Wei Ningbo's entry into the palace this time has eased the overall tension. It is unlikely that they will escape from prison, but basically these two people are not in danger of their lives.
"Go ahead. This case is not difficult. If we settle it earlier, we will give the people an explanation and let everyone spend New Year's Eve with peace of mind."
Essentially this is a crisis of trust. As long as the court steps in to reverse the outcome, the public security office's credibility will naturally remain, because the emperor is behind it.
Liu Jin's style is by no means low-key. Sometimes there are advantages to publicity, which is to publicize the matter widely.
What Zhu Houzhao had to consider more was what kind of task he should assign to Uncle Wei Ning.
He is a military commander, but he can't trust him with important military affairs. Putting such a high-status but uncertain person in the border army will make everyone feel uncomfortable.
Jin Gui saw that the emperor was having trouble making up his mind and asked, "Your Majesty, are you worried about Uncle Wei Ning's whereabouts?"
"What's your best advice?"
"I am stupid, but the attendant's office always records the political affairs that concern your majesty. One of them may be suitable."
Zhu Houzhao really didn't expect that for a while, such an honorable minister who said he was neither useless nor useless, and even said he was capable, would be placed in the Governor's Mansion for retirement. He would have a lot of choices, but what could be included in the government affairs that he cared about?
"Tell me."
Jin Gui half-raised his arm, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Min Mu?"
"The herdsmen of Hebei?"
"good."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, this was indeed good.
With his support, the Ma Zheng of the Ming Dynasty has rapidly reversed its decline and grown stronger. Of course, this is the official and animal husbandry, and the corresponding civilian and animal husbandry are gradually withdrawing.
This trend of advance and retreat is accelerating.
Needless to say, the dangers of pastoralism are harmful.
Although Zhu Houzhao has a bad history, he still remembers the Liu Liu and Liu Qi uprisings in the fifth year of Zhengde.
When it comes to horses, the imperial court must first supply the army, whether they are war horses or horses for logistics transportation. If a war really breaks out, they will have to breed them on official horse farms, buy them from the Western Regions, and then recruit them from the people.
Under this situation, the private use of horses must be very tense.
But even so, Zhu Houzhao can't control so much.
The common people have begun to revolt, and you cannot continue to maintain this policy of herding people even if you have great reasons.
According to historical records, beginning in the fifth year of Zhengde, this group of thieves moved to South Zhili, North Zhili, Shandong, Henan, and Huguang. These were all in the hinterland of the Central Plains, lasted for three years, and endangered the capital three times.
So Minmu has to withdraw no matter what.
To put it ten thousand steps back, there would be no use for horses and all mules would be used. The situation would be better than suppressing rebellions everywhere.
Besides, the common people are so miserable that they can't even feed themselves, how can they be expected to raise good horses?
In the past few years, with the increase in the number of official horse farms, the North Zhili region, on a county basis, has gradually withdrawn from the policy of raising horses for the common people, and the spare labor force has returned to farmland on the one hand, and also moved to Beijing on the other. Working.
Among them, the people and herdsmen in the capital area, that is, Shuntian Prefecture, have been retreating for several years and are nearing the end.
Shuntian Prefecture governs 22 counties. Among them, Daxing, Wanping, and Bazhou, which have the most serious conflicts, have all withdrawn from the herdsmen. The remaining six counties include Gu'an, Yongqing, Changping Prefecture (leading 3 counties), and Zhuozhou (leading 1 county). Counties are still queuing up.
It's said to be a queue, but in fact, since some other states and counties began to cancel civilian animal husbandry, the people who were still suffering from Ma Zheng began to become more intolerable.
The court had no choice but to speed up. ·
So this matter, to this extent, is simple to say the least. After all, it goes in the direction of easing social conflicts.
But it is difficult to say. A society with sharp contradictions is in the process of transformation, and if it is not handled properly, it can easily lead to civil unrest on a certain scale.
Of course, because social conflicts are generally easing, even if there is chaos, the court has the ability to control it.
So this thing is indeed relatively appropriate.
Furthermore, Ma Zheng belongs to the military government, and it is legitimate for the officials to contact each other.
Zhu Houzhao knew it well, "Don't make any noise about this matter now. We will talk about it after the case is concluded."
"Yes." Jin Gui answered honestly.
at the same time,
Weiningbo Wang Xuan ran home with a feeling of escaping from his own life. When he got home, he went to Yueyuan.
"Zhimei! Zhimei! Everything is just as you expected. Although your Majesty asked harshly, he treated it with care and let go. Apart from the fine, he didn't say anything else."
There was an unconcealable excitement on his face.
After Wang Zhi heard this, she felt settled in her heart. She could only speculate, but the man in the Forbidden City was unpredictable and acted strangely, so she was somewhat worried about what might happen.
"It's good luck this time. Second brother must never do this again in the future. Jinshang is extremely smart. With second brother's qualifications, there is nothing good he can do except be honest and obedient."
Wang Xuan didn't feel too 'offended' by his sister saying this. Firstly, he had been like this since he was a child. Secondly, he survived this disaster thanks to having such a sister in his family.
To be honest, it was both happiness and pressure for my grandfather to pass away and leave such a large family fortune on his head.
Wei Ning Bo is not like other honorable ministers.
They are only a few generations old.
Of course, Wang Xuan still felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't want to see us people. I'm afraid there will be no chance of contact in the future. Even if you want to be honest and obedient, it depends on Your Majesty." .”
Wang Zhi turned her head and looked out the window. She had a beautiful profile, with a swan-white neck and translucent hair, and blue hair adorning her cheeks, like a beautiful picture scroll.
"If you don't have a chance, you don't have a chance. The court is full of turmoil, and it's a blessing to stay out of it."
As a girl, of course she can think so.
On the other hand, what can you do if you don’t think so? Are you going to have a fight in the court?
But Wang Xuan found it difficult to fully accept it.
He had studied in the Imperial College and the Academy, and what he saw in his eyes was that others were rising through the ranks, and there were also former classmates who followed Zhou Shangwen on the battlefield and made contributions.
As for him, he is the grandson of Wang Yue and inherits the title of Duke Weining. Logically speaking, he should be better than those people. Therefore, how can he accept the reality that "it is a blessing to stay out of the matter" with peace of mind?
"It's just that in this way, no one can inherit my grandfather's reputation and mantle. My grandfather always said that it would be better if you were a man... My second brother is also a person who has read books and knows shame. Every time I think of this In just one sentence, you will feel ashamed to be a man and a grandson of your grandfather."
Wang Zhi glanced at his second brother.
She had been thinking that the emperor should have made a selection when choosing someone to inherit the title.
Because in her impression, although her second brother was not particularly smart, he had read books after all, had the most peaceful temperament, and was the most low-key person.
Unlike other brothers, he will not attract anyone's attention.
So if you didn't choose it specially, why did you choose such a person with no sense of existence?
"Second brother, do you really think so?"
Wang Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "...I have just become a knight, but I have no ambition anymore. I have secretly thought about it in my heart. However, my second brother also knows that he is not that capable."
"Second brother, there's something in his words, right?"
"After all, I can't hide it from you. Second brother wants to ask, if you are willing to help me with that choice?"
Wang Zhi got up and walked to the courtyard.
"The general trend of the world changes with the emperor. The fate of us people also changes with the emperor. My second brother and I both prosper and lose. If the second brother wants to fight, why don't I help?"
Wang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this, "Okay! The second brother will find an opportunity and go ask for a job from His Majesty!"
"I have already asked for it for my second brother."
In fact, she was waiting for her second brother to ask her, just to confirm his intentions.
At that time, Uncle Weining was famous all over the world, and he completed the feat of becoming a civil servant. Even if his descendants no longer have the ability, how can they safely stay in this Yueyuan?
