In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen looked at the memorials of Shi Biao, Han Yong and others and sighed softly.
These memorials are all reporting Shi Heng's execution.
The letters from Chengen and others also arrived in the capital yesterday.
Shi Heng is dead.
Now it’s a question of the aftermath.
Zhang Bao was waiting aside, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's arrangements.
Zhu Jianshen felt a little melancholy, or perhaps a little sad.
Shi Heng is a good general. If you work under him, he will never treat you badly. He is a good big brother and a good uncle, but he is not a good minister.
Because no qualified emperor could tolerate him, even his own father killed Shi Heng, which shows Shi Heng's failure as an official.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were nearly 70,000 civil servants, and even more in terms of official positions. There were more than 10,000 hereditary military officials, and there were more than 300 noble families.
No one can be truly selfless. Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor, and his family belongs to him. In the context of the family, the country, and the world, it is human nature to care more about the family and have more desires. As long as he does not violate national laws, Zhu Jianshen will not do too much. ask.
Zhu Jianshen understands the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Of course, this is also due to a sense of powerlessness. A few years ago, Zhu Jianshen felt that as long as the salaries of officials were increased, corruption would be reduced and these officials would have less desire. But when Zhu Jianshen has been emperor for a long time, He also knows his immaturity.
The Ming Dynasty was too big, with too many officials, and it was impossible to do everything in detail. There were still many dark places in some dark corners.
Therefore, Zhu Jianshen also changed his mind. At this stage, he used Menda to purchase a complete information transmission chain for Jinyiwei at the lowest cost. At this time, he did not put much effort into targeting the official group.
If you want to go fast in the era of barbaric development, you must condone some barbaric things that happen...
Human greed is infinite, but ordinary people know how to hide their inner greed, but Shi Heng's greed was not hidden at all.
When he was an earl, he talked about being a marquis every day, and when he was a marquis, he talked about being a duke every day. What should he talk about when he became a duke?
Zhu Jianshen's original intention was not to let Shi Heng die. In his mind, Annan was Shi Heng's last battle. After the fight, he would keep Shi Heng in cold storage and let him retire in advance and go to Nanjing or return to his hometown of Shaanxi. Give him treatment as a prince...
But there was still a problem in this final battle.
Of course, Zhu Jianshen did not deny that part of Shi Heng's final madness was caused by himself, but no one was an almighty creature, and he could not predict the future. He originally arranged for Chen Ying to become the Duke of the country, but on his side, They will also arrange things for Shi Heng. Who knows, Shi Heng won't even be able to wait for a few months.
After Zhu Jianshen read many memorials, he turned to look at Zhang Bao.
"Zhang Daban, do you want me to retain the title of Marquis Wuyang?"
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to say anything about such a big matter."
After listening to Zhang Bao's words, Zhu Jianshen gave a wry smile. Now Zhang Bao did not dare to express his opinions in front of him. It seemed that he could not take off his label of being unkind and unkind. Even the people around him were embarrassed when facing him. Somewhat scared.
Of course, this is also the process of transformation into a real emperor. Which emperor who has made a difference is not a loner...
"Tell me what you think. Aren't I the one who makes the decision? But it doesn't matter."
After Zhang Bao listened to Zhu Jianshen's words, he said: "Yes, Your Majesty, although Marquis Wu Yang is dead now, many people know about the incident in Annan. Sooner or later, the nobles of the capital will know what happened in Annan. If His Majesty used the reason that he died of illness before the battle to retain the title of Marquis of Wuyang, I am afraid that the original deterrent effect would not be achieved."
Zhu Jianshen nodded: "It is said that Shi Heng was defeated and the country was humiliated by the loss of his master. In the process of escorting the capital, he committed suicide out of fear of crime."
Of course, both options have pros and cons. Retaining the title will not frighten the generals. If you do not retain the title, the news of the defeat will also frighten the civil servants.
Zhu Jianshen's original idea was to shock the generals, but now after listening to Zhang Bao's words, he immediately made a decision.
After Zhang Bao heard this, he quickly responded respectfully.
"We will deal with this matter in a while. The top priority now is to put an end to those things in Qufu."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Is there anything new in Li Xian's house?"
"Your Majesty, since Li Shoufu's second son went to Qufu, nothing happened anymore."
"I took advantage of the situation and put on a show to scare our chief minister, but I think Xu Youzhen didn't understand it at this time."
"But if you understand this thing, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it. It's a Yang conspiracy. If Li Xian sits firmly on the Diaoyutai and still doesn't ask, then he really needs to ask Menda to replace him. Things can still be done, but it will take a while later. Be more troublesome."
Zhang Bao chuckled when he heard this: "Your Majesty is wise, how can ordinary people easily understand your Majesty's plan?"
Zhu Jianshen listened to Zhang Bao's rainbow fart and smiled bitterly: "It's just a clumsy method."
"His Majesty's methods are very clever. Li Fuchen will be nervous whether he understands or not. Xu Du Yushi can also be more relaxed."
For so many years, few things in the palace were revealed, but Menda's secret letter to the emperor was specially arranged to be spread out. After it reached Li Xian's ears, Li Xian was instantly confused, and then He judged the authenticity of the matter from His Majesty the Emperor's ambiguous attitude, and learned about it from Shandong Lu Yu, and then he urgently started his own arrangements.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen had no idea of moving Yan Shenggong. He simply used Menda and showed an ambiguous attitude to achieve the desired effect. ŴŴŴ.BiQuGe.Biz
This is spending the least amount of energy to accomplish big things.
Zhu Jianshen did not move to Yan Shenggong, partly because of Li Xian. Li Xian's opponent was Xu Youzhen. He was not good at stabilizing the situation in the court. After his son-in-law was captured, his morale plummeted, and he was no longer a match for Xu Youzhen.
The second aspect is also because I feel sorry for Xu Youzhen. Yes, the unkind and unkind monarch really feels sorry for Xu Youzhen.
This guy has done so many shameless things for himself over the years. He can scold his father on his behalf at first, and fight loudly with others in the court on his behalf. Wen Neng and his red sleeves go out of their way to scold his colleagues. Wu Neng Beat the old man with fists and fists.
After being in power for so many years, he has never had a good reputation, it's all a stigma.
Because of Shi Heng's incident, Zhu Jianshen felt uncomfortable, so in the future he decided to find some good people and good things to do for Xu Youzhen, to increase his reputation and make him a controversial figure in the history books, rather than a one-sided attack and curse... …
The Confucius Mansion has too many fields and too many tenant farmers. If they are not allowed to hand it over, how can we arrange for other aristocratic families?
In Zhu Jianshen's mind, this matter was apparently done by Xu Youzhen, but the actual operator was Li Xian.
Although Yan Shenggong Kong Hongxu is arrogant, in the final analysis, he is still a white man. He is still a little afraid of his father-in-law, a bachelor. Coupled with the tense situation around him, as long as he is not stupid, he will make the right choice. …
