Chapter 26: Eyes and Ears

Gao Chi shook his hand: "Listen to the crime of King Qin Chu announced today, the emperor doesn't know anything about the palace of the kings, if you listen to it like this, you will ask someone to massage it when you go back, and it may be a crime in the future, and it is disrespectful."

If you want to say that after listening to King Qin's guilt for a day today, Zhang Zhaohua's only feeling is - how can King Qin be so evil, how can he be so evil, how can he act so wantonly, and the emperor is too, he did not hesitate to reprimand him with the most heart-wrenching words, and felt that he died like this, which was quite happy.

Let's look at the various evil and ugly things that King Qin did in "Ji Feilu", "If you don't repair the national government, you will open a pond in the royal city." He built a pavilion in the middle and built a mountain of earth. The story of making glaze in each kiln is thought to be a play, so laborious that "building pools, rockeries, pavilions or burning glaze in the royal city like this is just ordinary, and then the emperor's accusations are shocking."

For example, "Wu Tai, who sent Chen Po to the same fire, went to Suzhou and Hangzhou and other mansions to buy a woman who looked like a paper painting, and I had nowhere to find it, so I sent someone to urge me to get it for the second time, and Wu Tai, the fire man, was ripped off his knee and Chen Po was killed in Hangzhou." When he got the silver from Beiping, he returned to one, and taught the guards to take stones to fry the silver in the silver cave, so that the soldiers were frozen. ”

The king of Qin not only bought jewelry without giving money, but also listened to Xi Po's temptation to say that the captain used rotten money to forcibly exchange gold, causing the people to "sell their children's houses on loans", and an old man saw that he was tired of buying gold, and the people could not bear it, so they knelt outside the palace and prayed, but the king of Qin put the old man in the gatehouse where he was, ordered him not to eat, and starved him to death.

Zhang Zhaohua was furious when she heard this, because it reminded her of the arrest of her father and brother in the Zhou Palace, and sure enough, the actions of these vassal kings were the same, and the emperor was also clear, but he endured it, or at most wrote a letter to persuade or let Changshi admonish him, without any punishment - until the death of King Qin, these charges were announced. In this way, it is also an internal document circulation, and it is not the kind that is announced to the world, that is to say, it is still covering up for his son.

She turned sideways, pointed to her shoulder and asked Handong to continue the massage, and said, "Where is the messenger resting?"

"Cheng Fengsi," Gao Chi said: "At this time, it should be Changshi to accompany the banquet." ”

"You just said that the emperor knows everything about every palace," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Didn't you say that as early as the twentieth year of Hongwu, the emperor abolished the Jinyi Guard, ordered the burning of torture instruments, and put all the inner and outer prisons under the three legal divisions for trial?"

"You're talking about the prison record and prison survey," Gao Chi sighed and said, "Jinyi Guard also has other duties, such as guarding honor guards and patrolling and arresting. ”

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly realized that Jinyiwei is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and the so-called detective's responsibility is to provide the emperor with the latest, fastest and most complete information, but it is a pity that this information is to spy on the privacy of his subjects, not to obtain confidential information about other countries.

"Then what do you mean," Zhang Zhaohua waved his hand to let Handong and Hanshuang go down, and said, "In our house, there are also the eyes and ears of the emperor." ”

Gao Chi sat up and said, "There must be, but we don't know who it is." ”

"Ouch," Zhang Zhaohua sighed twice, shook his head and sighed: "It's like when you sleep, someone stands in front of the bed and keeps staring at you, can you sleep soundly?"

Gao Chi said: "As long as you are doing it right, where are you afraid of staring in the dark, our house has always been strict and fair, without the slightest privacy, you can be frank and open in front of people to show people, this is the reason why we are not on the list in "Ji Feilu". ”

Zhang Zhaohua suddenly sneered and said: "There is no privacy - that father takes Yan Shanwei to travel 2,000 miles every spring and autumn, and only comes back to the border of Haiti when he fishes, saying that he is chasing the dead and chasing the north, and chasing the remnants of the former Yuan, but in fact, he is actually training soldiers, such a thing, you tell me that there is no privacy?"

Gao Chi's eyelids moved slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, every year in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mongolian people go south to loot, and my father leads the troops to resist and drive away, how can you think of training soldiers?"

"The emperor may not know that his father trained the soldiers," Zhang Zhaohua said: "But he thinks that Beiping is the first line of the fight against the Mengyuan Dynasty, and the soldiers and generals really need to be pulled out for exercise, which is better than the Taiyuan side, where the King of Jin has so many soldiers and horses in vain but the swords and guns are in the warehouse and he doesn't move, it's just to turn a blind eye - these things can be tolerated by the emperor, but if he changes the grandson, can this be something he tolerates?"

"Have you seen the above of "Ji Feilu"," Zhang Zhaohua said: "King Qin has so many crimes, but he is only said to be 'evil', but the King of Jingjiang has to be called 'tired and evil', whether the King of Qin waited for death to announce the guilt, or was buried with the etiquette of the prince, but the King of Jingjiang was deposed when he was alive, and he was abolished twice, and finally imprisoned Fengyang for life!"

"What do you mean by that?" Gao Chi looked at her with a frown.

"Why don't you understand," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Who is the King of Jingjiang, the grandson of the emperor's eldest brother, the king of Nanchang, and the nephew of the emperor, who is separated by two generations, how can the relationship between the relatives be comparable to the relationship between the king of Qin and the emperor's father and son?

"It's because the relationship between relatives is far away," Zhang Zhaohua said: "If you are not a close relative, you don't need to show favoritism, because there is no favoritism to show favoritism." In the same way, when the grandson comes one day, look at these uncles, how can they compare to his sons, and when the time comes, can he tolerate these uncles to continue to do evil, he can't wait to announce these charges to the world, and then clean everyone up in the name of justice. Now the emperor has asked Changshi to teach the vassal king, and when he is in the hands of the grandson, he will take the title and abolish the concubine and leave a place for his son, even if our house is worthy of asking himself, as long as he can't see it, how long can it be saved?"

"Okay," Gao Chi stood up, got off the couch and walked to Zhang Zhaohua's side with his shoes on, reached out and pinched her chin to force her to raise her head: "You must know that we are courtiers, and we will do our duties in front of the emperor, and we will do our duties in front of the grandson in the future, that's all, we are worthy of our hearts." The more clearly you see, the more confused your future will be. ”

After he finished saying this, he went to sleep, leaving only Zhang Zhaohua to sit on the chair and not move for a long time.

The next day, the prisoner explained the crime of King Qi again, saying that King Qi "summoned the life officer Chen Sheng to teach singing and music, and when the court learned that he sent someone to extract Chen Sheng, he hanged himself to death", that is to say, what the people from the Yin Yamen of the Jingshi Mansion said was true, the King of Qi was such a nature, and when he made a mistake and waited for the court to investigate, he either threw the corpse out, or simply broke the bones and scattered ashes, so that the court had nothing to inspect at all.

Speaking of the crime of Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, it really makes people laugh, because the emperor said, "I moved to Yunnan, and when I was recalled, I asked Yunnan and passed through the prefectures and counties, the cities are wide and narrow, the mountains and rivers are dangerous and easy, and the folk customs are unknown, and there is no such person who is stupid since ancient times." ”

In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, did a very incomprehensible thing, "abandoned the country without authorization", and suddenly ran back to Fengyang with his wife and children from Kaifeng, the emperor was very angry, and degraded him to Yunnan for a year.

After the result came back, the emperor summoned him to the front and asked him how the geography of Yunnan's mountains and rivers and customs, how the folk customs were, and the king of Zhou did not know three questions, that is to say, this year to Yunnan was to get on the car to sleep, get off the car to pee, and go to the scenic spots to have fun.

The emperor was so angry that he scolded him for being a more stupid person than him from ancient times to the present.

In fact, Zhang Zhaohua knew that the king of Zhou was angry that the emperor did not allow them to stay in the capital to lay the spirit of the queen of the horse, so he did the thing of abandoning the country, and went to Yunnan for a year, he could not say that he didn't know anything, because the king of Zhou was also a literati, and the emperor also knew that he was a son of literature and art, and specially gave twenty-seven musicians to accompany him.
