Chapter 30: Zhu Qizhen's Decision

Li Shimian was imprisoned, and Yang Pu entered the palace and said that he was fainted by anger. And Li Shimian was cut off from the news of the edict, and his family could not visit.

Many people rumored that Li Shimian was dead.

Li Shimian has been teaching in Guozijian for many years, and the students of Guozijian have made a fuss, and there are many low-level civil officials, and countless seals have flown to Ouchi.

It's a pity that Zhu Qizhen is not in the big house, and these performances are directly thrown into the furnace in the celebrant supervisor. Even in the catalogue of Zhu Qizhen's recitals, there will be no such recitals.

At this time, the secret music that Zhu Qizhen received was no longer just the secret music of the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen has been the emperor for so many years, although Wang Zhen is very powerful, Zhu Qizhen still has news channels to bypass Wang Zhen.

Countless people and others piled up in front of Zhu Qizhen.

Let Zhu Qizhen have a general understanding of things.

Running all the way, the inner thighs were bleeding, but at this moment, Zhu Qizhen didn't seem to feel the pain at the root of his thighs.

He thought about it over and over again in his heart, but it was Wang Zhen.

From the first day he came to this world, Wang Zhen was the biggest supporter, accompanying him through the days when he was scared.

But over the years, Wang Zhen has had a lot of small actions, and Zhu Qizhen is not unaware.

First, this can be regarded as a reward, and secondly, from the outside, Wang Zhen can be regarded as a hero to Zhu Qizhen, if Zhu Qizhen does not protect Wang Zhen, wouldn't it show that Zhu Qizhen is too mean and unkind.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen also beat Wang Zhen, but there were too many things, so he let them go. As long as he didn't miss the major events of the imperial court, Zhu Qizhen didn't know.

But people change.

Just like Zhu Qizhen, he is no longer the nine-year-old child who behaved in a hurry and was at a loss, and Wang Zhen was not a eunuch who had no status in the palace and mixed seniority by the prince's side.

Zhu Qizhen has basically controlled the imperial court, although many things cannot be arbitrary, but the overall trend of the Ming Dynasty is under his control.

And Wang Zhen is even more under one person, above 10,000 people, and even the first assistant of the cabinet, the British duke and other dukes, are also looked down upon.

Wang Zhen's loyalty, Zhu Qizhen never doubted.

But what Zhu Qizhen is thinking about now is not Wang Zhen's loyalty or disloyalty.

It is the positioning of the entire eunuch system in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Zhen is a force in the eunuch system and in the political ecology of the Ming Dynasty. On this side, there are celebrant eunuchs inside, factory guards outside, and town guards and eunuchs from all over the country.

Under the indulgence of the Empress Dowager and the efforts of Wang Zhen, this group has been expanding after ten years of Xuande.

This is the helper arranged for Zhu Qizhen by the empress dowager who is worried that Zhu Qizhen will not be able to suppress the people below.

But now, does Zhu Qizhen need this helper?

Answer:

No, you don't.

The power of the Ming Emperor has always been supreme. But the same authority plays different roles in the hands of different people, and Zhu Qizhen can now confidently control Tai'a. No one else.

Therefore, the first need for Wang Zhen's existence is no longer there.

So, is Wang Zhen conducive to Zhu Qizhen's implementation of his own policies?

The answer is even more no.

Although the factory guards and even the eunuchs in other places are beneficial to the imperial power. But the problem is that it is known as the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. The officials of various places are not the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, if the emperor does not have prestige, the status officials will naturally not take the emperor too seriously, and perhaps people will pay more attention to the elders.

But the question is, isn't that the case with eunuchs?

What has Wang Zhen done recently? blatantly manipulated the folds delivered by the celebrant and the celebrant.

As soon as Zhu Qizhen thought about it, he felt a hatred in his heart, and said secretly: "Does Wang Zhen think I'm too easy to talk." ”

Although the eunuchs are obedient, they want to rely on the eunuchs to implement national policies. Zhu Qizhen doesn't need to think about it to know that it can't be done, it's a lesson from the future, whether Emperor Wanli's mining tax policy is good or bad, regardless of it for the time being, just because he sent eunuchs to collect taxes, and directly turned tax collection into a clear robbery, so that the whole world opposed it, it proves that counting on this eunuch to implement the national policy is not to think about it.

Although the civilian clique is a little difficult to deal with, there are still some things that cannot be separated from them.

Many people think that it is not easy to find someone to be an official?

But in fact it is not easy.

Not to mention, such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Pu and other old ministers polished over the years, each of them is a treasure. Needless to say, contemporary, even in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to say that it can be replaced.

Ordinary petty officials still do it, but there are very few people who can preside over the state apparatus of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that Wang Zhen is not such a person.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen wants to make a difference in state affairs, even if he is constantly fighting with ministers like Yang Pu in private, Zhu Qizhen is inseparable from them.

But what Wang Zhen did before, Zhu Qizhen can still tolerate it, isn't he just greedy for a little money and a little wealth?

But who is Li Shimian?

He is the leader of Shilin and a hero.

Zhu Qizhen still remembers Li Shimian's contribution to the establishment of the customs system.

Can such a minister be humiliated?

If Zhu Qizhen doesn't seek justice for Li Shimian today, then who will do things for the court in the future.

Zhu Qizhen hurried up because he wanted to return to Beijing before Li Shimian's accident, on the one hand, to save Li Shimian, and on the other hand, to Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhenyu has been in love with him for many years after all.

If Li Shimian is okay today, Zhu Qizhen's disposal of Wang Zhen can also be lifted high and gently put down, but once something really happens to Li Shimian.

For the anger of Ping Shilin, Zhu Qi

The town can only slash the horse with tears.

But now, Zhu Qizhen has to plan for the worst.

Wang Zhen has relied on Zhu Qizhen's trust for many years, and it has already spread from the palace and become a huge political group.

But how to reduce the turmoil in the palace to the extreme does not hinder the imperial court, but Zhu Qizhen should pay attention to.

Who knows what will happen to the last moment of loyalty?

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and issued a secret order for Liu Yongcheng to come to see him.

Zhu Qizhen slowed down instead, blocking the news that he was about to go to Beijing, and only after Liu Yongcheng arrived, Zhu Qizhen was ready to enter Beijing.

Wang Zhen didn't know that Zhu Qizhen was not far from Jingshi.

He's still in prison at the moment. Li Shimian is being arraigned.

In the edict prison, Li Shimian's treatment is not bad, after all, he is a member of the imperial court, and in the edict prison, it is still a single room. It's like an ordinary person's study.

Wang Zhen brought people in, pushed the door in, and said, "Mr. Li, I haven't seen you for many years, but now are you okay?" ”

Li Shimian's expression was faint without a trace of waves, and said: "Over the years, Li has been worthy of admiration. What's so bad. It's Wang Zhen, how much have you done over the years, you also read the book of sages at the beginning, and now you think it's good? ”

Wang Zhen was originally with a desire for revenge and was triumphant. But now when I heard Li Shimian say this, I suddenly became angry in my heart, but I didn't know where to vent.

Wang Zhen was born in Xiucai, otherwise he would not have become Zhu Qizhen's enlightenment teacher. I also read the books of the sages at the beginning. Now that he is in power, there are naturally many things that do not conform to the way of the sages.

Wang Zhen hadn't thought about it before, but in the face of Li Shimian, it seemed that he saw a mirror for a while, reflecting himself. I don't know if it's shame or self-shame, which makes Wang Zhen's anger uncontrollable, Wang Zhen sneered and said: "Mr. Li is good, I'm relieved, because you will soon be bad." ”

"I know that Mr. Li is an old guest in prison, I made it clear. Today, Mr. Li doesn't want to come out of here alive, confess his mistakes and admit his guilt as soon as possible according to my arrangement, I can give Mr. Li a happy one, and plead with His Majesty to let Mr. Li stop his crimes, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Li Shimian listened, looked up to the sky and laughed, and said: "Li has nothing to be proud of in his life, and the only thing he is proud of is this iron bone. Wang Zhen wants me to admit your false sin, and come and try it, let me taste it, compared with the Jinyiwei of the Taizong Dynasty, the old craftsmanship of this Jinyiwei has not changed. ”

Wang Zhen said: "Okay, since Mr. Li has such a Yaxing, our family will take him down as you wish, and comb it well." ”

Wang Zhen added an accent to the two words of combing, and it was not a simple combing to think about it.

Wang Zhen gave an order, and naturally a few Jinyi guards came up and pulled Li Shimian down.
