Chapter 68: Fight but not break
At this time, Zhu Houzhao also realized this, and made this salt and iron division out by himself, in order to do things, and at the same time, it will also be a battlefield, a battlefield between civil servants and nobles, and a battlefield between gentry and noble merchants. The emperor opened up the battlefield, and most of the time he chose two, one was to abolish the queen, and the other was to seize the heir.
The battlefield opened up by Emperor Jiajing was a great etiquette and he ended up in person, but he soon realized that it was not possible for him to end up in person, so there was Yan Song behind.
I want the salt and iron division, that is to do things, and at the same time I want it to become a battlefield, starting from the appointment of officials, this is a battlefield, but this battle has raised it by itself. Once the emperor forcibly appoints the Duke of Dingguo, it will be a struggle between civil officials and imperial power, in fact, Zhu Houzhao never thought of bringing the struggle to the face, tearing his face or tearing his face.
On the surface, it is necessary to maintain a situation of fighting but not breaking, and at the same time achieve the goal of differentiation and accumulating wealth, if a big incident occurs, it will be against their original intention.
Zhu Houzhao figured out this layer, and instantly understood what his father meant, and at the same time, Zhu Houzhao also knew who to choose, but looking at his father's smug expression, Zhu Houzhao knew what he should do, and bowed down a little frustratedly: "My son is negligent, and I ask my father to teach me!" ”
Looking at his son's appearance, Zhu Youzhu nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "It's good to know that it's good to reflect on yourself, this matter is actually easy to do, you just arrange a civil official, or let the cabinet draw up a few names and let them pinch it themselves." Zhao'er, you must know that the officials of this world can't get off if you sit down. ”
"It's an addiction to being an official!" Zhu Youzhu sighed and said: "An official hat, the small one wants to be big, the big one wants to be bigger, for the sake of an official hat, some people can do everything." ”
Zhu Houzhao sighed, not to mention anything else, Dad is really perfect in terms of people's hearts!
"By the time they're almost over, there's going to be a end to it, right? At this time, they should think of their father! Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand and patted Zhu Houzhao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You don't have to use anyone, when the time comes, that person will come out by himself, the army is impermanent, the water is impermanent, that's the truth." ”
It's all knowledge!
Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, and looked at Zhu Youzhu with admiration and respect on his face, so Zhu Youzhi left proudly.
Zhu Houzhao, who returned to Xianyang Palace, nodded and beckoned Liu Jin to his side, and then ordered: "Change your clothes and go to Xiyuan!" Glancing at Wang Shouren not far away, Zhu Houzhao said, "You come with me!" ”
Wang Shouren has been in the East Palace these days, and he has also heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made a prince in Xiyuan, but he has only heard of this thing, but he has never seen it. Now when he heard that the prince was going to take him over, Wang Shouren suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
When Zhu Houzhao was about to go out, the group came to the prison of the Criminal Department, led by Min Qi, the secretary of the Criminal Department.
Min Jue is not the most attractive in this group, the most attractive is a person in the crowd, this is a young man of a small grade, with a white face and no beard, judging from the color of his skin, this person should be a little eunuch. It can be seen that this little eunuch is not very old, but his status should not be low.
"Father-in-law Gu, this is Tang Yin's prison cell!" Min Jue looked at Gu Dayong and said expressionlessly.
As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Min Jue naturally doesn't need to be too big with Gu, this is just a little eunuch beside the prince.
However, Gu Dayong didn't dare to slack off on Min Jue at all, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm tired of Min Shangshu!" ”
Min Jue nodded, and then said, "Then Tang Yin will be handed over to Grandpa Gu here!" After saying this, Min Jue turned his head and left, he wanted to see that the person was naturally not Tang Yin, nor Xu Jing, but Cheng Minzheng. Thinking of the court's treatment of the three people, Min Jue sighed helplessly.
Min Jue didn't know how to evaluate this matter, Cheng Minzheng dismissed and returned to his hometown, and the future that could have entered the cabinet was now ruined.
Presiding over the examination, this is a key step for the Ministry of Rites to enter the cabinet, no matter what the reason, Cheng Minzheng messed up.
Looking at the back of Min Jue leaving, Gu Dayong stood up and said to the people around him: "Open the door!" ”
Be polite to Min Jue, to others, Gu Dayong doesn't have to be so polite, there are not many people around the prince who can make him polite.
The officials of the Criminal Department who were standing on the side naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to open the door of the prison cell, and Gu Dayong walked in. This is a single room, straw is scattered all over the ground, there is a net bucket not far away, there is no table or stool, obviously Tang Yin has not received any special care.
The smell inside the cell was not very good, Gu Dayong felt that it was very pungent, if it wasn't for the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, he really didn't want to come to this kind of place.
On the straw mat, Tang Yin looked at Gu Dayong fixedly, how could there be a father-in-law? Tang Yin didn't expect this. The case of fraud in the imperial examination is not small, but this is a case of an outer court, and it basically does not alarm the eunuchs and other internal servants. The emperor has already sent a brocade guard to investigate thoroughly, why did a eunuch come here?
"You're Tang Yin?" Gu Dayong looked at Tang Yin and said with a smile: "You don't know our family, but it doesn't matter, our family Gu Dayong is serving by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Tang Yin was even more confused, and at the same time a little unclear So, this is the person next to the prince? What are the prince's people doing here?
Seeing that Tang Yin didn't speak, the expression on Gu Dayong's face did not change at all, and he continued: "Our family came here today on the imperial order of His Royal Highness the Prince, and our family will first tell you about you, first of all, about the disposal of the case this time. ”
Listening to Gu Dayong's words, Tang Yin stood up from the ground suddenly, looked at Gu Dayong, and said in a trembling voice, "Really? ”
Tang Bohu, who had experienced great ups and downs, was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he finally cleared up this grievance.
"Although the case has been clarified, after you and Xu Jing entered Beijing, you intended to make friends with the undergraduate examiner, misbehaved, did not avoid suspicion, cut off the status of the officer, and dismissed as an official!" Gu Dayong looked at Tang Yin and continued to speak in a calm tone, the smile on his face did not change at all.
Tang Yin's expression changed greatly, his body shook, and then he took a step back suddenly, holding on to the wall, and supporting his body: "How can this be?" How so! ”
Gu Dayong looked at Tang Yin and said, "This was planned before, but someone interceded for you and kept your status as a servant, so you don't have to be a servant." ”
