Chapter 66: First cut and then play

As soon as he arrived in Tianjin, Gao Han immediately notified the local Baihu Office, sent people, and took over the guards of these prisoners on the ship.

Of course, the news still has to be played to the emperor, what happened, as a result, as it was, Gao Han wrote an excerpt and sent it up, except for the release of Wei Zhongxian's nephew, Gao Han concealed it, and the rest was very detailed.

This is selfishness, how can you not say it to the emperor, he doesn't want to lose all the hundreds of diehard loyalists he has trained with great difficulty for this matter, in his mind, as long as the result of Wei Zhongxian's death remains unchanged, other things are actually nothing, at least, in the eyes of the emperor, this is nothing.

When he arrived in Tianjin and then went to the capital, he was not in a hurry, and even, on the way, he deliberately slowed down his trip, no way, this matter can be regarded as a prelude to the first and then a prelude, but how difficult the emperor's mind is to guess, he really doesn't know how the emperor will react.

If everyone can speculate about doing things randomly, then there is no rule.

This kind of thing must be no longer possible, even if the emperor is happy, he must also reprimand Gao Han for a few words, so as to cut off the luck of others to learn from it.

Therefore, Gao Han felt that it was better for him to walk slowly, and it was best to wait until a clear will or a reply from the palace came back, and then he would be "worthy" to arrive in the capital, which would be the best.

Wei Zhongxian's head was sent to the palace with the excerpt, this is a necessary process, and the link of verifying the body is very important, so important that the emperor can let go of all his worries, which is not sloppy at all.

Of course, Gao Han, who was walking slowly and leisurely on the road, didn't know what a big problem he had for the emperor.

Wei Zhongxian's departure from the capital seems to be just a short period of time, but in these short days in the palace, earth-shaking changes have taken place, and it is not too much to describe it with the word "cleaning".

As a result of the purge, a large number of selected guards and attendants were enriched into the ranks of the guards, and in the inner court, Wei Zhongxian's party, including officials who had been related to Wei Zhongxian's party, were all liquidated, or arrested or killed or expelled, without mercy, and even ordinary palace maids, eunuchs, and miscellaneous servants, also from their net worth to experience, and after careful investigation, they would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let go of one.

In fact, it seems to be very cold-blooded, but the effect is equally obvious, at least, now it is Zhu Youzhen, who can do what he wants to do freely in the palace, and no longer have to worry about the harm of others.

As far as the eye can see, it is all his Zhu Youzhen's people.

"Mr. Sue!"

Probably got the news of Gao Han today, Zhu Youzhen is in a very good mood, the person who has suppressed him for many years and made him afraid no longer exists, and the future Daming is the Daming that Zhu Youzhen can freely wield his mental blueprint, how can he be in a bad mood.

"Your Majesty has tormented the grass people!"

Su Tianyang, the professor of the Ten Princes' Mansion, who had not been seen for many days, stood in front of Zhu Youzhen at this moment, respectfully and respectfully, with low eyebrows.

"I am not a person who is unkind, Mr. Su is loyal to me, I should be rewarded, I summoned Mr. here today, just to ask Mr. about his wishes, whether he wants to stay by my side and help me solve problems, or go out of Beijing and make great achievements according to Mr.'s previous ideas?"

"Grass Folk ......"

"Don't grass people, it's not singing on the stage!" Zhu Youzhen smiled: "The monarch and the minister also have the pattern of the monarch and the minister, you are not my courtier, you don't have to be so restrained!" ”

"Your Majesty, my background, whether it is to stay by Your Majesty's side, or Your Majesty's grace, to give the old man a half-official position, it is not suitable!" Su Tianyang also smiled: "Your Majesty is in charge of the Great Treasure, the entire Ming Dynasty is Your Majesty's, I don't know how many great talents will serve Your Majesty in the future, this little bit of ability, except for laughing and being generous to your Majesty, there is really nothing to take!" ”

"It's up to you!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand very domineeringly: "Merit must be rewarded, there must be punishment, rewards and punishments cannot be distinguished, who in the world is willing to work for me, how can I rejuvenate the splendid country left by this Taizu!" ”

Su Tianyang smiled, he couldn't be clearer about the little emperor's temperament, so he didn't argue anymore.

"Your Majesty is in a good mood today!"

"This is natural!" It is rare for the emperor to be able to talk to someone, but he is a suitable person in front of him, so he has to say a few more words: "I demoted that Wei Zhongxian out of Beijing, I don't know how to completely cut off this trouble, and I am still a bright and bright man, but it is the high cold, you still remember the high cold, I put him in the brocade guard, hahaha!" ”

"That Gao Han made his own decisions, he didn't even tell me, he directly followed Wei Zhongxian out of Beijing, and found that Wei Zhongxian had the intention of going to sea to escape, so he immediately blocked Wei Zhongxian and forced him to hang himself.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, this great evil has finally been eliminated!"

Su Tianyang seemed to be infected by Zhu Youzhen's emotions, and the smile on his face was even worse: "However, how does Your Majesty plan to explain to the people of the world that Wei Zhongxian hanged himself on the way to death?" ”

"Do I need to explain it to the rest of the world?" Zhu Youzhen asked strangely: "This guy knows that he is guilty of a lot of crimes, and he can't escape the curse of God, and all of them die as soon as they die, isn't this a normal thing?" ”

"No, no, no, this is His Majesty's opinion, in the eyes of others, it may not be seen that way!" Su Tianyang shook his head: "Does Your Majesty want the history books of future generations to record that Your Majesty is a repeated person, the front foot ordered him to leave Beijing, and the back foot sent someone to hang himself, so the people of later generations, look at Your Majesty, is it lenient or mean?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Youzhen was speechless, and suddenly fell silent.

Su Tianyang is not a person suitable for persuasion, but in this matter, he is the only person who knows, so he has to do what is not suitable for him.

In a person's life, there must be some pursuits.

Some people pursue the wealth of the world, some people pursue the prince Wandai, some people pursue the power of the unparalleled, and some people, the sound of dogs and horses, a comfortable life is very satisfied, but the respect of the Ninety-Five, the pursuit, is definitely not these things.

The king of pioneering, the king of Zhongxing, the emperor of the ages?

In addition to their own country, all the emperors care most about nothing more than the reputation they have left in the history books. No one wants to be a faint monarch who is scolded by the descendants of later generations, and when the people of the world teach future generations, they mention it with disdain and contempt, or even spit, this is the weakness of all emperors, unless, the emperor himself is a straw bag, and the faint monarch never considers these.

Zhu Youzhen has great ambitions, how could he not consider these.

"Since Gao Han is willing to share the worries for you, thinking about it, he also thought of this!" Su Tianyang reminded softly: "Otherwise, for such a thing, it is impossible for him not to play His Majesty first, but to cut first and then play!" ”

Zhu Youzhen is such a smart person, he immediately heard the meaning of Su Tianyang's words.

"What do you mean, is this black cauldron to let Gao Han carry it?" After all, he is a young king, although he reigns over the world, but he still feels a little guilty about his loyal courtiers, who are not rewarded and punished for their merits.

"Gao Han must know it in his heart!" Su Tianyang said softly: "Moreover, Your Majesty can take the opportunity to observe him and sharpen him, if you can't stand even this little grievance, how can Your Majesty dare to use him in the future?" ”

"This is really wronged him!" Zhu Youzhen muttered: "I still plan to let him be the commander of this brocade guard!" ”

Su Tianyang couldn't make a sound, he could advise, he could see certain things clearly for the emperor, but he talked a lot about this kind of thing, and no matter how right he was, it was wrong.

"It's good!" The emperor's depression did not last long: "As you said, just observe his character, if he complains and feels that I am unfair, then even if this person has some talents, he will not be able to use much!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Still, I can't chill his heart!" Zhu Youzhen figured out this joint, and his mood was much more comfortable: "Now he is still on the way to Beijing, come here, pass the decree, Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu Si Zhen Gao Han, arrogant, and mishandled, exempt him from the post of Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, well, no, if he does not have an official position to protect him, he has offended many people when he takes office, but I am afraid that he will be harmed!" ”

"Your Majesty can give him a noble idle position, or send him away from afar?" Su Tianyang thought about it and suggested.

"Noble idle job!" Zhu Youzhen shook his head, "Isn't I idle him, how many things can be done, such a person who does things, even if he carries this black cauldron for me, he has to let him carry it tastefully and have something to do!" ”

He remembered that the household department and the military department have been arguing over military expenses in recent days, and recently in the imperial court, in addition to Wei Zhongxian's matter, this matter is the biggest, for Wei Zhongxian, the emperor has already made a disposition, and the courtiers dare not entangle it, so this matter is the biggest thing in the current court, and it immediately came out.

A few days ago, Liaodong begged for military expenses, saying that it was to build a city and add artillery, and it would cost a lot of silver taels, this money, not to mention that the household department had no money, even if there was money, it could not be given!

Especially Liaodong is still very picky, the various firearms cast by the Foundry Bureau, they are not eye-catching, this cannon they even pointed out that it is to buy the Xiyi cannon of the Franc machine, that kind of cannon, often tens of thousands of silver a piece, this money, where can the household give up.

Recently, it was hard to pull out some eyebrows, and the household department promised to give some money, although the money was not much, far from the amount of Liaodong, but the people in the household department insisted that this money could not be ruined, and it was directly given to Liaodong.

If you want a cannon, then just give it to you, let's buy it for you, it's always right!

Of course, it is difficult to say whether the household department has selfishness in this, although Zhu Youzhen does not know much about some of the things in this officialdom, but when the money is handed over, where will there be a clean and clean statement, the household department insists on buying it by itself, and there must be their statement.

Therefore, whether it is the military department or the household department, Zhu Youzhen is very tired.

However, now that a small situation has just been calmed down, in the matter of Wei Zhongxian, it is a big fight, Zhu Youzhen really doesn't want to do this kind of thing, and there is no more unpleasantness between the military department and the household department, the palms of his hands are full of meat, no matter how much he argues, he is Zhu Youzhen's courtiers.
