Chapter 604: Worrying about the country and the people
Before the order was issued, Zhu Gaoxu summoned another person: Hu Hu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
Hu Hu entered the pilgrimage from the oblique corridor and bowed to wish a long life. While writing, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said, "Get up." β
Zhu Gaoxu finished writing the things in his hand, took a look at himself, and said in his heart: This handwriting is really good, I have to boast about it. He neatly put down the brush and handed the undried paper to Cao Fu next to him.
"Hu Shilang, you take this holy decree, go to the Ministry of Rites to find Jian Yi by yourself, and ask him to go through the formalities such as the appointment certificate for you, from now on, you will be the Zuo Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Gaoxu did not forget to remind carefully, "The ink hasn't dried yet, don't make flowers." β
Hu Hu was stunned for a moment, and stood there for a while without reacting. When Cao Fu sent the holy decree to him, he came back to his senses, hurriedly knelt on the ground again, kowtowed, and said, "How can the minister be virtuous...... The saint loves it, and the ministers thank the emperor! β
Hu Hui was so surprised, probably because he had not yet adapted to the style of the new emperor. Everyone's personality is different, and Zhu Gaoxu has a different style compared with the previous emperors. Hu Hui may not have expected that Zhu Gaoxu would be so happy.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and said, "Flat." β
Hu Hu was grateful to Dade again, and carefully got up from the floor.
There were no outsiders in Dongnuan, so Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "During the 'Battle of Crime', I had many military generals and few civil officials under my command. Now that the crime and rebellion have been successful, the country cannot only rely on military generals; Therefore, as long as it is not the leader of the party of the abolished prince, your position will not be replaced. β
Hu Hu didn't know how to reply for a while, so he just said, "Yes, yes." β
At this time, when the emperor and ministers speak, many times they will not say it in the open, and they must have the meaning of the words to make people guess; Zhu Gaoxu is different, just say it directly, but it will save trouble.
Zhu Gaoxu didn't want to say too many irrelevant things to Hu Hu, so he immediately asked again: "Hu Butang, you have been an official in the Ministry of Rites for several years, and there should be many scholars in Guozijian and Zhili counties who call you a teacher?" β
Hu Hui pondered for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Although the minister is a teacher, the saint is a teacher of the ministers. β
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "I heard that Qi Tai, the secretary of the Jianwen Dynasty's military department, does not advocate the reduction of the feudal domain by the Jianwen monarch and ministers. During the 'Battle of Jingjing', Qi Tai also admonished many times. I felt that he was condemned as a traitor, as if he had been wronged. β
Hu Hui's brows were already furrowed, and his expression was very serious. Perhaps he has learned the new emperor's style of doing great things, and he is also very light and happy, and he has realized the seriousness of the matter at this time.
Sure enough, Hu Hu muttered: "What the Holy Lord said is extremely true, but when Emperor Taizong was 'Jing Nan', Qi Tai's name was written on it. Emperor Taizong justifiably ......"
Zhu Gaoxu heard the meaning of Hu Hui's words, and immediately interrupted Hu Hui's words without scruples, "I will not overturn the case for Jianwen Junchen." only said that Qi Tai was wronged alone, but he was actually in the period of the 'Battle of Jingnan', and his heart was towards the Jingnan Army. Can you find someone to write some articles and help him redress his grievances? β
Hu Hu thought for a while, and hurriedly bowed: "The minister's decree ...... You can do it! β
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "Very good." Hu Butang asked your protΓ©gΓ©s to write articles, and completely reversed Qi Tai in terms of integrity, morality, and righteousness; Write him as a person with high morals, loyalty and filial piety, both ability and political integrity, concern for the country and the people, and selflessness! Even if he has done something bad or unfavorable to the 'Battle of Jingjing', you must also emphasize his hardships and heart for the country and the people, at most it can be regarded as a bad method. β
Hu Hui's face was a little red, but he still made up his mind categorically: "The minister will live up to the trust of the saint!" β
"I'm a man of credit." Zhu Gaoxu said casually.
Hu Hu was a little confused by this sentence, but didn't ask much.
Zhu Gaoxu's words are indeed out of place. Because he refers to the things that were promised to Qi Tai when he was in Wushan Taoyuan; And Hu Hu obviously didn't know anything about these things, and it was impossible for him to understand what Zhu Gaoxu meant.
Zhu Gaoxu raised his hand lightly and waved, and Hu Hu retreated.
Today's more important things have been done; Zhu Gaoxu asked himself that he was still more efficient. However, the concerts placed on the imperial case have still not been reviewed, and there have been a lot of concerts in recent days.
He looked at those pieces and couldn't help but start thinking about reforming the system of reading them.
He can't rush to do other innovations now. However, the method of reviewing the recitals does not involve the conclusion of national policies and policies, and it should not be a big problem to change it.
The Ming Dynasty has had no prime minister since the Hongwu period. Emperor Taizu's energy was particularly good, and when he was in his seventies, he personally reviewed the recitals every day; And Emperor Taizong did not have the good spirit of Taizu. Taizong's method was to give the prince the errand of daily review of the chapters, and then send someone to supervise the prince, and then regularly inspect the government affairs handled by the prince.
Zhu Gaoxu does not have the good spirit of Emperor Taizu, and he does not even have a crown prince. He was quite unaccustomed to dealing with government affairs here all day long.
Because when Zhu Gaoxu was the vassal king, the government affairs of the vassal king's mansion were not important at all, and there were local officials in charge of everything, so he had long been accustomed to the leisurely days of almost ignoring government affairs.
It's just that he can't do that anymore, Daming Jiangshan is already his, and he must not be able to be the shopkeeper; What's more, if someone is taken down from the throne, the miserable end can be imagined.
Zhu Gaoxu was ready to think about it more, and looked at the pile of pieces in a daze for a long time.
β¦β¦
In recent days, the only people whose family members have been arrested and put in prison are Yuan Hui, Tan Qing, and Yang Rong. The other "first evil" is only that he himself has been imprisoned, and other family members are guarded at home, waiting for the three legal divisions to determine the punishment.
On the contrary, the clans, relatives and friends of those people's hometowns are even more unlucky! Dali Temple quickly sent an official document, asking local state and county officials to watch those relatives and not allow them to go far away; But the magistrate, fearing that he would get away with the sinner, arrested him and put him in prison. Those who were implicated ate prison meals unprepared.
Anyone who has something to do with the henchmen of the East Palace is panicked and can't live in peace. Geng Hao is also one of them.
Prior to this, Geng Hao had always thought that the "Yuan family" that Ming Media was marrying was the clan relative of Yuan Heng, the secretary of Taichang Temple. Therefore, when I heard that Yuan Hui was involved in the crime of killing the king, when Jin Yiwei arrested his family relatives and friends, Geng Hao was scared half to death, because he was Yuan Hui's relative; So he hurriedly ran out of the house to avoid trouble!
However, Jingshi has been under martial law recently, and the city gate is very tight, so Geng Hao can only flee to an inn and hide for a while.
When Geng Hao went out, he took a horse and a little money. Unexpectedly, he had only been staying at the inn for two days, and the horse was stolen from the stable! I don't know who touched the money bag!
Frightened and angry, he spent the night under the eaves outside a temple. As a result, he didn't want to suffer at all! After only staying for a day and a night, he was cold, hungry and afraid, and even felt that there were ghosts in the temple.
Geng Hao could only go home with his scalp stubborn. Menzi recognized him and hurriedly let him in. Geng Hao walked to the inner house dejectedly, wanting to take a shower and change clothes first, and then have a hot meal.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked in, he suddenly saw a topless descendant jumping out of his room! The latter was holding his clothes in his arms, and he ran away.
"You|mother|!" Geng Hao was stunned for a moment and immediately understood what was going on! He cursed and chased after him. At this time, his lady "Yuan's" blushed, and ran out wearing only a red belly pocket, and actually grabbed Geng Hao.
Geng Hao saw that the latter was climbing the wall and didn't climb up for a long time, Geng Hao scolded while trying to break free from Yuan: "Lao Tzu wants to kill him!" Are you still protecting him? β
Yuan Shi anxiously looked at the young man who was so stupid that he couldn't find a way to climb the wall, and begged: "I seduced him, you let him go." He was also a poor man. β
Geng Hao was extremely angry, where did he care about Yuan's intercession? He struggled hard, but unexpectedly, a woman moved really and her strength was very strong, and Geng Hao didn't break free for a long time and grabbed his hand.
At this time, the descendant who climbed the wall finally found a few waste bricks to step on, jumped up, grabbed the wall and climbed out.
When Geng Hao finally broke free from the Yuan family, rushed to the back door, opened the door and went out, where could he still see the trace of the afterlife?
Geng Hao returned to the room and saw that there were happy chairs, copper bells, drawing paper, danqing and other things inside, and there was actually a disgraceful painting on the drawing paper! And Yuan was looking ashamed, and he was dressing in a hurry.
"Oh my God!" Geng Hao shouted, grabbed his chest with both hands, and soon scratched his chest. His face was full of tears, and he said angrily and angrily: "After my Marquis Geng Hao, I sincerely hope that the media is marrying you!" What a shame you have done to me! β
Yuan said: "You left your family and ran away in a hurry!" How do I know when you'll be back? Do you dare to love me and stay alive|widowhood for a lifetime? β
Geng Hao cried: "I've only been gone for a few days? You can hook up with that little guy so quickly, you must have hooked up before. β
Yuan didn't say anything. Seeing this, Geng Hao said in his heart: Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong!
Geng Hao said: "What is the crime of adultery? Lao Tzu will go to report to the official, and let you go around without eating! β
Yuan Shi was frightened, and said softly: "The concubine knows that her husband treats me well, but the concubine knows that she is wrong." My husband will spare me once, and I will never dare again. You sit down and de-escalate first. β
Geng Hao tossed for a while and was tired, and sat down on a chair angrily, frowning and thinking about something.
Yuan Shi beat his leg and said: "Before, the concubine thought that she didn't care about that, but it wasn't until she got married that she felt that it wasn't like that. The husband is really not as good as the younger offspring......"
"What?!" Geng Hao was furious again.
Yuan hurriedly apologized, and said: "When my husband married me, he knew that I was not innocent, and you said that you forgave me." Let it pass, I swear never again! β
Geng Hao really likes a woman like Yuan in his heart, she is exquisitely dressed, not young, and quite amorous. But as soon as he saw the easel, he immediately thought that the little man might still have a portrait of his wife in his hand, and admired it every day, and his heart was filled with anger.
"I, Geng Hao, will never forgive, you ungrateful woman!" Geng Hao scolded, finally unable to let go.
β¦β¦ Geng Hao couldn't let go, he held the mood of "he will be punished anyway", and ran to Yingtianfu to report to the official. The judge of Ying Tianfu quickly found out that Geng Hao's wife was not surnamed Yuan, but a prostitute in Yuan Heng's mansion; The judge immediately informed Jinyiwei.
Because Yuan Hui's sin is too great, anyone who has something to do with him can't be easily let go!
Jin Yiwei didn't know that Yuan Hui still had a prostitute in Geng's house; At this time, Jinyiwei immediately sent someone over and arrested Geng Hao and his wife into the edict together.
And that little guy turned out to be a scholar, and he was quickly found out. But Jin Yiwei didn't care about this, Ying Tianfu had no choice but to arrest the little guy and write a note on the "traitorous department" to this scholar who was taking the road of the imperial examination; and stripped him of all his fame, and he will not be allowed to take the imperial examination for life!
