Chapter 314: Killing the Enemy is Meritorious
The sky is blue, the sea is wide and the air is new, and everyone is alive**, which is a joke in later generations.
Although it is a joke, it expresses a kind of expectation of future generations, an expectation of a better life. The first sentence is very simple, it talks about the environment, and the latter sentence talks about humanistic construction.
This point is very important both in later generations and in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yijun's carriage was walking on the road, and Xu Wenchang, who was dressed in a coarse cloth short coat, sat on the wheel, swaying his legs, holding a wine gourd in his hand, holding dried meat in his arms, drinking a sip of wine, and then eating a mouthful of meat, contented.
Looking at this old man's style, Zhu Yijun wanted to kick him down.
Zhu Yijun also understood a truth, why did the ancestor say don't be too high-profile, because if you are high-profile, others will be jealous, and then harm you. In fact, this is not a problem for high-profile people, after all, my things are also legal, such as Xu Wenchang's dried meat.
But he was still jealous and wanted to grab it, and even felt that the old man was pulling hatred.
Just when Zhu Yijun was shaking his head and pondering the truth of dried meat and being a man, there was a sudden commotion in front. Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and his resentment against the dried meat disappeared in an instant, replaced by excitement.
The blood of pretending to be hidden in the body awakened at this moment.
As the emperor, he went out on patrol in micro-service, and he didn't do something to be worthy of himself?
Look at the Qing Dynasty emperors of later generations, on the one hand, they paid private interviews, and on the other hand, they picked up girls, and by the way, justice was upheld, how good. Looking at the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he went out of the palace to rob the people's daughters.
I have to give the emperor of the Ming Dynasty a correct name, and I am also righteous when I leave the palace, and I don't even soak in girls.
Xu Wenchang saw that Zhu Yijun looked interested, squinted his eyes and didn't speak, in fact, he was very satisfied with his life in the past two years, and he had never had such a smooth life in his life.
The emperor is wise and heroic, the court is politically harmonious, and all kinds of accumulated evils are eliminated one by one.
The army is strong, the nobles are self-disciplined, and this is already the trend of the prosperous era of Qinghe Yan. The emperor's other questions, such as things like this now, Xu Wenchang didn't care about them at all.
The boy lives in the palace, and now he wants to come out and play, which is quite normal.
Soon the person sent to inquire about the news came back, Zhu Yijun hurriedly beckoned people over, and did not let Zhang Whale pass the word at all, waving his hand to signal the excuse of the person who inquired about the news, Zhu Yijun hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to the emperor, a horse thief was caught in front, and the local people caught it, as if he was killed, and the people from the government are inspecting it."
Hearing this report, Zhu Yijun suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look!" ”
Naturally, the others didn't dare to object, so they all walked over, and by the time Zhu Yijun walked over, there were already many people around. In the circle, the officials carried knives to prevent everyone from getting too close.
A man in a cyan civil official uniform was asking for something, and next to him was a man in a civil servant's uniform who was taking notes.
Zhang Whale knew that Zhu Yijun wanted to see the excitement, so he accompanied him, and waited until the official finished questioning, and then sent someone to call him over. The emperor of his own family will definitely not be finished just by looking at it.
Zhu Yijun really didn't just look at it, he wanted to ask.
Seeing Zhang Whale's arrangement, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, and Zhang Whale won his heart.
The official didn't know who the young man in front of him was, but he knew that this person's identity was not simple. After smiling and saluting, he stood aside, waiting for Zhu Yijun to speak.
"What's going on?" Zhu Yijun asked, pointing to the corpse parked not far away.
This official, who was in his thirties and a little thin, heard Zhu Yijun's question, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Hui, this is a horse thief, and he has been stealing horses frequently in the local area these days, which is very disturbing. ”
"The government has been sending people to arrest them, but they haven't caught them."
"Yesterday, he went to Liujiazhuang to steal horses and was discovered, and then he was chased and intercepted by Liujiazhuang's people, and was stabbed in the back by Liu Laoba of Liujiazhuang and killed on the spot."
"The Li Zheng of Liujiazhuang came to report to the official, and the lower official brought someone over."
Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "Have you ever seen a corpse?" ”
"Mr. Hui, I have experienced, he has a lot of theft tools on his body, and he has also found eyewitnesses, and it has been confirmed that it is Ma San, a horse thief who has recently wandered to the local area."
The young officer hurriedly replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "Which one is Liu Laoba?" In the dark night, you can still use a knife in the back of the heart, amazing, good knife skills, let me see who it is. ”
Liu Laoba was quickly brought over, a man in his forties.
The figure is very strong, with a dark face and thick hands, it can be seen that he is a practitioner. Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad, very good, have you ever been in the army before?" ”
"The little one was a soldier in the Beijing camp, and he was Grandpa Qi's soldier!" Liu Lao Bahan said with a smile.
Zhu Yijun suddenly said: "It turned out to be a soldier in Beijing, no wonder he stretched out his hand so well, how did he go home to farm with such a good hand?" An old soldier like you, the court is all for errands, and there are officials who bend the law for personal gain? ”
"Not really!" Liu Laoba hurriedly shook his head: "The government has arranged it, but my mother is old and blind, so I want to take care of my mother at home, so I simply didn't go." ”
"The court gave me thirty taels of silver, I went home to buy a house and land to marry my mother-in-law, and my life was very good, the emperor's grace was vast!"
When Liu Laoba said this, the people around him were envious, obviously in their opinion, Liu Laoba was already a winner in life. However, among the poor people, Liu Laoba is indeed a winner in life.
When joining the army becomes an upward channel for poor people, then there will be no shortage of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.
After the abolition of the military household system, the common people will not be restricted by household registration when they join the army, and they will have money and food as soldiers, and they can be promoted if they do a good job, and they can even be transferred to other places for meritorious service, and there are many benefits, and there is no need to worry about affecting future generations.
Now every time a recruit is recruited, everyone is scrambling to go.
After listening to Liu Laoba's words, Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head and said to the young officials beside him: "Deal with it as you want, I'm just idle and bored to ask." ”
The corners of the young official's mouth twitched, are you idle to ask, I have delayed something.
"Mr. Hui, there is nothing to deal with, Liu Laoba has a meritorious role in killing thieves, according to our Ming law, the court will reward twenty-five taels of silver." The young official said with a smile on his face: "Let's take the body back and settle the case." ”
The subtext of the young officer is clear, if it weren't for you, we would have left long ago.
For this kind of subtext, Zhu Yijun's approach is very simple, that is, he didn't hear it, waved his hand, and Zhu Yijun said directly: "Then you go and do things!" ”
