Volume 8 Chapter 192 One Side
Zhang Bin seemed a little bored, he personally brought Zhou Yanru's confession to the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but told Zhu Cihong that this confession was all made up by Zhou Yanru.
Since you know that the confessions are all fake, why do you want to show it to me, Zhu Cihong has been blinded by him at this time.
Zhang Bin naturally had his purpose in doing this, he nodded with a serious face: "Yes, these are all made up by Zhou Yanru, the reason why I show you this confession is that first of all, I want you to understand that it is very simple for courtiers to deceive you, they are all Jinshi who have studied hard in the cold window, and it couldn't be easier for them to make up this kind of thing." ”
Zhu Cihong nodded a little scared and said: "Yes, if you don't tell me that these are made up by Zhou Yanru, I think it's true, this confession has no loopholes at all." ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin shook his head again and said: "No, there are many loopholes in this confession, for example, when he knew that he was calculated by Wu Changshi and Tian Hongyu, he could report it to your father, if it was for the beauty, with the weight of his cabinet chief, coupled with your father's reliance on him, he could completely leave the beauty and kill Wu Changshi and Tian Hongyu, why should he be coerced by these two people." ”
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he suddenly said: "Yes, he can be completely unthreatened, why didn't I think of it." ”
Zhang Bin said earnestly: "There are many things you can't think of, this confession is just a joke for me to see, do you know why?" ”
Zhu Cihong said curiously: "Why? ”
Zhang Bin lost no time in teaching: "Because I have investigated the whole matter clearly, he naturally can't deceive me, this matter will tell you, don't believe one-sided words, especially this kind of major events related to the lives of some people, you must first send someone to investigate, investigate the whole matter clearly and then make a decision, and don't be like your father, as soon as others say that he believes, he is dizzy, and he uses some traitorous villains, loyal ministers, virtuous ministers, he often scolds and even kills, so it is strange that Daming can get better." ”
When Zhu Cihong heard this, he thought about it, and then asked, "Then what if the person I sent to investigate joined forces with others to deceive me?" ”
Zhang Bin patiently analyzed: "This possibility is not impossible, it depends on your way of the emperor, if you want to trust a person wholeheartedly, then you have to test it many times, sometimes you can even let him investigate some things you know, to see if what he reported to you is consistent with the facts, whether there is his personal thoughts in it." Also, you can also investigate in multiple ways, you can ask Dongchang, Jinyiwei, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and even the Criminal Department to investigate, so that you are less likely to be deceived. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded heavily and said, "I understand, master." By the way, this Zhou Yanru dared to be so shameless, deceiving the master, deceiving me, and he must be severely punished, right, master, do you say that he will be executed by Ling Chi or punished by his nine clans, in order to set an example? ”
Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin shook his head again and said: "No, you can't be severely punished, you should pretend to believe this confession, let him go and arrest Wu Changshi in prison." ”
"Ahh , Zhu Cihong was really thundered, conspiring against such a big thing, the master actually told him to believe the mastermind's lies and arrest an irrelevant person, what is the reason?
He was stunned for a while, and then he asked extremely puzzled, "Master, why do you want to do this?" ”
This is more complicated to explain, Zhang Bin thought about it, and then said slowly: "Thunder and rain and dew are all Jun's grace, you can't just give rain and dew without thunder, this will make people feel that you are weak and deceitful, sometimes, for some purposes, you can not only pretend to believe lies, but even you can let people lie to you, just like this confession was written for the teacher Zhou Yanru." ”
Zhu Cihong was really a little dizzy when he heard this, he thought about it for a while, but he was still confused, because he really couldn't understand why the master said this and did it.
This kind of major event related to the lives of the courtiers, why should the black and white be deliberately reversed, isn't this the work of a faint king!
Zhang Bin saw that he couldn't figure it out, so he could only explain in detail: "Now you should also understand the situation above the court, the capable officials selected for the division are the chief officials of the six departments and the important yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but this does not mean that we can do whatever we want, because the officials below them are not our people, and there are many factions, and there are many wall grass, and even many are corrupt officialsIt's hard for us to get things done. This year is the time of the Jingcha plan, and the Jingcha plan is precisely used to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the court officials, so as to rectify the rule of officials, so the teacher wants to take this opportunity to rectify the court, and clean up all those corrupt officials, incompetent, and disobedient officials, and replace them with honest and honest officials who are diligent and honest. ”
Zhu Cihong experienced it carefully, and finally suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, this Wu Changshi's position is too important, he wants to select all the officials of the Restoration Society, then this court will become the world of the Restoration Society." ”
Zhang Bin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, so this Wu Changshi must be taken down and replaced by our people." This Wu Changshi is not a good thing, although he did not participate in the rebellion, accepted bribes, and did a lot of things to gain power and sell officials, even if he was cut down, it would not be an exaggeration. ”
Zhu Cihong didn't understand it again, he was puzzled and said: "Since he accepted bribes, the matter of taking power and selling officials is enough to cut him, why did the master still let Zhou Yanru write this false confession?" ”
Zhang Bin said solemnly: "Because he is the backbone of the Restoration Society, do you know, the people of the Restoration Society definitely do not want him to be removed from such an important position, so if he is taken down by such a thing as corruption, the Restoration Society will definitely do everything possible to defend him, defend him, and even do not hesitate to gather crowds to make trouble and threaten us, at that time, it will not end well." ”
Zhu Cihong was a little unconvinced: "Will they really be like this?" ”
Zhang Bin affirmed: "They will, no matter how nice these friends say, the ultimate goal is to fight for power or even profit, if you don't believe it, you can try." ”
Zhu Cihong couldn't help but ask, "How to try?" ”
Zhang Bin said confidently: "It's very simple, you will make an order now, put Wu Changshi in prison, and it won't be long before the members of the Restoration Society will come to intercede." ”
Zhu Cihong really wanted to try it, and he said aloud without hesitation: "Someone." ”
Wang Chengen entered in response and respectfully bowed his hand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you command?" ”
Zhu Cihong directly ordered: "Go, inform Luo Yangxing, and let him send someone to arrest Wu Changshi and put him in prison." ”
Wang Chengen didn't ask anything, and directly surrendered his orders, while Zhang Bin stayed, teaching the crown prince Zhu Cihong to handle the government affairs while waiting.
He knew that the people from the Restoration Society would definitely come, and they would be more excited, Zhu Cihong was young after all, and he hadn't seen the power of these mouth cannons, so it would be bad not to be scared by them.
