Chapter 348: Great Zhou Jin Yiwei
Lu Duosun pointed out more than a dozen officials one after another, and almost one-tenth of the people were missing from the main hall. Chai Rong had a black face and asked the guards to take off all these officials and throw them into the prison, waiting for a thorough investigation.
Killed more than 20 people at once, the butcher of officialdom, deserved his name, and no one robbed him anymore!
Lu Duosun called a triumphant and happy flying.
Let's ask the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who can compare with his majesty?
Even if a few prime ministers are doing, it's not in vain?
Now with His Majesty's support, I can do whatever I want, and no one can control me! When Lu Duosun went down, he swaggered and was so energetic that he almost looked up to the sky and laughed.
Zhang Yongde spat at his back, "What's the matter, the villain has a will!" If it weren't for the Hou Ye protecting him, he would have been killed outside the palace gate! I've shown my face in the past two days, and I don't know how to thank us, sooner or later he's going to be unlucky, let's see! ”
Ye Hua waved his hand, "The young man is ambitious, and it is inevitable that he will be a little frivolous. Besides, it's not that I want to protect him, but that Your Majesty wants to protect him. The saint has a heavenly constitution in his mouth, and he is in charge of life and death, whoever he wants to live can't die, and whoever he wants to die can't live! Pony, you arrange some competent men to protect Lord Lu, no matter what, you can't let him have an accident. ”
Zhang Yongde was shocked, "Master Hou, are you saying that someone wants to kill Lu Duoxun?" They're too bold, aren't they? ”
"It's hard to say!"
Ye Hua said: "In short, be prepared, Lu Duosun can't have an accident right now." ”
"yes, I see!"
Unfortunately, Ye Hua's words were right, Lu Duosun went back that day, and two killers rushed out on the way, carrying knives to attack Lu Duoxun's carriage, but fortunately he was caught by the people arranged by Zhang Yongde.
Twisted to Kaifeng Mansion, after the interrogation, it was found that the two people were stupid, and they couldn't ask anything, and the next day, they broke their heads in prison, and they all died, and the case became a headless case.
Another day passed, and suddenly news came that two of Ludoson's servants had been poisoned and died.
The Imperial City Division sent someone to check, it turned out that the well was poisoned, and Lu Duoxun checked the account books that day, and was so busy that he didn't eat or drink, because of this, he escaped a catastrophe.
From this day on, Chai Rong personally sent people, and Lu Duoxun's every move, soup and meal, was taken care of, and the security level was just like Chai Rong.
Of course, he was grateful, forgetting to sleep and eating, seeing that the acres of land occupied by the Great Xiangguo Temple were becoming clearer and clearer, and the number of officials involved in the case increased to more than 30 people, and the small officials of Kaifeng Mansion alone were involved in more than 100.
Every day when he saw the report, Chai Rong was going to blow up.
Catch, don't let it go!
When the prison is full, it will be stuffed into the barracks, in short, it will be investigated to the end!
The imperial court made drastic moves, but in private, there were rumors that Lu Duoxun and those who supported the investigation of Buddhist temples would be punished!
Hell, waiting for them, no one wants to escape the punishment of the oil pot!
In the face of these curses, Lu Duosun just smiled indifferently, as long as Lao Tzu is a big official and in power in this life, as for the next life, who can say for sure? Lao Tzu is too lazy to care!
He worked harder, but at this moment, a bad news suddenly came.
Ludoson's mother is dead!
The old lady died in the Buddhist hall of the Lu family, and when she died, she was neatly dressed and meticulous, with her hands folded, and she knelt in front of the Buddha statue.
Paradoxically, there were no injuries on his body, and it didn't look like he had been poisoned, but he died silently.
When she died, the old lady still had her eyes open, and she was full of fear.
When the news came out, people immediately rushed to tell each other.
Lu Duosun imprisoned the monks, confiscated the temple, and what he did, the heavens were angry and the people were angry, and the people and gods were angry!
Now the Buddha is angry, condemns the Lu family, and takes away Mrs. Lu first.
This is retribution!
Retribution is coming!
Poor old lady, all her life to the Buddha, devoted herself to practice, and she could succeed when she saw it, but she was killed by the son of unfilial piety, Lu Duoxun, you should commit suicide immediately and ask your mother for sin!
Unfilial people, why stand on top of the court, don't hurry up and get out!
The shouts and curses of these people have not done anything to Lu Duoxun, Chai Rong was angry first, and His Majesty the Emperor came directly to Ye Hua's mansion.
The two monarchs and ministers talked again in the flower hall.
"Ye Qing, the harm of the temple is well known, why would someone rather confront me and oppose the people of the world! Shelter them too? ”
"Because of profit!"
Ye Hua said very simply: "The temple has always enjoyed tax-free privileges, and the land under its name does not pay taxes. Because they were exempt from taxes, they could use the same rent and hire more farmers to help them with the fields. The monks do not give birth, but they sit back and enjoy the success. The collusion between officials and them is also to take advantage of them and avoid paying taxes and forced labor. Besides, the money that officials are greedy for ink is not safe at all when it is kept at home, and if it is donated to the temple as incense money, who can find out? Monks are good at business, they take out loans, or in less than a year and a half, the interest can be doubled, which is very considerable! ”
Ye Hua didn't talk too much, if he wanted to talk about all kinds of ways to make money, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish it for three days and three nights...... But these alone made Chai Rong furious!
"They are harming my country, but my officials, but they do not hesitate to defy the law and protect the villains, are they my courtiers or my enemies?"
Chai Rong roared loudly and vented wildly!
Since the raid of Xiangguo Temple, Chai Rong's anger has continued to accumulate, until today, it has completely exploded!
"The officials can't believe it! No one has a heart! They are all white-eyed wolves, eating and drinking me, turning their heads around, and calculating me! ”
"What are such officials still raising? Kill! Kill! Kill them all! ”
Ye Hua lowered his head and didn't say anything.
He knew that Chai Rong was just angry for a while, and the hundred officials were certainly disappointing, but killing them all, in the huge world, Chai Rong couldn't play alone.
These people must be used, but they cannot be connived at, and they need to be well supervised.
"It's a pity that one Ludosun is too little! I want to make a decree to regain his affection, so that he can serve with peace of mind, and I will personally go to Lu Mansion to pay tribute to the old lady, she gave birth to a good son to me! Ye Qing, you also go with me, I want to show the world that as long as I work hard, I will not treat anyone badly. ”
Well, Lu Duoxun suddenly became a baby bump in Chai Rong's eyes.
"Ye Qing, do you know who is the same as Lu Duoxun, I also have to be promoted, there is too much shortage of people who can do things in the DPRK!"
Ye Hua was very helpless, there were not many officials from Jinshi, and even fewer were like Lu Duoxun, "The minister really doesn't know, above the court, I'm afraid that no one can be as ...... as Lord Lu."
"There is no court, but what about the people?" Chai Rong asked suddenly.
"The people, there is naturally no shortage of righteous people among the people, but how can they do things for the court?" Ye Hua said: "Since ancient times, the use of officials is nothing more than recommendation and inspection, no matter which one it is, ordinary people have no chance to participate. ”
"This is the disadvantage of employing people in the imperial court!" Chai Rong was indignant, "Ye Qing, you have the most ideas, is there a compromise way to find some people for me to supervise hundreds of officials?" ”
Ye Hua thought about it, suddenly jumped up, he turned his head and ran back to the study, took a copy of "Historical Records", and put it in front of Chai Rong.
"Your Majesty, in the second year of the Yuanding Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty, at that time, 'the people were traitors, especially in Beijing,...... The so-called 'straight to the beginning' is the sign of the birth of the 'embroidered messenger'. The embroidered messenger is a kind of imperial history, the official position is very low, and it is not a permanent official, but these people are specially selected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to handle the project, they directly obey the emperor's orders, directly responsible for the emperor, cold as frost, unemotional, very deterrent officials. ”
"It's just that the embroidered messenger later changed its taste, the good and the bad are mixed, many people in order to make meritorious contributions, they do not hesitate to fabricate false accusations, and raise a big prison, such as the witch curse, which was done by Jiang Chong, the leader of the embroidered messenger, many absurd things in Emperor Wu's later years, and the embroidered messenger has a lot of responsibility."
After Ye Hua finished his introduction, he kept silent, as a courtier, he could only provide advice, not make decisions for the emperor, especially to explain the positive and negative situations, not just talk about it.
In fact, the most similar to the embroidered messenger is the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty, perhaps Zhu Yuanzhang referred to the experience of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and set up the brocade guard.
Moreover, the functions and development context of the two are very similar, and they initially played the role of supervising hundreds of officials and purging the rule of officials. However, with the increasing power, some unscrupulous people use the power in their hands to harm the public and private interests, and do misdeeds.
They quickly went from being overseers to lawbreakers, and they were even more corrupt than officials!
Chai Rong put his hands behind his back and thought for a long time.
"The embroidered messenger is indeed of great benefit to the rule of officials, but the authority of the embroidered messenger is too heavy, if it falls into the hands of people with bad intentions, it will only ruin the affairs of the court, and it must be guarded against!"
"What Your Majesty said is very true, this generation of characters is a double-edged sword, how to use it, it is all up to the Son of Heaven to decide!"
Chai Rong suddenly smiled, "Ye Qing, how much energy can I have alone?" How can you take care of so many things! In this way, among the ministers, I only believe that you will not come nonsense, and my embroidered messenger of Da Zhou will be handed over to you to be responsible for locking up the hundred officials for me, how about it? ”
