"Mr. Wu, do you have any thoughts on this matter?" Zhu Youlang asked suddenly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wu Zhenyu is also very worried about this kind of thing, although he is a member of the second grade, in charge of the capital, but there is no clear subordinate relationship with the supervision of the imperial history of the seven products in the Imperial Palace.

Now that something has happened in Guangxi, those supervising imperial historians see that they disagree with them, and they are entangled in the same way, so they simply put themselves aside and plan to play together.

Now after the emperor asked, he could only bow down and say: "Although the minister has knowledge of this matter, I am afraid that it cannot be pertinent, and this matter is related to the name of Chen Gongjie, how dare the minister say it?" ”

"No one else, just tell me."

"Forgive the ministers." Wu Zhenyu said softly: "Chen Gong is impartial and upright, and he does things honestly, which is rare among the governors in the world, but the method of disposal needs to be discussed. ”

"How?"

"The ministers thought it was too cruel, and it was not in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius, and it was rare to kill thirty or forty gentry at a time. If it is a war, it will kill and wound tens of thousands of people, and no one will make irresponsible remarks, let alone be emotional. But Chen Gong's execution of the gentry this time was torture and killing, it was a killing by the law of the country, and three or five or even five or six people were repaid, killing dozens of people at a time, which is really appalling.

And just because they privately occupy acres of land, they will all be beheaded by their families, and the sentence will inevitably be too heavy, it is true that heavy codes should be used in troubled times, but when the number of people involved is too large, the law does not blame the public, and it cannot be generalized.

In the 300 years of the dynasty, the erosion and collapse of the Wei system has long been well known, and the people who privately occupy the military land in the two capitals and 13 provinces are innumerable, and if they are not indiscriminately sentenced to confiscation and beheading, it will inevitably lead to the squire and officials who committed the crime to endanger themselves, and may even secretly surrender to the prisoners, and the original captives will be even more desperate, which is not conducive to the great cause of Zhongxing, and even more unfavorable to His Majesty's recovery of rivers and mountains. ”

Zhu Youlang was silent after hearing this, judging from Wu Zhenyu's tone, he did not agree with Chen Bangyan's behavior, but it was indeed not as extreme as those officials, obviously talking impartially, without any selfishness, putting aside the Confucian concept of benevolence, Wu Zhenyu could gain insight into the possible harm caused by Chen Bangyan's disposal method, which also made Zhu Youlang quite pleased, knowing the disadvantages, he had the direction of remedial treatment.

Zhu Youlang fully believes that with Chen Bangyan's wisdom and insight, it is impossible not to know the consequences of doing so, and the reason why he still does that is that he can quickly raise enough money and food to help the central finance by raiding his home, and second, he is nothing more than killing chickens and monkeys, with those gentry who have been cut off as a warning, and the other squires who have committed crimes will be handed over to the emperor for appropriate leniency, giving them the opportunity to atone for their crimes, and it will be much easier to rectify the shortcomings of the guards in other provinces later, in the end, Chen Bangyan is a wicked person. It's just to make him a good man! After some painstaking work, Zhu Youlang, as the emperor, was quite moved.

"Whoever touches you at all, I can't do anything!" He said silently in his heart.

With the direction of remediation, Zhu Youlang has a bottom in his heart, and the most important thing at present is to protect Chen Bangyan's career first.

"Mr. Wu is right, and it coincides with me." Zhu Youlang nodded, but he didn't plan to tell Wu Zhenyu his judgment and thoughts, and after affirming Wu Zhenyu's opinion, he continued: "Although Chen Bangyan handled the squire improperly, his original intention was still good, and he was a good official who worked hard, did not avoid resentment, and served the country and the people.

Kedao is the official of the eyes and ears of the imperial court, if he can be impartial and upright, according to the truth, the justice of the world is right and wrong, Jin Bao, Ding Shikui and others believe themselves as officials, and want to use the name of rumors and things to reverse right and wrong and disrupt national politics, this is to make the world governor ********, mediocre and stealing peace and not serving the country solidly! This kind of bad habit of betraying public and selfishness, crowding out and dumping, is very hateful!

The feudal ministers of various places are the pillars of the country and the humerus of me, if I can't protect and let others fall, then what kind of face do I have to face the governors?

Chen Bangyan's matter will have a dispute in the court, but I hope that Mr. can focus on the overall situation of Zhongxing, put the interests of the court first, and safeguard one or two. ”

"I understand."

"Okay, it's nothing, Qing Ke retreated."

After Wu Zhenyu bowed, he slowly withdrew from the imperial study.

After sending Wu Zhenyu away, Zhu Youlang urgently summoned Wang Kang, the envoy of the inner town, and ordered Wang Kang to mobilize capable subordinates to secretly investigate the black history of those gossip officials, and he wanted to use this as a hole card to deal a good blow to the arrogance of those gossip officials.

Three days later, when the crowd was surging, Zhu Youlang took advantage of the situation to hold a large court meeting, and the first product and the seventh product in the capital were among the participants.

At the fifth watch in the early morning, the sky has not yet brightened, the drum tower of the palace came to the first morning drum, with the sound of the drum, the civil and military officials were crowned with a broad belt, standing in the court room outside the palace and waiting.

The Yongli regime was created in the midst of crisis, except for important departments, such as officials, soldiers, households and other departments, many Cao Si were short of personnel, so although it was a great court, there were not many people. Except for the Beijing officials on duty and some idle pension officials, the total number of people attending the meeting was less than 100.

After the three drums, the civil and military officials hurriedly walked out of the court room and went to the main hall of the council in the palace.

The ministers arrived at the head of the council hall, according to the text of the east and the west, and then according to the difference between positions and grades, they lined up in two shifts, and the four imperial historians stood in the north in separate classes, responsible for correcting the ceremony.

After a while, the internal official called: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Zhu Youlang wears a crown of good wings, wearing a dragon robe of the Yuan blue regiment, his face is solemn, and he enters the hall surrounded by a large group of inner eunuchs in gorgeous costumes, and after ascending to the throne, then there is a dignified, loud voice of the Honglu Temple official singing: "The ministers enter the class and salute!" ”

Immediately, the civil and military officials faced the throne, according to the praise of the officials of the Honglu Temple, bowed their heads and solemnly faced, bowed three times and knocked nine times, and the mountain shouted long live.
