Chapter 11 Duty

There was something temporary in the afternoon, and today the update was sent ^_^ early - what kind of person the emperor is, his own courtiers know best.

Up and down the court, no matter the size of the official position or the level of power, when facing Jingtai alone, they will feel more or less uneasy, but Wen Jinqian is an exception...... Of course, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke this madman, but in the same way, he didn't think Jingtai was so terrible.

Wen Jinqian was originally a bachelor of Zhaowenguan, his official position was neither high nor low, and he did not have too much power in his hands, until the fall of the Fu family, he began to emerge, not that he wanted to take the opportunity to come out, but was forcibly promoted by Emperor Jingtai, and he rose at the same time, and there were several other ministers, but after a few years, everyone else has disappeared, but Lord Wen's official is getting smoother and smoother, and in just a few years, he has achieved a high position in Zhongshuling.

Some people secretly rumored that Mo looked at Lao Wen now that he was proud, maybe it was another Fu Qianxun. Lord Wen just laughed at this, he knew his own family affairs, he would never end up like Prime Minister Fu, he was different from Lord Fu, and different from the adults of the Manchu Dynasty, because he understood a truth...... No matter how big an official is, to put it bluntly, it's just a job.

Zhongshu Ling and the shopkeeper are actually the same, everyone works for the boss.

If the shopkeeper always thinks about the shopkeeper's cash box, he will be swept out of the house; If Zhongshu Ling always thinks about the emperor's things, I am afraid that the end will be even worse. There is really no difference between the two jobs, if you have to find a difference, only that the owner of the second shop only has a storefront and a money box; And the boss of Zhongshuling has everything in the world...... That's where the real point lies!

From a stone in the desert to the important ministers in the court, everything in Dayan is Jingtai's.

Let's take the simplest example, the imperial examination.

From the perspective of the imperial court, the imperial examination selects talents for the country and constantly provides fresh blood; From the perspective of candidates, this is a good way to change their identity and leap into the dragon gate; And this system has greatly stimulated the folk 'reading' style, no matter from which point of view, the imperial examination is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, otherwise it will not have been carried over from the beginning of the Great Hong Dynasty to the present.

During the scientific examination, the tribute students will have more contact with each other, and when a friendship falls on the poor, everyone will be officials in the future, and they will take care of each other, and the friendship of the "same department" is an important relationship in the officialdom, which is why there is a "star list", which refers to the students who come out of the same list, and they all have to be high-ranking officials in the future. Another important thing is more important, the candidates on the list will be visited by the examiner and regarded as a teacher, which is a common rule since ancient times, although the candidates have the suspicion of hugging their thighs, but for the examiner, it is not a good opportunity to plump up their wings and develop their power.

At the beginning, Master Fu single-handedly controlled the scientific examination, strictly investigated fraud and fraud, and took special care of talented but moneyless students, and had a good reputation of being honest and respectful of teachers.

But whether it is a candidate or an examiner, I don't know whether it is intentional or negligent, everyone ignores one thing: the world belongs to the emperor, and all candidates and all officials are naturally the emperor's.

What is the difference between you using the officials given by the emperor to organize your own forces, and the shopkeeper stealing the money from the shopkeeper?

So Wen Jinqian put his hand in his pocket and never stretched it out, that's the truth, everything belongs to the emperor, no matter what he takes, in the final analysis, he steals something from Banzai.

Maybe the emperor didn't say anything, but he saw things in his eyes and fell in his heart.

Lord Fu was the prime minister of the dynasty, Wen Jinqian was an official under him, and naturally he had a lot of contact, with Lord Wen's understanding of him, the surname Fu is by no means a stupid, on the contrary, the prime minister is shrewd and know-how, he is a first-class smart person, Wen Jinqian is far inferior to him, he was once a little confused, and even he can understand the truth, how could the prime minister not figure it out?

It wasn't until later, when Wen Jinqian made the Zhongshu Order, with a different position and a more lofty vision, that he probably figured it out: the prime minister is not stupid, but he underestimated the emperor.

Master Fu didn't start being an official in this dynasty, before the last emperor drove, he was already in a high position as prime minister, and there was no retreat in the power field, he had already come up, how easy was it to retreat in the whole body? Therefore, the prime minister has been trying to maintain a situation and control his power in a balance: it will not threaten the emperor, but it will also make Jingtai jealous and dare not eradicate it easily...... However, the 'balance' in the eyes of Master Fu is only three days in the eyes of the emperor.

After three days, the Fu family was uprooted.

Jingtai cut off the three major ministers, Tan Guide was a strange disease, and his power gradually collapsed; Commander Xie died violently, and then canceled the establishment of Chang Tingwei; Only the means of dealing with Prime Minister Fu were the most intense, and the promulgation of the holy decree without warning caused violent shocks in the government and the opposition, but this 'shock' was still much lighter than imagined...... No one can understand how Jingtai did it, and it was able to maintain the stability of the overall situation, maybe it was the blessing of God and Buddha? Wen Jinqian has no intention of pursuing this, and he does not dare to pursue it, he only understands one thing is enough: the boss is fierce, and if he wants to do this job for a long time, the word 'duty' is particularly important.

So Wen Jinqian is very responsible, so Wen Jinqian's officials are getting smoother and smoother. And doing his duty is not timid, on the contrary, he must say that whether the emperor likes to listen or not, he feels that what he earns is this money.

Long live today is unusual.

With his usual temper, a little thing will have a head on the ground, but this time a big camp is reversed, and he laughs endlessly. Wen Jinqian didn't see Banzai's smile, and said with a heavy expression: "More than 10,000 rebels are not enough to trouble, but the name of 'Dharma Protector' is very worrying. Especially the national teacher has an unpredictable heart......"

The Buddha and the emperor are opposed, this matter is known to the world, and it is a big taboo in the Dayan court, no one dares to talk to Jingtai, but Wen Jinqian's 'duty', since it involves the national teacher, he has to say, the emperor doesn't like to listen and can't do it, so he has been reprimanded a lot before, but it is just a reprimand.

Unexpectedly, this time the emperor did not get angry, but smiled more cheerfully: "Jin Qian, do you want to make meritorious service?" ”

Wen Jinqian solemnly responded: "Sharing worries for my emperor is a matter for the courtiers......"

Without waiting for him to finish, Jingtai waved his hand impatiently: "This is not the place to say beautiful words, just say it, think about it or not." ”

"Yes." Wen Jinqian replied quite truthfully.

Jingtai laughed: "That's it, when the Ming Dynasty was discussed, I appointed you as the Qin Mission, and rushed to the southwest to transfer troops and horses to chase and suppress the rebels for me." ”

Wen Jinqian was taken aback, he was an out-and-out civil servant, and he knew almost nothing about military and family affairs, what kind of mediocrity did this emperor have to become, so he would abandon countless generals and send him out to fight.

Jingtai took a moment and continued to shake his head: "Don't worry, I said that if you make meritorious service, you will definitely make meritorious service!" When the time comes, the little bugs will contact you, and then you will understand. Wen Jinqian's eyes widened, listening to the emperor's meaning, the Qin Cha who deployed troops and horses on the surface was himself, but it was the little baby eunuch who secretly made a move, a Wenchen, and a eunuch joined forces to rebellious? This is a war, it's just nonsense.

Wen Jinqian took a deep breath, suppressed the doubt in his heart, and stood in place and refused to retreat: "My emperor forgives the sin, but the minister can't figure it out." "Others get this errand, not to mention the disparity in strength between the two sides, the odds of winning are extremely high, even if you can't find anyone, it doesn't matter, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the credit is not just how to report it below.

But Wen Jinqian can't do it, he must 'keep his duty', and he will do errands, and he would rather say ugly things in front.

Regarding the minister's questioning, Jingtai was completely angry, and said with a smile: "Don't figure it out, you can do whatever I say, wait until you get to the southwest, and the soldiers and horses from various states are on standby, and then you will be fine, take your wife and son to go around, I know that your ancestors are also from the southwest, and it is not bad to take this opportunity to go back to your hometown to see, if a state official gives you a gift, just accept it, this time I will not pursue it." ”

"Just go out and play. When the time comes, the bugs will tell you where the rebels are hiding, and you can order nearby soldiers and horses to rush over and destroy the rebels. Put one hundred and twenty hearts, and at that time the leader of the rebels is dead, and there is only a plate of loose sand left, which is a must-win battle! You only have to remember one thing: the counterinsurgency is your own credit, a person's hard work, and it has nothing to do with the little bug, and he has never left the eye city. With that, Jingtai leaned back in his chair and took a sip of tea comfortably: "In the past few years, you have been by my side, not to mention the hard work, but also worried, I can see it, you deserve this credit." ”

Speaking of which, how could Wen Jinqian not understand that the emperor already had a full grasp of the counterinsurgency, and sent him to be a messenger, simply rewarding a great meritorious service in vain to reward his 'duty'.

Wen Jinqian didn't ask any more, knelt on the ground, and thanked him loudly.

Jingtai changed the conversation: "Lan Yuan's case, do you understand?" ”

The latter replied respectfully: "It has been dealt with in accordance with His Majesty's instructions, and the case will be closed." ”

Wen Jinqian answered the emperor's question, but Jingtai suddenly shook his head again: "The case cannot be closed, all those involved in this case, regardless of the master and slave, must be severely punished!" ”

Lanyuan is a county on the northeast coast of Dayan, because of its proximity to the sea, the local illegal salt is overflowing, and the salt barons collude with officials to make huge profits by selling illegal salt, and they have just been investigated and punished. There are many people involved in this case, but Jingtai has already set the tone, and only chasing the culprit and not asking the followers can be regarded as leniency. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the emperor overturned the previous proposal and went on a killing spree.

Wen Jinqian reminded in a deep voice: "There are many people involved in the case, more than 1,000 people. ”

"If you want to investigate strictly, you will investigate strictly, no need to talk nonsense." Although I have been laughing, although I am sure that the rebels will be extinguished immediately, although this rebellion has confirmed to the people of the world that 'the national teacher and the emperor are incompatible', but when the emperor hears that his own army has rebelled, how can he really be happy? When the Lord is unhappy, he always wants to kill people, and only kills this little person, Jingtai is not enough, he lowered his head and thought again: "There is ...... What do you think of the family members of Zhenqing Camp? This kind of thing was not under Wen Jinqian's responsibility, but Jingtai didn't plan to let him do anything, just asked him for his opinion.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, whether he can beat the rebels or not, he will punish the relatives of the rebels. Wen Jinqian immediately shook his head: "In troubled times, you should use heavy canons, but now Dayan is thriving, but there is a small rebel army, and Your Majesty is confident about rebelliousness, so it is not appropriate to make a big difference." ”

Jingtai looked a little hesitant, before leaving, the national teacher had seriously instructed him to restrain his killing surname, even if he endured it first, and then help him kill him when the national teacher came back...... After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "Or draw a bar, such as the family members above Captain Renyong?" cough, forget it, I don't ask you, let's go down, and I'm telling the ministers outside that they are going to find Zhuge Xiaoyu, and I want to see him. ”

Wen Jinqian saluted and retired, but he didn't expect that as soon as he retreated to the door, Jingtai suddenly slapped the table again: "That's right, your wife!" ”

Wen Jinqian was taken aback, completely unclear why the emperor, who was thinking about how to kill someone, mentioned 'your wife', and Jingtai laughed again: "I just said that you should take your wife and children to the southwest to play... It's me who is confused, Qin's mission is an office matter, and I can't bring my family, but it doesn't hurt to bring the children, they are also our Dayan officials, your wife, it's not like a word with it, don't be annoyed, I will help you find an opportunity. ”

Only then did Wen Jinqian understand that the thoughts in His Majesty's mind were dangling, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment...... After the minister retreated, Jingtai turned his eyes to look at the little worm, his smile was ugly, but his eyes were kind: "It's going to be hard for you, can you know what you have to do?" ”

The little insect was full of excitement on his face, calculating his age, before the first product, he was just ten years old when he replaced his predecessor Xiaodouzi, and now he is thirteen, which is the age of young pride, I wish I could go out and do something amazing, and immediately nodded when I heard the words: "Zhenqing is holding the banner of 'protecting the law', thinking that he has a plan, but he is actually seeking his own death." I rushed to the southwest with the tokens left by the master, and asked the senior brothers of the local Sumeru Academy to come forward to contact the thieves, they didn't know the relationship between Banzai and the master, and they would definitely accept the overtures of Lei Yintai, and put down their pockets to wipe out the leaders, and the remaining ownerless rebels were handed over to Lord Wen to deal with. ”

The little insect was smart, and he told the key to the matter at once, Jingtai nodded and smiled: "Yes, but you have to remember that you are just going to pass the word for the national teacher, how to lay out the specific layout, how to arrest the traitor leader, you don't want to participate... Don't get me wrong, it's not that I can't believe you, their martial artists will be a little dangerous when they get guns, I don't want you to get hurt. Besides, you have to ask the senior brothers for help, and you must force a confession. ”

Speaking of this, Jingtai probably paused for a moment, and the little insect replied loudly: "I know, I want to ask where the rebels are hiding, so that our army can encircle and suppress them." ”

Jingtai coughed, shook his head and smiled: "Nonsense, do you still need to talk about this?" Jingtai, who regards human life as a mustard, is very generous to his own people, and he doesn't embarrass the little insects, and gives the answer directly: "Zhenqing's Protector Banner is pure bullshit, I want to find out why they rebelled." ”
