Chapter 229: The Iron Law of Sealing
The generals at all levels of the Black Tiger Army have been acting in an intense and orderly manner since they received the holy order at the beginning of the month. The Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, the Five Military Battalions, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses are all changing day by day in the garrison.
The careful people in the capital still noticed some changes, the original soldiers ran all over the city, but now they are gone. Occasionally, a team of soldiers and horses passed by, and it was no longer the same noisy and shouting, cross-body weapons, and disheveled image as before. The silence, the silent and neat pace, with the smell of killing, made the people dare not approach. Occasionally, he approached, but was swept away by a whip from an indifferent general.
This is still a change in appearance, and I feel that the biggest change is still the families of these soldiers. A secret order for the family members to move out of the city. Those who did not want to leave the city were driven out of the barracks, and now they regret it too late to see the changes in the army. The gag order and twenty taels of snowflake silver made them even more afraid to ask.
After all, there are still some people who have relationships and use their connections to inquire privately, but the relationships in those mansions are even more fragmented, and they dare not reveal anything, which makes them feel depressed. It's just that what these people don't know is that these relationships between them are also terrifying in the official office.
The killing gods in the official office are like maggots on tarsal bones, penetrating their hearts. Nowadays, every day in the government offices, a black-clothed messenger reads out the government newspaper, and the content of this government newspaper is shocking. All of them were officials of a certain ministry or a certain government who were beheaded or sent to prison because of their lack of secrecy or their ability to work. Under this kind of urging, how dare they reveal half a sentence?
Outside the day by day changes in the barracks and government institutions. All of them are in a state of high-speed operation. In the palace, too, changes are beginning to begin.
The status of Gonggong De and Nangong Yan has risen dramatically.
The Queen Mother personally participated, and was grasped by Gonggong De and Nangong Yan. There was also an earth-shaking cleanup in the palace. Those who were previously suppressed by Wang Zhen's party began to emerge and slowly appeared on the stage. The chief stewards and eunuchs of each prison and bureau were removed and replaced.
On this day, Tong Hang summoned Cao Nai in the upper study.
As soon as Cao Nai entered the study, he saw that the emperor was reading the recital, and he was busy standing aside.
Not much. Tong Hang finished the recital and sighed. Put down the wolf's hair, and looked up to see Cao Nai standing below.
"Master Cao is here. Look! ”
Tsing Yi next to him hurriedly sent over a brocade pier.
Cao Nai hurriedly knelt down and called out to Shi Lishan. Thank you. After standing up, half of the ass sat on the brocade pier.
Tong Hang leaned back, spread out his hands to support the case, and said, "Lord Cao." Can Wenyuan Pavilion be a good candidate? ”
Cao Nai saw the emperor and asked about it. Hurriedly stood up and arched his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, since the two Yang Pavilion elders died, Yang Shiqi Yang Pavilion is always free, and now the only person who walks in Wenyuan Pavilion is Ma Yuma." ”
Tong Hang didn't know who Ma Yu was, so he hurriedly said, "Master Ma? ”
Cao Nai understood that the emperor was taken out of the palace by Wang Zhen at the age of nine, and many old things had been forgotten. Busy said: "Your Majesty, the character and." No. Xuan. He was a lecturer at the feast and entered the service to study. ”
For the scripture preacher? Waiting? It turned out to be the prince's teacher. In other words, he has been his own teacher?
Tong Hang originally had the intention of letting Cao Nai be the first assistant, but now that Wenyuan Pavilion has agreed on Ma Yu, it is not easy for him to say anything. So he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let him be." ”
Cao Nai let out a long sigh. He was really afraid that in this eventful season, the emperor appointed him as the first assistant. Although he has been looking forward to it for many years, he really doesn't dare to go to this emperor with a bumpy fate and a changeable temperament.
Tong Hang actually knew Ma Yu as a person, and also knew that in addition to Ma Yu and Cao Nai, Wenyuan Pavilion also had Chen Xun, Miao Zhen, Gao Gu, Xiao Di and others. But in addition to Sanyang, he is most familiar with it, and now there is only Cao Nai. However, since they all elected Ma Yu, it seems that Ma Yu must be the best except for Sanyang. In that case, why not use him?
"Master Cao, sit down and talk."
Cao Nai hurriedly agreed to sit down.
"I wonder what Lord Cao thinks of the current series of measures of the imperial court?"
As soon as he heard this, Cao Nai couldn't help but be stunned, the emperor was asking himself. He hurriedly stood up.
When Tong Hang saw it, he smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”
When Cao Nai heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and sat down, thinking for a while. He said: "Your Majesty, these measures are actually excellent. It's just that Weichen feels that 'the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan', and under such heavy pressure, officials of all sizes are afraid to do things, which may be inappropriate. ”
Cao Nai looked at Tong Hang's face, and seeing that he was not unhappy, he paused and continued: "Especially in the Nafu Daily, there are announcements of official offenses every day, so that the officials have relatives, lest the court find out their mistakes. As a result, they only think about not seeking merit but seeking no fault. ”
Tong Hang nodded, and the information fed back by the Black Tiger Guards of the various prefectures also made him realize this.
"It seems that this government newspaper can't just report the negative example, this positive model must also be carried forward." Tong Hang tapped his finger on the table and said, "To carry forward the positive example, it is necessary to report and commend." ”
Hearing the emperor say this, Cao Nai couldn't help but say happily: "The emperor is sage! If so, all officials can be diligent! ”
Tong Hang couldn't help but smile slightly, he couldn't see that this Cao Nai would still be a sycophant, but he liked it!
"It is an iron law that the affairs of this court must not be spread outside! What should be said is that the imperial court will announce it by itself, and there is no need for hundreds of officials to say it. If that's the case, everything will be said by hundreds of officials, and everyone will be the same, and the court will have to refute the rumors every day. This iron law starts from Wenyuan Pavilion! The affairs of the DPRK and China will not be passed on to his wife or children, nor to his relatives and friends, nor to the township party! ”
Cao Nai hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Obey the holy order!" ”
Tong Hang nodded and said, "Lord Cao, do you know why the imperial court has been so nervous recently?" ”
Cao Nai replied honestly: "Back to the emperor, some time ago it was rumored that the palace of thieves had changed, and since the emperor appeared at the court meeting, this cause has been clarified. What happened next, Weichen didn't know, and he didn't dare to guess. ”
Tong Hang raised his hand and motioned for Cao Nai to sit down, and said, "Wang Zhen's palace change is true. ”
When Cao Nai heard this, he couldn't close his mouth in shock.
"Don't be so surprised. The king's thief's ambition is known to the world, and sooner or later there will be this day. Fortunately, I laid out the front and let it fail miserably. ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
But the thief got the news out of nowhere, and ran away ahead of time. That's why I want to be more confidential. ”
I see! Cao Nai couldn't help but nodded, it is difficult to succeed if things are not secret!
"The king thief has harmed the court for many years, and his methods are strange! I have seen that this thief is unwilling to be a thief, and I will definitely make a bad move. Therefore, I had to plan ahead to deal with it. Now, with the assistance of Wenyuan Pavilion and the supervision of the black-clothed guards, the official offices in Beijing have shown Qingming! Even so, I hope that Lord Cao still has a heavy responsibility to help me hold the court as soon as possible and prevent the appearance of dissidents! ”
As soon as he heard the emperor's words, Cao Nai was suddenly excited, rolled down the brocade pier, prostrate on the ground, and shouted with tears in his eyes: "The emperor ordered, Weichen tried his best to dare not care!" ”
Tong Hang stood up, walked over to help Cao Nai, and said, "Cao Qingjia, you are my life-saving benefactor, and Ma Chenghai was also instructed by you back then, so I am where I am today." Now, I need you to be so faithful. ”
Cao Nai trembled with excitement.
Tong Hang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cao Qing's family kneel down." ”
Cao Naitong knelt on the ground with a bang, knocked his head a few times, and the mountain got up and left.
Looking at Cao Nai's sobbing figure, Tong Hang nodded and muttered: "Well, the matter of the imperial court is over, it's time to go and see the training effect of the Peking University camp." (To be continued...... )
