Chapter 32: The Divine Decree

The empty Taihe Hall became silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Wang Ao. Bayi Chinese Network

Wang Ao stroked his beard, and if he wanted to say something, he already had a draft in his heart, and said slowly: "The old minister heard that on the 10th day of the first month of March, Guozijian was surrounded by Liu Zhongxia, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, for no reason, and some people used knives and guns. Since His Majesty came to power, he has successively promulgated the will of the four noble scholars, but now there are people outside the Guozijian and the Temple of Literature who are so unscrupulous. The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Mu Bin, is generous, but there is such a big thing in the Jinyi Guard, as the commander, Mu Bin has the responsibility of supervising the pro-army, and if the old minister does not impeach him, who will he impeach? ”

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the military department on the side, took the opportunity to say: "It's really getting more and more disagreeable, those captains are rampant in the Beijing Division, and now they have moved to the head of the Guozijian, please Your Majesty is aware of everything, and you have to rectify it." ”

This Ma Wensheng said it soundingly, but he stood up with Wang Ao to impeach the Jinyi Guard, Ma Wensheng has now become a street rat in the Guozi Prison, if he supports the Jinyi Guard again at this time, maybe there will be prisoners to make trouble tomorrow, and those prisoners are not once or twice, today they will write poems to scold you, and tomorrow they will instruct people to splash feces at your door, no one can stand it.

Ma Wensheng's move is to take advantage of this opportunity to show goodwill to the Guozi Supervisor, not only to show that he has a generous and tolerant bearing, but also to hope that he can fight with the prisoner. Therefore, although Wang Ao took the lead in demanding the punishment of Jinyiwei, it was Ma Wensheng who was the most motivated.

As soon as Zhu Youzhu heard the three words of Guozijian, his eyebrows couldn't help but stretch: "Oh? It turns out that there is such a public case, why has no one reported it before? When it comes to Guozijian, this is different, what did Mu Bin do? Is it empty words when I have sent out my will again and again? ”

"Your Majesty......" Sitting opposite Wang Ao and Ma Wensheng were three ministers, one of whom turned a little red, and couldn't help but say: "What the old minister heard is different from what Lord Wang said, Jinyiwei is not guilty." ”

Zhu Youzhi's eyes fell on the source of the voice, and the person who spoke was Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, Xie Qiansheng was dignified and handsome, wearing a bright red robe, and the winged hat on his head was probably trembling up and down because of excitement.

Seeing Xie Qian's angry look, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help but sigh, among the troika of the cabinet, Liu Jian, a scholar, was decisive, and Li Dongyang was good at strategy, as for this Xie Qian, he was eloquent, strong, and the best at arguing with reason.

Zhu Youzhu said to Xie Qian with a smile: "I don't know what Xie Aiqing heard?" ”

Xie Qian raised his head and said: "Jinyiwei besieged the Guozijian, it was not groundless, but before this, there were people in the Guozijian who made noise, and now that all countries are coming, it is also the duty of Jinyiwei to suppress the riots." ”

Zhu Youji's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "In this way, Jinyiwei is not at fault. ”

"Yes!" Wang Ao was refuted by Xie Qian, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Lord Xie said is not wrong, but there is still a secret in this matter. Although there were people in the Guozijian who made a noise, so that it was out of control, but later, Liu Chengfeng, the captain who was sitting in the hall, ......"

Wang Ao was unhurried and told the story of the incident.

When Zhu Youzhu heard this, he was secretly surprised at first, and then he knew that it was so dangerous, if the angry prisoner really ran to the noon gate to make trouble, the face of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty would be completely ruined. When Liu Chengfeng calmed down the situation, Zhu Youji's eyes moved, and he couldn't help thinking: "This person is decisive, in a hurry, he didn't hurt the prisoner, but also took care of my face, but I don't know if he stabbed himself with a knife or not." ”

Hearing that Liu Zhongxia led the troops to arrive and surrounded the Guozi Prison Group, Zhu Youzhu frowned again, feeling a little nervous, with his mental skills, of course he knew that the prisoners had always eaten soft and not hard, once they saw the military horses, the prisoners who had finally been pacified would inevitably be in a commotion, and the situation would be out of control at that time.

It wasn't until Wang Ao said that Liu Chengfeng drew his knife and wanted to coerce Liu Zhongxia to withdraw from the Guozijian with his military horse, that Zhu Youzhu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say: "This person is so bold, he is really bold to force back thousands of households as a school captain." ”

Wang Ao finally said: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng appeased the Guozijian and originally had merit, but Liu Zhongxia, who was a thousand households, was resentful and wanted to treat Liu Chengfeng for one of the following crimes. Which is right and which is wrong, the old minister does not dare to assert, but the reward and punishment of Jinyiwei are unknown, and the old minister thinks otherwise, as the commander of Jinyiwei, Mu Bin can hardly escape the blame. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded, his cloudy eyes glowed with some light, and he said, "There is such a thing?" ”

Xie Qian and Mu Bin are good friends, Wang Ao turned over this account, which made Xie Qian feel that Wang Ao was a little embarrassed by him, Xie Qian was an anxious man, and couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, the old man wants to ask you, is Liu Chengfeng your protΓ©gΓ©?" You protect Liu Chengfeng everywhere, is it not for personal feelings? Why did the old man hear it from the outside, but it was Liu Chengfeng who suppressed the Guozijian, and in order to grab the merit, he drew a knife to Liu Zhongxia of the thousand households? ”

Wang Ao smiled quietly and said, "I have a piece of evidence here, please look at it, and your Majesty will understand everything after reading it." He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was given to him by Liu Chengfeng, Zhu Youzhu asked the eunuch to take it and take a look, raised the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing did not show favoritism, this letter is a joint petition of a total of 73 people, Dr. Guozijian and the prisoners, and it has narrated the story as it is, which is exactly what Wang Aiqing said." ”

Xie Qian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then stopped making a sound.

Wang Ao's so-called east wind, in fact, is this paper testimony, as a servant of the ministry, Wang Ao wants to expand the matter of Jinyiwei, which will inevitably cause a backlash from the cabinet, after all, today's Jinyiwei has always been honest and obedient, if he is angry with Mu Bin because of this kind of thing, and then change to a new commander, people may not buy the cabinet's account. Therefore, as soon as Wang Ao announced this matter to the public, it was immediately countered by the cabinet. At that time, even if there is a will in the palace to be investigated in detail, someone will inevitably obstruct it, and only God knows what the final result of the detailed investigation will be.

This piece of paper is enough to clarify the matter, and even if he Xie Qian has an incorruptible tongue, he is helpless.

Wang Ao smiled quietly, and then said: "Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is not to blame on Commander Mou, Commander Mu is a loyal person, Jinyi Wei is good and bad, and occasionally a few indulgent and lawless thousands of households are also expected. It's just that Liu Zhongxia indiscriminately led troops to surround the Guozijian, and then wantonly retaliated against Liu Chengfeng, His Majesty had to see what was going on, punish the evil and promote the good, in order to set an example. ”

Zhu Youzhu pondered for a while, and said: "What Wang Aiqing said makes sense, Liu Chengfeng dealt with it decisively, and he was quite bold, so let's pass on my central decree to go out, Liu Chengfeng has contributed to the country, is loyal, and rewards a hereditary hundred households, so that he can do a good job." ”

"Yes." The eunuch on the side bowed down and saluted Zhu Youji, and went down to pass the word.

Zhu Youzhu did not say his opinion on Liu Zhongxia's treatment, but Wang Ao smiled quietly, already knowing it, and then said: "In addition, although Liu Chengfeng temporarily suppressed the rebellion, sooner or later, one day the Guozijian will still make trouble, and it is better to cure the symptoms than the root cause. ”

Ma Wensheng was the biggest victim of this incident, and after listening to Wang Ao's words, he hurriedly said: "What Lord Wang said is good. ”

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, the two elders, just sat on the side and smiled and didn't speak, until now, they all had an attitude of staying out of the matter, and they never spoke until the critical hour.

Xie Qian was still a little resentful in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "It's not easy to cure the root cause, the prison students have never stopped making trouble since they became ancestors, and the past dynasties have either suppressed or appeased, but didn't that time suppress and appease?" As a result, within a few days, find something else to trouble? ”

Zhu Youzhu also felt that it was tricky, on the one hand, he was a good man, and in order to set such an example, it was impossible for him to be angry with the prisoners easily. But on the other hand, if the prisoners make a fuss, the shock caused is definitely not small, and it cannot be blindly appeased.

Wang Ao said slowly: "That Liu Chengfeng has an idea. ”

"Hmph, can a lieutenant also participate in political affairs?" Xie Qian's voice was a little louder, and his anger was even stronger.

Zhu Youzhu was patient, and pressed his hand and said, "Xie Aiqing, it's okay to listen to it." ”

Wang Ao still said slowly: "In fact, it is very simple to cure the root cause, the so-called blocking is not as good as sparse, why not set up an advisory bureau in the Guozijian, appoint court officials to let the prisoners discuss political affairs in the middle of the month, and then copy the main points and submit them to the palace, so that the prisoners have the opportunity to reach the heavens to listen, and naturally they will not have nothing to do, and Your Majesty can speak widely, and you can also know the thoughts of the prisoners, and then prescribe the right medicine, and then no one in the Guozijian will naturally make trouble anymore." ”

Wang Ao's suggestion was said, everyone in the hall seemed slightly surprised, as a cabinet scholar, Liu Jian's eyes wiped a trace of suspicion, and he couldn't help but think, did this method come up with the captain, or did Wang Ao say it through the mouth of the captain?

Liu Jian first looked at Wang Ao, and then his eyes fell on Zhu Youji, he already knew at this time that if he was to be replaced by other emperors, he was afraid that he would never be willing, but it was precisely the current emperor who has always been diligent in government, coupled with the reputation of cherishing advice and speaking widely, the charter of this advisory bureau will definitely be worthy of Zhu Youji's appetite.

Sure enough, Zhu Youzhu listened, his eyes lit up, and he said: "The idea of opening up the way is good, this is the policy of seeking the country, setting up an advisory bureau, on the one hand, it can control the remarks of the prisoners, and at the same time, it can let me know the thoughts of the prisoners, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, but this charter was thought up by a school captain?" This is a bit interesting, this person seems not simple, come here, when the holy decree is read, give him a flying fish suit. ”
