Chapter 82: Attack and Defense
Luo Sigong took the ministers to start a tour of the new look of the entire 'Special Investigation Bureau', and the ministers who were arrested were all locked up in a big house, neither coerced confessions nor abused, but only restricted in their freedom!
As soon as they saw those ministers, they began to shout, but the agents of the Special Investigation Bureau locked the door and did not let them out, Luo Sigong spoke: "How about my lords, we didn't kill them." These adults are just suspects to our Special Investigation Bureau now, and we have prepared a good cup of tea for them! Next to this room is the examination room, according to His Majesty's regulations, our special investigation bureau is not allowed to use torture instruments to extract confessions! Therefore, the suspect who enters the Special Investigation Bureau will first examine his injuries, and when he comes out, he will make sure that he is in the same condition as when he came in, which can be supervised by all adults! And then there's our interrogation room. ”
Luo Sigong pushed open the door on one side, and saw a room with no windows at all and an oil lamp lit, and there was a table in it with two people sitting on both sides, one was locked in a chair, and the other was holding a pen to record! The locked person turned his back to the crowd, and the person who was engaged in the record sat in front of him and asked while writing something: "Lord Yu, may I ask if you bought something from a merchant surnamed Ding on the 10th of September, and then gave less than three cents!" ”
The man surnamed Yu on the chair roared: "Bastard, who are you, I am a five-grade official of the imperial court, why are you interrogating me!" ”
The interrogator said: "Lord Yu, you are not interesting, our Special Investigation Bureau has an investigation order issued by His Majesty, not to mention that you are a five-grade, even if the cabinet minister should investigate, we must also investigate!" ”
This man's beautiful words were unabashed, as if they had been rehearsed, and as soon as he finished speaking, he continued: "Lord Yu, don't waste time, just tell me whether you have done this or not, and what alibi you have that day." Once we've investigated it, we're fine! ”
"Bastard, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, don't you just want to frame Lord Ben? Come, come, I'm not afraid of anything! "This man looked like he was going to die.
The interrogator was speechless and said: "Lord Yu, please don't make the matter so serious, it's a matter of three cents, and we won't do anything to you if you admit it, at most we will let you pay it back." But since you are so uncooperative, then we can only postpone the investigation, and first investigate those cases that cooperate, and you will have to push back this matter, I'm sorry you have to be detained for a few more days, come on, next! ”
As soon as the interrogator called, someone came in through another door and took this Lord Yu away, and at this time, this Lord Yu saw the adults at the door on the other side, and he immediately shouted at these people for help. The people watching on the other side really don't know what to say!
The emperor was also next to them, and Li Jiancheng said to this: "Look at these officials, not to mention the things that have been reported, they don't even cooperate with the people I sent to investigate, and they don't take me seriously!" This time, let these people learn a lesson, give an explanation to the common people, and kill their spirit. ”
As soon as Li Jiancheng said this, the other ministers didn't know how to deal with it, Li Jiancheng was right, how to say that this matter was also ordered by the emperor, and it was okay if you didn't cooperate in private, but it would not work if you didn't cooperate.
After visiting the entire Special Investigation Bureau, after the ministers determined which officials were caught, Li Jiancheng said: "This time the matter is a bit hasty, but you adults don't have to worry, I will not hurt them, and I guarantee that when they go out, it will be the same as now. Of course, this number is not too much, and I will not grasp some trivial things. This will not be the case in the future! ”
Fang Congzhe heard this and asked first: "Your Majesty, please also make it clear what to do with such a thing in the future?" ”
Li Jiancheng thought about it and said, "From now on... Let's change from a clear investigation to an unannounced visit, I have to have something to do after tens of thousands of Jinyi guards are reorganized as investigators. The so-called one has two, catch the rape in bed, catch the thief and take the stolen goods! When you are reported for committing a crime, I can catch you when I commit it, so you adults should have nothing to say! ”
The adults really have nothing to say, but when the emperor said this, could he not look at everyone, as if everyone was a criminal. Li Jiancheng's words still felt that some people were inappropriate, and Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of History, said: "Is there something wrong with this surveillance under Your Majesty, all the ministers are working for the country, and this kind of surveillance will inevitably affect the work of the courtiers!" ”
Li Jiancheng felt that what he said was also sincere and said: "Don't worry, ordinary things will not adopt such a model, at most you can ask your adults face to face, just like the kind of thing you just heard." In addition, there is another way to do things in the adulterous department.,Only some necessary things will be used in this way.,For example, any of you will be monitored for such things as collecting some wise people's ointment.,As long as you don't commit this kind of thing, don't you have to worry.,Isn't it all your part in it? ”
When Li Jiancheng said this, everyone had nothing to say to accompany Li Jiancheng and laugh. Although the emperor arrested these officials, he did not harm them, and these ministers could not hold on to this matter, and the first thing that was reported would not be true. And the emperor also said that he would release them in a few days. They didn't have anything to say about it, at most the emperor was coming to ask for someone when he didn't let them go.
Everyone was a little stunned in this battle, they were all set aside by the emperor, and then Li Jiancheng wanted to leave these ministers to eat here, but where could they eat, they all left in a hurry. Li Jiancheng watched them go, and this matter was not over yet, the beginning was that he Li Jiancheng won first, and they had no way to catch him Li Jiancheng's move. But then he has already attacked and defended different positions, and it is the turn of the ministers to recruit him, Li Jiancheng will take it, which is his Li Jiancheng's expectation, and he has no choice.
The so-called game probably means this, you attack me and I block, and I attack you. Whoever can't stand it first will fall first. This time it was time to really decide the winner, Li Jiancheng successfully transferred the enemy's main force, and waited for the decisive battle. Anyway, if these people don't fight with him Li Jiancheng, he will not release those 'hostages' who have been locked up, and they have to do something if they don't act. If this momentum is not broken, this matter will not be over. He can't stand Ming Shizong's war of words with the courtiers all day long, let's give everything to the actual one, it's the elder brother who wins the game, and the younger brother who smashes the game.
Li Jiancheng's expectations are all accurate, and the ministers who returned to their respective homes have different thoughts, at this time, in Liu Yijing's mansion, there are still those few people sitting together, their faces are all black, this time the matter has not been done and was frustrated by the emperor, their faces are all black and gloomy.
Gu Zao, Feng Sanyuan, and Yao Zongwen, who had been here last time, were also here, and their faces were also dark, and the scholar Gu Zao's eyes flickered and glanced at everyone, and suddenly he said: "Your Excellency is becoming more and more assertive today, and the special investigation bureau is clearly set up against my Wenchen." In my opinion, this is no different from the Jinyi Wei of the year, anyway, they are all listening to Your Majesty's Majesty, your disaster back then is not far away, there is a plan to break this situation, and it can also make Your Majesty surrender, I don't know what you think! ”
As soon as Gu Zao's words were said, the eyes of the others all looked at him, and the emperor first used the newspaper to set up a civilian supervisor and then a special investigation bureau to investigate and try, and no one with a clear eye could see that this was dealing with their civil servants. But the emperor's methods are so above board, everyone is watching, but everyone can't say a word about it!
This is the so-called pursuit of purity, and it is another thing to practice. In ancient China, it was not a noble system, and its purpose was to protect all people, not the so-called aristocratic interests. The purpose can be misinterpreted, but it cannot be changed! There is nothing to say about the imperial power to maintain its own imperial power, and the ministers are also trying their best to maintain their status, which is also nothing to say. But these nobles who are not nobles are not real nobles after all, and the government is not a country of nobilism, so they cannot resist the word Qingzheng.
The essence of Chinese people saying one thing and doing one thing is deep for a long time, and it is difficult to see if this is good or bad after all! It's like yin and yang. It is precisely because of his set of words that he has some norms that make it impossible for the darkness to spread out of the surface, and it is precisely because of the darkness that he has that beautiful set of statements to suppress, so that the darkness cannot spread out of the cup. This is inherited from the ancient Chinese way of yin and yang, which is also the essence of ancient China, the principle of yin and yang balance.
Great wisdom comes from the chaotic order, but also from the ruthless law, and the person who enforces it is the one who truly abandons good, evil, and self, and only survives for the sake of power. Everyone looked at Gu Zao, and they all wanted to hear what he was planning, Liu Yijing said: "Master Gu has any plan to listen to!" ”
Gu Zao arched his hand, with a hideous face on his face, and he said, "Hasn't Your Majesty always claimed that it is his responsibility to take the people of the world as his responsibility? Didn't he say that he could do anything for the good of the people? I have a canal with millions of workers, and it just so happens that the burden of the canal is greatly reduced by the construction of the road under His Majesty, and I don't think it's a problem to reduce hundreds of thousands of people! ”
As soon as Gu Zao's words came out, everyone present gasped, and they all looked at him with an incredible gaze. Minus a few hundred thousand? This is not just a problem of hundreds of thousands of people, counting the families of these workers, it is a matter of livelihood for millions of people! This man will leave millions of people without a single word!
After Gu Zao finished speaking, he snorted coldly and said, "Let's see if these workers are his people in the eyes of the emperor!" ”
Gu Zao's words were self-evident, but everyone couldn't help but feel cold when they looked at Gu Zao's eyes, and the ruthlessness of this canal party person didn't need to be expressed, it was just the poison of this desperate plan, how outrageous it was! Everyone's breath couldn't help but pause, it seems that this time Li Jiancheng expects the opponent to counterattack, this punch is definitely a heavy blow!
