Chapter 195: Decision

It is also inevitable that Li Jiancheng is here, Li Jiancheng, who has come to this era from the 21st century, is inherently different from the people and things here.

Times and people, people and times, these are two completely different relationships. Li Jiancheng is not a natural big man, but he has become a typical representative of a person and an era, and he is the theme and the center. In Li Jiancheng's heart, judging the good or bad of the times is to be free, free to choose and live, without any class oppression and interference. He thinks that only such people are happy and beautiful. So he wanted to make the times and people like this, which is a typical idealist, who empathizes with others who loves and wants.

It may be naΓ―ve and stupid, but we can't say it's bad, because sometimes it's an ideal process to be born. To do or not to do is related to our own choices, and those who do not have a choice can only be implemented by the ideals of others. Isn't the 21st century the world where the idealists of the past created zΓ o? We all live in other people's ideals.

In the glorious municipal government office, in Li Jiancheng's special office, Li Jiancheng was dressed in a casual dress, wearing a black windbreaker outside, and holding a pen made of white marble in his hand and sitting at his desk writing something. Li Jiancheng's appearance is polite and outstanding. This appearance has set a new record for Li Jiancheng.

But today Li Jiancheng didn't have the leisure to show off this, Li Jiancheng stopped his pen and looked out the window for a while before saying: "Let's talk about why things are like this!" ”

As soon as Li Jiancheng spoke, there was finally a sound in the room, which had been silent for most of the day. There were four people standing in front of Li Jiancheng's desk, these four were Wang An, Wei Chao, Li Jinzhong and Luo Sigong. They've been standing here for quite some time.

The Wei Dynasty was the first to breathe a sigh of relief. I don't know when Li Jiancheng has brought people a different kind of pressure. It's too embarrassing to stand in front of him and not speak. You have to die early or late, so it's better to have a good time. Of course, they didn't know that this qiΔ“ was an illusion pretended by Li Jiancheng's raid to learn future leadership, but whether he was an illusion or not, Li Jiancheng did enjoy it.

First of all, Wei Chao was the first to kneel down, and he said: "It is the subordinates who are not good to investigate, and the subordinates should be damned, please ask Your Majesty to give you the guilt." ”

The Wei Dynasty took the first responsibility, and Li Jinzhong naturally knelt down, and the Wei Dynasty said that the investigation was unfavorable, so he said: "It is the subordinates who are not doing well." Please ask the emperor to forgive the sin. ”

Wei Chao and Li Jiancheng Zhongyi said that Wang An, the great eunuch, was naturally not idle, and he said: "The old minister is also responsible for poor supervision, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Wang An, Wei Chao, and Li Jinzhong came like this, and Luo Sigong on the side couldn't be left alone, he said: "Your Majesty, this matter has always been supervised by Weichen, and now that this kind of thing happens, Weichen can't excuse it, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

In this way, the four of them knelt in front of Li Jiancheng, which was really in unison. Li Jiancheng looked at them, he had no idea when they were so united. This couldn't help but make Li Jiancheng's eyes chill, and he said coldly: "You guys are all lost." It's very kind! ”

Li Jiancheng's words were tingling, and the four of them instantly broke into a cold sweat. Since ancient times, the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and the emperor's way of checks and balances is not such a same-spirited branch, and the four of them have invisibly committed a big taboo, this time the four of them really said: "The subordinates are guilty." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the faction system was endless, and most of the factions were united in the same spirit. In the 21st century, when watching ancient court television, it is common to see a minister who makes a mistake, and the emperor wants to punish him, at this time, many ministers kneel down together and plead with the emperor for forgiveness. Li Jiancheng used to think that such a scene was very righteous and loving when he was watching TV, if the emperor on TV didn't listen to this, Li Jiancheng would feel that the emperor was too unkind. But after such a thing in front of him so many times, he didn't think so.

Li Jiancheng became the emperor himself before he knew that the emperor was the law; The importance of not changing a word. That's what an emperor can govern a country by. The collective intercession of those ministers when they were wrong seemed to be very harmonious, but in fact, fundamentally speaking, this was a great impact on the imperial power, which constantly affected the decisiveness of the imperial power, and was also a kind of collective rebellion against those in power. It is no wonder that many emperors in history have insisted on going their own way the more they encounter such things.

Li Jiancheng now knew that there was also this kind of atmosphere in his team, he looked at the four kneeling people and didn't call them up, he said: "Before the reclamation work, I had instructed that we must check the ownership of the farmland that was reclaimed, right?" So why did there actually happen to encroach on the land of the prince? And it's not a problem in one or two places, what the hell is going on? ”

The four of them breathed for a moment, and Wang An said: "Your Majesty, the acres of land that the previous emperors have rewarded have been recorded by the imperial court commissioners, and the ministers have borrowed the files to verify before the farming, and all the files have been taken out at that time. But I didn't expect that now they have taken out a batch of files that have been lost, and we seek to explain them, and say that these lands have not been taken care of, and have been deserted, or they are still given by the ancestors, and the history is hundreds of years ago, so it was divided and opened, but it has been left for a long time and lost its direction, and now it is only found out! ”

Li Jiancheng frowned when he heard this, he couldn't find it before, and suddenly found out, and then those princes and ministers came to him Li Jiancheng to ask for an explanation, is this a trap that those ministers have already given him Li Jiancheng? No wonder he waited so long and didn't act, it turned out that he didn't move or dug the pit a long time ago!

Li Jiancheng said again: "Isn't there a record of this kind of thing in the palace? ”

Wang An replied again: "Your Majesty is indeed recorded in this palace, but it is only rewarded in the palace. There are indeed very few situations in the field, and most of these things in the field are in the hands of the court officials, and in many cases, as long as the court has written records, it is basically the real situation! ”

Wang An's words were a bit interesting, Li Jiancheng understood that the joint land management was in the hands of the imperial court, as long as they had written evidence, it was considered legitimate if they had a basis, who made them the central? Think about it, many high-ranking officials and nobles open their own fields, they naturally have a way to get the title deed by going around, and then after a long time, the land may panic again, but the land is already his legal right.

Looking at the stack of complaints at hand, most of them were estimated to be the case, Li Jiancheng was silent for a while, and he said: "I will not pursue you for the time being, and I will give the highest priority to solving the problem at present." Wang An, Luo Sigong, Wei Chao, Li Jinzhong, etc., you are the people I trust and close to me the most, and you are the first force to follow me to innovate, and you are the cornerstone that I rely on the most to change the country. I think you should all understand that I am seeking change and innovation, and this process is extremely difficult. As my hands and feet, I hope that you will be able to solve more problems. And after all this, you have your own judgment on what is good and what is bad, right and wrong, you know? ”

Li Jiancheng's words struck in the hearts of several people, both as a warning and as a heart. Several people knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "The ministers are willing to look forward to the head of the horse for Your Majesty, and their bodies and bones will be broken." ”

No matter what Li Jiancheng's words are, the importance he shows now is enough to make a few people show loyalty, these eunuchs and guards are royal retainers, and they will do whatever the emperor says, this is their duty, and being a retainer is that regardless of black and white, the more they listen to the master's words, the more they conform to the master's thoughts, the more benefits they will be.

Li Jiancheng said: "Well, you guys get up." I hope you can make a clear attitude towards this matter, this matter cannot be completely unreasonable, and some people under my command who don't know the place don't let them do it! You are in my chariot, you should know what I am doing, carelessness will kill you. This time it was against a lot of you, and the next time it might be. Remember my words, I don't save fools. ”

Li Jiancheng's last words shocked the four of them, what kind of leader did what kind of thing they encountered, but unfortunately a few of them encountered a leader who had to work.

The four of them all said very dignifiedly: "Yes, Your Majesty!" The ministers understood. ”

Then Li Jiancheng said: "Okay, then Luo Sigong listens to the order, and immediately sends people to arrest Ye Congfeng, Zhou Ming, and Xinlan, the three people who are in charge of the North China development plan, and send them to the prison of the Criminal Department, and convene the ministers early tomorrow morning to publicly try the matter of encroaching on the fields of the princes and ministers!" ”

Li Jiancheng's order was shocked, could it be that the emperor wanted to use the lives of these three people to appease the anger of those nobles? This simply subverted the impression of the four people, they couldn't believe that this was an order from the emperor, Luo Sigong said: "Your Majesty, this is not Ye Gongzi's fault, Your Majesty XiΓ  can't..."

Li Jiancheng didn't wait for them to speak, he said coldly: "What, isn't my words good?" Don't you understand my commands? ”

Luo Sigong was so blocked by Li Jiancheng's tone that he couldn't speak, Wei Chao and Li Jinzhong didn't know what they were thinking when they saw the emperor not talking at all, and Wang An, the old eunuch who was used to seeing the emperor's family hot and cold, also shut up and didn't speak. Luo Sigong, who had worked with Ye Congfeng and others for a while, could only grit his teeth and say, "Weichen Zun!" ”

"Well, go ahead and do it! Stand down, all of you! Li Jiancheng finally said these words and walked to the window with his back to them, looking at the sunset outside and not speaking. Luo Sigong waited for a slow exit, and at the moment he closed the door, Luo Sigong looked at the emperor's disappearing figure and thought: Maybe as the emperor said, this time it is not against them, and next time it may be. Will they be the next sacrifice of the emperor's actions? The emperor said that he didn't save the stupid, could it be that what Ye Congfeng did yesterday was really stupid? If so, why did the Emperor lead them like this in the first place? (To be continued......)
