Chapter 400: The Reward for Meritorious Deeds
One by one, the letter was urgently reported to Jinling.
Jinling has been raining continuously recently, and ordinary people are inevitably cursing a few words, but the literati and writers are full of interest, and deliberately chose this drizzly day to sit in a sedan chair or hold an oil umbrella and sail on the lake, the lake surface of the Qinhuai River is covered with a faint light veil-like smoke, the smoke is curling, the shore is swaying slowly in the drizzle breeze, and the raindrops are beating the willow leaves, squirming, like a dream.
On the boat, Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, did not stay idle for too long, a small boat approached the building boat, and then someone looked for Jin Zhong and whispered a few words in his ear.
Jin Zhong frowned when he heard this, and got off the boat.
The Forbidden City was shrouded in this mist, and the mist like a light veil swirled in the shining palace walls, and it still could not hide its majesty.
There was a dragon in the warm pavilion, steaming, and the good news fell on the desk, Zhu Di was both relaxed and a little dignified.
The summoned ministers had already taken their seats, and many of them had a very uneasy face.
Jin Zhong came relatively late, he was not on duty today, he was busy, who knew that something happened at this time.
Zhu Di said slowly: "Zhuqing, don't you know what the good news of the past few days has been?" ”
His Majesty opened Chrysostom, naturally waiting for everyone to speak freely.
In fact, most of the courtiers belong to the squid, one by one is slippery, but there are many tentacles, now His Majesty has not even set the tune, God knows what people think, so everyone is embarrassed, if the tone is set, everyone must speak freely, but if the tone is not set, there is no score for this matter, who knows if it will say the wrong thing.
So many people went to see Xie Jin very chickenly.
Xie Jin's old face is ancient and there is no wave. In my heart, I can't wait to tear up all these people, don't look at him as the most trusted and in an important position. But this is the surface light, at least at this time, everyone can be a turtle with a shrunken head, but he can't.
Xie Jin smiled on his face and said slowly: "The good news a few days ago, Weichen has seen it, and he attacked Hoi An. The thief army was in turmoil, and the Marquis of Fengcheng took advantage of the situation to attack again, and it seems that this Jiaozhi will be calm just around the corner. This matter is gratifying for the country, and it is also a great joy for the monks and laymen of Jiaozhi. Naturally, Hao Fenglou, Hou of Haiphong, and Li Bin, Hou of Fengcheng, are all indispensable ......"
Zhu Di said lightly: "The Marquis of Fengcheng is dead......
Zhu Di's voice fell. The people present were stunned.
He's dead. How did he die? Why is there no return?
Any recital generally has to go through the Wenyuan Pavilion and the General Administration, how can it be said that death is death, and His Majesty knows it, but the rest of the people don't know?
This incident not only made people stunned, but also made Xie Jinren and others have a bad premonition. Li Bin's life or death doesn't matter to him, but the most important thing is why the emperor can get news outside the palace without showing his face.
The scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion are actually not very high in terms of official positions and grades, and their qualifications may not be comparable to the books of various ministries. The most important reason for their esteemed status is that they are well-informed. And it has the right to discuss politics. Almost all the recitals need to go through these people, and these people draw up their opinions on the recitals and then send them to the imperial review, they are equivalent to the staff of the Son of Heaven, as long as their proposed votes are not too contrary to the intentions of the Son of Heaven, they will basically be approved.
So in a sense, their authority is equivalent to that of the prime minister, but now, they suddenly show that they are not very well-informed.
Zhu Di immediately pointed to a stack of books on the case, and said: "I am a little tired, I want to go and take a rest, the books here, Zhu Qing read it by himself, and after half an hour, I will discuss this matter with Zhu Qing." ”
With that, Zhu Di stood up and walked away.
Everyone here, look at me, let me look at you, Jin Zhong and a few other Shangshu can still calm down, anyway, they are the ministry, and the matter of playing the book has nothing to do with them, as for what happened, they are a little curious.
But for Xie Jin, Jin Youzi, Hu Yanren, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqiren, etc., it is not trivial.
It's just that at this time, they didn't have the heart to care about this, and the internal officials had already taken out the stack of recitals and divided them.
Xie Jin's face was quite calm, and he looked at the books patiently.
Without exception, these cantata books all come from Cochin.
There are many people who have written the book, and there are many generals, and all of them are condemning Li Bin for bullying the monarch, killing good people and risking meritorious service, and deducting military salaries.
Xie Jin was watching here, and Jin Zhong was also watching, so he didn't care about it, only to know that Hao Fenglou had killed Li Bin.
As the secretary of the Ministry of War, Jin Zhong really doesn't know what to say, Li Bin is the chief military officer, with such an identity, without a holy decree, who would dare to kill lightly? Even if he was a place where the military department was decentralized, he would never dare to make a mistake.
But this Hao Fenglou actually killed the chief military officer when he said he would kill him.
Although Li Bin is guilty, it shouldn't be so.
Not only that, but there are also many military attachés who have lost their heads.
Jin Zhong took a deep breath and frowned, although he thought that Hao Fenglou was bold, but then he thought about it, and felt that this Hao Fenglou was not a good type, since he dared to kill people, he must have something to rely on, so he continued to turn down.
This is a shocking sight, there are complaints everywhere, and there are many from bullying the monarch to robbing the people's daughters and greedy for military salaries.
After thinking about it carefully, Jin Zhong knew that Li Bin's crime was there, otherwise it would be impossible for so many books to be completely nonsense. But then again, this Li Bin has almost been listed with hundreds of crimes, is it really so bad? It's definitely not true, most of the walls are pushed by everyone, and it just so happens that everyone is dirty, so they simply splash all the sewage on Li Bin.
In other words, Li Bin is not dead, as long as the person is still there, he still has a mouth, and he has confidants, relatives and friends, and no one dares to make such a mistake. But Li Bin is dead, he can't speak anyway, and it just so happens that there is a bad debt in the Jiaozhi army, and everyone will not be polite.
Hao Fenglou killed Li Bin, I am afraid that he had this intention.
Naturally, the real reason for killing Li Bin is in Hao Fenglou's recital: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and the people complained about it, and they repeated it again and again. ”
This is not difficult to understand, a bit of a strong argument, but the facts are in front of you, Li Bin is dead, and Jiaozhi will be calmed, if Jiaozhi is chaotic, then it is Hao Fenglou's responsibility, but if Jiaozhi is Chengping, then it also proves Hao Fenglou's correctness.
At the same time, many of these recitals are about the gentry and celebrities of Annam, for only one reason, Li Bin misled the country and harmed the people.
After reading all the recitals, no one in the audience said a word.
Everyone's eyes glanced at each other, but they all had their own plans.
I have to say that Hao Fenglou's boldness has exceeded their expectations, but on the whole, it seems that this Hao Fenglou is justified in killing again, and there is nothing to find fault with for a while, of course, there are also places to be picky, but people can justify themselves, which is embarrassing.
After a while, Zhu Di returned.
Zhu Di was still dressed in civilian clothes, but he still couldn't hide his tiger spirit, sat on the royal chair with a big slump, closed his eyes, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Jin Youzi said with a smile: "The ministers have read this book, it stands to reason, this matter can be big or small, Li Bin is expected to be guilty, but after all, it is one party guarding, how can it be said that it will be killed?" So Weichen thinks that this matter has to be asked. ”
Zhu Di smiled, but said nonchalantly: "It's a bad rule to say that killing is killing, but don't you see it?" This is an expedient measure, in order to appease people's hearts, Li Bin killed the good and risked the merits, slaughtered the people, and everyone hated him to the bone, didn't he do it? If you don't kill him, how long will the rebellion last? Hao Fenglou is a quick knife to cut through the mess, and he can't make mistakes. ”
Jin Youzi was closed, how did he know that there had always been correspondence between Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou, although Zhu Di did not explicitly say that he would kill Li Bin, but he also had the intention of letting Hao Fenglou act cheaply.
In this way, Zhu Di's thoughts are already clear, and it is gratifying to calm down Jiaozhi, and the others are trivial and not worth mentioning.
Everyone here, even Jin Zhong, fell silent at the moment, and they really didn't have the heart to touch this reverse scale at this moment.
Xie Jin smiled, nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, this Li Bin should indeed be killed, although the method is to be discussed, but after all, it will be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and the reason is reasonable." Hao Fenglou is really my pillar of the Ming Dynasty, so happy, so that the military attachés in the army have applauded him, and the gentry and celebrities of Jiaozhi also waved their flags and shouted for him. ”
Xie Jin spoke slowly and logically, but many people couldn't help but be shocked.
Explain the words of the public, punish the heart!
Think about it, a courtier in a place like Jiaozhi where the emperor is far away, he has not only the support of the army, but also the support of the people, although this mouth is praise, doesn't it secretly say that Hao Fenglou is full-fledged?
No Son of Heaven can see that a courtier is too fledgling, even if it is a prince, the Son of Heaven has taken precautions, not to mention that he is still a righteous son.
Xie Gong said slowly, but suddenly changed his words and said: "Your Majesty, since this Jiaozhi has been decided, it should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, why not immediately summon Hao Fenglou and his son into Beijing, Your Majesty has to personally summon and praise him." However, Weichen thought that the father and son of the Hao family were deeply loved by the officers and soldiers and the people of Jiaozhi, and at this time, Jiaozhi was in ruins, and he might not be willing to let go. ”
At this time, everyone looked at Xie Jin in astonishment.
And Xie Jin is still smiling lightly, like a spring breeze.
