Zhu Hao used the arms of the Zhou family and the Zhang family to give Zhu Si a vivid lesson in his relatives.

In general, just because the relatives are relatives of the emperor, they can't let themselves go, and the relatives who violate the law must also be punished by severe means, and the law is used to stabilize the Ming Dynasty...... This is actually the high hope that Zhu Youqi had for Zhu Si at the beginning.

At the earliest, Sui Gongyan was a teacher in the palace, advocating legalism, and then Zhu Youqi asked Tang Yin to give Zhu Si a special legal class.

This made Zhu Si know from a very young age that meritorious service must be rewarded and if there is a mistake, he fully agreed with what Zhu Hao said.

"Then Zhu Hao, if I really have a chance to become an emperor in the future, don't you mean...... That's how I'm going to restrain my relatives? Zhu Si asked.

Zhu Hao smiled.

After talking for a long time, you finally realized why I am telling you this, because this is a topic that you will face in the future.

"Whoever becomes emperor, it's the same." Zhu Hao emphasized.

Zhu Si smiled and said, "Then if it's you...... Forget it, don't talk about you, just say that if Mr. Tang makes a mistake in the future, will he be punished? Wouldn't that be too harsh? ”

Zhu Hao said solemnly: "The law of tolerance will bring about the collapse of order, no matter who it is, even if it is me who proposes all this, the crime must be punished, if you always think that because you have made merits in the past, you want to offset the merits, or because you are close and do not punish them, then there will be a group of ministers around the emperor, who do evil but no one is held accountable."

"When I entered the palace, Yuan Changshi had an exam question in this regard, and the opinion I gave at that time was that 'the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people', don't say that it is us, even yourself, you can't kill innocents indiscriminately, do you think about the current emperor, after arriving in Jiangnan, he sent people to the people's households to rob women and money, what a bad impact?

"In the end, this is the world of the Ming Dynasty, the people under his own rule, and he disregards the king's law in vain, attracting the spurning of all the people, can such a Ming Dynasty have long-term stability?"

Zhu Hao's rhetoric was fierce.

Zhu Si heard some flavors, but he liked to listen to them.

He likes to listen to Zhu Hao's remarks criticizing the current emperor, which shows that Zhu Hao does not have the idea of being a loyal minister to the current emperor, which makes Zhu Si feel that Zhu Hao is of the same mind as him.

"I learned that no one, including myself, would have to suffer if they sinned." Zhu Sidao.

Zhu Hao nodded: "It's good that you understand, but it's one thing to understand the truth, and it's another thing to implement it, which requires great perseverance and courage." A gentleman is close to his relatives and far from righteousness, and if he doesn't want to be an unrighteous gentleman, he must abide by the rules and not set a precedent. You have to keep that in mind. ”

Zhu Si's little head kept nodding.

Whether he can deeply understand it is another matter, but at least he understands the literal meaning, and he doesn't feel that Zhu Hao's opinion is offended.

……

……

The brawl between the Zhou family and the Zhang family caused an uproar in Beijing.

But as Zhu Hao expected, the emperor doesn't care about this kind of thing, and the queen mother doesn't ask, and the final result is that the big thing becomes small.

When Zhu Hao went to find Tang Yin that day, Jiang Lun happened to mention this matter to Tang Yin and said some inside information that was rarely rumored among the people.

“…… The people of Shuntianfu reported that six or seven people were killed on both sides and dozens of people were injured, but it was for the ownership of a certain shop in a certain area of Jingshi...... Qingyunhou bought a few shops at a low price from the outside, and Shou Ninghou also went to negotiate with his eyes...... A proprietor was harassed by both sides, not to mention the loss of capital, and was dragged out to beat ...... It's not easy to make a living in this Jingshi. ”

Tang Yin frowned when he heard this.

Doing business is a clear price, you and I are willing, but because there is such a group of powerful people in Jingshi, the rules have become decorations.

Your shop is good and your business is good, I will grab it when I see it, and I don't want you for nothing, it was originally worth 1,000 taels, and I will open 200 taels for you...... If you don't sell it to me, you will be put into the official prison to torture, first the Zhou family robbed, and the Zhang family heard that the Zhou family took a big advantage, so they wanted to come to a latecomer to take over......

In the end, the owner of the shop was tortured a lot, not to mention losing the shop, and almost lost his life, and the Zhang family and the Zhou family fought for who could finally grab the shop, and there was a murder case.

Jiang Lun said: "This group of people really doesn't take the Daming Law seriously, so Jinyiwei doesn't let the people talk about it, and once they hear about it, they will be arrested and put in prison, but who doesn't poke the backbone of these two families behind their backs?" Daming is going to be finished! ”

Zhu Hao looked sideways.

It's really not up to you, you can say cool things, right?

It seems that you Jiang Lun is a righteous man and gentleman in history, it is because you have not yet obtained the power of the Zhou family and the Zhang family, so you will say so, and when you have it, it is estimated that you are not much worse than them.

Zhu Hao said with a straight face: "They can be unscrupulous, because no one punishes them, so they will get worse, but if they are severely punished from the beginning, who dares to commit it again?" This is the result of a lack of oversight. ”

Tang Yin asked, "Zhu Hao, why did you suddenly mention the issue of Fadu?" ”

Jiang Lun smiled and said: "They are all relatives of the emperor, no matter what they are now, who dares to care?" ”

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed: "If the acquisition of power is from the top down, this situation will occur, but if the power is from the bottom up, then even if it is in a high position, it must be restrained in doing things, and dare not be blatant." ”

"Zhu Hao, what are you talking about?"

Tang Yin continued to frown.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Assuming that public opinion will make the Marquis of Qingyun and the Marquis of Shouning lose their titles, do you guess they dare to mess around like this?" No one cared about the opinions of the people, and the result was that it intensified, and if the people were to be given this power, they would have to ...... Forget it, the times are different, and it's useless. ”

Tang Yin smiled bitterly: "You finally know what to say, why do you bother so much?" I don't know what's going on in your head all day. ”

Jiang Lun smiled and said: "Don't mention this bad thing, we have been going out less recently, and Jinyiwei has arrested people everywhere, not only for the fight between the Zhang family and the Zhou family, but also for the chaos of traffic with King Ning." I heard that everyone in Jingshi and local officials are in danger, and many people are active in Jingshi, and Mr. Tang once worked in Ningwangfu, so don't be misunderstood by them. ”

King Ning was arrested for rebellion, and the emperor is now "marching south", Jiang Bin wants to take the opportunity to suppress those disobedient officials, and also wants to make money, so he naturally wants to make a big fuss in this regard.

In the past, King Ning sent a lot of gifts to Jingshi, and officials in the court who received gifts from King Ning abounded, and Jiang Bin himself received a lot, but now he has changed his body, using the Dongchang and Jinyi Wei systems under his control to investigate the people who "traffic King Ning".

Check it out for yourself? That's impossible!

Officials who are close to Jiang Bin are not afraid of being investigated, but political enemies should be careful, and if you are not careful, your hat will be buttoned on your head.

Tang Yin nodded: "In the past few days, I rarely go out except for teaching the world...... In fact, even if I appear in Jingshi, I will be forgotten, who remembers me as a scattered person? ”

Tang Yin was depressed.

I don't have a sense of existence in the capital, and at the beginning, under the curiosity of others, I will give a worship post, but after a long time, no one cares, for fear of being implicated by him and causing trouble.

Jiang Lun said: "Others don't care, I care, Xingwangfu treats Mr. Tang as his own, let's have a good drink today, I'll be the ...... I just hired two cooks, I have good skills, I am proficient in northern cuisine, even if I taste fresh, it is excellent......"

"Oh? So much better! ”

The two drunkards, hearing that there is good food and wine, can take care of any power struggle, just want to have a good rubbing, and come to a drunken and not return.

……

……

Zhu Hao has rarely gone out these days.

After all, the exam date is approaching, and he needs to prepare for the exam, but he didn't delay giving Zhu Si a lesson, even if he gave Zhu Si a lesson, he only talked for an hour or two, and sometimes he simply let Zhu Si go to read the history books by himself, take history as a mirror, understand some historical allusions, and draw nourishment from them.

When encountering something that Zhu Si didn't understand, Zhu Hao would explain it from the side, and occasionally give a few questions for Zhu Si to express his feelings.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Zhu Hao did not participate in the Beijing Lantern Festival.

On the same day, Tang Yin and Jiang Lun and others went out to play together, Zhu Hao rested early, and got a "prayer post" early the next morning, which was sent by Zhu Wanhong.

"It's a ghost."

After reading the letter, Zhu Hao didn't plan to go, but he knew that Zhu Wanhong must have something to discuss.

In this place of Jingshi, it is obviously not appropriate to go alone, so he called Shanglu Song, and brought more people, so he went to the agreed place.

It's a restaurant.

Not long after the hour, there was still a period of time before lunch, the restaurant was very deserted, Zhu Wanhong was wearing a thick winter coat, sitting at the window with his hands around, and he didn't know that he thought he had a problem, and it was actually a cold wind blowing in winter.

After Zhu Hao came up, Zhu Wanhong asked the guy to serve hot tea, and when the teacup came to his hand, he looked like he couldn't put it down.

Zhu Hao asked, "Uncle is so embarrassed?" ”

"Don't be embarrassed, life is very good, you are still in the hair, you are much more comfortable here than Anlu, eat well, sleep well......" Zhu Wanhong said, suddenly staring at Zhu Hao with wide eyes, "I said eldest nephew, you were born and raised in Anlu, can you still adapt to the cold of winter in the north?" ”

Zhu Hao said: "Wear a few more clothes, eat more biaozi meat, and it's no problem to resist the cold." Uncle has something to say. ”

"Hey, hey."

Zhu Wanhong looked a little embarrassed, and while pouring tea for Zhu Hao, he said, "After you arrived in Beijing, the uncle didn't ask about your situation, and I felt ashamed, you are now a lifter, and you are about to be admitted to the Jinshi...... It doesn't have to be on the list this time, and if you are admitted in the future, it will also have a bright future......"

Zhu Hao's style of listening to this speech is exactly the same as Yuan Zonggao.

Zhu Hao frowned and asked, "So Uncle just wants to ask me about my current situation?" Nothing else? ”

Zhu Wanhong continued with an old fox-like smile and said, "Virtuous nephew, now that the prince of Xingwang is in the capital, this ...... Even if it's not what you meant, it's probably what you expected, right? I know you've never mentioned it, but should you tell me, fool, what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd? Could it be that he is in the same Beijing with the prince of the world, so as to cultivate feelings?

"Uncle took the liberty of asking, when will you start and go further...... Even if you don't have a big plan, such as helping the prince ascend to the throne, you should at least do something to make the uncle feel at ease, right? ”
