Chen Li took the recital, did not dare to slack off, and quickly entered the palace to meet him.

And at this time, inside the Forbidden City.

Zhu Di was still sitting upright, and he looked at the hundred officials in the hall with a smile.

At this time, Zhu Di is like a Menghu entrenched above a hundred officials, he looks around, his eyes are like swords, whether there is a ghost in his heart or not, he can't help but tremble.

At this time, Jin Youzi saluted with an apologetic expression: "Your Majesty, the minister's brother-in-law Liu Jin, the crime is unforgivable, this is all because of the minister's improper discipline, it is really a crime that deserves death, I implore Your Majesty to punish you." ”

Every word Jin Youzi said couldn't help but make people feel sarcastic.

Zhu Di smiled ambiguously, and then said: "The Qing family played, there is a brocade guard to verify the guilt, even if the Qing family's wife and brother are guilty, it has nothing to do with the Qing family, and the Qing family doesn't have to worry." ”

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly came and said, "Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard is Chen Li, asking to see you." ”

The hundred officials in the palace have already turned the river and the sea in their hearts at this time.

In fact, they already know very well in their hearts that all this ...... It was clearly premeditated.

It depends on which person is stupid and was fished ashore by Zhu Di and Jin Youzi.

Unfortunately, this time is indeed an opportunity for many people, and even the most stable people on weekdays have the urge to refrain from it.

After all...... The officials are afraid of Zhu Di, but it doesn't mean that they are afraid of the mild-mannered Zhu Gaochi.

But now......

Zhu Di said: "Xuan." ”

Not long after, Chen Liji walked into the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty, obey Your Majesty's will to arrest the rebels, and now ...... It has achieved results, this is a confession taken by the minister from the mouth of the rebel party, and I ask Your Majesty to look at it......"

Zhu Di's gaze swept over the faces of many ministers with panicked expressions, and then he said, "Take it." ”

Chen Li sent the recital to Yishiha's hands.

It is also too busy to submit the report.

Zhu Di glanced at the report, and was quickly attracted, he subconsciously said: "Selling the official beard? ”

The four words of selling officials and lords have already made hundreds of officials tremble and sweat coldly.

Many people begin to look away, as if to observe the reaction of others.

Apparently...... In this temple...... I'm afraid that there are many people involved.

Zhu Di hooked his lips and sneered: "A county order of Zhili can be sold for 90,000 taels? What a big deal! ”

At this time, Zhu Di couldn't see anger on his face, so much so that he ...... Or...... At least in Zhang Anshi's opinion, this majesty ...... How does it feel like you're in a big breath......

"Ninety thousand taels...... A prefectural ordinance ......"

In the past, Jinyiwei had not found such a situation, but it was obviously impossible to make a county order of 90,000 taels.

After all, if you can be a county commander, at least you have to be famous.

There are only so many people in the world, and those who are willing to buy ...... That is, these people, there are few people who buy them, and if they can give two or three thousand taels, they are already considered big eucalyptus.

Don't underestimate two or three thousand taels of silver, even so, it's a huge fortune. It is enough for a solid family to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Zhu Di said with a bit of mockery: "It seems that we ...... Daming ...... There are many people who have money. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but cheer up, and couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility, that is, ...... In the counties of Zhili, the annual income is more than ten years ago, or dozens or hundreds of times that of other counties in the world, because of this...... In the eyes of some people, it feels like there is oil and water...... It's rich, don't look at the cost of 90,000 taels, but if you are in office for a few years, you will definitely be able to recover it with interest. ”

Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, "Really?" Is the oil and water so abundant? I didn't expect that. ”

Zhu Di said, looked down for a moment, and then said: "This Taiping Mansion Yin and Shaoyin also dare to sell, as well as the ambassador and deputy envoy of the Railway Division...... There are even posts for admission to government schools and schools......"

At this moment, Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be shocked.

Yang Rong couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Even Hu Guang couldn't hold back a little.

Zhu Di continued: "So many people are involved up and down...... And that's not all...... There are also those who collude with these traitors...... Liu Jin...... Jin Qingjia...... Liu Jin is your brother-in-law. ”

Jin Youzi said bitterly: "Exactly." ”

Zhu Di said: "He even sold his officials...... He packed 300 scribes and 200 military officials and 50 posts of Shuzuo, and made a price together, and gave them to one person, and taught him to sell them, and he really sold them, and he got 110,000 taels of silver......"

Jin Youzi: "......"

Jin Youzi had thought of all kinds of possibilities, but he never expected that he would be so mad.

I couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while, and my heart couldn't help but jump in horror.

Zhang Anshi also became more and more shocked the more he listened, his expression changed, and finally he couldn't help sighing.

Zhu Di looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "What is Zhang Qing sighing about?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...... Possible...... Maybe this has something to do with Qi Xia. ”

Zhu Di was puzzled, so he said, "What's the relationship?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Qixia so far, all kinds of business models, is gradually improving, many business skills, even more like a cow's hair, these means, used on the right path, can naturally benefit one party, but if these methods teach some traitors to learn, but they can also bring forth the new, so such as the packaging franchise sale...... Possible...... It was inspired by Qi Xia's business theory. ”

Zhu Di seems to have woken up, and carefully look at the many various means in it, such means of selling officials and lords are really unprecedented in history, how to attract more buyers, how to expand the 'consumer group', and then how to sell all kinds of profitable officials and posts, which are all arranged clearly and clearly.

Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If Emperor Ling and Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty learned this, why don't they just have that little money and food?" It's just that...... I'm a Ming Dynasty selling officials...... but it is a capital offense, these people ...... It's hateful. ”

Jin Youzi bowed again: "The minister is dead." ”

Zhu Di said: "Those involved in this matter, no matter who buys or sells, will be killed, in order to set an example!" All the gold and silver involved were confiscated...... Chen Qingjia...... What happened to the confiscated gold and silver? ”

Chen Li immediately said: "Your Majesty, the accounts are already there, and most of the people have been taken, so I can't run away if I want to." It's just that there are quite a few ...... Because of the short period of time, it is only an intention, and it is said that a lot of money has not been paid off...... This ......"

Zhu Di bowed his head: "I don't care about this, how much silver is said in the account, it is how much silver...... If you can't find it, torture it. That's more than 8 million taels of silver, enough to build a few railroads. ”

Chen Li said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

No matter what the officials thought in their hearts, they were all silent.

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but mourn in silence.

What does this equate to?

Equivalent to ...... Zhu Di imitated Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, sold his official beard, and sold many black gauze hats in the imperial court.

Of course, what is better than Emperor Han Ling is that Emperor Han Ling really sold the official. But Zhu Di took the silver directly in the name of righteousness, but there was no shortage of black yarn hats.

Pity those who jump up and down, in order to sell their official beards, they hollowed out their minds and scattered a lot of money, and the result is ...... All cheap imperial court.

At this time, Zhu Di said: "Jinyiwei must continue to investigate this matter, and the officials involved should also be taken down, as well as the political envoys...... Don't let it go. ”

Immediately, Zhu Di turned his gaze and looked at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi and said: "As for the vacant officials, the prince drafted a charter and submitted it to me. ”

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Erchen obeys the order. ”

Zhu Di's gaze fell on another person, and said, "Jin Qing's family has merit, but what reward do you want?" ”

He looked at Jin Youzi with a smile.

Jin Youzi said: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife died early, it is really sad, although she is dead, but there is only one brother left in the world, that is, the minister's brother-in-law Liu Jin, Liu Jin committed a heinous crime, although ten thousand deaths, but the minister hopes that His Majesty can deal with it lightly, if he can spare his life, the minister will be grateful." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Yes, this wife and brother are also close relatives, who doesn't have a wife and brother?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei in the hall, and then at Zhang Anshi, and then said, "That's the case...... Then it's pardoned, Chen Qing...... This Liu Jin had to be interrogated strictly, and when all the guilt and responsibility were clearly explained, he was released. ”

As he spoke, his face tensed, and he said unusually solemnly: "This is my extra kindness, only this once, not an example." ”

Chen Liying should be down.

Jin Youzi hurriedly thanked him.

Zhu Di said: "This eucalyptus...... The crown prince and Zhang Anshi will take the lead, and they must eliminate the evil. Especially those that threaten...... If you want to rebel, you can't keep any of them, and your family will be ......exiled."

Zhu Di paused and said: "Thorn with Xinzhou ......"

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Anshi meaningfully.

It seems to be encouraging something.

Suddenly, Zhang Anshi felt as if there was a steady stream of power pouring out of his body, like an indescribable vitality.

This seems to be Zhu Di saying: Work hard, don't miss this opportunity.

Zhang Anshi said: "Minister...... Don't share the sky with thieves! ”

Zhu Di smiled, and then brushed his sleeves: "Strike the dynasty!" And also...... Remove all these damn filial piety clothes and hats, and look at the teaching people and get sick of it. ”

When the words fell, Zhu Di drove away.

Leave the hundred officials standing in place.

Some people could no longer move, and some people sat down on the ground, so they had to be helped up by eunuchs.

Zhang Anshi was in high spirits, and led Chen Li out of the hall excitedly.

Who knows, but saw that Jin Youzi came out of the hall alone, and immediately, someone spat at Jin Youzi reluctantly.

Zhang Anshi's face tensed, and he said angrily: "Bold, insulting the minister, the crime deserves death, Chen Li, go and take the person." ”

Chen Li was about to do it.

Jin Youzi seemed to be fine, and only smiled slightly: "Your Highness...... It's just some misunderstanding, and there is no need to mobilize the people. ”

Zhang Anshi looked Jin Youzi up and down.

In fact, he is not familiar with Jin Youzi, not because Zhang Anshi doesn't like to deal with this duke, but because this person is silent and doesn't pay attention to anyone on weekdays, and even among university scholars, he is not outstanding.

Zhang Anshi said: "Jin Gong...... Later, I will transfer a few lieutenants to protect you, you go in and out on weekdays, but be careful, these thieves, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not die. ”

Jin Youzi said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "As for your brother-in-law......"

Zhang Anshi looked back at Chen Li: "How is his wife and brother, have you been beaten?" ”

"Ah...... This ......" Chen Li couldn't say it well, but he estimated in his heart that it should probably be beaten.

Zhang Anshi said: "Anyway, from now on, until he confesses honestly, he will no longer be taught to suffer any flesh and skin." ”

Jin Youzi shook his head and said, "It's good to let him suffer some flesh and skin." ”

Zhang Anshi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, it's better to learn a lesson, otherwise, there will be trouble in the future." ”

Jin Youzi nodded and said: "Tomorrow, the old man will go to Nanzhen Fusi, these days, there are some people who have written a lot of letters to the old man, some of which are ...... There are quite taboos, perhaps for Jinyiwei...... Helpful. ”

Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up a little, and said, "That's great!" ”

Jin Youzi looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile: "Your Highness must have a lot of questions in his heart." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "In fact, many things have been slowly figured out, but there is only one ...... Jin Gong...... Aren't you afraid of what you do today...... Does anyone hold a grudge? ”

At this point, Zhang Anshi was really surprised.

You must know that in all dynasties, this kind of person who does black work for the emperor is often the object of spurning. After all, Jin Youzi is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he can clearly leave a good choice for himself.

Jin Youzi lowered his eyes slightly, and pondered for a moment before saying, "If these people succeed, then...... Truly...... The old man must be spurned for eternity. But if these people can't succeed, in the future of the Ming Dynasty, the new policy can survive, and the scholars will either enter the government as officials, or do business, or follow the example of Confucian saints, learn the six arts, and do their own duties, then want to come...... What the old man did today is to help His Majesty prosper and eliminate the disadvantages. ”

He paused, and then said: "Life in the world is nothing more than a process of choosing again and again, Jin has read books for many years, and has also done some things in the court, and he knows that it is not easy to govern the country and level the world as mentioned in the book. Whether the New Deal is good or bad, it doesn't matter. But Jin knows many ills since ancient times, if he ignores them and doesn't get rid of them, then ...... What is the difference between my Ming and the tyrannical yuan? ”

"Rather than doing nothing and keeping the so-called innocence, it is better to ...... To do something, unfortunately, the old man has no strength, and the only thing he can do is to assist His Majesty...... Just get it done. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but glance at Jin Youzi deeply, with obvious admiration in his eyes, and said, "This king has been taught." ”

Because there were many people who retreated from the dynasty, it was inconvenient for Zhang Anshi to talk more, so he immediately said goodbye to Jin Youzi, took Chen Li with him, and left in a hurry.

In the duty room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the atmosphere was particularly awkward.

Xie Jin and Jin Youzi, as soon as they returned to Wenyuan Pavilion, the two immediately hid back in their duty room.

Hu Guang followed behind Yang Rong in a sloppy manner, and after entering Yang Rong's duty room, he immediately closed the doors and windows, and said with a heartfelt expression: "This Jin Gong is really despicable, why didn't I see it?" ”

Yang Rong said calmly: "If even you can see it, then ...... Your Majesty and Jin Gong made a mistake, they can't even fool Hu Gong, who else can they fool? ”

Hu Guang said with a bitter face: "Oh, if you have something to say, you can say it well, why is it always a smell of gunpowder." ”

Yang Rong said: "What I said is the truth, Hu Gong...... Don't think about it all day. ”

Hu Guangdao: "I am a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, if I don't worry about it, then what use does the court want me?" ”

"Has Duke Hu ever thought about ......" Yang Rong said: "Whether Duke Hu is worried or not, it will not affect the court situation?" ”

Hu Guang felt that he was pricked again, sighed, like a frosted eggplant, and said, "Your words are not unreasonable, Your Majesty...... The...... It's really ruthless, it's just ...... I don't think Your Majesty's move is right after all. As a monarch, he should be upright, but his current behavior is like ...... It's like ......"

After the words, Hu Guang felt evasive and did not continue.

Yang Rong sighed: "These have their own posterity. ”

Hu Guang then said: "What will future generations say? ”

Yang Rong thought for a while and said: "What future generations think, Yang may not know, but ...... The old man knows that there should be no difference between future generations and today's military and civilian people. If the Ming Dynasty can survive and the world is stable, future generations will be grateful for His Majesty's legacy today. But if it is...... The world is in turmoil, the people are not happy, and there must be descendants who can't help but miss the stability of today's Ming Dynasty. As for what His Majesty did, it was secondary. ”

Hu Guang listened, frowned, and thought about it seriously before saying, "This sentence is reasonable. ”

He paused, and began to have new questions: "So how will future generations evaluate Hu?" ”

Yang Rong glanced at him and said, "The old man has actually thought of this. ”

Hu Guang's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Yes, Yang Gong actually helped me think of this, let's talk about it." ”

Yang Rong pondered and said: "Future generations will say that Hu Gong is wise and foolish, although he does not seem to have the posture of a prime minister, but his words and deeds hide his edge, and he is good at showing stupidity to others, but he can firmly occupy the position of Zaifu, and his power is so wonderful that it is really unfathomable. ”

The look on Hu Guang's face disappeared suddenly, there was fire in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Nonsense, it's really nonsense, Hu believes in the wisdom of future generations, and will never practice the old man like this!" ”

Yang Rong saw that Hu Guang was angry, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Hu Gong, don't be angry, it's all the old man's nonsense." Okay, let's do our duty, hurry up and draw up the ticket, and then ...... It's the real mountain rain coming. ”

Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, puzzled: "The mountain rain is coming, what do you mean?" ”

Yang Rong looked at Hu Guangdao with a smile: "Duke Hu won't think it...... Your Majesty has spent so much effort, just to deter Xiaoxiao, right? Today is just the beginning, and ...... It's the main thing. ”

Hu Guang's eyes widened, and he was shocked: "What do you mean...... Going to prison? This...... This...... A lot of people will die. ”

"I'm not sure." Yang Rong shook his head and said thoughtfully: "The next thing is not the matter of Wenyuan Pavilion, it is the matter of the factory guard." ”
