Chapter 330: The Adversary and the Enchantress
Commander Xie was immediately dumbfounded when he looked at the holy decree unfolding in Sun Cheng's hand.
Deputy Envoy Song on the wall was also dumbfounded.
They didn't know there was this!
Of course, in fact, this batch of graduates of Wutaishan University has this thing.
This is not what Yang Feng asked them for, but the Queen Mother's reward, these graduates are Zhu Yunxi's hard work, from admission to study to internship, he personally grasped it, so in the Queen Mother's opinion, these students are naturally loyal to her and the empress. She also needs her own cronies now, this kind of capable and loyal to her mother can be said to be the most perfect choice, so in order to show her feelings for the first emperor, she will reward each of the five hundred protégés of the first emperor with such a holy decree.
The next batch of graduates will be returned.
All the students recruited by Zhu Yunxi when he was alive had such a holy decree after graduation, including those elementary school students on Wutai Mountain, as long as they can graduate from college, they will also have such a holy decree, which means that there will be more than 5,000 such in the future.
Of course, this is not to give them the privilege of exoneration.
If they have committed a crime, how should they be interrogated, how should they be convicted, and this is not an iron coupon, it cannot exonerate them, but no matter what level of law enforcement agency wants to arrest them, they must first perform a performance, and only after obtaining the permission of the Holy Decree can they be arrested, interrogated, and convicted in the next step. Because they are the protégés of the first emperor, this master and apprentice are like father and son, they are equivalent to the godson of the first emperor, and the queen mother is of course equivalent to their godmother.
No matter what crime they commit, they have to talk to the Queen Mother, right?
Very reasonable.
It's just that the Queen Mother didn't expect that this thing blocked the way for local officials to deal with them within the rules.
You can't catch it directly.
There must be a holy decree.
It is said that the main reason for the little prince is to be able to make such a holy decree, then it is a hell!
It's simply impossible to solve them within the rules.
There was an eerie silence.
Sun Cheng raised the holy decree in his hand somewhat proudly.
"Commander Xie, the small one is indeed a humble official, but after all, the duty lies, no matter who does not have a holy decree, he can't arrest Li Tuiguan, if he has to resist the decree, then the small one can only do his duty."
He said.
Then the short gun in his hand pointed at Xie Yuan.
And the other brocade guards on both sides of him also pointed their guns at Xie Yuan.
The latter immediately came to his senses, and turned his head to look at Deputy Envoy Song hatefully, he was trapped, although he was indeed damaged by Li Xin's interests in dividing the land among the gentry, but this was only a little benefit after all, and it was not worth taking a future for this. Now the best option is to stop the loss in time, he immediately waved to his subordinate soldiers, and those guards who didn't want to fight quickly put away their weapons, and then hurriedly evacuated with Commander Xie, who turned his horse's head. And the deputy envoy Song on the wall watched them go away without tears in tears, and then turned his head to look at Li Xin who was drinking tea below, who sat there leisurely and watched him......
"Deputy Envoy Song, don't you want to come down and talk to me about what the hell is going on here?
I'm still confused!
Those people are fugitives who have been wanted by the Xiangyang Prefecture, why were they not only not arrested but became plaintiffs when they arrived in Wuchang, and why did the Sentencing Inspectorate disregard the facts and convict me on their false accusations?
What's going on here?
Who did what from it?
Don't you want to talk about it? ”
Li Xin said.
Deputy Envoy Song stood there awkwardly.
But then he came to his senses.
"Li Tuiguan, old and decrepit, is just a man."
He said with a smile on his face.
"Then you have to talk about it more carefully.
You can rest assured, Xiaguan is not the kind of person who is ignorant, I know that you are a person who acts on orders, Xiaguan's ancestral home is Shandong, and we are also fellow villagers. ”
Li Xin said.
……
Five days later.
Imperial Palace Wuying Hall.
This is now the office of the little princess.
After all, the Qianqing Palace is where the Queen Mother lives, and the Daqing Hall belongs to the place of the court, and it is generally not necessary to be there for the grand court meeting or ceremonial activities, but there must be a place for daily office, and everything can not be sent to the embassy in Wutai Mountain, right?
What does that look like?
How could the embassy of the Great Xia Kingdom be the place where the Ming Dynasty ruled to handle government affairs?
Where is the system?
In the end, Wuying Hall became an ideal choice, anyway, it was not far from the Daqing Palace, and it was not a few steps to the Qianqing Palace, and it was more convenient for the little princess to enter and exit Xihua Gate. Including her current official title, it has also become a ruling party, the empress is young, and the queen mother is in charge of the country, but the queen mother wants to take care of the empress, so she entrusts the eldest princess Hanshan to govern.
In the future, the title of the little princess does not need to be as long as the eldest princess of Hanshan, just use the title of the ruling princess.
Of course, this is not an official position.
The official positions of the Ming Dynasty are still those, not to add a ruling party.
That's what it's called.
It just so happens that she is also a woman, and there is nothing inconvenient, that is, she can enter and exit the palace at night, including the Qianqing Palace where the Queen Mother lives, and she also got a bunch of female officials as subordinates. And the court is connected with her is a scholar of Wuyingdian, of course, Zhang Xianzong, and he can also be honored as the first assistant.
He received the ruling order here, and then went back to the cabinet to discuss more details with the other scholars.
The government affairs of the imperial court are more like the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the cabinet drafts the decree, the celebrant superintendent issues the holy decree, the six departments are reviewed, and the six departments are handled, but unlike the late Ming Dynasty, the current cabinet is purely a tool person, and the specific affairs are discussed and decided in the Wuying Palace. The main discussants Yang Feng, the little princess, and Sister Liu were like an oligarchic meeting, and the participants in the discussion were Zhang Xianzong, Zhang Ying, and Chun Ji, so Zhang Shoufu and Ambassador Yang's concubine were at the same level, and then Zhang Shoufu went back to draft the purpose. There is no such thing as the cabinet refusing to draft an order, after all, this work is for them to do, just to form rules, but the little princess herself is not unable to write. As for the six subjects, it is honestly a decoration to see if there are any grammatical errors, typos, etc., and there is only one subject left in the six subjects.
In short, all systems are like the late Ming Dynasty, that is, the monarch above his head really has the final say.
Ambassador Yang is very satisfied with this system.
Originally, this system was already the most perfect in the classical era.
It doesn't get much better than it.
British Cabinet?
The early power of the British cabinet is not as big as the Ming cabinet of the same era!
The collapse of the Ming Dynasty was not a problem of the cabinet system.
On the contrary, their cabinet system is still the most likely to evolve to the modern cabinet system, the cabinet chief assistant in the late Ming Dynasty has been the court push, although it is still the emperor's decision, but at the same time the United Kingdom is also the king's decision, it is said that Charles I was guillotined when Chongzhen hung himself for five years.
It's just that the evolutionary process has been interrupted, and it will become an ornament in our Qing cabinet.
Later, the Military Aircraft Department picked it up again.
But the Military Aircraft Department did not have the power to restrain the emperor at all.
It's essentially a step backwards.
So now Yang Feng wants to accelerate the cabinet.
"So they're going to join forces?"
Ambassador Yang looked at the secret report sent by Li Xin.
He's in power behind him, and maybe he was overworked last night......
Overwork.
The eldest princess of Hanshan is an unmarried girl, and she is very tired of worrying about the Ming Dynasty.
In order to atone the merits, the deputy envoy of Song unreservedly confessed the whole incident, including Zheng Ci was sold by him, Hu Guangcheng announced the political envoy department, and the criminal envoy department was sentenced to the prosecutor's department, and they all commanded the envoy department, and the three systems of the political and legal army united to try to strangle the local officials sent by the imperial court. According to their plan, Li Xin would be thrown directly into prison after being caught in Wuchang, and at the same time, Song Xing would take over Xiangyang as a sub-patrol under Jingnan Dao, and then redress the unjust case and release all the gentry who were arrested by Li Xin.
As for the imperial court, if an order is issued to release Li Xin, then he will be directly killed in prison.
Can't let him live anyway.
Punish someone as a warning to others.
Tell the new students who will be sent to the local area in the future to be honest.
Yang Feng really can't be killed, but they can't be killed, don't be ignorant and take your life, as long as you deter these people and buy them with some money, they will slowly be pulled into the water.
Very smart.
But......
"It's all dismissed!"
Yang Feng said.
"What charges?"
Zhang Xianzong said in astonishment.
"Forming a party, the three local divisions colluded to frame a government magistrate, what is this not a party?"
Yang Feng said.
"What about the evidence?"
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Isn't Song Xing's confession conclusive enough?"
Yang Feng said.
"Song Xing is just a one-sided statement, but who can prove that Xue Peng found it? Who can prove that Huang Xin ordered him to be arrested because he was entrusted by Xue Peng? What's more, who can prove that Li Zhigang really participated? There has to be proof, right? Song Xing can't say yes, not to mention that Song Xing is not present, he is just speculating on his own. ”
Zhang Xianzong said.
Indeed, in theory this is just Song Xing's speculation.
Although he knew everything, the problem was that he didn't participate, he just knew, and it was obvious that this could not be used as a basis, and those complainants went to complain, and the sentence was taken by the prosecutor and the envoy, and the text asked Li Xin to go to Wuchang, but Li Xin didn't go, of course he had to send someone to arrest him.
Huang Xin is right.
As for Xue Peng and Li Zhigang, they have nothing to do with the case at all.
"When Emperor Taizu Gao, did you ever ask for these?"
The ruling said dissatisfiedly.
"Well, Emperor Taizu Gao at least has to examine the case."
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Then arrest me first, and then send it to the edict prison for interrogation, I don't believe that I have entered the edict prison, what else do they refuse to recruit!"
The ruling tyrant waved his hand with a full temperament.
"Princess, I think it's better to be dismissed directly!"
Zhang Xianzong said gloomily.
Therefore, sooner or later, these three people will have to be dismissed, and instead of letting them go to the edict prison and be severely beaten and then dismissed, it is better to simply dismiss them and let them suffer less.
"Then I will leave this decree to you to write."
The little princess said.
Zhang Xianzong became even more depressed.
So he still has to make this obviously unreasonable holy decree reasonable for her, but he has been scolded as a traitor all these years, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take off this hat in the future.
"By the way, why did Song Xing rebel so simply?"
Yang Feng said suddenly.
Deputy Envoy Song's defection was very fast!
"Ambassador, if you say this, it will make him feel too cold, he is a native of Dezhou, Shandong, and there is no shortage of land in the north, and he comes from a humble background, and he is not a wealthy family. By the way, after he called himself Song Taizu, he said that his ancestor was spared in the battle of Yashan, and then fled to the north to take Song as his surname, and he remained incognito during the Hu Yuan period. He doesn't have much land, it's not worth fighting for this, this time it should just be because of his duty as a sub-patrol of Jingnan Road. ”
Zhang Xianzong said.
"Then this is also after Zhongyi, promote him to be the governor of Huguang!"
Yang Feng said.
"Yes, this kind of person has betrayed the gentry, and he is still a northerner, so he doesn't have to worry about the southern gentry going to dig his ancestral grave, he will let go of his hands and feet to do things, let him be the governor of Huguang, he has been a deputy envoy in Huguang and is familiar with the place, don't worry about the chaos of Huguang's local government affairs."
The little princess said immediately.
Zhang Shoufu looked at the pair of male and female who had known each other for many years gloomily, and he found that these two had become worse and worse, in the past, they were just a barbaric and a barbaric, but now they have the taste of a demon and a demon girl. I have to say that Zhu Yunxi killed his younger brother, but it can be regarded as making the gentry of the world miserable, Zhu Yunxi is only gradually reforming at most during his life, and even has to consider the feelings of the gentry, maybe the reform is only limited. This is inevitable, Zhu Yunxi never thought of really forcing the gentry of the world to a dead end, what he wanted was for the gentry to cooperate with him and reform the Ming Dynasty according to his design, but now with these two, it is no longer a reform at all, it is to force the gentry to a dead end, and he will not stop if he does not play the gentry to death.
It can be said that Zhu Yunxi's death made these two finally let themselves go.
Of course, it has nothing to do with him.
He's not a wealthy family, he's just raised by a straw shoe.
And this has little to do with the Fujian gentry behind him.
There are no big landlords in Fujian.
There is no way to form a big landlord in that place, where can I find tens of thousands of acres of land for one person?
As long as Ambassador Yang encourages industry and commerce, the Fujian gentry will not fight over the land issue, and in fact the Fujian gentry are now responding to Ambassador Yang's call to cross the strait to develop an island where there are plains that can be cultivated.
Moreover, the King of Liao has already begun to build his royal palace on the island, and it is estimated that he will be able to move there next year at most.
The only problem is that there are natives on the island......
Well, this is not a problem for the King of Liao, after all, with the full support of his sister, his guards have all begun to change flintlock pistols.
"Will they resist? After all, we're already in our true form, so they can't really sit still, right? This is not just a matter of these three people, but all the civil officials, and even some military generals have to face together, we have made it clear that we will not give them a chance, this dog is in a hurry and jumps the wall, so they are not without the power to resist, they can't really just stretch their necks and wait for our knives to fall, right? ”
Looking at Zhang Xianzong who was leaving, the little princess suddenly came to her senses, and said on Yang Feng's shoulder.
Indeed, they are all in their true form.
If the behavior of Huang Xin and the others was only because they guessed Yang Feng's purpose, so they had to take action, then with this obviously tyrannical way of dealing with it, directly dismissing them from their posts would have been recognized......
We are going to kill the land gentry.
We are to divide the land.
We don't even pretend to be pretended.
"Then let's see if they have the skills."
Yang Feng sneered.
The little princess next to her smiled very enchantingly, as if the legendary Daji was possessed.
