After hearing this, Mu Bin was a little confused, this order was unheard of for him.

"Your Highness, this matter is indeed not difficult...... However, there are many yamen in the capital, if they are sealed at the same time. I'm afraid there won't be enough manpower."

"Then summon Zhang Yong and ask him to bring some people, and he must do what I said, no one is allowed to enter or anyone to come out!"

Mu Bin was helpless and withdrew after receiving the will.

In fact, what they don't know is the history of the Eight Classics...... Liu Jin, the powerful eunuch during the Zhengde period, did this kind of thing, and he stipulated that officials should go to work at Yin time (3 a.m. to 5 a.m.) and leave work at Youshi time (5 p.m. to 7 p.m.).

In history, Liu Jin is actually like us ordinary people, that is, he does good things and bad things. He once had the idea that after gaining power, he would make the country better, for example, he had checked the military camp, but his methods were relatively rough, he was corrupt, he was not smart enough, and he was also taken advantage of, and finally he was accused of rebellion.

Perhaps the history we read is all one-sided, and there are only a few records left by so many people in one era, either the glare of brilliance, or the naughtiness of filth. But most people don't leave their names in history, and they are just like us ordinary people, going to work and getting money to get by. If the leader is strict, then be honest, and if the leader is loose, then follow the big fire to engage in 'eating, drinking, and taking, that set.'

There are not so many extreme bad guys, and there are not so pure good guys, but now the political correctness is very extreme, as if to build a cage to fit the emperor into.

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao wants to seize this opportunity, he does not want the lives of Ming officials, he wants their names.

Li Dongyang couldn't say anything after he gave the prince a stern drink, anyway, the cabinet was all there. However, Han Wen was a little uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, he still took the initiative to plead guilty and said, "Your Highness, there are also officials in the household department who have not been on duty today......

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand, "The palace is not open today, don't worry, the officials of the household department will not move any of the palace...... The prince of this palace doesn't dare to say that his head is cantilevered and his head is pierced, but he can be regarded as diligent in governing the dynasty, right? There are also those of you who have neglected the palace, saying that they are working hard and diligent in political affairs, and all officials will feel their virtue. Today, let's take a look at whether the officials feel this virtue. As for whether to lose the face of the court, hey, it's simple. Whoever disgraces the court, the palace will disgrace him!"

But he said that the other Mu Bin didn't dare to be careless, and after he went back, he would disperse all the people who were still in Beijing.

But if the prince wants to do this, who has the means? It's been seventeen years since Hongzhi, who doesn't know the prince's temper, once he starts to be true, no one should annoy him at this time.

So, let's make trouble.

Not long after, dozens of Jinyi guards along the way began to appear in front of the yamen, and the officials who saw Jinyi Wei at the beginning turned pale with fright: What did you do again? Recruit these killing gods to these places!

"According to the will of the crown prince, the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment will be sealed immediately, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!"

Min Jue's subordinates hurriedly came to report, "Great Priest! Oh no, Jinyiwei is here!"

"Jin Yiwei?" Min Jue put down his pen and came out from behind the book, he stretched out his head to look at the movement outside, "Do you know who is doing the trouble?" ….

"I don't know, wow, I want to seal the yamen!"

"Seal the yamen?" Min Jue lost his temper, "The yamen of the Criminal Department is also sealed by them? Let's go, come with me and take a look outside."

Speaking of which, he is also a short-tempered person.

Seeing that there was really a team of brocade guards in front of the yamen, Min Jue grabbed the leading Qianhu and scolded: "The Criminal Department is one of the six departments of the imperial court, and this official is a second-class member of the imperial court, for no reason, you say that it will be sealed, aren't you afraid that this official will join you in front of the prince and His Majesty?!"

Min Jue's official position is indeed not low.

The thousand households of this brocade guard only bowed their heads, "The Great Si Kou Mo wants to be angry. If there is any doubt, the Grand Priest can enter the palace after a while to unseal it and confirm it to His Highness."

By order of His Highness?

"How could Your Highness make such a will?"

This rhetorical question is very inappropriate, thousand

Lord Hu was actually disdainful in his heart, and said respectfully on the surface: "Although the Grand Priest is a second-class member of the imperial court, it is better not to say this kind of thing. Let the people who have a heart listen to it, and stab it in the ears of His Highness, and the great priest will not be able to get better."

Min Jue was generalized, stretched out his hand and pointed angrily, "This official will go back and write the reference book!"

This brocade-clothed guard Qianhu couldn't care so much, and said to the people behind him, "Eyes widen a little, this is His Highness's will, let one go, we can't eat and walk around!"

It seems that this scene soon made the yamen in Beijing chaotic.

The main thing really didn't expect the crown prince to make such a will.

However, this is also the arrogance of the Jinyi guards below, like the officials who went to Mu Bin in person, it was better, he explained to Wang Wei: "Your Highness is only here today, not to arrest people, don't be alarmed, as long as the personnel don't go in and out, everything else is normal." I have to report the list of officials who are not on duty for no reason today."

Although Wang Wei didn't understand what he was doing, he had gotten used to following the prince over the years, and the prince ...... I haven't done a few ordinary things.

At the same time, in a place where the fence was ticked, an official with a mustache was woken up by the little guy from the house, "Master, it's not good! Jingli is now in chaos, saying that all the Jinyi guards are out to seal the yamen everywhere! The little one inquired, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was ordering!"

"Dot?! Isn't that sir, just in my absence?! Oh, it's over, hurry, get ready!"

This official is middle-aged, and the big black mole on his chin is the most impressive, his name is Lu Shumao, and it is the patrol sent to Shandong this time.

Originally, after returning to Beijing, he was also ready to report, but the affairs of Zhejiang attracted the attention of most people in the court, including His Royal Highness.

So it dragged on for nearly ten days, so that he had to think that the prince had ignored the matter.

The patrol is a supervisor, this time to supervise, more or less scrape a little oil and water, kicked the silver on his body and endured it for a few days, today is no longer endured, I didn't expect my life to be bad, encountered this file.

It's not good if the horse is ready, and no official will wear an official robe to drink flower wine, but fortunately, someone is clever and gets him a carriage. Lu Shumao lifted it and saw that the official uniform was there, and he couldn't help but praise him for his cleverness, "Master, I have passed this level, and I will reward you when I turn around!" ….

"Hey!" When the next person heard that there was a reward, he worked harder, "The old man is a good man, and he has made great contributions in Shandong, and this time he will definitely pass the test safely!"

Then he came back and gave him his reward.

So Lu Shumao was in a hurry, changing clothes, no matter what etiquette, just on the street, hiding in the carriage to change clothes, but the carriage was too fast, and suddenly 'bang' at an intersection and collided with another carriage!

You're not alone!

Now it's okay, make a car and turn it over. After the carriage overturned, Lu Shumao couldn't get well inside, but he was frightened by the groom, and he didn't care about his broken cheeks, so he hurriedly went to the back to find someone, "Master, master?!"

This accident is not big or small, but there is no airbag or anything like that these days, poor Lu Shumao's head hit the wood in it, and the person actually fainted!

The groom was worried that he would be involved in the lives of the court officials, so he dragged people out without caring about anything, it didn't matter, Lu Shumao's clothes hadn't been changed yet!

……

……

Syllable!

Zhu Houzhao slammed the song in his hand to the ground, "This is my imperial history of the Ming Dynasty!" also said that he would take care of the face of the court! If the court is full of these officials, in the hearts of the people, what face does the court have?! I'm afraid they've already lost it!"

"Your Highness is angry!"

The crown prince suddenly became angry, and all the officials were silent.

At this time, there are not only those people before, but the top leaders of the cabinet, six ministries and nine divisions are all there.

Zhang Fuhua, who had just taken over Dai Shan as the imperial history of the Inspectorate, took the initiative to plead guilty, "Lu Shumao is the imperial history of the Inspectorate, and it is indisputable that the ministers are not doing their duty, please ask Your Highness to punish the crime!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to talk about this,

Just frowned and asked, "Mu Bin, how many people are there this time?"

"Your Royal Highness, a total of 108 officials, including Lu Shumao, have been found."

"Heh, I've got 108 generals! This is only Beijing officials, how many local officials in the two capitals and 13 provinces of the Ming Dynasty should be on duty but should not be on duty? On weekdays, I know to hand over the palace to the palace, either to ask the palace for money, or to ask the palace for free money, a mouth to say that the state affairs are difficult, there is such a group of officials who lie in bed every day and wait for the need, can I be in the Ming Dynasty is not difficult! It's ridiculous! Has the envoy arrived?"

The Department of General Administration is responsible for sending and receiving the affairs of the department, and it is their job to send and receive the orders of the emperor, to communicate the situation, to investigate and coordinate the official documents, and to report to the subjects of the Quartet.

Although this department has been somewhat marginalized in practice, it still has a role to copy.

"Ministers and Sun Tingyuan, listen to His Highness's will!"

"This palace remembers that the minister's performance and the general envoy have been kept, you go back and tell your subordinates that you are ready not to go home for the next few days. Isn't there a list of 108 people on Mu Bin's side? You go back and look for them one by one, find out all the music of these people to the main palace, see what they say, and then see how they do it! This palace is not afraid of losing face, and sometimes you have to take it out and bask in the sun!"

"Jang Narita!"

This is Zhang Tianrui's second son, who has been managing "Ming Pao" for the past few years, has no grade, is not an official body, but "Ming Pao" belongs to the mouthpiece of the East Palace, and has always acted at the behest of the East Palace. ….

"The grass people are here!"

"Don't sleep tonight! Tomorrow's "Ming Pao" will be revised, and this list will be printed on this palace, and if you make a mistake, this palace will want your head!"

Now in this East Palace, important members such as cabinet ministers are honestly kneeling, Zhang Chengtian still has something to say, his little shoulders can't bear anything, so he can only work hard.

But the prince's will is not over yet, "In addition, the general political envoy will find out at least three people tonight and communicate well with Zhang Chengtian's side. Zhang Chengtian, in addition to the list of 108 people tomorrow, you will also pick out a person to report in detail, pick out some of his words as they are, and let the people in the capital watch a good show! 108 people! One day is not enough for this year's New Year! Okay, let's have fun with the people once and play a good joke for the people!"

The prince said something heavy, and if he did what he said, he would lose the face of the court.

Liu Jian is the head of the cabinet, and at this time he has to have something to say, and after making up his mind in his heart, he does not hurry and says word by word: "Your Highness must not be impulsive. It is naturally wrong for these officials to be inappropriately valued for no reason, but the imperial court has not had a precedent before, so such a sudden investigation is naturally unprepared. Moreover, if His Highness is angry and sends down a decree to reprimand them, and tells them to correct them, it seems that this kind of mobilization of teachers and people will make the city full of storms, and it will inevitably be some unteachable. And in this way, the mouth of the people and the mouth of the history books will not escape, and after thousands of generations, when future generations mention the winter of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, there is nothing good to say."

"Punish without teaching? Lead the court's servants to be on duty in the yamen, do you have to teach this kind of thing? Is it the prince's religion in this palace, or is it you, the head of the cabinet?!" Zhu Houzhao scolded him like this, and then directly ordered Sun and Zhang to expel the guests, "Sun Tingyuan, Zhang Chengtian, what are you still kneeling for? Do you think one night is more than enough time to do these things?"

Where, it is estimated that I will have to be busy until the sun rises tomorrow.

"The ministers (grass people) are retired!"

Zhu Houzhao squinted and glanced at Liu Jian, "Liu Ge should get old." These ugliness, this palace is not afraid to be exposed, what are you afraid of? Also, there are some things that this palace will make clear to you. The face of the imperial court and the holiness of this palace are not in the Forbidden City where the palace lives, nor are they in your splendid articles! And in the hearts of the people! I only know how to talk about benevolence and morality with this palace all day long, but I don't have actual actions to guard the hearts of the people, which will make future generations see jokes! Only when the people of the world can be rich and healthy, will they turn their hearts to the court, cover up the ugliness of the court, and hide it from the people, which will save the face of the court?"

"You are all teachers of this palace, all of you

They are all bachelors who know dozens of great truths, and today's matter, is it to teach this palace how to deceive itself?!"
