Chapter 280: Three Birds with One Stone
Mao Wenwen trembled like duckweed on the surface of a lake in front of the emperor.
Zhan Xiushan's case ended up with an ending of King Huai. Although there is still a trace of clues, now that the matter involves the vassal king, it is no longer a matter for him to decide whether to investigate or not, whether to do it or not.
Yan Song had already come to report the original story, and Zhu Houzhao was also waiting for Mao Yuyu to confess to him.
"Several imperial court officials died in Zhao Prison, for this matter, there is a lot of rumors inside and outside the Jingshi, and the two cabinet elders are here to join you! A few years ago, I ordered Beizhen Fu Si to use heavy punishment, but it was not allowed to do it. Now the heavy sentence is gone, but it is directly killed!"
Zhu Houzhao smashed a few books in his hand on his head, some of the corners were very sharp, and when they hit the center, Mao Wenwen's forehead also had blood flowing down.
He knelt up straight, and kowtowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, Weichen was confused for a while and made a big mistake! Now that it is too late to repent, Weichen implores His Majesty to punish the ministers heavily, so that he can give the foreign ministers an explanation! It's better than letting them get better every day, so that Your Majesty bears the name of protecting your shorts!"
Today, Mao Wenyu's attitude is very good, and after explaining the matter, he will admit his mistakes and ask for guilt.
Zhu Houzhao was angry, but he had no intention of getting rid of Mao Yuyu in his heart, and when he came, those people were definitely not killed by him. Although he has his own careful thoughts and wants to fight Mu Bin, killing people is cutting off his own life, and Mao Yu can't do such a brainless thing.
Second, many foreign ministers took advantage of this incident to attack Mao Wenyu on a large scale, and there was even a tendency to blame Mao Wenyu for many murders over the years.
There was another purpose for this, and they wanted to get rid of him.
But in this way, the emperor has a good knife in his hand.
"Now the courtiers are indignant, and the more they drag on, the more angry they become, and more and more officials demand that the case be investigated and given an explanation to the people of the world. Don't go wrong this time."
Mao Wenyu was overjoyed, and the emperor said this to forgive him, "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace not to kill!" Please take a good look at Your Majesty this time, and Wechen will definitely live up to the Holy Grace."
Zhu Houzhao narrowed his eyes, "Who should be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, this is my business, not your business. I don't want to do it, you have to be smart, you think you can force me to do it, what do you think I am? At the meeting, the courtiers should be weak kings? I am cautious in this regard, and you have made this mistake. So you be careful."
Mao Yu was full of remorse in his heart, "The minister will definitely reflect on his mistakes and correct them seriously in the future. The minister's heart has no other thoughts than to be loyal to His Majesty!"
"The woman you raised in the house is said to be very smart, so she must have given you a lot of ideas, right?"
Mao Yu panicked, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with her, all the mistakes are the minister's fault!"
"Humph! It's not that I despise her as a woman. But don't underestimate me, underestimate the ministers of the DPRK and China. This time, I was careless, but I was pecked in the eye, right? In the future, you will calculate, remember to start from my point of view. Why is this happening this time? It's because you are selfish, I allow you to be selfish, but because of your selfishness, you have delayed the important affairs of the court! This is intolerable!"
"When you entered the palace this time, you only admitted your mistake and asked for sin, and never mentioned Mu Bin, she also taught you, didn't she? She told you that I would be angry because you framed Mu Bin for no reason, but if you confess, there might be a chance of life."
….
The emperor's words fell on his heart like a hammer, and Mao Wenwen couldn't have any other emotions except fear.
"I will give you twenty sticks in your account, and you will get them yourself when this is over. Again, look up at me."
Zhu Houzhao approached and squatted in front of him, and when he spoke again, his tone was not heavy, but his eyes were unforgiving, and he asked with a smile: "Look at me, see if I am an incompetent emperor like Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, and Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Great Song Dynasty, and see if I am like them, easily fooled by the courtiers?"
Some people want to say good things to win over, like this kind of dishonest, in fact, they should also give them some color to see, otherwise they think that they have become the emperor's henchmen, and they are so arrogant that they seem to belong to him the best in the world.
Mao Wen's mind was all said, and he was already frightened!
When I got home, I was a soul
He who does not keep his house.
Xu Xueyun was actually a little happy to see him, probably because she felt that her calculation had succeeded, and the emperor still didn't treat her master after all, but Mao Wen's dejected appearance made her extremely worried.
"Master, what did Your Majesty say?"
Mao Wenwen actually wanted to be angry with Xu Xueyun in his heart, if it weren't for her, there would not have been this. But Xu Xueyun was also thinking about him, so he still endured it.
He sighed and said, "Your Majesty has guessed what you said to me."
"Guessed?"
"It's you who made me only admit my mistake and ask for sin, and didn't mention Mu Bin in half a sentence."
Xu Xueyun's mouth opened wide in shock, "Your Majesty actually guessed?"
Why didn't she mention it in the first place? Because she knew that the emperor was smart, and these people definitely didn't need to be explained by Mao Wen, so why mention it? Wouldn't it be better to let the emperor himself doubt and guess who did it?
"Your Majesty also asked me to see if he was an emperor like Liu Chan and Zhao Ji who could be fooled......
Xu Xueyun was originally squatting, but she couldn't help but stand up at this time. In this encounter, she met two people, one was Mu Bin, and the other was the emperor. In the past, she felt that she was a little smart, and sometimes she would ignore some people.
But when I really went to the court, I found out that the emperor was only fifteen years old, and his scheming was unfathomable.
When you encounter such a powerful emperor, you can't be negligent in the future.
"Master, it's all the concubine's fault this time, fortunately...... I can save a life."
Mao Wenyu was also a little afraid, "Your Majesty asked those questions, did you kill me?"
Xu Xueyun has always been the head of the way, but this question suddenly didn't know how to answer, did the emperor have a killing machine? It seems that whether there is or is not, there is some under-founded taste.
It is still difficult to fathom the divine will.
……
……
Zhu Houzhao actually didn't expect that Mao Wenyu would make such an ugly thing by himself, giving others a chance to take advantage of, although he accidentally hit and caused a murder and caused the court to shake up and down.
But the good results do not mask the problem of motivation.
But in hindsight, it's normal. A person born in a cell boss, who does not have much cultural background, suddenly ascended to a high position, to say that he did not make any mistakes, this is a report card that Guo Ziyi and Zeng Guofan can hand in.
….
Mao's language is far behind.
So Zhu Houzhao didn't bother too much, but this Mu Bin turned out to have hidden this thought.
In addition, Jinyiwei should also be rectified.
All along, he, the emperor, has done one thing to Jinyiwei - inserted Mao Wen.
Of course, Mao Yu himself also brought many people, which is normal, so let's not mention it for the time being.
In addition, what happened to Jin Yiwei, in fact, he didn't care.
Mao Wen's mistake this time also gave him an opportunity and a reason. What he did in the past still seemed that he, the emperor, was unkind and unjust.
Now, sparing him from death is already a great grace, what if there is any action?
"Xuan Yang Tinghe entered the palace." Zhu Houzhao silently instructed the people around him.
"Yes."
Yang Tinghe did not go to the Qianqing Palace, because the emperor was not there, he was the emperor who found him by the lake.
Because the emperor is learning swordsmanship here, let's not mention killing people for the time being, at least strengthen the body.
"Weichen Yang Tinghe, see Your Majesty."
"Flat."
Zhu Houzhao wiped his sweat, and directly explained his intention to Yang Ting and him, "I remember that when you were the prefect of Qingzhou, there was a prefect under your hand, what is it called?"
Yang Tinghe was stunned, how could the emperor suddenly mention such a person.
"Back to Your Majesty, there is such a person named Han Ziren."
"I remember that he was born as a literati, but he did things with a bit of the roughness of a martial artist, where is he now
?」
Yang Tinghe honestly explained, "Han Ziren has joined the Shangzhi Guard, and he has already reached a hundred households in Zhenwuwei."
100 households, that's not a petty official.
Above a hundred households is a thousand households, and above a thousand households is a guard commander. The commander of each guard can leave an impression in the emperor's heart.
"What is this person's heart?"
Yang Tinghe said, "Resolute and daring to do things. It is...... People are frivolous."
"Find a chance, you can bring it."
"Yes."
Zhu Houzhao brewed an idea. The idea stemmed from his unfamiliarity with Jinyiwei.
This strangeness refers to the complexity of the institutions inside, and the management doesn't seem to be understood by him. Because Jinyiwei itself was the first to be obtained by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't have a ready-made template for him to cover, probably crossing the river by feeling the stones, so it became more and more complicated to mend the seams. Later, Zhu Di changed it again, and it became more complicated.
By this time of Zhu Houzhao, Jinyiwei had dozens of thousands of households under his jurisdiction, and there were ten divisions under each of the thousands of households, who were responsible for relying on and guarding, in addition, there were also the Suppression Division and the Experience Division.
The concept of the Experience Division is similar to that of the chamberlain, which is in charge of the exchange of paperwork. As for the Zhenfu Division, it is divided into the South Town Fusi and the North Town Fusi.
Beijing Jinyiwei has both, and Nanjing Jinyiwei only has the South Town Fusi and not the North Town Fusi......
In short, it's a mess.
And there are various functional institutes in it, such as Tuntian, there are Tuntian; There is an elephant training institute.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't stand it, Jinyiwei was a personal guard who was directly responsible to the emperor, how could he, the emperor, not understand what the hundreds of thousands of people were doing?
Therefore, he wants to reorganize the Jinyi Guard, according to the function of the division, divided into guard guard of honor, patrol and arrest, military intelligence spying, etc., each part by a Tongzhi (second-in-command) in charge, and to the number one commander is responsible, if the follow-up needs to increase the function, that is, on the basis of the quantitative change, the structure is still unchanged.
….
In this way, it will be much clearer.
Needless to say, Mao Yu still needs to use him for inspections and arrests.
But when the commander of Jinyiwei makes only one candidate, it is always bad, then it is not called a candidate, and if it is called a candidate, it is also a vain election, because there is no election. That's why I considered summoning Yang Tinghe today.
Moreover, there are so many people in the court who impeach Mao Yuyu, of course the emperor can forcibly protect it, but he can also pull another scholar out, Han Ziren is a person in the end, not as cruel as Mao Yuyu, and pushing it to the foreground can allow those who don't like Mao Yuyu to win him over.
Therefore, the reorganization of Jinyiwei and the warning of Mao Yuyu also protected him in disguise, plus responded to the situation in the imperial court...... In fact, it is enough to have only one Han Ziren who is a scholar.
After thinking about it carefully, I think it can be roughly like this. This kind of thing is not very big, Zhu Hou can take care of it.
As for what is really important, it is the situation of King Huai.
The so-called killing and extinguishing of the mouth works in many cases, for example, Mao language was suspicious of the emperor because of this, the court was in turmoil, and the matter would be abandoned halfway under the turmoil, but Zhu Houzhao was not.
He had already ordered that if Zhan Xiushan didn't confess, he would serve Jiangxi Zhan's in one pot, what this and that, saying that you have a problem is a problem.
Now, everyone should be almost in Jiangxi. The whole family was arrested, couldn't they still ask a few words about the situation of King Huai?
