Liu Jin is very busy.

Zhu Houzhao was not idle, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace despite the cold winter wind, and sat before the noon gate.

Between the two columns of eunuchs was Mao Yu, who had been stripped of his shirt and kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty......" The eunuch came to ask for instructions on whether the execution could be carried out.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, one hand on the edge of the chair, the whole person sat slightly reclined, and waved the other hand.

"Yes!"

Then there was a 'bang', and the sound was solid.

And Mao Wenyu just snorted, stiffly and didn't scream.

Then the stick rose and fell, and continued to 'bang, bang, bang'.

As a result, the green tendons on Mao Wen's neck and head became more and more obvious, and his face became red. But he was in strong shape, and he was desperate not to fall, even if he ended up with blood on the stick.

These twenty military sticks were requested by himself.

And Zhu Houzhao sat here, that is, he took the initiative to ask for this punishment.

Looking at the blood gradually left on the stick, Zhu Houzhao said: "Language, this matter has nothing to do with you, but you have been punished by this, are you a little dissatisfied in your heart?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, no!"

"Really?"

"Never. The most important thing that Jinyi Wei Xuezheng committed was only twenty military sticks, and it was already His Majesty's special kindness."

"Put on your clothes."

Mao Yuyu didn't move, no matter how cold he was, he didn't move, it was the eunuch on the side who set it for him.

"Go to the Tai Hospital again to grab some medicine, don't leave dark wounds."

Mao Wen's head knocked on the ground, "Thank you for your majesty's kindness in giving medicine." ”

The emperor got up and walked back to the palace in the wind.

He didn't want to punish a confidant like this in the winter, but some mistakes can be forgiven, and some mistakes can't.

Mistakes that cannot be made, only after they are made have consequences, next time these people will not lose their lives because of this.

If the kindness of the woman at this time conveys the wrong message, and finally leads to serious consequences, then at that time, it will be a tearful slaughter.

Mao Yuyu's body is also considered strong, and it stands to reason that he has to rest after being beaten like this.

But he didn't.

After briefly cleaning the wound and applying medicine, he summoned the three thousand households, the six deputy thousand households, and all the hundred households in Beijing in charge of the criminal office, the public security office, and the special office in the Fusi of Beizhen.

The main school officials of the North Division, who have changed color in the outside world, are all from here.

In order to wait for these people, Mao Yu spent all the time until the evening.

And even at night, no one is allowed to go, with torches and freezing wind, and this matter must be solved today!

Wei Xuezheng has been tied up by five flowers and knelt in front of the hall.

Mao Wenwen's face looked extremely indifferent under the cover of the jumping firelight.

"The Jinyi Guards belong to the 26 guards of the Shangzhi Army, and they are even more different from the other 25 guards. The envoy has spoken to you since the first day you walked here. But some people still can't listen! You tell the envoy, what is the Jinyi Guard?! ”

"Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven!"

"The pro-army of the Son of Heaven wants to bully the king! Don't say that Your Majesty can't tolerate you, even my Mao language can't tolerate you! Get the knife! ”

Wei Xuezheng was already so frightened that his face turned pale.

But things have come to this point, and it's useless to say anything.

A knife fell, and a column of blood gushed out!

And Mao Wenwen didn't look at it, he turned his back and turned his head with only one side face, "Beisi is under me, and if there are bullies, they will all be beheaded!" ”

"Yes!"

Instant roar thundered.

With a bang, Mao Wenwen threw the blood-stained knife on the ground.

"After you go back, you will check the members of the various ministries to which you belong, and Your Majesty will only look for me if you find a Wei Xuezheng. And I found a Wei Xuezheng, and I can only look for you. ”

Wei Xuezheng was transferred to the Security Station of the Sleepless City of Weibei Town, Jinyi.

So......

There are some things that don't need to be said.

There are 1,000 households in the security station, and the two deputy 1,000 households all consciously stepped forward.

"Forty sticks each!"

This is how the effectiveness of the management hierarchy increases.

Otherwise, the people above shouted loudly, but the order could not be given, what is the difference between this kind of imperial power and the empty one.

But layer by layer, it will make the grassroots environment of Jinyiwei very harsh.

But this is Jinyiwei, and all the things involved are military affairs, and they can't be child's play.

After daybreak,

The official office of the household department, a guest from the criminal department came,

Min Jue slapped the table and said angrily: "Liu Jin is sitting in a sedan chair with eight lifts, and he is in Langlang Qiankun, so he is standing in the city that never sleeps!" It is a miracle that a eunuch has become a person who upholds justice for the people! ”

The celebrant's hand reached out to the city that never sleeps. The great eunuch Liu Jin has turned into a person who asks for the people's life, doesn't this make it seem that other people are of little use?

Chen Youguang was an official of the Criminal Department, and Min Jue was even more furious when he heard about it.

There's nothing else to do with this, shame on you!

Liu Jin did these things, which should have been done by them.

Now they are the great enemies of the people.

How can a person like Min Jue, who attaches such importance to his name, not be angry?

On the contrary, Gu Zuo, who was sitting on the side, was not as fierce as he was in the palace before, and his emotions were much calmer.

"In this matter, the old man wants to hand a slip into the palace. If you don't fight, the old man will fight! ”

The you in Min Jue's mouth are Gu Zuo who is sitting and not speaking.

This is a bit faceless, but this Min Shangshu is this stinky temper, and when he is in a bad mood, he even has to say two sentences to the emperor. Not to mention Gu Zuo, a junior.

"Chaoying, you calm down first." Han Wen stopped him, "The matter has come to this, what's the use of you entering the palace now?" Moreover, I believe that Liqing will not argue, who is Liu Jin? No matter how light the breeze is, Liqing will not see him meddle in. But...... Can it be useful to fight? If the emperor wants to abandon people, no one can keep them, and no one can stop the people that the emperor wants to use! ”

Gu Zuo was recalling the emperor's last words. Everyone says that Gu Liqing is a favored minister, but in fact, the emperor is the real right person and not the right person.

Han Wen continued: "Chaoying, think again. Jinyi Wei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, so what? Your Majesty sometimes thinks of some feelings, but when it comes to specific things, whoever works will use whomever it is. Whoever doesn't work will be discarded. ”

Min Jue's eyes widened in a hurry, "If this goes on for a long time, wouldn't it be a fortunate minister of the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

"Then, what does Min Shangshu want to fight with His Majesty?" Gu Zuo suddenly asked.

"Naturally, this matter should not be interfered with by the celebrant supervisor!"

"Your Majesty will ask, why can't the celebrant intervene?"

"What does Liqing say, eunuchs interfere in politics, and chaos is a sign of chaos!"

"Your Majesty will say that I didn't intend to ask eunuchs to interfere in politics, but civil officials can't do it well."

"How can it not be done? I, Min Jue, am doing this with my head up, but I want to see if I do it well? ”

"But the fact is," Gu Zuo took a breath and accentuated his tone a little, "the civil officials didn't do a good job. ”

Min Jue was still unconvinced, "What does that mean?" Let it all be done by the eunuchs? ”

Such arguments are inconclusive.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Jin Gui suddenly said something to the emperor when Liu Jin was not there, the courtiers were not there, and there was no one else in the attendant room.

Zhu Houzhao was a little unexpected, "It's the first time you've told me these things." ”

"Minister, not good at words, most of the time only know how to do, don't know how to say. Even today, there is something wrong, if it makes Your Majesty unhappy, please punish Your Majesty. ”

"There is no need to punish, as the Son of Heaven, you can't let the people around you talk nonsense, but you can't make the people around you dare not say it. The former is too soft, the latter too violent. Especially you, Jin Gui, have been doing things by my side since the time of the East Palace, and you are quiet and quiet, and you are dedicated to everything. How can I not believe you?

You said that the case of the salt class, the celebrant and the courtiers can still understand. But now a small matter has to be taken care of by the celebrant supervisor, and the courtiers are afraid that the eunuch party will become bigger. Even to the point of ...... If there is something to do, go to the degree of the celebrant and the celebrant.

I told you about this, I didn't think of it beforehand. ”

Zhu Houzhao was sitting, it was cold in winter, and he was reluctant to go outside. So he crossed his legs on the soft collapse, listened to the wind, and commented on the music.

Jin Guimo didn't let him kneel, but bent down and stood aside.

"Your Majesty is wise and decisive, wise and martial, which is recognized by the whole world. Wei Chen's original intention was not to say that His Majesty was worried. ”

"It doesn't matter. Do you know why I didn't think of it? ”

Jin Gui paused, "Please give your majesty advice." ”

"For for the Son of Heaven, there is no distinction between a foreign minister and an internal minister. The overflow of foreign ministers must be cured, and the overflow of internal ministers must also be cured. As for loyalty, treachery, good and evil, although they are polar opposites, in reality it is difficult to distinguish. Some people seem to be loyal, but they can't do it, and some people seem to be traitors, but they can do it, do you say I should be loyal or traitorous?

Therefore, when I am a country, I don't just look at black and white, there is no pure black and pure white between heaven and earth. If black works, use black, if white works, use white, and vice versa. The implications of this are not something I should be considering. ”

Jin Gui's heart shook slightly, the Son of Heaven was seventeenth in the New Year, but the words he spoke were so old.

The so-called is not something that I should consider, but the implication is that it is something that they should consider!

To put it simply, the emperor only needs to show his way of employing people, and they are the ones who want to study this way!

If someone doesn't understand, then the emperor won't consider it, and you can 'not live in the temple, but far away from the rivers and lakes'.

But this way......

Jin Gui pursed his lips.

"The minister is only afraid of traitors, and the minister is in charge."

The pen in Zhu Houzhao's hand stopped, and only then did he turn his head, "You are also my courtier." For you, do everything according to my will, is this welcome, or loyalty? Repeatedly not doing what I want, is this a rebellion, or is it upright? ”

"The minister thought, it depends on the specific matter, and the sage also said that there is a way and no way in the state."

"Then who will define whether there is a way or not?"

"Nature is the people of the world."

"All the people of the world? I have an order to open the sea, the people have praise, and the officials have also condemned, is the voice of all the people in the world praise or condemn? ”

"This ......"

"Therefore, in the final analysis, it is up to you to define whether there is a way or not. But what I am doing is right, and how can you define it? ”

"Wechen ......"

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about him, "You are not good at words, so just learn from each other's strengths." Of course, you can still say whatever you have in the future. I like your words today. ”

Jin Gui was shocked, he himself felt that it was very abrupt and harsh, and the emperor actually said that he liked it very much.

What a magnanimous emperor this is.

So he knelt down and bowed, "My Emperor Shengming! ”

Zhu Houzhao lowered his head and continued to write.

In fact, Jin Gui's words somewhat hit the other thoughts in his heart,

If civil officials don't work, they have to use eunuchs.

And there is nothing to say about this matter itself, Mao Wenyu will still be punished for doing something wrong, which has nothing to do with the difference between factory guards and Wenchen.

Not long after, something came from the east factory.

Zhu Houzhao twisted his fingers and flipped it open, and it was written how Mao Yuwen rectified Jinyiwei last night.

After a moment's thought, he spoke,

"Herald."

You Zhi, who was waiting on the side, bowed forward.

"Shengjin Yiwei commands deputy envoy Mao Yuyu, as the commander."

"Yes!"

You Ji was very surprised in his heart, he had just been punished, and now he was rewarded, and he changed repeatedly in just one day, what is the purpose of this?

Actually, there are two purposes. First, not to bully the king is already in his heart, and with this, he can be a commander. And this unexpected reward will make this sentence more ingrained in Mao Yu's heart.

Second, the eunuchs and cool officials are also on the throne, which is to convey the emperor's will to the outer court more clearly, because all the courtiers know that they are as smart as him and will not do anything for no reason, and they are not confused and angry to support the factory guards, but because they are easy to use. In this case, there is no need to talk about some other noisy words in the palace!
