With the emperor's approval, Jinyiwei began to arrest people, led by three people, Jiang Tongzu, Ma Yiqian, and Lu Meng.

There is no direct evidence that these people were involved in the assassination of the emperor.

But the resentment they have secretly spread is enough to arrest them.

As soon as the news of the assassination leaked, it immediately alarmed the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the three elders of the cabinet added six more Shangshu, as well as important ministers of the imperial court such as Dali Siqing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, either to persuade the emperor, or to hand a note into the palace to face the saints, not to mention some other courtiers.

This is also where Zhu Houzhao is irritable, he encountered this kind of thing once when he left the palace, and these old men of Confucianism are estimated to be even more annoyed with him in the future.

In the past few days, the harem has been restless because of this matter, and the same is true of the Qianqing Palace. Even Wang Wei, who has always 'connived' at him, is a little blunt.

"The emperor is the people of the world, shouldering the ancestors of the country, since the beginning of a lot of good governance, and has always been steady, but I don't know why I am always obsessed with traveling out of the palace, and originally only in the palace, and gradually away from the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division is the country's capital, and the slightest difference in the pond is the earth and the mountains are shaking. The ministers sincerely worship and beg, and hope that Your Majesty will put the community first, and will not do such things again! ”

"Sir, don't worry, I took a lot of people with me when I went far, and the so-called assassination is just a thrill."

"Your Majesty!"

"Alright, alright. I promised my husband that at least this year I wouldn't leave the palace at will. ”

Wang Wei knew the emperor well, and when he heard this, he didn't bother too much, but said: "Your Majesty, you are really scared to death of the old minister." In case something goes wrong, the old minister will also give up this old fate! ”

"Shenwuwei, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have all asked me to bring them, what can happen? And speaking of which, it is also Saion's loss of horse, and he knows that it is not a blessing, these people don't make trouble, I don't know that there are so many people with anti-heart hidden in Jingshi! ”

"When Weichen entered the palace, Jinyiwei was already arresting people."

"I haven't seen a few letters about the harm of the factory guards."

"It is a great sin to assassinate the Son of Heaven."

"Sir has never been worried that I will exacerbate the damage to the factory guards."

Wang Wei arched his hand, "Your Majesty treats the old minister as a countryman, and the minister also understands Your Majesty's will." The so-called harm of factory guards only occurred when the monarch was weak or mediocre, and it was absolutely impossible for it to occur in the Zhengde Dynasty. ”

Zhu Houzhao felt comfortable, "Those who know me, Mr. also." ”

"However, Weichen also implored Your Majesty to try his best not to implicate too much."

"This has already been instructed by Jinyiwei." Zhu Houzhao didn't mention this matter anymore, and instead asked, "I've been out for two days, but what else is going on?" ”

Wang Wei nodded, "About Mr. Binzhi." ”

"Elder Li Ge? What happened to him? ”

"The minister has tried his best to keep Mr. Binzhi, but he seems to have made up his mind, he has lost his children one after another over the years, and it is good to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the cabinet, and this is relieved, and his mind will wither."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips.

"There must be a head in life, he has no children, and if he has nothing to do, a year will be like ten years old. Besides, isn't this important task still unrelieved? ”

"Yes, but he really has no intention of going to the temple."

"Where is he from?"

"His ancestral home is Huguang, but he has lived in the capital with his father since he was a child."

"The capital is not good, many people look up and don't see what they look down, and they feel uncomfortable. I will find him a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so it is better to let him go to Yingtian. He Jian, the current governor of Yingtian, was transferred to Beijing. He Jian's two governors of the locality announced his entry into Beijing. ”

He Jian is a traditional Confucian scholar.

But he used practical actions to maintain his name. is not a person who sells fame and reputation, so in fact, the so-called fame is the sense of existence, which is not so strong.

He had served as the prefect in Henan, and in the year of the famine, he opened a warehouse for relief, but the grain in the warehouse was not enough and raised grain everywhere, and what was even more commendable was that he also tried every means to give the people loans and cattle breeds, and specifically practiced the principle of 'teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish'.

Ying Tian Governor is a relatively important position, and under his rule, Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion have the highest annual money and grain in two capitals and thirteen provinces. In the past two years, he has done a good job, farming can not grow a society with great material abundance, but he cares about the suffering of the people, attaches importance to agriculture and water conservancy, and has no notoriety, which in the feudal era, has belonged to the benefit of the party.

When he was sent to Yingtian to serve as governor, he valued his rich experience in performing his duties in Henan, Shandong, Sichuan, and other places, and he sat all the way up from the prefect, the political envoy of the Yamen, the political envoy of the right, the political envoy of the left, the political envoy, and the governor. In fact, it is an official that Zhu Houzhao values more.

Now that the magistrates have become governors, it's almost over.

"Where does Your Majesty want him to serve?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, "Transferred to the Ministry of Works." ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wei understood that in fact, he was in order to let him take over the book of the Ministry of Works.

Zeng Jian, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is 73 years old. Above the Manchu Dynasty, he is the oldest. Lin Han, the other secretary of the Ministry of Rites, like Zeng Jian, was also born in the ninth year of Xuande.

However, Lin Han's health is much better, and Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has been sick several times, seventy-three eighty-four, if he is always sick at this age, his body will not be able to endure it. After all, even young people have to be weak for a while even if they get sick.

The question is whether Li Dongyang will change his mind?

Zhu Houzhao was still a little concerned about this, and he said to Wang Wei: "If you can't persuade you, then I will persuade you." The three of them are all old ministers left by the first emperor to me, and even if this section is not mentioned, Liu, Li, and Xie are all virtuous ministers, but sometimes they have some differences of opinion with me, which I don't really blame them, as a cabinet, sometimes I am helpless. ”

As the leader of a country, you must be broad-minded, and how many Ming Jun sometimes endure that grievance even if he is very dissatisfied with a minister.

This is still needed.

If you are narrow-minded and will repay, then it will be cool at the time, but in the end you will definitely deviate from morality.

Moreover, he is a person from later generations, and he has done many things, and the great Confucians themselves will definitely have something they don't understand, and it is normal for some disputes to occur. It's a big man, and it's hard to get rid of this bit of grievance in my heart.

"Moreover, above the court, when you sing and we appear, there will always be a vicious fight between each other. But I still hope that there will be a bottom line under the struggle. One step to the elders, one step to the prisoner, this extreme political atmosphere, I don't like it. As the old saying goes, there is hard work without merit, and those who go down from the cabinet are gray-haired and old, working hard for the country for decades, and if they are inevitably liquidated in the end, I can't bear it. ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Wang Wei really felt moved and moved, the emperor was so broad-minded, those of them who were ministers, there was no need to say anything else, only to follow the death ear.

Even Wang Wei was a little sour-eyed, and praised in his mouth: "My emperor is really a generation of benevolent monarchs." ”

"Even so, there are those who want to commit assassination."

As soon as he said this, Wang Wei's heart suddenly became angry, that is, the fucking assassination was not successful, it really happened, and the loss of such an emperor in the Ming Dynasty was a great disaster!

"Assassinating the monarch is already a disloyal and unfilial person! Everyone is bound to be punished! ”

Speaking of which, Li Dongyang's incident is really just right.

A few days later.

Cabinet leaders Li Dongyang and Xie Qian really submitted their resignations and begged for bones.

According to normal etiquette, even if the emperor agrees, he will refuse, so as to save everyone's face. Wait until the ministers continue to beg for bones one after another, then at this time they will agree.

Basically, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also went through this process.

But by the third time,

The emperor took the initiative to mention Liu Jian and Liu Xixian, the governors of Shandong, above the Fengtian Palace.

"Back then, Duke Xixian was also a beggar, and I couldn't bear to let the ministers of the first emperor leave them in the countryside, so I instructed him to patrol Shandong. In the past two years, although there have been disasters in Shandong from time to time, every time since the governor has dealt with them, they have been quite effective, and the victims have often been properly resettled. The East Sanfu was originally prosperous, and now there is Tian Lianqian Mo only planting millet, and the water is full of ponds and frogs. Due to the inconvenience of transportation, the three western prefectures are slightly worse, but Xixian Gong has also repeatedly visited the prefecture and county, one is to promote water conservancy, and the other is to be imprisoned. Every time I hear it, I feel very relieved. Li Ge Lao, like Xixian Gong, is the first emperor's minister, I was reluctant to Xi Xiangong that day, just as I am reluctant to Li Ge Lao beggar bones today. ”

"In addition, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles, and the people are hundreds of trillions, and only one Xixian Duke is not enough, so the person I have in my heart is that Li Ge Lao can also patrol another place for me. Immediately, I am the one who asked the people there to say such a sentence to Li Ge Lao. ”

These are the words spoken by the emperor in a soft voice and little by little in the early dynasties.

Above the court, there are civil and military officials on the left and right, which can be said to bring the warmth between the monarch and the minister to the extreme.

Li Dongyang is the one who can make decisions, but the emperor said so, he can't be too high.

And if there is no precedent like Liu Jian, you can still say that the emperor has other motives or intentions, but because of Liu Jian, this matter has now become very pure.

It's that the emperor is reluctant to be virtuous, it's as simple as that.

Li Dongyang knew that Wang Wei's words were what the emperor meant, but he didn't expect the emperor to give him such a big face when Wang Wei's persuasion failed. To be honest, his relationship with the emperor is actually not comparable to Liu Jian, and there are no fewer disputes over the years. So he didn't dare to think about it.

But I didn't expect that things would really get to this point.

So this emperor...... Reasoning can move you to death, and stubbornness can make you angry.

However, no matter what, at this point, the emperor can meet and smile and enmity, not to mention him, a courtier?

Li Dongyang trembled and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty the Emperor, the emperor's virtue is far-reaching, long-standing and boundless, and my country has a long-standing foundation for thousands of years. ”

The occurrence of this incident can be regarded as adding a little warmth to the whole city of Jinyi Wei Dasuo.

But this warmth did not slow down the footsteps of Jinyiwei, Jiang Tongzu was found to be in Shuntian Mansion, and Mao Wenwen had already ridden a horse to arrest him.
