Chapter 367: Caution

The edict on personnel is naturally the longest, Zheng He read it for a long time, and finally finished reading the reward, the official generals of the Beiping Department and the former ministers of Jianwen have been rewarded with the same amount as their previous efforts, and for the arrangements of other officials, Zhu Di has obviously already made a good draft.

In the four years of Jingnan, there are countless officials who have been belittled by Jianwen, and the Ming Dynasty now needs to be stable, which means that many officials need to return to their posts, so in addition to those officials who have been on the list of traitors, Zhu Di generously said that he is not to blame in the past, even if it is a general like Sheng Yong'an who has disgusted himself for several years, as long as he is willing to surrender, all officials will be reinstated, in short, the current vacancy in the imperial court must be filled, and the country must be settled down as soon as possible.

Can you imagine that Zhu Di must have gritted his teeth when he wrote this, Ping An Shengyong, a general who had blocked him for several years, did he really want to let go? It's just that although Jiangshan is already in hand, the power of public opinion can never be ignored, and his body has been branded as an anti-thief, which can't be helped, so it is what he is most anxious about now to settle everything down as soon as possible.

Everything has to be lost, endure the evil anger for a while, in exchange for the stability of the country, it is a profitable and unlost business, and besides, he is now the emperor, he really wants to settle accounts after the autumn, who can run away?

In this way, Zhu Di made the most tolerant choice, the generals who fought with him, and the civil officials who wrote and scolded him, are not to blame in the past, anyway, except for those people who hate them so much, as long as everyone else shrinks their necks and becomes good citizens, they will work together to govern the world from now on.

Of course, such an attitude is inevitably a bit flattering and concessionary, but Zhu Di made it clear a long time ago, that is, although the emperor looks very cool, he is not necessarily here to enjoy happiness, Zhu Yunwen's fate is the best example, once he sits in this position, the way of being a king is not as simple as doing what he wants.

Obviously, this attitude has put all the officials at ease, after all, no one wants to see Zhu Di chase after the officials who had fought and scolded him before to find trouble as soon as he took office, and if they could let go of everything, they would completely stand on Zhu Di's side.

The personnel arrangements have passed like this, and this holy decree has been read for the longest time, and when Zheng He finished reading it, the hundred officials with all kinds of thoughts were relieved, after all, the enthronement ceremony was almost here, but before they could bow down, Zheng He took out another holy decree with his backhand!

The officials were dumbfounded, is it over? How is Zhu Di like Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, a workaholic? This is your enthronement ceremony, and it's not a fucking court.

Zheng He cleared his throat and continued to read: "The four prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, the resumption of Hongwu taxes, floods and droughts in the four directions, are exempted from the two taxes, and the local government must open a warehouse to help the people, and then report to the imperial court, and the officials of the Jinyi Guard of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will inspect the place, and those who conceal the disaster and do not report it, and those who do not provide relief will be arrested and punished!" At the beginning of the new dynasty, the local government should focus on appeasing the people and the army, and there are traitors and greedy people, and they are serious crimes! Beijing officials seven or more, foreign officials and counties above, each of them one person, the amount of writing, if there is corruption, sitting! ”

It's obviously June, but there seems to be a gust of cold wind blowing through the Golden Palace, and all the officials can't imagine that the enthronement ceremony is not over yet, and Zhu Di has actually begun to govern!

This decree is about taxation and the rule of officials, one is to balance the taxes of the world; The second is to show that Zhu Laosi attaches great importance to the disaster, and now that he is the emperor, if anyone dares to reach out to the disaster again, don't blame him for turning his face and not recognizing people; Third, it is about anti-corruption, it can be seen that Zhu Laosi's hatred for corruption has a fight with Zhu Yuanzhang, and the anti-corruption order was issued at the enthronement ceremony, which made it clear that it was to let the officials clean up their hands and feet, and let senior officials recommend people to inspect and be officials, because Zhu Laosi issued a warning, the knife has been sharpened, if anyone feels tired on the neck, Zhu Laosi doesn't mind giving them a ride, there are reserve officials, and it will be easy to deal with the shortage of officials at that time.

Compared with the first three edicts, this one can be regarded as full of malice, it is obvious that Zhu Di did not intend to fool the enthronement ceremony so much, the four edicts of Yongle, the first one overthrows Jianwen, the second shows his background, the third appeases the ministers, and the fourth is to tell the hundred officials clearly that he Zhu Laosi is not the kind of emperor who can be fooled by Zhu Yunwen!

Jianwen has been lenient for four years, and has relieved the frost of the trembling officials of the Hongwu Dynasty, and now that he heard this edict, everyone has only one idea left.

The life of the officials is going to be sad again!

……

"Ouch, Yasukuni Gong, go slowly!"

After the conclusion of the amnesty of the world, the court meeting dispersed, and Gu Huai had just walked out of the main hall when a shout rang out behind him.

It's a pity that Gu Huai didn't have the consciousness of becoming a first-class duke of the Ming Dynasty at all, and he didn't know that others were calling him, but he walked out while thinking about things, until his sleeve was pulled by someone, he turned back in surprise, and it was actually Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao Guo, who grabbed him.

At this moment, Li Jinglong was completely gone, and Gu Huai saw his down-and-out appearance in Jinling, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Your Majesty ascended the throne and the throne, and the world is decided, I haven't been able to find a chance to thank and thank the Duke of Yasukuni before, and I must not miss it again today, just the drunken incense building of the Qinhuai River..."

Gu Huai understood, he was not at war now, as soon as Zhu Di ascended the throne, he followed the chicken dog to heaven and became a big man, and the communication between the powerful people who had never thought about it before came to the door by himself.

If you don't go, isn't it too faceless? Li Jinglong is also a dignified prince; But go ahead, there are so many things going on right now, the secret spy department, the brocade guard, the military camp... Where did he have the heart to drink flower wine?

Probably seeing that Gu Huai was a little embarrassed, Li Jinglong clapped his hands: "Yes, the Duke of Yasukuni is no better than my idle days, the new dynasty has been decided, I'm afraid I will have to be busy for a while longer, don't worry, don't worry!" ”

Gu Huai was a little embarrassed to give face like this, he and Li Jinglong walked down the long steps outside the Jinluan Hall side by side, and chatted: "I was slightly offended before..."

"Hey, the Duke of Yasukuni is too polite, what are you doing with this," Li Jinglong waved his hand, "If it weren't for the Duke of Yasukuni's order, I'm afraid that Jinglong would still be the same as if he didn't know the taste of food today, where would there be today's scenery?" This kind of grace of recreation, how to say two words, beating and scolding is also to be obtained! ”

Gu Huai was dumbfounded, he really didn't expect Li Jinglong to become like this, thinking that Li Jinglong was also a person who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops back then, how could he become a people-pleasing personality now? That's a shameful thing to say.

He didn't even know how to take that.

Before he had gone far, someone chased after him, it was Zheng He, who had a very good relationship with Gu Huai, he saluted Li Jinglong, and then said to Gu Huai: "Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Zhengxin Palace." ”

Gu Huai nodded, and was about to follow Zheng He back, Zheng He smiled again: "Everyone else is looking for a house, but you don't have a place to live, where can you send the Danshu iron coupon robe and honor guard?" Is it possible to send it to the barracks? ”

Gu Huai then remembered that he didn't even have a place to stay in Jinling, but the small courtyard of Jinyiwei could make do with it for a few days, and it just so happened that he should be busy with a lot of Jinyiwei's affairs these days...

"Yasukuni doesn't have a place to live yet? This can't be done, I just have a lot of houses there, if the Duke of Yasukuni doesn't mind..."

Gu Huai glanced at him deeply, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Cao Guogong, it's really inconvenient to have no place to live, just enough to borrow for a while." ”

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the smile on Li Jinglong's face faded, he originally wanted to give the house directly to Gu Huai, but Gu Huai said that he borrowed it, could he still give it away?

He looked at Zheng He's back, smashed it, smashed it, the great eunuch of the inner palace, both of them have a lot to do with this Gu Huai, and they are the second heroes of Jingnan, and they also hold the secret spy department and the brocade guard...

He flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked down the steps, the last time he made a lot of money for his speculation, and this time, he decided to put all his bets on Gu Huai.

Who is closer to Zhu Di? Is it a minister like him who took refuge in the past, or is it an upstart like Gu Huai who followed Zhu Di from scratch?

The atmosphere in the court today is already very strange, especially when rewarding the old ministers of Jianwen, look at it, the officials of the Beiping Department and the old ministers of Jianwen will make trouble sooner or later.

It's time to take sides!

……

In the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Di changed out of the dragon robe, only wearing bright yellow civilian clothes, and was looking at the folds that had just been transferred over by the six departments, and the backlog during this time, when he heard the footsteps, he looked at Gu Huai who walked in: "You received the Jinyi Guard?" ”

Gu Huai nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

As soon as Pei Xi left, the Jinyi Guards were leaderless, and Gu Huai was the chief officer of the Secret Spy Division, so he also temporarily took care of the affairs of the Jinyi Guard, but the military affairs were busy these days, and he really didn't have time to take a look at the Jinyi Guard.

"Since you have entered the capital, the secret spy department should not be set up independently, so it should be merged into Jinyiwei," Zhu Di thought for a moment, "And next to deal with traitors and arrest hundreds of officials, it is not good to let you come forward all the time, after all, it is the prince of the country, and this kind of dirty work should be done by another person." ”

Gu Huai's heart sank suddenly, Zhu Di... Wary of yourself?

Indeed, the secret spy department, Jinyiwei, this kind of spy yamen, it is impossible to hold it in the hands of one person all the time, especially now that the country has been decided, Zhu Di still needs the Jinyi Secret Spy Department to inspect hundreds of officials for him... How much power is that? Gu Huai personally brought up the Secret Spy Division, and now he holds Jinyiwei in his hand, plus the identity of Guogong, doesn't that mean that as long as he thinks about it in the future, anyone can be beaten by Jinyiwei?

Zhu Di needs a person who is absolutely obedient and has absolutely no dissent... At this moment, he moved the idea of merging the Secret Spy Division and Jinyi Guard, and taking it away from Gu Huai's hands, was he worried that Gu Huaiquan would lean into the opposition?

I've just ascended the throne, and I'm starting to think about the future... Although Gu Huai could figure out Zhu Di's thoughts, a deep haze still appeared in his eyes, and he arched his hand: "... Obey the order. ”

"What do you think of Ji Gang?"

Gu Huai was shocked, Ji Gang? Zhu Di moved the idea of letting Ji Gang take over Jinyiwei?

Going around and around, and actually back on this road? He discovered and promoted Ji Gang, and then suppressed Ji Gang, and even had murderous intent towards Ji Gang, all because after Ji Gang became the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the traces left in the history books made people shudder.

Now Zhu Di has such a mind again? Is this a merciless mockery from the torrent of history?

"Ji Gang... Yunwen Yunwu, who has trained in Jinyiwei and the Secret Spy Division, and has also lurked in Jinling for a period of time, is indeed suitable," Gu Huai lowered his head slightly, he knew that he was not asking for his opinion, "The minister also thinks that Ji Gang will be very competent as the commander of Jinyiwei." ”

Zhu Di said: "He has been a groom for more than half a year, and there is nothing to say about his loyalty, so let's do it, there must be someone to do the things on the official side, I think about it, except for you, Ji Gang is suitable, the secret spy department and Jinyi Wei are handed over to him, and it is time for you to hand over to him... Pack up some people. ”

A cold glint bloomed in his eyes: "Do they think I'm really that good-tempered?" ”
